Chapter 464 (Brothers who raise books, lets slaughter them, otherwise the pigs will run away)
Wang Yuan's words were simply earth-shattering.
The Wang family's talker at the salt mine actually said that the scandal of human trafficking was the result of the family head's instigation!
The cold sweat on Gao Ting's body suddenly broke out, and he felt his eyelids were pounding and his scalp was numb.
I'm just trying a human trafficking case. Does it scare me that much?
Guo Desi couldn't help but secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Just now, he was complaining about Gao Ting's lack of rules and cross-border trial cases. In an instant, he felt a little happy.
Fortunately this bitch intervened.
What a great person!
The expressions on the faces of Kong Yingda and Lu Deming are the most wonderful.
They were shocked at first, then angry, with a hint of regret in their eyes.
Is this the highly respected head of the Wang family in the past, a gentle gentleman?
Qin Shubao and Niu Jinda were also stunned, and could hardly believe their ears. Cheng Yaojin subconsciously exerted force with his arms, which made Wang Yan turn his eyes white. If Qin Shubao and Niu Jinda hadn't noticed something unusual, they stepped forward and pulled away.
, if not, the head of the Wang family would be strangled to death by Cheng Yaojin on the spot.
The crowd outside is going straight to the point of frying!
"How is that possible? Who doesn't know that Wang Yan, the current head of the Wang family, is a kind gentleman who is indifferent to fame and fortune. Not only has he refused to serve in officialdom, but I heard that His Majesty even went to the Wang family to propose marriage, but was rejected on the spot by the head of the Wang family. This kind of high-spirited and honest man
How could such a person do such a crazy thing just for a little money!"
Hearing the heart-wrenching shouts from someone behind him, Li Shimin couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He turned around and looked at the middle-aged man in a sky-blue gown behind him, and raised his hand with a smile on his face.
"I wonder what this brother's name is--"
This man was so excited that he didn't notice Li Shimin's face at all. When he saw someone talking to him, he thought he had found a like-minded soulmate.
He quickly returned the favor with a fist in his arms.
"Xia Luyang Xu Dezhi——"
After saying that, he pointed angrily at Wang Yuan, who was talking about how he colluded with the head of the family and secretly trafficked people.
"How can a human being reach such a level? It is said that this evil slave usually enjoys the care and trust of the Wang Family Master and is entrusted with important responsibilities. However, he did not expect to reach this point. He even tried to maliciously bite the Family Master to reduce his own guilt.
His heart is really despicable and his behavior is despicable——"
Li Shimin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, with a hint of joking in his eyes.
"How do you know this is a malicious bite?"
The guy who called himself Luyang Xu Dezhi immediately glared and said angrily.
"Why did this brother say this? Do you even need to ask? Just because the head of the Wang family is the head of the Wang family in Taiyuan, isn't this enough?"
As he said this, this guy looked at Li Shimin with a look like "Are you stupid?"
What surprised Li Shimin the most was that this kind of unreasonable logic was praised by many people.
Especially some scholars are convinced of this reason.
"Yes, how could a family like the Wang family, which has accumulated good fortune, and a kind and kind gentleman like Wang Yan, do such a scandal..."
"Who doesn't know that the head of the Wang family is upright and upright, and does not admire the powerful..."
"The Wang family has been serving as ministers for generations, and the family has a great business. How could they do such a scandal..."
"This evil slave must have bitten with malicious intent..."
"..."
Li Shimin remained silent, and then asked someone to secretly remember their names.
Do these guys who make subjective assumptions based on hearsay and follow what others say still need to take part in the imperial examination?
Do you want to keep it for yourself?
…
These people didn't know what they had just lost, so they kept talking happily. Li Shimin didn't say anything, just turned around and looked at Wang Yuan in the lobby who was still giving out the hard news, his eyes were as deep as a
A deep, bottomless pool of water.
The clerk responsible for recording the confession broke into a cold sweat while writing.
Following Wang Yuan's confession, all kinds of shocking things appeared in front of people. Human trafficking, human life was taken lightly, the inhumane and extreme exploitation of the trafficked absentees was carried out, and the ordinary craftsmen were exploited in a clever way.
In order to seize the land around the mine, they even sent people to secretly create various accidents, forcing the surrounding people to sell the land at a low price——
All kinds of behavior are despicable and outrageous.
The Wannian County Government Office was completely silent, and outside the lobby, it gradually became quiet.
There is no way, Wang Yuan's explanation is too clear and thorough, and many things can be known to be true or false with just a little inquiry.
When things have reached this stage, all that remains is to follow the pictures and search for evidence.
By this time, Cheng Yaojin had let go of Wang Yan, and Wang Yan had resigned himself to his fate and completely given up struggling.
What else is there to struggle with?
Wang Yuan is dead!
And myself——
Based on Wang Yuan's words alone, who would dare to determine the guilt of himself, the head of the Wang family? He believed that countless people, even the emperor, would stand up and crucify Wang Yuan, labeling these confessions as slander.
Then he appeases himself, or in other words, appeases the Wang family behind him.
But it is difficult to recover from the overflowing water. The bite of this dog Wang Yuan will have an almost unavoidable impact on the reputation of the Wang family. And he will also become the sinner of the family, and the family will completely abandon him.
Thinking of this, he felt despair in his heart and stared at Wang Yuan who continued to reveal dirty information, his whole mind empty.
There was only one thought left in my mind.
"Why?"
When Wang Tong confessed, he was confused, and now Wang Yuan confessed, which also made him confused.
What happened to these outstanding disciples of our family? They all seemed to be possessed by evil spirits. One by one, they fell into the hands of this thief like Wang Zi'an——
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and an unbelievable and terrifying idea appeared in his mind.
Bewitched!
They were all bewitched by Wang Zi'an!
Once this idea appears, it instantly connects all the strange places together.
"Ah, I understand, Wang Zi'an, you are not a human being, you are a monster. You, please tell me, what kind of evil spell did you cast on our Wang family!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wang Yan suddenly jumped up, pointed at Wang Zi'an and yelled.
Wang Zian glanced at him in surprise.
Yo ho——
You almost got the truth.
He calmly exerted a deep hypnosis on Wang Yuan. Without his own suggestion, it would be useless even if Wang Yan shouted his throat out.
Then, Shi Shiran turned around, with a bright and bright smile on his handsome face.
"Master Wang, why are you so angry? What is pure will be pure by itself, and what is turbid will be turbid. Why bother shouting and throwing such childish dirty water?"
With that said, Wang Zi'an opened his arms and showed them around gracefully, and even walked into the sunshine on the steps with a smile on his face.
Looking back at the furious Wang Yan, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a simple and honest smile with a bit of shyness.
"Master Wang, look, how does my Prince An look like a monster?"
At this time, the sun shone from the side and shone on his rich and jade-like face, making his whole body seem to be emitting a transparent radiance, and he had an elegant and immortal feeling all over his body.
Like banishing an immortal!
His beautiful appearance made the eyes of some girls and young women in the crowd shine, and their breathing almost stagnated. It made those old men and women feel pity in their hearts. What a good young man!
As for the men, they all spat.
What the hell is a good looking grown man doing?
I bother--
But even for them, it is difficult for them to have the idea of what kind of monster this person is. He looks so harmless, how could he be a monster?
"He must have cast some kind of magic—"
Wang Yan turned around excitedly, took two steps forward, and stared at Gao Ting eagerly.
"Gaoming Mansion, please be fair - this prince An clearly used a witchcraft to blind Wang Yuan's mind -"
Gao Ting's eyelids jumped suddenly when he heard this.
The strange feeling in his heart was even worse than that of Wang Yan.
But he didn't dare to say.
If it’s not a monster, I don’t dare to say it. If it’s a monster, then I don’t dare to say it——
"My lord, please don't be excited. Look at this sunny day and the bright sky. Where did the evildoer come from? What's more, this is the place where the county government hears cases. It is upright and evil, and evildoers are fighting against evil. What evildoer dares to come here..."
"
Although he comforted Wang Yan with his mouth, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart.
In addition to looking like a human being, this Prince An is so evil in every aspect that he doesn't look like a human being!
How can a normal person be so evil?
The most important thing is, how can a normal person be so weird...
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and turned around to give instructions.
"Come here, give the prince a cup of herbal tea to calm him down..."
Wang Yan:……
Let me calm down your eighteenth generation ancestor——
However, other government officials didn't think so. They thought this man was angry and mad.
Hula came around and put him on a bench beside him.
Ah, this——
Finally got a seat...
This matter is a bit big, and Wannian County is not far from the Wang family's residence. The news here quickly reached the ears of the Wang family, and everyone was stunned.
Unexpectedly, even the head of the family was caught in it!
Several clan elders who had not yet had time to go home individually gathered together to make a total.
Come on, don’t hesitate, go and beg the Second Master quickly!
The second uncle they refer to refers to the second brother Wang Gui, who is the second in the family and about the same age as Wang Yan. But in terms of seniority, even Wang Yan has to be called second uncle in a proper manner.
However, this Wang Gui has an elegant temperament, deep ambitions, and does not care about fame and fortune. Let alone family affairs, he does not even make friends casually.
Now he holds the official position of Huangmen Shilang, and is also the teacher of Wei King Li Tai, with a transcendent status.
But when the nest is overturned, are there any eggs left intact?
When the Wang family encountered such a big event, they naturally couldn't care less about such trivial matters as his dislike of taking care of family affairs.
at the same time,
What happened to the Wang family has begun to ferment and spread in a terrifying way. Many people with different ideas began to mingle with the crowd outside the county government office.
Watch the situation quietly.
…
County government office.
Wang Yuan's confession has also come to an end.
At this point, there is no point in trying to stop him. Instead, it will appear that he is guilty. Therefore, Wang Yan simply closes his eyes and rests, keeping his sight out of sight.
On the contrary, Gao Ting was sweating profusely and frightened.
I knew that nothing good would happen when I met a thief like Wang Zi'an. Sure enough, I got the chance to play Dafa this time!
Although he had long wanted to stop Wang Yuan's mouth, he was the county magistrate, how could he prevent the prisoner from confessing?
What's more, there are so many pairs of eyes staring at you?
He absolutely imagined that every move he made here today would be watched by someone and then spread to His Majesty's ears. How could he dare?
What a scam, this is forcing me to carry out my strong point order to the end!
Although he was complaining in his heart, he had to hold on and put on a majestic and just look that hated evil as much as he hated it.
He endured and endured until Wang Yuan finally shut up.
He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and quickly asked someone to sort out the confession and give it to Wang Yuan for deposit.
Wang Yuan made the sign silently.
Now that all three witnesses, physical evidence, and oral confessions are available, Wang Yuan's case has become irrefutable.
Gao Ting couldn't help but take a deep breath, raised the gavel, slapped it suddenly, and pronounced the sentence on the spot, giving Wang Yuan the death penalty.
Of course, even if he wanted to impose a death sentence, he did not have the authority. After Li Shimin came to the throne, he attached great importance to the death penalty and almost everyone had to personally inspect it.
Therefore, he could also write down his own sentencing opinions based on the circumstances of the case and submit them to the Ministry of Punishment. The Ministry of Punishment would then approve it and only after Li Shimin had reviewed it could it be approved and take effect.
As for Wang Yan.
Gao Ting pondered for a long time and suddenly slapped the gavel.
"As for Wang Yan, the head of the Wang family - due to insufficient evidence, he will go home and wait for further examination by the court -"
After saying that, Gao Ting let out a long breath.
After walking down the court, he first bowed deeply to Kong Yingda and Lu Deming who were watching, then bowed flatteringly to Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda and Wang Zi'an, and then turned around and walked to Wang Yan. He arched his hands.
"My lord, I have offended you today - cough, but although Gao Ting is not talented, he has been receiving a salary from the court for a long time, so he should do his best to serve the public, serve the king, and not dare to obey his personal feelings - if the prince is not guilty, he will be high in the future. You should go to the door in person and plead guilty. If you are guilty, even if you are killed, Gao will definitely arrest you and bring you to justice."
Such awe-inspiring righteousness, such strong iron bones!
Kong Yingda and Lu Deming couldn't help but stand in awe. Of course, it also made a group of onlookers roar with applause, especially some scholars, who felt that their hearts were filled with righteousness and their blood was boiling.
"This is how a man should be a husband!"
"Gaoming Mansion, a truly loyal person——"
"..."
Even Li Shimin couldn't help but be a little surprised and nodded slightly.
This distant nephew of my uncle's family may be a little reckless and confused at times, but he still maintains his integrity and is a useful talent.
Seeing His Majesty's expression, Gao Ting couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s so dangerous, so dangerous!
Just now, I originally wanted to apologize to Wang Yan, soften him up, and comfort him with some kind words, so that he could understand that he actually had no choice but to not catch him and strangle him to death.
But fortunately, at the last moment, he saw that familiar figure in the crowd that made his nose ache and was unforgettable.
His Majesty came in person and was watching my every move in the crowd!
So what are you waiting for!
Gao Ting made a prompt decision and cleverly changed his lines as soon as the words came to his lips.
