At this time, there was a burst of applause from the hall, and the onlookers felt that the sentence was just, because it was extremely fair to punish the rich man and drive out the scoundrel. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Wu Shifan hurriedly took his three sons to kowtow and thank him, although this more than 1,000 taels of silver is still too much, but the Wu family can still afford to lose money.

Lord Hai said to the officials: "Take the second plaintiff!"

Wu Fei's eyes stared, and he saw Mu Zihan being taken to the hall by two officials, he already knew that Mu Zihan was denouncing the old things, saying that his family occupied an area in the countryside, and his three brothers did not learn and did not know how to do evil, so they harmed the township.

Mu Zihan stood in the hall, he had been a showman, so he was exempt from kneeling. At this time, Mu Zihan seemed to be a different person, with a solemn face, as if he was full of righteousness and awe.

Lord Hai did not instruct his subordinates to watch the seats, Wu Fei and Mu Zihan were able to stand without kneeling, and they were already extremely gracious.

When Lord Hai asked what he was complaining about, Mu Zihan took out a piece of white cloth from his body while accusing the Wu family of evil deeds, and said: "This is the signature of some people in Wujiang County, they are deeply oppressed by the Wu family, and there is nowhere to redress their grievances.

Wu Fei's father and son were taken aback, this kid actually went to Wujiang to collect evidence, it seems that he has been planning for a long time, and he is ruthless to completely destroy the Wu family.

Hai Daren said: "Submit it!"

A servant took the piece of cloth signed by Mu Zihan and presented it to the front of the hall, and Lord Hai took a closer look, only to see that in addition to the complaint against the Wu family, dozens of names were densely signed below, and some also pressed vermilion fingerprints, obviously hating the Wu family very much. Master Hai got up and went down the hall, walked in front of Wu Shifan, spread out the cloth, and said, "Do you recognize these people?"

Wu Shifan raised his head, read the names above, and said, "Mo Xiaoliu, Zhang Fucheng, he, the two of them also sue me?" A mouthful of blood spurted out, and he almost fainted to the ground.

Of course, Wu Fei knew that Mo and Zhang lost their parents because of the chaos and were fostered in the Wu family since childhood, these two people were busy farming, and helped the Wu family do some physical work in their spare time, Wu Shifan was very good to them, and also helped them marry a daughter-in-law in the countryside, and was responsible for the Wu family's farming in Wujiang. Wu Fei hurriedly helped his father to take his pulse, feeling that the old man's pulse was a little chaotic, obviously angry, he was busy pushing blood through the palace, and a spiritual energy was slowly injected into the past.

Wu Shifan felt that his body was refreshed for a while, as if his spirit and spirit had recovered instantly, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

Lord Hai returned to the hall, turned around and said, "These people, do you recognize them?"

Wu Fei's two eldest brothers nodded together and said, "Some of them are recognized, some are neighbors, and some are tenants." ”

Wu Fei said secretly: "Could it be that Lord Hai is going to judge the case based on these alone, these evidences have not been confirmed." Lord Hai walked to Mu Zihan's side and suddenly asked, "Mu Xiucai, how many years have you known the Wu family?"

Mu Zihan replied respectfully: "My lord, the student has taught in the Wu family before, and he has known the Wu family for seven or eight years. ”

Lord Hai asked, "Do you have any past grudges with the Wu family?"

Mu Zihan shook his head and said, "No." ”

Hai Daren said: "Since it is not a personal vendetta, this official wants to know, why do you want to avenge these neighbors?"

Mu Zihan said solemnly: "The so-called uneven things are managed, and the uneven roads are shoveled, as a scholar, I see this kind of thing of fish and flesh people with my own eyes, so I naturally want to ask for the people's lives!"

As soon as he said this, some people among the onlookers applauded, Wu Fei was so angry that his nose was crooked, who are these people, just based on one side, they concluded that his Wu family was heinous?

Lord Hai paced over and said to Wu Fei's second brother, "You gave this Mu Xiucai two hundred taels of silver the day before yesterday?"

Before Wu Shifan could say anything, Wu Fei's second brother Wu Yu replied: "This is indeed the case." ”

Lord Hai snorted angrily and said, "This is called a thief's weak heart, this official doesn't have to send someone to Wujiang to verify, just know that you bully your neighbors!"

Seeing that it was Wu Fei again, Lord Hai stepped forward just now, replied for his father, looked very bold, and said secretly: "The third son of the Wu family is generous, although he is young, he has his own bearing, which should not be underestimated." He nodded and said, "If you have anything to say!"

In fact, Wu Fei is now a lifter and is qualified to be an official in the imperial court, even if Mu Zihan has the status of a showman, he must be one level lower.

Wu Fei hugged his fists and said: "My lord doesn't know, although our Wu family has no grudge against Mu Xiucai in the long days and no enmity in the near future, but the family teacher has a lot of connections with this Mu Xiucai. ”

Lord Hai was stunned for a moment and said, "Who is your teacher?"

Wu Fei saluted the sky and said: "The family teacher is the official of the Ministry of Literature and Selected Division, and the old master of Zhou, Zhou was reborn. Lord Hai was stunned and said, "You are Zhou Chongsheng's protégé?"

Wu Fei nodded and said, "The student has insulted the reputation of the teacher. ”

Lord Hai's face was a little surprised, and he said, "It turns out that you are Wu Fei, the first genius of Songjiang Mansion?"

Wu Fei nodded and said: "Outsiders are promoted, and students don't dare to call themselves like this." ”

Lord Hai suddenly snorted coldly: "What do you mean by bringing out the identity of the teacher, do you want the official to let you go?"

Wu Fei didn't expect Lord Hai to be so unkind, but this also showed that he was iron-faced and selfless, and even Chu Wang Zhu Youzhen knew Wu Fei's identity for the first time, so he had to get up and salute him in person, but Lord Hai just nodded slightly.

"The students don't dare to ask the adults to open up the net, but there is still something to explain to the adults here. ”

Wu Fei said.

Lord Hai said coldly: "Speak-"

Wu Feidao: "This Mr. Mu Zihan has taught in our Wu family, and the three of us brothers have been taught and enlightened. ”

Lord Hai asked, "Does this have anything to do with this case?"

Wu Feidao: "Yes, the student wants to ask Mr. Mu, why was he belittled by the imperial court in the first place, and he was not allowed to gain fame for the rest of his life?"

Why Mu Zihan was demoted, he has always been secretive, and even the companions around him don't know, every time someone asks, Mu Zihan prevaricates, and then he naturally doesn't want to answer, and said: "Your question has nothing to do with this case, please don't answer it." ”

Hai Daren hesitated slightly, but did not deny it.

Wu Fei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, for fear that Lord Hai would not allow him to ask, so he would have no way to defend himself, so he continued: "Teacher, when you were demoted, was it the family teacher who was in office?"

Mu Zihan knew that Wu Fei wanted to say that Old Master Zhou had broken his career, so he held a grudge, shook his head and said: "Being demoted under him is a mistake in his duties, and it has nothing to do with Old Master Zhou!"
