"Quietly, quietly!"

Wang Hai coughed twice and waved his hand, signaling the people who were in anger to calm down a little.

When the people saw him speak, they all stopped scolding and listened to what he was saying.

Wang Hai said slowly: "Ladies and gentlemen, my cousin Wang Mang's previous proposal is still under discussion, and it is not final. As you all know, being in a high position also has the difficulties of being in a high position, and not everything can be smooth. After all, who else in this world can easily give up their wealth? The six counties of Yuzhou belong to my cousin, if it weren't for his last resort, he would have given it up.

There are many issues in this matter that need to be carefully discussed and studied, and they cannot be determined all at once. Just now, my cousin also said that today is not to discuss the matter of the six counties, but to try the case of Li Ao's murder. The seizure of this case basically has nothing to do with me, it was all investigated by my cousin, and I don't need to take advantage of the situation to rob him of this credit.

I hope that everyone can say one thing and two things, and don't mess around. Don't get involved with others. My younger sibling Jingyan never asks about political affairs, only family affairs. Now you are insulting her as well, isn't that unreasonable? ”

Wang Hai is the eldest son of the king from the first to the present, and he is known for his prestige and high virtue. At this moment, as soon as he came forward to speak, the people also began to think quietly.

Of course, the reason why he opened his mouth to solve the siege was purely because there was no way. After all, Wang Ping said before that this case has nothing to do with her. If he insists on pulling the case on himself now, it will definitely not do any good.

In his opinion, anyway, this case was not solved by himself, and when the trial starts, Wang Mang will have to make the decision. If you rashly receive merit and the prisoner is not recruited, it will also be a trouble.

Moreover, he can also use this matter to buy a good relationship and go out, and earn a little reputation for being kind and modest.

When the people heard the words, they praised one after another: "Young Master Wang Hai, you are very right, it is true that we lost our words just now." ”

"Yes, who doesn't know Young Master Wang Hai's merits in the six counties, who doesn't know? Now the young master can obviously take the credit, but he doesn't touch it at all, which shows how upright his temperament is. ”

"Justified, justified. Although this case was not solved by Young Master Wang Hai himself, I believe that he must have come up with many schemes to guide Wang Mang to crack it. If Wang Mang was alone, how could he solve the case so quickly? Now Young Master Wang Hai does not take any credit, and completely dissociates himself. It seems that the six counties of Yuzhou will be dominated by him in the future, so why should I worry about not having enough food and clothing? ”

In an instant, the plot was immediately reversed. Wang Hai has become a great sage, and Wang Mang is a despicable villain who is not virtuous, incompetent, talentless, and wise, and can only reap benefits.

Wang Mang watched the faces of these people change instantly, and couldn't help but wonder for a while, do he still want to work for this kind of person?

He has already seen it, and he will not talk about the six counties. Speaking of this case alone, no matter who cracked the case, it was Wang Hai who finally won the hearts of the people.

If Wang Hai hadn't cracked it, the people would have thought that he had secretly made a plan to help Wang Mang, and then gave the credit to Wang Mang. If he cracks it, it means that he is brilliant and discerning.

All in all, no matter what the ending, he is the most advantageous.

Wang Mang secretly smiled bitterly three times, feeling that there is still a long way to go if the people want to truly have their own thoughts, have their own opinions and judgments, and not be so easily bewitched by others.

When he saw that the people were quiet, he did not say much, and sat on a high position in the court. Then he slapped the wood and shouted: "Take the prisoners Ye, Yuan Kui, and Zhou Ping to the court." ”

"Yes, sir!"

The soldiers went down a few and went to the prison to pick up people.

After a while, the soldier took Yuan Kui and the three into the lobby.

The three of them were chained with iron chains on both hands and feet, and as they moved, a metal clash was heard, giving people a sense of legal ruthlessness.

The people were slightly surprised when they saw the three of them.

Zhou Ping has a meritorious reputation in the examination, and among the townships, he can be regarded as having some fame, and often helps people write letters to his son's family and other things. Yuan Kui is usually honest and honest, and he has no criminal record. As for the Ye family, she is a weak woman who is powerless, how much skill can she have?

Now the people saw that all three of them had been captured, and they all whispered.

When the three of them came to the lobby, they immediately fell to the ground and said in unison: "My lord, the small people are wronged, the small people are wronged." I beg the adults to be the masters, and I ask the fathers and villagers to be the masters, we are wronged. ”

The three of them had already discussed it last night, and they wanted to come and refuse to admit their guilt.

Now they saw that many people were watching, and they were even more excited.

Especially Zhou Ping, who is familiar with poetry and books, and has a bit of a brain, he explained to the onlookers: "Fathers, yesterday evening, Ye begged me to write a funeral message for her deceased husband Li Ao, and negotiate and organize the funeral. Unexpectedly, Lord Wang Mang, Lord Wang Hai and Miss Wang Ping broke into the door of the Ye family together, not to say that we were murderers.

Yuan Kui can testify about this matter, Yuan Kui has always been honest and honest, where would he do such a murderous thing? And if I kill Li Ao, what's the benefit of being with me? I think it must be Lord Wang Mang who wants to get back the 1,000 reward of silver, and at the same time wants to use it to establish a reputation, so he framed me and others, and I ask you to administer justice to me in this matter. ”

The beautiful woman Ye also hid her face and cried: "Zhou Gongzi's words are not bad, everyone knows that I am illiterate, and I can't prepare for the funeral of my deceased husband at all." I couldn't bear to be undignified for my deceased husband's funeral, so I specially begged Zhou Gongzi to help come up with an idea.

Yuan Kui was also invited by me to prepare the coffin, and helped me prepare the funeral utensils by the way. But who expected that Yuan Kui was comparing with Zhou Gongzi with utensils last night to discuss things. The three of them, Wang Mang, Wang Hai, and Miss Wang Ping, suddenly broke in, insisted that they had killed my deceased husband, and that they had fought unevenly among the spoils, and accused me of being in harmony with the outside world.

Woo woo, woo woo, pity me a weak woman who has nowhere to redress her grievances. Ladies and uncles, think about it, my late husband Li Ao was very good to me, and he had a lot of business property. I don't want to do it with a dignified lady and lady, why do I do such a flattering thing? ”

Yuan Kui pretended to have a wooden expression, and said with a firm face: "Fathers, although I can't read big characters, I also know that there is a debtor who is wronged. If I didn't kill people, then I didn't kill them. Lord Wang Mang framed me and said that I was a murderer. But if I am really a murderer, then do I dare to take my head and receive a reward?

Moreover, Lord Wang Mang does not have any evidence to prove that I am the murderer. I would like to express my gratitude to all fathers and elders for the sake of justice. Lord Wang Mang is trying to take me for the blame and establish his own prestige. and then spread it, saying that he solved the case quickly and was very intelligent. ”

"That's right!" Zhou Ping said again: "Everyone knows that I have always opposed Lord Wang Mang's cession of the six counties. Now that he is deliberately framing me, it may not be that he is using me to gain authority, but he can also win a good reputation by the way. Ladies and gentlemen, if I am falsely accused today, will you not be falsely accused by him tomorrow? ”
