When Wang Mang saw this posture and the young woman's appearance, he almost guessed a few signs in his heart, and it was expected that this case was caused by a red face and trouble.

The people watching at the door exchanged their heads and ears, pointed and pointed, and expressed their opinions.

Wang Mang froze and glanced at everyone. Then his eyes fell on a strong man who looked quite righteous, and asked in a low voice: "This eldest brother, the younger brother has just come from out of town, passing by here, but I don't know what is going on in this case. I just listened to your words, it seems that you have some understanding of this case, I wonder if the eldest brother can introduce the case to the younger brother? ”

This strong man glanced at Wang Mang, and said in a low voice: "Brother, this case is actually not complicated. It was all caused by Zhao Ping, the second young master of the Zhao family, who coveted other people's beauty.

This Zhao family is one of the most wealthy families in Wei City, and they also know many dignitaries in the court. As for the victims, Li Bo and his wife, they are ordinary people who make a living by doing some small business. Zhao Ping peeked at Li Bo's wife, Sun's beauty, and lured her with interests several times, but none of them attracted Sun's heart.

Just ten days ago, Li Bo temporarily left home for a few days because of business. Then Zhao Ping took advantage of the situation and forcibly occupied the Sun family that night, and beat Li Bo's father.

After Li Bo learned of this, he couldn't afford to offend Zhao Ping's power at all, and he was afraid of affecting the children, so he had to swallow his anger. The Sun family didn't want to see Li Bo die for nothing, so he didn't make a fuss. I only think that Zhao Ping got himself once, and he should be satisfied.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ping's death did not change, and after occupying it once, he didn't let it go, and continued to coerce and lure. Sun still refused. Li Bo was under pressure, and yesterday he planned to leave Weicheng with his family to avoid trouble.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ping got the news in advance and led seven or eight small servants to rush into Li Bo's house. They relied on the strength of the crowd and successfully took down Li Bo. And Zhao Ping also took possession of the Sun family in front of Li Bo.

After this incident, Zhao Ping wanted to play the cat-and-mouse trick to tease Li Bo, so he asked the little guy to release Li Bo afterwards, wanting to see what Li Bo was capable of.

At that time, Li Bo was unarmed, and although he was let go, he still couldn't help Zhao Ping, so he had to appease the bullied Sun first. In the second half of the night, Li Bo sneaked into Zhao's house with a knife to kill Zhao Ping to avenge him.

In the process, he was discovered by the Zhao family. After a fight, Li Bo killed a small servant of the Zhao family, but the person was caught by the Zhao family. Old man Li was anxious, and he couldn't come to the door, so he came to report to the official.

But who expected that Zhao Ping would sue Li Bo for killing his own little servant, demanding that the Li family compensate for the loss, and denying that he did not insult the Sun family. ”

Wang Mang heard the words, his face was expressionless, and he asked in a deep voice: "Brother, listen to your words, this Zhao family is quite powerful?" It's just that I can't figure it out, since the Zhao family is so powerful, it shows that he has no shortage of women at all. In this case, why did Zhao Ping still peek at Sun's beauty?

I guess the Sun you mentioned is the woman kneeling in the hall, right? Although this woman is a little beautiful, she has not yet reached the point of being shocked, why does Zhao Ping want to entangle this woman to death? ”

Zhuang Ding was not angry because of Wang Mang's rhetorical question, and continued to explain: "Little brother, you just came to Weicheng, but you don't know who Zhao Ping is. This son has a nickname, called Dull Overlord. He has a hobby, that is, he basically doesn't look at everyone's ladies, and only loves serious women.

In this Wei city, there are many young and beautiful women who are defiled and occupied by this son. After those women were occupied, some were imprisoned by him in the Zhao family, some were killed by him, and some were let go by him.

Anyway, no one could leave Wei City, and all of them were imprisoned by him. It seems that the beautiful young women in Wei Cheng are all his women, and when he wants it, he will go to indecent behavior. ”

"I see!" Wang Mang nodded, "In this way, the Sun family was completely harmed by the name of the young woman?" ”

"Almost, there are a few young ladies in the city, and their appearance is indeed outstanding, but they are not remembered by this son." Zhuang Ding replied.

After figuring out the ins and outs, Wang Mang didn't say anything more, but set his sights on the court to see how the city lord decided the case.

City Lord Wei Yuanjie patted Tang Mu and shouted: "All quiet, quiet." ”

As soon as he spoke, Old Man Li didn't dare to speak anymore, and Sun also stopped crying, but the tears still couldn't fall.

"Criminal Li Bo, you sneaked into the Zhao family last night, tried to harm Zhao Ping, and killed a servant of the Zhao family, can you plead guilty to this?" Wei Yuanjie asked.

Li Bo replied: "I killed the person, but Zhao Ping bullied my wife first. ”

"Just admit it." Wei Yuanjie nodded and asked Zhao Ping, "Zhao Ping, Li Bo accused you of bullying his wife Sun, is this true?" ”

"My lord, this is a slander." Zhao Ping shook his head and said: "My lord also knows that my Zhao family has a lot of money, and I already have eighteen concubines, all of whom are beautiful, so where can I still bully his wife?"

I think it must have been him who spied on my family's money and tried to kidnap me for ransom. After the matter failed, he slandered me, and asked your lord to be aware and seek justice for me. ”

Wei Yuanjie glanced at the old man beside Zhao Ping, and nodded slightly.

He naturally knows what is going on in this case, and basically knows what is going on.

After thinking about it for a while, the judge said: "The prisoner Li Bo is fierce and stubborn, plotting to kill him, and falsely accusing the virtuous, which is really a heinous crime. Come on, press Li Bo down for the official, and ask for beheading after the autumn. ”

"Adults are wronged, adults are wronged." Old man Li cried and said: "I beg my lord to be clear, this matter is all caused by Zhao Ping, even if my son kills someone, he will not be guilty of death." ”

"Wronged? Hmph, why is it wronged? Just now, your son Li Bo personally admitted that he killed someone, can the official force a confession in this matter? It is absurd to say that there is no sin that leads to death. Li Kang, this official reads that you are over sixty years old, so I will exempt you from responsibility once. You can get out of the way quickly, or you'll be punished heavily.

Also, if you commit a crime against Sun, you misbehave, hurt your morals, and lure others for no reason, causing a tragedy to happen, and you should be severely punished. Come on, you will be guilty of 30 of Sun's spine canes, and you will parade through the streets for three days to make the canon clear. ”

"Yes, sir!"

Some of the officials standing on both sides of the public hall came up and wanted to press Li Bo to take him into custody and spine the Sun family.

At this time, Zhao Ping spoke again: "Lord Wei is slow, according to the grass people's opinion, although the Sun family behaves disorderly and sometimes seduces others, she has not done anything important after all, and she should not suffer this great crime." Therefore, I implore my lord to sentence this woman to my Zhao family as a slave, and let my Zhao family reform her and make her a new person. ”

"That's a great thing!" Wei Yuanjie praised: "You have this statement, which shows your benevolence. This Sun family will be a member of your Zhao family in the future, and your Zhao family must be disciplined well, and it must not be made to make big mistakes again. ”

"Yes, my lord, thank you for your success."

Zhao Ping smiled slightly, looking at Li Bo with contempt, with a look of disdain and triumphant.

As for Li Bo, when he heard Wei Yuanjie's judgment like this, he immediately gritted his teeth angrily, glared angrily, and scolded Wei Yuanjie for his dog. Official.

As for his wife, Sun, her heart was cold, she couldn't say anything, and she was dizzy for a while.

Outside, when many people heard the verdict, they also cursed angrily.

The strong man who had spoken to Wang Mang before said to Wang Mang again: "Little brother, have you seen it now?" Those women who have been occupied by Zhao Ping, who else dares to seek revenge from him? Here, he is the Son of Heaven. The lord of the castle also has to look at his face and act, otherwise, he can change the lord of the castle at any time. ”

Wei Yuanjie saw everyone shouting and scolding, his face turned cold, "Dare to disrupt the people, dare to insult the officials of the imperial court." Come on, give this official to take down all these Diao people, and fight a hundred shares as a warning. ”
