Cao Xing knew that if he continued to argue like this, it would be endless, and it was time to make a final decision directly, since this Zhu family master has always been short-tempered, and if he disagrees, he will shout loudly, so Cao Xing will start with him.

Cao Xing walked down directly from above, looked at the Zhu family master intently, and then pointed his finger at Cai Gui and asked: "This family master said well, everyone is doing things for the imperial court, they are all doing things for the Son of Heaven, and they should hold each other hostage and humble each other, but when I sent someone to the Cai family master's house to collect taxes that day, why was it blocked, I see that you families, not only did you not put the law in your eyes, but also did you not put the Son of Heaven in your eyes, do you know what crime to be guilty of!" ”

Cao Xuan raised the severity of the problem higher and higher, and now it has reached the point of disrespecting the Son of Heaven, Cai De and the others have a trace of panic in their hearts, after all, Cao Xuan has directly aimed the finger at their family.

Cai De wanted to deny it, but when he thought of it, he probably couldn't shake it off, because he vaguely remembered that just a few days ago, that guy named Fengyun really broke into their house with a few family members, saying that he wanted to investigate the number of people in their family and the size of the land.

Cai Gui was furious when he heard this, what kind of joke was Cao Xing playing on him, the reason why the family can be called a family is because they have annexed a large amount of land, and raised a large number of people in the house, as soon as the population is large, the land is also more, and the grain production will naturally come up, but they suppress these people and do not report it, so they can pay a lot less persuasion, accumulate countless money, and naturally form a family.

Now Cao Xing sent people not only to investigate the size of their land, but also to investigate their population, if it is really found out, it has been reported by then, and their property does not know how much they will lose, so Cai Gui is naturally unwilling, and immediately came out with a group of people, armed with knives instead of armor, looked at Fengyun angrily, as if to warn Fengyun, if Fengyun dares to take a step forward, he will chop Fengyun.

Feng Yun was also afraid of being beaten, so he could only retreat with a smile on his face, turned around and reported the matter to Cao Xing, and also knew that these big families must have arranged a lot of private soldiers at home. It is going to be done according to the normal procedure to check the details of their home, which is definitely not possible.

However, Cao Xing said it in front of everyone today, and raised this issue to the height of his family and country, Cai Gui was a little embarrassed, so he simply said with his neck crossed.

"Cao Xing, as a county magistrate, you want to check the local land tax and population, I naturally won't object to this, but I don't know the person who suddenly broke in that day, and I don't know that you arranged it, so I naturally want to blast it out!"

However, Cao Xing laughed thoroughly when he heard this, he hurriedly walked in front of Cai Gui, and said with a sincere face: "So that's the case, as your nephew Cai De said just now, a misunderstanding, everyone solved it, now that you know, then I will immediately send my subordinates to your house, check these things out and come back!" ”

As soon as Cao Xing's words came out, Cai Gui knew that he had lost his words, this time, it seemed that Cao Xing had caught a bigger handle, if Cao Xing really broke into his home with someone, it would be okay.

"Cao Xing! You, you ......" Cai Gui was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while. In the end, he could only snort coldly, beckoned to Cai De and the others, brushed his sleeves and left, at this moment, only the head of the Zhu family was left, standing in place, he seemed to want to argue with Cao Xing, but Cao Xing ignored so much, turned around and left directly, he wanted to step forward and grab Cao Xing, but Zhou Cang was angry and blocked in front of him, and he was instantly stunned.

"Duan County Order, please announce the verdict of your case!" Cao Xuan stood directly in front of Duan Ke and asked unhurriedly.

Duan Ke raised his head and looked at Cao Xing, at this moment his heart was a little frightened, although Cao Xing's words sounded smooth and seemed to be a request, but he could feel that Cao Xuan and Zhou Cang, Chen Hu and the others behind Cao Xing, were all pressing him a lot.

Duan Ke now suddenly realized in his heart that this Cao Xuan is not a good stubble, originally this time, he could rely on his wrist to balance the forces of the two sides again, but it is a pity that those people from the family can't sit still and want to defeat Cao Xuan at one time, but he never expected that Cao Xuan was not defeated by them, but was overshadowed by Cao Xuan.

Now that Cao Xing has defeated Duan Ke, he is also powerless in his heart, although he doesn't want to be at the mercy of others like this, but soon he thought of a question, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and his eyes gradually became brighter, looking at Cao Xing and nodding with a smile.

"Now that the evidence of murder and arson by Zhu Split and the other eight is conclusive, the official has decided to execute the beheading at noon tomorrow!" When Duan Ke said this, the people at the door all applauded.

And Duan Ke also smiled, left his position directly, and returned to the back hall, Cao Xuan did not leave immediately, he slowly walked down the high platform, and walked towards You Tie, he patted You Tie, who had not reacted at the moment, and said: "You County Lieutenant, I really have to work hard for you, tomorrow I will ask for a knife, I'm afraid you will have to sit in charge yourself, but in order to help you share some of the pressure, I will still be there!" ”

"Cao! Sex! Looking at Cao Xing's proud look, You Tie's mouth popped out of Cao Xing's name word by word, as if he was willing to tear Cao Xing alive.

However, Cao Xing shook his head indifferently, and cast a contemptuous look at him, as if to say that You Tie's father-in-law Cai Gui was so angry that Cao Xing left angrily, not to mention that he You Tie, if he dared to mess around, he would die a miserable death.

Zhou Cang called a few officials, and brought all Zhu Lie and others, who were crying for their father and mother, to prepare for beheading tomorrow.

The next day came soon, Cao Xing sat on the execution ground, looking at the sky with blue sky and white clouds, today's weather is very good.

Cao Xuan sat on the chair next to him, looking at You Tie who was sitting in the main seat, holding a token in his hand, trembling and not daring to throw it down, Cao Xuan was not in a hurry about this, he didn't believe it, now that the evidence is conclusive, there will be something, and someone will fly in immediately, shouting a knife to keep people.

Since You Tie can't do it, then it will wait slowly, if it can't be cut today, then it will be cut tomorrow, and if it can't be cut tomorrow, it will be cut the day after tomorrow.

At this moment, You Tie's heart was already in a mess, he didn't know what to do, looking at Cao Xing's leisurely expression and looking at it again, the sun in the sky, at this moment, the time was infinitely close to noon, but there was still no news from their family.

The officials next to him were there to remind You Tie repeatedly that the hour had come. You Tie couldn't drag it anymore, so he could only throw down the token in his hand in the end, and when the executioner raised his knife in a few hands, several human heads fell to the ground in a round way.

Although this scene was a bit cruel, some of the people next to them couldn't help but jump up and cheer when they saw that now those disciples of the family were corrupt officials and corrupt officials who had finally received the punishment they deserved.

And Cao Xuan also calmly got up and walked over, patting You Tie on the shoulder: "County Lieutenant You, you have done a very good job, you are simply the parent official of the people of Bianyun County, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you for them!" ”

You Tie trembled with anger, but Cao Xuan didn't care so much, and left with Zhou Cang with a wave of his hand.

In the following time, there was a phenomenon in Bianyun County, the people who did not dare to report to the officials before, once they encountered any trivial matters that could not be solved, or unfair treatment, now they began to learn to beat the drum in the yamen and voice grievances.

Every time Duan Ke decided the case, You Tie and Cao Xing were both sitting next to them, and the two of them would also express fierce opinions on the case, but if they were careful, they would find that almost all the cases in which the two of them were present were between civilians and families.

Cao Xian was naturally on the side of the commoners, while You Tie wanted to find a way to exonerate those disciples of the family.

The two of them were like lawyers in later generations, arguing fiercely in court. But I have to say that You Tie wants to debate with Cao Xing, which is tantamount to an egg hitting a stone, You Tie belongs to the kind of person who is more reckless, although he also knows some words, but it is not complete.

So when he was talking, he was a little short of words, but Cao Xing seized the opportunity, found the main point, and hit the key point directly, and the case was basically over.

You Tie wanted to cry without tears, and in the end he could only invite Cai De, who had read in the family, again, but Cai De had a shadow of what happened last time, and the truth couldn't be explained at all, so in the past ten days, there were eight lawsuits in the yamen of Bianyun County, and the final result of the lawsuit was won by civilians.

The people were all cheering, and at the same time they also remembered two people, one was Cao Xing, and the other was naturally Duan Ke.

On this day, Duan Ke finally decided, the people won, the disciples of the family lost money, and the people were all happy, while enjoying the praise of these people, Duan Ke couldn't help but glance at Cao Xing next to him.

In just over a month, Cao Xing really brought him different changes, at least giving him a certain prestige in Bianyun County. For Duan Ke, this is indeed a beneficial and harmless thing. Duan Ke naturally expressed his heartfelt thanks to Cao Xuan in his heart, but when he finally looked at Cao Xing, a trace of pity flashed in the depths of his eyes, and then the look in his eyes completely changed. Begin to become cold and indifferent.

Duan Ke returned to the back hall again, and only Cao and You Tie were left in the yamen, the two of them were-for-tat, You Tie was also mad with anger, and began to desperately find fault with Cao Xing, but Cao Xing's self-discipline is excellent, and there will not be any handle that You Tie grasps in his hands, so now You Tie is becoming more and more crazy.
