Wang Mang took a deep breath, calmed down all kinds of distractions in his heart, and watched intently how the city lord Xu Tianjiao tried the case.

He wanted to find out some of the core things such as the character, habits, and preferences of this worldly master from Xu Tianjiao's trial, so as to lay a good foundation for asking him for advice and seeking the law later.

Wang Mang expected that since Tian Xuanzi, a master in the world, let him come to this person, it means that this person is absolutely extraordinary, and he cannot be treated with the eyes of ordinary people, and must be carefully observed.

City Lord Xu Tianjiao said: "Now let's start the trial of the first case." Tell me what you are going to sue, why you are accusing someone, and what the accused has done. ”

At this moment, there were two people kneeling in the center of the hall, and the other prisoners were standing aside waiting for the trial.

Both of them are about forty, dressed in peasant clothes and looking ordinary, these two people are the first case that Xu Tianjiao wants to try today.

The accuser pointed at the defendant and cried: "Lord Qiqi City, this person has always peeked at my mother-in-law's appearance, but he has never had a chance, so he holds a grudge. Two months ago, he brought his cattle to my field, destroying all the crops I had planted.

I asked him to reason for compensation, but he refused to admit it and did not give compensation. A few days later, he became ill-intentioned again, and even stole my chickens, ducks, fish, and geese, and even destroyed my house to frighten my mother-in-law..."

The defendant didn't wait for him to finish, and hurriedly retorted: "The adults are clear, but the small ones are wronged, and he is purely falsely accused." I beg your Excellency to uphold justice and give me a clear name..."

Wang Mang listened to these things and thought about them secretly.

The most important things for the common people are the crops grown in the fields and the livestock raised at home. These things are important things for the survival of a family, and they should never be easily ignored. It is necessary to carefully investigate and deal with the case, and give heavy penalties to the saboteurs.

City Lord Xu Tianjiao listened for a while with half-squinted eyes, and when he saw that the informant did not mean to stop, he frowned, picked up the shocking wood and slapped it fiercely.

"Silence!"

When he beat it, everyone didn't dare to speak, and the onlookers didn't dare to talk about it.

The city lord Xu Tianjiao stretched out his hand and pointed at the accuser and scolded angrily: "You ugly and weird garbage goods, you actually came to the official to complain, and defiled the official's eyes, it is really a heinous crime and unforgivable." I think you're so ugly, I'm sure you're not a good person. Because a person who looks good will definitely behave very well. The officer concluded that this was a false accusation.

Come on, drag this ugly monster down and beat him with dozens of sticks, and then put him in a cell for a year and a half. If this person is not severely punished, it is really difficult for this official to be angry. ”

"And that who's who." Xu Tianjiao pointed at the defendant and said: "The person I'm talking about is you, you also hurry up and get out of here, get out, get away from the official, the official doesn't want to see you again." A group of mixed protein idiots and ugly monsters dare to alarm their own officials? It's disgusting. If I were you, I would have hanged myself a long time ago. ”

When the officials heard the command, they did not say much, but dragged the accuser down and beat him with heavy sticks.

As for the accused, as if he had been pardoned, he stood up and rushed outward, for fear that the lord of the city would repent.

The accuser shouted, "The adults are wronged, the adults are wronged." ”

Xu Tianjiao was bored when she heard this, and shouted at the officer: "Drag him away for the official to beat, the official doesn't want to hear this ugly voice anymore." If he dares to shout a word of injustice, then add ten more sticks. Until they are killed. ”

The onlookers shook their heads and sighed: "That guy really killed himself, knowing that the city lord hates ugly people the most, he still came to die." It's just a matter of sending him to death, and he even made a false accusation. Hey, you can't live if you do your own evil. ”

Wang Mang opened his mouth, a little unsure of what to say, and his mind was in chaos. Because there are even more ugly people among those who say that others are ugly, and it is almost unbearable to look at them directly.

"Xianggong, Xianggong, look at this...."Wang Jingyan and the two daughters were also shocked by Xu Tianjiao's way of trying the case, their eyes were wide open, they didn't have time to seduce Wang Mang, and their thoughts were completely messy.

The lord of a city is in charge of one side, and this city lord is still like the emperor of the soil, no one can control it. Such a city lord actually insulted the accuser and the defendant in front of many bystanders in the public court, and the trial was like a child's play. Both women were stunned, as if they had seen aliens, and their faces were incredulous.

Wang Mang pondered and said, "Perhaps, maybe that person is really falsely accused." All in all, this city lord must be extraordinary, and there must be means that we can hardly imagine. Don't you see that those ordinary people don't plead for the accuser? It seems that this should be a false accusation. ”

"Is that so?" Shangguan Ningxuan asked.

"That's how it should be." Wang Mang is a little unconfident.

He secretly thought that if there was such a wonderful city lord under his command, then sooner or later he would be angry with this city lord.

After the first case was tried, the city lord Xu Tianjiao took a sip of tea and came to try the second case.

At this moment, there are also two people who are pressed up for trial, and they are women.

One of these two women is very outstanding, upright and backward, and is a stunner, named Li Jiao. The other is ordinary and ordinary, with no big features, named Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng said: "Lord Qiyu City Lord, Li Jiao often seduces my father-in-law by relying on her own appearance, trying to make my father-in-law embarrassed in front of everyone. My family is honest and honest, and I don't dare to mess around. Li Jiao saw that she couldn't be seduced, and she felt that her face was insulted, so she found someone to beat my father-in-law, and implored the adults to call the shots and ask for an explanation for the people's women..."

The defendant's woman, Li Jiao, retorted: "False accusations are purely false accusations. How could Miss Ben seduce your father-in-law? Tell me what your father-in-law has? Is it outstanding or talented? Or is it a wealth of money and power all over the world? Since he has nothing, what am I seducing him for? You are simply jealous of my appearance, so you come to make false accusations. ”

Wang Mang became interested and set his sights on the city lord to see how this person would be tried.

Wang Mang still remembers the first case just now, the city lord hates being ugly and prefers to be beautiful.

After the city lord listened to the words of the two girls, he set his eyes on Li Jiao, his eyes shining, "Your eyebrows are compact, it can be seen that you are still a virgin." And you look very good, the official likes it very much. ”

The woman was overjoyed and said: "Thank you for the praise, the folk girl implores the lord to administer justice for me and punish Zhang Feng." ”

The city lord shook his head and said: "Since ancient times, there have been both red faces and bad waters, femme fatales, and even more disasters to the country and the people. No matter how you say this, the meaning is obvious, women who are outstanding will not have any good intentions, they are very vicious. It can be seen from this that Zhang Feng is definitely not a false accusation, you must be a femme fatale and often harm people.

The official just said that you look very good, and the official likes it very much. Now the official gives you a choice, if you are willing to sleep with the official for one night and serve the official well, the official will exempt you from punishment and only imprison you for one year. If you don't want to, then the official will follow the regulations, first fine you ten or twenty boards, and then lock you up, you make a choice. ”
