At this moment, many officials in Yingchuan County and Cao Xing were waiting anxiously while rubbing outside, and after a while, the doctor finally came out, and everyone hurriedly surrounded him and asked the doctor how Zhou Yin's situation was now.

And the doctor also spit out a mouthful of turbidity, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry, the lower officials have already cleaned up for Lord Taishou, and Lord Taishou is out of danger of life, but it took too long when you sent it over, causing Lord Taishou to bleed too much, so Lord Taishou is still in a coma at the moment, and if you want to fully recover, I'm afraid you will have to wait a month!"

Hearing the doctor's words, many officials breathed a long sigh of relief, as long as Zhou Yin's life was saved, but many people showed a look of indignation on their faces, shouting loudly to bring this group of thugs who assassinated Taishou to justice.

Seeing that these people were getting more and more excited, Cao Xing walked up and asked them all to calm down, even if they wanted to judge that group of people, they had to get the order of Taishou, and they were not allowed to lynch themselves.

Three days later, Zhou Yin woke up slowly, and the first thing he did when he woke up was to ask Cao Xing to judge the group of people who assassinated him on his behalf, and he also had to listen.

Zhou Yin's body is very weak now, and it makes sense for him to want Cao Xing to try this case as soon as possible, after all, Cao Xing is the person who has personally experienced this matter and knows best, so it is very appropriate for Cao Xing to represent Zhou Yin to try the case.

It's just that what makes people a little incomprehensible is that Zhou Yin is seriously injured now, why don't he rest well? I just have to listen to it from the sidelines.

Many people suggested to Zhou Yin that he should rest in the room and leave the case to Cao Xing alone, but Zhou Yin waved his hand resolutely, looked at everyone and said.

"Since I Zhou Yin took office, I don't dare to say that it is to make Yingchuan County smooth and harvest every year, but everything I do and everything I say is absolutely for the country and the people, without the slightest selfishness, and I am also very sympathetic to the suffering of the people below, so I Zhou Yin asked myself if I have done anything sorry for the people, this time I want to ask those people, what did I Zhou Yin do wrong, why did they gather against me!"

When Zhou Yin said this, his emotions were getting more and more excited, and his face was already red, and Cao Xuan hurriedly went up to help Zhou Yin pat his back, so that Zhou Yin should not be excited, he could see that Zhou Yin wanted to regain his dignity, and he didn't want to suffer this injustice.

In the early morning of the same day, Cao Xing collected the casualties of the day, he looked at the list of casualties, among which seven officers and soldiers were killed and 13 were injured, as for the group of people who attacked Zhou Yin, there were 124 registrations, of which more than 50 were killed by the officers and soldiers, and as for the others, they were all captured.

And the scribes of Yingchuan County are also very meticulous, listing the names of those people one by one, looking at the names of these people, Cao Xuan couldn't help frowning, in fact, when he looked at the name of the first person, that is, the name of the young man who took the lead in assassinating Zhou Yin, he couldn't help frowning, he always felt that this name was a little familiar.

However, Cao Xuan didn't want to think about it so much now, and after thinking about it for a while, he openly ascended to the court.

The space in the hall is limited, and it is definitely not possible to bring up all the criminals, so Cao Xuan asked the people below to directly bring up the main criminals, and then just slapped the case hall and announced the promotion.

He looked at the young man below with burning eyes, as well as the rest of his accomplices, and rebuked loudly: "Gather a crowd to rebel in broad daylight, and assassinate Taishou, you can be convicted!" ”

As soon as Cao Xing's words were finished, most of the criminals kneeling below did not dare to speak, but the young man kneeling among them let out a sneer, this young man was the same Jianghu ranger who fought with Cao Xuan that day, at this moment he knelt on the ground with a shackle, but his expression was quite arrogant.

Seeing this, Cao Xuan couldn't help but squint his eyes and put all his attention on this young man.

"If I remember correctly, when you were subdued by me that day, you scolded the government for being unreasonable, listening to the meaning of your words, it seems to show that you have suffered a lot of unfair grievances, if this is the case, you can say that today we will handle the case impartially!"

Cao Xuan said this, firstly, he wanted to return the innocence of this young man, and secondly, this was the reason why Zhou Yin was listening on the sidelines, he wanted to see why this group of people turned against him.

Who knew that when this young man heard Cao Xing's words, the sneer on his face became even stronger: "You don't pretend to be there, the officials protect each other, even if I am really wronged, will you make the decision for me?" It's not for a showmanship here! ”

Unexpectedly, this young man is not only powerful in martial arts, but also has a very sharp mouth, Cao Xuan saw this, and wanted people to directly beat him with twenty boards, so that this young man could not speak well, but soon the young man snorted coldly again and said.

"Gather a crowd to rebel, assassinate too much, and be punished according to the law, I know this, but since I'm going to die, I'll tell you why I rebelled!"

I saw this young man glance at his companion and said: "A few days ago, the Yellow Turban Army attacked Yingchuan City, and at that time, some people there said that the officers and soldiers wanted to forcibly requisition food like us, which made us panic, but then you came out to refute the rumors and said that it was a thing that did not exist at all, so we don't have to worry!" ”

Hearing this, many people present couldn't help but nodded, this matter was still Zhou Yin personally walked out and said, there was indeed no problem, but soon the young man's tone became high, and he glared at Cao Xuan and said.

"What you say is better than what you sing, just the day before yesterday, as soon as you repelled the Yellow Turban Army, some officers and soldiers came to us to ask for food, saying that Lord Taishou had won the battle with you, and you should put on a big celebration banquet, so that every family would hand over all the surplus grain in their hands, and some people in our village would not obey, they would be collectively beaten by the officers and soldiers, and the food in the family was snatched up, from eighty old women to five-year-old children, all their rations were looted by you, and now they are still living a life of hunger!"

"You people don't want us to live anymore, do you think I want to go against you? I'm going to assassinate you! ”

Listening to the young man's loud words, Zhou Yin, who was sitting on the top of the position, was about to jump up, and Cao Xuan hurriedly asked Zhou Yin to calm him and let him not get excited, and then he stared at the young man below.

"Nonsense! I believe that with Zhou Yin's Taishou as a person, it is impossible to do anything to rob the people's food! ”

However, the young man snorted coldly and said no more. Obviously, he didn't believe what Cao Xing said at all.

Cao Xuan glanced at the young man, and then said: "Look at your appearance seems to be quite unconvinced, since this is the case, I will come to give you a good reason, I won the battle, Zhou Yin Taishou wants to invite me to a banquet, this is true, but I also dare to assure you that the things used by Zhou Yin Taishou to invite me are all from their Taishou Mansion, and absolutely no people's fat and people's ointment are used. You can take a good look at whether Zhou Taishou has given this order to forcibly requisition food from the people, if there is, I will make the decision for you, if not, you are slandering! ”

Cao Xing did things resolutely, and ordered his subordinates to do it in three or two, and after a while, someone took out Zhou Yin's approval from the Taishou Mansion in recent days and handed it directly to the young man.

The young man seemed to have read some books and could read them, and he read them all, but he was still a little unconvinced.

"What is in the approval document of this government is not up to you, but no matter what, it is an indisputable fact that your government has found our people and asked us to hand over all the surplus grain in our hands!"

Cao Xingyan nodded when he heard this: "Okay, in that case, I have now called the county order of your Changshe over, and you can confront him face to face!" ”

As soon as Cao Xing's words fell, someone brought the county order of Changshe up, and the county order of Changshe was really startled when he saw the situation in the hall, and hurriedly arched his hand tremblingly: "I don't know what the so-called matter is that the adults are looking for me!" ”

"It is said that you forcibly requisitioned food from the people, but there is such a thing!"

Listening to Cao Xing's questioning voice, the county commander of Changshe said tremblingly: "Yes, there is ......."

Cao Xing was immediately furious when he heard this, slapped the table again, and scolded sharply: "You still have the face to say yes, now I can tell you that it is precisely because you forcibly requisitioned the people's food that caused the people's resentment to boil, and finally led to the assassination of Taishou, if this matter is true, your county order will come to an end!" ”

When the Changshe County Commander heard this, he knelt directly on the ground as soon as his legs were weak, and said with a crying voice: "Great, my lord is wronged, I just acted according to the orders from above, and I also received your order to forcibly requisition the people's food, since it is a task issued by the above, I have to do it!" ”

The case has been tried to this extent, and many people are more and more confused the more they listen, the young man seems to be telling the truth, but looking at the appearance of this county magistrate, it doesn't seem to be a fake, and it seems to be a matter of being too guarded.

However, at this moment, there was a violent coughing sound, and I saw Zhou Yin forcibly get up despite everyone's opposition, and then looked at the people below and said word by word.

"I, Zhou Yin, once again use my reputation and my family to assure you that I have absolutely not given any orders to forcibly requisition food from the people, and all this is slandered by someone!"

Zhou Yin coughed violently twice, then looked at Cao Xing, and said: "General Cao, now my health is inconvenient, but please be impartial, this matter is to find out who is doing it, you must help me find out, I, Zhou Yin, will definitely bring him to justice!" ”
