Seeing Chang Si and his wife confessing their sins on the spot, everyone applauded and applauded.

"Your Excellency is wise! You have found out all the details of this kind of accumulated case within two days of taking office, and you have done a good job! More than a dozen respected old men also came over to greet Xiao Zheng.

When the crowd quieted down, Xiao Zheng said to Ye Tianlin: "From today onwards, you, Mr. Ye, will be free again, and there is another matter."

He took the box from the samurai and opened it to reveal a box full of copper coins.

When people were puzzled, Xiao Zheng said to the people present: "You have been innocently imprisoned for more than two years, and this money is used to compensate you for the loss of property during your detention, a total of 100 yuan. This is my compensation to you on behalf of the court, and you must accept it. In addition, we will also post an official document in the pharmacy where you were originally sealed, explaining that you have been wronged, and you will continue to operate the pharmacy in the future."

After speaking, Xiao Zheng bowed deeply to Ye's mother and son and said: "Your mother and son must accept this gift no matter what, this is my apology on behalf of the court for the unjust imprisonment suffered by your mother and son."

"The grace of the adult, the villain will not forget it, thank you, my lord! Ah......" Ye Tianlin's seven-foot man knelt on the ground and cried so much that his face was covered with dust, which was moving to watch.

After appeasing the mother and son, Xiao Zheng said to Chang Si and his wife who were kneeling on the ground: "Chang Si, you stole the property of the master's family in the front, and you missed and injured people without regard for giving away the lives of others, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, I sentenced you to five years in prison, and it is not an exaggeration to flow 2,000 miles, right?" Your wife knows that you have stolen people's property and concealed it and did not report it, this crime of hiding is already a fact, and sixty miles of rod is already a light sentence, and you two can be convicted."

Chang Si and his wife had already collapsed on the ground, unable to speak.

After a while, he turned to the husband and wife and said: "But you are the only son in the family, you do have two young sons to be fed, and your old mother is also over the age of old, how I judge you today I have to see the opinions of the two bitter masters."

"The adult's method of judging the case is amazing, and the woman also knows that the adult is kind, my husband often says that harmony makes money, although there is theft in my house, but the stolen thing is just ice, not valuable, the woman just doesn't let him enter my house in the future, and I won't pursue other things."

Xiao Zheng arched his hand to the mother of the Zhu family and said: "It's rare that the eldest lady of the Zhu family is so open-minded, and this official admires it."

At this time, the shopkeeper of the porcelain shop Liu also came over, pointed at Chang Si angrily and said: "My son was not killed by you, but died because of you."

Shopkeeper Liu stood on the ground, closed his eyes, looked up to the sky, and tears flowed down the corners of his eyes.

Then he stayed for a while, opened his eyes and said to Xiao Zheng: "My lord, the villain's family has a little surplus wealth and has three sons, the eldest and the third are still considered to be successful, but these two sons are rampant in the neighborhood all day long, although it is not said to be a disaster in the township, but it is also a bad reputation." Since God has taken him in, although the villain feels uncomfortable, but two or three years have passed since this incident, and his heart has faded. My son died because of Chang Si stealing ice, and Mr. Ye, a famous gentleman in Yangzhou, was imprisoned because of my son's injustice, and the villain didn't want to avenge it."

After listening to Shopkeeper Liu's words, Xiao Zheng said to Chang Si: "It's good for you, but how should you sentence your sins, how will I sentence them." I will give you three years of performance time, during which you can no longer gamble, and you must select three lonely elderly people from near your home to take care of them, and your every move will be supervised by these elders, and if you commit it again within three years, I will kill you and the two sins will be one, if you do not recommit it within three years, and behave well, your punishment will be canceled after the signature of these elders, are you willing? ”。

"Thank you, my lord, the villain is willing!" After hearing this, Chang Si and his wife also knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

After dealing with Ye Tianlin's matter, Xiao Zheng said to the remaining dozen or so prisoners: "If there is anyone else who thinks that his case is wronged, he can tell him now."

"My lord, the villain Huang Erzhu, just because the cow in his family died of illness last year, he was arrested and sentenced to one year in prison by Lord Dou, and the villain refused to accept it."

At this time, an old man on the side said: "My lord, the cow in Huang Erzhu's family was indeed sick and died, and the villain can prove that he was so distressed that he almost hanged himself at that time, and the villain persuaded him."

"According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, if the cow really dies of illness, it is enough to pay a fine after the inquest, and there is no need to be imprisoned," Xu Jingzong whispered to Xiao Zheng on the side.

"How many months have you been locked up?".

"Back to my lord, it's been ten months since I locked up the small one," Huang Erzhu said.

"Give you ten dollars, go back and buy two cows, ask for a male and a female, give birth to a calf next year, get out of here!".

"Lord Xie" Huang Erzhu didn't expect to earn two cows after being locked up for ten months, so he kowtowed and happily went to get the money.

"I have also read the files of the rest of these people, the longest sentence is only two years, and the rest will start tomorrow, each person will clean my street with a broom and a shovel, how many days will the sentence be missing, and the food will be full, Li Tong will take someone to supervise, if anyone dares to run away and blame the ruthlessness of the official, whether you are willing to squat in prison or willing to work, you choose."

"My lord, let's go to work", only a fool would want to stay in prison.

"Everyone, since it's all right, let's disperse."

The arranger sent away all the people in Ye Tianlin's case, and when he was about to let go of these light prisoners to work, a voice came from nowhere.

"You are a good official, much better than those dog officials," at this time, a man standing next to him said to Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng had already paid attention to this guy when he was handling the case, he obviously had a murderous aura when he stood at that time, in addition to the heavy handcuffs on his hands and feet, he also carried a wooden flail weighing dozens of catties on his shoulders, so he still stood straight.

"Who are you?" Xiao Zheng asked.

"Be careful, my lord, this person is a famous bandit leader in Dongting Lake called Zheng Xuanli, he is strong in martial arts, he was the guard officer of the former Sui Emperor Yang Guang, this person is also a rebel general, we went to Dongting Lake to encircle and suppress him many times, and we only caught him last year."

"Since your martial arts are strong, how can you catch him, are you stronger than him in martial arts?"

Li Tong blushed and said: "Last year, Don't drive Dou Yun to learn that he came to Yangzhou to visit his wife, we used his mother as bait to lure him to the bait before we caught him."

"Bah, you still have the face to say" The man watched Li Tong rush forward and tripped over the iron chain under his feet and fell to the ground, just like that, he still glared at Li Tong and the others like a lion.

"Did he kill someone? Did you rob your house? ”。

"This ....., the villain didn't find out that they had such a crime, but he is a former Sui rebel general," Li Tong arched his hand and said.

"The Tang Dynasty has been established for more than ten years, just because he is Yang Guang's guard, you will take him as a crime of rebellion? Then let me tell you, the emperor has also been an official of the Sui Dynasty, and the current saint has also been an official of the Sui Dynasty, and now there are six adults in the court who have been officials of the Sui Dynasty, are they all anti-thieves? Xiao Zheng asked Li Tong.

"The lower officials don't dare!" Li Tong was so frightened that cold sweat broke out.

"What are you doing in a daze, let go!"

"No!".

It took half an hour for the servants to remove the shackles on Zheng Xuanli's body.

Zheng Xuanli livened his hands and feet, arched his hand at Xiao Zheng and said, "Thank you, my lord, I still want to ask the adult for a favor."

"Say!"

"The villain just wants to ask the adults to take my mother out of Yangzhou City with me, and never hurt the adults in the future."

Xiao Zheng understood as soon as he heard it, he wanted to take himself as a hostage and escape with his mother.

"Bold fanatic, my family just released you, but you ......."

Before Li finished speaking, he was kicked nearly a foot away by Zheng Xuanli, and he fell to the ground and fainted.

"Lao Tzu's kick is for my mother, let you hold the knife on my mother's neck."

After speaking, Zheng Xuanli rushed forward, rushed towards Xiao Zheng and shouted: "If you don't move, I promise in the name of my mother that I will never hurt a good official like you, Lord Xiao."

Several officials rushed over to protect Xiao Zheng, but they were beaten out by him as soon as they arrived at Zheng Xuanli's side.

In a moment, Zheng Xuanli arrived in front of Xiao Zheng.
