After several days of intensive and thorough investigation of the Shangma Village case by the Yamen of the Fujian Xingdu Division, Feng Yong had a notice posted on the street to prepare for a public trial of the case in the Yamen Hall of the Fujian Xingdu Division, and the people were allowed to come to hear the trial at that time.

After learning the news, the entire Jianning Mansion was boiling, not only because the Shangma Village case was very big in Jianning Mansion, which can be described as a storm in the city, but more importantly, it is rumored that King Zhongwu will also be present at the scene for the trial.

Therefore, this attracted a large number of people to come to Jianning City to come to hear the trial, and most of them came for Li Yuntian, wanting to know what the legendary Zhongwu King looked like.

Feng Yong and Liu Min'an had already expected that this court trial would attract a large number of civilians, so they had already made preparations to mobilize a large number of soldiers and messengers to maintain order.

Almost all the villagers of Shangma Village came to Jianning City because they were witnesses, and they were both excited and anxious waiting for the opening of the court, if it weren't for this case, they wouldn't have had the opportunity to enter the heavily guarded Dusi Yamen, let alone face the case that Feng Yong personally presided over, not to mention that Li Yuntian was also listening.

On the day of the public trial, there was a sea of people in front of the Yamen of the Fujian Xingdu Division, densely packed with people who had come to see the excitement, which made the soldiers and errands responsible for maintaining order sweating profusely and shouting in the crowd from time to time.

As soon as the time came, the closed gate of the Yamen of the Fujian Xingdu Division slowly opened, and a group of soldiers poured out from inside, putting the people in front of the queue into the courtyard.

When the courtyard was full of people who were being heard, the soldiers at the gate of the backyard lined up in three rows at the door, and no one was allowed to enter, and the rest of the people could only stay outside the door, so that the people in the front row who were stopped by the soldiers were beating their chests and stunning, and they were very annoyed, and they were just a little short of able to enter the courtyard to hear the trial.

In the backyard of the lobby, Feng Yong, Liu Min'an, the prefect of Jianning Prefecture, and Song Min, the commander of the Fujian Xingdu Division, and Song Min, the commander of the Fujian Xingdu Division, sat in the living room with solemn expressions and listened to Li Yuntian's instructions.

In order to warn the civil and military officials in Jianning City, Li Yuntian summoned officials above the Fujian Xingdu Division and the Jianning Prefecture Ya Wupin, who came to hear the case, which made the situation at the scene a little tense and depressing.

Obviously, the bigger the battle Li Yuntian put forward, the more severe the consequences of the situation, and it is obvious that the case of Shangma Village is a negative example, and the tragic fate of those involved in the case has already been decided.

"Lord Wang, the time for the trial has come." A military attache who lectured on martial arts walked in the door and bowed his hand to Li Yuntian in a deep voice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, come with this king to the trial." Hearing this, Li Yuntian stood up and said to Feng Yong, Liu Minan and the others present.

Seeing this, Feng Yong, Liu Minan and others hurriedly got up, bowed down and sent Li Yuntian out, according to the rules of officialdom, Li Yuntian naturally walked in front.

"Lord Feng, don't worry about this king when you try the case later, you can try it how you want." When passing by Feng Yong's side, Li Yuntian stopped and quietly admonished.

"Humble duty, remember the teachings of the prince!" Feng Yong hurriedly bowed down when he heard this, and replied respectfully, although he has experienced countless winds and waves, he is still a little apprehensive in the face of today's court trial, after all, the Shangma Village case is the largest case handled by the Fujian Xingdu Division since its establishment, and there is also Li Yuntian supervising the trial on the side, so the psychological pressure can be imagined.

Li Yuntian bowed slightly, then walked out of the room quickly, and walked towards the front yard lobby surrounded by everyone.

When Li Yuntian and his party entered the hall through the side door on the side of the hall, the people who had gathered outside the hall and were buzzing and talking gradually quieted down.

People stretched out their heads and looked at Li Yuntian in surprise, they thought that Li Yuntian, who had achieved great achievements, should be a middle-aged man who was nearly half a hundred years old, but no one thought that Li Yuntian would be so young, like an elegant scholar.

Li Yuntian's seat was on the right side of the hall, a carved wooden Taishi chair covered with soft cushions, and the rest of the hearing officials sat on round stools, which were arranged on the left and right sides of the hall.

"Ascension! Bring someone to commit it! After Li Yuntian sat down on the Taishi chair, Feng Yong and the others sat in their seats one after another, Feng Yong bowed to Li Yuntian and asked whether to start the trial, Li Yuntian bowed slightly when he saw this, so he picked up the shocking wood and patted it, and shouted in a deep voice.

"Knock on your lords." Soon, under the gaze of everyone, a group of people were brought to the hall, kneeling down on the left and right sides to salute Li Yuntian and Feng Yong and others.

Among them, kneeling on the left are Yan Zhong and others in civilian clothes, while on the right are Zhao Laosan and others in prison clothes.

Although Zhao Laosan and the others had a lot of scars on their faces, the prison clothes on their bodies were clean and clean, and their complexions were also good.

Obviously, the people of the Dusi Yamen knew that Zhao Laosan and the others were wronged, and they would definitely be rehabilitated if Li Yuntian was in charge this time, so they didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing and leave, so they took good care of Zhao Laosan and his party who were beaten and scarred in the prison of Jianning's right guard yamen, and they didn't ask Zhao Laosan and others to remember their goodness, but only asked Zhao Laosan and others not to say bad things about them in the hall at that time.

Zhao Laosan and the others already knew that Li Yuntian had personally come to Jianning City to inquire about their case, and they were surprised and happy in their hearts, no matter what, they could not have imagined that the high-ranking Zhongwu King would deign to pay attention to this matter in his busy schedule.

Therefore, Zhao Laosan and the others knew that their grievances could be washed away, so their mental outlook naturally improved.

On the other hand, Yan Zhong's spirit looked a little sluggish, and he looked preoccupied, although he didn't suffer any grievances in the prison, but he had been completely cut off from the outside world, so he didn't know that Li Yuntian had come to Jianning City until now, but he felt that things were very weird.

However, after noticing that Yang Yu, who was expressionless, was sitting on a round stool on the side of the lobby, Yan Zhong's hanging heart finally let go, as long as Yang Yu was fine, he would definitely find a way to help him get out of trouble at that time.

Since he didn't know who the young man in the military uniform of the Martial Arts Hall was sitting on the eye-catching Taishi chair, Yan Zhong glanced at Li Yuntian curiously and lowered his head.

To be honest, Yan Zhong still didn't know what was going on, no matter what method he used to guard him, the jailer just wouldn't let him contact the outside world.

This is not only Feng Yong's special explanation, but more importantly, those jailers were shocked by Li Yuntian's prestige, in case they gave up to Yan Zhong to be accommodating, then once they were found out, they would be unlucky.

"This official asks you, which of you made the first move in Shangma Village that day? Why? Feng Yong glanced around at the people in the hall and asked quietly in a loud voice.

"Tell the adults, the villain went to Shangma Village to collect the accounts that day, but he didn't think that Zhao Laosan would not repay the debts, and instructed his clansmen to beat the villain, and asked the adults to call the shots for the villain." Hearing this, Yan Zhong hurriedly replied in a loud voice, kowtowing to Feng Yong in a proper manner.

"My lord, the notice of the imperial court said that if there is a debt, it can be returned in the future through the martial arts hall, but Yan Zhong asked the villain to take out the money to repay the debt immediately, otherwise he would rob the villain's daughter and daughter-in-law, and let his subordinates hurt the villain who was begging hard, the villain's son and the children of the clan were angry and couldn't come forward to theorize, as a result, they started beating first, and the villain's son and the children of the clan were at the time of their blood, so they couldn't help but fight with them."

At this time, Zhao Laosan raised his head and looked at Feng Yong with a sad and angry expression, "My lord, the villain's two clan nephews died in this conflict, and the villain is really speechless to face the patriarchs of the clan. ”

"Yan Zhong, is Zhao Laosan's words true?" Feng Yong frowned when he heard this, and warned in a deep voice, "This official reminds you that there is no blasphemy in the public court, and if you have untruthful words, this official will definitely punish you severely!" ”

Yan Zhong's face couldn't help but change when he heard this, he heard that Feng Yong's tone was a little unkind, so he subconsciously looked at Yang Yu sitting in the lobby, wanting to get some hints from Yang Yu.

"Answer your question honestly, although you are the brother-in-law of this official, if you violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty, then this official will definitely not show favoritism, and you will definitely be brought to justice!" Yang Yu looked at Yan Zhong expressionlessly, and put on a posture of righteous destruction.

Seeing this, Yan Zhong's mind suddenly went blank, and he could see that Yang Yu meant to draw a line with him, which meant that he would lose his biggest backer in this case.

Don't look at Yan Zhong's usual domineering and domineering, showing off his might, but once he loses Yang Yu's protection, he is nothing.

"Answering the official's words, is what Zhao Laosan said true?" Seeing that Yan Zhong was stunned there, Feng Yong slapped the shocked wood hard and shouted in a deep voice.

"This ......" Yan Zhong's face turned red, his expression was frightened, his mind was blank now, and he didn't know how to answer Feng Yong's question at all.

"Someone, bring a witness!" Feng Yong saw that Yan Zhong was stammering and couldn't speak, so he sneered and shouted at the guards in the hall.

In fact, Yan Zhong's fate had been determined since Li Yuntian arrived at Jianning Mansion, except for Yan Zhong, who was locked up in the prison and knew nothing, even the vegetable vendors on the street knew that Yan Zhong was going to suffer retribution this time.

"Knock on the prince and all the adults!" Soon after, a large group of villagers from Shangma Village poured into the lobby and knelt in front of the hall to salute Li Yuntian, Feng Yong and others, all of whom were eyewitnesses to the clash that day, and came to the lobby to testify.

"Wang ...... Rajah! Hearing this, Yan Zhong, who was confused in his mind, couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly raised his head to look at Li Yuntian who was sitting on the Taishi's chair, he knew all the officials of Jianning City at the scene, so only this young man was the "prince" in the mouth of those villagers in Shangma Village.

Although Yan Zhong was a little arrogant and greedy, his brain was not stupid, and he immediately realized that the young prince who appeared in front of him was the dignified Zhongwu King of Daming, the reason was very simple, those princes and county kings of the Daming clan were idle princes without official positions, and they usually couldn't leave the fief at all, let alone serve as an errand for the imperial court, so only Li Yuntian was the prince of Daming who held military and political power.

Moreover, Yan Zhong also knew why Li Yuntian came to Jianning City, obviously because he was in charge of Shangma Village, which made his heart sink immediately, and the whole person was as cold as falling into an ice cellar, and the whole person trembled involuntarily, and his face turned pale.

The villagers of Shangma Village testified one after another, proving that Yan Zhong not only robbed Zhao Laosan's daughter and daughter-in-law, but also instructed his guards to beat people.

Looking at the villagers of Shangma Village who were indignantly accusing him of his evil deeds, Yan Zhong's Adam's apple grunted, and then his body sat on the ground with a sluggish expression and a frightened face, he knew that he was completely finished this time, and it would be impossible to escape this catastrophe!
