The summons said that Ling Xiaotian and his people would go to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow morning and confront the people of the Ma family. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoCorrespondingly, the Ma family also has the same such a summons, but for them, this is not a summons, and it may be more appropriate to describe it as an invitation ticket, at least that's what the people of the Ma family think.

After dinner, Yang Junguo left Ling Xiaotian alone and asked him what to do tomorrow.

"It's very simple," Ling Xiaotian said indifferently, "I'll just go alone tomorrow."

"How can it be done" Yang Junguo said: "This is obvious, the city lord is a timid and afraid person, and the captain of the city guard is also towards the Ma family, if you go alone, it must be reasonable to say that they can completely swear to put on the cloak of the law and leave you behind, so that we will be completely in a passive situation."

Ling Xiaotian smiled and said, "Mentor Yang, you also underestimate me too much, don't worry, I have already thought of countermeasures, whether it is someone from the Ma family or someone from the City Lord's Mansion, if you want to leave me behind, it's not that simple, I won't do anything with them, everything is reasonable, if you want to leave me, it's okay, come up with solid evidence"

"No, I'll go with you" Yang Junguo waved his hand and said: "I'm really not at ease if you go alone, one more person has more strength, we can't let them overwhelm us in momentum."

……

Ma Mansion, Ma Haibo closed the account book, and said with satisfaction: "Good job, you should be able to do a good job of Dejiang tomorrow night, you will be responsible for going to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow, I will not come forward, lest people say that we are bullying the small, since the previous things have been arranged, then we must not let the injured people feel better."

"I know" Ma Dejiang said with a sinister smile: "Fight with us, their strength is still too weak, and I also sent someone over to the city lord's side, I believe he will speak to our side."

"That's good"

……

Early the next morning, Ling Xiaotian and Yang Junguo went to the City Lord's Mansion, but he really couldn't resist Yang Junguo, so he asked him to accompany him. The City Lord's Mansion is not as "lively" as before, after all, today is the second day of the New Year.

Ling Xiaotian strode into the reception room of the City Lord's Mansion, not the communication room. Ma Dejiang was already sitting in this reception room, and with him was the big housekeeper Ma Ming.

The enemy's eyes were very red when they met, Ma Dejiang didn't give Ling Xiaotian a good face, and Ling Xiaotian didn't look at him at all. The chubby man sitting in the middle was the city lord Exde, with a smile on his face, which vividly interpreted the personality of his smiling tiger.

Standing next to Eckers was Li Fuqiang, along with two other members of the City Guard.

"You're Ling Xiaotian, right?" Exd asked.

"It's me," Ling Xiaotian nodded without humility or arrogance.

Exde smiled and said: "Since both parties are present, let's start The reason why I chose to talk about the next thing in the reception room today is because you both have their own opinions, as I am concerned, I can't determine who is right and who is wrong for a while, so this is not a summons, but an inquiry"

Ma Dejiang didn't say that he had one, which meant that before Ling Xiaotian and the others came here, the two of them had already confessed to each other, otherwise it would be strange if he could bear it.

The reason why Ma Dejiang agreed to do this is because he also understands that no matter how arrogant a person is, sometimes he has to flaunt democracy, and as a nobleman, he can still show such generosity in the face of "conclusive" evidence, and it is good for the reputation of the Ma family to spread it.

"Ling Xiaotian, I have the confessions of two people here, do you have any objections to this?" After the city lord finished speaking, one of Liu Fuqiang's subordinates took the "testimony" of the boss and his associates of Guyue Tower and sent it to Ling Xiaotian.

Ling Xiaotian smiled while looking at it, and said: "These two things are simply made out of nothing, saying that I provoked first, I did it first, and seriously injured Ma Yaoming, and then absconded in fear of crime?" Hehe, let's not talk about anything else, let's just say that this last one is afraid of crime and absconding, do I call it escape, I left very calmly, that law stipulates that after the fight, the person concerned must stand on the spot and wait for the arrival of the city guards? Besides, in my opinion, I am the victim party, I shot completely out of self-defense, Ma Yaoming's strength is not my opponent, should I let him?"

"You fart, the evidence is indeed in front of you, not only do you not admit your guilt, but you are also making a lot of nonsense here" Ma Dejiang pointed to Ling Xiaotian's nose and said: "I advise you to tell the truth, so that you can also give you a chance to turn yourself in"

"Shut up" Ling Xiaotian also pointed at Ma Dejiang and said tit-for-tat: "The surname is Ma, do you have a part in speaking here?" You think you're a nobleman, and you have a part in speaking wherever you go, right? The lord of the castle is in charge here, and you and I only have the right to answer the lord's questions regardless of who is the defendant or who is the plaintiff, so I don't need to teach you this rule, right? I really don't know how you, a nobleman, do it."

Ma Dejiang made a big red face, Ma Ming was just a housekeeper, so he naturally didn't have to worry about his identity, so he opened his mouth and scolded: "Little rabbit cub, you ...... Syllable...... Oops...... Poof......"

As soon as Ma Ming started to scold, Yang Junguo gave him a slap, the force of this slap was too great, Ma Ming fell out directly, opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood, with three teeth inside.

"You...... The guy who actually started beating me?" Ma Dejiang said angrily.

"Why not?" Ling Xiaotian stood up, saluted the city lord, and said: "I still say the same thing, the master here is the city lord, not you or me, you and I don't have the right to speak, and your subordinates don't have it, but what about him, he actually despises the majesty of the city lord, of course, it is because of the power of your Ma family that he has such a dog guts, your people can open their mouths to scold, my people can naturally do more excessively, you must know that your people are unruly first."

Ling Xiaotian deliberately lifted the city lord out, as if he was doing everything to protect his face, the city lord didn't say anything on his face, but he was very happy in his heart, who doesn't like to be lifted up

"This, no matter what, it's not right to beat someone," the city lord spoke to Ling Xiaotian in a polite tone.

Ling Xiaotian shook his head and said, "Shouldn't an ordinary person be taught a lesson if he opens his mouth to insult a nobleman?"

"What, you're also a nobleman?" Ma Dejiang looked at Ling Xiaotian with some disbelieving.

Ling Xiaotian sneered and said, "Do you think that the nobles of the whole empire are only your family surnamed Ma, although my father's title is not as high as yours, but as the only heir of the Ling family, I was born to be a legal nobleman of the empire, what is your subordinate, is he also a nobleman, is it wrong for me to teach him?"

Ma Dejiang gritted his teeth and sat down again, regretting in his heart why he hadn't found out Ling Xiaotian's true identity before? In fact, even if he thought of this, he couldn't find out anything, Ling Xiaotian's information was only recorded by Amethyst Academy, even if he had the ability to reach the sky, he didn't want to inquire about what he wanted to know from the academy.

However, Ling Xiaotian's words made Ma Dejiang feel a lot more relieved, since the Ling family's title is not as high as my Ma family's, I can recklessly rectify your kid

Ma Ming got up from the ground, his face was swollen, he originally thought that Ma Dejiang could help him get back to the field, but he didn't expect this slap to be in vain, woo, that's three teeth, and the other teeth in his mouth seem to be more or less loose.

The city lord looked at Ma Dejiang with a smile and said, "I think it's okay to forget what happened just now, Steward Ma doesn't know that Ling Xiaotian is also from a noble background, and he has also been punished, let's get down to business."

What could Ma Dejiang say, he could only glare at Ling Xiaotian fiercely.

Ling Xiaotian gave Yang Junguo a grateful look, which was very sure of his previous actions.

"Ling Xiaotian, why do you say that confession was made out of nothing?" The city lord asked.

Ling Xiaotian put down the two pieces of paper and said, "As far as I know, there was a completely different confession from this one before, why is the previous one missing and replaced with the current one?" This case has not been tried in public at all, why would the boss and men of Guyue Tower retract their confessions at this time, don't you think it's strange to Lord City?"

The city lord thought to himself, why don't I know, I have already seen it, but the surname Ma is a tyrant here, and I can't offend them, if it weren't for knowing that they were bullying people and buying off the previous witnesses to commit perjury, I would have done it to you Ling Xiaotian a long time ago, and I could still be so polite to you?

Ma Dejiang said in a deep voice: "City Lord, don't listen to this kid's nonsense As far as I know, the two witnesses took the initiative to retract their confessions because of their conscience, and Captain Li Fuqiang and Li know this matter very well."

"City Lord, I don't think the most important thing now is to ask me" Ling Xiaotian said loudly: "The reason why this matter has become so complicated is because of this fickle confession, I think the most important thing at the moment is to figure out which one is true, figure this out, and the whole thing will surface."

"I don't think there's any need to check again" Ma Dejiang said-for-tat: "It's also very easy to prove the truth of the confession, call the boss and the guys of Guyue Lou over, and you won't know when you face the confront, since they have the courage to retract the confession, when I want to confront them, they will also tell the truth."

……

Where is the city lord trying the case, it is obviously Ling Xiaotian and Ma Dejiang's verbal war, and the city lord has become a "loyal" listener.

“…… This one...... Listen to me, you two, ......" The city lord finally had a chance to interject, and said: "What about the two of you, what you said has a certain truth, and the city lord does not want to have any doubts and unjust cases under his own rule, so next, I will investigate this matter in depth, you can go back first, wait for my notice"

"Thank you, City Lord," Ling Xiaotian saluted.

Ma Dejiang shouted: "How can this be, he is a murderer, and the murderer should be punished as he deserves, how can you make such a decision, city lord?"

"The city lord's decision is really wise, I'll retire first" Ling Xiaotian finished with a smile, and began to walk out, and when he walked to the door, he didn't forget to say to Ma Dejiang: "Count Ma, goodbye, you stay here alone, if you think it's fun here"
