On June 27, the government of Xiangyang County opened its door.

On this day, Pang Tong will be arraigned.

Liu Xiupang, a mountain min, Pang Lin, left the house in a carriage early and went to the county government in the northwest.

Along the way, the people were discussing the matter of Pang Tong.

Pang Shanmin sat in the carriage and could hear the discussion of the people on the roadside intermittently.

He showed a worried look on his face, and said: "Master Xiu, the people of Xiangyang City know that today is the day of interrogation of Shi Yuan, this must be the news spread by the Ma family, deliberately letting the people gather in the county office, increasing the pressure on the Yi nationality, so that the Yi nationality cannot be biased towards Shi Yuan." ”

Pang Lin also said: "There are too many people, and the situation is not easy to control." ”

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Everything that should be prepared has been prepared, you can relax, I will definitely save Shi Yuan's life today." ”

As he spoke, Liu Xiu lifted the curtain of the carriage, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

"If the people of the Ma family don't secretly incite the people, I will also incite the people to watch. ”

"Because it was calculated that the Ma family would make a move, so they didn't make a move. ”

"All this, on the contrary, is the most favorable situation for Shiyuan. ”

Liu Xiu's eyes were confident and calm.

When the people hate Pang Tong, it is very unfavorable to Pang Tong. Once the people begin to sympathize with Pang Tong and the situation reverses, the situation will immediately change dramatically, which will be even more beneficial to Pang Tong.

Pang Shanmin and Pang Lin listened to Liu Xiu's words, and they were still inevitably worried in their hearts.

Liu Xiu sat quietly, emptying his thoughts.

When Pang Tong is arraigned, Liu Xiu will inevitably face the people of the Ma family, and now he has to adjust his state.

When the carriage arrived at the county office, the inside and outside of the county office were already full of people.

These people have come to watch and interrogate.

The arrival of Liu Xiu, Pang Shanmin and Pang Tong caused a sensation.

Many people know Liu Xiu.

"See? ”

"Master Xiu is the third son of Lord Zhoumu, and he is very powerful. This year's drought and the lack of water in the fields were solved. ”

"I thought that Master Xiu was at least in his twenties, but I didn't expect to be so young. ”

"The person next to Gongzi Xiu is a member of the Pang family, and it seems that Gongzi Xiu is on the position of the Pang family. ”

"Master Xiu is a disciple of Pang Degong, so he naturally stands in the Pang family. It's just that I don't know how Master Xiu will respond. ”

One by one, the people kept talking.

Without exception, the people have taken the initiative to give way to a road.

Liu Xiu smiled and thanked him, and took Pang Shanmin and Pang Lin in.

Inside the gate of the mansion, the people of the Ma family had already arrived. Ma Qi Ma Fang and Ma Liang are all standing in the palace. Seeing the people of the Pang family, Ma Qi's eyes froze, because he didn't see Pang Degong.

In March's opinion, on an occasion like today, Pang Degong must be present, but Pang Degong is not there.

Ma Fang stared at Liu Xiu and his party, his eyes were indifferent, and he said angrily: "Killing people pays for life, today, Pang Tong will definitely die." No matter how the Pang family argues, they can't get rid of this result. ”

Liu Xiu was neither humble nor arrogant: "Under Liu Xiu, I don't know who Your Excellency is?"

Ma Fang said: "The old man Ma Fang is Ma Yin's father. ”

Liu Xiu arched his hand and said: "Under Liu Xiu, I have seen the old gentleman." ”

When Ma Fang heard that it was Liu Xiu, thinking that Liu Xiu actually helped Pang Tong, his heart was even more angry, but Liu Xiu was Liu Biao's son after all, and he politely arched his hand and said: "Gongzi Xiu is polite, I interrogated Pang Tong today, I don't know what identity Gongzi Xiu is?"

Questioning his identity means that Liu Xiu should not appear.

Liu Xiu is the son of Liu Biao, and in some cases, it represents Liu Biao.

Liu Xiu's expression remained unchanged, and he replied calmly: "Today, the kid is only a disciple of the teacher, half of the Pang family, and even more so the junior disciple of Pang Tong. Can the old gentleman understand that?"

Ma Fang said with contempt: "Being in cahoots with the Pang family is not a good bird." ”

Liu Xiu said: "The old gentleman was wrong, Pang Tong accidentally smashed Ma Yin to death, and the Pang family is very sorry for this matter." But Pang Tong's failure does not mean that the Pang family is bad, nor can it deny Pang Tong's personality. It can only be said that Ma Yin is unlucky, and even more damned. ”

Ma Fang glared angrily and said angrily, "What did you say?"

Liu Xiu smiled and said in a low voice: "Looking at the old gentleman's age, he should be about fifty years old." At this age, you should be deaf and clear, but you can't hear clearly, you should be overly sad. Alas, the old gentleman does not need to be sad, and the death of his son may be a good thing. ”

"You, you, you ......"

Ma Fang clenched his fists and was about to smash at Liu Xiu.

Ma Qi hurriedly stopped, stared at Liu Xiu, and said, "Master Xiu is doing this, is he planning to be hostile to the Ma family?"

Liu Xiu said, "Who are you?"

March replied, "Old man March, the patriarch of the Ma clan. ”

Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "Patriarch Ma is polite!"

After a pause, Liu Xiu said again: "Previously, the Pang family sought reconciliation, but the Ma family refused to reconcile. Now to Bo Gongtang, you said that the Ma family insists on going against the Pang family, can you blame the Pang family?"

"As for the kid, he has no intention of going against the Ma family. ”

"What the kid represents now is only the position of the Pang family, just to find justice for Pang Tong. ”

"The horse patriarch saw Pang Tong smash the horse seal to death, but do you know the horse seal?"

Liu Xiu's eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "Who is a good person and who is a bad person is not easy to determine. It is not worth it for the patriarch of the horse to take the Ma family for the sake of a horse seal. As for the development of the Pang family and the Ma family, the Pang family has never been afraid. ”

Ma Liang took over and said, "Master Xiu, let's talk about it in court." ”

Liu Xiu's words were sharp, and Ma Liang hurriedly stopped him.

Continuing to argue is not beneficial to the Ma family, Ma Liang did not plan to argue with Liu Xiu, everything is based on arraignment.

Liu Xiu smiled slightly and said, "Ma's five constants, white eyebrows are the best." It is expected that Your Excellency is Ma Liang Ma Ji Chang. When I saw it today, I had an extraordinary bearing. Being able to get to know Brother Ji Chang can be regarded as fate. ”

Ma Liang said: "It's a pity that the occasion to meet is not right. ”

Liu Xiu chuckled and said: "As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, sometimes you are not friends at first, but you can become confidants in the end." ”

Ma Liang was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Liu Xiu to say this.

"I-sama has arrived!"

Suddenly, a loud voice sounded in the lobby of the county office.

In an instant, I saw the mighty and majestic officials, who entered from both sides of the hall and stood in the county office.

One by one, they stood solemnly, their eyes sharp.

The atmosphere of the county government became solemn.

Dressed in official uniforms and wearing a crown on his head, Yi Ji strode to the public hall and sat down. He glanced around, picked up the startling wood, and snapped it down.

"Smack!"

There was a loud bang, and Yi Yuan shouted: "The hall is silent!"

In an instant, the noisy people at the gate of the county government were all quiet, quietly waiting for the Yi to interrogate Pang Tong.

Yi ordered: "Take the prisoners." ”

The words fell, and the officials of the county government escorted Pang Tong into the lobby.

Pang Tong has a ruddy complexion, bright eyes, and a good complexion, from this point of view, Pang Tong was not abused in prison, and his life was very nourishing.

Yi Yuan spread out a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, glanced at it, and said in a deep voice: "Pang Tong, Ma Fang sued you for killing his son Ma Yin, do you plead guilty to this matter?"

"No confession!"

Pang Tong held his head high and spoke loudly.

Liu Xiu stood at the door and did not interfere for the time being. This scene was already expected by him.

Pang Tong's answer was also explained by him in advance.

As soon as Ma Fang heard Pang Tong's words, he immediately rushed forward and said sadly: "Please make the decision for the dog, the dog was a** when he first came to Xiangyang, and he died a miserable death." Pang Tong will not die, and my son will not be blind when he dies. ”

Yi Yuan was shocked and shouted: "This official interrogated, I will give you justice, be quiet." ”

Ma Fang thanked him and stood aside.

Yi Yi's eyes were as sharp as knives, staring at Pang Tong, and said word by word: "Pang Tong, you have committed murder, the evidence of your crime is conclusive, do you want to deny it?"

Pang Tong replied: "My lord, sinners do not want to deny, but they do not want to be wronged. ”
