The county magistrate always pays attention to the trial of the case, and when he saw the judge on the first day, he knew that things would not be too simple, so he immediately contacted Mu Jianan, so Xiao Junmo saw Mu Jianan with a cup of tea.

"Lord Wang, this case is handed over to the lower officials for trial, so that they can be regarded as finding the right person, and the lower officials dare to promise that they will definitely publish the truth to the public, and they will never be bribed or threatened by anyone."

Mu Jianan is also paying attention to this case, after all, it is about Zhao Tingshi's son, and he also knows a lot about the progress of the case from the county order.

Coupled with the information given by Xiao Junmo just now, he is now sure of nine out of ten and confident.

"Okay, this king will see your performance tomorrow."

Xiao Junmo is very satisfied, the county order is not exaggerated in the slightest, Mu Jianan is honest and fair, and most importantly, he is unyielding to any authority.

Otherwise, with his talent, he would not have been reused for so many years.

Everything was arranged, and on the second day, Zhao Tingshi still did not go to court.

He firmly believed that Xiao Junmo couldn't find anyone available, so he drank tea at home with peace of mind.

As a result, Xiao Junmo's entourage suddenly came to the house to invite him, saying that he was going to observe the case, Zhao Tingshi was anxious, who did Xiao Junmo find?

When he came to the public hall and saw Mu Jianan, who was sitting in the public hall with a glance and a solemn look, Zhao Tingshi's heart was half cold, how could it be him.

"Zhao Tingshi, this king has found someone to try the case, so you can listen to it with peace of mind." Xiao Junmo was full of smiles and sat upright with joy.

"Ascend to the court, take the prisoners." Mu Jianan's eyes were clear, completely ignoring the warning look thrown by Zhao Tingshi.

Zhao Xiaosan and Xiao Wu were taken to the court.

"You said that you killed Zhao Gongzi, and now, the process of your crime will be truthfully recruited, if what you said is not true, the official will reward you with a board."

Mu Jianan clapped the decision, looking at the little guy seriously, his eyes were blazing, and he was selfless.

"The adults spare their lives, and the little ones all say it, all say it."

The little guy was so frightened by Mu Jianan that he trembled, he was different from the previous judge, and the majesty and coldness on his body made people shudder.

"Although Zhao Gongzi once bullied me and made me make a fool of myself in public, I never thought of killing him, he is a practitioner, and I can't kill him if I find someone."

"The reason why the villain lied before was because ...... It was because of Zhao Tingshi, he promised to save my seriously ill mother, and I agreed to come down with a hot head. ”

"Later, Princess Jingnan was kind-hearted, no matter whether I told the truth or not, she was willing to save my mother, and the villain suddenly woke up and decided to tell the matter the next day."

"But Zhao Tingshi, he actually kidnapped my wife and children, brought them to me, and beat my son, the villain was worried about his son's life, so he had no choice but to continue to give false testimony."

"My lord, what the villain said is true, please call the shots!"

The little guy snorted and cried, so he was not miserable, and looked at Zhao Tingshi with resentment, in front of him, his son was beaten and his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he was cornered.

"What about you, Zhao Xiaosan, why did you want to kill Zhao Gongzi?" Mu Jianan turned his head and asked Zhao Xiaosan.

"Mu Jianan, this little guy is obviously lying, since he was threatened by his own official, why is he turning back today? I don't ask clearly, how did you judge the case, did King Jingnan invite you to come, did you make a fool of yourself? ”

Zhao Tingshi couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't say any more, otherwise, his official career would be ruined.

"Presumptuous, this official is judging the case, how can you interject, say more, disrupt the court, and serve the board."

Mu Jianan was not afraid of his call, slapped the board, and looked at him sternly.

Here are all Xiao Junmo's people, Zhao Tingshi had no idea for a while, and he didn't dare to act rashly, so he had to sit down first.

"Zhao Xiaosan, said." Mu Jianan's voice is like a bell.

"My lord, the grass people want to kill the dog thief, it has been planned for a long time, not only him, but also his father Zhao Tingshi, and the grass people also want to get rid of it together, every year, most of the silver and grain provided by the imperial court for disaster relief go into Zhao Tingshi's pocket."

"There are often starving bones on the roadside, Zhao Thorn Shi is so greedy for ink, and he also fishes and fleshes the people, and asks for taxes and silver every year, and the people are not happy, so it doesn't count, their family oppresses the people."

"His dog son, because a poor boy got in his way, the two of them were pulled under the feet of the horse to death, and a woman in a green building made him unhappy, and he directly boiled the woman to death......"

"My lord, these are enough for me to risk death and kill him hundreds of times, not only him, but also Zhao Tingshi, this dog official, if someone can't pay the tax and silver, he will beat people to death!"

"Forcibly kidnapping other people's women, raping and killing, such a beast, keeping it is a scourge......"

Zhao Xiaosan enumerated what Zhao Tingshi and his wasted son had done over the years.

Every time a case is mentioned, the hearts of the people present sink a little, Xiao Junmo, Chi Wanwan and others are sad and feel unfortunate for the people.

Zhao Tingshi was panicked and regretted that he couldn't find Zhao Xiaosan in time to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

"Someone, put Zhao Tingshi in prison." Mu Jianan immediately ordered.

"Little, you dare? Try it now, you will die without a place to be buried, Lord Wang, Zhao Xiaosan is talking nonsense, you don't believe his nonsense, the lower officials are dedicated to the people, these are all Zhao Xiaosan's rumors. ”

Zhao Tingshi saw that the general trend was gone, so he could only beg Xiao Junmo bitterly.

"But the evidence is conclusive, and besides, the person you sent to assassinate the king and his wife has also been arrested, haven't you gotten the news yet?" Xiao Junmo smiled.

The official quickly stepped forward and escorted Zhao Tingshi away, acting roughly, after all, they were also the oppressed people.

In the end, the little guy was acquitted, although Zhao Xiaosan was excusable, after all, he committed murder and committed the law, and he still suffered a year in prison.

The case is over, Zhao Gongzi did not redress his grievances, Zhao Tingshi was arrested, and this night, the people cheered.

In Xiao Junmo's mansion.

"I don't know what the prince has to do to find the lower official."

Mu Jianan was puzzled, the case had been dealt with, but in the evening, Xiao Junmo sent someone to let him come to the mansion quickly, could it be that something happened?

"Zhao Tingshi is corrupt, you have to report it to the imperial court, how can you do it without evidence?" Xiao Junmo pushed a bunch of ledgers and some letters in front of him.

"These are all evidence that the prince has worked hard to investigate." Mu Jianan had some excuses and asked him to report to the imperial court, which would rob Xiao Junmo of the credit.

"It's all for the people, and it doesn't matter." Xiao Junmo smiled indifferently, how could he ever care about this.

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Mu Jianan was grateful, knowing that this was Xiao Junmo's intention to promote himself, and finally, he was able to see the moon.

"It has to be the king of Jingnan, indifferent to fame and fortune."

Looking at Mu Jianan's distant back, Chi Wanwan sighed that ancient literati always had no talents, and laughed at Xiao Junmo's generosity.

"It is not good for this king to ask for these fames."

How could Xiao Junmo not know that the emperor was eyeing him, just waiting to find an opportunity to take back the military power in his hands.

The imperial court soon sent someone to escort Zhao Jianshi's own corrupt officials back to the capital, and after the autumn, Mu Jianan was discerned and promoted to Zhizhou.
