The next day, at the entrance of the county government, a large number of city people gathered in a pile, like a honeycomb, as if they wanted to squeeze in to see the situation in the public hall.

"Get out of the way—" Outside the gate, the rough voices of several officials came, and the official in charge of holding the staff pushed away several handfuls of the civilians crowded at the door, and then carried the boxes that seemed to be very important to the house.

Today is the second day of the trial, yesterday Huang Ji sued Nangong for killing Xiao Yun's family with a black-clothed assassin, due to the lack of witness evidence, the time for trial is not ripe, so the prefect changed today to retry the case. Now, not only the plaintiff Huang Ji, but also the defendant Nangong Yong has also come to the county office. But Huang Ji would never have thought that the prefect and Nangong Yong had colluded yesterday to reach a criminal deal, and the people of the Nangong family seemed to want to use money to buy the county officials. Although the prefect of the county government has a lot of thoughts and wants to use it to continue to make money, it will naturally not be completely biased towards one side, but it is certain that since he helped Huang Ji investigate the case yesterday, the prefect will definitely be biased towards the Nangong family today, and the plaintiff will definitely suffer a great loss......

Outside the gate of the county government, Nangong Ping, the second-in-command of the Nangong family, and Nangong Zhun, the third son of Nangong, also quietly blended into the crowd......

"Third nephew, have you taken care of everything?" Nangong Ping asked quietly.

Nangong Zhun chuckled and said, "Hmph, don't worry, second uncle, after my father found out about this yesterday, I just told my father that someone deliberately framed the third uncle." When the prefect helps us turn the case around today, my father will naturally be more convinced that my third uncle was falsely accused......"

"But third brother, didn't you say that the prefect who saw the money wanted to take advantage of the dispute between our Nangong family and Huang Ji to take the opportunity to make money?" Nangong Ping asked again. "You said that he helped our Nangong family today, and he went to help Huang Ji tomorrow, and then lied that the case was unsolved. Turning a corner and seeking more property from our Nangong family, wouldn't it be difficult for your father to know the truth of the matter?"

Nangong Zhun continued to sneer: "Don't worry, my father is usually so busy, he trusts me very much, I told him yesterday, he won't have too many doubts...... Besides. I also mentioned yesterday that as long as the prefect helped us once, we would be blinded by our father. His usefulness is gone. Since they have helped us today, we must not let him live through tomorrow......"

"You mean, ...... that prefect today," Nangong Ping said with a gesture.

"Who told him to be greedy for money and vain his life, and he dared to deceive the people of our Nangong family. He must be made to suffer......" Nangong Zhun continued to say softly. "Don't worry, one of the two boxes of gold that was just delivered to him contained a killer that I had hired with money. If the Prime Minister's Mansion came to inspect during the day, he naturally didn't dare to take out the two boxes of 'stolen goods' casually, only at night when no one paid attention. In the evening, he opened the box and hummed - he was finished......" After speaking, a cold smile appeared on Nangong Zhun's face.

"Okay, it seems that what the third brother said is right. Among the seven sons of Nangong, he is the most capable of doing smart things. Or you Nangong Zhun ......" Nangong Ping looked at Nangong Zhun with a smile, "The eldest nephew Nangong Cheng can only deal with things and will not socialize, the sixth nephew Nangong Jun left home and went north, life and death are still uncertain, the eldest brother's two favorite sons are already like this, maybe the third nephew, you can really inherit the eldest brother's family business, maybe ......"

Nangong Zhun didn't say anything, just smiled lightly with a sideways face......

The case was about to be tried publicly, and Huang Ji and Nangong Yong were kneeling in front of the court, waiting for the prefect to ascend to the court to try the case. And behind the main hall, what are the prefects and masters still planning......

"My lord, the two boxes of gold that the Nangong family gave to you just now have been sent to the back of the courtyard, you can see ......," the master said in advance.

The prefect straightened his official hat, then smiled and said, "I know...... But during the day, everyone is watching, don't be too public, and at night when no one is around, you can go with me and have a look......"

The master nodded first, and then said to the prefect: "My lord, how you will go out to try the case later, it should be clear......

The prefect flicked his sleeves, then put on an official look, and continued: "Nonsense, isn't it just to help Nangong move the case back, but it can't be too obvious." ”

"My lord, as long as you keep taking sides from both sides, this case will be endless...... "Master said with a smile, "It's better to confuse everyone about the whole case, so that everyone can't figure it out." But you can't completely break away from the Nangong family, so that the people of the Nangong family become nervous, so that the Nangong family will give more money to reward you......"

"Okay, okay, I ......understand," the prefect said a little impatiently, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it, hurry up and finish the case, I'll hurry up and see if the two boxes of gold are real or fake......" It seems that the prefect's mind has always been on the two boxes of gold sent by the Nangong family.

After speaking, the prefect slowly walked out from behind the main hall and prepared to start the trial.

"Ascension—"

"Might-Might-"

With the sound of the case, the prefect sat on the public chair in front of him, and the whole person still looked like he didn't care about anything.

The staff guards on both sides stood neatly, and Huang Ji and Nangong in the middle looked at each other with confrontational eyes from time to time. Huang Ji's eyes looked very serious, and they were also angry, that night, when Huang Ji recognized Nangong Yong, he also looked at him with such eyes. And Nangong Yong didn't seem to care, as if he was very confident, and then he said softly: "Huang Ji Gongzi, you recognized the wrong person, right? How can I say that I am also the third-in-command of the dignified Nangong family, how could I do such a hurtful thing, wouldn't I ignore the dignified Nangong family?"

Huang Ji saw that Nangong Yong was so quibble, so he retorted in a low voice: "In the public court, since you are talking nonsense with your eyes open, and you have done such a thing, you actually pretend to have nothing to do-"

"The moonlight was dark that night, Huang Ji Gongzi must have done it in Xia?" Nangong Yong continued to smile and said, "I have no intention of going against Huang Gongzi in Xia, if Huang Ji Gongzi insists on framing Xia and framing our Nangong family, then we will not give up......"

Huang Ji listened to Nangong's shameless words, and said angrily: "Hmph." To say such a crooked reason in broad daylight, what you and I said and did that night was nothing, it was simply shameless and unconscionable!"

"Silence-" Huang Jizuihou's voice seemed to be a little heavier. was heard by the prefect, and a ringing from the prefect interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Now in the court, there are all human and material evidence, how can you quibble?" Huang Ji turned his head and said softly.

"Hmph, then come on......" Nangong said with a look of indifference.

Hearing Nangong say this. Huang Ji's heart couldn't help but feel empty: "Nangong doesn't seem to be afraid, does it really make Miss Su right, Nangong family...... bribed the prefect ......" Huang Ji's heart became more and more nervous the more he thought about it.

The prefect teased his beard with his hand. Then he asked Huang Ji: "Huang Gongzi, you said yesterday that Nangong used people to forcibly expropriate public land, and also raped the people's daughters and killed their family, right?"

"Yes. My lord—" Huang Ji came back to his senses. Stand up and answer first.

"Then Huang Gongzi can have any evidence?" the prefect asked again.

Huang Ji continued to reply: "My lord, you should have seen it yesterday, the villain brought the body of the man in black and the witnesses, and what they said is true. ”

"But Huang Gongzi, you only brought your personal card, didn't you?" the prefect asked rhetorically.

"Your Excellency...... What do you mean?" Huang Ji was a little confused.

"How can this official believe that the witness brought by Huang Gongzi yesterday must be true?" the prefect first asked with a smile, and then shouted outside the court, "Legend-Nangong family witness!"

As soon as these words came out, Huang Ji's eyes were startled, and he looked back behind him. And Nangong Yong seemed to understand something. With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he seemed to be very confident in the development of the next trial......

I saw that the person who testified for the Nangong family turned out to be Nangong Zhun.

"Nangong Zhun. How could he ......" Huang Ji muttered unconsciously in a low voice, and a premonition of unhappiness welled up in his heart.

Nangong Zhun took a step and walked into the court with a proud look, relying on the power of the Nangong family, he didn't even kneel down in front of the prefect. He glanced sideways at Huang Ji, then smiled softly, and then returned his gaze to the prefect in front of him.

"Nangong Zhun see the prefect-" Nangong Zhun said with both hands.

The prefect saw Nangong Zhun coming, so he asked directly: "Nangong Zhun, this official asks you, as a witness of the Nangong family, do you know where Nangong was on the night of the crime?"

Nangong Zhun showed a sly smile and said, "Lord Hui, the third uncle of the contemptible people has been drinking with the second uncle and the contemptible people that night, and he has not taken a step out of the Nangong compound. ”

As soon as these words came out, Huang Ji was stunned when Nangong Zhun opened his eyes and said nonsense - it seems that what Su Jia said before was right, the people of the Nangong family had already colluded with the people of the county government.

Huang Ji's heart was shocked, but he didn't immediately refute it. At this moment, someone outside the door suddenly shouted: "It's obviously nonsense, that night, many of us saw Nangong used to enter Miss Xiaoyun's house, are we all wrong?"

"Yes, we all saw it-" "Yes, we all saw it-" The voices of the people kept coming from outside the door, and it seemed that these people were the people in the departure area who saw Nangong's evil deeds that night.

"Above the public court, no noise-" The prefect made another ringing case, temporarily calming the people outside the door. A few people wanted to rush to the court to judge, but they were driven away by a few guards with rods, and they also temporarily retreated.

Huang Ji looked at everything on the scene, and his heart was also anxious.

Seeing that the situation was tilted a little towards the people of the Nangong family, the county magistrate asked Huang Ji again: "Huang Gongzi, since Nangong Zhun said that he and Nangong Yong had been together that night, then how could Nangong Yong go out to commit the crime that night? Could it be that Huang Ji Gongzi, your testimony is false?"

I didn't expect that the prefect's attitude was completely different from yesterday, Huang Ji paused, and then only said: "I didn't expect that the villain and the people in the departure area, so many witnesses, your lordship, you hesitated, and now just based on Nangong Zhun's unreasonable words, your lord, you will believe it......" Huang Ji's voice was not loud, but the words were engraved.

Nangong Zhun listened to it in his ears, and added fuel and vinegar: "Huang Gongzi, speaking is also about evidence, do you still doubt the judgment of the prefect? Besides, since you suspect that the prefect Weishenme believed this son just because of one sentence, then why did he believe Huang Gongzi you with just one sentence?"

Huang Ji listened, and glanced sideways at Nangong Zhun.

Nangong Zhun didn't seem to care, and continued: "There is. This murdered Xiaoyun girl has nothing to do with Huang Gongzi, so why do you have to work tirelessly to help her overturn the case? Huang Gongzi, your purpose is to get along with our Nangong family?"

"Nangong Zhun, don't deceive people too much-" Huang Ji retorted, his voice was not loud, but his tone was very discerning.

"I'm deceiving people too much?haha-" Nangong Zhun continued to laugh, "My lord, what I just said is probably not unreasonable, Lord Weishenme, don't you doubt Huang Gongzi's motive for reporting to the official this time?"

The prefect was thinking in his heart. After listening to Nangong Zhun's words, he didn't say anything, but nodded first.

"This ...... What kind of verdict is this?" "How so?" Wasn't Huang Gongzi okay yesterday......" "Huang Gongzi can't have this kind of motive, the people of the Nangong family are framing Huang Gongzi......" The noise of the people outside the door gradually rose again.

Nangong Zhun saw that the scene was becoming more and more complicated, and in order to increase the pressure on the prefect, he turned his head to the prefect and said, "What do you say?" My lord?"

I thought about it for a while. Then he continued: "To sum up, the witnesses of the Nangong family and Huang Jigongzi's testimony yesterday have their own reasons. Both sides have their own witnesses, and there is no conclusive evidence as to which is right and which is wrong. As for what Nangong Quasi-Gongzi said just now, Huang Jigongzi wanted to frame the Nangong family, maybe it was just a guess, since Nangong Gongzi said that Huang Gongzi didn't need to speak for a common person who had nothing to do with him, then naturally there was no need to frame the Nangong family, which had nothing to do with him. According to the official's guess, the night of the crime was cloudy and sparse, and perhaps the people present were really wrong. After all, the people of the Nangong family did not dare to slander the testimony casually. The official thought to himself, maybe the tragedy of Miss Xiaoyun's family. Maybe something else is the work of a wicked person...... In short, there are still many mysteries in this case, and the evidence is insufficient, so we can't make a conclusion so early. Leave the court today, and the case will be tried again tomorrow—"

At the sound of the order, the guards next to him began to slowly retreat.

"How is this, this case has not been tried yet, why did it withdraw from the court?" "That is, maybe, what is hidden in this......" The people outside the door were puzzled when they saw the prefect's strange behavior.

However, this prefect does still have a hand, not only does he make sense of what he says, but also helps the people of the Nangong family to get back one percent very reasonably, and he does not deliberately deal with Huang Ji, and he also helps Huang Ji defend himself, which can be regarded as achieving his original goal.

Nangong Zhun saw it in his eyes, and said secretly in his heart: "Okay, you prefect, you dare to turn over our Nangong family in front of you and not convict Huang Ji, it seems that the prefect really wants to make money from it, right...... Okay, anyway, you have already helped our Nangong family turn over the case today, and your use value is over, wait, tonight is your sacrifice night......"

Nangong Zhunyin glanced at the prefect with a smile, and then said to Nangong Yong beside him: "Let's go, third uncle, let's go back first, don't let my father know that it's too serious......"

After speaking, Nangong Zhun looked at Huang Ji for a while, and then left silently......

Huang Ji stood in place and thought for a long time, thinking that if the prefect really accepted the bribe from the Nangong family, Weishenme would help him...... Huang Ji slowly walked out of the hall, followed by a large number of people.

"Huang Gongzi, are you alright?" asked a young man with a small head.

"Really, this prefect actually handled the case like this, and that Nangong Zhun actually opened his eyes and said nonsense!" Another little girl also said indignantly.

Huang Ji paused for a moment, then took a breath and said, "Okay, folks, xiexie, your concern...... Don't worry, no matter how the prefect handles the case, I will never forget the death of Miss Xiaoyun. It doesn't matter what conspiracy the people of the Nangong family have, if they don't clear their minds for Miss Xiaoyun, I, Huang Ji, will never give up!"

Then, Huang Ji left the people who were worried about him and walked in the direction of Lu Mansion - he had to tell Lu Jing the outcome of the matter as soon as possible......

However, among these onlookers was a man in a hood who had not spoken all this time. The man lifted his hat slightly, and his face turned out to be Murong Xin, the eldest son of Murong.

Murong Xin sneered, and said secretly in his heart: "Hmph, I didn't expect to be able to catch the handle of the Nangong family like this." Nangong Luo, the head of the Nangong family, is an upright person, but now he is still in the dark, maybe he should find an opportunity to tell Nangong Luo's predecessors, maybe there will be turmoil in the Nangong family......"

Murong Xin put on his hat again and left quickly in another direction...... (To be continued......)
