Chapter 639 Sir, you must have a conscience.

Magistrate Tang had no choice but to continue the court session and said, "Release Yang Xiong."

The bailiff wanted to step forward and untie Yang Xiong, but Gui Ge'er, a kind-hearted citizen, kindly stepped forward and untied him.

Yang Xiong was so angry that he kicked Gui Ge'er.

Gui Ge'er dodged flexibly and immediately shouted, "Sir, I was kind enough to help him untie it, but he hit me. Sir, I will leave the court first. This Yang Xiong is really abominable."

The onlookers said one after another: "That's right, I helped him out of kindness, but I still got kicked. Hey, he is indeed a bad guy."

Yang Xiong was so angry that he vomited blood. What kindhearted person? Who was responsible for him being tied up?

If it hadn't been in court, Yang Xiong would have had Gui Ge'er beaten to death.

The bailiff stepped forward and untied the ropes on Yang Xiong, as well as those on his four lackeys.

Yang Xiong hurriedly threw down the cloth gagged in his mouth and said, "Brother-in-law, quickly catch that man. He kidnapped me."

Before Magistrate Tang could say anything, Sun Shan came out and shouted, "You bold Yang Xiong, who is your brother-in-law? In the court, even adults are not called. You are disrespecting the court, which is disrespecting the law."

Yang Xiong trembled after being harshly scolded by Sun Shan.

He turned around and saw a short, thin, slightly dark man glaring at him.

I was just about to ask who you are and what it has to do with you.

When I saw him wearing the juren's robe and hat, I knew who he was.

The first scholar in Huangyang County, it is hard not to know him.

Although Yang Xiong was wary of Sun Shan's status as a juren, a juren was nothing compared to his brother-in-law.

He stared at Sun Shan fiercely and was about to speak.

Sun Shan took the lead and shouted, "You bold lunatic! You don't even kneel down in court! You are a commoner and have no right to stand."

After hearing these words, Yang Xiong was so angry that he vomited blood.

Sun Shan was right. As a commoner, he had to kneel down when he saw the county magistrate in court.

Sun Shan bowed, looked at Lord Tang, and said coldly, "Sir, Yang Xiong has been brought here, but he refused to kneel before the official. This is a disrespect for the court, for you, and even for the laws of the Great Qian Kingdom. Sir, such an arrogant person should be beaten with ten sticks first to serve as a warning to others."

Sun Shan's serious expression not only scared Yang Xiong, but also the onlookers.

Their native scholar was so majestic just now, so different from his usual self.

Oh, so majestic, so scary.

Some people who had been casual with Sun Shan suddenly remembered that they had always been making fun of Mr. Sun casually, and they were afraid that Sun Shan would track them down, and they couldn't help but become afraid.

Oh, this Mr. Sun, who would have thought that he had such a majestic side, it made them feel so unfamiliar.

Lord Tang's hands trembled. In this court, it seemed that Sun Shan was the official and he himself was just a passerby.

County Magistrate Tang was so angry that he vomited blood.

However, everything Sun Shan said was well-founded.

County Magistrate Tang picked up the chopping board and slammed it, saying loudly: "Yang Xiong, don't kneel down. If you don't kneel down, don't blame me for punishing you.

When Yang Xiong saw County Magistrate Tang’s cold face, his heart trembled.

His original arrogance immediately disappeared and he knelt down tremblingly.

How could Yang Xiong dare not kneel? All his confidence came from County Magistrate Tang. Apart from County Magistrate Tang, he was just a farmer's son.

County Magistrate Tang really didn't want to continue the trial, but he had to.

County Magistrate Tang said, "Yang Xiong, do you admit your guilt?"

Yang Xiong immediately shouted, "It's unfair, sir. What did I do? I didn't do anything. How can I be guilty?"

Yang Xiong secretly glanced at Sun Shan, and then at a little child kneeling next to Sun Shan.

Yesterday, County Magistrate Tang hurriedly brought him back and asked him if he had killed anyone.

Yang Xiong definitely denied it, but when he finally knew the truth was revealed, he had no choice but to tell everything.

If we say that Yang Xiong harmed people, his original intention was not to kill them.

It was just that I didn't expect that the lackeys were too strong that day, and that weak scholar was too weak and could not withstand the beating, so he died after just a few hits.

Yang Xiong was a little panicked at first. This was his first time to kill someone. He usually used tricks and plunder, so he would never be so brutal.

When Yang Xiong saw Jin that day, his eyes lit up. He thought Jin was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in Huangyang County, and he couldn't help but masturbate for a moment.

Afterwards, he wanted to use the money to develop an adulterous relationship with the adulterer.

Who knew that Mr. Jin would come, and who knew he was so weak to fighting.

Everything was beyond our expectations.

Later, Yang Qingbei died, Jin also hanged herself, and Yang Xiong was a little scared.

Later, after some investigation, it was found that Yang Qingbei was just the second son of a small landlord, and his brother-in-law was the head of a county.

He used this name to threaten the landlord Yang, and he kindly paid 50 taels of silver as compensation.

Yang Xiong felt that he was generous enough and believed that the matter was settled.

But who would have thought that it was brought up again yesterday. Yang Xiong really regretted that his men had no sense of propriety and wished he could beat up those lackeys for causing such trouble for him.

County Magistrate Tang looked at Yang Xiong expressionlessly and asked Chief Clerk Zhang to read out Hu Ming's petition.

County Magistrate Tang asked again: "Yang Xiong, is what is written in the petition true or false?"

Yang Xiong, of course, did not admit it. He kowtowed and shouted, "My Lord, I am innocent. What is written above is slander. I have never done it. I do not even know this so-called Yang Qingbei and Jin. My Lord, I am innocent. You must help me and clear my name."

Yang Xiong couldn't help but look at Hu Ming next to him, and then at Sun Shan. The charge was written very viciously.

What? He beat him to death with sticks himself? Come on, he didn't do it at all, it was his servants who did it.

This is to put the blame of Yang Qingbei's death on himself.

Yang Xiong was filled with hatred.

I wish I could kill Sun Shan.

Wasn’t this so-called first scholar in Huangyang County studying in Jinling?

Why come back?

You're going to Beijing to take the exam, so why are you meddling in other people's business? Are you too bored?

Yang Xiong didn't believe that Sun Shan was only doing this for the sake of their schoolmates' friendship, and he thought that it must be because the landlord Yang had given him a great benefit.

How much did Landlord Yang give? He, Yang Xiong, gave double.

Yang Xiong thought about it and realized that Sun Shan had a special identity and could not be beaten to death. He could only bribe him and bring him to his side to become a member of his group.

County Magistrate Tang felt heavy-hearted as he was trying to gamble and make choices.

He said with such a look: "Mr. Sun, do you have evidence? You can't just say that Yang Xiong is guilty."

Sun Shan replied: "Sir, I have evidence."

Magistrate Tang and Yang Xiong looked at Sun Shan.

Sun Shan didn't care at all and gave Gui Ge'er a look.

After a while, Doctor Chang from the clinic and Aunt Lu, the laundry worker, came up.

The onlookers recognized Doctor Chang, and of course some people recognized Aunt Lu.

Huangyang County is small, and the neighbors are all related.

Everyone exclaimed, eager to know what would happen next.

Doctor Chang and Aunt Lu knelt down tremblingly and introduced themselves in a trembling voice.

County Magistrate Tang felt even more depressed, but he still had to continue the investigation.

County Magistrate Tang asked, "Auntie Lu, you said you saw Yang Xiong beat the plaintiff's father to death?"

Aunt Lu nodded and told her story of that day in a trembling voice.

Finally, she said: "My Lord, I have not been able to sleep these days. I feel guilty. I have wanted to report to the authorities and expose Yang Xiong many times, but I am just an ordinary citizen and I dare not do it.

Sir, now that the deceased's son has come to file a complaint, my conscience cannot bear it and I must tell the truth. Sir, a person must have a conscience. "
