Chapter 643: Sun Shan is very good at using public opinion, and even better at using the name

Sun Shan led Hu Ming into the gate. Landlord Yang heard the sound and came out to wait for him. He saw Sun Shan and Hu Ming.

He said anxiously: "Mr. Sun, does Yang Xiong have...?"

Before Landlord Yang could finish, Sun Shan nodded and said, "Yang Xiong is sentenced to immediate execution."

When Landlord Yang heard this, his eyes were already filled with tears, and he couldn't tell the tears and snot from each other.

Landlord Yang suddenly fell to his knees and shouted, "Mr. Sun, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness."

Sun Shan and Sun Dingnan quickly helped Landlord Yang up.

Holding his hands, he said, "Uncle, Huming is still young. You must take good care of yourself and take good care of Huming. As long as Huming is here, Tsinghua and Peking University will be here. Huming is the only bloodline of Tsinghua and Peking University. You must raise him well."

Landlord Yang looked at the small Hu Ming with red eyes and nodded heavily: "Mr. Sun, you are right. There is Hu Ming in Peking University and Tsinghua University, and I still have Hu Ming. I must raise him well, let him study, and let him take the imperial examination like you."

Landlord Yang pulled Hu Ming to his side and said to him, "Hu Ming, this is your Shan Bo. You must thank Shan Bo very much. Because of him, your father and mother were able to get justice. Hu Ming, kneel down and kowtow to Shan Bo."

Hu Ming was a little scared. Landlord Yang was so excited that he didn't know what to do for a moment.

When he heard someone say kneel down, Hu Ming knelt down. When he heard someone say kowtow, Hu Ming kowtowed. He did whatever Grandpa said.

Just like today in the court, my grandfather said he would listen to Shanbo, so he listened to Shanbo.

Hu Ming knew that Grandpa and Shanbo were good to him, so he had to listen to them.

Hu Ming kowtowed three times to Sun Shan.

Sun Shan did not stop him. After he finished knocking his head, he helped Hu Ming up.

He said solemnly: "Hu Ming, when you go home, take good care of Grandpa and study hard. If you want to come and play with me, ask Grandpa to bring you here. Sunjia Village, do you know how to get there?"

Hu Ming nodded and said, "Shan Bo, I know. I've been to Sunjia Village."

Landlord Yang was delighted. Sun Shan's words were to give Hu Ming a backer, so that Hu Ming could look for him if he encountered any difficulties.

Landlord Yang bowed and thanked him profusely: "Mr. Sun, thank you. It is the luckiest thing in my life that my family has a good friend like you in Peking University and Tsinghua University."

Sun Shan looked at the sky and saw that it was still early, so he asked someone to send Landlord Yang and Hu Ming back to the village, and told them to stay in the village for the next few days and not to come to the city.

Landlord Yang quickly said yes. He didn't understand why, but he knew he just had to do as he was told.

After seeing off Landlord Yang, Sun Shan said to Sun Dingnan, "Brother Nan, continue to arrange people to guard outside the city gate and stop any suspicious people you see."

The men from Sunjia Village and the people from Zengjia Escort Agency had no right to stop anyone, but if they did, they would stop them. In this day and age, you couldn't just make a phone call and call the police.

Most people would just stop when they see a lot of people and are stopped.

After all, those in numbers have more power, while those in numbers and with less power can only obey.

After receiving the order, Sun Dingnan took his men away.

Sun Shan sat quietly in a chair, looking at the flowers and plants in the yard and listening to the sound of flowing water in the brook.

I wonder what Tang Junyi will do? Today's trial was a little rough and too fast.

It wasn't like the day before when he was trying to protect Yang Xiong.

Sun Shan suspected that Tang Junyi was planning to replace someone else with a fake one.

Sun Shan had to be on guard against this and keep an eye on the yamen at all times.

Fortunately, Huangyang County has only one city gate and is located in a valley with only one way in and out. As long as they guard the road outside the city gate, they can stop Yang Xiong.

Sun Shan also thought that Tang Junyi would not take such a big risk to help Yang Xiong fake his death.

He was so meticulous in his work that anyone who wasn't a fool could tell that he would be on guard.

If Tang Junyi let Yang Xiong go without permission, he would also be guilty.

The younger brother of a concubine was not an important person, so Sun Shan really didn't believe that County Magistrate Tang would sacrifice his life and future to protect Yang Xiong.

This is not worth doing.

Magistrate Tang sentenced Yang Xiong to immediate execution, which did not mean that he was dragged to the execution ground and killed immediately.

The specific execution process of beheading is not to take the person to the execution ground on the spot, but to wait for the approval of the superior before the execution can be carried out.

Although the procedure for immediate execution is simpler than beheading with a stay of execution, it still takes some time between the verdict and the execution.

During this period, Sun Shan had to keep a close eye on the yamen, as he was afraid that Tang Junyi would do something unexpected.

Sun Shan sorted out his thoughts and then followed the lawyer to talk to the plaintiff who sued Yang Xiong.

When the people saw Sun Shan coming out, they felt relieved. They believed that with Mr. Sun around, he would definitely give them justice.

Sun Shan was on guard against County Magistrate Tang on this side, while County Magistrate Tang was over there, anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

In particular, when concubine Yang heard that her younger brother was executed by County Magistrate Tang, she immediately fainted and then went to quarrel with County Magistrate Tang frantically.

Yang was not young anymore, but she cried like a child and shouted, "Master, how dare you sentence Xiong to death? Master, Xiong must not die."

County Magistrate Tang looked at Yang coldly without saying a word.

Yang was a little scared, but for her brother's sake she mustered up the courage to shout, "Master, you are the king of Huangyang County, you are the boss here. What does a scholar mean to you? Master, you must save Xiong. He came to Huangyang County with us, how can he return home as a corpse? Master, how can I explain to my father?"

County Magistrate Tang said coldly: "You must die if you don't do it. Yang Xiong raped a woman and beat a husband to death. These two are serious crimes and he must die."

Yang said anxiously, "Master, we will pay compensation. As long as we don't sue, we will not be guilty."

County Magistrate Tang was already very annoyed and didn't want to get entangled with Yang.

He only left one sentence: Sun Shan is not a simple man, Yang Xiong must die, if Yang Xiong doesn't die, then I will die! ?

Afterwards, County Magistrate Tang ordered the principal wife to take good care of the concubines and descendants at home and not to cause trouble outside.

The wife responded nonchalantly and continued doing what she was doing.

As a childless wife, how could she compete with Yang, who had both sons and daughters?

If she had fought with him in the past, she would have become cold-hearted over the years. If she had somewhere to go, she would have left the Tang family long ago.

Unfortunately, the world is so big that there is no place for her.

As for her parents' home, she had to stay in the Tang family to maintain the respectability of having relatives in the government and gentry, and it was even more impossible for her to return to her parents' home.

County Magistrate Tang whispered with his legal advisor and discussed for a long time before deciding to make a quick decision to avoid any further complications.

County Magistrate Tang sighed and said, "Master, this is difficult for me. I thought I was the king of Huangyang County, a poor place, but I didn't expect that there is a tiger in such a small place. Haha, Master, what should we do in the future?"

The reason why County Magistrate Tang made the judgment immediately was that he saw that the evidence was complete, Yang Xiong had committed many crimes, and the people were very angry.

If the verdict is unfair, it will probably cause public outrage. If something terrible happens, his career as an official will be over.

Even if the public anger could be suppressed, it could not suppress Sun Shan who could file a complaint with the higher authorities.

County Magistrate Tang simply made up his mind and did as his lawyer advised, cutting the Gordian knot by convicting the criminal first and appeasing the masses to avoid further escalation of the situation.

This Sun Shan was very good at manipulating public opinion and even better at manipulating the people. County Magistrate Tang was really afraid of him.
