Yang Gong Bingpao sullenly said: "Open the case."

"Mighty—ascension!"

The rag was pulled out of Feng Qun's mouth, and Yang Gong asked: "A villager sued you for abusing your power and forcing all their men to do hard labor. Is there such a thing?"

"No!" Feng Qun and the others quickly denied.

"Then why are you taking the labor registration books and circling all of their names?"

Feng Qun broke into cold sweat and said: "My lord, I am wronged, I just sketched the name, I didn't want to do anything."

Yang Gong frowned coldly, "As a yamen servant who supervises labor, you probably don't know that except after the mayor confirms the roster, you are not allowed to draw names at will, right?"

Feng Qun trembled and said, "The little ones are just careless."

"Accidentally sketched so many people, you really have eyes!"

Feng Qun clenched his fists and argued, "My lord, the little ones really just accidentally outlined their names, and didn't really list them..."

Yang Gongbing interrupted him, "If you have written the time limit for them to serve corvee service on the roster, Feng Qun and you guys will have already been sent to prison."

"Now the mayor of the town can still give you a chance. If you confess, you will be lenient, and if you resist, you will be strict."

Feng Qun said anxiously: "My lord! I really didn't want so many of them to do hard labor. I really just wanted to tease them."

Duke Yang asked, "Why are you teasing them? Is it like the second article of their complaint, that you colluded with Xiong Chishi and the Wang family brothers to coerce them to log for personal gain?"

Yang Gongbing actually found out Xiong Yuanwai!

Feng Qun's face turned pale, and he denied it outright, "No, my lord, how dare a young one!"

The other officials and the brothers of the Wang family also said in unison, "My lord, the little ones dare not!"

"Did Xiong Chishi bring it?"

"Go back to your lord, you have already been called."

"Bring him up."

Xiong Yuanwai has been in Wogan Town for so many years,

This is the first time someone has been sued in court.

The most incredible thing was that he was sued by a group of refugees like duckweed.

Kneeling in the courtroom, he glanced at Feng Qun, then at the brothers of the Wang family, and knelt on the ground to salute, "See you, my lord."

"Xiong Chishi, is it true that the villagers of a village sued you for colluding with officials Feng Qun and the brothers of the Wang family and coercing them to hand over wood to build your compound?"

Xiong Chishi was terrified, he didn't expect that something that was supposed to be a sure thing would turn into such a mess.

He immediately shook his head and said, "Xiaomin is wronged, Xiaomin doesn't know Feng Qun and the Wang family brothers at all, and has never met them before!"

They didn't admit their crimes. Yang Gong looked at the leader Cui Shize and asked, "Who do you have to prove that what you said is true?"

Cui Shize saluted respectfully, Yang Gongbing thought that this was the former prime minister of the two dynasties, a direct disciple of Mr. Yang, his heart was pounding, he restrained his excitement and said: "Then present the evidence, let's announce the witness! "

A servant of Xiong Chishi's family was thrown into the court.

Feng Qun, brother of Xiong Yuanwai's Wang family, saw this person clearly, and his expression changed drastically.

Yang Gongbing: "Who is in the hall, and what is the testimony?"

Laifu glanced at the hidden guard who threw him out, remembering the inhuman torture just now, in order to save his life, he had to tell the truth bitterly: "The villain is Laifu, the servant of Yuan Xiong's family, as evidenced by the villagers of Youjia Village It’s all about the fact that Xiong Yuanwai colluded with the officials Feng Qun and the Wang family brothers to force the villagers of Youjia Village to hand over the timber for land reclamation.”

Xiong Yuanwai was furious: "Nonsense!" Then he shouted at Yang Gongbing: "My lord, he must have been coerced by those refugees and framed me, it's in vain that I treat him so well, such ungrateful My lord must not believe what the villain said!"

Now that the matter has come to an end, Lai Fu hastily knelt a few steps forward, avoiding the cannibalistic stares of the other members of the Xiong family, "My lord, everything the villain said is true, and the villain still has evidence!"

The word "evidence" was like a thunderbolt that hit Feng Qun's brains, making them angry, afraid and want to kill!

If the crime is really carried out on him, selling official timber privately is a serious crime that will cost his head!

Yang Gongbing didn't seem like someone who could buy a life with money, and Yuanwai Xiong's mouth was trembling with fear.

Laifu took out a timber brochure from his pocket, presented it respectfully, and said, "Mr. Xiong has already decided to build the fields for the compound, but he didn't buy any wood for the house."

"Instead, let the masters and I calculate how much high-quality wood is needed, and then let me personally hand over the wood booklet to the Wang family brothers, and let them watch the group of refugees pick the best century-old wood on the mountain for felling. The Wang family brothers are the first I took the villagers back to look for the refugees in Youjia Village, but they were unwilling, so Mr. Xiong asked me to take Wang Chang to Feng Qun, the official, and asked him to deal with the villagers in Youjia Village. .”

Xiong Chishi shouted excitedly: "He's talking nonsense! I don't know them at all. He made up his own ideas to please me, and when something happened, he falsely blamed me."

Laifu didn't want all the shit to fall on his head, and he bit his lip and said, "Xiong Yuanwai not only wants to repair the yard, he also secretly negotiated with several big households in the town, promising to get them cheap wood , and want to secretly smuggle them into the wood business.”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall.

Xiong Yuanwai was so courageous that he colluded with other big households in the town to do the timber smuggling business, and the people who were watching the case were dumbfounded.

This is a serious crime that will kill your head!

Among the crowd watching the excitement, there were the owners of these households. When they ate melons on their own heads, their faces turned pale with fright. , My lord, it’s clear!"

When they yelled like this, they already admitted that Yuanwai Xiong had indeed colluded with Feng Qun and others to coerce the refugees in Youjia Village to cut down timber for personal gain.

Yang Gong looked at the limp Xiong Chishi and the others in the hall: "There are all witnesses and material evidence, can you plead guilty?"

Pleading guilty will only lead to death, how could they be willing to plead guilty!

Xiong Chishi yelled: "I'm wronged! My lord, I really don't know anything, it's all done by the damn slaves!"

Laifu was terrified that he would be beheaded, so he hastily swore: "My slave is telling the truth, and half of it is false, and there will be five thunders from the sky, and I will die a terrible death!"

Feng Qun didn't expect things to turn out like this, he pointed at Cui Shize and said angrily, "My lord, they are rioters, they are the secret agents of Yan Kingdom, how can you believe what they say!"

Yanggong Bing lowered his face, "My lord is neither blind nor deaf. They make their own judgments carefully. Xiong Chixin's Wang family brother Feng Chang and others colluded to threaten the villagers of Youjia Village. There are all private evidence in the logging camp. The crime is true. , According to the laws of the Ling Kingdom, all the masterminds will be imprisoned and executed, their property will be confiscated, and the rest of the people involved will be given a lighter punishment if they confess now!"
