Although Lin Haoming didn't care about the old Taoist priest, he still had to take precautions. In addition to telling Yu'er not to leave the mansion, he also asked people to monitor the situation of the Taoist temple and investigate the situation of the Taoist temple. Fortunately, Yu'er was very obedient. After Lin Haoming's instructions, she continued to retreat in the house. Shu Siyue also kept this in mind and discussed with Qiniang. Even if Yu'er wanted to go out, one of the two of them must accompany her.
Under such circumstances, there was no problem on Yu'er's side, but Yu Yanqing's case began to become more and more eye-catching.
Although Fang Ruhai presided over the three-party joint trial, Yu Yanqing denied all charges throughout the process and refused to admit guilt from beginning to end, which made Fang Ruhai quite angry.
Of course, it would not matter if it was just Yu Yanqing's attitude, because during the whole process, the evidence and witnesses presented were enough to convict Yu Yanqing, although the crime was not very serious.
But things are not that simple. This day happens to be the trial of the misappropriation of salaries and military supplies. The matter is actually very clear. It is indeed an emergency situation at the beginning, and the military did not agree, so the military supplies were used first, and then Make up again.
The matter is very clear, but it also has to go through the motions, and it also appears that the person reviewing the case is acting impartially rather than for personal gain.
As jurors, Lin Haoming and Zhou Mengli came earlier, and because of the trial of this case, they were already familiar with Fang Ruhai and others. Although the representatives had different positions, on the surface both sides were quite polite, let alone There is also the middleman Zhou Mengli in the middle.
In the lobby, the first few people who arrived were talking about interesting things in the city recently. After all, they are not life-and-death enemies. It is naturally the most appropriate to get together and talk about such things.
Regardless of whether they were the chief interrogator, jurors or witnesses, everyone except Song Ting had arrived. However, after all, Song Ting was the right comrade and could be counted on one hand in the entire Dishan City, so it was appropriate to wait for a while.
But who would have thought that while everyone was chatting, there was shouting outside, as if many people had gathered outside Tongpan Mansion.
Fang Ruhai asked someone to go see what was going on immediately. After a while, a government servant ran back and reported to everyone: "Sir, for some reason, a large number of people gathered outside the government office, and these people looked like It's not like the ones in the city, it seems like it's from outside.
"Coming from the county below? Could it be that public grievances broke out in any of the counties below?" Fang Ruhai heard this and murmured subconsciously. After all, this kind of thing had happened before.
"What? It's not like the hundreds of counties under Dithief City are quite peaceful. How could something like this happen?" Zhou Mengli excused himself.
"It's hard to say this. After all, now that the new city lord has taken office, it's impossible for someone below to express their grievances!" Fang Ruhai guessed, but mentally thinking, if this is true, it may be a complete shock to the Xiao family. .
"Find a few people and ask them what they are doing, and..." Just as Fang Ruhai was ordering the people below to do things, suddenly a uniform shout came from outside. "Your Majesty Yu saved hundreds of millions of people in the three counties. Corrupt officials, selfish interests, and false accusations against Zhongliang..."
The shouts kept ringing out over and over again, which made everyone present look at each other, especially Fang Ruhai. Just now he was planning to take advantage of this matter, but who thought that it would turn into trouble in the blink of an eye, and his eyes also fell on Xiang Ruhai. For Xuehai, it was obvious to him that the sounds of trouble outside were definitely closely related to Xiang Xuehai.
"Master Fang, why are you looking at me?" Xiang Xuehai glared at him and asked.
"Lord Xiang, we Ming people don't tell secrets. The people who suddenly gathered outside have nothing to do with you?" Fang Ruhai stared at him and asked.
"It has nothing to do with me, what? Mr. Fang thought I was planning to rescue Mr. Yu, so he deliberately gathered the people to petition?" Xiang Xuehai asked in return.
"It would be best if we have nothing to do with Mr. Xiang!" Although Fang Ruhai said this, he did not believe it, because in his opinion, these people present, Lin Haoming and Zhou Mengli, were all newcomers and had absolutely no ability. Let the people below come here to cause trouble. Song Ting, who has not yet arrived, has behaved quite neutrally so far. He only seeks fairness and impartiality in his work. He should not deliberately do anything against him. Only Xiang Xuehai is the most suspected, and Xiao Ming's daughter and son-in-law are both county magistrates in the county below, so they are absolutely capable of mobilizing the forces below.
"Master Fang, Master Song's carriage is blocked outside and can't get in! And it's also surrounded by many people!" At this time, another government servant ran in to report.
"What?" Fang Ruhai was really annoyed this time. After all, Song Ting was a very important figure now, and he and Cui Changting were also trying to win over him.
"Master Fang, Master Xiang, why don't I go out and take a look!" Lin Haoming took the initiative.
"I'll go with Mr. Lin!" Ju Yehao, the left supervisor, said immediately.
Obviously, the Zuo Inspector was worried that Lin Haoming would take the other side. After all, although Lin Haoming had not made any big moves since the beginning of the trial, his position was very clear, and he had completely turned to Cui Changting. Naturally, he needed to Work hard to show that you are different from before.
"Okay!" Lin Haoming just smiled and agreed, and then the two of them strode out together, leaving the remaining people staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
When Lin Haoming walked out, he found that there were really not many people gathered there. The square in front of the Tongxuan Mansion was already filled with tens of thousands of people. Song Ting was standing on the carriage and was shouting loudly. Shouting and telling everyone not to crowd and make noise.
"These are all the people of the three counties. Mr. Lin, do you believe it?" Ju Yehao was very annoyed when he looked at so many people.
"Why don't you believe it?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Although the three counties are not particularly far from Dithief City, even if you take a carriage to get here, the nearest one will take two or three months. The cost on the road is definitely a big sum for these people. If I don't believe it if no one organizes it secretly!" Ju Yehao analyzed rationally.
Lin Haoming naturally knew that Ju Yehao was right, so many people were indeed organized secretly, and Lin Haoming, the organizer, also knew in his heart that it was just in this form and it had to be done.
At this time, Song Ting had already used his own voice to quiet everyone down. He looked at the people and asked, "You have come all the way to ask for your help. I naturally understand your intentions, but no matter what, I cannot hinder you." For a normal interrogation, if everyone does this, how can the laws of heaven be enforced? Please go back, I promise that this case will be handled impartially and will never deliberately frame you!"
"Although we believe in you, Mr. Song, we don't believe in the general trial. We will never agree unless the presiding judge is replaced!" At this moment, a voice rang out from the crowd.
