Because many new observers were added, in order for everyone to understand clearly, the case was reviewed from the beginning. Peng Li began to describe the case, including his original intention and expected results of the report, and then Huang Yue, who was in charge of the outer hall, , Qingshu and Wang Nang respectively told the results of their verification and their judgment at the time.
This testimony almost clarified the occurrence and process of the entire case, causing a lot of discussion inside and outside the hall.
At this point, most people's opinion is that Peng Li is just looking for trouble. Schools in Yingdu, Yangzhou, Jiujiang, Shangcai and other places have unanimously confirmed that the demon cultivator has already appeared, and various places are also jointly arresting him. You Peng Li wants to say casually Yue concealed the facts and deliberately indulged. Isn't this a case of frame-up of colleagues after being overly fed?
If it weren't for several masters from Shangyuan Hall who have been patrolling everywhere with a straight face and strictly prohibiting making noise, Shangyuan Hall would probably be in chaos again at this moment.
Zhong Liying was also among the crowd listening to the case, but he knew much more about the situation than this group of cultivators who didn't know the truth. The more he listened, the more he complained.
Although the case is being tried in public, Da Fengxing controls the trial process of who will be called first and who will be called last. If the trial continues in this order, by the time everyone hears the end, Sun Xingxing will probably be in bad shape.
He was so anxious that when he was secretly thinking about what to do, he suddenly saw the head of the inner stall in the crowd. He quickly squeezed over and pulled the head to a secluded corner: "Zheng, it's hard for Ying to find you. Why haven't I seen you these days?"
Zheng Fangtou was the one who had a good relationship with Yangzhou. At that time, Zhong Liying paid a lot of money to ask him to check if there were any major cases recently and report them to Da Sheng as soon as possible in order to delay the time and wait for Suiyue to arrive. It would be best to stir up trouble, but so far it has not had any effect. I don't know if it's because there was no response after he reported it, or because there haven't been any major cases recently.
Zheng Fangtou said: "Brother, if you tell me that day, I will go look through the cases. There is indeed no major case worthy of attention. Of course, I also picked up a few and sent them over, but they are of no use."
Zhong Liying said dejectedly: "What should we do?"
Zheng Fangtou said in surprise: "In the past few days, I have known that Yangzhou asked me to report a major case as soon as possible. Do you want to delay it? Or cover up this case with a major case to deceive others? Don't worry... No need to Duoyan, I understand! But brother Zhongli, why should you be depressed? I heard that this case should be very beneficial to Sun Xingxing and the others, so what are you afraid of? "
Zhong Liying sighed and said: "To be honest, this is no longer a simple trial. Someone wants to clean up my family, and there will be changes later."
Zheng Fangtou asked: "Are you shouldering my great devotion?"
Zhong Liying was afraid of scaring him, so she just said: "It's Peng Li and Chang Zisheng. They are jealous of my Sun Xing's great achievements, so they teamed up to frame him."
Zheng Fang rolled his eyes and asked, "Do they have any follow-up methods?"
Zhong Liying nodded: "There must be something else, but I don't know what it is."
Zheng Fangtou said: "A big case came yesterday...but I don't know if it will be useful, and now all the devotions are in the hall, how can I hand it over?"
Zhong Liying asked: "Where did the case come from? How old is it?"
Zheng Fangtou said: "He came from Gusu. Mr. Zhao reported that a big thief took advantage of his absence to break into the school without permission, destroy the doors and walls, and extort the property from the school."
Zhong Liying was shocked when he heard this: "What kind of thief is so bold? Have you killed anyone?"
Zhong Liying is an old file handler and has experience in what kind of cases are considered important. She immediately grasped the key words: "Destroying doors and walls? This is already a serious crime! What's the matter with extortion?"
Zheng Fangtou said: "It seems that they have tied up all the monks in Gusu Academy and tortured them one by one about their money."
Zhong Liying felt puzzled: "This is too contemptuous of the academy! What else is there?"
Zheng Fangtou said: "In the past two days, I was just worried about Sun Xingxing's safety. Case Sect didn't look carefully...but he didn't kill anyone...Zheng also went to Zuowangtang today to cheer for Sun Xingxing!"
Zhong Liying said excitedly: "This is definitely a strange case and should be reported immediately!"
Zheng Fangtou said helplessly: "In this situation, the case has already been tried. The Academy is most concerned about this case. Even if the Gusu case is reported, what is the use? It is impossible to stop. What's more, even if it is useful, it will not stop. How should I report it? Who will report it? I don’t dare to break into the court.”
Zhong Liying couldn't help but feel discouraged after hearing this.
At this time, the proceedings in Shangyuantang were still going on. After Peng Li and the deacon outside the hall gave their testimony, Zhao Shang from Jiujiang also began to go to the hall. Her confession remained the same as before, and she confirmed that the various schools had joined forces to capture the demon cultivator. .
Next is Xue Zhong, who is also consistent: "I have said it countless times, but I still don't listen. If you insist on asking me to change my testimony, it is absolutely impossible. Even if Xue is arrested ten more times, Xue will still be the same." Xue cannot make up anything, he will only confess truthfully."
Uncle Lian said: "Today we are not only discussing matters, but also senior practitioners from various schools are attending. Right and wrong can be judged by themselves, so what can you do if you just say it again?"
So Xue Zhong said: "Then let me say it again, the demon cultivator appeared in all cities before us, not only in Sui city, but everywhere. Peng Li made a fuss, thinking that the demon cultivator is unique to him in Xinzheng? I think he is He wants to make meritorious deeds so much that he no longer cares about the friendship with his colleagues. Of course, his Pengcheng is near Linzi, so it is normal to encounter evil spirits and heretics rarely, and it is understandable that he will treat one as a treasure when he encounters one. "
These words were said during the last meeting, and there was nothing new, so I did not ask any new questions. The only thing Jian Wu asked him to answer was who was the initiator of their joint arrest.
Xue Zhong still did not change his confession, and replied that Sun Wu was walking in Yangzhou.
When Suiyue came up, there was a sudden cry of exclamation: "He was beaten! He was tortured!"
There were wounds everywhere on his head, face, neck, and wrists. It was obvious that they were new and could not be older than a day.
Lu Tong immediately shouted: "What do you mean? Suiyue, where did you get this wound? Who hit you?"
Suiyue glanced at Jianwu, lowered his head and said nothing.
Lu Tong was furious: "When Mr. Lu heard that you were detained in Zuowangtang, he rushed there immediately. It seems you were too late! Uncle Lian, Jianwu abused lynching, didn't you ask? He must have been detained." Threatened!"
Jianwu said angrily: "Lu Tong, don't frame me with your nonsense. If I, Jianwu, ask someone to retract my confession, is there any need to be lynched?"
Uncle Lian comforted both parties and asked Suiyue: "When were you injured? Who hit you?"
Suiyue glanced at Jianwu again, and Jianwu was furious: "Good thief, what do you think I'm doing? Just say whatever you want. Tell me clearly who hit me!"
Suiyue hesitated for a moment and bowed to several great ministers: "This incident originated from Sui, and it has affected so many brothers and friends. Sui is ashamed and has no place, so...he hurt himself. Everything has nothing to do with my great devotion!"
