Looking at Zhang Feimo, who came out of the back office wearing a green official uniform and a black gauze hat, Xu Gaoyuan suddenly became nervous for some reason.

The disappearance of that disaster relief money is still a painful memory for the people of Heshan County.

When he was in Heshan County, he witnessed the deaths and injuries of people in Heshan County...

Now, is the truth going to come out?

Or in other words, can the truth ever be revealed?

In the court, after Zhang Feimo came out and sat at the desk, when he looked at Wang Hao and his wife again, murderous intent was revealed in his eyes.

Thinking back to when he saw the silver in the back hall just now, he even felt that killing them both was too easy for them.

"Court open!" Zhang Feimo slammed the gavel, the sound was like thunder.

"Powerful... mighty..." Xiao 뀗 and Xiao Wu, two groups of yamen runners, shouted in unison.

The water and fire sticks struck the ground, making a dull sound, which seemed unusually loud in this quiet front yard.

At this time, Wang Hao and Li Yayu had been brought to the court by Xiaoxiong.

Wang Hao's brocade clothes were covered with dust, and his hair was disheveled, but he still refused to kneel down and stared at Zhang Feimo straightly.

If looks could kill, Zhang Feimo believed that he would have died a thousand times.

Looking at Li Yayu again, although she looked pale, she looked quite calm.

But if you look closely, you'll find that she's clutching the corners of her clothes with both hands, her knuckles turning white.

This is clearly nervous behavior.

That is to say, Li Yayu was actually beginning to feel unsure.

No idea, that's right, today he, Zhang Feimo, will definitely send them to the guillotine.

"Kneel down!" Xiao Lue shouted.

However, the two still pretended not to hear.

"You guys don't want to kneel before me?" Zhang Feimo said coldly in the hall.

Hearing this, Li Yayu knelt down reluctantly.

At this time, what's wrong with her kneeling? She wants her son to be fine.

Knowing that they were arrested, he would definitely find a way to inform his grandson and grandfather.

Seeing Li Yayu kneeling, Wang Hao had to obey even though he was not convinced.

When he looked up at Zhang Feimo again, he said arrogantly, "You are a seventh-rank county magistrate, but you don't know the fourth-rank assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, right?"

The tone was full of sarcasm.

Zhang Feimo ignored his words and instead ordered Xiaoxiong, "Bring him up!"

As his voice fell, Wang Zhongjin was forced by two yamen runners to kneel in the courtroom.

But even so, Wang Zhongjin still stiffened his neck, his face flushed, and his eyes were filled with anger.

Seeing their son, Wang Hao and Li Yayu were both shocked.

Especially Li Yayu, if she could maintain her usual calmness just now, now she is completely panicked.

She had such a son. How could he bear it if he was thrown into prison?

As soon as Wang Zhongjin saw Wang Hao and Li Yayu, he shouted as if he saw a savior:

"Dad, Mom, what's going on? Why is this happening..."

"Quiet!" Zhang Feimo slammed the gavel in his hand on the table again, interrupting Wang Zhongjin's next words.

Seeing that his words were interrupted by Zhang Feimo, Wang Zhongjin became even more furious.

A mere seventh-rank official actually yelled at him like that.

He didn't know what he was doing. He had grown up sideways, and no one had ever tried to drink him like this.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhongjin suddenly raised his head and started cursing at Zhang Feimo who was sitting in the hall.

"Zhang Feimo, you dog official, do you know who you are touching today? If you dare to touch me today, someone will kill you!"

After these words, the courtroom suddenly became quiet.

Zhang Feimo is indeed a dandy young man.

At this moment, I still can't see the situation clearly.

It has to be said that even he felt sad for Wang Hao and Li Yayu.

If you give birth to a child but don't teach him, what is the point of his birth?

Outside the court, the onlookers were also in an uproar after hearing Wang Zhongjin's words. Some even gasped and talked in low voices.

Hu Yuhao and Ji Xiangfeng stood aside, frowning, but did not interrupt, because they knew that the adults had thousands of ways to punish Wang Zhongjin.

Sure enough, as Wang Zhongjin finished speaking, Zhang Feimo's face became extremely cold, he slowly raised his hand, and slammed the gavel heavily...

“Pah…”

The deafening sound made the entire court quiet down instantly.

"Wang Zhongjin roared in court and insulted the imperial officials. According to the law, he should be punished with five strokes of the cane. Execute immediately!"

After saying this, Zhang Feimo stared at Wang Zhongjin coldly again and continued: "Wang Zhongjin, I will ask you again, do you admit your guilt?"

Wang Zhongjin was stunned and didn't react for a long time. What is the meaning of the five-stroke punishment? Who dares to hit him?

He turned his head to look at Wang Hao and Li Yayu, only to see that they kept shaking their heads at him.

What does it mean to just shake your head and not say anything?

In an attempt to prove his identity, Wang Zhongjin stiffened his neck and said, "Bah! You dog official, do you know who you are talking to?"

Zhang Feimo said no more and gave the order in a cold voice: "Wang Zhongjin knows no crime, so give him five more strokes of the cane. Come, execute him immediately according to the law!"

"Yes!" The four bailiffs answered in unison.

Then they stepped forward, two of them held down Wang Zhongjin's shoulders, and the other two held water and fire sticks, with two people standing on the left and right.

"One..." As the yamen runner shouted loudly, he smashed the fire stick in his hand fiercely...

"Bang...ah..." The dull sound of a stick hitting the target was accompanied by a loud shout from Wang Zhongjin.

His body trembled violently, cold sweat broke out on his forehead instantly, and his face turned pale.

"Stop...ah...stop...it hurts..."

"two!"

"three!"

…

The boards fell heavily on Wang Zhongjin's buttocks and legs one after another. At first, he was still holding on, biting his teeth and shouting to stop.

But when he was hit by the second stick, his face had turned from red to white, and his lips were bitten with blood marks.

Wang Hao and Li Yayu on the side were even more distressed, but they did not dare to speak again.

As far as they were concerned, their son hadn't said anything just now, and normally, it was impossible for them to punish him so severely.

Especially Li Yayu, even though she usually has her own ideas, she is panicking at this moment.

My mind has gone blank.

She never dreamed that her son, who usually couldn't bear to scold her even loudly, would suffer such a misfortune today.

Seeing his son being beaten, Li Yayu secretly swore that he would make Zhang Fei pay back double.

"Six..."

"Ah... it hurts..." Finally, Wang Zhongjin couldn't bear it anymore. His body trembled violently a few times and he fainted from the pain.
