While Lin Tongxi and others were preparing for the trial, Shen Xingyao had already led most of the disciples of Chengtian Academy to escort the three madmen back to Chengtian Academy.
As for Pang Ling, Shen Xingyao left some disciples to guard Pang Ling.
After learning that the three lunatics were captured by Chengtian Academy, Pang Ling was devastated.
He originally had one red pill. If it was still in his body, he could have fought to the death.
But after thinking it over again and again, he handed it over to his most trusted servant and asked him to guard the hiding place of the three madmen to the death.
Unfortunately, the servant ultimately failed to live up to his expectations.
"Brother Pang! What's wrong with you! Doesn't your Pang family have someone up there?" Jin Guangyuan grabbed the railing and shouted at Pang Ling in the cell opposite.
Pang Ling muttered to himself, almost madly. He had worked so hard for so long, but in the end he turned into a shadow.
Tian Jingye, who was standing by, had already seen the plight of the three families and advised Jin Guangyuan to accept his fate: "Manager Jin, give up. Chengtian Academy has taken action. I'm afraid our three families can't escape this disaster."
"How...how could this happen...all the money I've earned...is it all gone?" Jin Guangyuan sat dejectedly on the ground, refusing to accept his fate. He accused the two family heads, "It's all your fault...if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been so possessed. I'm reporting you! Someone! Someone!"
Tian Jingye sneered, "We are all in the same boat. It's a little too late to jump ship now."
After a while, the bailiffs took the three family heads out.
In the afternoon, in front of the Ruihe Town Government Office, many townspeople gathered under the stage, waiting for the second trial to begin.
Although this case was presided over by Chen Yunxuan, he wore a mask all day today to avoid being recognized by the disciples of Chengtian Academy.
"This case will be judged by a five-member panel, with me personally serving as the presiding judge."
"Zhen Guhan and Li Yongnian are deputy judges, responsible for assisting in the trial. Lin Tongxi is the assistant judge, responsible for consultation. Su Ruoxue is the clerk, responsible for record keeping. Yue Lingyun is the head of the police station, responsible for maintaining order. Yan Chenghong is the government representative, responsible for prosecution."
"The defendants in this case are the Pang, Tian, and Jin families, with their heads of families representing them."
"Yan Chenghong, you will be the first to introduce the case!"
Chief Constable Yan Chenghong stepped forward and listed the bad things the three families had done recently.
According to the intelligence collected by Qingshi Village and Anjifang, these three families have done many bad things, such as collecting protection fees, bullying men and women, etc.
Of course, the biggest evil was naturally leading people to besiege the government office just now.
If it weren't for the support of Chengtian Academy, Lin Tongxi might not have dared to take such a high-profile action against the Pang family.
However, the three madmen imprisoned by the Pang family became the fatal weakness of their branch of the Pang family.
If the branch family becomes involved with the Xianhun Sect, the main family of the Pang family will definitely choose to abandon it. They don't need to ruin the future of their main family for the sake of a branch family.
Pang Ling knew that he was destined to become a pawn of the Pang family, so he took all the blame on himself without mentioning his family at all.
Of course, Lin Tongxi and Chen Yunxuan knew that what Pang Ling said was half true and half false, and his crimes were definitely not his alone.
But the most important thing right now is to quickly determine the crimes of the three families and then reshuffle the structure of Ruihe Town.
Therefore, Lin Tongxi and others did not pursue this matter too much, and the rest just needed to be left to Chengtian Academy to confirm.
After confirming the biggest crime, Yan Chenghong went on to tell the crimes committed by Pang Ling and Pang Shizhu.
Pang Ling admitted everything, but Pang Shizhu was still making excuses.
But the evidence was conclusive and Pang Shizhu had no room for sophistry, not to mention that his Pang family would definitely abandon them and split up the family.
"Dad...why don't you speak for me!" Pang Shizhu pleaded crying.
Pang Ling was completely disappointed with his useless son. If this rebellious son had not been so conspicuous, his plan might not have been ruined.
If it weren't for this rebellious son who sent Zhang Zhongjie to participate in the human trafficking business, he would not have harbored grudges against the government, and would not have participated in the siege of Lin Tongxi and others!
"Dad! Am I so unimportant in your eyes? After all, I am your only child!" Pang Shizhu continued to cry and make a fuss.
Seeing Pang Shizhu lose his composure like this, the people in the audience talked about it and laughed at Pang Shizhu's performance.
Unfilial son! Unfilial son! All the face he had saved was gone in an instant!
In a rage, Pang Ling spat out a mouthful of blood.
The trial was temporarily suspended and Pang Ling, the head of the Pang family, was taken away for treatment.
But the trial result remained unaffected. Pang Shizhu was found guilty and sentenced to twenty years in prison.
When everyone heard this, they all applauded and cheered. This damn second-generation rich kid finally got what he deserved!
In addition, Niu Chongtian and Ma Xunliu from the Pang family also received the punishment they deserved.
Seeing Pang Shizhu's ugly appearance, Tian Jingye sneered. Fortunately, his descendants were not as prodigal as Pang Ling's son.
Yan Chenghong then talked about the crimes of the Tian family. Among the three families, the crimes committed by the Tian family were relatively minor. Apart from besieging government offices, abusing lynching, and hoarding goods, they had no other crimes.
"Hmph... I admit to all these crimes. But there is one thing I would like to ask you to understand, my descendants are not involved in this matter. Please do not punish innocent people." Tian Jingye readily admitted his crimes, perhaps he could even keep another way out for his Tian family.
Lin Tongxi naturally understood the other party's calculations, and then produced evidence to confirm the fact that some of his descendants were involved.
Of course, there were indeed some members of the Tian family who did not participate, and Lin Tongxi did not intend to implicate the innocent, so he sentenced them truthfully.
