For a moment, he didn't know how to make a decision.
"Sir, why don't I step in and help you make the decision?"
Suddenly, a man's voice came from outside the main hall.
All eyes turned to that direction.
Wan Qiqi knew someone would come to help, but she was still somewhat surprised when she saw the two people approaching.
The newcomer was none other than the vanished Tang Rong, accompanied by a young man with sallow skin.
After examining it closely, Wan Qiqi's astonishment deepened, and she called out uncertainly, "Fang Bowen?"
Fang Bowen bowed to Wan Qiqi, then removed his waist tag and said, "Fang Bowen, the county magistrate of Sui County, Yuzhou, greets Lord Xie."
Wan Qiqi was stunned.
She remembered when Fang Bowen was demoted to the frontier and became the county magistrate of Sui County.
However, she was also happy about it.
When Fang Bowen returned, he even became a county magistrate, which meant that Fang Luxue now had a powerful backer.
"Bowen?" Tang Bingfeng called out uncertainly.
Fang Bowen ignored Tang Bingfeng, handed his waist token to the yamen runner, and said, "Sir Xie, Fang Bowen wants to sue my uncle Tang Bingfeng for harming my father first and imprisoning my mother and sister..."
His words left many people present stunned into silence.
First, Wan Qiqi accused Tang Bingfeng of murdering Wu Gousheng, and now Fang Bowen is accusing Tang Bingfeng of screaming Fang Ziming.
Xie Xing looked at Wan Qiqi and was so angry he laughed.
He hadn't expected Wan Qiqi to be so extravagant; she was trying to drag him down from his position as well!
But at this moment, he had no way to stop.
If he openly helps Tang Bingfeng at this moment, he will inevitably be regarded as an accomplice.
But if he doesn't help Tang Bingfeng, Tang Bingfeng will inevitably drag him down with him.
Xie Xing hesitated for a long time before saying, "Lord Fang, this matter is of great importance and is related to the former magistrate. I am unable to investigate the case. How about we suspend it for now and wait until I report to Liangzhou before making a decision?"
As the words "Lord Fang" were spoken, many of the old friends in the hall were filled with a myriad of emotions.
I never imagined that after Lord Fang Ziming passed away, his son Fang Bowen would one day be called "Lord Fang" in the Yunhe County government office.
But Wan Qiqi didn't care about any of that at the moment.
The trial of Xie Xing has been suspended, which is bound to lead to unforeseen circumstances. This matter must be resolved today.
She looked at Fang Bowen, feeling that his presence meant there must be a way to keep things going.
Just then, voices came from outside the Mingtang Hall.
"No need. I already know the situation in Yunhe County. Let's proceed with the trial!"
