If he were convicted of this crime, not only would he die, but his wife and children would also die.
As a fourth-rank official, his crime was even more serious.
"Mr. Zhang, you are too kind. I... I... I..."
Faced with Zhang Feimo's question, Wang Haochen didn't know how to answer him for a moment.
Zhang Feimo sneered and interrupted Wang Haochen and asked:
"Sir Wang, there is irrefutable evidence that my brother has committed murder. I want to execute him now. Do you have any objection?"
"Lord Wang? Is there a Lord Wang in Heshan County?" Before Wang Haochen could speak, Chi Zixuan, who had been silent, spoke first.
At the same time, he interrupted Wang Haochen again.
Wang Haochen: “…” He is now very sure that he cannot escape death this time.
This family is obviously protective of their own people. He has neither seen nor heard of the methods used by Master Zi and Anning County Magistrate.
"As far as I know, the county magistrate of a county is the head of the county. If he is not a prefect, why would he interfere in the affairs of a county magistrate? Is it just because he is a fourth-rank official, which is higher than the county magistrate? Does this allow him to do whatever he wants?"
Zhang Zifu spoke, and his words were full of the intention of defending his son Zhang Feimo.
Wang Haochen was asked one question after another and it was difficult for him to answer or not answer.
I don't even know what to say.
But what Zhang Zifu said was true, and it was indeed the case.
Even though Wang Haochen was the Minister of Personnel, he could not hinder a county magistrate from making a judgment.
Only the county magistrate has this qualification.
"Fourth uncle and father are right. I think so too. But when I was beheading Wang Haotian, Wang Haochen tried to stop me many times. The people below were injured by the twelve golden sword guards beside him. I don't need to say this. The people below can testify to this."
As soon as Zhang Feimo's words came out, the people below immediately became restless.
"Yes, yes, they were the ones who killed him. He also wanted to kill our Lord Zhang."
"We ask Anning County to give us justice."
"Please, Master, give us justice and kill them. Kill the whole Wangfu family."
"It was Wang Haotian, he killed my father..."
"Wang Haotian also killed my daughter..."
"They relied on their eldest brother who was a 4th-rank official to do whatever they wanted in Heshan County, and have been doing evil for many years..."
"For so many years, we have been suffering under their clutches. It is rare to see the Anning County Government now, so please ask the Anning County Government to uphold justice for us..."
"Kill him, kill them..."
"......"
At the end of the speech, all the people knelt down and begged Jian Xiu, Chi Zixuan and others.
Looking at such people, not to mention Zhang Feimo, even Jian Xiu felt heartbroken.
She didn't even know how the people of Heshan County had survived all these years and how they had been oppressed.
"All of you should stand up. There is no need to kneel and kowtow at every turn. It is our duty to uphold justice for you. You should kneel to your blood relatives, the elders who gave birth to you, raised you, taught you by words and deeds, and not to me."
Jian Xiu spoke very seriously to the people below.
Then he pointed at the injured civilians lying on the ground and asked, "They are injured, do you want a doctor?"
After this question was asked, no one spoke for a long time. Everyone seemed to be afraid of Jian Xiu.
Finally, Xu Gaoyuan stood up and replied respectfully: "Go back to Anning County. Someone has already gone to invite you."
