Soon, all the people about this murder case were sent to the county government by the Prime Minister's Office. The news that Zhou Jing came to supervise the trial in person spread wildly. This case itself was a dispute between famous scholars in Suiyang and ordinary people, and naturally attracted a lot of attention from the people. Will this new county magistrate who made a case like a god be as selfless as ever, or will he bow to the powerful and nobles?

Although Ye Zhao had no evil with the Suiyang gentry, Li Yong's case made the people feel that Ye Zhao was a good official who was not afraid of the powerful. In the eyes of everyone, this case was as proof as a mountain. No other result would be achieved, neither the prime minister nor the county government. The only possible accident was Zhang Xiang and other off-site forces.

"Mr. Ye County Magistrate, this case is of great importance. The entire Suiyang people are very concerned about it. The people's hearts are terrifying!" Zhou Jing still looked at Ye Zhao with concern.

But Ye Zhao could sense a little bit of sarcasm in Zhou Jing's tone.

"Don't worry, Zhao will definitely handle this case impartially." Ye Zhao nodded and said.

"It's so good." Zhou Jing smiled with satisfaction, looked at Zhang Xiang, but did not come forward to greet him, and sat directly beside Ye Zhao, closing his eyes and saying no more.

"Take the suspect and the plaintiff and his group to the court." Everyone sat down, Ye Zhao slapped the table and said loudly.

A county guard brought Zhang Wu, the son of Zhang Xiang, and a crying woman to the court.

"Mr. Qiu, let me tell you about the incident in detail." Ye Zhao looked at Qiu Chi beside him and signaled him to repeat the case.

"Here!" Qiu Chi bowed and spread a roll of bamboo paper to recite the case loudly.

Zhang Wu is the son of Zhang Hun. He is a heroic person and wants to make friends with heroes. Yesterday morning, he took his servants to the market and planned to buy some ground meat to go back to the banquet, but he had an argument with the butcher Zhang San. Both sides refused to give in to each other, and the argument eventually turned into a fight. During the fight, Zhang Wu accidentally slashed the butcher's leg and bleeding profusely. After returning home, he died of excessive bleeding that evening.

"Zhang Wu, the county magistrate said, is there any falsehood?" Ye Zhao looked at Zhang Wu kneeling on the ground and said in a deep voice.

"No." Zhang Wu shook his head and said bitterly.

"In other words, do you admit that you killed someone?" Ye Zhao asked again.

"I just slashed him, and I never thought that anyone would die at that time." Zhang Wu said in a low voice.

"In theory, since you are injured, you should go to see a doctor. Zhang, why not?" Ye Zhao looked at the crying woman and asked with a frown.

"I am back, my husband is unruly by nature. After being injured, the civilian woman wanted to take him to the doctor to treat him, but the husband was unwilling to do so. The civilian woman had to take care of him without taking off her clothes and taking care of him. In the evening, the husband finally never took it and died." Zhang said crying.

Ye Zhao looked at Zhang carefully and smiled and said, "You are a bit beautiful woman. It is also a blessing for the butcher Zhang to marry you."

Ye Zhao's topic was a little stiff. Zhang didn't know how to answer the conversation. He looked at Ye Zhao for a moment and didn't know what to say.

"Cough~" Zhou Jing, who was beside him, coughed lightly and said: "Mr. Ye, he is in the court at this moment, so don't talk about any topics that have nothing to do with this case."

"Yes." Ye Zhao nodded and looked at Zhang Wu and said, "Zhang Wu, although you hurt people with a sharp weapon, it is an unintentional mistake, but it has indeed caused a death. What do you want to make excuses?"

"I'm... I have nothing to say." Zhang Wu closed his eyes and said in pain.

"Okay, kill someone to pay for his life, and pay the debts. I will sentence you to death in the autumn. After I write the official document and submit it to the court, I will execute the execution immediately! The person who comes, will first cut Zhang Wu into prison." Ye Zhao slapped the auspicious tree and said loudly.

"Envoy..." Although Zhang Xiang was mentally prepared, after Ye Zhao made a judgment, he still stood up in shock, and then sat down dejectedly. For a moment, he seemed to be haggard and ten years old.

"Eunuch, is there any hidden information in this case?" Chen Bai, who was standing beside him, frowned and looked at Ye Zhao.

"The ironclad evidence is as strong as a mountain. Even Zhang Wu himself admitted it, and I can't do anything." Ye Zhao shook his head, turned his head to look at Zhou Jing on the side and bowed, "What do you think, Master?"

"Yes." Zhou Jing nodded and said, "Mr. Ye is indeed a god to decide the case!"

Ye Zhao turned his head and looked at Zhang and said, "Poor woman, you can go home and arrange your husband's funeral."

"Thank you, Envoy." The woman hurriedly thanked Ye Zhao, looked at Zhang Xiang and others with some fear, and left in panic.

"Since that's the case, I should say goodbye." Seeing that the case was settled, Zhou Jing stood up and smiled.

"Prince, please wait." Ye Zhao saw that the woman had gone away and the onlookers had dispersed, so he reached out to stop Zhou Jing, turned his head to look at Jiang Sheng and Fang Yue and said, "Prince Jiang, Fang Yue, you two follow the woman, don't be discovered by her. If she did not go home after leaving the county government, but met others, you will immediately arrest the woman and the person who met her. If she went home, there was no need to continue tracking and return to the county government to report."

"Here!" Jiang Sheng and Fang Yue agreed, turned around and left.

"Mr. Ye, what does this mean?" Zhou Jing looked at Ye Zhao in confusion, and Zhang Xiang and others on the side also looked at him.

"It's hard to say now, but there are still some suspicious points in this case that have not been clarified." Ye Zhao shook his head: "It's necessary to wait until Jiang Sheng and Fang Yue come back to report it before the case can be concluded."

A sense of hope reappeared in Zhang Xiang's eyes, but Zhou Jing's face became bad, and he looked at Ye Zhao and said, "Mr. Ye has received some benefits from this statement, so he is unwilling to close the case? In my opinion, this case is as proof as a mountain and there is no need to continue wasting time."

"It won't delay the Duke for too long." Ye Zhao smiled and said, "It's related to human life. Even if there is only a slight mistake, Zhao dares not be hasty."

"The envoy said it is right, it is related to human life, the Lord of the Mansion!" Zhang Xiang stood up, hunched over and bowed to Zhou Jing and said, "If I had any offense in the past, I would like to apologize to the Lord of the Mansion. I only ask the Lord of the Mansion not to cut off my Zhang family incense!"

"Bastard!" Zhou Jing's expression changed drastically and he shouted sternly: "How could I depose the public for personal gain??"

"Mr. Zhang is also eager to save his son. If you are confused, don't take it seriously." Ye Zhao smiled and said, "It will take only a quarter of an hour to go back and forth from Zhang's butcher's house. It will not waste too much time on the Fujun."
