Just two days after the new rules were established, the atmosphere of Jiangcheng County Government had been changed. The originally lazy and casual atmosphere was completely gone. All the servants arrived at the government office early and started to get busy. They could no longer see those idle people who were busy watching plays and drinking tea. Even if they really had no errands to do, they had to pretend to pick up some documents to read.

Not only did everyone have a change on the surface, but they also became more awe of the magistrate of Wei County and dared not take his orders seriously as before.

So as the situation came naturally, Wei Liang took advantage of the situation and asked to try the Zhuang Hong case again with an order. This time, no one dared to object in person, and even Feng Ping did not dare to stop him. However, after knowing this decision, his face became extremely gloomy, because he knew that the control of the county government was about to change hands completely.

When Zhuang Hong was taken to the second hall, he looked calm and even felt a little proud. He was not at a glance when he saw the posture in the hall and was not expecting the government officials. But at this moment, there was a servant beside him shouting in a deep voice: "Don't you kneel down to be tried!"

Zhuang Dianshi, who had just stood still, was even more shocked, but just as he was stunned, someone had already knocked hard at the knee in the back, making his legs weak and he unconsciously kneel down. His knee fell heavily, causing him to scream and scream, but the impact in his heart was even better than the pain in his body, which made him feel a little nervous and panic.

In just a few days, why did the county yamen undergo earth-shaking changes? I was able to control the overall situation when I passed by the court a year ago, but now I am really imprisoned? He looked around and found that the people were still those people, but their expressions were different. The servants holding sticks on both sides all had tense faces, and they didn't even look at the ends of their eyes, as if they were just an ordinary person.

The person sitting in front of the case was not the familiar criminal clerk, but Li Ling, the hateful guy who put him in trouble. What happened to him actually made him feel extremely unfamiliar with the county government...

"Bang!" A sound of the agglomeration fell interrupted Zhuang Hong's thoughts, and Wei Liang's majestic voice also arose: "Zhuang Hong, now that the matter has come to court, you still dare to be so arrogant, look around, do you really think that I dare not deal with you? Let me ask you, are you willing to admit the sins you mentioned before today?"

Feeling the pressure, Zhuang Hong was shocked, then calmed down a little, looked up at Magistrate Wei and said, "The lower official was wronged, and all the accusations before were nonsense."

"Bold!" Wei Liang slapped the aggro again and shouted sternly: "At this point, you still want to deny it. Do you really think that this official is so easy to fool? Is the evidence of many witnesses fake?"

With his anger, the officers on both sides lit the ground with water and fire sticks at the same time, and all shouted the mighty long drinks, which made the atmosphere in the hall tighter and put enough pressure on Zhuang Hong. His body trembled again, and his face turned a little white. This scene was indeed beyond his expectations.

A sequel voice came from above again: "Zhuang Hong, don't think that if you don't recognize me, you can do nothing to you. You must know that the people's hearts are like iron but there are official laws like furnaces! If you never repent, you can only be punished, but you don't know how long you can last!"

As soon as the magistrate of Wei said this, someone on the left and right threw all the torture instruments such as sticks and other torture instruments in front of Zhuang Hong, making his face pale. His eyes were fixed on those things that were actually very familiar, but he felt a little scared.

Feeling his mind fluctuations, Wei Liang seized the opportunity and shouted again: "Zhuang Hong, today is your last chance. If you refuse to recruit, don't blame me for not remembering the love of that day! Do you ask, or don't admit it? Do you admit it or not?"

Zhuang Hong knelt on the ground, his face changing constantly as his mind was changing, and he was making the final weighing. He could feel the changes in the county government office and could clearly detect the strong murderous intent from the county magistrate. He was smart and had already understood some of the inside story. It was obvious that the government office should have already taken action, so Wei Liang seemed so anxious that he even threatened himself with punishment.

So if you really have to endure it and refuse to admit it, everything will turn around. But... If the other party really puts his heart and acts as a big punishment on himself, can he really withstand it? That is to bet on his life. Even if the other party dares not really beat him to death, the pain of falling on his body is not something that Zhuang Dianshi can bear.

If it were the county government offices in the past, Zhuang Hong was not afraid of being punished because he believed that others would do anything to the point of being punished so that he would not suffer too much. But now, the situation is completely different. He has clearly felt the indifference from everyone. Once they really let them do it, they are afraid that they will suffer a lot.

After such considerations, Zhuang Hong finally decided that the hero would not suffer the immediate loss and confess his crime. Moreover, he believed that there would be another turnaround in this matter, and the government office would inevitably take action at that time, and he could still regret it!

Thinking of this, Zhuang Hong looked up again and said, "The officials knew that they were guilty. I did have many corruptions for my position before, and I also accepted a lot of bribes from others, which led to the many industries and fertile lands of my banker..."

Since he decided to confess his guilt, he had no choice but to conceal all the charges. He immediately admitted all the charges. After hearing what he said, the head-in-chief Wei County Magistrate finally calmed down, and listened quietly, looking at Li Ling, who was recording on the side from time to time, and found that he had written quickly, obviously recording everything.

Li Ling was also filled with joy. Now, every time Zhuang Hong confessed, his crime would be re-invigorated. As long as all the crimes were implemented and reported to the superiors, it would not be so easy even if the government office deliberately re-examined them. After all, this Wei County Magistrate is not an ordinary person, and even the prefect dares to make enemies with him easily.

It was already settled, and Li Ling even felt that he was sure to win. But suddenly, Zhuang Hong, who had confessed many crimes, changed the subject: "There is another thing, and the officials should admit it here."

"Hmm? But what's the matter?"

"That's more than ten years ago about the donation of jute silk cloth produced by the tribute of jadeite silk cloth in Jiangcheng County and the surrounding four counties. In the past few days, the officials have been reflecting in prison and finally remembering what happened." Speaking of this, Zhuang Hong looked at Li Ling who had a slightly discolored color, and showed a sneer in his eyes, "My father was forced by Shangguan at that time, and finally decided to sacrifice the people of my county against his conscience to make the other counties benefit. In fact, the father was always worried about this matter. Until he passed away, he was still telling me that once I had the chance, I would take back everything I had paid for for the elders of Jiangcheng, and I could not let them suffer such a big loss!

"Although many officials and people who participated in this matter have died that day, there are still some people in the court. For example, He Bizhen, the former county magistrate who first proposed that the people of Jiangcheng County, was the current doctor of the Ministry of Works, and Huang Wenyue, the prefect at that time, and now the governor of Huguang... I believe these adults are also guilty, thinking that one day they will make the truth public and give the people of Jiangcheng a fair one!"

After saying this, especially after the names of the big guys who are still in court are slowly revealed by Zhuang Hong, everyone in the hall has become serious. The county magistrate Wei, who was originally sure to win, looked at Zhuang Hong with a gloomy look, and wanted to ask him, what do you mean?

Zhuang Hong had completely changed his expression at this moment, looking at Wei Liang with a smile, and then looking at Li Ling provocatively. His eyes seemed to be shouting: "Don't you want to punish me, don't you want me to admit all the crimes? Then I'm as you wish, just look at whether you have the courage to report them truthfully!"

Li Ling's brows were also locked deeply. At that time last year, he had no other way, so he had to take out the donation of jute to intimidate the yamen. However, this matter has become his own trouble and the most advantageous weapon used by Zhuang Hong to deal with Wei Liang.

How could those arrogant bosses hope that the scandal that happened many years ago would be exposed? Once this happened, Wei Liang would inevitably endure hostility and suppression from all sides, and even himself might be implicated.

As the saying goes, the butt determines the head. It is really hard to investigate this matter at this time. Even the magistrate of Wei, who has always claimed to be upright, also looked embarrassed at this time, and he was determined not to record this matter on the record.

Zhuang Hong saw their expressions and behaviors. They were no longer polite at the moment. They looked at Wei Liang and said, "Mr. Wei, I have already made all the crimes you asked me to confess. If I asked me to make a conceal later, I, Zhuang Hong, would not refuse. But I have to say one thing. If there is any difference in this testimony, I will not sign and cover it if there is more or less of the crime!"

OK, he cut off Li Ling and the others' retreat this time, and Wei Liang was not good at really picking things. After all, this time it was Zhuang Hong who really took the word "Ru"!

I heard that Jiang is old, but Li Ling didn't take it seriously. Until today, he has truly learned the skillful methods of these veteran officials. He and Wei Liang were still a little tender when they put them in front of these old foxes who had been immersed in the yamen for many years.

In the end, Li Ling did not dare to delete his confession, so he listed all the charges clearly, and then handed them over to the county magistrate for a look. After he nodded with difficulty, he took the sneering Zhuang Hong. After he saw the content behind him, he signed the seal.
