Su Yang was calm and collected. His words were firm, and his aura was even more oppressive.
Zhang Zhiwu felt the sword intent that wrapped around him, and wisps of sword intent streaked across his body. It was as if as long as Su Yang thought about it, he would be torn apart.
What a terrifying sword intent… Countless thoughts flew through Zhang Zhiwu's mind.
He could not provoke Su Yang. This matter, let Su Yang fight with the Li family. It might not be a bad thing for him to be able to win.
"Alright." After saying this, Zhang Zhiwu left like a deflated ball. This was the first time he had suffered a loss at the hands of his subordinates since he became a commander.
Outside the hall, Zhang Qing saw Zhang Zhiwu coming out and quickly went forward to welcome him.
Seeing Zhang Zhiwu's dark face, Zhang Qing did not dare to say anything more and obediently sent Zhang Zhiwu out. However, Zhang Zhiwu didn't say a word throughout the whole process and left just like that.
Zhang Qing was very puzzled. This appearance…He was very familiar with it, but it was impossible…
Did he suffer a defeat? Did he lose in the hands of their commanding officer?
He didn't understand and didn't dare to ask.
That night, Li Yijiang received news from Zhang Zhiwu. He told him that he couldn't do it.
The news was very normal and did not even reveal Su Yang's abnormality. Perhaps…This commander was also helpless most of the time.
When Li Yijiang swept a glance over, the indifferent expression on his face instantly disappeared. He slapped the table fiercely.
"Bang!" The four corners of the table could not withstand the huge force and instantly collapsed.
"Useless! You collected so much money, can't even squeeze out a single person from your subordinates!"
"What a good Weapon Master of Spring Wind Street…I want to see how capable you are!"
"Someone, tell Old Hei that I want to fertilize the peach tree."
...
"Grandpa…Grandpa!" Liu Yurou rushed home happily.
"What's so good that you're so happy?" Liu Congshan smiled."
Liu Yurou immediately restrained her expression, but the corners of her mouth still couldn't help but curl up, "How do you know it's a good thing? I haven't even said it yet."
Liu Congshan shook his head. His granddaughter was laughing so hard that her lips were about to crack, "Alright, alright. Tell me about it. What's the matter?"
Liu Yurou couldn't contain her impatience and said with a joyful smile, "Li Ming has been arrested!"
"Hmm?" Liu Congshan was taken aback. "Which Li Ming?"
Liu Yurou muttered, "Grandpa, are you getting old and confused? It's Li Ming, the third son of the Li family, the owner of those arrogant lackeys we encountered yesterday!"
Liu Congshan did not leave the house after the incident yesterday, so he did not know about this news. However, even if he heard it now, he felt that it was somewhat impossible, "Where did you hear that? Who caught him?"
Seeing that Liu Congshan didn't believe her, Liu Yurou told him what she saw and heard today.
...
"The Weapon Master of Spring Wind Street?" Initially, Liu Congshan still felt that it was impossible. However, Liu Yurou said that Li Ming would be publicly judged in Spring Wind Hall today, and anyone who was wronged could come forward to file a complaint. This made Liu Congshan believe it even more.
"Grandpa, does this mean that we don't have to go to the Li family to refine medicine?"
"Yes, let's go to Spring Wind Hall today."
...
As time passed, what Su Yang did and said yesterday spread throughout Pingshan City. Regardless of whether they believed it or not, they all planned to come to Spring Wind Hall to take a look. If it was fake, he would treat it as a joke. If it was really…That was really satisfying!
How many people had been oppressed by the Li family? How many people had been bullied by the third young master of the Li family, Li Ming? If Li Ming did not have an eighth-grade martial artist by his side at all times, he would have died many times over.
It was too difficult for ordinary people in this world… They couldn't even perish together.
The public trial was at noon. It was supposed to be lunchtime, and every family should be eating at home. But outside Spring Wind Hall, it was already surrounded by commoners. They came here today to see if he was a joke or… He could give them justice!
The government was the only backing that commoners could rely on. If it collapsed…The civilians' trust in the government would also collapse.
Spring Wind Hall was open. Because the public trial had not begun, there were only some people on duty. They looked at the impenetrable scene outside the door and had an unprecedented feeling in their hearts.
They raised their heads and looked at the stone pillars on the left and right.
[For Justice]
[For the people]
It seemed like they had never lived up to these words.
But did they not want to? The four people on duty at Spring Wind Hall tightened their grip on their rods.
...
The sun gradually hung high in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it was almost in the sky. Zhang Qing pushed open the courtyard door and came to Su Yang, who was waving his sword.
"Sir, it's almost noon."
Su Yang put away his sword, "Hmm, tell Zhang Hu to escort Li Ming and Li Heizi to Spring Wind Hall." After saying that, Su Yang tidied up and left.
Zhang Qing could not be put in an important position. It was fine to give an order now, but when there was a confidant later, Su Yang would naturally replace him.
...
"Make way! Make way! Move aside!"
Accompanied by the clamor, the troops of the Martial Suppression Division pushed Li Ming and Li Heizi through the crowd and arrived at the main hall of Spring Wind Hall. The onlookers widened their eyes in astonishment, witnessing an unbelievable scene.
"This... this is real!"
"Well done!"
"That despicable lackey Li Heizi deserves severe punishment. He's no good person at all!"
For a moment, everyone around was filled with exhilarating words.
Li Ming did not care about the noise around him. He walked calmly towards Spring Wind Hall. Even now, he was still not flustered.
In Spring Breeze Hall, Su Yang sat in the high hall, "Bring the criminals Li Ming and Li Heizi to court."
The two people outside the door were brought into the hall.
Outside Spring Breeze Hall, Liu Yurou looked at the main seat and said, "Grandpa, is that the Weapon Master of Spring Wind Street, Su Yang?"
Although Liu Congshan had never seen Su Yang before, the only person who could sit on the main seat at this time was Su Yang.
"Yes."
"So young, and so handsome."
.....
"In the year 455 of the Daxia calendar, on the seventh day of the sixth month, the household servants were coerced into selling their 17 plots of prime farmland at prices ten times below the market value. Those who resisted had their legs broken, and the contracts were forcefully enforced. According to the investigation, all of this was orchestrated by Li Ming and carried out by Li Heizi."
"In the year 455 of the Daxia calendar, on the tenth day of the seventh month, the 7th shop on Chunfeng Street was purchased at a low price. When the shopkeeper refused, his son was thrown into the river the next day. After an investigation, it was revealed that Li Ming had instructed Li Heizi to carry out these actions."
"In the year 455 of the Daxia calendar, on the thirteenth day of the eleventh month, the herbalists in Pingdingshan were forcibly controlled through violence, and their medicinal herbs were acquired at low prices. Those who resisted all disappeared. According to the investigation, this was all instigated by Li Ming and executed by Li Heizi."
"In the year 456 of the Daxia calendar..."
"Snap!"
In the end, Su Yang slapped the Awakening Wood and shouted in a low voice, "There are a total of seventeen cases, and you were involved in all of them."
Li Ming narrowed his eyes and said calmly," I protest. I didn't do any of this."
Su Yang said indifferently, "Your protests are invalid. The evidence for these things is conclusive."
Li Ming's heart was filled with anger, and the veins on his forehead bulged. For the first time, the indifference in his heart was broken.
"Are there any grievances outside the court? If there are, you can beat the drum and come in to complain. This official will definitely give justice to the aggrieved today!"
