Su Yang looked outside the door. This was the main reason for his public trial. He wanted to find out everything Li Ming had done and let the citizens of Pingshan City who had been bullied come forward to complain. In this way, he could give everyone justice and maximize his mission completion rate.
After seeing that Su Yang was serious, the cheers outside surged like a tsunami. Someone used this momentum to beat the drum.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Come in!"
"I, Li Er, pay my respects to Sir!"
"What grievances do you have? Tell me one by one."
"Thank you, sir!"
"Two months ago, Li Heizi saw that my family had a ten-year-old ginseng, so he brought people to buy it at a low price. I was unwilling, so I snatched it away and even broke my son's leg."
"Do you have any witnesses? There are three people who can guarantee that what you said is true."
"Yes!" Soon, Li Er called three people to vouch for him. This crime was immediately established.
Li Ming stood in the court with a dark expression, but he was calmer than before.
More and more people started to complain. After two hours, Li Ming's crimes had increased from seventeen to twenty-seven.
Those who stood up were the kind who had had enough of being aggrieved and were no longer afraid of death. There might be even more people who did not dare to stand up for fear of the Li family's revenge.
When Su Yang saw this, he immediately announced in court, "According to the laws of Da Xia, Li Ming, and Li Heizi should be executed for their crimes…"
"Wait!" With a loud shout, Li Yijiang walked in from outside."Lord Weapon Master, isn't this trial a little too much?"
When the onlookers saw who it was, their hearts skipped a beat. It was the head of the Li family.
Would there be any changes?
Li Ming heaved a sigh of relief when he saw his father.
"Do you think there's something wrong with the laws of Da Xia?" Su Yang asked coldly. No matter how unbridled or arrogant he was, he did not dare to show his dissatisfaction with Da Xia.
"I don't dare…However, even if he was sentenced to death, according to the rules, he would have to wait for three days." Li Yijiang's gaze was calm as if the one sentenced to death was not his son.
"Of course. Li Ming and Li Heizi will be executed in three days!" Su Yang said indifferently and threw down two orders.
Even if Li Yijiang didn't say that, Su Yang wouldn't be anxious. Since he had touched Li Ming, why would he only kill Li Ming? What he wanted was the entire Li family.
Unfortunately, Li Yijiang was too smart and did not give him a chance.
Su Yang's eyes flashed: "Zhang Hu."
"Here, sir!" Zhang Hu walked out from the side full of energy, his face rosy.
"Bring people to arrest all the accomplices."
"Understood!"
The main criminal was sentenced, but the accomplices had to be arrested as well. After receiving the order, Zhang Hu immediately led a large number of soldiers and rushed toward the Li family.
Li Yijiang did not stop him. He took one last look at Li Ming, and Li Ming also looked at his father. After the two of them exchanged a glance, Li Ming understood what his father meant.
Everyone left, and Li Ming and Li Heizi were also taken away. Halfway there, Li Heizi looked at Li Ming in despair. Things had already developed to this point. Even if Li Ming could be fished out, what about him?
"Third Young Master…I... Can I go out?"
Li Ming was already in a bad mood, and he was even more displeased with Li Heizi's appearance.
"Shut up."
...
The public trial ended. Everyone who participated in this public trial felt like they were in a dream. They looked at the plaque above the court and then looked at Su Yang. For the first time, they felt that there was a real blue sky under the plaque!
In the crowd, someone watched everything indifferently and whispered, "This person is not bad…Noted it down for the time being and looked at the situation later on. The matter was not over yet."
Liu Yurou followed beside Liu Congshan, cheering excitedly, "Grandpa, this Li Ming is really sentenced! Death penalty!"
"Good judgment. And that Li Heizi, good judgment too!" Liu Congshan was over fifty years old and had experienced many things. At this moment, he could not help but smile.
In just one day, the entire Pingshan City was in turmoil. The whole process of the matter was known to the whole city in the blink of an eye. Zhang Hu led nearly a hundred soldiers of Spring Breeze Hall into the Li family and arrested all of Li Ming's subordinates.
There were a total of six streets in Pingshan City, which meant that there were six Weapon Masters and one Commander. Other than Zhang Zhiwu, who knew Su Yang's strength, the other Weapon Masters were all shocked: A mere Weapon Master of the same status as them dared to go against the Li family? Who gave him the courage?
Even the Spring Breeze Hall's martial artists were a little worried. They were worried that this battle would implicate them. Since ancient times, the people at the bottom were the easiest to get hurt in the battles between the higher-ups.
...
"Sir, all the accomplices have been arrested. There are a total of 23 people." Zhang Hu came to Su Yang and reported.
He looked curiously at Su Yang, who was practicing his sword. He didn't know much about this newly appointed Weapon Master. He only knew that he was very strong, but he liked to wield his sword in the courtyard every day.
"Hmm. according to the normal procedure."
"Yes, sir."
In ancient times, the authorities only needed to confirm who the suspect was and arrest him with little evidence. There were witnesses, physical evidence, and reasonable reasoning. As long as there was one thing that could be confirmed, the suspect could be arrested.
Next, the authorities did not need more evidence. They needed the suspect to give a reasonable explanation to prove his innocence. If you can't prove it, then you did it.
After everything was arranged, Su Yang continued to swing his sword in the courtyard.
At night, a figure quietly arrived at the Weapon Master's courtyard.
This person's lightness skill was excellent. He easily flipped over the three-meter-high courtyard wall without making any sound. His purpose here was very simple: to kill Su Yang.
Although Su Yang was an official, as long as he died and did not make a big deal out of it, there were naturally many ways to cover it up.
In the entire Pingshan City, other than Su Yang, the other Weapon Masters were on good terms with the Li family.
Li Hei came to Su Yang's room softly. At this moment, the door opened.
"It's not a good habit to visit in the middle of the night." Su Yang had already enveloped the entire courtyard with his sword intent. Any movement would wake him up.
Li Hei's heart tightened, but he didn't expect to succeed in the assassination. So what if he was discovered? In the face of absolute strength, everything was illusory.
Li Hei chuckled, "You're right, but it's not a good habit to wake up in the middle of the night. Isn't it better to lie down and die peacefully?"
"Oh?" Su Yang revealed a strange smile. "You want me to die? Are you strong enough?"
Li Hei didn't say anything, he just wanted to use his strength to prove it.
With his strength in the Seventh grade, how could he not defeat an Eighth grade Weapon Master?
