Of the Ten Evils of Mangdang Mountain, six had been killed by Li Shixian, and in the lobby of Laigu County, the other three were waiting for Xie Tingwen to sentence them to death.

The three of them looked at each other, knowing that this was a dead end.

With years of tacit understanding, the three of them understood each other's thoughts with just a glance. Their eyes changed, trying to fight for a chance of survival.

As the three men lowered their heads, no one in the main hall noticed anything unusual. Just as Xie Tingwen stood up to pronounce the verdict, Chen Xiong shouted loudly.

"Do it."

Zhang Xiu and Wu Chu took advantage of the force and leaped forward, heading straight for Xie Tingwen. Chen Xiong turned sideways, knocked down a yamen runner, and snatched the water and fire stick to protect the two of them.

In a flash, something unexpected happened. Just when the two were about to succeed, Li Shixian in the back hall frowned and threw two copper coins out from behind the screen.

"Bang!~

With two crisp sounds, Zhang Xiu and Wu Chu instantly fell to the ground from the air, accompanied by continuous wailing that made people's scalps numb.

At the moment when the two were hit, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the originally dazed Zhang Lei, but this look disappeared in an instant and was not noticed by anyone.

Seeing the bandages on the two men's legs turning red again, Chen Xiong said fiercely, "Li Shixian! If you have the guts, we will turn into ghosts and come back to find you to avenge today's revenge."

"A fierce ghost?"

Li Shixian sneered across the screen and said, "If there really are ghosts, I will ask a magician to perform a ritual to disperse your souls so that you can't even become ghosts. This is the only way to commemorate those who died unjustly in the past."

No matter whether it was people in the hall or in the courtyard, they couldn't help but gasp after hearing what Li Shixian said.

They did not know about the evil deeds done by the Ten Evils of Mangdang Mountain. However, just by listening to Li Shixian's remarks, they knew that he was also a ruthless character.

Zhao Zhen listened to the sound like a silver bell, followed the source of the sound, glanced at the screen behind Xie Tingwen and couldn't help wondering: "Kejun! Miss Xie is also listening?"

Yan Shuang raised her eyes, looked at the screen in the main hall, and said softly: "This voice is not Miss Xie's. Didn't the bandit leader just say his name was Li Shixian?"

Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment, looked at the attendant with a hint of suspicion, and said, "Immediately arrange for someone to find out who Li Shixian is."

"I understand." The attendant leaned forward and replied, then quickly walked out of the corner gate of the county government office. After all, they dared not delay the news that their young master wanted to get.

The three villains were about to attack again, but were discovered by the yamen runners who had recovered. As several water and fire sticks were swung, there was a sudden wailing in the main hall.

The yamen runners also tacitly understood each other and hit the three villains' wounds with clubs, causing the three villains, who had already recovered most of their injuries, to suffer new injuries before their old ones were healed.

The main hall was filled with an unpleasant smell of blood for a while.

"Crack!~"

Xie Tingwen slammed the gavel, stared at the three villains in front of him fiercely, and said in a cold voice: "The Ten Evils of Mangdang Mountain have been banditry for many years. In the 22nd year of Jingyun, they killed 63 people in Caojiazhuang, Shouyang County, and they never stopped committing crimes. However, during their escape, they committed hundreds of innocent murders. Now they want to coerce the court officials in court. According to the files of the Ministry of Justice, they will be beheaded and suppressed."

After Xie Tingwen finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the bailiff quickly stepped forward without avoiding everyone and kicked the three villains' wounds again.

Only when the three villains had no strength to refute did the bailiffs carry them out of the main hall and throw them into a prison cart on the side of the courtyard.

Watching the operation of the yamen runners, the corners of the mouths of the people watching the trial could not help but twitch, and at this moment they regretted why they had to watch the trial in the courtyard.

Xie Tingwen did not stop the yamen runners' actions. After all, the three villains were ruthless characters, and they would not dare to move forward unless the hidden dangers were eliminated.

Sun Cheng looked at the three villains who were suppressed, and said with a hesitant look: "Sir! They haven't signed yet, this..."

"Master Sun, don't worry. Six of the Ten Evils of Mount Mangdang have been executed, three are in prison awaiting execution, and I will find the remaining one for you later."

"Yes! I will wait for your instructions, sir." Sun Cheng stroked his hand and said.

In the back hall separated by only a screen, Li Shixian couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing what Xie Tingwen said: "Shu Ting! If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would never find the whereabouts of the last murderer."

Xie Shuting stroked the cup, took a sip of tea and said, "I have to thank Liu Qing for this matter. If it weren't for him, my father and I wouldn't have noticed anything unusual."

"Liu Qing? How could this matter be related to him?" Xie Ningzhi also looked puzzled.

Looking at Xie Ningzhi's slightly silly look, Xie Shuting smiled and said, "The show is about to begin."

"Crack!~"

Xie Tingwen slammed the gavel again and said loudly, "Bring Liu Qing, the county lieutenant of Gu County, to the court."

"Liu...Liu County Lieutenant."

The hall was suddenly in an uproar, everyone lowered their voices and whispered to each other, and the hall instantly became like a vegetable market, it was extremely lively.

Xie Tingwen's face darkened. He slammed the gavel heavily and said, "Silence."

This time, the word "mighty" was not heard.

The yamen runners were all avoiding Xie Tingwen's gaze, and no one cooperated at all.

At this moment, Cao Zhen finally understood Cao Yue's instructions before leaving. He immediately took a step forward and shouted loudly, "My Lord, please be quiet while you are trying the case."

As Cao Zhen's "discordant" voice was heard, a rare silence finally fell in the lobby.

Soon, they heard the sound of shackles being shackled. When they looked over, they found that Liu Qing was being escorted to the lobby by two bodyguards in tight clothes.

Seeing Liu Qing standing upright, Cao Zhen immediately scolded him: "You criminal in the court, why don't you kneel down when you see the adults?"

Liu Qing shook his shoulders and broke free from the escort's restraints. He ignored Cao Zhen's words and looked at Xie Tingwen with a sneer, "Master Xie! Are you going to convict me today?"

"Liu Qing! As the lieutenant of Laigu County, you did not try to arrest the bandits, but instead colluded with the yamen runners to murder the imperial officials. Do you admit this crime?" Xie Tingwen asked coldly.

"Thank you, sir! As I said before, the word 'official' has two parts, so it all depends on you, sir. For this kind of matter that involves three generations of the family, please produce substantial evidence, otherwise I will not accept the verdict." Liu Qing said with a smile.

He completely ignored the charges brought by Xie Tingwen. After all, all the people who should have died were dead, and he, Xie Tingwen, could not testify. This was a vicious circle.

Xie Tingwen's expression was particularly ugly at this moment, because Liu Qing had seized the opportunity, and he could not let his own people come forward to testify, otherwise it would be suspected of false accusation.

The three evil spirits of Mangdang Mountain would not show up. They have been tied to Liu Qing for a long time. As long as Liu Qing is not dead, they still have a chance of survival.

Zhao Zhen looked at the deadlock in the main hall and said with some worry: "Kejun! This situation seems to be unfavorable to Master Xie!"

"Sir! Can't you see that Master Xie is waiting for someone?"

"Waiting for someone?" Zhao Zhen asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Only after Yan Shuang gave a look did Zhao Zhen notice Qi Yue standing in the position where Xie Tingwen was going to attack.

He immediately understood what he meant and said, "I have forgotten about this kid."
