The boy could not see the scene of Zhang Xinyue being beaten, but he heard his mother's screams clearly and started to cry loudly. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not break free from the officer's arms.

Many scholars took a breath of air. Although Zhang Xinyue sued the county magistrate as a common person, even if he was found guilty, there was no explicit provision that he must be slapped with a slap in the face. Many aspects can be dealt with as appropriate, and it is not necessary to slap a slap on the wrist, let alone

You must hit such a heavy board!

How can Zhang Xinyue, a weak woman, endure this?

Obviously, Feng Jinming wanted to beat Zhang Xinyue to death. If he could not survive the punishment in court, then Zhang Xinyue would not be able to continue suing Wang Fu, the magistrate of Wen County.

"Stop! Don't fight! Don't fight again!"

A scholar shouted: "Master Magistrate, if we continue to fight, someone will be killed. Please show your respect and be patient!"

Feng Jinming said sternly: "No! The state has national laws, and our government acts in accordance with the law. How can we show mercy outside the law? Then what is the use of the law?"

"What a good state-owned and national law. National law is used to benefit the people, not as a means for you to manage human lives!"

A roar of anger resounded throughout the court, shocking many scholars.

"Well said!" Many scholars said in unison.

But the officer who was being tortured with the cane suddenly stopped moving, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and for some reason he couldn't move on the killing stick in his hand.

However, at this moment, Zhang Xinyue was covered with bruises and fell to the ground dying.

Feng Jinming's expression changed, his eyes glowed, and he quickly locked onto a young scholar.

This person is none other than Du Ning.

In order to attend Fu Yue's wedding, Du Ning went to the capital of Pingguo a few days in advance.

By the way, I would like to take this opportunity to travel to Pingguo and meet the young talents of Pingguo.

However, when passing by Tianfeng Mansion, I heard someone beating the grievance drum, so I followed the crowd, but I didn't expect such an extremely angry thing to happen.

Even though Zhang Xinyue was found guilty because of the lawsuit, she could not use the stick like this. Ordinary government officials would use the stick properly to injure only the skin and flesh but not the muscles and bones.

But when these government officials beat Zhang Xinyue with a cane, they hit her to death and hit her vital parts. If they said there was nothing fishy in it, no one would believe it.

"Who are you? How dare you use your literary power to prevent the execution of the government officials, what crime do you deserve!" Feng Jinming shouted loudly.

Du Ning looked at Feng Jinming and said: "Master Feng, did you order the government officials to deal with such a heavy hand to kill the defendant? What benefits did the magistrate of Wen County give you? You actually asked you to do this just to protect a magistrate.

Don’t hesitate to take care of human life!”

"Presumptuous!"

When Feng Jinming heard this, he became angry and stared at Du Ning.

Du Ning's words also made the ignorant scholars suddenly realize. They thought that Feng Jinming was really acting in accordance with the law, but he did not expect that he was acting for personal benefit and looking for an excuse to kill Zhang Xinyue.

"So it turns out that Magistrate Feng and Magistrate Wang are protecting each other. If Zhang Xinyue comes to sue Magistrate Wang, Magistrate Feng will beat Zhang Xinyue to death in the courtroom!"

"Absurd! This is Tianfeng Mansion, at the feet of the Emperor. This kind of thing can actually happen. Being an official and not making decisions for the people, how is it any different from an accomplice?"

"Master Feng, you are too arrogant!"

Many scholars criticized him, saying that they were not afraid of Feng Jinming despite their fame.

Feng Jinming hurriedly said: "This government has always been impartial and selfless. Since ancient times, it has been a crime to bring people to court against officials. This is also an iron law followed by all countries. Our government handles the situation in accordance with the law. What is wrong? You must not listen to this.

The nonsense of scholars!"

Du Ning walked to Zhang Xinyue and felt her pulse for a moment, then his face suddenly turned blue.

This government officer is really deadly!

Du Ning hurriedly took out the healing treasure "Vitality Fruit" from Qiankun in his sleeves, cut it into small pieces, put it in Zhang Xinyue's mouth and swallowed it.

The Vitality Fruit has the effect of treating internal and external injuries. After ordinary people eat it, no matter how serious the injury is, they can be cured quickly.

Zhang Xinyue's complexion soon returned to rosy, and she suddenly regained her strength from her dying state. She stood up and kowtowed to Du Ning: "Thank you so much for saving my life. Thank you so much."

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, nothing will happen to you."

After Du Ning finished speaking, he looked at the yamen servant holding the boy, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes, which scared the yamen servant and let go hurriedly.

"Mother!"

The boy hurriedly threw himself into Zhang Xinyue's arms, and the mother and son hugged each other and burst into tears.
