Chapter five hundred and thirty first trial
Chapter 531
In the lobby of the inspector, a mirror was hung high. Gong Bian looked at the person kneeling under the hall and asked sternly: "Who is the one in the hall? You can tell that the drum of injustice cannot be beaten at will."
Zeng Guangxi bowed and said, "Zeng Guangxi, whose courtesy name is Yuanhui, is a person from Fengyang Mansion. Today, there is a huge grievance. The students know that they are rude first, and they are willing to be killed first."
With a swing of this stick, even a strong person will be cured for one or two months. However, this killing stick is an extra punishment, and it can be beaten or not. If it is well equipped, it will naturally be avoided. Even if it is well equipped, it is good to show mercy. However, if it is not well equipped, the prisoner will suffer.
In the past, before the prisoners were imprisoned, they often used sticks to intimidate them, and called "killing powerful sticks". When the Ming Taizu legislated the legislation, there were laws and regulations that civilians who beat the drums of wrongs and whistle, they would eat thirty killing powerful sticks first.
First, to prevent common people from complaining frequently, and second, to make the government more deterrent. However, this punishment has been around for a long time since the Song Dynasty and is regarded as an old system inherited.
But Zeng Guangxi is not a fool, and this is just a casual statement. He came to confess his guilt and claimed that his student let Gong Busan know that he was a scholar. How could Gong Busan beat him
Sure enough, Gong Busan looked at the master beside him after hearing Zeng Guangxi's words.
The master whispered in a low voice and said, "This person is the head of Fengyang Prefecture's court trial this year."
Gong Busan nodded slightly, his index fingers overlapped with middle fingers, and pointed at Zeng Guangxi and said, "Since you are a person who is fame, get up and talk."
"Thank you, sir."
After Zeng Guangxi stood up, he bowed his hands and held the complaint, saying, "This is a complaint, please look at it."
Regarding Zeng Guangxi's sensibility, Gong Busan nodded slightly in his heart. When the person below submitted an appeal, he lowered his eyes and looked.
The more you looked, Gong Bian's brows became tighter, the tighter the more you looked, and the tighter the tighter the more you looked. Until the end, his eyebrows almost twisted into a hemp rope. He raised his eyes and looked at Zeng Guangxi and asked, "You have abused lynching and tied up the suspect."
Zeng Guangxi still remembered Shen Kang's instructions, but did not repeat them according to his words, but replied: "Yes."
"Do you know that your actions violate the Ming Dynasty's laws and regulations! Where did you read your books? Why don't you report to the court if everyone abuses lynching like you and investigates the case privately, what's the use of the yamen?"
Gong Buzan was so angry that he could hardly sit steadily. He really couldn't imagine where a scholar had the courage to capture the criminal privately!
Zeng Guangxi's eyes were slightly red, the tip of his nose was sour, and he pressed his tears and said slowly: "Fu Diewu, a female, has been taken to the government jail for six days. The students knew that they had violated the Ming Dynasty's laws and could not escape the blame, but as long as Fu Diewu cleared his grievances, the students would do whatever they could."
Zeng Guangxi is not a fool. He knew that if someone had to stand up and take responsibility for the private arrest of the criminal, he knew even more that Shen Kang did not intend to let him take responsibility, but he could not.
After Shen Kang helped him, he could not let his benefactor ask his friend to be punished for him.
If this is the case, it would be better for him to bear the blame first.
Gong Bushen gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Scholar Zeng Yuanhui knew that the law was broken, so he beat twenty big shots first!"
"Yes!" The messengers on both sides came forward and pressed Zeng Guangxi. Zeng Guangxi did not resist at all, but felt a chill in his thighs. The lower body that had not seen Tian Ri for a long time had been exposed to the air and everyone's eyes.
He grabbed both ends of the bench with both hands, gritted his teeth, and listened to the muffled sound of "papapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapa
The twenty-two boards were quickly finished. He looked pale and sweated coldly. He put on his pants and tied them up, feeling happy. If Chen Kang had to bear it, he would probably not be able to bear it. Fortunately, he thought of this.
Gong Binzan frowned slightly. It was the first time he saw someone beaten so happily.
"Sir, can you find out the suspect?"
Gong Busan nodded slightly and said, "With suspicion, Li Si! Qin Xuan! Hua Liniang!"
When Li Si was brought to the court, he was already in a panic and he knelt on the ground tremblingly. Gong Bu asked, "Li Si, Xu Dake forced his property to rob you in the market. You were malicious and killed him, and snatched Xu Dake's wallet. The evidence and physical evidence were there, do you recognize it or not."
Zeng Guangxi retreated aside. As soon as he moved slightly, the pain in his thighs would follow him like a shadow. His heart was like a drum. After a while, another young man was brought into the door.
Qin Xuan's face was covered with injuries, and there was no joy, sorrow and face. When Gong Buchan saw this person, he couldn't help but look at Zeng Guangxi.
Zeng Guangxi didn't know why this person was beaten into such a situation. The corners of his eyes trembled slightly. These twenty boards... were too cost-effective. Li Niang looked up at Qin Xuan, was surprised for a moment, and then turned her eyes to stop looking at him.
Li Si's eyes were circling and he kept shaking his head: "No, no, the murderer was Fu Diewu. This matter has been finalized and has nothing to do with the villain!"
Gong Bu asked, "Hua Liniang, did you see Xu Dake robbed Li Si's money."
Li Niang knelt in the hall, glanced at Li Si down, nodded, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "Yes."
"What!" Gong Busan shouted angrily.
Li Niang trembled all over, and Qin Xuan frowned again.
Li Niang raised her voice and said again: "Yes! The little woman saw it with her own eyes!"
Gong Binzan chuckled and said, "Say the evidence!"
"yes!"
The man below used a wooden pallet to present Xu Dake's wallet to the hall. Li Si was slightly shocked and even more panicked. He said with a bitter face: "I... the villain just beat him, snatched the wallet and ran away. The villain... the villain has never killed anyone!"
Zeng Guangxi's eyes lit up and he asked, "You mean, he was not dead when you saw Xu Dake! Isn't it right?"
Li Si's lips trembled slightly, and they broke down, and he said he was leaking his mouth.
Gong Buchan smiled slightly, did not blame Zeng Guangxi, and asked, "Answer!"
Li Si made up his mind, and it was too late to speak back. He closed his eyes and nodded.
Gong Busan said coldly: "What happened that day? Come with the real idea!"
"Yes!" Li Si responded, and then continued: "That day, the evil arrester snatched my money from the market and knocked over the stall. The villain could not do business. He wanted to hurry home to see his old mother who was sick, so he left the market."
"The villain's mother is terminally ill, so the villain wants to ask the shopkeeper of Qinji Pharmaceutical Store to go back on credit for a few doses of medicine. As soon as he walked to the door, he met Fu Diewu, covered in blood, and hit him. The villain rushed to credit for medicine. He entered Qinji Pharmaceutical Store and saw the injured Xu Dake and the dead shopkeeper Qin and his maid."
"Even if the evil arrester was injured, he was still insulting the villain. The villain was angry for a moment, so he picked up the broom beside him and hit him... Xu Dake was knocked out by the villain, and the villain felt scared and hurriedly grabbed the money bag and ran away."
