Hearing Lian Daning's name, the Fengyang prefect couldn't help but be a little stunned, but he might directly manage his colleagues in the future. Lian Daning was a Jinshi earlier than him, and he called Brother Lian Nian already gold on his face.

This matter is a bit difficult to handle, and if one party is completely sheltered because of this, or even a gourd case is handled, some people will gossip, and then they will naturally have to bear the charge of protecting each other.

The prefect of Fengyang was calculating, frowned, and this problem was solved.

First of all, Lian Daning cannot be offended, whether the defendant is his protégé or not, it is better to believe it than not to believe it. Secondly, if it is really Lian Daning's protégé, then he must not be a demon, even if there is anything, it will be carried by Lian Daning in the future, and it has nothing to do with me. Third, how can Fengyang Mansion produce demons? This is the middle capital, and it must not be out, and it will not come out.

As soon as these three points came out, in the heart of the Fengyang prefect, the case had actually been decided.

"In this case, you can tell me what is going on first, and the government will judge it fairly." The prefect of Fengyang said with Yan Yuese.

Besides, I told the story in court, and these are things that everyone can see.

The prefect of Fengyang summoned four more dart masters and the Zuo family's family, and what they said was the same, except that the words were different, the expressions were different, and the nature was the same.

"Big lord, the villain saw it with his own eyes, he first scared those people to say something, and those people had to fall to the ground, but as soon as he finished speaking, those people were killed, he was not a demon or anything, it must be the person he killed with demon methods." The plaintiff, who had been kneeling down and did not dare to raise his head, shouted loudly.

"You say he's a demon or a demon? Will this master decide the case or will you decide the case? The prefect of Fengyang broke off his drink, so frightened that this person was covered in chaff, and he didn't dare to speak again.

The prefect of Fengyang then summoned the witnesses at the time, and what they said was similar to what they said, the only difference was that some people saw a cyan figure, and some people didn't.

"Can anyone tell me that the cyan figure could be this child?" The prefect of Fengyang asked.

"Definitely not, this son didn't move at all at that time, and he was still some distance away from those who were killed. The villain can see clearly. ”

The prefect of Fengyang pondered for a moment, and then looked at the master of the torture room next to him, hoping that they would play a role as a think tank. That's what the master does, and at critical moments, he provides professional advice to the master.

The master walked up and whispered a few words in the ear of the prefect of Fengyang, and the prefect nodded slightly, but his face was solemn. This case has been tried here, and the Fengyang prefect also feels that it is a little difficult to handle, the problem is that it is necessary to find out who the murderer is, and if he can't figure this out, it is difficult to remove the charge of "demon".

"Master, there is no other murderer at all, it is the demon method used by this demon." The plaintiff held on to it, although he was just a ruffian, and he also understood in the lawsuit that if he couldn't bite to death, he would be the one who died.

The lobby of Fengyang Mansion is not so easy to enter, basically standing in and carrying out.

The plaintiff insisted on the charge of being a "demon", which annoyed the Fengyang prefect, who did not understand the affairs of officialdom at all, and what the official was most afraid of was this kind of demon case. At that time, the two major cases of Tang Saier and Li Fulu ruined the future of many officials, and many officials were imprisoned for the crime of negligence and their families were exiled to the frontier.

Hate this Diao people, you can say a word, but just bite the "demon" and don't let go, isn't this against the black gauze hat on the head of this master?

"Come on, slap your mouth. Let's see if he dares to despise this mansion! "The prefect of Fengyang has finally exerted his might.

Two servants came up on both sides, one held down the man, and the other used the sole of his shoe to slap the man's mouth dozens of times, so that the man screamed and begged for mercy again and again, and then he couldn't even make a sound.

"What does Master Ben ask and answer, and if anyone bites or talks without authorization, he will be punished accordingly." The prefect of Fengyang looked at the majestic passage below.

This is not counting the punishment, it can only be regarded as an appetizer, and the real punishment is a three-piece set: a board, a clamp, and a hammer. The three-piece suit can only be considered a regular criminal law, not torture.

However, the general wrench is unbearable, and there are already many Wenchen who died under the wrench of the imperial court, and it is impossible to count how many criminals died.

The most evil is the clamp stick, the stick, the stick is to use two wooden sticks to clamp the prisoner's legs, and then step on it hard, the leg bones that have been on the stick are basically not saved, out of prison and become lame are considered lucky, most of them are paralyzed. The bamboo stick is just to scrap the fingernails, and it can grow out, but the finger bones are broken, the ten fingers are connected to the heart, and the meridian system is also damaged, and it is impossible to cure with any medicine. The bones that have been crushed into powder cannot be re-aggregated and grow into bones, and even the medicine of later generations cannot cure them.

The officials of the Ming and Qing dynasties handled cases, once they used these three sets, there was almost no one who did not recruit, and no one could survive this kind of criminal law, even if you survived once, there will be a next time, sooner or later you will have a nervous breakdown.

At the end of the day, you can recruit whatever you want.

As for the torture used by those cool officials in the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, no one used it in the Ming Dynasty, and it was not used at all. The integrity of the people of the Ming Dynasty is no longer comparable to that of the two Han Dynasty, and the bones are already very soft.

"Xu Ming, you tell the government honestly, who killed those people for you, if you don't tell the truth, it will be difficult for the government. Do you understand what this house means? "There is something in the words of the prefect of Fengyang, which is obviously implying that besides, even if you make up a story, you have to give me an explanation.

"Old man, the disciple really doesn't know, the disciple just suspects that someone is committing a crime in the name of a crime, didn't someone commit a crime in the name of defending the disciple a few days ago, and picked the branch of the Salt Gang? The disciple hoped that the old man would arrest this wicked man. Besides, he said calmly.

Besides, after thinking about it, there were really a lot of things that happened during my time in Fengyang. Someone actually picked the branch of the Salt Gang in his name, and he gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart: Which damn bastard did it, this is directly trying to push the master into the fire pit.

"You are from Wuzhong, why did you come to the boundary of this mansion? You are expected to be famous, why did you suddenly practice medicine? "The prefect of Fengyang also wants to check the truth and identity, so you can't say anything.

As for the practice of medicine, he said that when he saw that there was a shortage of doctors and medicines in that mountain town, he relied on his family medical skills to treat the people, not to make money.

The prefect of Fengyang nodded, he basically understood these things in his heart, since the incident of the Salt Gang Branch, he sent someone to check the bottom of the situation, but he found out that he was practicing medicine in the mountain town, and he used all the money he earned to run a school and give medicine.

At that time, he still felt strange in his heart, this person's behavior was the demeanor of the holy hand of the national doctor. He had only suspected that at such a young age, how could he have such miraculous medical skills. Now I know that he is still a talented man in Wuzhong. He is familiar with Lian Daning's arrogance, and the head of the case he admits will never be an ordinary person, but must be an outstanding leader.

"You write the article for the head of the case to the government, and the government also wants to know what skills the talents selected for the adults are." The prefect of Fengyang is still old and spicy, and he can judge the authenticity of the other party's identity with just one move, if it is true, of course everything is not a problem.

Besides, I already have a talent for unforgettable, let alone an article I made. So, he walked forward confidently, someone handed him pen and ink paper, and he waved it on the spot and wrote his own article. After all, this is his famous work, and it is really hearty and chic to write.

Besides, when he wrote it, the prefect of Fengyang already had a score in his heart, even the disciple of the adult, this must be wrong. When he finished writing, the prefect of Fengyang immediately praised it: "Good words, it is purely the family law of the two kings." ”

"Disciples usually like to copy thousand-character texts." Besides, I don't want to do it.

"Ah, only the thousand-character text is the penmanship of Erwang Tsukasa Yan, not even Yu Shi Nanchu Henan." The prefect of Fengyang obviously also likes calligraphy, and he praised and praised it at a glance.

"Well, this text is also very old, and if you are a little older, there is no problem in getting a lifter, no wonder you can enter the eyes of the young brother. Ha ha. The prefect of Fengyang seems to have forgotten that he is judging the case, and directly talked about fame, and finally got up with a deer. Pity the plaintiff who was kneeling there, and his heart cried out again and again, and his heart completely collapsed.

The prefect of Fengyang ignored the stunned expressions of everyone in the lobby, and then praised a few articles, obviously he was still very optimistic about the calligraphy.

"You all listen, this person is not a demon, but a talented man in Wuzhong, who practices medicine by his family's peerless learning, not to mention the king of medicine, you bold people, dare to believe rumors and spread rumors, and gather people to make trouble, dare to rob people and kill people, eat meat and drink blood, if you don't do it legally, where are the laws of the court?! Someone's coming. ”

The prefect shouted, and the officials on both sides stepped forward and bowed down to obey the order.

"These Diao Minnian who gathered to make trouble are the first offenders, and they will all have 100 boards per person, and the heavy responsibility of this false accusation that Xu Ming is a demon is 300 sticks, and he will flow 3,000 miles in vain."

At that moment, more than a dozen people who wanted to eat the meat were grabbed by the officials like chickens, and they fell to the ground, ready to be beaten with sticks.

If a hundred sticks are beaten more realistically, the muscles and bones of the legs will basically be broken, and if it is a master of sticks in the court, it will basically be beaten into a vegetative state.

"My husband's ancestor is really a mirror, and the rewards and punishments are clear. The disciple is grateful. Besides, he hurriedly bowed his hand and praised it lavishly.

"That is, this government has insight, how can it be deceived by these people." The prefect of Fengyang also praised himself and smiled.

"The lord spares his life, the lord spares his life. It's obvious that he killed someone, why did he wait for me to be tortured! ”

When he boarded, there was a cry of begging for mercy in the hall, and some people had eaten the stick punishment in Fengyang Mansion, and it was by no means something that ordinary people could bear.

"Execution!" The prefect was shocked, and threw all the sticks down.

When he arrived, the lobby turned into a flesh and blood field, and the screams of killing pigs came and went, and the onlookers were all pale, as if they had come to the eighteenth layer of hell.

There were also many onlookers outside, but they couldn't get in, and after the trial in the lobby, no one was allowed to enter, unless summoned by the prefect.

Lei Zhenwu, Zuo Wenxiang, and Zuo Dongge had already arrived, but they couldn't go in, so they were so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks, rubbed their hands and stomped their feet, and it was easy to ask a master they knew to send a post to the prefect, asking for an urgent meeting.

The prefect of Fengyang threw it back directly after seeing it, and the meaning was very clear: I'm sorry, I don't see!
