Outside the Xuande Gate of the Song Imperial City, Li Sanjian (yù), the judge of the Yazuo Hall of the Kaifeng Prefecture, severely punished Zhao Xin and others in public, but Lu Changheng, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, came in person despite his old age to stop Li Sanjian from doing so.

It is not difficult to guess that Lu Changheng is afraid of affecting himself, Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.

Since Li Sanjian took office (rì), it should be said that Lu Changheng is still good to Li Sanjian, at least Lu Changheng did not make Li Sanjian sad, so Li Sanjian is still grateful to Lu Changheng.

So Li Sanjian pondered for a moment, and said to Lu Changheng: "Lu Fuzun, today's (rì) matter can't be stopped, but the lower official has written the document, and today's (rì) action has nothing to do with anyone, it is all done by the lower official alone, I hope Lu Fuzun will forgive me one or two." ”

It won't be long before the matter of today (rì) will be known all over the city, maybe Kaifeng Mansion is now known all over the city, so if Li Sanjian stops down at this time, won't he fall into the laughing stock of people?

The most important thing is that Li Sanjian is determined to bring Zhao Xin and others to justice, the reason is that he will not die by fighting snakes, and he will not kill himself, and Li Sanjian at this time has already formed a mortal enmity with Zhao Xin and others, and he can no longer tolerate Li Sanjian to take half a step back.

"Hey, today (rì), you just listen to the old man's advice." Li Sanjian said this, which suddenly made Lu Changheng feel a lot more at ease, so he opened his mouth to persuade: "Li Hanren, the old man remembers that you are twenty years old this year, right?" At the age of twenty-one, he had such an act, he lived in the court and was a doctor of the sixth rank of the court, and won the favor of the saint, it can be said that he is on a steady rise, and his future will be limitless, but if you insist on doing this now, it will make you lose your previous achievements, and even dismiss your official position, and fall into the trap. Li Hanren, the old man is older than you, I hope you will listen to the old man's advice. ”

Of course, Lu Changheng could order Li Sanjian and his officials to immediately stop and return to the mansion as the dignity of the government (shēn), but first, Li Sanjian and some of Li Sanjian's henchmen, such as Shankui, Xu Biao and others, would not obey Lu Changheng's orders, and second, Lu Changheng also had a lot of scruples.

Li Sanjian was preparing to clear his grievances in public, how could the many onlookers present not know about this incident (qíng)?

Li Sanjian has already won the support of all the people present, if Lu Changheng forcibly ordered Li Sanjian to release Zhao Xin and others at this time, wouldn't it cause public anger? At the same time, it will also ruin Lu Changheng's reputation.

People in this world, even if there are some dirty things behind their backs, they will inevitably pretend to be sanctimonious on the surface, and they will never admit in public that they are villains rather than gentlemen.

Therefore, it is the best strategy to persuade Li Sanjian to change his mind at this time.

"Lao Enfu's heartfelt words, Sanjian has received it!" Hearing this, Li Sanjian bowed (shēn) and bowed deeply to Lu Changheng and said, "But... However, the old Enfu, Sanjian also had a word, please consider the Enfu, if the official is not the master of the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes. The people have grievances, and there are wicked people in the world, how can the three strong not punish the evil and promote the good, and wash away the wrongs (jìn) violence? How can Sanjian turn a blind eye for his own future? How can you watch the wicked do evil and the people be wronged? If so, don't do it! ”

"Color! Color! Color! ”

"What a blue sky lord with a mirror hanging high!"

"Hey, now like this, there are too few officials who can be the masters of the people!"

"What Brother Tai said is very true, such a righteous official and good minister is simply rare, almost nothing

！ ”

Li Sanjian's words immediately caused a round of applause around him, and the sound resounded in the sky and was earth-shattering.

In fact, Li Sanjian is not what the people call him, such a blue sky lord, not a character like Bao Zheng, Li Sanjian is not a (shēn) righteousness without a trace of evil, and even Li Sanjian is as cunning as a fox or flattery, and when he does things by proper means, he will also use the crooked ways called by the gentleman, such as Li Sanjian using Yan Si.

This time, Li Sanjian (yù) tortured Zhao Xin in public, in addition to the reason for making decisions for the people and clearing grievances (jìn) violence, it is also related to what happened to Li Sanjian since he became an official.

Li Sanjian was the first to push the official, that is, to take over the case of Zhou Fanggeng, with great effort, and was almost assassinated, just now the case was investigated, but in the end, Zhou Fanggeng and others were almost unharmed, at large, unpunished, Li Sanjian was deeply hated at the time, but helpless, and his heart was depressed.

In the Qingyin Pavilion case, the deaths of more than ten people including Elder Chen, whether indirect or direct, should be regarded as dying in the hands of Li Sanjian, which made Li Sanjian very remorseful.

At this time, Zhao Xin did evil, not only harming many young girls, but also harming Gongsun Rouniang and Qin'er's cousins, making Li Sanjian lose face at home.

In short, many complex factors were combined, which made Li Sanjian change to a cautious and cautious style, and torture Zhao Xin and others in public.

"You... That's all the old man said, think about it yourself. Lu Changheng said with a slightly red face.

"Thank you, Lao Enfu!" Li San insisted on speaking, and after respectfully saluting the official uniform and official seal placed on the official case, he ordered loudly: "Execution!" ”

The five people, including Shan Kui and Xu Biao, who temporarily acted as torturers, stood on the ground with the black and red staff in their hands, and after a pause of three times, they responded loudly: "We obey Judge Li's orders!" ”

"Judge Li decided, take off your clothes and be punished, and strip off your clothes!" A Kaifeng Mansion official on the side shouted loudly.

As the name suggests, stripping one's clothes and being punished, the staff hits directly on the (ròu), and it will be blood (ròu) flying, which looks unusually cruel and makes people jump in horror.

The most important thing is that the punishment of stripping clothes is to strip the clothes to the shoulders and down to the (tún) part, which is almost red (shēn), or to strip clothes in public, which is extremely humiliating and regarded as a great shame, and some people even can't bear such humiliation after being tortured, and commit suicide in anger.

After receiving the order, more than a dozen officials couldn't help but hold down Zhao Xin and the other five people, who were struggling desperately, and peeled off their clothes, revealing a white (ròu) color.

"Li Sanjian, a dog thief, a dog barbarian, grandpa is not dead, he will definitely take your dog's life!" When he is tortured, he has to take off the rag from his mouth, because of humane considerations or for the last words in this world.

When Zhao Xin could speak, he immediately scolded, Li Sanjian looked at Zhao Xin coldly and didn't say a word.

"Spine Staff Seventeen, First Strike!" The official then shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Shan Kui, Xu Biao and the other five raised their staffs, and then under the attention of tens of thousands of people, they swung their staffs and struck at Zhao Xin and the others.

The punishment of the spine cane, as the name suggests, is to hit the back of the criminal, above the waist and below the shoulder, and there are many ways to do it.

If the torturer's hand stays (qíng), then he will be struck in

There are many places on the back (ròu) of a person, and the blow will be earth-shattering, and the blood (ròu) will fly, but the actual injury is not serious, it is basically a skin (ròu) injury, and it can be healed after a few resting (rì).

If the torturer is heavy-handed, he will be struck at the junction of the waist and back, which is also where the blood vessels and internal organs are concentrated, and he will be seriously injured and even killed.

Shankui's torture target is Zhao Xin, Xu Biao is Zhou Fanggeng, and Shankui and Xu Biao hate Zhao Xin and Zhou Fanggeng to the core, and Li Sanjian has already mentioned that he is going to Zhao Xin and others' (xìng) lives, so how can Shankui, Xu Biao and others at this time tolerate (qíng)? How dare you tolerate (qíng)?

It is said that Li Sanjian ordered people to bring several coffins, which was to take the lives of Zhao Xin and others.

"Ah。。。 The Queen Mother save me! Zhao Xin let out a miserable scream, and before the words fell, Shankui's first staff had already fallen, but it did not hit him near his waist, but slapped it heavily on Zhao Xin's back (ròu) thick place.

But even so, Shan Kui and Xu Biao are extremely powerful, with the power of the overlord, plus the attack is not tolerable (qíng), so this blow is powerful.

Everyone clearly heard a muffled sound, and then Zhao Xin's frightened cry for help stopped abruptly, Zhao Xin fainted to the ground, blood gushed out from Zhao Xin's mouth and nose, and slowly flowed on the ground, and Zhao Xin's entire face was also soaked in a piece of blood.

Shankui's blow has shattered Zhao Xin's heart! I almost don't have to hit a second cane...

Xu Biao hit Zhou Fanggeng's waist more ruthlessly, and directly hit Zhou Fanggeng's waist up, everyone obviously heard the sound of broken bones, Xu Biao's battle almost broke Zhou Fanggeng's waist, Zhou Fanggeng also spurted blood from his mouth, lying on the ground only intake and no breath.

Xu Biao almost didn't have to hit the second stick to end Zhou Fanggeng's (xìng) life.

Zhao Xin's other three evil subordinates (qíng) were also in better condition, but they were still beaten or cried for their fathers and mothers, or sighed and begged for mercy.

"Lee... Judge... Official... Will the torture continue? "Where has a government official who is in prison ever seen such a ruthless person, has he ever seen such a fierce person? Just one stick almost ended up with a person's (xìng) life, so he looked at Li Sanjian and stammered and asked.

"If you continue to torture, you can't miss a rod!" Li Sanjian replied coldly when he heard this.

"Spine Staff Seventeen, Second Strike!"

So Shan Kui, Xu Biao and the others raised their staff again and crackled and fought again, but the spine staff after Shan Kui and Xu Biao was also pretending, the reason was that the two warriors had found out that Zhao Xin and Zhou Fanggeng had died after the first battle.

Zhao Xin's other three evildoers kept screaming until the last cane was over, and then they stopped breathing.

On the fifteenth day of the first month of the first year of the reign of Song Jianzhong (rì), Li Sanjian tortured in public outside the Xuande Gate, and killed five people including Zhao Xin, the Duke of Wei, with a cane, which was a blood spattering the Xuande Gate.

"Stop, stop... Your Majesty has a will... Your Majesty has a will... Will... Die... He's dead? At this time, Liang Shicheng, the palace attendant, finally arrived with several attendants, and Liang Shicheng asked blankly after seeing the inhuman-shaped corpses of Zhao Xin and the other five people.

"Examine the prisoners, and put them in the coffin!" Li Sanjian ignored Liang Shicheng and ordered coldly.

In any case, Zhao Xin is the prince of the dynasty, so he can't expose the body of Xuandemen, and he still has to be decent after death.
