Seeing that everyone was pleading, Lu Jing immediately raised his eyebrows with a cold face and shouted to stop everyone, and immediately ordered someone to execute in public.

Seeing that Lu Jing was angry, the officials on both sides did not dare to delay, and immediately brought a wooden bench and raised a water and fire stick to execute left and right, at first Cheng Yulian also bit her jade lip tightly and refused to shout, after four or five canes went down, she bit her lip and bleed, and she couldn't help screaming.

Cheng's father and Cheng's mother screamed when they saw their daughter being tortured, the red wedding clothes were like blood, and tears kept rolling down, and they all rushed up to stop the officials.

Shen Zheng's heart was even more like a knife, and he couldn't wait to replace him, but seeing that he couldn't open the struggle, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and cried for Lu Jing's mercy.

When the onlookers saw this scene, they couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and some even left tears and hurriedly pleaded again.

Lu Jing stopped everyone, and ordered someone to hold her parents, and said coldly: "If you dare to interfere with the execution, the punishment will be doubled, and someone will take her to the inner hall for execution." ”

The official immediately received the order, carried Cheng Yulian to the inner hall, and continued to execute, and soon heard Cheng Yulian's crying and screaming inside, and the sound was unbearable.

Seeing that Lu Jing was ruthless and hard-hearted, the audience threw away their good impression of him, and kept scolding him for being mediocre and cold, and some even scolded him in a low voice.

Lu Jing ignored everyone at all, looked at Xue Mo and Fu Zuo and asked, "Both of you say that you are Cheng Yulian's fiancé, this official will give you a chance today, if anyone is willing to suffer half of the cane punishment for her, this official will sentence him in favor of the lawsuit." ”

When the people around heard this, they shouted for the two of them to receive the rod for Miss Yulian.

After hearing this, Xue Mo hurriedly avoided the pleading gaze of Cheng's father and Cheng's mother, shook his head and refused, even if he didn't die, he would lose half his life, not to mention that Yulian couldn't afford to resist sixty rods, and when the time came, he would not only be seriously injured, but also marry a dead man's wife, wouldn't it be a loss for his wife and a soldier.

Although Fu Zuo had some doubts in his heart about whether this was a test for Lord Qincha, he saw that Lu Jing was full of frost and anger from beginning to end, and it didn't look like it was fake, and at the same time, he had the same idea as Xue Mo in his heart, so he didn't dare to take risks easily, and he shook his head and refused after hesitating for a moment.

Shen Zheng struggled and cried: "Ask for the grace of the adults, the students are willing to replace, and the students are willing to replace." ”

Lu Jing sneered: "If the name is not right, what is your identity." ”

Shen Zheng hurriedly looked at Cheng's father and Cheng's mother, and when the two of them heard their daughter's screams, they hurriedly knelt down and begged: "We are willing to marry our daughter to the son of the Shen family." ”

Lu Jing couldn't help but say angrily: "Presumptuous, there are still two marriage contracts that have not been dissolved, and they even want to give it to the third family, this official will not be held accountable for your love for your daughter, and if you dare to speak out again, this official will be punished more severely." ”

After finishing speaking, he said to Xue Mo and Fu Zuo: "Look at some people who want to replace them, there is no such opportunity, both of you have a marriage contract, so think about it and don't miss the opportunity." ”

Xue Mo and Fu Zuo were silent and did not answer, and even secretly thought about how to withdraw from the marriage.

It didn't take long for the screams inside to gradually fade away, and Lu Lian came over and said, "Lord Qiyu, Cheng's daughter can't support the fainting, do you want to be suspended." ”

Lu Jing asked, "How many rods have you been tortured?" ”

Lu Lian replied: "Only thirty rods." ”

Lu Jing said coldly: "Don't bother with it, continue the execution." ”

Lu Lian sighed and then turned back, everyone only heard the sound of alternating canes and punishments from inside, but there was no sound from Cheng Yulian, they were all worried, and they glared at Lu Jing angrily.

After a while, Lu Lian said back and forth: "The prisoner has lost his voice, but he wants to continue the execution?" ”

Lu Jing groaned: "Since you respect the deceased so much, the rest of the cane punishment will be waived, and her body will be carried out, and the official will continue to hear the case." ”

After hearing this, everyone was in an uproar, and they secretly scolded what their hearts were doing, and they were so hard.

After Lu Lian took the order, he didn't take out a corpse covered with a white cloth.

Cheng's father and Cheng's mother immediately threw themselves on the corpse, opened it and saw that it was their daughter, her mother couldn't support it in an instant, and fainted, and her father pinched her while crying and begging.

Lu Jing immediately ordered someone to wake Cheng's mother awake, and asked Cheng Yulian's body to be carried aside, and continued: "Although the person is dead now, but your case is not over, now where Cheng's daughter should be buried in the name of whose wife should be buried, it is still to be decided, and you in the province will have disputes again in the future." ”

"The official has a word first, although this woman has a private life with others, but her filial piety is commendable, and she died for her parents, and she wants to show her as a chaste martyr, you are all people with a marriage contract, no matter how you say it, you will also be buried for its scenery."

Fu Zuo saw that Yulian was dead, and he had to take the name of his wife when he brought a dead person back, not to mention that he had a reputation for being unchaste, and he was also ridiculed by people when he took it back, so he hurriedly said: "Lord Rong Bing, the student's family is poor, and he really can't afford to undertake the funeral, since Xue Gongzi and Miss are cousins and childhood sweethearts, the student is willing to withdraw from the marriage." ”

Xue Mo hurriedly said: "Fart, if you hadn't told me three times and twice, how could my cousin have died, and you should bear this matter." ”

Lu Jing said angrily: "Presumptuous, when people are not dead, you fought for an inch of land, and now that you are dead, you pass the buck to each other, the official will give you a stick of incense time to discuss who to bring back, if not, the official will be punished." ”

Seeing this, Cheng's father knelt down and begged: "Little Lao'er is willing to take the little girl home for burial." ”

Lu Jing said coldly: "Since it has been promised to another family is someone else's wife, what kind of system do you bring back to be buried, not to mention how a woman who died unmarried and died early and bears the name of unchastity can enter the ancestral grave, and she needs to marry someone to be proper." ”

Shen Zheng got up and said, "The student is willing to marry Yulian as his wife and take it home for burial." ”

Lu Jing shook his head and sighed: "You are also a lover, but even if you have this heart, it depends on whether Fu Zuo and Xue Mo are willing!" ”

Xue Mo hurriedly said: "Lord Hui, since my cousin has no intention of marrying me, the villain is willing to fulfill them." ”

Fu Zuo also said: "The student really doesn't know that Miss Yulian already has a heart, the gentleman is the beauty of an adult, and the student is willing to give up the marriage contract and fulfill the two of them." ”

Lu Jing asked, "Are you sincere?" Xue Mo and Fu Zuo nodded hurriedly.

Lu Jing asked again: "Will you regret it in the future?" Both of them said they would not go back.

Lu Jing snorted coldly, and asked Cheng's father and Cheng's mother again: "Are you two willing to marry your daughter to Shen Zheng as your wife?" ”

Cheng's father and Cheng's mother hurriedly cried and responded: "I am willing to withdraw from the marriage of the two families, if Shen Gongzi is willing to marry a little girl, I am willing to allow the little girl to be allowed, and he will marry a wife in the future, we are willing to recognize his wife as a righteous daughter and entrust the family property." ”

When Xue Mo and Fu Zuo heard this, their faces changed, and they were busy repenting, but they were glared at by Lu Jing, and swallowed back the words that came to their mouths.

Shen Zheng bowed down to the second elder, and then said with a plush face: "Yulian is gone, Zheng is not alone, and after marrying Yulian, the son-in-law will go with her, and implore the second elder to bury us together. ”

Cheng's father and Cheng's mother were immediately remorseful when they heard this, they shouldn't have forced their daughters to break them up, and they hurriedly persuaded Shen Zheng not to do this.

Lu Jing shook his head and sighed when he saw this, and then ordered: "Get pen and ink!" ”

Chang Xing hurriedly presented the pen and ink, and Lu Jing ordered him to write two letters of resignation from the marriage, and asked Cheng's parents, Xue Mo, and Fu Zuo to sign and stamp their handprints. He also wrote a marriage letter and asked Cheng's father to sign it with Shen Zheng.

Everything was settled, and Lu Jing said to Cheng's father: "Since the marriage has been withdrawn, the dowry of the Xue and Fu families still needs to be returned." ”

Cheng's father said with a sad face: "When the villain goes back, he will return the dowry of the two families." ”

Lu Jing said to Shen Zheng: "In this case, you can bring Miss Cheng back!" ”

The onlookers had already burst into tears, and at this moment, seeing that although Lu Jing withdrew from the marriage of the two families and fulfilled this pair of lovers, the woman was dead, and the man vowed to go with him, and scolded Lu Jing for being confused.

Shen Zheng knelt down and begged Cheng's father and Cheng's mother: "My son-in-law wishes to marry Yulian today and then hold a funeral." ”

Cheng's father said sadly: "Okay, let's do the marriage and funeral together today." Cheng's mother also cried and echoed.

Lu Jing said with a smile: "Why do you say such bad things on a happy day. ”

Shen Zheng, Cheng's father, Cheng's mother and others all looked at Lu Jing in confusion and anger.

Lu Jing immediately ordered the official media to come out, only to see him holding a small bottle, lifting the white cloth, and leaning towards Cheng Yulian's nose, Cheng Yulian instantly sneezed and woke up.

When the weeping spectators saw this, they were surprised that the dead man had come back to life.

The official media gathered in Cheng Yulian's ear and told her everything that happened just now.

Cheng Yulian couldn't help but stand with joy after hearing this, Shen Zheng, Cheng's father, and Cheng's mother all went up to ask what was going on.

Cheng Yulian hurriedly said: "The adult just beat her daughter with six sticks in the lobby, and after arriving in the back hall, she asked her daughter to get up, and only hit the mat, only to order her daughter to keep shouting, and then gave her daughter another pill, and her daughter fell asleep." ”

When everyone heard this, they understood that Lu Jing was testing a few people with this, and praised his clever methods, using the daughter of the Cheng family to fake her death to find out who was sincere and who was false, not only broke the lawsuit, but also fulfilled a pair of lovers, and applauded, and later someone made up a drama to praise Lu Jing's name.

Seeing this, Xue Mo and Fu Zuo secretly regretted it in their hearts, but they had already made a divorce contract, and they had no way to regret it, so they hurriedly left while people were not paying attention.

Shen Zheng and Cheng Yulian hurriedly kowtowed to Lu Jing and said, "Thank you, my lord." ”

Lu Jing smiled: "You don't have to thank me, if it weren't for the deep affection between the two of you, you wouldn't be able to make your wishes come true." ”

Shen Zheng bowed again: "My lord, forgive me, the student is angry in his heart, and he scolded the adult in his heart, it really shouldn't be, please punish the adult." ”

Lu Jing laughed and said, "What are you scolding me, scolding me for being a dumb official?" ”

Shen Zheng hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and said: "If the adults are dumb officials, the students would rather be like this for all the officials in the world." ”

Lu Jing waved his hand and said with a smile: "I see that you have passed the government examination at a young age, and you are also quite talented in your poetry, so remember to study hard in the future and serve the court as soon as possible." ”

Shen Zheng bowed again: "Students will definitely follow the example of adults and study hard." ”

Lu Jing nodded, and asked Cheng Yulian again: "Miss Cheng just received a scolding from the official and a few rods, she won't hold a grudge against the official, right?" ”

Cheng Yulian hurriedly said: "If you can get this result, the folk girl is willing to take a few more sticks and let the adults scold them again." ”

Lu Jing smiled and said, "Since your marriage is fulfilled by your own official, you must not let each other down in the future." ”

The two said in unison: "Life and death are not negative. ”

Lu Jing nodded, and ordered someone to take out a congratulatory ceremony to congratulate the two.

Cheng's father and Cheng's mother saw this and kowtowed to thank them, Lu Jing said to the two: "Although the marriage of children is the words of the parents' orders, but also ask the wishes of the children. ”

Cheng's father and Cheng's mother saw their daughter's expression and knew her intentions, and they were all apprehensive, and they hurriedly thanked them again.

Lu Jing stopped a few people and thanked them, and when he saw that Xue Mo and Fu Zuo had already left, and were about to send them away, he saw the guards returning with the jailer Wang Biao, accompanied by a strange man, and he was secretly surprised in his heart.
