After sitting for a while, Liang Wensheng asked the handyman to invite Zhuang Wenxuan again. Now he feels more and more inseparable from him.

Zhuang Wenxuan listened to Liang Wensheng's words, and the situation of Qi Hongfu's interrogation just now. After thinking about it, he went back to his duty room and took a copy of "The Great Message", and turned it through it for a while. Then he said to Liang Wensheng: "My lord, there is a master behind this Qi Hongfu." ”

He then opened the "Great Message" and continued: "My lord, please look at this one. 'If the chief of the grain commits a capital offense or a wanderer, he may pay to atone for his sins. It is said that the chief of the grain can pay money to atone for the death penalty, but few people know which one is made. ”

"Well...... "Liang Wensheng is good at collecting thieves and catching thieves, but his research on various legal provisions is far inferior to Zhuang Wenxuan. This is why he didn't care about his face, and asked directly: "What is a miscellaneous capital crime?" ”

"Miscellaneous capital crimes are capital crimes other than the ten evils, intentional homicide, sitting against fate, guarding the prison and committing adultery, stealing people, and bending the law with money." Zhuang Wenxuan explained.

After hearing his explanation, Liang Wensheng still didn't understand, and he asked again: "For this case, you can talk about it in detail." ”

"I said that there are masters behind Qi Hongfu, and I am here. In this case, those who forcibly bought and sold, instigated and connived, falsified, raped, and perjured could all be atonemented by money, and they couldn't move him at all, not even the position of grain chief, so he dared to admit it all. And intentional homicide is not a miscellaneous capital crime, and he cannot pay money to atone for his crime. But he said that the deceased committed suicide by jumping up and hitting the dagger. It's reasonable to think about the situation at that time, but I really can't find a loophole at present. In this way, at most, he can only be sentenced to threats and intimidation, but he still can't be moved. ”

"It seems that it is really troublesome, he has the title of grain chief, and he can't be tortured yet. He insisted that the deceased committed suicide, and there was no evidence of his death, and we could not find evidence of his murder, so we could only conclude the case as suicide. Liang Wensheng was deflated and said dejectedly.

"In fact, it can be punished, but my "Da Ming Law" does not explicitly stipulate that grain chiefs cannot be punished." Zhuang Wenxuan reminded.

"That's easy to do, the next retrial will give him a punishment, just his pampered appearance, a few boards down, to ensure that he is obedient!" Liang Wensheng heard that he could be punished, and he regained his self-confidence.

"But there are also risks in using torture, and when the time comes, he will arch back, saying that you are tortured and tortured, and you will be beaten into a trick. It also has an impact on the official voice of adults. After all, he is the chief of grain, although the current grain growth is not as status as before, but if someone in the court takes advantage of the topic to play and make a big fuss, it will be very unfavorable to the adult's career. ”

"This ......" Liang Wensheng hesitated, for this case, it is still his own career that is important.

"My lord, in fact, we can still torture him a little, but not to make him arch, but to ......" Zhuang Wenxuan whispered in Liang Wensheng's ear.

Liang Wensheng laughed after hearing this: "Zhuang Zhimu, you are not only good at judging cases, but also very bad, cunning and bad. I like it though. ”

Zhuang Wenxuan thought to himself, I tried my best to give you advice, but you said that I was cunning and bad. Why do I have to worry about this? But thinking about Qi Hongfu's appearance after being recruited, he felt that he was indeed very bad. If it's bad, it's bad and breathable, he decided to give Lord Liang another bad idea.

"My lord, Xia Guan has another idea, since he asked you to calculate the money for your sins, obviously the master behind him didn't tell him how much money he needed to spend to atone for his sins, then the master might as well give him the calculation, but he can't tell him, but ......" Then he whispered in Lord Liang's ear again.

After listening to this, Liang Wensheng laughed again and said, "This idea is even worse than the idea just now!" Qi Hongfu will be interrogated tomorrow. ”

"Zhiyuan Zhiyuan, I heard that Qi Hongfu's old bastard was arrested yesterday and is about to be taken away!" Chen hurried home, and before he could enter the door, the voice arrived first.

"Okay, that's a good thing!" He Zhiyuan blurted out after learning the news. thought that Qi Honglie's family was unlucky, and his local tyrant brother would definitely not have good fruits to eat.

"It's good, but can our family's dozens of acres of land be redeemed?"

He Zhiyuan was almost stunned by thunder, and the old lady was worried that the fifty acres of land would not be redeemed. This brain circuit is so unusual! Such a good opportunity should fall into the lower stone, why are you stupid to redeem it?

Thinking of this, he said to his mother: "Mother, we don't have to redeem it this time, just go to the yamen to sue him." When the time comes, he will obediently return the fifty acres of land! ”

After that, he went into his hut, laid out paper and ink, and began to write the complaint. In the afternoon of the same day, he wrote the complaint and went to the county government with his father. There are people in the court who are good officials, and there are people in the yamen who are easy to do, He Zhiyuan and his son gave the complaint to Zhuang Wenxuan.

After Zhuang Wenxuan read the complaint, he said: "I will deal with this complaint, you don't have to worry about it, there have been more and more complaints against him in the past two days." Lord Liang is determined to get rid of this bully, so just wait for the good news. ”

Then Zhuang Wenxuan changed the topic and said, "Brother Shaoyun, Zhiyuan's nephew." The program of distributing food with soap has completely solved the two major problems of the victims of the food shortage in our state. After the thieves from all over the country learned of Lord Liang's thunderous methods, they also stopped a lot. Lord Liang is very important to your He family, and he is also very concerned about the cement that the virtuous nephew said last time. You must seize this good opportunity and strive for more opportunities. ”

"Thank you Brother Wenxuan for the reminder." He Shaoyun hurriedly thanked him.

Speaking of cement, He Zhiyuan immediately thought of the road, and now the roads in Juzhou are uneven, and even some places have been washed away by floods. It has been many years since the Shu River was silted up, the river was diverted, the wharf was destroyed, and it was not navigable. As a result, the transportation of goods is inconvenient and the circulation is blocked, which is also a cause of food shortages every year. In the future, if cement is produced in large quantities, such a bulky thing will definitely have a high transportation cost.

Thinking of this, He Zhiyuan said to Zhuang Wenxuan: "Shibo, I think that although the problem of disaster victims and food has been solved this year, if there is another disaster year, this situation will still occur." I have a one-and-done solution to this problem once and for all. ”

"What's the solution? Virtuous nephews are inspired by their ancestors, and they can always think of ideas that people can't think of. Through these few incidents, Zhuang Wenxuan has long stopped treating him as a child.

He Zhiyuan carefully said his thoughts. Zhuang Wenxuan said: "If this can be done, this is a great thing for the future, and it is possible to leave a name in history." I will definitely advise Lord Liang as soon as possible and implement it as soon as possible. ”

********

The next day, Liang Wensheng interrogated Qi Hongfu again in the second hall. Hearing that Qi Hongfu was arrested, the surrounding people all rushed to tell each other, and those who had been bullied, beaten, and forcibly sold their fields came to the state government to sue Qi Hongfu with their complaints. In just two or three days, the yamen received hundreds of complaints.

Qi Hongfu was not ashamed, came to the hall, sat down on the chair under the hall, and raised Erlang's legs again, full of aura, and his eyes were still staring at Liang Wensheng with a little provocation.

When Liang Wensheng saw his arrogant face, he was already full of hatred. Today, I'm looking for a way to beat you up, but you're very cooperative. Thinking of this, he slapped the stunned wood and shouted loudly: "Qi Hongfu! As the chief of grain, it is your duty to collect grain for the court and speak for the court, and the court has also given you enough preferential treatment. Not only are you not grateful to the court, but you share the worries of the court and the emperor, but in the year of the catastrophe, you took the opportunity of requisitioning grain to forcibly buy land, beat the people, make a windfall, rob the people's daughters, and rape to death. If you hadn't been a grain chief, you would have been tortured and beaten your ass! I came to the court today, without any guilt, and I still despised the court so much! Defy the Official! This official won't give you a small punishment today, you don't know the majesty of the court! Come on, give this official ten boards first! ”

After speaking, Liang Wensheng pulled out a fire stick and threw it majestically into the hall. It was only then that he found the feeling of being on trial.

Seeing Lord Liang going crazy, Qi Hongfu knew that he wanted bad food, so he quickly stood up and begged for mercy. But the officials didn't care about this, only to see four officials come up, one of the officials raised a stick of water and fire, and slammed the stick towards the crook of Qi Hongfu's leg, and Qi Hongfu's fat body pounced on the cold floor of the lobby. Then, two officials dragged him to a wooden bench, two of them held his shoulders in front of him, and the two officials in the back raised their sticks and slapped them on the buttocks.

The officials who executed had already been instructed, and this time they were beating the flesh and skin, not the bones. The two officials took the appropriate advantage, and after the ten sticks were beaten, the buttocks just bloomed, but it did not affect the action, nor did it affect the continuation of the trial.

After the execution, Qi Hongfu groaned and stood up, this time there was no longer the arrogance just now, and he stood respectfully under the hall. Liang Wensheng looked at him with a wicked smile and said, "Chief Qi Liang, sit down and talk." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" His ass has blossomed, where can he still sit. I hate Liang Wensheng so much in my heart that my teeth itch, I know that I just finished playing the board, and my ass is blooming and I can't sit, isn't he squeezing me? But I still have to say, "Thank you, sir, I'll just stand." ”

"Well, since you're not sitting, stand and talk." Liang Wensheng said with a wicked smile. Then he picked up a stack of papers and raised Qi Hongfu, saying, "Qi Hongfu, these are all accusations against you for forcibly buying land, beating people, abducting and selling good women, fraud, etc. ”

"So much?" Qi Hongfu was secretly surprised when he saw the thick stack. "This official has received a total of one hundred and nine complaints." After speaking, he asked Liang Wenhui, who was also the master of the elder to start reading, and it took him an hour to finish reading.

After reading it, Liang Wensheng asked again: "Is the content of these complaints true?" Do you admit it? ”

Qi Hongfu listened to the complaints, and was surprised at first, but then he became numb. I thought to myself that as long as the murder case didn't leak out, no matter how many of these cases were, it would be a matter of paying food and money. If there are more lice, it will not itch, and if there are more debts, you will not worry, since you admit ten pieces, it is the same for a hundred pieces.

Thinking of this, he replied, "It's true, I admit it!" ”

Liang Wensheng smiled slyly, thinking that as long as you admit it, it would be fine. This time it is guaranteed to make both the money empty and double the repayment!
