"Lord Qiqi, the presiding judge, Lin Youwei, a prisoner, has brought it today, and I also ask the presiding judge to show it."

"Beat the cage and take it to the bottom of the hall to await the trial."

"Yes!"

Pang Qianshan, the commander of the Relief Army, received the order of the chief judge Yu Fusheng, and waved his big hand back, and there was immediately a sound of wheels. A moment later, four grinning soldiers escorted the already unsightly prisoner cart to the open space opposite the main trial table.

They resisted the desire to vomit, held their breath and carried Lin Siwei, who was already unconscious, out of the prisoner car. The four of them opened the dirty wooden flail with all their hands, and bluffed a face that they couldn't avoid, and threw the smelly Lin Siwei on the dirt with his hands.

Although those rotten radishes and rotten cabbage do not have much lethality; But now Lin Siwei is already an old man who is close to the age of sixties; No matter how well the body is maintained, it can't endure the torture of ten miles. When a few white radishes that were not rotten happened to hit the back of her head, Lin Siwei immediately fell into a semi-comatose state.

For healers who generally have a habit of cleanliness, it is already a blessing from heaven to be able to maintain a semi-comatose state in such a dirty environment.

Now that the wooden flail on his shoulders is gone, Lin Siwei, who is in a daze, only feels that his back is sore, swollen and painful, but also has an unprecedented lightness. She crouched weakly on the damp soil, only to feel that the slightly musty smell was unprecedentedly fragrant!

The person who is fully responsible for the security work of the "Public Trial Conference" is Pang Qianshan, the commander of the Worry Relief Army. Although he also held a grudge because of Wang Zhi's death, he didn't expect Lin Siwei to be made into what he is now. He turned his head to look at Lin Siwei who was lying in the dirt, and couldn't help frowning:

"Come on, take cold water and splash the first offender to wake up, I was going to verify my identity."

At the sound of an order, four or five strong men came; In the blink of an eye, everyone picked up two buckets of cold lake water and splashed it at Lin Siwei, who was covered in filth. After ten buckets of water were splashed, I could finally see some people. Pang Qianshan stepped forward, bent down and pulled Lin Siyou's hair, and carefully identified the other party's facial features.

"Back to the words of Lord Yu, the last general has already verified his identity, and this person is indeed the guilty woman Lin Youwei."

"Good work."

Yu Fusheng nodded to the other party, then picked up a file on the desk and walked to the crowd of onlookers.

"The official's surname is Yu Mingfusheng, his ancestral home is Longxi County, Minjiang, and he is now the vice chairman of the Nankang Cabinet Elders' Association. Today, on behalf of the Council of Elders and the Three Divisions, this official is presiding over the case of the nest of spies in the Northern Darkness. ”

After Yu Fusheng reported his home in a loud voice, the originally noisy crowd gradually became quiet. Everyone stared at Yu Fusheng, who was full of authority, waiting for the other party's next step.

"This official announces that the case of the spy nest in Youbei has officially begun to be tried!"

After speaking, Yu Fusheng turned around and nodded at a middle-aged long-bearded scribe; Then he walked back to the presiding officer and sat down; The scribe, with his long hair twisted in his hand, walked out of the main bench and shouted:

"Ahem, the woman in the court is the main culprit in this nest case. This person's real name is Lin Siwei, pseudonym Lin Youwei, now eight out of fifty, his ancestral home is Zhongshan, Youbei; There were also two accomplices, a husband and wife. The husband's family name is Chen Gongwu, who is now 60 years old and 7, and his ancestral home is Huaiyin County, Jiangnan; Chen is married to Mrs. Chang, who is now 60 years old and is a person of Yangxian in Jiangnan. Come on, bring the accomplice through the hall! ”

After the clerical officer's report, several strong officials, half-dragging and half-dragging a pair of richly dressed old couples with panicked expressions, came to Lin Siwu's side. The head of the soap class turned the water and fire stick in his hand, knocked on the knee socket of the husband and wife, and beat the two to their knees.

In fact, in recent years, the Nankang court has almost abolished this traditional mode of trial of cases. However, whenever a major case is tried in public, this set of outdated rules will still be picked up again. Not for anything else, just because this model has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and if you want to arouse the feelings of the people with the same hatred, you can only use this old rule.

No habit can be formed in a day; Of course, it doesn't happen in a day.

The presiding judge, Yu Fusheng, sat in the hall, looked at the two panicked accomplices, slapped the shocked wood in his hand, and said sharply:

"Criminals surnamed Chen, why did you and Lin Youwei get acquainted?"

"Lord Yu...... The villain is wronged! I wronged the villain! ”

Chen Gongwu, the retired "Wang Laohu", has long since lost his bravery. There is no need to be frightened by adults, he has already been "knocked" by the two gentle sticks. In a panic, he not only answered the question, but also knelt on the ground and kowtowed! The onlookers looked at the precious embroidered clothes on his body, and looked at his five-body cowardice, and laughed happily......

"Chen Gongwu, don't knock! This official asks you, why did you get acquainted with the criminal woman Lin Youwei, and why did you collude with her and be willing to do such evil things as betraying the country and seeking glory? ”

"Wronged, big man...... Wronged......"

Chen Gongwu, who is close to old age, seems to have entered a state of demonic obstacles; There are no other words in his mouth except to shout injustice; And the former "top head" of Yunxia Painting Fang, the current Mrs. Chang, saw that Lord Yu frowned, and his hand also stretched out to the torture sticker, and immediately raised his hand and slapped his husband:

"The older you get, the more assholes you get! Don't shout, whatever the adults ask us, you can say anything! At such an age, I am afraid of becoming such a virtue, and I don't know how to be ashamed! My lord, why don't you talk about it as a folk woman? ”

"Accurate!"

Mrs. Chang's family, worthy of being born as a bustard's mother, speaks clearly and with a crisp voice; It didn't take long to completely shake out Lin Youwei's bottom line; By the way, with a few words, he also picked up his husband and wife cleanly.

However, although most of what she said was the truth, it was clear that this set of statements was not the "truth" in Yu Fusheng's mind. After listening to Mrs. Chang's self-defense, Yu Fusheng shook the wood in his hand again, pointed at Mrs. Chang with horizontal eyebrows, and said:

"Okay, you are a bad woman, and you will pick yourself clean in just a few words, do you think that the official is confused, the senators, and the villagers who came to hear the trial are also confused? It seems that your husband and wife have made up their minds and got on the big boat on Youbei 3rd Road...... Okay, well, today the official will take a look, whether it is your tongue that is hard, or the official's torture instrument is strong! ”

Speaking of this, Yu Fusheng took out two red torture sticks and threw them towards the hall:

"Come on, slap the mouth for this couple!"

The torture sticks landed in the wet dirt without making any sound. Two soap officials in high hats stepped forward, reached out and pulled out the wooden palms pinned to their waists, grabbed the Chen couple's hair buns tightly, rounded the torture instruments, and repeatedly whipped them twenty times.

As the saying goes, "industry is good at diligence and ridiculous at play", and the same is true of the craft of punishment. The executioner of the Nankang Yamen soap class is far from his counterparts in the Northern Yan Dynasty. If you play this "wooden palm mouth" to the fine, you can shoot a face full of blood in one or two hundred strokes, but in fact there is nothing to do, just a cracked lip; Of course, you can also pull it down with one palm, and you will knock out the four front teeth and the four tiger teeth together; If you really hate the other party, it's not difficult to slap a mouth in three clicks.

And these two soap officials who are in charge of punishment are both newcomers with little skill and experience. With only the brute force on their arms, they rounded the torture instrument and slapped it repeatedly on the lips of the Chen couple. In the first two strokes, there was the sound of a wooden board tapping against the teeth; But as soon as the five boards passed, only the sound of broken teeth scratching the wooden planks came out......

The goosebumps-giving "bang" sound came and went, and the onlookers covered their mouths and noses; They frowned and gasped; While staring at the middle of the execution ground with good eyes......

After twenty palms, the mouth and nose of the couple have all turned into a puddle of rotten meat; From a distance, all you can see is an irregular black hole, and two tortured people who roll their eyes......

"Can you say it now? Prisoner Chang Shi, your husband and wife are clearly from Jiangnan Province, but why are you so stubborn and tight-lipped for a spy in the Northern Secrets? ”

"Hmm...... Woowoowoooo......oo Hmph......"

Mrs. Chang's eyes were already black in pain, but she still struggled to push up half of her body with a strong desire to survive, and defended her heartbreak. It's a pity that her tongue, teeth, and lips are completely rotten; Except for the blood foam and minced flesh flying, there is no meaningful scale at all.

"What? What the? Prisoner Chang, you can make it clearer? …… Come on, come on, lean down and listen carefully to what she is saying! ”

"The students obeyed."

The middle-aged scribe in the newspaper hall spoke at this time. Immediately, he walked quickly to Mrs. Chang's side, bent down, and let the other party spray his face with blood; Only then did he stand up and replied loudly:

"Back to my lord! The prisoner said that she was willing to confess her guilt and tell the truth, so please don't continue to torture her! ”

When the people heard this, most of them were making fun of Mrs. Chang's soft bones; But after Mrs. Chang listened, she grinned into a "big black hole" and was stunned on the spot, staring at the middle-aged scribe in shock...

What Mrs. Fang Chang said was: She really didn't know that Lin Youwei would be a spy in the north, she just thought she was a hard-working girl. But the confession, which had been "translated" by the scribe, had nothing to do with her own words at all......

Mrs. Chang suddenly woke up, this group of people smashed their own couple's mouths, and they definitely had other plans! After thinking about this, she subconsciously turned around, wanting to check Chen Gongwu's tongue; However, at the first glance of Mrs. Chang, she only saw Lin Siwei's eyes full of pity and sorrow......
