Bao Tongtong sneered: "Defendant Chen Zhonghe, you don't admit to being unfilial, do you?" It doesn't matter that there are still witnesses here, and the plaintiff Chen Yaxue will be listed. ”

Bao asked the plaintiff Chen Yaxue to tell about the defendant's unfilial treatment of his mother Chen Luo, all of whom saw it, some of whom he witnessed with his own eyes, some people in the village could testify, and some of Chen Luo's maids and servants could prove it.

Chen Yaxue's words are clear-cut, well-organized, and subdued, not much worse than the lawyer Song Shixiong. Everyone nodded and praised frequently, and even Bao was nodding his beard, only the defendant Chen Zhonghe knelt on the ground and was silent, grasping the bluestone floor tiles with one hand, holding back the anger in his heart.

Li Guolou likes to watch people's movements and guess people's hearts the most, he looked at this scene, his eyes suddenly brightened, Chen Yaxue, who was in the prime of life, had a passable physique, wasn't it another Xu Xiaohu? Chen Yaxue and Chen Luo's secretly fornicated, and they already disliked that the young Chen Zhonghe was a burden, and Chen Zhonghe was about to reach the age of inheriting the family property. If Chen Luo's family remarries the housekeeper Chen Yaxue (equivalent to a servant), the family's money will not be able to bring much over, and they will all be taken by their son Chen Zhonghe, so how can they be willing. Therefore, Chen Yaxue and Chen Luoshi bribed Chen Yajun, the village leader of the village, and Chen Buli, the patriarch, to expel Chen Zhonghe from Chen Zhuang. A pair of dog men and women want to make Chen Zhonghe unfilial, unrighteous and unfaithful for money, which is similar to Xu Xiaohu and Wang Yixue in the Wei Mansion murder case.

Li Guolou looked up at Bao Tong, who was sitting on the public case, Bao Qingtian, who was very smart and principled, had already seen through the secrets hidden in this case, what did Bao Qingtian want to do? What adults do, Li Guolou can't guess.

Bao Yitong was shocked and shouted angrily: "Defendant Chen Zhonghe, what else do you have to say!" ”

The people in the court were all gone, Bao Qingtian was angry and was about to hit the board, and this time the defendant Chen Zhonghe was in a catastrophe.

Chen Zhonghe knelt on the ground and didn't say a word, he was originally a teenager with a strange temper and refused to listen to adults, and he made a mistake at this time.

Bao Tong sneered and said three times: "The defendant Chen Zhonghe despised the court and was heavily responsible for the 20th board!" Do you have any objections? ”

Song Shixiong put on his glasses and said with a smile: "There is no objection here, my lord is wise." "He is already as stable as Mount Tai, and he expects that the line of heaven and earth in this case has been set up, collecting money from people and eliminating disasters with people, and Wu Defu in the yamen has already collected money, so there will be no trouble.

Bao Tong glared at the defendant Chen Zhonghe angrily, picked up the fire stick in the bamboo tube on the case, threw it to the ground viciously, and said: "Give this official a heavy responsibility for the twenty boards!" ”

"What!" A full-faced official picked up the fire stick on the ground, and glared at Chen Zhonghe with desire, the opportunity to spank people is not every day, but it is a rare opportunity to make money but meet a master who has no money, don't you kill a stinky boy with a bad stick, and spread the evil spirit to the people.

The two officials who set up Chen Zhonghe's two arms looked at Wu Defu first, and saw if the person who spoke had any secret words, if there were no secret words, it would be a real fight! Don't show mercy.

Chen Zhonghe saw that he was really going to beat him, and shouted in a hurry: "Mom, mom, help!" Chen Zhonghe was dragged and pressed to the execution place, and he didn't stop screaming for a moment.

Chen Luoche, like before, was still wiping her eyes with tears, and she didn't open her mouth from beginning to end.

The execution is to take off the pants, and it is the same for both men and women, so if it is a woman's execution, what will it be? Feudal society does not treat women as human beings, and has come up with many criminal laws that specifically deal with women, and few women can withstand the punishment, and the blood is stained in the court, and there is only imperial power here, and there is no human rights at all. (It's fake to hit the board without taking off your pants, but that's the way it is in the real scene, in order to prevent the tortured person from cheating, put something on the buttocks.) ）

The execution was just in front of the crowd watching, and the person with a long neck was addicted to it, and it was worth it once. Chen Zhonghe was tied hand and foot with torture equipment and could not move, so the two officials picked up the board and began to swing it. The buttocks were beaten down on the board, and within a few strokes, there were already blood marks, and there was a servant next to him who reported the number, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ninety." ”

And when Chen Zhonghe was beaten, he screamed, and his voice was miserable, like a pig screaming, which caused bursts of laughter in the crowd. It's a perverted way of making amusement, and people go into the lobby for money just to see this kind of punishment, and if a woman is beaten, they scream even harder.

When they hit ten boards, Bao shouted together: "Wait! ”

The two officials who played the board immediately stopped the execution, they had long been trained to obey orders, and there were often times when the execution was stopped, and the mood of the adults changed three times a day, and they could get a new reward at any time.

"The official suddenly remembered, the plaintiff Chen Yaxue is a slave of the defendant Chen Zhonghe's family, how can you let the little master suffer, but you snickered, sharing the master's worries is the slave's own job. Lawyer Song, do you say that this official is reasonable? Bao Yi seemed to have just figured out this truth and took Song Shixiong's army.

Song Shixiong looked at Wu Defu next to him, and said hurriedly: "Master Bao Mingjian, Chen Yaxue is already the head of the Chen family, not an ordinary slave. ”

Bao Tong said angrily: "Master Song, are you saying that the housekeeper is not a slave?" Do you not agree with this official's statement, then do you still want to revise the laws of the Qing Dynasty? ”

Song Shixiong's face changed suddenly in a hurry, and he looked at Wu Defu, I don't know what the chief is worried about? If he said inappropriate words, violated the laws of the Qing Dynasty, was seized by the chief, dismissed his reputation on the spot, and deprived him of his talent status, then he could not be a lawyer.

Song Shixiong bowed his head and said: "Don't dare, Lord Bao is reasonable, and the manager is also a slave." ”

Bao looked at the expression on Song Shixiong's face, as if he was going to grab something? Bao Tong ignored the arguments of the plaintiff Chen Yaxue, threw out the fire stick, and said angrily: "Give this official a hard beating!" ”

Now it was lively, and the crowd began to laugh, watching two people take off their pants and play the board at a time. "Crackling!" The sound continued, and ten sturdy boards hit Chen Yaxue's buttocks.

The official who hit the board did not dare to disobey the commander's will, and Lord Bao said, "Beat hard!" The two officials used the skills of the housekeeper to beat down with ten boards, Chen Yaxue's buttocks had already blossomed, and blood was flowing out. Chen Yaxue wanted to save face and endure the pain, but just snorted a few times, not as miserable as Chen Zhonghe screamed.

Chen Zhonghe, who was lying on the torture instrument on the side, gloated, turned his head to look at Chen Yaxue sideways, with a smile on his crying face, and his expression was as strange as it was.

Everyone in the court had different expressions, and some people had already begun to tremble, knowing that the official master's power was not over, and they had no good fruit to eat.

Bao picked up a fire pick in his hand, this action is terrifying, I don't know who will be unlucky next?

"Rebel son Chen Zhonghe, at a young age, he actually committed a big crime of unfilial piety, the death penalty has to be escaped, and the living crime is inevitable, the official will first punish you with a good life, and then hit fifty boards!"

Chen Zhonghe was so frightened that he almost fainted, and if he hit fifty more boards, he couldn't bear it, didn't he want his life? shouted: "Lord Bao spares his life, the villain knows that he is wrong, and he will never dare to ······ anymore"

Bao said angrily: "Defendant Chen Zhonghe, what are you yelling at? Give me ten slaps in the mouth first. ”

Chen Zhonghe was picked up by the big man and slapped his mouth with a bamboo ruler, "popping ······" It was ten strokes left and right, and now Chen Zhonghe couldn't even speak, his mouth was full of blood, but fortunately, the executioner did not use a trick, and Chen Zhonghe's teeth were not knocked out.

Bao Tong's heart was full of anger, he opened the court today to punish these traitors, he had already planned the next move, the criminal was waiting for his verdict, and he wanted to give the criminal a fatal blow.

Bao was furious and shouted: "How can you be allowed to roar above the defendant Chen Zhonghe's court, the judgment of this official is based on evidence, according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty." Do you have any objections? ”

Lawyer Song Shixiong couldn't understand who Bao Yitong was going to help? Glancing at Wu Defu, he didn't get an answer. can only speak: "There is no objection to it, Lord Bao is wise." ”

Everyone's eyes in the court are focused on Master Bao, he is Wenqu Xing, and the grievances and hatreds in the world are waiting for him to judge.

"If the official didn't finish talking just now, since the defendant Chen Yaxue is willing to come forward on behalf of the master to accuse the defendant Chen Zhonghe of the crime of unfilial piety, he must also share the worries of the little master and do a good job of the duties of a slave. These fifty boards are up to you. Call me! After saying that, the fire stick in Bao Yi's hand was thrown far away, and all his anger was vented on the fire stick.

The crowd was clamoring and discussing, and the causal relationship could be understood from Chen Luo's fainting movements.

The two executioners shot their eyes at Wu Defu again, but when they saw Wu Defu caressing his chin, he seemed to have nothing to do with him. The code word is to fight to the death, and if you can't kill a criminal, don't be a servant.

The spanking of the two executioners slowed down this time, and the sound of the board hitting the buttocks was not as sound as it had just been, and it made a dull sound all at once. They used yin energy, and this energy hit people's buttocks, even if they were steel and iron bones, they couldn't stand it, and people didn't die and got better slowly, and people didn't want to get up for a hundred days. The work of playing boards is all ancestral, and many of the ancestors of the servants and catchers are the descendants of the Jinyiwei of the East Factory of the Ming Dynasty. In this era, the father dies and the son replaces, the type of work does not recruit new people, the dragon gives birth to the dragon and the phoenix gives birth to the phoenix, the son of the mouse will make holes, many people's ancestors have been doing this work for generations, and some people will do it if they skin people alive.

At first, Chen Yaxue was still screaming, but after twenty hits, there was no sound, and the person had already fainted. Above the public court, there is only "crackling! The crowd returned to activity and began to cheer loudly, all shouting, "Bao Qingtian is wise!" ”

Bao Tong has swept his eyes to the patriarch Chen Buli and the village Zheng Chen Yajun, how can they do not go unpunished, a pair of sharp arrow-like eyes, which person stays on him, which person can't bear it, he can't stand it, he can't stand it, and shouts: "Lord Bao is wise!" The villain knows it's wrong! ”

Lawyer Song Shixiong is like an ant on a hot pot, constantly going around in circles, wanting to speak, but he doesn't dare, the execution is going on in the lobby, how can he interject casually, roaring at the court is a big disrespectful crime. He could only pin his hopes on Wu Defu and gestured, "You took the silver, why don't you just take the silver?" ”

Wu Defu made a helpless move to let the flowers fall, looking up to the sky and sighing, as if he didn't have the art to return to the sky, "Lord Bao is powerful, he has done his best." ”
