Under the official authority of the He Governor's Mansion, the thief quickly confessed, and he didn't even use the punishment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Under the order of Lord Fuzun, the catchers set out again and went to Zhang's house to get people.

The first time he passed through the court, Zhang Chengzhi did not let go of his mouth and flatly denied the murder.

With the identification of human witnesses, He Zhifu did not have so much patience to grind with him, and he was directly sentenced.

No matter how steel and iron you are, you can't bear all kinds of punishments.

After several tortures to extract a confession, Zhang Chengzhi finally confessed to the murder of Lu Cheng. It doesn't matter if Jin Mingchi did it himself or not, he recognized it anyway.

The prefect of He announced the verdict in court, Zhang Chengzhi attempted to kill, and because he did not cause major harm to Lu Cheng, he was exempted from the death penalty as appropriate and sent to the army.

The capital offense is reduced by one degree, that is, the conscription of the army, which is an additional punishment of exile.

Strictly speaking, however, conscription is more severe than exile, because exile, although it also requires hard labor, is not as harsh as in the army.

The decay of the Ming Dynasty's guard system led to soldiers being desperately squeezed by the generals, and their living standards declined.

In today's era, I don't know how many people want to get rid of the identity of military households, and there are countless sergeants who have fled.

This is still the case for ordinary soldiers, let alone criminals who have been assigned to serve in the army?

These conscripts are usually only sent to remote areas to do hard labor, and have no chance of promotion in the army, which is equivalent to a labor camp.

There is still a year left in exile, and conscription is often for life or eternal. The difference is that the former is only a lifelong soldier, while the latter has to bear hard labor for generations and can never get rid of such an identity.

Although confiscation is a substitute punishment for the death penalty, it is a lesser crime than the death penalty, but it can often make life worse than death.

The homeland is difficult to leave, and the people at this time have strong local feelings. In the case of inconvenient transportation, if you are sent thousands of miles away, it is likely that you will never see your relatives again in this life, and you will eventually die in a foreign land.

The most important thing is that the criminals cannot use transportation yet, and they need to trek through mountains and rivers along the way, relying on their own two legs to get to the distribution place. There is usually a special officer in charge of escorting, and when the temper is not very good, the criminal will inevitably suffer some flesh and skin on the road.

If the physical fitness is not good enough, maybe the person will die on the road before the place is reached.

The south sends the north, and the north sends the south.

was exiled to Lingnan, Guizhou and other wild and smoky places, whether Zhang Chengzhi can survive or not is really unknown.

But this has little to do with Lu Cheng, whether Zhang Chengzhi is dead or alive in the end, let God decide. It's kind enough to be able to do this by yourself.

After several tosses, a lawsuit was fought, and it was already the nineteenth day of the first month. Everything was able to fall to the dust, and the turmoil ended together with the 10-day Lantern Festival, which was held lively.

Some people are happy and some are sad, but it is the father and daughter of the Zhang family who are sad, but the children of the Zhang family are happy.

Zhang Chengzhi was temporarily detained by the government and waited for distribution, while Zhang He took Zhang Zijun back to Zhangjiazhuang in the southern city.

In this incident, the biggest vested interest is undoubtedly Zhang Chengyu.

After sending Zhang He away, he wanted to invite a few friends to the restaurant for a good meal, and he should celebrate for himself. I didn't want to get in the car just about to get in the car, a little guy came to the front and arched his hand: "Master Zhang Shao, my son-in-law has something important to discuss with you, and I bother you to go over." ”

When Zhang Chengyu heard this, he looked up behind him and saw a luxurious carriage parked on the side of the road not far away, which showed that the person who came had a very high identity. He nodded slightly, and walked in the direction of the cart under the guidance of the little servant.

In fact, Zhang Chengyu already knows who is coming at this moment.

This person is none other than the eldest son of Wang Qiong, the current Liang Fen Shoudao and Henan Right Political Envoy, Wang Chaoli.

Zhang Chengyu, as a local elite, naturally heard of Wang Chaoli, a famous son and brother who has been rampant in Kaifeng Mansion recently, and has also seen each other a few times.

However, the difference between the identities of the two is too big, so naturally there will be no friendship.

"Congratulations to Master Zhang Shao, who was able to achieve his wish." In the carriage, Wang Chaoli bowed his hand to him and flattered him.

"Wang Gongzi said that he laughed, why should we be happy about such things in our Zhangjia stall?"

As the saying goes, if you don't have anything to do, you can't go to the Three Treasures Palace, Zhang Chengyu of course knows that the other party can't just come to say such an insincere polite remark.

Wang Chaoli didn't plan to go around in circles with him, so he went straight to the point and said: "I'll just say it directly, I came to you because I wanted you to do something for me." ”

"What?"

"Kill someone!"

Wang Chaoli was blunt and expressed his intention to buy murder very simply.

Zhang Chengyu was shocked when he heard this, and asked quietly, "Who did you kill?" ”

"Kill your Zhang family's enemies, Lu Cheng!"

"This ------"

Zhang Chengyu pretended to groan, but his heart could no longer be described as frightened, and his thoughts flew back to the dilapidated hut, the last conversation between Lu Cheng and himself.

"If you want me to let you go, do one thing for me."

"What's the matter?"

"Keep an eye on the dynasty."

"The dynasty is ------ son of the king's family?"

"Exactly------ don't hesitate, I'll only give you one chance, yes or no?"

"I promise!"

"Excellent! So, we'll see you again. ”

Zhang Chengyu clearly remembered that Lu Cheng patted his shoulder at that time, and when he finally left, he didn't forget to turn around and leave a sentence: "Remember, don't think about dealing with me again, I won't give you a second chance!" ”

Wang Chao immediately saw that he hesitated for a long time, and he couldn't give an accurate word, so he immediately said unhappily: "What, you don't agree?" ”

Zhang Chengyu came back to his senses and hurriedly arched his hand: "Oh, Wang Gongzi is afraid that he has found the wrong person, our Zhang Clan Martial Arts Hall has not been doing this business for many years------ Wang Gongzi can rest assured, today's matter, he will definitely not confide in the outside world and say goodbye." ”

"Slow ------"

Wang Chaoli stretched out his hand to block the car door, stared at him fiercely, and sneered: "Zhang Chengyu, do you really think of yourself as a character?" What your Zhang family is doing for a living, my son knows it very well in his heart! Hehe------ it seems that you have just sat in the position of the young pavilion master, and you are too happy, and you dare not take our Wang family in your eyes! ”

"Wang Gongzi is serious, and there is no such meaning in the next place------"

"All I have to ask you is if you can take this job?" Wang Chaoli interrupted domineeringly.

Zhang Chengyu was silent for a moment, then shook his head resolutely and said: "Wang Gongzi inevitably thinks too highly of my Zhang family, this Lu Cheng, we can't afford to provoke it!" ”

Zhang Chengyu has always only considered himself, whether his life can be saved is the most important, even if he offends Wang Qiong for this?

Compared with the powerful and powerful Wang Qiong, he is most afraid of Lu Cheng now, which is a real ruthless character. Intuition told him that the group of people instructed by Lu Cheng was by no means comparable to ordinary outlaws, and their origins must not be simple.

No matter how powerful Wang Qiong is, he is only limited to official disputes, and he will not destroy his Zhang family for this trivial matter. To put it bluntly, now it is only Wang Chaoli who has a contradiction with Lu Cheng, and Wang Qiong is in Shangqiu, so he doesn't know about it.

Seeing that he was not threatened, Wang Chao was annoyed and angrily reprimanded: "Zhang Chengyu! This account, this son will remember it for you, get out! ”
