Volume 1 Frontier Chapter 41 Guilt
In the surprised eyes of everyone, Lu Zhen pointed to the other two servants below: "You two, go over and continue the execution." ”
The two people who were ordered were obviously stunned for a moment, but since someone had already done it before, their psychological pressure and resistance were much lighter, and they quickly walked over to replace the previous two.
This time, the two messengers didn't dare to keep their hands any longer, and just like just now, they used enough strength to slam the board on Zheng Fu's body, so that the screams that he had just eased down sounded again, but they were three points stronger than before.
And just after they played five boards, Lu Zhen stopped again, and then ordered a new two to come and rotate. In this way, the torture was constantly changed, and after only a while, Zheng Fu's hind buttocks were already peeled open, and blood was flowing everywhere, looking miserable. And his screams also turned low from high-pitched to low with the whipping of the board, and finally there was only a soft moan, and if you didn't listen carefully, you couldn't hear the movement.
The people outside showed fear on their faces at this time, they could see that Lu County's order was to severely punish Zheng Dianshi, and they hated him to the bone, and constantly used new forces to torture him, which was really frightening.
Only a few people guessed the deeper purpose. Hou Xiancheng and Shen Zhushu glanced at each other, and they both saw the fear in each other's eyes. Lu Zhen did this, not only to make Zheng Fu suffer more, but to divide the relationship between those servants and Zheng Fu. Now that they have all dealt with it, it is impossible for the two parties to be as united as before.
Even if Zheng Fu can endure his anger because of his own interests and don't care, he is afraid that these officials who have done it will also have some concerns, so they will fall to Lu Jin. Such a strategy of killing two birds with one stone not only made Zheng Fu angry, made Zheng Fu ugly, but also divided the relationship between the two sides, which is really clever.
Just when everyone was amazed by the situation in front of them, two more messengers stepped forward, and after two blows, one of them suddenly stopped and shouted, "Master, four...... Zheng Fu fainted. ”
This burst of solid boards actually knocked Zheng Fu out directly, which made people gasp again. And in terms of the number of boards, if you really count from the real battle, now it is only about 20 boards, if it is really full, Zheng Fu will not die and have to cut off half of his life.
Just when everyone thought that Lu Zhen would let people continue to torture, he waved his hand and said: "Okay, drag people back, the official still has something to ask him!" ”
The two officers were obviously relieved, if they beat someone to death while they were being tortured, it would be difficult for them to be in the county in the future. Hearing this, he hurriedly pulled the person up from the ground and dragged him back to where he had been standing. This road was dragged in, and there were traces of blood on the bluestone-paved ground, which made many people's scalps tingle.
After Lu Zhen glanced at Zheng Fu, who fell to the ground like a dead dog, he turned his gaze to Tian Kui again: "Tian Kui, don't you still admit your guilt?" ”
Although his tone of voice this time was much softer than before, Tian Kui, who was named, trembled as if he had been struck by lightning. Zheng Fu's fate just now was really terrifying, so he didn't dare to quibble anymore - even the dignified Zheng Dianshi was beaten like this, if such a small person as himself really annoyed the county magistrate, wouldn't it be a dead end?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The grass people are guilty, what they told before is the truth...... There was still some troublesome interrogation before, and it was completely solved because of Zheng Fu's matter, which was a bit unexpected by Lu Jin, and the people around him were not too surprised, Zheng Fu's punishment had too much impact on them, relatively speaking, Tian Kui's confession was nothing at all.
But Lu Jin did not let him go because of this, but stared at him deeply again: "When King Shicai told his grievances, in addition to suing you, he also sued Zheng Fu, the canonical history of the county government. Later, the official also discovered that there were indeed people from the yamen behind the case. Let me ask you, is all this Zheng Fu doing? ”
Tian Kui's body shook again, but at this time, he was already frightened, how could he dare to lie, he could only tell the truth.
As Lu Zhen speculated, it was Zheng Fu who helped him settle the previous murder and land seizure, and in this matter, he also got the benefit of tens of thousands of dollars, relatively speaking, more than half of the wealth of the Wang family that the Tian family won by his ingenuity fell into the hands of his Zheng Dianshi.
After saying this, it naturally caused a commotion among the people outside the hall, and some of them boldly began to curse, if it weren't for the prestige of the county commander, I was afraid that they would pick up the stones on the ground to smash the corrupt official.
Lu Zhen paused slightly, and then glanced at Tian Kui: "I see." Hand me the confession and ask him to sign it! ”
The clerk who was recording on the side hurriedly got up and took the shorthand confession to Tian Kui. He only swept it hastily, and knew that it was all his own confession, although he was miserable and unwilling for a while, but under the pressure of Lu County's order, he could only take a pen and sign his name at the bottom, and then put a fingerprint.
Lu Zhen took the confession and carefully scanned it to confirm that it was correct, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. With this confession in hand, he has been completely invincible. It seems that he did the right thing this time, Zheng Fu has no backer, and it is impossible to overturn the case.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Zheng Fu, who was in a coma, again: "Bring a scoop of water and splash him awake for me." ”
Since the messenger below got on the thief ship, there was naturally no way back, so he had to agree, rushed outside to get cold and biting water, and poured it on Zheng Fu's head. He was originally unconscious, and he was so excited by the cold water that he woke up immediately, but the whole person had no energy, and even looked ahead in a daze.
"Zheng Fu, in addition to the various crimes committed by Shicai, there is also evidence here that you colluded with the Tian family to pervert the law and disregard human life, what else do you have to say?" Lu Zhen lit up the confession in his hand and asked in a cold voice.
Zheng Fu's already pale face became more and more ugly at this moment, although he couldn't see the content on the paper clearly because of the distance, but he knew that Lu Zhen was definitely not lying and threatening, and he was indeed held by the other party.
Wild geese all year round, I don't want to be pecked by geese today. He was actually defeated in the hands of the young county magistrate who had always despised him, which made Zheng Fu not know how to react for a while, so he could only look up at the front in a daze, unable to say anything.
And his reaction fell into the eyes of others, that is, he was intimidated by Lord Lu's official authority and righteousness, and he did not dare to argue and confessed his guilt. This made many people look at Lu Jin's eyes with a little more awe, this is the Qingtian Lord that everyone needs!
Lu Zhen didn't delay any longer, and immediately made another shock: "Although the truth of this case has been ascertained, it involves three innocent victims, and it is also related to the imperial court officials, and this official does not dare to be arbitrary, so it was decided to report to the Datong prefect's yamen, and the boss yamen will make a decision." ”
After a pause, he deliberately mentioned it again: "Today, the official will tell you what he said, Zheng Fu's crime must be more than this, and the official will definitely continue to investigate." I also hope that you can report everything you know to the government, so as to redress people's grievances and set the record straight! Retire! ”
As soon as he said the word "retreat", the officers on both sides suddenly shouted with full spirit, which was much more majestic than the scene when he was promoted to the hall just now.
Many of the people outside the hall fell into contemplation at this time, many of them were either in person, or their relatives and friends had been bullied by the Zheng family, should they continue to report him according to the intention of the county magistrate?
Looking at everyone's thoughtful appearance, Hou Xiancheng and Shen Zhushu's eyes showed a strange look. The two quickly retreated to the second hall, and when they walked far away from the people, they couldn't help but sigh: "This Lu County Order is really clever and interlocking!" ”
"Yes, in fact, his goal at the beginning was Zheng Fu, no wonder You Chang would end up like this."
Speaking of this, the two of them paused for a moment, and they already understood something: "In this way, I am afraid that today's lawsuit may be deliberately promoted by him......" This made them feel a chill in their backs, this young man really dares to think and dare to do, and the means are ruthless!
"How much do you think he's worth? You must know that Zheng Fu is not alone, he also has the Zheng family, and ......" Hou Xiancheng asked softly, but he didn't dare to say the words casually.
Master Shen was silent for a moment: "If it were before today, I would say that he didn't even have a chance of winning. But right now, it's hard to say. Although our Lu County Commander is not very old, he is extremely thoughtful, and no one knows how he will deal with the next situation. ”
"Hey, I hope there will be no big mess because of this......" Hou Xiancheng sighed lightly, but his eyes were full of worry, but he knew how difficult those Qiu Batou soldiers were, once they really got into trouble, it would be really unreasonable for Xiucai to meet the soldiers.
Unlike the two of them, the ordinary people were quite excited about this result, and after coming out of the yamen, they all talked about how wise Lord Lu was to land.
After this interrogation, it really took a lot of work, starting from the beating of the drum in the early morning, to the subsequent ascension to the court after a few hours, now the sun has been a little westward, and everyone has been hungry for most of the day, but everyone does not feel the slightest hunger and thirst at all, and only wants to tell everyone who knows what they see and hear, and they seem extremely excited.
And in this way, the incident in today's county government also spread all over the city in a short period of time, and quickly spread into a big mansion, which is the Zheng family's house.
When an old man with a gray beard learned the news, he was so shocked that he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. Finally, he said slowly: "Go and invite Mr. Wang, this matter is not trivial......
