Chapter 52: Court Trial
Last time, it was said that Tang Zhou was sent to the lobby of the Sili Yamen.
The yacha threw Tang Zhou to the center of the hall and made him kneel on the ground.
The yacha, who was in charge of holding down Tang Zhou yesterday, walked to the high platform at the back of the hall and said to the official who was sitting on the stage: "My lord, this person beat the drum yesterday and sang his grievances, and he has already received ten killing sticks. ”
The official man held the book in his hand and rested it on the table in front of him, but his eyes did not look at the book, but at the sky, he didn't know what he was thinking, he was so engrossed that he didn't seem to hear anyone talking to him.
The yacha is not good again, for fear of shocking the official master, the official master is angry, and in the end he will harm himself and be scolded in vain. So he could only step aside and wait for the official master to figure out his own affairs first.
Thinking that he was a little thirsty, the official reached out to take the cup on the table, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that there seemed to be a figure in the hall, so he retracted his thoughts and asked impatiently, "What's going on?" Then he looked at Tang Zhou for a while, and found that it was a mud leg, and he was even more unhappy, and asked the yacha: "Why do you all go here?" Don't you know that this official is very busy? The uncle of the waiter is going to have his birthday at the end of the month, and the official hasn't thought of what gift he can give him yet, so don't bother me if you have anything to do! Drag away, drag away! As he spoke, he waved his hand and asked the officials to pull Tang Zhou away.
When Tang Zhou heard the word "waiting", he was stunned in his heart: Don't you say that this waiter is a seal, right? He watched as the yasmen approached him, as if they were going to drag him away. He hurriedly crawled forward with his hands and feet as fast as he could, and when he got under the stage, he grabbed the foot of the table in front of the official with both hands, and shouted: "I have something important to report!" ”
Tang Zhou couldn't care about it so much, no matter whether this official had anything to do with Feng Zhen or not, he could only gamble again. Because if he changes to another yamen to sue, he doesn't know if he can be so lucky, and if he can survive another killing stick. And he was about to be dragged out and beaten again, because failing to sue for success was a false accusation, and according to the law, he would be beaten with 30 boards. Now, I don't say it's death, but if I say it, there may be a glimmer of hope for life.
When the official heard Tang Zhou's words, he became even more angry, thinking: What big deal can these mud legs have? Either the next-door neighbor stole his eggs, or the rainwater from the neighbor opposite flowed into his house, all trivial matters. I don't see them doing business, and I know all day long that I came to the yamen to sue the officials. So he shouted in annoyance to the yachas: "Dead to death, throw him out of me!" ”
When the yacha heard this, they broke Tang Zhou's hands even harder, and some people had already picked up the sticks and were ready to beat this guy who didn't have long eyes.
At this critical moment, Tang Zhou could only give up for his own life, and shouted: "The Taiping Sect is going to rebel!" The Taiping Sect is going to rebel! "Tang Zhou originally planned to tell the official master alone, because there were more people who knew, so he might have thinned his credit; Or maybe there are Taiping Sect disciples present who will report what happened here to the upper echelons of the Taiping Sect, and let Zhang Jiao and them launch it in advance, then the effect of their own whistleblowing will be greatly reduced, and their own merits will of course be discounted; What's more, if Feng Yu knew that the matter was leaked by himself, he would directly kill himself, and then he would suppress the matter.
Please support the genuine version of the book friends, please go to QQ to read or any other website under China Literature to support the author, I am very grateful.
As soon as the official heard the word "rebellion", he immediately ordered the officials to stop. Although he hadn't heard clearly who or what was going to rebel, if the big case of rebellion was solved in his own hands, then his own credit would be great. Regardless of Zhang San, Li Si, Chen Wu, Wang Liu, those who have money or those who don't have money, as long as the official has a certificate in hand, they can't rebel if they want to.
In order to show how much attention he attaches to it, the official master stood up, put aside the yacha, walked around to the table, squatted in front of Tang Zhou, approached him, and asked softly: "Who are you talking about just now to rebel?" ”
Tang Zhou was frightened for a while, but he didn't get used to this sudden change for a while, so he continued to shout loudly: "It's the Taiping Sect that wants to rebel!" ”
The official master was yelled in his ear by Tang Zhou, and his ears were directly "buzzing", and he couldn't hear anything clearly. He was startled at first, and then he was so angry in his heart, he stared at the guy in front of him who didn't know what to do, and scolded in his heart: This dead ghost is trying to fix me, right? He raised his hand and wanted to shoot Tang Zhou to death, but when he saw Tang Zhou's sloppy appearance, he felt that he would get his hands dirty, so he stood up and said to the yacha: "Drag him down and hit 30 boards." ”
Tang Zhou really hates himself for having no brains now, and he owes it. The official master was fine just now, why did he suddenly kill himself again? He let go of the table leg in a panic, and instead hugged the official master's thigh, crying loudly: "The eldest master spares his life!" The old man spares his life! Tears and snot stuck to the official man's robe.
The official wanted to kick Tang Zhou's foot away, but his foot was too dead to exert his strength; wants to kick with another foot, but is afraid that Tang Zhou will drag his center of gravity and feet, which will cause him to be unstable and appear foreign; If you want to beat Tang Zhou with your fists, then you will lose face and lose your identity.
As for the yachas, there is no way to do it for a while. If you want to drag Tang Zhou away, I'm afraid of getting the official master; If you want to hit Tang Zhou's board directly, you are still afraid of hurting the official master.
In this way, Tang Zhou hugged the official master's thigh tightly and cried for a while under everyone's gaze, which was very short. When his excitement passed, his voice began to become smaller, his speech slowed down, and the strength in his hands became smaller. After all, these days, Tang Zhou has not been able to rest well, and his body, which was not strong, has become even weaker after such a toss.
The official master felt that Tang Zhou's strength in holding his leg had weakened, and he immediately kicked him away with a force, glared at his pair of triangular eyes, and shouted at the yachas: "Don't drag him down quickly!" Hit 50, no, hit 100 boards! Just go! ”
The yacha immediately dragged Tang Zhou and dragged him out.
Tang Zhou exhausted his last strength, and said weakly: "The Taiping Sect wants to rebel." ”
This time, the official master heard it clearly, first, he was close, and second, Tang Zhou spoke very slowly this time, so it was easier to understand what he was talking about. Tang Zhou was excited and spoke quickly, so the official master only heard the word "rebellion" clearly in the back, and he couldn't hear what was said in front of him.
Now that he understood, the official quickly stopped the actions of the officials again, pointed his finger at the two officials closest to him, and said, "Wang Chao and Wang Meng, you two take him to the back study, and I will personally interrogate him." ”
