"Caishikou, the execution ground?!" Feng Manlou was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, tell me in detail!" ”

Liu Dutou said: "It is the criminal in this case, the one named Xue Ba, who was taken out of the cell by Dai An and his master early in the morning, escorted to the entrance of the vegetable market, and prepared to be beheaded!" ”

Feng Manlou was stunned for a moment and said, "Nonsense! Isn't it the goods cut after the autumn, why are you so in a hurry? Why doesn't the county know! ”

Generally, in this era, the prisoners are beheaded at three o'clock in the afternoon, because the sun at this time is directly on the ground, and it is considered that the yang energy is at its peak. Those prisoners, executioners, etc., do not have to worry about being disturbed by the ghosts of prisoners.

Liu Dutou saw that it was still early, so he deliberately concealed it for a while, anyway, it was too late for the county magistrate to rush over to stop it, this was also to give Diane some eye medicine, which completely made them lose the possibility of resolution!

Liu Dutou said: "This is what Master Dai meant, he said that this case was not judged by an adult, and there was no need to ask an adult, but he just asked Wei Xiancheng for instructions, and then took the prisoner away." The subordinates were not at ease and followed over, but as a result, just now, just now, just after noon, Master Dai looked at the hour and was preparing! ”

Speaking of this, Liu Du was out of breath, and Feng Manlou hurriedly said: "Don't panic, speak slowly!" ”

Liu Dutou picked it up and said, "When Master Dai was about to prepare, he saw a big man rushing out of the oblique thorn, shouting that Hugh was going to hurt my brother's life, so he went straight to the execution ground. As a result, more than 20 people who specialize in catching thieves can't stop him! ”

When Feng Manlou heard this, he hurriedly said: "What are you doing here, don't hurry up and go to the execution ground!" "I thought to myself, if someone dies, it won't end well.

Sun Hu next to him asked silently: "My lord, what does this Xiao Huan do?" ”

Feng Manlou said: "Take it with you!" ”

Sun Hu also asked, "What about Mrs. Xiao?" ”

Feng Manlou thought for a while and said, "Don't alarm him for the time being!" ”

The laws of the Great Song Dynasty stipulated that women who committed the crime of annihilation and needed a cane must take off their pants and receive a cane. For women, this is not only a cruel physical suffering, but also an embarrassing spiritual humiliation. This provision also creates a social ill, if there is a grudge between the relatives and neighbors of the people, one party will chase after the wind and shadows, look for the incident, accuse the other party of the women in the family of having a bad relationship, and then bribe the government to let the government arrest the woman and receive the cane.

On the day of the execution of the sentence, the plaintiff made an appointment in advance to gather relatives and friends and come to the court together, called "watching and beating". They also spent money to buy penal servitude, and humiliated the tortured women in every way during the execution. The officials are very good at doing this, and their methods include "digging taro", "digging water chestnuts", "cutting gourds", "peeling water chestnuts" and so on.

Sometimes, before the county magistrate was promoted, the official first took off the defendant's woman's pants to show the public, and then dragged her to the street in front of the door, calling it "selling meat." In such a situation, some women could not bear such humiliation and committed suicide after returning home.

There is also a custom: the accused women must walk barefoot. Before leaving the court, he was temporarily detained in front of the yamen wearing torture instruments. At this time, the enemy family took the opportunity to make trouble, and instigated the scoundrel children to take off the woman's shoes and pants.

If the county magistrate doesn't show up on this day, he will still make trouble the next day. After passing through the hall, they were imprisoned in front of the yamen for a day, and the scoundrels came to watch, touching and teasing, laughing and teasing. The women were humiliated and some were killed on the spot.

Feng Manlou has been here for so long, and he has heard of it, so he can't bear it, after all, this is an insult to personality, although the woman breaks the law, you can use the law to punish it, but at least the personality, there is still there.

Therefore, if Xiao Huan is brought along, under his nose, this kind of thing is not expected to happen. The imperial court stipulated that the punishment of flogging was the buttocks, that is, spanking. If a woman sins a crime, she needs to use a cane, which is also a cane. The Great Song Dynasty had a rule of "removing clothes and receiving rods". And being toyed with by cell bosses in the prison is even more commonplace.

A group of people hurried to the entrance of the vegetable market, but saw that the battle was going on! I saw that there were already four or five catchers lying on the ground, and more than a dozen catchers were fighting with them, oh, it should be a strong man!

When Feng Manlou saw it, he was immediately stunned, the strong man was none other than Dong Chao, who was rescued by the mountain temple on the way to Yuhang!

"Dong Chao, don't stop yet!" Feng Manlou shouted: "Stop, stop!" ”

Sun Hu and Wang Ying hurriedly rushed forward and separated the catchers from Dong Chao. Dong Chao was surprised when he saw that the person who came was the wind full of buildings. I remember that Feng Manlou once said that he was the new magistrate of Yuhang, and I was still doubting at the time, how could a young man in his twenties become a magistrate, and now I look at it, it is really so!

When the catchers saw that the county magistrate had arrived, they didn't know what to do. Now he is under the direct jurisdiction of Master Dai, although Feng Manlou is the county magistrate, but this is a typical county official is not as good as the current management, so he hesitated for a while. More importantly, everyone knows Sun Hu Wang Ying's methods, so no one dares to do it for a while!

On the platform over there, when Diane saw it, he hurriedly ordered the catchers to stop, get off the stage, and meet Feng Manlou and said: "Subordinate Diane, I've seen my lord!" ”

Feng Manlou asked, "Why is that?" ”

Diane hurriedly told him how to prepare to escort the prisoner to the execution ground and how to prepare for the execution, and then said that just after noon, suddenly this strong man was about to come out.

Feng Manlou asked: "Master Dai, this official has read the file, isn't it the autumn queen who was sentenced to ask for beheading, why did he behead it today?" ”

Diane hurriedly said: "Have you forgotten that yesterday was the beginning of autumn!" ”

Feng Manlou was stunned for a moment, and really forgot about this matter, and he didn't dwell on it here, but just asked: "In this case, the execution of the prisoner, can there be the official's collusion flower?" ”

Diane hurriedly said: "My lord, this case was tried by Wei Xiancheng at that time, and the lower officials were in a hurry for a while, and they couldn't see the adults, so they took Wei Xiancheng's trick to come here!" ”

Feng Manlou shouted: "Nonsense! Without the official's monogram, you dare to execute without authorization, are you the county master, or is the official the county master? Fortunately, the official sent someone to follow, otherwise something would have happened! ”

When Diane heard this, he said that he sent someone to follow, could it be that this strong man was sent by Feng Manlou? But he said: "My lord, this person trespassed on the execution ground and intended to rob the prisoner, but he is guilty of the same crime as the death row prisoner!" ”

Feng Manlou scolded: "Nonsense! This person's name is Dong Chao, and he was secretly sent by the county to investigate this case, Master Dai does not act according to the laws and regulations of the imperial court, of course he has the right to stop it! ”

Feng Manlou also knew that if he stopped the execution today, he would inevitably be opposed by Diane, so he also made full preparations and first gained the upper hand in the law.

Diane was unexpectedly stunned for a while, thought about it, and said, "The subordinates are also handling according to Wei Xiancheng's wishes!" For a while, all the responsibility was put on Wei Zhongshu. I thought that I hadn't officially pulled off my face yet, and I had to give some face anyway. Besides, if you really investigate it, you are not afraid, this is completely reasonable and legal, but it just doesn't give the county master face.

Feng Manlou didn't pay attention to it and said, "Since this is the case, the official will not pursue it!" However, this official flipped through the file and found many doubts, and I want to reiterate this case! ”

When Diane heard this, he hurriedly said, "My lord, I'm afraid this is not appropriate!" The case file has been reported to the prefect's yamen, and the prefect's yamen has already been reported to the criminal department for the record. ”

Feng Manlou said: "This official will find out the truth, and will report this case to the prefect's yamen, as for the criminal department, it will naturally be reported, and at the same time, it will also be played to the court to explain the original situation!" ”

When Diane heard that the wind was full of buildings, she thought to herself that this was a guy who didn't know the height of the sky, and his tone was so big! There must be a problem!

And Feng Manlou's heart is even more weird, it stands to reason that this Diane will definitely try his best to stop himself, now it is just a symbolic statement, there must be something strange in this, what is going on today, there are strange things!

Fortunately, that Dong Chao's subordinates are merciful, otherwise these fast catchers may lose many lives, Feng Manlou said: "You have worked hard, the official is responsible for compensating everyone for the medical expenses, don't worry, and give everyone half a month's leave, and the salary will be paid as usual!" ”

Although the salary of the imperial court is managed by the owner of the thin money Weilun, but there is no Fengmanlou Zhixian Dayin, and it has always been inaccurate, so everyone also believes in Fengmanlou's words. When Feng Manlou came out of the house, he brought enough money, and his own money was not small, so he didn't care!

This trick is really clever, it bought so many people's hearts at once, and it also let Diane's subordinates rest for half a month at once, and now Diane has really become a master in the yamen, and there is no one to call again.

When everyone returned, Xue Ba pulled Dong Chao with a touched face, this is not about his surname, but also to save his own life. This hard-hitting tough guy Xue Ba, when he was tortured by the county government, he didn't cry, even when he was dying just now, he was not afraid to cry, and when he saw Dong Chao desperately sacrificing his life to save him, he actually cried like a tearful man!

Dong Chao comforted him and said, "Don't worry, Lord Feng is a good person!" After telling him about his affairs in the mountain temple, Xue Ba said: "Lord Feng is kind to you and me, if I, Xue Ba, can avenge my grievances and get snow, I will voluntarily follow my lord and repay me by being a cow and a horse!" I just don't know what Brother Dong Chao means? ”

Dong Chao said with a smile: "I, Dong Chao, am single, just a good brother of you, naturally follow Lord Feng, as long as he does not dislike it, besides, Lord Feng is also a lifesaver for me Dong Chao!" ”

After speaking, the two hugged their heads and cried! It's a good feeling to be alive in the dead!

At this time, someone on the road actually began to distribute leaflets, Feng Manlou let people take a look at it, it turned out to be a money bank called Huitong Bank, said that it was opened in three days, and every deposit has been deposited, there is 20 Wen interest every year. Feng Manlou knew that this was Yang Hongcai's masterpiece, but he didn't expect Yang Hongcai to be so efficient. It's just that I clearly said that the monthly interest rate is 20 Wen, that is, the monthly interest is 2 percent, but after thinking about it, it is also very high, and the annual interest has reached 24 percent. It seems that women are still careful!

Of course, the effect caused by these leaflets soon became a kind of talking point in Yuhang County, and everyone discussed that this deposit not only does not charge, but also has interest, whether it is true or false! Although everyone was skeptical, it opened after three days, and I didn't know if I went to see it for myself when the time came.

And another thing that became a topic of conversation was the robbery of the execution ground at the entrance of the vegetable market, and Lord Feng still had to try this case, so everyone spread the word of mouth, and soon gathered over, waiting to see Feng Manlou try this case!
