Li Siwei slapped the shocked wood and shouted: "Lu Zhaoyi, what else do you have to say?!" ”

"Li Yuanjun, a certain ......... Somehow wronged......."

"It seems that if you don't impose heavy punishments, you won't recruit people like you! Come on! Twenty rods to the officer! Li Siwei took out the order and threw it under the hall, and the official stepped forward to pick it up and immediately pressed Lu Zhaoyi down for execution.

According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, a special torture rod with a length of 3 feet 5 inches, a large head of 3 and 2 centimeters, and a small head of 2 centimeters and 2 centimeters of the small head was used during torture, and only the back, legs, and buttocks could be hit, and the three parts were required to be punished equally.

No more than three tortures can be used, and the total number of sentences must not exceed 200. If the defendant still refuses to confess after the statutory number of tortures has been reached, he may be released on bail and the plaintiff will be tortured in turn.

Lu Zhaoyi knew this law, so he endured it, hoping to get through.

The officials slammed their canes with their canes, and each time they let out a "Bang!" The loud sound made people's hearts tremble. After the twenty canes, Lu Zhaoyi's back, legs, and buttocks were already full of flesh and skin, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

"Lu Zhaoyi, do you recruit or not?!" Li Siwei drank again.

Lu Zhaoyi shouted to himself: "Li Yuanjun......... A certain wronged ......"

"How can this be justified, even want to quibble! Beat! Give this official another fifty big boards! ”

In ancient court trials, the defendant was forced to confess by severe punishment, which was the most common method used by officials.

"Boldly Diao people Lu Zhaoyi! Thy carriage shop has taken in the scoundrels of the traitorous department, who have bullied the market and oppressed the good. Violation of prohibition by force, extortion. Tax evasion and tax evasion, bad deeds. Guilty of a lot! After the Qiongzhou government interrogated the treasurer and steward of the Wanma Carriage Company, these people have confessed! Now that there are human and material evidence, how can you deny it! ”

Li Siwei ordered people to read out the confessions of Hu Nayan, Shui Yuesheng, Xie Laoqi and others in the court. In front of the testimony of so many witnesses, coupled with the heavy punishment, Lu Zhaoyi finally began to confess.

"Li Yuanjun, a certain ......... A certain trick. Here's the thing...... Zeng Yingfan wanted to expand his family's business, just two months ago, the Fang family in Shangxi Village and the Zhao family in Xiaxi Village in Xipu County. Because of the murder of Fang Tongliang, the head of the Fang family, a lawsuit was started, Zeng Yingfan felt that this was a rare opportunity, so he sent people to pay close attention to the movements of the Fang and Zhao families;

As a result, Zeng Yingfan heard that a person named Liu Erhu in Huojing County died because his father was poisoned by eating the Fang family's salt, and sued the Fang family to the Huojing County Ya.

Out of the righteousness of friends, he sent some people. and Jing Shisan, who supported the fire well, carefully investigated and found that Liu Erhu's father was poisoned and died unusually, and it was likely that he was instructed by the Zhao family to deliberately frame the Fang family. It's just that we didn't find hard evidence. It's hard to talk nonsense.

After Huojing County seized the Fang family's salt shop, Jing Shisan secretly discovered that several people sneaked into the Fang family's salt shop in the middle of the night and destroyed the salt in one of the Fang family's warehouses. This is clearly destroying the evidence of the crime, so he secretly tracked these people. found out that these people were related to the Zhao family, so they were arrested and sent to Huojing County.

The next day. Li Ang took Huojing County's arrest fast, and rushed into Lin Mozhai without saying anything, beat Jing Shisan and Lin Youdong violently, and brought them back to the Huojing County prison to torture them........."

Depend on! Hearing this, Li Ang couldn't lie down, Lu Zhaoyi's guy was a confession on the surface, but in fact, he was avoiding the important and trivial, accusing him and the Zhao family in disguise, and it was not good to let him go on like this.

He couldn't help but struggle to sit up, and said to Li Siwei: "Li Yuanjun, Lu Zhaoyi is talking nonsense, he is basically confusing right and wrong, and reversing black and white. ”

Liao Zhongnan, who had already relieved his breath, was the first to sneer: "If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you don't do it!" Li Ang, in order to seize the Fang family's salt well, you colluded with the county commander Cui Yin in the fire well, and acted recklessly! Liu Erhu's father was poisoned and died, it is clear that someone is framing the Fang family behind his back, in order to seize the Fang family's salt well, but you pretend not to know, use the institution to trap Fang Tongxing, and also incite the people in the market, obstruct the investigation of the case by the official, and slander the official ......."

Li Ang unceremoniously interrupted him with a rhetorical question: "Liao Yushi said that I slandered you, may I ask, how did I slander you?" What evidence do you have to support your allegations? If not, then Liao Yushi is a false accusation! ”

"Now that Lu Zhaoyi has confessed, Liu Erhu was instigated by the Zhao family to frame the Fang family......"

Leon interrupted him again, "Even if this is true, what does it have to do with me? The case was sentenced by Huojing County Order, what does it have to do with me? ”

Liao Zhongnan was speechless, and couldn't help but shout angrily: "Dare to disrupt the people, dare to speak foul words in the court, come on, hit the top ten boards!" ”

"Wait!" Li Ang touched the bleeding gauze on his forehead, and asked Tang Jinyue, the judicial officer on the jury, "Tang joined the army, according to the law, what is the crime of speaking obscenities in the court?" ”

Tang Jinyue glanced at him lightly and said, "If you speak obscenities in the public court, you will be punished by ten to fifty according to the law." ”

Li Ang immediately said: "In this way, Liao Yushi is abusing his power. The dignified inspector of the imperial history actually abused his power and announced his personal vendetta, I don't know what crime he should be guilty of? ”

Liao Zhongnan laughed angrily and said coldly: "What a pair of sharp teeth! This official is an inspector of the imperial history, even if the sentence is improper, it is not wrong to correct it before the punishment is imposed. Since you admit that you have spoken foul language, then don't blame the official for severely punishing according to the law! Come on, fifty flogging! ”

"Liao Yushi, in order to avenge his personal revenge, really doesn't even want an old face. Such an inspection of the imperial history really gives the court a long face! However, you don't have the right to flog me. ”

"Li Ang, today you are a lotus flower with a tongue, and this official must also be ......... according to the law."

"By the law?" Li Ang interrupted him again, "According to the "Tang Law Discussion", those who are over seventy and fifteen, as well as the disabled patients, can be redeemed if they commit a miscarriage crime or less. I was born in the twentieth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and I am not yet fifteen years old this year, and I am injured or sick. ”

"You're not fifteen? Nonsense! "Leon looks like he is over seventeen years old, and has a maturity that is difficult to achieve at this age, and he even said that he is under fifteen! This is so angry that Liao Zhongnan's lungs are about to explode.

Li Ang smiled: "Although I seem to be more mature, it is because I have been lonely since I was a child. Exiled from that lost place, he spent his days making a living for himself. But I was indeed born in the twentieth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty. If Liao Yushi doesn't believe it, he can go to Xipu County to check my household registration. ”

This is thanks to Old Man Hua. At the beginning, Old Man Hua considered that he had no land, and according to the Tang Dynasty law, those who were over four years old were young, eleven or more were middle, and more than twenty were Ding. Once you become a "Ding", you have to serve hard labor, so Old Man Hua tries to report his age as little as possible, and the local officials get benefits, so who cares how old you are under-reported; Besides, I really have to find out. The ghost doesn't know how old Leon is this year.

Li Ang later copied the "Tang Law Discussion" only to find that in addition to being exempt from labor at a young age, he could also enjoy certain judicial privileges.

Although Nangong Ziyan can't help singing every night, in law, Li Langjun is indeed still a minor.

I'm a minor, who am I afraid of? Li Langjun raised his hand and took out a piece of broken silver, and then threw it out, ding! The broken silver rolled to Liao Zhongnan's feet, which was regarded as paying money to atone for his sins.

Although, how to look at this. It's like you're begging for food.

The people watching from the outside of the public hall couldn't help but burst into laughter, and some even collapsed on the ground with laughter.

After asking for food, Li Langjun lay back on the stretcher comfortably, but made another look, "I am a patient." I'm an underage patient, "Ouch Ouch".

Liao Zhongnan's little heart has been hit again and again, and he can't bear it anymore. Angry, "Poof! With a bang, blood spurted from the mouth of the hall. Falling to the sky, unconscious.

It's okay. Lang Zhong who was invited just now hasn't left yet, so it just came in handy.

Li Siwei didn't like to take care of Liao Zhongnan, the grasshopper after the autumn, so he asked Liao Zhongnan to continue to ask questions after he carried Liao Zhongnan down.

Next, Li Ang stopped talking and handed it all over to Li Xiazi.

Li Xiazi is worthy of being the first lawyer in Jiannan, Lu Zhaoyi said a word, and he refuted it, and in the end, Lu Zhaoyi found that not only could not prove Li Anggan's deeds, but felt that Li Xiazi's words were traps everywhere, making him really speechless.

The large amount of human and material evidence provided by the Qiongzhou side, as well as various account books and letters, are enough to prove that Lu Zhaoyi and Zeng Yingfan secretly colluded and did many illegal things.

In the next two heavenly trials, although Lu Zhaoyi and Zeng Yingfan vigorously denied it, they were unable to justify themselves in the face of many evidences, and they were speechless when asked by Li Xiazi.

The straw that finally overwhelmed Zeng Yingfan was his son Zeng Jie. This pampered little Langjun can't get ten boards in the hall, so he can't make any moves;

In fact, including his cousin, who was actually a female trick bought from Mianzhou, used this female trick to pretend to be his cousin to seduce Gongsun Jingyu, the purpose was to temporarily contain Gongsun Jing and so on.

With Zeng Jie's confession, it was useless for Zeng Yingfan and Lu Zhaoyi to quibble.

Hundreds of depositors outside the yamen were waiting to cash out, and Li Siwei was also in a hurry to close the case, so as not to cause even more chaos. However, Li Siwei was also very proficient, he did not make a final judgment, but handed over all the court trial records and witness testimony to the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, so that Zhang Qiu and Qiong could judge. If you don't make a judgment for a day, you will seal the Baihuitong counter and not honor it for a day.

Zhang Qiu and Qiong have money to store in Baihuitong, although they are nominally unpopular, but if it really makes trouble in the court, it is also very unfavorable to him, so he came to cut the mess with a quick knife, Zeng Yingfan and Lu Zhaoyi were both sentenced to death, and other accomplices such as Zeng Jie were also guilty. As many as 100 people have been implicated, which can be said to be the first case in Jiannan Province in ten years.

This sensational case was quickly closed.

After the case was decided, Li Siwei began to cash in to the households of Baihuitong. The total amount of seized property was only 40,000 yuan, Xian Yuxiang exchanged 30,000 yuan at once, and the remaining 10,000 yuan was not enough to cash out to all depositors, and Li Siwei could only selectively give priority to some people with backgrounds.

In the end, there is no money, and whoever can't cash it out, that's his bad luck. How these people will make trouble, for Li Ang, is no longer his concern.

After getting rid of a big trouble, he is now going to devote himself to his great business of making money. In terms of fire wells, a large amount of coarse salt has been purchased, because the price is slightly higher than the market, and a large amount of coarse salt is being shipped to fire wells in various places.

Now, Li Ang is going to rush back to the fire well, sign supply and marketing agency contracts with a large number of merchants, and then let the refined salt produced by Datang Wushuang Salt Industry Company seize the high-grade refined salt market in Jiannan Road in the shortest possible time with an overwhelming situation.
