When he looked at a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth, who was as elegant as a fairy, and came slowly with a calm and calm atmosphere, Wen Yuanting thought that he had seen it wrong.

Such a delicate woman like a flower, fifty years down, is there still a life?

Everyone knows that when the drum is sounded, the case will be retried, but everyone also knows that when the drum is sounded, this life is equivalent to an explanation.

A man in the prime of life can't bear it, a little girl, can he stand it?

Wen Yuanting leaned forward and looked at the girl standing under the hall, she was like the most brilliant red plum in early spring, proud and proud, walking slowly, as if there were flowers blooming at her feet.

Wen Yuanting felt that the words full of official authority on his lips also circled and twisted, and finally turned into a sentence: "Who is in the hall, and what grievances do you have?" ”

The sound of grievances and drums is a major event, the lobby must be wide open, the trial must be open, everyone can watch from the sidelines, and they cannot follow their own interests, and even when the board is beaten, it is also played in the court.

It's nothing for a man, but it's cruel enough for a young girl to think about that scene.

He glanced at the entrance to the lobby, where several people had gathered.

These people pointed and whispered to the hall, and more of them were sympathetic to the girl.

After all, a girl who looks so green and captivating, if she dies under a meal, it will still make people feel compassion.

The girl stood in front of the hall, slim and elegant, and her voice was crisp and clear: "Xia Wenjin, a folk girl, was framed and killed the rich son Zhan Baoqing because her father and uncle were wronged, and she will be beheaded tomorrow, and she will beat the drum of grievances and ask for a retrial of the case!" ”

"Beat the drum of injustice, do you know the rules?" Wen Yuanting suddenly, no wonder this girl wanted to beat the drum of injustice, it turned out that this case, the emperor had already approved the case, and the case that was about to be asked and beheaded, indeed only this road is the fastest way to appeal.

However, the case that the emperor personally approved is basically a sure thing, and even if the drum of injustice is sounded, it is only a retrial of the case.

The result of the retrial is likely to be the same as before. If it's the same as before, it's a false accusation. Those who complain will be beaten to death with sticks.

This case was handed over to Sun Liangcai, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, this Sun Liangcai has been a shining figure in Dali Temple in recent years, and the case he took over, even Tang Jinlin, the Zhengqing, did not interfere.

Therefore, of course, Jing Zhaoyin couldn't interfere, and he also made an appointment with Tang Jinlin for tea, and talked about his views on this matter by the way, but he didn't expect that now the drum of grievances would be knocked in front of his yamen.

Before, you couldn't meddle, but now it's different.

However, Wen Yuanting didn't think this was a good thing, it was obviously a big trouble.

Is this to let the emperor overturn his Zhu Bi imperial approval?

But now, he can't afford not to accept it.

"Yes!" Xia Wenjin said calmly: "I am willing to receive the punishment of the rod, just ask for revenge!" ”

Wen Yuanting was silent, and I have to say that he also admired the courage of this girl. After this cane punishment, even if her father's grievances could be settled, she would be ruined.

Even if she doesn't die after being punished with a cane, a woman is tortured in court, her clothes are torn, her skin is open, her good body is ruined, not to mention her reputation. However, he was a Lingyin, and he should be objective and fair, he said: "In this case, come here, prepare for cane punishment!" ”

Hearing him speak, there was a slight commotion among the onlookers.

hit the board, press to the ground, and wave the rod directly, one stick down, the skin and flesh bloom, and the two sticks down, the flesh and blood are blurred......

Many of those who gathered outside the lobby to watch the excitement were also there to watch this eye-stimulating scene, after all, where did other people's grievances come from so much empathy? Even if someone is kinder in their hearts, they must know the cause and effect before they can have empathy.

At the moment, look at the lively psychology, more.

Seeing that the court staff was ready and the execution officials were in place, Wen Yuanting said, "Are you ready?" ”

The girl took two steps forward and walked to the cane, her voice unwavering: "After the cane punishment, the case will be retried, so hurry up!" ”

Wen Yuanting saw that there was no fear on the girl's face, sighed in his heart, and shook his head secretly, in fact, from the moment the drum sounded, the board had to be beaten, and there was no room for repentance.

However, before Wen Yuanting asked people to bring a big bench and let people lie on it for execution, this was the only thing he could do.

He said in a deep voice: "Execution! ”

Just as Xia Wenjin was about to prostrate on the stool, ready to be tortured, a voice came through the crowd: "Wait! ”

Wen Yuanting frowned, Jingzhao Yin Yamen, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the first yamen outside the imperial city, when trying a case, not everyone can stop it casually. If you despise the court, you can be killed with a cane!

With this sound, the people watching the excitement at the entrance of the lobby parted to both sides, and a teenager strode over.

The corners of Wen Yuanting's mouth twitched and twitched.

Xia Wenjin was also surprised: "Huang Zheng, why are you here?" ”

The person who came turned out to be Huangfu Jingchen, his face was still very pale, and he walked up, even a little staggering, he came to the front of the hall and saluted Wen Yuanting: "In Xia Huang Zheng, she is a friend of Miss Xia, I will be punished for her!" ”

Wen Yuanting: "......"

Two days earlier, I heard that this assassinated prince who caused a sensation in the capital at that time did not die, but he didn't expect to come to his yamen.

Also Huang Zheng, yellow ghost!

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he said, "Emperor...... Zheng, being punished on behalf of others, has never had a precedent! ”

Xia Wenjin also said: "Huang Zheng, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't make trouble!" ”

Huangfu Jingchen pulled Xia Wenjin over to protect him, and arched his hand: "Lord Wen, there is indeed no precedent for this matter. However, there is no explicit provision that substitution is not allowed. It is willing to be punished in lieu of punishment, and we are asking for the same thing. If you feel that you can't replace it, then you can go and beat the drum now. ”

Wen Yuanting: "......"

Now go and beat the drum, is it fun for you to sound the drum?

It's a big deal of beating the drum and complaining, you want to make it a child's play!

If you think about it carefully, it is true that there is no explicit provision and substitution is not allowed. If you are willing to suffer for others, it is not impossible.

But the key is the ...... in front of you

That's fifty boards, can you stand five boards like this?

Two people can't stand fifty combined, right?

Xia Wenjin said in a low voice: "Huang Zheng, you don't know anything, don't meddle in this matter, I can solve it!" ”

"I know you can fix it!" Huangfu Jingchen smiled lightly at her and said, "I don't interfere, I just finish the fifty boards on your behalf and go home to recuperate!" The rest, you'll take care of it! ”

Xia Wenjin: "......"

Isn't that meddling? The important thing is that this matter really has nothing to do with him.

His injuries are healed, and now he has to pretend to be weak, indicating that the person who wants to kill him may still be hiding in the shadows, and his danger has not been lifted, but he has come out for himself?
