In the city of Jinan on the twentieth day of the first lunar month, it is more popular than during the New Year.

Because this morning, after a few years, the Torture Hall opened a case.

Because of the new official from the Jinan Mansion.

People spread from person to person, word to word, in just half an hour, everyone knew that the new official Lord Song was a tough character.

She was so horizontal that Qiu Huazhang jumped to her feet, and her official authority was lost.

She was so horizontal that she made several official children kneel on the ground, their faces full of despair.

There were voices talking about her everywhere.

"As soon as she slapped the table, the sound was very crisp, and it hit my heart, bang!" A young scholar said with a smile, "Let me ask, which scholar's original dream was not to stand in the court, not be afraid of power, and uphold justice?" ”

"Lord Song...... the scholar was intoxicated with admiration, "I am willing to give up my fame and let Lord Song accept me and be his pawn, as long as I can stand with her in her court, it will make a shocking sound and shake the hearts of the people in the world." ”

The scholar stood on the road, immersed in anticipation, and some people around him sneered and said, "It's impossible, he has a master and a clerk by his side." ”

"I'm sorry." The scholar looked up to the sky and sighed, "I'm sorry." ”

Everyone didn't laugh, and a big man said: "I really didn't expect that when the door of the torture hall opened again, I was about to cry fucking." ”

"Me too, my heart is upset, and I don't know what to expect from excitement, anyway, my nose is sour."

An aunt said: "Men just don't cry, look at my eyes, they are all swollen." ”

The girl's eyes were really red and swollen.

"Lord Song is a good official, whoever talks about her dog official in the future, I am anxious with her!"

"This case is really upright, and I don't know if the case file is submitted and can be approved!" Some people were worried, "Will Lord Song be put in small shoes by the people above?" ”

As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent again.

After all, Lord Song is just the beginning here, and there are still layers of audits going up.

The cases of the common people, if you pat your head casually, the high-ranking officials and nobles have a backstage, and they are naturally tried layer by layer.

"No, a smart person like Lord Song does things, and he won't make a move if he doesn't think about the follow-up."

"Therefore, since he has made a move, he must be completely sure."

Everyone nodded their heads and agreed with this person's words.

In the Torture Hall, Qiu Huazhang stared at Song Ning and asked, "Lord Song is so happy and arrogant, in front of the people, he looks like he is serving the country and the people." ”

"What's the point of being so coy, in Jinan Mansion, if you go on like this, there is only one way to die." Qiu Huazhang said.

Beside him, standing Cheng Zhi, standing Zhou Jiang, and the eyes of the three of them were condensed, and they were like fire and water.

"Don't worry, I'll have a long life! It's you who are so pretentious, Song pinched his fingers, and you will have your life for these two years! ”

"Sharp teeth." Qiu Huazhang said: "Do you think that your case will be approved by Lord Zheng?" ”

"This is the law, and there is no such thing as a failure to approve it." Song Ning raised his eyebrows and said, "Lord Qiu, this is insinuating that the Yamen and Dali Temple are all corpse vegetarian meals?" ”

"Ahh She said to Song Yuanshi, "Remember to write Lord Qiu's rhetorical question into the verdict." ”

Song and Yuan should be: "Okay." ”

Qiu Huazhang's face changed.

"You, you don't know what to do." Qiu Huazhang's chest hurt, and he felt that if he stayed any longer, he would be angry with this person, so he told his son, "Stay for a few days, don't be afraid." ”

Song Ning added to him: "Reflect well, don't be like your father, there is no bottom line in being an official!" ”

Qiu Mingwen hung his head and did not speak.

Qiu Huazhang's head couldn't go back.

Cheng Zhi and Zhou Jiang glanced at each other and followed.

At this point, they have a lot to do in the future, and there is no need to stay here now.

Song Ning walked in front of Zhang Songqing, took the white cloth and covered him, turned around and said to the young men who were crying and mourning: "Go and lock it up, try to move as much as possible, and see who has the ability to get a life back from the guillotine." ”

"Hu Zhi'an," Song Ning pointed at Hu Zhi'an, "Hehe-hee, you have to work hard." ”

Hu Zhi'an's face sank into the ground, trembling and kneeling on the ground, completely losing his expression of being unafraid of the sky and the earth, and roared: "You are a madman." ”

"Take these scumbags down!" After the case was tried, Song Ning didn't bother to look at these people anymore.

Hu Zhian was finally frightened and shouted at his brother: "Brother, brother, you have to save me." ”

"Brother, I'm afraid."

Hu Zhitong bowed his head.

Someone at the door scolded: "Shameless brute, people like you are not qualified to be afraid, you go to death, cut off your head early!" ”

Hu Zhian and others were taken down.

They have to be closed to the top for approval, and there is a result. So the more anxious the family is, the more activities they have, the sooner the outcome of this case will come out.

Song Ning was not worried.

Tian Weiyuan stood up with the help of the morgue, walked to Zhang Fu and his wife, took a deep look, and said hoarsely: "I Tian someone boasts of reading sages and sages, and has a high moral character, but now he is so ugly...... I don't mention it, I'm to blame. Lord Song is right, I just don't dare to uphold justice, but I can't help the evil, I am ashamed to be a man and a teacher. ”

"I'm sorry!"

He helped to conceal it, firstly, he wanted to seek a refuge for his son, and secondly, Hu Fu had to give him a filial piety every year.

With short hands, how dare he not do things.

Tian Weiyuan aged a lot in an instant, followed behind the people, and went to the cell.

There were quite a few people in the cell.

Fifteen students were locked together with Tian Weiyuan, in a dark and damp cell, how could the youngsters in fresh clothes and angry horses stand it, as soon as they entered, they covered their noses, refused to sit, and stood on tiptoe on the ground.

Tian Weiyuan found a corner and sat down, closing his eyes and ignoring others.

Ivy squatted in the corner of the wall, burying his face between his legs and knees.

The nervousness and confusion in the public court just now faded at this moment, and after standing here and calming down, I had to think about the possibilities in the future.

"You can't test your fame for ten years." There is humanity.

"I should be happy, it's only been ten years." There is humanity.

"What's the difference, even if we are admitted in the future, everything today is still our stain. Lord Song said that we will all be tortured day and night in this life. Others will also remember what we did. ”

These things are not written in the biographies of their lives, and their past will not disappear in the words of the people.

"I'm done." A young man squatted down with his head in his hands, screaming in pain, "I might as well die!" ”

Suddenly, everyone looked at Hu Zhi'an, Sun Leyang and Huang Xiandong together.

Hu Zhi'an looked back at them expressionlessly: "What to see, do you want to die?" ”

"Think here, you don't have to be afraid?" Hu Zhian pointed at them, "Even now, your life and death are still in my hands." ”

A teenager stood up and scolded: "Pinch your mother's head, I will fight with you." ”

As he spoke, he threw his hat and rushed forward, grabbing both ears of Hu Zhi'an with both hands, and the two of them ended at the same time, and he sat on Hu Zhi'an's chest, crackling and punching.

Everyone watched quietly.

"What are you doing standing there, hit him for me." Hu Zhian shouted.

No one paid any attention to him.

Looking at Hu Zhi'an, who was riding under him and was beaten without any power to fight back, they suddenly found that the thin Hu Zhi'an was a chicken cub at all, and he couldn't beat them.

What were they afraid of before?

Chang Chun looked at Hu Zhi'an and sneered.

He is the tallest and strongest in their class, and together with Huang Xiandong, he really fights, and none of them can beat them.

But they didn't dare.

I didn't dare to fight back against Hu Zhi'an, let alone resist, why?

If they join forces, Hu Zhian won't be able to bully Zhang Qingsong, right?

They're not going to stay in this gloomy cell, are they?

"I'm coming!" Chang Chun stood up, pushed away his classmate riding on Hu Zhi'an, he untied his belt, put it around Hu Zhi'an's neck, and shouted, "Let's go to the Netherworld together." ”

"The Bodhisattva said that the wicked will go to the eighteen levels of hell, so let's go together."

"Atonement for Qingsong."

Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in horror.

Ho Chi An was strangled by the belt of Changchun, and his face was red and his eyes protruded.

The prisoners who were locked next to the left and right looked excited, clapped their hands and shouted, "Kill him, kill him!" ”

Ivy doesn't want to live anymore.

He was going to take Hu Zhi'an with him.

Tian Weiyuan stood up and shouted, "Stop! ”

"You are still young and still have a chance to live, he must be dead, why should you take your own life." Tian Weiyuan pushed Chang Chun away and choked up, "Child, be a good man, don't repeat the mistakes of the past." ”

Chang Chun fell to the ground, lying upright and looking at the dark roof, lifeless.

Hu Zhi'an coughed violently, got up in fear and cowered in the corner.

looked at these classmates who had listened to him in the past with horror and vigilance.

"You, don't come here!" He pointed at them, very frightened.

Everyone looked at him indifferently, with murderous intent in their eyes.

Ho Chi Ann knew very well that if it weren't for the fear of punishment, these people would definitely rush up and kill him.

He was afraid.

The hall was quiet, those parents still refused to leave, some cried and some were desperate, Chang Chun's father knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhang Fu's family.

His son didn't teach him well.

"He said he didn't want to study and I should agree with him. If you don't read it, you won't read it, but let him make such a big mistake at a young age. ”

Sun Leyang's grandfather was in tears, and he was helped out by a house slave, and told his family to go to the capital as he walked.

They didn't dare to say more to Song Ning, if it was the same as before, they would definitely have to wait, and after the government was dispersed, they took advantage of the fact that the file was not submitted to Shangfeng, and hurriedly carried out activities, deleted some evidence, and changed the testimony......

In this way, after the approval from above, the crime will generally be dismissed or mitigated.

This is the routine, the bottom-to-top routine.

But today they don't dare.

Hu Zhitong has always been the calmest one, even when Qiu Huazhang was protecting his younger brother just now, he was very calm.

He knew too well about the affairs of the yamen, and it was because he knew that he was not afraid.

He walked out of the torture hall with his sleeves brushed up.

Wow!

A basin of foot-washing water rushed from the opposite side.

"Bullshit, drink your aunt's footwash!"

"Phew."

Opposite, a woman poured a basin of foot-washing water and pointed at Hu Zhitong and scolded.

When Hu Zhitong's servant arrived, after he wiped his face dry, the person who splashed water on the opposite side was gone, and the human wall blocked the expression that everyone was irrelevant.

"Who?" He roared.

The people on the other side smiled and said, "Hehe, Master Hu, do you think we will tell you?" ”

"Hehe, Master Hu can't guess."

"Diaomin!" Hu Zhitong was furious, "Just like you, you can only be a common man forever!" ”

Behind him, there was a burst of laughter, and an old man with five big and three rough people said: "Common people are better than beasts." ”

Still hee-hee, thinking of Hu Zhi'an's appearance in the public court just now, I really want to shave his face with a big iron sheet.

Everyone scolded comfortably, and then dispersed.

The door to the torture hall was closed.

Inside the door, Song Ning said to Zhang Fu and his wife: "It's too late today, you can discuss with the clan in the afternoon, and come early tomorrow morning to bring the body back." ”

"Thank you, sir!" Zhang Wang pulled Zhang Fu to kneel at Song Ning, Song Ning supported the two of them, and said, "I can do too little, you two will have a good life in the future, Zhang Qingsong knows that you are well fed and clothed, and you will be at peace in the spirit of heaven." ”

"My son...... It's pitiful, but it's also a shame that he met an adult, otherwise he would have died in vain. Zhang Wang cried.

"All I can do is to reduce your losses, and I am ashamed to say ......," Song Ning said, "You go back first, don't think about it, the wicked are still alive, so you should live more seriously." ”

Zhang Fu hung his head.

Zhang Wang took her husband's hand, saluted Song Ning, Song Yuanshi, Shen Wenyu, Wu Xian, and Qiao Si, turned around again, and bowed to Ma Liu Laotong and Wang Qingtong: "Thank you for causing trouble to everyone." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay." The old boy waved his hand incoherently, "We are all doing things for adults." ”

Ma Liu pushed him: "Don't talk nonsense. He corrected Lao Tong's words again, tidied up his clothes, and learned to play an official tone with a glance, "This is what the Torture Hall should do, no need to thank you." ”

Zhang Fu and his wife should be, and the neighbor who came in helped them out, and the neighbor cried while walking, discussing the matter of coming to pick up the child home tomorrow.

"I didn't listen to Zhang Qing, I took the money yesterday, and the child died in vain."

Zhang Fudao: "Yes, the adults said that we can't ask for money, otherwise we will be a crime." We must listen to Lord Song, and we can't ask for money. ”

"The child is gone, we are bored to live, what's the use of asking for money?"

When the two went home, Zhang Qing's family didn't dare to come out with the door closed, so they helped Zhang Wang's woman to take a sip and said, "I know the money, and I don't say anything useful. ”

Zhang Qing and his wife stood in the courtyard and did not dare to respond.

……

Xue Yin was silent until this moment, when he woke up like a dream, he crossed his hand at Song Ning in despair, and said tiredly: "Lord Song, if you don't have an order, the student ...... Quit. ”

Song Ning bowed his head.

Xue Yin hung his head and went out, his wide sleeves swayed slightly, he took a few steps, stopped again, hugged his fist at Song Ning, and then went to the street step by step.

After returning to Luoli Temple, he began to write a suicide note that was worthy of the trust of his students and the world, and called the family to come to talk, and at night, let the family go back.

He went up to the pipa pavilion behind the pipa line alone and hung up white silk.

Thanks to the old man, he came to burn paper at night, saw someone in the pavilion, and rescued him.

The master and servant wept profusely.

Song Ning only found out about this matter a few days later. At this moment, the torture hall is over, and only their own people are left.

Ma Santong also came with Lu Miaomiao and Xiaotian.

I went to the public house where she worked.

Closing the door, the stove shop leaned on the hot more than a dozen sweet potatoes brought by Lu Miaomiao, the aroma bursts, Lao Tong got up and said: "I'll go next door and bring the tea, it's not good tea, don't dislike it." ”

Song Ning's things haven't been put on the table yet.

Lao Tong went next door, Yang Chang sat at the square table, the pai gow yards were neatly formed into a wall, he saw Lao Tong come in, and asked: "The thing is done, come and push the pai gow?" ”

"I'll get tea, you go over together, we have a meeting." Old boy said.

"Yes...... Forget it, you guys go. Yang Chang said.

"Let's go, take this for you, there are not enough tea bowls on the adult's side." Lao Tong stuffed the tea leaves and tea bowls into Yang Changgen's arms, "The adults are very good, they talk funny, let's do things for the adults together, even if they are really pushed down, but if they can follow the adults to straighten their waists and work for a few months, it is worth it." ”

"I think it must be happier than we have ever lived."

Yang Chang looked at Lao Tong's glowing eyes, stood up, and said, "Okay, do it!" ”

"Adults are not afraid, what we are afraid of, it will be a rotten life."

Holding the tea bowl, he followed the old boy to push open the door, and a burst of heat and aroma came to his face, laughing and laughing.
