Bai Siyuan's face was full of astringency, and he knew everything: "That person is the same size as me, and he should be a man." Look at his hands, they should be up and down. ”

When Xie Jinlan heard this, he raised his eyebrows and pondered: This description is very similar to the masked man in the previous two cases. Only, is this really possible?

Wuzhou and Qiaozhou are thousands of miles away, is that person a Jianghu person who has no fixed place? The goals he chose to attack were completely different, and there was something in common between the three that he hadn't thought of?

Seeing that Xie Jinlan was immersed in his thoughts, Lu Renjia opened his mouth and asked: "Someone testified that three years ago, there was a person wearing a hat wandering at the back door of the White Mansion, but that person is you?" ”

Bai Siyuan nodded in response: "It's me." That was when I first got back to town, shortly after my first meeting with An Ge. ”

Lu Renjia let out a light 'um', and then said, "That 'Red Wu', where did you get it?" But are you going to use it on Aunt Meng? ”

Bai Siyuan nodded, shook his head again, and said:

"It was originally intended to be used on Aunt Meng's body. But I observed her for a few days and found that all her food was eaten with her husband. I don't want to implicate the innocent, so I'm going to do it in other ways. As for where the medicine came from......

During those three years, I found a secluded place to change my face, and stumbled upon it in a small cave that was relatively hidden. 'Red Nothing' I've only seen in medical books before, so I naturally wanted to pick it and study it carefully. ”

After a pause, he smiled bitterly: "I never thought that one day, I would want to use it to harm others!" ”

Lu Renjia glanced at Master Zhao's book in his left hand, and when he saw that he was about to stop his movements and look at him, he knew that he had recorded everything Bai Siyuan said, so he asked Jiang Huaming to directly take people into custody.

Next, it is how to judge Bai Siyuan.

According to the law of the Daye Dynasty, a person like Bai Siyuan who is suspected of intentional homicide, and who uses such cruel means and intends to commit the crime again, should be regarded as a serial murderer. He should have been publicly executed.

Ling Chi is a chopping sentence, which is one of the capital punishments.

The prisoner was tied to a wooden stake and the flesh of his body was cut down piece by piece with a knife, usually one hundred and twenty cuts. If the circumstances are serious, it will be increased to 360 dollars.

This criminal law is carried out by extremely experienced executioners, and it is not allowed to hit the prisoner until the last stroke. Otherwise, it would be a dereliction of duty on the part of the executioner.

This is where the so-called term 'a thousand cuts' comes from.

But this criminal law is used on the heinous people who indiscriminately kill innocents. Although Bai Siyuan's behavior was too much, he was right after all. Is such a criminal law really appropriate?

Thinking like this, Lu Renjia also spoke out of his worries.

Master Zhao arched his hand at the moment:

"My lord, as the saying goes, 'The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people'. Even if Bai Siyuan is not a person full of evil, it is an irrefutable fact that he did such evil things. And no one put a sword on his neck, and forced him to do something. The lower officials thought that Ling Chi should be executed. ”

What is the temperament of Master Zhao, Lu Renjia knows very well. He is very old-fashioned and pedantic, and he puts the law first in everything.

He said that 'the law is nothing more than human affection,' but he never scoffed at it. will even fight with Lu Renjia for a blushing face and a thick neck because of the verdict of some cases.

For such a person, Lu Renjia is very helpless.

If you want to say that what he did was wrong, but he did act in accordance with the rules and regulations, and he was not mixed with half selfishness. But if you say that he did the right thing, it is a bit overkill.

Lu Renjia, who already had experience, instantly gave Tang Anyu a look.

Tang Anyu understood, shook the folding fan and said jokingly:

"Master Zhao, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, do you really think so? Throughout the ages, how many princes and nobles have committed crimes that are not taken lightly? If the prince kills a common man, is it possible that the prince really wants to pay for his life? ”

Master Zhao's face suddenly turned red, and he pointed at Tang Anyu and said, "You...... You're a strong word! ”

Tang Anyu didn't care, and asked rhetorically: "How can it be a strong word?" The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, isn't this what Master Zhao said? ”

Master Zhao's heart was blocked.

Although he is old-fashioned and pedantic, it does not mean that he has a bad brain. The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and this will only be effective if it is said in the mouth of the Son today.

He was not used to looking down on Tang Anyu on weekdays, so he glanced at it contemptuously, with an expression of 'I don't know you like this'. Then he looked at Lu Renjia with burning eyes:

"My lord thinks that what the lower official said is reasonable? Since Bai Siyuan has pleaded guilty, please judge as soon as possible! ”

Lu Renjia didn't expect that this fire would still burn to his body in the end, and he couldn't help but look at Xie Jinlan beside him: "What does Master Xie think?" ”

Seeing that Lu Renjia was slow to make a decision, how could Xie Jinlan not see his purpose?

Glancing at the Zhao master who was sitting in the lower left, he thought to himself: He will leave Shuanggui County in the near future, and he will not be able to see this master book, so why don't you give Lu County a favor.

Thinking like this, Xie Jinlan pretended to groan, and then said: "This official thinks that Master Zhao's words are reasonable......

Just as Master Zhao's face was overjoyed, and Lu Renjia tried his best to give him a look, he said slowly:

It's just that Bai Siyuan has now tasted the evil fruits he has planted, which is already a great punishment. Why don't you give him a decent look and let him decide on his own. ”

As soon as this remark came out, Master Zhao immediately objected: "How can this be done!" ”

Then he solemnly bowed his hand to Lu Renjia: "My lord, if you act like this, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public." ”

Lu Renjia said meaningfully: "According to the meaning of Master Zhao, as long as you can convince the public, this method is feasible?" ”

Master Zhao instantly understood that he was being tricked, but the words he said were like water spilled out. No matter what, he could only stubbornly respond: "Yes, that's what the lower officials meant." ”

Lu Renjia said loudly: "Okay! ”

Then Zhengse said: "Master Zhao, you can draw up a notice, write down the process of Bai Siyuan's crime, as well as the causes and consequences, and then post it at the notice outside the gate of the county government, so that the people can judge how to deal with Bai Siyuan." ”

Master Zhao hesitated: "This ......"

Lu Renjia suddenly put on an official posture: "Master Zhao, this matter must be as soon as possible!" Don't let this officer down. ”

Master Zhao couldn't, so he could only retreat.

When Master Zhao walked away, Tang Anyu couldn't help but complain:

Although there is some disagreement between the lowly and Jiang Zhutou on weekdays, they also admire his personality. But this Zhao master, please forgive me for saying something that is not acceptable, it is really disgusting.

Every time he saw his humble position, he always had his nostrils facing the sky, looking down on people. What's the matter, does he look down on the industry, or does he look down on the lowly people? ”
