Lord Fang's expression was flat, and he smiled calmly: "Lord Duan, let's go to the court to try the case quickly." I have always been strict with myself, impartial law enforcement, and I have been an official for many years, and I think I have a clear conscience. I'd like to see if I'm really as stupid as she says. After a pause, he raised his voice and said, "Justice is in the hearts of the people. ”

When he said this, he looked confident on his face, but in fact, his heart was extremely empty. He felt that in the case of Lu Hao's murder of Xia He, he was likely to make a mistake. For this reason, he was haunted by it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let the girl from the water vein come to Dali Temple to sue him with the paper.

Lord Fang said this against his will, just to match the water vein. The two seem to be opposites, but they are actually the same heart. Of course, no one else knows.

In the eyes of the people watching from the periphery of the yamen, the water vein wanted to sue Lord Fang, and Lord Fang defended himself and admitted his innocence. The people don't know what's going on, just like grass on the wall, which will fall to wherever the wind blows. Just now, the people were still biased towards the water vein, hoping that she would give up suing Lord Fang. At this moment, after listening to Lord Fang's self-proclaimed words, he stood on Lord Fang's side again.

The people talked a lot, pointing at the water vein girl. Soon, the crowd turned from talking to shouting. For a while, the solemn yamen looked like a downtown when the market was rushed.

"My lord, let's ascend to the hall quickly!"

"We're going to see what's going on."

……

It seems that this case has aroused everyone's desire to explore, and everyone wants to find out.

The people watching from the outside of the gate were uneasy, and the situation was out of control. Master Fang was taken aback and a little blindsided. He said those words, but he was just to cooperate with the girl of the water vein, but he didn't want to arouse the anger of the people. He didn't mean to do that, but those words made people disgusted with the girl and sympathize with him.

Duan Zisheng calmly looked at the people moving outside the yamen, with a playful expression on his face, but he was silent. The more attention this matter gets, the more beneficial it will be for Shuimai to overturn the case. He was satisfied, and things were going his way.

Since the girl insisted on doing this, Duan Zisheng couldn't persuade him again. It's just that his face was silent, silently admiring her courage in his heart, appreciating her sacrifice to save others, and her courage was commendable.

After a while, Duan Zisheng coughed dryly and cleared his throat: "Water Vein girl, are you going to inform Lord Fang Hongyi in front of you?" Lord Fang is a clean official. ”

He didn't feel like he was asking nonsense. The fire was already burning, and he was going to add a handful of wood to the fire to make it burn even brighter.

Not verbose. The corners of Xiangye's mouth twitched, revealing his cold and shining teeth and sneering.

Shui Mai had a resolute expression on his face, and said categorically: "My lord, the women and the women have brought all the papers, how can there be any reason to regret it?" Just now, the paper has been submitted. The beginning and end of the case are clearly written in black and white on the pleadings. Whether Lord Fang has made a mistake or not, as long as he has interrogated, he will know. ”

After Duan Zisheng heard it, before he could respond, he was preemptively spoken by Xiangye.

Seeing that Shui Mai's attitude was so resolute, Xiang Ye's face darkened, and his heart was full of anger. A grim smile flashed from the corner of his mouth. He simply said: "Lord Duan, since Dali Temple is a law enforcement agency, civilians should avenge civilians if they have grievances. Such a rejection of people thousands of miles away, out of reason, and without the law. It's better to try the case quickly, don't waste everyone's time. ”

Dali Temple Shaoqing Yunbai muttered in his heart, Xiangye himself said it well, and he only listened to the trial on the sidelines and did not interfere. This hasn't started yet, and Xiang Ye has more words than Lord Duan. Isn't that funny?

Duan Zisheng, the secretary of Dali Temple, looked at the prince with a solemn face, and asked: "According to the opinion of the prime minister, what kind of punishment should be used?" ”

As soon as the words came out, he immediately realized that something was wrong. This is Dali Temple, and he is the law enforcer. But to ask Xiangye in public, it's really a bit funny. This inquiry seemed to be unfavorable to him. makes people feel that he is being led by the nose by Xiangye.

Actually, he didn't have to make up his mind. He has decided to use a nail roller. There are so many tortures, he feels that this punishment is the most conservative, as long as he can endure the physical pain, the possibility of life is the greatest.

However, he also had a hard time doing so. The backer behind Xiangye is the queen, and he can't anger Xiangye. He himself is not afraid of the powerful, but if he annoys Empress Xiangye, with the queen's style of doing things, it is very likely that he will be suspended.

He lost his official affairs and was afraid that Chu Tiankuo would really fall to the ground by then.

Hearing this, a sneer appeared on the corner of Xiang Ye's mouth, and his wrinkled face was full of murder. His sinister eyes, as terrifying as bloodthirsty, quickly swept over the various torture instruments in the courtroom, and finally, his gaze fell on a nail board in the corner.

His cold fingers pointed at the nail board, and the chill hit, leaving no trace of emotion: "The boiling oil pot still has to wait for the oil to boil, and the same is true for the soldering iron plate, which needs to wait for the iron plate to be hot and red." You have to prepare for it in advance. In order to save time, in my opinion, it is better to roll the nail board, which is the safest. ”

His words sounded convincing, plausible, and seemed to be a time-saving consideration. Only Xiangye himself knew in his heart that the punishment of choosing to let the water vein girl nail the board was just to torture her. He had seen others roll the nail board, and the screams were terrible and eerie. You can imagine how painful it must be.

However, rolling the nail board is only limited to physical pain, and so far, he has not heard of a single nail board rolling and dying with a whimper.

There is a way in heaven that she does not take, and there is no door in hell for her to break into. He wanted to give her a taste of life that was worse than death.

Everyone's eyes looked at the torture instrument called the nail board in the corner. Almost everyone present gasped.

It was a large plank of wood, and there were many iron nails staring at it, all of which were pointing upwards. It is not difficult to imagine how unbearable the pain is when a person lies on his back under a nail board, and the nail pierces the skin and pierces the flesh.

The nail board was not lying down, and everyone felt pain when they looked at it. Except, of course, Xiangye. He looked at the nail board with a snicker, and there was no wave in his heart.

Duan Zisheng nodded, shouted to the two rows of officials standing in the hall, "Come on, bring up the nail board in the corner." ”

The officials waited, but no one stepped forward, and they all stood motionless, as if they hadn't heard Lord Duan's words. In fact, they are not deaf, and of course they can hear Lord Duan's orders. It's just that I resist from the heart, and it's too cruel to let a girl like a flower and jade be tortured like this.

Dali Temple Shaoqing Yunbai sat next to Duan Zisheng, and naturally heard it more clearly than others. After hearing this, his face turned embarrassed, and he couldn't help but lean closer to Lord Duan and asked in a low voice, "My lord, do you really want to let the girl sleep on the nail bed?" ”

Duan Zisheng replied to him seriously, and his voice was very low: "Of course." ”
