Dali Siqing's joker was shocked and asked, "You say, who is the helper?" ”

Niu Kelian glanced at Xiang Ye, and Xiang Ye nodded to him. Niu Kelian turned to look at Chi Le: "It's the King of Loyalty." ”

Hearing this, Chi Le was not flustered, and seemed to smile contemptuously.

Smoke's mouth was wide open. She knew that what Niu Kelian said was the truth. Not only Chi Le is an accomplice, but also Shui Vein, Lu Caier is involved. Fortunately, Niu Kelian only mentioned Chi Le. I don't know if I deliberately let go of the woman, specifically to embarrass the man, or what. In short, it is a blessing in disguise.

She felt that Brother Chi Le was a loyal and brave king, with a noble status and a prominent status, so she should be fine, right?

Duan Zisheng listened to Niu Kelian's words, slapped his eyes in shock, and shouted: "Niu Kelian, above the court, there is no room for falsehood." Do you know that false accusations are guilty? ”

Niu Kelian's face did not change, he looked very calm, and said loudly: "My lord, the plaintiff is waiting outside Dali Temple. ”

At this time, the onlookers turned their heads to look around. Sure enough, outside the yamen of Dali Temple, there were several people wearing the official uniforms of the prefect's yamen, standing and waiting.

The cigarette incense looked out with his neck up, and there were all human heads.

Duan Zisheng was shocked and said loudly: "Pass the plaintiff." ”

"Wei ...... Wu ......" the officials made a dull and solemn voice.

A moment later, the prefect's yamen outside the yamen of Dali Temple were caught quickly and brought to the hall by the yamen.

Duan Zisheng looked at the catchers standing in the court, and said solemnly: "What do you have inside, tell the truth." ”

One of them caught quickly and stood up: "My lord, we must tell the loyal and brave king." On that day, he participated in the robbery of Lu Hao's prisoner car. ”

Duan Zisheng nodded, and his keen eyes swept the quick glances: "Have you all seen it with your own eyes?" ”

In the court, many catchers said in unison: "They are all seen with their own eyes, and there is absolutely no falsehood." ”

"Bold!" Duan Zisheng was shocked and slapped hard, startling everyone.

His delicate face grew more and more cold and stiff, like a piece of cast iron or cement, which could not melt it.

"Do you know that if you sue an official of the court or a relative of the emperor, no matter what the final result is, the person who sues is guilty first?" After a pause, Duan Zisheng's tone was cold, and he said in a deep voice: "If you really want to sue the Zhongyong King, you must first be beaten by the board." ”

What? Hit the board!

Those catchers are all confused, and they look very funny. Why didn't Xiangye mention this? No one told them about the stakes. How do they know that suing the prince and being beaten by the board is still there?

Previously, Xiangye found them and negotiated the conditions with them in private. As long as they came forward, they sued the King of Loyalty, and promised them a box of gold, silver, and jewelry. According to visual inspection, that box of jewelry was worth thousands of taels. than they have worked hard for ten years, and they have received more money. That's just enough temptation.

Of course, not only temptation, but also persecution. Xiangye spoke, if you don't do this, you will bear the consequences. Xiangye also hinted that his backstage is the queen. offended the queen, losing the job is a small matter, and raiding the family and exterminating the family is a big matter.

What's more, it is an indisputable fact that the loyal and brave king Chile participated in the robbery of prisoners.

Although they took into account the power of the Loyal and Brave King and the affection of Lord Fang and Dongfanghong, they were even more afraid of Xiangye. She is the queen behind Xiangye.

In this way, under the coercion and temptation of Xiang Ye, they agreed to cooperate with Xiang Ye.

At this time, listening to Dali Siqing Duan Zisheng say that he was going to be beaten by the board, they had a stiff expression on their faces, and they retreated in their hearts, looking very entangled.

"Do you really want to sue the Loyal and Brave King?" Duan Zisheng cleared his throat, spoke solemnly, and repeated Fang Cai's questioning.

This is clearly stipulated in the law of Dali, and he only asks about it routinely. Those who don't know hear it are suspected of protecting the loyal and brave king.

Seeing that they were hesitant, Xiangye had to go out in person. He coughed lightly and kindly reminded, "Everyone, just tell the truth. The queen and I are in charge of you. Don't panic! ”

These words sound like fair words. It seems that Xiangye is on the side of justice. In fact, those catchers knew in their hearts that this was Xiangye threatening them.

Xiangye is warning them not to be on the wrong side.

As soon as these words came out, those who swayed like grass on the wall immediately made a decision. Resolve to let go. If you go to the board, you will go to the board. They stood firmly on the side of Xiangye and were determined to expose the robbery of the prisoner by Chi Le, the king of loyalty and bravery.

One of the people in the arrest said quickly: "My lord, the robbery of the prisoner by the loyal and brave king is a fact. I'm going to sue him, and I'm willing to take the board. ”

One shouted this, and the others immediately chimed in: "My lord." We are willing to be punished. ”

Duan Zisheng nodded and shouted loudly: "Someone!" Eighty boards per person! ”

Eighty boards? Isn't this about human life? Those who caught it quickly, all of them showed panicked expressions. If you don't die, you will have half a life. It's simply not too scary.

They began to retreat again.

"Your Excellency. Can the sentence be changed? "Among those fast catchers, some people are unwilling to die and have the courage to ask.

"Perhaps, you can choose to sleep on the nail bed!" Shaoqing Yunbai of Dali Temple pointed to the torture tool in the corner of the wall-nail board, and replied with a serious face.

It's okay not to say this, but it's even worse to say this.

Everyone looked at the nail board in the corner, and the dense nails on it were terrifying.

The horror of the crowd was worse than that of the board. Damn! That's not just fatal, the soul is scared away. Oh, my God! They all lamented in their hearts, why are they so unlucky? I just let them do it.

Seeing everyone's sincere and frightened looks, Yanxiang suddenly felt very funny. If it weren't for the oppressive atmosphere in the courtroom, she would have laughed out loud.

Xiangye's face immediately pulled down. Everything seemed a little out of his control. This joke is really a bit of a trick. He was too underestimated. I didn't expect that the ecology of the joke would be so tough.

There are provisions in the laws of the Great Western Kingdom, one of which is the sentencing of the imperial court officials or the emperor's relatives. It is expressly stipulated that the complainant should be beaten with a board, ranging from 20 to 80. Duan Zisheng immediately set the sentencing to the highest standard.

Sure enough, there is a means.

Chu Tiankuo stood in place, watching all this. Hearing them say that Chi Le was involved, he couldn't help but sweat for Chi Le.

The person concerned, Chi Le, looked like he was fine. Instead of being shocked or angry, he said very considerately, "Lord Duan." They had the courage to stand up and testify that the actions of the imperial court officials should be respected. Please open the net and let it fall lightly. ”

He smiled faintly: "It's better to punish it according to the lightest punishment and hit the twenty boards, forget it." ”
