If not, how would Xiang Ye be willing to give up? The queen was very concerned about this case, and Duan Zisheng had to act in accordance with the law, and he was not allowed to do it for personal gain.

He had to. He's also helpless.

Yun Bai saw Lord Duan's helplessness, and finally didn't say anything more. He glanced at the water veins with melancholy eyes, and sighed with some regret. He couldn't help, he couldn't speak. It's so helpless.

Duan Zisheng waited for a while, and saw that the officials in the public court were standing straight, like a big tree, regardless of the wind and rain, their perseverance was strong, and they did not move. His face was grim, he picked up the shocking wood on the desk, and slapped it vigorously: "Come on, put on the torture instrument!" ”

After slapping the shocking wood so vigorously, he reached under the desk and shook it. Fang Cai, due to the excessive force, his hands were numb and painful.

This shot is shocking, and the effect is immediate. Due to the exhaustion of his feeding strength, he slapped the shocking wood so hard, and the shocking wood naturally made a loud sound. The sound was earth-shattering, deafening, like a drum. frightened the people inside and outside the hall. For a while, the scene was silent.

It's just that all eyes are not on that shocking piece of wood. Almost all eyes were on the nail board.

The nail board lay quietly in the corner, surrounded by all kinds of torture instruments.

"Yes! My lord! The officials replied in unison.

At this time, the officials didn't dare to pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore, so they reluctantly moved their steps and walked towards the place where all kinds of torture instruments were placed. Although they obeyed Lord Duan's order, they really went to move the torture tools. However, in their hearts, they didn't want to see the water vein girl suffer.

Therefore, when moving the torture equipment, the movement could not help but be slower.

In the process of moving the torture equipment, some of the officials were thinking that the cold torture equipment was placed in front of them, maybe the girl with the water vein would be discouraged. It's all at this time, and they're still fantasizing.

No matter how slow the officials were, what should have happened would always happen, but after a few more delays, the torture instrument was finally placed in the middle of the court.

The nail board was placed in front of the water vein girl, and there were dense long nails on it, which shone dazzlingly against the light. The light was dazzling, and it made people tremble.

Duan Zisheng looked at the water vein girl, pointed to the nail board with his finger, and affirmed again: "The water vein girl, according to the laws of the Great Western Kingdom, the civil sue must be punished first. If you insist on telling your lordship, you will be tortured. You roll over the nail board, and the judge accepts your complaint. ”

Thinking of the dense spikes running through the body, everyone suddenly shuddered, and a chill came out of their hearts.

Shui Mai held his head high, not looking at the nail board in front of her. But the nail board did not disappear out of thin air because of the ignorance of the water veins. The nails on the nail board stood tall and tall, and the roots emitted an eerie cold light, and the roots were full of a terrifying murderous aura.

She frowned, her eyes staring away, trying not to look at the nail board, trying not to imagine what was about to happen.

"My lord, I want to sue, I have made up my mind. Let's get killed! Shui Mai said in a resolute tone, her eyes lowered, and her expression calm.

However, her voice at the moment was a little strange, and it seemed to tremble a little. Of course, those who are not familiar with her, can't hear it. Only she knew in her heart that at this moment, she was a little scared in the face of the nail board that was shining with cold light.

However, there was a voice in her heart guiding her, as long as she passed this level, she would be able to save Chu Tiankuo and them. Her sacrifice was worth it. With this belief, she suddenly became a warrior, full of strength and infinite courage. She faced the nail board calmly and fearlessly.

With so many people openly watching, Duan Zisheng was helpless: "Come on, search her!" ”

A female officer came up and began to search the water vein girl.

Shui Mai raised his hands flat, stretched out at the same height as his shoulders, and actively cooperated with the routine inspection of the female officer.

The female officer groped and examined the water vein girl through her clothes. After confirming that the girl was not wearing any armor, and that she was wearing protection, the female officer went down.

After the inspection, Duan Zisheng took a deep breath: "Come on, go to punishment!" His brow furrowed, and he spoke word by word in a stern tone.

After speaking, he glanced at the water vein girl in the hall, and saw that her handsome face was full of determination and fearlessness. He only glanced at it, and suddenly felt that the whole person was not good, and a little guilt welled up in his heart. He was stung by the clear eyes of the water, frowned, and turned his face away.

He has tried many prisoners, and he has met many poor people. However, I have never seen such a calm and death-oriented person. A pair of black eyes on the girl in the water vein are as clear as washed by water. The eyes were clear and transparent, as clear as the dew on a rose on a spring morning.

Duan Zisheng felt distressed. It's cruel to do it yourself. He said silently in his heart, Miss Shuimai, I'm sorry, I have to act according to the law.

"Yes, sir!" The two officials were ordered to go out of the ranks.

Although the girl who looked at the water vein was a woman, she had a calm attitude, and the onlookers sighed and regretted, and the sympathy was overflowing.

The two servants stepped forward, took up the maiden, and threw them on the nail board.

At this moment, almost all of them held their breath, frowned involuntarily, and their hearts lifted. Some of the timid ones even covered their eyes.

Only Xiang Ye smiled evilly, opened his eyes wide, and looked at everything that was happening in front of him.

……

'Ah......h

A cry of agony......

The girl was lying on the nail board, pierced by the sharp nails, and every inch of flesh was aching, and it hurt to drill her heart.

She rolled her eyes on the spot, her lips were bloodless, and she almost fainted in pain. The cry of pain sounded like the screams of a terrible ghost in hell.

The pain was indescribable as the nails on the nail board pierced into her skin one by one. She tried her best to restrain the cry of pain, but she couldn't.

That terrible shout was almost subconsciously and instinctively shouted. She could hold back her crying, trying her best not to let herself cry, but she couldn't hold back her call. With a silent shout, her face turned white in an instant.

It just hurts. She was in pain with beads of sweat the size of beans on her head, and every nail on her body ached. She was dying in pain, and those pains were coming to her like a tide, wave after wave. The muscles on her face twisted together like a bitter gourd.

It was late autumn and the weather was cold, and the breeze was blowing, with a bleak chill, but she was in cold sweat. Sweat was dripping from her forehead, but her lips were tightly closed, trying not to let herself snort in the slightest pain. Her face turned pale due to the severe pain.

Outsiders only know that she is in pain, but they can't imagine how painful it is.
