The executioner did not speak, and did not even dare to raise his head.

Yang Yuanding sneered: "It's not simple, go and search his house, and then try his family." Have you taken more money home, or who have you interacted with, and it will be clear all at once? ”

At this moment, the executioner was in a hurry, and knelt on the ground with a "poof": "My mother is sick, if this is such a toss, she will die!" My daughter-in-law didn't know anything, and my youngest son was too young—I took fifty taels of silver, but it was a little heavier—and I didn't want to kill anyone! ”

In a hurry, he told the truth in his heart: "Who has never done this kind of thing to do this?" Isn't that the rule? ”

Cheng Lin glanced at Zhou Xiancheng coldly.

This group of officials is in charge of Zhou County.

I actually said this at this time, obviously on weekdays, I don't collect less money, and I don't toss people less!

And the other executioners were also a little embarrassed: this kind of thing is not uncommon, but how can you say it? This one is said, the point is broken, how will the brothers earn this money in the future? Moreover, it is generally only a few taels of silver, which is nothing more than a little sin, your fifty taels are too much!

The most important thing is that you also inquire about the situation before you collect the money!

Is this something you've offended?

The executioner was still there pleading: "I am also a ghost for a while, so I can do such a thing!" My mother is sick, I'm like this - beg Cheng Fuyin, you can open the net! ”

Yang Yuanding looked at him and only asked: "Your mother's life is life, my family's life is the life, isn't it?" Who wasn't raised by a father? Whose life is born cheap again? ”

"Besides, Si Jiu is a doctor. She's saved countless people! If you really want to be expensive and cheap, then you are also cheap and she is expensive! Yang Yuanding gritted his teeth: "Fifty taels!" You can do such a ruthless thing! To this day, you still feel that you are not wrong! You still have the face to plead! ”

Yang Yuanzhang held down Yang Yuanding and only asked Cheng Lin: "Cheng Fuyin, what do you say about this matter?" ”

Cheng Lin looked at the executioner: "Who gave you the money to let you do this?" ”

But the executioner said: "Actually, I didn't see what that person looked like, I met him on the way back from the yamen, he was wearing a curtain, and he only said a few words to me. Then give me the money. Warned me that if I didn't do anything after receiving the money, my family would suffer. ”

Then he was gone. I knew it was a man, about the same height as me, thinner than me, in his forties, and he was definitely not a young man. ”

Yang Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were as sharp as a knife: "Really?" This thing, who knows if what you say is true or false? ”

Executioner: "I swear to God!" ”

Yang Yuanzhang smiled: "I swear, if it was useful, Tianlei would have killed you a long time ago." I don't think it's as good as this, you all like to use torture in the trial, so let's fight again today. If we don't change our minds after the twenty boards, we will believe it. Of course, in the middle, if you tell the truth, you can stop at any time. ”

He glanced at Cheng Lin and said in a consultative tone: "Cheng Fuyin, what do you see?" ”

Cheng Lin lowered her eyes and was helpless: "Twenty boards are better than death." So be it. ”

Everyone knew that this was the Yang family's anger, but he couldn't stop it.

Otherwise, Yang Sanlang, a madman, doesn't know what to do again.

Moreover, this person is guilty of his mistakes and deserves to be punished according to the law.

As a result, the executioner was pressed on the spring bench and beaten on the spot.

Before starting, Yang Yuanding specially reminded: "Just follow his strength to hit the three boards first." Let him taste that too. ”

No one objected.

Even Cheng Lin acquiesced.

As soon as the board went down, the executioner couldn't bear it and screamed.

Listening to his screams, Yang Yuanding couldn't help but clench his fists: Si Jiu was at that time, how much it hurt!

He even wanted to rush over and fight himself!

When the three boards came down, the executioner's body was covered with a layer of cold sweat, and his lips and face turned pale. In the next seventeen boards, he fainted once.

Zhang Zhiqing volunteered: "I'll get a needle, he will definitely wake up!" ”

Qi Jing held down Zhang Zhiqing, his face was cold: "I'll just come." ”

So, the executioner was really woken up by a needle.

The last board is not less.

Anyway, in the end, all he left in his mouth was to admit his mistake and forgive.

In the middle, Cheng Lin looked at Yang Yuanding once.

Yang Yuanding did not hesitate: "His admitting mistakes and begging for mercy are all because he hurts." And not because he has a conscience. If he can't get through it, it's because he can't do it physically. After all, Si Jiu can survive it, and he can rely on himself to support it. Cheng Fuyin, when you call the shots for others, you first think about whether there was anyone to intercede with Si Jiu when she was beaten. ”

Cheng Lin immediately looked up at the ceiling.

Others also look left and right as if nothing happened.

After the man finished boiling twenty boards, Yang Yuanzhang nodded: "It seems that the other party has indeed made sufficient preparations and hid his identity." Now there's one clue left. ”

Everyone looked at Zhou Xiancheng together: Isn't it, only Zhou Xiancheng is left.

Zhou Xiancheng was stared at by so many people, thinking of the screams of the person being beaten just now, he broke out in a cold sweat at that time, and the soles of his feet were even softer.

He said in a loud voice, "I'm an official of the imperial court—"

"That's why I even invited people from the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Officials to come over." Yang Yuanding smiled: "The Criminal Department is in charge of the case, and the Ministry of Officials is in charge of you as officials." Who else do you want? You say, I'll please. ”

His smile was a little scary.

Everyone who sees it wants to say: This is a crazy person, right?

But hesitation in this world is well said. Don't provoke a madman to provoke anyone.

Because he is not the same thinking as normal people, he is prone to accidents.

Zhou Xiancheng's legs are softer anyway.

Cheng Lin said at this time: "I'll ask first." ”

He looked at Zhou Xiancheng and said in his heart: Then it depends on how you choose. If you don't say it, the executioner is a lesson for you.

Cheng Lin asked Zhou Xiancheng: "Why do you want to beat Zhang Xiaoniang?" ”

Zhou Xiancheng bit to death: "I'm just according to convention!" I don't think the child's death had anything to do with her. And she did despise the court! I didn't want to hit her at first, I just let people hit the man! ”

He was also very aggrieved: "Who knew that the executioner received the money and actually killed him!" I'm wronged—"

Cheng Lin: ...... Do you want to hear what you're talking about?

Yang Yuanding smiled, and his smile was even more terrifying: "Guess, before that executioner took bribes, did you worry about what if you didn't beat Si Jiu?" ”

Zhou Xiancheng: ......

He avoided Yang Yuanding's gaze: "I was really wronged!" Maybe those people guessed my style of handling the case, and they predicted—"
