Chapter 607: Night Trial of Xu Fan

"Hai Qingtian", the lethality of these three words to Hai Rui is comparable to the lethality of "beautiful man" to Chang Yuan.

These peasants may have the cunning of small people, the greed of the poor, and the sin of picking the wool of feudalism, but they are poor in the first place.

They just want to eat more, dress warmer, and have a family that can afford two pairs of medicines when they are sick, so they are willing to risk being hacked to become slaves.

They sued Xu Fan, they were indeed a little anxious, and they seemed a little ruthless and unrighteous, but they only had this chance to turn over once in their lives, and they would inevitably be red-eyed.

In the face of such a group of poor people, he knelt on the ground and wept and shouted "Hai Qingtian" and sentenced them to be guilty, but Hai Rui couldn't do it.

Hai Rui knew that Xu Fan was a strong word, but the reason he won was impeccable, and the pinions in Hai Rui's mind were smoking.

This feeling is familiar, Hai Rui smoked in a daze, and finally thought of this.

I can't say Xu Fan, I can't say Xiao Feng, but I can't say it either, I can clearly feel that Xu Fan is strong words, and Xiao Feng sounded strong words at first, but the more I thought about it, the more it made sense.

Xu Fan's reasoning can defeat himself, while Xiao Feng's reasoning can crush himself, so if you compare yourself as a unit of measurement......

"Xu Fan, this official does not have a verbal dispute with you. This official wants to bring you back to the capital, and ask the court to personally hear the case!

The official can't say you, naturally someone can say you! You wait for me! ”

Sanxiu is about to leave, so he will go to Xiao Mansion to say goodbye first.

Xiao Feng persuaded him bitterly: "Master, you have already returned to Japan before, and you have done your best to your compatriots in China, isn't it good to stay in Daming to enjoy life?" ”

When it comes to enjoying life, Sankyu's face showed a wistful smile and nodded slightly.

"Chunyan Tower is indeed a place of bliss on earth, and the poor monk has comprehended the true meaning of the life of Master Yixiu in Chunyan Tower, and he is blind to death."

Xiao Feng was taken aback: "Who is your good friend in Chunyan Building, it won't be a cherry, so try not to pass by the butcher shop on the main street when you leave Beijing......

Sanxiu shook his head: "It's the green willow girl introduced to me by Mother Cherry, it turned out that she was called Erma when she was in Baihualou, and the poor monk and the green willow girl discussed life and gained a lot."

It is worthy of the land of the Central Plains, the land of the Ming Dynasty, and even a Qinglou woman is so educated, which really shocks the poor monks. ”

Xiao Feng smiled bitterly: "My brother Qin will definitely attack the Ming Dynasty, now that Japan has become a big military camp, it will be useless for the master to go back, why bother?" ”

Sanxiu said angrily: "The rabbit died and the fox was sad and hurtful, let alone human? The poor monk returned to Japan, knowing that he could not do it, just to have peace of mind. ”

Xiao Feng nodded, he already knew the bottom line of Sanxiu. If there is a decisive battle between Japan and Daming, let him stay in Daming, he is better than dead.

"The master doesn't care about his own life and death, he only seeks to purify all sentient beings, Xiao Feng admires. There is a fate to reunite in this life, but there is no chance to meet in the next life in this life.

Ask the master to bring a message to Xiao Qin, if he is willing to bow down and let the Ming garrison in Japan, he can avoid fighting.

If he still has delusions in his heart and intends to get involved in the Ming Dynasty, Japan will not exist, and he will also die and the country will be destroyed. ”

Sanxiu looked at Xiao Feng blankly, and after a long time, he bowed down and saluted, slammed it to the ground, didn't say anything, and turned around to get into the car.

After getting into the carriage, Sanxiu wanted to speak again and again, struggled repeatedly, and finally spoke.

"Heavenly Master, if one day, when you really attack Japan, you have to be careful and take care. Japan is a country of islands, and no other country can invade it.

In addition to the long distance by sea, there are also powerful people in Japan. The poor monk has seen it once, and it really has some magic skills.

It is said that when the Mongols went on an expedition to Japan, the gust of kamikaze on the sea was not accidental, and the Heavenly Master was careful about it. ”

Xiao Feng nodded silently, did not speak, and watched Sanxiu go away. He knew how difficult it would be for Sanxiu to say this.

When Sanxiu left the city gate, Xiao Feng's laughter came from the air, Sanxiu looked up, Xiao Feng stood on top of the city tower, and saw him off.

"The clouds are light, the sky is high, and the wind is high,

Fluttering yellow leaves to send geese away,

Drink alone under the tree and listen to the cicadas. ”

This is the upper que of the song "Huanxi Sha", Xiao Feng finished reading, but stopped talking, Sanxiu knew it in his heart, looked up to the sky and laughed, and continued loudly.

"Qianhua falls to solve the wind and cold,

It's hard to rise in all kinds of helplessness,

Wave a glass and smile at the moon. ”

After the three days were over, he no longer saluted, put down the car curtain, and surrounded by the guards, the dust went away, and he disappeared without a trace.

There may not be the sun in my world, but so what, the moon can also illuminate my path.

A gentleman was born in the country of villains, not a gentleman's fault. The villain is born in the country of gentlemen, and it is the sin of the villain!

Xu Fan was taken to the capital by Hai Rui, which made Lu Bing breathe a sigh of relief. Originally, if Xiao Feng's expectations went wrong, he would have to let Jin Yiwei find a reason to make a move.

But as Xiao Feng expected, Hai Rui could not say anything about Xu Fan, and he was unwilling to let those farmers suffer dumb losses, so he could only bring Xu Fan to the capital to find foreign aid.

Xu Fan was not convicted, but was only awaiting trial, so it was impossible to be imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, but only in Shuntianfu first.

Guo Jun heard that Xu Shoufu's son was going to be imprisoned in his own prison, and he was so frightened that he fell ill overnight, and wrote to ask the acting director Yin Xiaofeng.

Jiajing knew that this was designed by Xiao Feng and Lu Bing, and it was not difficult for Guo Jun, so he immediately took it right.

When Xu Jie heard that his son had been arrested, he was not calm at all. Naturally, the family wrote to him, and he knew that it was the land that caused the trouble.

But what the specific situation is, and to what extent, these families are not very clear. He wanted to ask Xiao Feng about it, but Xiao Feng didn't go to the cabinet at all.

Xu Jie found Guo Jun again and wanted to inquire about whether his son's affairs mattered and whether he could be released on bail pending trial, but the servant told Xu Jie that Master Guo was sick.

Xu Jie, ignoring officialdom etiquette, forced his way into Guo Jun's bedroom, and then saw Guo Jun who was bedridden.

Because he has been sick too many times, Guo Jun has become very sick, his head is covered with a white handkerchief, he has not eaten for a day, his face is dry, and his eyes are dull.

Xu Jie was unmoved, and sat on the chair next to Guo Jun's bed, looking at Guo Jun with burning eyes.

"Master Guo, you and I have been officials in the same dynasty for many years, and I still know your situation. Let's talk about it, can my son be released on bail for his fault? ”

Guo Jun looked at Xu Jie sluggishly, and it took him a long time to react: "Huh? Lord Xu? When did you come in? ”

Xu Jie held back his anger: "I've been in for a while." Master Guo, I'm asking you, can you go home on bail for the sins of the dog. ”

Guo Jun looked at Xu Jie dumbfoundedly: "Ling Lang?" What happened to Ling Lang? Did you commit any sin? I haven't heard? ”

Xu Jie said loudly: "My son is in the cell of your Shuntian Mansion!" As the governor of the government, can you not know? ”

Guo Jun said weakly: "Lord Xu, I have been sick for a while, sometimes good and sometimes bad, I really don't know about Ling Lang."

Lord Xu will either go to Lord Xiao to discuss, or the cabinet will directly issue an order to let Shuntianfu release people, which is also made.

Yes...... I can't do it, come on, get the medicine quickly, the official wants to drink the medicine! ”

The servant came with a bowl of medicinal soup that I didn't know what kind of medicine it was, Guo Jun took a small sip, and after half a day, the bowl of medicine only suffered a little flesh wound.

Of course, Xu Jie couldn't order the release of his son in the name of the cabinet, so he had to block the door of the Xiao Mansion, but Qi An told Xu Jie that Lord Xiao was not at home.

Xu Jie frowned and said, "Won't he come back at night?" ”

Qi An smiled: "Lord Xu, this is really uncertain. My lord sometimes lives at home, sometimes in the princess's mansion, sometimes in the drunken immortal residence, and sometimes in Yan Niang's house. ”

Xu Jie knew that Xiao Feng was deliberately avoiding him, and there was no other way to think about it, so he had to go back to the house first. He expected that no matter what Xiao Feng's idea was, he would not dare to move Xu Fan easily.

There are many things in the world about land refuge, and Xu Fan is not an official, at best, it is a refuge dispute between large households and farmers.

Even if he deducts a big hat and says that Xu Fan is a conspirator with a farmer to evade the national land tax, it is just a matter of fine, and it will not reach the level of punishment.

Anyway, tomorrow in the court, Xiao Feng will definitely have to come forward, this night's time, do they dare to beat my son?

Xu Jie's idea, Xu Fan definitely didn't agree with it, because he looked at the three people smiling in front of him at this time, and he was very panicked.

The three of them smiled happily one by one, and the happiest one he had seen before, it was the famous Imperial Prison Elder Chang, who looked at Xu Fan as if he were looking at a plate of delicious food.

Lu Bing and Xiao Feng smiled relatively reservedly, but the ill-will on their faces was more obvious, and they were not as bad as they looked at as old as usual.

"Lord Lu, I'm not a criminal, I'm just waiting for trial overnight in Shuntian Mansion, it's not Jinyiwei's responsibility."

Lu Bing said with a smile: "Jin Yiwei only wants to take care of it, and he doesn't have to take care of it, not to mention that you evade the land tax, even if you are a small solution, I can also take care of it." ”

"Even so, this is the prison cell of Shuntianfu, not the edict, you have no right to execute here!"

Lu Bing nodded: "This is right, but if the officials of the Shuntian Mansion ask Jinyiwei to assist in the interrogation, then there will be no problem." ”

Xiao Feng nodded: "Lord Lu, Xu Fan is very stubborn, Hai Rui has entrusted Shuntian Mansion to try it on his behalf, and I ask you for help as Acting Mansion Yin." ”

Seeing that Lao Chang was already digging out the baby, Xu Fan's cold sweat broke out.

Although he, like Xu Jie, concluded that no one would dare to torture him, he was not as confident as Xu Jie at the moment.

It's like a guy telling a girl to just talk and do nothing else. Even if the girl believes in this again, her self-confidence will definitely continue to decrease as he takes off his clothes less and less.

And Lao Chang was standing in front of Xu Fan at this moment, had already taken off his coat, and began to show off the use of each of his treasures.

"This is called fighting cattle across the mountains, and it is much more civilized than playing the pipa. Lord Lu said that no one can detect the injury tomorrow, otherwise I won't be needed in the future. ”

It was a wooden hammer with a thick layer of cotton wool wrapped around its head, and a small quilt, which looked shabby and had been mended many times.

"This quilt has been tempered a lot, and under this quilt, I don't know how many people have been sent away.

Make sure your internal organs are shattered, and if there's a little bruise on your skin, then my old craft won't be at home! ”

Xu Fan gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Lu, if you dare to hack me in Shuntian Mansion, I'm afraid that I won't be able to spare you even if I live long live!" ”

Lu Bing sneered: "Guo Jun has pretended to be sick for so many years, and he should also take some responsibility, otherwise is Shuntian Mansion Yin so easy to be?"

But don't worry, I have to give Xu Jie's face, I won't kill you tonight, Lao Chang, what other uses are there for this thing? ”

Lao Chang had some regrets: "Don't you kill you?" Then this thing needs to be technical, so you can't use a sledgehammer directly, you have to use a small hammer. ”

Lao Chang took out a small wooden hammer and patiently explained to Xu Fan.

"I learned this craft from an old eunuch. This old eunuch is also an ancestral craft, which has been passed down for several generations. ”

Xu Fan was surprised: "How can eunuchs also be ancestral?" ”

Lao Chang was speechless for a while, and defended: "People can recognize their godson!" The godson recognizes the godson again, and the children and grandchildren are endless. ”

He shook the small hammer: "Let's go back to this thing, this is not for killing people, this thing was originally used for women to carry out palace punishment." ”

Xiao Feng was surprised: "The woman is executed in the palace? What kind of practice, why haven't I heard of such a law in the Ming Dynasty? ”

Lao Chang said regretfully: "Women's palace punishment, also known as the great claustrophobia." If a woman is struck in the abdomen with a wooden hammer, the internal organs will fall and seal humanity without harming people's lives.

After the woman underwent this punishment, it was just inhumane, but it did not affect the drowning. In the past, when a woman in the palace or in a powerful family committed adultery, this punishment was often imposed.

It seems cruel, but it is actually merciful. Otherwise, they can only be beaten to death, or punished by some other unseemly means, which is very rough.

This craft was still common during the Song Dynasty, but after the Mongols came to power, they did not pay much attention to women's chastity, and they did not practice claustrophobic punishment again.

As the old eunuchs gradually died, the craft was almost lost! Fortunately, I was able to learn this skill from an ancestral eunuch in time. ”

Xiao Feng sighed: "As far as I know, there is no such claustrophobic punishment in this dynasty, so isn't your craft learned in vain?" ”

Lao Chang shook his head; "No, no, no, there is no outdated craftsmanship, only outdated usage. After this craft was passed on to the lower officials, the lower officials brought forth the new ones and gave it a new lease of life!

After repeated research, Xia Guan found that this claustrophobic punishment could not help but be carried out on women, and it could also be carried out on men! ”

Xiao Feng was like an excellent proclaimant, looking at Xu Fan's increasingly pale face, and humbly asked Lao Chang for advice.

"Aren't men just castrated? This craft is very skilled in the palace, do you still need to be claustrophobic? ”

Lao Chang shook his head and said: "The craftsmanship in the palace is to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but this man's claustrophobic craftsmanship is my originality, and only I can use it in the Ming Dynasty."

Men's adultery begins in the kidneys. The kidney essence is sufficient, which is humane. I used this wooden hammer to strike at the kidneys on either side of the man's waist and cast a dark force.

The kidneys can be disabled by shock. These men, although they look like ordinary people on the outside, are no longer humane.

Compared with cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, there are many benefits, at least it will not damage the urethra, causing the father-in-law to live with diapers every day. ”

Xiao Feng was surprised: "Since this craft is so wonderful, why don't you use it in the palace?" This is also a benefit for the father-in-law! ”

Lu Bing interjected lightly: "Because no matter how good the craftsmanship is, it can't be guaranteed to be foolproof." What if?

What if one of them recovers from an accident? Therefore, the palace still has to be cut in two, and the grass can be cut and eradicated. ”

The three of them are like talking about group comedy, singing and harmonizing, and Xu Fan's confidence is getting less and less.

If it is really as the old saying goes, then it is really not absolutely impossible for them to hack themselves in prison today!

Even if he is released from prison tomorrow and tells others that he has been hacked, there is no evidence.

No trauma, no witnesses, nothing. How can I prove that I have injured my kidney and is no longer good?

Do you want to find a group of Qinglou women who stripped naked and surrounded themselves to prove that they really didn't react? Not really......

"Lord Lu, you and I have no grievances, why did you harm me so much? It's Lord Xiao, and I'm just angry at the Qinglou making trouble.

If your anger is still unresolved, I will apologize to you. You and my father are officials in the same dynasty and auxiliary ministers in the cabinet, so why should you break the net? ”

Seeing that Xu Fan had softened, Lu Bing said lightly: "I don't know what you have with Lord Xiao, I only know that you tricked me."

Let me ask you, who wrote the letter that Yootai and Tantong received, huh? ”

Xu Fan is very smart after all, as soon as Lu Bing said this, he immediately fixed his eyes on Xiao Feng's face, and Xiao Feng smiled silently.

Xu Fan sighed: "It seems that it is not Lord Xiao who asked Lord Lu to assist in handling the case, but Lord Lu who asked Lord Xiao to assist in handling the case, no wonder, no wonder."

This is something that can never go wrong, but I forgot that Lord Xiao has a way.

Yes, I wrote the letter, I admit it. Lord Lu does not need to be punished. ”

Lu Bing nodded: "Very good, then where did you learn about the content of that letter?"

What else do you know about the contents of your letter to Yanagi and Tantong? ”

Xu Fan smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Lu, I can't hide it, I copied those two letters." I don't know a word other than the contents of the letter. ”

Lu Bing was stunned: "Copy? Did someone write you a letter as well? ”

Xu Fan nodded: "Yes, I got a letter, and then I wrote with my left hand, copied the two letters, and sent them to Liutai and Tan Tong respectively." ”

Lu Bing said coldly: "Is it the letter that asked you to do this?" ”

Xu Fan shook his head and said: "The content of the letter is the two letters I copied, not many words, not many words. ”

Lu Bing frowned: "Then why did you do this?" ”

Xu Fan looked at Xiao Feng: "The two adults are extremely smart people, since they know that it was me who wrote a letter to Liutai and Tantong, this question will naturally be understood."

Yes, I was humiliated by Lord Xiao in the civil and military disputes, and I was also stripped of my status as a jinshi, so I naturally have some resentment towards Lord Xiao in my heart.

And Lord Xiao and my father were officials in the same dynasty, and they disagreed with each other's political views, and the ministers either supported Xu or Xiao, and their strength was also comparable.

I thought, since this matter involves Yan Shifan and Lord Lu, then if I poke it out, Jinyiwei will definitely track down the Yan Party officials.

When the Yan Party officials saw that it was Jinyiwei investigating the case, they would immediately think that this was the meaning of Banzai, and Banzai must have been bewitched by Lord Xiao.

In this way, the officials of the Yan Party naturally hated Lord Xiao to the core, and turned to help my father. That's what I'm really for. ”

Xu Fan was blunt, but Lu Bing was quite surprised. However, the two parties in the court are fighting, and Jiajing has always liked to see it, and he can't be nosy in this matter. He's focused on more important things!

"Xu Fan, who gave you that letter?"
