Chapter 237: Zhao Huan's guilt is inescapable
Juechen didn't expect Lu Bu to say such a thing behind his back, so he turned around and pointed at Lu Bu in a hurry.
Lu Bu didn't give him a chance to speak, and deliberately shouted: "Don't get away with this thief, take it quickly." ”
Several jailers and cell bosses didn't know why, but they still brandished their weapons and swooped down on the dust.
Jiechen was also angry for a while, snatched a steel knife, knocked over two jailers, and was about to rush out.
Lu Bu seized the opportunity to separate everyone, and the halberd flashed and smashed down.
Dust is blocked with a steel knife.
The halberd smashed on the steel knife, and the force of the downward pressure was not reduced, carrying the power of Wan Jun to push the thick back of the knife straight down to the top of the head of the absolute dust.
Before the steel knife fell, Jiechen had already spit out a mouthful of turbid blood, and at this time, he knew that he had fallen for Lu Bu.
A bald head collapsed in an instant, and a fishy liquid spurted out.
Several jailers and cell bosses were stunned.
"Killing the suspect without the permission of the adult, Tang Zhuangshi is so bold?" The cell boss shouted.
"Don't you see this thief trying to escape?" Lu Bu asked rhetorically.
Everyone glanced at each other, and most of them guessed Lu Bu's intentions in their hearts, but they were powerless to refute, and they were afraid of his bravery, so they didn't dare to say anything.
"This matter has Ben Hou to tell the lord, and at that time, you will have to go to the lobby to testify for Ben Hou." Lu Bu said.
Everyone took a few steps back, still not daring to say anything.
Lu Bu put away the halberd and strode out.
"Quick, go and report to Lord Shen quickly." Seeing Lu Bu leaving, the cell boss hurriedly ordered a jailer.
The jailer made a short run towards the Punishment Department.
At this time, Shen Pu had already returned from the palace.
Although the emperor was very dissatisfied with Shen Pu's private arrest of Zhao Huan, because Shen Pu had Zhao Huan's confession in his hands, it was difficult to blame him again.
Fortunately, Zhao Huan's confession did not involve Dong Chun, but only said that he was not on good terms with Master Bao and wanted to kill Lu Bu to warn Bao Zheng. Another reason, which is naturally more convincing, is that Lu Bu once broke one of his legs.
The emperor remembered that his Zhao Huan family had contributed to the Great Song Dynasty, and asked Shen Pu to dispose of it as appropriate after he returned.
As soon as Shen Pu was promoted, the jailer and Lu Bu arrived one after another.
Shen Pu waved his hand and motioned for the two to wait for a while.
Zhao Huan was led into the lobby.
"Does General Zhao Huan have any doubts about this confession?" Shen Pu asked the official to give the confession to Zhao Huan.
Zhao Huan didn't wait for the emperor's news, he already knew that something was wrong, and he didn't dare to resist anymore, so he lowered his head and didn't speak.
"Drawing."
Shen Pu gave an order, and the official grabbed Zhao Huan's finger and pressed it the confession.
"Zhao Huan intended to kill Tang Zhuangshi because of personal grudges, and he was on the way to save his relatives from the concubine, although he did not succeed, but his intentions were extremely sinister, and then he teamed up with others to frame Tang Zhuangshi repeatedly, although there was a reason for the incident, but it was not enough to atone. According to the law, the magistrate sentenced you to three years' imprisonment, and you were removed from all official positions, and you will never be hired. Remembering that you are injured, you are specially allowed to serve your sentence after your injuries have healed. Shen Pu said.
Several officials came over and took Zhao Huan down.
Shen Pu turned to look at Lu Bu.
"Tang Zhuangshi used to punish the suspect without the permission of his own official, and he should have been punished, but because you are reckless by nature and eager to find the truth, you will not be held accountable. I hope to take this as a warning and be more cautious in dealing with things in the future. ”
Everyone looked at Lu Bu.
Although Lu Bu was still a little unwilling to Shen Pu's sentence, he thought that Zhao Huan had become a cripple and would have to rely on others to take care of him for the rest of his life, so he no longer cared.
"What adults teach is that villains should pay more attention in the future." Lu Bu said to Shen Pu.
Shen Pu nodded.
Only then did he remember that the jailer was coming, so he looked at the jailer.
The jailer hurried over.
"Lord Kaiyu." Lu Bu was worried that this jailer would say something unfavorable to him, so he preemptively said, "The villain was ordered to take the Jedi monk, who knew that this guy actually beat the villain and intended to escape, but fortunately, the villain and the officials followed suit. It's just that the villain missed for a while and put him to death, which can be proved by the prison officials, and I hope the adults will see it. ”
Shen Pu was shocked.
When did you want him to go to prison for interrogation?
However, Shen Pu quickly understood.
There was a flash of white light in his mind.
This Tang Lu Bu is still so fierce in dealing with the person who indirectly framed him, if he knew that the emperor did not mean to punish Dong Chun, it is difficult to guarantee that he will do even more heart-wrenching evil things.
This person must not be left around.
Pretending to be calm, he turned his head to look at the jailer, and Shen Pu asked, "What Tang Zhuangshi said is true, were you there at the time?" ”
"Back to my lord, the villain and the other three were there at the time." The jailer was also happy, and said, "I waited until I saw the Jedi Monk run out of the prison, and Tang Zhuangshi chased after him, and the single knife in the villain's hand was also snatched away by the Jedi Chen. Then, I saw Tang Zhuangshi cut down this person. ”
Shen Pu let out a "hmm".
Knowing that this was a trap designed by Lu Bu, but he couldn't pierce it, he thought about it quickly, and Shen Pu suddenly slapped the table in front of him hard.
"Bold Tang Lu Bu, that Jiechen has not yet been convicted, how can you be allowed to kill indiscriminately. Although there is evidence of last resort, this wind must not rise, and he will be sentenced to 40 canes and imprisoned for the time being. After the official and Mr. Bao have discussed, they will make other disposals. ”
When several officials were arresting Jiechen with Lu Bu, they were already familiar with each other, and when they heard Shen Pu's order, no one moved, just looked at each other.
Shen Pu was anxious.
"Have you ever heard what this official said?"
The crowd seemed to wake up suddenly.
Without waiting for everyone to come, Lu Bu had already walked out of the door first.
In any case, except for Dong Chun's house, the rest of the wicked people have already surrendered to the law, so even if they are hit by a few boards, what does it matter.
Caning was one of the most common punishments in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was also an effective means of dealing with those who were extremely stubborn.
The tip of the wand was spliced together with a heavy board of oak wood, fixed with iron wire, and the board had a shallow blood groove on it, and generally speaking, as long as a dozen boards went down, the flesh of the prisoner's buttocks would bloom, and if he really finished forty boards, the flesh and skin of the prisoner's buttocks would no longer be found, only bones covered with blood remained.
If the people who were executed were very angry, or if they offended the executing officer, the official would deliberately inlay a few iron nails in the middle of the board to ensure that if the board went down, you would be disabled for life.
Naturally, these people would not do this to Lu Bu.
After a few symbolic beatings, before even the skin and flesh were broken, Lu Bu was taken back to the lobby.
"Put yourself in a cell for the time being, and wait for the fate to be released." Shen Pu waved his hand.
Lu Bu smiled secretly.
This scholar, who is full of poetry and books, has nothing to do with himself.
Shen Pu walked down the lobby, returned to the back room, sat on the bed, and was stunned for a while at the room full of ancient books.
The words Lu, Song, and Gu still kept flashing in my mind.
He wasn't sure if this "Lu" was related to Lu Bu, but Lu Bu was so brave and so distinct, once something really happened in the future, I am afraid it would never be as easy to erase as it is today.
If you can't find Dong Chun, will this guy ...... Shen Pu only felt a chill in his back.
Some people died, but not completely......
