Luo Fan opened, pointed to the five family members behind Tao Zhili, and shouted: "You are the one who committed violence in the alley with Tao Zhili at the beginning. Come forward! ”

The five family members saw that Tao Zhili had been beaten like this, where was there still the arrogance of the past. One by one, they were pale, and they moved to the front of the hall with their legs shaking.

Luo Fan's face was black, his voice was cold, and he shouted: "I ask you, you accompanied Tao Zhili to the street that day, and after you arrived at the street, what happened, tell the truth quickly!" ”

The five family members looked at each other with a look of panic. Although they were afraid of the power of the mortal, they were all silent and did not dare to say a word. After all, whoever dares to say it will be a dead end.

Seeing this, Luo Fan slapped the table and shouted: "Above the lobby, you dare to hide it!" Now I'll call people personally, and you will give me answers one by one. If you dare to conceal it again, you will be sentenced to a great punishment. Let's start with the guy on the right, you talk about it first? ”

When the family saw Luo Fan pointing at him, he trembled with fear. Seeing that he was strong, with a fat head and big ears, and a big beard, he did not look like a small servant, but more like a butcher killing pigs on the street. Standing in the midst of this harsh Dharma Hall, he was also so frightened that his whole body shrunk and trembled, and he couldn't say a whole sentence. I heard him stammer, "Return, sir! I! I! I do not know! I forgot. Big, adult. It's been so long that I've forgotten about it. Can't remember. ”

Luo Fan snorted and snorted: "Above the lobby, how dare you lie." It seems that if I don't give you some color, you still have luck. Someone comes, and the rod is twenty! After twenty rods, if he still can't remember. Forty more rods. If you can't remember forty rods, hit eighty more. And so it went on until he remembered. If he is killed, it is his own life! ”

If you are ruthlessly ordered, you will be beaten to death. The people were dumbfounded, is this a trial case? It's obviously a wanton offense, it's too unusual.

Zhao Xue also frowned and said, "How can there be such a trial of a case." Isn't this torture to extract confessions! Invite so many people to come and see him try the case, is he trying it like this? It seems that he is an expert in killing, and he is really a layman in trying cases. ”

Xie Xu said: "As the saying goes, you are not afraid of officials, but only of management." Luofan is the county magistrate of Dongjie, and this is his territory. No one else has the right to interfere. But he is not stupid, if he really kills people unreasonably, Tao Feng, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, will naturally not spare him. Keep watching, I think he should have a back hand. ”

As soon as he got Luo Fan's order, he dragged the family aside and began to pick up the stick and beat it with a hard cane. They naturally didn't dare to beat Tao Zhili, but they were still not afraid of beating a family. The stick fell, and soon the skin was opened, and the family couldn't help screaming again and again, shouting for mercy!

In this way, while beating a housekeeper. Luo Fan pointed to the second family again, and drank coldly: "What's your name?" It's not really recruited! ”

This family member is short in stature, with small ears and a black face, and he knows that he is a clever ghost at first glance. Hearing the question, he directly knelt on the ground and cried: "Back to the adult, the villain's name is Qi Bahu." The adults are gracious, but the villains really don't know anything! Adults are merciful, the little man is weak and can't stand the stick, ask the adults to be merciful! Ask for your kindness! ”

Luo Fan raised his eyebrows and scolded angrily: "Bold fanatics, treacherous thieves." Above the Dharma Hall, he still has luck in his heart and wants to get through the tricks. If someone comes, beat him first with forty sticks. If not, give him eighty strokes. Fight the same until you die! ”

Yan Luo doesn't talk about the reason, let alone right and wrong, and only uses torture to make you vomit out all your heart, liver and lungs all your life. At that moment, two more catchers stepped forward to pull Qi Bahu away, and then pressed them to the ground and slammed them with a mess. The miserable howl of the one in the hall immediately turned into two people crying!

At this time, Luo Fan stared at the third family again, raised his hand and pointed, slapped the table and shouted: "What's your name as a thief?" If you can't remember what you did, then you will have eighty strokes of the rod. If you are still strong, until you are killed, I see if you will recruit or not! ”

This family member is the least courageous and physically weak. A sallow face, full of thieves' panic. His legs were shaking early, and he raised his sleeves to wipe his sweat repeatedly. Hearing Luofan's violent drinking, the whole collapsed to the ground, crying: "My lord! I say! I say! Don't beat me with eighty sticks, the villain is weak and can't afford to beat eighty sticks. What you ask, what I say. ”

Luo Fan drank coldly: "Even so, don't tell the truth about that day!" ”

The family lay on the ground and cried miserably: "That day, the five of us went to the street to play with the young master and met a woman who was shopping for vegetables on the street. The young master said that the woman was good-looking, so we followed all the way. When I came to Donghua Alley, I saw no one around. The young master let us catch her. And then, then, Childe just! ”

Luo Fan's eyes froze, and he reprimanded: "That's it!" In the Dharma Hall, the truth is telling. Otherwise, I will beat you to death! ”

The family was so frightened that he closed his eyes and said, "The young master forced her!" When we were done, we did the same! ”

After listening to what the family said, he fell directly to the ground and cried. The people in the hall scolded loudly when they heard it. Although this matter has long been known to everyone, but now that I heard it in the court, I was still angry.

Luo Fan snorted coldly, looked at the other family members, and shouted, "Someone has already recruited." Do others remember the events of that day? If you still can't remember, try the power of this stick too! ”

Seeing that some people had confessed, how could others still be willing to carry it, and they shouted and confessed.

Luo Fan raised his hand and shouted: "Okay, since you have confessed your sins, then stop the rod and blame." Master Jia, let a cadre sign and draw a pledge! ”

Master Jia immediately picked up the confession and asked the little guys to draw the confession one by one!

The people nodded one after another, this official is really powerful, and he will make things clear with a few sticks.

Zhao Xue shook her head: "Is Luo Fan stupid!" The evidence extorted by torture cannot be moved to Tao Feng's grandson. He may also be charged with lynching. ”

Xie Xu pondered: "Then you underestimate the mortal. The laws of the dynasty are clearly written, and contempt of the court can be punished with forty strokes. You see, although he shouted loudly just now, those two family members have not beaten forty sticks at most. This is the skill of adjudicating the case, and it is not violated. Moreover, I always felt as if Luo Fan was waiting for something. He's so clever that he won't do anything stupid. ”

Zhao Xue smiled: "It's still the eldest brother who can see through it." Also, what we can think of, this kid must have thought of too. ”

Soon, all the family members pleaded guilty and signed the book.

At this time, Tao Zhili finally sobered up a little, swollen cheeks, and struggled to get up. looked at the powerful and powerful Luo Fan in the hall, his eyes were full of anger, but he didn't dare to be any more people. He could only open his mouth full of leaky air with great difficulty, pointed at Luo Fan and hated: "You are ruthless enough!" When my grandfather comes, I will make you pay back a hundredfold. When the time comes, I'm going to knock out all your teeth, too! ”

Luo Fan smiled: "Well, there is ambition." Okay, this official gives you a chance. I'll just sit here and wait for a while. When your grandfather comes, I'll see if he has what it takes to save people from me. ”

The crowd was amazed. He actually had to wait for Yipin Tianqing to come, which was too presumptuous. Could it be that with his small four-grade sesame official, he dares to fight with a first-grade master! Is this guy really confident, or is he bluffing? Everyone couldn't figure it out, and they were all waiting to see a good show.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Tao Feng, the secretary of foreign affairs, to lead his eldest son Tao Yi, his youngest son Tao Xiang, and his grandsons Tao Qianji, Tao Baiwen and others, with three hundred ironclad guards, to rush over.

This Tao Feng is also nearly seventy years old, with a gray beard, a black dragon robe, and a gold medal for divine capture on his waist. The momentum came quickly, and he was a high-ranking and powerful man. When the people saw that the yamen had come to the army, they dodged out of the way.

Tao Feng walked to the front of the hall, didn't look at the hall, raised his head, and shouted arrogantly: "Whoever dares to touch my grandson, I will let his whole family pay for his life." ”

This one shouted. The fast catchers in the hall all trembled their legs, and they didn't fall down with sticks. Tao Zhili was ecstatic, his savior finally came.

Luo Fan's face was blank, and he shouted back: "Who is presumptuous in front of the hall!" This official tried the case and was appointed by the laws of the Tiandu Dynasty. Dare to speak wildly, afraid that you will have a life, and you will leave without a life! ”

Tao Feng immediately became angry. When he arrived, the other party not only did not come down to greet him, but instead threatened him.

As soon as his beard exploded, he walked up to the hall and pointed at Luo Fan and drank: "The little four-rank arrester is so presumptuous." The old man is a dignified Tianqing god catch, and there are 20,000 guards under his seat. How dare you speak to me like that. Believe it or not, the old man stepped on your entire yamen with one sentence! ”

Luo Fan patted the wood and drank coldly: "You are not the only one who wants to come to level my yamen today, they are all lying on the street now." Since you are a god of Tianqing, you should know the law, how dare you speak wildly. Don't say that you have 20,000 guards, even if you dare to violate the law today, I will not spare you! ”
