Chapter 59: The Gray Zone
"You jailers, what a majesty! Even court officials have to cut it?
Do you know that there is a criminal department secretary standing here, and a criminal department is in the middle of the matter?! ”
Fang Xiaoru shouted coldly.
Scarface scratched his head in confusion,
"What book? What's in it? ”
Tyrant Zhao usually comes to the prison to drink and chat, and he doesn't talk about his official position, these jailers only know that Tyrant Zhao is a criminal department official, how big an official he is, then I don't know,
They don't even know the servants of the Criminal Department, how can they know what the Criminal Department is doing?
To put it more realistically, now any seven-grade official of the Criminal Department is better than these few people present.
After all, the seventh and eighth rank officials of the Criminal Department, who are the top bosses of the jailers, are in charge of them.
And the leaders who are too high, the jailers are not afraid.
Fang Xiaoru punched the cotton, and his face turned black.
Storm Zhao hurriedly explained,
"Scarface, these are the big officials of the Criminal Department, very, very big officials, what do you want to do, just listen!"
Scarface sighed and gave the jailers a look, and the jailers scattered, but they all looked at each other, they didn't stand, they didn't sit, they were completely a rabble,
Tyranny turned around again and said with a smile,
"Lord Fang, Lord Yang, these mud-legged bullshit don't understand, you can check it casually."
Yang Pu nodded, and at a glance saw an incompatible figure on the edge of the table,
"Prisoners?"
The man was wearing a prison uniform, and he looked like a prisoner, but he was being locked to the edge of the card table in a peculiar posture.
Between standing completely upright and squatting completely, he could only stand there with his body bent, and experienced people know that in this position, let alone standing for half an hour, he can't even stand it for a minute.
Jiang Zhen leaned over and explained,
"It's a hanger."
"Hangers?" Fang Xiaoru is very red, and he can't understand these black words at all.
"Yes," Jiang Zhen glanced at Scarface, "It's a kind of jailer that is often used, they don't beat or scold the prisoner, they just let him hang there in this position,
After a long time, this prisoner couldn't bear it, so he naturally recruited it. ”
“....”
Yang Pu frowned and said,
"Last year, on the Daming Law, didn't Hong Wuye abolish all corporal punishments? Why is this still the case? ”
Scarface quickly explained,
"My lord, you misunderstood, this is not corporal punishment, but let him stand here."
"This..."Yang Pu couldn't say anything for a while, mainly because it was really difficult to define whether this was corporal punishment or not.
No wonder it is said that this prison is a gray area, and they are jumping back and forth on the bottom line of the Da Ming Law.
"Untie it." Tyrant commanded.
Scarface's face was bitter, and he lowered his voice and begged,
"My lord, this can't be solved! Look he's going to recruit soon!
Isn't this unraveling a wasted effort? How can I deal with it? ”
Tyrant Zhao frowned, looked at the prisoner,
Even if Scarface lowered his voice, he was still heard by the prisoner.
This prisoner is very good, his eyes rolled, he was going to be recruited, but at this glance, it seems that he can still stand up!
Scarface turned around, and when he saw the prisoner's face, he instantly knew what he was thinking, pulled the scabbard from between his belt, slammed it on the card table, and roared fiercely,
"You don't have a mind, you know?! If you don't say it, Lao Tzu will hang you here! ”
The prisoner's neck shrunk, and he looked at Fang Xiaoru and Yang Pu pitifully.
Tyranny said helplessly,
"Look, my lord..."
Fang Xiaoru knew that he was not an expert, so he looked at Jiang Zhen and asked for advice.
"Master Jiang, do you think this is really guilty, or is it a forced confession?"
Jiang Zhen shook his head,
"I can't see it, it's hard to judge even if I hold the case file, but according to my experience, it's okay to give him a punishment, this kid is definitely not clean."
Jiang Zhen didn't deliberately lower his voice, and his voice clearly reached everyone's ears.
When Scarface heard this, he was so excited that he cried and gave a thumbs up,
"Master, you are really an expert!"
Jiang Zhen is definitely a classical, and the style of Jinyiwei is more classical, hold you, don't even ask you anything in the future, first go to a set of big health care,
At this time, even if you want to recruit, you can't do it, you have to finish a set of jobs.
When Yang Pu and Fang Xiaoru heard this, they also nodded.
At this moment, the prisoner became the focus instead,
Now the paradoxical problem is that
Is it in line with the law that the criminal department lynches prisoners?
Normally, this is definitely wrong, because prisoners are also human beings, and under such coercion confessions, it is inevitable that there will be a large proportion of unjust cases.
However, the Criminal Department has to go through so many cases in one day and examine so many prisoners, and it simply does not have the manpower and energy to take every case seriously, and extorting confessions by torture is certainly the most efficient method.
With great power comes great responsibility, this sentence is not necessarily true,
However, the smaller the rank, the smaller the responsibility, this is definitely the truth pursued by the workers.
From the perspective of other jailers,
I have a few dollars of silver a month, and there is pressure on the case.
You let me not be lynched, fair and just with a humanistic spirit, handle every case well, isn't this nonsense?
This is no longer idealism, but fantasy!
"Do you see? Now believe what Lao Tzu said, as long as you don't recruit! Lao Tzu has been hanging on you, it's useless for you to beg anyone! ”
Scarface grimaced, gritting his teeth at the prisoner.
But the prisoner's eyes were much clearer, and from time to time, he pretended to look at Fang Xiaoru and Yang Pu pitifully,
The mouth that was supposed to be loosened was closed this time.
The people above may not know the bottom, but the bottom knows the official master very well.
This is how the prisoner was,
He knows that these officials love face, and they have to pretend that they have a benevolent heart.
I'm bumped into it today, as long as I pretend to be pitiful, maybe I can really pass the test!
Scarface is an old jailer who has passed down three generations, and he can see through this prisoner's thoughts at a glance,
The will made to him before was destroyed, and the progress was reset to zero,
If you don't go to lynching, the mouth of this hob meat can't be pry open at all!
But these very big leaders are watching from the side, and they can't do it themselves!
Seeing this, Jiang Zhen attached his ear to Yang Pu's side and said a few words.
This face needs Yang Pu to make a decision,
Yang Pu asked a few more questions in a low voice, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen hard, but they still didn't hear a word.
Jiang Zhen nodded.
Yang Pu's eyes flashed, he looked at Scarface and said,
"What did you do before, what do you do now, come on, I'll watch."
