Chapter 132: This Prison Is Too Worth Sitting On
"What Wang Dutou said is extremely true!"
The magistrate nodded and praised, he squinted at Ximen Qing, who was lying on the ground, and said, "Ximen Qing, are you convinced or not by this punishment?"
"Small.... The villain is convinced!"
Although Ximen Qing is a practitioner, he is usually pampered, when he suffered such suffering, it hurt him to death, he wanted to leave the hall quickly at this moment, and found a high imperial doctor to apply medicine.
"Since you have no objection, according to the law, these two thousand taels of silver must be handed over immediately!"
"Xianggong, according to the law, there is a rich debt prison, Wu Da is how he falsely imprisoned Ximen Qing, the so-called Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, he and Wu Da are equal, and they can also enjoy this preferential treatment!"
Wang Erniu is revenge and revenge, he continued: "But Lord Yin is in a hurry to bring this case to Dongping Mansion, it seems that the money and debts are not feasible, so it is okay to replace it with a torture battle, one or two silver and a stick, it should be appropriate!"
"My lord, the villain has silver!" Fifty sticks have already beaten Ximenqing to death, not to mention two thousand sticks, he immediately shouted: "Please wait a while, the villain will let Laifu go back and get the silver!"
When the county outside the government heard it, he immediately flew back to the house to get the silver, and the county saw it, and was happy in his heart: "It seems that there is an account again!", everyone is secretly happy to catch the fast in the hall, generally this kind of silver, according to the rules, the county accounts for a large share, and the rest is distributed by them.
"Ximenqing, you are a celebrity in this county, and you are about to be imprisoned because of your crooked thoughts, sad, lamentable, you are a beautiful woman, but you are a thief, you make this official very sad, how to write this verdict!"
Zhixian shook his head and said that he didn't know how to write, but he was writing hard in his hand, writing fast, and the content was nothing more than that, after listening to the teachings of Lord Yin, he knew that the people of the world today are not ancient, so he carefully interrogated the case of Wuda under the guidance of adults, and sure enough, he found that Ximenqing fabricated his biological mother (actually died five years ago) to congratulate him on his birthday and framed Wuda.
The current verdict is as follows, Ximen Qing will be beaten with a cane of fifty, and a quick escort will be sent to Dongping Mansion, and it is recommended that Fu Yin be beaten with a cane of one hundred according to the law, fined a number of fines, and parade on the street for three days.
He wrote this judgment very powerfully, it seems that the credit is attributed to the Fu Yin, but in fact, the Fu Yin does not dare to show favoritism, and he also learned the trick of the Fu Yin to send Zheng Tao to monitor.
Laifu brought two thousand taels of silver, which was counted by Wang Erniu, and the magistrate immediately made a judgment: "Ximenqing, your matter has alarmed Fu Yin, and it is not that this official can try it, due to the urging of Lord Fu Yin, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu will escort you to Dongping Mansion today!"
He paused, and then said: "Zhang Long Zhao Hu, Lord Yin is in a hurry to deal with it, it is a two-day journey to Dongping Mansion, this official ordered, you hurry up, it is best to arrive within one day, there must be no mistakes!"
"Xianggong, the villain will definitely arrive within one day! I am willing to make a guarantee!" Zhang Long and Zhao Hu are also veterans in the county government, how can anyone who does not know the meaning of Xianggong immediately agreed loudly.
When Ximenqing heard this, he cried out in his heart: "I can't walk with my feet now, you still want me to arrive within a day, don't talk about Dongping Mansion now, even if I get out of the county office, it will be difficult." ”
"Xianggong, the villain can't walk with a foot injury, please be gracious and give a few days of grace!"
"It was supposed to be possible, but you see, Zheng Tao has been urging here for a few days, and it is difficult for the official to explain!"
Zheng Tao didn't know that Ximen Qing was in touch with Fu Yin, he was a fine person, and naturally he knew that his urging in the past two days had angered the magistrate, and the magistrate was now trying to embarrass him, and there was no way to solve this dilemma, he stood up and said:
"Xianggong, Lord Yin of the Mansion wants to deal with this matter well, and he has to interrogate him carefully when he arrives at Dongping Mansion, but at the moment, Ximenqing is seriously injured, and he is afraid that rushing overnight will take his life, and it is difficult to make a difference. ”
"Well, Zheng Tao, do you have a basis for saying this? Yanggu County does not have this law, I don't know if there is one in Dongping Mansion?"
"This, probably there is!" Zheng Tao said without two paragraphs, he knew the mind of the county, and said with his strengths and avoidance: "Xianggong, in fact, many punishments at the moment can also be punished with money, it is better to fine Ximen Qing another 1,000 taels of silver, and give him three days." ”
"Is that so......" The magistrate pretended to hesitate and said to Wang Erniu: "Wang Dutou, does Yanggu County have this law?"
"It stands to reason that no, if it is Lord Fu Yin's intention, he is a Shangguan, it is okay!" Wang Erniu is very shrewd, how can he put the responsibility on Fu Yin.
Zheng Tao said helplessly: "That villain agrees here, and when he arrives at Dongping Mansion, ask Lord Yin to send a reply to the minister." ”
"Well, that's fine, Ximenqing, are you willing?"
"The villain is willing!"
Laifu ran back and took a thousand taels of silver, Wang Erniu accepted it as usual, Ximenqing was miserable, suffered fifty sticks, and lost three thousand taels of silver, but there was nothing to be done.
The magistrate ordered Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to escort Ximenqing to the cell, after all, he is also a rich man in Yanggu County, and when he enters the cell, he naturally has his family to take care of him, and the two will not arrange him in the cell of many people, so it is a kind of irony to simply take him to Wu Dalang's cell.
Wu Dalang took a steamed bun and gnawed it slowly, and when he saw Ximenqing being escorted in very embarrassed, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Ximenqing, what crime did you commit to come in, could it be that your old mother accused you of disobedience?"
Ximenqing didn't speak, Zhang Long smiled and said: "Da Lang, his mother died five years ago, this person invited a lady to pretend to be his mother and slander you, now the truth has been revealed, you can go out." ”
"Ximenqing, I don't know much about words, and I also know how to lick calves, how can this parent recognize it, even if it is a puppy, he will only recognize a female dog......."
Wu Dalang chattered endlessly, he was sincere, but in Ximenqing's ears, it was really more painful than beating those fifty sticks, and he hated in his heart: "I can't imagine that your three-inch nail grain bark is so bad." ”
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were not in a hurry to take Wu Dalang out, one of them grabbed one of Ximenqing's hands, and let Wu Dalang preach there, only to see Wu Dalang say a round, slowly walked to the corner of the wall, and said: "Ximenqing, I have laid a few layers of straw here, it is very comfortable, give it to you now, I am still a little reluctant to give it myself, and also, here is half a leftover steamed bun, give it to you, by the way, the straw in the corner of the wall, you don't want to go over, it is where I urinate." ”
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu listened, but helped him to the place where Wu Dalang urinated, threw him down indiscriminately, and took Wu Dalang out.
"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhao, can I go home?"
"Not yet!"
Wu Dalang's face was so frightened that he trembled: "Didn't you say that the truth has been revealed?"
Zhang Long said with a smile: "The truth is revealed, the minister said that you were wronged, and you sat in the cell for four days, let Ximenqing compensate you one hundred taels of silver a day, and now you have to go to the account room to sign and withdraw the silver!"
"One hundred taels a day!" Wu Dayuan glared, and suddenly sighed: "This prison is too worth sitting in, why don't you sit for a few more days?"
