I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 475 Argument
Although Wang Butou and the other arresters all had broken legs, County Magistrate Zhu showed no mercy to them, and still made them kneel on the ground to hear the trial, "Bring the prisoner Mrs. Zhou to the court."

"Yes." Catcher Miao quickly took the order and left.

Although the other abductees escaped under the noses of Wang Butou and the others, Sister Hong was seriously injured. It is estimated that the bullock cart could not hold so many people at that time, so she was left in the hospital.

After a while, because both legs were broken, Sister Hong was still unable to kneel down even though the doctor in the hospital had spliced ​​the bones. Detective Miao and another servant could only let her sit on the ground to answer, but even so, she was still unable to kneel down. His face was pale with pain and covered with cold sweat.

"Who is in the hall, please report your name!" County magistrate Zhu snapped, he never showed mercy to Wang Butou and others, let alone the real prisoner Zhou.

County magistrate Zhu's face was majestic, and the gavel slapped, and the arresters in the courtroom also pounded the court staff with a thud.

From the moment she was arrested, Sister Hong knew that something had been exposed. Sitting on the cold ground at this moment, Sister Hong looked at the majestic and upright Magistrate Zhu, pursing her lips silently, showing no trace of fear on her face.

"Presumptuous!" Magistrate Zhu yelled angrily. He thought this was a woman, even if she had committed many crimes, if she confessed, she would be exempted from punishment.

County magistrate Zhu never thought that the Zhou family would be taken to the court, but he was still stubborn, "Come here, drag the prisoner down and beat him twenty times!"

The order slip was thrown on the ground, and the four yamen servants stepped forward without any hesitation, and dragged Sister-in-law Hong to the door of the court like a dead dog, pinned him down on the ground, and then raised his staff and beat him down heavily.

Zhan Feiyu just looked at Sister-in-law Hong who was on the board. The bones of her two legs were only connected. The doctor used cloth strips to help the wooden boards to be fixed, but as one board after another fell, the bones shifted again. , Sister Hong, who had been provocatively and sneering, hissed in pain.

The effort of blinking an eye is ten boards, and she can persist until now without begging for mercy, and Sister Hong is also considered tough.

Magistrate Zhu looked indifferent. Since he trusted Cheng Xianwei, he naturally knew that Cheng Xianwei was a cruel official, who enforced the law harshly and even ruthlessly. Not to mention Zhou's most hated kidnapper, even an ordinary prisoner dared to despise him in court. If the imperial court orders officials, magistrate Zhu will not be merciful.

But what surprised Zhu County Magistrate and Wei County Cheng was that Zhan Feiyu was watching. Seeing that Sister Hong's buttocks and waist were bleeding, she couldn't bear the pain anymore, but Zhan Feiyu Yu was still indifferent, his expression was so calm that he didn't look like a little girl.

Cheng Xianwei stood in the corner without saying a word, no one knew what he was thinking.

After half an hour.

"Return to your lord, the twenty boards have been beaten." The yamen servant cupped his hands and reported to the county magistrate Zhu who was sitting upright. After the twenty boards were beaten down, no matter how hard Sister Hong's mouth was, she would have to open her mouth at this time, unless she was really not afraid of being beaten alive. die.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm asking you again, who is your accomplice, and you haven't recruited it!" He asked sharply, and the county magistrate Zhu didn't care about the dereliction of duty by Wang Butou and the others, but there were kidnappers in the jurisdiction of Liu County, and the county magistrate Zhu No matter what, these criminals must be wiped out, otherwise who would dare to take their children to the streets if the news spread?Who would dare to drag their families to Liu County to do business?

Perhaps after eating a meal, Sister Hong would lie on the ground, her face covered in cold sweat from the pain, and she didn't speak for a long time. This time, it wasn't that her mouth was stiff, but the pain was so severe that she didn't have the strength to speak.

County Magistrate Zhu waited for a while, and Sister Hong finally recovered.

Putting her hands on the ground, Sister Hong raised her head to look at the magistrate Zhu under the plaque hanging high in the mirror, and said with a wry smile: "I'm just a woman, I can do whatever they tell me to do, the last disobedient woman has already It became a pile of bones, and the corpse was already eaten clean by wild dogs."

"Mr. Zhou, tell the truth about the crimes committed by your group, otherwise don't blame me for execution again!" County magistrate Zhu said harshly, but it was obvious that he believed it.

During the Daqing Dynasty, women were not allowed to study, but most of the time, the husband was the leader of the women, and women were rarely able to be the masters of the house, especially the kidnappers like Lao Wu.

"Go back to your lord." Sister Hong turned her head and glanced at Zhan Feiyu next to her, licked the blood from the corner of her mouth, her gloomy eyes fell on Zhan Feiyu like a poisonous snake.

Sister Hong continued: "Yesterday evening, Lao Wu and I saw many children in the alley, and we were thinking of abducting one of them with candy, but there are residential houses at the end of the alley, and those six or seven children were playing together, so we wanted to take them away alone." It's not easy to walk one."

The law and order in Liu County is very good, and there are no ruffians on the streets, but during the Lantern Festival last year, Cheng Xianwei led people to arrest a group of kidnappers, so the elders of every household told the children playing in the alleys to stay safe. Never go with someone you don't know. If you encounter a kidnapper, you must yell.

"Originally, my old Wu and I planned to give up, but I just saw this little girl. She looks like she has been raised delicately. She will definitely sell it at a high price." Sister Hong smiled viciously, as if she was looking forward to it. Zhan Feiyu was sold to a brothel.

"Seeing that the girl was alone, Lao Wu stuck a little girl's bamboo dragonfly in the crack of the wall, and gave the little girl two candies to trick her over."

Zhan Feiyu looked like a educated girl with good family education and good manners. She would not refuse a little sister's request, so she would go to the alley to help remove bamboo dragonflies.

Hearing this, County Magistrate Zhu took a scrutiny at Zhan Feiyu. Zhou screamed in pain when she was hit by the board. Zhan Feiyu never showed any sympathy or intolerance on her face. She was so kind to help a little boy she didn't know. Girl, I don't care about the low status of the other party.

"Don't do evil because it is small, and don't do good because it is small." Zhan Feiyu looked at the pale sister-in-law coldly, and continued word by word: "Evil is not enough to destroy the body, so you deserve it! "

Seeming to know her end, Sister Hong sneered, "So what if I cut off my head? Do you think you can escape? Little girl, I, Zhou Hong, are waiting for you on Huangquan Road!"

Is this dying without repentance?

Zhan Feiyu followed suit with a smile, with crooked eyebrows and eyes like a little girl who doesn't know much about the world, and said crisply: "Well, I'll wait in Liu County, and I want to see how your accomplices with broken legs can find them." I will take revenge!"

After saying this, Zhan Feiyu raised his eyebrows and glanced at the ugly-looking Magistrate Zhu. These kidnappers beat the magistrate in the face so arrogantly, but they didn't pay attention to the Yamen.

"I don't know how to repent when I'm about to die!" County magistrate Zhu was really angry. He thought that twenty boards would be too much for Mrs. Zhou, but she was so arrogant that she dared to threaten Zhan Feiyu in the lobby, "Come here!"

Zhu county magistrate was indeed harsh in his usage, and a warrant slip was thrown away again.

After the [-]th board was beaten down, there was already a small puddle of blood on the ground. Sister Hong didn't even have the strength to speak, and she was lying on the ground. If it wasn't for the severe pain, her body would twitch from time to time, looking at her bloody Hip thought it was a corpse.

Forty boards successively, Sister Hong died half of her life, County Magistrate Zhu didn't intend to ask her to confess anything, but he asked, and Sister Hong nodded or shook her head.

Just like Wang Tutou's confession before, Sister Hong's confession was just right.

She also saw that Wang Tutou drank too much, and Sister Hong also knew that Wang Tutou's nephew was almost abducted by kidnappers during the Lantern Festival last year, so she prescribed the right medicine and cried to Wang Tutou, saying that her daughter Er Niu was taken away by a kidnapper, and now she is staying at the Changxing Inn, but the couple was mistakenly taken by Miao Butou as a pedophile and taken into prison.

Wang Butou was a little confused because of drinking, and coupled with Sister Hong's crying, thinking of his nephew who was almost abducted last year, he became emotional all of a sudden, and released Sister Hong and Lao Wu without asking for evidence.

Afterwards, when the drunkenness subsided a little, Wang Butou took people to the inn to arrest the two so-called kidnappers, He Sheng and He Nuan.

"Put the prisoner Mrs. Zhou in prison..." All the questions that should be asked have been clarified, and Sister Hong has already signed and pledged. After County Magistrate Zhu ordered her to be dragged down, he looked at Wang Zhao who was still kneeling on the ground again. First-class person, "As an official servant, he made a mistake with drinking, and was fooled by the prisoner and almost made a big mistake. Come here, drag Wang Tai and the others down and give them a hard hit!"

"This subordinate is guilty." Catcher Wang didn't dare to complain, and so did the other cops, but they all had serious expressions.

Originally, a broken leg would have to be recuperated at home for a hundred days, but now with an additional [-] boards, even if it was a colleague of the yamen who did the work, but seeing the stern and selfless appearance of County Magistrate Zhu, which arrester would dare to release the water?

So if these [-] boards are beaten down, Wang Butou and the others will lose half of their lives if they don't die.

Zhan Feiyu was still watching, with a calm expression from the beginning to the end. It was not until the last board was played that Zhan Feiyu said, "Thank you, my lord, for upholding the law."

"Zhan Feiyu." County magistrate Zhu picked up the certificate of Huang's family and shook it, "Don't forget that you are a murder suspect. If you don't want to suffer, you can tell me the truth immediately!"
