Da Song a knife

Chapter 657 How to say

The executioner didn't speak, and didn't even dare to lift his head.

Yang Yuanding sneered: "It's not easy, go search his house, and then interrogate his family members. Did you take extra money home, or have you been in contact with anyone? Isn't it all clear at once?"

This time, the executioner became anxious, and knelt on the ground with a "plop": "My old lady is sick, if this is such a toss, she will die! My daughter-in-law doesn't know anything, and my youngest son is also young—I I just charged 50 taels of silver, just hitting harder—I didn’t want to kill anyone either!”

In desperation, he told the truth in his heart: "Which one of us has never done this kind of thing? Isn't this the rule?"

Cheng Lin cast a cold glance at Zhou Xiancheng.

This group of yamen servants is in charge of Zhou County Cheng.

To actually say this now, it is obvious that in normal times, he has collected a lot of money, let alone tossed people a lot!

And the other executioners were also a little embarrassed: this kind of thing is not uncommon, but how can you say it?This is said, it is broken, how will the brothers earn this money in the future?Moreover, it's usually only a few taels of silver, and it's nothing more than suffering. Your 50 taels is too much!
The most important thing is that you also inquire about the situation before collecting money!

Is this something you are offended by?
The executioner was still there pleading: "I was also infatuated for a while, and I did such a thing! My old mother is sick, and I am like this-I beg Mr. Cheng, please forgive me!"

Yang Yuanding stared at him burningly, and only asked: "Your mother's life is life, and my family's Si Jiu's life, isn't it? Who was raised by parents? Whose life is born cheap again?"

"Besides, Si Jiu is a doctor. She has saved countless people! If you really want to distinguish between high and low, it is you who underestimate her!" Yang Yuanding gritted his teeth: "50 taels! You can do such a cruel thing! Up to now, you I still think you are not wrong! You still have the face to beg for mercy!"

Yang Yuanzhang held down Yang Yuanding, and only asked Cheng Lin: "Chengfu Yin, what do you say about this matter?"

Cheng Lin looked at the executioner: "Who gave you the money to do this?"

The executioner said: "Actually, I didn't see what that person looked like. I met him on the way back from the Yamen. He was wearing a curtain and only said a few words to me. Then he gave me the money. Warn me If I don’t do anything after receiving money, my family will suffer.”

"Then, he left. I knew it was a man, about my height, thinner than me, in his 40s, so he must not be a young man."

Yang Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were as sharp as a knife: "Really? Who knows if what you said is true or not?"

Executioner: "I swear to God!"

Yang Yuanzhang smiled: "I swear that if it is useful, Tianlei will kill you long ago. I don't think it is worse than this. You all like to use torture in cases, so today—let's beat you again first. If you don't change your mind after twenty boards, we will kill you." I believe it. Of course, if you tell the truth in the middle, you can stop at any time."

He glanced at Cheng Lin, and said in a discussing tone, "Cheng Fu Yin, what do you think?"

Cheng Lin lowered her eyes, helplessly: "Twenty boards is better than death. That's it."

Everyone knew that this was the Yang family venting their anger, but he couldn't stop it.

Otherwise, Yang Sanlang, a lunatic, doesn't know what to do again.

What's more, this person made a mistake first, and should be punished according to the law.

So, the executioner was pressed on the spring stool and hit the board on the spot.

Before starting, Yang Yuanding specially reminded: "Just hit the three boards with his strength. Let him have a taste of that."

No one objected.

Even Cheng Lin acquiesced.

As soon as the board went down, the executioner couldn't bear it and screamed out.

Hearing his screams, Yang Yuanding couldn't help clenching his fists: Si Jiu, how painful it must have been!
He even wanted to rush over and fight in person!
When the three boards came down, the executioner was covered in cold sweat, his lips and face turned pale.For the next seventeen boards, he fainted once in the middle.

Zhang Zhiqing volunteered: "I'll give him an injection, he will definitely wake up!"

Qi Jing pressed Zhang Zhiqing, his face was cold: "I'll do it."

Thus, the executioner was really awakened by a single needle.

The last board was not unsatisfactory.

Anyway, in the end, all he had to say was to admit his mistake and apologize.

In the middle, Cheng Lin looked at Yang Yuanding once.

Yang Yuanding did not hesitate: "His confession and begging for mercy are all because of his pain, not because of his conscience. If he can't make it through, it's because of his own poor health. After all, Si Jiu can survive it all because of his own strength." Hold on. Chengfu Yin, when you make decisions for others, you first think about whether Si Jiu will be interceded by someone when she is beaten."

Cheng Lin immediately looked up at the ceiling.

Others looked left and right as if nothing had happened.

The man finished twenty boards, Yang Yuanzhang nodded: "It seems that the other party has indeed made sufficient preparations and concealed his identity. Now there is only one clue left."

Everyone looked at Zhou Xiancheng in unison: Isn't that right, only Zhou Xiancheng is left.

Zhou Xiancheng was stared at by so many people, thinking of the screams of the man being beaten just now, he broke out in a cold sweat, and his feet became even weaker.

He said loudly: "I am a court official—"

"That's why I even invited people from the Ministry of Punishments and the Ministry of Officials." Yang Yuanding smiled: "The Ministry of Punishment is in charge of cases, and the Ministry of Officials is in charge of you as officials. Who else do you want to come? Tell me, and I will invite you."

His smile is somewhat scary.

Everyone who saw it wanted to say: Is this really a lunatic?

But well, there is a good saying in this world.Don't provoke anyone, don't provoke a lunatic.

Because he doesn't think the same way as normal people, he is prone to accidents.

Anyway, Zhou Xiancheng's legs became softer.

Cheng Lin said at this time: "Let me ask first."

He looked at Zhou Xiancheng and said in his heart: Then it depends on how you choose.If you don't say it, the executioner is your lesson from the past.

Cheng Lin asked Zhou Xiancheng: "Why did you beat Miss Zhang?"

Zhou Xiancheng bit him to death: "I just follow the usual practice! I think she has something to do with the child's death. Moreover, she did despise the court! At first I didn't want to beat her, I just asked someone to beat the man!"

He was still very wronged: "Who knew that the executioner took the money and killed him! I was wronged too—"

Cheng Lin: ...Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
Yang Yuanding smiled, and the smile became even more terrifying: "Guess, before the executioner took bribes, did he ever worry about what if you don't beat Si Jiu?"

Zhou Xiancheng: ...

He avoided Yang Yuanding's gaze: "I was really wronged! Maybe those people guessed my style of handling the case, estimated—"
