late Qing Dynasty arrest

Bao Yitong sneered and said, "Defendant Chen Zhonghe, you don't admit to being unfilial, do you? It doesn't matter that there are witnesses here, bring the plaintiff Chen Yaxue out."

Bao Yitong asked the plaintiff Chen Yaxue to tell about the defendant's various unfilial actions towards his mother, Chen Luoshi. They were all seen, some of which were witnessed by him, some villagers could testify, and Chen Luoshi's maids and servants could also testify.

Chen Yaxue's speech is well-organized, well-organized, and cadenced, not much worse than the litigator Song Shixiong.Everyone nodded approvingly when they heard it, even Bao Yi nodded while stroking his beard, only the defendant Chen Zhonghe knelt on the ground and remained silent, grasping the bluestone floor tiles with both hands, suppressing the anger in his heart.

Li Guolou likes to watch people's movements to guess people's hearts. When he saw this scene, it suddenly became clear to him that Chen Yaxue, a strong and mature man, has a decent appearance, isn't he just another Xu Xiaohu?Chen Yaxue and Chen Luoshi secretly had an affair, and they already disliked the young Chen Zhonghe as a burden, and Chen Zhonghe was about to reach the age of inheriting the family property.If Chen Luoshi remarried the housekeeper Chen Yaxue (equivalent to a servant), the family's money would not be able to bring much, and his son Chen Zhonghe would have to take it, so how could they agree.So Chen Yaxue and Chen Luo's bought the village official Chen Yajun and the patriarch Chen Buli, and wanted to expel Chen Zhonghe from Chenzhuang.For the sake of money, a pair of dogs and men want to put Chen Zhonghe in an unfilial, unrighteous and disloyal position, which is similar to Xu Xiaohu and Wang Yixue in the Wei Mansion murder case.

Li Guolou looked up at Bao Tong who was sitting on the case. Bao Qingtian, who was extremely smart and principled, had already seen through the hidden secrets of this case. What exactly was Bao Qingtian going to do?Li Guolou couldn't guess what the adults did.

Bao Yi patted the gavel together and shouted angrily, "Defendant Chen Zhonghe, what else do you have to say!"

Everyone in the courtroom was stunned, Bao Qingtian was about to hit the board when he was angry, this time the defendant Chen Zhonghe was doomed.

Chen Zhonghe knelt on the ground and couldn't answer a word. He was originally a young man with a weird temper who refused to listen to adults, but now he committed a crime.

Bao Yitong sneered three times and said, "The defendant Chen Zhonghe contemptuously condemned the court and punished the [-]th board! Litigate Song, do you have any objections?"

Song Shixiong lifted his glasses and said with a smile: "I have no objection, my lord is wise." He was already as stable as Mount Tai, and he expected that the sky and the ground of this case had been set up, and the people's money was collected to eliminate the disaster, and Wu Defu in the yamen had already collected the money. There will be no future troubles.

Bao Tong glared at the defendant Chen Zhonghe angrily, picked up the fire stick in the bamboo tube on the case table, threw it viciously on the ground, and said, "Give me twenty big punishments!"

"What!" A savage-faced yamen servant picked up a fire stick on the ground and glared at Chen Zhonghe full of desire. The opportunity to spank someone's ass does not come every day, but it is a rare opportunity to make money, but he meets a master who has no money. Wouldn't it be good to slaughter the stinky boy, so as to spread the evil spirit to the people.

The two yamen servants who held up Chen Zhonghe's arms first looked at Wu Defu to see what secret words the speaker had, if there were no secret words, it was a real fight!Show no mercy.

When Chen Zhonghe saw that he was really going to beat him, he yelled anxiously, "Mom, mom, help me!" Chen Zhonghe was dragged to the torture place, and he didn't stop yelling for a moment.

Chen Luoshi was the same as before, still wiping her eyes with tears, and she never spoke from the beginning to the end.

The punishment is to take off the pants, which is the same for both men and women, so what will happen if the punishment is given to a woman?The feudal society did not treat women as human beings, and came up with many criminal laws to deal with women. Few women could stand the punishment, and the blood was stained in the court. There is only imperial power here, and there is no sex at all. (It’s a fake to hit the board without taking off your pants. This is the real scene. In order to prevent the tortured person from cheating, they put something on their buttocks.) The execution place is in front of the watching crowd. People with long necks are addicted to it. Come once worth it.Chen Zhonghe's hands and feet were bound by torture tools, and he couldn't move. Two government officials picked up the board and began to beat him.The buttocks were beaten down by the board, and there were blood marks in a few strokes, and there was a government servant beside him reporting, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ninety."

When Chen Zhonghe was beaten, he screamed in a miserable voice, like a pig being killed, which attracted bursts of laughter from the crowd.This is a perverted way of making fun. People pay money to enter the lobby just to see this kind of punishment. If a woman is beaten, they will scream even harder.

After hitting ten boards, Bao shouted together: "Wait a minute!"

The two yamen servants who beat the board immediately stopped the execution. They have long been trained to obey orders. There are often times when the execution is stopped. The mood of the adults changes every day, and they can get new rewards at any time.

"I suddenly remembered that you, the plaintiff, Chen Yaxue, are the servant of the defendant Chen Zhonghe's family. How could you make the little master suffer, but you laughed at the truth. It is the job of a servant to share the master's worries. Song Litiger, you said that I am right. Is it reasonable?" Bao Yiyi seemed to have just figured out the reason, and sent Song Shixiong to the army.

Song Shixiong looked at Wu Defu next to him, and said anxiously: "Master Bao, Chen Yaxue is already the manager of the Chen family, not an ordinary servant."

Bao Yitong said angrily: "Song Lianshi, are you saying that housekeepers are not slaves? Do you disagree with what I said, so do you still want to revise the laws of the Qing Dynasty?"

Song Shixiong's expression changed suddenly in anxiety, and he looked at Wu Defu, wondering what the officer was worried about?In the courtroom, a litigator can't talk nonsense. If he says inappropriate words, violates the laws of the Qing Dynasty, is caught by the chief, dismisses his fame on the spot, and deprives him of his status as a scholar, then he can't be a litigator. .

Song Shixiong bowed his head and said, "I don't dare, Mr. Bao is right, and the manager is also a servant."

Bao Yi watched the expression on Song Shixiong's face, as if he wanted to catch something?Regardless of the plaintiff Chen Yaxue's argument, Bao Yi threw out the fire stick and said angrily, "Hit me hard!"

It was lively now, and the crowd began to roar with laughter, watching two people take off their pants and hit the board at one time. "Crackling!" The sound continued, and ten solid boards hit Chen Yaxue's buttocks.

The slapping yamen servants didn't dare to disobey the chief's wishes, Master Bao said, "Beat hard!" The two yamen servants used their housekeeping skills and beat ten slaps, Chen Yaxue's buttocks had blossomed, and blood was dripping out.Chen Yaxue wanted to save face and endured the pain, but only hummed a few times, which was not as miserable as Chen Zhonghe's screams.

Chen Zhonghe, who was lying on the torture equipment beside him, gloated and turned his head to look at Chen Yaxue. There was a smile on his crying face, and his expression could be as weird as possible.

Everyone in the courtroom had different expressions, and some people had already started to tremble, knowing that the official's display of power was not over yet, and they had no good fruit to eat.

Bao Yi picked up a fire stick in his hand, this action made people tremble, wondering who would be the next to be unlucky?

"Chen Zhonghe, the rebellious son, committed a serious crime of unfilial piety at such a young age. You have to escape the death penalty, but the living crime is inevitable. I will punish you first, and then give you fifty blows!"

Chen Zhonghe was so frightened that he almost fainted. If he hit another [-] boards, he couldn't bear it. Didn't he kill him?He yelled: "Master Bao, please forgive me, the villain knows he was wrong, so he won't dare again;;;;;;"

Bao Tong said angrily: "The defendant Chen Zhonghe, what are you yelling at? Give me ten slaps first."

Chen Zhonghe was picked up by the big yamen servant, and hit his mouth with a bamboo ruler, "slap, slap;;;;;", about ten times, now Chen Zhonghe couldn't even speak clearly, and his mouth was full of blood. Fortunately, the execution yamen servant Even if he didn't use any dirty tricks, Chen Zhonghe's teeth were not knocked out.

Bao Yi was full of anger in his heart. He opened the trial today to punish these criminals. He had already planned the next move. The criminals were waiting for his sentence. He wanted to give the criminals a fatal blow.

Bao Yitong was furious, and shouted: "The defendant Chen Zhonghe's court will not allow you to roar. My judgment is based on evidence and according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty. Do you have any objections, Litigation Master Song?"

Litigation lawyer Song Shixiong couldn't figure out who Bao Yitong was going to help?Glancing at Wu Defu, he didn't get an answer either.He could only open his mouth and say: "I have no objection, Mr. Bao is wise."

All eyes in the courtroom are focused on Mr. Bao, he is the star of Wenqu, and the grievances and hatreds in the world are waiting for him to judge.

"If I hadn't finished talking just now, since the defendant Chen Yaxue is willing to stand up for the mistress and sue the defendant Chen Zhonghe for his crime of unfilial piety, he should also share the worries of the little master and do his duty as a servant. You will bear the fifty big boards. Here I'll fight!" After speaking, Bao Yi threw the torch in his hand far away, venting all his anger on the torch.

The crowd started clamoring and discussing, and the causal relationship can be seen from Chen Luoshi's fainting movements.

The two executioners looked at Wu Defu again, but they saw Wu Defu stroking his chin, as if it had nothing to do with him.The code word is to beat the criminal to death, if you can't kill the criminal, don't be a government servant.

The spanking movements of the two executioners slowed down this time, and the sound of the spanking on the buttocks was not as loud as before, and there were dull sounds every time.They use Yin energy, this force hits people on the buttocks, even if the steel and iron bones can't stand it, people will recover slowly if they don't die, and people don't even want to get out of bed within a hundred days.The work of laying the board is all ancestral, and the ancestors of many yamen servants and fast catchers are the descendants of Jinyiwei of Dongchang in Ming Dynasty.In this era, it is practiced that the father dies and the son replaces, and the job type does not recruit new people. Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the sons of mice can make holes. Many people’s ancestors have done this job for generations, and some people can do skinning alive.

At first, Chen Yaxue was still yelling, but after twenty blows, there was no sound, and he had passed out long ago.There was only the sound of "cracking!" above the court, and the crowd became active again and began to cheer loudly, all shouting, "Bao Qingtian is wise!"

Bao Yiyi has turned his attention to the patriarch Chen Buli and the villager Chen Yajun. How could they go unpunished for what they did? A pair of sharp arrow-like eyes rest on whoever they are, whoever can't bear it, and can't bear it. , Shouting: "Master Bao is wise! The villain knows he is wrong!"

Litigation lawyer Song Shixiong was like an ant on a hot pot. He kept circling around and wanted to speak, but he didn't dare. The execution was going on in the hall, so how could he interrupt casually? Roaring in court is a crime of disrespect.He could only pin his hopes on Wu Defu and gestured, "You took the money, why don't you just take the money and not work?"

Wu Defu made a helpless gesture, looked up to the sky and sighed, as if he had no way to recover, "Master Bao showed his power, he has done his best."
