Xuanyuan Jue

Chapter 45
Excluding the three dead criminals, Zhang Xingwu, Wang Dazhang, Li Aniu, and Lai Qing were all dragged here.Not only that, but Niu Er, the cook of Zuixianlou, and Hu Butcher, the butcher of pigs, who were imprisoned a few days ago were also brought out of prison.

"Hey!" Fu Yin's eyes widened, and he spoke sternly at the hall, "Now, the facts of the case are clear, and the crimes committed by you are obvious to all! If you plead guilty and obey the law, you will be spared a beating. If you return If you dare to resist and procrastinate, you are afraid you will be executed by the staff!"

After the punishment last night, Zhang and Lai were already afraid to the core.Anyway, sooner or later you will die, it is better to suffer less.Therefore, the four of them all confessed without waiting for the governor's scrutiny.

Seeing that the four people had pleaded guilty, Fu Yin turned to Niu and Hu for questioning.

Detained in prison for several days, Niu and Hu were already in limbo.Hearing Fu Yin's inquiry, he hastily expressed that he would never retract his confession.

At this moment, the knife and pen official has recorded the whole case in detail.Upon seeing this, the governor ordered the criminals to sign and pledge.

After several people finished drawing and adjourned, Fu Yin read it for a while, and then slapped the gavel: "All criminals will be judged!"

Hearing this sentence, the entire courtroom fell silent.Everyone closed their ears, waiting for Fu Yin to judge.

"Zhang Xingwu, Wang Dazhang, Li Aniu, Lai Qing," the Fu Yin shouted, "you and other cult thugs murdered and conspired against each other. They are horrific! If you don't punish them for committing such a heinous crime, it will be intolerable for them to be punished. They are big treacherous people, Don’t wait for the time, they will all be sentenced to beheaded! Wait for the approval from the Ministry of Punishments, and immediately take them to Caishikou, set up the shackles to show the public, and ask for beheading!”

Fu Yin went on to say: "Niu Er and Hu Tuhu are sentenced! Although the two of you are unintentional, the harm is true. In order to protect yourself afterwards, you tried to cover up your mistakes. If it wasn't for Feng Jingli's insight, such a major case would have been almost covered. You have been hiding it! Such unhealthy trends and evil spirits cannot be tolerated. Now you two will be sent to Ninggu Pagoda with one hundred sticks, except for your name and registration, and be slaves to the armored men. The servants will serve for life, and they will not be pardoned!"

"My lord," upon hearing this, Zha Wuzuo stepped forward to remind again, "What about those three dead villains...?"

"The three criminals, Wang Jianglong, Liu Guanghai, and Tong Xiaochuan, were punished and died before the criminal trial," Fu Yin continued, "However, such a heinous crime deserves more than death! After the first four criminals are brought to justice, they will abandon the market together for three days. These seven crimes are extremely heinous, and they are not allowed to be buried in the ground after death. The corpses are incinerated into ashes and discarded in the barren! As for the remnants of the heavenly law and plotting against the plot, the government has met with the emperor, and the Chen Zou is detailed, and the imperial court is requested to allocate troops and horses to wipe out the rebels and rebels. Thieves! The yamen paid for the pigs and monkeys that died in vain, prepared a few thin coffins, and buried them in a funeral tomb. This life has suffered a catastrophe, and I hope it will be entrusted to a good family in the next life!"

Hearing that all the criminals involved in the case had been sentenced to severe punishment, the rest of the people applauded and applauded.

Afterwards, Fu Yin drew up a pen, drafted the documents himself, stamped the silver seal of Shuntian Mansion, gathered them together with the confessions and files, sealed them with wax paint, and sent them to the Ministry of Punishment for review.

As soon as the case came out, the ruling and opposition parties were furious.After receiving the judgment from Shuntian Mansion, the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice did not dare to be negligent, and reviewed the cases one by one according to the case files, and made detailed reports day and night.

Within a few days, the approval document from the Ministry of Criminal Justice came back.Fu Yin opened the file and read it. On the file, the four characters "severely punish without lending" were personally approved by Zhu Bi in the main hall of the Ministry of Punishment.Due to the rebellion involving the Tianli religion, the imperial court also issued an imperial edict: there are divisions at all levels, in the capital, provinces, roads, prefectures, and counties, to educate and educate the under-ruled Lishu and serious rebellious party thugs.All religious bandits who vainly attempt to disobey and do evil will not be tolerated once they are verified.

As soon as the approval was issued, Shuntian Mansion began to "stand in cages".More than a dozen craftsmen hurriedly rushed, and it took a whole day and night to finish the four "station cages".

While Shuntian Mansion was making intensive preparations, it sent yamen servants to post notices across the city.Clarify the crimes of several murderers, and set a date for parade in the streets to execute.

As soon as the news came out, Sijiu City seemed to be on fire.Such a shocking case is unheard of on weekdays.The common people spread the word to ten, ten to hundreds, and the bloody case of "making animals in wrappers" was widely circulated.

Due to the previous sentence, the four living criminals were ordered to parade through the streets for two days before beheading.As a result, all the yamen servants "tongue-sealed" Zhang Xingwu, Lai Qing and others overnight.To put it bluntly, this "tongue seal" is a bundle of tendon strings.Several small wooden sticks are wrapped around the thin rope.When using it, pry open the prisoner's lips and teeth, and directly tie the thin tendon hoop at the base of the tongue.After being stabilized, the few small wooden sticks were propped between the prisoner's upper and lower jaws so that the mouth could not be closed.First, to prevent criminals from screaming in public; second, to prevent criminals from biting their tongues and committing suicide if they cannot stand the shackles.

Early the next morning, the four criminals were raised, detained for a while, and then rushed straight into the "station cage".And the bodies of the three dead criminals were also bound firmly.All the yamen servants took lime and smeared the heads and faces of the three corpses respectively, and they were also transported into carts.

After tidying up, Lu Bantou took a group of horses to inspect the slaves, escorted the dead and alive criminals, and swam from the Shuntian government office to the neighborhood market.

In front of the team, a police officer with a loud voice was selected, shouting and beating gongs to clear the way.

Hearing the sound of the gong, the common people knew that it was the murderer who had come to show the public. They stopped their work one after another, closed their doors and closed their doors, and the streets were empty.After a while, people came to watch from all directions, blocking the crossing of the parade street.

Seeing too many people coming, blocking the way.Lu Bantou hastily ordered the yamen servants to guard the sides tightly.All the yamen servants held their spears and blocked them forcefully, but they were still thrown upside down by the crowd.
