"You jailers are so majestic! You even want to behead court officials?
Did you know that there is a Minister of the Ministry of Justice and a Minister of the Ministry of Justice standing here? ! "
Fang Xiaoru shouted coldly.
Scarface scratched his head in confusion,
"What book? What book?"
Bao Zhao came to the prison on weekdays to drink, chat, and gossip, and he did not mention his official position. These jailers only knew that Bao Zhao was an official of the Ministry of Punishment. They didn't know how big an official he was.
They don't even know about the Minister of Justice, so how could they possibly know what happened to the Ministry of Justice?
To put it more truthfully, any seventh-grade official from the Ministry of Punishments would be more effective than the ones here.
After all, the seventh- and eighth-grade officers of the Ministry of Punishment are the immediate superiors of the jailers and are in charge of them.
But the jailers are not afraid of leaders who are too high.
Fang Xiaoru punched the cotton and her face turned black.
Bao Zhao quickly explained,
"Scarface, these are high-ranking officials from the Ministry of Justice, very, very high-ranking officials. Just listen to whatever they ask you to do!"
Scarface said "Oh" and gave the jailers a look, and the jailers dispersed, but they all looked like they were standing or sitting down, they were just a bunch of people.
Bao Zhao turned around again, smiled apologetically and said,
"Master Fang, Master Yang, these mud-legged idiots don't understand shit, you can check it out as you like."
Yang Pu nodded and immediately saw an out-of-place figure beside the card table.
"Prisoner?"
This man was wearing a prison uniform, and he looked like a prisoner at first glance. However, he was chained to the card table in a strange posture.
Between standing upright and squatting completely, he could only stand there with his body hunched over. Anyone with experience knew that in this position, let alone half an hour, he couldn't stand it for even one minute. ,
Jiang Wei came over and explained,
"This is a hanging rack."
"Hang a shelf?" Fang Xiaoru, who has a good foundation, doesn't understand these slang words at all.
"Yes," Jiang Wei glanced at Scarface, "it's a type often used by jailers. They don't hit or scold the prisoner, they just let him hang there in this posture.
After a long time, the prisoner couldn't bear it anymore, so he naturally resorted to it. "
"...."
Yang Pu frowned and said,
"Last year, in the Ming Dynasty Law, didn't Lord Hong Wu abolish all corporal punishments? Why is it still like this now?"
Scarface quickly explained,
"Sir, you misunderstood. This is not a corporal punishment. It just makes him stand here."
"This..." Yang Pu couldn't say anything for a moment. The main reason was that it was really difficult to define whether this was corporal punishment or not.
No wonder this prison is a gray area. They are jumping back and forth on the bottom line of the Ming Law.
"Untie it." Bao Zhao ordered.
Scar's face was filled with pain, and he lowered his voice and begged,
"Sir, this cannot be solved! Look, he is about to attack!
Isn't this solution a waste of all previous efforts? How can I communicate with the superiors? "
Bao Zhao frowned and looked at the prisoner,
Even though Scarface lowered his voice, the prisoner still heard a few words.
This prisoner is very smart. He rolled his eyes, he was about to attack, but now he looks like he can still stand up!
Scarface turned around, looked at the prisoner's face, and immediately knew what he was thinking. He took out the scabbard from his belt, banged it on the card table, and roared ferociously,
"You damn thing, don't let your mind wander, you know?! If you don't tell me, I will hang you here!"
The prisoner shrank his neck and looked pitifully at Fang Xiaoru and Yang Pu.
Bao Zhao said helplessly,
"Sir, look..."
Fang Xiaoru knew that he was not an expert, so he looked at Jiang Wei and asked for his opinion.
"Master Jiang, do you think this is really a crime, or is it a forced confession?"
Jiang Wei shook his head.
"I can't tell. It's hard to judge even with the case file. But based on my experience, it's okay to give him some punishment. This kid is definitely not clean."
Jiang Wei did not lower his voice deliberately, and his voice reached everyone's ears clearly.
When Scarface heard this, he was so excited that he almost cried and gave a thumbs up.
"Master, you are really an expert!"
Jiang Wei is definitely a classicist. Jin Yiwei's style of acting is more classical. He will catch you and won't even ask you anything from now on. He will first take a set of comprehensive health care.
At this time, even if you want to recruit, you can't do it. You have to complete all the jobs.
Yang Pu and Fang Xiaoru also nodded after hearing this.
At this moment, the prisoner became the focus.
The very contradictory problem now is that,
When the Ministry of Punishment lynches prisoners, is it in compliance with Ming law?
Normally, this is definitely wrong, because prisoners are also human beings, and under such forced confessions, a large proportion of unjust cases will inevitably occur.
However, the Ministry of Punishment has to handle so many cases and examine so many prisoners every day that it simply does not have the manpower and energy to take every case seriously. Extorting confessions through torture is definitely the most efficient method.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. This sentence is not necessarily true.
However, the smaller the character, the smaller the responsibility. This is definitely the truth pursued by the workers.
From the perspective of a jailer,
I had a few dollars of hard work for a month, and on top of that, I was still under pressure from the case.
You asked me not to be lynched, and to handle every case fairly and impartially with a humanistic spirit. Isn't this nonsense?
This is no longer idealism, but fantasy!
"Did you see it? Now you believe what I said. As long as you don't recruit me! I will always be worried about you. It's useless for you to beg anyone!"
Scarface showed a cruel look on his face, and he pulled the prisoner and gritted his teeth.
But the prisoner's eyes became much clearer, and from time to time, he would pretend to look pitifully at Fang Xiaoru and Yang Pu.
The mouth that was about to open up was closed tightly this time.
People at the top may not understand the people at the bottom, but the people at the bottom know the official very well.
This is what this prisoner is like,
He knew that these officials were all face-saving and had to pretend to be kind-hearted.
I was in trouble today. As long as I pretended to be pitiful, I might actually be able to pass!
Scarface was a third-generation veteran jailer, and he could see through the prisoner's thoughts at a glance.
The will he had made before was destroyed, and the progress was reset to zero.
If you don't get lynched, this guy's mouth will be completely impossible to pry open!
But these very, very big leaders are watching from the side, and they can’t do anything themselves!
Seeing this, Jiang Wei leaned beside Yang Pu and said a few words.
This scene requires Yang Pu’s decision.
Yang Pu asked a few more questions in a low voice. Everyone pricked up their ears and listened hard, but still didn't hear a word.
Jiang Wei nodded.
Yang Pu's eyes flashed, he looked at Scarface and said,
"What did you do before? Let's do it now. Come on, I'll watch."
