After Luofan started, he pointed at the five servants behind Tao Zhili and shouted: "You are the ones who committed violence with Tao Zhili in the alley. Come forward!"
The five servants saw that Tao Zhili had been beaten like this, and there was no trace of the arrogance of the past. All of them looked pale and moved to the front of the hall with their legs shaking.
Luo Fan's face was ashen, his voice was stern and cold, and he shouted: "I want to ask you, you accompanied Tao Zhili on the street that day. What happened after you got to the streets and alleys? Please tell me the truth quickly!"
The five servants looked at each other with panic on their faces. Although they were afraid of Luofan's power, they remained silent and did not dare to say a word. After all, anyone who dares to speak out will be doomed.
Seeing this, Luo Fan slapped the table and shouted: "You dare to hide it in the lobby! Now I will personally call people, and you guys will answer me one by one. If you dare to hide it again, you will be sentenced to death. Starting from the servant on the right, you first Come and tell me?"
When the servant saw Luo Fan pointing at him, he trembled with fear. I saw that he had a strong build, a fat head, big ears, and a big beard. He looked more like a butcher killing pigs on the street than a boy. Standing in this harsh Dharma hall, I was so scared that my whole body shrank and trembled, and I couldn't say a single sentence. Hearing him stutter back: "Return, sir! Me! Me! I don't know! I forgot. Sir, it's been too long, I forgot everything. I can't remember."
Luo Fan snorted and shouted coldly: "How dare you lie in the lobby. It seems that you are still lucky if I don't give you some color to show you. Come here, give me twenty sticks! After twenty sticks, if he still wants to If he can't get up, give him another forty strokes. If he still can't remember the forty strokes, give him another eighty strokes. In this way, keep beating him until he remembers. If he is beaten to death, it means that his own fate is bad!"
Under Luo Fan Wu's orders, he would be beaten to death. The people were stunned. Is this a trial? It was clearly a random act of violence, it was so outrageous.
Zhao Xue also frowned in displeasure and said: "How can a case be tried like this? Isn't this torture to extract a confession? So many people were invited to see him try the case, is this how he tried it? It seems that he is an expert in murder, and the trial case is really A layman."
Xie Xu said: "As the saying goes, you are not afraid of officials, only afraid of management. Luofan is the county magistrate of Dongjie, and this is his territory. Others have no right to interfere. But he is not stupid. If he kills people unreasonably, Tao Feng, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs Tianqing Naturally, I won’t spare him. Keep reading, I think he might have a back-up plan.”
After receiving Luofan's order, the policeman in the hall dragged the servant aside and began to beat him with a stick. Of course they didn't dare to hit Tao Zhili, but they weren't afraid to hit a servant. The stick fell, and soon the skin and flesh were torn apart, and the servant couldn't help but screamed and shouted for mercy!
In this way, while beating a servant. Luo Fan pointed at the second servant and shouted coldly: "What's your name? You haven't actually recruited him!"
This servant was short in stature, with small ears and a dark face. It was obvious at first glance that he was a clever guy. When he heard the question, he fell to his knees and burst into tears: "Sir, my name is Qi Bahu. Sir, please be merciful, but I really don't know anything! Please be merciful, my weak body cannot withstand that." Bangzi, please have mercy! Please have mercy!"
Luo Fan raised his eyebrows and rebuked angrily: "A bold maniac, a treacherous evil thief. Above the court, he still harbors luck and wants to get away with it. If someone comes, give him forty sticks first. If you don't tell me yet, give him I'll beat him eighty times. I'll beat him the same until he dies!"
Yama does not consider reasons when deciding a case, let alone right and wrong. It only uses torture to make you vomit out all your heart, liver and lungs. At that moment, two more detectives came forward and pulled Qi Bahu away, then pushed him to the ground and slapped him with a stick. The person in the hall howled miserably, which immediately turned into two people crying!
At this time, Luofan stared at the third servant again, raised his hand, slapped the table and shouted: "What's your thief's name again? If you can't remember what happened back then, then I'll punish you with eighty sticks." .If you still try to be brave, I will beat you to death, and I will see if you can take action or not!"
This servant is the least timid and physically weak. With a sallow face, his eyes were filled with the panic of thieves. My legs were shaking so badly that I raised my sleeves to wipe away the sweat. Hearing Luofan's violent shouting, he collapsed on the ground and cried: "Sir! I say! I say! Don't hit me with eighty sticks. My body is weak and I can't bear eighty sticks. What are you asking, I say what."
Luo Fan coldly shouted: "In that case, why don't you tell the truth about that day!"
The servant lay on the ground and cried miserably: "That day, the five of us went to the street with the young master and met a woman buying vegetables on the street. The young master said that the woman was good-looking, so we followed her all the way. Come on. When we arrived at Donghua Alley, we saw no one around. The young master asked us to catch her. Then, then, the young master will do it!"
Luo Fan's eyes narrowed and he scolded: "Just do it! Tell the truth in the Dharma Hall. Otherwise, I will beat you to death with a stick!"
The servant was so frightened that he closed his eyes and said, "The young master forced her! After that, he even asked us to do the same thing together!"
After hearing what the servant said, he fell on the ground and started crying. The people in the hall were yelling and cursing. Although this matter has been known to everyone for a long time, now that I heard it clearly in the hall, I was still very angry.
Luo Fan snorted coldly, looked at the other servants, and shouted: "Someone has already been attacked. Have the others remembered what happened that day? If they still can't, then they can also try the power of this stick!"
Seeing that someone had confessed, but others were still willing to carry it, they all shouted to confess.
Luo Fan raised his hand and shouted: "Okay, since everyone has confessed, then stop beating the stick. Master Jia, let a group of people sign and sign!"
Master Jia immediately picked up the confession and asked the boys to sign it one by one!
The people nodded one after another. This official was really powerful. He could clear up the matter with just a few sticks.
Zhao Xue, however, shook her head: "Luofan is stupid! The evidence obtained through torture cannot be used against Tao Feng's grandson. He might even be charged with indiscriminate lynching."
Xie Xu thought deeply: "Then you underestimate Luofan. The laws of the dynasty are clearly written. Those who defy the court can be beaten with forty sticks. You see, although he shouted loudly just now, the two servants have not been beaten with forty sticks at most." Stick is not the case. This is the skill of investigating a case, and there is nothing against the rules. Moreover, I always feel that Luofan is waiting for something. He is so smart, he will never do anything stupid."
Zhao Xue smiled: "Brother can see clearly. Yes, if we can think of it, this kid must have thought of it too."
Soon, the servants all confessed and signed their names.
At this time, Tao Zhili finally woke up a little, his cheeks were swollen, and he struggled to get up. Seeing Luo Fan being domineering in the hall, his eyes were full of anger, but he didn't dare to show up anymore. He could only open his mouth full of leaks with great effort, pointed at Luo Fan and said bitterly: "You are so cruel! When my grandpa comes, I will make you repay him a hundred times. When the time comes, I will also knock out all your teeth!"
Luo Fan smiled and said: "Yes, you are ambitious. Okay, I will give you a chance. I will sit here and wait for a while. When your grandfather comes, I will see if he has the ability to save people from me."
Everyone was shocked and suspicious. He actually wanted to wait for the first-grade Tianqing to come. This was too presumptuous. How dare he, a small fourth-grade sesame official, fight against a first-grade official! Is this guy really confident or is he just bluffing? Everyone couldn't figure it out, and they were all waiting to see the show.
Sure enough, not long after, Tao Feng, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs Tianqing, led his eldest son Tao Yi, his youngest son Tao Xiang, and his grandsons Tao Qianji, Tao Baiwen and others, and came in a hurry with 300 armored guards.
This Tao Feng is nearly seventy years old, with a gray beard, a black dragon robe, and a gold medal for catching gods hanging around his waist. He walked towards me aggressively with his hands behind his back, showing the air of a high and powerful person. When the people saw the army coming outside the yamen, they all moved out of the way.
Tao Feng walked to the front of the hall, without even looking at the hall. He raised his head and shouted arrogantly: "Whoever dares to touch my grandson, I will make his whole family pay for it."
This is the drink. All the detectives in the hall had their legs shaking and had to hold on to sticks to avoid falling. Tao Zhili was overjoyed that his savior had finally arrived.
Luo Fan's face was calm and he shouted back: "Who are you so arrogant in front of the hall! I am reviewing the case and have been ordered by the laws of the Tiandu Dynasty. If you dare to say such arrogant words, I'm afraid you will come here with your destiny but leave without your destiny!"
Tao Feng immediately became angry. When his dignified first-grade Tianqing arrived, the other party not only did not come down to greet him, but instead used threatening words.
With his beard exploding, he walked into the hall, pointed at Luofan and shouted: "This little fourth-grade arrester is so impudent. I am a first-grade Tianqing divine arrester with a bodyguard of 20,000. You dare to talk to me like this. Believe it or not, I can crush your entire yamen with just one word!"
Luofan slapped the wood in the hall and shouted coldly: "You are not the only one who wants to destroy my yamen today. They are all lying on the street now. Since you are the divine arrester of Tianqing, you should know the rules. How dare you speak out? Wild talk. Not to mention your 20,000 bodyguards, even if you dare to violate the rules as the king today, I will definitely kill you without mercy!"
