"Even if you are the king of today, if you dare to violate the rules, I will not let you go!" Luofan's words shocked everyone inside and outside the hall, and there was an uproar everywhere!
"What? The king of Tiandu dares to kill him. Is he a lunatic?"
As the lord of the world, King Tiandu, although his power is weak now, is still the recognized king of the world. Even if the four major families are so powerful, they only dare to cause trouble secretly. He is quite powerful, saying such arrogant words in front of thousands of people in broad daylight!
Zhao Xue clicked her tongue with joy and said with a smile: "Hehe! This kid Luofan is always bad, but he is so domineering. I still like him. It would be great if my man could be so domineering."
Xie Xu frowned and said: "Don't talk nonsense. Duan Hongyan is much stronger than him. He is not overbearing, he is clearly arrogant."
Tao Feng couldn't calm down for a while. This kid is so ignorant that he talks crazier than Sima Yue! ?
His body was shaken, and he pointed and said angrily: "How impudent! You little catcher really doesn't know how high the sky is. Come on, catch this madman for me!"
As soon as Tao Feng drank, the armored guards on the left and right rushed into the hall. However, Luo Fan slapped the alarm and shouted: "Who dares to be so presumptuous! This is the place under my jurisdiction. I don't care who you are. If there is no order from the king of Tiandu to forcefully break into the government office with private soldiers, press The law should be in charge of the rebellion, and the whole clan should be executed. You have all seen the corpses on the street, if the first-grade Tianqing wants to lie there and fall asleep, then I will do it myself!"
When Luofan said something, Tao Feng took three steps back in shock, his face stiff with anger!
According to the laws of the Tiandu Dynasty, the City Guards and the Forbidden Army were responsible for maintaining security in Longcheng, while the Yin and Yang Division of the Neifu was responsible for administering the Dongjie County Government. Since he is the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, he has no right to lead troops into the Yamen. If Luofan really wanted to kill him, it was reasonable. And the hundreds of corpses lying on the street also proved that Luo Fan had this ability.
Thinking of this, Tao Feng did not dare to take action and waved the armored soldiers to retreat. He snorted angrily: "Good boy, you dare to use the law to suppress me. Well, I will stand here today to see how you try the case. If you have no evidence to prove that my grandson has violated the law, then I will go to King Tiandu. I will definitely capture you!"
In this way, Tao Feng's momentum was suppressed and he became a spectator. The people were astonished, this Dongjie County Magistrate was so powerful, even a first-grade official could not control him!
Luo Fan sat upright, picked up the testimonies of the servants just now, and shouted: "Here are the testimonies of Tao Zhili's five servants! There is also Xu Yang at the scene who can testify. The witnesses and material evidence are all there, which can already prove that Tao Zhili The fact of raping and humiliating women in the street."
Hearing this, Tao Feng laughed loudly, pointed at Luo Fan and said with a smile: "I know the rules better than you. The person involved in this case did not file a complaint. Moreover, when the case was first tried, in full view of the public, the woman admitted that she voluntarily had sex with others. Even though Your torture to extract confessions as evidence will be of no use. As long as the parties involved do not come forward to retract their confessions, there is no possibility of disputing this case. Isn’t that right, Mr. Magistrate?!”
After hearing Tao Feng's words, the people also started talking. They also understood. Now that the victim, Liu Qinghong, is dead, Tao Zhili will win no matter how this case is tried. Xie Xu and Zhao Xue couldn't help but sweat for Luo Fan. If he couldn't move Tao Zhili today, he would die without a burial place.
At this time, Luo Fan slapped the table, looked at Tao Zhili, and shouted: "Tao Zhili, I want to ask you, did you and your servant rape and humiliate the civilian girl Liu Qinghong in Donghua Lane?"
Tao Zhili also knew that Luofan had no evidence, and as long as he refused to admit it, there would be nothing he could do no matter how cruel he was. And now that he has his grandfather's support, he doesn't dare to torture him again. He immediately held his swollen face and said with a triumphant smile: "No! It was that bitch who voluntarily had sex with us. She is very promiscuous. I can't satisfy her by myself, so I asked these losers to join us. Go up and have fun."
Luofan slapped Tang Mu again and shouted angrily: "What you said is the truth. If you dare to lie, don't blame me for serving you with severe punishment!"
Tao Zhili was frightened when he heard this, and turned around to look at his grandfather for help.
Tao Feng immediately said coldly: "Exercise punishment?! I am here, how can I allow you to be arrogant. With so many people watching, is this how you try the case? It seems that you are nothing more than this."
Seeing his grandfather's support, Tao Zhili felt confident. He looked at Luofan and hummed contentedly: "Huh! Yes, it's a matter of mutual consent. Why do you insist on charging me with something? I think you are full." Yes, you are the same as that Xu Yang. You are such a stupid idiot looking for trouble when you have nothing to do!"
Luo Fan frowned and continued: "You mean, in broad daylight, in an alley frequented by pedestrians, a woman from a good family voluntarily had sex with you and a bunch of your servants?"
Tao Zhili looked shameless and laughed: "Of course. I didn't force her. If you don't believe me, why don't you ask that woman? She did it voluntarily. What can you do to me?"
Luo Fan's face turned dark when he heard this, and he looked at the other five boys and shouted, "Did you say the same thing?"
Of the five boys, two were beaten and could only lie on the ground. The other three knelt cringingly. At this time, Tao Feng was present. They all changed their words and said anxiously: "Yes! Yes! We were frightened and confused by you just now. This is what the young master said. The woman voluntarily fell in love with us. That's it."
When Luo Fan heard this, he said angrily: "Okay! Since you bold thieves are so confident in your words, it seems that my continued interrogation will be in vain. Chief Jia, take their confessions and let them Draw a pledge."
Jia Xu didn't understand why, but he still took the confession and asked six people to use it as a pledge. Tao Zhili raised his head and snorted disdainfully, and proudly pressed his fingerprints on the confession.
When everyone took a look, the county magistrate allowed the painting to be pledged, which was regarded as admitting defeat. Liu Qinghong, the master of suffering, is dead. The truth of this fact depends entirely on their nonsense. So, how can they be convicted. The people sighed.
Xu Yang, who was standing in the hall, also sighed and shook his head. Nangong Xiaoxiao was holding Xu Yang's arm with an annoyed look on his face. Although the new county magistrate was bold, he could not bring Tao Zhili to justice without evidence. Even Xie Xu and Zhao Xue thought that Luofan was out of luck and had no choice but to admit defeat.
After Tao Zhili and the others finished taking the pledge, Luofan collected the confession and read it carefully. At this moment, he suddenly stood up! His face suddenly changed to a ferocious one, his eyes were bloodshot, and his body was full of majesty and vigor! He is like a red-faced devil, or a black-faced Yama. The rising murderousness enveloped the whole room in a gloomy haze!
A heavy slap on the cliff! The solid old elm wood pieces were broken into eight pieces and scattered in all directions!
The powerful momentum made everyone inside and outside the hall take a few steps back in shock!
Everyone seemed to see a raging demon!
Tao Feng was also shocked and retreated! I thought to myself, this kid is going crazy because he is so angry!
However, Luo Fan stood up, his eyes were as angry as diamonds, he gritted his teeth and pointed at Tao Zhili, his domineering voice penetrated the heavenly spirit, and he said angrily: "Okay! Now that the case is clear, all the witnesses and physical evidence are ready. There are also common people and Yipin Tian Your Majesty testified that Tao Zhili and the other prisoners also confessed. My verdict is as follows, everyone, listen up!"
Everyone was confused when they heard this. This case was only halfway through trial. Why was it suddenly closed? Still a verdict? How can we judge if there is nothing?
However, Luofan heard the verdict loudly: "Tao Zhili and the five servants are guilty of the first crime: being filthy and messy with others in public places in the streets and alleys. According to the crime of being immoral, eighty canes! The second crime: having sex with a married woman Adultery, which offends moral ethics, requires eighty sticks! The third crime is that Tao Zhili not only committed adultery himself, but also instigated five servants to intercourse and cause chaos. According to the law, eighty sticks are added! The fourth crime is that the body is clearly sound, but it is framed. Xu Yang seriously injured him, causing him to be unjustly imprisoned for twenty years, plus eighty canes. Let’s ignore the other crimes for now. First, pull these six criminals down and give each of them three hundred and twenty punishments. If there are any I am ordered to parade on the streets for another month to serve as a warning!"
After the verdict was announced, Luofan picked up the order sign on the table, threw it down in the hall, and shouted: Beat! ——
A slap! It penetrates the human soul, like a sword of light breaking through the dark field, shocking everyone's blood and anger!
There was a exclamation of surprise inside and outside the hall!
"Three hundred and twenty big sticks! Wow! This is going to kill someone!"
Tao Zhili was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, while the other five servants knelt down and kowtowed, crying and begging.
Tao Feng's eyes widened when he heard this, his face was expressionless, and he was dumbfounded! Unexpectedly, Luofan never wanted to convict Tao Zhili of raping a common woman from the beginning. The purpose of his acting was to prove Tao Zhili's moral crime in public and beat him to death.
Moreover, Luofan's move is really clever. If Tao Zhili is sentenced to death. Instead, the case must be submitted to the Tianqing Mansion's Tianwei Division for review. At that time, the Tianqing Mansion was afraid of the threat from the five major families, so it might have dismissed the case and retried it, so Tao Zhili would naturally not be able to kill him. And he could make Tao Zhili have no chance of survival by just hitting the board.
After hearing the verdict, the people couldn't help clapping their hands and shouting!
Zhao Xue jumped excitedly and laughed excitedly: "Luofan, this boy is so handsome! He is the best man in the world and a hero of ours. Beat this grandson to death and let him do all kinds of evil. He deserves it!"
Xie Xu also admires Luofan's scheming and cruelty. Unexpectedly, even Tao Feng, the first-grade Tianqing, could only accept the defeat. If we want to control the power of the four major families, I'm afraid the only way to do it is with thunderous attacks like Luofan.
