"Jun Shen is here!"
"Is this Mr. Shen?"
"To be so young..."
Whispers continued, Shen Tang walked straight through the crowd without squinting, lifted up the hem of his clothes and stepped onto the simple high platform. The onlookers were blocked by soldiers. The high platform is simple, with three steps. Climbing up the stairs, the people watching can easily see what is happening.
Shen Tang ignored the crowd's murmurs.
Sitting upright, he waved his hand down.
Soon soldiers came up carrying heavy bamboo slips.
A thud.
The heavy objects hit the ground and kicked up a thin layer of dust. .
Shen Tang casually picked up the top volume and opened it.
Let her pick a "lucky guy" to take the lead.
"Oh, it's quite a coincidence that I brought Manager Diao of the Zhang family here." Shen Tang casually covered the book, put it aside, and dragged one person to the stage like a chicken. The people took a closer look and immediately recognized the identity of this person. It was the manager named Diao of the Zhang family.
This person's mother is the wet nurse of the head of the Zhang family.
He has always regarded himself as the nanny brother of the head of the Zhang family.
In addition, the whole family worked for the Zhang family, and several members of the family were highly valued. He used this relationship to do many things that were outrageous to both men and gods, such as robbing women, seizing fertile farmland, beating tenants to death, and forcing orphans and widowed mothers to death. There is no shortage of things to do.
A person who can do whatever it takes to achieve profit.
The Zhang family owned more than 600 hectares of fertile land, and had more than 500 tenants working for them. Manager Diao was responsible for part of the management. He secretly bullied the tenants' families and took away their wives and daughters. The behavior is outrageous.
As for the file that Shen Tang accidentally saw before - Diao falsely accused his son of stealing a fighting cock and forced his widowed mother to perform a caesarean section to prove his innocence. Among all of Diao's crimes, this was not even among the top ten most serious crimes. You can't even get in!
Shen Tang looked at it with a frown.
"No, is there a need for a trial? Just drag him down and chop off his head. It's over once and for all. Don't waste time."
However, Qi Shan and others did not agree with her proposal at all.
Shen Tang sighed and said to Diao Guanshi, who was trembling with black eyes and black eyes: "Okay, okay, I understand, I understand, the procedure still needs to be followed. Lingde, come and read it for him."
Chu Yao was originally responsible for this trivial matter.
However, he reasoned that he was old and his voice was a little hoarse after staying up all night, so he asked Lin Feng, his apprentice, to do it for him. Children should practice a lot and strive to achieve the goal of "Taishan collapses in front but remains unchanged, and elk thrives in left." The eyes cannot blink."
A literary scholar must have an iron heart.
It can handle any scene of any size with ease.
Lin Feng endured his nervousness, and his childish voice reached the ears of the people below from the high platform. After she finished reading the letter with clear pronunciation and rhythm, Shen Tang asked Manager Diao if he admitted his guilt. Manager Diao kowtowed for mercy and banged the high platform loudly - if only Mr. Zhang had been punished, he would still have been tough, but Shen Tang picked seven families (at the entrance of the hall) in one night, which shows the opponent's thunderous skills.
No beeping, just do it!
Is there any way to survive in the hands of such a person?
It's not that he didn't know what he had done, he was just confident in the past - the Zhang family was his biggest backer, and as the head of the family, he would not give the Zhang family face if he touched him - now that backer has fallen, even the backer himself is The Clay Bodhisattva cannot save himself when he crosses the river. How can he survive?
Now I just want it not to be the death penalty.
As long as I can live...
Shen Tang asked quietly: "Are you pleading guilty or not?"
Diao Guanshi said: "Confess, plead guilty."
In fact, he couldn't even remember if he had done it, how many times he had done it, when he had done it... there were too many.
Seeing Guanshi Diao pleading guilty, Shen Tang asked Gu Chi.
"How to impose a sentence?"
Gu Chi said: "He should be punished."
Shen Tang smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll be tortured."
The people below heard the words and started making noises. However, Diao Guanshi on the high platform showed a happy smile as if he had survived the disaster.
The so-called "punishment" is to cut off the criminal's nose. Losing a nose is nothing compared to losing a life. The people were dissatisfied that Diao could still save his life after doing so many evil things, just by cutting off his nose! How unfair!
Even if some people can't stand it anymore, they are ready to leave.
but--
Diao screamed and his nose mixed with blood fell to the ground. The person being executed wiped plant ash on the wound to stop the bleeding. Without looking at his nose, Shen Tang picked up another roll and looked at it twice, raising a meaningful smile on his lips.
Passed it to Lin Feng on one side.
"Lingde, read it."
Diao Guanshi was immediately dumbfounded.
Shen Tang played with the accessories on his waist and smiled brightly: "Who do you think the letters in this basket are written about? Punishment, that was the price you had to pay for the incident just now. Now we have to interrogate another one. There are two different things, one is the other. I am a very kind person. It is not appropriate to kill too many people as the New Year is approaching. I am exempting you from the penalty for several crimes for the time being. I will deal with you one by one!"
Diao Guanshi's pupils trembled violently.
He looked at the large basket of letters in Shen Tang's hand.
Wu Nu struggled violently, but was kicked to the ground by Li Li. He grabbed his hands behind his back and couldn't struggle.
Lin Feng read the second volume.
Manager Diao refused to admit his fault this time.
But it doesn't matter, she doesn't even bother to use uncivilized and bloody methods like torture to extract confessions. If you are a civilized person, be civilized. Literary scholars can make you speak the truth!
When Diao confessed uncontrollably, Shen Tang turned around and asked Gu Chi with a smile: "Wang Chao, how should I be sentenced?"
"He should be punished with death."
The so-called "cut off punishment" means to cut off the feet.
Shen Tang said: "That's not possible, right? Chopping his feet, how long can he hold on to such a big wound? The Chinese New Year is too bloody."
Gu Chi: "You can cut off your right toe to reduce the crime."
Shen Tang nodded in agreement.
So he ordered someone to cut off the troublesome right toe.
The third volume, heavy punishment, "cutting punishment".
Volume 4, heavy punishment, "cutting punishment".
Volume 5, heavy punishment, "cutting punishment".
Shen Tang frowned again and again.
He was deliberately muttering so that the people in the audience could hear him.
"Hey, your parents didn't give you seven or eight legs. I don't know where you got the confidence to commit so many crimes worthy of execution. As a human being, please be kind. Before you do anything, think about what your parents gave you. Your body is enough to chop me down several times!"
According to the current file slips in hand, even if the sentence is reduced, it would not be enough to chop off all ten fingers, ten toes, eyes, ears, mouth and nose of Diao Guanshi by two. Shen Tang's purpose was to intimidate, not to teach people how to swine on the spot. He directly gave Steward Diao a pleasant surprise and ordered someone to chop off his head with a knife.
The head was gushing blood and rolling around several times.
Blood spattered and stained Lin Feng's shoes and socks.
She was just a little pale, but still stable.
Shen Tang asked Lin Feng to finish reading the remaining files related to Diao. According to these contents, his whole family, not to mention him alone, would have to be buried with him several times. In the current environment, Shen Tang did not mention any harm to his family - not to mention that Diao's parents, brothers, sisters, wife and children were also unclean. Even if they were innocent, they were the direct beneficiaries of Diao's benefits.
If they were ignorant, they could still complain, but as real beneficiaries, how could they be innocent?
Fifty-eight lives were directly killed by Diao alone! The number of indirect victims may be doubled!
Shen Tang: "Bring up Diao's wife Wu."
A family...
It's better to be neat and tidy.
Shen Tang calmly sipped the hot tea. Within two-quarters of an hour, there were eight more heads on the high platform. She felt uncomfortable looking at the heads, so she asked someone to arrange the heads neatly, facing one direction - well, It looks much more comfortable this way.
The only daughter of this family who had a relatively minor crime was also sentenced to fifty years of caning before being tortured. She will make a living by pounding rice in the future.
After Diao's family is over, the next basket is not so ink-stained, because it is the highlight of Ha Yin Zhang's family! Shen Tang took out a scroll at random, and what came up was a huge death sentence! If she doesn't believe in evil, if she takes another roll, she will still be beheaded, hanged, and even punished with five to five punishments.
This is a death penalty gift package.
Gu Chi said: "It's not that troublesome. For the crime committed by the head of the Zhang family, the lightest punishment is five sentences for the Yi clan."
Shen Tang: "..."
The so-called "three tribes of Yi people, all with five punishments" are easy to understand. Simply put, the three tribes of Yi tribes had to cut off a person's nose, cut off his toes, kill him with a cane, cut off his head and hang it in public, and finally chop him into pieces. Chop it into meat sauce...
The punishments of Xin and Geng were different.
The former usually used sticks to beat people into exile, and few of them had their limbs mutilated. They were only used for serious crimes, while Geng's country often used knives to chop off people's eyes, ears, nose, hands, and feet. Now under the rule of Zheng Qiao of Geng State, the Zhang family naturally has no good fruits to eat.
In the past, one could use one's wealth to get away with it.
not now.
Because the Geng Kingdom had the habit of ransacking homes first and then killing people.
The Zhang family's property was "purchased" by Shen Tang as adult goods, and he couldn't atone for his sins, so every file could give a "death penalty" gift package. The executioner's hand was tired from carrying the knife, and even the specially sharpened machete was curled.
Looking at the neatly arranged heads...
The people below didn't feel cruel, just happy.
The only people who felt cruel were the "fish that slipped through the net" mixed in the crowd and watched the execution. They watched familiar faces being dragged up to the high platform by Shen Tang's orders, and then being grabbed by the hair and neck exposed without dignity. To be killed...
Strong grief, anger and hatred filled my heart.
It would be inhumane not to avenge this!
His malicious eyes were directed at the young man on the high platform.
They could only see their own people being killed, and they could only see Shen Tang's cruelty and ruthlessness. It was Shen Tang who made them fall from the clouds into the mud overnight. They were as tired as bereaved dogs and had to hide in common people's clothes...
They have to hibernate, even if they have to sleep on the fire to try their best, they have to secretly accumulate strength, and then give Shen Tang a fatal blow!
Some people are also planning to rob the prison.
Gu Chi: "..."
Ah this...
Can you respect his way of being a scribe?
Gu Chi's eyes were slightly cold, he sneered, raised his hand to call Gong Shuwu, and told him the general direction and appearance of the "fish that slipped through the net" - why did he keep it even if he knew it was a hidden danger?
Killing will prevent future troubles forever!
In his early years, Gu Chi traveled all over the country and met many so-called "nobles of the old country". These people had the same virtues in their hearts. They couldn't let go of their former glory and wealth. They hid among the people and secretly plotted to restore the old country! As long as the country can be restored, anything can be done.
They specialize in looking for opportunities to cause havoc, turning grass into bandits, intercepting and killing the people of the new country, and poisoning the villages and towns to introduce the source of disease.
These legacy...
Kill them quickly!
Gu Chi's eyes were colder than ever before.
