The ninth-grade officer was still screaming just now, but now he fainted.
The civil servant's face was as white as snow, his arms and legs were really trembling, and his body was shaking.
The smell of blood filled the air, but the two civil servants had not seen such a tragic situation before. In the past, they had seen too many people being tortured in the yamen.
Worse things abound.
Generally, the appetizer for a prisoner's punishment is a stick, followed by a hot iron, and even more gruesome punishments.
But what the civil servants were afraid of was that the dignified magistrate did not follow the law and directly punished the court officials.
Ninth grade, he is also an official of the imperial court!
He looked up at Chai Kejing, who was still smiling ferociously, and wanted to speak out.
But civil servants who have been in the officialdom for a long time know better that the so-called surrender, reporting, etc. cannot be said to be meaningless, but it is meaningless here.
Killing one person is forgivable, but how can killing ten people be forgiven?
Once this matter is exposed by one's own prosecution, no matter how much one pleads guilty, it will be meaningless.
Even if he really spares his life, he will offend the entire officialdom and the powerful people who can never afford to offend him. At that time, he is afraid that not only will he not survive, but he will also be wiped out.
Under Chai Kejing's cold question, the civil servant fell to the ground with a thud and his body trembled slightly. He looked extremely frightened, but he still clenched his teeth and did not say a word.
"Okay, he is a tough-talking person who is not afraid of death." Chai Kejing patted the gum, and a gray light shone in his eyes.
For any powerful organization, those who are not afraid of death and resist stubbornly will not only not gain admiration, but will gain greater wrath and more terrible punishment.
Not to mention the previous dynasty, this is the current dynasty. Once someone refused to plead guilty, the government was immediately furious. Originally he was hanged, but now he is sentenced to beheading the whole family.
Why, because the foundation of all government is based on the deterrence of force. If you dare to show that "the people are not afraid of death", it will dare to "kill them all"
Seeing someone with backbone, sparing one's life, or admiring someone, are the dreams of a pedantic scholar.
Those who are killed are those with bones.
"Since you are not afraid of death, have backbone, and are a real man, then how can I not help you? Come here! Give me a stick to death immediately. No need to drag him out, just kill him with a stick in the hall!"
The civil servant did not compromise, and Chai Kejing, who asked the question, did not hesitate. He gave a cold shout, called to the people around him, and killed the civil servant with a stick.
"ah……"
When the civil servant heard this, he was immediately stunned. He seemed to have never expected that the prefect could be so ruthless. He didn't even find a crime to blame, but just killed him with a stick like this!
Although he is not a high-ranking official, he is still an official within the establishment, let alone a convicted prisoner!
The clerk opened his mouth to say something, but a ball of smelly stuff was forced into his mouth.
"No!" The clerk was really panicked. He shook his head desperately and wanted to spit out the things and beg for mercy. Now his courage and persistence have turned into snow water.
Without any hesitation, the officer grabbed both arms and held them tightly. His hair was even grabbed by someone, and he turned his whole body towards Chai Kejing, not wanting to face Chai Kejing.
Chai Kejing just looked at him with a sneer. The civil servant could not speak, thinking about the fate he was about to face, which made his eyes split.
"Woooo..."
"Go to hell!" After being dragged a few meters away, a government official kicked the clerk. As soon as the two let go, the clerk fell to the ground.
Two more people had already taken sticks and hit the official.
There was a muffled sound of "Peng", and the clerk wanted to struggle to get up, but was hit by the stick and fell down. Although his mouth was gagged, Han Hu's screams immediately rang out.
The first few blows were so severe that the clerk could not spit out the contents from his mouth. The people behind the screen could only hear the whining sound and the muffled sound of the stick hitting the body.
"No!" The clerk reacted, feeling extremely painful. He grabbed the stuff in his mouth with his hands, and then begged for mercy. Another stick hit his spine hard, and everyone around him could faintly hear the sound of bones breaking. The sound was a scream from a civil servant. There was almost no human voice in that sound, and it was extremely cruel.
Chai Kejing could see clearly that the man's eyes were bulging and blood was spurting from his mouth and nose.
This time, it actually cost him half his life.
"Fight, keep fighting, beat me to death immediately!"
The two chief servants swung their sticks fiercely in their hands and beat them down.
At the beginning of the beating, although he had the intention of beating him to death, he didn't let go completely. Now looking at the expression on the Lord's face, it is obvious that he is angry. He wants to use this civil servant to scare the monkeys. In this case, he cannot be allowed to die in ten years. Inside the stick, you cannot let it die happily, you must let it die painfully, in order to achieve the effect.
Therefore, each stroke of the staff brought a scream. The scream was sharp at first, and then hoarse to the point where it was almost impossible to make a sound, like a broken bellows, but it was still roaring.
Just listening to it through the screen and not seeing it very clearly makes people feel creepy.
Even Yu Lu, who was almost killed by an arrow, was a little different from before, but he was not someone who had seen a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses. Hearing the shouts outside, he couldn't help but frown.
Forget about killing with a stick, one after another, so many blows, but the person was still not completely killed, but there was no call to stop in the middle. This was obviously because he wanted this person's life, but he didn't want to give him a happy life.
Killing someone but nodding his head, Yu Lu came up with this thought and subconsciously looked at Taisun.
This glance made Yu Lu slightly stunned.
I saw Taisun sitting peacefully, head slightly tilted, holding his chin with one hand, eyes half-closed, not sure whether he was meditating or listening.
He looked over, seemingly alarming his grandson. The young man sitting with his eyes lowered looked up.
The grandson's expression was calm, as if he had not heard the sound outside, and he said: "You are among the Jinshi, have you replied to your family? When we were studying with our classmates, none of the three of us thought that we would have this day. Do you still remember our classmates back then? meeting?"
When Yu Lu heard his grandson talking about the past class reunion, his expression softened: "How can I forget this?"
"During the class reunion, you also taught us how to read."
"In the beginning, there were four more candidates. Apart from the two of us, one of us also won the Jinshi. Many people wanted to join, but they didn't dare without your permission."
"Don't dare to be kind, know how to be respectful. Did you show mercy just now?" Taisun said back again: "This is actually human nature."
"People outside the system rarely fear power, but people within the system often see this kind of thing, and then they realize that any backbone, temper, and character are actually meaningless to the government."
"Feng Gu basically educates people, but when it comes to trouble, whether it's yourself or the enemy, the harder you are, the worse it will be."
"I've seen it too much, so I'm afraid."
Just after he finished speaking, the sounds outside had stopped, and there was only the muffled sound of the stick continuing to hit flesh or corpses. Hearing these sounds made people panic.
Of course, Yu Lu was probably the only one who really felt this "normal" at the scene.
It was only at this moment, recalling Taisun's calm expression, that Yu Lu seemed to really understand the relationship between the government and ordinary people.
"That's why I never want to lose." Taisun couldn't help but murmured.
