As soon as he walked out of Jiang's house, Yu Wenbin remembered that Zhang Chunxu was good at martial arts. If he found out, he wouldn't be able to deliver it to Landlord Jiang, and wouldn't he be unable to get the money?
After thinking about it, in order to continue to stay in Xitong County, when the county magistrate Yu Wenbin returned to the yamen, he first put down his official duties and began to think of ways.
It was almost dark now.
From early morning until it was almost dark, Xitong County did not see any sunlight today.
And the jailed prisoner He Hansheng is not dead. Today is the first day of execution.
At this moment, he was still tied to the pillar next to the execution ground. According to this punishment, the meat cut off today was almost done, and he could not continue cutting until tomorrow.
I don’t know who came up with this idea, but Lingchi has existed since the founding of the Mo Kingdom.
Regarding Ling Chi, there are also records in books. First, the areas that would cause little damage to the body's functions were cut first, and then continued, and the most critical areas were cut at the end.
This method is very cruel.
It's like a living person removing one part a day. Today, remove a finger, and tomorrow, remove a finger. After removing the fingers, remove the toes, and after removing the toes, remove the arms and legs. The further back you go, the closer you are to life.
Anyway, this is roughly how Ling Chi came about.
Although the prisoner He Hansheng was tied to a pillar, there were several government officials around him holding fire in their hands to guard him.
If it rains, the officer will stand under the shed, still staring at the prisoner.
…
"What did you talk about today? Have you been talking for so long?" As he spoke, Xi Ran put the plates of food on the table.
Seeing Zi Yuan still standing aside, Chun Xu smiled: "Nothing, just talk about how to avenge Zheng Zhui in the future."
"Then... have you thought about it?" Xi Ran asked.
Chunxu smiled: "Not yet, it can't be so fast. This requires long-term planning."
Without a home, the second young master He Yuhong chose to live in Chunxu's home. After all, they would take revenge together in the future.
Ziyuan is also very obedient. With He Yuhong around, he always calls Chunxu his father.
Looking at the plates of food in front of him and thinking about the tragic scene that happened to his family today, he hated the court and himself even more.
On one side, Li Xiran's family was still happily eating their food, but on the other side, the magistrate of the county government office, Yu Zhixian, hadn't had time to take another bite of food and was thinking about the solution.
"Master Liu!"
As soon as the county magistrate Yu Wenbin called out, Master Liu walked in: "Magistrate, what can I do?"
"Go and call some good government officials."
Listening to the words of the county magistrate Yu Wenbin, Mr. Liu was a little confused: "Magistrate, are you...?"
"Just go, I have a plan."
Seeing that the county magistrate Yu Wenbin was unwilling to say anything, Master Liu had no choice but to do so.
After a while, several government officials walked in.
"Master Liu, we don't need you now. You should go back and rest first." Yu Wenbin said.
Master Liu: "Okay."
Master Liu walked out and closed the door.
At this time, Yu Zhixian frowned, stood up from his chair, walked to several government servants, and looked around, but said nothing.
Seeing that Yu Zhixian was speechless, a curious yamen servant asked: "Zhixian, what do you want to do with the young people? Just tell me, and the young people will definitely be able to do it."

Seeing the gazes of these government officials, Yu Zhixian smiled slightly, patted the shoulder of the government servant who had just asked the question, and said with a smile: "Have you ever caught a woman?"
Listening to Magistrate Yu's questioning, the yamen servant felt a little shy: "Magistrate, I have done this to detain and capture women as long as they are related to the case. If it is not related to the case, then we don't dare to do it. "
Yu Wenbin smiled slightly: "Now I want you to catch a woman."
After hearing this, another government official smiled slightly and asked curiously: "Who does the magistrate have his eyes on?"
Listening to the yamen servant's words, Yu Wenbin smiled: "I don't want it, it's Landlord Jiang who wants it."
Upon hearing this, the four government officials looked at each other.
"Landlord Jiang?" a yamen servant asked curiously.
Yu Wenbin nodded: "Yes, Lord Jiang. There will be taxes here again. We in He County have to come up with 50,000 taels of silver. If we can't come up with it, I, the county magistrate, will have to be transferred to Mozhang or Nanyue." . If I go to those places, my food will definitely not be delicious. No, I have to ask Landlord Jiang, but Landlord Jiang said that he wanted a woman in exchange, so he gave it to me. "
Listening to the words of the county magistrate Yu Wenbin, the government officials all smiled.
This woman who is related to the case has been arrested, but this woman who has nothing to do with the case has not been arrested.
The more the officials thought about it, the more exciting it became, and they started talking one after another.
"Magistrate, please tell me which family the woman is from, and we will take care of it."
"Yeah, it's just a woman, and there are still things that we can't handle?"
Seeing their confident looks, County Magistrate Yu Wenbin frowned and sighed: "Zhang Chunxu's woman."
Upon hearing this, the smiles of several government officials suddenly disappeared.
"This... magistrate, this Chunxu person is a bit difficult for the young people. You also know that if he starts to attack, none of the young people can beat him."
"Yes, he is very cruel."
"Zhixian, is that the woman?"
Yu Wenbin's brows furrowed even more when he saw how cowardly all the government officials looked.
After a while, Yu Wenbin sighed: "That's why I called you here." After saying that, Yu Wenbin looked at the unconfident faces and asked: "Is he really that difficult to beat? "
The four government officials nodded.
"Although we haven't really competed with him, given his kung fu, we really can't beat him." A yamen servant said.
Looking at each of the government officials looking like this, this is not an option. They don't even have the courage to fight, so how can they satisfy Landlord Jiang's wish.
After a while, the county magistrate Yu Wenbin asked: "Tell me, how many people do you need to defeat him?"
After hesitating for a moment, a yamen servant came over and said, "This is not going to affect the yamen brothers."
Yu Wenbin sighed: "No, there are too many people. If this alarms the villagers, how can I have the dignity to live in Xitong County in the future?"
After thinking for a moment, Yu Wenbin expressed his thoughts: "Can you make the tiger leave the mountain?"
Several government officials looked at each other, shook their heads, and looked at the county magistrate Yu Wenbin in confusion.
Seeing their faces like this, Yu Wenbin took a few steps forward and whispered in several people's ears.
Now, after hearing the idea from the county magistrate Yu Wenbin, the faces of the yamen servants once again changed back to their original smiles.
Seeing several government officials smiling, Yu Wenbin asked: "Are you confident?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
? "
"Yes." A yamen servant said.
The other government officials nodded.
Yu Wenbin: "Okay, then do it like this. Be careful not to let anyone find out. After success, you will be sent to Jiang's house. After it is completed, your monthly money will be doubled this month."
Who wouldn't be happy about the wage increase? As long as the wage issue is mentioned, the motivation of these government servants is enough.
"Okay, young men, go now and make sure you live up to the magistrate's instructions." After saying this, the four government officials went out before the magistrate Yu Wenbin could say another word.
At this time, Xitong County was already dark, and few people were seen coming and going in the streets and alleys.
But these four government officials had already taken off their work clothes and were walking on the street. Those who didn't know better thought they were thieves who were robbing things.
Several people walked on the street with smiles on their faces, and sometimes they quietly talked about what the woman looked like.
After walking not far, they arrived at Zhang Chunxu's home.
At this moment, all the doors have been closed tightly, the kerosene lamp has been extinguished long ago, and everything around is quiet. If there is no moonlight illuminating the way forward, it would be difficult to find Zhang Chunxu's home.
"Act according to plan," a yamen servant whispered.
After hearing this, the third Yamen officer nodded.
I saw several government officials, like wild mice, jumping on the wooden box in one moment, then jumping on the roof, and quickly and carefully ran towards the roof of Zhang Chunxu's house.
As for their target, Li Xiran, he was sleeping soundly on the couch at the moment.
Damo is located in the south, and Guangnan is also located in the south. It is not very cold in March today.
Xi Ran was only half covered with a quilt, and her sleeping posture was almost exactly the same as that of women of high status.
Oh, yes, I almost forgot, Li Xiran is a maid in the palace, and a maid of the concubine. This sleeping position has certainly continued to this day.
After all these years, she has still not forgotten this rule.
Four government officials were spread out on the roof, one in a corner, carefully removing the tiles, looking for traces of the woman Yu Zhixian said.
It seemed that the tiles were a little old. When a yamen servant was moving, he accidentally broke the tiles. The broken pieces fell down and hit a sleeping person.
Looking at the grunt, it was definitely not the voice of a woman as Yu Zhixian said. After all, the grunt was almost like that of a cow.
It turned out that the snoring sound was made by Zheng Chui.
And the broken tiles and dust that fell hit him right in the face.
Fortunately, the broken piece of tile was not big, just a small piece, and it didn't feel anything at all when it fell on Zheng Chui's plump face.
Zheng Chui's snoring did not stop. Fortunately, this snoring made the government servant on the roof relax his vigilance.
The yamen servant was convinced that this was not the woman Yu Zhixian said. When he put the tiles back to their original positions, a few more broken tiles with dust fell on the fat man Zheng Chui's face.
Zheng Zhui just felt it this time, but he was so fast asleep that he knew what it was, so he just turned over and continued to sleep.
"Found it." A yamen servant whispered softly and waved his hand.
After the other two government officials saw it, they covered the tiles back and then walked over cautiously.
Fortunately, Zheng Zhui's snoring made them relax, and the sleeping people didn't feel anything was wrong.
Just as these government officials were walking past together, there was a sound and several people fell down.
