Li Shan, who was forced to kneel in front of the prefect Gu Jiantong, had a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
Thinking of his wife's death, Li Shan sometimes cursed at the official.
Listening to these unpleasant curses, the prefect Gu Jiantong endured the pain and sat back on the official chair. After relaxing, he looked at Li Shan with an ugly and angry face.
After a while, the prefect Gu Jiantong smiled slightly and said: "Since you are so reckless, I will play with you." After saying that, the prefect Gu Jiantong gave the order: "Come here! Burn incense!"
Hearing this, the officials in the yamen had no choice but to do as the prefect Gu Jiantong said.
Soon, a basin came over with an unlit incense stick on it.
"Put it there." Gu Jiantong looked at the corner of the table in front of him.
Looking at the incense, Li Shan, who was forced to kneel under the stage, became quieter. Perhaps he was attracted by this strange scene.
After looking at the incense laid out, the prefect Gu Jiantong said: "Let's do this. After half an hour, if my injury no longer hurts, I will spare your life; if after half an hour, my injury will not hurt anymore." If the injury hurts, then you can beat yourself against the board until you die."
Hearing this, Li Shan, who was forced to kneel under the stage, became even more angry.
Look at that grinning look like a vicious dog.
"What? Are you not convinced? If you have the ability, give me another punch?" Magistrate Gu Jiantong said.
Listening to these words again, Li Shan, who was forced to kneel in the audience, could no longer bear it. It could be said that he had never endured it. He wanted to break away from the tight pressure around him, but he was unable to break free.
"Dog officer!" After Li Shan yelled, he spit out the saliva in his mouth, but fortunately it did not reach the prefect Gu Jiantong.
Seeing this, Gu Jiantong, the prefect, chose not to offend him. He picked up the tea cup on the table and was about to drink tea. He was about to take a sip when he realized that the tea was gone.
"Yuan Chuang." Magistrate Gu looked at the servant Yuan Chuang beside him.
After hearing the master's cry, Yuan Chuang hurriedly fetched tea leaves and helped make tea.
After the tea was brewed, the prefect Gu Jiantong picked up the tea cup and continued to drink.
At the yamen gate, the people who had no patience to wait had dispersed, and those who could stay were those who had nothing to do and were patient.
Several officials, big and small, were sitting in the hall, feeling a little thirsty as they watched the prefect Gu Jiantong drink tea from time to time.
But in this government office, he is the boss, but no one dares to mess with him.
Li Xiang and young Li Yin looked left and right in the audience, still in a sad mood.
A stick of incense in a basin on the corner of the trial table was almost half-burned at this time.
Seeing this, Gu Jiantong, the prefect, calmly put down his tea cup, looked at Li Shan's father and daughter kneeling in front of the hall, and smiled slightly.

After pondering the words for a while, Magistrate Gu finally spoke: "Li Shan, it seems that you will not be able to go back alive today."
Hearing this, Li Shan had already expected what Magistrate Gu would say.
Thinking about his wife's death, Li Shan couldn't calm down. It was all death anyway, so Li Shan no longer had to be restrained.
"Dog officer!"
"An ugly thing, with a look that is neither human nor ghost, comes out to scare people. Let me tell you, Grandpa, I have lived for more than fifty years, and this is the first time I have seen someone as ugly as you. It's really not good. Do you know how your wife lives with you..."
Listening to these curse words from Li Shan, it was the first time that the prefect Gu Jiantong saw someone dare to insult him like this. He was so angry that he threw the tea cup on the table towards Li Shan.
The tea cup fell in front of Li Shan, the tea was torn into pieces, and part of the water even splashed onto Li Shan's cloth.
"You brought this death on your own." Magistrate Gu said with bared teeth, then looked at the government servants with an angry face and said: "Drag them down! Beat them to death!"
Seeing this, the government officials who were escorting Li Shan pulled him out and dragged him to the place where he had just been executed, where he continued to be beaten.
Seeing his father being sent out to be beaten, the young Li Yin cried and begged: "Prefect! Please! Please let my father go! Please!"
Listening to the shouting, listening to the crying, seeing the child begging for mercy, and thinking about what his father had just said to him, the prefect Gu Jiantong looked at Li Yin with a hateful face and said: "You If you cry and shout again, I will beat you to death just like your father!"
Magistrate Gu Jiantong's words not only did not stop Li Yin's crying, but the crying became even louder.
Listening to the annoying crying, looking at the angry look on the face of the prefect Gu Jiantong, thinking that he was his only relative now, Li Xiang hurriedly moved over and covered his brother Li Yin's mouth with one hand.
Seeing the actions of the siblings made Gu Jiantong, the prefect, feel a little better.
Looking at the gavel in front of him, thinking that this was the end of the matter, Gu Jiantong, the prefect, picked up the gavel, slapped it on the table, and shouted: "Quit!"
These words freed the surrounding officials. As soon as they got up, they were a little numb after sitting for so long.
As soon as he left the court, the prefect Gu Jiantong did not go to the place where he was handling official business, but went to the front yard of the Yamen, thinking of giving him some color before he died.
Before he reached the place, he saw the hatred on Magistrate Gu's face getting bigger and bigger. Looking at this face, it seemed as if everyone in the world had offended him.
As I walked closer and closer, I didn't hear the shouting, but I could hear the banging of the board clearly.
At this time, Li Shan's forehead was already covered with sweat, and his teeth were clenched tightly.
Look like this

, which made Magistrate Gu feel a little relieved.
"Hey, you're still holding up. Didn't I beat you to death?" Magistrate Gu Jiantong smiled slightly.
With a strong voice, Li Shan raised his head, looked at the magistrate, and still cursed: "dog officer."
"Oh, you're still scolding me. You can scold me all you want. As hard as you scold me, I will let them beat you as hard as you want." Gu Jiantong said.
Thinking that he was going to die, it would be nice if he could curse a few more words before he died, so Li Shan started to curse.
"Dog officer!"
"I bother!"
After hearing these words, Magistrate Gu's face became serious. He looked at the torture officer behind him and shouted: "Hit me hard!"
With the prefect's voice, the two government officials put all their strength into the board they were holding tightly in their hands, raised the board, and pointed it toward Li Shan's buttocks, who was lying on the bench.
This pain made Li Shan grit his teeth. Li Shan never thought that one day he would be tortured to death by this board.
"Shout again." Gu Jiantong said.
Li Shan: "If you dare to treat your grandfather like this, I will definitely curse you when I go to heaven. Curse your whole family to die early."
Gu Jiantong: "Hit!"
Just like that, to be honest, he didn't curse much, but every word he cursed was harsh. In addition, every time he cursed, the force on the board became more cruel. It didn't take long for Li Shan to die.
Seeing the man dead, the prefect Gu Jiantong just walked towards the place where he was conducting official business.
Afterwards, Wen Tongzhi came to make arrangements for the two bodies.
"This is some money, so the government office can give you some compensation." Wen Tongzhi handed the two taels of silver in his hand to his sister Li Xiang.
After receiving these two taels of silver, although it was not much, it was enough for the two of them to live for a while. Of course, this prerequisite was a small amount of money.
"Thank you, officer." Li Xiang said.
Looking at the siblings and thinking about their parents, Wen Tong understood: "Although your parents are gone, I hope that you siblings can live well and never do stupid things, let alone act like Just like your father."
"Yeah." Li Xiang responded.
Seeing that there was nothing more to say, the prefect Gu Jiantong came over and said: "In that case, you can arrange your parents' funeral arrangements. I have important matters to attend to, so I will leave first."
"Okay." Li Xiang responded.
Looking at the two taels of silver in his hand, Li Xiang packed it up.
"Sister, will you take care of me?" asked my younger brother Li Yin.
Listening to his brother's words, although the two were enemies in the past, now that his parents are gone, and seeing that he is still so young, Li Xiang knows that if he doesn't care about his biological brother, he may not be able to live alone.
Li Xiang chose to put aside the previous hatred between the two of them and responded: "Yes."
