The yamen servant came out, grabbed Wang Wu and started to pull up his belt and unbutton his trousers.
Wang Wu felt cold all over. You must know that this is a leap month in November, it is winter, and the snow outside has not yet melted...
"I confess, I confess, last night, someone gave me ten thousand dollars to frame the Sugar Store and Gu Zhengchen."
Wang Wu had already confessed before he was beaten.
Zhang San looked very ugly. Why should he give ten guan of money to others but five guan of money to himself? I took the same risk and violated my conscience!
Zhang San, who was not worried about scarcity but about inequality, immediately shouted: "The person who gave me the money claimed to be the steward of Pingliang Hou Mansion. He also said that if I don't cooperate, I will be drowned in the Qinhuai River. I also asked the official to make the decision for me." !”
Fei Ju's face was livid, he stood up suddenly and shouted sternly: "You dare to frame the Hou Mansion, I think you don't want to live anymore!"
Zhang San and Wang Wu immediately fell silent.
Zhang Yulin looked at Fei Ju and said seriously: "Marquis Pingliang, the matter has come to this, please be quiet for a moment."
Muying came and the situation changed.
Although Mu Ying was young at this time, in her early twenties, this man was the adopted son of the emperor and was highly valued and trusted.
If a civil servant wants to report something, except for the court, he basically can only go to Zhongshu Province. But Mu Ying is different. This person is the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. He not only holds military power, but can also enter the palace at any time.
For Mu Ying, the palace was her own place. Even Queen Ma did not shy away from Mu Ying, treating him as her own son and inviting him to the harem to talk from time to time.
The weight of Mu Ying's words is different from that of the people in the pro-army captain's house. The pro-army captain's house is a close guard and in the final analysis is a servant. If they say a few unpleasant words, the emperor may not take it seriously. But if Mu Ying is serious, The emperor's attitude is likely to change. What's more, at this juncture, there is no point in letting Fei Ju use the name of Pingliang Marquis Mansion to pressure others.
Fei Ju looked at Zhang Yulin coldly, angrily: "Yin Zhang has such great official power. He has only been the governor for a few days, and he dares to speak like this to the founding prince. If you continue to be the governor for three more years, how can you do it?" Don’t you even take His Majesty for granted?”
Zhang Yulin had a headache.
The Fei Ju in front of me was not only a rough and reckless man, but also too arrogant. He relied on his status as the founding hero of the country and did not take civil servants seriously at all!
Zhang Yulin stood up, took off his official hat in front of everyone's astonished eyes, placed it on the table, and asked sternly: "If Marquis Pingliang repeatedly interferes in the trial, how about sitting here and wearing this official hat?"
Fei Ju looked at the serious Zhang Yulin and was about to curse when Mu Ying quickly pulled Fei Ju aside.
Zhang Yulin simply stopped wearing his official hat. He was shocked and yelled: "Li Laowu and Zhao Jiu, I give you one last chance. Once you get false evidence, don't think about where you will go!" If you tell the truth, it is the duty of Yingtian Mansion to keep you safe, after all, you are also the people of Yingtian Mansion!"
Zhao Jiu was so ashamed that Li Laowu touched his head to the ground and cried in repentance.
Give money to change your mind, it's that simple.
Zhang Yulin looked at Fei Qiang and scolded sternly: "So, you took advantage of the situation and tried to rob the girl. As a result, you pushed down the guardrail of the sugar store. You also got into a fight with the clerk and shopkeeper of the sugar store because they blocked them, injuring several people. You even bribed people to give perjury, right?"
Fei Qiang didn't expect that the good operation would stop working, so he quickly looked at Fei Ju.
Fei Ju was pulled by Mu Ying and couldn't move, but the testimonies from the audience revealed that Fei Qiang was so unbearable!
He lied to himself!
Yes, I still trust this guy too much. Think about it, in Jinling City, when he was the only one who bullied others, how had he ever been bullied by others!
Fei Ju found it hard to accept that the good boy in his eyes suddenly became a bad boy. Not only did he have bad deeds, he also learned to deceive himself with others and use lies to cover up the truth!
"Can you plead guilty?"
Zhang Yulin asked again.
Fei Ju looked at Fei Qiang, who was still quibbling, and walked over regardless of Mu Ying's obstruction.
Fei Qiang seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and shouted: "Father, I was framed..."
Snapped!
Fei Ju slapped Fei Qiang with such force that he fell to the ground.
Fei Qiang felt his head was buzzing, and he could no longer hear any sound. Before he could say a word, he was kicked back a few steps by a powerful force, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Fei Ju ignored the embarrassed Fei Qiang, put away his feet, and looked sideways at Gu Zhengchen: "Are you satisfied now?"
Gu Zhengchen looked at Fei Ju who was fierce and murderous, and replied coldly: "What does the Marquis of Pingliang mean? The crimes he committed will be judged by the government, so what does it have to do with my satisfaction?"
Fei Ju turned around and looked at Zhang Yulin and asked, "How will Fei Qiang's crime be judged?"
Zhang Yulin did not dare to completely offend the Pingliang Hou Mansion. Seeing that Fei Ju wanted to end the case, he quickly said: "Fei Qiang smashed the sugar shop and ordered the guards to beat the clerk and shopkeeper. The injuries were relatively minor. He wanted to rob the girl. In view of the If he fails to stop, he can be punished lightly. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, Fei Qiang will be punished for multiple crimes. He should be flogged forty times and fined twenty guan as compensation."
Gu Zhengchen stared.
Zhang Fuyin's method is very powerful. He dared to say that it was a minor injury before he examined the injury. He had already taken action to rob a civilian girl, but he actually said that it was an "attempt to stop". When he said this, it seemed that Fei Qiang had a conscience. Found so-so!
Obviously he should be punished with a cane, but he was only sentenced to flogging, which was still forty!
Fei Ju looked at the small piece of bamboo that the yamen servant took out, stepped forward to grab it, and slapped Fei Qiang randomly. The intensity and the scream were shocking.
After forty blows, Fei Ju dropped the piece of bamboo and looked at Gu Zhengchen: "Twenty guan, we will deliver it to your door. It's just that Gu Zhixian needs to be careful when doing things in the future, even when walking, you have to keep an eye on it. , When a horse stumbles, so does a man!"
Gu Zhengchen looked at Fei Ju who was threatening him and saw Fei Ju mention Fei Qiang, who was all injured, and walked out and said, "What does the Marquis of Pingliang mean? He wants to take someone away. Isn't that appropriate?"
Fei Ju was stunned for a moment and said with a gloomy face: "The whipping has been carried out, why can't we leave? Zhang Fuyin, do you dare to stop me?"
Zhang Yulin said quickly: "I don't dare, I don't dare."
Gu Zhengchen suddenly looked at Zhang Yulin and asked loudly: "Zhang Fuyin, as the prefect of Yingtian, you have even forgotten the rules of law enforcement? When did lynching count as a public punishment? According to the imperial court's decree, in law enforcement, you need to use Yamen! Are you insulting the Marquis of Pingliang and treating him as a Yamen, or are you neglecting your duties and disobeying the law?"
Zhang Yulin's eyes darkened. Mom, this Gu Zhengchen is really brave. Aren't you afraid of the Pingliang Hou Mansion's revenge?
Of course Gu Zhengchen is afraid!
Fear can't solve the problem. Fei Ju doesn't distinguish right from wrong and insists on taking revenge on himself. Now that we've broken up, what's there to worry about?
Zhang Yulin had no choice but to order the government officials to take action and flog him for forty years.
Fei Ju was depressed: Did I fight in vain?
Fei Qiang wanted to vomit blood: Did I get a beating in vain?
