Outside the county government office, there were crowds of people watching the excitement.
In the county government hall, Ding Mingcheng put on an official uniform and looked at Chen Fa in the audience with a majestic look.
At this time, Chen Fan still looked indifferent, and there was even a smile on the corner of his mouth.
When Ding Mingcheng saw this, a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Let's see how long you can keep pretending."
Ding Mingcheng whispered.
"Snapped."
I saw Ding Mingcheng pick up the gavel and pat it hard.
"Chen Fan, you can plead guilty."
Ding Mingcheng shouted loudly to Chen Fan.
"The kid didn't commit any crime, so how can he plead guilty?"
Chen Fan looked at Ding Mingcheng with an innocent face and said.
Hearing this, Ding Mingcheng showed a sneer on his face.
"Chen Fan, the news that you bribed the bandits was heard by Mr. Kong with his own ears."
"I also found the five thousand taels of silver you gave to the bandits in their lair."
"The witnesses and material evidence are all there, how else do you want to make excuses?"
Ding Mingcheng shouted.
However, how could Chen Fan be frightened by him? He still looked calm and composed.
"How can you ensure that Mr. Kong will not lie and wrongfully accuse me?"
"As for the silver, it's even more ridiculous. Does it have my name written on it?"
"Does all the five thousand taels in the world belong to me, Chen Fan?"
Chen Fan refuted them one by one.
Before Ding Mingcheng could say anything, Kong Wenbo stood up with an angry face.
"Nonsense."
"I am a direct descendant of the Kong family. How could I wrongly accuse you, a descendant?"
"You dare to slander me when you are about to die. Such a person will not tell the truth without being punished."
Kong Wenbo pointed at Chen Fan and gritted his teeth and said angrily.
"How dare you slander Mr. Kong, Chen Fan, you really deserve it!"
"Master Ding, let's punish him! We have to use some means to deal with such evil people."
"If you slander Mr. Kong, you deserve to be beaten to death."
…
At this time, the scholars outside all said loudly.
Each one is louder than the other.
It was as if they wanted Kong Wenbo to notice them.
After hearing these words, Ding Mingcheng looked at Chen Fan with a proud face.
"Chen Fan, I will let you taste all the torture instruments here. I will see how stubborn you can be."
"You don't know these torture instruments yet! I will introduce them to you one by one."
Ding Mingcheng said with a sneer.
After saying that, he took the initiative to walk down.
On the left side of the court hall is a place where various torture instruments are placed.
Looking at these instruments of torture in front of him, Ding Mingcheng's eyes suddenly shone with excitement.
Ding Mingcheng picked up a long stick.
"This is called a killing stick. One hit with the stick will make your butt bloom."
"This is called a pinch stick. Put your fingers on it, and then pull hard on both sides, connecting your fingers to your heart. You will feel the bones of your fingers break bit by bit."
"This is called the Tiger Bench. Tie you to it and put bricks on it. For someone like you, at least three bricks should be placed on it."
"this is……"
…
Ding Mingcheng introduced all these torture instruments to Chen Fan in great detail.
It was obvious that Ding Mingcheng was very familiar with these instruments of torture.
Just hearing Ding Mingcheng's explanation made those people outside have goosebumps all over their bodies.
But Chen Fan, on the other hand, still looked indifferent.
It was as if he was waiting for these instruments of torture to stop being used on him.
"Chen Fan, tell me which torture instrument you want to start with. I will listen to you."
Ding Mingcheng looked at Chen Fan with a sneer and said.
"Master Ding, are you going to torture me?"
Chen Fan looked at Ding Mingcheng calmly and said.
Seeing Chen Fan so calm, Ding Mingcheng felt angry in his heart.
"Chen Fan, don't think that just because Liu Siye and Lord Fang appreciate you, you can do whatever you want?"
"Don't forget, you are going to attack Mr. Kong this time. Even if those two adults know about it, they will never protect you."
"If you haven't confessed yet, then I will have no choice but to let you try the torture instruments here one by one."
Ding Mingcheng shouted coldly.
"Someone is coming."
"First hit him with twenty sticks with the killing stick."
Ding Mingcheng said to the official beside him.
At this time, two officers were about to come over and hold Chen Fan down, and one officer was about to get the killing stick.
"Wait a moment."
At this time, Chen Fan said.
Hearing Chen Fan's words, Ding Mingcheng thought that Chen Fan was asking for mercy, and a proud smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
"What? Are you afraid now?"
"It's too late now."
Ding Mingcheng said with a smile.
However, Chen Fan did not speak at this time, but reached into his arms and took out a jade pendant.
When they saw Chen Fan taking out this jade pendant, Ding Mingcheng and everyone present showed doubts.
Why do you take out the jade pendant at this time?
Could it be that this jade pendant can still save him?
"Master Ding may recognize this thing."
Chen Fan said, picked up the jade pendant and said to Ding Mingcheng.
Ding Mingcheng glanced at Chen Fan's jade pendant, and then his eyes suddenly showed disdain.
"It's just a broken jade pendant."
"Chen Fan, don't waste your time, just accept the punishment!"
Ding Mingcheng said disdainfully.
"Here, come immediately..."
"Bold Ding Mingcheng, you dare to insult the current Holy Emperor. What crime do you deserve?"
Before Ding Mingcheng finished speaking, Chen Fan shouted loudly.
Chen Fan's sudden voice made Ding Mingcheng tremble.
"Chen...Chen Fan, please stop talking nonsense. When did I insult the emperor?"
Ding Ming immediately denied it.
"This jade pendant belongs to the current emperor. You said it is a broken jade pendant. Isn't this an insult to the current emperor? What is it?"
Chen Fan said with a serious face.
Hearing this, Ding Mingcheng was stunned for a while, and then burst into laughter.
"Chen Fan, you are a country bumpkin, will the emperor give you a jade pendant?"
"I think you were frightened!"
"That piece of fake jade pendant pretends to be the current Holy Emperor. This is a serious crime. No one can save you this time."
Ding Mingcheng said with a smile.
People outside the county government also laughed and thought Chen Fan was crazy.
Seeing everyone's ridicule, Chen Fan also showed a smile at this time.
"The emperor will naturally not give me this thing, but Master Fang will give it to me!"
Chen Fan said with a smile.
As soon as Chen Fan said these words, everyone present widened their eyes.
Everyone has forgotten the relationship between Chen Fan and Fang Zhengru.
Fang Zhengru was the emperor's teacher, so it was normal for the emperor to give him a jade pendant.
And Fang Zhengru valued Chen Fan very much, so it was very possible for him to give this jade pendant to Chen Fan.
Naturally, ordinary people would not dare to transfer gifts from the emperor to others, but Fang Zhengru was the emperor's teacher.
The emperor had to bow when he saw him.
He gave this jade pendant to Chen Fan, and naturally no one said anything.
Just now everyone looked down upon this jade pendant, thinking it was just a bargain.
But at this time, everyone suddenly felt that this piece of jade was as soft and delicate as clouds. It was really a fine jade!
"This...is this really the emperor's jade pendant?"
Ding Mingcheng said with a look of disbelief.
Hearing this, Chen Fan smiled lightly and said, "If you don't believe it, you can ask the emperor!"
How could Ding Mingcheng dare to ask the emperor?
"This jade pendant has been worn by the emperor since childhood. Seeing this jade pendant is like seeing the emperor himself."
"Bold Ding Mingcheng, he didn't even kneel down when he saw the emperor."
Chen Fan shouted angrily.
