Chapter Sixteen

When Wu Kui came to the court, he saw Wu Jing kneeling beside him. When he saw Yue Su pointing at him, he smiled and said, "Of course I know him. This is Wu Jing, the chief steward of my house. I don't know why he offended your lord.

Kneel down in the lobby."

"You are asking knowingly." Yue Su shouted loudly: "He came to the county government on your order to bribe the official. The bribe of three hundred taels of silver is irrefutable proof. What else can you say? Isn't it a crime to bribe the imperial official?

Why don’t you kneel down before me!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the officers on both sides immediately shouted loudly: "Might... Wu..."

"Hahahaha..." Unexpectedly, Wu Kui laughed heartily, "Sir, how can you listen to one side of the story? It is true that Wu Jing is the steward of my house, but I did not let him bribe the prince. This matter is still

Please look into it and clear my name."

"I will investigate clearly." Yue Su shouted loudly: "Wu Jing, who appointed you to bribe me, but you still haven't recruited me truthfully."

"Replying to your lord..." Wu Jing raised his head and said: "Cao Min was not entrusted by anyone, but he had a close relationship with his brother Wu Sheng. He knew that he beat people and was afraid that he would be sued, so he bribed your lord in private in order to get rid of the law.

Show mercy and spare him this time. I didn't expect that the adults are so ruthless. The common people are regretting it now. I hope that the adults will be merciful and forgive the common people. They will definitely change their ways in the future. This matter was all the idea of ​​the common people. Please do it with others.

Your Majesty, please take this for granted."

"Really?" Yue Su turned to look at Xia Kuan and sneered: "Just now, when you and Sun Dacheng came to see me, I remembered that you said that these silvers were given to me by Master Wu Mansion, right?

"

Xia Kuan stood up quickly and said, "I also heard what Sun Dacheng said. This guy's crime is extremely heinous, and he didn't tell the truth. I was deceived by him. Please be careful and don't believe this guy's nonsense."

"So that's it." Yue Su looked at Wu Jing again and said: "Bringing an official of the imperial court is a serious crime. At your age, if you admit it, you will probably be in prison for the rest of your life. You have to think carefully. If you do it truthfully,

, I can also do favors outside the law, so please consider it carefully."

"Reporting to your lord, this matter was indeed done by a common man and was instigated by others. It's too late to regret it now. I hope your lord will take a lighter punishment." After Wu Jing finished speaking, he kept kowtowing.

"Okay, I'm still a loyal slave." Seeing that Wu Jing was willing to bear the blame alone, Yue Su decided to punish Wu Kui. He gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Then I will pronounce the verdict. Wu Jing is suspected of being suspected.

The crime of bribing an official of the imperial court is found guilty. Come here, let him sign it!"

Yue Su was also used to being a policeman and had been to the court before. This time it was good, he actually used the tone of a modern judge when pronouncing the sentence. Fortunately, he still remembered that in TV costume dramas, the conclusion of a case requires a signature.

The administrative clerk had been taking notes. When he heard the adult speak, he quickly brought the written confession to Wu Jing and asked him to sign it.

After that, Yue Su said loudly: "Wu Jing bribed the imperial officials and was sentenced to eighty years of imprisonment and seven years of imprisonment. Now the execution will be carried out!" After saying this, he threw down the fire lot.

There are several kinds of fire signs in the county government, some are for holding people, and some are for making boards. Just after Tong Zhou left, Yue Su carefully studied the signs on the table, and then he realized that it turned out that arresting people also requires giving.

The officer gave the fire sign. However, the smell of gunpowder was strong at that time. Although the boy was not given the sign, he immediately took the order. Moreover, when he first came to the hall to beat the Wu family's concubine, if he knew the rules and threw down the fire sign, at that time,

I'm afraid no one dares not to take action.

"Yes!" When the officer saw Yue Su throwing away eight fire sticks, he didn't dare to neglect. He pushed Wu Jing to the ground, picked up the board, and started to crackle.

The Wu family has always been a high-ranking presence in Yangshuo County. Not only is it rich, but Mr. Wu's son-in-law Sun Dacheng is also the chief arrester in the county, so no one dares to offend the Wu family. Usually only the Wu family bullies others. I haven't heard of the Wu family yet.

of people were bullied.

Now I was beating the head butler of the Wu Mansion in court. I was still scared at first, but after a few strikes, I saw that no one in the Wu family dared to say a word, and I became more courageous. Summarizing in my mind, it turns out that the Wu family is nothing more than this, a paper tiger at best.

When I met the county magistrate, I was still not honest.

The next board was much more serious, and Wu Jing screamed in pain, and the several guards became more and more energetic. Besides, the elder was watching from above. Look at the posture, it is impossible to say that there is no blood.

No matter who gets hit by the eighty-year plank, he or she will have to live half his life, or at least he won't be able to get out of bed for a month. Wu Jing is a practicing master, and when he comes down from the eighty-point plank, his skin and flesh are all torn apart.

I no longer have the strength to shout.

"Your Majesty, the execution has been completed."

Yue Su said: "Take me to the prison." After saying that, a pair of eyes stared at the people in the Wu Mansion. Wu Kui and Wu Sheng gritted their teeth, while the four evil slaves were so frightened that their legs trembled. In their hearts, they had always been

Even a majestic butler could be beaten like this.

After Wu Jing was carried away, Yue Su no longer looked at Wu Kui and others, but shouted loudly: "Bring the accuser Wang San to the hall."

As early as when Wu Kui and others came to the court, Yue Su had already asked Jin Chan to take the Yamen servants to carry Wang San. After waiting at the pavilion, he heard the sound of wooden boards in front of him. Jin Chan was very excited. Wang San did not expect this.

A new master actually dared to beat a member of the Wu family, and he beat him so hard. It looked like he really had an official who made decisions for the people.

Lifting Wang San to the lobby, Yue Su asked loudly: "Wang San, you said your legs were broken by someone, but you still remember the face of the person who beat you."

"Xiao Min, remember." Wang San said loudly.

"Then identify yourself. The person who hit you is in the hall."

When Wang San was carried up from behind, he had already seen Wu Sheng and the four evil slaves, who were the ones who injured him last night. He immediately replied, "Report to your lord, they are all in the hall, and he is the leader..."

As he spoke, he pointed at Wu Sheng, and then said: "The hands of the four people behind you."

"Very good." Yue Su slapped the gavel tree and said loudly: "Wu Sheng, you maliciously hurt others and caused Wang San's legs to break. What can you say? Why don't you kneel down in front of me!"

"Might... Wu..." "Kneel down..." The officers were now in high spirits and shouted loudly one by one.

Wu Sheng also knew that if you don't kneel at this time, you will be humiliating yourself. Someone will push you to the ground soon. It's better to be conscious. Kneeling in the lobby, the four evil slaves saw the second housekeeper.

They knelt down, but they still dared to stand. They knelt down together tremblingly. "The common people know their guilt."

"Wu Sheng, I'm here to ask you again, what is the grudge between you and Wang San, why did you take such a heavy blow, and whether there was someone behind it, why don't you tell me the truth."

"This..." Wu Sheng hesitated and said: "The Cao Min originally had an enmity with Wang San because my sixth wife was humiliated in court yesterday. It was all because of him. The villain was not angry, so he took his servants to beat him.

Wang San, there are people instigating me behind the scenes, so I ask you to be clear-minded. If you are merciful outside the law, you can be given a lighter sentence."

"It turns out that you beat Wang San because your sixth wife was humiliated in the lobby yesterday. I am also responsible for what happened in the lobby yesterday. Why didn't you come to the county government to beat me?" Yue Su was stunned.

He slapped him and shouted sharply.

"Common people don't dare." Wu Sheng didn't dare to raise his head. The four evil slaves didn't even dare to answer.

"What a bully who bullies the weak and is afraid of the strong. According to you, his methods are more ruthless, so that others will not dare to report them when they are wronged. If you are not dealt with severely today, and everyone in the world follows suit, I will... How can the Ming Dynasty...

Unless evil people run rampant, the country will not be a country!" Yue Su was so excited that he almost came to China again, and he was still changing his words very quickly.

Yue Su followed up and said: "Who among you four evil slaves was the first to beat Wang San? Tell me your name."

The four servants looked at each other, knowing in their hearts that the one who took action first might be guilty of a heavier crime, and no one dared to admit it. They just knelt on the ground shivering, and no one dared to answer.

Seeing that they didn't say anything, Yue Su stopped asking and said loudly: "Since everyone admits it, the four of them are all the first accomplices. Wu Sheng took private revenge and ordered his thugs to injure Wang San, causing him to become disabled. He confessed in court.

, come here, let them sign and deposit it."

The clerk made a list of confessions and went over to have the five people sign their signatures. Wu Sheng just paid it back. The four evil servants were all aggrieved. He was just following orders, but he was also implicated. I don't know what the elder would decide.

Criminal Law. However, Wu Sheng's residual power is still there, and no one dares to say more. After all, Wu Kui is still alive. Don't lose your life because of talking too much.

After the painting was in custody, Yue Su pronounced the sentence in court, "Wu Sheng ordered four evil slaves to seriously injure Wang San, causing him to be disabled. The circumstances are serious, and he should not be punished severely to set an example. The principal offender Wu Sheng was sentenced to sixty years of imprisonment, and was imprisoned for three years.

Wang San will be compensated twenty taels of medical expenses; one of the four accomplices confessed as the first accomplice, so they are all the first accomplices, and sentenced to forty canes and one year in prison." After saying this, he threw down the fire lot.

A group of officers showed their arms and rolled up their sleeves, held the five people down, and started beating them in the hall. The sound of "ping ping ping ping pong" was endless. When Wu Kui saw his family being beaten, his old face was so ugly that it was so humiliating.

This was the first time he had encountered such a humiliation. What was the difference between being slapped in the face?

Many people gathered outside the lobby to watch the excitement. When they saw the two housekeepers of Wu Mansion being beaten together with the evil slaves, they screamed in pain and were sentenced to imprisonment. People were really happy and everyone clapped and applauded.

.

After imprisoning a group of prisoners, Yue Su withdrew, and Wu Kui left angrily. There were six of them when they came, but only one when they left. How could this not make people angry?

Yue Su came to Hou Yamen, found the boy, and called all the people with duties in the Yamen, not to mention the chief clerk, the warden, and the heads of the male and female prisons. They all called over, and they all met each other.

We met, got to know each other, and gave each other a few words of advice. Finally, Yue Su said: "Tong Baotou, I have two followers here. One is Jin Chan and the other is Tie Qiu. They are both very skilled. It happens that there are two head catchers in the yamen.

If there is a vacancy, I intend to let the two of them fill it, what do you think?"

The position of arresting the head is a first-class important position in the county government. No matter who becomes the county magistrate, he will send his confidants to take the job. Everyone knows this kind of thing. Yue Su said this for Tong Zhou.

To save some face, Tong Zhou immediately replied: "I have no objection, it all depends on the orders of the adults."
