"Don't fight! Don't fight!"

The executioner was filled with anger and skillfully hit the weak nerves in He Jiu's buttocks, causing He Jiu's buttocks to turn from green to purple, and then became bloody and bloody, causing him to beg for mercy non-stop.

.

"Well played!"

Although the people were disgusted by the presiding officials who frequently resorted to punishment, when they saw Lin Haoran punishing him like this, they felt more of a kind of gritted teeth to relieve their anger and support.

If it was just inducement, that would be it, but He Jiu actually threatened He Bi and used his daughter's innocence to do so. Such a person should simply be beaten to death.

Lin Haoran was sitting in the courtroom, watching all this with a condescending look, and had no intention of sparing the villain He Jiu.

He has always rarely used punishment in cases. However, facing this evil person who has no bottom line, he is no longer merciful and wants to let He Jiu understand what it feels like to be "bullied".

He can tolerate corruption, he can tolerate selfishness, he can turn a blind eye to petty theft, but he cannot tolerate this kind of coercion.

Once, twice, three times...

In Nuoda's courtroom, there was only the sound of the execution stick being spanked, and He Jiu's screams. As the last stick fell heavily, the execution came to an end.

Although He Jiu was strong and strong, these twenty big boards caused him to suffer a lot. He crawled on the ground as if he had just experienced a serious illness.

Lin Haoran asked some more detailed questions, and He Bi answered them honestly.

The common people and scholars in the hall listened to He Bi's statement and knew that He Bi was definitely the murderer of Zeng Si. This honest and honest peasant had to help take the blame only because of He Jiu's coercion and inducement.

But they have to blame the Songjiang Prefecture officials for their inaction, not to mention that the real murderer almost escaped justice, and an honest farmer like He Bi was almost sent to the guillotine.

Seeing that the case was clear, Lin Haoran winked at the criminal clerk next to him. The clerk stood up from the small table and presented the written confession to He Bi.

Facing the confession, He Bi hesitantly raised his head and asked, "Sir, can you protect my daughter!"

Although debt was one of the reasons, he was even more worried that the He family would sell his daughter to a brothel to pay off the debt. This was also the biggest reason why he chose to take the blame for He Jiu.

"How come you are so ignorant of good and evil? I just don't punish you for harboring the murderer, but you dare to make such an unreasonable request!" The criminal clerk was famous and immediately accused him.

He Bi knew that the request was indeed too much, but he kowtowed to Lin Haoran and begged: "Master Fu Yin, please save my daughter, I am willing to work hard for you!"

Lin Haoran did not answer, but said loudly to the common people and scholars in the hall: "I am willing to exchange a pair of calligraphy treasures for twenty taels of silver to help him pay off his debt!"

"I!"

"I!"

"I!"

…

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of scholars raised their hands in the air.

But it's not that they are generous with money, but that Lin Haoran's calligraphy treasures can not only be exchanged for a mere twenty taels of silver, but also have extremely high collection value. This is a sure-profit deal.

Sun Jixiang helped select a richly dressed young master and asked that young master to wait until the public trial was over and then personally present Lin Haoran's calligraphy to him.

The young master believed in the credibility of the Shuntian government office and did not take the twenty taels seriously. He immediately took out the twenty taels of silver and handed it to Sun Jixiang, who then handed the silver taels directly to He Bi.

Lin Haoran looked at He Bi and said with full official authority: "I think that you have the heart to protect your daughter, which is a great kindness of a person, so I will help you this time! Now you return the silver to He Jiu, and I, Yin, will also

This is a testimony for you. You and the He family will be free from all debts from now on.

!If the He family dares to ask you for debts in the future, then you ask the He family to come to the governor. As for the He family if you dare to sell your daughter to a brothel, you can go to the local government to complain, or go to Shun.

If Tianfu comes to file a complaint, I will definitely help you get justice."

"The common people thank Mr. Qingtian!"

He Bi's eyes were filled with tears, and he seemed extremely excited. He first drew a confession on it, and then knocked hard on Lin Haoran nine times, until his forehead broke.

Why!

The common people and scholars in the hall saw what Lin Haoran did. Even the most picky people felt that Lin Haoran was worthy of the name of Qingtian and was indeed the great savior of the poor people.

He Bi ignored the blood on his forehead and solemnly handed the silver back to He Jiu.

This debt has been with him almost throughout his life. He thought he could only settle it with his life, which could be regarded as a "relief" for his son. However, he never expected that when he came to the capital, he would take a turn for the worse and meet a real Qingtian.

Grandpa.

He Jiu looked at the silver in front of him, hesitant on his face.

"Sign the receipt!" Lin Haoran gave the scribe a wink, and then said calmly to He Jiu.

He Jiu really wanted to refuse. After all, he wanted to use this to blackmail He Bi into taking the blame, rather than accept this mere twenty taels of silver. He had only seen Lin Haoran's methods, and he had no good reason to refuse, so in the end

Reluctantly, he signed the document.

After Lin Haoran settled the debt dispute, he knew that he was only overturning the Songjiang Mansion's conclusion and that the case was not over yet. He looked at He Jiu and asked seriously: "He Jiu, can you plead guilty?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on He Jiu who was crawling on the ground. If He Jiu admitted his crime here and admitted that he was the real culprit of Zeng Si's murder, then the case would be concluded successfully.

"Lord Fu Yin, what are the crimes of the grassroots? Is it possible that you want to beat the grassroots into submission?" He Jiu suddenly became energetic, with a sarcastic smile on his face, and he replied very toughly.

Why……

Although everyone had already guessed this answer, when He Jiu gave the answer, they were inevitably disappointed. Especially looking at He Jiu's appearance, it was clear that he was a hard-core person, who typically did not shed tears until he saw the coffin.

of evildoers.

"Bring a witness!"

Lin Haoran was stunned and gave instructions to the servants below.

But Zeng Aniu, whom he had not seen for a long time, was brought to court. Now he has been settled in the capital.

When Zeng Aniu saw He Jiu lying on the ground, he felt relieved. When he came to the hall, he knelt down and said honestly, "Zeng Aniu, a common man, paid homage to Lord Fu Yin!"

Lin Haoran asked in a business-like manner: "Zeng Aniu, the person who killed your uncle Zeng Si was the person next to you!"

"Exactly!" Zeng Aniu glanced at He Jiu who was crawling on the ground and replied decisively.

"My lord, this is unjust. Zeng Aniu and I had a grudge in the past. The scar on his forehead was caused by a villain. His testimony cannot be trusted!" He Jiu seemed to have already said something, and immediately yelled loudly.

Zeng Aniu immediately accused angrily: "He Jiu, do you still want to make excuses now? I clearly saw you beating my uncle Zeng Si to death that day. Don't deny it anymore!"

"I have nothing against Zeng Si, why should I kill him!" He Jiu's face did not change, and he retorted with confidence.

The corners of Lin Haoran's mouth raised slightly, and he ordered to the audience again: "Send the witnesses again!"
