Chapter seven hundred and forty fourth punishment department
Walking straight to the man who called himself Pan Fu, Ma Ze stretched out his hand and pressed the open wound on his upper body and sneered: "You heard it, your county magistrate is used to being pampered, and he won't be able to stand it for long before he gets sick.
By then it will be too late if you want to say anything else."
"Ah... Sir, little... little ones..."
"Oh, it's just that our little one was taken advantage of, but don't forget, I'm not a vegetarian either. It really caused me to do the wrong thing, and all of you, young and old, don't even think of ending up with something good!"
"You are a dignified official of the imperial court, how...how..."
The man was extremely miserable and desperate. The Pan family used coercion and inducement to ask him to pay off the debt and promised to take care of him and his son. They thought it would be a big deal if they could change the medicine for my mother and make a way out for their son.
.
But I didn't expect that this official, who was more prestigious than the county magistrate, would be so ruthless, and it was difficult to decide whether to advance or retreat. Is there any way for people to survive in this world?
One of the executioners took out a red-hot iron from the charcoal fire and said in a vicious voice: "If you don't eat the toast, you will have to drink the fine wine, right? You were born a cheap boy. The official Lang asked you just to give you a way out. I don't want to catch you."
, it seems that I really want to see how many eyes Lord Ma has!"
At this moment, Chen Mingjie, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, frowned and led Tu Jie, the political counselor of the Zhongshu Province, and Chen Ning, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, inside. All the officers of the Ministry of Punishment hurriedly stood up to pay their respects, no matter what they were doing.
Both of these officials were recently promoted. Hu Weiyong had actually been in control of the government for a period of time before the emperor returned from his northern tour, so he naturally did not hesitate to promote his closest subordinates.
Of course, this was also approved by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It is impossible for the prime minister to make the transfer of officials of this level by himself, but even Hu Weiyong himself was surprised that it went so smoothly...
Ma Ze was naturally no exception. He was only a fifth-rank official, and only a second-rank official when he was involved in political affairs. However, he immediately felt a strong sense of vigilance in his heart. With such a status, it was impossible to come here for no reason.
Neither Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment nor Tu Jie spoke. Chen Ning glanced around and then said to Ma Ze: "The official punishment will be announced soon, so why should we torture it so severely? With such scars, it is inevitable that it is a sign of being beaten. Why?
To convince the public?"
"Back to the Minister, I still have some doubts about this, so..."
Tu Jie suddenly smiled at the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice beside him and said: "This is just a matter of one county. If it weren't for the coincidence of time and Datian heard about it, it wouldn't have been like this. The prime minister also repeatedly asked that it be better to get married as soon as possible.
"
Chen Mingjie's brows furrowed even more tightly: "Of course I understand what the Prime Minister means, but for someone like this who is already known to the Holy Prince, not only must it be done quickly, but it must also be done well and no mistakes will be made unjustly."
"This is natural, but the heads of the several people Huang Lu sued have all been returned to prison, and they have also confessed to what they committed. How can there be any injustice?"
Ma Ze was extremely anxious in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face. Both Tu Jie and Chen Ning were the Prime Minister's confidants. This was something that everyone in the government and the public knew, and his boss had always followed the Prime Minister's orders...
There is actually the figure of the Prime Minister behind Liyang...
Slowly calming his violently beating heart, Ma Ze has made up his mind. If his minister chooses to obey the Prime Minister's order and not continue to interrogate the prisoner, but directly accuses him of being a prisoner, then he will risk it all and report it to His Highness the Ming Prince.
.
In an officialdom where crises are everywhere, this case is supervised by him. If something bad happens in the future, he will definitely be pushed out to take the blame. Lord Shangshu has merit, hard work, and room for maneuver, but he does not.
If this is the case, the Sixth Department of Zhongshu will definitely not be able to survive. It will have to seek His Highness's grace and enter the Dali Temple or the General Affairs Office. These two yamen are run by the prince's confidants, so they are the most stable.
The Minister of Punishment pondered for a moment: "It's noisy here, so you two might as well move away. I've got a new copybook from a Southern Song Dynasty master, and I'm about to ask Brother Tu to identify the authenticity."
Tu Jie naturally agreed with a smile. Chen Ning looked at Pan Fuqiang deeply, and then said to Ma Ze before leaving: "My good brother is really vigorous and resolute in handling errands. Brother Fool will definitely mention a few more words in front of the prime minister about my future future."
It’s immeasurable.”
Ma Ze said with surprise on his face: "I don't think I can take it, I don't think I should, the minister is too praised."
Seeing this, Chen Ning smiled with satisfaction and stopped looking at anyone else. He just took a quick look at the still-red hot iron, with nostalgia in his eyes. He was called Chen Iron in the past.
After everyone left, several executioners looked at each other. Naturally, no one was too stupid to hang out here. They all realized that the water was deep.
"Mr. Lang, do you want me to keep the prisoners in custody to ensure that nothing goes wrong?"
Ma Ze turned around and said with a cold face: "Continue the torture!"
"Lang Guan, this... look at this..."
The executioners were hesitating and hesitating, none of them could tell the whole story, and none of them were as obedient as they were just now. The prisoners who were tied to the torture instruments were overflowing with joy. Sure enough, the Pan family had great hands and eyes, and luckily they were able to hold on.
But then they were saddened by the fact that even with their hands and eyes, they would not rescue them. Although they escaped torture, they probably would not be able to escape the final death penalty.
Ma Ze's face turned pale with anger, and he was about to make up his mind to leave as soon as he rolled his eyes. The Ministry of Punishment was the place where Master Shangshu had the final say. It was not the turn of a little man like him to have the final say, and the people below him would not listen to him.
Fortunately, he still had an extra hand in Liyang, and those few people should be able to get some evidence. When he arrived in front of His Highness, it was not empty talk.
But before Ma Ze could take action, another person walked in from the door. He was an eighth-rank official in the Ministry of Punishment, not very high, but he was the nephew of Lord Shangshu.
"Why don't you continue the interrogation?"
"Hey...here we go."
After several criminal officials saluted the nephew of Lord Shangshu, they hurriedly showed a flattering smile to Ma Ze. The fifth grade official said it was not big or small, and at least it was easy to suppress them.
So they used a little more force on their hands, and in an instant the screams and cries of ghosts and wolves were heard again, and the look of confusion on their faces became more intense. They wanted to spit out everything, but they didn't dare to be the first.
But I was also afraid that I would be a step too late.
Ma Ze was determined, knowing that these people would soon be unable to bear it. In fact, it had only been a few hours since these people were escorted to Beijing. District and county government officials were not much different from ordinary people. How could they withstand this?
The ups and downs and the punishment department's turns of punishment.
"Sir, little one...little one is willing to..."
"Sir! This is a small expose. He is not Pan Fu, he is an imposter!"
"Pan Fu is a fake. The younger one knows a lot of things and is willing to confess truthfully. Please leave a way for me to survive and don't involve the younger one!"
"grown ups……"
Seeing that the matter could no longer be concealed, the county government officers who had gritted their teeth in the execution room started shouting, fearing that their livelihood would be taken away by others.
At this time, the wails and screams in the other room also stopped. After a while, the torture official carrying a slender whip came in: "Lang Guan, that guy didn't even get the full twenty lashes to appetize him. He went back and forth in a coma.
After being beaten several times, I couldn't help but beat him hard, and the people below were waiting for him to confess and make a pledge."
"Okay! It seems that Pan Fu is the big fish, and he almost escaped from my hands by subverting his position!"
When Ma Ze said this, he was inevitably afraid, but more importantly, he was arrogant. He had long sensed something was wrong, and now it seems that it is indeed the case.

After admiring the calligraphy for a while, Tu Jie finally felt that something was wrong. He waved his hand to dismiss the officials serving tea and said in a deep voice: "Brother Chen, this matter is of great importance. The Prime Minister's side..."
Chen Mingjie gently put the tea aside: "When this situation is over, I will personally report the details to Mr. Hu."
Chen Ning slapped the table and stood up and said sternly: "Don't pretend to be ignorant here. You don't know what it means for us to come in person? Don't forget who you are!"
Chen Mingjie glanced sideways at Chen Ning and said contemptuously: "I am the Minister of Punishment of the Ming Dynasty and a minister of the Holy Emperor!"
"you!"
Tu Jie quickly interjected: "What Brother Chen said is true. Naturally, we are all officials of the imperial court and ministers of the Holy Emperor."
The atmosphere was solemn, and Tu Jie smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Chen, it's not easy for the prime minister. You can be considerate and considerate. After all, he is one of our own."
Chen Mingjie breathed out: "It's not that I don't care about the friendship between colleagues, but this matter is no longer something that you and I can suppress. How many heads were chopped off by the pro-junior commander's mansion last night? Even if I help, I can't hide it even for a while.
Live forever."
