"Dad, the Jiang family can live without me, but not without you! If you do something wrong, can't I, who is a son, confess my guilt and accept punishment for you? How can I afford to be at home, my mother is still looking forward to your return! ”

"Shut up, ignorant child, the law of the country is as big as the sky, if everyone sins and is a descendant who comes out to the top, where is the majesty of the law? Shut up for me, and if you talk again, I won't have your son! ”

"Daddy......"

Jiang Dashao called out to his father with a trembling voice, and then immediately whined and cried. Because he was kneeling on the ground, everyone could see that he was twenty-five or sixteen years old and burst into tears in an instant, but he didn't wipe it with his sleeve, and anyone could see his sadness. And Zhu Tingfang, who had heard Zhang Shou say Jiang Dashao's stupid and cute words and deeds before, couldn't help but open his brows slightly. Filial sons always have preferential treatment.

And the biggest feeling of others is that the relationship between the father and son of the Jiang family is really good! The eldest young master of the Qi family showed an envy that could not be concealed. For him, who grew up in an environment of weak family affection since he was a child, this father-son relationship is incredible.

The acting heads of the rest of the families, the older ones kept peeking at Jiang Dashao, and the younger ones frequently looked at Master Jiang. The older thought to himself that he didn't have such a son, no matter how bad the other aspects were, filial piety alone was enough to be satisfying. The young thought to himself why he didn't have such a father, not only did he not have a concubine, but he also had no heart of commitment when his son was guilty.

Master Jiang was upset by Jiang Dashao's crying, and according to his past temper, he had already scolded people for being too soft. But now at this juncture, the second son and the youngest son, who used to prefer a few points because of their young age, did not show their faces, but the eldest son was running around, how could he push the filial but a little stupid Jiang Dashao into the fire pit?

At that moment, he kowtowed heavily without hesitation and said: "Every word of what the grass people said before came from the bottom of their hearts, and the four major sins that the general said, the grass people all admitted it, and I just hope to give the dog Siyuan a chance to make up for it with the Jiang family." ”

On this day's case, although the people were not allowed to watch the case, there were many errand officials in the county government, because of Zhu Tingfang's instructions, there were errand officers who kept quietly passing on all kinds of details in the hall to the ears of people watching the excitement outside.

As a result, the people of Cangzhou who gathered outside the Changlu County Ya quickly knew that although Jiang Dashao was willing to be punished for his father, Master Jiang resolutely disagreed, and actually made the eldest son know nothing about the past.

Although Master Jiang also admitted the four crimes that Zhu Tingfang said at the beginning of the court, in the end, Zhu Tingfang used to deal with him, but the second and third two of them have been completely verified. As for burning down the houses and radically changing the good people, they have been taken out by the Qi family's servants, and most of them have been carried by the Qi people, and Master Jiang can be regarded as having escaped. But even so, the more he prosecuted this crime, it was still enough for him to take off a layer of skin.

"All military and civilian lawsuits must be filed from the bottom up. If you go beyond the lawsuit, you will be punished with 50 lashes if you go to your boss to complain. If you welcome the car, and beat the drum to complain. and he who is not truthful, a hundred rods. If the matter is serious, it will be judged seriously. Whoever is truthful is forgiven. ”

Although Zhang Shou said that he had read the Da Ming law urgently in the past two days, he couldn't do it like Zhu Tingfang memorized the law in court. Hearing this, although he discussed with the quasi-eldest brother yesterday how to judge Master Jiang, Zhu Tingfang did not explain it after all, at this moment he calculated in his heart, he knew that if Master Jiang told the eldest prince that even if it was half false and half real, he would have to receive at least fifty rods.

However, Zhu Tingfang in the outer hall had not finished speaking: "And in the left and right gates of Chang'an, those who hang themselves and sprinkle noisy people will be sent to the law department, and the instigators will be investigated and instigated, and they will be seriously questioned." Although you didn't hang yourself at the left and right gates of Chang'an, but you intended to commit suicide before the Qin Cha and his party, but the evidence of the crime is conclusive. ”

"The more you complain is untrue, you are threatened, you should be punished severely, but you read that the eldest prince was in Cangzhou before, and there are indeed bad deeds, and you have a filial son who is bent on making amends, so you will be lightly punished, come and drag down the rod eighty!"

Eighty canes are still lightly dropped!

Jiang Dashao was already so shocked that his whole body was wooden, and his first reaction was to pounce directly on his father, and shouted directly: "I will suffer these eighty canes on behalf of my father!" As soon as the words came out, he suddenly realized that in the past, his father and mother beat him and used the family law, and he would die of pain in seven or eight strokes, and he wouldn't die if he was beaten down with eighty rods? But as soon as the words came out, his face was pale, and he could only grit his teeth and remain silent.

Master Jiang didn't expect his son to suddenly fly to the rescue, and after being stunned for a while, he was about to scold him, but unexpectedly, Zhu Tingfang in the hall said lightly: "Nian Zai you have a son who is willing to suffer for his father's punishment, halved, and you will be forty first." Forty remaining, each of your three sons shall share it! ”

Jiang Dashao was relieved when he heard the halving, but he found that his father was going to be halved, and he could still share it with his two younger brothers, so he immediately shouted loudly: "General Zhu, General Zhu, can't be like this!" Since it is me and the three sons to share the burden for the father, it should be averaged, and twenty is the ...... for one person."

Before he could finish speaking, two people snatched out of him, and one of them directly blocked his mouth with a handkerchief. Struggling desperately, he recognized that the person dressed as an errand was Zhang Chen, and suddenly his eyes widened, and he forgot to resist for a while, until he was dragged to the outer platform with his father Jiang, he suddenly woke up, and he kept screaming.

Zhang Chen really couldn't stand it, so he could only squat down angrily and whispered: "What's the trouble?" If it is really a strict sentence, your father will send Liaodong to fill the army at least, and he can pass this level by being beaten, and he will already be cheap! If you can let your three sons share forty for him, that's already an extrajudicial favor, what do you want? Eighty by one? I can tell you, it's not light! ”

Master Jiang also heard this clearly, and saw Jiang Dashao looking at him with a frightened expression, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to survive, he could only take a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Thank you General Zhu for being fair and strict, and the grass people accept the punishment!" ”

Hearing his father's words of admitting punishment again, Jiang Dashao was stunned in his heart, and when he found that his father's eyes were full of sternness, he suddenly hung his head, but his heart suddenly thought of the two younger brothers who were sentenced by Zhu Tingfang to be punished together.

Isn't it to be shared? What about people? Where did both of their brothers die?

As he was thinking this, he suddenly heard two voices babbling equally as if they were being gagged. He barely moved his only moving head to look to the side, but saw that the second and third brothers, who had been avoided for the past few days, were being carried by the servants, and Xu Yu was pressed next to him. The six eyes looked at each other for a while, and he suddenly relaxed, and actually winked at them.

However, when he received the first blow on his buttocks, Jiang Dashao suddenly couldn't be happy. He only felt a sharp pain radiating from his buttocks to all parts of his body in an instant, and even the ability to think was lost because of the pain, and the whole person was completely stunned. Because of this, when someone pulled out his gag at once, he didn't notice until he heard his own screams.

And Jiang Ershao and Jiang Sanshao, who had long been gagged and brought out from Jiang's house, and had just observed the whole court trial, were also taken out of the gag cloth at this time, and they were simply beaten and wanted to roll on the ground. This is completely different from the taste of the family law of my father and mother, and there is a period of time in the middle of each stroke for you to experience the endless pain. And the sharp pain was like a tide, wave after wave.

By the time the thirteen beats were over, the two of them didn't know how many screams they had made, so they didn't even notice that Jiang Dashao had been beaten more than them. When the three brothers, whose foreheads were covered with cold sweat, were finally relieved, they heard the muffled snort on the side. The three of them looked in that direction almost in unison, and saw that Master Jiang was biting a strip of cloth in his mouth, and his back clothes were already stained with blood.

At this moment, the three brothers had enough time to remember that they were finished, but Dad had only survived a third of it! At that moment, even Jiang Ershao and Jiang Sanshao, who initially felt that they had been wronged by this beating, couldn't help but turn pale.

Their young people were all beaten to death just now, how can Daddy stand it when he is old?

When the news of the four members of the Jiang family who were punished with canes came out of the county government, the people who gathered here today to listen to the news gasped. And many spinners and cotton farmers who quietly mixed in the crowd and were once lightly dismissed by Zhu Tingfang were secretly clapping their hands.

What is Master Jiang's personal morality, they don't feel it deeply, they only remember that they have ruined their family, and they already hate him to the core. And the rest of the guys who were put in prison were full of bad deeds and crimes, and naturally they were even more hateful. If Master Jiang is shared by half of his three sons, he will be punished with forty rods, and those who are extremely guilty of crimes, which one should not take off a few layers of skin?

I'm afraid someone is going to lose their heads!

But no matter what, Jiang Dashao still got the reputation of pure filial piety and kindness, as for the past...... The children of rich families are ignorant of the world, nothing more. After all, just yesterday, Jiang Dashao personally led people to deliver rice and noodles to the former hired workers, promising to do his best to provide the rations needed by each family before resuming work, and promising to resume work as soon as possible. Even those who have followed Xian Yunhe have troubled each other, and they feel that Jiang Dashao is acceptable.

Therefore, for such punishments of the Jiang family, most people feel that Zhu Tingfang is really selfless.

After forty rods, Master Jiang fainted in pain and was woken up by cold water again, and finally survived. Although it is only a wooden cane the thickness of a thumb, it is still not easy to pump on the buttocks. If it weren't for the silk tunic he wore before the execution, he doubted that even if he made it home alive, he would have lost half of his life if those clothes were beaten with a torture rod and rotted in flesh.

However, seeing that the three sons had been drugged at this time, and after being helped up, they supported each other and limped around to see his condition, he felt a little relieved, but said weakly: "I can't die yet!" Da Lang, you go, thank General Zhu for his kindness......"

Jiang Dashao only felt like his butt was cut by a knife at the moment, and he was extremely angry in his heart. However, Zhu Tingfang is not Zhang Shou, Zhang Shou is very gentle more often, which makes him feel that he is indeed a teacher and worthy of the official position of Dr. Guozi, but Zhu Tingfang is murderous, no, murderous like hemp! When he was taken to the county morgue the day before yesterday and saw the corpse, he was directly frightened and vomited!

Thinking of the nightmares of these two days and nights, he saw his two younger brothers looking at him with resentment, and finally went out with the errand who carried his father out of the county office. He originally thought that Zhu Tingfang would put on another show of official authority, but he never thought that someone would directly ask him to step aside.

And when he saw the next scene, he couldn't wait to lie down and let his ass rest for a while, only to find that the cane punishment that his father and son had just received was nothing at all!

"Qi Chang, disrespectful for the old, occupying widows, forcing the lonely and weak to death, and lust for profit, setting fire to people's houses, radically changing the good people, the crime is unforgivable, I plan to behead, and I will never wait for the time!"

"Qi Shuo, rob the sons of the good family, kill two of them with a cane, discard the bones, the crime is unforgivable, I plan to behead, never wait for the time!"

"Qi Liu's family, conniving at his husband and son to commit murder and evil, and also conniving at Shantang to abduct and sell the children of good families, causing many of them to die, and four skeletons have been raised. In the past few years, three servant girls have been killed, and these three people have no deed of registration, so they are not allowed to be regarded as servants of the Qi family, and they are not lowly and cannot be treated lightly. Ready to be killed, never wait! ”

When these three pieces of news also spread, they learned that the stepwife of the Qi family was also sentenced to beheading, and countless people broke their eyes. No one thought that the Qi family would not even be able to escape this catastrophe, but the accusations of this Mrs. Qi are really irrefutable, especially the one that connived at the abduction and sale of good families, which really caused public anger.

This time, it was the turn of Young Master Qi's face turned pale. Seeing that the stepmother of the slut who kept calling was dragged away directly by someone with her mouth gagged, and saw the half-brother who had always been arrogant and domineering fainting and falling to the ground and being taken away, he saw that his father was stunned, and he didn't see himself at all, and his eyes were blank when he was taken down, as if he had wandered out of the world, he couldn't help but glance at Jiang Dashao, who was still rubbing his buttocks.

Thinking of what the other party had secretly told him before, as well as the actual action just now, he didn't hesitate for a while, directly kicked off his shoes, and walked barefoot to the center of the hall and knelt down.

He was originally wearing a white dress today, although in the current situation where his parents and brothers were sentenced to death, this was a bit of a curse in advance, but at this time, he suddenly kicked off his shoes and walked to the center, in the eyes of others, it was a little unusual.

Isn't this plain clothes? Why, Qi Dashao wants to intercede for his parents and brothers?

Although this young master Qi is neither beautiful nor weak, black and fat, looking honest and honest, when he kneels in the center, his sleeves wipe his eyes, and his eyes start to be red and swollen immediately, when he bursts into tears, there are also many servants who look at each other, and then they feel a little sympathy. After all, how many locals in Cangzhou don't know about the Qi family's?

"Parents and brothers are guilty of capital crimes, and the grass people, as sons of man, and as human brothers, they dare not and have no reason to intercede for them, they only ask the general to be merciful and allow the grass people to share some of the father's responsibility."

Today, filial sons are one after another?

The acting heads of the other four families almost turned their heads to look at Jiang Dashao, and when they saw that their facial features were a little twitching in pain, they couldn't help but mutter. However, unlike the previous time when Master Jiang was tortured with a cane, and his sons could still share it, it was a death sentence outside of Qi Yuan, how to share it? Young Master Qi will be able to take one or twenty canes for his father, and he will be able to change the sentence to exile? Can't!
