Chapter 125: Great Punishment (1st Shift)
"Wait!" Li Yuntian quickly reacted, arched his hand at Cui Hui, and said loudly, "Lord Patrol, now it's just the other party's words, not the human and material evidence, the concubine of the lower official is already pregnant, please think twice about the punishment!" ”
"My lord, the subordinate also feels that the case is not yet clear, and it is not appropriate to move the punishment at this time. Where is the chase novel, go fast, and the eyes are fast" Qi Wanlong also arched his hand to Cui Hui when he heard this, and said quietly, "The Chen family is an official family, so it's better not to be punished before there is conclusive evidence." ”
"My lord, the lower officials also mean this, and now with just an account book and a confession, it is really impossible to see that the Chen family is guilty." Subsequently, Feng Kui also spoke up to express his opposition to the torture of the green calyx.
His father-in-law opened a shop in the trading market in Baishui Town, and business was booming, and as a colleague in Jiujiang Mansion, he naturally wanted to speak for Li Yuntian.
"Whether you use the criminal book to patrol and know in your heart, as a colleague of Li Zhi County, you should know what it means to avoid suspicion!" Cui Hui didn't expect Li Yuntian's popularity to be so good, Qi Wanlong and Feng Kui didn't protect themselves but said for Li Yuntian, so they sneered and said.
Qi Wanlong and Feng Kui were immediately embarrassed when they heard this, and looked at Li Yuntian helplessly, the two of them had done their best.
"Lord Patrol, the concubine is already pregnant, if the adult wants to torture her, the lower official is willing to be punished on her behalf." Li Yuntian knew that Cui Hui had made up his mind to torture the green calyx, frowned, took off the black gauze hat on his head and put it on the ground in front of him, and said loudly to Cui Hui, reminding Cui Hui that the green calyx was pregnant.
"If you break the law, this patrol will naturally not let you go, and now that you are not involved in this matter, if this patrol press is to punish you, wouldn't it be knowing the law and breaking the law, and the crime will be increased by one degree?"
Cui Hui saw that Li Yuntian cared so much about the green calyx, and his heart suddenly rejoiced, it seems that the green calyx is Li Yuntian's life, as long as he attacks Li Yuntian's life, then he is not afraid that Li Yuntian will not give in, he naturally cannot punish Li Yuntian, looking at him coldly, wanting to force Li Yuntian to admit that he is greedy for ink.
"Damn!" Li Yuntian said secretly, his fists couldn't help but clench, his face was extremely cold, he didn't know Cui Hui's thoughts.
"Don't worry, the concubine hasn't done that kind of thing, and I'm not afraid to check it out by the adult." Seeing this, Lu Calyx knew that Li Yuntian was worried about himself, and after biting his lip, he pulled his trouser leg again, and said softly, "The concubine is fine, don't worry about the concubine." ”
Li Yuntian knew that the green calyx was comforting himself, and his heart was mixed for a while, he knew that he was the one who affected the green calyx.
"Come on, get on the stick!" Cui Hui saw that the green calyx actually dissuaded Li Yuntian from confessing, and his eyes couldn't help flashing fiercely, and he shouted at the station officer who was holding a water and fire stick in the hall.
These officials are from Ruichang County, and when they heard this, they looked at each other, and no one had any intention of moving.
After all, Li Yuntian is famous in Jiujiang Mansion, and not long ago, he easily cracked the case of Wang Xiucai and Chunhua, which made the officials in awe of him, so no one dared to torture the pregnant green calyx, otherwise he would definitely be poked in the back.
"Come on, go to punishment!" It was the first time Cui Hui had encountered this situation, and after being stunned, he couldn't help but get angry, and yelled at the officers who were standing behind the guards in the lobby.
Several officers who patrolled the Imperial History Yamen immediately rushed up, put the ten fingers of the green calyx into the clamping stick, and set up the posture of execution, just waiting for Cui Hui to nod and pull the clamping stick, they are not from Jiujiang Mansion, so naturally they don't have so many concerns
"Chen, this patrol press will ask you again, did you accept the bribe of 5,000 taels?" Looking at the green calyx whose face had become a little pale, Cui Hui asked sharply.
"Lord Patrolman, the women have indeed not received any money from him." Hearing this, the green calyx looked up at Cui Hui and said with a resolute expression.
"Clip!" Cui Hui sneered, his face was a little hideous and spit out a word from his mouth, he felt that the green calyx did not shed tears when he saw the coffin, and when he was punished, he didn't believe that her delicate little lady was still hard-mouthed.
The servants who were pulling the ropes on both sides suddenly exerted their strength when they heard this, and the green calyx only felt a heart-piercing pain from the fingers of both hands, and cold sweat seeped out of his forehead in an instant.
In order not to worry Li Yuntian, she bit her lip tightly and endured the pain at her fingers without saying a word.
Li Yuntian saw that Lu Calyx's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, his fist was clenched, and his face was so cold that it seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, he knew that Lu Calyx was enduring severe pain at this time, as if he had been tortured himself, and his heart was like a knife.
"Chen, now that the evidence is conclusive, you are not allowed to deny it, do you recruit or not?" Looking at the green calyx who gritted his teeth without saying a word, Cui Hui's eyes flashed with a look of astonishment, he never thought that the weak woman of the green calyx could bear so much pain, and he couldn't help but have a trace of panic in his heart, and asked loudly, wanting to break the will of the green calyx.
"Patrol the lord, the women are wronged!" The green calyx's face was already pale, and she said to Cui Hui in a coquettish voice.
"Clamp, press the patrol and clamp it hard!" Cui Hui saw that the green calyx was so ignorant, so he slapped the startled wood hard, and shouted at the two executing officers.
Seeing that Cui Hui was angry, the two officers did not dare to slack off, and immediately pulled the ropes at both ends of the clamping stick with sufficient strength, making the rope tight, and the place where the clamping stick and the green calyx's fingers touched made a slight clicking sound.
The green calyx's face showed a painful look, closed his eyes, raised his head, gritted his teeth and endured the pain on his fingers, and sweat rained down on his forehead.
She knew that she had to endure it at this time, as long as she made a slight sound because of the pain, then Li Yuntian would definitely be in chaos, and then she would have fulfilled some suspicious intentions.
The guards on both sides of the hall looked at each other, their eyes showed a look of admiration, they often carry out punishments, and naturally know that ten fingers are connected to the heart, this kind of pain is not to mention that the delicate woman of the green calyx is difficult to endure even a big man.
Qi Wanlong and Feng Kui couldn't help but turn their faces sideways, they couldn't bear to look at the painful look on Lu Calyx's face, the two felt that Cui Hui had really done a little too much, no matter how to say that Green Calyx was also an official dependent, and there was no detailed evidence, plus she was pregnant, why bother to use this kind of punishment, without the slightest friendship with colleagues.
The people outside the hall were also stunned by the scene in front of them, no one could have imagined that the green calyx would suffer so much pain silently, they felt a chill down their spines just by looking at it from a distance, and many people turned their heads one after another.
"Stop, Lord Patrol, whatever you want, the lower officials will tell you." Li Yuntian saw that the green calyx's face was already blue, and the sweat on his forehead was like rain, he could no longer control his excitement, raised his foot and kicked an executing officer, hugged the green calyx in his arms, and said to Cui Hui in a loud voice.
Now he can see that Cui Hui is bound to win this time, if he carries it hard, not only will he be green calyx, but I am afraid that Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou will not be spared, rather than this, it is better to show weakness to the enemy first, bear the charges, and then find a way to overturn the case later.
At this moment, Li Yuntian didn't know that Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou were lucky to escape, which is why Cui Hui wanted to be heavy on the green calyx, now that the green calyx was the only trump card in his hand, he had to let Li Yuntian bow his head.
"This patrol asks you, did you accept those bribes?" Cui Hui couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this, and couldn't help but ask repeatedly, secretly mocking himself in his heart It's just like that, there is actually a woman's kindness, how can it be a big thing in the future?
Qi Wanlong and Feng Kui suddenly became nervous, as long as Li Yuntian opened his mouth to admit it, then there would be endless troubles, and in the future, Cui Hui would be able to rub and pinch it flat.
"Master, the concubine knows that you are worried about the concubine, but if you admit the crime you did not do because you pity the concubine, then the concubine will not feel at ease for the rest of her life, and she will never forgive you for the rest of her life!" The green calyx fell weakly into Li Yuntian's arms, and after hearing Cui Hui's words, he used his last strength and said to Li Yuntian, "Concubine...... The concubine would rather not have the master's reputation humiliated at all. ”
After speaking, the green calyx smiled at Li Yuntian, closed his eyes, snuggled weakly in his arms, and passed out.
"Green calyx, green calyx......" Li Yuntian was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted the name of the green calyx.
"Blood!" At this time, a standing officer standing next to him suddenly looked at the green calyx in astonishment and said, the dress under the green calyx had been wet with oozing blood.
Li Yuntian's face turned pale when he saw this, it was a bad thing for a pregnant woman like Green Calyx who had been pregnant for three or four months to see red, and he didn't have time to think about it too much, so he picked up the green calyx and walked out of the lobby, ready to go to Wen Po to treat the green calyx.
"Stop him!" Cui Hui didn't expect that the green calyx would ruin his good deeds at the critical moment, and when he was annoyed, he saw Li Yuntian picking up the green calyx and walking out, and hurriedly shouted at the messenger who patrolled the imperial history yamen at the door.
"Lord Patrol, the lower officials have no grudges with you in the past, and they have no enmity with you today, why should you force the lower officials hard!" The servants swarmed up and blocked Li Yuntian's way, Li Yuntian turned around and stared at Cui Hui coldly, his tone full of anger.
"Hmph, this patrol hunts on behalf of the sky, patrols Jiangxi, if you are innocent, this patrol will naturally give you justice, but if you are corrupt and pervert the law, this patrol will definitely not tolerate it!" Cui Hui sneered, and said solemnly, "This patrol asks you, have you accepted bribes?" ”
"Lord Patrol, the concubine of the lower official is in danger, if you don't have conclusive evidence, then the lower official hopes to treat the concubine of the lower official first." Li Yuntian saw that Cui Hui said in a high-sounding manner, his eyes flashed cold, and his voice said indifferently.
"At stake? Hmph, I'm afraid it's your way out! Cui Hui glanced at the green calyx leaning in Li Yuntian's arms with his eyes closed, and the blood dripping down under the green calyx, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "This patrol will let people check the situation of the Chen family, and no one will want to leave here until this case is closed!" ”
"Damn!" Li Yuntian was immediately angry when he heard this, and looked at Cui Hui with angry eyes, Cui Hui made it clear that he wanted to put him to death, which was beyond the scope of Cui Hui's investigation of the case, and had invisibly risen to a personal grudge between the two. One
