Chapter 140

In the main hall, hangs high a plaque with four gilt characters of "Mirror High Hanging".

"Bring up the criminal."

Lu Wei was wearing a green official robe and a cross-footed headband, sitting in the hall, not angry but proud, and knocked down the gavel heavily in his hand.

The scribe dipped the brush into the ink smear on the inkstone, and stared fixedly at the front of the hall.

"mighty!"

The two classes of yamen servants knocked on the water and fire sticks together, and they looked like green-faced and fang-toothed evil spirits against the dim sky.

In Zhuang Su, an unkempt figure walked forward step by step, dragging his shackles.

If it wasn't Chen Bingli, who else could it be?

Thanks to Wang Ding, Hu Wu and Zhou Rui took good care of him during this time, as long as they showed the size of torture instruments that don't hurt people, Chen Bingli was so frightened that three souls disappeared and seven souls disappeared.

"The little one, no, it's a student, student Chen Bingli, see you, meet your old parents."

Before Lu Wei, the magistrate, could even speak, Chen Er, who was in shackles, was already trembling, and his legs were about to go limp.

Fortunately, I still remember my identity as a scholar.

"You bastard, you've lost all the dignity of a scholar!"

Seeing this useless look, Lu Wei got angry and couldn't help but snorted coldly.

Li Guo attached great importance to culture, and scholars would not kneel when they saw officials. Chen Bingli was a scholar who was admitted in the third year of Xiansheng. As long as he has not been deprived of his fame, even he, a county parent official, is not allowed to use torture.

The other party knew this, but he was still so frightened that his legs trembled. It was obviously out of character.

"Killing to pay for your life is a matter of course. I have already told the imperial court to take your fame. If you are still obsessed with your obsession, don't blame me for being merciless. Hurry up and tell the truth!"

Lu Wei slapped the gavel and scolded sharply.

"My lord, I have learned that I didn't kill anyone. I was wronged, so wronged!"

Chen Bingli panicked immediately.

What he relies on is that he still has a layer of fame and fame on his body. Even Hu Wu and Zhou Rui only dare to scare him with heavy punishment, which really hurt half of his hair. can keep.

They are just greedy for the money and goods promised by Wang Ding, there is no need to put their own future in it.

But now, once Lu Wei reported to the Ming court and took away his amulet, he would really be slaughtered.

"You still dare to talk hard? Come on, let this guy be detained by the officer, and he will hit you with [-] boards. I want to see how tough this guy is!"

Lv Wei snorted coldly, and threw a warrant sign down the hall.

"Order!"

Immediately, two yamen servants came out to line up, and Chen Bingli was not allowed to argue, so they gagged him and dragged him down like a dead dog.

No one saw it, and Wan Tutou quietly disappeared from the hall while everyone was not paying attention.

Not long after, there was a burst of painful cries from behind, which frightened the people outside the yamen. They all commented that they thought that the person who came this time was the Lord Qingtian, but he was also a fatuous master. It's been a rough day.

But Lu Wei, who was sitting high in the hall, would not pay attention to these voices.

After waiting for a while, finally a yamen servant came out from behind holding a bloody paper.

"My lord, all criminals have been recruited."

After finishing speaking, he presented the pleading paper respectfully.

"Okay! Very good! The criminal Chen Bingli murdered seven employees of the Yinhook Gambling Shop. Now that the evidence is solid, the county has sentenced him to be executed at noon tomorrow! Retire!"

Lu Wei just glanced lightly, and quickly gave a verdict.

In one sentence, Chen Er was sentenced to death.

Amidst the majestic voices of the servants, the elder in the hall disappeared in front of everyone.

Seeing that the case was judged, the people gathered in front of the yamen also dispersed one after another, only two people had strange expressions on their faces, but they also quickly disappeared among the crowd laughing.

"Stupid official! Stupid official!"

Lin Wennian complained endlessly.

This person is the lawyer Huai Niang hired with a lot of money, but he secretly took money from Wang Ding, so he unknowingly coaxed Huai Niang into throwing himself into the trap and went to Wang Ding to ask for forgiveness.

Unexpectedly, the delicate little lady was fine, but Wang Ding, who had a great family, was wiped out.

Knowing that it must have something to do with the little lady, Lin Wennian was still thinking about how to remedy and explain it, but he soon heard another bad news.

Chen Bingli was sentenced to death.

When the verdict came down, Lin Wennian's eyes went dark on the spot, and when he came back to his senses, he was already thinking about how to run away.

On the way back, he didn't even dare to take the main road, but took a small path in the alley.

Unexpectedly, when he made up his mind, he was blocked by a person.

"Miss Chen, you, this is..."

Lin Wennian twitched, and asked with a dry voice.

The woman in front of her is graceful and beautiful, and her beautiful makeup makes people want to raise a sense of protection, but in Lin Xianshi's eyes, she looks like a ghost.

"fraud."

The woman's complexion did not fluctuate.

"I can explain—"

Lin Wennian was about to quibble, when suddenly the figure of the person in front of him became distorted and blurred, and a large shadow spread along the walls on both sides of the alley.

The man's pupils vibrated, and he saw that the figure in front of him changed into a mass of flesh, and there was a huge mouth around the mass, and the outline of a beautiful face emerged from that mouth, and he swallowed him in one gulp. There was a sound of chewing.

"They're all liars."

After a long time, another sigh fell, and the alley regained its clarity, but the figure of Master Lin was no longer seen.

……

"Master's hand is really good! I can see that Chen Er is not the person in charge, and deliberately use him to hang the black hand behind the scenes. High, it is really high, and the subordinates really admire it!"

On the other side, Wan Butou couldn't stop patting Lu Wei's flattery.

To be able to hold the position of imperial censor, Lu Wei is not a fatuous person. What he did in the yamen just now was to earn the real culprit of the Wang family's massacre.

Aware of the similarities in Chen Bingli's case, Lu Wei sent people to inquire about Chen Er's life.

This investigation really made him find out the clue.

The prodigy of Lin'an, who passed the examination as a scholar at the age of 12, was polite and courteous in speech and behavior, and even praised the teaching instructions. He believed that this child had a bright future, but he was rescued when he fell into water on the road to Qiuwei the next year. After that, his temperament changed drastically, and he was completely different from the past.

The person who was judged by several famous doctors to die was unexpectedly rescued, and then changed his temperament. Lu Wei could guess with his toes that there must be something strange in it.

Now that Chen Bingli is facing prison, and Wang Ding, who is on the side of the sufferer, has been wiped out all over his family, if it has nothing to do with it, he is deceiving himself and others.

However, this also awakened Lu Wei. He quickly had a plan. Since the other party cared so much about Chen Bingli, if the scholar was sentenced to death, would the other party still be able to calm down and hide behind the scenes?
So everything that happened in the yamen today was a good show that Lu Wei ordered his subordinates to perform.

It wasn't Chen Bingli who was beaten, but a piece of pork he bought, in order to create the illusion that he disregarded human life.

Now that the stage has been set, it's just waiting for the person behind the scenes to show his true form.

 I made up one update that was owed yesterday, and there are two more updates tonight~
