On the wedding night, the space doctor made the crippled king stand up

Chapter 188 Telling Grievances
  Shuntian Prefecture Yin was also a little surprised, but remained calm: "As an official, you know that when the drum is beaten, you will have to receive eighty sticks before you will take up the case. Do you agree?"

Eighty sticks can be fatal if not careful.

The people talked a lot, and they all felt that this was a bit too cruel.

Rao Lei knelt there with a firm look on his face: "This official knows and is willing to accept the punishment."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

If there is no real injustice, who would want to be punished?

Tian Ci, who was sitting in the teahouse not far away, saw this scene and tightly held the teacup in his hand. He had done so many things, but he still could not stop Rao Lei.

The moment he heard the sound of the drum, his heart trembled.

If Rao Lei really told the truth, his life would be over.

Staring in the direction of Shuntian Mansion, Tian Ci stood up, dropped a piece of silver and left.

The news that Rao Lei agreed to the cane punishment quickly spread in Kyoto, attracting more people to watch.

Shuntian Prefecture Yin made arrangements, and the Yamen servants went to do it immediately.

The executioner at the rear wanted to go to the court, but was shocked when someone blocked his way.

After Tian Ci signaled him to shut up, he quickly pulled him aside while no one was paying attention, and said with a hint of warning: "I know you are going to punish Rao Lei. You must do what I say in a while." , the benefits are naturally indispensable to you."

Just as the yamen servant was about to say something, a heavy bag of silver appeared in front of him.

"Keep these, and I will give you some other benefits after the work is done." Tian Ci said.

The yamen servant who was originally dissatisfied with Tian Ci for taking him away, his eyes lit up after seeing the silver in his hand, with a smile on his face. It was not like he had never seen this kind of thing after being a yamen servant for so many years, he just wanted to To reduce the criminal law and so on.

"I wonder what this gentleman would like me to do?" the yamen servant asked with a smile on his face.

Then Tian Ci's expression suddenly turned cold, and he snorted coldly: "I want you to focus on your execution when you are about to be executed. It's best to beat the person to death."

As long as Rao Lei cannot survive the punishment, this matter will be settled.

The officer was shocked. He had never done this before.

The panic on his face was visible, but Tian Ci patted his shoulder and said, "What are you afraid of? Even if someone else dies, it has nothing to do with you. Who knows if it is because of his own poor health, these eighty sticks Punishment itself could kill someone.”

His words were extremely tempting, and with the silver in his hand and a glance around him, no one noticed him, so the yamen finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

Seeing him put away the money, Tian Ci knew that the matter was done, a smile appeared on his lips, and then he left with satisfaction.

On the way to the court, the yamen servant didn't forget to reach out and touch the place where he kept the money. He was so happy that he held the board a little tighter.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed him and pulled him aside without making any sound.

Among the crowd, Feng Yi looked not far away, and then whispered to Feng Molin beside him: "Your Majesty, it's done."

Feng Molin nodded slightly and looked at the situation in the courtroom.

Not long after, a Yamen officer came forward to execute him, but he did not see the Yamen officer he had just bribed.

Tian Ci's pupils tightened and he stared at the person who was executing Rao Lei. At the order of Shuntian Prefecture Yin, the execution began.

As the board fell, what everyone saw was shocking. Blood gradually soaked their clothes. Many people couldn't bear to look directly and turned their heads, but Rao Lei, who had been beaten all the time, vowed to die without saying a word. But there is no way an ordinary person can hold up the Eighty-Size Board. During the execution, Rao Lei even fainted, but the pain in his body woke him up again. His face was covered with fine beads of sweat, but it was also extremely pale.

"Oh my god, what an injustice this is, for him to be willing to suffer such a heavy punishment."

The onlookers could not help but feel sorry for Rao Lei. When they saw that his breath was weak, they were worried that he would not be able to hold on.

Shuntian Fuyin, who was sitting high on the throne, was also a little moved, but the law was here, and he could only watch as Rao Lei completed his execution.

Finally the last board fell and the punishment was over.

Everyone looked at Rao Lei with concern, and Shuntian Prefecture Yin couldn't help but say: "Rao Lei, can you still speak?"

Rao Lei was lying on the execution chair without moving, which made everyone's hearts jump to their throats.

Shuntian Prefecture Yin was nervous and motioned to the government officials to come forward and check.

When the yamen officer wanted to check on his condition, Rao Lei finally moved. He endured the pain in his body, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a pill and swallowed it.

After a while, Rao Lei felt that he was gradually getting more alive and a little more energetic, and he was also surprised by the magical effect of this medicine.

This medicine was given to him by Xiao Qingqing before he left, saying it could save his life when his breath was weak.

It seemed that she had already guessed this moment.

He couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart, but he did not forget his mission. He dragged his seriously injured body up from the execution chair. Upon seeing this, the government servants on the side stepped forward to help him.

Kneeling there again, the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture felt respectful and went to the court again to ask: "Rao Lei, you have beaten the Dengwen drum and been punished. Your case will be heard by Heaven. If you have any grievances, feel free to tell them. "

Rao Lei kowtowed, then his pale face showed anger, and he said with righteous indignation: "The lower official wants to sue Tian Ci, the prefect of Yucheng, for taking bribes and perverting the law, deducting official money, building a dike and shoddy quality, which caused the dike to burst and cause a flood, which made Yu The people in the city suffered heavy casualties, but Tian Ci suppressed the matter for his own benefit. Since the officials were protecting each other, the official had no way to sue, so he had to go to Beijing to file a complaint. However, he did not want Tian Ci to pay for the murder. Many people in Yucheng wanted to protect the official. Died on the road..."

Rao Lei told the whole story. Many of the people watching were victims of the disaster. They were even more angry when they thought that their current suffering was all caused by Tian Ci.

Tian Ci in the crowd didn't expect Rao Lei to be able to carry the 80-meter board. Now that his crime has been exposed, the only thing waiting for him is trial.

He was completely panicked and fled quickly when no one noticed him.

Now the only thing left is to find Su Zhe.

Xiao Qingqing on the other side was still busy with the victims. She also heard the sound of the drum, but there were too many things in her hands and she couldn't look at them at all. However, the news about Rao Lei still reached here.

The victims here were also furious after hearing this.

"This corrupt official is responsible for what we are like now!"

"Why doesn't this dog officer die? Why isn't he the one who dies?"

"Let's go find this dog officer to take revenge!"

"..."

The victims were so angry that they wanted to skin Tian Ci and get cramps. As he said this, he was ready to find trouble for Tian Ci.

Dr. Zhao from Fushengtang was frightened when he saw the public outrage. He quickly stopped him: "Don't get excited, everyone. What can you do even if you go now? Do you know where Tian Ci is now? What's more, Tian Ci There are people protecting you, how many lives do you have to give up?"
