The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 332 The Beginning of Chaos in Chang'an

Chang'an City.

Liu Wei's efficiency has always been very fast. Two days later, he had grasped all the evidence of Lin Huilin's bullying men and women.

So on the third day, he appeared again in the Chang'an city government office, but this time he came prepared, because he brought guards, witnesses and evidence.

In the lobby, Liu Wei was sitting high, while Lin Zegang was trembling, showing uneasy expressions from time to time.

"Lord Lin, do you know what your son did or not?" After Liu Wei brought out all the witnesses and evidence, Liu Wei looked at Lin Zegang and asked.

Lin Zegang was terrified, but he thought that his son had already escaped. As long as his son did not plead guilty, Liu Wei's words could not be used to convict him.

"Master Huiliu, these people are all slandering, how could Gouzi do these things, no, absolutely never did these things."

Liu Wei smiled coldly: "Where is your son?"

"My lord, Quanzi is not in Chang'an. Quanzi has left Chang'an a few days ago, so some people said just a few days ago that they saw my son bullying men and women. It is not true at all."

"is it?"

"Yes."

Liu Wei nodded, and then ordered: "Come here, search the government office and all properties of the Lin family, and find Lin Hui."

After the guards took orders, they scattered away. Lin Zegang showed a slight smile. He felt that his son had already left Chang'an City, so it would be strange if Liu Wei could find it.

But what Lin Zegang didn't expect was that just half an hour later, two guards escorted his son and walked in, and his son was yelling loudly, like killing a pig.

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, yes, it is indeed his son, but hasn't he already left Chang'an City?
Lin Zegang was a little angry. He felt that his son was really useless. Why did he come back after leaving Chang'an City? Could it be that his head is full of mud?

Lin Zegang's surprised expression fell into Liu Wei's eyes, and Liu Wei also felt strange. If Lin Zegang wants to protect his son and send him away from Chang'an City, it is not impossible. He also said just now that his son is not in Chang'an , He was not sure whether he could find Lin Ya Nei, but now that he was found, something must have happened.

Lin Hui knelt on the lobby and kept looking at his father. Lin Zegang hinted to him to keep calm.

"Lin Hui, you bullied men and women in Chang'an City, can you admit it?"

"Wrong, absolutely wrong."

"Injustice?" Liu Wei frowned slightly: "Then do you know the people who were bullied by you standing in the hall?"

"I don't know, I don't know any of them."

Liu Wei had never seen such a shameless person, so he gave Zhugepi a wink, and asked Zhugepi to recite everyone's oppression, and he wanted to psychologically break through Lin Ya's defense line. Of course, this It was just an appetizer, and he wanted to arouse the anger of the people watching the interrogation.

After Zhuge Pi understood Liu Wei's meaning, he began to read.

"In March last year, Lin Hui fell in love with Mrs. Sun's family on the street and forcibly took her to her home. Unwilling to be humiliated, Mrs. Sun's family hanged herself. Mrs. Sun's husband-in-law, Sun Si, came to ask for an explanation, but you beat her He became disabled and can’t take care of himself even today.”

"Also in March last year, Lin Hui fell in love with a piece of uncooked jade from Shopkeeper Qian's house, and forcibly snatched it. Shopkeeper Qian came to sue, but was bitten back, and he is still in prison today."

"In April last year, you thought Zhou Zhou was hostile to you because you took one more look at you in the crowd, so you sent someone to beat him seriously, and then gouged out his eyes..."

What Lin Hui did was told one by one by Zhuge Pi. Basically, every month, Lin Hui would do a few evil things. His reasons for beating people are simply weird.

After Zhuge Pi finished reading, Lin Hui's forehead was covered with sweat, and the people outside the hall were all filled with righteous indignation, demanding that Lin Hui be severely punished, it would be best to kill Lin Hui and cut him into pieces. His crimes are too numerous to write down.

Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Liu Wei asked coldly, "Lin Hui, can you plead guilty?"

"I...I don't admit it, this is nothing but fiction."

"Then this non-existent thing is probably too much, right?"

"Then how do I know, I haven't done any of these things anyway."

"There are all the witnesses and material evidence. If you don't admit it, I have no choice but to punish you." Liu Wei said, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth. In fact, he had expected that the Lin Yamen would not admit it. It's impossible for Lin Yanei to do nothing to him because he doesn't admit it.

According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, punishment cannot be used casually, but if the criminal refuses to admit the crime blindly, then this punishment must be used, otherwise what is the punishment for?
Lin Hui's heart sank when he heard that he was going to be tortured, but he thought that if he admitted that it would be very difficult to survive, he still chose to remain silent, as long as he survived, he would use the torture.

The instrument of torture was quickly brought up. It was something similar to a claw, and it had a long handle. In addition, there was a stove. After the instrument of torture was brought up, Liu Wei nodded: "Let's do it!" .”

After a yamen servant nodded, he roasted the sharp clawed end on the stove for a cup of tea. After the roasting was over, he ordered someone to take off Lin Ya Nei's coat, exposing his back, and then used the sharp claws to slash his neck. Pull it all the way to the buttocks.

That scene was a bit cruel. The moment the paws were on the back, Lin Ya Nei screamed like a pig because of the burning heat and pain. The sound was shocking, but to those watching the people, it was very enjoyable.

They wished they could cut Lin Hui into pieces, and they were too happy for Lin Hui to be punished like this.

"it is good!"

"Scratch hard, and scratch off the flesh of this bastard."

"Master Liu is wise."

"That's right, Ying Ming..."

The people applauded one after another, and the voices of the people quickly drowned out Lin Hui's screams like killing a pig. Lin Zegang watched from the sidelines, and couldn't bear it anymore. He had never beaten his son before, and now Liu Wei used The sharp claws kept scratching on his son's back. This action seemed penetrating. How painful would it be to be scratched?
"Forgive...forgive...forgive, Mr. Liu..."

Lin Ya Nei was in so much pain that he couldn't say anything else. It was Lin Zegang who said to spare his life. He knelt down to Liu Wei after a plop. He really couldn't bear to see his son suffer.

Liu Wei showed a slight smile: "Master Lin is willing to recruit?"

"This..." Lin Zegang hesitated a little. It's not that he didn't know the consequences after confessing, but just as he was hesitating, Lin Ya Nei finally couldn't bear the pain and passed out, but a yamen servant brought a basin of cold water After waking Lin Ya Nei up, he continued to use torture, which was so cruel that it was unbearable to look directly at.

"Recruit, recruit, my son has done all these things."

Liu Wei showed a sneer, and then looked at Lin Hui. Lin Hui had almost half his life left, and his back was bloody. Seeing Liu Wei looking at him, he suddenly felt a chill, and this chill made him feel sick. His back suddenly hurt more.

"Yes... I did it, I did it all, don't use torture anymore."

Seeing Lin Ya's confession, Liu Wei showed a slight smile, and then ordered someone to detain Lin Hui, but after detaining Lin Hui, Liu Wei did not stop there, but looked at Lin Zegang and said, "Lin Hui What do you want to say, my lord?"

"Xiaguan... It's my fault that I failed to educate my son well."

"What about other than that?"

"besides?"

Liu Wei suddenly snorted coldly: "As the parent official of the people in Chang'an City, you have bent the law for personal gain because of your own son. This made me seriously doubt whether you can maintain justice as an official. Therefore, I decided to temporarily detain you. Prison, I will make a decision on you after I retry the prison, can you agree?"

Lin Zegang's heart sank. He had expected that Liu Wei would settle the score. He came to ask himself that sentence that day to see his attitude, and he had already had an ominous premonition. As long as he said that sentence , with Liu Wei's temperament, she will never spare herself.

"My lord, I'm just confused for a moment..."

"Needless to say, as the official of the people's parents, you are in charge of the life and death power of the people in Chang'an City. How can you just ignore it if you are confused for a while? Come and take Lin Zegang to the prison."

No one dared not to listen to Liu Wei's words. Even though he was young, his status was not low. Let's not say that he was a political advisor, he was still a court consort, and even a celebrity around the Holy Majesty.

After the yamen servant took the order, Lin Zegang was put in prison, and Liu Wei ordered someone to retry the prison. The people outside the lobby couldn't help but praise Liu Wei for doing things so happily.

"Lord Liu punishes rape and eradicates evil, it is true that the world is blue and sky is the same."

"That's right, Liu Qingtian's coming to Chang'an City is a blessing to the people of Chang'an..."

The people gradually dispersed, but their words were still being sung in Chang'an City, and still lingered in Liu Wei's ears. Is it really that difficult to be a good official?Liu Wei really doesn't understand, as long as he is willing to do things for the people, he can become a good official, but why are there so many corrupt officials in this world?

This is a puzzling problem, but Liu Wei has never thought about how to solve this historic problem, because he knows that this problem is not easy to solve, because it involves human nature.

Human nature is complex and fickle, and a person who can really stick to his heart can become a good official no matter how difficult the conditions are, but if a person loses his heart, then even if the court system is very strict, as strict as As in the Ming Dynasty, some people will still become corrupt officials.

In the final analysis, whether to be greedy or not to be greedy depends on people's hearts, not on the system, but people's hearts are unpredictable, and the world is unpredictable.

When thinking this way, Liu Wei smiled bitterly, and then told Zhugepi: "Transfer all the files to the palace, where I will re-examine the files."

"Yes, don't worry, my lord."
