Chapter 99 Female Body Leaked
Zhong Yishi was rescued, and her daughter's body was naturally exposed.
Fortitude is judging Yang Jianshan.
Yang Jianshan was shot in both legs, and the jailer only bandaged him hastily and carried him to the lobby. The blood stagnated quickly in the cold weather, and the wound stopped bleeding, but it was painful.
He knew that he would not be able to get out alive, so he gritted his teeth and allowed Gangyi to torture him no matter what he said.
Seeing that he could not pry his mouth open, Gangyi became angry and immediately ordered him to be dragged to the execution ground and executed in Lingchi.
Shandong Province Supervisor Yu Shi Chang Yuji was inspecting criminal proceedings in Texas. He heard that the Minister of the Ministry of War came to Futai Yamen to review the case. He arrived in time and saw that he was determined to execute the criminal in Lingchi. His duty must not be ignored.
"Master Zhongtang, it is against the laws of the Qing Dynasty to punish criminals without trial and punishment..."
"Who are you?" Gangyi said angrily.
"The lower official is Chang Yuji, the censor of Shandong Road of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
"Hmph, the rebels can be killed on the spot for causing rebellion, so why hand them over to the Ministry of Punishment? As a censor, don't you even understand these things?"
"Master Zhongtang, if you lead the troops to clear out the rebels and bandits, you can naturally kill them on the spot. However, since you have captured the criminals and they are in the lobby of the mansion, you must abide by the criminal proceedings regulations."
He was very unhappy when his fortitude was contradicted in public. On ordinary days, he would never take the little censor seriously. But now he is not doing things well, has lost his tax money, and is on the cusp of the storm, so he has to restrain himself.
Gangyi had no choice but to put Yang Jianshan on death row. Chang Yuji told the jailer: "This man is a repeat offender of the imperial court. He cannot be allowed to die in prison."
There are regulations in the Prison Law of the Great Qing Dynasty, which stipulate that for the treatment of prisoners, "one liter of granary rice is given every day, and a piece of woolen clothing is given in cold weather. The shackles are washed frequently, mats are often laid out, good pulp is prepared in the summer, warm beds are provided in the winter, and medicines are provided for diseases." Although the prisons are rarely used
There are some who do not abuse prisoners, but with the patrol censor in front of them, the jailers dare not violate the regulations.
Thanks to Chang Yuji's "strict law enforcement," Yang Jianshan managed to save his life for the time being.
Gangyi asked if the young man was awake, and the jailer came to report, "Master Zhongtang, that young man is a woman."
"Is it a woman?"
"Yes, she was disguised as a man, and she took off her clothes...only to see that she was actually a girl."
"Bring it up."
Zhong Yishi was soaked to the skin, covered with mud and water, and looked dirty. Those tricky jailers did not want to get involved, so they assigned an older and honest junior jailer to change her clothes.
The jailer's name was You Jia, and he filled the gap left by his father. The job of a jailer was of no rank, with a very low salary, and a bad reputation. Those who were capable would not want to do it, and those who were insignificant would not be able to do it.
When Youjia's father was a jailer, the atmosphere in the officialdom was not too bad, and the management of the prison was extremely strict. Although there were bullying and blackmailing of prisoners, they did not dare to do so blatantly. Unlike today's prisons, which are like hell, no matter whether they are rich or poor, they do not
People have to peel off their skin once they enter.
Youjia's father came from a poor family, was always compassionate, and never made things difficult for others. He taught his son by words and deeds, asking him to fulfill his own duties, build good relationships, accumulate negative virtues, and not to make things difficult for others.
You Jia worked hard in prison, and all the dirty work was his. You Jia lit a fire to keep warm and changed clothes for Zhong Yishi. When he found out that she was a woman, he did not dare to touch her anymore and immediately called the warden of the women's prison.
Yoshi Chung was not humiliated.
Zhong Yishi put on dry clothes, drank a bowl of hot water, slowly recovered, and was escorted to the lobby.
Gangyi looked at her delicate appearance and wondered why a weak woman could dress up as a man and become a thief, so he asked her to give her name.
Thinking that if she walked on the canal with the escort boat for a long time, it was inevitable that someone would know her name, so Zhong Yishi did not dare to give her real name. In desperation, she reported her name as Zhang Xing's sister Zhang Xiu.
After receiving Zhang Xiu's name, he simply followed this line of thinking and recognized Zhang Shengxiang, the patrol censor, as his father.
Chang Yuji heard from the sidelines that she was the daughter of a colleague and refused to believe it. Gang Yi also didn't believe it and said: "Zhang Shengxiang was dismissed from his post and sent to his hometown. How can you be her daughter? Brave female thieves, stop making up nonsense. You
This one with delicate skin and tender flesh cannot withstand torture!"
Zhong Yishi said: "The daughter of the guilty minister is now in ruins, so why make it up."
Let me tell you in detail about the robbery in Taihang Mountain.
"Zhang Shengxiang died at the hands of bandits? Then why did you become a bandit again?"
Zhong Yishi expected that his master would never reveal her identity in order to protect him, so he dared to make up the story boldly, saying: "Zhang Xiu did not become a gangster because he was homeless and begging for a living. He passed through the canal
On the shore, I was so hungry that I saw the bandits robbed the boat and dispersed, so I wanted to get on the boat to find some food..."
This is quite reasonable. Gangyi called the soldiers who captured Zhong Yishi to confront him. One of the soldiers saw Wang Zhengyi push Zhong Yishi into the water and said: "She was shot down from the boat by the bandit."
Then a glimmer of hope appeared in front of Zhong Yishi.
Gangyi said: "Your father has been an official in the capital for many years, and he must have many hometown friends and relatives. Why don't you go and join them?"
"Firstly, the daughter of the guilty minister doesn't know who her father is related to; secondly, since my father is the guilty minister, how can a person in trouble have any friends."
Gangyi nodded, but he was not willing to completely believe her. He then escorted Wang Zhengyi up and asked the two to meet and observe their actions.
Zhong Yishi couldn't help but be moved when he saw that his master had been beaten all over his body, was unconscious, and felt sad. He observed her words and expressions with determination and saw sadness on her face, and said, "Do you recognize him?"
"Who is he?" Zhong Yishi asked.
"I want to ask you, if you don't recognize him, why do you look concerned?"
Zhong Yishi sneered and said: "My father is a royal censor, and the daughter of a guilty minister knows some of the rules of the punishment hall. The laws of the Qing Dynasty prohibit severe punishments on criminals. He was beaten like this. Everyone would be frightened when he saw him."
Sympathy. Sir, is this your handiwork?"
Gangyi glanced at Chang Yuji and said: "Anyone can kill a bandit like this who does all kinds of evil. Besides, your family was originally harmed by the bandit. How can you sympathize with him?"
"If you don't tell me, how would the daughter of the guilty minister know that he is a bandit?"
Gang Yixin said, it turned out that she was the censor's daughter, she was sharp-tongued and eloquent. There was a censor in the hall who was supervising the interrogation. It was better not to ask any more questions, so he ordered Zhong Yishi to be adjourned for another trial.
Although Zhang Shengxiang was dismissed for corruption and his family suffered, he was a censor after all. As a colleague, Chang Yuji could not help but feel sad for the death of a rabbit and a fox. He sympathized with "Zhang Xiu", so he personally took care of the jailer and locked her up in solitary confinement.
Treat well.
The case has reached this point and cannot be tried any further. The magistrate of Dezhou has been reviewing cases all year round. He watched from the sidelines with a clear eye. He couldn't help but secretly cursed the tough idiot. The trial lasted for a long time and he didn't even check the name and address of the criminal. He only used punishment and listened to the criminal.
It was a one-sided statement that he deserved to be robbed. If the money cannot be recovered, let’s see what happens to him.
However, the case occurred within the jurisdiction of Dezhou, and the prefect was responsible for dereliction of duty, but he could not sit idly by, so he coughed and said: "Master Zhongtang, you have bravely retreated from the bandits. You have worked hard all night. Why don't you go back to the post house to rest for a while?
