He Feng was very satisfied with his answer. He turned around and looked at Han Qiancheng and said, "No matter how much Cheng'er behaves, it's impossible to bring outsiders into the mountain without permission. Is it possible that Xin Zuo took advantage of Cheng'er's drunkenness and pretended to be Gale?"
How did you sneak in?"
Han Qiancheng raised his eyebrows and followed his words: "It's not impossible."
He Feng breathed a sigh of relief. He saluted Han Qiancheng and said, "Colluding with outsiders is not a trivial matter. Please investigate and clear Cheng'er's name."
Han Qiancheng nodded: "This is natural." He waved his hand and said: "Keep fighting."
Hearing this, his men picked up whips and continued to beat him, and He Cheng's screams sounded again in the yard.
He Feng was shocked. He looked at Han Qiancheng and said, "What do you mean?"
Han Qiancheng said: "As long as Mr. Ling can withstand these one hundred whips, I believe that the matter of copycats infiltrating Xizuo has nothing to do with him."
"A hundred lashes?"
He Feng looked at him with wide eyes and said, "Do you want to beat people to death? Han Qiancheng, I respect you as a gentleman, but you don't want to bully people too much."
Han Qiancheng leaned on the chair, his chin exposed under the mask was slightly raised, and he looked very disdainful: "The second master is in charge of everything in Qingfeng Village, but you didn't find that Qingfeng Village had mixed up with Xingzuo. Isn't it your dereliction of duty?
I am dealing with He Cheng in accordance with the rules of Qingfeng Village, but you want to obstruct it. Are you trying to protect him, or are you tacitly agreeing to collude with the court and let Xi Zuo go to the mountain?"
"you......"
He Feng pointed angrily at Han Qiancheng, who was trembling all over: "Don't spit on others."
Han Qiancheng relaxed his eyebrows and said: "He Cheng said that this matter had nothing to do with him, but he couldn't provide convincing evidence. Furthermore, it was originally him who disobeyed the village leader's order and caused these things.
If he hadn't gone down the mountain privately, how could Xizuo have gotten in? Do you think he should be punished?"
He Feng was speechless by his rebuttal. He said with a dark face: "Cheng'er is not in good health. I'm afraid he will die if you give him a hundred whips. Mr. Han, please show me your noble hand. I am willing to take the punishment on his behalf."
."
As he spoke, he lifted his robe and knelt down.
Han Qiancheng glanced at him and said: "If you make a mistake, you should be punished. If everyone is like the second master, then where are the rules?
Today's one hundred lashes, He Cheng has to accept no one's pleas. If the second master wants to kneel, then he can continue to kneel."
He looked away and looked at He Cheng, who had been beaten so hard that he had no strength to call for help. It had only been less than fifty blows, and he couldn't bear it anymore.
Also, although He Cheng is a bandit, he has been pampered since he was a child. Where has he ever suffered like this?
Han Qiancheng lazily leaned on the chair and said, "If you recruit me from the truth, I can spare your life."
He Cheng was really in pain. One whip after another hit his body, leaving his skin and flesh torn. He would rather Han Qiancheng gave him a knife and let him die.
He wasn't a tough guy to begin with, so when he heard Han Qiancheng's offer of life, he didn't even think about it and hurriedly said, "I'll recruit, I'll recruit."
Han Qiancheng waved to his men to stop and said, "Go ahead."
He Cheng raised his head and looked at Han Qiancheng who was sitting on the chair and said, "I brought three people up the mountain, but I don't know their identities.
They saved my life. During our chat, I learned that the three brothers came to Qingyuan County to seek medical treatment, but the Dr. Zeng they were looking for was arrested by you.
In order to repay their life-saving grace, I took them to Qingfeng Village on my own initiative, just to ask Dr. Zeng to treat them, that's all."
Han Qiancheng raised his eyebrows and asked in a calm voice: "Can they tell you what their last name is?"
