The ninth-grade official was still screaming just now, but now he fainted.
The civil servant's face was as white as snow, his arms and legs were really trembling, and his body was shaking.
The smell of blood permeated the air, but the two civil servants had not seen such tragic scenes before. In the past, they had seen too many people being tortured in the yamen.
Worse things can be found everywhere.
Usually, when a prisoner is sentenced to death, the appetizer is a stick, followed by a hot iron, and even more gruesome punishments.
But what the civil servants were afraid of was that the dignified magistrate did not follow the law and directly punished the imperial officials.
Ninth grade, he is also an official of the imperial court!
He looked up at Chai Kejing, who was still smiling ferociously, and wanted to say something.
But civil servants who have been in the officialdom for a long time know better that so-called surrenders, reports, etc. cannot be said to be meaningless, but they are meaningless here.
It is forgivable to kill one person, but not forgivable to kill ten people?
Once this matter is exposed by one's own prosecution, no matter how much one pleads guilty, it will be meaningless.
Even if he really spares his life, he will offend the entire officialdom and the powerful people who cannot afford to offend him. At that time, he is afraid that not only will he not survive, but he will also be wiped out.
Under Chai Kejing's cold question, the civil servant fell to the ground with a thud and his body trembled slightly. He looked extremely frightened, but he still clenched his teeth and did not say a word.
"Okay, he is a tough-talking person who is not afraid of death." As soon as Chai Kejing slapped the table, a gray light shone in his eyes.
For any powerful organization, if you are not afraid of death and resist stubbornly, not only will you not gain admiration, but you will gain greater wrath and more terrible punishment.
Not to mention the previous dynasty, this is the current dynasty. There was a time when someone refused to plead guilty, and the government was immediately furious. Originally he was hanged, but now he is sentenced to beheading the whole family.
Why, because the foundation of all government agencies is based on the deterrence of force. If you dare to show that "the people are not afraid of death", it will dare to "kill them all"
Seeing someone with backbone, sparing one's life, or admiring someone, these are the ramblings of a pedantic scholar.
Those who are killed are those with bones.
"Since you are not afraid of death, you have backbone, and you are a real man, then how can I not help you? Come here! Give me a stick to kill you immediately. No need to drag you out, just kill you with a stick in the hall!"
The civil servant refused to compromise, and Chai Kejing, who asked the question, did not even hesitate. He gave a cold shout, called to the people around him, and killed the civil servant with a stick.
"ah……"
When the civil servant heard this, he was immediately stunned. He seemed to have never expected that the prefect could be so ruthless. He didn't even find a crime to blame, but just killed him with a stick like this!
Although he is not a high-ranking official, he is still an official within the establishment, let alone a convicted criminal!
The clerk opened his mouth to say something, but a ball of stinky stuff was forcefully stuffed into his mouth.
"No!" The clerk was really panicked. He shook his head desperately and wanted to spit out the things and beg for mercy. Now his courage and persistence have turned into snow water.
Without any hesitation, the officer grabbed both arms and held them tightly. His hair was even grabbed by someone, and he turned his whole body towards Chai Kejing, not wanting to face Chai Kejing.
Chai Kejing just looked at him with a sneer. The civil servant could not speak, thinking about the fate he was about to face, which made his eyes split.
"Woooo..."
"Go to hell!" After being dragged a few meters away, a government official kicked the clerk. As soon as they let go, the clerk fell to the ground.
Two more people had already taken sticks and hit the clerk on him.
There was a muffled sound of "bang", and the clerk wanted to struggle to get up, but was hit by the stick and fell down. Although his mouth was gagged, a muffled scream immediately sounded.
The first few blows were so severe that the clerk could not spit out the contents from his mouth. The people behind the screen could only hear the whining sound and the muffled sound of the stick hitting the body.
"No!" The clerk reacted and felt extremely painful. He grabbed the stuff in his mouth with his hands and then begged for mercy. Another stick hit his spine hard, and everyone around him could faintly hear the sound of bones breaking.
The sound was a scream from a civil servant. There was almost no human voice in that sound, and it was extremely cruel.
Chai Kejing could see clearly that the man's eyes were protruding and blood was spurting from his mouth and nose.
This time, it actually cost him half his life.
"Fight, keep fighting, kill me immediately!"
The two chief servants swung their sticks fiercely in their hands and beat them down.
At the beginning of the beating, although he had the intention of beating him to death, he didn't let go completely. Now looking at the expression on the Lord's face, it is obvious that he is angry. He wants to use this civil servant to scare the monkeys. In this case, he cannot be allowed to die in ten years.
Inside the stick, you cannot let it die happily, you must let it die painfully, in order to achieve the effect.
Therefore, each stroke of the staff brought a scream. The scream was sharp at first, and then hoarse to the point where it was almost impossible to make a sound, like a broken bellows, but it was still roaring.
Just listening to it through the screen and not seeing it very clearly makes people feel creepy.
Even Yu Lu, who was almost killed by an arrow, was a little different from before, but he was not someone who had seen a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses. Hearing the shouts outside, he couldn't help but frown.
Forget about killing with a stick, one blow after another, so many blows, but the person was still not completely beaten to death, but there was never a call to stop in the middle. This was obviously because he wanted this person's life, but he didn't want to give him a happy life.
Killing someone but nodding his head, Yu Lu came up with this thought and subconsciously looked at Taisun.
This glance made Yu Lu slightly stunned.
I saw Taisun sitting peacefully, head slightly tilted, holding his chin with one hand, eyes half-closed, not sure whether he was meditating or listening.
He looked over, seemingly alarming his grandson. The young man sitting with his eyes lowered looked up.
The grandson's expression was calm, as if he had not heard the sound outside, and he said: "You are among the Jinshi, have you replied to your family? When we were studying with our classmates, none of the three of us thought that we would have this day. Do you still remember our classmates back then?
meeting?"
When Yu Lu heard his grandson talking about the past class reunion, his expression softened: "How can we forget this?"
"During the class reunion, you also taught us how to read."
"In the beginning, there were four more people who were elected. Apart from the two of us, one of them also won the Jinshi. Many people wanted to join, but they didn't dare to do so without your permission."
"Don't dare to be kind. Know how to be respectful. Did you show mercy just now?" Taisun said back again: "This is actually human nature."
"People outside the system rarely fear strength, but people within the system often see this kind of thing, and then they realize that any backbone, temper, and character are actually meaningless to the government."
"Feng Gu basically educates people, but when things really happen, whether it is yourself or the enemy, the harder you are, the more miserable you will be."
"I've seen it too much, so I'm afraid."
Just after he finished speaking, the sounds outside had stopped, and there was only the muffled sound of the stick hitting flesh or corpses. Hearing these sounds made people panic.
Of course, Yu Lu was probably the only one who really felt this "normal" at the scene.
It was only at this moment, recalling Taisun's calm expression, that Yu Lu seemed to really understand the relationship between the government and ordinary people.
"For this reason, I never want to lose." Taisun couldn't help but murmured.
