"If a family has dissatisfied sons, the family will not be destroyed; if the state has dissatisfied ministers, the country will not be destroyed."
"What is said is true, Yao and Shun cannot be wrong about it; what is said is wrong, sages cannot be wrong about it!"
"A gentleman cries out when he is unjust."
"Are these all false?"
Yu Lu looked sideways, and outside the screen, Chai Kejing saw a tough guy being killed with a stick. Not only was he not afraid or modest, but his face was as red as if he had drunk fine wine.
The excitement could be discerned from Chai Kejing's tone when he asked another civil servant.
"What about you, do you want to be a tough guy, or do you want to plead guilty honestly?"
The civil servant in question was so frightened that he trembled when he saw his colleague being killed with a stick, but the survival rules he had always kept in mind still made him hesitate and did not confess immediately.
As soon as he hesitated, Chai Kejing's face once again filled with murderous intent, and his smile became more ferocious. He heard the prefect who had just ordered someone to kill a person with a stick shouting: "Come here, kill this tough guy with a stick again."
, you can call them the two men in the court from now on, and I will personally make them famous!"
The Yamen official responded with a bang and walked over to the clerk.
Seeing the Yamen coming up to hold him back, the clerk finally couldn't stand it any longer and cried and shouted: "Master Magistrate, I say, I say!"
"shut up!"
At this moment, the ninth-rank official slowly woke up from the pain, and heard the clerk's cry. The breath he finally took in was almost choked back, and he subconsciously yelled.
"Ouch!"
Okay, there is also this court official who refuses to confess!
Chai Kejing smiled grimly and said to the man who was sentenced to death for the ninth rank official: "This tough guy would rather die than surrender. He can be called a righteous man. Why are you still standing there? He must be benevolent and be benevolent - first cut off his fingers."
!”
The two cadres who had given the ninth-rank official the punishment of "拶子" did not respond. They just looked at each other and pulled hard at the same time.
"ah--"
The brutal screams once again exceeded human limits.
Yu Lu behind the screen, even though he had already passed the previous incident of someone being beaten to death with a cane, still trembled subconsciously when he heard this sound.
Looking outside the screen, Yu Lu immediately understood why the ninth-rank official screamed so miserably at the miserable scene.
Originally, because of his official status, even if he was punished, he could not really use torture at the beginning. At least there were two civil servants, so this official used the painful but not fatal punishment of "beating the child", and torture
People also have a sense of proportion, allowing them pain but not breaking their bones.
But with the orders of the prefect Chai Kejing, everything changed.
The person who tortured him naturally knew how to make him disabled in one blow. With just one blow, he pinched off the ten fingers of the ninth-rank official. How could those hands be human fingers?
Not to mention the dripping blood, the white bones that were exposed were just stuck out.
Yu Lu couldn't help but feel nauseous and wanted to vomit, so she hurriedly looked away.
For an injury like this, if we treat him in time and find a local doctor who is best at treating trauma, he can straighten the bones and wrap them up. I'm afraid the hands of this ninth-grade official will also become useless.
I'm probably lucky to be able to barely save ten fingers.
It’s impossible to pick up a pen and write again!
The above can only happen if these nine-level organs can be healed in time and let go by Chai Kejing.
In fact, since Chai Kejing dared to have the official's fingers clipped off, it was impossible to let him go again.
After a scream, the tortured officer fainted because he could not bear the pain.
Another civil servant was trembling with fear, but when he saw that even the officials were being tortured like this, he immediately collapsed completely.
He has also been in official circles for a long time, so he naturally understands.
The matter has been done to this extent. Not to mention that the ninth-grade officer is guilty, even if he is not guilty, he will not be able to escape alive. It is most likely to commit suicide out of fear of crime.
In this case, nothing matters, either death or sacrifice.
The civil servant lay spread out on the ground, completely convinced.
Behind the screen, Yu Lu sat with his eyes lowered, listening to loud and low voices asking questions from outside, accompanied by occasional sobs and crying answers.
After a while, Chai Kejing came in excitedly from outside the screen and saluted Su Ziji: "Grandson, we have the evidence."
"I already had clues, but now that the evidence has been printed, it basically matches."
"Now, the gap is open!"
Yu Lu sat aside and smelled the strong smell of blood on Chai Kejing's body.
It was clear that the person who carried out the execution was not Chai Kejing himself, but the feeling that Chai Kejing gave Yu Lu was more bloody than that of the Yamen who carried out the execution.
In the past, Yu Lu would have scolded him, and even now, his eyes would be a bit wrong. However, at this moment, Yu Lu could sit on one side with a calm expression, watching Chai Kejing report to the grandson.
Su Ziji took the bloody confession and read it again, thoughtfully.
Chai Kejing looked at his grandson and said nothing. His voice gradually became lower and lower, and he even felt a little frightened. He looked at his grandson from time to time.
"Don't panic." Su Ziji woke up from deep thought and smiled easily: "What you did was right, don't doubt yourself."
"For this kind of thing, you have to be quick, ruthless and accurate."
"Don't let anyone have the opportunity to connect."
Su Ziji's words made Chai Kejing blush and bow quickly: "This all depends on your guidance, my great grandson. I just act according to the rules."
Su Ziji smiled and nodded: "The city wall is strong, so it doesn't hurt to use some contingency measures, but when the gap opens, you can't be willful."
"I told you that the first priority is to keep all government offices functioning and united."
"Not to mention those who are not implicated, even if the officials are implicated, the yamen where they are located cannot cause trouble - I have the power of expediency. If you recommend me, I can appoint a deputy."
"At all times, the yamen must be fully functioning, functioning properly, and on my side."
"Yes, yes!" Chai Kejing responded repeatedly, and his original pride turned cold. He understood that the grandson wanted him to communicate with the county officials one by one.
Government offices and officials who are not involved must make their stance clear.
In the yamen involved, those who should be arrested will be arrested. However, if the position is to be temporarily promoted to a deputy manager, you must also stand on your own side, no, on the side of the grandson.
Then all the yamen and officials in the county must unite to decide who to kill, who to copy, and how to make up for the shortfall.
Finally, a relatively long-term strategy must be presented, not simply treating the symptoms, for this matter to be considered complete.
Chai Kejing had to admire that if it were him, he would probably only take the first step, which is to kill those silverfish, and he would not be able to think of anything else.
Now that I think about it, I can't help but be deeply impressed.
"When arresting people, don't kill anyone except those who resist the arrest. Leave them all to Zhang Dai."
"yes."
Chai Kejing agreed, and Su Ziji added: "Also, the person you sent will bring a letter to Fang Xi."
These words caused Chai Kejing to raise his head slightly and glance at his grandson. The corner of his eye glanced at Yu Lu who was sitting, and he couldn't help but feel a hint of envy in his heart.
It's great that Yu Lu and Fang Xi are just two new Jinshis, but they have a relationship with Taisun. If Taisun can ascend to the throne in the future, these two new Jinshis may have a bright future.
Some of the things I just said have actually been discussed a long time ago. I am repeating them now not only to remind myself of them, but also to give me some rules to ponder.
However, Chai Kejing thought again that although he was unlucky, he was not necessarily the unluckiest one. As long as he could win this big gamble, he might be able to achieve great success and rise to great heights.
Chai Kejing, who was doing some mental construction for himself, just stayed aside and waited.
But Yu Lu was a little confused when he heard Taisun said that he wanted Chai Kejing to bring a letter to Fang Xi.
