Chapter 154 Use punishment first!
When Wang Shiyong changed into his official uniform and hurried to the main hall of Kaifeng Mansion, he saw a person sitting in his own seat.
After taking a closer look, I found that standing on the left side of the lobby were the current Dazai Li Gang and Shao Zai, and Li Ruobing, who was also in charge of the staff. The person sitting in the staff position preparing pen and ink was the current Yushitai leader. Standing on the right side of Shen Hao are He Ji, who is nicknamed "Living Yama" in the official circles, and Yang Zaixing, who is nicknamed "Ban Tan".
After swallowing back the "Who is so bold" that was already in his throat, Wang Shiyong hurriedly took two steps forward, walked around the table, bowed to Zhao Huan, and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Shiyong, Meet the officials."
Zhao Huan gave Wang Shiyong a cold look and said, "Stay aside. I will settle your account with you later."
After Wang Shiyong bowed and stood aside, Zhao Huan looked at the strong man who had broken a leg and was slumped in the lobby like mud at the moment and said: "Come on, tell me now, whose family this Kaifeng Mansion belongs to." , who has the final say!”
The strong man had been completely stunned when Zhao Huan sat on the main chair in the lobby and the imperial army replaced the Kaifeng government official. At this moment, when Zhao Huan asked him, the whole man suddenly kowtowed like a chicken eating rice, kowtowing and screaming at the same time. Said: "The common people are ignorant and have never recognized the power of the dragons of the officials. I hope the officials will be merciful! I hope the officials will be merciful and spare this villain!"
"Snapped!"
Zhao Huan slapped his hands violently and shouted: "Answer my question! Whose family does this Kaifeng Mansion belong to, and who has the final say!"
The strong man was completely stunned. He held back the pain of his broken leg and raised his head. He said stupidly: "This Kaifeng Mansion belongs to the government, so naturally it is the government that has the final say!"
Zhao Huan then shook his head, turned to He Ji and ordered: "Let people arrest all the beggars in the city, big and small, and bring all the children who have fallen into their hands to the lobby."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Huan actually squinted his eyes and began to rest with his eyes closed.
The imperial army blocked all the city gates and streets, and the Imperial City Department and the Palace Department went out to arrest people. It only took about an hour to arrest all the beggars in Kaifeng Mansion, and He Ji brought the people back to resume their duties.
It was only at this time that Zhao Huan knew how powerful the so-called beggars gang was——
There were more than a thousand beggars arrested in the entire Kaifeng Mansion, and there were more than 200 children taken with them. There was no room for them to stand in the entire Kaifeng Mansion lobby, and even the street in front of the Kaifeng Mansion lobby was blocked. These people occupied the area, and the people watching on the roadside were actually pushed to both sides by these beggars!
Zhao Huan looked at the beggars in the lobby and couldn't help but sigh to himself——
As the saying goes, you can tell the whole leopard by looking at a spot. There are thousands of beggars and more than two hundred children in one city of Kaifeng Prefecture. If we extend this to the entire Song Dynasty? How many beggars should there be? How many beggars should there be? How many children have been harmed by these chivalrous gangs of beggars in Zha Mouyong's works?
"Let this person be tortured first."
Zhao Huan pointed at the strong man kneeling on the ground and sneered: "After the torture, let him identify his men and all the beggar heads in Bianjing City. If there is any omission, kill him first." Scald it with boiling water, then find an iron brush and give it a good rinse."
"I'll move! I'll move! I'll move them all!"
The strong man didn't care about anything else. When he heard the word torture, he shouted crazily: "There is no need to torture. If the officials want to ask questions, the common people will call them one by one. They will never dare."
There is half a degree of deception!”
Zhao Huan shook his head, casually took a file from the desk in front of him and read it.
The so-called torture is actually a kind of punishment used on women. It involves putting all ten fingers of the prisoner into the torturer and then tightening it tightly - as the ropes at both ends are tightened little by little, the eleven wooden sticks are used.
The gap between them will become smaller and smaller until all ten fingers of the prisoner are pinched off.
And although this beggar named Jin Zhi is dressed in rags, his family has a house and farmland, and he is a beggar who has been passed down for three generations. He has been well clothed and well-fed since he was a child, but has he ever suffered any real hardships?
More importantly, the guards who replaced the ordinary government officials hated Jin Zhi deeply - they were brainwashed repeatedly.
They regard Zhao Huan as a god, and now some people dare to blaspheme the gods in their hearts?
The clamp was tightened little by little, and when it was almost no longer able to be tightened, it would be quietly relaxed and then slowly tightened. Jin Zhi, who was in so much pain that he could not speak, fainted again and again and was frozen again and again.
Water wakes up.
It wasn't until Zhao Huan noticed something was wrong and turned to glare at He Ji that He Ji coughed and said, "Let him go first and let him confess."
"I'll do it! I'll do it all!"
Being woken up by the biting ice water again, Jin Zhi ignored the pain on his fingers and turned around in a panic, pointing at the beggars one after another and shouting: "He, he, him, and him, Wang Mazi, check
Bad Shui, Chen Jiji, Fu Chunbing, these people are all top leaders in Bianjing City."
The identified group leaders were quickly pulled out from the crowd of beggars by the guards in front of the palace.
"Together we will be tortured."
Zhao Huan rubbed his forehead and ordered: "After the execution, let them confess. Where did these children come from?"
…
shocking!
None of the children brought to the lobby by the Imperial City Secretary and the Dianqian Secretary were from Bianjing City. They were all bought or abducted from other places and then mutilated by these people!
When the trial reached this level, it was not only Zhao Huan, Li Gang, Li Ruobing and others who were completely shocked, but even the people who were watching the official trial were also shocked!
Wang Shiyong, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, was also completely shocked - although Wang Shiyong likes concubines and money, even Wang Shiyong himself thinks that he is not a good person, or Wang Shiyong thinks that he can barely be considered a good person
Officials, at least, treat the people fairly well!
But Wang Shiyong never expected that the Kaifeng Mansion under his rule would have such a dark side!
Until he was awakened by the shouts and beatings of the people, Wang Shiyong rushed to Jin Zhi, kicked Jin Zhi on the shoulder and asked: "Say! What do those lost children in Kaifeng Mansion have to do with you?"
relation!"
"I'll do it! I'll do it!"
Afraid of being served and tortured again, Jin Zhi hurriedly replied: "Most of the children lost in Bianjing City were found to have bad water and sold to tuantou in other prefectures for cutting!"
After hearing this answer, Wang Shiyong couldn't help but his legs softened and he collapsed on the ground.
It’s over, it’s all fucking over. Since he took office, Kaifeng Mansion has lost as many as eighty children, if not a hundred, and all of them were sold and killed by these unscrupulous people!
