Chapter 1137

The next day, before it was clear, the people of Lan county went to the county government to see how the new magistrate tried the bully pan LAN.

By the time the hall was about to rise, the front of the Yamen had been surrounded.

It turns out that in the past eight years, the county government of Lan county only opened once a year ago. That time, Guo Zhengguo wanted to hear the old case in front of the county court. Who knows, he boasted Haikou in the court. After a few days, he was dead in a sad situation.

The common people heard yesterday that the new master Cui was going to try pan LAN today. First, they were curious about what it was like for the magistrate to handle the case, and wanted to see something new. Second, because pan LAN had been doing evil in Lan county for many years, which made the people feel angry and miserable. They were happy to hear that the bully had become a prisoner of the lower class, so they rushed to relieve their hatred.

With the sound of drums, the Yamen was opened, and hundreds of people swarmed in. In a moment, the whole corridor stood tight and airtight.

The twelve yamen officers headed by Fang Wu, holding a whip and a steel knife, were listed before the case.

It's only three days since the new magistrate arrived in Lan county. People don't know what the magistrate looks like. It's said that he is kind-hearted and amiable. Some people say that he is a man with a square face and a big mouth. Some people say that he is a fierce man with three heads and six arms. In the end, few people have really seen the new magistrate. It's just word of mouth.

So as soon as the curtain of the Court opened, everyone looked up and couldn't wait to see the true face of the new magistrate.

At the opening of the curtain, Cui Zhonglei entered the court step by step, wearing a black hat, black cloud soap shoes, and a green brocade official robe.

When people saw that he was only in his early twenties, with a face as white as jade, sword eyebrows and stars, and a handsome face, they were all stunned. They all sighed: "the new magistrate is so handsome!"

Several women couldn't help whispering: "I don't know if such a handsome young man has ever been married?"

A man beside him said, "what about marriage? Don't look at how old you are? Are you worthy of this handsome young man? There's no need for you to fall! What a beautiful thought

The women spat out their tongues and didn't dare to say anything, but they had already fantasized about it in their hearts. They were very red when they thought of the place where they were in love.

Cui Zhonglei didn't know it. He walked slowly up the stage and sat down after the case.

Wang man and Gao Rong were standing on both sides, while several Bookkeepers who just entered the county government yesterday sat down at the small table on one side of the case.

Cui Zhonglei called out: "rise to the throne!" The hall was silent.

Fang Wu was ordered to lead the two yamen officers to the prison to pick up the prisoners.

In a moment, the prisoner mentioned.

It's Qin Zhong, pan Lan's counselor.

Qin Zhong came to the hall and knelt down on his knees, afraid to look ahead.

Cui Zhonglei cheered: "the name of the criminal and what he did for a living! Not yet

Qin Zhong said quickly: "reply to your Excellency: the villain's surname is Qin Zhong. He was born here and grew up there. He is a native of Lan county. Fifteen years ago, villain was a member of Lan county school. At that time, pan Lan's father, master Pan Hong, would come to the school from time to time to talk with villains about knowledge. He had done several meritorious deeds under the advice of villains. His style of conduct was quite different from that of his son pan LAN, and he had won the praise of the people.

Five years later, when master Pan Hong died, the villain devoted himself to teaching and educating, and never had any relationship with Pan Fu. Who knows that eight years ago, pan LAN suddenly came to the school, let villain as his counselor, villain a literati, how can a counselor not a counselor? Therefore, he declined politely. Pan Lan was very angry. He scolded me for being ungrateful and threatened to show me the color.

The villains are old and small, so they have to follow. So the villain resigned from his position as a teacher of the school and came to Panfu to rely on others for survival. In the past eight years, although the villain has been trapped in a wolf's nest, he has never done anything to help the tiger. On the contrary, the villain also advised pan LAN from time to time to change his evil, abandon the evil and follow the good, which is his father's legacy. But it was no surprise that they were all rejected by Pan LAN. The villain's words are true. I hope you can learn from them! "

Cui Zhonglei said coldly: "you said that you worked very hard to persuade pan LAN to be good, but it had little effect! But your master pan Lan's crimes are numerous and hard to record! Now I'm investigating pan Lan's evil deeds in Lan county. There are no details. I should make a detailed investigation. You can't hide anything from me! If you let me know that you have half empty words, how can you live well? "

Qin Chong was busy and said, "my Lord, you are a good example! I don't dare to say anything

Cui Zhonglei added: "I now ask you: how many homicide cases did pan LAN commit in Lan county?"

Qin Zhong said, "my Lord, although pan LAN is corrupt and perverts the law, he has never done anything to harm people's lives."

Cui Zhonglei sneered: "full of lies! Guo Zhengguo was killed in Lan county. Isn't the murderer pan LAN

Qin Zhong kowtowed his head and said in a trembling voice, "my Lord, it's a lesson! Pan LAN is as surprised as villains about the murder of Guo Zhi county! "Cui Zhonglei doesn't believe it. He stares at Qin Zhong in doubt: "go on."

Qin Zhong went on quickly: "Guozhi county is very upright, so he can't tolerate pan Lan's hegemony in Lan county. He is determined to get rid of Pan LAN. Pan LAN has heard about it for a long time. However, although Guo Zhixian wanted to get rid of Pan LAN, he was just a newcomer, just like an adult -- "he took a look at Cui Zhonglei and didn't dare to go on.

Cui Zhonglei said, "go on!"

Qin Zhong continued: "Guozhi county is the same as when he first came here. He has only two attendants around him. In Pan Lan's opinion, all the big Lan county is under his control. The county yamen has been closed for a long time. No matter Fangzheng or yamen, or even soldiers, they are all his pan Lan's people. It's not easy for Guozhi county to get rid of him? Therefore, he didn't pay attention to Guo Zhixian. He just said, "before long, he will respect me as much as his predecessor and follow my orders."

Cui Zhonglei asked, "what happened later?"

Qin Zhong said: "then one morning, two servants rushed in and said that Guozhi county had been killed and the corpse was separated. They were thrown at the border between Lan county and Dali state! Pan Lan was furious when he heard this, and the veins on his neck came out. Because everyone knows that he can't get along with Guozhi county. Now that Guozhi county is killed, the world will surely force this homicide case on his head. So it's not to blame that he's not upset.

Finally, in order to get rid of the relationship, pan Lanxin forged an official document and gave it to the governor. He pretended that Guozhi county was killed because of his relatives, yamen servants and people in the city fighting with Hu people at the border. Not only that, pan Lan also sighed in the article, saying that Guozhi county was dedicated to the country and the people, and now unfortunately died for the country. In any case, Jingzhong should also be buried with the national ceremony. Seeing the feeling of Bi Haosheng, the governor of CI Shi presented his original text to the capital. As pan LAN expected, his majesty ordered people to transport the remains of Guozhi county to the capital and bury them with state ceremony. "

Cui Zhonglei patted the startling wood and said," what a load of nonsense! How dare you cheat me? Somebody! The great punishment is waiting on you Throw down two bamboo sticks and ask the Yamen officers to do it.

Qin Zhong yelled: "my Lord, the villain is wronged! It's wrong! "

The Yamen servants had long hated pan Fu's people. Hearing Yan's sneer, they opened their bows and beat Qin Chong's eyes. Soon, Qin Chong's cheeks were swollen.

Qin Zhong thought that this was the end, and the clinker yamen said with a sneer: "the end? This is just a slight punishment! The real big punishment is still to come! "

The Yamen servants rushed up, overturned him to the ground, stripped off his robe, and showed his buttocks. In a moment, the whip crackled.

Poor Qin Zhong, who was nearly 50 years old, was beaten by the whip and howled. But even so, he insisted that Pan LAN had nothing to do with the tragic death of Guo Zhi county.

After 20 lashes, Qin Zhong's buttocks were bloody and without a piece of good meat. Cui Zhonglei raised his hand to signal the Yamen officers to postpone the execution.

Let's not say that Qin Chong is old, and if he goes on like this, it means that he will not be killed. Cui Zhonglei also knows that since Pan LAN has fallen, Qin Zhong will not cover up for him. Moreover, Qin Zhong should understand that if he lies and his confession is different from that of others, he will be exposed and his crime will be aggravated.
