"Ascension~!"

"mighty…!"

A piece of gavel, with a "mighty" sound, I don't know how many ghosts and snakes have been shocked since ancient times!

In the early morning of the second day, at three o'clock in the morning, the county government office in Lantian County had been surrounded by the people for several times, with three floors and three floors outside. With the photograph of Dai Zhu's gavel, the much-anticipated public trial meeting finally began!

It is said that Shaoqing of Dali Temple personally presided over the trial today, which made the people feel the importance of the court to the case, and they could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Bring the criminals Fan Tong and Fan Jianqiang to court!"

Above the court, Dai Zhou, as the presiding judge, naturally took the first seat, the magistrate He was second, and Li Zexuan, as the "attendant", sat in the first position on the side and acted as an audience. Dai Zhou slapped the gavel again and shouted loudly.

"Bring the criminals Fan Tong and Fan Jianqiang to court!"

Naturally, someone spread his words far and wide. After a while, four yamen officers escorted Fan Tong and Fan Jianqiang and their son into the courtroom.

Compared with the high-spirited and arrogant faces of the previous days, the Fan family and their sons are no longer in high spirits now, especially after seeing Dai Zhou sitting at the head of the court and wearing a dark crimson official uniform (representing a fourth-rank official). , Fan Tong's heart is half cold!

Because since the presiding judge is a fourth-rank officer, it means that the imperial court has begun to intervene in his case! And how can the things he did before stand up to the investigation?

"The people in the hall, but Fan Tong and Fan Jianqiang?"

Dai Zhou's eyes flashed, and he shouted in a deep voice.

Dai Zhou, who is in charge of Dali Temple's prison, has an aura that is not comparable to that of ordinary local magistrates. This loud shout made the Fan family's father and son panic.

"Report to Shangguan, the old man is Fan Tong!"

"...Yes! I...I am Fan Jianqiang!"

Fan Tong was relatively calm, but Fan Jianqiang was almost scared to pee by Dai Zhou's aura at the beginning, and he stuttered when he spoke.

"Okay! Fan Tong, this official asks you, in the four years of martial arts, have you ever, together with eight grain merchants, hoarded and raised the price of grain?"

Dai Zhou didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point.

Fan Tong's eyes flashed, and he stepped forward and replied, "Reporting to Shangguan, Fan has always been honest in his business, and he has never done such a hoarding evil thing!"

"Humph! Don't eat a toast and eat a fine drink, come here, pass the testimonial - Hu Jinhua goes to court!"

Dai Zhou sneered and ordered.

"Here!"

The yamen had to bring witnesses, and Fan Tong, who was in the hall, heard the words "Hu Jinhua", but his expression suddenly changed.

After a while, a yamen officer brought an old man in plain clothes, Dai Zhou asked, "Is the person under the hall Hu Jinhua?"

The old man in plain clothes cupped his hands and said, "Back to Shangguan, a certain person is Hu Jinhua!"

"Hu Jinhua, this official asks you, six years ago, did you work with Fan Tong and other grain merchants to drive up grain prices around the capital?"

Hu Jinhua said with pain on his face: "Master Hui, it's true! When Master Fan found Hu and others, he said that he was taking advantage of the drought and the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks to hoard food and grass and make huge profits. The price of grain has soared from three cents a bucket to ten cents a bucket! It didn't take long for the imperial court to realize that, while the sage ordered the government to stabilize the grain price, he ordered the Lantian county magistrate to thoroughly investigate the merchants who were driving up the grain price!

At that time, Hu and several others were all arrested, their property was confiscated, and they were tortured with a cane. Only Fan Tong survived. Due to the power of the Shaxian magistrate, after I was released, I immediately kept my name incognito and dared not to dare any more. Do business! "

"Fuck! You...you are talking nonsense! The old man never knew you!"

Fan Tong immediately became anxious, his eyes were red, and he wanted to swallow Hu Jinhua alive!

"Huh! There is also the account book where Mr. Fan and us jointly purchased the grain. At that time, Mr. Fan didn't have enough money, so he still borrowed a sum of money from Mr. Hu. The account book and IOU are all here. Did Mr. Hu talk nonsense, sir? You can see at a glance!"

Hu Jinhua sneered, took out two things from his sleeves, and said.

"Bring it up quickly!"

Dai Zhou hurriedly said.

The yamen took the evidence from Hu Jinhua and handed it over to Dai Zhou.

Dai Zhou opened it and said angrily: "Humph! Daring Fan Tong, who is above the court, dares to deceive this official! Now that there are witnesses and physical evidence, what else do you have to say? Come on, go down first, Twenty sticks!"

"Yes!"

The two yamen, like hungry wolves, rushed towards Fan Tong.

Fan Tong's dead souls are all gone. He has been pampered for so long, how can he endure the twenty stick torture? It was estimated that half of his life would be lost, so he hurriedly said:

"My lord, Fan pleads guilty! Fan knows he's wrong! Please forgive me!"

Dai Zhou said coldly, "Drag down, hit!"

For some people, this torture is tantamount to killing a mighty stick, and he won't be able to explain it honestly if he doesn't beat him a dozen times!

"Bang!"

"Ouch! Your lord, spare your life!"

All of a sudden, the inside of the county office was filled with sticks into the flesh and Fan Tong's pleadings, and the people watching outside the hall were so excited to see it!

A quarter of an hour later, Fan Tong was brought back to the court like a dead dog. Dai Zhou did not give him a chance to breathe, and continued:

"Fan Tong, the charges that the Japanese official asked you about today are all human and material evidence. If you still dare to conceal the sophistry, don't blame the official for being rude!"

Fan Tong's face was pale, facing such a ruthless court official, his body

His heart was under enormous pressure, and at this moment, when Dai Zhou said this again, he trembled:

"Fan doesn't dare! Fan doesn't dare!"

Dai Zhou nodded and asked again: "Then the official will ask you again, five years of martial arts, you gouliansha county magistrate wantonly embezzled other people's property and shops, is it true?"

"It's true... Fan pleaded guilty!"

"Then the official will ask you again..."

"Fan pleaded guilty..."

The next trial was particularly smooth. Fan Tong confessed to the four counts in succession. Dai Zhou was thirsty for what he said on it. At this time, he pursed his lips, his eyes narrowed, and he said solemnly:

"In the sixth year of martial arts, Baixing Village was attacked by horse bandits and suffered several massacres. Is it related to you? Are you afraid of Bai Xiaodie's case and ask the nearby bandits to help you kill it?"

Fan Tong, who had pleaded guilty earlier, changed his face greatly, and hurriedly shook his head in denial: "Sir... Your Excellency! This case has absolutely nothing to do with Fan! Fan is just a businessman, how can you recognize a bandit? Great... Your lord knows it! Fan has been wronged!"

He can confess to other sins, because at most it is to forfeit his family property and suffer some punishment, but for this crime, he absolutely cannot confess, because if he confesses, his life and wealth will be lost!

When the people outside the hall saw that Fan Tong refused to admit his guilt, they cursed in a low voice.

Dai Zhou's face was sinking like water, his face darkened, and he said coldly, "This official will give you another chance, do you really plead not guilty?"

Fan Tong was sweating profusely and said, "Sir, Fan has been wronged..."

"Humph! I really don't cry without seeing the coffin! Come on, the witnesses, Bai Yue and Fan Shicheng!"
