Northern Song Dynasty gangster: Start the game with a dog's head, and Mr. Bao spares his life

Hearing this, Du Shiniang almost passed out.

Cao Bin also had a cold look in his eyes, full of killing intent.

The onlookers were very excited, especially the man, whose eyes were already glowing green.

You know, according to the laws of the Song Dynasty, you have to take off your pants and show your buttocks when using a stick.

If he really did that, Du Shiniang would have no choice but to die.

There is no pleading paper for the complaint, the lawsuit is leapfrogged, the sedan chair is stopped and the confession is withdrawn...

Regardless of whether you are reasonable or not, you must kill Wei Bang first, ranging from twenty to forty.

This is not the law of the Song Dynasty, but the old system left by the Taizu of this dynasty.

If the presiding judge tried the case in private and felt that the situation was pitiful, he would probably dispense with the killing stick, and would not be so harsh.

But now that the case is being tried in court, officials from the family members of the victim demanded that the trial procedure be strictly followed, and even Bao Zheng couldn't refuse.

Seeing Bao Zheng groaning silently, Li Tang immediately urged:

"Master Bao, what are you waiting for? Do you want to cover up criminals?"

At this time, Du Shiniang's eyes were full of fear, she stared at Bao Qingtian closely, if she really wanted to give an order, she would rush to Fangzhu without hesitation and kill herself.

Bao Zheng gritted his teeth, and was about to take a picture of the gavel, when Cao Bin quickly shouted:

"I don't agree. Auntie Du is neither the plaintiff nor the defendant. She is just a witness."

"If Master Bao hurt witnesses like this, who would dare to testify if there is a murder case in the future?"

"In the future, everyone will have nothing to do with themselves and hang on high."

"Is there any justice in this Song Dynasty?"

"I hope Mr. Bao thinks twice before acting. If your order continues, the morale of the Song Dynasty will be ruined, and the country will not be a country!"

When Bao Zheng heard these words, the movements of his hands suddenly slowed down.

Seeing this, Li Tang immediately shouted:

"Bold Cao Bin, you dare to slander the imperial court? Violating the old system of Taizu, do you want to rebel?"

Seeing Bao Zheng hesitated, Li Tang became impatient and shouted:

"Bold Cao Bin, you dare to slander the imperial court? Violating the old system of Taizu, do you want to rebel?"

Cao Bin immediately jumped up and said:

"Fart, my family is a hereditary monarch, and we live together with the country. What are you? It's your turn to slander our own affairs?"

"Besides, Auntie Du is not a criminal. If she is punished with a stick, she will be forced to die! Taizu told you to kill innocent people indiscriminately?"

How dare Li Tang talk about Taizu's gains and losses in public?His eyes were reddened by Cao Bin's words, and he almost lost his mind.

Therefore, he could only refute with one reason:

"If the confession is retracted, punishment will be imposed. This is the rule of the court, and no one should violate it. If you say she is innocent, how about beating you?"

Before he could respond, Cao Bin immediately answered, "Okay, I'll take the punishment for her!"

Li Tang reacted immediately and roared angrily, "No..."

Seeing his gaffe, how could Cao Bin give him a chance to repent?

So he interrupted directly: "If a gentleman says a word, it's hard to follow a horse. You have read sages and sages, so do you want to go back on your word?"

Then he immediately turned around and said to Bao Zheng:

"Lord Bao, Auntie Du's testimony is in my favour, and I am the defendant, so I should bear the punishment with the cane! This is only reasonable."

Du Shiniang relaxed and looked at Cao Bin silently, her heart almost melted.

When Bao Zheng heard this, he nodded slightly and said, "It makes sense."

He didn't want to ruin Du Wei's life because of Taizu's old system.

Since Cao Bin is willing to take the punishment for Auntie Du, he is happy to go with the flow.

In addition, the murder case of Cao Bin was originally a certainty.

Although Auntie Du, who testified, retracted his confession in court, and Cao Bin argued in every possible way, but he knew what was going on in his heart, but there was no evidence.

Now that Cao Bin is asking for punishment, he just wants to see if Cao Bin will not be able to stand the punishment and plead guilty voluntarily.

These dandies always underestimate the cane punishment, thinking that it is nothing more than a spanking, and when he is really tortured, he will know the severity of it.

Therefore, Bao Zheng directly patted the gavel and shouted: "Come here! Beat Cao Bin forty times!"

"slow!"

Li Tang said suddenly.

Bao Zheng turned to look at him and said, "Master Li, what do you have to say?"

Li Tang cupped his hands and said, "I've never heard of anyone being tortured on behalf of others!"

Seeing Li Tang pestering him endlessly, Bao Zheng said angrily, "What does Master Li want?"

Li Tang said viciously: "Since Cao Bin wants to be tortured on behalf of someone else, he must double the number of sticks, otherwise Li will refuse to obey."

He knew that he had no way to stop Cao Bin, so he could only do his best to block him.

His meaning was also very clear. Since I took a step back, the other party must also take a step back. Otherwise, why should I agree to the other party's punishment on behalf of others?

When Bao Zheng heard the words, he fell silent again.

He didn't feel sorry for Cao Bin, but he was afraid that Cao Bin would be beaten to death if he went down with eighty sticks.

Seeing that things were frozen, Cao Bin gritted his teeth and said:

"Come on, hit, eighty sticks is eighty sticks, can you still beat me to death?"

With that said, he took off his pants and fell to the ground.

He proudly thought: Thanks to the purchase of the "kidney strengthening talent", his body has improved, otherwise with his original foundation, he might not be able to survive eighty sticks.

When the onlookers saw him take off his trousers swiftly, they all looked at him and screamed.

The women covered their faces shyly... looking out through their fingers.

The men looked disappointed, wishing to kick Cao Bin away, they didn't want to see this, they wanted to see that.

But the execution officer showed an intriguing expression, and said in his heart: This kid is still too young, with eighty sticks down, he can really kill you!

"Crack" "Ah..."

With a stick down, Cao Bin took a deep breath and screamed like a slaughtered pig. He only felt a tingling sensation rushing up from his back and heading straight to his forehead.

It hurts so much!

If the guards hadn't held him down tightly, I'm afraid he would have jumped up on the spot.

"Papa..." "Ah..."

The Kaifeng government office suddenly became a scene of slaughtering pigs.

The onlookers were so uncomfortable by his piercing cry that they covered their ears one after another.

Their eyes were extremely excited, and they stared at Cao Bin fiercely, feeling extremely relieved.

Then a woman said:

"Cao Gou is still a man! At least he can be punished for his own woman."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was outraged, and they all retorted:

"What kind of hero? It's just men and women, it's better to beat them all to death!"

In court.

Du Shiniang's eyes were swollen from crying, similar to two walnuts.

Seeing that Cao Bin's breath was getting weaker, she couldn't bear it any longer, and lay directly on Cao Bin's back, crying:

"Stop beating him, he's dying, please stop beating Master Bao..."

The execution officer couldn't hold back for a while, and hit Du Shiniang's back with two sticks, leaving two bloodstains on her back.

But she didn't notice it, and kept begging Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng slapped the gavel and said, "Cao Bin, I will ask you again, do you plead guilty?"

Cao Bin raised his head in a daze and said, "I don't recognize it!"

It's a joke, admitting it is death, as long as you can survive it, you will have a brighter future.

Even if he was beaten to death and maimed, he would not plead guilty.

When Du Shiniang heard this, she immediately lay on Cao Bin's body and burst into tears. She thought Bao Zheng would continue to torture him.

If so, Cao Bin might really be beaten to death.

Bao Zheng asked: "How many sticks?"

The guard hurriedly said: "Master Bao, you have already shot 63 sticks."

Bao Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, you guys go down."

But Li Tang quit, he wished to beat Cao Bin to death, how could he want Cao Bin to cheat, so he got up and said:

"My lord Bao, the rod punishment is not enough, how can you give up halfway?"

Bao Zheng said:

"This government is trying a case, not sentenced to murder. Does Mr. Li want to judge the case for this government?"

Seeing that Bao Zheng was angry, Li Tang could only sit down again and said:

"Master Bao is serious, it's Li Tang who was rude."

Bao Zheng ignored him, and directly ordered:

"Come here, take the servant of the waiting mansion!"

After a while, the three servants were taken to court.

Bao Zheng thought he would make a breakthrough on them, but he didn't expect them to retract the confession more thoroughly.

There are two key points in the retraction of the confession. One is that Cao Bin never gave the order to beat others, and the other is that Li Jia took the initiative and they counterattacked on their own.

When Cao Bin heard this, he immediately felt relieved.

At this time, he admired Uncle Fu very much, and he didn't know what method he used to make the three of them repent.

After the cane punishment, Li Tang finally couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and suggested:

"Lord Bao, I suspect that they were bribed by Cao Bin. It seems that only by using severe punishment can they confess truthfully!"

Cao Bin pulled out a smile with difficulty and said:

"In that case, I still say that you have been beaten into a trick? There is no evidence, what a fart!"

"Under the three trees, why can't you ask for it? If I use torture, I can beat you to call me father, do you believe it or not?"

Li Tang was so angry that Cao Bin was so angry that he almost fainted again. He was so frightened that he repeatedly pinched his own people before he recovered.

Bao Zheng pondered for a moment and said:

"Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Chao Chao, and Ma Han, each of you take your people to search the homes of the three of them to see if there are any gold and silver contracts related to the case."

Seeing the four of them leaving under orders, Cao Bin immediately became nervous, wondering if Uncle Fu had left any openings.

I don't know how long it took before the four returned to Kaifeng Mansion, all shook their heads and said:

"Master Bao, we have not found any suspicious physical evidence."

Hearing this, Cao Bin immediately relaxed, and just wanted to give Uncle Fu a big thumbs up, it's so reliable!

The trial of the case has reached such a point that it has reached a stalemate. Not only have all the witness testimony been retracted, but even the physical evidence lacks a reliable basis.

Under such circumstances, Bao Zheng could only look for other witnesses.

But most of the people watched with a spectator mentality, and very few people saw the whole incident from beginning to end. How could they remember the details clearly?
