Ugly man is hard to marry

The bamboo sticks were thrown at Feng Qinglian's feet, frightening her out of her wits. She had long heard that the torture instruments in the yamen were vicious and terrifying. It was pierced into the crevices of people's fingers, and the tip of the head was stained with the blood of countless people. It was black and shiny from the blood stains, and it made people's scalp tingle.

County Magistrate Zhao asked again, but Feng Qinglian still refused to speak, and immediately threw down a fire stick to order the execution.

The yamen servants rushed forward, two held Feng Qinglian's arm, and one picked up a bamboo stick, opened Feng Qinglian's finger, and stabbed it in along the crevice.

There was only a scream, and Feng Qinglian wailed, her whole body was pumped together, her hands and feet were kicking wildly, and the two tall men couldn't hold it back.

The county magistrate Zhao ordered people to let go, and then asked: "How? To recruit or not?"

Ten fingers connected to heart, hands were bloody, nails were cracked and turned up, the pain spread all the way to the whole body along with the fingertips, it was several times more painful than being hit by dozens of boards.Feng Qinglian was in so much pain that she didn't even have the strength to speak, she just kept shaking her head, but still didn't say a word.

County Magistrate Zhao did not allow any more punishments, the punishments were only auxiliary, if they were too excessive, there would be cases of torture, the trial should be based on attacking the heart, Feng Qinglian couldn't break through here, he could start from other places.

Turning around, Magistrate Zhao asked Pan Zihan who was kneeling next to Feng Qinglian, "Pan Zihan, you and Feng Qinglian had an adulterous affair, and you were the mastermind of poisoning and killing Fang Chou'er?"

Pan Zihan was paralyzed from fright as soon as he entered the hall. He and Feng Qinglian knelt very close. Pan Zihan could see clearly from the side when the yamen servant tortured her just now. For fear that County Magistrate Zhao would torture him and suffer physical pain, when he was asked, he lay down on the ground, knelt and climbed two steps, kowtowed at County Magistrate Zhao, pointed at Feng Qinglian and said, "The villain is innocent, innocent." Please be clear, my lord, this matter has nothing to do with me, it was all done by this woman, she seduced me, what murdered my husband, the villain doesn't know, the poisoning has nothing to do with me!"

When Pan Zihan said those words, Feng Qinglian's heart went cold. For many years, she had been deeply in love, and she had exhausted everyone in the world, just to stay with him forever, and she was infatuated, but in the end, she ended up in a catastrophe and went her own way.It's still not going well now, he just pushed all the things on her head, picked himself clean, if he was really convicted, he didn't know what kind of ugly face he would have.

Her heart is completely ashamed, one moment she was tender and sweet, and the next moment she is icy and icy, she really hates it... I really want to say the vows of the old alliance in public, let the whole world know how despicable and shameless this man is, And how she lied to herself with rhetoric.

The county magistrate of Zhao ordered the yamen servant to drag Shumo over and asked her if she wanted to tell the truth.Shumo was also quite frightened. It was the first time he saw a trial in court, and the first time he saw the county magistrate carrying out a sentence.She couldn't even speak, her teeth chattered, and her hands and feet were weak. She wanted to tell the truth, but she was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

Magistrate Zhao thought that Shumo wanted to deny it, so he cast another stick of fire and said, "Fight!"

Someone took a wooden palm. One end of the palm is a slender handle, and the other end is made like a real person's palm. When they are connected together, they are thrown vigorously. Let alone a little girl like Shumo, a big man will get hit twice I also have to cry for my mother.

The yamen servant raised the instrument of torture high up, waved his hands, and greeted Shumo's face. Before the instrument of torture fell, Shumo was so frightened that his blood flowed backwards, his breathing was stagnant, and he was struggling hard, shouting loudly: " I recruit! I recruit!"

The county magistrate of Zhao asked the yamen servant to retire, and signaled that Shumo would come from the real situation.

Shumo collapsed on the ground, completely devoid of any intention of denying it, and said honestly, "It was the young mistress who gave me a pack of arsenic and asked me to put it in the ugly young master's meal. I... I was forced, and I don't want to do it." , but the young lady said, if I don’t poison her, she will kill me... I was forced!"

The county magistrate Zhao ordered the master to write down Shumo's confession, and asked her to sign and draw a deposit, and stepped aside first.He then asked Feng Qinglian: "The adulterer pleaded guilty, saying that you seduced him and that you were the one who murdered her husband. Fang's girl, Shumo, said that you gave her a pack of arsenic and forced her to poison Fang Chou'er. "

Speaking of this, someone brought up the body of a wild dog dug out of Luoping Village and pointed it at Feng Qinglian: "Now that the witnesses and physical evidence are all there, Feng Qinglian, you still haven't pleaded guilty?"

Feng Qinglian's hands were trembling, and she barely sat up while supporting the ground. She was disheveled, and she couldn't see any beauty at this moment, only a pair of eyes were still shining.

She turned her head slowly and looked at Pan Zihan next to him, only to see that he was also in a state of distress, his clothes were torn, his front was open on both sides, his chest was beaten blue and red, his expression was cowering and frightened, how could he You can see the original handsome appearance.

She remembered that when she first met him, she felt that this man was handsome and a good man in troubled times. She loved him so much that she disregarded etiquette, justice and shame, and loved him so much that she could even fight herself.What can be gained, besides the betrayal at this moment, is Pan Zihan's endless romantic debt. Feng Qinglian knows that she has misjudged the person, but so what, since she loves her, she will never regret it. Even if he hurts herself, she will I couldn't bear to bite him back.

After a long silence, Feng Qinglian replied softly: "The woman is not guilty."

At this moment, Feng Qinglian felt a sense of determination, her cherry lips parted slightly, and she smiled faintly.The smile got bigger and bigger, and finally she laughed loudly, shaking her body, laughing backwards and forwards, "Say I murdered my husband, who is my husband? My husband is only Pan Yun. What is Fang Chouer? Does he deserve to be my husband?"

Her voice changed suddenly, and she pointed at Fang Yunxuan and screamed: "I am a good-looking woman, and I am about to be sold by my parents to an ugly monster as a wife in my youth. Open your eyes and see, does such a man have to be my wife?" Guarding him, living a life of grievances, and carrying the moral archway of three obediences and four virtues for a lifetime, is it considered virtuous and virtuous? I am also a human being, even if I am a woman, I am also a living person. Why can't I live the life I want? What's wrong with liking Pan Yun, what's wrong with wanting to be with him?"

"Say I murdered my own husband. Fang Chou'er and I have never been husband and wife. We have never lived in the same house for a day. What kind of husband is he? He is useless and incompetent. He doesn't even dare to fart loudly on weekdays. It doesn't matter if you kill him with poison, I just want to kill him, only by killing him can we be together with Pan Yunming..."

Everyone was shocked by Feng Qinglian's bold remarks, and even County Magistrate Zhao was speechless.

It took a long time to come back to his senses, he patted the gavel again, and reprimanded: "Bold and cunning woman, what are you talking about? People are living in this world, who is not soaking in bitter water, and if you have grievances, it does not mean that you are wronged." You are qualified to hurt others. If you don’t want to be husband and wife with Fang Chou’er, you can ask him to write a letter of divorce. Fang's father and son were kind-hearted, and they became more and more profitable. They drove the two of them to live in a dilapidated house, and occupied the Fang family's land and house, calling it just to stay with their lover? It's ridiculous!"

After a severe reprimand, Zhao County Magistrate pronounced the sentence in court: "Feng Qinglian had an adulterous affair with others, conspired with an adulterer to poison her own husband, even though it was unsuccessful, it is a heinous crime that cannot be pardoned, tattooed on the face, paraded in a wooden cage, and distributed to the frontier. The old man Feng and his wife were disrespectful to their elders and unkind to their fathers. They seized other people's property, sentenced to fifty rods, and immediately moved out of Fang's house and returned all their property. Shumo, as a slave of Fang's family, committed murder against his master , poisoned and plotted, wrote, filled the teaching workshop, and demoted to low status. Pan Zihan..."

County Magistrate Zhao paused for a moment. At this point in the trial of the case, he hated this person the most. Everyone could see that the poisoning incident had something to do with him. If he was easily let go, he would be very angry. Can't even sleep.

After thinking for a while, County Magistrate Zhao had an idea in his mind, and shouted loudly: "Pan Zihan, you have read the sage's books in vain, and you have done such shameless and scandalous things. The reputation of a scholar, the face tattooed with gold letters, will never allow him to enter the examination room again!"

Pan Zihan was so regretful that his intestines were green. If he knew that he would not be entangled with Feng Qinglian if he was beaten to death, now that he has been deprived of fame and has a face tattoo, he will never be able to take the imperial examination again in this life. After ten years of hard work, he will be ruined. Why not It broke his heart.

He wanted to complain about injustice, but he confessed to adultery with Feng Qinglian himself, and the magistrate Zhao made no mistakes in the sentence. It's because you insist on me that you have brought me to such a state!"

He kept yelling and cursing, Feng Qinglian's face turned ashen, and the smile on her face became more and more bleak, her lips turned pale, she rolled her eyes, and fell to the ground.

Pan Zihan refused to let him go, and still kept cursing. County Magistrate Zhao really didn't want to see him look so ugly, so he added another fifty sticks, and ordered him to execute him immediately.

The whole matter was clear. The timing of Fang Yun's announcement of the lawsuit was too good. Feng Qinglian's family was unprepared, and there was a head-on attack. The witnesses and material evidence were also prepared, and the county magistrate Zhao concluded the case that night. The criminals signed and pledged, and all were put in prison, waiting for their own punishment.

Fang Yunxuan was happy, the matter was finally settled, fortunately County Magistrate Zhao is a sensible and upright official, otherwise he would not have been able to sue so quickly.

Zhao County Magistrate asked Fang Yunxuan to return to his hometown quickly so that he could take care of his father.Fang Yunxuan expressed his gratitude, bid farewell to County Magistrate Zhao, and arranged carriages and horses to return to Luoping with Fang Shihong.
