Chapter 853 The Prison Expert
Hearing a strange noise outside, the embroidered lady opened the door to check it. It didn't matter. The officers and soldiers rushed up and directly put the steel knife on her neck. The embroidered lady was so scared that her legs were weak and shouted: "Several officials, thieves are inside!"
"Catch it!" At the command of the hundreds of households in the team, the officers and soldiers rushed in, and together with the embroidery girl, all the people from the Jiaofangsi were pressed to the ground.
At this moment, the man was still fighting with Ma Jiu and others. The stick in his hand was a bit tricky when he waved it. Unfortunately, his fists were hard to beat four hands. With a brute force, he was subdued by Ma Jiu and the other two in a few strokes.
The mud man who was pressed to the ground shouted: "Let me go, let me go!"
Baihu stepped forward and asked Chen Xi, who was holding his arms and frowned, "Sir, I have taken it down... are you okay?"
Chen Xidao: "It's okay for a person to be fine, maybe one arm is ruined!"
Baihu immediately became annoyed, widened his eyes and shouted, "Who is so bold to hurt the governor, you must not forgive him easily!"
The culprit of the beating was still there and shouting "Let me go". At this time, the people in the Jiaofangsi, including the guests and girls in the room and the backyard, were captured by the officers and soldiers. There were hundreds of officers and soldiers outside to surround the Jiaofangsi and were blocked.
The embroidered lady had lost her previous momentum and stammered: "This...this is a fake governor."
Chen Xi hugged his arm and walked up to him and shouted, "Who told you that I am pretending to be an official?"
The embroidered lady panicked and looked around, trying to find Xiao An to confront her, but now the civil strife in Erjiaofangsi was in chaos and there was no way to find her.
Baihu shouted: "Assaulting the imperial court's official is equivalent to rebellion. Sir, please tell me what to do?"
Chen Xidao: "Take it back and wait for the official to interrogate slowly to see who is instructing me!"
"Sir, it's wronged, the young woman is wronged..."
The embroidered woman shouted for justice, but the person was dragged out and even her clothes were torn.
When I went downstairs to the entrance of Jiaofangsi, there were crowds of people watching outside. Seeing that the people from Jiaofangsi were caught, many people were applauding there... Jiaofangsi is a gold-selling cave, and they can't afford to spend without a certain amount of money. Now, seeing that the people in Jiaofangsi are unlucky, those who can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, they will naturally applaud.
A head emerged from the crowd. It was Tang Yin, who had just escaped faster than anyone else. After he fled far away, he remembered that he was a little unethical. The commission could not stop and turned around and came back to take a look. Seeing that the officers and soldiers escorted the girls, servants and guests from the inside, he quickly grabbed a person watching and asked, "How is it inside?"
The man glanced at Tang Yin and said flattered: "I want to know if I go in and see. Who dares to go to the yamen now?"
Tang Yin felt that his face was burning badly, and he felt extremely ashamed, and muttered: "After all, he is my boss. When he encounters danger, I, as an aide, will run away first. If someone is beaten to death, will I, Tang Bohu, still have the face to be a human being in the future?"
"Sir, come out! Sir, come out!"
Amid the crowd's shouting, Chen Xi was helped out... Chen Xi was obviously injured, his arm was swaying and hung it with a cloth strip.
"Master Qingtian!"
The people didn't care what was happening in the Jiaofangsi. When some people started to make a fuss, most of them followed the trend and then fell to a large area.
Chen Xi has made public appearances twice before, once in the Nanhai County Government, and once in the port of Chengnan, he has a great reputation among ordinary people.
Tang Yin gritted his teeth and greeted him: "Shen Zhongcheng, are you fine?"
Chen Xi glared at Tang Yin. Tang Yin, who was usually arrogant and arrogant, lost his face now. His face turned red and his head lowered, but Chen Xi shouted: "Go back to the government office!"
Tang Yin followed the team and headed towards the inn.
When he returned to the inn, the soldiers raised a torch in his hand and summed up the previous Jiaofangsi and the guests that night, totaling 60 or 70. They forced them to kneel down in the yard. Soon the spacious yard became crowded. Chen Xi stood in front of the lobby for a while, feeling the pain in his arms, so he called over 100 households to instruct him to go to the backyard to treat his injuries first.
Although Chen Xi's arm was not broken, the stick was really hard to beat. Her arm was swollen. When Xie Yun'er heard the news, she couldn't help but slid down two lines of tears when she saw Chen Xi's injuries.
"Why is my husband so careless..."
Xie Yuner quickly asked Xiaoyu and Xiu'er to prepare the equipment, then rolled up their sleeves and bandaged Chen Xi personally. Although Xie Yuner was not a doctor of stuttering, she had experience in dealing with the injuries. After she worked hard on her own, Chen Xi's injuries were quickly treated. Then she clamped them up with a wooden board, then bandaged them with a cloth, and hung them on her neck.
On the surface, Chen Xi seemed to have broken his arm, but in fact, there was no big problem.
"Madam, don't worry, just a little bit of injury. Why haven't you seen a strong storm? Hiss, be gentle..." Chen Xi took a breath, then forced a smile to help Xie Yuner wipe away the tears from the fragrant cheeks.
Xie Yuner didn't say anything, and Zhu Shan said angrily: "I dare to beat the master, I'll fight with them!"
Chen Xi quickly asked Xiu'er to hold Zhu Shan and said, "Don't be impulsive, lord, I haven't thought about what to do with them yet. Why are you anxious? Actually, let's talk about it... Oh, forget it. You go back and rest first. I will go back to the backyard after I handle the matter." Chen Xi originally wanted to say that this injury was caused by myself. Where can I walk by the river without any shoes wet?
Last time, Tang Yin was beaten for him. This time, Tang Yin ran fast and he was the culprit of "fake imperial envoy". The people from the Jiaofangsi would naturally give priority to greet him with sticks. However, this just made Chen Xi successful. If he said he was beaten for nothing, no one would believe him. Now that he was beaten, it seems very serious on the surface, so he can make a big fuss about this matter... but in fact, it was not hurt, and it would be cured for a few days.
When Chen Xi came out of the back hall, Ma Jiu and the Baihu were "small punishment and great commandment" to the muddy man who had just beaten him. He used a stick to greet the man's back and buttocks with a stick. The man was still shouting: "Let me go!"
When Tang Yin saw Chen Xi coming out, he quickly acted like "loyalty to protect the master" and shouted at the man: "Call again, I'll cut your tongue!"
Chen Xi looked angry and stood at the door of the lobby. A guard immediately moved a chair out. He sat down and shouted, "Who was not open just now? I said that this official was pretending?"
The embroidery girl was taken out by two soldiers and knelt in front of Shen Xi. The embroidery girl cried out sadly: "Sir, the common girl has no eyes to know Mount Tai..." The embroidery girl originally wanted to point out Xiao An, but then she remembered that Xiao An just told herself the words Chen Xi she heard. Perhaps the young governor had some profound meaning, so she changed her words: "It's a turtle who is not open to her eyes. It's said that the adult is pretending. Sir, if you want to ask the crime, ask the turtle, it's not about the affairs of the turtle!"
Someone actually called him Tarba. Chen Xi thought to himself, there are really all kinds of weird things in this Jiaofangsi.
Immediately, a 15-year-old boy with a treacherous head was raised and kowtowed: "Sir, please spare your life, the villain is wronged..."
With a Guangdong accent, Chen Xi could only roughly understand what this person said. He made an illusion that the governor and governor were going to the yamen of the governor and the governor and the governor and the governor and the governor were deliberately asked to pass by the gate of the Jiaofangsi, and made people pretend to have no intention of revealing the whereabouts of the governor and governor. This turtle only reported to the truth after hearing the news.
Chen Xi sneered: "What is the crime of beating a court official?"
The Baihu next to him said, "Sir, you can ask for it!"
The embroidered lady and the little turtle were so scared that their faces looked like earth. They were about to shout for justice while kowtowing, suddenly an old and thick voice came from outside the front yard of the inn: "Don't be killed!"
The yard that was originally noisy suddenly became quiet. Lin Tingxuan, the inspector of Guangdong's criminal commissioner, took big steps in with a hard look. He did not question the Jiaofang Sizhong who beat the imperial court's official, but shouted to Chen Xi: "Shen Zhongcheng, why did you escort all the Jiaofang Sizhong to the official post for no reason?"
Chen Xi did not get up to greet Lin Tingxuan, looked at the hundreds of households beside him and asked, "Why?"
Baihu reported: "The people in the Jiaofangsi beat the governor and governor."
The embroidered lady's voice increased octave and said, "It's unfair, several adults, the young woman has no idea that she is the governor and governor. She also asked the Taichung University to make the decision for the young woman!"
Even the embroidered lady admitted to beating Chen Xi. In this way, Lin Tingxuan could not excuse the people of the Jiaofangsi. However, he was responsible for a provincial criminal prison and memorized the "Da Ming Law". In addition, people were old and cunning, and were used to the scene, and immediately had countermeasures. Lin Tingxuan said: "According to the "Da Ming Law", those who are foreign officials and military officials who are not in the third rank or above will be beaten by eighty sticks and two years of prison. Those who do not know can be reduced as appropriate. Forty sticks are used, and the big punishment is a small commandment!"
Chen Xi gestured to Lin Tingxuan at his arm hanging around his neck and asked, "Lin Nietai, are you trying to shelter the sinner?"
Lin Tingxuan raised his arrogant head: "The original standard is just a matter of matters. The criminal prison in a province is under the jurisdiction of the Criminal Censorate, and Shen Zhongcheng has no right to inquire."
Chen Xi smiled and said, "Then I will talk to Lin Nietai well. In the "Law of the Ming Dynasty: Criminal Law", it means that foreign officials and military and civilian officials who are not in charge of the third rank or above will be beaten by eighty sticks and two years of prisoners. There may be a suffix. If the injured person is, a 100 stick will be three years of prisoners. If the injured person is broken, a 100 stick will flow by two thousand miles. Is this official wrong? "
Lin Tingxuan looked at Chen Xi in surprise. He didn't expect that Chen Xi was so clear about the "Da Ming Law" and could only nod: "Yes. But is Lord Shen broken now?"
Chen Xi waved his hand and asked someone to drag the muddy man who had been beaten dozens of sticks just now, asking, "Is it, who broke my arm?"
"It was me, my aunt asked me to do it, and she said she would marry me!"
People don’t understand what shelter means or what they say.
Chen Xidao: "Lin Nietai can hear it clearly. It was Su Xiu, a sinner of the Jiaofangsi, who ordered this person to hurt me. This crime of running a hundred rods for two thousand miles should be inevitable, right?"
Lin Tingxuan shouted: "But the sinner does not know Shen Zhongcheng's identity!"
Chen Xi said angrily: "You ask her, don't she know her identity? I have clearly stated that she is the governor of the three provinces. She is respectful at the beginning and arrogant at the end. She said that she is fake and personally brought someone to face each other with sticks. Lin Nietai, you won't really have anything to do with this criminal woman, and you want to shelter the criminal, right?"
Lin Tingxuan's face turned dark and gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's take a hundred sticks and travel 2,000 miles! But this case needs to be handed over to the Nisi Yamen, and there will be no need for trouble for Chief Shen Zhongcheng!"
If you give the person you are, you may not be able to hit you or not. It will flow for 2,000 miles? Don’t flow into your bedroom tomorrow.
"slow!"
Chen Xi raised his hand and said, "I am ordered by the emperor to come to the three southeastern provinces to combat the bandits. Tonight, I go to the Jiaofangsi to investigate the bandits and do some detailed work. Unexpectedly, after revealing my identity, I am still beaten. I suspect that the criminal girl and the bandits were secretly colluded. The person who came escorted all the criminals to the woodshed and detained them in a concentrated manner. I will interrogate them in turn!"
Lin Tingxuan pointed at Chen Xi angrily: "Shen Zhongcheng, are you... taking personal revenge?"
Chen Xidao: "What a big hat. Could it be that Lin Nietai wants to ask about the suppression of the bandits? People come and see off guests!"
"yes."
Ma Jiu and Zhu Qi came over and made a "please" gesture.
Lin Tingxuan did not expect that he was still refuted by Chen Xi in the criminal matters that he was good at, which left him helpless. But he was unwilling to leave because the embroidered lady and Jiaofangsi were involved in the sale of salt rays, and now he was detained by Chen Xi, which was equivalent to losing the initiative in vain.
