Chapter 352 - Barbarian RageDong Lin frowned slightly when he heard that Lu Hongda had agreed to be tried. He felt something was amiss and was just about to remind Xiang Yun.
Xiang Yun looked at Lu Hongda who was sitting high up in the hall with a face of admiration as he said, "Sir is truly selfless and unafraid of authority, a role model for us. Since sire wants me to bring back the suspect, I"ll immediately bring him back!"
"That"s good, that"s good!" Lu Hongda couldn"t help but grin.
"Quickly, Elder Zhang, send Captain Wei off!"
Xiang Yun smiled and nodded. He turned around and strode out of the great hall, bringing Lady Meng and Yan Bao with him as he spoke to Dong Lin.
"Since Master has promised that the case will be solved, we will cooperate with you. Go back tonight and gather all your brothers. Don"t rest. Let"s go to the dungeon together to interrogate these barbarians and prepare their confessions."
Dong Lin"s brows were tightly locked together. He heard the voice of Yun Li coming over. He immediately had a weird expression on his face. Then, he turned around and asked loudly!
"But, my lord, this barbarian is vicious, and his personality is also stubborn. If we want to record the confession, I"m afraid that it won"t be easy to record it."
Xiang Yun sneered upon hearing this, and also loudly replied, "Hmph, what"s so difficult about that. Now that sire has raised his arms, he"s punishing those who break the law among the Goliath people. We can just use the methods of the 18 Houses of General Yamen to torture those who refuse to be taught a lesson!"
"Ah! If we use these punishments, I"m afraid these barbarians won"t be able to withstand it even if they are as strong as oxen. What if they lose their lives?"I want to let these barbarians see what happens to those who refuse to surrender. If anyone dies in prison, then I will cut off his head and hang it on the gate of our government.
"Ah!"
This time, Yan Bao did not make a sound. Lu Hongda and Master Zhang in the hall stretched their necks at the same time and exclaimed!"Alright, captain. If you say it like that, then I have some confidence. With the Chief Patrol Officer supporting us, who will we be afraid of?"
Xiang Yun and Dong Lin strode out of the prefecture"s yamen. They were in high spirits, looking as if they would kill a few barbarians tonight in order to establish their might.
"Wait a minute!" Lu Hongda could no longer sit still and shouted!"Yes, Master Lu. What"s the matter?" Xiang Yun and Yan Bao turned around at the same time, a puzzled expression on their faces.
"That Captain Wei, is it really that bad to use punishment on the suspect?"However, Xiang Yun waved his hand, saying, "Lord Ai, you can"t just use torture against ordinary people. However, these barbarians are used to acting so tyrannically. They think themselves to be superior to others, so how can they easily confess?"
Furthermore, if we do not properly punish them, then when we ascend the hall in the future, we will look down on the lord and look down on him. "Furthermore, if we do not properly punish them, when we ascend the hall in the future, we will look down on the lord and look down on him.
Hearing this, Lu Hongda"s face turned green and he almost cursed, "You did it!"
[What a waste of effort. Don"t you think those barbarians will cut me into pieces if you say so?]
Lu Hongda wanted to say something, but Xiang Yun patted his chest and a.s.sured him, "Don"t worry, milord. Leave everything to me!"
I"ll take care of your grandpa! Lu Hongda almost exploded. He was helpless and could only harden his heart."Cough, cough, looks like this case is of great importance. It"s better to make a decision as soon as possible, the choice is better than the decision. Since the plaintiff and defendant are here tonight, there"s no need to prepare. Why don"t we start tonight!"
"Sir, please be enlightened!" By the side, Master Zhang had a bitter look on his face as he agreed.
Both of them knew that if Xiang Yun were to really use his ultimate punishment on Hu Rui and the rest in the prison, even causing them to lose their lives, this matter would truly not be able to be brought to an end.
Hearing Lu Hongda say that there would be a lawsuit immediately, he sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he looked like he was obeying orders, "We will follow your orders, my lord!""Mighty!"
Late at night, a mighty voice came from the main hall of the Tiger City Patrol Office!
"I, the official of the Meng family, ask you, what grievances do you have to come to the magistrate"s office and complain about it?" Lu Hongda asked the question knowing the answer, and the case began!
Mrs Meng pa.s.sed over the paper, glanced at Lu Hongda, then turned to look at Xiang Yun, who was standing to the side. In the end, she recounted how her family had been forcefully killed by Hu Rui and the rest, explaining how the Meng clan had once again sobbed in grief.
Hearing this, Lu Hongda frowned and let the bookkeeper take the report, but his hand rubbed back and forth on the armrest of the square chair, hesitating. In the end, under Elder Zhang"s reminder and Xiang Yun"s forceful gaze, Lu Hongda could only brace himself and spread the word!"The suspect Hu Rui and his men are fighting Meng Qinglan"s court!"
Hu Rui and his men were finally summoned. The patrolling guards waiting outside the magistrate"s office immediately escorted a dozen barbarian prisoners to the main hall.
Lu Hongda, Master Zhang, and the officials in the government office could not help but tremble as they saw the dozens of tall and st.u.r.dy bodies being forced to kneel on the ground. They did not dare to look at the barbarians.Although the barbarians had all been injured by Xiang Yun, they were all being escorted to the court with their heads held high, their faces filled with disdain and contempt, especially Hu Rui. Although his arms were dislocated, his expression was wild and unyielding.
The group of suspects had a grandeur that far surpa.s.sed the officials in the court!
"Hehe, Lord Lu, long time no see. You are truly full of authority, and you still want me to kneel for you!" Hu Rui sneered and said to Lu Hongda!
"Uh …" Hearing this, Lu Hongda"s heart quivered and immediately became anxious.
"Should we untie them and let them stand up to speak?" Lu Hongda probed.
"Hmm?" A fierce light flashed across Hu Rui"s eyes when he heard this!
Lu Hongda was shocked and quickly changed his words, "Then let"s get some stools up for them to sit and talk."
"My lord, it"s time for the trial!" At this moment, Xiang Yun who was standing to the side coldly reminded them!
Master Zhang was also reminding him in a low voice, and only then did Lu Hongda realize that they were in the court, so he couldn"t act too flattering.
"Cough cough." Lu Hongda forced himself to calm down. He knocked on the wood but asked with a gentle tone.
"Hey, Hu Rui, now Lady Meng is accusing you of robbing her family"s property, and even beat her husband and her father-in-law to death. Is this true?"
When Hu Rui heard this, he turned to look at the nearby Meng Clan!
"Hehe, you stinking woman, you still dare to sue me!"
Seeing Hu Rui and the others, the Meng family"s complexion also turned pale. Their eyes were filled with fear and resentment, but they gritted their teeth and insisted, "You barbarians have no sense of justice. You certainly deserve to hurt my family!"
"Hahahaha, your king"s law, can you control me? Do you believe that when I walk out of this gate today, tomorrow I can make you, this s.l.u.t, beg for death, and give your d.a.m.ned husband a big green hat!? "Hu Rui laughed out loud. The other barbarians also started to laugh out loud.
"You … you …" Madam Meng was ashamed, angry, and afraid. She pointed at Hu Rui and was momentarily speechless, and her body trembled in anger!
"I"m afraid you won"t have that chance!"
At this moment, Xiang Yun had spoken up. His pair of murderous eyes glared at Hu Rui, causing the latter"s wild laughter to falter slightly as a trace of fear and hatred flashed past his eyes!
"Hmph, Captain Wei, you are indeed quite powerful, but don"t worry, once I"m out, the first one I"ll take care of will be you!"Hu Rui had openly threatened Xiang Yun in the Department of Internal Affairs. This kind of arrogant arrogance could only be described as unbridled!
This was because he knew that once he was captured, his wife would definitely notify the Gesun Merchant House and the Goliath Patrol Guards. With them behind his back, what was there to be afraid of? This group of people wouldn"t dare to do anything to him!
Then, he leered at Lu Hongda and sneered, "Lord Lu, you don"t need to try this case, I stole their medicine shop, and that"s because that woman"s d.a.m.n husband didn"t know how to behave. If I want to buy his medicine, he"s not willing to buy it, but still dare to scold me, isn"t this courting death!"
Hearing this, the nearby Meng clan opened their mouths and spoke angrily."Are you buying medicine? You only took out 10% of the market price to buy medicine, what"s the difference between this and stealing? How would my husband sell medicine to you? Because of this, you beat him to death, as well as my family"s father-in-law.
"Hmph, if laozi is willing to give you money, then I"ll just give you face. You"re the ones who are untactful. If your husband is beaten to death, then he deserves it!" Hu Rui had a proud and arrogant look on his face. The patrolling guards gritted their teeth as they saw this arrogant barbarian. They couldn"t wait to rush forward and teach him a lesson.
Xiang Yun also narrowed his eyes before turning to look at Lu Hongda!
"Master, since the prisoner has confessed, please resolve the case as soon as possible!"
Hu Rui also said fearlessly, "Lord Lu, quickly resolve this case. I can go greet the people sent by Director Ou and Captain Qi, otherwise they won"t know and come find trouble with you. That won"t be good."
This was simply a naked threat!
"This …" Lu Hongda was dumbfounded. The matter had fallen onto him in the end, what should he decide?If he really killed these barbarians, he could imagine that if the Gesun Trading Company and the barbarian patrolling guards sent someone to take their lives, he would not be able to survive.
However, if he didn"t punish Hu Rui, and now that everyone was looking at him, Hu Rui had already confessed to robbing and killing. If he didn"t punish such a heavy crime, what dignity would he have?
At this moment, Lu Hongda felt dizzy. He wished that he could pa.s.s out, but in this situation, even if he had a dilemma, he had to express it!
After considering for a moment, Lu Hongda finally made a decision. What was the use of being imposing, the most important thing was to keep his life. Seeing the killing intent in Hu Rui"s eyes, Lu Hongda took a deep breath and announced!
I think that both sides are in the wrong with this matter. The husband of the Meng family insulted Hu Rui first, and then he tried to anger him. The latter fought with him in an argument and didn"t want to become stronger, so he failed to take proper care of the situation and killed people. So I decided to sentence Hu Rui to return the medicinal ingredients returned to the Meng shop and compensate some of the compensation.
"What!"
Upon hearing Lu Hongda"s verdict, everyone in the hall looked at each other in dismay. They couldn"t believe it. The Meng family was crying as they cried for their injustice!Xiang Yun immediately questioned, "Sir, killing to pay for it is within the laws of the country. Hu Rui brought people and killed two people, killing and robbing is a heinous crime, according to the punishment, how can you just compensate them with some gold and silver?"
"Yes, my lord!" How could our Patrol Officer decide a case like that! " The patrolling guards that had followed Xiang Yun shouted in anger!
Lu Hongda had already made up his mind. He would rather offend Captain Wei than to become enemies with the barbarians. He could not let his life be threatened, so he slammed the table decisively."Pah!"
"Impudence! I"ve already made my decision. There"s no need for others to say anything. Hurry up and untie Hu Rui and the others!"
When the official under the hall heard this, he immediately wanted to untie Hu Rui and the others, but Hu Rui had a scornful smile on his face as he looked at the patrolling guards with eyes full of pride and provocation! What"s the use of you capturing me? In the end, he still had to obediently release me.
"My lord, you are wise. Isn"t it just making some compensation? I"ll just make it up to her, but it seems like a little girl like you only has a short life. I"m afraid you might lose your life to spend it!" Hu Rui looked at the Meng family with malicious intent.At this moment, a group of officials was about to untie Hu Rui"s group!
"Whoosh!"Suddenly, a silver figure swept past everyone"s heads, with Lu Hongda"s official hat on his head, he shot straight to the "Seawater Diagram" behind him!
"Buzz!"A buzzing sound rang out. Only then did everyone clearly see that what was stuck in the wall was a shiny steel blade. The blade swayed back and forth, reflecting a dazzling cold light!
Lu Hongda only felt the knife sc.r.a.ping against the cap on his head, almost causing him to pee his pants.
"I want to see who dares to untie them?"
Xiang Yun walked up to the center of the court with a single step, his sharp eyes sweeping across the entire hall!
