Chapter 132 Corrupt Officials Paraded Through the Streets
Chi Ming did not hesitate at all and quickly ordered: "Stop the interrogation and parade Li Lingcang out in the streets."
"As for the officials in Fuzhou, as long as they are involved in this matter, pull them out one by one."
Public grievances have already formed, and the people need a place to vent.
And Li Lingcang is that venting point.
The gong sounded, and Li Lingcang and five or six officials were put into a prison van and began to parade along the streets of Fuzhou City.
Li Lingcang thought that watching his family members being tortured was already a great torture, but there was even greater torture to come.
He was a scholar, but was dragged out without any dignity, exposed in public, and cursed by the people of the world. His face was completely trampled underfoot.
Never raise your head again!
He had secretly hoarded so much grain that the common people calling him a dog official was just a nice thing to say. It was estimated that his ancestors for eighteen generations had already been cursed a hundred or eighty times.
I wonder if their coffin lids can still be closed?
There was a lot of noise outside now, and the voices cursing at him were about to lift the sky up. His old face turned red and white, and finally he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Wherever the sound of the gong was heard, there were people everywhere, probably those who were still alive had come out.
The common people lined the streets to watch, with the smelliest and hardest stones ready in their hands.
When the dog officials came over, he hit them hard on the head.
"ah..."
Screams continued to be heard, but no one among the common people sympathized with them. They all wanted to eat their flesh and drink their blood.
The pain was so severe that Li Lingcang's old face was wrinkled like an orange peel.
But before he could recover, a sticky mass appeared on his face.
After one lump, there were two, then three, and soon his face was covered with them.
If the temperature hadn't been so low and he had been frozen, he would have had difficulty breathing.
Li Lingcang felt so nauseous that he almost vomited out the food he had eaten the previous night.
"You...you are disrespectful!"
He wanted to curse loudly, but he really didn't have any words in his mind.
When the people saw that he could still speak, they spit even faster.
"Bah! You are not worthy of being called civilized! I'll beat you to death, you dog official."
"Beat him to death!"
"Beat him to death!"
"Beat him to death!"
It was really a nail in the coffin, which completely nailed Li Lingcang to the pillar of shame.
God may have felt the overwhelming anger, and suddenly there was a thunderclap, which frightened everyone.
Someone shouted, "Winter thunder, piles of graves!"
Countless people shed tears and said: "My grandfather told me this."
"It's because of this bastard official that so many of our family members died. There are piles of graves here."
"Beat him to death!"
Regardless of whether this proverb is appropriate here or not, it’s right to blame Li Lingcang.
"Oh God, please send down thunder to kill these damn officials."
"Let them die without a complete body!"
“Boom…”
The common people were very respectful of God, and they knelt down and kowtowed, shouting:
"God has shown his power!"
After a few thunderclaps, snowflakes fell again. The corrupt officials were not struck to death, and the people were very disappointed.
"Even if God doesn't care, there is still the Regent, who will definitely kill these damn officials."
"Yes, the Regent is selfless and will definitely kill them."
Li Lingcang had been frozen to the point of losing consciousness. He looked up at the sky in fear, fearing that a lightning bolt would strike him.
Is what he did really infuriating?
It seems that man is not following God's will.
The parade continues...
After walking around all the streets and alleys of Fuzhou City, Li Lingcang's head was broken and bleeding, and he was dying, with only one breath left.
But this was not the end. After returning to the prison, the doctor gave him a simple way to stop the bleeding and then continued to execute his family members in front of him.
Shu Feng was sent to watch the execution: "Li Lingcang, you have studied hard to reach your current position. Is it worth it for the man behind the scenes?"
Li Lingcang also asked himself in his heart: Is it worth it?
He didn't know, he only knew that if it weren't for that person, he would have failed the imperial examination, let alone become an official.
"He is still stubborn. Someone, bring his son over here."
The jailers in the Heavenly Prison are so familiar with punishment that they are as skilled as they are at eating and drinking.
The whip soaked in pepper water was used to whip his son, making him scream like a ghost.
After the blood was dripping from his body, the prison boss directly ordered: "Throw salt water!"
"No, Dad, save me!"
"ah..."
It's like rubbing salt into the wound, not to mention there's chili water on it. Nothing can be more painful than this.
Li Lingcang clenched his teeth, his eyes were bloodshot, he was extremely angry.
"Come at me if you dare, and let him go!"
"Despicable! You are forcing a confession under torture. This is against the law."
"Coming for you? I just wonder how many times you can take this whip?"
"Law, you still know the law? Then if you break the law knowingly, should you be put to death by slow slicing?"
Shu Feng turned to the jailer expressionlessly and said, "Continue."
This time the jailer changed to a branding iron and walked towards Li Lingcang's son with a smirk on his face.
He was tied up and couldn't move. After seeing the branding iron, he became incontinent. A foul smell wafted over, and he fanned the air in front of his nose.
"You talk tough, but your son is a coward!"
The smell of burnt meat came, and the person being tortured had fainted, without even a scream.
"Still not telling me?"
The answer he got was Li Lingcang's silence.
"Bring in her daughter."
Li Lingcang finally responded: "Rui Jin likes you so much, you want to torture her?"
The heartless man looked at Shu Feng with his eyes, and Shu Feng was amused: "There are many people who like me, what is she? She looks kind on the surface, but in fact she is selfish and vicious, comparable to a snake and scorpion."
He saw it all clearly when she punished someone in private. It was really life-threatening.
"I can not torture her, you know what to do."
Li Lingcang shut up.
Li Ruijin was pulled over, a bright and beautiful girl, but she stayed in this cell for half a night and half a day, and she became like a bunch of unattended weeds, growing wildly and disheveled.
His eyes were empty and dull, and they only became excited when he saw Li Lingcang.
"Dad, save me quickly, you are here to rescue me, right?"
After all, she is a girl, and she is afraid of such torture instruments.
Then he started shouting:
"Let me go, you filthy bastards! How dare you do this to me? I'll kill you, my father."
"Let me go now!"
"Dad, please save me. Kill these dogs and avenge me."
The jailers were scolded and were naturally not polite to her. They used all their strength to twist her arms behind her back, making her unable to move.
"As long as your father tells you who is behind this, he will let you go. Why don't you try to persuade your father?"
The sudden voice made Li Ruijin turn around in surprise.
"Brother Shufeng? You are here to save Jin'er too, right?"
Shu Feng said ruthlessly: "No."
Li Ruijin was a little dumbfounded and asked ignorantly: "Why?"
"Because what your father did is punishable by the death of all nine generations of your clan. If you don't reveal the mastermind behind this, you will surely die."
"What? Impossible. My father is a good official. You must have wronged him."
