At the end of the Han Dynasty: a stingy husband from his hometown

Chapter 72 Punishment
Wang Fu was already old, he was kicked by Yang Qiu and fell to the ground, he groaned in pain, he couldn't get up while lying on the ground.

"Father!"

Seeing this, Wang Meng let out a cry of pain, and hurriedly rushed forward to Wang Fu, her eyes filled with tears, and she hurriedly tried to pull Wang Fu up from the ground.

"Come here, put on the torture device, take Wang Meng away, and interrogate him one by one!"

He took orders from left and right, and without paying any attention to Wang Meng's loud shouts, he roughly pulled him away and pinned him to the ground.

Yang Qiu, however, slowly walked up to Wang Fu, looked down at the bereaved dog, and said in a cold voice, "A rebel from the chaos of the country, don't you plead guilty when you're about to die?"

Wang Fu suppressed the pain in his body, turned his head and stared at Yang Qiu viciously, and cursed: "I am a close minister of the emperor, a high official in the imperial court, and a titleholder, how dare you insult me ​​like this!"

"I want to see Your Majesty!"

"I want to see Your Majesty!"

Wang Fu looked like a madman, and obviously regarded the emperor as the last straw.

However, Yang Qiu knelt down and patted Wang Fu's face gently, whispering in his ear: "Didn't I say that you will never see His Majesty again in your life? The evidence of you being a thief has been firmly established. I can actually convict you directly."

"However, father and son have committed a lot of evil. Since you are in the prison of Sili Xiaowei's mansion, how can you easily let you out alive?"

Wang Fu turned his head to look at Yang Qiu with a playful expression on his face. The great eunuch who had always held a high position actually felt a chill down his spine at this moment.

At this moment, a jailer had already entered the cell with various types of instruments of torture.

Yang Qiu stepped forward, picked out a bamboo stick, and ordered to the left and right: "Tie up this old man."

The jailer didn't dare to be negligent, and tied Wang Fu arbitrarily to something similar to a stool.

Seeing this, Wang Meng's pupils shrank slightly, and he shouted loudly: "My father is a regular attendant among the two thousand stones, how can he be punished by whipping, Yang Qiu, you thief, don't want to humiliate my father!"

The so-called punishment is not as good as a doctor, and the courtesy is not as good as a commoner.

Even in the Han Dynasty, this was still an unwritten rule. Especially for such a high-ranking official with two thousand stones, even if he had to be executed and beheaded, at least he would be given some dignity.

What's more, the Han Dynasty emphasized governing the country with benevolence and righteousness and did not advocate the abuse of torture instruments.

During the reign of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, the corporal punishment of cutting off human body parts was abolished and flogging was used as punishment.During the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the emperor felt that the punishment of flogging was too severe. People were often beaten to death before the flogging was completed, so they continued to reduce the number of floggings. For example, for the crime of beheading the left toe, the initial flogging was reduced by five hundred. Later, he was beaten one hundred times.

Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty considered that the thorns were more painful to beat and would bruise people, and stipulated that only bamboo sticks could be used for flogging to punish prisoners, so that the force-bearing area of ​​the torture tool was larger and the harm was relatively less.

Later, even these crimes can be atoned for by handing over money.

In the Western Han Dynasty, it was stipulated that gold should be used for ransom, but in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was changed to silk for ransom. This is definitely a great news for family officials and wealthy people.

They are not short of money, so even if they break the law and are punished, they can avoid the criminal law by redeeming their punishment.

As for ordinary people, I'm sorry, they simply can't afford the high ransom fee.

Over time, the tradition that the doctor could not be punished became an unspoken rule, and the person who was punished could only pay the ransom money at most.

Yang Qiu's eyes immediately turned cold when he heard Wang Meng's loud shouting, and he shouted to the two jailers who were holding Wang Meng down: "Slap your mouth!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Those two guards didn't dare to be negligent, they slapped Wang Meng's mouth a few times, and he couldn't even speak clearly.

Even so, Wang Meng was still worried about her father and struggled to say: "According to the law, we can pay silk cloth to offset the flogging. My father is old, as long as Yang Shijun does not impose criminal laws, we are willing to spend any amount of money!"

Yang Qiu sneered and said, "The money you have looted over the years will be confiscated and brought into His Majesty's internal treasury. How can there be any money left to redeem your punishment?"

At this point, Yang Qiu had lost interest in talking to Wang Meng and walked directly in front of the tied up Wang Fu. He picked up the bamboo stick and hit Wang Fu's butt hard.

"what!"

"what!"

"what!"

The shrill screams echoed in the cell. After a hundred lashes, Wang Fu was beaten to pieces, and the blood stained his entire back and lower body red.

Not only that, Wang Fu himself was beaten until he became unconscious and apparently passed out.

After a hundred blows, even Yang Qiu himself felt a little out of breath. He threw away the blood-stained bamboo stick in his hand, pointed at Wang Fu who had passed out, and said, "This fang bone is so hard, it's so hard to be beaten. He is dying and refuses to plead guilty. In this case, continue to torture."

He picked up a torture stick, handed it to Zhou Qi, and said, "After the flogging, twenty stick punishments, why don't you carry it out?"

When Zhou Qi heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

Yang Qiu was not executing an execution to force Wang Fu to confess. It seemed that he directly wanted to torture him to death and had no intention of asking for a confession.

Although Zhou Qi treats the enemy cruelly, he is unwilling to use this method to torture people. He prefers to completely eliminate the opponent directly physically, so that both sides can keep a face.

Although Wang Fu was just a eunuch, Yang Qiu's humiliation could not guarantee that he would not arouse the same hatred of the other eunuchs.

If this is the case, even if there is a conflict of interest between the eunuchs, they might join forces to kill Yang Qiu when the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad.

There is no real benefit for Yang Qiu to do so except to get some relief.

If Zhou Qi took over the cane and executed Wang Fu with the cane, and if word got out about this, Zhou Qi would probably be labeled a cruel official, which would be very detrimental to his future development.

However, Zhou Qi looked at Yang Qiu who was very interested, but he did not dare to say anything to dissuade him.

With a sudden change in his mind, Zhou Qi immediately bowed with shame and said: "I have never used torture tools before. If I can't control the force and beat Wang Fu to death, wouldn't it be a bad thing for the emperor to interrogate?"

"In my opinion, Shijun should let those experienced jailers carry out the execution. They know the severity of the attack, and they can complete the rod punishment without beating people to death halfway."

Hearing this, Yang Qiu looked at Wang Fu who had passed out and was dying. He thought that it would be a good thing if he could be tortured a little longer. He immediately shouted to the jailer in charge of administering the punishment: "Twenty canes." , don’t beat Wang Fu to death, or you will receive the rest of the rod punishment.”

The jailer was horrified and hurriedly took the order. He poured cold water on Wang Fu to wake him up, then took the torture stick and began to torture him carefully.

"what!"

"what!"

"what!"

Wang Fu groaned in pain at first, but as time passed, his consciousness gradually fell into a coma, and he didn't even have the strength to shout.
