Chapter 537: Many Evils, Cut into Pieces
Yin's fingers were already bloody from the torture.
The clerk pulled Yin's injured finger to make her press her fingerprints on the confession. Can we still expect the clerk to be gentle with her?
That can't be possible!
Just by being pulled and pressed to make a handprint, Yin screamed in pain.
Until the screams stopped abruptly, Yin fainted again.
The confessions of Leng Xian, Yin, Old Yin, Leng Yixing, and Leng Yiyang were all obtained;
The confessions of other people in the mansion had already been interrogated in the cells.
Prefect Zheng Tong gathered all the confessions together.
At this moment, the lobby was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Leng Rongyue sat between the first and second wives.
The first and second wives each held one of Leng Rongyue's little hands, comforting and caring for this motherless girl.
While Leng Rongyue was feeling the warmth and care from her two aunts, she was also looking coldly at the Yin family members who were collapsing in front of her like a pile of mud.
At this moment, Leng Rongyue was speaking silent words to the original owner, Leng Rongyue, in her heart that only they could understand.
"Yue'er, did you see it?
In the past, they all thought they could bully you;
Now, looking at the fate of these mangy dogs, do you feel a little relieved?
Don't be impatient. One day soon, I will watch them go to hell with you!"
"Someone, pour cold water on Yin to wake her up!"
Prefect Zheng Tong gave instructions while he reached out to take a piece of paper and wrote on it.
After a moment, Zheng Tong put down the pen, picked up the gavel again and slammed it hard.
"Plaintiff, defendant, listen carefully!"
Several yamen runners heard the noise and came forward, pulling Leng Xian, who was lying on the ground, Yin, who had just been awakened by the cold water, and old Yin, who was drooping her head, with lifeless eyes and a wooden face, Leng Yixing and Leng Yiyang, all to kneel down;
All the people from the Anguo Mansion who were sitting here stood up at this time, facing the Shuntian Prefecture Governor Zheng Tong, waiting to hear his verdict on the case.
"Now, Duke Anguo Fu Peng and his wife sued Duke Qinxing Leng Xian, saying that he had cheated on his wife and married her, was greedy for money and forgot his moral principles, and colluded with his mother Yin and his concubine Yin, and through the help of his maid Qian, bribed the unscrupulous doctor Lu Huai to poison his wife Fu Baozhen.
Afterwards, he killed people to silence them, resulting in the death of several people;
After his wife Fu Baozhen was murdered, Leng Xian, his mother, concubines and others immediately seized Fu Baozhen's property and enjoyed it at will;
In the years since his first wife Fu Baozhen was murdered, he has bullied and abused Leng Rongyue, the daughter of his first wife Fu Baozhen.
To sum up, you have violated many laws of Jingyue and your crime is obvious!
But it’s not just that.
Moreover, not long ago, Leng Xian, Yin, Old Yin, Leng Yixing and others came up with a vicious plan, intending to harm the legitimate daughter Leng Rongyue, and to seize the imperial decree to grant marriage. They wanted to replace the legitimate daughter Leng Rongyue with the concubine's daughter Leng Yixing and marry into the royal family. Their behavior was a crime of deceiving the emperor, and they deserved to be put to death!
Leng Xian has committed several crimes and this government has ruled that Leng Xian should be sentenced to death by slicing! "
"Oh! Good God!
It's a punishment by flaying!"
"The prefect actually sentenced Leng Xian, the Marquis of Qinxing, to death by slicing!"
"..."
A series of exclamations came from the crowd in the hall.
"how?
Do you think the prefect’s sentence was too harsh?”
Someone nearby asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No no!"
The person being questioned quickly waved his hands to deny, "That's not what I meant!
That's not what I meant!
I thought from the beginning that Leng Xian had committed a capital crime anyway;
He won't be able to survive and will definitely be beheaded!
But I didn’t expect… I didn’t expect!
The flaying punishment, which is rarely seen in this dynasty, is actually going to be used on Leng Xian!"
"how?
Skin him... shouldn't I?
Didn’t you hear what the prefect said just now?
Punishment for multiple crimes! Punishment for multiple crimes!
Do you know what "several crimes are punished together" means? "
This person said this while snapping his fingers...
“Fraudulent marriage is a crime;
Then he killed his wife for money, isn't that a capital crime?
Also, in the Qinxing Marquis’s mansion, only the biological daughter of the late wife can inherit the dowry property of the late wife;
No one else has the right to seize the late wife’s dowry!
But he Leng Xian occupied it and enjoyed it. Isn't this another crime?
As an official of the imperial court, he broke the law knowingly, so his crime should be more serious, right?
What's more, he even dared to covet the imperial decree of marriage and wanted to make a concubine the legitimate heir!
This is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor!
With so many crimes combined... is beheading enough?"
"Not enough!"
“It’s not enough!”
The man responded quickly, as if if he responded slowly, he would be classified as the same as Leng Xian!
"Hey hey hey... continue listening... continue listening..."
The person next to him raised his hand and pointed to the lobby.
Everyone here immediately stopped talking, pricked up their ears, and listened to the prefect Zheng Tong continue to pronounce the verdict.
“Leng Xian’s mother, Yin, is greedy and vicious by nature.
First, he instigated his son Leng Xian to have an affair with his niece Yin without a matchmaker;
Later, he instigated his son Leng Xian to defraud and marry Fu Baozhen, the legitimate daughter of Duke Anguo!
After Fu Baozhen, the legitimate daughter of Duke Anguo, married into the Marquis Qinxing's mansion, he teamed up with his son Leng Xian and his niece Yin to poison Fu Baozhen, who was already the Marquis Qinxing's legitimate wife.
Afterwards, several people occupied and enjoyed all of Fu Baozhen's dowry;
Leng Rongyue, the biological daughter of Fu Baozhen, was bullied and abused...
He has absolutely no basic humanity of elders loving the young, he is so cruel and ruthless!
Later, he conspired with his son Leng Xian, niece Yin, and granddaughter Leng Yixing to steal the imperial decree granted by the current emperor to Leng Rongyue, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Qinxing.
He has a vicious heart, bad behavior, and is extremely bold!
Yin has confessed to the crime and the evidence is conclusive.
Therefore, he was sentenced to multiple punishments and sentenced Leng Xian’s mother Yin... to death by slicing!
