Chapter 518: The Verdict Begins: Castration First
Old Lady Yin and Mrs. Yu knew that simply trafficking in people was a serious crime!
"My Lord, I...I am wronged...unjustly wronged!
Well...even if it was...a common woman...the common woman hid...hid Qiu Ju;
But... so... so many years, I... I have also... raised her... raised her well!
"I...I don't have any merits, but I also...I also...I have worked hard, right?"
"Snapped!"
Zheng Tong slammed the gavel in anger.
"Yin Sun, shut up!
You have raised Luo Hongtao for more than eight years?
Even if you have no credit, you have worked hard?
I ask you:
Did the Luo family ask you to raise their granddaughter?
Did Luo Yun ask you to raise Luo Hongtao for him?
How did Luo Hongtao end up in your house?
Don’t you know how she was abducted by Yin Baoye and hidden in your house?
You are so inhumane that you have caused the Luo family to be destroyed;
This caused the Luo family's grandparents and grandchildren to be separated and they couldn't see each other for more than eight years!
Yin Sun, how can you have the nerve to say that you raised Luo Hongtao?
How can you have the nerve to say that even if you have no merit, you have worked hard?
Your family is really a nest of snakes and rats, shameless to the extreme!
Someone come!
Let the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Yin family sign and seal, without any mistakes!"
"As you command, my lord!"
Xue Zhubu and the clerk stood up and walked over again.
Old Lady Yin and Mrs. Yu were so frightened that they shrank back, clenched their fists tightly, shook their heads desperately, and avoided the confession in Master Xue's hand, refusing to sign it.
Prefect Zheng Tong slammed the gavel down hard, "If you refuse to plead guilty, you will be severely punished!"
Several yamen runners in the hall threw several torture instruments directly in front of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
When they heard the prefect Zheng Tong say that they were going to be severely punished, and then saw the torture instruments such as bangs and sticks brought up by the yamen runners nearby, Old Lady Yin and Yu were so frightened that they held their heads and cried loudly.
Along with the crying and wailing, a foul smell also spread.
This is scary!
Xue Zhubu frowned in disdain, "Are you going to sign or not?
If you don't sign, you will be severely punished!"
“No no…don’t…don’t…”
Old Lady Yin and Yu looked at the torture instruments again, and helplessly, they dipped their trembling hands in the red ink, placed their fingerprints, and then collapsed to the ground.
Xue Zhubu was so disgusted that he turned around and left without wasting any more time.
Xue Zhubu walked to the desk and handed the confession to the prefect Zheng Tong.
At this point, all the criminals involved in the Luo family massacre have been interrogated.
Zheng Tong glanced around the hall, reached out to take the gavel, and was about to drop it...
Suddenly, I heard several shrill cries of injustice coming from the hall...
"Sir, I have been wronged!"
"Sir, I am suing Yin Baoye, Gao Cheng, Wei Feng, and Deng Gui for raping my granddaughter and beating my grandson severely four years ago.
Please, sir, please help me, Mr. Prefect!"
An old man and a middle-aged man came to the lobby, knelt down and cried.
"Sir, I have something to complain about!
Two years ago, these beasts molested my daughter-in-law. Unable to bear the humiliation, she jumped into a well and died tragically!
Please, sir... avenge my daughter-in-law! Revenge!"
An old woman with gray hair knelt down at the entrance of the lobby and burst into tears.
"My lord, there is also a humble person... I also want to file a complaint!
These hooligans have always been rampant in the streets, robbing and robbing!
My family runs a pub.
They often come to my pub to ask for wine and meat, and if I don’t give them, they will smash things up!
It's called an outstanding debt, but the money has never been repaid!
After six or seven years, the account has reached more than two hundred taels!"
"grown ups……"
Soon after, many men and women knelt in the courtroom and cried out for justice.
Those who knew that these rogues had been arrested by Shuntian Prefecture had already prepared a complaint before coming;
Others saw that the Shuntian Prefecture governor had enforced the law impartially and redressed the injustice for the Luo family;
Thinking of his own grievances, he simply rushed into the lobby to complain.
For a while, there were constant cries of injustice and wailing.
Zheng Tong, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, ordered Xue Zhubu to lead two clerks to record all the complaints.
The interrogation of the Luo family tragedy has ended, and Gao Cheng, Zhao Gan, Wei Feng, Deng Gui, and Yin Baoye have all confessed and signed.
As the saying goes, too many lice won't bite, and too many debts won't worry.
Several people thought that since they were going to die anyway, there was no point in refusing to confess.
So, he closed his eyes and confessed everything, one by one.
There were bright red fingerprints on each of the confessions.
Zheng Tong grabbed the gavel and slammed it down again.
“I will make a judgment on the Luo family tragedy, the petitions submitted by everyone just now, and the grievances expressed orally.
Yin Baoye, Gao Cheng, Zhao Gan, Wei Feng, and Deng Gui, five villains, formed a gang and ran rampant.
He bullies men and women, robs people and commits all kinds of evil, which is hated by both humans and gods.
Over the years, he bullied women to death many times;
Seriously wounded and killed many people;
He also robbed other people's property many times.
The five people have committed numerous crimes and the evidence is conclusive. I will definitely punish them severely!
Now I hereby decide:
The five men were taken away first and castrated to punish their evil deeds.
Five others were sentenced to be beheaded.
I will conclude this case and submit it to the Ministry of Justice, and it will be executed according to the Ministry's approval.
As for the Yin family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, in this case, they assisted the evildoers in hiding the Luo family's young child and forced the child to be a slave for many years;
There were also acts of beating, scolding and abuse.
Now, Yin Sun and Yin Yu are sentenced to ten years in prison.
According to Yin Baoye's confession just now, these two were also involved in another case;
Therefore, after the trial of the other case is completed, the two cases will be punished together.
Furthermore, after the government consolidates the Yin family’s existing property, except for items related to the other case, all will be given to the Luo family as compensation.”
The reason why Zheng Tong, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, said this was because, after all, the Yin family was related to the Marquis of Qinxing Mansion by marriage, and the Yin family must have the property from the dowry of Fu Baozhen, the late wife of the Marquis of Qinxing;
These must be recovered one by one according to Fu Baozhen's dowry list.
The soul-chasing gavel rang again, "Someone come!
Take down Yin Baoye, Gao Cheng, Zhao Gan, Wei Feng, and Deng Gui, and castrate them immediately!"
As the verdict of Prefect Zheng Tong was announced, cheers rang out in the courtroom.
The people all applauded!
“You deserve it! You deserve it!”
"That's right! This makes me feel better!"
"That's good now. The root of evil has been eliminated. They won't have the thought of committing evil again in hell!
I can’t do that anymore!”
Amid the cheers of the people, the constables and bailiffs came forward, dragging Yin Baoye and the other four men, two at a time, towards the execution place on the east side of the hall.
The sounds of struggle and screaming were endless along the way.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!……"
Not long after, there were bursts of sharp screams...
