Prime Minister Liu Pei suddenly made a sound, and all the officials were silent for a moment, all looking in Liu Pei's direction to see what he had to say.

Liu Pei pondered for a moment before slowly opening his mouth, "Long live! It is indecent to torture the imperial officials in the court. Since there are still doubts about the case of the Yun family, it is better for His Majesty to issue an order to send it back to Dali Temple for retrial, that is, gone."

On the surface, what Liu Pei said was fairly fair, neither side was biased. In fact, he had already done a lot of small calculations in his heart, and he had already calculated the benefits and losses of this matter clearly.

Zheng Tikui is a donkey, judging from his appearance, he will not give up until he beats Ding Wenjing and Jin Dayuan to confession today.And Luo Ping had a rare idea today and tried his best to help Zheng Tikui and others.

Then the situation is extremely unfavorable to him.

Back then, he just casually said that Yunjiabao has a copper mine in Leping County, which is really a good place to make money.Just this one sentence caused such a big mess after Jin Dayuan's heartless listened to it.

Thinking about it, Jin Dayuan is too stupid, it's just a copper mine, the Yun family really doesn't care.He told Yun Zhentian directly, saying that the prime minister has taken a fancy to your copper mine, you can let it out, Yun Zhentian may not be ignorant of current affairs and say no to it, why must he be wronged and plot rebellion, so that everyone Defeated, the whole family died tragically.

When Liu Pei knew about this, the Ministry of Criminal Justice had already ordered Yun Zhentian to be executed immediately. At that time, things were done fairly neatly. When Liu Pei accepted the title deed of the copper mine, he just reprimanded him a few times and put it away. The title deed is settled.

It's too late to say these things now, it's better to figure out how to get out.

Liu Pei thought about it for a long time, seeing that Ding and Jin were about to pass the sentence, especially Jin Dayuan, if it wasn't for Ding Wenjing's tough body, and he refused to admit it, Jin Dayuan would have been so scared that he would have said everything.

If the trial continues like this, if these two people recruit themselves out in front of all the officials in the golden palace, it will be a big game, and it will be difficult to end it, why don't he just say a few words If you want to turn things around, bring the case back to Dali Temple, and then play it by ear. Putting pressure on privately is better than making it a foregone conclusion at the Golden Temple, and you will never be able to turn your body back.

Luo Ping thought it was a feasible solution, and it was really outrageous to beat up two second-rank officials crying and howling in the Golden Palace.Looking in Luo Ming's direction, he saw that Luo Ming was thinking about something and didn't notice Luo Ping's questioning gaze.

Luo Ping didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately ordered: "Just as the prime minister said, everyone will be punished..."

"Wait!"

Before Luo Ping finished speaking, Liu Pei stopped him again, and Luo Ping hurriedly asked, "What else is the prime minister doing?"

Liu Pei sneered slightly, "Your Majesty, Mr. Jiang said just now: "The Tai/Ancestor left a legacy, and anyone who knocks on the drum to sue the imperial court must be rolled off the nail board to atone for the serious crime of suing the government by the people before they can seek justice." Long live the interrogation', since this is the case, let this so-called descendant of the Yun family also roll the nails, and then ask Long live to decree to re-trial!"

In the Dongli law, it is already a serious crime to sue an official by the people. If you beat the Dengwen drum, you must roll over the nail board and memorize the certificate on the nail board to show that you have really suffered a strange injustice.

Liu Pei made things difficult on purpose. Most people can’t bear this crime. Rolling a circle on the nail board, good people have to be tied into a sieve, plus the time of the back-shaped paper, if they can’t get medical treatment in time, those in poor health will die directly. No surprises on pegboard either.

This is Liu Pei's sinister intentions. He sees that Qian Huan is weak and not strong. If he really goes to roll the nailboard, he might be able to survive this test.If he really died on the nail board and couldn't get up, then the case would have no victim.There is a lot to do in the trial of a case without a victim, and it is not uncommon for it to end up in the end.

Zheng Tingkui couldn't bear it in his heart. Rolling the nailboard is not a crime for human beings. Just as he was about to say that I would replace him, Qian Huan already knelt and climbed two steps, shouting: "Caomin wants to avenge my father! Caomin wants to roll the nailboard!"

Zheng Tingkui shook his head secretly, thinking that he was a fool again.

Glancing at Qian Huan, he saw that his eyes were firm, he raised his head stubbornly, and looked directly at Luo Ping.His good-looking eyebrows and eyes also became weak and haggard because of his pale face, with a kind of pitiful beauty.

Admiring Qian Huan's determination in his heart, Zheng Tikui said loudly: "Long live Mingjian, I see that Mr. Yun's complexion is as white as paper. It is obvious that he has an external infection and an internal injury. He has just recovered from a serious illness. If he rolls on the nail board, I am afraid he will not be able to get off. According to my opinion, it is still better to change the rolling nail board to the stick punishment, and fifty court sticks are enough to show the level of imperial power, so why use such an overbearing method. This, this and the torture of "opening a smile" What's the difference?"

Luo Ping nodded again and again, it is better not to use such a cruel method.

Zuodu Yushi laughed, and said sarcastically: "Master Zheng is very sympathetic to the beauty. When he sees a beauty, he can even put aside the teachings of the ancestors. Hehe, it's really ugly!"

Zheng Tikui was furious, he only felt guilty and apologetic towards Qian Huan in his heart, and he didn't mean to offend him at all. After being said so unbearably by Zuodu Censor, Zheng Tikui said angrily: "Master Chen, you still have the face to say that others A 12-year-old girl just died in your house a few days ago, and that girl's parents sued you to our government office, saying that you strangled the 12-year-old girl to death because of adultery!"

"Hmph! Master Chen, if you hadn't spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy the girl's body and buried it in the ancestral grave of your Chen family as a concubine, the girl's parents would probably still refuse to forgive you. Woolen cloth!"

Zuo Du Yushi's face was black and blue, he was speechless for a long time, but finally he was hit by a sore spot, so he hurriedly covered his face with his robe sleeve, unable to speak.

Zheng Tikui turned to Prime Minister Liu Pei again, wanting to reason with him, which caused public outrage.

Liu Pei is the elder of the two dynasties, and he has been in business for many years. There are many adults in the court who are his old disciples who he single-handedly promoted. Said: "Master Zheng, the legacy of the Tai/ancestor cannot be revoked! Otherwise, the emperor will not even listen to the words of the ancestors?"

"Master Zheng is in vain as the parental official of the people in the capital, and he can't even follow the orders and prohibitions. If everyone makes excuses, what do you need Wang Fa?"

"Master Chen is right. Tai/ancestor's legacy can also be easily changed? This precedent must never be set!"

After arguing for a long time, even Jiang Nianbai and others joined in the melee, both sides refused to give in to each other, you argued with each other, and cited historical precedents from the classics, and the quarrel turned into a big discussion on Dongli's laws in the end.

Luo Ping sighed when he heard it from above, this was already a common practice in the court, and he was used to it after so many years, anyway, no one listened to what he said, if he should quarrel or quarrel, whoever wins the quarrel will listen to him.It's ridiculous to say, but this is the current situation of Dongli Chaotang, he doesn't have the courage to change it, and all hope is placed on Luo Ming.

Qian Huan stood up suddenly, and shouted loudly: "Cao Min is willing to roll the nail board!"

This sound was full of grievance and despair, the voice was high-pitched and plaintive, and everyone's heart trembled when they heard it, and the hall that was still noisy just now immediately fell silent.

Seeing this, Zheng Tingkui and Jiang Nianbai sighed secretly that Qian Huan was confused. Didn't they argue for so long just to prevent him from suffering this crime?

Qian Huan has made up his mind. He has been waiting for 11 years, and he doesn't want to wait any longer. This moment is a torment for him. If the father's case can be brought to light, then there is nothing to be afraid of.

The four eunuchs went down, and after a while, they came up with a four-foot-square thing.

The thing was four feet long and wide, with handles at the four corners. Four eunuchs lifted the handles and placed it in front of Luo Ping's throne.

This is the first time for everyone present, not to mention the adults, even those who often deal with instruments of torture in the Ministry of Punishment have only seen this thing a few times, and everyone took a breath after seeing it. instruments of torture.

I saw a four-foot-square nail plate. The base was made of fine steel, and it was densely covered with steel nails about a finger long. .

The four eunuchs retreated, and immediately came up two warriors with golden helmets, lined up on both sides of the nail board.

Qian Huan moved lightly, walked up to the nail board, and threw herself forward, the whole body went straight to the nail board.

"and many more!"

Everyone stared at Qian Huan, the tense atmosphere pervaded the hall, Qian Huan threw herself on the nailboard, the atmosphere was extremely suppressed, people even took their breaths lightly, and dared not breathe out.

When he was so nervous, suddenly there was this violent shout, and all the adults jumped, their hearts almost jumped out of their throats.

Qian Huan was also so shocked that she stopped what she had just done, stopped her pace, and looked at Luo Ming suspiciously.

Luo Ming walked quickly to the nail board, bent down and searched carefully, no abnormality could be seen with the naked eye, he put his hand on the nail board, stroked it lightly twice, then frowned, stood up and said to Luo Ping: "Father, this nail board has been tampered with!"

Luo Ping was shocked and asked what was going on.

"In the middle of the top of the nailboard, there's a spot where the spikes are a little bit higher than the rest."

"This is……"

Luo Ming pointed to a place on the nail board, "Here, you can't see it with the naked eye, you have to touch it carefully with your hands. When Erchen took a closer look, there was still a faint blue light on the tip of the nail. poison!"

Luo Ming's eyes turned cold, and he glanced at Prime Minister Liu Pei and Zuo Du Yushi, "It's so vicious! The protruding piece is exactly where the heart and lungs are. If Qian Huan lays on her stomach, the protruding nails will impale her heart. Before he can finish memorizing the pleadings, he will die of exhaustion."

Liu Pei looked as usual, staring ahead, gently twisting the ivory guard in his hand, as if nothing happened.Zuodu Yushi didn't have such skills anymore, he pretended to be calm and looked at Luo Ming, and immediately dodged to avoid Luo Ming's gaze, snorted, and turned his face away.

Luo Ping was furious, there were people who dared to play tricks under his nose, and they were too contemptuous of the emperor, and he was not taken seriously.He shouted: "Bring me the four eunuchs who were carrying the nail board just now!"

Liu Jun went to fetch the man himself, and came back shortly afterwards, and replied: "The little eunuch committed suicide in fear of crime. He took the poison after leaving the Yongtai Palace, fell to the ground and died, there was no time for treatment."

Luo Ping listened, and smiled helplessly, "This is my world..."

After waving Liu Jun to step aside, Luo Ping stood up, got off the high platform, and shouted loudly: "Come on! Build another nail board!"

The emperor stepped down from the throne, and all the officials hurriedly bowed and stood, not daring to face the king, Luo Ping turned to all the officials, and glanced coldly, "I want to see with my own eyes, who dares to make trouble under my nose!"

Soon someone put up another nail board, removed the previous one, and placed a new one in front of Luo Ping.

Luo Ping said to Qian Huan: "Go! You roll over the nailboard and tell your family's grievances in detail, and I will make a judgment!"

Qian Huan closed her eyes and prayed silently in her heart, "Father, mother, elder brother, younger sister, your souls will not be scattered, wait for me!"

The light hit the nailboard, emitting a cold light. Qian Huan faced the nailboard, but there was no trace of fear in her heart.

Up to now, Qian Huan's heart is as calm as still water. From the moment he beat the Dengwen drum, his heart is at peace. Years of repression and forbearance have made him neither human nor ghost, laughing in Huajie Liuxiang, No matter how disgusted you are in your heart, you have to laugh out loud in front of people you don't like.

Can finally be freed.

Regardless of success or failure today, he can be freed.

Qian Huan took one last look at Luo Ming, her red lips slightly curled up, and she smiled sweetly.

He turned his head and threw himself forward. Numerous steel nails pierced into his body. The pain caused Qian Huan to clenched his teeth. Blood gushed out, staining Qian Huan's snow-white clothes red. Beads of sweat came out, soaking the hair on his forehead.

Qian Huan opened her mouth tremblingly, took a breath, and shouted loudly with all her strength: "Cao Minyun, Yun Qianhuan, I have a grievance to sue!"

Luo Ping nodded, "Quasi!"

Qian Huan took another breath, his limbs were already numb with pain, all the blood seemed to rush to the top of his head, Qian Huan felt dizzy, his eyes were blurry, the feeling of dizziness was getting stronger and stronger, Qian Huan wanted to share It took a lot of energy to restrain myself from fainting.

"Cao Min Yun Qian Huan," Qian Huan said with difficulty: "The son of Yun Zhentian in Yunjiabao. In July of the fourth year of Tianqing, my father went on a trip and brought back a white tiger by chance..."
