Chapter 329 Breaking Two Legs
Magistrate Cheng still had his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice: "Steward, tell Lin Tongpan the results of the investigation."
The prefect's housekeeper stood up and said: "At the end of Xu Shi tonight, the eldest master had already gone to sleep in Sanniang's room. Suddenly, a scream came from the courtyard. It was in Jiuniang's room. We thought it was a thief, so we immediately
I went to check and found Mr. Lin sleeping naked on the bed with Jiuniang in his arms."
"We arrested two people, but Jiuniang was still unconscious. The doctor has seen it, and they said that Jiuniang was poisoned by incense and passed out, and no one knew what happened. But Mr. Lin was conscious at the time and saw us
He was arrested, and he even claimed that Jiuniang was out to seduce him, but tonight Jiuniang never left the courtyard at all, so how could she seduce him?"
"We found four of Mr. Lin's servants at the back door. They said they followed Mr. Lin out last night and walked around the night market. Then Mr. Lin walked forward alone. Later, he came to the back door of the prefecture and ordered them to guard the door.
, he went in to have a good time, and then he pried open the courtyard door and entered the backyard."
Tongxuan himself was in charge of prison matters, so he naturally understood these things. The matter was already very clear. His son was so obsessed that he ran to the backyard of the prefecture and used incense to stun the prefecture's concubine Jiu Yiniang. Then he was caught and revealed.
Lin Tongpan only had one thought in his mind right now, to beat this scoundrel to death.
After the housekeeper finished speaking, he stepped aside. Magistrate Cheng turned around with a gloomy look on his face and a cold light in his eyes. He said to Lin Tong: "You and I have worked together in Ji'an for three years. Today, your son bullied me so much that he even ran away."
Go to my back house and rape my concubine, haha, Lin Tongpan, do you really think that this Ji'an City is already yours, Lin Xingyuan's world?"
Judge Lin Tong broke into a cold sweat after hearing this and couldn't help wiping his sweat away.
He knew that what his son had done really offended the prefect to death. He now had the intention of beating his son to death, but after all, it was his own flesh and blood and he had to protect it.
Lin Tongpan bowed deeply and said, "Sir, if you do such evil things, I will not forgive you lightly, and I will definitely give you an explanation."
"Hmph," Magistrate Cheng snorted coldly, "Pull that bastard back by yourself, I'm waiting for your explanation." After saying that, he turned and walked out of the hall, leaving Lin Tongpan alone.
Lin Tongpan came to the backyard and saw his son still writhing on the ground. His face was full of anger and he ordered the government servant: "Come here and get him out of here."
The yamen servant came over and asked, "Master Tongsuan, how do you intervene?"
"Find a stick and thread it into the rope and carry it back directly."
A government servant came over with a big stick, put Lin Wenbo's four horses upside down on their hoofs, covered him with a sheet to hide his ugly appearance, and carried him away like that.
As for Lin Wenbo's four doglegs, Lin Tongpan's eyes were cold and stern, and he immediately ordered that their hands and feet be cut off and thrown into a place to let them die.
Back to the Lin Mansion, everyone in the Lin Mansion had already gotten up. When the eldest lady saw Lin Wenbo being carried back like that, she opened her mouth and scolded the government officials, "Are you dead? Why did you just carry my son back like this? This is so painful."
What a great sin."
The eldest lady grabbed the rag from Lin Wenbo's mouth, and Lin Wenbo immediately shouted, "Mother, mother, please save me."
He himself knew that he was in big trouble this time.
Lin Tongxuan came in, pointed at the eldest lady and cursed: "You are not used to it. Now you have caused a big thing. This small crime is nothing. You will have to suffer in the future. Everyone should go back to their rooms and make a fuss.
What does it look like?"
Everyone dispersed quickly.
The eldest lady hugged Lin Tongpan's arm and said with a tearful face: "My son has caused trouble, but you have to save him."
"Hasn't this already brought him back? If it weren't for the fact that he is my son, do you think he would still be alive now?" Lin Tongpian scolded.
"Then this matter is over." The eldest lady asked carefully.
"Go, huh, it's still early. I have to give an explanation to the prefect," Lin Tongpan said.
"Master, how should I explain this?"
Lin Tongpian said with a sullen face: "He can be exempted from the death penalty, but he cannot escape from the living penalty. At least his legs must be broken."
When Lin Wenbo next to him heard this, he turned pale with fright and shouted: "Dad, please don't break my legs. It was really that woman who seduced me. I was in the night market, and the woman looked back at me and smiled. I walked all the way."
I followed her into her room, but she didn't commit adultery. Instead, she took the initiative. Who knew she was the prefect's ninth aunt?"
Lin Tongpuan pointed at his son and cursed: "You evil son, you are still making excuses."
"Dad, I really have no excuses."
The eldest lady was also advising from the side: "Master, please don't do anything harsh. Go and ask the magistrate again."
Lin Tongpan snorted coldly, "Your son slept with the prefect's little wife. This is a great shame and humiliation. How can I ask for help? If I don't give a satisfactory explanation to the prefect, I will definitely hate him in the future. I have an official position."
It may not be guaranteed.”
"Sir, you have a backing in the capital."
"Do you think Magistrate Cheng has no backing? His backing is much stronger than mine."
"Come here, pull this scoundrel down and break his legs." Lin Tongpan ordered.
"Master, don't do it." The eldest lady cried and stopped her.
"Dad, dad, I know I'm wrong, don't break my legs." Lin Wenbo kept struggling, but the rope on his body was still tied.
The servants came in and carried Lin Wenbo out. Lin Tongpan took action himself and struck hard with a big stick. "Ah!" Lin Wenbo screamed, and one of his left legs was broken.
Seeing his son's pain, Lin Tongpian couldn't bear it, but he had to give an explanation to the prefect, so he was cruel and hit Lin Wenbo's right leg with the big stick in his hand.
"Crack!"
"ah!"
Lin Wenbo fainted from the pain.
The eldest lady hugged her son and cried. Lin Tongpuan pulled her over and said, "Stop crying. He asked the doctor to treat him. You go and prepare a hundred thousand taels of silver. I will send it to Magistrate Cheng right away."
When the eldest lady heard this, she immediately cried even more miserably: "One hundred thousand taels, it will take several years to save this, how can you give it up?"
"Do you still want to save your son's life?" Lin Tongpian scolded.
"Isn't your leg already broken?" The eldest lady really felt sorry for this money, it was such a huge sum.
"Do you think this is enough? Go quickly." Lin Tongpan urged.
Lin Tongpan came to the magistrate's house again, saw Magistrate Cheng in the study, and personally presented him with a hundred thousand taels of silver notes.
That night, Mrs. Jiu was sent away. She was originally a geisha bought by a wealthy businessman as a gift to Magistrate Cheng. There was no emotion at all. She was mostly used to hold weddings and collect gifts. Now she is here.
She earned one hundred thousand taels of silver from her. The value of this woman has been squeezed out, so there is no need to keep it.
As for cuckoldry, ancient people never took concubines seriously, and there is no such thing as cuckoldry. Before talking about this woman and him, she was not perfect.
