Chapter 203 Ban Anguo, who harms others and is not good for oneself
The Yunyang County Magistrate was worried about which one to choose.
I thought to myself, if I were dismissed from office, I would become a commoner, and even if I die, I will die in my official position.
"Prime Minister, I will choose sixty battles for my subordinates."
Yunyang County Magistrate gritted his teeth and said, those government officials did not dare to beat him half to death.
"Reducing Yunyang County Magistrate to the rank of county magistrate."
Xie Ji let him go for now. The most important thing is to revise the Daxia Code at that time.
At that time, it will be impossible to take advantage of the loopholes.
"Execute it now, right here."
Xie Ji looked indifferently at the county magistrate who was kneeling on the ground with numb legs and feet. Unfortunately, this magistrate had no evidence.
When Chen Xing saw that Xie Ji was about to execute the order, he said, "Prime Minister, this is not good."
Seeing blood in this lobby was a bit unlucky, and he would never dare to sit here again.
It's not that he doesn't want to see blood, but it's really a shadow.
What's more, this Xie Ji was clearly used to warn them.
The county magistrate's feet are numb. This incident was all caused by Ban Anguo. I want you to look good when the time comes.
Wait.
Xie Ji ignored the county guard who was admonishing him and looked at the trembling people, feeling particularly unhappy.
If you play tricks with me, I will make you paralyzed on the bed and unable to move for the rest of your life.
"Wang Wu, you go and execute it, no water is allowed, as long as you don't die."
Since you are playing tricks, I will also play tricks. Just because you take advantage of legal loopholes does not mean that I can't.
I will make you lame even if you are not dead.
When everyone heard Xie Ji's words, they looked at Wang Wu who was standing next to Xie Ji. This man had not said a word until now.
The county magistrate felt that something was wrong. If the government officials came, they would not dare to kill him. This Wang Wu was a tall and handsome man.
The county magistrate looked a little disappointed.
"Prime Minister, I won't bother the general anymore. I'll leave this kind of menial work to the Yamen servants." The county magistrate said nervously. If he was really responsible for the execution, it was foreseeable that he would be doomed.
Xie Ji ignored the county magistrate's begging for mercy, and his eyes told Wang Wu to go quickly, as long as he didn't die.
As for why he was not allowed to die, if he was beaten to death, it would be a different kind of execution, and he would also be exposed.
But if you don't die, you will be paralyzed in bed for the rest of your life and naturally unable to handle government affairs. Then there will be a way to remove you and make you repent in bed for the rest of your life.
Wang Wu's eyes were a little depressed. Why should he do such a rough job? He was only sent by His Majesty to guard Xie Ji. He couldn't take care of other work.
But seeing the look in Xie Ji's eyes, I felt weak and had no choice but to do such menial work.
At this time, some servants were ordered to bring a torture stool. The Yunyang County Magistrate's mouth was gagged, and the servants pressed him on the torture stool, exposing his white buttocks.
The Yunyang County Magistrate felt a sudden sense of shame. This was not only a physical injury, but also a psychological trauma.
He saw some officials tilting their heads away or lowering their heads out of respect.
"Pah..." Suddenly he felt a loud noise in his buttocks, and he couldn't help but scream due to the huge stinging pain, but he couldn't make a sound because his mouth was blocked.
His face was occupied by pain and turned red.
The county governor was sitting on it, feeling a little uncomfortable. He turned to look at Xie Ji and found that he had lowered his head and played with the tea cup in his hand.
His eyes were fixed on the tea cup, but he seemed completely out of it.
There were sounds of blows one after another, and the officials kneeling below felt numb in their legs and feet, as if it was not the county magistrate who was being tortured, but himself.
They actually felt the same way, every minute and every second was suffering.
After a while, blood dripped onto the floor. Magistrate Yunyang lay there, without even the strength to struggle.
Everyone took a breath of air and looked at Xie Ji with fear.
Traitor, no wonder he is called a traitor.
To actually use such a shameful method, it seems that the Yunyang County Magistrate is lame this time, and his life is even in danger.
Although they had seen a lot of blood shed by unruly people in the past, the pain was not felt on them, but now this county magistrate made their legs and feet numb.
After a long time, the beating stopped. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and finally stopped.
Looking back at the Yunyang County Magistrate, I found that he was bloody and bloody, with only one breath left.
Xie Ji kept looking at the tea cup in his hand, not wanting to see the blood.
He waved his hand and signaled his servants to carry the Yunyang County Magistrate away.
"Prime Minister." The Yunyang County magistrate endured great pain and seemed to use the only strength in his body to say these words. Xie Ji looked up.
I found that he was pointing at Ban Anguo, and I could see that Ban Anguo's expression became extremely bad.
"Ban Anguo...this person...is even more guilty."
After Yunyang County Magistrate said this, he fainted from the pain and was immediately carried away to ask a doctor to treat him.
Xie Ji looked at Ban Anguo and found that his expression was extremely ugly and he was frightened.
Ban Anguo's legs were so stiff that he could not even shake. He could only hope in Xie Ji to atone for his sins for having said so much.
With a 'pop' sound, Ban Anguo knelt on the floor, looking panicked, waiting for Xie Ji's verdict.
He knew that his life or death was in Xie Ji's hands. It was impossible for these people to intercede for him, and they wished he would be sentenced to a harsher sentence.
"Prime Minister, Ban Anguo knowingly deceived the county magistrate and fabricated charges, resulting in numerous unjust, false and wrongful cases. Death is not enough to enforce justice. The county magistrate has been convicted, and as the county magistrate, Ban Anguo cannot escape the crime."
The county guard said at this time, this Ban Anguo, damn it, he actually said so much.
Do you think that just by saying so much, you can get Xie Ji to let you go?
You are too clever and play too much, which not only harms others, but also harms yourself.
If you are honest and upright, this trick may be useful, but you are already stained with a lot of charges, and it is impossible to clear your name.
This is not only unfair, but also stupid. He actually reported the crime himself just to make Xie Ji look at him with admiration. He is a fool.
Remembering the past is the guide for the future. This has also warned all officials that they must be more careful in the future and never let the matter fall into the hands of such villains.
Xie Ji looked at Ban Anguo, this kind of person is indeed a villain.
Xie Ji really wanted to behead such people in public.
However, I put down the butcher knife in my heart.
He would like to have as many people as he can. If he beheaded him this time, wouldn't it be in line with the wishes of those officials?
In the future, if someone wants to inform someone, they will learn from this person's story.
If he had given a lighter sentence, when those officials were desperate in the future, reporting on other officials would be a way to survive.
"Ban Anguo wasted no time on human life, fabricated numerous evidence of crimes, and ignored the laws of the country. He should have been beheaded and abandoned. But I thought he had a repentant heart and exposed everyone, which is a meritorious service."
"The merits and demerits are equal to each other, but this merit cannot be redeemed and this crime cannot be offset. Therefore, he is dismissed from his post and his official position is taken back. He served for twenty years and served for three years."
After Xie Ji finished speaking, he thought to himself that this man was already crippled. Although he was saved from death, his future life would be even more painful than that of the county magistrate.
Why did he give a relatively harsh sentence, but the county magistrate who was the chief official was not even removed from his official position.
That's because the evidence of this person's crime is conclusive and he has confessed his crime and cannot be excused.
Because the evidence of the crime was unclear, the county magistrate could only convict him of official negligence, because the penalty for official faults is very light.
Ban Anguo collapsed when he heard these words. He did not expect this result.
It's also his fault for being stupid. He could have exposed it in other ways, but he had to expose himself.
Those who harm others and do not benefit themselves are those who harm the country.
From now on, Ban Anguo's deeds will be spread among the officialdom, sounding a warning to many officials.
