Chapter 9733 standing cage
Rongshan.
"Done!"
Zhang Tianyi and others all picked up the wine bowls in front of them and drank down the wine in one gulp.
Since Luo Fengtang wants to get along with them as a Jianghu person, they don't need to be too polite.
"Brother Luo, you came up the mountain to see our brothers today. Do you have any advice?"
After drinking, the atmosphere gradually became warmer, but the leader Xiong Feiwu suddenly stood up, stared at Luo Fengtang's face, and spoke with a bit of edge.
"Old Xiong..." Zhang Tianyi frowned and wanted to persuade.
"It doesn't matter, what do you want to know, Brother Xiong? You can speak freely. There is nothing you can't say with me."
Luo Fengtang was still smiling. He made a gesture and interrupted Zhang Tianyi's words.
There are some things that cannot be avoided, and you still need to face them to solve the problem.
"Then I'm not welcome."
Xiong Feiwu was also very frank and immediately offered his hand.
"I want to know if the imperial court intends to recruit people first and then die."
Xiong Feiwu asked such a pointed question as soon as he opened his mouth.
After Zhang Tianyi and others listened, they all fell silent.
Xiong Feiwu's problem is very tricky, but it is also very realistic. The reality is that it is impossible for them not to face it.
Many legendary novels about the prosperity of the folk have written about the gathering of heroes in the past dynasties, and most of them could not escape the ending of a cunning rabbit who died and was cooked by a lackey.
The heroes are eager to recruit people into the imperial court, but they are worried that the imperial court will renege on their promise and catch them all in one fell swoop.
"Is it difficult to destroy Rongshan? I only need to lead a large army and block the key mountain roads leading out of Rongshan, so that Rongshan Village cannot obtain food. If Rongshan Village does not attack, it will be destroyed."
Luo Fengtang said calmly.
Rongshan Village has been able to exist for so long. In addition to the internal and external troubles of the imperial court, which did not have the energy to use important forces to deal with Rongshan Village, there is another important reason, and that is that the governor of Yizhou County, Wan Yiren, and the Huwei General Yang Huchen deliberately concealed the truth.
The truth made the upper echelons of the imperial court think that Rong Shanzhai was just a group of inconspicuous bandits.
"Brother Luo is right. Rongshan Village cannot stop the imperial court from blocking the grain road. If the imperial court frees up its hands, it can destroy Rongshan Village with a backhand."
"However, if the government forces the people to rebel, if the imperial court does not change and finds a way to keep the people alive, Rongshan Village will continue to suppress it."
Xiong Fei Martial Arts.
"The new Rongshan village is not yours."
"In short, the imperial court is also made up of people. There are good people and evil people. I can guarantee to the brothers on behalf of myself and the current emperor that I sincerely invite brothers to do great things, and there is no reason to harm them later."
"The emperor has no reason to harm you, nor does he consider you to be a big threat to the court."
Luo Fengtang said sincerely.
"Old Xiong, Brother Luo is telling the truth. I have read a lot of history books. Except for a few individual examples in the history books, most of the people who were killed by the court after being recruited had a way to kill themselves. There are also many examples of people who died.
"
Zhang Tianyi said.
"I think those storytellers all said that the imperial court was responsible for the harm." One of the leaders suddenly said.
Everyone looked at each other and laughed.
"What the storyteller says cannot be accurate."
Even Xiong Feiwu couldn't help but say.
"I will ask the imperial court to provide an independent establishment and establish the Rongshan Camp. From now on, only my military orders will be obeyed in the military camp, and other military orders can be ignored."
After Luo Fengtang and others laughed, he made his own conditions.
"What about you? If you have any ideas, tell Brother Luo." Zhang Tianyi looked around.
At this time, Xiong Feiwu had already sat down, and Luo Fengtang had given enough face by answering.
After all, Luo Fengtang's identity is here, and those reckless people like them are absolutely incomparable.
If in the past, it would be extremely difficult for them to meet Luo Fengtang from a distance, let alone talk to Luo Fengtang.
"I have an idea. I want to rebuild the Sihai Escort Bureau. I wonder if the court will allow it?"
Landau said curiously.
"As long as it's reasonable and reasonable, it's fine." Luo Fengtang said with a smile.
"I have a life case against me. I wonder how the court will handle it?"
Wu Tongtian Dao.
Many people turned their eyes over, waiting for Luo Fengtang's answer.
You must know that Wu Tongtian is not the only one who has been sued for his life. Among the heroes in these cottages, there are quite a few who are lawless and will kill people if they disagree.
"As long as the killing is not random but justified, I have a pardon in hand and can grant a pardon."
Luo Fengtang smiled slightly.
"It is impossible to kill people indiscriminately. The butcher I killed back then was a bully in the local town. He was a very evil man. His family had a brother who was working in the government office. If I didn't run away, I would die."
Wu Tongtian explained.
"Hu Han'er, the magistrate of that county, Yining County, whenever he arrests someone, he just throws them into a cage without interrogating them."
"Standing cage?"
A leader asked.
Many people present know what the standing cage is, but some people don't know what the standing cage is.
"What is a standing cage?"
"Standing cage is also called standing cannon."
"The vertical flail is an instrument of torture, also known as the standing cage."
"It is long in front, short in back, and the long end touches the ground."
"There is a hole in the cage to catch the prisoners' necks, and they stand day and night until they die. Some of them first place cushions under their feet, secure them around their necks, and then remove the cushions, leaving the prisoners hanging in the air and suffocated to death."
"It is often used to execute imperial prisoners. The prisoners can only stand but cannot sit. Some wardens lower the height of the prison by three inches, so that the prisoner cannot stand straight and can only bend his legs slightly to support himself. Some prisoners' families spend money to bribe the wardens.
Hire someone to hold the prisoner's buttocks on his back so that he can rest half-sitting so that he doesn't die too quickly."
"Usually, if you are put in a station cage, you will be almost dead within three to five days."
Wu Tongtian explained the meaning of "standing in the cage".
All the leaders changed their colors one after another.
Many of them kill people with just one knife, with a white knife going in and a red knife coming out. There are so many tricks.
Wu Tongtian would not go out of his way to explain this kind of thing to others before.
So many leaders heard about it for the first time.
"Hu Haner has been arrested."
Luo Fengtang only said one sentence to dispel Wu Tongtian's concerns.
"Magistrate Hu was arrested? What happened to him?"
Wu Tongtian was a little stunned. You must know that Hu Haner was a serious Jinshi. As a county magistrate, as long as he passed the exam at the end of the year, he would be promoted to a higher position soon.
Although he acted harshly, his official reputation was not bad, and the local gentry were not dissatisfied.
Because of this, Wu Tongcai ran away quickly. If he ran a step too late and was caught by the police officers, it would be difficult for him to leave the prison alive.
"Hu Haner committed corruption and perverted the law. The incident has already been discovered. Naturally, he will be sent to prison to await trial. If Brother Wu has any evidence, you can submit it to me."
Luo Fengtang said.
"Can we produce evidence of other people's crimes?" someone asked.
