Not only did he pour cold water on everyone to make them sober up, but he also took the whip with his own hands and planned to use it himself.
The whip was flicked twice in the air first. Zhang Heming frowned slightly, "The sound of this whip sounds a bit wrong."
The officer on the side immediately understood and hurriedly came forward and explained loudly, "Sir, this whip used to often see blood. It is nourished and soaked in blood and water. It is naturally strong and tough. It can be whipped vigorously and has a loud sound. It has not been used much recently. , the blood on it is a little dry, and naturally it looks a little uncomfortable, but it doesn’t matter, just see more blood this time, that’s all.”
"The whipping on the other end was not smooth either." Zhang Heming was not satisfied with this answer. He thought for a moment and said, "Since there is no blood, let's soak it in salt water first. When you whip it like this, you will see more blood. It’s also smoother and louder.”
The sound of the whipping was louder, and the screams of the person being whipped were even louder.
"Your Excellency is wise!" Upon hearing this, the Yamen hurriedly prepared a wooden basin and salt water, and soaked the whip in it.
Jiang Yi and the others were still lying upright on the stools, unable to move their heads. They saw that the whips were soaked in a wooden basin filled with salt water. Even when they pressed down the whips, the salt water came out, and they suddenly felt all over their bodies. It all hurts.
"It's too late for you to tell the truth now. It's okay if you don't. There are many torture instruments in the torture room, so it doesn't matter if we try them all one by one."
Zhang Heming leisurely picked up a cup of tea, "I have also ordered the doctor to wait outside, so that none of you will die or faint from this."
If you can't even faint, don't you have to bear all this forcefully?
Just thinking about it makes me feel like I might as well just die!
Everyone's hair stood on end, and they almost forgot to breathe. After a moment, they all struggled to get up from the bench in unison, and they all knelt in front of Zhang Heming, scrambling to explain the cause and effect of the incident.
Zhang Heming listened for a long time and finally understood the whole thing.
Needless to say, Du Ruian had read a few books, and since he was a child, he always liked to point out everything. He also criticized Wufu Workshop, and felt that there were not enough good things done.
On the other hand, things here in Jiang Yihe are very complicated.
Because Xia Mingyue tried to sell her daughter to someone else as a concubine, she was secretly stopped by Xia Mingyue to no avail, and she lost some money. In addition, after the incident was exposed, her reputation was ruined and she lost her qualifications for the scientific examination. All the resentment was placed on Xia Mingyue. on the head.
He came to Changzhou Fucheng this time just to find a chance to take revenge. He happened to meet Du Ruian who was dissatisfied with Wufu Workshop, so he tried to win over Du Ruian and let him use him.
Last night, they all gathered together to discuss how to deal with Xia Mingyue and Wufu Workshop. After a night of discussion, they finally decided on a plan of action.
As for Wufu Workshop, they planned to seek an explanation from Wufu Workshop on the grounds that they fell into a coma after eating the tofu dregs sold by Wufu Workshop, in order to tarnish its reputation.
As for Xia Mingyue, they are preparing to spread the news, saying that Xia Mingyue used the excuse of organizing the Wufu Workshop to enrich her own pockets. Moreover, Xia Mingyue looked dignified and virtuous on the surface, but in fact she was filthy in her heart and was entangled with many men. ……
The more Zhang Heming listened, the tighter his brows became.
The rumor that Wufu Workshop's tofu dregs are improper is quite easy to solve. We invite a doctor to investigate, and many people who are accustomed to buying tofu dregs every day testify that there is nothing wrong, and the reputation can naturally be cleared.
But spreading rumors about Xia Mingyue's corruption and adultery... this kind of thing is the most difficult to deal with.
People who hear such rumors will not subconsciously ask the person who told these rumors what evidence they have. Instead, they will subconsciously ask the person caught in the rumor for evidence of innocence.
These two things are the most difficult to prove by oneself, and even if many people come forward to testify and prove that Xia Mingyue does not have these two things, when someone accidentally mentions them in the future, they will still say that it is a perfect thing if a fly does not bite. Damn, this thing probably has some shadow or something.
It's like a drop of ink dripping into a bowl of clear water. No matter how you try to remedy it, the water will never be as clear as it was at the beginning.
Jiang Yihe and others spread rumors and slander in this way, which can be said to be driving Xia Mingyue to death!
Not to mention that Xia Mingyue has done a lot for the entire Changzhou City. Even an ordinary woman must uphold justice for her and severely punish these evil people who have evil intentions and intend to spread rumors and cause trouble!
Since these few people still have the energy to scold and beat each other when they get to the execution room of the government office, it means that there is no place for them to use their strong energy. Then they go to work as laborers to dig wells and build river embankments, and never come back again in their lifetime!
When everyone learned that they had to work hard for a lifetime, they were so heartbroken that they almost fainted. However, Jiang Yihe struggled and shouted, "Sir, I am the father of Jiang Zhuguo, the manager of Xia Ji. Please, sir." Allow Xiaomin to meet Jiang Zhuguo one last time!”
As long as he can still see Jiang Zhuguo, he will be confident that with his sharp tongue, he can persuade Jiang Zhuguo to pay to get him out of here!
And as long as Jiang Zhuguo opens his mouth, Xia Mingyue will definitely nod because of his love for Jiang Zhuguo. Then Zhang Heming will naturally look at Xia Mingyue's face and no longer hold him responsible.
Therefore, he must meet Jiang Zhuguo.
Jiang Zhuguo's father?
Zhang Heming was suddenly startled.
He also has some contacts with Jiang Zhuguo, and knows that Jiang Zhuguo is capable and sensible, and is the son of a daughter second only to Xia Mingyue. He also has good conduct and kind-heartedness, and is highly praised by Xia Ji.
Jiang Zhuguo has a father like Jiang Yihe?
If so, the daughter Jiang Yihe mentioned just now, who was rescued by Xia Mingyue after trying to sell her to others as a concubine, was Jiang Zhuguo.
It's no wonder that Jiang Zhuguo worked hard in Xia Ji and never wavered due to anything or any reason.
Zhang Heming finally understood this, and after thinking for a moment, he finally sent someone to inform Jiang Zhuguo.
It took time for the government officials to come and go, so Jiang Yihe was naturally not taken to prison immediately.
During the waiting period, Jiang Yihe was uneasy, but he kept comforting himself.
After all, he is Jiang Zhuguo's biological father. Jiang Zhuguo is kind-hearted and cares about family ties, so he will not sit idly by. Although he did want to sell Jiang Zhuguo at that time, that was all many years ago. Guo has almost forgotten...
Waiting left and right, until the sun rose in the sky, Jiang Yihe finally waited for the return of the Yamen.
After the Yamen glanced at Jiang Yihe, he shouted to Zhang He loudly, "Sir, Mrs. Jiang said that she had broken off the relationship with Jiang Yihe many years ago, and Jiang Yihe had also signed a divorce letter. Everyone can testify, therefore, Mrs. Jiang has no father or mother." (End of Chapter)
