Liao Weizhang was already angry and couldn't vent his anger, but he was even more angry when he saw Li Dan. With a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, there is no seriousness at all, thinking that this county is governed by such a lawless person, he can't wait to immediately behead Li Dan for questioning.

Half of the responsibility for the disaster in Luojia Village and several other villages is on this parent official, Liao Weizhang guessed that he must have been bought by the Fan family brothers, and he should have received a lot of benefits, so he would let those villagers fend for themselves, and even blocked the news.

If Li Dan had used medicine to save people from the beginning, how could those villages become living and dead villages like they are now. Such a person, let alone a parental official, he is not worthy of life at all.

According to Liao Weizhang's temper, he really wanted to pull Li Dan out and behead him immediately, but thinking that he was the only person who pointed out Fan Tie and Fan Qing, he had to hold back his anger.

Li Dan wanted to drag Liao Weizhang for a few days, and he could send someone to deal with the affairs of those villages, but Liao Weizhang told him clearly that it was impossible.

He was very scared in his heart, such a big official, he couldn't afford to be provoked by a small county, and he had to move if he didn't pay attention to his head.

Li Dan knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move, the only thing he thought of was that it was not good for him, it was those villages, in addition, his usual little things were not worth Jing Zhaoyin's personal trip.

However, this matter seems to be troublesome, but he who should be ruined has already been ruined, except for those who are half dead, there are no factors that are unfavorable to him.

Thinking of this, Li Dan was relieved again, and quickly went over the words that he had already conceived in his mind, and then said in a panic: "The official etiquette is not careful, and the adults are neglected." ”

Liao Weizhang laughed angrily, pretending to be stupid in front of him, this Li Dan really didn't know that his evil deeds had been exposed. He also didn't like to beat around the bush, and after laughing, his eyes became even colder, and he knocked on it violently, and said angrily: "The criminal Li Dan, you colluded with the Fan brothers to plot to kill the people, and the crime of reckless human life is unforgivable, can you be guilty?"

Li Dan was silently reciting the words in his heart, and at first glance, his whole body stiffened, his face was as white as ashes, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

"Your ---- and your lordship, Lord ----, the lower officials----- the lower officials don't know what crime they have committed. It took him a long time before he found his voice and cried out for injustice.

Liao Weizhang sneered: "The official doesn't shed tears when he sees the coffin, come on, give the official thirty boards first, and beat him until he says it." ”

The officials on both sides were stunned, and they didn't know how to react for a while, this change came too quickly, one moment they were still masters, and the next moment they were going to become prisoners?

It was not Liao Weizhang's style of doing things, but today he was so angry that his heart ached when he thought of those dying villagers.

Anyway, Li Dan's guy will definitely not be so easy to recruit, so he just took this opportunity to beat him up first to vent his anger.

"Haven't you made your words clear?" he scolded.

The officials were shocked, and two people quickly stepped forward, and pressed Li Dan to the ground without saying anything, and two more people brought the stool, and the four people pressed Li Dan on the stool and lay down, and then two more officials walked over with a board.

Everything was ready, they all looked at Liao Weizhang and waited for instructions, Liao Weizhang shouted "hit" loudly, and the board fell on Li Dan's ass with a snap.

Li Dan was in a hurry, there was only a thin pair of underwear under his outer pants, and now it was a cold winter, and every time the board fell, it hurt him as if he was going to lose half of his life.

He shouted that he was wronged and shouted to spare his life, but Liao Weizhang still couldn't feel angry, he only had the miserable appearance of those villagers in his mind, compared with dozens of lives, Li Dan suffered this crime less than one ten-thousandth.

After the thirty boards were played, Li Dan was dragged off the stool and lay on the ground, looking like he only had air in but no air out. But he can also carry it, and he hasn't fainted even after being beaten like this, he can only feel the severe pain clearly, and he is also the moment he is tortured.

He~ It's just thirty boards, Liao Weizhang was so moved, and he didn't give Li Dan a chance to breathe, and continued to interrogate: "The criminal Li Dan, can you plead guilty?"

Li Dan didn't even have the strength to cry, his face was on the ground and he choked up: "My lord, the lower official doesn't know what the crime is, please find out, the lower official is wronged." ”

"I still don't admit guilt, it seems that the thirty boards just now are too light. Come on, give this official another thirty boards. "Liao Weizhang is ruthless and wants to torture Li Dan, such a person, if he is directly beheaded, it is too cheap for him.

When Li Dan heard this, he turned his head in fright, stared straight at the "honest and honest" in front of him, and cried: "My lord, spare my life, even if the lower official is going to die, I beg the lower official to give me an understanding, and let the lower official be an understanding ghost." ”

I don't admit it, it seems that I really have confidence. At this time, it is impossible for Li Dan not to guess the purpose of his coming, but he still continues to pretend to be confused, and I am afraid that all the evidence has been destroyed. And those villagers are also on the verge of death, let alone testifying, and they don't know how many days they will live.

Li Dan thought that he could escape as long as he didn't open his mouth, but who was he Liao Weizhang. When he used to be the magistrate of the county, he was famous for his jealousy and hatred, if he was ruthless, the fierce man would not be able to stand it, not to mention Li Dan, who was pampered on weekdays.

"Well, if you don't admit it, the official will say it for you:

The profiteer Fan used the moldy rice as good rice and sold it to more than a dozen surrounding villages such as Luojia Village and Lijia Village, and the villagers ate the inferior rice, and the toxins accumulated in the body day by day, and finally they became ill one after another.

When the Fan brothers saw that the matter was about to be revealed, they promised you a lot of gold and silver, and ordered you to lock down all the villages where the disease occurred, and not to provide medicine, so that the villagers would fend for themselves.

You have been blinded by money, and you have forgotten that you are a parent official, and you have done something inferior to a beast. Under the pretext of the plague, you locked the villagers in the village, and now, there are hundreds of dead people in more than a dozen villages.

Li Dan, you colluded with profiteers to murder the people, and you still dare to say that you are not guilty?"

If it is said that Shicai still has half a life, after listening to Liao Weizhang's words, Li Dan was so frightened that he almost lost the other half of his life. Because what Liao Weizhang said, the score is exactly the same.

He didn't know about it at first, and even thought it was really the plague. It was after the outbreak of Lijiacun's illness that a businessman suddenly came to the yamen, promising himself countless gold and silver treasures, not to mention, the merchant also gave him an idea - to close the village.

The merchant did not tell him the truth, but gave him an analysis of what the consequences would be if there was a plague in the area under his jurisdiction as a parent official, and no matter what Li Dan thought, it would be a bad result.

Li Dan was not a good person in the first place, the merchant gave him so much gold and silver treasures, he did what the merchant ordered, and he could control the epidemic, and he didn't even need to alarm the prefect.

As for the truth, Li Dan only checked it a little and figured it out. However, it was even better for him.
