Chapter 258: Confession
Now, the boss of the Wang family has long had no way out. If he always insists that this case is framed, he may still be able to usher in a glimmer of life, otherwise there is only a dead end.
Thinking of this, the boss of the Wang family turned his heart sideways, and immediately kowtowed and shouted: "My lord, how can the grass people confess what they have never done?" My lord, you are a good official who knows everything, and you must make decisions for the grass people. The grass people were wronged, that is, they were framed by the two of them. ”
Seeing that the boss of the Wang family was still stubborn when he died, Ma Laosan immediately scolded viciously: "Phew, you are black-hearted." The bad thing happened, and he even thought about pulling someone else's back, which was really shameless. ”
Before the words fell, the second child of the Wang family immediately said with a sad face: "Big brother, I persuaded you at the beginning, but you just couldn't listen." Up to now, your evil deeds have been seen through by adults, and you are still unrepentant. Big brother, for the sake of our brother's affection, listen to my advice, don't continue to be obsessed. ”
Hearing this, the eyes of the boss of the Wang family revealed two fierce lights. If it weren't for the fact that he had just accused the second child of the Wang family and the third child of the Ma family of joining forces, he would definitely directly reveal the true face of the second child of the Wang family now.
Holding back the anger in his heart, the boss of the Wang family said with a resolute face: "Don't continue to talk flatteringly, I won't fall for you anyway." In your hands, I have planted it once, and there will never be a second time. No matter what you say, I won't believe it easily. ”
Seeing that the eldest of the Wang family did not have the slightest intention of admitting his guilt, the second eldest of the Wang family was anxious. Then he persuaded him: "Big brother, a man dares to act, since you have done it, what dare you not admit it." ”
When the boss of the Wang family heard this, he couldn't help sneering, and said sarcastically: "Before talking about others, please take a look in the mirror to see your true face." If you admit all the things you've done, I'll consider doing the same. Do you dare? Hehe. It's not that I look down on you, it's that you don't have the guts. ”
saw that the brothers of the Wang family had an infighting. Ma Laosan immediately gloated beside him and said, "Just you two brothers." Not a good thing. This time the sale of counterfeit drugs, which of the two of you was not involved? ”
After watching the excitement for a while, and seeing that the three of them had a tendency to intensify, Liu Zhixian slapped the startled wood again. Then he shouted coldly: "Shut up for me." This is the public court. Is it a place where you can make a noise as you please? If you have a question, the county will ask, so you don't need to be noisy here. ”
Seeing that he was angry, the three people in the hall immediately fell silent. One by one, they knelt in the public court. Waiting for Liu Zhixian to further fall.
Seeing that the three of them were quiet, Liu Zhixian asked with a serious face: "Boss of the Wang family, this county will ask you for the last time." Listen, it's the last time I ask you, and there's no second time. You honestly confess, are you the mastermind of the case of selling counterfeit drugs? If you can confess, this county may be able to save you from suffering. ”
In the face of Liu Zhixian's real ultimatum, the boss of the Wang family hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and insisted: "My lord, the grass people are wronged. The grass people have always been law-abiding and have never sold counterfeit medicines. ”
Hearing this, Liu Zhixian's face couldn't help but turn cold, and he immediately instructed the officials around him: "Come on, the boss of the Wang family will not repent, and give me a hard beating of twenty boards." In the face of such ironclad evidence, I still want to deny it, thinking that this county is so foolish? Such a bold assault on the people, not to fight is not enough to anger the people. ”
After receiving Liu Zhixian's order, the officials rushed up and dragged the boss of the Wang family down cleanly. After a while, the sound of sticks hitting the flesh and skin sounded in everyone's ears.
Listening to the dull beatings one after another, the second child of the Wang family felt a chill in his heart. He was terrified, for fear that the counterfeit drug case would be exposed and he would be involved. He lived so long that he had never been beaten with the sticks of the servants. I heard that the stick of the official is very powerful, and he can break the skin of a person in a few strokes, and he doesn't want to enjoy such treatment.
Feeling the frightened emotions of the second child of the Wang family around him, Ma Laosan's eyes revealed a look of schadenfreude. Let the boss of the Wang family earn more than him, and he deserves to be beaten by the officials.
At first, all they could hear was the sound of sticks hitting the flesh. It didn't take long for the dull thump sound to be mixed with a muffled grunt, and a sense of forbearance could be clearly heard. From this forbearance of the muffled snort, it can be seen that the boss of the Wang family should be determined not to admit his guilt.
It's a pity that the officials have Liu Zhixian's secret instructions, so they won't let the boss of the Wang family achieve this goal. Seeing that the boss of the Wang family could still bear it, they immediately increased their efforts to hit the board.
As an experienced servant, he will naturally not let others notice his actions and feet in secret. To outsiders, the board is just playing slower and slower, and there is no other change. The problem is that the boss of the Wang family, who is being beaten, is miserable, and the strength of each board has increased a lot compared to before, making it more and more difficult for him to endure.
After being beaten more than a dozen boards, the boss of the Wang family finally couldn't hold back and exhaled in pain. This sound was like a flood bursting the embankment, and it completely shattered his previous forbearance into a pile of slag in one fell swoop.
From this time on, the boss of the Wang family finally threw away his previous forbearance and began to vent the pain in his body with a roar. To be honest, he wasn't the one who could tolerate the pain in the first place. At the beginning, he could still grit his teeth with the breath in his heart. The problem was that after the officials stepped up their efforts, the pain finally broke through the limits of his patience.
Tormented by the pain in his body, the boss of the Wang family had already left everything he had insisted on by gritting his teeth at this time. What he wanted to do most now was to get rid of the pain in his body, and anything else seemed to be no longer important.
After a while, the twenty boards of the Wang family's boss were finally beaten. At this time, he had been beaten to death, and the beaten place on his body was even more fleshy. After he was dragged to the court, he fell directly to the ground. Looking at his miserable appearance now, where is there still the posture of resisting death before.
Seeing the appearance of the eldest of the Wang family, the second eldest of the Wang family couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He prayed silently in his heart, praying that Heaven would bless him through this catastrophe.
Glancing at the boss of the Wang family lying on his stomach under the hall with disdain, Liu Zhixian said with a cold face: "The boss of the Wang family, you have been beaten with twenty boards, and you can now be regarded as having learned the power of Wang Fa." This county asks you, is you the mastermind behind the case of selling counterfeit drugs? ”
was beaten half to death, and the boss of the Wang family had already left a shadow in his heart. He would rather be guillotined than be dragged down and beaten again.
Thinking of this, the boss of the Wang family immediately cheered up, raised his head and replied with a sincere and frightened face: "My lord, the grass people have been convicted. As you said before, this case of counterfeit medicine was planned by the grass people. My lord, the grass people have confessed their crimes, don't they have to be punished anymore? Just now, the grass people have gone to half a life, and they really can't stand the second time. ”
Hearing his last sentence, Liu Zhixian was amused, but he still replied with a straight face: "Since you have confessed, there is naturally no need to continue the punishment." ”
Seeing that the pain of skin and flesh was finally relieved, the boss of the Wang family couldn't help but lift his spirits, and his body suddenly had strength. His eyes turned around the court, and finally fixed on the second child of the Wang family and the third child of the Ma family. The reason why he fell to the point of being beaten on the board is due to the fact that both of them contributed a lot.
For Ma Laosan, the boss of the Wang family doesn't know much, so there is no good way to retaliate. In desperation, he had no choice but to suppress his hatred in his heart first, waiting for the opportunity to be ashamed in the future.
Unlike Ma Laosan, the second child of the Wang family was not so lucky. In this counterfeit drug case, he participated in the whole process, and he grabbed a lot of handles. Since he dared to frame his own brother, the old man of the Wang family would not bear this breath. He is a person who will repay him, and it is impossible to watch the second child of the Wang family get away with it.
Glaring at the second child of the Wang family fiercely, the eldest of the Wang family raised his head and said with a weak face: "My lord, the grass people have a case to report, and I hope the adults will find out." ”
Hearing him say this, Liu Zhixian immediately said with an interesting face: "It's a good thing to report a case that you want to report." Since you have this heart, how can this county not be perfected? If there's anything to report, just say it. As long as it violates the royal law, the county will investigate it. ”
Throwing a resentful look at the second elder of the Wang family, the eldest of the Wang family said with a resolute face: "My lord, my second brother is an accomplice in this case. From planning to implementation, he was involved in the process of selling counterfeit drugs. ”
Hearing him say this, the second child of the Wang family immediately kowtowed to Liu Zhixian in the court, and said with great remorse: "My lord, the eldest brother is deliberately framing the grass people to take revenge for what happened just now. Even if there is a mistake, the grass people are only guilty of knowing and not reporting it. So far, the grass people have nothing to say, and they are willing to be punished for not reporting what they know. ”
Hearing his words, Liu Zhixian couldn't help nodding secretly in his heart. The second child of the Wang family responded very effectively this time, not only did not fall into the quagmire of entanglement with the boss of the Wang family, but also admitted the crime of not reporting it, diverting everyone's attention.
To be honest, the crime of knowingly failing to report is not light, but at least it is much better than being an accomplice. Coupled with his previous performance of taking the initiative to expose the boss of the Wang family, such a crime seems more and more insignificant. He was indeed at fault for not reporting it, but he has since made up for it with practical actions.
For the sake of his good face in taking the initiative to expose the boss of the Wang family and admitting his guilt, Liu Zhixian will not punish him too harshly this time. Even if he is not immune to the pain of flesh and blood, at least he will not be sent to prison. (To be continued......)
