Chapter 413: Bullying
Of course, Pu Shang, who was about to be tortured, was full of horror.
He hadn't seen the torture instrument before, and he didn't even have room for imagination, so naturally he wouldn't be afraid.
But at this time, the torture instrument was placed in front of him, imagining that it would not be long before the torture tool was about to be added to his body, and Pu Shang was so frightened that he trembled.
It's a pity, it's useless, even if he trembles?
The two officials still ruthlessly tied him to the pillar, of course, in the eyes of the officials, they were not ruthless, but let the criminal get the punishment he deserved.
Drinking the tea brought by Chen Guangrong, Gongsun Jian looked at Pu Shang who was tied up, and asked softly, "Pu Shang, do you recruit or not?" ”
"My lord, I'll recruit you." That Pu Shang hurriedly said.
After all, if he used the torture to recruit again, it would be in vain, so when he saw Gongsun Jian asking himself at this time, of course he would have recruited earlier.
"Execution!" It's a pity that what Pu Shang never expected was that when he heard that he was going to recruit, Gongsun Jian would actually torture himself.
Seeing this, Pu Shang thought that Gongsun Jian didn't hear clearly, so he hurriedly said, "My lord, I recruited, recruited." You must not use torture. ”
It's a pity that whether it is Gongsun Jian or others, when they heard this Pu Shang's words begging for mercy, they didn't stop at all and continued to be punished.
After all, treating this kind of murderer naturally makes him suffer something.
Besides, if this Pu Shang repents and doesn't say anything after a while, they will also have to be tortured. So, why not just do it in one step?
With Pu Shang's terrible shouts, this torture instrument process was finally used up.
Seeing this, although he had been scattered, Pu Shang still cheered up and shouted at Gongsun Jian: "My lord, I recruited it, you can spare me." ”
Pu Shang, who had tasted the taste of torture tools, never wanted to try it again.
Therefore, he hurriedly begged Gongsun Jian for mercy, hoping that he would not be tortured again.
After all, the official who had tortured him just now was walking towards him with another torture instrument with a sinister smile on his face.
Fortunately, his shouting this time finally worked, and Gongsun Jian seemed to have just heard it, and said with some doubts: "Are you sure you have made a move?" ”
"Sure, sure, my lord, I, the little one will never hide it this time." Pu Shang, who was tied up over there, looked at the officials who were getting closer and closer, and hurriedly cried.
At this time, he didn't even dare to use my self-title.
"In that case, Deacon Chen, prepare a pen and paper record." Nodding, Gongsun Jian looked at Chen Guangrong.
Chen Guangrong had been prepared for this for a long time, and he picked up the pen and paper when Gongsun Jian had just ordered him.
Seeing this, Pu Shang, who was tied up over there, did not dare to slack off, he was afraid that if he hesitated a little, the official holding the torture instrument next to him would come to him.
In fact, Pu Shang does hide things, but unfortunately, unlike the big things that Gongsun Jian does, Pu Shang hides a thing that looks small to them, but looks big to Pu Shang himself.
He suspected that he was being hated, and that it was very likely that none of his sons were his.
Hearing this answer, Gongsun Jian's eyes lit up, and he instantly became interested, and hurriedly asked, "The object of your suspicion won't be Lu Chen, right?" ”
After all, there must be a reason for killing, and the explanation given in Lu Chen's house before was just a simple quarrel.
But it is certainly not so simple to kill the killer.
At that time, Gongsun Jian suspected that this Pu Shang had something to hide, but he didn't expect that it was a hat at all.
Over there, hearing Gongsun Jian's words, Pu Shanggang wanted to stand up angrily, but found that he was tied up, and the person in front of him was still the one in charge of his life and death, so he could only hum angrily.
Seeing this, Gongsun Jian nodded silently, and then asked a very critical question.
"Do you think Lu Chen put a hat on you, is there any evidence?" Gongsun Jian asked curiously.
Because if Lu Chen was wronged, he would die in vain. But if Lu Chen hadn't been wronged, Gongsun Jian would definitely publicize the matter and let others know that although Pu Shang had to be punished for killing someone, there was indeed a reason for it.
At the very least, it can make Puchamp's reputation a little better.
However, if Lu Chen was wronged, then Gongsun Jian would also publicize it, so that everyone could understand that Pu Shang was punished for killing people, and he deserved it.
In short, no matter whether Lu Chen was wronged or not, then Gongsun Jian would publicize the matter.
This can be regarded as a little punishment for Pu Shang's uncooperation just now.
"Evidence? Does this need proof? That's what many people said, even the adulteress. Pu Shang shouted with some excitement.
At this time, he directly forgot about his humility, and it seemed that he was really angry.
Stretched out his hand and pressed down several officials over there who wanted to teach Pu Shang a lesson, but Gongsun Jian didn't care about his attitude.
Smiling slightly, Gongsun Jian opened his mouth and asked, "Do you know why I arrested you?" ”
"Because I killed someone!" Rolling his eyes, Pu Shang looked at Gongsun Jian like a fool.
"You're wrong, I didn't arrest you because you killed." Gongsun Jian smiled and said something that surprised Pu Shang.
"No way, how could you possibly arrest me if I didn't kill someone?" Pu Shang asked in disbelief.
"You killed people because of the cause, but I have your evidence in my hand, so I arrested you." Smiling slightly, Gongsun Jian said an answer that seemed like nonsense in Pu Shang.
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Pu Shang said with a little anger.
He felt that Gongsun Jian was playing tricks on himself.
Without evidence, of course Gongsun Jian would not be able to catch himself.
Suddenly, Pu Shang was stunned and looked at Gongsun Jian in disbelief.
"Is this fake?"
"How can I be sure, I don't have any evidence in my hands." Shrugging his shoulders, Gongsun Jian replied indifferently.
"It can't be!" Pu Shang shook his head fiercely, and said angrily to Gongsun Jian.
"How could it be?" Smiling slightly, Gongsun Jian said with some determination.
"My lord, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing?" Chen Guangrong on the side finally couldn't help the curiosity in his heart and boldly asked the question in his heart.
In fact, if he didn't ask, Gu Qing beside him would definitely speak.
Now it seems that Gu Qing's concentration is much stronger than Chen Guangrong's.
"There is no dumb riddle, I was telling this Pu Shang just now, if there is no evidence, it is very likely that Lu Chen was wronged." Shaking his head slightly, Gongsun Jian glanced at Pu Shang.
Because at this time, Gongsun Jian already understood that Lu Chen was probably wronged.
"Wronged?"
Chen Guangrong glanced at Pu Shang, who was also in disbelief, with some disbelief.
Originally, he listened to Pu Shang's words just now, and he felt sorry for Pu Shang in his heart.
But now that he heard Gongsun Jian say that Lu Chen was likely to be wronged, he naturally couldn't believe it.
After all, if Lu Chen was wronged, then he wouldn't have died in vain.
Moreover, when inquiring about Pu Shang's family, he also heard that Lu Chen had made a will, saying that he would leave all his family property to Pu Shang's son Pu Qi.
Just now, he thought that this Pu Qi was Lu Chen's own son, so he did this, but now he heard Gongsun say so. He guessed that maybe Lu Chen was not going to get married and have children in the future.
That's why I recognized Puqi as my son, thinking that when I was old in the future, I would be raised by Puqi. That's why he made a will to leave the family property to Puqi.
Although it was said that the will was made quite early, this just shows Lu Chen's determination.
If all this is a misunderstanding now, then Lu Chen is really wronged.
Not only was he killed by his good brother, but he was also mistaken for someone who spied on his sister-in-law.
Fortunately, Gongsun Jian asked like this, otherwise Lu Chen would not be blind under Jiuquan!
Gongsun Jian on the other side naturally didn't know that Chen Guangrong had thought about so many things at such an instant, and he couldn't believe it when he heard Chen Guangrong's face.
just smiled and said: "It may be wronged, the matter has not been clarified, and you can't jump to conclusions." ”
Who knew that as soon as Gongsun Jian finished speaking, before Chen Guangrong could answer, Pu Shang, who was tied up over there, shouted with some excitement: "Yes, yes, the matter hasn't been clarified yet, he just has... It's just that you might be wronged. ”
Perhaps because he was too excited, Pu Shang almost got stuck when he was talking.
"My lord, you don't need to check this kind of thing, it doesn't seem to have any big effect?" Chen Guangrong glanced at Pu Shang over there and said deliberately.
As soon as these words came out, Gongsun Jian instantly understood that he was playing tricks on Pu Shang over there.
After all, Chen Guangrong's curiosity was on par with Gu Qing.
Therefore, he pretended to hesitate for a while and said, "In that case, then forget it, and don't care about our affairs anyway." ”
Immediately, he looked at the people in the torture room, smiled slightly, and said: "All the brothers have worked hard, and when they are escorted to the prison in the west of the city, they should be released when they come back." ”
"Yes, my lord." Everyone hurriedly clenched their fists and received their orders, preparing to send Pu Shang to the prison in the west of the city.
Sure enough, as Gongsun Jian expected, just as everyone was about to pack up and escort Pu Shang to the prison in the west of the city, Pu Shang over there hurriedly shouted at Gongsun Jian's back: "My lord, wait a minute!" ”
"Something?"
Gongsun Jian looked at Pu Shang, who was about to be taken to the prison in the west of the city, with a puzzled face.
"My lord, can you help me with something?"
Pu Shang said excitedly, if this matter is not resolved, he will not be willing to die even if he dies!
"Who are you?"
After sneering several times in succession, Gongsun Jian pretended to be funny at Pu Shang's request.
"I'm a prisoner!"
Hearing Gongsun Jian's words, Pu Shang was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he was just a prisoner.
"You still know who you are!"
After sneering twice, Gongsun Jian ignored him and continued to turn his head to walk out of the torture room.
"My lord, my lord, I beg you, you can help me."
Seeing Gongsun Jian leaving, Pu Shang behind him hurriedly continued to shout heartbreakingly.
"I, why should I help you?" Gongsun Jian asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Pu Shang was stunned.
That's right! Why did Gongsun Jian help him?
He is a prisoner, what confidence does he have to let a court official from the sixth rank to do things for him?
However, just when Pu Shang was flustered, Gongsun Jian smiled and said: "I see that you are very sad, today I will be merciful and help you, what to say." ”
Pu Shang over there didn't expect things to turn around at all, and Gongsun Jian actually agreed.
Ignoring the excitement in his heart, Pu Shang was very afraid that Gongsun Jian would take back his words, so he hurriedly said: "My lord, I want to ask you to help me find out if Lu Chen is having an affair with my wife." ”
As soon as these words came out, Gongsun Jian's face suddenly changed, and he frowned and said, "This official is here to handle the case, not to check on private matters for you." ”
He already knew what this Pu Shang was going to ask him to do, and the reason why he said this was not only because it was a lesson for him, but also because Gongsun Jian didn't want to check it himself, after all, Gongsun Jian really didn't have any motivation for this kind of hard work that didn't benefit him.
Pu Shang didn't expect Gongsun Jian to refuse, but when he thought that Gongsun Jian, a master from the sixth grade, really shouldn't check such a bad thing for him, his heart suddenly sank, and his eyes dimmed.
"Look at you, it's pitiful, so be it," Gongsun Jian pretended to hesitate a little on his face, and then said, "You better ask Deacon Chen to help you find someone to check." ”
