The magistrate said to Zhao Biao again: "Zhao Biao, tell the official everything you know, and you must not hide it in the slightest." ”

Zhao Biao nodded and said, "Yes, my lord." Here's the thing. I met Liu Dalang at my cousin's wedding, and Liu Dalang liked the fireworks place just like the grass people, and gradually we became good friends. often go in and out of the Qinglou gambling house together. Once, I met Wang Erguang in the gambling house, and I gambled with him for a few games, and I won some money. I know that Wang Erguang is the housekeeper of Ma Daguan. Who doesn't know Ma Daguan? He is the man of the hour in this Meizhou City. The grass people intend to make friends with Ma Daguan. ”

"This back and forth, I became familiar with Wang Erguang at the gaming table. In fact, the grass people didn't know at that time, it turned out that Wang Erguang deliberately wanted to get close to me. Because Liu Dalang and I are very close friends. Then I met the motor. He said that he wanted to make a bet with Liu Dalang. I said, that's easy, I'll arrange it. That Liu Dalang is also a good gambler. ”

I agreed, and when I went back, I told Liu Dalang. Liu Dalang was very bold and agreed at that time. The gambling game is located in Chunyan Building. But on the morning of the gamble, Wang Erguang took me to meet the motor. Let's talk about this gamble. At the gaming table, I was Liu Dalang's subordinate, and I was responsible for helping him test the dice. Ma Ma directly said that he wanted to deceive Liu Dalang, because he fell in love with the Liu family's property and Liu Dalang's wife. Ask me to help with this. ”

"I understood the meaning of the motor at that time, that is, to let me cheat when I checked the dice for Liu Dalang. I was a little reluctant. After all, Liu Dalang and I are good friends. Later, Wang Erguang took out a hundred taels of silver, saying that it was my hard-earned money. I'm ashamed to say that when I look at the silver, I feel a little tempted. Because I am a landed talent, there is no hope of fame, life is helpless, and I can't even take care of my wife and children in my hometown. Truth be told, the temptation of this silver is still very great for me. ”

"But I still didn't agree, because Liu Dalang also helped me from time to time, and I was very grateful to Liu Dalang in my heart. Later, Wang Erguang told me that I had committed adultery with my cousin. I was scared at the time, but I didn't expect them to take my handle. I thought no one knew about my cousin, but I didn't expect to let them know. With this threat, I had to agree. In addition, my cousin has always wanted to elope with me, so she has been prepared for this for a long time, and has scavenged a lot of money at home, adding up to more than 3,000 yuan. ”

Wang Erguang also said that as long as I do what they want, not only will I get this hard-earned money, but after the Liu family is defeated, I will be able to be with my cousin in the name of righteousness. So I was tempted. Next, I did as they had arranged. When I checked the dice at the table, I deliberately said that the lead dice was fine. As a result, after one night, Liu Dalang lost all his family property, and he also owed hundreds of dollars to the motor. That's the way things are. ”

Lord Zhixian nodded, and asked Ma Ma again: "Can you admit what Zhao Biao said?" ”

The motor shook his head and said, "Xiaomin doesn't admit it. ”

"Tell me about it." Zhixian said.

"My lord, Zhao Biao is a bloody squirting person, what kind of lead dice is filled with lead, it is all made up by him out of thin air. Xiaomin never did this at all. Liu Dalang lost his family property to me, then I was lucky. Please be aware of it. The motor denied it.

The magistrate was silent for a moment, looked at the motor intently and said, "Motor, if you recruit from the truth, the county may be able to sentence you." ”

The motor looked around, a little hesitant. But in the end, he decided not to admit it. Because once it is admitted, this prison meal is settled. This is undoubtedly unacceptable for a person who is pampered all day.

"Back to my lord, Xiaomin won't admit what he hasn't done." Said the motor.

Zhixian nodded, and asked Wang Erguang again: "Wang Erguang, Zhao Biao mentioned you, what do you say?" ”

"Me?" Wang Erguang pointed to the tip of his nose in fear, and then looked at the motor next to him, and the motor was making his eyes color. Looking at Liu Yong, who was watching coldly, his heart was a little hairy.

"Yes, it's you, say it." Zhixian said. &

Please note: Please pay attention to the rest of your eyes for a long time. Net Recommendation:

"I, I, what Zhao Biao said, what he said is all a lie." In the end, Wang Erguang still stood on the side of his master. After all, he is also an accomplice and cannot admit it.

"You both think what Zhao Biao said is a lie, don't you?" The magistrate asked.

"Yes."

The two replied in unison.

Zhixian nodded, and asked Zhao Biao again: "Ma Ma and Wang Erguang don't admit what you said, do you have any other evidence?" ”

"Yes." Zhao Biao said without thinking.

"Take it out." Zhixian said.

Zhao Biao took out four dices from his arms and presented them to the officials. The official handed it to the magistrate and looked at it.

"My lord, these four dice are the same dice that night. I bookmarked it afterwards. Zhao Biao said.

Zhixian picked one up and rolled it on the table a few times, and sure enough, it was filled with lead. Then he asked the official to show it to the motor and Wang Erguang, and the two changed color slightly, but shook their heads and said that they had never seen this dice.

Ma Ma and Wang Erguang denied Zhao Biao's words and these four dice in unison, putting the case in an anxious situation.

"Lord Zhixian, you are a little too gentle in trying the case, aren't you?" Liu Yong said with a smile.

Zhixian's face changed slightly, although he understood the meaning of Liu Yong's words, he still asked, "What about what about Liu Daguan's opinion?" ”

Liu Yong also knew that the county was interested in protecting the motor, so he smiled and said: "According to Zhao Biao, that Wang Erguang is also one of the accomplices. Then please find a way to get him to speak, right? ”

The magistrate pretended to be confused and asked rhetorically, "But he has already spoken?" ”

"My lord, let him speak the truth." Liu Yong said.

"Liu Daguan, the lower officials still don't understand." The magistrate continued to pretend to be confused.

"Then let me remind you, have all the torture instruments in your hall been cooled?" Liu Yong sneered.

The magistrate rolled his eyes and asked, "Does Liu Daguan mean to torture the suspect?" ”

"If not, can the suspect tell the truth?" Liu Yong said with a smile. His smile was faint, and he looked like he was indisputable, but he didn't give in.

"Liu Daguan, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. If these two people didn't lie, wouldn't they have wrongly beaten the good guys? Zhixian said with a smile.

"Do you really think these two are good people?" Liu Yong asked rhetorically.

"Eh, this person can't be disguised!" Zhixian said with a smile.

"So, is the magistrate unwilling to use torture?" Liu Yong asked with a smile, looking at the motor and Wang Erguang.

When the two men heard that they were going to be tortured, they were already trembling with fear.

"It's not that the official is unwilling to use the punishment, but it's just that the execution of the suspect without conclusive evidence is out of order." Zhixian said.

Liu Yong nodded. After a moment of silence, he asked, "My lord, if there is conclusive evidence that the suspect is not recruited, what should I do?" ”

The magistrate said without thinking: "That is naturally going to be tortured." ”

"What punishment?" Liu Yong asked.

"Fifty boards." The county replied.

"Fifty boards? It's not good, you have to slap your mouth fifty! ”

Liu Yong smiled slightly.
