Wang Zhong said to the county magistrate, "I don't know where you got this box from. It's not mine anyway. Love whoever it is. ”

The county magistrate felt that Wang Zhong's words were full of sarcasm for him, and he was furious, and ran to Wang Zhong and kicked Wang Zhong down. Although the county official is not a martial arts master, he is obese, so his kick against Wang Zhong can also make Wang Zhong hurt for a long time. After kicking out, he said to Wang Zhong: "The evidence is ironclad, how can you deny it." ”

Lao Wang cried and said to the county magistrate: "My son will not kill people, and he will not use poison." I thought someone had walked into my house. ”

The county magistrate asked Lao Wang: "Then who likes to walk into your house so much?" ”

Lao Wang said to the county magistrate: "I don't know. Usually very few people come to my house to play. Unless it's a doctor. ”

The county magistrate said to Wang Zhong again: "Why did this medicine box appear in your house, why didn't it appear in my house?" So many poisons are worth a lot of money even if they are sold. ”

Wang Zhong said to the county magistrate: "Obviously, someone is trying to frame me. These things were put in my house beforehand. ”

The county magistrate asked Wang Zhong again: "Then who has a deep grudge against you and wants to frame you?" ”

Wang Zhong searched hard in his mind, usually he was quite kind with others, as long as he met someone he knew, he would say hello. Even people who are not so good live their own lives, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, and they do not offend each other. So he said to the county magistrate, "I have no enmity with others, and I have never quarreled with others." ”

The county magistrate asked Wang Zhong in a shy, "Have you ever dug up someone else's ancestral grave?" ”

Wang Zhong said to the county official, "No. I have never dug a grave in my life except for digging herbs, and I dare not touch other people's things. ”

The county magistrate asked Wang Zhong again: "Then have you ever destroyed other people's families and caused other family members to quarrel all day long?" ”

Wang Zhong said to the county official, "No. I usually see others arguing, and I always help persuade them. ”

The county magistrate asked Wang Zhong again: "Then have you ever owed someone money and not paid it back, or did you forget to pay it back?" ”

Wang Zhong said to the county official, "No. How could I owe money to someone else. I usually don't charge money for medical treatment. ”

The county magistrate suddenly shouted at Wang Zhong: "You yourself can't prove who wants to harm you, I don't believe it, those poisons will fall from the sky and fall into your house." Liu Dachai's mother has said, just you give Liu Dachai to eat, and now they are poisoned, who else but you. ”

Wang Zhong said to the county magistrate again: "You can't say that. It wasn't like Liu Dachai could survive just by taking my medicine. Maybe there was a vicious villain who poisoned Liu Dachai's meal. ”

The county magistrate also summoned Liu Dachai's mother to come over for questioning, asking her if Liu Dachai usually had a grudge against others?

Liu Dachai's mother said: "My son has only dealt with Chai all his life, how can he have enmity with others. The person who poisoned my son was either Wang Zhong or my daughter-in-law. It is better that both of them are dead, and my son's spirit in heaven may rest in peace. ”

The county magistrate said to Wang Zhong: "Now that there are human and material evidence, can you plead guilty?" ”

Wang Zhong said to the county magistrate: "I didn't poison people. I can't plead guilty. ”

The county magistrate was furious, and as soon as he was shocked, he asked the officials to beat Wang Zhong until he thought so. So, a group of officials pushed Wang Zhong to the ground and slammed Wang Zhong's thigh with the big wooden stick in his hand, causing Wang Zhong to scream in pain like a pig.

Lao Wang was very distressed, and kept begging the county officials to stop beating, and if he beat again, he would be disabled. But where was the county official willing to listen to him, he felt that torturing Wang Zhong was also a very happy thing.

Equally happy with the county officials was the mother of the deceased son Liu Dachai, Zhao. She praised the county magistrate for playing well. and asked the county magistrate to simply beat her daughter-in-law as well. The county magistrate said to Liu Dachai's mother: "It was Wang Zhong who killed your son Liu Dachai, and it has nothing to do with your daughter-in-law. ”

Liu Dachai's mother said to the county official: "As the saying goes, a slap doesn't make a sound. Zhou Zixiang and Wang Zhong themselves are accomplices, and the two of them have always been in love. The two of them can fight together to be worthy of my son Liu Dachai. ”

What the county magistrate hates the most is that others are pointing at him to teach him to do things. It was as if he, as a county official, still needed to go to an old woman in the village to teach the work. So the county magistrate was angry, and he would take action as soon as he was angry. As a result, Liu Dachai's mother and Wang Zhong's father were driven out by the county officials.

Zhou Zixiang saw Wang Zhong being beaten, and she was very upset. At the beginning, she also cried and begged Wang Zhong to treat her man's man. Wang Zhong didn't shirk at all. Not only did he readily agree to help treat the disease, but he also did his best, no matter whether the sun was shining or the rain was pouring down, he worked tirelessly to take care of Liu Dachai's condition. Wang Zhong's dedication, Zhou Zixiang saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, and was full of gratitude to Wang Zhong.

So, Zhou Zixiang rushed over desperately and begged the county officials not to beat Wang Zhong anymore, there must be something else hidden in this matter.

The county magistrate asked Zhou Zixiang with a smile: "Then do you hide the relationship between you and Wang Zhong?" ”

Zhou Zixiang said to the county official: "The relationship between me and Wang Zhong is the relationship between a pure patient and a doctor." ”

The county official said to Zhou Zixiang: "This case has been solved. The culprit is this Wang Zhong. No one should say a word more. That week, Zixiang, you should go back to your home and live a good life. In the future, you must keep your eyes open and don't fall for hypocrites again. ”

Zhou Zixiang also wanted to help Wang Zhong say a few words, but the county magistrate didn't allow her to say more and blasted her out.

Wang Zhong had already fainted from the beating at this time. A basin of cold water was poured over, and he woke up again. In fact, it is better if he doesn't wake up, because after waking up, he was beaten inhumanely. Wang Zhongzhong couldn't hold it anymore, afraid that he would be beaten to death like this, because his thighs were no longer numerous. So he simply confessed his sins, even if he died, he chose to die a lighter death, why suffer those superfluous sins.

Sure enough, as soon as Wang Zhong pleaded guilty, the county officials stopped beating him. Instead, he smiled and asked him to draw a prisoner, and then locked up in a cell waiting for the day of beheading.

When Wang Zhong was just imprisoned, he shouted grievances all day long, and when he saw that no one paid attention to him, he scolded the county official, saying that the county official was a confused pig and dog, and he had no ability to distinguish at all. also said that the county magistrate should have benefited from the murderer, so he helped the murderer to speak.

When the county magistrate saw that Wang Zhong was not even in prison, he warned him not to talk nonsense again, otherwise he would continue to beat him severely. He knew that the county magistrate could do what he said, and the hero would not suffer the loss in front of him, so he stopped talking.

Later, Lao Wang came into the prison to see Wang Zhong once. The two fathers and sons naturally hugged their heads and cried. The old king said that he didn't believe that his son was a murderer, and he wanted to continue to sue the official, and he must clear his son's grievances.

However, Wang Zhong advised Lao Wang to give up. First, Lao Wang's eyes are not good, it is inconvenient to walk, and he is so old that he can't withstand such a toss, in case there is an accident, wouldn't it be one more person to be hurt. Second, Wang Zhong thinks that officials and officials are mutual, and it is useless, so it is better to save some silver to spend their old age in peace. Lao Wang gave up this idea with tears.
