Lin Zhutou stood up straight, raised his chin slightly, and squinted at Shui Ting, only to see her head down, and he couldn't see her expression clearly. He suppressed his voice and said, "You don't even want to tell the truth about who your surname is, where you live, how can you make adults believe you?" ”

Rao is Shui Ting has been strictly trained and has the determination to die, and he can't help but feel confused at this time. She has been lurking beside He Baihai for many years, and the target is naturally the third room of the He family, but she suddenly received an order to force He Bolin to testify against He Huan at all costs.

Even if she was caught off guard and had a million doubts in her mind, she could only do what she was told. Before, she almost persuaded He Baihai, but now she has fallen short.

At the beginning, she deliberately approached He Baihai, using the identity of Tang An's daughter, at this time she couldn't recognize herself as the daughter of a criminal, and she didn't prepare other identities, what should she do?

Shui Ting wiped his tears, and glanced at Lin Zhutou with the corner of his eye, only to see that the navy blue placket was stained with stains and dust, and the black cloth boots with a few holes were also full of mud.

"Your Excellency." Shui Tingyu was crying, choked and whispered: "It's not that the prisoner doesn't want to tell the truth, it's really that the prisoner has been abducted since she was a child, and she can't remember who her surname is......

"Come on, fight again!"

Lin Zhu's first order, Shui Ting was immediately beaten three more times, although she did not see red, but she was a weak woman after all, she could no longer kneel straight, she just collapsed on the ground and wiped her tears.

Lin Zhutou glanced at her and said coldly: "Lord Lu still has a lot of cases to try, so I don't have time to listen to your nonsense." Now give you the last chance, if you don't tell the truth again, you will kill one or two fugitive slaves in court, and you don't have to report it at all. ”

"Your Excellency. The prisoner's words are true. ”

"True? I'll let you die! Lin Zhutou snorted coldly. Stared at Shui Ting and said, "If you have been abducted and trafficked since you were a child. Who taught you to read and write? Where did you know that calligraphy and painting are Tang An's authentic works? You go to the street and ask a few random people, how many people know who Tang An is? ”

With Lin Zhutou's words, He Baihai's sympathy that had just risen instantly disappeared, only to feel that his hands and feet were cold, and his heart sank heavily. Shui Ting's identity is suspicious, he should tell the truth, and he can't help the abuse. But he was too deeply involved to completely dissociate himself from her. Besides, he didn't know what the people who instructed Shui Ting had any tricks.

As the saying goes, people don't kill for themselves...... Thinking of this, He Baihai's expression was slightly gloomy, and a trace of desperation flashed in his eyes.

Shui Ting also knew that his rhetoric was full of loopholes. Seeing that Lin Zhutou didn't believe her words for half a sentence, she cried and said: "My lord, the prisoner could have left Jizhou, but the reason why the prisoner took the initiative to turn back ......"

"Don't talk about him left and right!" Lin Zhutou interrupted her sharply, "You just have to answer honestly." Who are you, and what is the purpose of selling yourself? ”

"Your Excellency. The prisoner fell in love with Master He San, and voluntarily sold herself, but she had no purpose......"

"Your Excellency!" He Baihai saluted Lord Lu and Lin Zhutou in turn, and said loudly: "I just remembered that she was not my family's slave maid at all. ”

"Master Hesan, it seems too late for you to clear up the relationship at this time!" Lin Zhutou narrowed his eyes and looked at He Baihai.

He Bohai saw him mercilessly ordering the cane to hit the water Ting, and he was cowardly early, and he was stared at by him at this time, and he only felt cold sweat on his forehead. No matter how much he likes Shui Ting, Shui Ting's position in his heart is not as good as his children. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said stubbornly: "Lin Zhutou, everyone is a man......"

"Master Hesan, she-" Lin Zhutou pointed at Shui Ting, "your husband and wife's words are scorching, she is your family's slave." ”

"Lin Zhutou, if you say that, you have to ...... it as a last resort."

"Alright." Lin Zhutou stopped He Baihai from continuing to speak, and asked Shui Ting again: "You really don't want to confess?" Without waiting for Shui Ting to answer, he grinned lightly and said word by word: "Continue to scold her until she is willing to speak, or ......" He stepped forward, bent down and pinched Shui Ting's chin, looked into her eyes and threatened: "If she doesn't want to speak, hit her until she dies!" ”

Not only He Baihai, Xiao Zhutou and others, but even Lu County Ling was taken aback. In the past, Lin Zhutou would also help Lu Xianling to try the case, but he always disliked torture to extract confessions, and today he is like two people on weekdays.

Thinking that he hadn't "invited" He Huan yet, giving Xie San and Shen Jinglun the opportunity to save the beauty heroically, Lu Xianling hinted earnestly: "The facts must be clarified, but the trial cannot be rushed." ”

"Your Excellency." Lin Zhutou turned around and saluted to Lu County, and said in a deep voice: "Ten years ago, the son of the first prince fled to the Wa Kingdom, and among them was the Tang family. Now, the summer harvest is imminent, and she knows the things of the Tang family, maybe she is simply a spy sent by the Wa State, and she wants to cooperate with the outside world......"

"My lord, you have been wronged!" Ignoring the injury on her buttocks, Shui Ting knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, repeating in her mouth: "The prisoner doesn't even know where the country is, and the prisoner only wants to live ...... secretly."

"Someone, call me!" Lin Zhutou's voice covered Shui Ting's crying.

The yacha looked at Lin Zhutou, and then looked at Lu County's order. Seeing this, Lin Zhutou snatched the water and fire stick from the hand of one of them, and hit Shui Ting's back with a "bang" stick, hitting her to the ground in an instant, and her crying choked suddenly.

Everyone looked at each other, and in an instant, they saw Lin Zhutou hit Shui Ting's ass with three sticks one after another. Shui Ting was stunned for a moment, screamed in pain, begged for mercy repeatedly, and kept saying that she only wanted to live.

Lu Xian Ling came back to his senses, slapped the table heavily, and said angrily: "Lin Zhutou, above the court, if it is not your turn to fight, you will fight!" ”

"My lord, you must not be soft on thieves!" Before the words fell, Lin Zhutou hit Shui Ting with a stick again. When Shui Ting heard this, he was stunned for a moment and wanted to turn back, but in the end he just screamed miserably, squirming and begging for mercy from Lu Xianling.

Lu Xianling was so angry that his face turned blue and white, and he pointed at Lin Zhutou and said, "Hold him quickly!" ”

It wasn't until the yacha on the side took back the water and fire stick from Lin Zhutou's hand that Lin Zhutou suddenly realized, respectfully saluted Lu County's order, and replied after calming down: "My lord, it's not that she is deliberately embarrassed, but there have been too many unreasonable things recently, first the black scarf man robbed the corpse on the street, and then found out that Feng Jiyang was the former prince Yu Dang, who had been lurking in Jizhou for many years, and suddenly appeared two days ago. And she-" he kicked Shui Ting, who had fallen to the ground, "her origin is unknown, and she has not spoken a word of truth from beginning to end, I am afraid that there is a great conspiracy in it!" ”

"Your Excellency!" Shui Ting's voice was weak, and her head was full of sweat, "The prisoner is in the mood for her life, and she is committed to Master Hesan, just to beg for a bite to eat......"

"Begging for a bite to eat?" Lin Zhutou sneered, "You can write and calculate, you have a beautiful appearance, and you can recognize Tang An's true works, you must be extraordinary." Such you, willing to become Master He San's outer room, do you admire Master He San's talent, or do you think he looks like your father, so you love him? ”

Shui Ting's voice choked. Although she has not had direct contact with Lin Zhutou, she has long understood the temperament of the people in the yamen. As far as she knows, Lin Zhutou is generous and upright, not good at words, but loves the people, and likes to protect the weak. At this moment, she almost felt that the person in front of her was not Lin Zhutou himself at all.

Just when Shui Ting was stunned, Lin Zhuan took a few steps forward and whispered a few words to Lu Xianling.

Lu Xian Ling listened and nodded, and before Lin Zhutou finished speaking, he slapped the shocked wood and asked Shui Ting: "Bold and unscrupulous, you haven't been honestly recruited, who are you, and who instructed you to lurk in Jizhou?" ”

"Your Excellency!" Shui Ting couldn't cry, and his heart was as anxious as fire. She had known for a long time that today next year would be her sacrifice day, but she was going to die, not in front of these people. She crawled to the desk, trying to soften Lu Xianling and Lin Zhutou and the others with her pitiful appearance.

Lu Xianling originally felt that Lin Zhutou was suspected of overstepping his responsibilities and acting too radically, but after listening to his words, he realized that for his own future, he had to make good use of Shui Ting. As for Lin Zhutou, he is indeed thinking about him. He once again scolded Shui Ting for being honest, and seeing that she was just crying and begging for mercy, he instructed the yacha to continue the execution according to what Lin Zhutou said.

As the sticks of the yacha fell on Shui Ting again and again, Shui Ting's cry gradually weakened, and the smell of blood slowly diffused in the air.

Shui Ting knew that she couldn't last long, and she could barely stay awake by biting her lower lip.

Lin Zhutou looked at Shui Ting coldly, his brows furrowed more and more, ordinary people couldn't stand so many sticks at all. He suddenly thought of the black scarf man who committed suicide. "Stop!" He let out a loud shout and commanded, "Check the bottom of her tongue and teeth!" ”

Yacha grabbed Shui Ting's hair, pinched her chin, forced her to open her mouth, carefully examined it, and shook his head secretly at Lin Zhutou.

Only then was Shui Ting able to catch his breath. She propped her hands on the ground, barely raised her head, and said weakly: "Although the master is not a handsome son, but I was desperate that day, and he took me in." I love my lord, and in your eyes it may be incredible, and even think that I am a spy sent by the Japanese country, but for me, these years have been the happiest in my life. I could have walked away......" She gasped weakly, glanced at He Baihai with affection, and said in a mournful voice: "Master, the concubine will remember our oath, the next life, the next life......" Her tears rolled down, her body shook twice, and she was about to fall.

Seeing this, He Baihai hurriedly stepped forward to hug her. As early as when Lin Zhutou was beating Shui Ting with his cane, he was stunned; When Lin Zhutou mentioned the Wa State, he was even more frightened, after all, he had always done business with the Wa State.

At this moment, seeing Shui Ting lying in front of him covered with scars, he only felt that his brain was "buzzing", and blurted out: "Adult, the villain has been recruited, the villain has been recruited, Tang An's calligraphy and painting are the income of the small family, and it has nothing to do with Shui Ting." When Xiao Zhutou came to search, it was Huan Yatou who ordered me to burn those things. I don't know anything else! (To be continued......)
