Chapter Seventy-Seven: Confession
Wang Shun's initial hippie smiling face was finally put away, his face was pale, his forehead was covered with sweat, and the whole person was in a trance. If he doesn't say it, his son will be beaten, these people are obviously extremely disgusted with them, and they will never show mercy to their subordinates.
Before he confessed, Wang Ping'an would lose his life! This son was raised by him, and his affection is extraordinary, how can he bear it?
Wang Shun struggled, looked at Chu Tingchuan with a sigh, and said slowly: "It is said that His Royal Highness is a generous person, but why do you deliberately want to see the tragedy of our father and son cannibalism?" Beating his son in front of Lao Tzu, beating Lao Tzu in front of his son, is this how His Royal Highness tried the case? ”
Ying Changshi laughed angrily, and couldn't help but immediately reprimand: "Let your mother's bullshit!" We don't try the case like this, how do you inhuman people know how powerful the yamen is?! How can justice be served?! You even have the face to say such a thing! Since you know human ethics, how can you do such a deceitful thing!? You let a mother watch her two-year-old son die in front of her! You brute! You also have the face to say that others are vicious?! ”
Zhou Shilang felt that Ying Changshi was really scolding heartily this time, which was very in line with his heart, and this was exactly what he wanted to say.
How could those ruffians ever think about how cruel it was to fall to death his son in front of a mother?
When Wang Shunli wanted to do all this, how could he ever think about the cycle of heavenly principles and retribution?
Now that it was up to him, he knew it hurt, but it was too late.
The hall was silent for a while, Wang Shun's violent panting voice was extremely clear, and he couldn't speak, because there was really nothing to say.
These adults seem to have checked it very clearly.
Wang Ping'an woke up with a whimper, saw this scene at a glance, and was so frightened that he almost fainted on the spot.
He couldn't stand the toss anymore.
Wang Shun was still hesitating.
Seeing that he was like this, Chu Tingchuan sneered, and the last trace of patience ran out, stretched out his hand and dropped a order sign, and said in a deep voice: "Let's fight." ”
The officials quickly pressed Wang Ping'an down with their hands and feet, and the board crackled on Wang Ping'an's body.
Wang Ping'an has much finer skin and tender meat than Wang Shunke, and his family has been rich since he was a child. He had not suffered much, and now the boards were hitting him as if they were killing him, and he soon cried out in pain.
Wang Shun's heart is like a knife.
And the officials did not have the slightest intention of keeping their hands and stopping, he supported his own body, which was almost unsupportable, looking at his son's tragic condition, like a tiger with its teeth extracted, showing a fierce and heart-wrenching expression.
But he couldn't change much.
The first few people who tried the case looked at him with a gloomy and cold attitude, as if he was just an ant, vulnerable.
And in fact, it was true, he knew in his heart that he couldn't hold on for long.
When his son was treated like this, he quickly broke down and cried, "I said! I say! The ledger is indeed mine, and I did give those people a few thousand taels of silver back then, so that they could help me cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. Because Hu Jia was very uninteresting, his grandfather and uncle were dead, and he didn't even give up, so I thought about simply letting his family fall, so that no one would help him anymore. ”
Don't know?
Now I want to push it clean.
Ying Changshi let out a cold snort from his throat: "Really? But those ruffians have said that they have come to you after they have done their work, and you praise them for doing a good job, how can you not know about this? If you don't know, you won't buy them a property and gag them, right? ”
Wang Shun was speechless.
Zhou Shilang threw the confessions of other people, including the ruffians and junzi, to him, and said coldly: "Take a good look, what did you do, how did you do it, who helped you do it, in fact, those people have already said the same, and the most important thing, you can also take a look." ”
As he spoke, Ying Changshi had already come down to supply him with Mrs. Wang's mouth: "See? This is Mrs. Wang's confession, she personally admitted that you once gave Master Wang 130,000 taels of silver, and also gave him a large piece of land, this land belongs to the Hu family, right? ”
Wang Shun had no illusions in his heart.
It turns out that they have already interrogated so many people before, and they have obtained so much information.
Even Mrs. Wang can catch them!
His heart was cold, and his originally firm mind was shaken.
What's the use of insisting on it now?
He originally thought that if he didn't say it, he wouldn't pull Master Wang in, and the Wang family always had a little incense.
But now Mrs. Wang herself has admitted it!
Now that she has admitted it, he is still stiff, but he is just pushing himself and his son to die faster!
Wang Shun thought about it again and again, and admitted tremblingly: "Yes, this matter is indeed there, the one who escorted this batch of silver to Beijing was still my confidant Shunzi, and he personally handed it over to my elder brother." ”
The scribe writes like flying, and remembers to be fast.
Zhou Shilang tapped his finger on the table and asked him to explain everything from beginning to end.
At this time, Wang Shun no longer dared to play any prestige, he swallowed his saliva, and honestly told himself how he framed the Hu family, how he colluded with the county magistrate to drop the ramie sent up, and finally how he bribed the Hu family when they were wronged.
Then there was the matter of him sending people to bribe the bandits and chase down Hu Jia who complained all the way.
When asked here, Chu Tingchuan interrupted him and asked coldly: "When Hu Jia ran to Quanzhou, his son disappeared under the pursuit, do you know this?" Is the child still alive? ”
Zhou Shilang and Ying Changshi both pricked up their ears.
They really wanted the child to be alive.
Hu Jia is lonely and miserable, and there is nothing left, even if this case is clarified, he may not be happier, and he will live in pain for the rest of his life.
If the child is still around, at least a little hope.
It's a pity that Wang Shun hesitated for a while, and then said in a voice like a mosquito: "I have heard about this matter, the child fell into the sea, I am afraid that it is.....
It can't be alive.
The crowd fell silent.
Ying Changshi waited until he had finished explaining everything, and then asked someone to take the mouth for him to sign and draw.
Then Chu Tingchuan said: "Okay, everything is ready, now only Master Wang is left." ”
