Chapter Ninety-Eight: Retraction of Confession

In the darkness, Shi An slowly opened his eyes, only to see a tall and straight back standing in front of him, just looking at it made people feel afraid.

"Who are you? Where is this, and why are you tying me up? Shi An's face was full of horror and he didn't know why.

Gu Huanli turned around when he heard this, and asked instead of answering: "You are the one who went to the county government that day to testify for the Wang family that Lu Xuan kidnapped Wang Zixuan?" ”

As soon as he heard that the person who came was related to Wang Zixuan's disappearance, Shi An was suddenly flustered, and his eyes dodged: "What are you asking for, did the Wang family send you to test me?" ”

Shi An was terrified, recently, the Wang family had repeatedly argued with the county government over the disappearance of Wang Zixuan, and he really didn't want to be involved anymore.

Seeing the fierce light on the face of the person in front of him, Shi An probably thought that the Wang family had come to the door again and asked him to do something against his conscience.

Gu Huanli didn't respond to him from beginning to end, and only continued to ask himself: "What benefits did the Wang family give you to frame Lu Xuan before?" ”

Hearing this, Shi An dispelled Fang Cai's conjecture and continued to ask: "You are not from the Wang family, that is, Lu Xuan sent you?" ”

When Gu Huanli asked, Shi An didn't have a good answer, and he suddenly lost his patience: "If I ask you, you'd better answer clearly." ”

Shi An had never seen the world, and he didn't know Gu Huanli's identity, and when he saw him angry, he thought it was inexplicable, and he didn't care at all: "Who are you, why should I listen to you, if you want me to answer, do you have to answer?" ”

was stiff-mouthed, only to see Gu Huan Li hook his fingers, Qin Xiao hurriedly sent someone to present the completed torture tools one by one.

Seeing this, Shi An immediately panicked: "What do you want to do, it is against the law to abuse lynching in broad daylight!" ”

The law? Gu Huanli has been in charge of the Criminal Department for so many years, and it is the first time that someone has talked to him about the law.

He raised his lips and smiled, ignoring what Shi An said, and then spoke: "Either answer honestly, or choose one of them." ”

Shi An trembled, but he was lucky, always thinking that he didn't dare to dare someone to really kill innocents.

"Don't think I'm going to be scared if you scare me like this, I won't say a word." Shi'an cut the railway.

Gu Huanli hooked the corners of his mouth: "Really?" Then I'm going to try my best. ”

After saying that, Gu Huanli immediately motioned to Qin Xiao: "Then you will choose it for him." ”

Qin Wei received the order, and before Shi An could react, a long nail had pierced straight into the pipa bone on his left side, which immediately caused a terrible scream.

After he stopped a little, Gu Huanli bent down and looked at him lightly: "How is it, do you still think I'm scaring you?" ”

Shi An's face was full of pain and shook his head again and again: "No, no, no, my lord spares my life, my lord spares my life." ”

Seeing that the prey was finally tame, Gu Huanli straightened up: "I'm not interested in your life, as long as you answer my questions truthfully, I will let you go." ”

"Yes, yes, I said, as long as the adults ask, I will definitely say." Shi An responded.

Gu Huanli then sat down and began to interrogate: "Let me ask you, what you said in front of the prefect in the previous Wang Zixuan case is the truth?" ”

"What did you say, the villain said a lot that day, I really don't know which one the adult is referring to." Shi An still had a chance in his heart.

Gu Huanli really didn't have the patience to deal with him: "Are you sure you don't know?" ”

Gu Huanli was still asking here, and over there, Qin Wei had already prepared a thicker and longer iron pestle in his hand.

Seeing this, Shi An didn't have time to think, and hurriedly nodded: "Remember, remember, the adult asked about the Lu County Order." "Count him as an acquaintance.

Gu Huanli was silent, and Shi An continued: "I did see Lu Xian Ling kidnapping the young master of the Wang family that day. ”

Thinking about it, he was probably afraid of offending the Wang family, and it would be difficult to gain a foothold in Yuanshan County in the future, so he dared to deceive Gu Huanli.

But Gu Huanli had already decided that this matter was done by the Wang family, and now it has been confirmed by Qing Pei, how could he be easily deceived by such a small inn guy?

Hearing this, Gu Huanli couldn't help but sigh: "I've given you a chance, but you think it's boring to live well, so I'll give you some stimulation." ”

After speaking, Qin Wei immediately stepped forward, and without blinking his eyes, he stabbed the iron pestle into the pipa bone on the same side, and Wang An suddenly felt unbearable pain.

"What the villain said is true!" Wang An is still talking nonsense.

Gu Huanli immediately motioned to Qin Xiao: "Since he is unwilling to tell the truth, let's try to see how many such long nails can be nailed into the same bone." ”

Hearing this, Qin Xiao said in a dark voice in Shi An's ear as he executed it:

"If you want to die, you need to wait for the blood to dry down the nail, and this process will take at least three days and three nights."

Not to mention that Wang An doesn't want to die at all, even if he really regards death as home, who can endure such a torment that life is worse than death?

The spikes were still piercing Wang An's shoulders one after another, and he finally couldn't support it: "I said, I said ......" At that time, he had no strength to shout.

Only then did Gu Huanli order Qin Xiao to stop, and then looked at Shi An indifferently: "Say it." ”

Shi An endured the pain and said weakly: "It's Wang Ji'an, it was he who used a hundred taels of silver to buy me to give him a false testimony." ”

"What about Lu Xuan's kidnapping of Wang Zixuan with your own eyes?" Gu Huanli asked.

Shi An shook his head: "It was also Wang Ji'an who forced me to say it, I entertained guests at the inn that day, and I never left at all, and the shopkeeper and the guests present can testify." ”

Gu Huanli was satisfied: "Wouldn't it be possible to avoid the pain of flesh and skin by explaining earlier?" ”

After saying that, he immediately got up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Shi An: "My lord, the Wang family is forcing the lives of my whole family, if they know that I betrayed, I ......"

Before Shi An finished speaking, Gu Huanli had already responded: "As long as you follow me to the prefect to make it clear, I can keep your family safe and sound." ”

With such conditions, how could Shi An not agree? He nodded hurriedly, and Gu Huanli then instructed Qin Xiao: "Give him a good gold sore medicine, and then send it to the county office." ”

Qin Wei received the order, and Gu Huanli went to the county government in person.

At that time, Su Junfeng was trapped under the coercion of the Wang family and took refuge in the government for a while.

Hearing that someone had come to see him with the latest evidence, he hurriedly ordered someone to invite him.

Seeing that the popularity was so high, not like a small county civilian, Su Junfeng couldn't help but get up: "Dare to ask who your Excellency is?" ”

Gu Huanli looked indifferent: "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that I can help you solve this case and bring it up." ”

At the sound of an order, the accompanying secret guards hurriedly brought people in.

Su Junfeng was puzzled: "Who is this?" ”

Gu Huanli motioned for the person to explain himself, and then he spoke: "I am the shopkeeper of Xianyun Inn, and it was my unsuccessful partner who gave false testimony in front of the adults a few days ago. ”

"Perjury? You mean Shi An? Su Junfeng remembered that Lu Xuan had previously said that what Shi An said was a lie, but there were inferences and no evidence.

At present, there was a witness, and the shopkeeper immediately spoke: "On the day of the incident, the inn was entertaining distinguished guests, and people were too busy to leave, and Shi An never left the inn half a step from morning to night. ”

"You're saying he hasn't been to the Wind Temple at all?" Su Junfeng confirmed again.

The shopkeeper suddenly nodded with a look of hatred for iron and steel: "Yes, if it weren't for this son's reminder, I wouldn't know that I had recruited such a villain with a lot of lies." ”

After speaking, Su Junfeng didn't say anything, but Gu Huanli explained: "I can't complain about Shi An in this matter, as far as I know, someone is forcing him with his family's life." ”

Su Junfeng was surprised: "There is such a thing? ”

After weighing it for a while, seeing that Gu Huanli had never revealed his identity, Su Junfeng had always been suspicious: "But how can this official believe a person of unknown origin?" ”

As he was talking, Shi An was also brought by Qin Wei by chance, only to hear him say from afar: "It is true." ”

Only then was everyone's eyes drawn to it.

"Shi An? ...... are you" Seeing Shi An's pale face, Su Junfeng hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Shi An did not explain the reason, but only testified that what Gu Huanli said was true: "The surname Wang threatened the lives of my family, and I was forced to tell a lie." ”

Having said that, how can Shi An's shoulder injury be explained?

Su Junfeng took a closer look, and saw that Gu Huanli's face was cold, and he didn't seem to be a good person.

He suddenly became defensive: "But what is your injury, could it be that someone is forcing you at this moment?" ”

Gu Huanli was speechless, but he just turned his head to look at Qin Xiao: "How is the Shi An family's side?" ”

Even Shi An himself didn't know about this.

Hearing this, Qin Xiao immediately responded: "The Wang family's nursing home guarding the side has been driven away, and now the family is settled in the inn and someone is sent to protect it." ”

Hearing this, Shi An hurriedly knelt down towards Gu Huanli: "Thank you for saving your life." ”

Seeing this scene, it doesn't look like a fake, after all, who would be grateful to the perpetrator?

At this point, Su Junfeng reluctantly believed it, but he was still stubborn: "With this person's witness, although it can prove that the Wang family is obstructing it, but at the moment, Wang Zixuan's whereabouts are still unknown, and I am afraid that Lu County Ling will have to be wronged for a few more days." ”

Gu Huanli naturally knew that these were not enough evidence to clear Lu Xuan's suspicions, so he didn't plan anything at first, just wanted to solve the current predicament.

"The prefect has the rules of the prefect in handling the case, and I won't interfere, but with this evidence, I think it's enough for adults to talk to those theories outside the door."

Shicai only cared about solving the case, but Su Junfeng forgot about those who picked quarrels and provoked trouble outside the door.

After being reminded by Gu Huanli, Su Junfeng remembered: "Yes, I don't know if the two certificates can be borrowed from this official?" ”

Gu Huanli nodded indifferently: "Please." ”

With permission, Su Junfeng immediately took people out to solve the current trouble, while Gu Huanli took advantage of his unpreparedness to go over to Lu Xuan's side.

Finally, he was not forced by the Wang family to convict Lu Xuan, so that Gu Huanli could go to see her this time in a dignified manner.
