Chapter 78 The dog official who is greedy for life and afraid of death
The words are concise and to the point, and it sounds like a big deal, so County Magistrate Liu sat upright at that time.
He turned his head and glanced at the man: "Tell me in detail!"
Tang Qingshan told the story again, County Magistrate Liu said: "Then Tang Sanshui, since he is your brother, why did he treat you like this? Did you have anything against him in the past?"
Tang Qingshan said the previous thing again.
Magistrate Liu frowned and said, "Where is Lizheng?"
Li Zheng is also surnamed Tang, he is just over fifty years old, and he has been waiting beside him for a long time. He has met officials a few times, and he usually helps with business and so on. , and then explained the matter in detail.
Magistrate Liu nodded: "According to this, this Tang Sanshui's revenge is simply inhumane!"
He issued a sign to arrest Tang Sanshui, Mrs. Liu and others, and then began to interrogate the "defendant".
The man claimed to be named Wu Lei, and he was very bachelor. Anyway, he was caught on the spot, so he couldn't deny it, so he just told the whole story.
While kowtowing, he said: "Master County, the young one is poor and impatient, and if he wants to earn a little money, he would never dare to do murder. I didn't dare to touch half of that girl's hair, and I didn't even scare her." , I really didn’t do anything, I was deceived by that Tang Sanshui... No matter what I say, I have been in the rivers and lakes, I have a few friends in the rivers and lakes, I also want to save face, how can I do such a thing..."
Outside, Mrs. Lin hugged Xinbao and snorted coldly, her eyes were full of chills.
What he said, on the surface, was pleading, but in fact it was a threat.
The affairs of the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes are over, these officials are greedy for life and afraid of death, how many dare to provoke the people of the rivers and lakes?
But now, not back then.
Back when she was pregnant with a child, she couldn't do anything, but now... If he dares to bend the law for personal gain, she will come to him at night to have a good talk!
Er Brother Tang was right next to him, leaned over, and said in a low voice: "Don't be mad, Mommy, that's fine, it's all on Tang Sanshui!"
Miss Lin thought so too.
If County Magistrate Liu treats Wu Lei a little less, then Tang Sanshui will have to take the blame for this crime, and Tang Sanshui will be dealt with first. Isn't it hard to say Wu Lei?
While thinking about it, the yamen servant also released Mrs. Liu Tang Sanshui and Xiao Liu.
No matter how aggressive Mrs. Liu is, she has never seen an official in her life, and none of these three people will come to trouble.
Drag in, Tang Sanshui's expression changed when he saw Wu Lei, and he collapsed to the ground.
But Mrs. Liu didn't recognize it. Seeing Tang Qingshan kneeling on the ground surrounded by villagers, she panicked and said sharply, "Tang Qingshan! What did you do! Don't get me involved! My lord! "
She snotted and burst into tears: "I have nothing to do with him anymore, I have been expelled! If he committed a crime, you arrest him, but don't arrest me!"
Tang Qingshan knelt straight, motionless and did not speak.
Xinbao's heart ached so much, he struggled to go down and hug Daddy.
Ms. Lin hugged her and did not let go, whispering in her ear: "Xinbao can't go, be good."
Xinbao twitched her little nose, shed tears, and murmured: "Daddy is not sad, Xinbao loves Daddy, and Daddy is not sad."
Magistrate Liu frowned.
He calls himself a gentleman, and he hates the way the country woman scolds the street the most. Seeing this posture, his face turned black at the time, and he knocked on the gavel: "Silence! Dare to roar in court! Immediately drag down and hit the board!"
Mother Liu was so frightened that she held back at that moment, not daring to speak anymore, and collapsed to the ground like mud.
Magistrate Liu asked the answer coldly: "Tang Sanshui, Wu Lei accused you of conspiring with him to kill Tang Qingshan's family, can you plead guilty!?"
Tang Sanshui said anxiously: "I didn't, I didn't..."
He broke out in a cold sweat from fright, and subconsciously asked Tang Qingshan for help: "Big brother, big brother, I don't have it, I don't have it, I'm still young, I don't understand anything, big brother, help me, help me, you are right I am the best, I will be filial to you when I grow up, please..."
Magistrate Liu interrupted coldly, "If you don't confess, I will punish you."
Tang Sanshui said anxiously: "I really don't have...Big brother! Big brother save me! Big brother, you spared me this time, I'm still young, I didn't mean to..."
Tang Qingshan ignored him, Liu County Magistrate said with a sneer: "Use torture! Hit ten boards first!"
Tang Sanshui screamed: "Brother! Brother, you really don't care about me! You are my brother, you can't ignore me! Tang Qingshan!"
The yamen servant didn't care what he said, just knocked him down on the spot, and Tang Sanshui let out a scream as soon as he fell down.
Mrs. Liu was in a hurry, and she couldn't care less about her fear. She jumped on him and said, "Stop hitting me! If you want to hit me, hit me! My old woman won't live for a few days! If you want to hit me, hit me!"
However, this scene, in the eyes of the villagers of Yutang Village, always has a different meaning, and everyone's expressions suddenly become strange.
As for the onlookers, seeing the toothache expressions on the faces of the people here, they also feel a little sympathetic... There must be something wrong, or can they make such expressions?
The yamen servant didn't show any pity for the old woman, so he dragged her away swiftly, and beat her again with two boards, and Mrs. Liu screamed like she was going to die.
Although Tang Sanshui is from a farmer, he was raised as a noble and noble man. Where did he suffer from this kind of crime, he howled at that time: "I say! I say!"
Even if he wanted to say something, the ten boards were still clattered.
Tang Sanshui was dragged up, looked at Tang Qingshan with hatred, and said through gritted teeth: "My lord, I, I do know Wu Lei, I thought... My lord, don't be fooled by this Tang Qingshan! This Tang Qingshan even His mother doesn't even recognize him, he is not a good guy! Don't let him deceive you! I am also killing harm for the people!"
So it is said that Tang Sanshui can't speak. This county magistrate is obviously conceited. If you say that he was cheated, doesn't it mean that he is confused and can't see clearly?
The second elder brother was below, looking at it leisurely, and sure enough, County Magistrate Liu said with a serious face: "You just called the eldest brother loudly, saying that he treats you best, but now you turn your face and refuse to recognize anyone. It can be seen that you are double-faced and three-faced. See the wind and steer the rudder! Come on, hit another twenty boards!"
After playing twenty boards again, Tang Sanshui was completely honest.
He had a pool of snot and tears, and his whole body shivered into a ball: "I...I'll recruit!"
He didn't dare to hide anything anymore, and he did all the tricks, which made everyone in Yutang Village below feel cold.
County Magistrate Liu nodded somewhat complacently, and then said seriously: "There are people like you who are not as good as animals in the world! Brother Ling treats you like a father. Not only are you not grateful, but you repay your kindness and revenge, and you have the heart to kill your brother! My officer Under the rule, how can there be such bad behavior! This official will never tolerate..."
He said it passionately.
While he was talking, the master next to him stepped forward and poured him a cup of tea.
Magistrate Liu understood, and glanced at the piece of paper under the teacup, his eyes froze sharply.
