The Record of Righteousness

Chapter 30 Scapegoat

The next day, news spread throughout the capital that Zhang Riliang, the head of the Japanese bodyguard bureau, and his men fled with gold and silver.

What was unexpected was that it was his nephew who reported the case to the government!

Coupled with the fact that the Bai family didn't know the truth, they were furious.

Let their people in the court operate secretly, and the government has quickly issued a wanted order.

This criminal thief and his accomplices must be brought to justice!

At this time, he was in the imperial prison in Dongchang.

The cell inside is dark.

As far as the eye can see, there are all kinds of hideous and strange instruments of torture, as well as the moans of all kinds of prisoners.

This kind of prison was specially set up by Dong Jiji Factory to hold serious criminals.

When the people of the Great Shu Dynasty mentioned the words Dongchang and Zhaoyu, they all became frightened.

Ordinary people generally do not have the qualifications to enter such prisons.

But once you enter, you will be sentenced to death, and you will suffer endless torture before death.

Even a high-ranking official who committed a serious crime and lost all his money to buy back his life.

The prisoner was also tortured into a dehumanized state, which was all frightening.

In cell No. C in Zhao Prison.

But he saw a green-robed eunuch holding his chin and crossing his legs, smiling sadly.

In front of him was an inhuman-looking man tied to a wooden stake with iron chains, dying.

There were two eunuchs in gray robes tinkering with the red-hot irons.

The firelight reflected on Wanqing's face.

When he saw the indifferent criminal in front of him pretending to be dead, he couldn't help but get angry, slapped his hand on the armrest of the seat, stood up and growled:

"Wang Laowu, you colluded with Zhang Riliang, the chief bodyguard, and killed more than ten people in your bodyguard. You took gold and silver in an attempt to escape, but there was a dispute over the uneven distribution of the spoils.

Haha, our family already knows, Leng Feng has already told our family the truth.

But as long as you tell me where Zhang Riliang is and where the money is hidden, I will save you a little trouble! "

"I...I was wronged! Sir, I was wronged."

Wang Laowu has been blinded in one eye and has no good skin on his body, but he just refuses to admit this unreasonable disaster.

He smiled ferociously at this moment, waved to the two execution eunuchs and said:

"If you are stubborn, here comes someone! I will serve you with severe punishment!"

"yes!"

The shirtless guard on the side lifted the red-hot iron from the charcoal and blew on it twice.

"Zira!!!"

There was a burnt smell of barbecue.

That Wang Laowu kept squealing like a butchered pig, covered in fine sweat, and soon there was another huge brand mark on his body.

"Wang Laowu, do you want to move or not?"

Wang Laowu didn't seem to hear it.

He just kept his head drooped and moaned that he was wronged. Seeing this scene, Wan Qing wanted to kill this man quickly.

Wan Qing's face was extremely expressionless at this time, and he was staring at this guy.

He spent a lot of money to bribe several eunuchs in Dongchang who were responsible for hearing the case.

If this guy keeps being stubborn, then the last thing will inevitably be revealed.

While Wan Qing was gloomy and didn't know how to deal with it, Wang Laowu kept vomiting blood from his mouth and begged for mercy vaguely:

"Sir, I am really unjust. I have an eighty-year-old mother and a pair of children to take care of. Please be kind and let me go."

"Continue to torture our family! We don't believe it!!!"

At this point, Wanqing's pupils shrank suddenly, as if he remembered something he had missed, and raised his eyebrows:

"Wait!"

He shouted loudly to stop the two guards who were about to torture him.

Wan Qing ignored the two eunuchs who looked surprised and ordered:

"You two go out first. We have confidential matters to ask this thief."

"yes!"

After the two people disappeared, Wan Qing couldn't wait to get up, with a friendly smile on his face.

He handed a pot of tea to Wang Laowu's mouth.

The guy was also thirsty and drank it all without any hesitation.

Putting down the teapot, Wan Qing sighed and said melancholy:

"Brother, do you know the extent of this case?"

Wang Laowu was startled.

Unexpectedly, this father-in-law's attitude turned 180 degrees. I don't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

"Please make it clear, sir."

"Brother Wang doesn't know something. This case is neither big nor small."

"After all, it's only a few thousand taels of silver, but more than a dozen people from the Bai family have died, and the chief bodyguard is still missing. This case happened at the feet of the emperor again."

"Coupled with the report by the boy from your escort agency, this case is already known to everyone, and the government and the public are shocked!"

"What does that have to do with the villain? The villain was wronged, sir!"

"You were wronged, and no one knows!"

"Our family only knows that Leng Feng, the apprentice of your escort agency, reported on you and Zhang Riliang. Even if you are innocent, it is just mud that fell into your crotch. If it is not shit, it is shit!"

"Now that there are so many big shots watching this case, and you are at the center, you are the scapegoat!"

These words can be said to have frightened Wang Laowu to death, but his mouth was very clumsy and his face was pale.

"But, I really didn't! I can confront that guy Leng Feng in front of me! Prove that I am innocent!"

Wan Qing slapped him loudly with his backhand, and growled with blood-red eyes:

"Whether you have it or not, you are dead! Do you understand?"

"The court doesn't care who did it, and you are a scapegoat, a scapegoat to cover up the court's incompetence!"
