Chapter 531: Fooling Around
Wang Gang was already frightened when he heard Ouyang Yufei tell his whereabouts that night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info was shaking like chaff at the moment, lying on the ground, unable to speak.
Wu Cheng was furious, slapped the shocked wood heavily, and shouted: "Wang Gang, recruit from the truth!"
Wang Gang was so frightened that he hurriedly straightened up and replied in a trembling voice: "Little, villain, remember, remember." He took a breath, and continued: "Villain, it should be that you saw General Ouyang with a man in black, but I didn't expect that person to be a suspect in robbing Qianzhuang, the villain, the villain misunderstood General Ouyang, the villain, the villain should die!"
Ouyang Yufei snorted coldly again, and asked coldly: "Wang Gang, did you hear it wrong when you said that General Ben and the man in black were talking about the hiding place of military rations?"
Wang Gang was stunned for a moment, then nodded again, and said: "The villain, the villain is far away, and he didn't hear it clearly. ”
Ouyang Yufei's eyes sharpened, and he shouted: "Wang Gang, you are unscrupulous! First, the suspect was not wearing black clothes that night. Second, how can you hear and see what you can hear and see when General Ben followed the suspect into the city that night, and when he was stealing, he was caught red-handed, and there was no direct contact with him at the city gate, let alone a conversation?"
Wang Gang was suddenly deflated, and he fell to the ground, his eyes were full of despair, and he couldn't say anything anymore.
"Bang" shocked the wood again, Wu Cheng twisted his eyebrows, and shouted loudly: "Wang Gang, if you don't recruit from the truth, this official will be tortured in the court." ”
Wang Gang suddenly lay on the ground, trembling, and muttered in his mouth: "The villain, the villain did not deceive the adult, the villain's sentence and sentence are true......"
Wu Cheng's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said in a deep voice: "Someone!"
The two officials walked to the hall from both sides, clasped their fists and said, "The subordinates are here!"
"Wait. Zhou Tianhong finally spoke, his voice soft. But Lin Wan couldn't help frowning, and secretly raised his heart again.
Wu Cheng got up, turned to face Zhou Tianhong, bowed and clenched his fists, and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, may I ask what you have to say?"
Zhou Tianhong shook his head and said lightly: "This prince just has something unclear and wants to hear General Ouyang's explanation." ”
Wu Cheng took two steps back, stepped aside, and said respectfully, "His Royal Highness the Prince, may you ask." ”
Zhou Tianhong looked at Ouyang Yufei and asked lightly: "General Ouyang, you said that you followed the suspect into the city that night, but what evidence is there to prove that you didn't see anyone else that night?
Ouyang Yufei frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "If you go back to His Royal Highness the Prince, Xia Guan really can't prove that he didn't have contact with anyone else that night. After a pause, he said: "As for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's statement that the lower official left his post without permission, the lower official wants to explain." Although it was the turn of the lower officials that night, the left deputy general and the deputy general Wang were there, and when the lower official left, he had explained to the left deputy general, and the lower official had already rushed back around the hour. ”
As soon as Lin Wan heard the words "Deputy General Zuo", he immediately remembered that when he returned to the city with Zhou Tianqi that day, the Shadowless Pavilion brothers who answered at the gate of the city said that Vice General Zuo would be the person of the crown prince Zhou Tianhong.
Sure enough, Zhou Tianhong nodded and said, "Then let Deputy General Zuo also come to the hall and confront you." ”
Wu Cheng nodded and instructed the officer: "Where is the left deputy general?
"Lord Wu, Deputy General Zuo is not on duty today, his house is only one street away from here, the villain will go and invite Deputy Zuo to come. A servant clenched his fists and took the order, turned and galloped away.
Wu Cheng walked back to his seat and sat down, glanced at Ouyang Yufei lightly, and asked, "General Ouyang, what else do you have to say?"
Ouyang Yufei turned her head to look at Wang Gang, her eyes were full of resentment, but she couldn't say anything beneficial to herself.
The hall suddenly fell silent, Wu Cheng sighed lightly, turned his head to look at the third prince Zhou Tianzheng, and asked: "Your Royal Highness the third prince, in your opinion, is what the witness Wang Gang said credible?
Zhou Tianzheng's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Wang Gang and Ma Xiaosheng who were kneeling in the hall, only to see that both of them were lying on the ground, trembling. Zhou Tianzheng chuckled lightly and said, "Through the confrontation just now, although it can't completely prove General Ouyang's innocence. However, this prince thinks that it is enough to prove that everything the witness Wang Gang said is false, and if he does not use heavy punishment, I am afraid that he will not tell the truth. ”
Wang Gang suddenly straightened up, his face was like ashes, and shouted loudly: "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, the villain is wronged!
Zhou Tianzheng frowned, and gently spit out a few words: "Gagged him, torture!"
Wu Cheng didn't say a word, and instructed the servants: "Torture!"
"Yes, Lord Wu. Four officials came out from both sides, bowed down to receive orders, blocked Wang Gang's mouth with a black cloth, two officials pressed him to the ground, and two officials raised water and fire sticks, and fell heavily on Wang Gang's back.
The two officials staggered and fell sticks, and in a blink of an eye, there were already dozens of shots. Wang Gang struggled desperately at first, but after a while, sweat was like rain, his skin was open, and he couldn't move.
Lin Wan heard the sound of the stick falling and Wang Gang's muffled snort, and couldn't help frowning, turned his head away, and couldn't bear to look at it again. Although Lin Wan is not a soft-hearted person, she really can't be indifferent in the face of such a scene.
Killing people is not enough, but this kind of torture makes people feel so painful that they can't wait to die. In fact, if Lin Wan was allowed to see how the dragon guards were interrogating the black-clothed dead soldier at this moment, then she would feel that this was not torture at all.
Seeing that the fight was almost over, Wu Cheng waved his hand slowly and said, "Okay, help him up and talk back." ”
The two executioners retreated, and the other two officials dragged Wang Gang up, erected his upper body, grabbed him by the hair, and made him raise his face.
Wu Cheng was shocked and asked coldly, "Wang Gang, are you willing to tell the truth?"
Wang Gang closed his eyes, his expression was sluggish, his face was pale, but he did not lose consciousness, and when he heard Wu Cheng's words, he seemed to have not heard them, and wanted to get by.
But the officials on both sides did not intend to let him go, and one of the officials saw that he was pretending to be dead, frowned, raised his fist, and struck him hard in the stomach.
"Hmm-" Wang Gang shouted in a muffled voice, his eyes widened, looked at Wu Cheng, and nodded again and again, indicating that he was willing to confess.
Wu Cheng waved his hand, motioned to the official to take out the black cloth in Wang Gang's mouth, and shouted: "Say! Recruit from the truth! If there is another lie, this official will not spare you, and he will definitely drag it down and serve him with great punishment!"
The official took out the black cloth in Wang Gang's mouth, Wang Gang no longer dared to leave anything to chance, nodded again and again, and said, "Little, villain, you must have done it all!"
