Chapter 432 Missing

For this, he gave Wu Ajun two taels of silver. Now he failed to steal the chicken and lost himself, which was a huge loss.

clap clap clap!

The soldiers continued to beat the father and son severely, causing them to cry and scream in pain.

"Has Wu Ahjun done anything terribly evil? How did Ershuan from Wu Lichang's family come to the Wu family? Does Ershuan have any relatives? Tell me!"

Bang, bang, bang, another round of beating, which directly knocked the two cowards unconscious.

"Useless things!"

They poured water on the person, pinched his Ren Zhong point, and after waking him up, they continued beating and interrogating him.

In the two torture rooms next door, Wu Baman, Wu Sisheng and Wu Ajun were also being tortured.

"Someone has already confessed your evil deeds. Tell the truth. What else have you done? If you don't, you will be severely punished!"

Someone betrayed them?!

"Don't confess? Severe punishment!"

The executioner received the order and began to cut the meat with a knife.

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

Watching your own flesh being cut off piece by piece, the shock is unbearable for anyone.

Wu Baman immediately confessed: "I said, I said, don't cut it, it hurts so much..."

He just helped spread some rumors, took advantage of some young women, and used his power to plunder some things from his fellow villagers. He never even raped a girl. Why did he have to endure such a punishment?

"Elaborate!"

Wu Baman cried and confessed all the bad things their small gang had done over the years.

Wu Sisheng also confessed.

At this moment, Wu Sisheng was extremely grateful to himself for keeping his original heart and not taking advantage of his power to do evil, otherwise he would have died today.

And because he did not dare to do anything serious, Village Chief Wu did not really use him.

Wu Ajun was smart and only confessed some minor crimes.

Master Lu asked him again: "Do you know Ershuan's background? Who else is in his family?"

This Ershuan is too tough. Even torture can't pry his mouth open...but he is too tough, so Master Lu and the others became suspicious.

"I don't know much, I just know that he helped the headman, so the headman took him home and raised him as a farmhand and a son."

What he said was similar to what the others said. Master Lu frowned slightly and continued to interrogate Wu Ajun.

After wasting half a day and finding nothing major, they had no choice but to stop torturing him.

"Press your fingerprints." Master Lu took the confession from the clerk and gave it to Wu Ajun.

Wu Ajun cooperated very well. He pressed the red ink with his left hand and put his fingerprint on the confession. He looked at Master Lu with fear and grievance, and asked in a low voice: "Sir, I have confessed everything. When can I go home?"

Seeing Wu Ahjun pretending to be weak, Master Lu was displeased and said coldly, "You brought hundreds of people to block the county gate and almost caused a big incident. You still want to go home? Stay here honestly!"

Wu Ajun was secretly shocked... This master wouldn't accept his show of weakness?

"Take him to the cell..." Master Lu paused, and suddenly looked at Wu Ajun's right hand, and ordered the guard: "Raise his right hand."

Wu Ajun was horrified and bit his cheek to force himself to calm down.

The bailiff grabbed Wu Ajun's right hand and raised it in front of Master Lu.

Master Lu pointed to a scar at the base of his little finger and asked, "How did you get this scar?"

Wu Ajun said hurriedly: "Yes, it was during the winter when we were warming ourselves by the fire and we accidentally burned the charcoal."

is it?

Master Lu is a half-slave of the Lu family, specially trained to do errands for his masters, and understanding their expressions and thoughts is one of the skills he must learn.

Therefore, after seeing Wu Ajun's frightened expression, he immediately ordered a yamen runner: "Go and invite Doctor Kang and the coroner... Tie him up and don't let him bite his hand."

Master Lu had seen many tricks, and he gave such instructions because he was afraid that Wu Ajun would bite the scar in a hurry and destroy the trace.

Wu Ajun was finally so frightened that his whole body was cold... Did this master discover something?

It's impossible. Several years have passed, and the incident happened in Shan'an County. Even if someone reported it to the police, it would have been reported in Shan'an County. There's no way the Tianfu County government would know about it!

Master Lu observed the subtle changes in Wu Ajun's expression carefully, and his suspicion grew stronger... This Wu Ajun might have committed a serious crime.

"Master Lu." Doctor Kang and the county coroner came over.

Master Lu pointed at Wu Ahjun's right hand and said, "Doctor Kang, Master Zeng, do you think there is anything strange about the scar at the base of this man's right little finger?"

"Yes." The two responded and went to look at the scar on Wu Ajun's right hand.

After looking at it for a long time, his brows furrowed more and more, which made Wu Ajun very happy... Hahaha, he did it perfectly, and it took so long, even the doctor couldn't tell!

Unfortunately, he was happy too early.

Doctor Kang told Master Zeng: "There is a hard object at the base of the scar on the little finger, which proves that this person once had six fingers, or six fingers with bones, but the sixth finger must have been...bitten off."

With just one sentence, Wu Ajun's face lost all color.

But he was smart and kept his head down, so no one saw his expression.

"What evidence?" asked Master Lu.

Doctor Kang and Master Zeng lifted Wu Ajun's right hand, pointed at a raised scar, and said, "Under this raised scar, there is a scar mark left by a tooth."

"This proves that he was first bitten by the teeth, and then burned by the fire after the bite healed completely."

A smell of trying to hide something but making it more obvious wafted out.

"Wu Ajun, why do you want to cover up one scar with another? What's so shameful about teeth marks and scars?" Master Lu stared at him and asked.

Wu Ajun did not answer.

Master Lu sneered: "You won't confess? No problem. The yamen has many tortures. I hope you can hold out until the last one."

Wu Ahjun thought of the horror of having his flesh cut off, and finally raised his head and cried, "Sir, I have confessed everything, there is nothing more to confess... I did have six fingers before, and was often laughed at for that. Once when I went out to look for a job, my employer disliked my six fingers, so I was so angry that I bit off my sixth finger."

"Later, when I was warming myself by the fire in winter, I accidentally pressed my hand on the charcoal and got the fire scar."

"I really haven't done anything bad, please be merciful and understand, wuwuwu..." Wu Ajun cried and looked extremely pitiful.

Unfortunately, Master Lu was not fooled and grasped the key point in the words: "Looking for work outside? That means you often travel to other places. So, it is very likely that you have done something bad outside."

Wu Ajun stopped crying suddenly, then continued crying: "No, I didn't, please be careful, sir."

"Come here, tie him to the rack and whip him five times every hour until the next time I come to the torture room... Don't let him commit suicide." After giving the instructions, Master Lu left the torture room and went to report the matter to Magistrate Kang.

After hearing this, County Magistrate Kang wanted to die. He really wanted to die.

How many crappy things are there in this crappy place?!

Can't you just stop?

Can’t you wait until I get promoted before exposing this?

"Sir, if we can solve the old case in the other government office, it will not only be a credit, but also bring us honor." Master Lu advised him to cheer up.

County Magistrate Kang was silent for a while before he said, "Find out where Wu Ahjun has been to work? And check those places to see if there are any unsolved cases? Come back to me after you've checked!"

"Yes." Master Lu hurriedly took people to do it.

……

On the second day after Wu Ajun and others were arrested, Grandpa Qin and others finally got the OK, saying that the Wu family case had come to an end and they could return to the village first.

"However, when people from the government office come, they may come to question you again. The government office will notify you then and you can come again." said the clerk.

Grandpa Qin hurriedly said, "Don't worry, clerk, we will definitely cooperate with the government office to handle the case."

Then he asked, "Guan Shuli, can you let Huang Laoer and his family go to see Huang Xianniang and her sister?"

Up to now, Huang Laoer's family has not seen Huang Xianniang and her sisters. They begged Grandpa Qin to help them apply for prison visits from the government.
