I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?

Wang Dahu was stumped by Gong Shaoshan's question.

For one hundred taels of silver, he beat to death Wang Mazi, with whom he grew up.

Yesterday, his mother asked him where the silver he brought back came from. He made an excuse to evade the question, but the excuse he gave to his mother was totally unconvincing in court.

"Silver is..."

Wang Dahu hesitated for a moment, and suddenly seemed to remember something, "The money I spent was given to me by Chai Jianrong. Before, Gong Changsheng discovered the affair between Chai Jianrong and Wu Niangzi who lived on Changfu Street. He spent money to ask me and Wu Youcai to warn Gong Changsheng. That's how I got the money."

"Yes! Chai Jianrong asked us to warn Gong Changsheng. If not, we would not recognize who Gong Changsheng is." Wu Youcai, who had been shrinking his neck, quickly agreed.

When County Magistrate Yang saw that the conversation between Gong Shaoshan and Wang Dahu involved his brother-in-law, he wanted to leave immediately, but he was still a little concerned about Gong Shaoshan, so he had to sit down again with a stern face.

Gong Shaoshan didn't care at all about the county magistrate who looked extremely bad. Although the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion was on the decline, a lean camel is always bigger than a horse. Gong Shaoshan really didn't take a small county magistrate seriously.

The reason why he promised County Magistrate Yang yesterday not to pursue his brother-in-law was simply because he didn't want to cause any trouble and wanted to rescue Changsheng as quickly as possible.

Now, Changsheng has been released in court. Whether County Magistrate Yang's brother-in-law is dead or alive has nothing to do with him. However, when he saw the old sister-in-law begging for mercy, he felt sympathy and meddled in other people's business!

Gong Shaoshan sneered, "I heard that you failed to warn my nephew and were beaten by him. It seems that Chai Jianrong is really a kind man. He even got money for not doing the job well."

As he spoke, without even looking at Wang Dahu and the other two, he bowed to County Magistrate Yang and said, "Sir, these two are really dishonest. They are still trying to get involved with irrelevant people. I think we should take them away and give them fifty lashes before questioning them."

Wang Dahu and Wu Youcai's legs tightened when they heard this. Oh my god! Fifty strokes of the cane! If they continue to be beaten, how can they survive? The two of them hurriedly begged for mercy, and Wu Youcai, who had just finished twenty strokes of the cane, cried the most miserably.

"Sir, it's unfair! Sir, please spare my life!" Wu Youcai begged for mercy while kowtowing as if his life depended on it.

Wang Dahu also reacted now. The only person who could save their lives now was County Magistrate Yang. After realizing this, he kowtowed to County Magistrate Yang and begged for mercy like he did to Wu Youcai.

After hearing Gong Shaoshan's idea, County Magistrate Yang was deeply moved. He just needed to cover the two men's mouths and beat them with fifty lashes. Then they would be useless. In this way, the two men would not be able to get involved with his brother-in-law.

At this time, the court was filled with the voices of Wang Dahu and the other man begging for mercy. County Magistrate Yang frowned, and the legal advisor saw this and hurriedly rebuked the bailiffs standing on both sides.

"What are you idiots standing there for? Hurry up and cover the mouths of these two prisoners and drag them away to be beaten with sticks!"

At the order of the legal advisor, the bailiffs swarmed forward.

"Sir, I am..." Before Wang Dahu could finish his sentence, the bailiff covered his mouth.

Four yamen runners covered their mouths, some pulled people away, and in the blink of an eye, Wang Dahu and Wu Youcai were dragged away and beaten with boards before they could even give Chai Jianrong away.

Seeing this, Wang Dahu's mother was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan outside the court. She didn't care whether she would disturb the court or not, and rushed into the crowd to save her son.

Unfortunately, as soon as she came in, she was stopped by the yamen runners guarding the door.

Wang Dahu's mother and Wu Youcai's family were unable to enter the court and could only stand outside and cry.

Soon, the sound of a board hitting flesh was heard from the east corner of the court.

As soon as the sound of the board was heard, the people who were originally talking in a lively manner immediately quieted down. They listened to the slightly dull sound of the board hitting the flesh again and again, and they all fell silent unconsciously, counting the boards silently in their hearts.

Wang Dahu and Wu Youcai made some humming sounds at the beginning, but later on the humming sounds disappeared, leaving only the sound of the board being hit.

Just like that, no one knew how long it had been, the sound of the board paused, and the voice of the yamen runner came over.

"The lord prisoner has been knocked unconscious."

County Magistrate Yang didn't even raise his eyebrows when he heard this. He just replied in a cold voice:

"These two are cunning and sly. Keep beating them until they have received fifty strokes of the board."

As Magistrate Yang's words spread, the sound of beating was heard again from the east corner.

Hearing the cold sound of beating, Wang Dahu's mother and Wu Youcai's parents fainted from crying one after another.

Changsheng looked at the beating scene on the side, and thought of the time when he was beaten with a stick before, and a hint of fear subconsciously appeared on his face.

At this moment, he was very afraid that the yamen runners would drag him away to be beaten with a stick again.

Changsheng looked out of the court door in panic, and when he saw Shen Rong standing outside looking at him, she shook her head at him, indicating that he didn't have to be afraid and would not be beaten with a stick. Only then did Changsheng stop being so panicked.

Soon the fifty strokes of the boards were finished. Just as Wang Dahu and the other man and Magistrate Yang had thought, the man died after being beaten with fifty strokes of the boards. As Wu Youcai had been beaten with twenty strokes of the boards before, he died before the fifty strokes were finished.

Wang Dahu was still alive, but even if he could wake up, his lower body had been beaten to pieces.

One of them is dead and the other is disabled. What else can be tried?

The final result was that Wu Youcai was taken back by his family and buried, while Wang Dahu, who was still alive, was locked up in a cell and waited for death.

The main culprit, Chai Jianrong, temporarily let him escape.

Changsheng was released in court. The Shen family was overjoyed and talked and laughed around Changsheng outside the court, while the faces of the Wu and Wang families nearby were very bad.

The Wu family carried Wu Youcai's body. Wang Dahu's mother had swollen eyes from crying. Both families were waiting for Shen Rong and her family with resentful eyes.

If they were not standing outside the court at this moment, the Wang and Wu families would have rushed up to question them or make a fuss.

Because the county magistrate's brother-in-law was involved in this case, the county magistrate did not want to drag his brother-in-law into this case. In the end, he did not clearly convict the two men and the beating was confusing.

In the eyes of the Wang and Wu families, the county magistrate must have been bribed by the Changsheng family and used their two families as scapegoats.

Thinking about it this way, how could the two families of King Wu be willing to accept this?

"God is so blind. He beat someone to death and he is still fine, but the person who reported the case became a scapegoat. Is there any law in this world?" Wu Youcai's younger brother Wu Youqian rushed to Shen Rong's family, pointing at Changsheng angrily.

Changsheng was not completely stupid. Without waiting for Shen Rong and others to defend him, he shouted back, "I didn't beat anyone to death!"

Wang Dahu's mother had red and swollen eyes as she watched the commotion here. Nothing happened, so she just looked towards the direction of the cell with a sad face.

Although Wang Dahu never told her what her son had done, when she was washing clothes for her son that day, she found bloodstains on his sleeves.

At first she didn't think it was human blood, so she didn't take it seriously. But her son soon gave her a sum of money and soon got into a lawsuit. Wang Dahu's mother then realized that her son might have really done something illegal.

However, she never imagined that her son would actually beat someone to death, and the person was a friend he had grown up with.

Wang Dahu's mother couldn't understand why her son did that, but when she thought of the money, she slowly came up with the answer in her mind: it was all because of the money!
