I am Changsheng in Daqin

Chapter 31 Interrogation
County government.

Torture instruments have been set up in the cold lobby.

Two rows of government officials stood majestic and solemn, holding killing sticks.

Crunch!

The county government gate was closed.

The reason was that the case was too big to allow idlers to wait for the trial.

The people outside the door sighed - Li Qing is in danger this time!

boom!
The gavel was shot, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.

“Li Qing, from yesterday to now, this county has heard enough of your nonsense.

"When you get here, you have stepped into the gate of the King of Hell.

"Even if you have three heads and six arms, you can't escape even if you have wings!
"Have you seen those instruments of torture? They will serve you very comfortably. The feeling is much more comfortable than jumping around!"

boom!
There was another deafening sound, and the gavel almost shattered.

"Did you kill the wife's brother and the fat yamen servant in this county? Let's get them here."

Li Qing looked at the tendon-piercing clavicle hook and the red-hot iron on the side, and couldn't help but think of the costume drama he watched in his previous life.

He remembered that Xu Xian had that kind of iron hook pierced into his collarbone and died from the pain; and that branding iron was also a popular torture tool in the cell...

Those are all movies and TV shows.

But this is the real world, and those instruments of torture are real.

It would be a lie to say that Li Qing is not afraid at all.

But there’s no point in being afraid… wait a minute.

Li Qing suddenly thought of the situation when he fell from the jujube tree that day.

It was so crunchy when it fell!

The pain was minimal.

'At that time, I had just entered the state of cultivation and had not yet entered the level, but I already had copper skin and iron bones.

'As the saying goes, one moment and another moment, with the current level of 2+, I wonder what it would feel like to be burned with a soldering iron? '

Li Qing secretly thought about this and decided to continue to refuse to admit his guilt and fight to the end.

If you really have nothing to say, you can only look at the strength of this level 2+.

Li Qing smiled calmly and said: "As long as the county magistrate can produce enough evidence, let alone these two torture instruments, even if you delay me, I will not say a word."

The county magistrate sneered and said: "Okay, as expected of Li Tiesheng, you are a stubborn person. You won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Come here and present the evidence."

Mr. Jiang's butler came out from behind holding a small red wooden box.

Li Qing, the butler, had seen it before. He showed up when he was giving Lao Wang a haircut. His name was Du Kun.

Du Kun, on the order of the county magistrate, read out a part of the diary left by Mr. Jiang during his lifetime.

The log content is as follows——

[On that day, my servants sent ten bags of rice to Li's house on my orders.

At that time, the Li family had three daughters, Li Yuanshi, the youngest daughter of the Li family, and an unknown woman.

When the servants were carrying rice into the house, they came across some leftover bones under the stove.

Out of doubt, he quietly put it in his bag. After identification, it was the leg bone of a goshawk.

This eagle often appears in the Black Dog Ridge area.

The servant secretly asked the daughter of the Li family and learned the origin of the eagle.

He also told him that he had hunted with a slingshot, which proved that Li Qing had indeed been to Black Dog Ridge.

And my right eye was injured near Heigou Ridge, and the murder weapon was Tiezhu.

It was the same date as when Li Qing went to Black Dog Ridge, and even the time was almost the same.

This kind of iron bead must belong to the blacksmith and is extremely difficult for ordinary people to obtain.

After investigation, in Xincheng County, except for Li's iron shop, the other two iron shops did not have such a thing.

The most important thing is that I have found the same iron beads in Li's house.

For some reason, I couldn't get the iron beads I found.

Li Qing once said that he was not the only one who owned the Iron Pearl.

In order to prevent Li Qing from making excuses, his servants deliberately hid another eagle bone somewhere in Li Qing's house as ironclad evidence. 】

After Du Kun finished reciting, he put the cloth aside, took out the eagle bone from the box, and showed it to Li Qing.

Li Qing was dumbfounded and secretly regretted——

'What a great move to build the plank road openly and seduce Chen Cang secretly!

'Master Jiang, you are really dead and not stiff!

'This Xiaoyue, after chewing the bones, you can just throw them away. Why keep them?

'I also blame myself for not explaining everything in advance, and in the end it was a secret. '

The county magistrate stared at the eagle, gritted his teeth, and said:
"Li Qing, you can't afford to let my brother-in-law's right eye go blind.

"The iron bead that penetrated his skull came from your hand.

“This county knows that you have a sharp tongue and can deflect all responsibilities.

"But you must know this person, bring him here."

At this time, the groundhog was escorted into the lobby by two government officials.

Li Qing was shocked and his face turned pale.

"Li Qing, why are you here?" The groundhog didn't understand.

The county magistrate sneered and said, "Li Qing, why is your face so pale when you meet an old client? You're so excited now, and you won't be so excited later!"

If only based on the evidence left by Master Jiang, Li Qing might still have a chance to make a comeback.

After all, there are many flaws in the evidence.

But the appearance of the groundhog pushed Li Qing to the edge of the cliff, trying to turn the tide is as difficult as climbing the sky!
The county magistrate added: "This man named Marmot has purchased iron beads from you many times and can use the iron beads to the extreme. Who else would Xincheng County give you?"

At this time, Shi Lai reported: "Your Majesty, the cause and details of the death of the fat yamen servant have been revealed."

"Report quickly."

"Follow your orders." Ling Shi began:
"The fat yamen officer was killed by a sharp stone piercing his throat.

“Its speed and power are no less than those of a bow and arrow.

"It can be concluded from the shape of the wound that the stone came from the front of the fat yamen servant.

"Judging from the destructive power of the stone and the extent of damage caused when it penetrated the skin, it is estimated that the murderer was less than ten feet away from the fat government officer at the time.

"Sir, the above are all the results obtained by the villain."

The county magistrate waved his hand, signaling Shi to step aside temporarily.

"Li Qing, a small slingshot has been used to your advantage. It can both shoot eagles and kill people.

"Many evidences can prove that my wife's brother was injured and killed by you; the fat yamen officer was shot dead by you in the street in full view of the public. This time, let's see what else you have to say."

As soon as the county magistrate said this, someone suddenly came to report the case outside the hall——

"Master, Feng Liu from the coffin shop came to report the case." The gatekeeper came in to report.

The county magistrate said angrily: "Didn't you see that the case is being investigated in this county? Let him wait."

"My lord, he said it's a big case involving human life, and it's two lives."

The county magistrate was shocked and shouted: "So many people have died unexpectedly in the past two days. It's so weird that they pissed their pants!"

Li Qing's heart was shocked and he thought to himself: "It's so lively now, it's really happening again and again!" '

The county magistrate hesitated for a moment and then said: "Bring Feng Liu to the squad room first, and then we'll talk about it after the case is finished."

"Yes." The gatekeeper retired.

The magistrate looked at Li Qing, and returned to the subject: "Li Qing, the county has said so much just now, so you have nothing to say?"

"Don't worry, I'll listen to you first, and then I'll talk again when you've had enough."

Li Qing's heart was already in turmoil, but he pretended to be calm on the outside. After speaking, he stretched his body, sat directly on the ground, and put his hands behind his back to hammer his waist.

Seeing that Li Qing dared to despise the court, the county magistrate was furious: "Presumptuous!"

欻!
A sharp sound breaking through the air shocked Li Qing's eardrums.

Li Qing raised his eyes and saw that the Jingtang tree was spinning at lightning speed.

"Fuck!"

Li Qing leaned back reflexively, and the gavel flew past half a finger above his nose.

boom!
A loud bang.

Half of the gavel is deeply embedded in the large wooden door.

This scene shocked Li Qing.
