Chapter 137 Half Buried
With Xiaotao's encouragement, Daya has become a backbone despite her young age.
"Master, my name is Wang Daya!"
"Do you know why I called you here?"
Li Weiguang's question stunned Daya, who obviously didn't understand, so she had to look at Xiaotao again.
"Master, you are asking such a little girl such a difficult question. What should she say?"
Xiao Tao was obviously confused by Li Weiguo's words and retorted dissatisfiedly.
At this time, a man squeezed into the front of the yamen, guarded in front and behind. It was obvious that the man was of extraordinary status.
Li Weiguang looked up and saw that it was Zhao Sheng who came.
He stood up and was about to go forward to greet him, but the other party made a move to stop him, so he had to stay focused on the case.
"Okay, I get it. I just want to ask Wang Daya if she knows why she was summoned to the court."
After Li Weiguang sat down, he used the simplest language to translate what he had just said.
"Master, I don't know what happened. I was brought here by the doctor."
"Well, if you don't know, then you don't know. Just answer my questions, understand?"
"I understand!" Wang Daya answered timidly.
"You were taken away yesterday. Why were you taken away?"
When Li Weiguang asked Wang Daya about what happened last night, tears welled up in her eyes. People present could see that Daya was feeling aggrieved.
"Yesterday, yesterday..." Wang Daya choked up as she spoke, "Yesterday, my younger brother set my hair on fire. Later, an uncle rescued me, but he still insisted on burning me to death with a torch..."
At this point, those present who were unaware of the situation exclaimed in surprise, thinking: How cruel!
"And then?" Li Weiguo felt that the opening was good and the outcome would definitely be even more exciting.
"Then I was sent to the infirmary for treatment."
"that's it?"
"that is it!"
After Wang Daya finished speaking based on the actual situation, Li Weiguang thought for a moment and said, "Tell the doctor who treated the patient at the Luancheng Clinic yesterday to come in for questioning."
The county magistrate ran out immediately.
After a while, a man who looked like a doctor came.
The visitor's surname is Xu, his given name is Lingjun, and his courtesy name is Fan. He is the attending physician of Luancheng Medical Clinic and also a specially appointed staff member of the Princess's Mansion.
"Doctor Xu, please tell me about your treatment of Wang Daya yesterday!"
Xu Lingjun was about forty years old, tall and thin, but unlike other doctors, he did not have a beard. He wore a long gown and stood in the lobby with his hands behind his back, looking like an immortal.
"Last night, Captain Liang brought a girl to me. I noticed she was emitting a burnt smell, and half of her hair was burnt off. Upon examination, I discovered she had multiple external injuries, and it had been several days since..."
He described Wang Daya's illness in detail as if it were his own treasure. Everyone inside and outside the county government office was filled with righteous indignation and cursed this heartless person.
Wang Changqing, who was originally standing in the lobby, suddenly felt his eyes go dark, his legs went weak and he fell down.
The long-accumulated dissatisfaction and anger, at this moment, my heart seemed to have lost something.
When flash floods accumulate momentum and burst forth, they often cause the greatest damage.
Although he was unwilling, after listening to Xu Lingjun's introduction, as a scholar, he knew in his heart that he would probably have no place to stay in Luancheng in the future.
The ancients paid great attention to reputation and integrity, and scholars valued it even more.
Some scholars kill for their reputation, which is more terrifying than bandits!
The officials in the county government office and the audience, except for the fools, everyone understood what was going on.
The Wang family in Nanliu Village abused a child, and when his life was hanging by a thread, the prince consort passed by and rescued him in time.
I didn't investigate it further, but the old lady of the Wang family was seeking death and causing this incident. I'm afraid the county magistrate will not be able to let it go.
"Hey! Now that things have come to this, old lady, shouldn't you explain who instructed you to do such a ridiculous thing?"
When Li Weiguang slammed the gavel, everyone present regained their composure and wanted to see who was behind the scenes.
"Master, I don't know them, but I know they're rich. They gave me two hundred taels and said..."
The mischievous old lady of the Wang family stopped talking at this point.
"What else did you say? Tell me quickly..." He left the words half-finished, which was indeed a bit suspenseful.
"They said it was just a simple matter of getting their granddaughter back. At most, they would give us a beating with a stick. They could even buy a life for 200 taels. As long as we were willing, the money would be ours."
"What a family that values money over life. I wonder if you want to harm your Dalang."
Li Weiguang could see that this mischievous old lady would cheat anyone she caught, and she probably cheated her husband many times when she was young.
The bailiff came over at this time and whispered a few words in Li Weiguang's ear.
"The Wang family's old lady and Wang Laoshi, the parties involved, are being held in custody. The rest of the Wang family will return first and will be summoned shortly."
After the bang of the gavel, the county government office closed its doors and everyone left and went home.
"My Lord, you said this was done by someone from the Lu family?"
"Someone discovered that Rwanda from the Lu family had been to the Wang family, and he brought a servant with him. Unfortunately, Rwanda had already escaped, and the servant was captured!"
After Zhao Sheng finished speaking, he gestured for the person to be brought over.
Mao Wang brought in a man with him. His face was covered in bruises and his lips were turned outward. It looked like he had been beaten badly.
"Can't you be a little gentler? Does this guy even know martial arts?"
"Sir, it's not that we want to beat him, nor is it that he knows martial arts. It's just that he's too bold and keeps cursing people all the time. As a result, the Lu family is the one who sits in the court today."
"Oh, are there still people so tough these days?"
After hearing this, Zhao Sheng also perked up. He had learned a lot about interrogation in the mercenaries, and he had hidden a lot of quick and convenient methods.
"Did he confess? Who ordered them to do it? And why did he stay while others ran away?"
A series of questions have not yet received a response.
"Pa pa!" Two more slaps, but the person being caught still didn't say anything.
"Forget it. Those who don't speak are as good as dead. But we can't get bloody. Go ahead and dig a hole in the yard."
"Okay, my Lord, I promise to bury this person so deep that there will be no end to him."
"I said bury it. Who said not to leave the head?" Zhao Sheng pretended to be angry and said, "Find a place with an ant nest, preferably white ants."
"My Lord, what are you doing this for?"
"No big deal. Just remember to poke a hole in his lung tube so the ants can crawl in and make a nest in his heart, liver, spleen, and lungs."
When the captured person heard this, he shuddered all over, as if he could feel ants crawling on his heart, liver, spleen and lungs.
"Keep his head out to prevent him from suffocating. Pour the dog food on his face so the dog can lick it easily..."
"My Lord, our dog doesn't eat food, it eats..."
Before he could finish his words, someone started to retch.
What can their dog eat? It can't be rice, right?
The captured servant of the Lu family was devastated. The prince consort was said to be a decent man and nothing would be done to him. Even if he went to jail, the Lu family would ensure that they had a good life in the rest of their lives.
But now it’s very difficult for me to get through this stage!
