After reading my mind, my father brought the whole family to marry into the family

Chapter 155 The whole village bears witness

His eyes were extremely dull, as if dead. Now he was being whipped, the whip hit his body, tearing his skin, flesh and bones, as if he was going to be beaten to death.

When Wang Geda saw the whip, he immediately became timid.

However, the county magistrate simply ordered a whip to hit him, and there was a loud snap, which was the sound of the whip hook entering the flesh.

It hurts, it really hurts, it’s so painful, all he could hear was Wang Geda letting out a cry.

His eyes were bloodshot and he was pinned to the ground.

"Wang Geda, let me ask you one more question. Did you kill Lin Xiaohua?"

The county magistrate's voice was like thunder, exploding in Wang Geda's ears. "Wang Geda, you must tell the truth, otherwise all these torture instruments can be used on you!" the county magistrate continued.

Wang Geda didn't expect that he just came to give false testimony, but he didn't expect that all the torture instruments would be used on him.

By the time the tenth whip was struck, Wang Geda had been beaten half to death.

He experienced all the tortures, and the pain was too much. "It's me, it's me!" He actually admitted it.

Widow Lin was so grief-stricken that she rode on Wang Geda like a madman. She was already dying, but Widow Wang was like a ferocious beast, her eyes full of hatred.

"You beast, you beast! You killed my daughter, you killed my daughter!"

Wang Geda was beaten so badly that he couldn't stand up, and the two officials did not send anyone to stop him.

After all, this Wang Geda is a real beast. He could really do such a thing to a little girl. If he isn't that, what is he?

What a beast! He is so inhumane that he actually attacked a little girl.

They also dumped the body into the river.

Widow Lin was beating him, while Wang Geda was shouting, "Sir, save me, save me!"

Those two adults were both kind and righteous people with chivalrous hearts. They saved him? Sorry, they didn't see it.

Since Wang Geda was found by the officials because of his own crime, who would believe what he said? After all, he had a criminal record. Would anyone believe what a person with a criminal record said?

Zhao Shi and He Juzheng tortured him again to ask him who had instructed him to do so.

They asked very detailed questions, such as who instructed him to give false testimony and say that Lin Caogen killed someone, whether he saw it with his own eyes, or whether he said it on purpose.

The torture instrument was going to be used on Wang Geda again, and this time he was completely obedient.

He was panting and unable to speak, just because he was beaten too hard. Sometimes a beating really makes people behave themselves.

Especially when such torture instruments were used on Wang Geda.

"Did you see it yourself?"

Lin Lingzhou and Old Lady Lin sensed the crisis of the situation. Something was wrong, all because of the variable Wang Geda.

It is true that Wang Geda is the reason for both his success and failure.

Wang Geda was beaten until he was out of breath.

Now, under the powerful aura of the two officials, how dare he tell lies?

"Sir. I did not see Lin Caogen set the fire. I did not! I gave false testimony!"

Everyone gasped.

Haha, they heard what Wang Geda said that he saw with his own eyes the roots of the spiritual grass ignite fire and kill the Lin family.

I had believed it, but now this Wang Geda is actually related to another murder case.

Who believes what he says?

So no one believed it at all.

Now everyone was quiet, just shouting: "The county magistrate is wise! The modern master is wise!"

It can be seen that there was a tone of compliment to the two officials in the words. They did not rashly conclude that Lin Caogen was the murderer, but instead used indirect methods to testify to the witnesses. They were truly a breath of fresh air in handling the case.

However, Lin Lingzhou noticed something different. These two counties, a county magistrate and a legal advisor, were clearly favoring Lin Caogen.

How could the grassroots people deserve their favor?

If they really wanted to solve the case, they would definitely torture Lin Caogen to extract a confession!

Now, he has turned into a demon who tortures Wang Geda to extract a confession, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

Lin Lingzhou couldn't help but kneel down, tears welling up in his eyes.

"But, it was obviously our family that went to the county town first, and my eldest brother's family went to the county town later, and there was such a long time between them, it must be my eldest brother and his family. He went to the county town after he lit the fire," Lin Lingzhou was sad. He only heard Zhao Shi and He Juzheng both nodded.

"If that's the case, then we should find some villagers to see if anyone has seen Lin Caogen enter Linjia Village, Xujia Village, or people from nearby villages. Since this matter is already on the verge of happening, we have to get to the bottom of it. We must get to the bottom of this matter."

"Believe it, Lin Lingzhou. As a scholar, we will not disappoint you."

However, he has now been disappointed by them.

After all, Lin Lingzhou is just a scholar.

Naturally, he did not dare to disobey the two masters, so he could only agree with them on the surface, but he did say to them with gritted teeth: "I will definitely listen to the two county masters and will do my best to cooperate with Lin Lingzhou."

There was reluctance in his words, but what could he do?

Zhao Shi and He Juzheng asked the people from Linjia Village, Xujia Village, and nearby Lijia Village and Wangjia Village to come for verification.

Let’s see if Lin Caogen went to Linjia Village.

After all, if he went there, there would be traces of everything, and it would be impossible for no one to see him. He couldn't just float in the air like a ghost.

Therefore, they began to visit and called people from several nearby villages.

Old Master Wu held a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth and counted with his fingers.

With his eyes fixed on Lin Lingzhou, he knew what the other party was up to.

At this time, everyone gathered.

People from Wangjia Village and Xujia Village said that they did not see Lin Caogen and his family go to Linjia Village.

Village Chief Xu laughed at that time: "This Lin Caogen is going to Linjia Village. Is he sick? He doesn't even look at how Old Lady Lin treats him. He is clearly asking for trouble! If he goes to Linjia Village, people from Wangjia Village will also come."

"Anyway, I didn't see this Lin Caogen go to Linjia Village. We only saw him and his family sitting in a carriage heading to the county town."

After all, if you go to the county town, you must first pass through Wangjia Village, which is right next to the county town. Even if you lie, all the lies will not be justified.

Then people from Lijia Village testified that Lin Caogen had indeed gone directly to the county town in a horse-drawn carriage.

The people in Linjia Village were afraid that they would be struck by lightning if they gave false testimony.

Didn’t Wang Geda already have a precedent?

What's more, Wang Geda was actually related to another murder case, and they seemed to be afraid of getting into trouble.

He had ulterior motives.

They glanced at Lin Lingzhou, and Lin Lingzhou smiled gently.

"Everyone, feel free to speak your mind. We must let all the gentlemen know the truth. Some truths cannot be buried, otherwise those good people will be wronged."

Lin Lingzhou's words were so high-sounding and righteous.

And it was so beautiful. His face was always as gentle as jade.
