The wicked female cannon fodder has arrived home

"Have you found the money?"

As soon as he saw the person being dragged back, Dou Zhengyi stared at Su Peicai anxiously and asked.

No one cared about the thief lying on the ground.

Su Peicai shook his head with a pale face.

"I don't know who stole it."

Such a long time has passed, it’s gone long ago!

It was already dawn and there were so many people working, who knows which villager had taken it away.

However, this villager is also a fool. He took the money but didn't kill the person. Instead, he left the person alive. Isn't this just asking for trouble?

"Ask him! He must know."

Dou Zhengyi slammed the gavel and pointed at the thief who was lying like a dead dog in the hall, and shouted angrily.

"Where's the money? Where did it go?"

The thief looked confused...

???

What money?

Wasn't he arrested for breaking into a house and killing someone?

What does it have to do with money?

Dou Zhengyi had long forgotten about the house arrest powder that Bai Zhi mentioned, and all he had in his mind was the 800 taels of silver.

"You won't say anything! Good! You are so stubborn, let me see if I can pry your mouth open! Take you out and give you 20 lashes first."

The thief collapsed on the ground like a dead dog, motionless. He wanted to say something excitedly, but no sound came out. He couldn't even open his mouth.

He hasn't been able to open his mouth or legs since night time!

Dou Zhengyi slammed the gavel angrily, and the yamen runners below actively swung their sticks and hit him.

The thief was beaten with 20 boards, but he still couldn't open his mouth or stretch his legs like a dead dog.

Dou Zhengyi's mind was filled with the eight hundred taels.

"Will you tell me? Tell me now! Where did the 800 taels of silver go?"

Jin Tiantian then slowly reminded him.

"My Lord, he can't speak now. He has been numbed by the house arrest powder and can't move!"

Dou Zhengyi was stunned for a moment. Oh, he had forgotten about this!

The thief looked like he was about to cry.

"..."

His butt hurts so much, these twenty strokes of the cane are so unfair!

What is going on with this money? Can you explain it clearly?

He really doesn't know what money is.

If he was asked to confess, he would have done it quickly. In order to avoid physical pain, he didn't say he wouldn't confess. So why did you beat him first?

Jin Tiantian raised her eyes and looked at the thief.

"My Lord, this thief is so rampant that he actually killed my mother just for the cake business!"

She remembered that when she and Liu Xiu'e were lying on the same kang, two thieves attacked them at the same time.

It seemed as if he wanted to chop off my hand, and he did it without hesitation.

She knew that the two thieves would attack her hands first.

Fortunately, she was saved by Bai Zhi, but Liu Xiu'e could not escape the disaster. Her hand was chopped off and she was stabbed in the carotid artery, dying instantly.

This act of evil and cruelty does not seem like kidnapping, and the way he killed people seems like there is some deep hatred between them.

If she had to talk about who she had grudges against, there were only two people she could think of, and that was Yu Gong Fang and Boss Jin's family, whom she had offended recently!

She has always been kind to others in Xiaohe Village. The villagers treat her well, at least on the surface. Even if they are jealous of her wealth, they will not easily kill her.

At most, they are sarcastic and mean, and they are said behind one's back.

Even if someone is thief-minded and is after money, even if he intends to kill someone for money, he shouldn't chop off their hands, right? The first blow should be fatal.

Especially the act of chopping off her hands made her intuitively think of Yugongfang!

Hands are used for work. How can you make pastries if your hands are chopped off?

There was a glimmer of cunning in Jin Tiantian's eyes, and she was planning to trick the thief.

"You, Yu Gong Fang, actually want to kill me for business. Look at your companion, he was tortured and forced to confess, and now he is unconscious and doesn't know whether he is alive or dead."

"If you also want to experience this physical pain, then you can keep your mouth shut. Anyway, the Lord of Heaven will judge for my dead mother."

When the thief was dragged in, he saw his companion being beaten to a state of misery.

He had already been prepared for the other party's move.

He was confident about confessing.

If you ask him to, he will confess, and he will confess voluntarily, but he won't even be beaten with these sticks. Isn't he asking for trouble?

Anyway, if you want to save your life, you have to rely on the momentum above, and you still have to surrender after the fight.

And the person in charge of the Imperial Tribute House must also be called out.

In this way, the manager can take action to protect them.

There was no need for him to take this beating in vain.

But what frightened him was his current situation. He couldn't open his mouth, stretch his legs, or move his whole body.

When he fell into the hands of the county magistrate, he didn't even have a chance to fight back and was beaten with a stick.

So angry!

He has the Crown Princess in charge, so can the Imperial Tribute Square be easily moved?

He is from Yugongfang and works for Yugongfang.

What kind of dirty things has he not done, and every time he has managed to get away with it, still living at large?

What’s the big deal about killing one person?

Moreover, the deceased was a poor commoner without any background, so it was even more impossible to kill him easily.

Yugongfang will protect him!

Jin Tiantian's continuous bombardment and deception.

"Were you sent by Yu Gong Fang to kill me? Just to destroy my hand and prevent me from continuing to make a living? Everyone knows who you are. The judge is questioning you just for the sake of formality. You'd better confess quickly! Otherwise, you'll be punished with a stick!"

"If you blink three times in succession, it will be considered a confession, and you will be spared the physical pain."

Although the thief couldn't open his mouth, his expression showed some disdain and he blinked three times.

That’s right, he’s just a small county magistrate, how dare he go against the Crown Princess?

Dou Zhengyi was wondering when he had tortured the man into confessing.

He really beat someone, but that person was unconscious when he arrived. When did he confess?

No chance to confess...

Jin Tiantian pointed at the thief with an angry look on her face and looked at the stunned Dou Zhengyi.

"Master Qingtian, you see he has admitted it. I tricked him into revealing the truth. He was the one who killed people and stole the treasure! The 800 taels of silver were stolen by them. Since there is no money on him, let's go to the Imperial Tribute Shop to get the silver back."

At this moment, Dou Zhengyi was no longer in a daze, his eyes were no longer wandering, and he had found the target.

Hey!

Was it done by Yugongfang?

It turned out that the Imperial Tribute House stole 800 taels of silver from him?

"Great! Yugongfang! Too bold. Even though it is the property of the Crown Princess, you can't go too far, right?"

"They are so blatantly doing illegal things, robbing money and killing people. What are they trying to do? Is there any law?"

The emperor is far away and the sky is high. Even he cannot reach Daxiling, let alone a crown princess. If there is no conflict of interest, everything can be discussed. You can give her face, show her respect, and do her a favor.

This would create a conflict of interest, and if he had evidence of my guilt, I would be in a very bad situation.

That's 800 taels for emergency.

Not only can he get back the 800 taels of silver, but if the case is handled well, he can also get some benefits from the Imperial Tribute Square. Just shut up and do a favor!
