When Zhou Jia brought the accused back to the government office, he received the news that Li Yu had sent Tiezhu over. He locked Wang Chun and Liu Moyan in the prison of the government office and began the interrogation. Wang Chun looked at Zhou Jia and thought to himself, “This isn’t the first time I’m here. Who are you trying to scare? When the time comes, you’ll still obediently let me go.”
Wang Chun looked at the few of them and said arrogantly, “I was playing with my woman there. What right do you have to capture me?”
The constable kicked him and shouted, “This is the magistrate’s prison. If you don’t talk nicely, you’ll be punished.”
Zhou Jia looked at him without fear and thought to himself, According to the news brought by Yu’er, that woman might not be the first woman he killed. He shouted in a low voice, “Tell me! Who is that woman? How did you kill that woman?”
Wang Chun straightened his neck and said, “I spent a large sum of money to buy that bitch. Her life is mine. If I let her die, she has to die.”
Zhou Jia looked at his indifferent expression and said indifferently to the scribe, Zhao Zhiwen, “Let him sign his confession.”
Zhao Zhiwen walked up to him with the record and looked at Wang Chun. “Sign
Wang Chun looked at the scribe and sneered. “Why should I sign? I only said that I bought her. Her life is in my hands. I didn’t say that I killed that bitch. She was fine when I went out. Besides, I’m not the only one in the house. Who knows how she died? If you don’t believe me, ask Liu Yi.”
Zhao Zhiwen turned to look at Zhou Jia. Zhou Jia knew from Wang Chun’s expression that this was not the first time he had been arrested. Seeing his arrogant appearance, he knew that this guy had been arrested in the past. The officials of the magistrate’s office were oppressed by the Wang family’s power and no one dared to torture him.
Zhou Jia decided to let him experience the martial arts of the jailers in the government office. He sneered and glanced at the jailers who were restless at the side. He said to him, “Wang Chun, there’s concrete evidence that you killed that woman, but you still dare to quibble! Someone, bring him to the torture.”
When Wang Chun heard that he was going to punish him, he panicked and shouted, “If you dare, my father won’t let you off.”
Zhou Jia looked at him and instructed coldly, “Administer to him everything he used on that woman.’
“Yes, sir.” The jailer grabbed Wang Chun with a sinister smile and thought to himself that Lord Zhou had the authority of an official. He had long wanted to beat this dog up.
Watching the jailer take Wang Chun away, Zhou Jia thought to himself that the Wang family might have already received the news and would soon find a scapegoat. Liu Moyan, who was also captured today, was the best choice. He wondered what method the Wang family will use to force Liu Moyan to take responsibility for this matter alone.
“Someone, bring Liu Moyan up.” Liu Moyan was quickly brought up and knelt there with his head lowered in fear.
Zhou Jia looked at him and shouted, “Liu Moyan, who is that woman? How did you torture and kill that woman? Tell me honestly.”
Liu Moyan raised his head and looked ahead. He kowtowed and said, “Sir, I only know that the woman’s name is Chun Cao. Third Master bought her from the broker. I didn’t kill her. This is the first time I’ve come out to play with Third
Master.”
Zhou Jia asked coldly, “There were only you and Wang Chun at the scene. If you didn’t kill her, who did? ‘
Liu Moyan kept shaking his head. “Sir, I don’t know. It’s really not me.”
Zhou Jia knew from his expression that he would not give Wang Chun away without torture. He said to the jailer, “Take him away and torture him.”
In the Wang family, Wang Chun’s nanny and her husband had already arrived.
One of them went to see Old Madam Wang, and the other went to see Old Master Wang. Wang Chun’s nanny watched as Old Madam Wang told her about Liu Moyan and Wang Chun being captured by the government office.
When she heard this, she knelt at Old Madam Wang’s feet and kowtowed. “Old Madam, please spare Moyan. I’ll definitely discipline him strictly in the future and not let him lead Third Master astray.”
Old Madam Wang looked at her and said indifferently, “Wang, you’re the child of the Wang family and Third Brother’s nanny. You can’t just watch as the two children fall into jail, right?”
Old Madam Wang kowtowed and said, “Old Madam, Third Master was raised by me single-handedly. What do you want me to do?”
Old Madam Wang leaned back in her chair and looked down at Wang Chun’s nanny. “Someone will bring you to see your Moyan. You have to persuade him to admit that he killed Chun Cao and it has nothing to do with Third Brother. After this is done, I’ll return the deeds of your entire family to you and give you a manor in Xingfu Town. I remember you said last time that your youngest son is quite smart. After he’s out of slavery and has fertile land, you can change the fate of your family.”
“But Yan’er will die.” Wang Chun’s nanny looked up at Old Madam Wang and collapsed to the ground. Old Madam Wang looked at her and said, “You have to understand that even if your Moyan doesn’t admit it, we still have a way to exonerate Third Brother. Your MO Yan will still be imprisoned.”
“Old Madam, let me think about it.” she was conflicted. This was the future way out for the entire family, and it was her biological son she was going to sacrifice. Before she could decide, Old Master Wang came in from outside and said to Old Madam Wang, “Liu Changgen has already agreed.”
Old Madam Wang heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that. Old Madam Wang looked at Wang Chun’s nanny and said, “Leave! Someone will take you to the prison after dark.”
“Yes, Old Madam.” After Old Madam Wang left, she saw Liu Changgen at the entrance of the outer courtyard. The couple looked at each other miserably and walked out with their heads lowered.
After the jailer beat him with a whip dipped in salt water, Wang Chun cried and begged for mercy. “Stop beating. I’ll confess.”
The jailer spat at him. “You dog, you just tasted a salt water whip and you can’t take it anymore? A good girl was beaten to death by you!” After saying that, he felt that it was not enough to vent his anger. He whipped him twice more before reporting to Zhou Jia.
Wang Chun confessed that he had bought Chun Cao from the brokerage. After playing for a few days, he was tired of her and brought her to West City. He called Liu Moyan over to have fun with her and accidentally killed her. Liu Moyan confessed that Wang Chun fed Chun Cao Five Stone Powder and said that he wanted to see if the torture device he had just commissioned was exciting. When he was playing with Chun Cao with the torture device, Chun Cao suddenly screamed and bled non-stop. When Liu Yi came to check, Wang Chun asked him to clean up the blood inside while he went out to stop Liu Yi. Unexpectedly, a madam came and kicked him unconscious before bringing him back to the government office.
The few people who participated in the in terrogation felt their blood run cold when they heard that. Was he still human? Thinking about it, the evil ghosts in hell were only so-so! It would be unforgivable if they didn’t kill such a person. Zhou Jia got someone to find the remaining Five Stone Powder from the things they had confiscated and got Wang Chun and Liu Moyan to sign their confessions before locking the two of them in jail.
After Wang Qinghai found out, he sent the news back to the Wang family. Old
Master Wang went to the Four Seas Bank, and Second Master Wang went to the jailer, Pei Da. He took out two banknotes worth 20 taels and handed them to Pei Da. “Pei Da, do me a favor and let Liu Moyan’s family send something in.”
Pei Da glanced at the banknotes in Wang Zheng’s hand and shook his head. “Master Wang, you know that this is the first case that the magistrate has handled since he took office. If I let them in, I’ll be punished.”
Wang Zheng cursed in his heart. “Dog, don’t you think it’s too little? Haven’t you taken enough bribes while guarding the prison all these years?” “Tell me a number. How much silver do you need to agree to help me?”
Pei Da reached out his fingers and flipped them back and forth twice. Wang
Zheng looked at him and asked, “A hundred taels?”
Pei Da glanced at Wang Zheng from the corner of his eye and curled his lips. “A thousand taels. If I help you this time, I’ll definitely offend Lord Zhou. If Lord Zhou blames me, I’ll have to pack up and leave. Besides, I have to gather some brothers under me.”
Wang Zheng looked at Pei Da with a dark expression and said coldly, “You’re taking advantage of the situation.”
The more he thought about it, the more stingy he became. Pei Da mocked, “Everyone in Yunzhou knows that Master Wang’s silver is moldy in the cellar. A thousand taels, not a cent less.”
“Dog, just wait. I’ll deal with you sooner or later,” Wang Zheng muttered hatefully. He took out banknotes from his pocket and counted them to Pei Da.
After Pei Da counted them, he said to him, “Master Wang, remember, I’ll wait for you at the entrance of the prison at midnight.” Wang Zheng nodded and turned to pull open the door..
