On the school field, the arrow on Wang Baokun's body had been removed and the wound had been simply bandaged.
Two officers were busy tying Wang Baokun to a pillar, while Su Liangcai was also being guarded aside.
There are desks on the north side of the scene. Cai Xinghai and Lin Quan are sitting side by side during the trial. There is a small desk on one side and a special recorder sitting behind them.
Originally it was just a simple identification, but Zhao Yanxun simply turned it into a trial scene in order to reveal the truth as soon as possible.
After taking a look at the dark clouds in the sky, Lin Quan couldn't help but say: "Master Cai, hurry up and start...it will rain soon!"
A gust of wind blew, making the building full of rain, and Cai Xinghai knew not to waste time.
"Su Liangcai, look carefully...is this the food that this person transported that day?"
In fact, Su Liangcai had carefully recalled it from the moment he met Wang Baokun, and he could naturally confirm it at this moment.
Only Su Liangcai said firmly: ""Report to your lord, this is the person!"
Seeing the clerk on the side starting to record, Cai Xinghai asked coldly: "Wang Baokun, do you know your guilt?"
Although he was hit by two arrows, his vital parts were not injured, so Wang Baokun is very conscious now.
But when Cai Xinghai asked, Wang Baokun didn't pay attention at all. What else should a dying person have to fear?
"Wang Baokun, reply!"
Cai Xinghai's scolding had no effect, and Wang Baokun even closed his eyes.
Lin Quan, who was standing on one side, said: "Let's give him twenty lashes first!"
Lin Quan is not as rational and procedural as Cai Xinghai. To him, extraordinary means are just routine means, and he doesn't think twice when he needs to use them.
None of Cai Xinghai's men took action, but Lin Quan's men were also present. After obeying the order, they immediately found whips from the school grounds.
"Eunuch Lin..."
Cai Xinghai wanted to dissuade him, but Lin Quan stared at him and said in a cold tone: "Master Cai, the prince is still waiting!"
Cai Xinghai was speechless.
Not only Zhao Yanxun was waiting, but the two chief historians and the two cardinal envoys were also waiting in the Jinshen Hall at this moment.
The sound of whipping could be heard in the school grounds. Wang Baokun was also a ruthless person, but at this moment he stood still and remained silent.
The twenty lashes were quickly finished, but the man remained silent, which made Lin Quan very embarrassed.
"Give him another twenty lashes, and we'll see how tough this guy can be!" Lin Quan said with a dark face.
"Wait a minute..." Cai Xinghai said in a serious tone.
"What do you think Mr. Cai has to say?" Lin Quan asked sadly.
"You can't just beat someone to death!"
After saying that, Cai Xinghai ignored Lin Quan, but looked forward and said: "Wang Baokun, you knew you were going to die, so you didn't say a word..."
"But do you only think about yourself? You have an old mother, wife and children at home. Don't you think about them?"
"You didn't say a word and defied the law. If you die, it will be over, but your family will still have to live!"
These words finally had some effect, and Wang Baokun slowly opened his eyes.
"Even if you don't say it, someone else will say it. Do you want others to say your sins?"
Cai Xinghai's next words were even more subtle. They were tantamount to warning Wang Baokun that if he didn't say anything, others would put the blame on him.
People in the world worry not about scarcity but about inequality. Wang Baokun believed that he would die, but he did not want to see Li Lin put the blame on himself in order to survive.
"My lord, I am guilty!" Wang Baokun said slowly.
"Now that you are aware of your guilt, you should tell the truth, tell it exactly as it is!" Cai Xinghai's tone slowed down.
Seeing that Cai Xinghai's words had an effect, Lin Quan had to admit that this guy did have some abilities.
The wind blew on Wang Baokun's face, making him sober again, and all the previous scenes appeared in front of his eyes.
After seeing the dark clouds in the sky, Lin Quan looked to his side and said, "Go get an umbrella, and get one for Mr. Cai!"
"On March 25th, I was ordered to escort one hundred dan of grain out of the city. The destinations were three places!"
"Although these three places are relatively close to each other, there are no road links between them, so we can only go there in three groups..."
"In order to ensure that the food is delivered on time, I ordered my subordinates to escort them separately..."
"The Jiayou team is located in the most remote area, so I personally took Li Lin to escort the food!"
At this time, Cai Xinghai asked: "Is the food you escorted to the Jiayou team thirty dan?"
"Yes...and no!"
"What does this mean?"
"Li Lin and I escorted the grain and rushed to the place where the Jiayou team worked. Unexpectedly, the axle broke halfway and we had to stop to repair the car!"
For a cart full of grain, the most easily damaged part is the axle, so a spare is always carried with you, and it is easy to replace.
"In order to repair the car, we had to take the grain out of the car first, and then put it back after repairing it, so it was delayed for more than half an hour!"
"We walked all the way, but unexpectedly we couldn't find a yard where we could rest. It was getting dark, so we had to find a random house to rest!"
Cai Xinghai and Lin didn't speak anymore. At this time, someone had brought umbrellas and held them above their heads.
"That night, we had dinner and rested, but when we woke up the next morning, we found that... half of the food was missing!"
Half of the food was missing. Presumably the gap of fifteen kilo of food was also caused by this.
Cai Xinghai originally thought that someone was greedy, and he followed this idea to investigate and found nothing, but how could he have thought that it had disappeared.
"You mean the food was lost?"
"yes……"
"Since it was lost, why didn't you report it?"
"Sir, we were escorting the grain, but we did not find a location or arrange sentries as required by the palace. Losing the grain is a serious crime. How dare you report it!"
At this time, Lin Quan said: "Just tell me, if you encounter a monster attack and lose food, isn't it okay?"
Wang Baokun smiled bitterly: "Monsters attack, but monsters don't ask for food. Fifteen stones of food is not a small amount. The palace will definitely send someone to find it. How will we get the job when the time comes?"
The zombies don't ask for food, which means that this is caused by humans. This means that there are still some living people in Yuanyang Mansion who have not submitted to the palace.
"Since someone is stealing food, why only half of it?"
"The stolen cart of grain was farther away from the house where we slept. The remaining cart of grain was parked at the door where we slept!"
The process seemed to be explained clearly, and finally Cai Xinghai asked: "How did you forge the receipt?"
Looking at Su Liangcai standing aside, Wang Baokun said calmly: "We did not forge the receipt, the one he signed is genuine!"
"Fart, the receipt I signed is obviously for fifteen dan!"
"It's just that what you see is fifteen stones. We wrote "fifteen" on the receipt. After you sign it, we will take it off again. When you hand it back, it will still be thirty stones!"
"We were so busy at the time that we didn't ask you to check the receipt carefully. You signed it as soon as you saw that the numbers matched!"
Now that the truth was revealed, Su Liangcai didn't know whether to cry or laugh. He had been deceived by these stinky gangsters.
The facts before them also surprised Cai Xinghai and Lin Quan. Who could have imagined that it would be such a process.
There are still things that can be dug out, but obviously now is not the time. They have to go to Jinshen Palace to report the situation.
At this moment, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by rumbles of thunder.
"Master Cai, it's time to go to the audience!"
Cai Xinghai nodded and immediately ordered: "Put the prisoner in jail and try again at another date!"
At this time, Su Liangcai hurriedly asked: "Master Cai, can I go home now?"
"Since you are not guilty, go home first and wait for summons at any time!"
