Chapter 534: If You Continue to Deny, You Will Be Punished by Shaking
Chapter 534: If you continue to deny, you will be tortured by hanging
Now that both witnesses and material evidence were available, Zheng Tong, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, angrily asked Yin whether she was willing to honestly plead guilty and sign her name.
As the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, Zheng Tong certainly hoped that the criminal would confess his crime and be punished as soon as possible.
However, Leng Rongyue, who was sitting aside at this time, was thinking exactly the opposite.
With witnesses and material evidence, as well as the signed confessions of Leng Xian, Old Yin, Leng Yixing and Leng Yiyang, are you still afraid that you can't convict Yin?
Therefore, Leng Rongyue was not eager to see Yin sign and confess her guilt, but rather hoped to see Yin desperately deny it, so that Yin would suffer more punishment before her death...
As the one who is living this life in place of the original owner, I can also vent my anger and hatred for the original owner and her daughter!
Therefore, it would be better for Yin to deny it for a while longer and not confess the guilt too quickly.
Yin really did not disappoint Leng Rongyue.
She lay on the ground, clenched her teeth, propped up her upper body, and looked straight at Zheng Tong, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture.
"Sir, are you going to force me to confess these unfounded charges?"
"False accusation?
Is it really groundless?
Everyone's confession, witnesses and physical evidence have confirmed it. Is there any point in you denying it alone?"
Zheng Tong was calm and composed, neither anxious nor impatient.
Yin denied it verbally, but she was furious inside!
"Sir, are these two the witnesses you are talking about?"
Yin pointed at Lu Huai and Qian, “I only admit that I know them.
One of them used to be a servant of the young lady, but he stole her gold and silver jewelry and ran away from home, and then disappeared.
As for this man named Lu Huai, he was indeed invited into the mansion to treat the late lady.
But after the consultation, he left and I haven’t seen him since.”
"is it?
hehe……"
Zheng Tong sneered and said, "You said Qian was a runaway slave who stole your gold and silver jewelry?"
"That's right, sir!"
Yin replied in a trembling voice.
“Well, you said that Qian was a runaway slave from the Marquis of Qinxing’s mansion, and I will listen to you for now.
So what did she steal from you back then?
Why are there no relevant records in the government?
Why didn't the Marquis of Qinxing report to the authorities to capture the escaped slaves?"
Yin was suddenly asked by Zheng Tong, and she was stunned for a moment, and then she answered with a twinkling look in her eyes: "Qian...she has served me for several years after all;
The young woman, thinking of their old relationship, did not want to pursue the matter any further, and so she...she...did not report her to the police.
What she stole was... a red gold and pearl phoenix-shaped hairpin;
And... and a pair of South China pearl earrings, and... and a pair of... a pair of emerald bracelets."
"Oh?
Yeah? "
Zheng Tong raised his eyebrows.
"Yin, don't you think before you lie?
Or is it that I am making it up at this moment and don't have time to think about it?
Regardless of whether you have lost such valuable jewelry, you can consider the "old feelings" and not pursue the matter;
You said Qian stole your red gold pearl phoenix-shaped hairpin and south pearl earrings?
And a pair of emerald bracelets?
Yeah? "
When the prefect Zheng Tong asked this, how could Yin answer but "yes".
"hehe……
Just based on your previous status as a member of the Yin family;
Based on your status as a concubine...
Are you qualified to own and wear a red gold and pearl phoenix-shaped hairpin?
Are you qualified to wear South Pearl earrings?
And the emerald bracelet?
That thing...does your Yin family have it?
The things you mentioned were clearly listed in the dowry list of the late wife...
It’s amazing that you remember it so clearly!”
The sarcasm in Zheng Tong's tone should not be too obvious.
"You just said that Qian stole your valuable jewelry...
My late wife should still be alive at that time!
These precious jewellery...how did they become yours?
Or... you have long coveted the dowry of the late wife;
Have you already regarded the late wife's dowry as your own?
Yin, think about it before you answer. The gold and silver jewelry you mentioned was stolen by Qian...
Is it yours after all?
Or the first lady's?"
"Yes Yes……"
Before Yin could think of a reply, the gavel in the hall rang...
"Sly woman Yin!
The facts and evidence are right in front of you, but you are still hoping for the best and trying to get away with it by denying the crime. You are really dreaming!
I don't have time to listen to your denials.
I will ask you one last question, do you want to confess or not?"
"Sir, you... you are clearly setting a trap in your question!
If you want to accuse someone of something, you can always find a pretext for it! "
Yin was still being stubborn.
Because she knew too well what she had done.
She also knew that once she confessed, she would be dead!
But she wanted to live.
She thought that if she just gritted her teeth and refused to confess, she could live;
Every day she doesn't confess, she can live one more day.
When death is imminent, the desire to live becomes particularly strong.
Especially someone as extremely greedy as Yin.
Faced with life and death, she is just as greedy for life!
Prefect Zheng Tong lost his patience and slammed the gavel heavily, "What a shrew!
Since you refuse to confess, don't blame me for continuing to torture you!
come!
Bring the pliers to the hall and pinch Yin's fingers!"
As the prefect Zheng Tong finished speaking, the yamen runners on both sides walked towards Yin with torture instruments in hand.
Seeing the torture device in the yamen runner's hand, Yin subconsciously shrank back to the ground;
Yin clenched her hands into fists and pressed them under her body;
It seems that hiding one's hands in this way can help one avoid torture.
