Chapter 45 Interrogation of Meng Sanlang
Lady Meng asked: "You must be surprised why I would make such a proposal, right?"
The pine nuts and pine cones nodded in unison, then quickly shook their heads.
Lady Meng chuckled: "I am not Meng Sanlang's daughter at all, and I have nothing to do with him. To be honest, I only learned the truth recently. My mother and Meng Sanlang were childhood sweethearts. He fell in love with my mother, but my mother He only regarded him as the brother next door, and he had his own sweetheart. Later, after my mother and father got married, they had me, but Meng Sanlang was in the same family. He came to my house drunk at night and harassed my mother. When they were arguing, they knocked over an oil lamp and started a fire. Meng Sanlang was so frightened that he ran away and ran into the fire, but failed to save my mother. I was rescued by myself. Later, in order to take care of my mother’s death, my father entrusted me to Meng Sanlang’s care.”
At this point, Mrs. Meng was so angry that she coughed. With her face full of anger, she stepped forward and kicked Meng Sanlang in the abdomen: "This hateful bastard not only concealed the crimes he committed, but also took me to escape quietly. Poor! My father just lost his wife and daughter. He was so mentally damaged that he went crazy for many years.”
Mrs. Meng shed another two lines of clear tears, and her expression softened: "I hate him, he has ruined my family. But on the other hand, he has taken good care of me over the years. I don't know what his psychology is, but I It was true that I was not harmed, and I was even allowed to read and learn calligraphy, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even a wealthy man. The young man in my family took a fancy to me. Not only did Meng Sanlang not agree to hand me over, he even started a fight with the man in the street. He later suffered a physical and physical pain and had to pay the young man a lot of medical expenses. There are also rumors that he broke up with the person I love, but in fact he is a lustful bastard.”
Ji Yutang was also shocked by such a surprising past event. She digested it secretly for a moment, and finally understood why the system said that Mrs. Meng disliked and even hated Meng Sanlang, but had no way to retaliate. After all, before Mrs. Meng knew the truth, Meng Sanlang was a loving father in her mind, a loving father who was willing to risk his life for the safety of his daughter. But after learning the whole truth, such a family relationship based on lies is disgusting.
Ji Yutang handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and helped her sort out the context of the incident: "So before you learned about his life experience, you just thought that Meng Sanlang was a father who made mistakes. After discovering that he abducted the young lady, , you are very entangled, begging You hated him, but you couldn't bear to retaliate against him, so you made him feel uncomfortable by committing suicide and pretending to be crazy. Not long ago, you learned about your life experience, so now Meng Sanlang is your enemy, so you proposed to torture him. Right? ”
"Yes. How could I be so stupid? Fortunately, I regarded him as my closest relative and helped him conceal the crime of abducting and selling young ladies. Now I feel that my hands are also stained with sin, and I am also a victim. If I had revealed this earlier, so many families would not have been harmed.”
Ji Yutang comforted her: "You are also a victim. Don't push yourself too hard. You have done well enough. If you hadn't secretly recorded the list of abducted young ladies and asked Hong'er to find an opportunity to reveal it, then I wouldn't If found, Meng Sanlang cannot be convicted.”
"Yes, yes, Mrs. Meng, please stop crying. Hey, let's have some fun. Aren't we going to interrogate this old bastard? Come on, let's go see what kind of torture tools there are in the woodshed and use them on him. I'm going to give Lady Meng some bad breath!" Song Zi comforted her.
Mrs. Meng felt better and kicked the unconscious Meng Sanlang again.
Ji Yutang suddenly thought of something and asked her: "By the way, what is your father's last name?"
"The surname is Chen."
"Then we should call you Mrs. Chen." Ji Yutang smiled, "Now that I know my life experience, I won't bear this old bastard's surname. It's so strange."
Madam Chen was stunned for a moment, and then she also laughed: "Yes, my surname is Chen, please call me Madam Chen!"
Songzi quickly cooperated: "Yes, Mrs. Chen, which torture instrument should we use first?" He said that he wanted to try the torture instruments in the woodshed one by one. In fact, Songzi only picked up the second instrument, and Meng Sanlang was already frightened. I'm pissed off.
Meng Sanlang was firmly locked on a stool full of iron thorns, and watched helplessly as Songzi jumped up and down excitedly in the woodshed. The more excited Songzi is, the more scared he becomes.
"Hey, this torture tool is the legendary red plum, right? The book says that this red plum is a thin needle made of a hard ore. This needle is not only extremely thin and tough, but also has many invisible threads hidden in it. Prick it through a person's fingertips, and the needle tip will bring those threads entangled in the flesh and blood. , the needle will break, and countless fine threads will be entangled in the flesh and blood, which is extremely itchy and painful, and it is impossible to pull it out. The most amazing thing is that it can't be seen from the outside, only the fingertips. It has a little red mark on it, so it’s called a little red plum.” Songzi’s eyes were bright, and you could tell that he wanted to try it.
Meng Sanlang was so frightened that he cried: "Sir, please don't use that thing. Please, I said it, I said it all."
"Then go ahead and explain everything and everyone you know. Otherwise, hum, the torture tools here are very convenient." Ji Yutang sneered and motioned to Songzi to record the confession.
Songzi said "Oh", looked at the red plum a few times, and reluctantly went to find pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Mrs. Chen was placed behind a screen, accompanied by Song Guo, in order to let her check whether what Meng Sanlang said was true.
Meng Sanlang didn't know all this. He said: "It all started two years ago. I was just a salesman walking around the streets, raising a sick daughter. Because the family's expenses were too high, I left. The business in the street could no longer support me, so I decided to take a side trip and go to the casino to play a few games. I won a lot of money at first, but then I kept losing. In the end, I owed a hundred taels of silver from the compound interest. ”
At this point, Meng San felt regretful: "A hundred taels of silver! I can't afford to pay back all the money I've saved over the years! The people at the casino said that if I can't pay back, I'll mortgage my daughter to them. , how could I agree? That is my heart, my most beloved daughter.”
Hearing this, Ji Yutang felt like vomiting. If he hadn't known the truth, he would have been fooled.
"Come on, stop acting and keep talking." Ji Yutang said impatiently.
Meng Sanlang was stunned for a moment, wondering why she wasn't moved at all.
"Why are you so stunned! Go on, do you hear me?" Song Zi slammed the table.
