The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 387 On Trial
On the school field, the arrow on Wang Baokun's body had been removed, and the wound was simply bandaged.

Two guards were busy tying Wang Baokun to the pillar, while Su Liangcai was also being guarded aside.

On the north side of the scene, there was a desk. Cai Xinghai and Lin Quan were sitting side by side. There was a small desk on one side, and a special recorder was sitting behind it.

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.

Glancing at the dark clouds in the sky, Lin Quan couldn't help but say, "Lord Cai, let's start quickly...it's going to rain soon!"

A gust of wind blew, and it seemed like the mountain was about to rain, and the building was full of wind, Cai Xinghai knew not to waste time.

"Su Liangcai, look carefully...is it the grain that this person shipped that day?"

In fact, from the moment he met Wang Baokun, Su Liangcai had carefully recalled it, so he can naturally confirm it now.

Only after listening to Su Liang was he able to say firmly: ""Return to my lord, it is this person! "

Seeing the clerk at the side start to record, Cai Xinghai asked coldly: "Wang Baokun, are you convicted?"

Although he received two arrows, he didn't hurt his vitals, so Wang Baokun is very conscious now.

But when Cai Xinghai questioned him, Wang Baokun didn't pay attention at all. There is nothing to be afraid of a dying person.

"Wang Baokun, call back!"

Cai Xinghai's scolding didn't work, Wang Baokun even closed his eyes.

Lin Quan, who was on one side, said: "Slap him twenty lashes first!"

Lin Quan is not as reasonable and procedural as Cai Xinghai. For him, extraordinary means are routine means, and he doesn't think too much about using them when needed.

None of Cai Xinghai's servants moved, but some of Lin Quan's subordinates were also present. After listening to the order, they immediately found whips from the school grounds.

"Eunuch Lin..."

Cai Xinghai wanted to dissuade him, but was stared at by Lin Quan, and said in a cold tone: "Lord Cai, the prince is still waiting!"

Cai Xinghai was speechless immediately.

It wasn't just Zhao Yanxun who was waiting, but the two chief historians and the two Shu envoys were all waiting in the Jinshen Hall at the moment.

The sound of whipping only sounded in the school grounds. Wang Baokun is also a ruthless person, but at this moment he stiffened and didn't say a word.

The twenty lashes were drawn quickly, but this person did not say a word, which made Lin Quan very embarrassed.

"Give him another twenty lashes, and our family will see how tough this guy can be!" Lin Quan's face darkened.

"Wait a minute..." Cai Xinghai said in a serious tone.

"What's your opinion, Mr. Cai?" Lin Quanyin asked pitifully.

"You can't beat people to death directly!"

After saying that, Cai Xinghai ignored Lin Quan, but looked forward and said, "Wang Baokun, you know you must die, so you don't say a word..."

"But don't you only think about yourself? You have an old mother, a wife and children at home, don't you think about them?"

"You don't say a word, you defy the law, and you're dead, but your family still has to live!"

These words finally had some effect, causing Wang Baokun to slowly open his eyes.

"Even if you don't say it, someone else will say it. Do you want others to say your sin?"

Cai Xinghai's latter words are even more tricky, which is tantamount to warning Wang Baokun that if he doesn't say anything, be careful that others will blame him for everything.

People in the world don't suffer from the few but from the uneven. Wang Baokun thinks he must die, but he doesn't want to see Li Lin put the blame on himself in order to survive.

"My lord, I am guilty!" Wang Baokun said slowly.

"Since you are convicted, you should tell the truth, the truth!" Cai Xinghai's tone slowed down.

Seeing that Cai Xinghai's words were effective, Lin Quan had to admit that this guy does have some skills.

The wind blew on Wang Baokun's face, which made him sober again, and all the previous scenes came before his eyes.

Seeing a dark cloud in the sky, Lin Quan looked to his side and said, "Go and get an umbrella, and get one for Master Cai!"

"On March 25, the humble official was ordered to escort a hundred stones of food out of the city, and the destinations were three places!"

"Although these three places are relatively close to each other, there is no road link between them, so we can only go there in three ways..."

"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 place, 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 shi?"

"Yes... and no!"

"What does that mean?"

"Li Lin and I escorted the food and rushed to the working place of the Jiayou team. Unexpectedly, the axle broke halfway, so we had to stop and repair the car!"

The axles are the most likely to be damaged in this kind of cart full of grain, so there are spares with it, and it is easy to replace.

"In order to repair the car, the food had to be taken out of the car first, and then the food had to be put back after repairing, so it was delayed for more than half an hour!"

"I went all the way, but I didn't find a yard where I could rest. It was getting dark and I could only find a residential house to rest!"

Cai Xinghai and Lin Quan didn't speak any more. At this time, someone had already brought an umbrella and propped it on top of their heads.

"That night, we rested after dinner, but when we woke up the next morning, we found that... half of the food was missing!"

Half of the grain was missing, presumably the fifteen stone grain gap was also caused by this.

Cai Xinghai thought that someone was greedy, and followed this idea to find nothing, but how could he think that it was missing.

"You mean the food is lost?"

"Yes……"

"Since you lost it, why didn't you report it?"

"My lord, I was waiting to escort the food, but I didn't find a place to stay, nor did I arrange a guard post as required by the palace. Losing food is a felony. How dare you report it!"

At this time, Lin Quan said: "You guys just say that if you encounter a monster attack, it's okay if you lose your food?"

Wang Baokun smiled wryly: "The monster attacks, but the monster doesn't know how to ask for food. Fifteen stones of food is not a small amount. The palace will definitely send someone to look for it. How can we pay for it then?"

Zombies don't ask for food, which means that this is a ghost made by people. This means that there are still some living people in Yuanyang Mansion who have not surrendered to the Palace.

"Since someone stole food, why only half of it was stolen?"

"The stolen cart of grain was farther away from our sleeping room, and the remaining cart of grain was parked at the door where we slept!"

The process seemed to be clear, and finally Cai Xinghai asked: "How did you forge the receipt?"

After glancing at Su Liangcai at the side, Wang Baokun said calmly, "We didn't forge the receipt, the one he signed is real!"

"Fart, the receipt I signed is clearly a fifteen stone receipt!"

"It's just that what you saw was fifteen shi. We wrote "fifteen" and pasted it on the receipt. After you sign it, we will take it off again. When you hand it back, it will still be thirty shi!"

"At that time, we urged you so hard that you didn't even ask you to check the receipt carefully. You signed it as soon as you saw that the numbers matched!"

Now the truth is revealed, but Su Liangcai doesn't know whether to cry or laugh, he was actually deceived by these stinky people.

The facts in front of them also surprised Cai Xinghai and Lin Quan. Who would have thought that such a process would happen.

There are still things that can be dug out, but obviously now is not the time, and they have to report the situation to Jinshen Hall as soon as possible.

At this moment, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by rumbling thunder.

"Lord Cai, it's time to have an audience!"

Cai Xinghai nodded, and then ordered: "Put the prisoner in jail and retry at another day!"

At this moment, Su Liang hurriedly asked: "Lord Cai, can I go home now?"

"Since you are not guilty, go home first and wait for the arraignment at any time!"

"Yes!" Su Liangcai was overjoyed.
