Chapter 124

Cui's uncles and nephews were taken to a room.

There was a slightly fat middle-aged man sitting above, and four or five big men with a fierce face stood below.

"Cui genniu, you are also a regular guest of our Liyuan gambling house. You know the rules here. If you can't give me a satisfactory explanation today, the consequences... You know!" the middle-aged man smiled innocuously, but his eyes were cruel.

Cui genniu said anxiously, "Master Sheng, we really didn't come to smash the field. It was my nephew who misunderstood me."

"You smashed my things, scared away my guests and broke my rules. You can explain it in two words of misunderstanding?" Master Sheng said slowly. His eyes were suddenly cold: "according to the rules, pick their tendons for me and throw them out."

Now even Cui Dongbao was worried and knelt down and stepped forward: "Lord Sheng, spare your life! I didn't come to find fault on purpose. It's Cui genniu. He lost his conscience and couldn't bear it."

Lord Sheng raised his hand and stopped the men who were going to be rough.

"You said that if you were telling the truth, Master Sheng, I might be able to be lenient."

Cui Dongbao's life is very important. He doesn't care about anything else. He immediately told the whole story.

"Lord Sheng, this is my father's hard-working money. My father died unjustly! Cui genniu doesn't even know this money. He has no conscience..." Cui Dongbao burst into tears.

"Nonsense, why did I give you money? They only gave you twenty Liang in total, and I didn't take any copper. I gave it all to you." Cui genniu blustered.

"You didn't take a copper. Where did you get the silver? You just picked it up from the sky? Who didn't know you were poor." Cui Dongbao retorted.

Lord Sheng frowned and asked his men, "how much did Cui genniu lose?"

The man replied, "the principal is fifty Liang, and he borrowed thirty liang from the gambling house."

Master Sheng sneered and said, "Cui genniu, fifty Liang is not a small number. Where did you make a big fortune?"

"I won it by gambling," said trigen Niu Nuo

"When did you win? It seems that you have always lost." Sheng said.

"I... I won in other gambling houses." Cui genniu bluntly said.

Master Sheng grinned: "OK! You said which gambling house you won in. I'll ask someone to inquire. Master Sheng never wrongs people."

Cui genniu was speechless.

Master Sheng's eyes coagulated a frost: "give you one last chance. If you don't tell the truth, I'll pull out your fingers one by one."

Cui genniu shivered, kowtowed to the ground and said, "Lord Sheng, spare your life, I said, I said..."

"I heard that my cousin was killed by the doctor of the medical school. There were two apprentices with me. One was from the Huichun Hall of the medical school. I thought my cousin couldn't die in vain. So I went to the medical school, and then they gave me eighty Liang silver to testify against the apprentice of the Huichun hall."

When Cui Dongbao heard this, he became angry again: "well, you have stolen sixty liang of silver from me."

"What are you yelling at? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't get a word. Twenty Liang is enough." Cui genniu said.

"Cui genniu, what you said is the truth?" Master Sheng asked.

"Small sentences are true, small ones can swear." Cui genniu raised his hand to swear.

Lord Sheng raised his hand: "have you written all the testimony? Let them sign it."

Immediately, a scholar came out from behind the screen with a confession in his hand and handed it to Cui's uncle and nephew.

"Every word you say has been recorded. Sign it!"
