Chapter 962 Hate Iron Is Not Steel

After tossing several chips in succession, Xu Pingwen finally panicked. He kowtowed and pleaded guilty, "My lord, I know I was wrong, I just admit it, my lord, please don't beat me up."

Zhao Ergou really hates that iron cannot be made into steel. He has always been worried that Xu Pingwen will do bad things. Now it seems that this is really the case. Xu Pingwen is too brainless, right?
The magistrate of this county is notoriously impartial. If they don't admit it, he has no evidence. He definitely wouldn't hit him directly. It's stupid to be fooled.

Mr. Zhao finally stopped, "Okay, then tell the truth, if there is a lie, don't blame me for being rude."

At this time, the members of the Xu family were also recruited by the yamen servants. The people who came were Xu Qiaosheng and Xu Linsong. Well, Xu Pingwen was caught doing this kind of thing, it's shameful, and he's not their son, why bother to follow suit?

They didn't commit a crime, so they didn't need to go to court, they just watched from outside.

At this time, Xu Pingwen was kneeling in the courtroom, not seeing his family behind him, Master Zhao told him to be honest and he started talking.

"My lord, Caomin really didn't know what Mr. Zhang was doing before. It's just that my classmate Zhao Ergou said that Mr. Zhang was very capable of making money, so he asked me to take some money from home to do business, so I told him The family asked for silver."

"Master Zhang doesn't know me at all. If it wasn't for Zhao Ergou's recommendation, I wouldn't have been involved in this matter. Later... I made a lot of money later, so I curiously asked him who Master Zhang was. It was only at that time that I found out that Mr. Zhang was doing such a thing, but I was already involved in this matter, so I didn't dare to come to the Yamen to report it, so..."

As he said that, Xu Pingwen hurriedly kowtowed a few times, "My lord, what Caomin said is true, and there is not a single lie. Please forgive Caomin."

Lord Zhao looked at Zhao Ergou, "Is he telling the truth?"

The matter has come to this point, it is useless for Zhao Ergou to refute, and the sentence will be heavier, so he has nothing to deny, so he nodded, "Returning to my lord, it is what he said, actually Caomin didn't know about it when he met Master Zhang, but later... just like him, he didn't dare to report it."

Mr. Zhao already knew something about it, and now they are just asking them to confess to their counterparts, but they can match up, and it seems that they are indeed frightened.

Listening to these words outside, Mrs. Lin was so angry that she almost fell to the ground. I didn't expect this child to be so confused. He is good at hands and feet. It's not good to do something. He has to do this illegal business, and now he is arrested by the yamen What should I do if I live?
Xu Qiaosheng was also very angry. Seeing that Mrs. Lin was about to fall, she hurriedly supported her, "Old lady, be careful."

"Hey." Lin sighed and continued to listen.

Master Zhao asked, "Why did you two leave Anhua Town?"

How could Xu Pingwen dare to hide it? He hurriedly said, "My lord, Caomin heard that Mr. Zhang was arrested yesterday and wanted to arrest his accomplices. In a moment of impatience, he... ran away with Zhao Ergou. I thought so Ziyamen couldn’t catch us, but we were caught anyway, my lord, thank you, Caomin will never dare again.”
