Lin Song obeyed the order and retreated, and the scolding in the hall also stopped.
During the waiting time, everyone in the Liu family felt that the time was extremely long and unbearable.
Lin Siran and Lin Jinyun's knees and waists hurt, and they did not dare to make a sound. They could only move their bodies slightly to relieve themselves.
Liuli and Hubo changed the tea. Everyone in the Liu family wanted to speak, but couldn't find the words. Lin Yanqing picked up the tea cup, looked down at the tea in his hand and drank it slowly, paying no attention to it.
In the awkward and frightened atmosphere, Liu Shilang also picked up the tea cup, trying to appear calmer and not wanting to burn his mouth with the tea, which would make himself even more embarrassed.
He turned around and looked around, but fortunately everyone in the hall had different thoughts and no one paid him any attention.
Finally there was movement outside, and Lin Song escorted Liu Wu in with the confessions from the bank keeper and the inn keeper.
Lin Yanqing asked Liu Wu, and Liu Wu refused to deny it like Liu.
After asking a few questions, Mrs. Liu mentioned that Liu Jie had confessed Liu Wu and asked him to confess quickly.
Lin Yanqing's eyes were heavy and she repeatedly made excuses in front of him. It seemed that his father-in-law was too kind.
Before Liu Wu could reply, Lin Yanqing put down the tea cup and said in a deep voice: "Lin Song, drag him outside the door and beat him!"
Lin Song immediately went to the door and arranged a long bench and wooden sticks. After his servants dragged Liu Wu to the bench and tied his hands and feet, the wooden sticks fell on Liu Wu one after another.
The dull sound of the wooden stick and Liu Wu's cry of pain fell on the ears of everyone in the Liu family, like a reminder.
Mrs. Liu was afraid that Liu Wu would not be able to withstand the punishment and confess himself, so she quickly begged for mercy.
"Father...Liu Wu hasn't said anything yet, and he's being tortured like this..."
Lin Yanqing interrupted: "In front of me, you repeatedly force others to change their words. Do you think I am stupid? After you prompted him, you have no idea whether his confession is credible or not?"
Mrs. Liu looked at Lin Yanqing's sharp eyes that knew everything, and quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
"Daughter-in-law...it's just..."
Lin Yanqing didn't want to listen to Liu's sophistry anymore, so she shouted at the door: "Lin Song, if he doesn't tell the truth, I'll keep beating him until he's dead with a stick."
Everyone in the Liu family felt frightened and restless after hearing this. Old Mrs. Lin was serious this time.
After being beaten for a while, Liu Wu could not bear the pain and began to ask for help from Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu was frightened and did not dare to reply after hearing this.
After a while, Liu Wu's cries for help faded and he began to beg for mercy.
Lin Song raised his hand to suspend the punishment and asked Liu Wu if he wanted to reply. Liu Wu hesitated and couldn't explain the reason.
Lin Song didn't ask any more questions and said directly: "Keep fighting."
At this time, Liu Wu's body was already bloody and bloody. Following Lin Song's words, the wooden stick came down. Liu Wu couldn't bear the pain anymore and cried out with tears.
"Ah! I said it, I said it! Don't hit me, I said it! Don't hit it, don't hit it..."
Lin Song raised his hand, and the servant put away the wooden stick, untied the rope from Liu Wu, and dragged him to the hall.
Mrs. Liu was so frightened that she slumped to the ground. Liu Jie, Lin Jinyun and Lin Siran who were kneeling on the ground also knelt and moved aside in fright.
Liu Wu, who was beaten so brutally, took the initiative to confess the fact that Liu was embezzling black money and silver coins without waiting for Lin Yanqing to ask. In order to prevent Lin Yanqing from being dissatisfied, he would be beaten again and even mentioned the whereabouts of the silver coins.
"The second master wants to buy an official position and is short of hundreds of thousands of silver coins. Most of the silver coins that the eldest lady embezzled have been sent back to the Liu family to be used for the second master's purchase of an official position."
