County Magistrate Fang didn't believe it and said to the Government Official, "Use torture!"
"Yes." The squad of Government Officials who had come with Tianfu County immediately pinned Liu Tianbao down and gave him a fierce beating.
Liu Tianbao was beaten so miserably that in the end he couldn't take it anymore and could only shout, "Spare my life, my lord, I'll tell the truth, please stop hitting me!"
If they kept beating him, he'd die.
Only then did County Magistrate Fang have the Government Officials stop and say in a deep voice, "Speak!"
Liu Tianbao recounted the ins and outs of the matter, not a bit different from what the sisters Bai Chunge and Bai Qiuge had said.
After hearing this, County Magistrate Fang let out a breath of relief. He really had been afraid he might save the wrong people. "Do you have the indentures of Bai Chunge's whole family on you?"
