"As soon as the threat of severe punishment arises, this commoner's hairs stand on end! Please, not that! I am confessing!" Pei Qin shouted with her hands outstretched.
"If you don't want to suffer physical torment, then confess truthfully without delay!" Mo Dun reminded in a cold and authoritative voice.
"Confessing! Confessing!" Pei Qin kept nodding her head, "My lord! You seek evidence when handling cases, right? I wonder if all the evidence has been gathered?"
"The physical evidence is conclusive," Mo Dun replied to her.
Pei Qin nodded again, "So, you are only prepared to consider the evidence, and not whether the whole affair is reasonable?"
"What do you mean by that?" asked Mo Dun.
