The Government Official responded and went out, and Wu Cheng's face instantly lost all color.
"Wu Cheng, if you admit it now, we can still deal with it leniently," Qin Long hinted.
"Lord, I did sell a Silver Ring Snake, but that was several days ago. If it were to bite someone, wouldn't it have done so long before today?"
Wu Cheng wiped his sweat, even his voice changing.
Qin Longyun spoke calmly, "Then let's wait for Young Master Bai to confirm. According to the laws of our dynasty, those who refuse to confess shall receive an additional twenty heavy blows with the Court Beating Wood as a warning once the evidence is complete."
Wu Cheng shivered at the thought; the last thing he wanted was to be hit with the wooden beater!
"Lord, it's... it's mine. You see, the snake's tail is broken; I accidentally caused that," Wu Cheng hurriedly confessed.
"Do you remember whom you sold it to?"
"I don't know," Wu Cheng confessed truthfully.
