In the courtroom, Gu Dahe lay on the ground. Perhaps it was the coolness of the floor, but he gradually regained consciousness. The moment he awoke, a sharp pain in his buttocks made him grit his teeth.
Magistrate Xu, seeing he had awoken so quickly, looked at him with a faint gleam in his eyes and asked, "Gu Dahe, do you plead guilty?"
Gu Dahe croaked, "No."
Heh. Gu Qingli glanced at Gu Dahe. If one didn't know he had such a malicious mind, one might actually think he was a tough man. However, seeing Magistrate Xu's confident demeanor, it didn't seem to matter whether Gu Dahe pleaded guilty or not—the result would be the same. After all the earlier commotion, it was about time.
Sure enough, Magistrate Xu didn't get angry. He turned to Ma San and asked, "Ma San, do you plead guilty?"
Ma San touched his buttocks, fearing another beating, and nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, this humble one pleads guilty."
