"Why are you two here?"

Zhao Youde screamed, even if he saw a ghost, it was better than seeing these two people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Sir, don't you want to see us? I heard that in order to take care of the orphans and widows in our family, you gave each family a hundred taels of silver, and you are so kind to us, are you not happy to see us? ”

The person who came was the butler and the head of the guard in the Zhao family's caravan.

These people also went to Beijing with Zhou Tingyu's class when they returned to the court, and were arranged by Zhou Tingyu to stay in Shu Yanhua's grange.

Those jade and stones were moved from the Grange to the Baxi Treasure Pavilion.

Zhou Tingyu leaned over slightly and looked at Zhao Youde, "Boss Zhao, there are some things, should you explain them?" ”

Zhao Youde's face turned pale, he looked at the steward and the head of the guard, and then at Zhou Tingyu, his lips trembled, and his voice trembled, "Your Highness, you saved these people?" He Beixin and Zhu Chengkun, you bought them? What about the other three? ”

So far, no matter how much I want to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and no matter how much I want to cry out for injustice, it will be useless.

Looking at King Chu's posture, you know that he knows a lot of inside information.

Zhao Youde finally couldn't hold it anymore and collapsed to the ground again.

"Please come out Master Zhao, let's have a good talk."

Two tiger soldiers entered the cell and dragged Zhao Youde, who was like a dead dog, out of the cell and to the torture room.

Zhou Tingyu sat on the chair, propped up his chin, and was silent until he was halfway through before he spoke.

"Master Zhao, don't come up with any lies to fool around, I know far more than you think."

Seeing that Zhao Youde was still lucky, he continued to say slowly: "For example, your Zhao family's caravan said that it was going to the border city to find good skins for the eldest young master, but it was actually transporting grain. ”

Zhou Tingyu successfully saw fine beads of sweat on Zhao Youde's forehead, his face was white without a trace of blood, his lips were trembling, and his body was shaking.

He chuckled under his breath.

"I also know that your Zhao family has an annex in the border city, and under the courtyard, there is a secret passage leading to the spruce forest outside the city."

Zhao Youde's expression was already discouraged, and a sense of death hung over him.

Zhou Tingyu was vigilant, afraid that Zhao Youde would commit suicide like a dead soldier again, so he glanced at the tiger armies on both sides.

Two tiger soldiers stepped forward, one held down Zhao Youde, the other pried open his mouth, carefully checked it in his mouth, and only let go of him after a while, and replied to Zhou Tingyu: "Your Highness, there is nothing in your mouth." ”

Zhou Tingyu waved his hand to let the two tiger soldiers retreat, and he looked at Zhao Youde very seriously: "Don't try to kill yourself, once you kill yourself, I will destroy your nine clans, I will do what I say." ”

Zhao Youde hit a spirit.

He looked at Zhou Tingyu, the look on his face was serious, he knew that what he said was true.

"If you recruit from the truth, perhaps, you can leave a little blood for your Zhao family."

Fornicating with foreign enemies, sending food to the Turks, and helping the Turks fight against Daxia are enough to raze the nine tribes.

Everyone present knew that Zhou Tingyu said just now that once Zhao Youde committed suicide, he would kill all the nine clans of the Zhao family, which was not a lie.

Similarly, the Zhao family is a family that can't stay, so it is impossible for anyone to escape from such a big crime of complicity, and Zhao Youde himself knows it.

But Zhou Tingyu said that he could leave a little blood for the Zhao family, which was a great grace, which made Zhao Youde excited.

His voice trembled and he asked in disbelief, "Your Highness, what you said is true?" ”

Zhou Tingyu was very solemn, "As long as you recruit from the truth, I promise." I never say big things, as long as I promise, I will talk and count. ”

Zhao Youde seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and nodded desperately, "As long as Your Highness, you help me save my ten-year-old son, I will do anything!" ”

"Well, let me ask you, where did the grain sent to the Turks come from?"

Seeing this, Zhou Tingyu knew that Zhao Youde had stabilized, and immediately began to ask.

"Master Zhang sent it." Zhao Youde replied without hesitation.

This is what the steward and the head of the guard said, before the caravan set off, I had seen Master Zhang come to the Zhao family with a caravan.

tested Zhao Youde, and saw that he was not lying, Zhou Tingyu felt very safe in his heart.

"Where is Master Zhang from? How to find him? ”

"Master Zhang is a native of Huainan Province, he has a mansion in Anzhou, and the address is on the side of Liuyang Hutong in Dongcheng, Anzhou, as long as you send someone to find it, you can find it."

Zhao Youde's words were with what the steward had said, and Master Zhang had some accents from Huainan Road.

Zhou Tingyu waved his hand, and Qingfan immediately went down to arrange for someone to go to Anzhou, Huainan Province to find Master Zhang.

Unexpectedly, there was nowhere to find the iron shoes, and he could know the traces of Master Zhang from Zhao Youde's mouth.

"What does Master Zhang do?"

"Those who open rice shops sell grain."

Zhou Tingyu nodded in his heart, and sent so much grain to the Turks, and sure enough, he was selling grain.

"What's going on with the annex in the border city?"

"That courtyard belongs to Master Zhang, but Master Zhang was afraid that it would be too conspicuous, so he gave me the courtyard, maybe when it can be used, and when it is time to use it, it will not attract attention."

This is in line with the news that Zhou Tingyu found in the border city.

Holding back the joy in his heart, Zhou Tingyu continued to ask: "Did you have the secret passage in the courtyard when you took over?" ”

"Yes, but I only learned about this secret passage when Master Zhang came to see me with food."

Zhao Youde's words made Zhou Tingyu's eyes half-squint, it seems that Master Zhang is quite cautious.

"Let me ask you again, who is the person who made you obey the orders to deliver food?"

After Zhou Tingyu asked this question, he couldn't help but sit up straight, and his heart began to jump, he understood that he would soon know who was behind the scenes, and it was not in vain that he spent so much effort and went around in such a big circle to win Zhao Youde.

"Your Highness, you said that you wanted to protect a little bloodline of my Zhao family, and your words are unfounded, please invite a gold medal or holy decree to avoid death, and I will tell the people who ordered me to send food to the Turks."

Zhao Youde changed his words, not only did not answer Zhou Tingyu's words, but talked to Zhou Tingyu about the conditions.

This is the typical businessman who does not see the rabbit and does not scatter the eagle.

Since the Zhao family can send food to the Turks, they naturally know what the consequences will be once they are known, but the Zhao family still does it.

At the beginning, Master Zhao was first caught off guard by the traitors of He Beixin and the others, and then saw the steward and the head of the guard who were supposed to die, and at that time, he was already flustered.

Later, when he heard Zhou Tingyu's secret sin, his heart was shocked, and Zhou Tingyu answered whatever he asked.

Such a time of asking and answering made Zhao Youde gradually calm down, he grasped Zhou Tingyu's mentality of wanting to know who was behind the scenes, and talked to him about the conditions.
