Chapter 068: Night Visit to the Prison
"So my daughter came to beg her father at night, in addition to worrying that things would change, she also had a little selfishness, and wanted her father to find out about this matter as soon as possible, so that her mother could know that it was really not that I didn't take a good look at my sisters, and I didn't want my mother to misunderstand me like this."
Shen Zhonglei stretched out his hand to put on a hood for Shen Tianshu, and forgot that he wanted to send her back before, and took her directly to the Yamen prison.
As soon as the two of them reached the door of the prison, they heard a familiar voice with a strange hoarseness.
"Are the two prisoners we captured today locked up here?"
Because of his illness, Xu's voice was hoarse, and the anxiety in his tone couldn't be covered.
"If Mrs. Hui speaks, she will be locked up in the dungeon."
"I have something to ask them, you let me in." Xu Shi said and took out a purse full of small silver ingots, stuffed it to the guard and said: "Take this money, it will be regarded as if I invited your brothers to drink, it is not easy for you to guard in the dungeon on a cold day." ”
Xu's voice did not fall, only to hear a familiar voice behind him.
"You dragged your sick body and ran to the dungeon in the middle of the night to ask the prisoners for questioning, I think it is more difficult for you than them!"
As soon as Shen Zhonglei spoke, he was so frightened that the officer's hand shook, his purse fell to the ground, and more than a dozen small silver ingots of two or three were rolled out.
"You're generous!" Shen Zhonglei continued to ask, "If you are willing to spend so much money, it is probably not as simple as just asking two sentences, right?" ”
Xu Shi trembled like chaff when asked, and he didn't fall to the ground by relying on the support of the two maids behind him.
"Master, listen to my explanation." Xu racked his brains to make an excuse and said, "Yes, yes, Yun Yao said, in addition to these two people, there is a third person, I heard the impulse at the time, and the people came over, in fact, I just want to ask if the two of them have accomplices." ”
"That's right, I'm here to ask about it." Shen Zhonglei said, "Then let's go in together." ”
"Huh? There is a master to interrogate, isn't that much better than me asking, I'll go back and wait for the good news from the master. ”
Could it be that Shen Zhonglei already knew that this matter was related to Xu Yihao?
Xu's heart was like a tender tofu that had just come out of the pot at this time, trembling and trembling, and it would break to pieces if he was not careful.
Shen Zhonglei said meaningfully: "I think it is necessary for you to follow in and listen." ”
After removing a few locks, the cell door was finally opened, and Shen Zhonglei took the lead and walked in directly.
Xu Shi looked at the entrance of the dungeon, and then looked at Shen Tianshu who asked her to go first, her expression was a little unconsciously distorted, but she also had to cheer up and follow behind Shen Zhonglei.
When Shen Tianshu entered the dungeon, the black-faced man had already been lifted out of the cell and knelt in front of Shen Zhonglei.
The black-faced man caught a glimpse of a familiar skirt, trembled with fright, and suddenly looked up to find the owner of the skirt, and saw Shen Tianshu looking at him.
Shen Tianshu didn't have any expression, but the black-faced man was so frightened that he cramped all over, and all the places where he had been pierced before began to ache faintly.
He really didn't want to do it again, it was even more terrifying than being punished in the palace.
"Lord Prefect, all the small ones are recruited, all of them are recruited!" The black-faced man said to Shen Zhonglei, "The little one must know everything, and he must say everything." ”
"Then tell me, why did you tie up my two daughters today?"
When the black-faced man heard this, he was angry and said: "Lord Prefect, the little one really doesn't know that those two girls are your daughters, and the little one was also deceived by someone!" ”
"Even if it's not my daughter, can other people's daughters be taken away at will?"
"My lord, what kind of kidnapping and asking for money is actually all fake." The black-faced man simply didn't wait for Shen Zhonglei to ask, and began to explain one by one.
"A few days ago, a man came to me and gave me twenty taels of silver, saying that I should wait in the alley outside the northwest corner gate of Mingshui Garden to pick up people today, and then there was a request that I should tie up the few people I received and find a place to hide them, until he came to tell me to release them. He also said that when the leading girl is tied, she just needs to make a show, she will not cause trouble, and the others must all be tied strongly. ”
When Xu Shi heard this, her head buzzed, her temples hurt one by one, and she wanted to plug her ears, but it didn't affect the black-faced man to explain and get into her ears one by one.
In a trance, she also heard Shen Zhonglei say: "I didn't expect it to be the same as Mrs. said, there really is a third person." ”
Shen Zhonglei turned to the black-faced man and asked, "You honestly confess, since you don't know that the person you took away is my daughter, why did you come to the mansion to send a letter and ask for ransom?" ”
The black-faced man looked inexplicable when he heard this, and said: "My lord, the little one really doesn't know that the two girls are the daughters of the prefect, otherwise give the little one 10,000 guts, and the little one won't dare to take this job." And the little one has never gone to the yamen to deliver a letter, causing such a thing, it's too late to escape, where do you dare to go to the yamen! ”
Shen Zhonglei took out two silk handkerchiefs from his arms and asked, "Have you seen these two handkerchiefs, did you give them to another person?" ”
The black-faced man's head shook like a rattle.
"The little one has never seen any silk handkerchiefs, and the little one has never left the northwest corner today. Xiao Liuzi rushed to pick up the people, and after arriving at the northwest corner, I picked a place with few people to wait for him, tied a few girls in the car, and carried them to Xiao Liuzi's house with a quilt......"
Shen Zhonglei's hand had been tightly gripping the armrest of the chair, and when he suddenly heard this, he tightened suddenly, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were stretched out.
The pampered daughter of her own family was actually resisted by this kind of person from the car to the dilapidated adobe house.
As long as Shen Zhonglei imagined the scene at that time, he couldn't wait to dismantle the black-faced man in front of him to vent his hatred.
Xu almost fainted when he heard this, and was wrapped in a quilt to resist entering a dilapidated house in a slum area, if this kind of thing spreads, Shen Yunyao's reputation will be completely ruined, even if she is still perfect, I am afraid that no good family is willing to marry such a daughter-in-law.
Shen Zhonglei took a deep breath and asked, "How did you get in touch with that person?" Do you remember what he looked like? Can you recognize it when you see it again? ”
Xu Shi stared at the black-faced man with wide eyes, tense all over, for fear of hearing Xu Yihao's name directly from the other party's mouth.
"If you go back to the adult, the small one can't contact him, and he contacts the small one."
Before Xu Shi could breathe a sigh of relief, he only heard the black-faced man continue: "But that person has a mole on the left side of his neck, if you see him again, the little one will definitely be able to recognize it!" ”
"Bang-"
Xu even fell to the ground with a chair and fainted.
