The father and son of the Zhou family did not speak at this time, and Chen Xiaoting was not in a hurry, because some things were not in a hurry.

Subsequently, Chen Xiaoting took the Chen family father and son to the courtyard, where several corpses were already lying at this time.

These corpses were all with crossbow arrows stuck in them, and before the weapons in their hands could be drawn, they were shot and killed by the captains.

Chen Xiaoting said when he went out that he would never let his subordinates be in danger, so he let go of the killing ring.

Pointing to the corpse on the ground, Chen Xiaoting said with a smile: "Boss Zhou, where did the weapons of these people under you come from?" ”

In any case, weapons should never appear in the homes of ordinary people, and they should be in the hands of everyone.

Zhou Jia's face changed slightly, he was really clear, and his details seemed to be clear.

At this time, Chen Xiaoting continued: "The weapons you brought in from outside the city yesterday, could they be these on the ground?" ”

Wasn't the weapon transported yesterday from Zhou Yong? So Zhou Jia stared at Zhou Yong with sharp eyes.

This sharp look is not what an ordinary shopkeeper should have, and then there is that there are obviously too many nursing homes in the Zhou family's rice shop.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, where did you put all the weapons that you brought in yesterday?" Chen Xiaoting then asked.

Zhou Jia said with a cross of his neck: "I don't know what you're talking about!"

Chen Xiaoting was still unhurried, at this time he sat on the stool in the courtyard, and then said: "Come on, search up and down here, inside and out!" ”

"I just brought back so many weapons yesterday, and I must have not had time to sell them, but they are in this shop!"

Chen Xiaoting gave an order, and the lieutenants immediately scattered around and searched in the shop.

At this time, the father and son of the Zhou family are not calm, the weapon will definitely be searched, and the next key is how to say it.

Chen Xiaoting said at this time: "Two, why don't you make it clear now, everything is negotiable...... Is it difficult to make everyone's face look bad? ”

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaoting smiled kindly: "As long as everyone makes it clear, there will be nothing...... This official is also a very good talker! ”

With the intention of being a dead horse as a live horse doctor, Zhou Yong, who had his fingers cut off, was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhou Jia with a cough after being discovered.

Then Zhou Jia spoke: "My lord, we are selling food, and we don't know what weapons are!" ”

"If such forbidden things are found here, the villain will also ask the adults to help verify it, who will be so black-hearted to put things in my house!"

If you don't talk about the cunning of the old man, Zhou Jia said such a sentence, even if he really found the weapon, it didn't seem to have anything to do with him.

But how could Chen Xiaoting let him get away with it easily, he only heard him say coldly: "Shopkeeper Zhou, I'll give you face now, don't you know what to do!" ”

Chen Xiaoting's threat was useless, Zhou Jia saw things very clearly, and knew that once the crime was confirmed, it would be a big crime to lose his head.

Soon, I saw Liu Jianping walking briskly, with a hint of joy on his face.

After coming to Chen Xiaoting, Liu Jianping glared at the father and son of the Xu family, and then bowed down and said to Chen Xiaoting: "My lord, the weapon is hidden in the back barn, and the brothers are digging outside!" ”

Chen Xiaoting nodded, and then said to Zhou Jia: "You really take weapons and food seriously, and sell them together!" ”

"My lord, someone is framing me!" Zhou Jia said with trepidation at this time.

Immediately afterwards, he said: "My lord, there are five big rice shops in the city, and the other four are eyeing my Zhou family, this is likely to be a trick set up by them!" ”

Chen Xiaoting shook his head, then stood up and said, "You really don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin!" ”

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaoting's tone became stern and said: "Everything has been searched out of your granary, do you dare to quibble?" Are you taking this official for a fool? ”

Although Zhou Jia was cunning, he was scolded by Chen Xiaoting like this, and he was deeply frightened at this time.

Then, I heard Chen Xiaoting say: "Do you really want to harm more than 20 people from Zhou Jia, all of whom are buried for you?" ”

Although the sale of weapons is a felony, it only divides the person involved by capital punishment, but does not make the family guilty of the same crime.

But what Jin Yiwei said, Zhou Jia had to believe it, he still cared about the safety of his family.

Seeing that Zhou Jia didn't speak, Chen Xiaoting continued: "As long as you confess honestly and explain the ins and outs of these weapons clearly, this official can count you as guilty and meritorious!" ”

Although these words are very good, he lacks trust in Jinyiwei Zhou Jia, and he doesn't believe that Jinyiwei will let him go.

"Guilty of meritorious service? What the adults said about making meritorious contributions, can prevent me Zhou Jia from surviving? Zhou Jia asked.

Chen Xiaoting replied: "At least, if your family can live, we can do it according to the Da Ming Law!" ”

According to the provisions of the Daming Law, that is, Zhou Jia's father and son must die, and Zhou Jia's other children can live.

"My lord, what do you say?" Zhou Jia asked.

Chen Xiaoting said: "What's wrong with this, as long as you explain things clearly, why should this official embarrass your family!" ”

"Since the official said his bottom line, he is naturally sincere!"

For the sake of the family, Zhou Jia felt that he had to gamble, so he turned his attention to his son Zhou Yong.

Zhou Yong got married three years ago, and now that his son is almost two years old, he naturally doesn't want his son to be affected by himself.

Seeing the deep affection for licking calves in Zhou Yong's eyes, Chen Xiaoting decided to add another fire, so he said: "As long as the things explained by the two of you are useful, it is not just a matter of saying that you are guilty of meritorious service, and it is definitely not difficult to avoid death!" ”

But it's hard to believe this, it's already interesting enough to not sit with their families, how can they be exonerated from their crimes?

At this time, Chen Xiaoting said: "You don't believe it? As long as the things you explain can be useful to Lord Shen, whether you are dead or alive is not a matter of his words? ”

Who is Lord Shen? Most people either don't know it, or they want to react for a long time.

Zhou Jia did something that lost his head, and he was more familiar with Jinyi Wei Qianhu, so he immediately reacted that Chen Xiaoting was talking about Shen Yue.

The dignified Jinyi Wei Deputy Qianhu asked his subordinates to spare the lives of the two of them, which is really not a big deal.

So Chen Xiaoting asked, "Let's talk about it first, where did these weapons come from!" ”

Now that he has decided to confess, Zhou Jia no longer hesitated, and replied: "If you go back to your lordship, these weapons were all bought from Changning Mansion!" ”

Changning Mansion is the westernmost province in Yongxi, backed by the Kuning Mountains, and the land is barren, so Changning has little sense of existence in Yongxi.

But the more places that have no sense of existence, it is also appropriate to choose this place to privately cast weapons, because it will not attract attention.

Chen Xiaoting asked again: "Who is from Changning Mansion?" Where do you forge your weapons? ”

But Zhou Jia was not in a hurry to answer, but said: "My lord, the production of Changning Mansion is low, and many people can't survive, so they either flee or fall into the grass!" ”

"And the Kuning Mountain Range to the west of Changning Mansion is the place where they go most often, so a lot of bandits have formed, and it is difficult for the government to clear them because of the terrain!"

"And among these bandits' dens there is a man named Ma Youzhai...... They can forge weapons in their stockades! ”

This is actually the case, and the bizarre degree of the matter is far beyond Chen Xiaoting's imagination.

But there is a key question here, Zhou Jia is in the weapons business with Chen Benxian, so does he know the details of Chen Benxian?
