Chapter 21 Extortion of confessions through torture

It was precisely because Su Ziheng had encountered such a scumbag father in his previous life that he was particularly afraid that Xiaoya would also suffer this misfortune at this moment. The sooner you find her, the sooner you will be safe.

Su Ziheng called Zhang Wanqing and said to Song Jianming: "Thank you Brother Jianming for telling me where my little sister is, I won't bother much today, and I will come to the door another day to thank you." ”

"Virtuous brother is slow, foolish brother will go with you, one more person will have more strength." Song Jianming hurriedly stopped Su Ziheng and planned to go with them to find Xiaoya.

Song Jianming had a very good impression of Su Ziheng, so he wanted to make friends with him. If you help him find his little sister today, he will definitely be grateful to himself in the future.

Su Ziheng was overjoyed, "Thank you Brother Jianming in this way, it will be useful for the younger brother in the future, even if you open your mouth, the younger brother will never say anything." ”

After thinking about it, Song Jianming opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Xian, do you have a goal, do you know where to look?" If you still need manpower, the foolish brother will mobilize the people in the family to help find it. ”

Su Ziheng asked Zhang Wanqing: "Sister-in-law, do you know where your father often goes?" ”

Zhang Wanqing hesitated for a moment and said: "In addition to drinking, he is a good gambler, and the most frequented place in the past was Changle Gambling House." As for the drinking place, there are too many places, and basically as long as the restaurant will go there. ”

"Changle Fang?" Song Jianming was taken aback, "That's not an easy place to break into." Well, then, I will go and find my brother, who is on an errand in the yamen. Let's see if I can say a word to the Seventh Master. ”

"In addition, I will call a few more housekeepers and look for the restaurant all the way to see if I can find the person I am looking for." Song Jianming didn't wait for Su Ziheng to speak, and called out a few strong family members.

Now the night is completely dark, and there are no pedestrians in the streets. Only the shops or businesses that are scattered on both sides of the street are revealed by the faint yellow lights, and the silence of the street still looks quite scary.

If he didn't call a few more people together, Song Jianming really wouldn't dare to go out with the two of them alone.

With a hula, five or six strong men came out, each carrying an arm-thick wooden stick in his hand for self-defense. There are also two people carrying two bright lanterns, and the candles inside are much larger than the candles in the lanterns brought by Su Ziheng's house, and they can naturally be burned for a much longer time.

Su Ziheng said gratefully: "Brother Jianming is very kind, and the younger brother is unforgettable." ”

Song Jianming smiled and said, "Virtuous brother must be polite, let's hurry up." Walk in the direction of Yamen first, and pay attention to whether there are people in the restaurant on the way. Then after finding my brother on duty, I immediately went to Changle Fang. ”

"In fact, as long as you arrive at Changle Fang, it is much easier to find someone. The Seventh Master of Changle Fang controls a lot of dark transactions in the West Market, as long as he is willing to pay the starting price, it is the easiest thing to let them help find people. ”

Su Ziheng said: "As long as you can find your little sister, it's easy to talk about money." It just so happens that the younger brother has a little income today, so he must use it to find someone, which is more than enough. ”

Song Jianming knew that he had earned a hundred taels of silver in the Nuanxiang Pavilion, so he had no doubt about what he said.

"It's better to find it yourself first, I really can't ask the people from Changle Fang to come out again. They are all psoriasis, and they are the kind of sticky that is difficult to get rid of. Try to minimize your dealings with them if you don't have to. ”

"Thank you Brother Jianming for your advice, little brother will keep it in mind."

……

……

A group of seven or eight people walked along Xishi Street in the direction of Yamen, and on the way, they saw several restaurants that were opening, but they didn't find Zhang Liuzhi.

As time passed little by little, Zhang Wanqing's heart gradually sank to the bottom, and the expression on her face became more and more desperate.

Although Su Ziheng's inner sense of uneasiness became stronger and stronger, he didn't show it, and he couldn't help but comfort Zhang Wanqing, saying: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, the little girl must be auspicious." ”

It's a pity that his comfort was too pale and weak, and it didn't completely relieve Zhang Wanqing. But because she was accompanied by someone all the way, it didn't make her completely collapse.

When he came to the yamen, Song Jianming found his brother Song Jiancai and asked him to help find someone.

Although Song Jiancai is Song Jianming's brother and the Song family, he is only a collateral of the Song family, and Song Jianming, who has a meritorious name and a descendant status, is not at the same level at all.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be a few Chinese New Year's Eve today, and it would still be the head of a government servant. In this era, the officials are not actually officials, and they are even inferior to the officials, even if they are the head of the team, they can only command a few officials under them.

When Song Jiancai heard that Song Jianming asked him to help find someone, he didn't say a word, he agreed, and also asked a few other errand brothers in the yamen to help.

With the strength of the people, coupled with the help of the officials, their news is naturally better than that of Su Ziheng and others.

Soon, the group found Zhang Liuzhi in a restaurant not far from Changle Casino. When he found him, he was already drunk and dazed, and he didn't even know how to run away when he saw Su Ziheng and Zhang Wanqing, and he greeted them vaguely, and he didn't know what was going on in his mouth.

Su Ziheng grabbed Zhang Wanqing, who wanted to come forward to question him, walked in front of Zhang Liuzhi, attacked with hatred, raised his leg, and kicked him out of Zhangyuan with a "bang", and slammed his head to the ground, blood flowing.

The severe pain finally made Zhang Liuzhi sober up a little, and when he looked at Su Ziheng with an angry face in front of him, he was horrified, and most of his alcohol was gone.

Su Ziheng looked at him coldly, like a beast staring at a prey, his murderous aura boiling in his chest, "Say, where did you get the little girl?" ”

Zhang Liuzhi struggled, and wanted to pretend to be confused, "Su family child, why are you kicking me, I don't know what you're talking about." ”

Su Ziheng took a step forward, stepped heavily on his chest with his right foot, and crushed it hard, "You still want to pretend to be confused, right?" Someone saw Xiaoya walking with you, but she didn't go home for more than an hour, if you didn't lose her, where would she go? ”

Looking at Su Ziheng's eyes that wanted to choose someone to eat, Zhang Liuzhi knew that if he said it, he would definitely not have his own good fruit to eat. He didn't admit it if he wanted to be killed, he didn't believe that Su Ziheng was just a scholar, could he really dare to kill someone?

As long as you avoid today's catastrophe, you will immediately fly away tomorrow, and never appear in Xining City again, not even Liangzhou. Anyway, Daxia is so big, isn't it the same to go anywhere?

Su Ziheng saw him holding his head and pretending to be dead, and snorted coldly: "Okay! You're playing dead, aren't you? I'm going to really beat you to death today. ”

Turning around, he said to a member of the Song family: "This brother, please lend me a wooden stick in your hand." ”

The Song family member hurriedly handed him the wooden stick and said, "Master Su, don't call it that." Directly called the little Song San is. ”

Song San saw it all the way just now, and heard his own son-in-law and Su Ziheng call him brother and brother, if he also called him brother and brother, wouldn't it be a violation of the rules, and he would be punished by his son when he went back.

Song Jiancai stopped Su Ziheng and said casually: "Master Su, leave this kind of rough work to our brothers, you can take a look at it." In dealing with this kind of scoundrel, our yamen people have a lot of experience. ”

After speaking, a stick hit the most vulnerable joint on Zhang Liuzhi's body, and he screamed in pain and rolled on the ground.

But Song Jiancai and a few other officials ignored him at all, and desperately beckoned to him, and after a while, Zhang Liuzhi couldn't stand the pain and shouted loudly: "Don't fight, I said, I'll tell you everything." ”
