Chapter 440: Interrogation of the steward

The situation in Qianzhou City is changing, there is still sunshine in the previous hour, and there is a strong wind in the next hour.

Ji Yanning guessed correctly, and soon it was already raining.

However, at this time, Rong Che came to Zhuangzi with his own people.

He Zhang had already asked the soldiers to surround the entire Zhuangzi, and also tied up the two stewards and the seven mutes in the Zhuangzi.

But then they found out that the seven mutes had their tongues cut out, so they could not speak, and their eyes were numb, as if they had become accustomed to such things, and they just listened to the steward.

These dumb people can't write, and they can't make any useful information.

The two stewards gritted their teeth and didn't speak, and the punishment came again, and they just insisted that they didn't know anything.

Rong Che walked into the Zhuangzi from the outside.

The location of this village is somewhat secluded, surrounded by two high mountains, and there are not many people passing by on weekdays, except for a river that meanders through it.

On weekdays, this Zhuangzi is in charge of the surrounding orchards, but the orchards next to it are not very good, and it doesn't look like they have paid much attention to it at all, but the terrain of Qianzhou has the advantage that these fruit trees have survived, but no one will doubt it.

Knowing that Rong Che was coming, He Zhang hurriedly stepped forward.

"His Royal Highness King Xuan. He Zhang saluted.

Rong Che glanced at He Zhang and nodded.

He Zhang said: "The stolen official silver is hidden in the cellar, can Your Highness go over and take a look?"

He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, and Rong Che walked in the direction he was pointing.

This cellar is really very hidden, and the entrance is a person hidden in the firewood room, if you don't look for it carefully, it is really difficult to find.

Fortunately, the two guards sent by Ji Yanning had a lot of experience, but they couldn't hide it from their eyes.

Rong Che looked at the dozens of boxes of white flowers and silver in this cellar, and frowned slightly, if he really wanted to transport it back, it was still a little troublesome.

The soldiers who came with He Zhang couldn't take their eyes off it, and it was the first time they had seen so much silver.

This random box is enough for them to spend several lifetimes.

The two bookkeepers in the yamen were doing the statistics, and for most of the day, they only counted the silver in a few boxes.

But they didn't feel tired in the face of all this money.

Seeing the appearance of his officers and soldiers who had never seen the world, He Zhang coughed lightly twice.

Now that His Royal Highness King Xuan is still here, they don't know how to converge so much.

Hearing He Zhang's voice, the soldiers reluctantly moved their eyes back, but the rest of the eyes were still staring at the silver.

Rong Che didn't feel any surprise, because many of these officers and soldiers were selected from some markets, and the selection was not very strict, so naturally they could not be as well-trained as soldiers in the army.

Rong Che left his two guards to guard the cellar, and went to see the two captured stewards.

The two guards followed the two bookkeepers so that they would not be cheating.

The bookkeeper was so absorbed in the joy of counting money that he didn't notice that someone was staring at him from behind.

It's just that the other soldiers were a little discouraged, and originally wanted to steal a few pieces of silver when people weren't paying attention, but when they saw King Xuan's people coming, these people have always been deaf and clear-sighted, and no movement can escape their eyes.

The soldiers thought about it and had to give up first.

"You don't talk about it!"

As soon as Rong Che walked to the room where the two stewards were being held, he heard the soldiers interrogating the two stewards.

He walked in with He Zhang, and saw that the two stewards had been beaten all over their bodies, but they still didn't speak.

Seeing Rong Che and He Zhang coming, the interrogating soldier stepped forward and bowed and said, "Lord Wang, my lord." ”

He Zhang asked, "Still haven't you spoken?"

"They were so hard-mouthed that they couldn't ask anything. The soldier said.

The steward said, "We really don't know anything, really!"

"Even if you beat me to death, I don't know. The other steward said.

Rong Che narrowed his eyes slightly, then drew his saber and stabbed directly at one of the stewards.

The steward closed his eyes directly, as if waiting for the moment when he died, but Rong Che did not kill him directly, but stabbed him in the thigh with a sword.

"Ahh

His forehead was covered with sweat, and his voice was already a little hoarse, but he still refused to confess.

"Aren't you still recruited?" said Rong Che coldly. The steward still said, "I don't know anything." ”

Rong Che said coldly: "Sure enough, my mouth is hard. ”

He didn't believe that the two of them knew anything.

Rong Che said: "It doesn't matter if you don't recruit, with Xin Yuan, there is no need for you to exist." ”

Hearing Xin Yuan's name, the pupils of the two stewards widened slightly, and they seemed to feel a little incredulous.

"Did you catch Xin Yuan?" asked one of the stewards.

It's just that as soon as he opened his mouth, he regretted it a little, and this really fell into Rong Che's trap.

Rong Che raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Didn't you say that you don't know anything?"

The steward shut up again, and Rong Che saw a small purse tied to his belt, the stitches of the purse were very rough, and it looked like it had been made by someone who had just learned needlework.

Rong Che looked into his eyes and said, "It's okay not to say it, your daughter shouldn't be as hard as you." ”

Hearing Rong Che mention his daughter, the steward's eyes suddenly widened: "What did you do to my daughter!"

Rong Che chuckled and said, "What will happen to her, it depends on what you say." ”

"You're lying to me!" said the steward through gritted teeth.

Rong Che said: "If you don't believe it, forget it, anyway, now that I know that you are the remnants of the Miao Kingdom, and you have found the missing official silver, your confession does not matter." As for your daughter...... Sell it to the kiln and leave her alive. ”

The steward said, "Let my daughter go!"

Rong Che seemed to have heard some joke, and said, "Why? He is your daughter, why don't you cooperate, do you think we will let her go?"

"Don't listen to his nonsense!" said another, "he can't possibly know!"

Rong Che said: "You only have one chance, and if you miss it, you won't have it." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave, but the steward said, "I'll move!"

The corners of Rong Che's lips curled into a sneer.

The families of these two stewards are in Xin Yuan's hands, so they have never dared to act rashly, and their ancestors are the guards of the Miao Kingdom, and they have been loyal to the royal family since their ancestors, but in their generation, they no longer want to obey the orders of the Xin family like their fathers.
