In a remote courtyard in the Huai'an Palace, a beaten half-dead man was being tied. [No pop-ups. 】

In the courtyard, there are rattan chairs and rattan tables, and the two people who are sitting and drinking tea are the two people who are about to turn Yangzhou City over at this moment: Xiao Ye and Zhou Hong.

This is already the fifth day after Ye Zhiqing's disappearance, in addition to the people from the Huai'an Palace, the people from the Yamen, and the soap officials from the Yamen of the state capital are looking for people everywhere. However, Ye Zhiqing disappeared as if out of thin air, and she still can't find a shadow.

The waterways in Yangzhou City are dense, and the boats come and go like the stars of the Tianhe River, which are innumerable. Even the **-year-old boy can also hold the boat in the river and go freely, kidnap a woman and stuff it into the cabin, and go south and north along the river, which is the most convenient.

Zhou Hong once suspected that Ye Zhiqing's disappearance was related to him, but when he reflected on his recent contact with her, he was the most distant and indifferent, and he would not leave a handle that made people suspicious, so he overturned this idea again.

When Xiao Ye saw Emperor Zhang, he suspected that it was because of him.

King Huai'an is the most absurd and willful, he does things according to his heart and preferences, there is no trace to follow, he really teaches him to scratch his head, and he has been intentionally inspired several times, but Xiao Ye has no reaction, and he can only think about it elsewhere for the time being.

Sent out to find people every day can not bring back good news, Zhou Hong is more and more anxious in his heart, treat people as well as before, received the invitation of the king of Huai'an, came to interrogate the prisoner, the shot will inevitably be heavier, the person is beaten half to death, the whole body of skin and flesh can not find a neat piece.

At this moment, Zhou Hao and Shang Jingyun were still in the house and were responsible for finishing up the interrogation.

Shang Jingyun looks like a middle-aged scholar, the clothes and robes on his body are extremely ordinary, and the appearance of writing down to record confessions is like the appearance of a guest invited by a rich family outside.

Zhou Hong and Zhou Hao didn't know that the one in front of them was the strategist who followed the former King of Huaiyang, the famous Mr. Liuyun.

Shang Jingyun can get the nickname of Mr. Liuyun because of his unparalleled wisdom and scheming, and every trick is difficult for ordinary people to think of, such as the sky and clouds have no trace to follow.

If Gong Jiang or Qiao Liping came here to take a look, they would be in a trance, and the reason for the breakdown of their long-term cooperative relationship was the middle-aged man who was beaten half-dead in front of him, Yu Wei, the deputy leader of the Salt Gang.

Yu Wei, as the right-hand man of Gong Jiang, the leader of the salt gang, has made great achievements in Gong Jiang's cause of selling illicit salt for many years. He is ruthless and ruthless, and there are always a few new water ghosts in the river every year who are his masterpieces.

This time it fell into the hands of Xiao Ye, who was originally a tough guy with iron bones, and he refused to honestly confess the shady deeds of the Salt Gang when he was killed, as well as which officials in Yangzhou City had dealings.

Zhou Hong's heart was not smooth, and after asking a few words, he saw that he not only had a sharp mouth and erected his teeth, but also did not mean to repent and admit his mistakes, and he would not betray Gong Jiang, shook out the secret of the Salt Gang, and whipped it down, which made his bones harder and his teeth tighter, and he never asked a word from Yu Wei's mouth for half a day Gong Jiang's yes.

Xiao Ye persuaded Zhou Hong to go to the courtyard for tea, leaving Zhou Hao and Shang Jingyun to continue the interrogation.

Zhou Hao and Zhou Hong are both from the Southeast Water Military Camp, and the way of interrogating the prisoners is the same, they are all interrogated with a whip, if they don't answer, they will be whipped again, and they will not answer...... Continue to draw ......

Seeing that he was pumping again, Yu Wei was out of breath and out of breath, and he wanted to take out his life, Shang Jingyun, who had been pretending to be a scribe next to him, couldn't stand it anymore and stopped Zhou Hao from committing violence: "Lord Zhou, if you continue to fight like this, you will die." Since Deputy Gang Leader Yu is determined to work hard for Gong Jiang, and since he is a man cast of iron, he doesn't mind seeing his parents, wife and children arrested and interrogated, right? ”

Yu Wei was already in a cold sweat in pain, and his consciousness was a little drowsy, but when he heard Shang Jingyun's words, the tiger's eyes immediately opened, and he stared at Shang Jingyun fiercely.

Shang Jingyun seemed to be frightened by his eyes, and the wolf in his hand drew a soft mark on the paper: "Ouch, what is he going to do?" Such a scary look at the bottom! ”

Zhou Hao was used to seeing the cruelty and ferocity of the pirates on the sea, Yu Wei's eyes didn't play any role in him, but Shang Jingyun's words inspired his interrogation thoughts: "Yes, yes, why didn't I think of it?" He is a person who is always a little worried about his age, his parents, wives and children in the house, catch one of them and smoke his boots in front of him first. I don't know if he has a son? ”

He was just a casual remark, but Yu Wei couldn't wait to jump up and fight with him, spit out a mouthful of bloody saliva from between his bloody teeth, and fell to the ground dumbfounded: "You dare?!" ”

"Why wouldn't I dare? In this way, you really have someone who cares very much, and the mercy of the official will save you from the prison of your parents. Even the saints advocate the rule of filial piety, so it is better to detain your son. I don't think you have any opinions, right? Although Zhou Hao is a person close to Zhou Hong, he is now also holding an official position in the Yanyun Embassy, which used to be a high-grade military position, but now he has also turned into a civilian position, and he is Zhou Hong's subordinate.
