If this young man is really a descendant of Lord Du, then this carpenter family also has a relationship with Lord Du.

In addition, who is the backer surnamed Dong?

Young people are reluctant to admit their identity, but it is not difficult to investigate the matter.

Chen Mu turned his head and made a face at Lord Ye, who noticed Chen Mu's gaze, bowed to Chen Mu, and hurriedly retreated.

He understood what Chen Mu meant.

Everything that should be asked was asked clearly, and Chen Mu told the young man about the fate of the rich Liao.

Seeing a little horror in the young man's eyes, Chen Mu sneered and didn't say much.

He and his men left the dungeon and told the county magistrate the news that he had been interrogated and the truth of the matter had been clarified.

The county magistrate hurried to the inn again.

"I have something important to deal with temporarily, and I asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to interrogate the thief in person, so I should interrogate the thief."

"Now Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you have already interrogated the thief, and the thief was also deterred by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so he was willing to confess."

"If I go to interrogate, I guess I will have to interrogate for a few days before he will tell me what he has done."

Chen Mu saw that the county order was like this, and he shook his head.

He didn't take the words of the prefectural order to heart, and only remembered another question.

It's a matter for the carpenter's family in the city.

The county commander sighed leisurely.

"There is only one descendant of that carpenter family, I heard that their family is already thin, and this descendant was brought back from another Zhuangzi some time ago."

"The head of the carpenter's family and his wife were cold to the child, and not long after they brought the child back, they both fell ill and died."

When Chen Mu heard this, he nodded thoughtfully and responded.

Very few people in the city have seen the young man.

Chen Mu asked the question in his heart, and the county magistrate nodded.

"If I'm not mistaken, the young man was sent to Zhuangzi when he was less than ten years old, and when he was picked up, he was in his twenties, and everyone only remembers what he was like when he was a child."

I see, it's hard to say whether the person who took it back was a descendant of the carpenter family.

Thinking about it like this, Chen Mu waved his hand, preparing to send someone to investigate Zhuangzi, where the descendants of the carpenter family stayed.

As soon as he finished the order, he saw the county order and said with emotion.

"But the young man wasn't as kind as his parents."

"Since he became the head of the carpenter's family, and there was no heir in the family, he turned his attention to the shop."

"He ordered the carpenters in his house to work day and night to make furniture, and I heard that several carpenters in his house were already sick and tired, and two carpenters were exhausted to death!"

Chen Mu's eyes widened in shock when he heard this.

Exhausted?!

"What do you say? Can you exhaust people to death? Don't those carpenters know to resist? ”

"Of course he wanted to resist, but the young man hired several strong guards to watch over them, and locked them in the courtyard behind the shop, not allowing them to go out."

"If I hadn't had to go to the back of the shop and count the remaining timber, I wouldn't have known about it, but the young man would have kept it a secret."

When Chen Mu heard this, he frowned and nodded with emotion.

He thought for a moment and said to the county order.

"This is not what I expected, take me to the yard where the carpenter lived."

The county magistrate was stunned, and then immediately responded and nodded.

He knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cared about the people, and when he learned about this injustice, if he didn't see it for himself, he would definitely feel uneasy.

The house where the carpenters were closed was not very large, and the carpenters had to make furniture in the house and live in the house, which was a little crowded.

As soon as he stepped into the house, Chen Mu saw that there was a lot of wood piled up in the corner of the house.

Those woods were all extremely rare mahogany, and Chen Mu's eyes moved slightly, and he understood why the rich family of Liao had to risk breaking the law to cut down trees.

Such rare mahogany, if made into furniture, will definitely be worth a thousand gold.

It seems that the young man made a lot of money from this mahogany furniture, if the thousands of trees had been made into furniture and sold throughout Great Xia......

Chen Mu frowned.

But then again, are there really so many people who buy mahogany furniture?

It's rare in modern times, but it's not uncommon in ancient times.

While he was pondering, he suddenly heard a clicking sound from the courtyard gate in front of him.

A middle-aged man with a thin figure walked out slowly.

With a pale face, he looked up at Chen Muhe and the county commander who were standing at the door, and then he was stunned.

He didn't recognize Chen Mu, but he recognized the county order, he bowed to the county order, and thanked him again.

He still remembered the kindness of the county order to rescue them.

Seeing this, the county magistrate shook his head quietly.

Noticing the sad look on the middle-aged man's face, he raised an eyebrow and asked.

"What's wrong? I look at you, why are you worried? ”

"It's just a back road, now that you have arrested the owner of our shop, we have been locked up in this shop, and we have been making furniture for him, although the money we can get is limited."

"Anyway, he can give us something to eat and a place to sleep."

But if that man falls, the shop will be closed.

"We will have no way back, there are so many of us, where can we find suitable jobs?"

Chen Mu saw the carpenter's sad face, and couldn't help but be stunned, looking for a job? Is it hard?

They are all craftsmen, and it shouldn't be difficult to find a new employer for themselves.

He turned his head and glanced in the direction of the county order, and saw that the county order also frowned, Chen Mu became more and more surprised.

The county magistrate noticed Chen Mu's gaze, and he hurriedly said.

"Don't you know, there are quite a few carpenters in this shop, there are dozens of them, and if they are all allowed to leave this shop, they are afraid that they will have to go to other cities to find work."

"Moreover, it may not be possible to find a suitable one, they are all carpenters who have been supported by this carpenter family for a long time."

"The man who started this family of carpenters is also a carpenter, and the furniture he makes is very beautiful."

And most of the carpenters in this shop have also been passed down from the people who started the carpenter family.

Chen Mu didn't expect that there were dozens of carpenters living in this small courtyard.

He was a little surprised, and while Chen Mu and the county commander and the others were talking, a few more carpenters came out of the inner room, they were emaciated, their faces were pale, and they looked malnourished.

It had always been the young man who had treated them badly.

Chen Mu sighed, frowned, he glanced at the subordinates who followed behind him, and then said.

"I first ordered someone to build a new house around this house, and separate them, so that they don't live in one place."

"Other than that, you say you don't have a job to do...... Do you want to go to the capital? ”

Several people were stunned when they heard this, and glanced at each other, they didn't understand what Chen Mu meant by this.
