When the shopkeeper heard that it was the Hou Ye, he turned pale with fright, staggered and didn't stand firmly, and sat on the ground with his buttocks.

The two officials next to him also lost their temper in an instant, and sent Qianfeng and the others away with a smiling face.

And a few Jin Wuwei who were beaten and bruised and swollen in the private room, they also heard Zhang Mazi's shout just now, and learned that the extremely arrogant and domineering person just now was the marquis of the Yundian Marquis Mansion, and he didn't care about his injuries, so he limped out of the private room, planning to go back to the room to recuperate first, and wait for their General Zuo to come back.

When the two officials outside saw it, they hurriedly held the handle of the knife and went to interrogate, thinking that these people were beaten by the Hou Ye and others, and one was also arrested, and the remaining few are probably not good birds, and they may be able to be promoted and make a fortune if they are brought back for trial.

But as soon as he spoke, Jin Wuwei took out his waist card, which scared the two officials a lot, and secretly complained that today was too unlucky!

And the scene of Tianpin Pavilion Restaurant was fully seen by the soldiers of the Southern Yunnan Mansion left by Luo Zhengyan, and he quietly wrote everything he saw into a letter and sent it to the post station, while he himself continued to disguise himself as a hawker and stared at every move of the Yundian Marquis Mansion.

When he returned to the mansion, Qianfeng instructed his family to tie up the merchant from the Western Regions, serve him well, and ask him what he and Liang Cheng were plotting about.

And Qianfeng himself went back to the room and waited quietly for news.

After an hour, Zhang Mazi found Qianfeng.

Before Qianfeng waited for Zhang Mazi to salute, he couldn't wait to ask: "How is it?" Have the merchants of the Western Regions already confessed? What are he and Liang Cheng plotting? ”

Zhang Mazi shook his head.

Seeing this, Qianfeng was a little confused, he frowned and asked suspiciously: "Then why are you coming to me?" Hou Bai was excited, why don't you go to interrogate it soon? ”

Zhang Mazi's face was embarrassed, he scratched his head and replied with some embarrassment: "Master Hou, that Western Regions merchant's mouth is too hard!" He didn't confess at all! ”

"No confession? How did you interrogate and beat you up if you didn't confess? You can't even do such a trivial matter? ”

Qianfeng was slightly angry and a little unhappy.

Seeing this, Zhang Mazi was aggrieved, and he explained: "Master Hou, I followed the previous interrogation methods in the army, salute first and then soldier, and finally I used a leather whip and salt water, and the merchants of the Western Regions refused to say, I really had no choice but to come to you." ”

The whip with water goes down, but the skin is open, not to mention that this is still salt water, which is completely the strongest enchantment, this ordinary person can't bear this kind of torture, Qianfeng doesn't think that this Western Regions merchant can withstand it!

Is it possible? This matter discussed between the merchants of the Western Regions and Liang Cheng is very confidential? And it can still reach the level of decapitation? So this businessman from the Western Regions endured the great pain and didn't dare to speak? Thinking that you can survive without saying anything?

When Qianfeng was making a guess because of this, Zhang Mazi suddenly came to say.

"Master Hou, but when we were beating him, the merchant from the Western Regions said a lot, and we couldn't understand what he was talking about."

Hearing this, Qianfeng was almost so angry that he vomited blood from this pockmark, and if he didn't understand, it didn't mean that the merchants in the Western Regions didn't confess!

Qianfeng rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "Take me over to see!" ”

"Okay! Master Hou, please come with me! ”

Zhang Mazi led the way, and Qianfeng followed.

There was no torture room in the Mansion of the Marquis of Yundian, and Zhang Mazi, the place where the merchants of the Western Regions were imprisoned, was arranged in the firewood room.

When I arrived at the place, as soon as I entered the house, I saw that the merchants of the Western Regions were tied up with five flowers, and Zhang Mazi also got a hemp rope and hung it in the air using the beams of the house.

Qianfeng looked at it, the clothes of this merchant from the Western Regions had been torn and sunk into flesh and blood, he drooped his head, and he was already unconscious at this time.

Zhang Mazi picked up a basin full of salt water and threw it directly at the merchant of the Western Regions.

The wounds on his body were washed by the water, and the feeling of pain instantly spread all over his body, and the merchants of the Western Regions screamed after being woken up.

Qianfeng couldn't understand what the merchant of the Western Regions said, so he asked Zhang Mazi: "Do you know who in the city will understand this Western Regions dialect?" ”

Zhang Mazi scratched his head and replied: "Back to the Hou Ye, in the southern Yunnan city, as far as I know, there are only people in the yamen who understand, and these businessmen from the Western Regions are rarely seen. ”

Hearing this, Qianfeng was a little disappointed, he has no basis now, arresting this merchant from the Western Regions is not in line with the laws of the Great Zhou, if he goes to the Yamen to find a translator, it is obviously an unrealistic behavior, after all, although he is a marquis, but there are many people who want to engage him, if he is caught, he will be completely in a passive situation.

Just when he was feeling a headache about this, Qianfeng had an idea, and said loudly to Zhang Mazi: "Since there is no way to find this person who knows the Western Regions, Zhang Mazi, you will kill this Western Regions merchant, he and Liang Cheng, a dog, are mixed together, there must be no good thing, and he has killed a hundred!" ”

When Qianfeng said this, he secretly paid attention to the expression of the merchant in the Western Regions, he felt that this Liang Cheng didn't look like a person who knew the dialect of the Western Regions.

Sure enough, as Qianfeng expected, after hearing Qianfeng's words, the Western Regions businessman's pupils locked suddenly, and his eyes became frightened.

Seeing this scene, Qianfeng concluded that the merchant in front of him from the Western Regions understood the Great Zhou dialect, and if he could understand it, he would definitely be able to say it.

At this time, Zhang Mazi had already pulled out the long knife and was about to slaughter this merchant from the Western Regions.

"Wait a minute!"

Qianfeng stopped it.

Zhang Mazi turned around and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong with Master Hou?" What else do you command? ”

Qianfeng shook his head, waved his hand and said, "Don't kill it first, you go out and wait outside, no one is allowed to enter without my permission!" ”

Zhang Mazi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately took the order: "Obey, Master Hou, if you have something to shout, the villain will come in immediately!" ”

Qianfeng nodded, he didn't tell Zhang Mazi in detail, after all, this merchant in the Western Regions may know a lot of things, and once he leaks the news, it will not be of much value to himself.

Qianfeng concluded that this merchant from the Western Regions in front of him must know some important news!

As the door closed, Qianfeng glanced at the merchants of the Western Regions in front of him, and asked with a light smile: "Don't pretend, I know you can understand our Da Zhou dialect, if you continue to pretend to be stupid, I will really let someone kill you." ”

Seeing that he was recognized, the merchant of the Western Regions stopped pretending, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "I advise you to release me quickly!" Otherwise, Liang Cheng, the left general of your court, knew that I was arrested by you, and he would definitely not let you go, my status is noble, and it is not something that a person like you can provoke!! ”
