Chapter 348: Threats and Questions
Ning Chuyi twisted his eyebrows and asked Ling Chu, "You just mentioned Pingji Cang......"
Halfway through his words, Ning Chuyi suddenly turned his head and looked towards the courtyard wall.
happened to see that on the wall where Teng Xiang was lying before, there was a small guy who was looking this way. Seeing that it was discovered, he retracted his head with a whoosh.
Ning Chuyi jumped up to the wall quickly and rushed towards the little guy.
The little guy slid down the ladder in terror as he warned the guards in the distance.
As soon as the guard saw Ning Chuyi, his face changed greatly, and he ran away.
Wei Feng threw down Teng Xiang and climbed over the wall, and Ning Chuyi and Yin Xu immediately went to arrest the guard.
Ling Chu took Teng Xiang out from the side gate of Zuo Shilang's mansion and went around to the gate of his house.
The little guy guarding the door looked stunned when he saw Teng Xiang.
He remembered that he didn't see the little master leaving the house, why did he suddenly come in from outside?
Teng Xiang saw Ning Chuyi and the others rushing into his house to arrest people, and was worried about his mother, so he didn't pay attention to the little guy at all, and rushed inside with his little short legs.
The little guy guarding the door saw Ling Chu following Teng Xiang in the past, and just wanted to step forward to stop her, but saw that there was a team of brocade guards behind her. The little guy was immediately so frightened that his legs were weak, where did he dare to stop people.
When Ling Chu followed Teng Xiang into the inner house, Ning Chuyi and the people had already controlled all the people in the house.
Teng Xiang saw that she was untidy and her hair was crooked, and next to her was Uncle Li, whom he hated.
Immediately clenched his little fist and rushed towards Li Yao with an angry small cannonball, "You big villain, are you bullying my mother again, I want to kill you......"
Wu Meiniang was originally messing with Li Yao in the bedroom, but she was shocked by the Jinyi guard who suddenly broke into the door. I hurriedly got dressed, and I was caught in the yard.
At this time, he was uneasy, and when he saw his son, he immediately wanted to rush towards him, "Xiang'er......"
But he was stopped by Jinyiwei, "Don't move." β
And Teng Xiang, who rushed halfway, was grabbed by Wei Feng by the neckline and picked it up.
Li Yao, who was being held by two brocade guards with knives, his face sank.
Wu Meiniang shouted in a panic, "Let go of my son, he is only five years old and doesn't understand anything." How can you be so shameless as to take him hostage! β
Wei Feng sneered, holding Teng Xiang in one hand and pulling out the embroidered spring knife in the other, "Jinyi Wei handles the case, what we interrogate, you will answer honestly, otherwise it will ......"
Otherwise, Wei Feng didn't say anything, but shook the sharp embroidered spring knife.
Wu Meiniang's face turned pale, for fear of stimulating Wei Feng, so she didn't dare to make any moves at all.
This Wu Meiniang is Teng Chong's outer room, and her house is next to Teng Chong's house, maybe she will find something last night.
Although it is indeed too much to threaten a child, they are ruthless brocade guards. In order to find out what happened last night and give an explanation to those brothers who were killed, he Wei Feng didn't mind being a villain.
Li Yao was held by two embroidered spring knives around his neck, and he couldn't move at all, so he could only say with a gloomy face, "What if you are Jinyiwei, we stay in our own house in a proper manner, how can you break in and arrest people for no reason." β
Wei Feng almost couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, "Let's not talk about anything else, just your affair with Teng Chong's outer room, this matter is enough to cure your crime." β
Li Yao and Wu Meiniang's faces both changed, and outsiders didn't know about Teng Chongyang's outer room, Wu Meiniang only moved into this house half a year ago.
In order not to be bumped into by Teng Chong's main room, Wu Meiniang hardly goes out on weekdays, and there are even fewer people who have seen her, they didn't expect Jinyiwei to find out her identity.
Ling Chu glanced at Wei Feng and saw that although he pulled out the embroidered spring knife, he didn't kill Teng Xiang, so he knew that he was just taking him hostage.
Took Ning Chuyi and them to the cellar.
In order not to attract attention in this house, Teng Chong arranged not many people to wait, and no one dared to come up to stop him at this moment.
Seeing that Ning Chuyi and the others were going in the direction of the cellar, Li Yao's face changed. Although he had the intention to stop it, he was helplessly stared at by a bunch of brocade guards, and he knew that he was not their opponent at all.
After going down to the cellar, Ning Chuyi soon saw the seven or eight bags of tribute rice, and the words "Pingji Cang" were on the rice bags.
Although the Pingji warehouse is an official warehouse, the official grain in it is mainly used to help the people in the famine year.
However, the tribute rice is generally stored in a special grain depot in the palace, and it is impossible to steal or exchange it.
Only before being transported into the palace can there be a chance to be tampered with.
But Teng Chong was not in charge of the warehouse, and he had never dealt with the right servant of the household, and he searched his house and did not find a single grain of tribute rice, but there were seven or eight bags in his outer house.
No matter how you think about it, it's strange.
Ning Chuyi asked people to move all the tribute rice out.
Wu Meiniang panicked when she saw it, although she didn't understand the affairs of the court, but she also knew that these tribute rice was not something that ordinary people could eat.
"From the truth, where did you get all this tribute rice?"
Wu Meiniang didn't speak, and subconsciously looked at Li Yao.
Li Yao pursed his lips and hung his head silently.
Wei Feng immediately shook the knife in his hand and threatened with a calm face, "Don't say it? Then I'll chop off his hand. β
Although Teng Xiang is a little bully, he has never seen such a scene.
Seeing Wei Feng shaking the big knife viciously, he cried in fright, "Mother, mother, mother, save me." β
Wu Meiniang's face was white, "Xiang'er......, let my son go." β
Wu Meiniang cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, and Wei Feng was unmoved, "I don't want your son to be cut down, so I honestly confess where these tribute rice came from." β
Wu Meiniang opened her mouth, but glanced at Li Yao, but closed her mouth again.
Seeing the movement of the two, Wei Feng sneered and raised the knife in his hand.
Wu Meiniang's face changed greatly, and she finally couldn't help but speak, "These rice were brought by Escort Li." β
Ning Chuyi looked at Li Yao and asked in a cold voice, "Where did you get the tribute rice?" β
Li Yao glanced at him and bowed his head silently.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the knives in the hands of the two brocade guards beside him hit his neck, and blood immediately flowed down his neck.
When Teng Xiang saw the blood, he was even more frightened and cried.
Wei Feng not only didn't stop, but the knife in his hand slashed at his neck.
Wu Meiniang shouted while struggling frantically, "Wait a minute, don't kill my son." β
Wei Feng stopped, but did not withdraw the knife.
Although Wu Meiniang wanted to confess, she didn't know where Li Yao got the rice.
She had also asked curiously about the origin of these rice, but Li Yao didn't tell her, only asked her not to ask what she shouldn't ask.
Wu Meiniang guessed that the rice was coming from the wrong way, and she hid it in the cellar on weekdays, and asked the cook to secretly cook it for her son.
Although the two houses were close to each other, Teng Chong didn't want his wife to know that he had raised an outer room, and he didn't come to this house every day.
Wu Meiniang said to Li Yao with a white face, "Brother Li, Xiang'er is your son, do you want to see death and not save it?" β
