Song Qingyou was cooking, when he was called over by the official, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he looked at the masked people.

"Who are these people?"

Song Qingyou asked in a low voice beside Xiao Qishu.

Xiao Qishu shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Song Qingyou wanted to ask anything more, but those people had already spoken.

"The Xiao family embezzled and took bribes and collected money, but when the house was raided, the money was gone, Your Majesty was particularly angry when he heard it, you all gave me an honest explanation, where was the money hidden, and I could suffer less sin later."

The masked man at the head swept over everyone present with a fierce look, and his tone was full of threat.

Song Qingyou's heart tightened, thinking of the fact that he had looted the Xiao Mansion's private treasury before being exiled, and his expression couldn't help but become a little strange.

Could it be because they couldn't find the Xiao family's money when they searched the house, thinking that the people of the Xiao family had transferred those belongings in advance, so they came here to investigate this matter?

However, Song Qingyou quickly calmed down, and no one found out anyway, as long as he didn't say it, then no one would know the truth of the matter.

"You'd better tell everything you know, otherwise when the time comes, I'm afraid you won't have a good life."

Listening to the beating of the masked man, everyone did not speak for a while.

Seeing this, the masked man walked directly in front of Xiao Qishu, and said in a somewhat arrogant tone: "Lord Xiao, what do you want to say?" ”

Xiao Qishu looked at a few people without humility or arrogance when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "No." ”

The masked man's eyes narrowed, and he snorted coldly: "Why don't you think you don't say it, we have no choice?" ”

With that, the masked man turned to face the others, his voice a little more stern.

"You all give me an honest account, and maybe you can still get forgiveness, so you'd better not be obsessed."

The masked man's gaze swept over everyone, and the people in the second room of the big house had already unconsciously become a little more timid after this period of hard work, so when facing the masked man's gaze, they couldn't help but start to dodge their eyes, and said one by one that they didn't know anything about corruption and bribery.

didn't get the answer he wanted, just when the masked leader became more and more impatient, suddenly Xiao Ningning stood up.

"My lord, I ...... I have something to say. ”

Xiao Ningning's words made everyone present look at her, and Song Qingyou also looked at her, for some reason, the moment she heard Xiao Ningning speak, she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

Sure enough, in the next second, I saw Xiao Ningning pointing towards him, and said in a smug tone: "I know, all the money left by the little uncle is with Song Qingyou, if you want to know where the money is, just ask Song Qingyou." ”

Song Qingyou's face sank, and he scolded Xiao Ningning coldly: "What are you crazy about?" ”

She really can't get rid of her grievances, and she wants to frame herself when she gets the slightest opportunity.

At this moment, Song Qingyou has the heart to kill.

"Really?"

The masked leader looked at Song Qingyou, but he was asking Xiao Ningning.

"Are you telling the truth? If you dare to lie to us......"

"What I said is true, no, you can ask the officials and adults present, they all know that Song Qingyou has spent a lot of money on the way, and she is willing to hire a carriage, she must have hidden money on her body."

Xiao Ningning opened his mouth resentfully, hating to directly step Song Qingyou into the mud.

"That's right, she should have hidden some money on her body."

Seeing the masked leader look over, the bearded man nodded and admitted Xiao Ningning's statement.

Although he fell in love with Song Qingyou, he offended these unknown dignitaries in front of him for the sake of a female prisoner, and the gains outweighed the losses.

Hearing the bearded man's affirmative reply, the masked leader walked directly towards Song Qingyou.

"You are Mrs. Xiao San, you must know where all the money is?"

The masked leader was aggressive, Song Qingyou struggled to keep his composure, shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

"Do you dare not say it? Someone, get her and arrest her. ”

The masked leader gave an order, and the two officials immediately stood up and controlled Song Qingyou.

"You let me go."

Song Qingyou struggled, but it didn't help at all.

Xiao Qishu's face was gloomy, and he stepped forward to protect Song Qingyou behind him, but was directly stopped by the bearded man and others.

"Lord Xiao, don't embarrass everyone."

As he spoke, the handle of the knife in his hand moved, and the blade was slightly unsheathed.

Obviously, if Xiao Qishu insisted on going his own way, the bearded man and the others would definitely do it.

Xiao Qishu looked at the masked people coldly, and scolded: "You dare to do it, do you want to ignore the king's law and ignore people's lives?" ”

"We just want to get the answers we want, and since no one wants to say it, we have to use some extraordinary means."

"You dare!"

Xiao Qishu scolded coldly, and there was a murderous intent hidden in his cold eyes.

The masked leader met the pair of eyes, and the whole person was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes flashed, and he felt a kind of retreat inexplicably, but thinking of Xiao Qishu's current identity, he immediately became angry again.

"You're just an exiled prisoner now, do you think you're a former general?"

As if he wanted to make up for himself, the masked leader said viciously, but the original idea of being tortured to extract a confession was put aside, and he waved his hand casually and ordered.

"Lock her up in the firewood room, when she is willing to confess, when she will release her again."

"Yes."

The two officials who grabbed Song Qingyou immediately agreed, grabbed Song Qingyou's arms one left and one right, and headed the person towards the firewood room.

Song Qingyou didn't struggle, because she knew that struggling now would be useless, so she could only obediently follow the officials and leave.

Xiao Qishu's worried gaze fell on Song Qingyou's back, but in the end he didn't say anything.

The smile on Xiao Ningning's face was not hidden at all, and it hung directly on his face.

"Song Qingyou, I'll take a good look at how you die."

Xiao Ningning's eyes flashed with a touch of resentment, and his heart was already happy.

"Get in."

When he came to the door of the firewood room, the official stretched out his hand and pushed Song Qingyou directly and unceremoniously.

Song Qingyou staggered two steps, and looked back at the official messenger with dissatisfaction, but the official messenger had already closed the door of the firewood room.

Secretly saying bad luck, Song Qingyou looked around the environment of the firewood room and found that there were sundries everywhere, and the entire firewood room was filled with this rotten and unpleasant smell.

Song Qingyou's face changed, and his brows furrowed slightly.

But she wasn't too worried.

Those people should not dare to do anything to themselves, even if there is any danger, they can still find a way to escape.
