Chapter 296: Three Forces

If the other force was someone from the Xie family, maybe now he Xie Qingshan and his parents had been detained.

After all, if he was a member of the Xie family, he would never give himself any chance to turn around.

From this, it is not difficult to infer that the other group of people now is very likely not to be from the Xie family.

Of course, Xie Qingshan didn't dare to be 100% sure of this matter.

After all, no one knows if it's a long line fishing for big fish.

Once any situation occurs on your side, it is estimated that you will encounter a catastrophe.

But at least for now, it's not that bad.

In addition, why is there such a hurry, I think something unexpected must have happened.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to ask him about it in a hurry.

While thinking of this, Xie Qingshan couldn't help frowning slightly.

A possibility came to his mind.

Perhaps the man who was arrested is now dead.

In this way, it can explain why the other group of cases are so anxious.

Come to mind. Xie Qingshan couldn't help but admire Qin He even more in his heart.

In fact, Xie Qingshan's guess was not right.

Because the day after he returned, the man named Huzi who was captured had been tortured to death.

Even if Huzi was tortured to death, he never revealed any news.

Under all kinds of torture, the only obsession in Huzi's heart is not to betray his own Lord Qin.

Huzi knew that if it weren't for Lord Qin, they would probably have died under the terrifying tax at the beginning.

It was nothing for him to die, but he didn't want his wife and children to die of starvation.

At that time, he was extremely desperate.

However, Lord Qin's appearance became a ray of hope for them.

Since then, they have never suffered from famine, nor have they grieved over hunger.

Huzi can be regarded as the first batch of people who signed up for the militia.

Although he was not the one who followed Lord Qin from the beginning.

But because of his excellent ability, he has the opportunity to follow Liu Qiang now.

It is precisely because of this that he can't betray Lord Qin, nor can he betray Brother Qiang.

He has always kept this kindness in his heart, and now he can be regarded as repaying Lord Qin's kindness.

Until the moment of Huzi's death, his eyes were still full of longing for hope for his future life.

He is not looking forward to his own future, but the future of his wife and children.

Because of living in such a place, he believes that his wife and children will have a better life.

Before he died, the corners of Huzi's mouth rose slightly, as if he saw some beautiful picture.

……

The capital, outside the city.

A corpse was tied to a torture rack and displayed in front of everyone.

No one knows what kind of mistake this corpse has made to get to where it is now.

But the passers-by all left in a hurry, not daring to take another look.

There were also two officers and soldiers standing next to the corpse, their eyes looking at the passers-by from time to time.

Once you find that someone is wrong or looks wrong, you will come forward to interrogate as soon as possible.

There were many people who were interrogated, but the vast majority were just passers-by.

Of the two officers and soldiers who were not cross-examined, one was in a hurry.

When he saw the corpse tied to the torture rack, his eyes were even redder.

He forcibly suppressed the emotions in his heart and left step by step.

This person is none other than Liu Qiang.

Liu Qiang took the risk to come in order to determine whether something had happened to Huzi.

In fact, if you want to say who is the most suitable person to go into the city to inquire among this group, Liu Qiang is the only one.

Because now he has the documents given by Lin Erzi at the beginning, speaking of which, he can be regarded as a person in the court today.

But everyone knows that there can be no surprises in this matter.

Therefore, from the beginning, they did not plan to let Liu Qiang go.

And now that something like this has happened, Liu Qiang doesn't plan to continue like this.

Brother Qin's explanation was important, but he didn't want to see his brother's life in vain.

Especially when he took the risk and came to inquire outside the city, his eyes were even more red when he saw the corpse tied to the torture rack.

The trembling body quickly attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers.

Yes, Liu Qiang was also stopped.

With a burst of applause, a person appeared before Liu Qiang's death and blocked his way.

When Liu Qiang looked up, he found a wide and fat officer and soldier tied to him.

"Stop! What do you do? ”

When he heard this, Liu Qiang also came back to his senses.

Before, he had a gloomy face, but now he has a different expression.

A face that looked a little flattering fell in love with the officer and soldier.

"Brother, I'm here to help my lord do something."

Hearing Liu Qiang call his brother, the expression on the officer and soldier's face obviously became a little ugly.

"Who is your brother? You ......"

However, before he finished his words, he had already seen Liu Qiang take out a piece of paper from his pocket.

There was a little bit of silver underneath the paperwork.

The officer and soldier's already ugly face eased a little at the moment.

When he took the paperwork and looked at it, his face changed slightly.

Then he quietly put the broken silver under the paperwork into his sleeve.

When all this was done, he coughed lightly.

"It turned out to be a local brother, since you have something to do, then go and busy you, don't wander around here."

Hearing the words of this officer and soldier, Liu Qiang nodded again and again.

"That's nature, that's nature."

Perhaps it was because Liu Qiang's reaction satisfied the officer and soldier, so he smiled.

"Don't say brother, I don't remind you! Right now, outside the city, it's a hurry! ”

"You'd better not run around, when you get into trouble, I guess your family won't be able to save you when they come."

I don't know if it's because of taking Liu Qiang's benefits, this officer and soldier obviously said a lot.

Hearing this, Liu Qiang pretended to be surprised.

"What's going on, brother? Is it convenient to talk to my little brother? I don't want to get in trouble then. ”

While speaking, Liu Qiang took out a few taels of silver from his sleeve.

Obviously, these taels of silver are a lot more than the previous broken silver.

When the officer and soldier saw the few taels of silver in front of him, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

For him, this is just lip service.

If you say it, you will say it.

Being able to earn so much silver in a few words is naturally a good thing.

He continued to speak.

"Although I don't know which lord ordered it, but now some bandits are being arrested outside the city, and as for why they were arrested, the above has not been clearly explained."

When he heard this, Liu Qiang couldn't help frowning slightly.

"That's it! Let's go! ”

Originally, he planned to continue to ask, but the next moment, the officer and soldier had already issued an order to expel the guest.
