Tang Yu put down the cloth bag, squatted down, opened the mouth of the bag, and said with a smile: "If you don't talk about eating and drinking here, I can't ...... it."

In the bag was a small jar of wine and seven or eight flattened steamed buns.

Xiong Yaohua wiped his face and asked in surprise: "The house is destroyed like this, where did you find these things, and they haven't been damaged?"

"Just behind that, there's a black chimney, probably the kitchen. Tang Yu pointed with his finger and turned his head again, "Pulled out from under the two broken beams......"

Xiong Yaohua took a steamed bun, threw it in his mouth, and swallowed it in two bites.

While saying, "You eat too." ”

Tang Yu opened the seal of the wine jar, took two sips first, and then handed it to him: "Well, this wine is good, you can taste it too." Drinking soju on steamed buns, this is the first time I've heard of this way?"

"It's good to have food and drink, and you can pick and choose. Xiong Yaohua took the wine jar and took two sips with his head up.

The two men had finished eating and drinking, and stood up.

Because of the wine, Xiong Yaohua felt comfortable all over, and the injury on his waist was not so painful. He waved his hand and said heroically, "Let's go, let's go to the town and have a look, maybe we can meet Lord Lin and them?"

"That's fine. Tang Yu echoed and said, "Maybe Xiong Dajing's whereabouts have already been discovered by adults, and it may be possible that he will be successfully rescued." ”

The two walked inside along the potholed streets.

The streets were silent.

In the distance, black smoke was rising from the shells.

Turning two streets, at the door of a house, Xiong Yaohua and Tang Yu saw an old man in a blue cloth coat with his head hooked and squatting on the steps outside the door. Holding a broom in his hand, he couldn't stop wiping his tears.

The two of them were not surprised, and stepped forward to ask, "Old man, what are you sad about this early morning?"

The old man raised his head and looked scared: "I ......"

"Just say anything, don't worry, we're not bad people. Tang Yu spoke comfortingly.

The old man shrugged his nose and whispered: "My family has lived in Dongting Xishan Island for a long time, fishing is a business, and there is only one son under my knees. I only married my daughter-in-law last winter. I never get close to those water thieves on weekdays. How did you suddenly become a 'gangster'?"

"Bandits, what an important event is this, there is no evidence, which **** dares to talk nonsense?" Xiong Yaohua opened his voice.

The old man was obviously frightened, the corners of his mouth trembled, and he snorted for a while, but he didn't say why.

Seeing this, Tang Yu explained: "Don't be afraid, he won't do anything to you." The two of us are from the government, and we came to this island to fight water bandits......"

Not to mention the government, the old people seem to be more scared.

He trembled and got up, peeked in through the crack in the door, turned his head, and his face was full of horror: "Hugh said the official mansion, early this morning, my son was taken away by the official army?"

"Why did they want to arrest him?" asked Tang Yu.

"It is said that he is rebellious and colludes with water thieves......"

"Where's the evidence?" Xiong Yaohua couldn't help but ask.

"What kind of evidence do you need for the official family to arrest someone?" The old man's facial features were wrinkled together, looking bitter, "Haven't you always entered the house, broke the door into the house, and left when you were caught?"

"The new emperor ascended the throne, and this rule has changed. In the future, our Ming Dynasty will pay attention to the legal system. Xiong Yaohua was quite impatient.

Tang Yu interjected: "You let the old man finish his words-"

Xiong Yaohua frowned and waved his hand: "You say!"

The old man put down the broom in his hand and sighed: "I don't understand what you said, and I can't understand it." I knew that those who were taken away by the officers and soldiers had to be ransomed with money if they wanted to be released on bail and returned home. ”

"It's silver again, why do I have a headache when I hear this now. Xiong Yaohua was unbearable.

"How can you do it without mentioning the money? After paying the guarantee money, you will say that you are a good citizen, and let you go home......"

"What if you insist on not handing it in?"

"God, who has the guts to do this. The old man complained again and again, saying, "If you don't hand over the bail money, the officers and soldiers will throw people into prison, beat them to death, and toss them to death." If you are imprisoned for a year and a half, it is considered light, and if you are charged with 'gangsters', you will be beheaded!"

Tang Yu expressed deep sympathy and said, "Old man, then you are standing at the door early in the morning and shedding tears for this?"

Before the old man could speak, Xiong Yaohua looked at him a few times and shook his head violently: "No, no, even if the old man is sad, he can hide in his own house." Why run outside and cry? Even if you want to be outside, you don't necessarily have to let your family bolt the door and lock him out of the hospital, right?"

After he mentioned this, Tang Yu also felt that this matter was indeed abnormal.

Xiong Yaohua couldn't bear it anymore, clenched his two big fists, glared at the old man with tears rippling, and shouted angrily: "If you have something to say, what's the use of shedding tears......?"

"My son has been taken away, no, just now a few more officers and soldiers came to the door and said that they wanted to interrogate the confession-"

"What about these people?" Xiong Yaohua stood up.

The old man pointed into the courtyard: "Isn't this in the house?"

The more Tang Yu listened, the more confused he became, and he was a little confused: "Didn't those officers and soldiers come to interrogate confessions? Who are they interrogating?"

"These people said that there were key issues to check, so I interrogated my daughter-in-law separately......"

"Since you are an interrogator, why are you so mysterious?" Xiong Yaohua was stunned.

"No, according to the rule of six doors, the interrogation of female suspects must be accompanied by the corresponding female prison officer. Tang Yu was full of suspicion and asked, "How can these men be interrogated in isolation?"

The old man stuttered: "They say that women are timid and don't make up nonsense, and they may say it if they are scared." ”

Xiong Yaohua rolled up his sleeves: "Hmph, I think these guys are just afraid that they won't be well!" and then asked, "How long have they been in?"

"When you came, they had just arrived. ”

"Confused, why didn't you say it earlier!" Xiong Yaohua roared angrily and ran up the steps in three steps and two steps. I pushed it with my hand, and the door was dead from the inside.

He stared at the old man, and the muscles on his face jumped: "Who closed the door of this courtyard?"

The old man averted his eyes: "It's those ...... who are soldiers"

"Why don't you call someone?"

"The neighbors were taken away. "They said that the interrogation should be kept secret. ”

"Got it!"

Tang Yu came to the wall, stood on tiptoe, and tried to climb up the wall. Xiong Yaohua waved his hand, used all his strength, raised his foot and kicked violently at the two thin door panels!

As soon as there was a click, not only the latch of the door was broken, but even the upper and lower door shafts were all out of their mortars and flew straight out. The tart fell into the courtyard with a thud.

"Lord Xiong, what a lot of strength!" Tang Yu gave a thumbs up.

Xiong Yaohua pursed his lips and said, "What is this, if I don't hurt my waist, I will even kick down his mother's gatehouse!" (To be continued.) )
