Chapter 326: Torture
With Geng Jiang's help, Geng Yang buried his mother under the crabapple tree in less than half an hour.
After he kowtowed to his mother, he turned to look at Geng Jiang and found that blood was oozing from his wound again.
Geng Yang opened his mouth slightly, but when he thought of something, he lowered his eyes and closed his mouth.
"Your wound."
Zhou Yunshu spoke for Geng Yang and said what he didn't say.
Geng Jiang smiled with a pale face: "Hahaha, it hurts a little."
Zhou Yunshu looked at Geng Jiang speechlessly, then took out a small celadon bottle from her arms and said, "Apply the medicine again."
"Once you've treated your wounds, we'll light the fire."
"good."
After a stick of incense, the entire county government office was engulfed in flames.
Geng Jiang left some people to put out the fire when it was almost completely burned out, while he himself followed Zhou Yunshu and others, hiding at the entrance of the alley and watching the county government office being gradually engulfed by the flames.
On the other hand, Wu Gui and others finally felt relieved when they saw the county government office on fire.
The fire in the county government office meant that Zhou Yunshu was fine.
Zhou Yunshu and her group did not wait for news from Yu Yinghao and others near the county government office. When she saw that the county government office was almost burned down and attracted a lot of people's attention, she took Chu San, Geng Jiang and others back to the alley behind the inn to find Wu Gui and others.
Wu Gui and Chun Que were waiting for Zhou Yunshu in the alley, so when Zhou Yunshu and the other three appeared, they immediately went out to greet them.
"Are you hurt?"
Zhou Yunshu looked at Wu Gui who was worried about her and smiled, "No."
Kang Jingyu rented a yard nearby, and now all of Zhou Yunshu's subordinates live in this yard.
When Wu Gui brought Zhou Yunshu and others to the yard, many people were already sitting on the steps and leaning against the pillars and fell asleep.
"master!"
"Boss!"
"Master!"
Meng Nan was pushed up by Wan Zhong, while Jing Gao immediately stood up from the ground when Zhou Yunshu came in.
"Is everything alright?"
Wan Zhong, Jing Gao and the others all shook their heads. Meng Nan rubbed his eyes and immediately said to Zhou Yunshu proudly, "Master, let me tell you, I was the one who discovered that there was something wrong with those idiots in the inn!"
This achievement is his own, and he must make it clear. He is also hoping to accumulate merits to get rid of his status!
"Not only did the people at the inn serve us more food than usual, they even gave us some wine. My mother says there's no such thing as a free lunch. There must be something wrong with them!"
"I was very clever. I immediately asked the shopkeeper to drink and eat meat with me, but he refused to eat a single bite. Damn it, he was exposed!"
"He wanted to run away, but who are we? We pinned them to the ground in no time, pried open his mouth, and stuffed the wine and meat into his mouth. It's such a shame to waste so much wine and meat. I haven't had dinner yet, and I'm starving."
Zhou Yunshu looked at Meng Nan, who gradually strayed from the topic while talking, and didn't know what to say.
"Wait till daybreak and buy some more food."
Jing Gao heard that Zhou Yunshu seemed to be in no hurry to leave Nanchuan, so he asked, "Aren't we leaving?"
"No, the leader of the group that broke in is already dead, and the rest have been captured by Geng Dadang. We don't need to worry."
Zhou Yunshu looked at the sleepy people in the yard and said, "Leave a few people to keep watch, and let everyone rest."
Although it is still dark now, it will probably be dawn in less than an hour. It is better to rest while you still can.
Geng Jiang originally wanted to take Geng Yang with him, but Geng Yang refused to follow him.
There was no other choice but to hand Geng Yang over to Chu San, and Geng Jiang found a room to lie down and sleep.
He has been injured and has been holding on until now, and he is exhausted.
So when Wan Zhong brought Yu Yinghao to the yard two hours later, Geng Jiang was lying on the bed with no intention of waking up.
Zhou Yunshu only slept for an hour and a half. When she woke up, she washed her face with cold water, and then she became a little more awake.
"Have they caught everyone?"
After Zhou Yunshu finished asking, Yu Yinghao subconsciously replied, "They were all caught. It was just that when they were at the Liu family, someone was rather treacherous and took Boss Liu's youngest son as a hostage."
"Although Boss Liu has many sons, he likes this oldest son very much. He originally wanted to let the bandit go, but his wife, the one from the main house, took a bow and arrow and shot the child in the chest without saying a word. It was so cruel, I don't know if he is his biological son."
"Anyway, the bandit thought the child was dead, so he abandoned the child and tried to escape. However, before he could even take two steps, he was arrested by the Liu family's guards."
Zhou Yunshu curled her index finger and rubbed her brow, "Where is the person who was caught?"
“They’re all locked up.”
"The city gate is not open?"
Yu Yinghao nodded, "No."
Zhou Yunshu looked at Chunque and said, "Take your men and follow Mr. Yu to interrogate that group of people and find out where their lair is. Also, find out if there are any other accomplices in the city."
Chunque nodded, "Yes, Master."
Yu Yinghao came here in a daze, and was arranged by Zhou Yunshu to leave behind Chunque in a daze.
Wu Gui looked at Zhou Yunshu, who looked like she had a headache, and asked, "Do you want to go back to sleep for a while?"
"No need. Let's finish the matter in Nanchuan so we can leave."
As for the family affairs of the Hong and Liu families, or the matters between them and Geng Jiang, Zhou Yunshu had no intention of interfering.
"Just leaving like that?"
Zhou Yunshu smiled: "When have you ever seen me leave empty-handed?"
After Zhou Yunshu said this, Wu Gui also laughed.
A lot happened yesterday, so today is much calmer, or rather, much more lively.
After someone spread the news that Geng Jiang, the "bandit leader", was dead, there were laughter and joy everywhere outside. Even though there were still bandits in the city, it could not stop the joyful voices of the people of Nanchuan.
This made Geng Jiang very unhappy when he woke up.
After applying the medicine, he sat on a wooden bench and complained to Zhou Yunshu, "Those people in Nanchuan are so ungrateful. It's ok for them not to be grateful for meeting a bandit like me, but they're actually so happy after my death."
"If I were like the group that captured Kui County, would they still be able to laugh?"
"As expected, good people don't get good rewards. Fortunately, I don't want to be a good person anymore. I'd better go and join the King of Huainan. I've had enough of this awful life!"
Zhou Yunshu listened to Geng Jiang's muttering beside her, and sat aside with a pen writing a letter.
The letter was written to Hu Zi and Du Mazi, asking them how they were doing with the things he had asked them to do before.
Yu Yinghao and Chunque returned just as Geng Jiang was chattering away. Geng Jiang's resentment finally dissipated a little when he saw Yu Yinghao. "Old Yu, did you crush those people to death?"
Yu Yinghao glanced at Zhou Yunshu and said to Geng Jiang, "He wasn't pressed to death, and he even got some bad news."
Yu Yinghao's face now looks no different from a bitter melon.
After he finished speaking to Geng Jiang, he looked at Zhou Yunshu and said, "Brother Chun, torture me to extract some information."
"The group of leaders who once committed crimes in Yuncheng and Kui County are less than 20 miles away from us with their men. They could rush to Nanchuan at any time."
