It took Wei Yao a while to react before she murmured, "I'm afraid things won't end so simply."
Zheng Quchi also agreed: "Of course, we should hand over the culprit who killed these two treacherous officials. However, we cannot just do this directly. The Prince of Ye has been eyeing our Four Symbols Army for a long time. We are afraid that he will use this incident as a pretext. We must first arrange everything properly and completely clear ourselves of any connection between their deaths and us."
Wang Zebang understood. He thought for a moment and said, "So, they couldn't have died within our jurisdiction?"
"That's the idea, but that alone isn't enough. We need to do something else to distract them," she said thoughtfully.
"Anything else?" the two asked at the same time.
Zheng Quchi almost laughed at their questions, but he felt burdened by troubles and couldn't laugh much: "I don't have a definite plan for how to arrange this. First, we need to find out the true identities of these bandits. I suspect they are not bandits at all. No, that's not quite accurate. I suspect they must have had other identities before they became bandits."
Wang Zebang nodded: "Indeed, they are completely different from ordinary bandits. They not only have a large number of regular weapons, but also know how to use them."
“Not only that, they seem to know something about our affairs as well. In short, these people’s identities are definitely not simple, so you should investigate as soon as possible. This matter cannot be delayed for long, nor can it be kept secret for long. We must come up with a solution to get rid of this trouble before we get the news from the Prince of Ye.” After Zheng Quchi finished speaking, he thought of something else: “There is also the matter of Princess Sheng’an.”
"Then leave this to me. I'll make sure they tell me the whole truth without missing a single word," Wei Yao said, a sinister glint in his eyes.
I've heard that Wei Yao is very skilled at interrogation.
Zheng Quchi did not object. It was not unreasonable to use some extreme measures to deal with these murderers and robbers. She simply said, "Among these bandits, there are two named Xiao San and Xiao Qi. Don't touch them yet."
As Madam commands, Wei Yao will obey.
After discussing business, Wei Yao finally had a chance to ask Zheng Quchi about her disappearance: "Madam, how did you end up in the bandit's den? Could it be that you were investigating a case for Ze Bang?"
Hearing that the county officials were under pressure from their superiors and were extremely anxious about finding the bandits, they turned to Wang Zebang for help.
Wang Zebang was really something else. He actually demanded a reward from the county government before he would help. Of course, the county government agreed without hesitation. Could it be that his wife was risking her life to get this reward?
He had no idea that the idea of getting things done for money was actually suggested by Zheng Quchi.
"Of course not."
Zheng Quchi rejected it outright.
Does she look like the kind of person who would ask for money but refuse to take it?
