The aunt and nephew took Heizi and Mazi to the woodshed.
Shanshui's family has a special firewood room next to the kitchen.
"Jinxing, go to the kitchen and get a kitchen knife, and bring some chili powder, salt, and other things."
Cheng Yue tied up Heizi and Mazi with ropes again to prevent them from escaping.
"What do you want with that?"
Cheng Jinxing asked.
Heizi and Mazi had a bad feeling in their hearts, and there was some fear in their eyes.
"You've been in the government office for so long, and you don't even know the term 'torture to extract a confession'? Go now!"
Cheng Yue turned around and gave Cheng Jinxing a cold look.
Cheng Jinxing shuddered. Well, he had been in the yamen for so long, but he had never seen such a thing. After all, their Lord Ji was a good official who loved the people like his own children. He was smart and there was no need to torture him to extract a confession!
"Girl, if you want to ask something, just ask it directly. There's no need to do this!"
Heizi even stuttered when he spoke.
"I'm just taking precautions! If you guys don't talk properly, I'll cut you with a kitchen knife first, then sprinkle salt and chili powder on it! Oh, and your accent doesn't sound like you're from Yunzhou Prefecture. I wonder if you eat chili peppers there, but they're delicious anyway. I just don't know what it feels like to sprinkle it on a wound!"
Cheng Yue looked eager to try.
"Oh, auntie. Just ask whatever you want! We promise to tell you everything. You can know anything you want to know! Really!"
Ma Zi was beaten by Shanshui just now, and now it hurts every time he moves his mouth, but there is nothing he can do, he has to beg for mercy!
He is not really a tough guy. At best, he is just a good guy. He knows the current situation and knows that a good guy will not suffer a loss in front of him.
"Did Xu Yingying find you?"
Cheng Yue pulled a bench, sat down and asked.
"Hmmmm!"
The two nodded repeatedly.
"Which prefecture are you from? How did she find you?"
Cheng Yue asked again.
Cheng Jinxing found something and came over. His aunt had already started interrogating them, so he stood next to the two of them with salt and chili powder and a kitchen knife, hoping that he could act quickly at the command of his aunt.
"Miss, Ma Zi and I are from Suzhou Prefecture. However, when we were ten years old, we were abducted to Yunzhou Prefecture by kidnappers. Then we were taken in by a master and ended up working at Zhuiyun Tower. Xu Yingying posted a mission at Zhuiyun Tower, and we brothers accepted it."
Heizi said.
"Chasing Cloud Tower? What is that place?"
Cheng Yue asked with a frown.
"Aunt, I know this. It's said that the founder of Zhuiyunlou was a gangster, and he gathered many martial arts masters to do things for others. They do everything except killing people. They charge according to the difficulty of the task. I heard about it from Lord Ji!"
Without Ma Zi and Hei Zi’s answers, Cheng Jinxing directly explained it to Cheng Yue.
He only knew about this after he entered the yamen. He had never been exposed to this when he was studying in school.
"Little brother is right. We will accept any mission except killing people."
Ma Zi nodded and said.
"The government doesn't care? What you did tonight is not a good thing."
Cheng Yue asked again.
Cheng Jinxing pursed his lips, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and in the end he didn't say anything.
"Our owner has a good relationship with Lord Xu. It was during the years when Lord Xu became the prefect of Yunzhou that our business at Zhuiyunlou gradually picked up!"
Ma Zi glanced at Cheng Jinxing and said.
They both already knew that Cheng Jinxing was from the government office.
