Chapter 154 Xiaohe is missing
He was shaking with excitement: "If we go and talk to him, we can catch him!"
If Mr. Luo is arrested, who can hold them accountable for their mistakes?
"Let's go."
After Cheng Nianying finished speaking, she rummaged through her pockets, picked out the remaining golden wound medicine, and threw it to the man whose shoulder was nailed by the chisel.
The man took it, pursed his lips, and said, "Thank you...thank you."
On the way, Uncle Tang talked about the promise that Master Luo had made to them.
The house and household registration were promised.
"Aren't you from Weiyang?"
"Yes, my hometown was hit by a disaster, so I fled here."
Cheng Nianying looked at the farm tools in their hands and asked, "Are you farming?"
"Yes, otherwise how can I survive?"
Cheng Nianying remembered that when she had just left Yujing and stayed in an inn, the owner said that it was Prince Danshuo who had implemented the new household registration system to prevent those powerful people from hiding their population and fertile land.
"They want you to farm so they can store the food. They can also use your household registration to force you to work for them."
Cheng Nianying frowned: "It's really bad."
Uncle Tang looked confused when he heard this: "What?"
Cheng Nianying asked them where they had fled from.
Uncle Tang said that he fled from Pinggu, Shezhou, because of the flood.
As Uncle Tang answered, he vaguely recalled that the last time he asked them this question was when they first fled to Weiyang...
No one asked again after that.
Only Mr. Luo, riding on his horse, looked down at me and asked, "Do you want to live? Do you want money?"
…
So they returned to the north of the city.
Cheng Nianying also took the time to ask them to help Amo carry his brother out and bury him.
"He still couldn't keep his brother." Uncle Tang sighed.
The body was buried behind the house.
There's nowhere else.
Fu Yi had said before that if one wanted to mark out his own grave, he would have to go to the county government. If the county government refused, he would have no choice but to become a wandering ghost in a mass grave.
I'm done here.
Lord Naro came on horseback, followed by two followers.
"How is it? Is it done?" As soon as Mr. Luo finished speaking, he fell down heavily.
The two followers behind him also fell to the ground.
The horse neighed and was quickly pinned down by the people who rushed over and bled, along with the two followers.
After a series of movements, they seemed well-trained, completely different from the previous makeshift troupe.
Luo Ye broke his leg and wailed while cursing, "How dare you! Are you crazy?"
Two men came forward, stuffed his mouth, and dragged him away.
Uncle Tang came out, picked up the trip rope on the ground, and said with a smile, "It's very useful."
Cheng Nianying nodded: "I've seen them use this method when they capture people in the army."
Uncle Tang gave a thumbs-up: "Very knowledgeable!"
Mr. Luo was tied up and taken into a dark hut. When the gag was pulled, he choked on a lot of dust.
On the day of the search, he was too lazy to go into the house for fear of getting his shoes dirty. Only today did he learn what the situation inside the house was like.
Dirty, stuffy, barren and worthless.
"You bastards, I'm going to kill you! I'll pull out your bones and use them as crutches! I'll peel off your skin and use it to cover a stool!"
Mr. Luo was still cursing.
At this time, Cheng Nianying came in.
She was so beautiful that Na Luoye paused for breath and immediately recognized her as the person in the portrait given by the master.
"You, you...you actually let her live!"
Cheng Nianying nodded slightly: "I am alive, but it is hard to say whether you are dead or not."
"Can you afford the consequences of siding with her like this? Let me go." Master Luo was so angry that his chest heaved.
Cheng Nianying still asked for a chisel.
She is not good at interrogation.
But the building had received anti-interrogation training before, so she knew the procedure.
She went up and chiseled off the man's fingernails.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" Luo Ye screamed in his throat.
"Shut up." Cheng Nianying said.
The person next to him immediately stuffed it into his pocket.
Cheng Nianying thought that he could save some effort, so he chiseled off two more pieces.
Mr. Luo was twitching in pain.
I never expected that the girl in front of me was like a Shura.
What was she going to do? Was she going to torture him to death here?
When Cheng Nianying was about to switch to his other hand, Uncle Tang wiped the sweat from his forehead with a twitching mouth: "You, you are not going to ask him a question?"
"I'm afraid he'll be stubborn, so I'll give him a few more strokes first."
Luo Ye let out a silent scream: Ahhhhhhh! So you want to ask questions! Why don’t you ask?!
"Your Excellency is very soft-hearted. Maybe he will answer the question as soon as it is asked." Uncle Tang thought for a while and said.
"What if you tell lies to deceive me?"
Luo Ye continued to shout silently: "Why don't you let me speak first! How dare I tell a lie!"
Uncle Tang said, "Indeed, these people are good at using sweet words to deceive people."
Mr. Luo rolled his eyes and almost fainted from anger.
He could only desperately turn his face away and spit out the cloth in his mouth.
Finally, he spit it out.
"...Ask, ask me! Ask me now! I'll tell you everything!"
Cheng Nianying then put down the chisel: "Who sent you?"
"The squire and the noble guest, the master, they gave the portrait, it is on my chest."
Cheng Nianying pulled out the picture.
"Gao Peng, sounds familiar..." She thought carefully for a moment and asked, "Is it the Cen family's dog?"
Luo Ye's expression froze: "W-what?"
Cheng Nianying remembered that when she was looking for a headdress, she had flipped through the letters in Mr. Cen Sanye's box countless times.
"Gao Peng said it himself. He said he worked like a slave and a hawk for the Cen family."
"So...it's Cen Yaoxin who wants to kill me?"
*
Listening to the Snow Pavilion.
The guard went in and out several times, his face gradually turning blue.
Cen Yaoxin asked: "What's wrong?"
The guard pursed his lips. Without the master's order, he would naturally not respond to her.
Cen Yaoxin looked around: "Miss Xiaohe is not here?"
"She went down the mountain to buy some things." Fu Yi said calmly.
"Do you have anyone with you? I'm afraid they'll get lost again like last time."
No one around responded to Cen Yaoxin's words.
The guard asked anxiously, "Master, it's getting late. We can't buy that much time anyway... Should we quickly send word to seal the city gates?"
Fu Yi said nothing.
But Cen Yao thought that his expression couldn't be any better.
This is the best moment... People who are sick tend to be more irrational than usual.
Xiao He's disappearance at this moment was like stepping on the death knell of Prince Danshuo.
"Okay, go and pass the message." Fu Yi finally spoke.
But the tone sounded light and airy for some reason, so light and airy that it even revealed a hint of joy.
Cen Yaoxin turned her head and met Fu Yi's gaze.
Fu Yi was looking at her.
Cen Yao's heart trembled when she was looked at.
Fu Yi asked, "Miss Yao, can you play chess?"
Cen Yaoxin: "...Yes."
"Let's set up a chess game, come on."
Fu Yi's attitude made Cen Yaoxin fall into deeper confusion.
He...isn't in a hurry?
No anger?
"Well, I believe if we pass the order down, we will find Miss Xiaohe soon. Don't be angry, Your Highness." Cen Yaoxin said softly.
The chessboard was quickly set up.
Fu Yi picked up the black piece and said with a smile, "Why would I get angry? It would be better if she disappeared."
"What is this, Prince..."
Fu Yi looked at her.
That gaze seemed to pierce into Cen Yao's heart.
"If you want to do something excessive to someone, you should always have a good reason, don't you think?"
"I'm looking forward to her leaving." Fu Yi made a move.
Cen Yao's scalp tingled, she was horrified by Fu Yi's true appearance at this moment, and also horrified by his obsession with the girl.
But fortunately...
Fortunately, she didn't really run away.
But... dead.
Cen Yaoxin lowered her head and picked up the white piece.
But she didn't see that Fu Yi's eyes were still on her, like an eagle seeing a mouse——
If I want to kill everyone in your Cen family, I must have a legitimate reason.
