Locking someone in a burning warehouse and interrogating them through the door may be the most brutal method in the world.

It's not just overbearing, it's simply insane!

It is impossible to do such a thing without being perverted to a certain extent.

In the whole Kunshan County, only that lonely painter who went crazy and even dared to kill himself could do such a thing.

At this time, outside the locked door of Warehouse A, the fat and white Xu Wenchang was seen folding his arms and looking inside through the crack in the door, looking quite wretched.

At his feet, two lookouts had been knocked unconscious.

A group of strong and sturdy men, also wearing night clothes and holding Japanese swords, stood on Xu Wei's left and right.

In the distance, there were soldiers and servants on guard, and everything was under control.

Xu Wei looked through the crack in the door and asked calmly:

"What are your names?"

"My name is Zhang Dawu, and everyone calls me Zhang Damozi!"

"My name is Ma, Ma, Ma..."

"My name is Zhang San!"

"Wang Wu..."

After everyone had announced their names, the stutterer managed to utter, "How dare you!"

"Huh?" Xu Wei couldn't help but said angrily: "You dare to scold me?"

"He said his name was Ma Dadan, not insulting grandpa!" Zhang Dawu quickly explained for the stutterer.

"Oh, I see." Xu Wei nodded, and then asked slowly, "So, what are you doing here?"

"Is that even a question?"

"Um?"

"Set fire."

"Who sent you here?"

"It's Manager Xu."

"Where did Chief Eunuch Xu come from?" Xu Wei's tone was quite similar to that of a eunuch.

"It's our master's steward in Kunshan, Xu Yang."

"Who is your master?" Xu Wei asked again, "Why is he not in Kunshan yet?"

"Yes..." Zhang Dawu said in a deep voice through the crack in the door: "It's better not to ask, sir. It's no good to know too much."

"Thanks for the reminder. I won't ask anymore." Xu Wei nodded and said to his left and right: "Let's retreat and pretend we have never been here..."

"No, no, no!" Zhang Dawu was sweating profusely from the roasting and became anxious.

At this time, your life is at stake, even your own father has to be sold out.

"I'm telling you, Ma Dadan and I are both the adopted sons of the Third Master of the Xu Family in Huating!"

"Is the Huating Xu family the Xu Huating family?" Xu Wei asked awkwardly.

"Uh, haha, it's the home of Lord Xu." Zhang Dawu said proudly, hoping for the best, "If you are willing, we can introduce you to join the Xu family. If you make contributions in the future and are included in the genealogy, you will be a real member of the Xu family."

"Really? That's great. My surname is Xu, so I don't need to change it." Xu Wei asked with a smile: "So it was Lord Xu who ordered you to do this?"

"Even if it's not right, it's not far off." Zhang Dawu replied, "It was the order from Master Xu. The old man is no longer in charge, so now Master has the final say. How about you think about it?"

"Do you have any other accomplices?" Xu Wei continued to ask without comment.

"Yes, Zhou Wang and his men are hiding in Fangjia Lane, and Manager Xu is waiting at Gongji Gate..."

Xu Wei nodded and waved his hand to signal his warriors to go and arrest the person.

Those warriors were the second batch of veterans of the Qi family army who came to Kunshan for surrender. Although they had just arrived in the county, they were able to fight and win!

Then Xu Wei questioned them again and thoroughly investigated the Xu family's network of relationships in the entire Kunshan area.

~~

Zhang Dawu was enjoying answering the questions when he suddenly felt his vision darken.

"What's going on?" The others also noticed something was wrong and turned around to look.

The fire that was burning fiercely and uncontrollably just now was now reduced to just a few small flames...

The granary has a special ventilation design, and the thick smoke is quickly sucked away, leaving only large areas of charred ashes emitting wisps of green smoke.

"How could this happen?" Zhang Dawu was dumbfounded and walked towards the sack that had been burned to ashes. "What kind of rice is this? It won't light up like this."

Ma Dabing also walked over, skimmed off the ashes from the grain bag, and grabbed a handful of hot "grain".

The 'food' fell from between his fingers like water.

"Sand, it's sand..." Ma Dabing stuttered and spread out his hands, revealing the slightly coarse yellow river sand in his palm. How could there be a grain of rice?

"I see..." Zhang Dawu sat on the ground dejectedly. No wonder the fire didn't start. Sand is used to put out fires, how could it possibly burn?

At this time, the door of the warehouse burst open, and a team of soldiers rushed in and captured Zhang Dawu, Ma Dadan and others who were stunned.

Xu Wei stood at the door, fanning himself to dispel the choking smell, and smiled at Wu Chengen beside him: "How about it, writer? After seeing my trick of roasting a turtle in a jar, did you get any inspiration?"

"Inspiration, inspiration, you ask about flood control, arresting people, eating, and sleeping. Do you think I'm you? You can come up with a solution in the blink of an eye." Wu Chengen said angrily. He was supposed to stay at the county government office, but he was really worried that Xu Wei would go too far, so he followed and watched.

"Haha, this can be considered a compliment." Xu Wei was pleased with it, turned around and looked at Zhang Dawu and others who were escorted out, and asked with a smile:

"I guess you must be full of questions. You don't understand why I am so magical and how I can play you like a fool."

This fat guy is so infuriating. Big Mole and others wanted to bite him, but they were tied up so tightly that they couldn't move, so they could only stare at him with hatred.

Kill you with my eyes!

"It's rude not to reciprocate. I never molest men. Now you are allowed to ask me three questions." The fat man said generously.

"Where's Curry's food?!" Big Mole felt that he would die with regret if he couldn't figure this out.

"They are all in the warehouse." Xu Wei blinked and smiled.

"Nonsense, where is Curry's food?" Big Mole said angrily.

"You burned it all." Xu Wei's face darkened and he said expressionlessly, "A total of 30,000 dan of grain! You, the heartless Xu family, burned it all in one fire!"

"Bah! Disgusting! You will be despised by all the people!" He pointed at the big mole and the stutterer and said, "Just wait for your property to be confiscated and your heads to be beheaded!"

"We are burning sand. You can't confuse right and wrong!" Zhang Dawu and Ma Dabing were so anxious that they struggled to explain: "Look, there is sand all over the ground. Where is a grain of food?"

"I said that all the food was burned to the ground." Xu Wei said confidently, "As for the sand, it was used to put out the fire."

"This, this is nonsense!" Zhang Dawu and others were so anxious that they kept jumping up and down, saying, "It's obviously you who framed me!"

"No, no, you were the one who filled it with sand..." Ma Dabing became more and more anxious and stuttered, unable to speak.

"The three questions have been answered. We no longer owe each other anything." Xu Wenchang waved his hand and shouted, "Take these arsonists away!"

After a pause, he gave another order: "Then raid their house immediately and bring back the food first. The master is still waiting for dinner."

"Yes!" The soldier responded in a deep voice and escorted the arsonists out of Warehouse A.

Outside the warehouse, the group of Kuding were looking around. Ma Dabing immediately saw the guy hiding in the crowd who took the money but betrayed them.

He couldn't get anything good out of it, so of course he couldn't let this guy off easily, so he stuttered and cursed: "Gu, Gu Gu Gu Lao San, you took the money but didn't do the job, you you you betrayed us!"

"Master Ma, please calm down. The families of us are being detained in the county government office." The old man explained embarrassedly.

In fact, there is another very important reason - Xu Wei offered a reward of 5,000 taels to reward those who exposed the crime.

Gu Lao San made the greatest contribution this time and he will get a reward of two thousand taels of silver.

Ma Dabing only gave him two hundred taels, one hundred of which would be given to him after the matter was accomplished. Naturally, he knew what choice to make.
