Chapter 450 Qian Rong
"The surname is Qian!" Zhao Xiaofei felt both understood and confused when he heard this surname.
He was the one who killed the Qian family father and son, but he didn't expect that there were still people in the Qian family. He had also inquired about the Qian family before and found out that there was no one left, but now there is a woman named Qian who wants to rent Rongbao Hall. It seems that someone in the Qian family is secretly investigating him.
But what does this have to do with Jiang Xiaomei's betrayal? Could it be that this woman surnamed Qian bribed Jiang Xiaomei? But why did Jiang Xiaomei do this? What couldn't I give her?
The key issue now is to find Jiang Xiaomei and ask her clearly. Jiang Di said that Xiaomei had been here, so the two of them can only wait here.
Jiang Di and Zhao Xiaofei took turns on duty and found a corner to monitor Rongbaotang's every move.
But it had been two days, and Jiang Di had long lost his patience.
"Brother, my sister may not show up. Should we look somewhere else?" Jiang Di said.
"Be patient. I don't believe it. Since it's rented, someone must come. Even if you don't see your sister, you should see other people coming! Have you ever seen someone rent a house and leave it empty?" Zhao Xiaofei said.
Jiang Di nodded, and then he and Zhao Xiaofei waited all night. Just before dawn, when Jiang Di was about to fall asleep, he suddenly noticed a familiar figure appear in the telescope.
"Brother! Wake up, my sister, my sister!" Jiang Di patted Zhao Xiaofei's shoulder and said.
Zhao Xiaofei was woken up by Jiang Di in a daze. He picked up the telescope and Jiang Xiaomei's figure appeared in the camera.
Zhao Xiaofei immediately perked up and said to Jiang Di, "Wait in the car, I'll follow and take a look."
Jiang Di nodded in agreement, and Zhao Xiaofei got out of the car and quietly followed behind. Jiang Xiaomei, on the other hand, looked around, making sure no one was around before continuing forward.
Zhao Xiaofei lowered his body, quietly and quickly ran in front of her, and watched Jiang Xiaomei walk over from behind a tree.
Just as Jiang Xiaomei walked over, Zhao Xiaofei suddenly jumped out and hugged Jiang Xiaomei.
Jiang Xiaomei was startled, turned around and raised her leg to kick.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The moment Jiang Xiaomei's feet touched Zhao Xiaofei's belly, Zhao Xiaofei started the time travel and successfully brought her back to the Ming Dynasty.
With a thud, Zhao Xiaofei fell to the ground of the Ming Dynasty.
Jiang Xiaomei, wearing a tracksuit, also fell to the ground. Zhao Xiaofei immediately got up, ran to Jiang Xiaomei's side, pulled out a dagger and asked, "Tell me why?"
Jiang Xiaomei sneered in despair: "You killed my father and my eldest brother, and you still ask me why?"
"You are not Xiaomei, Xiaomei doesn't have such good kung fu! Qian's father and son..., I understand! But why do you look so much like Xiaomei?" Zhao Xiaofei asked in surprise.
"Humph! I'm much prettier than Jiang Xiaomei. Of course I had plastic surgery to get closer to you. I'm a beautiful woman, but I have to make myself look ugly!"
"Who are you? Tell me!" Zhao Xiaofei asked anxiously. At this moment, he was more concerned about where the real Jiang Xiaomei had gone. Or if Jiang Xiaomei had been killed.
"My name is Qian Rong!" Qian Rong said to Zhao Xiaofei.
This time, Zhao Xiaofei finally understood that Jiang Xiaomei in front of him was actually Qian Rong in disguise.
"Tell me where Jiang Xiaomei is? Speak!" Zhao Xiaofei asked with his dagger against Qian Rong's neck.
Hahaha, Qian Rong laughed and said, "Why should I tell you? You'll never see her again!"
Zhao Xiaofei slapped Qian Rong in the face with a loud slap. Blood immediately flowed from the corner of Qian Rong's mouth. She covered her face with her hands and looked at Zhao Xiaofei with hatred.
At this moment, people were gathering nearby. At first, they couldn't see clearly, but as they got closer, they realized they were Ming Dynasty patrolmen. This was also part of Kunxing's new policy. Rongbaotang was located in the city during the Ming Dynasty, surrounded by businesses. Therefore, there were patrols patrolling the streets. Zhao Xiaofei wasn't wearing Ming Dynasty clothing, but he did have a waist badge made of pure gold.
Zhao Xiaofei pointed a dagger at Qian Rong in one hand and took out a golden badge from his waist with the other.
Several patrolmen knelt at the sight of the gleaming gold medal. They knew this was someone they couldn't afford to offend. One of the leading officers turned and winked at the two men behind him, who immediately stood up and tied up Qian Rong.
Zhao Xiaofei asked the leading patrolman to come over. The patrolman came over with a hunched back and asked, "What instructions does this gentleman have?"
"Send him to the internal security!" Zhao Xiaofei pointed at Qian Rong and said.
"Yes!" the leading patrolman nodded.
Zhao Xiaofei returned to the palace and changed his clothes. Xiao Si followed him to the prison.
The Tianlao was newly built, probably in today's Nancaiyuan, which is north of the Grand View Garden.
This prison was built entirely according to Zhao Xiaofei's design, and of course, it was also completely copied from later American prisons.
In his previous life, he had visited San Quentin Prison in the United States, but it was a super-scaled version, with all the comfortable places deleted.
Xiao Si brought Zhao Xiaofei to the prison warden's office. The warden was a former Jinyiwei centurion. He was quite upright, so he was chosen as the warden of the new prison.
"Your humble servant greets the prince!" said the warden with a salute.
Zhao Xiaofei didn't return the greeting. He just sat on the warden's chair and asked, "Did she confess?"
"No!" replied the warden.
"Bring her here and I will interrogate her personally." Zhao Xiaofei said coldly.
"Yes!" The warden went down and had Qian Rong brought in.
The two female prison guards were strong and they carried Qian Rong to Zhao Xiaofei.
He came in front of Zhao Xiaofei, threw Qian Rong to the ground, and then stood on both sides.
At this time, Qian Rong's hair was disheveled, there was blood at the corner of his mouth, and there were many bloodstains on his body from whip marks.
Zhao Xiaofei lifted Qian Rong's chin with the fan in his hand and asked, "Will you tell me or not?"
Qian Rong said in a hoarse voice, "What's the use of saying it? Do you really care about Jiang Xiaomei that much?"
"Of course! Tell me where you hid her?" Zhao Xiaofei asked, grabbing Qian Rong's hair.
"I had no intention of living when I fell into your hands! Since I die, I will let more people be buried with me! Your mother, your son over there, your eldest brother, they all have to die!" Qian Rong said hatefully.
"People say that one won't cry until he sees the coffin. It seems that you are determined to go all the way to the end, right? Xiao Si!" Zhao Xiaofei said.
"I'm here!" Xiao Si said.
"Use the Jinyiwei's signature skills and give her a good scrubbing!" Zhao Xiaofei uttered the cold words.
Qian Rong was startled when she heard the word "scrub." She knew how cruel and painful this punishment was.
The practice of "washing" involves stripping a person naked, tying them up, and pouring boiling water over them. Once the water has been poured over them, their skin and flesh will burst open, and the Imperial Guards will then scrub their flesh vigorously with an iron brush. The person will not die, and you can even see their bones.
Most people couldn't stand this torture, and Qian Rong, a woman, certainly couldn't stand it either. She had been whipped before, and she had endured it out of hatred.
And now she was being held up by two women as strong as bulls, and she felt desperate inside.
"No! I said!"
