Chapter 359 Want to die? It’s not that easy!
"Long time no see. You must have had a hard time on the road. Have you eaten yet? Let's eat together?"
Jiang Chengshi was a little skeptical before, always feeling that Liao Jiu was an illusion that Wang Laobachelor.
Now, all along the way, Liao Jiu's actions seemed to make him look extremely powerful, with everything he wanted. And now, there was a man wearing the official uniform of the Six Gates who looked like a high-ranking official, calling him master...
She was already convinced that this person was indeed not the honest and hardworking bachelor he used to be!
But he is the real governor.
Wang Laowu was just a small bodyguard, a country boy from the countryside. How could he have such a grand show?
He just looks like Wang Laowu.
This is also a magical thing, it must be fate.
…
Xiang Zuo replied, "Thank you very much. I dare not. I will wait for my master to send me."
How could he dare to sit on an equal footing with his master and eat? It was rare even in private, let alone with so many outsiders around.
Liao Jiu waved his hand and said, "Alright, the rest of the matter is up to you. Go downstairs and have dinner first. Go find your people outside and they will tell you the whole process in detail."
He responded and went down to the left.
The spy from the Six Gates left in Shili Town was Xiang Zuo's subordinate, so it was just right for him to come and pick up Liao Jiu.
He moved to the left, and his shadow-like subordinates behind him turned around and retreated in unison.
The figures were tall and powerful, their steps were in unison, and each of them carried an aura of killing and destruction. It was obvious that they were well-trained elite soldiers.
This is the shadow guard of the Six Gates.
Jiang Cheng felt a little frightened. As an inexperienced woman, she was frightened by the sight of such a scene.
But seeing the three children eating their meals with calm expressions, her beating heart slowed down again. The children were not afraid, so what was there for her to be afraid of at her age?
She was not afraid, but there seemed to be some bad memories in her mind that made her uneasy. She must have seen more terrifying people and more terrifying things... but she couldn't remember them.
Seeing this, Jiang Lianzhu hurriedly picked up a piece of fish for Jiang Chengshi and said, "Mother, the fish at this post station is cooked very well. The fish meat is tender and smooth, without any fish bones. The cooking skills are also extraordinary. Please eat a few more pieces."
Liao Jiu also noticed something and replied, "Yes, this fish is found in a famous lake in Chubei Prefecture. It's called yellow croaker. The way it's cooked is a bit like a secret recipe of the imperial court. It's quite good..."
Jiang Cheng's thoughts immediately turned to the fish. "I just ate a piece. It's really good. It tastes much better than the fish we had before."
As she spoke, she silently memorized this secret palace recipe in her heart. It seemed that everyone liked it. She would go to the back kitchen to find the cook to learn how to make it.
Later, I often cooked it for my family.
There isn't much she can do for the family, and this little thing is within her ability, so it shouldn't be difficult for her to learn.
After dinner, Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Jiu looked at each other.
The two of them should go and interrogate Mao Shurong.
There were too many people around along the way, so it was not suitable for interrogation. Now that he has settled in the provincial capital, it is time to find out his background.
To avoid any more troubles at night.
The two of them went out, and Dabao followed them in small steps, "Mom, take me with you. I'll just watch from the side and not say anything."
Jiang Lianzhu looked at his serious face and said, "Okay."
Dabao really has the right to know the truth. The Baihua Tower is out to hunt him down. His ability to withstand stress far exceeds that of an average adult. He doesn't need to be treated as a child. Any scenes that are inappropriate for children are not suitable for him.
Liao Jiu also appreciated Dabao's expression.
Dabao didn't say anything. He followed the two adults silently to the yard where Mao Shurong was imprisoned.
The deepest and most remote courtyard.
There is martial law inside and outside, and there are at least a hundred guards guarding here.
There are many people, but it is quiet. The place has been taken over by the shadow guards brought by Xiang Zuo.
When Liao Jiu and the others arrived, Xiang Zuo came to greet them and without saying much, took them directly to the place where they were being held.
At this time, Mao Shurong had been released from the prison van. His hands and feet were still shackled. He was sitting on the ground, and a shadow guard was feeding him.
He refused to eat, so the shadow guard coldly and mercilessly pried open his teeth, roughly and simply fed him the food, and forced him to eat it. After he finished eating, Mao Shurong wanted to dig it out with his fingers, but the shadow guard tied his hands behind his back and slapped him twice in the face, making his eyes dizzy and his ears deaf. He had no strength to resist, so he continued to be fed roughly.
A large bowl of something that looked like porridge and pig food was quickly force-fed to him. Then, when Mao Shurong wanted to curse, he was slapped a few more times. When he regained some strength, a rag was stuffed in his mouth.
When the shadow guards did these things, they were ruthless, decisive and cold-blooded, as if they had dealt with prisoners who wanted to go on hunger strike more than once or twice.
For them, it's too easy.
Want to die? It's not that easy!
Seeing Liao Jiu and the others come in, the shadow guards just saluted, untied the cloth in Mao Shurong's mouth, and stepped aside.
The door of the outer room was tightly closed.
Mao Shurong was tormented for a while, a little out of breath, cursing weakly, "You bastards from the Six Gates, if you have the guts, kill me! I would rather die than surrender, don't waste your time, I won't say anything, I won't betray Baihualou, I am a Baihualou member in life, and a Baihualou ghost in death..."
Jiang Lianzhu said calmly, "Mao Shurong, you don't have to say anything. This isn't just a matter of life and death for one person. You've already implicated the entire Mao family in Shamen County. Do you know that? The entire Mao family will be executed because of you. How can you live with that?"
Mao Shurong's arrogance suddenly subsided, and then he continued, "Because of me, they have taken over the waterway business in the past few years, made countless profits, and enjoyed wealth. Now they are dying because of me. That is their karma, they deserve it, it's no big deal, let's die together!"
Jiang Lianzhu sneered, "What about that little fat boy? He was exiled to Shili Town to study. What kind of wealth and luxury did he enjoy? How old is he? Is he going to be implicated to death by you? He's thinking about you, his uncle, in his heart. If you know what's good for you, you'll confess. I can't protect anyone else, but Fatty Mao, I can ask Liao Jiu to save his life. What do you think?"
When Mao Shurong heard Mao Xiaopangzi's words, his expression became frantic, and a few traces of struggle flashed across his face. It seemed as if he was seriously thinking about Jiang Lianzhu's words, and he fell into a state of guilt and conscience. But soon the violence and excitement suppressed his conscience again. Several complex expressions intertwined together, and his face, which was already dirty and shabby with bloodstains, looked particularly hideous.
