Chapter 164 Chapter 160

"continue."

This time, the subordinate didn't need Mu Qing to order, just said.

"I, those people asked me to come here to make trouble for you, saying that if you don't investigate, I will have food."

"Ten years of poverty, but no official status, are you willing?" Fang Wu asked.

"What can I do? Who has asked me these past few years? My family has left, and I have kept my filial piety for three years. I have been away from the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households for many years, but those people are either kicking the ball or procrastinating." Huang Zhong almost questioned the way.

The subordinate kicked Huang Zhong on the mouth, "Speak well."

The bright red lips were immediately stained by some mud, and the yellow footprints on the white and tender skin complemented the hair immersed in the mud.

"Cough, cough, cough." After several coughs, Huang Zhong spat out a bloody tooth from his mouth.

It's just one foot and one tooth, which shows the strength and cruelty of the subordinate.

Fang Wu shivered as he watched, and continued to ask, "Who are those people?"

"The official of Daman. This Daman will be eaten by these moths sooner or later..." Before he finished speaking, the subordinate kicked him again,
This time, the dirt on his lips was covered with blood, and several teeth were spit out and mixed into the dirt. The pupils of that person were a little dilated, and it made people feel that he was dying.

"lighter."

Needless to say, Fang Wu said, Mu Qing kicked the subordinate's ass again and ordered.

"Hiss." The subordinate wailed subconsciously, but before he could finish his voice, Muqing kicked him again, and the subordinate quickly silenced his voice.

Fang Wu didn't care about the entanglement between the two, and continued to ask: "Where did you meet them, last time?"

"Yes, in a courtyard on the east side." Huang Zhong said intermittently, his words were breathless, as if he would die at any time.

"Take us there." The subordinate put away his feet and dragged the man up.

The man was boneless, and was dragged by his subordinates to sway in the air, with only his toes touching the ground.

"I don't remember clearly. The roads here are all the same. I only know it's on the east side." Huang Zhong said.

The subordinate was about to slap Huang Zhong, but was stopped by Mu Qing, "If you kill someone, I will kill you."

What Mu Qing said was straightforward and domineering.These words made the subordinate stunned for a moment, obviously withdrew his strength and didn't dare to make a move.

He knew very well that it was perfectly fine for Mu Qing to kill him. Mu Qing and the others had at least made a name in front of Tan Sihan, and they didn't exist for Tan Sihan at all.

"Let's go." The subordinate said, grabbing the man's arm.

Half of the man's body was slumped on the ground, and he would eat a mouthful of mud whenever he spoke, but he still supported himself with his hands to move forward.

A few people went to the east without moving forward, and the further they went in, the more they could see long-term workers in twos and threes, and not far away were supervisors with sticks, all of whom looked at Fang Wu and his party with serious faces.

But seeing the huge number of people in the group, they didn't dare to make any changes.

After all, Fang Wu and his party included not only Tan Sihan's people, but also the government servants. They held killing sticks in their hands.

The people along the way, with knives and sticks in hand, and dragging a person, no matter how you look at it, you should not be underestimated.

Originally, some supervisors wanted to go forward, but someone secretly stopped them, and Fang Wu and the others were allowed to pass through the field like this.

There are not many people in the field this season, but they are not lazy. A few people move slowly, but the road is not long, and it didn't take long to walk there.

In just a quarter of an hour, I saw a row of yards, all square, with wooden doors, all closed tightly.

Huang Zhong, who was dragged by his subordinates, had long since lost his original appearance. His clothes were torn, and even his skin was scratched. Some blood could be seen. He stopped there.

A pair of eyes turned around, but the hands on the ground did not move forward.

It seems that there is no road ahead, but in fact the road is not broken.

"Which one?" Fang Wu looked carefully and asked.

"It seems that we still have to go inside, and it seems that these are the few rooms." Huang Zhong said something that was ambiguous.

Several people looked at each other,
"When was the last time you saw him. Day or night."

"Dark night."

"I was brought here blindfolded. When I went back, I was sent out by a man, and I saw something in the dark." Huang Zhong said.

"What did they ask you to do before?"

"Keeping accounts. Running errands and watching the long-term workers." Huang Zhong sat on the ground and answered the questions sentence by sentence.

Fang Wu heard about it, and Bai An asked about it.

"Who cares about you?" Fang Wu asked.She wanted to know whether she was on Ren Ye's side or Xu Kun's side.

"One is named Ren, but I haven't seen him for a long time." Huang Zhong said.

hear this,

Several people have made a distinction. This person should have the same role as that Changzi, but I don't know who has more weight.

"Do you know Chang Zi?" Fang Wu added, "Ren Ye called him Chang Zi."

Huang Zhong shook his head, it didn't look like he was telling lies again.

In fact, this is also normal. After all, this land is very large, and there are not only one or two supervisors.

These two people are good under Ren Ye's hands, but one is from the east and the other is from the west, so naturally they don't know each other.
Maybe pass by, but it’s enough if you’re not familiar with it.
"Take him back." Fang Wu didn't ask any further.

Mu Qing ordered three of the yamen servants to say.

Zhang Xuan also nodded, and the three yamen servants pressed Huang Zhong to the ruined temple.

"Knock on the door." Fang Wu said, she had already walked to a wooden door and knocked on it.

The first room, the second room, and the third room are all empty.

There is the fourth room, and the person who opened the door was an old lady who was seven or eighty years old, leaning on a cane and looking at the people: "Guys, what's the matter?"

She asked casually, but there was no kindness in her eyes, and she could even see a three-point defense.

"I have something to ask my aunt."

Fang Wu smiled sweetly: "Does Madam live alone?"

"With my son, he works in the field." The aunt was not in high spirits.

Fang Wu took a look into the yard, but it was cleaned. There were one or two broken bowls on the table in the yard, and the table could be seen to have been used for many years.
No other furniture, not even a stool,
"Just the two of you?"

Madam nods,

"We don't have land to sell, and we don't buy grain." The aunt continued to say nothing when she saw Fang Wu looking around.

These words made a few people feel a little familiar.

They shook their heads and said, "We're here to investigate the case, we don't buy land, we don't sell grain."

The aunt nodded, but she was obviously dubious like that.

"When will your son leave work?" Mu Qing asked.

"He came back at Xushi." The aunt gave an inaccurate answer.

"Can we go in and sit down?" he continued.

"Brother Qing, what's the problem?" A subordinate asked.

His words were a little dull, with a bit of respect.

"Shut up." Mu Qing didn't answer, he stared at the aunt with empty eyes, and the aunt nodded numbly.

Fang Wu also walked in, waiting for the aunt to close the door,
Fang Wu asked Mu Qing: "What does this mean?"

"Wait, wait for her son to come back before asking. There are only two families living here." Mu Qing continued.

"How do you know?" Zhang Xuan asked in surprise.
