Daliang female chief assistant

Chapter 56 The Dead Man
That group of people couldn't even think of things that he could think of, how stupid must it be?
Wang Youxian felt contemptuous.

Zhou Shu listened to him quietly, "That's why the lower officials said that there are other masters who are messing up the situation behind their backs."

After her words fell, the main hall became quiet again.

At this time, Zhou Shu suddenly thought of someone.

Wen Yuting also just thought of it and looked towards her.

The two looked at each other and were about to speak.

Then I heard Wang Youxian make a fuss and said: "How did this general forget? Now that Zhang Mao'an is locked in the prison of the county government, we can interrogate him."

Because Ah Hua was killed by gangsters, Zhou Shu locked himself in his room these few days without seeing anyone, so he knew nothing about Zhang Maoan's capture.

She asked Wang Youxian suspiciously, "General Wang, when was Zhang Maoan arrested?"

Wang Youxian: "The Japanese general led people to chase after the gang of rebels, and Zhang Mao'an happened to appear at..." That.

Before the word "that" came out of his mouth, he also realized it.

Seeing that he had already thought of it, Zhou Shu said, "Please also ask General Wang to go with me to interrogate."

"Okay." Wang Youxian agreed without hesitation.

At this time, "What about Ben Hou?"

Zhou Shu stopped walking outside, and looked back at him, "Please ask the young master to take someone secretly to check the mountain forest that the official said."

There was thick fog and the terrain was dangerous.

She couldn't help exhorting, "The terrain here is dangerous, and there is a lot of fog all the year round, please be careful, Young Master."

"Don't worry, Ben Hou knows it well."

In this way, she was relieved.

Came to the prison together with Wang Youxian.

Zhang Maoan had already been imprisoned in the county government prison twice, and when he heard footsteps, he had a stress reaction, and he trembled with fright.

The fat on his body swayed.

He stared at the door in horror.

Seeing that it was Zhou Shu who came, I felt relieved again.

Fortunately, it wasn't Wen Yuting.

But before he was happy, Zhou Shu and Wang Youxian sat down on the chair brought by the jailer.

I saw Zhou Shu imitating Wen Yuting's wild and unrestrained appearance, crossing one leg and holding a whip in his hand.

Lifting his eyelids, he glanced at him casually.

"Zhou, Master Zhou..." Zhang Maoan swallowed.

The scene of being whipped by Wen Yuting is still vivid in my memory.

With a trembling voice, he stammered and threatened, "Lord Zhou, the subordinate officials have already said what they should say. Do you want to beat me into a trick if you are like this?"

"Heh—" Zhou Shu sneered, "Master Zhang, it's easy to fool you as a young master, and I'm not stupid."

After saying that, she flicked the whip in her hand vigorously.

The action is sharp and fierce.

Zhang Maoan's legs softened subconsciously, and he knelt down on the ground.

"Zhang Mao'an, you are corrupt and perverting the law, helping the evildoers, and dying is not a pity. I ask you, where did you hide the relief money and food?"

"Official, official..."

"If you still want to quibble, I don't suggest satisfying your 'beating into tricks'!" snapped.

After the words fell, two jailers came forward to arrest him.

Zhang Mao'an was so frightened that he crawled up to Zhou Shu's feet, grabbing the hem of her robe and begging for mercy.

"The lower officials said, the lower officials said."

Hearing this, Zhou Shu hummed and signaled the jailers to back off.

While wiping the cold sweat off his head with his sleeve, Zhang Maoan stammered about his affair with Sun Yao.

In the first sentence, he first complained for himself.

"My lord Zhou, the lower officials are really wronged. It's Sun Yao, the thief. He used his superior rank to crush people to death and force the lower officials to submit. The lower officials did it as a last resort. Please learn from me."

Zhou Shu didn't listen to his grievances, and only said: "What is the truth, I can judge for myself, you just talk about the transactions between you one by one."

Zhang Mao'an continued: "Sun Yao felt that the former county magistrate Li Lin was too pedantic and upright and would spoil his good deeds. In order to get rid of him, he planned to slander him for losing the relief supplies and force him to hang himself."

What a ruthless means!
Zhou Shu's eyes became more and more indifferent.

Zhang Maoan glanced at her carefully.

"In order to make things seamless, he ordered me to steal the key to the treasury and make another one. This is the strange case where the door locks are intact but the relief supplies disappeared."

They are smart.

"What else?" Zhou Shu urged in a deep voice.

Zhang Maoan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead again.

"Xiaguan only knows this, and he didn't let Xiaguan get involved too much."

Zhou Shu didn't believe it, "So many materials were emptied overnight, you don't know who made them?"

Hearing this, Zhang Maoan shook his head honestly.

"I don't know." After he finished speaking, he remembered what Xiao Yuanlang had said to him a few days ago, and said, "Oh yes, there is one more thing."

"What's the matter?"

Zhang Mao'an: "The lower officials heard that the back mountain of Siyi County was blown up, and there was a cave inside, where a large amount of black iron and weapons were found?"

How did he know about this matter?

Zhou Shu found it strange, and just as he was about to question, Zhang Maoan took the initiative to explain.

"This matter was told to the lower official by the person who was rescued by the lower official."

He should be talking about another force in the city.

Zhou Shu remained calm, "Do you remember what he looks like?"

Zhang Maoan nodded, "I remember."

"Well, you describe his appearance to the painter, and for the sake of your merits, you will come before His Majesty in the future, and I can say something nice for you."

These words made Zhang Maoan's eyes brighten, and he quickly kowtowed in gratitude.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, sir."

Zhou Shu's face was very cold, and he was indifferent to his words of gratitude, so he raised his hand and beckoned the jailer to find the painter.

After a while, a middle-aged man in white clothes and a black hat, carrying a wooden box, came in behind the jailer.

He politely bowed to Zhou Shu and Wang Youxian.

Then he walked up to Zhang Maoan with the wooden box.

When one step away from him.

He quickly threw away the wooden box in his hand, took out a small knife from his sleeve with his right hand, and quickly attacked Zhang Maoan.

This change happened so fast that no one could react in time.

Wang Youxian yelled badly, slammed the armrest of the chair, flew up, and flew in front of the man.

At this moment, the jailers also reacted, and protected Zhou Shu to retreat.

"Go and call someone," Zhou Shu ordered.

One of the guards led the order and ran out to call for someone.

At this moment, there was only a "poof", the sound of a sword piercing the flesh.

Zhang Maoan's eyes widened unwillingly, and his body slowly went limp.

Seeing him dead, Wang Youxian's eyes were scarlet, he let out a loud drink, and his palms became more and more fierce.

The killer seemed determined to die, he didn't dodge or dodge, he smiled evilly, stood where he was, quietly waiting for death.

Zhou Shu noticed his thoughts and hurriedly stopped him, "Don't let him die, catch him alive!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Youxian gritted his teeth and hastily changed the direction of his palm.

But the killer didn't give them a chance to catch them alive, and committed suicide by taking poison.

Wang Youxian slowed down for a moment, and when he realized it, it was too late to stop him, and he could only watch the killer die in front of his eyes.

"He is a dead man." Wang Youxian added in hindsight.

Looking at the two dead bodies on the ground in different shapes, Zhou Shu clenched his hands hanging by his sides tightly, and then loosened them.

She suppressed the emotion in her eyes and spoke without any disturbance.

"Come here, take the body down."
