Chapter 40
Song Qingyou was cooking when he was called over by an official. Looking at the masked men, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Who are these people?"

Song Qingyou asked softly next to Xiao Qishu.

Xiao Qishu shook his head: "I don't know."

Song Qingyou wanted to ask something more, but those people had already opened their mouths.

"The Xiao family took bribes and collected money, but when the house was ransacked, the money disappeared. His Majesty was very angry when he heard about it. Please tell me honestly, where did the money go? You can return it later." Take less pain."

The leading masked man glanced sharply at everyone present, his tone full of threats.

Song Qingyou's heart tightened, thinking that he had ransacked the private treasury of the Xiao Mansion before being exiled, and his expression became a little weird.

Could it be that the Xiao family's money was not found during the house search, and they thought the Xiao family had transferred the property in advance, so they came here to investigate the matter?

However, Song Qingyou calmed down quickly. No one would notice anyway. As long as she didn't tell anyone, no one would know the truth of the matter.

"It's better for you to tell what you know, otherwise when the time comes to investigate, I'm afraid you will have a bad life."

Listening to the beating of the masked man, everyone remained silent for a while.

Seeing this, the masked man walked directly in front of Xiao Qishu, and said in a somewhat haughty tone, "Master Xiao, what do you want to say?"

Xiao Qishu looked at the few people with neither humility nor arrogance upon hearing this, and said in a deep voice: "No."

The masked man narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly: "You think you don't say anything, we have nothing to do?"

After saying that, the masked man turned to face the others, his voice becoming a little more stern.

"All of you tell me the truth, maybe you can get forgiveness, so you'd better not be obsessed with it."

The masked man's eyes swept across the crowd. After this period of training, the people in the first room and the second room had already unconsciously become a little more timid, so when facing the masked man's gaze, they couldn't help but start to look away. Then, one by one, he said that he had no knowledge of the matter of corruption and bribery.

He didn't get the answer he wanted, and when the masked leader became more and more impatient, Xiao Ningning suddenly stood up.

"My lord, I...I have something to say."

Xiao Ningning's words made everyone present look over, and Song Qingyou also looked at her. For some reason, when she heard Xiao Ningning speak, she felt an unpleasant feeling in her heart.

Sure enough, the next second, Xiao Ningning pointed towards him and said in a proud tone: "I know that all the money left by uncle is with Song Qingyou. If you want to know where the money is, just ask Just Song Qingyou."

Song Qingyou's face darkened, and she scolded Xiao Ningning in a cold voice: "What are you crazy about?"

She is really lingering, and she wants to frame herself at the slightest chance.

At this moment, Song Qingyou wanted to kill someone.

"is it?"

The masked leader looked at Song Qingyou, but he was asking Xiao Ningning.

"Is everything you said true? If you dare to lie to us..."

"Everything I say is true. If not, you can ask the officials present. They all know that Song Qingyou spent a lot of money along the way, and she was willing to hire a carriage. She must have money hidden on her body."

Xiao Ningning spoke bitterly, wishing she could just step Song Qingyou into the mud.

"That's right. She should have some personal money hidden on her body."

Seeing the masked leader looking over, the bearded man nodded in agreement with Xiao Ningning's statement.

Although he fell in love with Song Qingyou, the gain outweighed the loss by offending these unknown dignitaries in front of him for the sake of a female prisoner.

After hearing the bearded man's affirmative reply, the masked leader walked directly towards Song Qingyou.

"You are Mrs. Xiao San, you must know where the money is?"

The masked leader was aggressive, Song Qingyou tried to maintain his composure, shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"You dare not say it? Someone, arrest her for me."

The masked leader gave the order, and two officers immediately stood up and controlled Song Qingyou, one on the left and the other on the right.

"You let me go."

Song Qingyou struggled, but it didn't help at all.

Xiao Qishu's face was gloomy, and he stepped forward to protect Song Qingyou behind him, but was directly stopped by the bearded man and others.

"Master Xiao, you'd better not make things difficult for everyone."

As he spoke, the handle of the knife in his hand moved and the blade was slightly unsheathed.

Obviously, if Xiao Qishu insists on having his own way, Big Beard and others will definitely take action.

Xiao Qishu looked at those masked men with cold eyes, and scolded: "You dare to do something because you want to disregard the king's law and ignore human lives?"

"We just want to get the answer we want. Since no one is willing to speak out, we must use some extraordinary means."

"You dare!"

Xiao Qishu scolded in a cold voice, murderous intent hidden in his cold eyes.

When the masked leader met those eyes, he was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes flickered, and he felt inexplicably retreating, but when he thought of Xiao Qishu's current identity, he immediately stiffened again.

"You are just an exiled prisoner now. Do you still think you are the former general?"

As if he wanted to make up for himself, the masked leader said viciously, but the idea of ​​having people tortured to extract a confession was put aside, and instead he waved his hand casually and gave the order.

"Shut her up in the firewood room, and when she is willing to explain, when will she be released."

"Yes."

The two officials who were holding Song Qingyou immediately promised, grabbed Song Qingyou's arms from left to right, and walked towards the woodshed.

Song Qingyou didn't struggle, because she knew that struggling now would be useless, so she could only follow the officials and leave obediently.

Xiao Qishu's worried eyes fell on Song Qingyou's back, but in the end he said nothing.

The smile on Xiao Ningning's face was not hidden at all, it was directly on his face.

"Song Qingyou, I will take a good look at how you die."

A look of resentment flashed in Xiao Ningning's eyes, and his heart was already full of joy.

"Go in."

When they came to the door of the firewood room, the officer stretched out his hand and pushed Song Qingyou in unceremoniously.

Song Qingyou staggered two steps and turned back to look at the official with dissatisfaction, but the official had already closed the door of the woodshed.

Secretly thinking that she was unlucky, Song Qingyou looked around the environment of the woodshed and found that there were piles of debris everywhere, and the whole woodshed was filled with the unpleasant smell of decay.

Song Qingyou's expression changed, and his brows wrinkled slightly.

But she wasn't too worried.

Those people should not dare to do anything to themselves, even if there is any danger, they can still find a way to escape.
