Chapter 195 Interrogation of Mr. Jia

"Then tell me."

Su Nanyi looked straight at him.

Lord Jia closed his eyes, made up his mind and said, "I only know that he is called Master Jue, everyone calls him that, but I have never seen his true face.

Every time I met him, he was wearing a mask. I didn't know where we met, and he was blindfolded when he went there.

I looked for it privately, but couldn’t find the place.”

What Lord Jia said made Su Nanyi a little disappointed. She didn't expect that after all this time, this person had never seen the true face of the person behind the scenes.

But she still asked: "Then his voice shouldn't be fake, right?"

Lord Jia thought for a moment and said, "This voice should be his real voice. It is not fake."

"What about the people around him? Do you know them?"

Lord Jia shook his head and said, "I don't know him. The people around him are all wearing black clothes and masks, and only his eyes can be seen.

Master Jue said that when he succeeds, we will all be heroes and will meet him in person. "

Su Nanyi cursed in her heart that Jue Ye was so vigilant and didn't leave any trace at all.

But he really came to overthrow Ling Xiao's kingdom.

"What if we find this person and ask you to identify his voice? Can you tell it?"

Lord Jia nodded vigorously: "Yes."

Even if he can't, he will say he can, because this is his only hope of survival.

If he is no longer of any use, then he will definitely face death.

Then Su Nanyi asked some more questions. They only knew that the person behind the scenes was called Jue Ye, who was about thirty years old, and they knew nothing else.

Su Nanyi imprisoned Lord Jia and his family here.

He was locked up together with Liu Tiezhu and the others in an empty room in the palace.

When Lord Jia saw Liu Tiezhu lying in a coma, he looked at Su Nanyi with complicated eyes.

It turned out that Liu Tiezhu and his companions had not betrayed him at all, but were caught by them.

He regretted it so much that he should have gone down the mountain earlier and let them kill whoever they wanted to silence them.

But it was too late to regret now. He closed his eyes, moved his body with difficulty, and lay beside his son, protecting his son with his body, fearing that Su Nanyi would attack his son.

Mo Lian curled her lips at him. She was too disdainful to attack a child.

Of course, the master didn't give the order. When the master gave the order, no matter whether it was a child, a baby, or a woman, those who should be killed should be killed.

After Su Nanyi came out, he told a secret guard who was recuperating inside what he had learned from the interrogation.

The secret guard only had a broken arm but not a broken leg. After a few days of recuperation, his minor injuries had healed. Su Nanyi asked him to go and deliver a message to Ling Xiao that he was fine.

After receiving the order, the secret guard immediately went after Ling Xiao.

However, Ling Xiao went through a lot of hardships and arrived safely in Jiuzhou Prefecture, where he met the governor of Jiuzhou Prefecture.

The governor was in a state of panic at the moment. Lord Jia didn't leave any evidence, so he couldn't report to the emperor.

Unexpectedly, the emperor appeared in front of him, frightening him out of his wits.

“Majestic…”

Ling Xiao immediately raised his hand to interrupt him: "I am here on a private visit to the Wei Mansion, so you can call me the Emperor."

"Ah, yes, yes, I meet Mr. Huang."

"Get up. Such a big thing happened within your jurisdiction. How is your investigation going now?" Ling Xiao asked him directly.

The governor did not dare to stand up. He knelt on the ground and trembled. After a long while, he said, "Reply, Mr. Huang, I have no clues at the moment. There is no clue left about the missing Mr. Jia."

Ling Xiao slammed the table and said, "How dare you! The bombing was such a big deal, and you didn't even notice it. You are a very incompetent governor."

The governor was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and kowtowed: "It is all my fault. I beg Master Huang to punish me."

It's not too late to apologize now. At least those missing bombs haven't caused any major disaster.

Of course, the governor didn't know that Ling Xiao in front of him almost died under those bombs.

Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to think like this and would just slit his own neck, maybe he could save his family.

Ling Xiao was furious. The governor of Yizhou was a fourth-rank official, appointed by the emperor. Of course, the governor of Beizhou was appointed by Ling Yi when he was in power, and his ability was so poor that it was unbearable to look at.

So many bombs were dropped but he knew nothing about it, and even if Lord Jia escaped, no trace could be found.

How did Ling Yi send such an incompetent person?
It's no pity that the bastard died. The kingdom of Dayan will be destroyed in his hands sooner or later.

He was so angry that he almost had a heart attack. He gritted his teeth and said, "What use do I have for you?"

"Mr. Huang, please spare my life. I will do everything I can to track him down."

The governor kowtowed continuously.

Ling Xiao snorted coldly: "I can temporarily spare your life, you just need to make up for your crime and make meritorious contributions.

First, keep a close eye on the canal construction project for me. If there are any problems again, you will be beheaded.

You have to keep investigating. You must find out the whereabouts of Mr. Jia for me, otherwise I will kill all your clans."

Ling Xiao's words made the governor's head buzz. Nine clans? God! The world is so big, where can he find Lord Jia? He might as well chop off his head now.

But he still has a wife, children, and parents, so he has to agree no matter what.

"Yes, I obey your order."

"Get up quickly and prepare a room for me. I need to rest."

He had been traveling non-stop all the way, and his leg was injured, so he was very tired.

"Yes, I will go right away."

So Ling Xiao stayed in the Jiuzhou government office, watching the governor investigate cases every day.

Behind the scenes, he also sent secret guards to check the progress of the canal construction and the situation of the local people.

There is a severe drought now. There is not a drop of rain from the sky and the crops have failed. What do the people eat?
Soon, the secret guards reported the situation in Beizhou to Ling Xiao.

The people had no food to eat for a long time and had to rely on their previous food reserves and the government for their survival.

Fortunately, there are still some water and fish in a few rivers, which can feed some people.

Of course, there are also all the resources in the woods on the mountain, game, and wild vegetables to sustain life.

Ling Xiao immediately called the Governor of Jiuzhou to ask him about it.

"The people of Beizhou have already run out of food. Why haven't you submitted a petition? Have you opened the granary?"

The governor of Jiuzhou smiled bitterly and said, "Master Huang, memorials to Xiaguan are sent every ten days, and all the memorials sent out have fallen into the sea. As for the granary, I opened it a month ago, and now nine out of ten granaries in the entire Jiuzhou Prefecture are empty.

I had no choice but to open the granary privately to keep the people alive until now. I beg Master Huang to punish me."

"Why should I punish you? You did a good job in saving the lives of the people, which can make up for the loss a little bit."

Leng Xiao couldn't have imagined that the Governor of Jiuzhou would actually do this, and he hadn't received any news at all. If he hadn't heard what Su Nanyi said last year, he probably wouldn't have known about the drought in Beizhou until now.

What's more, he could not have imagined that his ministers would dare to deceive their superiors and hide the truth from him.
