From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 198 The Sturdy Fang Pingsheng II

The dungeon is damp and dark. Due to the large number of people locked up recently, the place is small and crowded, and there is not much ventilation. Once you enter, it smells bad.

They were all people who had been in the military camp. Fang Pingsheng and Yun Luo didn't change their faces when they smelled the stench.After walking to the door of the cell where Mei Zhong was held alone, he said, "You take the others out first, and I'll have a few words with him alone."

Looking at Mei Zhong who was huddled in the corner, Fang Pingsheng's eyes flashed a stern look.

Because Mei Xin had already let him stay in Prince Liang's Mansion, Yun Luo didn't have any worries about him.Nodding her head, she went to mention Chun Xing and other maidservants serving Shangguan Xinrou.

Shangguan Xinrou has been domineering in Prince Liang's Mansion for many years, and because of her noble status, there are many people who serve her.There are more than a dozen maids alone, plus the mother-in-law, Hulala proposed that a group of people stand up and block the passage of the dungeon.

Holding a whip in his hand, he flicked a whip flower fiercely, and Yun Luo said viciously: "Line up one by one and go to the front hall. If anyone dares to be disobedient, walk, scream, or talk indiscriminately, don't blame me for a whip!" Beat her to death."

If it was the first two days, there would definitely be people who resisted, but after being interrogated and tortured, they all wilted like eggplants beaten by frost.

Lifeless, deathly silence in the dungeon, they all turned around and walked out under Yun Luo's command.They walked slowly but fortunately they were still obedient, otherwise there would be a lot of commotion if so many people messed up.

The 14-year-old Cheng Sichu was not imprisoned alone, but according to Mei Xin's order, she was locked together with the rough envoy of the inner courtyard and the low-ranking maids.Because she is domineering and domineering and does not treat the servants below as human beings, she often bullies them, beats and scolds them, and deducts monthly money at every turn.The present report came, and soon after he was locked up, he was beaten by a group for losing his temper and swearing at others.

More than a dozen women and maids must have heard the wind, knowing that she is not the biological daughter of General Mei, and they can't get out anymore, and they are extremely ruthless.Not only broke her head but also scratched her face, the clothes on her body were also torn to pieces, but if Sanniang didn't want her to die so quickly and scolded everyone in time, she would have been beaten to death last night up.

No matter how arrogant and powerful she is, she is still only 14 years old. The most important thing is that she has never been beaten before. This group of beatings frightened her, and she finally knew how to be afraid.Curled in a corner of the cell, looking at the people walking out in horror.

Chun Xing is the first-class maidservant next to Shangguan Xinrou. Seeing her, Cheng Sichu seemed to see a savior, grabbed the cell door and shouted: "Chun Xing, save me, tell my mother, save me, help me!" I'm going out. I don't want to stay here, I can't take it anymore, let me out... let me out, ah..."

With a slap, the whip hit Mei Sichu's hand accurately, and she screamed in pain.

Turning a blind eye, Yun Luo signaled everyone to move on, and when she came to Mei Sichu, he glanced at her coldly and said, "Shut up, if you keep yelling, I'll cut your tongue off."

Deep contempt, I really don't look down on Cheng Sichu at all.Even punishment is useless, it's just that he was hungry a few times, and after being beaten, he became like this, which is really useless.If it's Mei Xin or her, I promise she won't say a word, she's really a coward, a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

The screaming stopped abruptly, and Cheng Sichu, whose eyes were full of horror and trembling like chaff, staggered back as if seeing a ghost.Not daring to scream, and not daring to make any more noise, she retreated back to the original corner in panic.

Seeing that she was as timid as a mouse, Yun Luo snorted, snorted coldly, swung the whip heavily in her hand, and she left.

Soon, Fang Pingsheng came out, followed by Mei Zhong who was escorted by two soldiers.I don't know what the two of them said, Mei Zhong's whole body became lifeless, as if he already knew that he was bound to die.

Yun Luo raised his eyebrows and winked. Fang Pingsheng knew what she was asking, and immediately lowered his voice, "Except for his youngest grandson, let's take everyone away."

Not knowing what medicine he sold in the gourd, Yun Luo pulled him aside and said, "What do you mean, what agreement did you make with him?"

Fang Pingsheng's anger earlier didn't seem fake, and he wouldn't say such things for no reason.Therefore, there must be something going on here, and it's not a trivial matter.

Fang Pingsheng did not intend to hide it from her, and said truthfully: "Empty words and white teeth are not enough evidence, and the account books can also be forged. If you want to get the money back, you must have witnesses and evidence. This is a confession. I will keep it for the major general later. The emperor's old man If you don’t dare to send back the silver, you can directly announce everyone’s confession to the world.”

Three people become tigers, and the rumors are like knives. At that time, it will be enough for the emperor and King Huai of Chu to drink a pot.

"Shangguan Xinrou has four dowries, and one of them knows everything about her. You keep her and hide her."

The emperor is shameless, what shame does the Mei family have, not to mention that this matter is the fault of King Huai of Chu, and it is not Mei Zhannan who is stealing people outside.

Yun Luo felt it was inappropriate, and this method was not safe. If the emperor got annoyed, the Mei family would be ruined.Feeling that he was coming up with bad ideas, she said: "If the emperor finds out..."

His eyes were wide open, Fang Pingsheng thought she was so stupid, so he interrupted her directly and said, "What do you know? How many dowries Shangguan Xinrou had and the confessions you left behind? Don't be stupid, since the old emperor chooses Letting Xiao Qichen come at this time means that he has scruples about the Mei family. Having scruples means that the Mei family has something to rely on, and since there is something to rely on, then there is nothing to be afraid of, not to mention that he broke his promise first."

"Okay, okay, just do as I say. I'm the one to do everything, and I can still hurt you." As soon as he pulled up his clothes, he left, muttering as he walked, "Everyone's head It's all paste, I don't know how the general picked it, I'm exhausted."

You don't need to think about Yun Luo to know that he is talking about himself. With an innocent and speechless face, he curled his lips and said, "Who is this? What does this mean? You still despise me, really..."

"Cut!" Yun Luo left, but she followed Fang Pingsheng's instructions.First, Mei Zhong's little grandson was left behind, then Shangguan Xinrou's confidant Zhao's mother was left behind, and then the rest were brought to the front hall.

Since he didn't know how many people served Shangguan Xinrou and didn't know the person who served her, Xiao Qichen waited for everyone to stand still and asked a few words.After confirming that it was correct and not finding any missing people, he took them and left.

I don't know if the emperor can help her recover the money, but before Xiao Qichen left, Mei Xin told about her transfer of government soldiers from Liangzhou, and also said that he would enter the city tomorrow morning.
