Everyone in the ancestral family exchanged glances with each other, and after listening to Han Dang's words, they could already confirm Deng Mao's suspicion.

After a pause, Han Dang continued: "This thief Wang Zheng quickly confessed, saying that this matter was done by Deng Mao and a group of idle people in nearby towns, he was just an outsider, and he was only responsible for finding out the news and cleaning up the aftermath, and he did not participate in the horse robbery on the day, and he didn't know much about the specific situation. According to him, Deng Mao was a small leader in the horse robbery case, and because of the big noise recently, these people have long fled and disappeared.

An uncle of the ancestral family angrily scolded the case: "The thieves and the people, dare to offend the prestige of my ancestral family, it is simply a way to kill yourself."

The others also exchanged their heads and discussed for a while, although most people had expected that this matter had nothing to do with Deng Mao, but at this moment, when it was decided, a wave of anger could not help but surge. As a wealthy family, the ancestral family will not offend some little thieves, and there are too many unbearable grievances.

Zu Zhao didn't show that he was very excited, since he had expected it, the direction he cared about at this time was naturally different from others. His face was grim, and after pondering for a while, he asked, "Brother Han, did this thief say that this matter has something to do with Taiping Dao?"

Han Dang frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "This thief didn't mention this. After all, Han didn't know much, so he could only ask key questions. But it was precisely with this in mind that Han thought of bringing this thief directly to the ancestral prince's mansion, and later he only needed to use cold water to wake up the thief and then ask him about it.

Zu Zhao smiled happily: "It's still Brother Han who is thoughtful." Brother Han hurried overnight, and he still took this thief with him, which was really hard.

Han Dang stopped and wrote lightly: "What a way."

Zu Zhao said again: "It's still early at this time, Brother Han will stay in the village to rest first, and after dawn, he will have to discuss this matter with Brother Han for a long time." Luckily? "

As early as when he was in the backyard racecourse, the reason why Han Dang promised Zu Zhao to drink a cup of hot tea in the village was nothing more than because he expected that he still had something to contribute to this matter. At this time, Zu Zhao almost did not hide his attitude, he naturally did not have any excuses, and accepted it straightforwardly.

So, Zu Zhao instructed the servants waiting outside the door to clean up a side room first, and then prepare some wine and food. He personally sent Han Dang out of the side hall door, and watched Han Dang leave along the corridor before returning to the hall. Several uncles and Zu Zhan, Zu Ji and other children were still talking about each other, and everyone was very excited, and some people thought that they should inform the old man and Chen Xianjun as soon as possible.

"Eldest Prince, is this person reliable?" Zu Zhan didn't know Han Dang, and after seeing Zu Zhao come back, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"Rest assured, Han Yigong is a righteous man in the world, and his words must be believed." Zu Zhao said without doubt.

"So what should we do now?" Zu Zhan asked again.

"Ah Cheng, didn't they come back yesterday?" Zu Zhao was not in a hurry, and asked with confidence.

"Nope. Presumably, he couldn't get out of the city in time, so he stayed in Lingzhi County with Ah Zhong and Ah Bao. Zu Zhan said.

Zu Zhao nodded slightly, but his heart was thinking quickly. He had to sigh that this world was really quaint, and he thought that Han Dang, who was not the head of the dragon and could not see the end, would need to be slowly won over in the future, but he didn't expect that his chivalrous heart would do it quietly. He was also very glad that he asked Uncle Hong to help Han Dang's family, which can be regarded as a report and a report.

"Let's go, let's go to the stable." Adjust your thoughts, Zu Zhao said categorically.

Everyone has no objections, and they all hope to get more clues and information as soon as possible and understand the matter as soon as possible.

The group followed Zu Zhao out of the side hall and rushed straight to the backyard. When he came to the horse feed room in the backyard horse farm, the door was open, and several children were guarding inside and out, but Wang Zheng was still unconscious, slumped on the cold haystack, motionless.

"Go get a bucket of water." Zu Zhao commanded.

Zu Ji didn't let the other children go, he rolled up his sleeves and came outside the house to fill a bucket of cold water. returned to the horse feed room, and after getting Zu Zhao's instructions, he poured a bucket of water on Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng was suddenly stimulated and struggled with a scream, as if he had just been fished out of the mud.

"Spare your life, spare your life, I don't know anything."

Wang Zheng didn't see the surrounding situation clearly for a while, but only shrank his head vigorously, panicked, and struggled to get farther away from the people around him.

"Splash thief, dare to scream again." A disciple kicked Wang Zheng hard and scolded him sharply.

Wang Zheng was originally short and had triangular eyes, but now he shrunk into a ball and really looked like a big mouse. He howled twice in pain, too frightened to squeak any more.

Zu Zhao took a step forward and looked down at Wang Zheng condescendingly. There was no light in the stable, only the light from outside the house was reflected through the doors and windows, which hit him just on him, setting off a different sense of majesty.

"Before I ask, I'm going to tell you some rules. It's not a bureaucracy, and we don't have that much patience. If you can't answer a question, I'll cut off one of your fingers. When you're done cutting your fingers, cut off your toes. You can start by adding up how many chances you have.

Zu Zhao's tone when he spoke was very slow, without any emotion, and there was a kind of biting cold that seemed to come from the abyss.

Wang Zheng's face suddenly turned pale, and his wet body trembled more and more. Even the children of the ancestral family around were more or less surprised by Zu Zhao's words, and they never expected that the eldest son, who was gentle and elegant on weekdays, would say such cruel words at this time. Of course, surprise is surprise, no one showed it too obviously, in their opinion, maybe this is just the eldest prince deliberately releasing cruel words to scare Wang Zheng.

"How many of you are involved in the horse robbery?"

"The villain, the villain really doesn't know... The villain is just doing chores... Help find out the news..."

"Bring a knife!" Zu Zhao commanded left and right with an expressionless face.

Everyone on the left and right was stunned for a moment, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to confirm that this is the eldest prince deliberately bluffing, or if he really wants to bring a knife. It didn't take long for Zu Ji to act first, although he had doubts, but he still believed in the instructions of the eldest prince. He quickly found a short knife from outside the house and handed it to Zu Zhao.

"Hold his hand." Zu Zhao twisted the knife and said coldly.

"Don't, don't, spare your life... Oh my God... I say, I say, I say everything. Seeing this, Wang Zheng was immediately frightened by the bright short knife, and cried and shouted.

Zu Zhao didn't stop, and resolutely pulled Wang Zheng's fingers.

"Forty-six ... No, no, forty-nine people, counting a few of them, forty-nine people..."Wang Zheng hurriedly shouted.

"The next time you dare to deceive me again, I will cut off two of your fingers at a time." Zu Zhao said coldly, and his voice was as creepy as a soul seducer. After he finished speaking, he also fiercely inserted the short knife in front of Wang Zheng, and his skin could almost directly feel the coldness on the blade.

After this section, everyone present was more or less relieved, one was not sympathetic and pitiful for Wang Zheng, a treacherous man, and the other was more sure that Zu Zhao was just deliberately "bluffing". Everyone couldn't help but admire the eldest prince for being able to see through this thief at a glance.

However, for Zu Zhao, he is not bluffing, if Wang Zheng still refuses to confess, or can't answer because he really doesn't know, he will definitely cut off the other party's finger without hesitation. can only say that luck is not bad, Wang Zheng is really a person who knows a lot of inside information.

"Yes, yes, the villain will never dare to hide it anymore."

"Who planned the horse robbery? But you're targeting my ancestors? Zu Zhao asked.

"There were three people, but the villain only knew two of them, no, no, one, and the other the villain didn't know what his name was, but only his appearance. The person the villain knows is Deng Mao, he, he is one of the masterminds. The other person is not a local, and he is not from Youzhou when he listens to the accent. Deng Mao said that the person was specially sent by the great sage and mentor of the giant deer to respond. Wang Zheng was nervous, and his speech seemed a little incoherent.

Zu Zhao and several uncles glanced at each other, and most of them had grim faces, but they were not too serious. For others, there are not many or few people who have heard of the great sage and good teacher of Julu, and now that Taiping Dao is in an uproar, the reputation of the initiator is of course also spreading. It can be seen that the horse robbery case is really directly related to Taiping Road!

If there is still more or less ambiguity in the "Great Sage and Good Teacher", then there is only Zhang Jiao in the history of the "Great Sage and Good Teacher" who came out of Julu.

Zu Zhao secretly had a sense of excitement in his heart, this news was by no means bad news for him!

"Go on."

"In addition to the two of them, there is another person. However, this person usually does not appear often, and the villain really hasn't seen it a few times. Deng Mao didn't mention much to the villain, only saying that this person was a ruthless character, and there were several powerful helpers around him. That's all the villain knows... Ancestral family, against ancestral family? Ancestral home... Which ancestral family? Wang Zheng didn't understand for a while, and mistakenly thought that the "ancestral family" mentioned by Zu Zhao was "the ancestral family".

"Are you and Deng Mao both Taiping Dao believers?" Zu Zhaohan Wang Zheng didn't dare to hide it, so he immediately asked again.

"No, no, villains are not peaceful. However, Deng Mao is. Even if Deng Mao is not, he often interacts with those Taoists on weekdays. There is a sage and a master, and there is a Fengxian master, two Taoists, who live in the ruined temple outside the city on weekdays, and Deng Mao is very familiar with them. Wang Zheng didn't dare to slack off and said again and again.

Not only that, but most of the ways of believing in Taiping Tao are different in various places, and there may be sincere believers among ordinary people, but most of them are low-key and simple, and they conscientiously abide by their duties. Instead of taking a conspicuous name, on the contrary, they will help others silently and sincerely. What a mage, a guru, no one canonized or recognized at all.

But then again, those who can influence a side of the crowd with such a name are clearly directly related to the leadership of Taiping Dao. As Wang Zheng said, this horse robbery case was a great sage and good teacher who sent his children to deal with it. From this, it is not difficult to speculate that Taiping Dao is really ready to move.
