Su Han led people to leave Fengwei Village, and met Xiao Yanli who came to support him halfway.
When he saw them escorting a long line of nearly a thousand people, he was stunned.
Su Han didn't give him too long and pointed in the direction of Fengwei Village: "You lead people to guard that village. There is also Cheng Xiyou, the fourth son of Cheng who went out to transport goods but has not returned. Wait for him to come back and hold him down."
That's almost it. I'll send the people back to the town first, and then Cheng Tianan will fall."
"Little... Captain Su, I'll send some more people to follow you." Xiao Yanli said worriedly.
With just these thirty or so people escorting so many people back, what would be the big deal if something really happened on the way.
Su Han looked at the long queue and nodded. Now is not the time to show off.
"Okay, give me five hundred people. Remember, the ferry at Fengwei Village must be guarded. I have already sent a letter to His Highness. He will send more people to set up checkpoints at all the ferries and ports in the county. It seems that,
We also need to have a force on the water, which will be better." Su Han said to him.
"That's true. This will make it easier to track down and intercept enemies driving ships." Xiao Yanli particularly agreed.
"If you have a good idea, explain it to His Highness when you return to Baifeng City, and don't think about it yourself." Su Han saw his intention and said encouragingly.
"Yes, I will obey Captain Su's order." Xiao Yanli nodded with a smile.
He was extremely convinced by this little imperial aunt. Just because he was just curious, he followed her and practiced with Jiangbin Yang Fan for about ten days, and gained a lot. Looking at the female soldiers she is leading now,
But the weak women who had no foundation before can now be put to use.
"Okay, no more words. Complete your mission, pay attention to safety, and talk when you come back." Su Han waved to him.
Xiao Yanli dispatched 500 officers and soldiers to accompany them on their return journey, and then took the remaining people to Fengwei Village.
But after a while, Xia Qing caught up with him and conveyed Su Han's meaning: "The captain said that after General Xiao entered the village, he led people to carefully investigate the village again. There must be something to gain. All the
All unfavorable places will be blocked so that the town can redistribute them to other new villagers to avoid leaving any future troubles. Also, the warehouse at the end of the village must not be destroyed or wasted."
"I understand," Xiao Yanli replied with a smile.
When Su Han and his party entered Qingque Town, they saw Sun Jizong, the magistrate, waiting for them at the city gate.
"Why is Sun Zhixian here and not in the Yamen?" Su Han asked.
"There is King Yi in the yamen, and His Highness asked his subordinates to come to the city gate to greet the young master. However, the current situation there is not very ideal. Cheng Tianan, an old man, gritted his teeth and refused to let go. King Yi was also helpless." Sun Jizong
He grinned in embarrassment.
Su Han just nodded his head with a cold smile: "I thought about it, if he lets go, the head on his neck will be gone. It will only take a little more struggle. This old boy knows that he is not going to die soon, but he is still holding on.
It’s just the last glimmer of hope.”
"What hope is there? What he said is true. He has a bargaining chip to avoid death?" Sun Jizong asked worriedly.
If this is really the case, then wouldn't their work have been in vain? This old man is a ruthless man. Once he recovers, he will definitely be killed.
In the past few years when they were officials here, they had competed many times with equal success and loss, but they also knew that Cheng Tianan was confident, so he couldn't really be what he showed off.
Su Han shook his head lightly: "Now he doesn't have any leverage. From the evidence we arrested and seized, it will be difficult for him to explain clearly, and it has to be convincing to everyone, even if it was not his own fault.
But he also has to bear the responsibility of lax discipline, and he can’t get away with it!”
"But I'm still worried. If he really shirks it, we really can't convict him of any serious crime. If we really let him go, there will be big troubles." Sun Jizong reminded her.
"Don't worry, Magistrate Sun, he can't escape." Su Han smiled at him confidently.
Those who were escorted back were first imprisoned in the county government prison. Because this was just a county government office, the place was not big. In addition, with the previous prisoners, the place was overcrowded, and every cell was overcrowded.
.
But the man named Cheng Nanhe was locked in a separate room and was guarded by four female soldiers.
After Su Han washed up, she appeared in the lobby. She walked in with her hands behind her back. When she saw Cheng Tianan and Cheng Beiyu kneeling there, she suddenly smiled.
This meaningful smile really stunned the two of them, and at the same time they had some bad premonitions in their hearts.
King Yi had already stood up and looked at her eagerly. When he saw her closing her eyes and smiling at him and nodding slightly, he put down the mental arithmetic he was holding.
He even came forward and asked in a low voice with concern: "Are you injured?"
Su Han shrugged: "How could those little brats hurt me? Don't worry."
"That's good, but it's not so smooth here. These two people are very tough. I asked the question until my voice became hoarse, but they didn't say a word. It seems that I am really not suitable for interrogating criminals.
." King Yi said apologetic words, but he looked a bit like he was complaining and acting coquettishly.
Su Han frowned slightly and curled his lips again: "It's useless for you to tell me this. Talk to your uncle, he will feel sorry for you."
"No need!" King Yi immediately became serious and shook his head.
The two were chatting happily, but the two kneeling in the hall were not calm. From what they said, the young master must have done something, and it was successful. No wonder they were found here like this.
I haven't seen this young master show up for a long time. It turns out he was on an errand.
So what kind of errand is he doing? Will it be detrimental to them?
Su Han also turned his head to look at them and said to King Yi: "It's been a night of interrogation. Your Highness is tired. Go and have a rest. I'll do it."
"Young Master, you are also tired, why not just..." Prince Yi said worriedly when he saw her eyes were red and her face was a little pale.
"I'm okay. Look at these two, they are both over a hundred years old together, but they are still so erect. I am not as good as them at my young age, and I am the best at the job of making eagles.
I have a magic weapon." As Su Han spoke, he looked at Cheng Tianan and his son, the smile on his face made them a little frightened.
King Yi immediately nodded and smiled knowingly: "It's true that the young master's magic weapon is invincible in the world, but I just don't know if these two can afford it. It is a valuable item."
Su Han shrugged his shoulders: "We really don't need to worry about this. Let's just say that the jade cabbage in the main hall of Mr. Cheng's house looks like a good thing at first glance, and it's worth one. It's all an exchange. I
You can’t be stingy, right?”
King Yi laughed even louder: "What you said is absolutely true, so I will send someone to get it and treat it as a replacement."
"Yes, that's good. If we exchange something for something, don't say we took advantage of him." Su Han nodded to him.
Looking at Cheng Tianan and his son who were stunned there, she suddenly stopped smiling, said seriously with a straight face: "I will give you another half-quarter of an hour, if you don't tell the truth, then
, don’t regret it later.”
The two of them looked at each other, but they still didn't believe it. Without any proof or evidence, they dared to use torture to fail. As long as they didn't let go, they would have a chance to leave here alive.
