Chapter 40, asked overnight

The ancestors exchanged glances with each other. After listening to Han Dang's words, they could already soliden Deng Mao's suspicion.

After a pause, Han Dang continued: "The thief Wang Zheng quickly confessed that the matter was done by Deng Mao and a group of idle troubles in nearby towns. He was just an outsider, only helping to find out the news and deal with the aftermath. He did not participate in the day of the robbery, and the details were not well known. According to him, Deng Mao is the leader of the horse robbery case. Recently, because of too much noise, these people have already fled.

An uncle of the ancestral family scolded angrily: "The thief and the unruly people dare to attack the prestige of my ancestral family. It's simply to find a way to die."

Other people also whispered to each other. Although most people had expected that this matter would not be inseparable from Deng Mao, it was settled at this moment, and a cavity of anger could not stop surging. As a rich family, the ancestral family will not offend some little thieves. There are too many unbearable grievances.

Zi Zhao was very excited. Since he had expected it, the direction he was concerned about at this time was naturally different from others. His face was grim. After a period of meditation, he asked, "Brother Han, has this thief said that this matter also has something to do with Taiping Road?"

Han Dang frowned slightly and shook his head, "This thief has never mentioned this matter. After all, Han doesn't know much, so he can only ask key questions. But it was with this in mind that Han wanted to take the thief directly to his father's house. Later, he only woke up the thief with cold water and then questioned him.

Zu Zhao smiled happily and said, "Brother Han is still considerate. Brother Han rushed on his way overnight and took this thief with him. It's really hard work.

Han Dang gave up and wrote lightly: "What's the matter?"

Zu Zhao said again, "It's still early now. Brother Han will live and rest in the village first. After dawn, he will have to discuss this matter with Brother Han for a long time. Is it good?"

As early as in the backyard horse farm, the reason why Han Dang promised Zu Zhao to go to Zhuang for a cup of hot tea was nothing more than expecting that he would still contribute to this matter. At this time, Zu Zhao almost showed his attitude. Naturally, he would not have any refusal and accepted it bluntly.

So, Zu Zhao ordered the servants waiting outside the door to clean up a wing room first, and then prepare some wine and food. He personally sent Han Dang out of the door of the hall, and saw Han Dang leave along the corridor before returning to the hall. Several uncles and Zu Zhan, Zu Ji and other children are still whispering. Everyone is very excited. Some people think that they should inform the old master and Chen Xianjun as soon as possible.

"Big son, is this man reliable?" Zu Zhan didn't know Han Dang. After seeing Zu Zhao come back, he hurried forward to ask.

"Don't worry, Han Yigong is a righteous man in the world, and his words must be believed." Zu Zhao said without any doubt.

"What should we do now?" Zu Zhan asked again.

"Didn't A Cheng come back yesterday?" Zu Zhao was not anxious and asked with a confident attitude.

"No. He must not be able to get out of the city and stay in Lingzhi County with Azhong and Abao. Zu Zhan said.

Zu Zhao nodded slightly, but thought quickly in his heart. He had to sigh that the world was really simple. He thought that Han Dang, who saw the beginning and the end of the dragon, needed to slowly pull over in the future, but he didn't expect that his chivalrous heart would do things without saying a sound. He was also glad that he asked Uncle Hong to pick up Han's family, which was a return.

"Go to the horse room." Adjusting his mind, Zu Zhao said firmly.

Everyone has no objection and hopes to get more clues as soon as possible and understand the matter as soon as possible.

The group followed Zu Zhao out of the side hall and went straight to the backyard. When he came to the horse yard in the backyard, the door was open, and several children were strictly guarded inside and outside. Wang Zheng was still unconscious and collapsed on the cold haystack, motionless.

"Go and get a bucket of water." Zu Zhao ordered.

Zu Ji didn't let other children go. He rolled up his sleeves and came outside the house to fill a bucket of cold water. Returning to the horse room, after receiving Zu Zhao's instructions, he poured a bucket of water on Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng was suddenly stimulated and struggled with screams, like a loach that had just been fished out of the mud.

"Forgive me, forgive me, I don't know anything."

Wang Zheng did not see the situation clearly for a while. He only shrank his head, panicked, and struggled to stay away from the people around him.

"Thieve, dare to try again." A son kicked Wang Zheng fiercely and scolded him harshly.

Wang Zheng was originally short and had a pair of triangular eyes. Now he shrank into a ball, but it was really like a big mouse. He howled twice in pain and was too scared to squeak any more.

Zuzu Zhao took a step forward and looked down on Wang Zheng. There were no lights in the horse room, only the fire outside the house reflected through the doors and windows, hitting him, setting off a different sense of majesty.

"Before I ask, I want to tell you some rules. This is not an official government office, and we don't have so much patience. If you can't answer a question, I will cut off one of your fingers. After cutting your finger, cut your toes. You can calculate how many opportunities you have first.

Zu Zhao's tone was very slow, without any emotion, and there was a kind of piercing cold from the abyss.

Wang Zheng's face suddenly turned pale, and his wet body trembled more and more. Even the children of the ancestors around were more or less surprised by Zu Zhao's words. Unexpectedly, the gentle eldest son would say such cruel words at this time. Of course, no one was surprised. In their opinion, it may be just that the eldest son deliberately released harsh words to scare Wang Zheng.

"How many of you have participated in the robbery of horses?"

"Little man, the little man really doesn't know... The little man is just a handyman... Help me find out the news..."

"B get the knife!" Zu Zhao ordered left and right with no expression on his face.

The people around were stunned for a moment. Look at me and I look at you. No one dares to confirm that this is the eldest son deliberately frighten people, or really wants to bring a knife. Before long, Zu Ji was the first to take action. Although he had doubts, he still believed more in the instructions of the eldest son. He quickly found a knife from outside the house and handed it to Zu Zhao.

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

"Don't, don't, spare my life... Oh, my God... I said, I said, I said everything." Seeing this, Wang Zheng was immediately scared by the bright knife and shouted loudly.

Zu Zhao did not stop and resolutely pulled Wang Zheng's fingers.

"Forty-six people... No, no, 49 people, including a few of them, 49..." Wang Zheng shouted quickly.

"Next time you dare to bully me again, I will cut you two fingers at a time." Zu Zhao said coldly, and his voice was creepy like a soul messenger. After he finished speaking, he 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, the people present were more or less relieved. On the one hand, they did not feel sympathy and pity for the treacherous Wang Zheng, and on the other hand, they were more sure that Zu Zhao was just deliberately "bluffing". Everyone can't help admiring the big son for seeing through this thief at a glance.

However, for Zu Zhao, he is not bluffing. If Wang Zheng still refuses to confess, or because he really doesn't know anything, he will definitely cut off the other party's fingers without hesitation. I can only say that I am not unlucky. Wang Zheng is indeed a person who knows a lot of inside information.

"Yes, yes, the villain dares not hide it anymore."

Who planned the robbery of the horse? But are you specifically targeting my ancestral family? Zu Zhao asked.

"There are three people, but the villain only knows two of them. No, no, one, the other villain doesn't know what to call him, but only knows his appearance. The person the little man knows is Deng Mao, and he is one of the masterminds. The other person is not a local, and his accent is not from Youzhou. Deng Mao said that the man was specially sent by the great virtuous teacher. Wang Zheng spoke a little incoherently because he was nervous.

Zuzu Zhao looked at several uncles. Most of the people looked grim, but it was not too serious. For others, there are not many or few people who have heard of the great virtuous master of giant deer. Nowadays, the peace road is making a lot of noise, and of course, the reputation of the originator has also spread wildly. It can be seen that the horse robbery case is indeed directly related to Taiping Road!

If there is still more or less ambiguity, Zhang Jiao is the only one in the history of the "big virtuous teacher" who came out of the giant deer.

Zu Zhao's mood is hidden with excitement, and this news is by no means bad news for him!

"Go on."

"In addition to the two of them, there is another person. However, this person doesn't appear very often, and the villain really hasn't seen him a few times. Deng Mao also mentioned little to the villain. He only said that this person was a fierce character and there were several powerful helpers around him. That's all the villain knows... The ancestral family, against the ancestral family? Ancestor family... Which ancestor family?" Wang Zheng didn't understand for a moment and mistakenly thought that the "ancestral family" mentioned by Zu Zhao was the "ancestral family".

"Are you a Taiping Taoist as Deng Mao?" Zu Zhao and Wang Zheng did not dare to hide it, so he immediately asked again.

"No, no, the villain is not a peaceful way. However, Deng Mao is. Even if Deng Mao is not, he often goes with those Taoist people. There is a sage mage and a Fengxian sage. Two Taoists usually live in the ruined temple outside the city. Deng Mao is very familiar with them. Wang Zheng did not dare to neglect repeatedly.

The two names of Sage Master and Fengxian Master sound like a suspicion of Taiping Road. Not only that, most of the ways of believing in Taiping Road are different in different places. There may be sincere believers among ordinary people, but most of them are low-key and simple, conscientious and abide by their duty. Instead of taking such a trump name, he will silently and sincerely help others. No mage or sage is recognized by no one at all.

However, it is obviously directly related to the leadership of Taiping Road that can influence people with such names. As Wang Zheng said, the horse robbery case was appointed by a virtuous teacher to respond. From this, it is not difficult to speculate that Taiping Road is indeed ready to move.
