Those who knew Xie Yuan were just terrified, because after all, she was a member of the ballad and story, and she was the one who was cuckolded the most.

Even though Xie Yuan acted very kindly at this time and even asked people to treat his injuries, they felt that they had fallen into her hands and might not survive.

"General... we don't know anything. I just covered my mouth on the street and they arrested me. I don't know anything!" one person said.

"I'm from out of town. I just entered the capital. I really don't know anything... I just asked the person in front of me what crime he had committed, and I was beaten... Sir, you clearly understand that I was really wronged, wuwuwu

..." another person said.

"General... Wuwuwu, I really don't know anything, Wuwuwu..." said a teenage boy.

Xie Yuan listened to these people begging for mercy, kowtowing and crying, but no one could calm down and say a few words. She suddenly felt a headache.

So he just pursed his lips tightly, looked at them helplessly, and said nothing.

When those people were tired from crying, they went to check Xie Yuan's expression, only to find that Xie Yuan was holding a riding crop in his hand and looking at them with a frosty expression.

She grew up in the military, and in order to maintain her appearance, she had perfected her cold and inhuman aura, which was extremely powerful. It was impossible for these civilians to resist, and they were all frightened and stopped talking, lowering their voices.

My head shook like a quail.

Seeing that they had finally "calmed down", Xie Yuan said warmly:

"Don't worry. When I ask you, I mainly want to find out the source of the spread of the song. As long as you tell where you got the information and confess it, I can let you go. Of course, we will let you go if you confess the person."

He will also ask the same questions and then let him go without any punishment until the root cause is found."

Xie Yuan scanned their expressions with a pair of red phoenix eyes and asked:

"Do you understand?...If you don't tell me whether you are alive or dead, then you can only lock me up first."

Everyone kneeling in the hall looked at each other, and one person asked cautiously:

"General...what you said...is...true?"

Xie Yuan threw the riding crop in his hand onto the desk, leaned against the edge of the desk with one hand, leaned forward and said casually:

"Once a word is made, it's hard to follow it. You can give it a try."

There was another tense silence. At this time, a person spoke:

"I said, I said... I heard it sung by my neighbor Ergou. He said he heard it from the children on the street when he went to the market in the morning."

When Xie Yuan heard this, he said to the official of the Tingwei Department: "Send someone to follow him to verify, and record the testimony in the book. If what he said is true, let him go."

"yes."

So everyone watched as the man from before had a rope tied to his hand and was led outside the gate of the Tingwei Office.

Everyone looked at the backs of the two people leaving with envious eyes.

Just like that, after a short silence, many people shouted:

"I said, I said...I came from..."

"I'm listening..."

Everyone was talking in confusion again, making such an uproar that it was impossible to hear clearly what was being said.

Xie Yuan shouted angrily in a calm voice: "Okay! Come one by one!"

Her voice was loud and penetrating, with a cold flavor, which immediately suppressed the noise of those people and made them quiet again.

Xie Yuan turned to Sun Tian standing next to him and said:

"I'm afraid there are not enough people in the Tingwei Department. You should go too, one person at a time. Write down all the testimonies in full and bring them back. If you are unsure, bring them back to me if you think they are suspicious."

She paused and then said uneasily: "We are all laymen. If you don't understand anything, please ask the people in the Tingwei Department."

"Yes, I understand." Sun Tian responded, and just as he turned around to leave, he remembered something again and froze there.

Xie Yuan asked: "What's wrong?"

Sun Tian said worriedly: "We'd better leave some people behind... They're all gone. If you are in any danger, we..."

Xie Yuan couldn't laugh or cry and said:

"What are you thinking about? This is not a battlefield. What danger can I be in? As long as I am not surrounded by thousands of troops, how many people can beat me?"

Sun Tian smiled awkwardly and said, "That's right..."

Xiao Erdan interrupted at this time: "You should worry about yourself, don't check and find out if you really meet a desperado and accidentally die here. I will follow the general to serve tea and water, and it will be safer than you."

"

Xie Yuan glanced at Xiao Erdan with dissatisfaction and said, "Why are you so arrogant with your mouth?"

Sun Tian smiled and said: "...That's impossible. Sneak attacks won't work. Our skills are not trained by generals every day. We have to be alert."

Xie Yuan smiled and curled up the corner of his mouth, then immediately closed it up and said seriously and gently:

"You still have to be careful, don't talk too much, and go quickly."

"Yes." Sun Tian responded and took the order to make arrangements.

Collecting evidence, especially collecting information from a large number of people, is a very arduous task.

At least this is the case for a person like Xie Yuan who doesn't like reading.

She guards piles of testimonial documents every day, searching for clues in them, which is more torturous than going to the battlefield.

Fortunately, with the assistance of Zhang Qing and others, they were doing the most arduous screening part, and Xie Yuan was only responsible for checking.

Even so, after three days, Xie Yuan felt uncomfortable and had a headache.

Xie Yuan rested his forehead on the desk with his hands, raised his eyes and glanced at Ma Shuo, who was also reading documents not far away.

If she wasn't afraid that others would forge testimonies and do some tricks in it, she really wanted to leave it to Zhang Qing and the others and let them see.

However, it seems that since Ma Shuo came back that day, he seems to have figured it out, and he has not been seen causing trouble or acting like a monster.

If we follow this trend, maybe this case will go smoothly and it may be closed normally.

"General Xie... Based on the evidence collected in the past few days, we have found three places where the spread is most intensive. I suspect it is related to them. Take a look."

Xie Yuan came out of his distraction, scratched his brow with his fingertips as he had a headache, and then took the document from Zhang Qing's hand.

After Ma Shuo heard Zhang Qing's words, he reluctantly got up from his seat and came closer, for fear that he would miss some important information.

"You... I remember the confessions of these people. They all said that they heard it from elsewhere, and it was reasonable and traceable. Why do you think there is something wrong with the people in these places?" Xie Yuan frowned.

Asked with brows.

She was very afraid that she had wronged someone again and had an unjust case.

The suspect they caught must be dead, so they must be cautious and cautious.
