When Zhao Jin entered, Takeda had already tied the person to a chair, and he found a clean place to sit at random.
"Master Hou."
Seeing Zhao Jin, Takeda immediately stood up and without hiding it, directly called Zhao Jin "Master Hou".
Huang Ran's pupils shrank, "Marquis Xuanping?"
He recognized Zhao Jin.
Zhao Jin raised his eyebrows and said, "Butler Huang."
"What does Xuan Pinghou mean?" Huang Ran struggled for a moment, but the rope was tied too tightly and he couldn't move at all.
Takeda frowned, stepped forward and kicked him, "Be honest."
"Butler Huang really doesn't know?"
Zhao Jin leaned against a table with missing legs and asked in a deep voice: "I heard that Mr. Fang sold his property to provide relief for the disaster, but Butler Huang still has so much money to spend in a brothel?"
Huang Ran was originally very angry, but when he heard these words, most of his energy suddenly disappeared.
"Folks, poor folks just can't help themselves and use some money to relax."
"Save money?" Zhao Jin gave a sarcastic smile, "It seems you have quite a lot of money."
Huang Ran reluctantly twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Caomin, Caomin is just..."
Before Huang Ran could finish his words, Zhao Jin's face suddenly darkened, "Huang Ran, do you really think that I am a fool?"
"Since I have arrested you directly, I already have evidence in my hand." Zhao Jin stood up straight and approached Huang Ran step by step.
As Zhao Jin approached, Huang Ran couldn't help but swallowed, and his expression was obviously nervous.
"The common people, the common people don't understand what the Marquis is talking about."
"not understand?"
Zhao Jin asked repeatedly: "Huang Ran, where do you get the money to go to a brothel every two days?"
"I would like to ask you, does the robbery of disaster silver have anything to do with you?!"
"Where are all the disaster silver hidden?"
Huang Ran's hands, which were tied to his arms, suddenly clenched tightly, "The common people don't know what the Marquis said."
"The disaster silver has been robbed, and the county governor is also very anxious, but unless the robber is eliminated, it is really impossible to find where the disaster silver is."
"Bandit?"
Zhao Jin smiled mockingly, "Huang Ran, that soldier was also killed by bandits?"
"Yes." Huang Ran's hands clenched tighter and tighter, without showing any signs of it on his face.
Zhao Jin's eyes swept over his clenched hands covertly, and he smiled, "But I found something from the government office and Fangzheng Mountain there."
"You said, if it was bandits who killed the family, why would there be evidence pointing to Fangzheng Mountain?"
Zhao Jin's eyes were always firmly locked on Huang Ran, not missing any detail.
When Zhao Jin finished speaking, Huang Ran's expression changed slightly.
This change was clearly reflected in Zhao Jin's eyes.
"This, this common man really doesn't know." Huang Ran's face was stiff and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Zhao Jin continued to press, "Furthermore, how did these bandits know the route of the imperial court to transport the disaster silver? And then ambush them in advance?"
Seeing Huang Ran's expression getting worse and worse, Zhao Jin laughed and asked the last question, "Tell me, where are the account books."
Huang Ran's expression completely changed.
The next moment, he immediately realized that he had just revealed a clue.
Zhao Jin looked at Huang Ran, who raised his head, and was convinced that there was indeed an account book.
The evidence and account books that Zhao Jin mentioned just now were all just a swindle from Huang Ran.
They have not yet visited the homes of the soldiers who were exterminated, so naturally they cannot find the so-called evidence.
As for the account books, the amount of disaster money was huge, and it was impossible for Fang Zhengshan to handle everything by himself.
Therefore, the disaster bankers need to divide the spoils. In this case, they must have accounting books, otherwise it is easy to cause trouble.
"Hand over the account book, and I may be able to treat you lightly."
Huang Ran gritted his teeth and said, "People don't know what ledgers are like!"
"If you don't drink a toast, you'll have to drink wine as a penalty." Zhao Jin's expression darkened, and he bent down and approached Huang Ran, "Tell me, if I send you here directly, will Fangzheng Mountain be able to find clues?"
Huang Ran shuddered and looked into Zhao Jin's eyes.
It was freezing inside.
Marquis Xuanping was not joking, he might really kill him directly.
"Takeda." Zhao Jin stared at Huang Ran and said softly: "Knife."
Takeda immediately handed his sword to Zhao Jin.
After taking the knife, Zhao Jin raised his hand and stabbed Huang Ran directly!
The sharp wind of the knife directly cut the skin on the side of Huang Ran's face.
Huang Ran almost thought that Zhao Jin was going to chop him directly, so he closed his eyes suddenly and felt a pain on the side of his face.
After a while, he opened his eyes, and before he could even breathe out, he saw the big knife stuck next to him.
Zhao Jin did not directly chop Huang Ran with a knife, but inserted the knife into the chair close to Huang Ran's face.
When Huang Ran opened his eyes, he suddenly pulled out the big knife, and the blade cut Huang Ran's face again.
Huang Ran looked directly at the sword passing by his eyes, and his pupils shrank sharply.
"Can we talk now?" Zhao Jin asked again, holding a knife in his hand, "Where are the account books?"
Huang Ran's lips trembled, opened and closed several times, and finally said: "I said."
Zhao Jin chuckled, took a few steps back, and threw the knife in his hand into the distance, "Go ahead."
"That account book is in the governor's study."
Huang Ran's face was full of defeat, "In the study, there is a hidden compartment on the wall where the bookshelf is placed, and the account books are there."
"You want to move the front bookshelf?" Takeda said in surprise.
Not to mention how troublesome it is to move the front bookshelf, this movement will definitely attract people over immediately.
Zhao Jin glanced at Takeda wordlessly and said simply: "Where is the agency?"
"It's the inkstone on the table."
Having already revealed the location of the account book, Huang Ran had nothing to hide, so he simply smashed the jar and shook everything about Fang Zhengshan away.
"One of the people who escorted the disaster silver was a fellow villager of the county governor, who was from Hedong County. The county governor contacted him, persuaded him to do this, and informed the county governor of the transportation route of the disaster silver."
Zhao Jin looked cold, "Then you contact the bandits and steal the disaster money."
"Yes." After Huang Ran told everything, he felt a lot more relaxed, "That's why there is the only survivor."
"But later, the county guard was afraid that the news would be leaked, so he did nothing and killed the only surviving soldier."
Takeda couldn't help but cursed, "This Fang Zhengshan is so damn cruel."
Huang Ran swallowed his saliva and said, "Master Hou, the common people have explained everything. Can you, can you spare the life of the common people?"
With cold eyes, Zhao Jin looked down at Huang Ran and asked, "Do you know how many people have died because of the disaster these days?"
Huang Ran trembled, and a flash of fear flashed across his face.
However, Zhao Jin did not let him go and continued: "Do you think those people will seek your life?"
"No, it's not me, it's none of my business." Huang Ran was shaking all over and speaking incoherently.
