However, the middle-aged man said: "Cui Nong? I have never heard of this name."
After finishing speaking, he looked at his parents again, "Mom, dad, have you heard of this?"
The two old men shook their heads like rattles.
"This," the middle-aged man said helplessly, "we have never heard of this person."
"Really?" The military official smiled as he caught their expressions in his eyes.
Hearing this laughter, the middle-aged man nervously grabbed his robe and said with a dry smile: "Indeed, I have never heard of it."
"But this Cui Nong is from Cuijia Village. He originally lived at the location of that house." The military official raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the big house built by the Yao family here.
"This..." The middle-aged man still wanted to make up some excuses to excuse himself, but he hesitated for a long time.
The old man sitting next to him suddenly stood up and pushed the military official who had just spoken out.
"Let's go! You go quickly! Don't force us!"
The old man's voice was old and sad, "We just want to live well, don't force us, we can't say anything!"
Naturally, the old man couldn't push the tall and thick military official, but the other man didn't dare to push him for fear of accidentally pushing him down and getting hurt.
The yamen guard standing nearby frowned and shouted with an unkind expression: "What are you doing? Who gave you the courage..."
"Shut up!" The leading military official turned his head and scolded the Yamen Guard who made a sound, and then glanced at the head catcher in warning.
When he turned back, he "tsk" impatiently, and his already fierce face looked even more terrifying.
His eyes swept over the helpless middle-aged man, the frightened and angry old man, and the wailing old woman, "Let's go."
After the words fell, he took the lead and walked out directly. The remaining military officials looked at each other and followed behind him.
For a while, only the farmer's family and a group of government guards were left in the house.
The catcher gritted his teeth, and he vaguely understood something from the reactions of the three people. He waved his hand and left directly with the Yamen Guards.
After the group of people left, the three of them collapsed directly on the ground, their heads dripping with sweat.
At this time, the door inside was quietly opened, and a woman held her child in her arms and carefully observed the situation outside. After seeing that everyone was gone, she quickly ran out.
"Husband, father-in-law, mother-in-law, are you okay?"
The middle-aged man waved his hand, "It's okay."
It turned out that the woman and child had been hidden in the room on purpose.
After the military officials and government guards left, they visited several farmers' households, but no one dared to speak.
An old man living alone sighed, "You don't have to waste your efforts. It's useless. Someone came here yesterday to explain that if anyone dares to leak any information, no one in Cuijia Village will be spared."
"Are they from the Yao family?" the leading military official asked with a cold face.
The old man waved his hand and walked into the house with a cane, "This old man doesn't dare to say it. It would be fine if he was the only one, but this is related to the lives of hundreds of people in Cuijia Village. The old man doesn't dare to say this."
The military officer took a deep breath and did not press any further, knowing that it would be impossible to find a witness today.
"Go back."
…
"Bang!" After Chu Xiao heard the military official's report, he was so frightened and angry that he dropped the teacup in his hand to the ground.
"It doesn't make sense! It doesn't make sense!"
Chu Xiao was so angry that his hands were trembling, "They are simply lawless! How can these people transfer His Majesty and General to His Highness and take the laws of Zhao State in their eyes?!"
Although he knew that this matter would not go smoothly, Chu Xiao never thought that these people were so bold!
He actually threatened them with the lives of the entire Cuijia Village!
The military official did not dare to speak and stood quietly with his head lowered.
The Fu Yin sitting next to him quietly breathed a sigh of relief, sighed, and comforted him: "Master Chu, please don't get too angry."
"We'll just think of another way."
Chu Xiao stood calmly for a while, came back to his senses, and quickly discovered something was wrong, "The old man was talking about yesterday? But I remember that His Highness the Crown Prince specifically asked not to leak this news."
"Except for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Cui Nong who beats the drum to voice the grievances, my officials, the people in the government office, and the Master Monk, no one should know about it."
As soon as these words came out, Chu Xiao himself was stunned.
Too many people.
A person from the government office, he was sent to assist the government official. Although he never stated what the case was, it would inevitably attract people's attention.
There are indeed quite a few people who know about it. Although His Highness the Crown Prince has issued an order not to allow the news to spread outside, there are so many people talking about it that it is inevitable that it will spread out.
But Chu Xiao always felt that something was wrong.
"Master Chu." Fu Yin also thought of this and felt even more confident. "With so many people knowing about this, it is probably inevitable that the Yao family will get the news."
"Besides, this Cui Nong may also be lying."
Fu Yin rolled his eyes and said, "We can't just believe whatever Cui Nong says, right?"
Chu Xiao glanced at Fu Yin coldly, "It may be inevitable that the Yao family received the news, but did they know it too quickly?"
It always takes time for news to spread. As a result, the Yao family reacted to what happened yesterday and sent people to deal with the aftermath.
As for Fu Yin's last two sentences, Chu Xiao simply ignored them.
The governor choked up, "Having said that, there is no evidence at all, so we can't make a conclusion."
Hearing this, Chu Xiao closed his eyes. Although he didn't like the governor, what he said was right. Now they don't have any evidence, and they can't even put Yao Qiran in jail temporarily.
Without sufficient reasons and evidence, it is impossible to take Yao Chiran away from the Yao family. As a result, it may be difficult to take action against Yao Chiran.
Different from Chu Xiao's distress, Yao Chengyu was extremely proud after learning that the people from the Ministry of Punishment and the government office had returned without success in Cuijia Village.
"Hahaha, I want to see what evidence they can have to accuse my Yao family."
Yao Chengyu rubbed the jade ring on his finger with a very happy expression.
"Remember to send someone to keep an eye on them carefully. If anyone in Cuijia Village dares to think about talking, we will deal with them immediately."
"yes."
"Hmph." Yao Chengyu snorted coldly, "Whether it's Chu Xiao or His Royal Highness, what if they want to touch my Yao family again? There is no physical evidence, and now there is no human evidence. Cui Nong's case is abandoned."
"If you want to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, you have to see if your highness has the ability to kill the chicken."
Yao Chengyu slapped the table, and the jade ring finger collided with the table, making a crisp sound.
Because of the silence of the people in Cuijia Village and Cui Nong's lack of convincing evidence, the whole case hit a bottleneck right from the beginning.
