This time, the subordinate did not need to give orders to Mu Qing, so he just said.
"Me, those people asked me to come and cause trouble for you. They said that if you don't investigate, I will have food to eat."
"Are you willing to live in poverty for ten years without an official position?" Fang Wu asked.
"What can I do? Who has cared about me in the past few years? My family members have left, and I have kept filial piety for three years. I have been away from the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs for many years, but those people are either playing ball or procrastinating." Huang Zhong almost asked.
The way.
The subordinate kicked Huang Zhong in the mouth and said, "Speak carefully."
The bright red lips were immediately stained by some mud, and the yellow footprints on the white and tender skin complemented the hair submerged in the mud.
"Cough cough cough." Huang Zhong coughed several times, and a bloody tooth was spit out from his mouth.
It's just a kick or a tooth, which shows the strength and cruelty of his subordinates.
Fang Wu shuddered at the sight and continued to ask: "Who are those people?"
"I'm an official of Da Man. Sooner or later, Da Man will be eaten by these moths..." Before he could finish his sentence, the subordinate kicked him again,
This time, the soil on his lips was covered with blood, and several teeth were spit out and mixed into the soil. The man's pupils were somewhat dilated, which made people feel that his life was not long.
"lighter."
Fang Wu didn't need to say anything, Mu Qing kicked the subordinate's butt again and ordered.
"Hiss." The subordinate wailed subconsciously, but before he could finish his voice, he was kicked by Mu Qing again, and the subordinate quickly silenced him.
Fang Wu ignored the dispute between the two people and continued to ask: "Where did you see them last time?"
"Yes, in a courtyard to the east." Huang Zhong said intermittently, speaking with a breathless voice, as if he might die at any moment.
"Take us there." The subordinate put his feet away and pulled the person up.
The man looked like he had no bones. He was pulled by his subordinates and swayed in the air, with only his toes pointing on the ground.
"I don't remember clearly. The roads here are all the same. I only know it's on the east side." Huang Zhong said.
The subordinate was about to slap Huang Zhong, but Mu Qing stopped him, "If you kill someone, I will kill you."
Mu Qing said it bluntly and domineeringly. These words made his subordinates stunned for a moment, and they obviously lost their strength and did not dare to take action anymore.
He knew very well that Mu Qing could kill him if he wanted to. Mu Qing and the others at least had their names in front of Tan Sihan, and they did not exist at all to Tan Sihan.
"Let's go." The subordinate said, grabbing the man's arm.
Half of the man's body was drooping on the ground, and he would eat a mouthful of mud whenever he spoke, but he still pushed forward with his hands.
A few people walked to the east without hesitation. The further inside, the more they could see long-term workers in twos and threes. Not far away there were supervisors with sticks, all looking at Fang Wu and his party with serious faces.
But seeing the huge number of people in the group, they didn't dare to make any move.
After all, Fang Wu and his party included not only Tan Sihan's people, but also government officials. They had killing sticks in their hands.
There are many people on this road, with swords and sticks in hand, and dragging a person with them. No matter how you look at it, it cannot be underestimated.
Originally some supervisors were about to step forward, but someone secretly stopped them and allowed Fang Wu and others to pass through the fields like this.
There were not many people in the field at this season, but they were not lazy. A few people were not moving very fast, but the road was not long, and it did not take long to walk there.
Within a quarter of an hour, I saw a row of square courtyards with wooden doors, all of which were tightly closed.
Huang Zhong, who was dragged by his subordinates, had long lost his original appearance. His clothes were in tatters, and even his skin had some scratches. Some blood could be seen. He stopped there.
A pair of eyes moved around, but the hand on the ground did not move forward.
It seems like there is no road ahead, but in fact the road is not broken.
"Which room?" Fang Wu looked at it carefully and asked.
"It seems that we have to go inside, and it seems that these are the only ones." Huang Zhong said something that he could not imitate.
Several people looked at each other,
"When did you last see him? Day or night."
"Dark night."
"I was blindfolded and brought here. When I went back, I was sent out by a man and I saw something in the dark." Huang Zhong said.
"What did they ask you to do before?"
"Keeping accounts, running errands, and looking after the long-term workers." Huang Zhong sat on the ground and answered questions one by one.
Some Fang Wu heard about it, and some Bai An asked about it.
"Who cares about you?" Fang Wu asked. She wanted to know whether she was on Ren Ye's side or Xu Kun's side.
"A man named Ren, but I haven't seen him for a long time." Huang Zhong said.
Hearing this,
Several people have made a distinction. This person should have the same role as Changzi, but they don't know who has more weight.
"Do you know Chang Zi?" Fang Wu added: "Ren Ye calls him Chang Zi."
Huang Zhong shook his head, it seemed like he was not telling lies again.
In fact, this is normal. After all, the land is very large and there are not just one or two supervisors.
These two people are both good people under Ren Ye, but one is from the east and the other is from the west. Naturally, they don’t know each other.
We may have passed each other by chance, but we're just not familiar with each other anymore.
"Take him back." Fang Wu stopped asking.
Mu Qing ordered three of the government officials.
Zhang Xuan also nodded, and the three government officials pushed Huang Zhong towards the ruined temple.
"Knock on the door." Fang Wudao said, she had already walked to a wooden door and started knocking on it.
The first, second, and third rooms were all empty and empty.
There was a fourth room. The person who opened the door was an old lady in her 70s or 80s, leaning on a walking stick and looking at a few people: "Children, are you okay?"
She asked casually, but there was no kindness in her eyes, and she could even see that she was on guard.
"I have something to ask my aunt."
Fang Wu smiled sweetly: "Auntie, do you live alone?"
"My son and I are working in the fields." The aunt was not very interested.
Fang Wu glanced into the yard and saw that it was clean. There were one or two broken bowls on the table in the yard. He could tell that the table had been used for several years.
There is no other furniture, not even a stool,
"Just the two of you?"
The aunt nodded,
"We have no land to sell and no grain to buy." The aunt continued as Fang Wu looked around but said nothing.
These words seemed familiar to several people.
They shook their heads and said: "We are here to investigate the case. We don't want to buy land or sell food."
The aunt nodded, but it was obvious that she was dubious.
"When will your son get off work?" Mu Qing asked.
"He will be back at about the same time." The aunt gave an inaccurate answer.
"Can we go in and sit down?" he continued.
"Brother Qing, do you have any questions?" a subordinate asked.
There was a hint of confusion in his words, with a bit of respect.
"Shut up." Mu Qing said without replying. He stared at the aunt with empty eyes, and the aunt nodded numbly.
Fang Wu also walked in and waited for the aunt to close the door.
Fang Wucai asked Mu Qing: "What does this mean?"
"Wait, wait until her son comes back and ask again. There are only two families here." Mu Qing continued.
