MTL - I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times-Chapter 348 Threatening and interrogating
Ning Chuyi frowned and asked Ling Chu, "You just mentioned Pingjicang..."
Halfway through her words, Ning Chuyi suddenly turned her head and looked towards the courtyard wall.
I happened to see a boy peeking out from the wall where Prime Minister Teng had been lying on his stomach, looking over. Seeing that he was discovered, he quickly retracted his head.
Ning Chuyi quickly jumped onto the wall and rushed towards the young man.
The boy slid down the ladder in fear while warning the guards in the distance.
As soon as the guard saw Ning Chuyi, his expression changed drastically and he ran away.
Wei Feng dropped Prime Minister Teng and climbed up the wall. Ning Chuyi and Yin Sha immediately went to arrest the guard.
Lingchu took Prime Minister Teng out of the side door of Zuo Shilang's house and walked around to the front door of his house.
The boy guarding the gate was confused when he saw Prime Minister Teng.
He didn't remember seeing the young master leaving the house, so why did he suddenly come in from the outside?
When Prime Minister Teng saw Ning Chuyi and others rushing into his house to arrest someone, he was worried about his mother, so he ignored the boy and rushed inside with his short legs.
The boy guarding the gate saw Ling Chu following Prime Minister Teng and was about to step forward to stop her, but he saw a group of guards behind her. The boy was so frightened that his legs were weak and he dared not stop anyone.
When Ling Chu followed Prime Minister Teng into the inner house, Ning Chuyi and his people had already controlled everyone in the house.
Prime Minister Teng saw that her clothes were disheveled and her bun was crooked. Next to her was his hated Uncle Li.
Immediately clenched his fists and rushed toward Li Yao with an angry cannonball, "You big bad guy, are you bullying my mother again? I'm going to kill you..."
Wu Meiniang was originally hanging out with Li Yao in the dormitory, but she was frightened to death by the Jin Yiwei who suddenly broke in through the door. He hurriedly put on his clothes and was caught in the yard.
I was feeling uneasy at this time. When I saw my son, I immediately wanted to rush towards him, "Xiang'er..."
But he was stopped by the Jin Yiwei, "Don't move."
While Teng Xiang was halfway through the rush, Wei Feng grabbed him by the collar and picked him up.
Li Yao, who was being held at knifepoint by two guards in golden robes, his face darkened.
Wu Meiniang shouted in panic, "Let go of my son, he is only five years old and doesn't understand anything. How can you be so shameless and take him as a hostage!"
Wei Feng sneered, holding Prime Minister Teng in one hand and pulling out the Xiuchun Dao in the other, "Jinyiwei is handling the case. Whatever we interrogate, you must answer honestly, otherwise..."
What else? Wei Feng didn't say anything, but shook the sharp Xiuchun knife.
Wu Meiniang's face turned pale. She was afraid of irritating Wei Feng, so she didn't dare to make any move at all.
This Wu Meiniang is Teng Chong's aunt, and her house is adjacent to Teng Chong's house. It's not certain that she will find out what happened last night.
Although it is indeed a bit excessive to threaten a child, they are actually ruthless Jin Yiwei. In order to find out what happened last night and give an explanation to the brothers who were killed, Wei Feng didn't mind being a villain.
Li Yao had two embroidered spring knives holding his neck, unable to move at all. He could only say with a sullen face, "It doesn't matter that you are Jin Yiwei. We stay in our own homes. How can you break in and arrest people for no reason?" "
Wei Feng almost couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, "Let's not talk about anything else. Just having an affair with Teng Chong's wife is enough to punish you."
Li Yao and Wu Meiniang's expressions changed. Outsiders didn't even know that Teng Chong had a foreign wife. Wu Meiniang only moved into this house half a year ago.
In order not to be caught by Teng Chong's principal wife, Wu Meiniang hardly went out on weekdays, and very few people had seen her. They did not expect that Jin Yiwei actually found out her identity.
Ling Chu glanced at Wei Feng and saw that although he had drawn the Xiuchun Dao, he did not kill Prime Minister Teng, so he knew that he was just taking him as a hostage.
Took Ning Chuyi and the others to the cellar.
In order to not attract attention to this house, Teng Chong arranged not many servants to serve him, and no one dared to stop him at this moment.
Li Yao's expression changed when he saw that Ning Chuyi and the others were going in the direction of the cellar. Although he wanted to stop them, he was stared at by a bunch of guards. He knew that he was no match for them.
After getting down from the cellar, Ning Chuyi quickly saw the seven or eight bags of tribute rice. The rice bags had the words Pingjicang on them.
Although Pingjicang is an official warehouse, the official grain inside is mainly used to provide relief to the people in years of famine. But tribute rice is usually stored in a special grain warehouse in the palace, and it is simply impossible to steal or exchange it.
Only before being transported to the palace, there is a chance for someone to manipulate the person.
But Teng Chong was not in charge of the warehouse, and he and the right minister of household affairs never dealt with each other. Moreover, even a grain of tribute rice was not found in his house, but there were seven or eight bags in his outer house.
This matter is a bit strange no matter how you think about it.
Ning Chuyi asked people to move all the rice out.
Wu Meiniang was panicked when she saw it. Although she didn't understand the affairs of the court, she also knew that these tribute rice were not something ordinary people could eat.
“To tell you the truth, where did you get these tribute rice?”
Wu Meiniang didn't say anything and looked at Li Yao subconsciously.
Li Yao pursed his lips and lowered his head in silence.
Wei Feng immediately shook the knife in his hand and threatened with a stern face, "If you don't want to say anything? Then I will chop off his hand."
Although Prime Minister Teng is a little bully, he has never seen such a scene before.
Seeing Wei Feng shaking the big knife fiercely, he screamed in fright, "Mother, mother, mother, please help me."
Wu Meiniang's face turned pale, "Xiang'er..., let my son go quickly."
Wu Meiniang cried so hard that Wei Feng remained unmoved, "If you don't want your son to be chopped down, just confess where you got these tribute rice."
Wu Meiniang opened her mouth, glanced at Li Yao, and closed her mouth again.
Wei Feng saw the two men's movements, sneered, and raised the knife in his hand.
Wu Meiniang's face changed drastically, and she finally couldn't help but say, "These rice were brought by Li Wewei."
Ning Chuyi looked at Li Yao and asked coldly, "Where did you get the tribute rice?"
Li Yao glanced at him, lowered his head and said nothing.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the two Jinyi guards beside him touched his neck with their knives, and blood immediately flowed down his neck.
When Prime Minister Teng saw the blood, he was so frightened that he cried loudly.
Not only did Wei Feng not stop, the knife in his hand also made a move to slash at his neck.
Wu Meiniang struggled wildly and shouted, "Wait a minute, don't kill my son."
Wei Feng stopped his hand, but did not take the knife back.
Although Wu Meiniang wanted to confess, she didn't know where Li Yao got the rice.
She once curiously asked about the origin of the rice, but Li Yao didn't tell her and told her not to ask questions that she shouldn't ask.
Wu Meiniang guessed that the rice came from an evil source. She usually hid it in the cellar and asked the cook to secretly cook it for her son.
Although the two houses were close to each other, Teng Chong didn't want his wife to know that he had an outside wife and didn't come to the house every day.
Wu Meiniang said to Li Yao with a white face, "Brother Li, Xiang'er is your son, do you want to die without saving him?"
