Chapter 140
The men searching for King Dai and Lan Hui found nothing, and returned to apologize to Feng Tai. Feng Tai took them to submit the transcript of the question to check, and turned several copies, and his eyes were set on a certain page.
"Have you ever searched this woman named Cai Huang's house?"
Several guards were stunned.
Feng Taili looked like a fool: "Idiot! A woman lives in a remote place on the edge of the village. She was knocked on the door late at night. She dared to open the door to answer. She faced several official guards, but she was still quick-talking and meticulous in her words. How could she be an ordinary woman?!"
Several guards kowtowed and repeatedly apologized.
Feng Tai said coldly: "I know the suspicious point, I understand the doubts. You don't interrogate or search. I'll be in vain to alert the snake. What's the use of apologizing? Come and prepare a carriage and horse, and go with our mansion!"
Lan Hui felt a little wet and shuddered. He opened his eyes again and saw an enlarged face. He exclaimed that the cloth in his mouth was choked in his throat.
The girl Amaranth held the water scoop and looked down at him: "Awaken? I took some water and food. If you are good, I will untie the rope on your hand and let you eat it."
Lan Hui rolled her eyes and looked around.
He seemed not to be in the cottage before, with wooden boards on both sides, piles of grass and firewood. He was sitting against the board, and King Dai was right opposite him, grinning at him with a cloth mouth. He and King Dai were both fixed to the wall by the waist, with iron chains tied to his feet, and his hands were tied with ropes.
Lan Hui shook his head. He only remembered that he had heard someone slapping the door before. He felt that it might be someone sent by his father or the court to find him and King Dai. King Dai also bumped behind him a few times, but the door of the cottage opened. Aunt Cai came in and stuffed something into his mouth, and then he knew nothing.
There was sunlight falling on him, and he looked up at the top of his head. There were also wooden boards on it, and the sunlight leaked from the gaps in the wooden boards. Amaranth said with a straight face: "Don't think about running, you can't get the chain away. There is no one to save you even if you shout out loud in this place, do you know?"
Lan Hui looked at her again. The book said that a hero should not suffer any loss before his eyes, but should know how to deal with bad people. He nodded.
Amaranth snorted, unbuttoned the rope from his hand, threw a cake on him, and placed the scoop at his feet.
Lan Hui took off the cloth from her mouth and picked up the cake.
The cake is made of mixed grain noodles, yellow and black. Amaranth said, "Don't look, don't worry, it's not poisonous. It won't be this time if you want to poison it."
King Dai's mouth was filled with cloth and let out a muffled sneer.
Lan Hui hesitated for a moment and carefully took a bite of the corner of the cake.
The cake was cold and a little hard, but the taste was very novel and a little sweet. Lan Hui took another bite, and Amaranth said again: "Don't choke, you can drink some water smoothly."
The water in the scoop was also cold. Lan Hui took a sip and tried hard to swallow it. Amaranth lifted a basket of cloth on the ground and took out a round wooden box.
"Okay OK OK, I won't tease you anymore. Now."
She brought out a bowl of white rice porridge from the box, which was still warm.
Lan Hui grabbed the cake and shook her head: "I will be full after eating this, please give it to Brother Wuming."
King Dai made another ummy sound, and his tone was very disdainful. Amaranth said, "I gave him this cake first. He didn't eat it and kicked it with his feet before I gave it to you. It seems that he is not hungry, so you can eat it all."
Lan Hui suddenly felt a little disgusted. He looked at Amaranth and said seriously and solemnly: "May I ask, Lingtang and Miss, what do you want to do to our brothers?"
Amaranth clapped his hands: "Let you not follow me, you are not willing to regret it now. What kind of children are you from the official family?"
Lan Hui said: "Someone came to us last night, right?"
Amaranth leaned closer and stared at him tightly: "Tell me, who is the child of someone else?"
Her eyes were close to her, and Lan Hui could see her own shadow, as well as some faint spots on the tip of amaranth nose. He couldn't help but avoid it, and silently read in his heart to teach in his studies - confront the hostilities, and never panic.
"Please tell me first what you are going to do."
King Dai made another ummy sound. Amaranth stood up and took out the cloth from his mouth: "The little devil refused to say, do you want to tell me who are you?"
King Dai laughed several times: "I will not change my name or change my surname. Lang Wuming is a village girl, don't think that if you tie my brothers up, you can have gold and silver, wait for the whole family to be executed. I heard someone coming to search before. If you move my brothers and you will be found sooner or later."
Lan Hui followed and said, "Girl, this is true. As long as you commit a crime, you will leave traces and follow the traces. The truth will be revealed sooner or later. The national law is ruthless. Can you let us go? This is called turning back."
Amaranth turned to look at him, and King Dai laughed again: "Little Shadow, don't beg for mercy to throw me away! I'm so familiar with drugging and tying people, and there are ropes and chains in the dark room. This is definitely not the first time the village girl and her mother have done such a thing. Village girl, how many people have you harmed before?"
Amaranth blurted out and said, "Nonsense, my mother is not such a person! My mother is the best. She will treat the little rabbit if it is injured. It must be that you two little ghosts have a problem!"
King Dai laughed again: "This is really the funny thing I have heard in the past two days. I was careless for a moment, thinking that you said that your black store sells human meat buns is a joke. If you are trapped in this, I am not afraid of it. Don't pretend to be a snake or a scorpion girl. If you are a little white rabbit, do you go to the pot? Is it a scent of rabbit meat or a human meat?"
Amaranth covered the cloth into his mouth: "Anyway, your meat must be smelly! No flies will eat it!"
She picked up the basket on the ground, covered it with a bunch of grass, carried the lamp up the wooden ladder, pushed a cover open, and after climbing out, she pulled out the ladder.
Bang, the cover closed, and then the gap that leaked the sunlight was blocked, and Lan Hui's surroundings fell into darkness again.
Feng Tai led his men to Cai Huang's house. There was no one inside, and only a dog was barking in the backyard. The constable and the guards broke into the door. The constables checked the bedrooms of the main hall. Feng Tai and the guards took the guards to a brief turn in the house, and then went behind the house, first looked at the well, and then ordered to open the door of the wood-room.
In the cramped hut, debris were piled up and dust accumulated. Feng Tai glanced at the room: "It was just arranged here, it was too deliberate and it was backfired."
There are many dusts in the place where there is a lot of dust, but there must be people entering and leaving the firewood in the door and near the door. From the door to the firewood, there are dust accumulations that are the same as those in the place where the firewood is stationed, and there are not even a footprint.
This woman is a little stupid, but she knows how to cover it up and has the scheming. Something must have happened before here.
Feng Tai called someone to check the house carefully, and the constable had brought the village chief and Li Zheng.
The court has sent someone to send an order that the disappearance of King Dai is temporarily confidential. The case is only said to the public that the son of Lan Jue, the Minister of Rites. But for the township chief and Li Zheng, the disappearance of the Prince of Rites, the landlord of Rites is related to the land under his jurisdiction, which is enough to make the two of them tremble.
The two of them came to Feng Tai and immediately knelt on the ground.
Feng Tai cut off the bows and greetings from both of them.
"The case is urgent, get up and reply. I will report the origin of Cai Huang's family."
The township chief and Li Zheng were stunned at the same time, and looked at each other. The township chief said tremblingly: "Report to the prefect, the person living here is not the Cai Huang family."
Feng Tai's pupils shrank: "Isn't it a woman who lives here? I look at the furnishings in the house. She has a daughter."
