Chapter 129 Try to Touch Him
The next day, by taking advantage of the convenience of delivering food to them, Lu Songli received news from her father, saying that he had secretly spread the rumors. He also said that the fourth prince should talk to her in the next two days, so that she could be prepared.
After reading it, she stuffed the note back into the steamed bun and handed the steamed bun to Qin Sheng beside her.
Qin Sheng glanced at the 'sandwich' steamed bun and then looked at her.
Lu Songli raised her chin slightly toward him.
Qin Sheng reached out to take the half-eaten bun from her, took a big bite, half of the bun in his hand was gone, and then chewed it expressionlessly. His glance just now was actually curious about how she found the spy among the pile of steamed buns, not rejection.
Satisfied, Lu Songli picked up another steamed bun and started eating it. If it weren't for Qin Sheng, she would have swallowed this 'sandwich' bun without changing her expression. But if he is there, let him come.
The interaction between this young couple fell in the eyes of several elders of the Qin family, and they couldn't help but smile a little. Coupled with the hope in their hearts, at this moment, their hearts were relaxed and not as heavy as they imagined, except for worrying and missing Qin Yan and others in the north.
This is mainly because with the help of the Lu family, their prison life is not that hard. The food and drink are at least clean. They also knew that the Lu family must have provided a lot of money, and they were very grateful.
Qin Heng looked around and asked in a low voice, "Sixth brother and sister, is everything going well?"
Lu Songli made a smooth gesture.
"If you don't have enough manpower, just say so. Our Qin family still has some manpower outside that can be mobilized."
"Big brother and third brother, don't worry, it'll be okay. I believe we can go out in a few days." Three days, Lu Songli thought to herself. They are definitely not the ones who are anxious now. Aren't the fourth princes anxious?
At this moment, Wu Chunyu and Dali Temple Prime Minister Meng Xinliang walked side by side, followed by an official in official uniform, walking straight towards the Qin family's cell. They didn't pay any attention to the cries of injustice from the prisoners on both sides. They knew at a glance that the person coming was evil.
Mrs. Qin gathered her two older granddaughters close to her, and Nie Yunniang also nervously held her daughter in her arms.
On the male side of the Qin family, Qin Heng stepped forward. Qin Zhao, the third brother of Qin, was about to follow, but Qin Sheng pushed his two nephews to him, and he followed.
Lu Songli frowned slightly. Meng Xinliang, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, was from the Xie clan. The current Minister of Dali Temple was Yao Wensong. After the Xie clan lost the Minister of Dali Temple, they pushed Meng Xinliang to become the Prime Minister of Dali Temple. Bit. Looking at it now, is Yao Wensong, the minister of Dali Temple, not here?
Wu Chunyu was the first to say, "Qin Heng, I have found out that your Qin family used Qin Sheng's wedding to hide a large amount of wealth. I advise you to confess honestly and don't make the same mistake again and again. "
Zhao Wenkuan was right, the Qin family most likely hid a large sum of money. That number is by no means more than one-fifth of the total ledger.
You know, the Qin family still has trophies seized during the war. This part of the property is difficult to estimate, but what he found was only a small amount of gold, silver and jewelry. The key is that the quality is very average.
If the Qin family can be forced to take out this hidden property, and when the new emperor officially ascends the throne and rewards for his merits, he will not worry about being promoted. Moreover, this opportunity came just right, but it was too late. After the merit-based rewards were over, even if he tried to pry open the Qin family's mouth, it would be useless.
Qin Heng said warmly, "Master Wu has already found out and can take it for himself, why bother to ask us?" Want to deceive him? hehe.
Next, no matter how the other party asked, Qin Heng was convinced that all the Qin family's money was in the Qin Mansion.
Seeing that the Qin family was so helpless, Wu Chunyu and Meng Xinliang decided to torture them and see if they could be forced out.
For this reason, they specially asked people to clear out the cell next door, and now it has been equipped with various torture instruments.
"Qin Heng, Qin Zhao, Qin Sheng, we are here well prepared this time, so don't resist stubbornly."
Lu Songli couldn't help but said, "Master Wu, Master Meng, by saying you came prepared, do you mean you just surrendered to attack? What's more, are you taking people's lives indiscriminately?"
"As long as you quickly explain where the money has been hidden, you can avoid the pain of skin and flesh."
The three brothers of the Qin family had serious expressions on their faces. It looked like they were very likely to suffer physical pain.
"If you use such a severe punishment and kill someone, can you afford it?"
Wu Chunyu asked back, "The Qin family took something that didn't belong to them and refused to explain it. Why shouldn't we use torture? Even if they die, they are just criminals."
"You are really trying to inflict crimes, so why bother!" Lu Songli said sarcastically. She didn't believe that Qin Heng would leave such an obvious clue. In this situation, it is very likely that the Xie family wants to embarrass the Qin family!
Her words did not give Wu Chunyu, Meng Xinliang and others any face at all, which made them very embarrassed.
"What are you talking about with her? Get started!" Meng Xinliang ordered the jailer to open the cell door and prepare to let people in to get the person.
Qin Sheng stepped forward and protected Qin Heng behind him.
Several burly government officials suddenly entered the men's prison. Qin Sheng went from protecting Qin Heng to protecting his two nephews in the back.
These government officials did not respect martial ethics. After discovering that the three grown men of the Qin family were a tough nut to crack, they attacked the two children.
The three brothers of the Qin family were restrained for some reason and did not dare to really hurt the government officials.
Meng Xinliang and Wu Chunyu were furious when they saw the scene before them, "Qin Heng, how dare you resist? Do you want to rebel?"
Lu Songli got angry when she heard that. If they want to rebel, the first thing they will do is kill you two. Believe it or not!
Later, Meng Xinliang arranged for the yamen to go in with a red-hot iron.
Seeing this, Qin Sheng stepped forward quickly. He was the best among the three brothers. If his eldest brother and the third brother were allowed to fight with each other, they might be injured.
As soon as she saw this, she quickly shouted, "Stop!"
But no one paid any attention to her.
Lu Songli was furious. She took out something from her arms and threw it at Meng Xinliang who was closest to her. "Meng Xinliang, Wu Chunyu, if you dare to touch him, open your dog eyes and see clearly." What is it?”
A death-free gold medal? !
But isn’t this thing in Lu Desheng’s hands?
Meng Xinliang and Wu Chunyu looked at each other in confusion.
"Why don't you tell them to stop quickly?!" Lu Songli yelled.
"Stop!" Following the two men's orders, the officers came out of the prison one after another, holding the injured area. They also breathed a sigh of relief. The three brothers of the Qin family were really tough, and it was really difficult to fight with them. .
Lu Songli breathed a sigh of relief. She was holding the death-free medal to guard against this moment.
Appropriate suffering will make people grow, but extreme suffering will distort a person's mind and character, commonly known as blackening. Take Zhao Bin for example, because the suffering he endured was added up layer by layer, and eventually became too heavy for him to bear, but no one could help him or pull him up, and he finally collapsed and became a useless person.
Qin Sheng had recently endured the death of his fourth brother, for which he was already blaming himself, and then the death of his father, and then his family was confiscated and sent to prison and exiled. All the piles were pressing down on him. If nothing else, you could tell the torment in his heart just by looking at the empty look on his clothes. If he was asked to watch his elder brother being tortured again, she didn't know whether he could bear it.
Bang bang bang——
As three rounds of applause rang out, before anyone could react, a person walked out from the corner. This person was none other than the Fourth Prince Song Mo. He was followed by a group of people, including Yao Wensong, who Lu Songli thought was not in Dali Temple.
"This prison is really lively." Song Mo said with a smile.
Qin Sheng pursed his lips. He had noticed someone there just now.
Lu Songli also smiled and replied, "Compared to the palace, it may be worse."
"How dare you not meet with His Highness the Fourth Prince?!" Yao Wensong shouted softly.
Everyone seemed to have just come to their senses and knelt down one after another, "I have met His Highness the Fourth Highness."
"Don't you want to see His Highness? Let's go." Song Mo didn't waste any time. After saying this, he walked out.
"Wait a minute." Lu Songli quickly went back and took out a pile of information from the old mattress before following.
Qin Sheng and others wanted to follow, but were stopped.
Lu Songli gave them a reassuring look before leaving.
Yao Wensong looked quite speechless. His prison was too lax. And how many things did the Lu family smuggle in for her?
He knew that the Lu family came to bring them food every day. He was grateful for Lu Desheng's recommendation, so he turned a blind eye. In addition, Sheng Huaixing seemed to have greeted Wang Yuan, but Let the Qin family sit comfortably in this prison, tsk.
