Chapter 189 Your name is Shen Zhiqiu?
The young general Ah Chi of Hei Kai frowned: "What are you arguing about? Speak one by one."
As a result, the second in command immediately responded:
"General, think about it. If he is not one of us, how can we feel at ease drinking the wine he brews? To be honest, my fourth brother is known as the most intelligent and resourceful person in the underworld. Don't be fooled!"
Shen Zhiqiu called everyone and asked them to bring out the household registration of each household, as well as the documents that showed that Mr. Shen used to be the village chief of Shenjia Village.
He also stood up to get the guarantee letters from several teachers when he took the imperial examination, as well as the documents of each nomination for the top spot.
As for his personal seal, don't underestimate this kind of seal. Only real scholars can use it. It is not something that can be engraved casually.
Unexpectedly, when he wasn't paying attention, a hand suddenly reached out from behind him and took something directly from the box.
The hand speed was so fast that he couldn't see it clearly.
Shen Zhiqiu was shocked to find that the young general Hei Kai was standing behind him at some point, holding the token left by his ancient father-in-law in his hand for inspection.
He was immediately frightened and broke into a cold sweat. How could he have forgotten this? The main reason was that he really didn't expect that the young general Hei Kai would follow him and walk to the bed where his daughter was lying.
These things are like a doctor's medicine box, and the household registration of every household. They carry them wherever they go, for fear that if they don't have a household registration when they get to the north, people will think they are not from a good background.
"This..." Without waiting for Shen Zhiqiu to get the token back, nor giving him a chance to explain, the young general took it away directly with a serious expression and anxious steps.
Shen Zhiqiu secretly cried out inwardly, "Oh no! He was so careless for a moment and something terrible is going to happen."
"Master, look."
When Shen Zhiqiu caught up, the token was already in the general's hands.
Young General Yin Kai raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Zhiqiu with a meaningful look: "Where did you come from?"
"I found it on the road."
He didn't dare to admit it. If he said something wrong, he would definitely be killed as a spy.
Young General Yin Kai stared at Shen Zhiqiu without blinking, without saying a word, but his eyes were very oppressive.
But Ah Chi sneered: "Oh, it's so easy to pick up, pick up another one for me and see, if you don't tell the truth, do you want us to use force?"
Shen Zhiqiu was regretting his decision so much now. He had been fleeing from famine for such a long time that he almost forgot about the token. Who could have thought that these things would happen today?
"Take it!"
"I said!"
The two voices sounded almost at the same time, and General Yin Kai raised his hand: "You don't have to say anything now, search!"
Ouch! This was bad, because he suddenly remembered that there was another letter in the box.
But at this time, all of them were pointed knives at them and had no chance to destroy it.
He was really regretting it at this moment. If he had known that such a thing would happen, he would never have dared to carry this thing with him!
At this moment, most people in Shenjia Village were actually confused. They didn't know how they were captured again. Only Li Quan and Shen Zhiqiu knew the seriousness of the matter. There was also Shen Youyou, who was in a coma and had not yet woken up.
The bandits also joined in the fun: "Yes, General, don't be fooled by them, they are also bandits, those things were not picked up, they must have been robbed!"
Although the bandits didn't know what the young general was asking, they couldn't help but want to make trouble!
Until someone found everything, including all the documents and the letter.
Shen Zhiqiu had not read the letter, but her daughter had read it and said that it did not say much, just a few words like "we can't meet again, I can't serve you anymore", and goodbye.
There wasn’t even a name written on it, but the token was found along with the letter, so I wonder if the general could have guessed anything.
Unexpectedly, the general knew more than him. After taking the letter, he raised his chin slightly towards his subordinates, and saw the little leader named A Chi took out a small porcelain bottle.
Shen Zhiqiu watched helplessly as he poured the potion in the bottle onto the letter, and dense handwriting slowly emerged.
"It's over, it's over," he cursed in his heart. Could it be that the method these ancient spies used to transmit messages was still the same?
His daughter had previously mocked others for not being rigorous in conveying information, and she had said that she would use such and such methods to write, and she had mentioned several such and such methods to him.
Unfortunately, his mind was on the road at that time and he didn't remember it.
Now, the ancient people also understood this, and they have no way to defend themselves on this matter.
Just when Shen Zhiqiu and Li Quan were in a state of confusion, just when they couldn't help but stand up and take responsibility for the letter and say that no one else knew, they were actually hesitant about whether to admit it or not.
The feeling is that even if they admitted it, the general might not believe it, because these bigwigs all believe that those who accomplish great things will not lose their integrity. There is even a saying: It is better to kill the wrong person than to let him go!
General Yin Kai raised his eyes and looked at Shen Zhiqiu: "Your name is Shen Zhiqiu?"
Shen Zhiqiu was sweating profusely, and the people present also felt that the atmosphere was not right. Even the noisy bandits became quiet and decided to see what was going on.
The second in command, who always had a good brain, felt that something big was going on here. It was possible that those people were spies, and perhaps they would be spared because they had stumbled upon them by accident.
At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten that he had just admitted with his own mouth that Shen Zhiqiu was his fourth brother. If Shen Zhiqiu was a spy, then who was he?
At this moment, the young general Yin Kai's eyes really drifted towards the group of bandits. Ah Chi immediately understood and stepped forward to kick the second in command at the edge: "Did you just say that you are sworn brothers with him? Huh?"
The eldest boss was no fool and shook his head immediately. Only the third boss shouted, "Yes, he is our fourth brother!"
At the same time, the second in command shook his head like a rattle: "Sir, no, we are not brothers, we were also deceived by him,
Just now, I just said that because I saw that they were fine. He has only been in the village for a month. We just said that because he brews good wine.
He only verbally said that he was the fourth in command, but in fact he had gone to the village and had been making wine, so we didn’t have much contact with him.”
Wow, the speed of clarification is even faster than the slander.
Unexpectedly, Ah Chi nodded and continued to ask: "You are bandits, are you not in the same group with them?"
The three leaders were stunned by this statement. Of course they couldn't say that they were with that group of people, as they saw that they were in a bigger situation.
But it seems that admitting that they are bandits is not a good thing. The key is that they have no way to deny it because they have revealed their identities before.
"Engrave the words and take them away!"
General Yin Kai was obviously in no mood to wait for their answer. With just a few words, the bandits were pulled up from the ground one by one by the soldiers.
"General, please spare us! We are refugees and had no choice but to go up the mountain! General, please spare us!"
"Yes, General. If we don't go up the mountain to be bandits, we have to hand over our families. We really have no food or water, and nowhere to go, so we go up the mountain!"
All of a sudden, all the bandits, whether they were refugees who came later or bandits who came earlier, cried out for mercy.
