Chapter 442 Interrogation
"Master Song will know in a while, don't continue to say ridiculous things now."

Song Zhihe's eyes were cold, but he really didn't speak again. At this moment, he realized that he might have really missed something.

Soon, with the help of the yamen servants, all the burned warehouses were cleared out.

Ji Qingyue sent all the ash from the burning to the pond. The pond also needs to be raised, and the ash is also a kind of fertilizer.

"Father, I'll open it."

Ji Qingyue lifted her foot, walked to the middle of the warehouse, walked a few steps around, and after confirming the location, she squatted down, felt on the ground, and found an iron ring. She pulled it vigorously, and a heavy wooden board was pulled away. stand up.

The planks were covered with thick earth, no wonder no one noticed that there was a cellar here.

After the cellar door opened, a wooden staircase was revealed, Ji Qingyue turned around and said, "Prefect Fang, please."

"I'll lead the way." Ji Chenyuan stepped forward and pulled Ji Qingyue behind him, letting her stay on top, while he led Fang Zhifu, Song Zhihe, Xu County Magistrate and others down the wooden ladder.

A few people saw the piles of grain bags in front of them at a glance. The cellar was very large, and there were other vegetables, dried vegetables, garlic, peppers and other rural household products in it.

"How many grains are there?" Fang Zhifu asked with a smile.

Ji Chenyuan: "Twenty thousand catties."

When the county magistrate Xu heard this, he couldn't help but smile.

Song Zhihe's slightly squinted eyes flicked across the surrounding people, and finally understood what Fang Zhifu said just now, and now the plan this time has come to nothing again!
The members of Ji's family are more difficult to deal with than he imagined: "It means that the warehouse that was burned this time is empty? What a coincidence."

He sneered.

But at this time, no one wanted to pay attention to him. Song Zhihe had already exposed his villainous character. Fang Zhifu was an upstanding man throughout the holidays, with a straight personality, so he naturally looked down on people like him.

County Magistrate Xu's letter had already offended Song Zhihe. Based on his understanding of Song Zhihe, even if he took the initiative to apologize, he might not forgive him. Why should he befriend him again?

As for whether he will be put on small shoes, he is confident that not only will he not be reprimanded this time, but he will also have a chance of promotion.

It's just that Song Zhihe didn't know who was standing behind Ji's family this time, so he had the courage to keep targeting Ji's family.

Fang Zhifu didn't even turn his head: "This is a good thing, come here, weigh the rest of the food and take it away."

"Yes."

Soon some yamen servants continued to weigh, and Fang Zhifu took the rest back to the top.

"Didn't you just say something happened?"

Fang Zhifu's words were intended to interrogate the arsonist.

Ji Chenyuan turned his head and told Han Jiang: "Go and bring the arsonist and Mrs. Li over."

"Mr. Li?" Fang Zhifu only asked when he heard this strange address nearby.

Ji Chenyuan explained from the side: "Mr. Li is the woman who started a disturbance before the warehouse was burned, saying that she was trapped by a beast trap near our warehouse. At that time, because of this incident, many people's eyes were diverted. I have There are reasonable grounds to suspect that the other party is also an accomplice."

"Of course, this incident also happened at my house, and someone has already given Li's diagnosis and treatment."

Ji Chenyuan accompanied Fang Zhifu and others to sit directly in front of the warehouse, while Ji Qingyue followed to check on Li's situation.

She walked to the door of one of the servants and knocked first, and the person inside opened the door.

It is the person guarding Li Shi.

"Miss." The servant saluted Ji Qingyue.

"Have you checked with the doctor about Mrs. Li's situation?" Ji Qingyue approached and asked.

The boy nodded: "I've seen the doctor, but her legs..." The boy had a weird expression.

Ji Qingyue directly stretched out her hand to lift off the cloth covering Li Shi's leg, stretched out her hand to wipe it, and she instantly understood the reason for the boy's expression.

Ji Qingyue sneered, looking at Li Shi who fainted, she didn't know whether it was hatred or speechlessness.

"She took drugs?"

The servant hurriedly bowed and replied: "When the doctor came over, she was unwilling to cooperate and made a scene, so Director Han asked the doctor to knock her out before looking at her legs."

"I see."

Ji Qingyue reached out, took out a pill from her bosom, and fed it into Li Shi's mouth.

Li Shi only took a little drug, so he woke up soon.

When she opened her eyes and saw Ji Qingyue standing in front of her, for some reason, she shuddered suddenly:
"Ji Qingyue, are you trying to harm me?"

"I hurt you?" Ji Qingyue glanced at her: "I don't have that skill."

"Take it away." After giving the order, Ji Qingyue turned and walked out.

Apart from the guard guarding Li Shi, a middle-aged man soon came in, and the two of them grabbed Li Shi by one arm and took Li Shi out forcefully.

"Ji Qingyue, you little bitch, I'm an elder, it's fine if you don't respect me, you still want my life, ah, my legs, I've lost my conscience, help me."

"Gag her mouth." Ji Qingyue said mercilessly.

There was a humming sound coming from Shi Li's mouth behind him, Ji Qingyue waved her hand and asked his servants to take Li Shi to Fang Zhifu's side.

She walked up to the villagers and said loudly: "Everyone, uncles and aunts, Fang Zhifu intends to interrogate the arsonist this time in front. Everyone can come and have a look, but don't make noise."

"Qingyue, isn't your family suffering a serious loss this time?" Ji Zhou's family and others all came over. Before the magistrate didn't speak, they didn't dare to go there, so they could only wait outside.

The villagers discussed it for a while, but there was no conclusion.

Ji Qingyue came over and took Ji Zhou and others inside, and other villagers followed after seeing this.

"Auntie in the lobby, the situation is still serious, the whole warehouse is burned down."

"It's really a crime. I don't know who did it. It's devoid of conscience to destroy food. Doesn't it kill you?"

Ji Zhou patted his thigh and reprimanded angrily.

"Auntie in the lobby, please sit down first, the interrogation will begin soon."

After Ji Qingyue arranged them, she quickly walked behind Ji Chenyuan.

"Tear off the cloth from his mouth." Fang Zhifu ordered.

A yamen servant came forward and tore off the cloth strip from the mouth of the arsonist. The arsonist knelt down with a plop and begged for mercy loudly: "My lord, please forgive me. The villain did not set the fire. The villain was just wandering around to watch the excitement. How could he think about it?" , Miss Ji let the servants catch me without saying a word, the villain is wronged."

"The villain is wishing, please forgive me."

As the arsonist spoke, he kowtowed non-stop, his body trembling violently.

Ji Qingyue has been paying attention to the facial expression of the arsonist, and can see through his dodging eyes at a glance. Obviously, he is not innocent.

As for the arson thieves grabbing her, Ji Qingyue wasn't worried. With the prefect's character, he would definitely investigate and find out, so naturally she wouldn't be involved.

Ji Chenyuan was unhappy, and gave the fire thief a cold look: "You said that my daughter wronged you, so how can you explain the smell of kerosene on your hands?"
