Chapter 141 Threatened

No matter how stupid Wu Ziye was, he should have understood something from Zhou's mother's words.

But after all, he didn't hear that word with his own ears, and he still didn't want to believe it.

And because Zhou's mother fainted, he had to let go of his doubts first, and hurriedly called Su Ran to check Zhou's mother.

Su Ran felt Zhou's mother's pulse, and found that she had been too much stimulated recently, and her body couldn't take it for a while, so she passed out from grief.

She wanted Wu Ziye and Lu Qingyan to help Zhou's mother to her room.

Let Mother Zhou take a good rest.

Lu Qingyan suddenly turned around and left.

Help others?
Except for the woman who could support his wife, he didn't want to touch any other women.

Even an old lady, he would not!

And he didn't go out to avoid suspicion or to wander around.

It was because he was going to interrogate the servant he had caught this morning.

I don't know where the bamboo forest is.

Lu Qingyan's vigorous figure shuttled through the bamboo forest, and there was a small bamboo courtyard deep in the bamboo forest.

It is said that this is a small bamboo courtyard, but it is actually not small.

From the outside, it looks like the bamboo courtyard has an area of ​​at least four to five hundred square meters.

The entrance of the bamboo courtyard is a fence made of bamboo, and Lu Qingyan walked in through the entrance.

The entrance is a cobblestone path about ten meters long, and at the end of the road is a tall bamboo house with three floors.

There were two guards dressed in black outside the bamboo house. When the guards saw Lu Qingyan walking in, they had already knelt down to salute.

Lu Qingyan responded lightly, "Yes", and walked in with no expression on his face.

Inside the bamboo house, the entrance is the main hall. Si Heng and several men also dressed in dark guards also respectfully saluted Lu Qingyan.

Lu Qingyan asked indifferently, "Where's the person?"

Si Heng immediately took him to the dungeon of the bamboo house.

Yes, there is a side hall next to the main hall, and there is a secret room under the ground in the side hall.

And this secret room is exactly the dungeon of this bamboo house.

Lu Qingyan and Si Heng went into the dungeon, where the little servant was being imprisoned.

Little did they know what specific craftsmanship was used to make this bamboo courtyard, but it wasn't damp at all.

Si Heng opened the door of the dungeon where the little servant was imprisoned.

Inside the dungeon.

The little domestic servant was tied to a cross by an iron chain, and his eyes were covered with a black cloth, so he could not see anything but hear movement.

He drooped his head and looked as if he had fallen asleep.

But when he heard Lu Qingyan's footsteps walking in, he immediately raised his head again.

His voice is a little weak and hoarse, and his lips are extremely dry, which should be the reason why he hasn't been in water for a long time.

He kept shouting that he was wronged.

Lu Qingyan thought he was noisy, so he reprimanded him coldly, "Shut up!"

Although he couldn't see Lu Qingyan himself, his voice was so cold that it made people shudder inexplicably.

The little servant immediately shut his mouth when he heard the sound.

Lu Qingyan asked interrogatively, "Who sent you to poison Zhou Qi?"

The little servant was so frightened that he drooped his head again, and didn't reply for a long time.

Play dead!

However, he was not scared by Lu Qingyan, but by Master Chen.

Master Chen has said that if he is discovered and he dares to expose him, he will kill all his family members.

Think about him having a 60-year-old father and mother, a young wife and a pair of children who are no more than five years old.

For the sake of his family, he dared not.

Lu Qingyan glanced at Si Heng next to him, Si Heng immediately understood what was going on, nodded slightly at him and walked out.

Not long after, Si Heng came back with a young woman.

The young woman followed behind Si Heng timidly, as if she didn't dare to take a breath.

But when he saw the little servant who was being tied up in the dungeon, he immediately ran over anxiously.

She hugged the little servant, her voice was stained with crying and she said anxiously, "Master, what's wrong with you, Mr. Don't scare me."

The little servant recognized that it was his daughter-in-law's voice, so he paused.

Then, he seemed to be resurrected with full blood in an instant, and while calling his wife's name, he instinctively wanted to break free from the iron chains that bound him to protect his wife.

But after all, there is more than enough heart and not enough strength.

Si Heng came over and tore off the black tape covering the little servant's eyes.

The little servant saw his daughter-in-law.

He wanted to ask his wife why she was here, but out of the corner of his eye he suddenly caught sight of Lu Qingyan who was standing not far away.

He was taken aback.

A timid voice blurted out, "You, are you Lu Xiucai?"

When the magistrate interrogated Zhou Qi, Lu Qingyan and Wu Ziye both appeared, and the little servant was also there.

Therefore, he recognized Lu Qingyan.

Lu Qingyan didn't deny or admit it, but repeated the question just now.

The little servant looked at his daughter-in-law, and then at Lu Qingyan with some hesitation.

Seeing that he had been silent, Si Heng asked, "Still worried about the threat from the Chen family?"

The little servant trembled when he asked this question.

He raised his head and asked in a trembling voice, "How about me, my family, them, them?"

Si Heng, "Don't worry, they are all placed in a very safe place now, but..."

As he spoke, Si Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, and continued in a calmer voice:

"But if you continue to be stubborn, don't blame me for keeping them from seeing the sun tomorrow!"

Si Heng only said two short sentences, but the little servant was frightened into a cold sweat.

He said tremblingly, "I said, I said."

After that, he told everything about Master Chen asking him to poison Zhou Qi.

But Lu Qingyan had already guessed this point.

He looked at the little servant with cold eyes, and asked, "Are you sure that's all there is?"

The little domestic servant trembled again when asked.

He is a servant of the Chen family, and even a person close to Mr. Chen.

Being sent out to do things by Master Chen is indeed easy to be discovered, so he did not hide the fact that Master Chen asked him to poison Zhou Qi.

He thought it was over.

He didn't want to talk about other things, but who would have thought that Lu Qingyan would ask again.

But... what?
He was a little afraid to say it.

He fell silent again.

In other words, Lu Qingyan actually wanted to bluff him by asking him this question.

Test whether he knows other things, after all, he is from the Chen family.

But who would have thought that he would really be cheated out of something.

But look at the little domestic servant's appearance at the moment as if he was lost in thought again.

Lu Qingyan knew that he was threatened not only by Master Chen, but also by other people.

He said, "If you don't tell me, I will kill you too, but if you do, I guarantee that your family will be fine!"

Lu Qingyan's words gave the little servant an inexplicable sense of support.

He frowned slightly, and looked down at his wife, as if he wanted to ask her for her opinion, whether he should say it or not.

The daughter-in-law nodded to him.

He finally worked up his courage and said, "I say!"

Then, just listen to him say...

"A few days ago was my second son's birthday. I was ordered by the housekeeper to go to the cloth village to invite the eldest master home for a drink."

"The eldest young master has been living in the cloth village, so I went too, but when I arrived at the cloth village, I found that the cloth village was closed."

"I just want to knock on the door and try. Even if all the cloth villages of our Chen family are not open, there will still be people on duty in the village."

"But just as I was about to knock on the door, I suddenly heard the voice of the young master coming from the cloth village."

Speaking of this, the little servant's face suddenly became a little frightened.

He choked his breath, and continued:
"Master, he..."
