Shaohua is Junqing

Chapter 136

Beitang Mo Ran followed Yin Qian Lan to the county prison.

"Bring the leader here." Yin Qianlan ordered the jailer.

The leader had been handcuffed and shackled, and was pushed by the jailer to Beitang Mo Ran.

"Peng Hu, right? The second in command of Longhu Village."

The other party did not respond and did not even raise his head.

"Tell me, who is the person behind this?"

Peng Hu still said nothing.

"Don't think that if you don't speak, I can't do anything to you."

"You call yourself the King, who are you?"

"The person in front of you is His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen, the uncle of the current emperor." Yin Qianlan revealed Beitang Mo Ran's identity at the right time.

"Prince Chen? Imperial uncle?" Peng Hu was extremely surprised.

He could guess that the person in front of him was of an extraordinary identity, but he did not expect that he was such a distinguished Prince Chen.

"I pay my respects to His Majesty the Prince of Chen."

"Let's skip these formalities and answer my question."

"This...this...I can't say it."

Beitang Mo Ran shot a sharp look at him, and Peng Hu shivered with fear, and hurriedly explained: "Although I am a bandit, I must be honest no matter what I do. I have received money from my employer, so I have to do things for him. I also promised my employer that I would never reveal my identity, so I can't say it."

"You are a real man. Since I cannot say it directly, I will ask you in a different way. You just need to nod or shake your head to answer. If you say anything untrue, I will not let you off easily. Do you understand?"

"The villain understands."

"Okay, first question: Is the employer a man?"

Peng Hu shook his head and said, "That means the employer is a woman." Peng Hu nodded.

"Second question: Is the employer an unmarried girl?" Peng Hu nodded.

"Was it one person when the employer came to negotiate with you?" Peng Hu shook his head. "Two people?" Peng Hu nodded.

"Two girls?" Peng Hu nodded again.

"Are they locals?" Peng Hu shook his head.

"Does one of the girls have an oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows, and peach blossom eyes?" Peng Hu nodded.

"Did your employer tell you to only target the girls in our group?" Peng Hu nodded.

"No matter life or death?" Peng Hu nodded.

"How can this be possible." Beitang Mo Ran was so angry that he smashed the already shabby table into pieces with one palm.

"Everything I said is true, Your Highness, please spare my life!" Peng Hu was so scared that he kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Take him away and keep him under guard. No one is allowed to visit him without my order."

Beitang Mo Ran and Yin Qian Lan came out of the prison. They had only stayed in there for a while and asked a few questions, but they already made him feel a little breathless.

"Master Yin, you can do something once or twice, but not three or four times!"

"What does Master Jiu mean?"

"I have understood this case in my heart. Since Lord Yin has served the court for many years and has made many contributions, I will give you a chance to handle it on your own. I hope Lord Yin will exercise due discretion."

"Forgive my stupidity, Master Jiu, do you know who is behind this?"

"It's almost the same."

"Please give instructions, Master Jiu. I will immediately capture that person and hand him over to Master Jiu and Young Lady for punishment."

"It seems that Lord Yin has not yet understood what I just said, and has not figured out who is behind the scenes. Then I will sort it out for Lord Yin again."

"Thank you, Master Jiu. I am all ears."

"Although Peng Hu did not speak, I asked him clearly. Combining the answers of several questions, it is not difficult to conclude that the people behind the scenes are two young girls, neither of whom are locals. The people they want to deal with are the young lady and her personal maid. The direction is very clear."

"This prince, the young master, and the young lady, this is our first time here. No one here knows us, except for Lord Yin's family. If Lord Yin still has questions, you can ask your daughter. This prince thinks she will tell you clearly."

"I will give Lord Yin a chance to handle the situation on his own. I hope Lord Yin will not disappoint me and the young lady. But your daughter is a girl after all, so you still need to be careful. Well, I have to go back to look after the young lady."

Beitang Mo Ran left after saying that, leaving Yin Qian Lan alone, disheveled in the wind.
