That figure was certainly not an assassin, but Zhu Er, who was showing great joy: "Brother-in-law, you are finally back!"
Zhang Shou didn't know if it was his own illusion or some other reason, but he always felt that Zhu Er's eyes were filled with tears... No, it should be said that he felt like crying with joy. When Zhu Er almost attentively helped him off the horse, he was completely clear about this. Sure enough, Zhu Er said something that shocked him.
"Brother-in-law, when Yingying gets angry, it's impossible to stop her. We went to three workshops, and at the third one we happened to run into a group of guys who were destroying the workshops. Those guys were holding hammers and axes, but Yingying was as brave as a ghost and rushed forward without caring about anything. She kicked down two of them and knocked down one. The remaining three were taken care of by Zhu Hong and his men!"
Zhu Er held up three fingers, and was terrified when he thought of the previous scene. "You don't know, those guys' hammers rubbed her arms, shoulders... and even her face several times. I was almost scared to death by her! After she tied up those people, she went to see Big Brother. I didn't dare to follow her in, for fear that Big Brother would know about this and beat me up instead of scolding her!"
Zhang Shou really couldn't say that Zhu Er was worrying too much. He looked at his pitiful second uncle, turned around and gestured to Ah Liu, and dragged Zhu Er inside. Ah Liu, who was lagging behind, saw that Xiao Huasheng was dumbfounded, so he patted the boy's shoulder again with sympathy and said meaningfully: "You'll get used to it."
Habit... Habit of what? The second son Zhu was talking about just now should be his sister, right? She is the daughter of the Duke of Zhao, and she actually rolled up her sleeves to fight... Fight? When he saw her for the first time, he felt that she was not as domineering as those young ladies in Cangzhou, but now it seems that she can fight and kill, and servants, villains, and lackeys are all no match for her
When Peanut followed Ah Liu into the Changlu County Office, he was so confused that he forgot about the fact that his secret had been discovered by Zhang Shou and Ah Liu. When he followed Ah Liu to the lobby of the County Office in a daze and heard the cold voice inside, he suddenly woke up.
"Don't want to talk? In that case, come, drag them down and beat them until they talk. Remember, be gentle and slow. Beat them for an hour or two, and maybe they will confess!"
He looked inside with wide eyes, and saw two strong men carrying a vaguely familiar hook-nosed man with his hands and feet tied up. They threw him directly onto the platform, dragged him down, and beat him. As the thumb-thick wooden stick rained down on the man's hips and legs, he couldn't help but scream like a pig being slaughtered. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, completely forgetting what he was thinking just now.
And just like that, the second, third, fourth... people were dragged out one after another, thrown on the ground and beaten. But all I could hear were screams, groans, and cries for mercy, and occasionally there were voices shouting, "I'll say anything." But even so, the beatings did not stop.
At this time, Xiao Huasheng only heard Zhang Shou whispering, "So the wooden sticks used to beat people these days are this thick... Yes, if they really used a large board like a boat paddle, it wouldn't take thirty or fifty times, maybe just three or five hits to kill someone."
