Tang Luoyu briefly explained a few words, then asked for the apprentice's home address, immediately collected the account book, and rushed there with Chai Jin and Ke Ran without stopping.

The apprentice's location was fairly easy to find, and the three of them quickly found the small courtyard where he lived. Tang Luoyu knocked on the door, but no one answered, and was about to knock again, but was stopped by Chai Jin.

"Wait!"

He let out a low cry, then pulled Tang Luoyu behind him, took a step forward, and put his ear against the door.

It was not that there was no one in the room. On the contrary, there was a rush of footsteps coming through the door, as if someone was packing up things and running quickly.

"Not good!" Chai Jin narrowed his eyes, "This person must know that we are looking for him, and is guilty of treachery and ready to escape!"

Ke Ran immediately became anxious, "We can't let him run away!"

Chai Jin nodded, then raised his leg and kicked the door. The wooden door immediately made a crisp cracking sound, and burst open with a "bang". Covering his mouth and nose, Chai Jin was used to this way of breaking in, and immediately rushed into the courtyard gate.

His eyes were as sharp as a falcon, and he quickly glanced around the courtyard, and soon found the apprentice who had already ridden on the wall and was about to escape with a burden on his back.

The man was also taken aback by the movement of the three of them, and was about to jump down the wall with a scream.

"Don't let him run away!"

Ke Ran yelled, Chai Jin tapped his toes, kicked his legs, his body flew off the ground lightly, and landed on the wall like a black eagle.

That guy had never seen such a battle before, he yelled again and stood there in a daze, his face turned pale with fright, Chai Jin effortlessly grabbed him by the back of the collar, and lifted him up like a little chicken. to the ground, throwing him on the ground unceremoniously.

The man fell on the ground and gnawed on the mud, and the burden fell off. After rolling two or three times on the ground, he got up in a panic and fell all over the mud.

"It's not me! It's not me!" He yelled, knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, "Mrs. Xue! I was wronged! I was really wronged!"

He yelled and kowtowed on the ground with a "bang bang", until a mass of bruises appeared on his forehead, and tears ran down his face, leaving a messy mark on his mud-covered cheeks.

"Fart!" Ke Ran opened her mouth and scolded, "It's not you, why are you running away! You have to deny it before we even say what we are looking for you, it must be you!"

"It's not me!" The man was still desperately resisting, "I... I just bought the goods and didn't do anything! I dare not lie about such a matter of life and death!"

Tang Luoyu looked at him coldly from top to bottom, unaffected by him in the slightest, "Since you said it was none of your business, why did you run away? Be lenient when you confess, and strict when you resist. It's not true!"

She raised her voice a few decibels, and the guy was so frightened that he almost fell over again.

On the dusty cheeks, the complexion is already blue and white, as if the three of them are some kind of monsters and ghosts, and they are going to suck his soul.

He swallowed a mouthful of non-existent saliva with difficulty, his eyes glanced frequently among the three of them, and then he said bravely: "Grandma, I really don't know, the little one has never thought of anything wrong, nor has he done anything wrong." Any hands or feet!"

Everyone became a little impatient, so Chai Jin simply raised his leg and kicked him on the shoulder. The man's body was as thin as a firestick. After being kicked, he fell backwards, fell to the ground with a "plop", and landed on the back of his head. He fell all over the place, with golden stars in front of his eyes, and kept yelling "Ouch, Ouch".

Chai Jin stepped forward, stepped on his bag, grabbed his collar and lifted him up. The guy's eyes were still dark, but he finally saw Chai Jin's face when he woke up halfway. He was so frightened that his limbs trembled and his lips trembled.

"Don't think we can't find evidence," Chai Jin made a fierce look on his face, "I tell you, if you tell the truth, you can still save your life, if you don't tell the truth, I will break your hands and feet , and throw you into a mass grave to be buried with Uncle Wang."

"what!"

The guy's face, which had just recovered, turned pale again, and his body trembled like chaff.

Seeing that this move was effective, Chai Jin struck again while the iron was hot, pinching his collar even tighter, "Are you going to say it now or not?"

The guy was so frightened that he lost his soul, his body was as soft as boiled noodles, and he stuttered for a long time before uttering a few complete words, "I say! I say! I say everything! Don't Cut off my limbs!"

Seeing this, Chai Jin let go of the strength in his hands. The guy was weak all over, and without Chai Jin's support, he fell to the ground with a "plop" and groaned.

Ke Ran broke a bench from the room and sat on the left and right of Tang Luoyu, quietly waiting for the guy to confess truthfully.

"Mrs. Xue, I can say anything." He kowtowed on the ground a few more times, "Actually, although my master was in charge of the source of the goods, but that day, when the master fell ill, I replaced him once."

Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something again, and repeatedly emphasized, "I swear, it's just this one time!"

Ke Ran was a little impatient, "We already knew about this, so tell me how you did it."

It was said that the guy was sweating profusely again, the sweat on his face mixed with mud, and fell down "pattaptat", forming a small muddy puddle on the ground.

"I...I..." He faltered again, "I saw that the spices were valuable, and I had evil thoughts in my heart. Besides, some people who bought the goods at that time urged me to buy that kind of cheap grass and fruit. There are hundreds of taels of silver, as long as I buy that kind of cheap grass fruit, the hundred taels of silver can go into my pocket..."

Chai Jin slammed his fist on the wall, and there was a dull sound from the wall, and the dust fell down, "So you bought that cheap grass fruit in order to enrich yourself, didn't you!"

The guy trembled in fright, and murmured: "Yes..."

"It's unreasonable!" Ke Ran also became annoyed, "You know, because of your greed, you killed a person! Now Mr. Tang is still wronged and locked up in the yamen, and your master is here to protect you!" In prison, not only did you not tell the truth, but you even tried to hide, your conscience has been eaten by dogs!"

"I was wrong! I was wrong!" The guy kowtowed again and again in fright, "Mrs. Xue! It's all my fault. I was infatuated for a while and got distracted. Please let me go!"

"No need to say more," Tang Luoyu stood up, "For the sake of your truthful confession, I will send you to the Yamen, and I will treat you as if you surrendered yourself."

This move is already considered a great kindness, but that guy is not happy about it.
