One touch and one silence

Chapter 181 Interrogation of Zhou Lingling

Even though he threatened me like that, I still kept silent. It seems I need to be more ruthless.

Cheng Feng looked at the silent general above, and he understood.

"Since the young lady won't say anything, then I will have no choice but to give you to my subordinates. This will be a gift to them. I'm sure they will be very happy to see you."

"Somebody come!"

Cheng Feng shouted to the outside of the door.

The girl and the old woman suddenly became nervous.

No matter how dumb Zhou Lingling was, she understood that this man was going to hand her over to those dirty, smelly subordinates, and she turned pale with fright.

"Mother-in-law!"

Zhou Lingling backed away as she spoke, almost crawling under the table.

Cheng Feng winked at the visitor.

The old woman stopped in front of the girl and glared at Cheng Feng fiercely.

"General, there is no need to do this. I will tell you to let my young lady go."

Cheng Feng squatted down and looked at the old woman.

"Then it depends on your performance!"

"Say it!"

Cheng Feng put his hands behind his back and waved at the soldiers behind him. This old woman was not a good person, so he naturally would not act like a gentleman to them.

The old woman had no choice but to accept her fate.

After all these years in the mountains, how could he not understand the meaning of this man's tone?

Many women had been captured from the mountain before. Since there were relatively few women and too many men, all of them were in their prime. There were so many people watching her. If she hadn't been of some use and protected by a benefactor, she might have died like those women.

She would naturally not let her young lady fall to that level.

"Since the officer was able to catch the old woman, it was my bad luck. I guess the officer must have known her background very well!"

After the old woman finished speaking, she glanced at Cheng Feng.

"Of course!"

Cheng Feng looked at the old woman with interest.

"Over the years, I have naturally been thinking about revenge. Those people are just my neighbors."

Cheng Feng sneered.

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

"Those guys have strong lower bodies, and it's obvious that they've practiced martial arts. You told me that they're your neighbors?"

"You won't cry until you see the coffin, right?"

"Somebody come!"

Following Cheng Feng's order, Zhou Lingling hid behind the old woman in fear and looked at the two soldiers who came in vigilantly.

"Take that girl away. This general will take charge and give her to you."

When the two soldiers heard this, they immediately became happy and were about to pull the girl behind the old woman with a smile.

"Go away! Go away!"

Zhou Lingling was so frightened that her voice broke and she started crying without any image.

"Grandma, Grandma, save me!"

The little girl struggled to break free from the two soldiers' grasp.

"Don't touch my lady!"

The old woman knelt in front of Zhou Lingling, blocking the two of them.

"What are you still standing there for? I've given you a beautiful woman, why don't you want her?"

Cheng Feng said in a mean tone to the soldier who was standing there for a moment, not knowing what to do.

The two soldiers now understood what the general meant.

One person pulled away the old woman who was blocking their way, and the other went to grab the young girl.

Suddenly, the tent was bustling with activity. Yu Qinglin glared at Cheng Feng when no one was paying attention, telling him not to go too far.

Cheng Feng gestured behind his back to show that he was relieved.

Two soldiers pulled the girl and tried to take her away.

The old woman was anxious but there was nothing she could do. Cheng Feng saw that the two of them were almost there, except for the last bit of fire.

He raised his eyebrows and gave a hint to the two soldiers.

The two soldiers pulled the girl's hands even harder.

Yu Qinglin stood up and turned his back, too lazy to even look at Cheng Feng.

"I said! I said! Let me go!"

Zhou Lingling's defense was still broken.

Cheng Feng waved at the two soldiers and said, "I will trust you just this once. Go ahead!"

"Miss!"

The old woman wanted to stop it.

Zhou Lingling simply ignored her and knelt on the ground in frustration, "Mother-in-law, by now, I'm afraid our affairs have long been known by the higher-ups. Do you really want me to be humiliated by them?"

As soon as the girl finished speaking, the old woman stopped talking.

Zhou Lingling had seen a lot in the mountains, and she knew what those men looked like when they saw women, so she naturally didn't dare to gamble.

"I am the eldest daughter of Qilian Mountain. My father is Zhou Cheng, and he works for a nobleman in the capital."

"Who is that distinguished person? What does he want to do?" Yu Qinglin asked.

Zhou Lingling glanced at the man. This was the second sentence he had said since he came in.

This person is probably not a good person since he can tolerate such despicable behavior of his subordinates.

"I don't know, I just know she's a very powerful noble. My father respects her very much. Every time she comes, my father will send me away."

"But I know what they are going to do? Rebellion!"

"Father trained the troops here for them. He was actually very cautious at the beginning, but later when he saw that nothing was happening, he became more and more bold. In the end, it was like what you see. All the people in Qilian Town were taken to the mountains by them."

“How many people are there on the mountain?”

Cheng Feng's tone couldn't be described as good, but it was much softer than at the beginning.

"More than 58,600 people!"

The girl answered without hesitation.

When Yu Qinglin heard the girl's answer, he frowned. It seemed that there were many more people who knew more than him.

"Where are you all from?" Cheng Feng asked.

Zhou Lingling smiled.

"Of course they all came voluntarily!"

"impossible!"

Cheng Feng’s first reaction was that the girl was lying.

"Why not? My father gave them 20 taels of silver a year and promised to reward them with 100 taels of silver after the success. They came naturally!"

Yu Qinglin now understood that it was the money that attracted these people. So that's why!

No wonder there was no news at all.

"Tell me about your father Zhou Cheng!"

Yu Qinglin looked at the girl kneeling there, his eyes showing no trace of sympathy at all.

"There's nothing much to say about my father. He's just an outcast who was abandoned by the family."

"If you let me go, I can help you lobby my father."

Cheng Feng smiled!

This woman is smart and cunning, like a little fox.

She had dropped some information on them, things they could easily find out, and now she wanted them to return it to her. It was really ridiculous.

"Don't think about it, girl! We are not here to persuade people. Those people are just trapped in a jar. Just wait!"

Zhou Lingling blushed when she saw that her plan had been discovered. She said stubbornly, "I am my father's only daughter. He will definitely listen to me. If you let me go back, I will persuade him to join you!"

Zhou Lingling said this, but what she actually thought was that when she returned to the mountain, she would ask her father to avenge her. She would remember the humiliation she had suffered today.

Cheng Feng smiled playfully, playing tricks on him, it was really funny.

"Miss, you have a good plan, but there is no need for that. Since you are Zhou Cheng's only daughter, you will be more useful in our hands."

"Somebody come!"

"Take this girl away and keep her under good care!"

When Cheng Feng saw the girl being taken away, he looked at the old woman who had been silent.

"Don't worry!"

After saying that, he walked out of the tent and called out to Erwu and others.

"Brother Erwu, come in!"

Erwu followed Cheng Feng into the tent and pointed at the old woman on the ground.

"This man is the prisoner that the Seventh Prince wants. You can take him away!"

Erwu glanced at General Yu.

"Go! Take this general to say hello to His Majesty the Seventh Prince!"
