The person sitting on the ground raised his head, pursed his lips, then lowered his head.
"Bro, please be kind and save us, we really don't know who set the fire!"
The person on the ground no longer raised his head and only lowered his head to wipe away his tears. Actually, he didn't know why he was the only one who had nothing to do. He only repeated what he had done last night.
They let him go, but before they left they threatened to tell him not to say a word.
But he didn't understand. One of the five had been with him all night last night, so why was he fine?
Five more people were taken away, and everyone's eyes were focused on the boy who was kneeling on the ground, covering his crying face.
"Tell me!"
Seeing how scared he was, he probably wouldn't say a word.
The three corpses were right in front of their eyes. Moreover, they were all in the most tragic state of death, and even the air was stained with the smell of blood.
This didn't matter much to her, but for these new recruits who didn't have any actual experience, the impact was huge.
Even crying could no longer solve the problem. If it wasn't for the fact that his hands were tied to the chains and his legs were kicked off, the brat who came back would have probably been beaten to death by these people.
The room was as chaotic as a pot of boiling soup. Chu Yunge calculated in her heart, although she did not see a large number of soldiers, but everyone here, including the servants and maids, were most likely experts.
With so many experts gathered here, wouldn't it be better to look at them?
The sound of footsteps came again. The restless crowd and the iron chains quietened down for a moment, each and every one of them staring at the door.
One, two, three … Four!
There was another living being. When that brat came back, his expression was the same as before. He was in a trance and extremely terrified.
After a while, many different kinds of people rushed into the torture chamber. Just as she had expected, the servant girl and even the kitchen's head chef were there to press their way out.
A few of them, who had been tortured to the point of collapse, saw that it was the servant who was pressing them down and wanted to run away.
"Crack —" A maid embraced the man's neck and twisted half of his body to the left. A crisp sound was emitted from his neck, and the person in his arms immediately stopped breathing.
The remaining people who were running away were also taken care of by a few strikes.
This time, everyone was honest. Chu Yunge was very calm and collected as she was being suppressed.
Chu Yunge was pushed into a room.
The room was not large, but there was a row of people in front of it, including the Master whom she had just seen, standing on the ground with a pool of blood.
"Let me ask you, what were you doing last night?"
"Put out the fire." It could not be simpler.
The corners of the old master's mouth curled up into a smile as wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes. "Kid, your life is in my hands. Whether I kill you or not is just a matter of words. I advise you to answer honestly."
Which of the people who came here weren't kneeling down and crying for their parents? Their noses were like rivers flowing through them.
However, she didn't even cry. She just continued to answer questions nonchalantly.
"I'm afraid you don't want an answer." Using his toenails to think about it, it was impossible for there to be that many criminals. Killing so many just for the sake of killing chickens and honoring monkeys, letting everyone's mind collapse.
"Brat, do you want to die?" The old master said, "Someone, help him."
Chu Yunge raised her neck and closed her eyes. As long as she dared to come close, he would definitely not let him go back in one piece!
Standing beside him was a maidservant dressed in light pink robes. She raised the long sword by her side and slashed at Chu Yunge.
Chu Yunge remained unmoving, her hands clasped behind her back, as if she was a perfectly straight pine tree.
She could already feel the sword wind, but she still closed her eyes and held back.
The chill came, but suddenly he heard, "Stop!"
Chu Yunge heaved a sigh of relief from the bottom of her heart as she slowly opened his eyes. She looked at the sword right beside him with some disbelief, then turned her head to face the old master's eyes. "You, why …"
"Master, I'm an interrogator, not a murder weapon." The old master was obviously satisfied with Chu Yunge's surprised expression, "Men, bring her down."
Chu Yunge bit her lips, glistening teardrops appearing in her eyes, she was regretful: "Sorry, I misunderstood you!"
"Take him away."
Chu Yunge's glistening teardrops were brought down as she tightly clenched her fists. This kind of feeling of being able to casually play around and decide the life of others must be very pleasurable.
Chu Yunge was pressed down and walked to the backyard of the house, only then did she realize that she was deceived by the house's outer appearance.
This place was not as big as a mansion!
This courtyard was not a square at all, but rather a large mansion! It was just that the signs of the Li Residence were hanging on the street, but they were actually all connected!
Such a large building would at least have to be several thousand square meters.
"You're taking me there."
The person who brought her was also much more polite to her. After all, there were very few people who would dare to speak in such a manner in front of the old master. However, since they were going to be on the same boat from now on, their attitude would naturally be a lot better.
"Little brother, don't mind me just now. This is the rule here." He seemed like a chef as he spoke. If even the old master could make an exception for this brat, then he might not have any results in the future!
"I'm fine." Hearing that, Chu Yunge's attitude became more relaxed, and could roughly guess that she had escaped danger, and continued walking, she kept looking behind her.
"Little brother, what are you looking at?"
"Huh?" Was her movements so obvious? Even she didn't notice. "Nothing." Chu Yunge shook her head. Feng Yi was even craftier than the Nine-tailed Fox, what else could happen?
"Where are we going?"
"Ai, little brother, actually, it doesn't matter what you do here. I'm sure you can see through it as well."
Chu Yunge smiled, "That's right, big brother's skills are definitely not ordinary."
Where would he find a large spoon full of calluses sharpened by a sword?
"Hehe, no, no." The chef shook his head and said straightforwardly, "Little brother, you can stay here at the incinerator. If you have any free time, you can just burn something."
The incinerating field was surrounded by empty land, and in the middle was something similar to Old Lord Taishang's pill furnace. It should be made of iron, with something burning inside, emitting thick white smoke.
"Thank you." Chu Yunge was a little far away, the place was already too far away from the main hall. Moreover, this place was probably even bigger than the other halls in the suburbs, it was really a thorny problem to find someone who was deliberately hiding here.
After the chef left, Chu Yunge stood by the side of the "Pill Refining Furnace" and observed it for a long time.
The job of this incinerator was really just burning things. In any case, all the old and useless things, as long as they could be burned, would be thrown here.
"What are you standing there for? Why aren't you coming over to work?" A person beside him said in a strange voice.
Chu Yunge raised her eyebrows, this was most likely because she had practiced that technique for half a year, causing her voice to echo out.
She picked up a small wooden stick beside her and followed them as they picked up something and threw it inside.
Aiya!" Chu Yunge let out a strange cry. The trash had been pushed away by her, causing both of them to reveal expressions of shock.
He was already worried, so he just so happened to bump into the muzzle of the gun.
"You!" The two of them pointed at Chu Yunge and were about to curse him.
"Aiya, I'm so sorry." Chu Yunge held his face in pain, and imitated Feng Yi's actions as she lightly blew for him, "Whether Big Brother is in pain or not, it's all my fault."
She touched his cheek with her hand, touched his shoulder, and very deliberately rubbed it a few times before eating the tofu.
The two men who were about to curse at each other had swallowed their spittle like they had eaten a fly.
Chu Yunge retracted her hand, walked around him, and kept on touching his body, "Look at brother's clothes!"
She purposely aimed at Yuan Yuan's buttocks and pinched it viciously, even showing a very enjoyable expression.
The man who was touched by Chu Yunge immediately jumped up, and hugged his arms as she rubbed them with force, giving rise to goosebumps all over her body, and stayed far away from her.
"Brother, take off your clothes. Let me help you clean up. "
"No, there's no need. That brother, we still have things to do, so we'll be leaving first." The two of them twitched their faces, and looked at Chu Yunge as if she was a monster, and ran without caring about work, and while running, she even tripped and fell onto the ground.
"Big brother, are you alright?"
The two of them got up and quickly escaped …
Chu Yunge shook her little fist, "This move is really a hundred times tested and tested a hundred times, it finally quieted down."
She sat down on a pile of cloth and threw something into it with a stick, but her mind was still on how to get close to the front hall or somewhere else.
Her stick never stopped, and she kept thinking about things. When she looked up, a piece of fabric was flying from her stick.
Chu Yunge's eyes suddenly widened, and she jumped up to grab the cloth that had reached the sides of the cauldron.
That day when she was lying in the mother's embrace, the white colored clothes that mother wore, clearly showed this pattern!
Chu Yunge threw a stick and opened up a palm-sized piece of fabric. This should be the sleeve of her clothes!
She turned around and squatted down, her hands continuously rummaging through the pile of cloth. Most of the people here were men, and some of the women were maids, even if someone was acting as their mistress.
However, who could wear such gorgeous and imposing clothes? Although her mother clothes were plain white, they were definitely made of good workmanship. They had to follow the palace maids behind them as they dragged their skirts, which was a standard exclusive to the Great Chu Imperial Family.
