"Your Majesty, we didn't know! We really didn't know!"
"Yes! Your Majesty, please forgive us, we were also deceived by that guy!"
"We are all country folk and have never been to the city much in our lives. We usually just buy newspapers when they come to sell them. We can't tell the truth from the false ones at all!"
"That's right! That kid always finds a different kid to sell newspapers, and we are also deceived...!"
After learning the truth of the matter, the people knelt down to beg for mercy and kowtowed to Ying Zheng.
Now when I think back to what they just said, I feel that it is treacherous. Once His Majesty blames them, their heads will be gone!
At this time, they really hated that Cui Sheng.
"Humph? Are you scared now? What were you thinking just now?"
Wang Ben snorted coldly.
"General, we really don't know. This guy has always kept a low profile since he came to our village. We didn't think much about it, and we didn't know that he printed those newspapers privately!"
The people said helplessly with sad faces.
"Who does Cui Sheng have regular contact with?"
Ying Feiyu didn't believe that in just two years, that dandy young master's thoughts would change so drastically.
Someone must have instigated it.
Kang Anping had already taken the person away for interrogation, and he was also trying to see if he could get any clues from the villagers!
"I don't know. This kid rarely goes out, let alone comes into contact with anyone!"
"Yes! Our village is not big, and we don't usually see anyone traveling with us!"
"Yes, I've never seen it before...!"
The people shook their heads one after another.
"Huh? I think I saw someone at his house when I got up two nights!"
A man wearing plain cotton clothes stood up and said in retrospect.
"Tell me carefully, what's going on?"
Ying Feiyu asked.
"Because my family and Cui Sheng's family live in the front and back yards, there were times when I had to urinate urgently in the middle of the night. I went to the back yard to solve the problem. I accidentally glanced at his house. The oil lamp was still lit, and two figures were vaguely reflected in the window...!"
The villager thought carefully and finally said with certainty: "That's right! There are two figures. The other one is thinner and taller than him!"
"Did you see that person again during the day?"
"No! I've never seen a stranger at his house during the day!"
"Oh? So sure?"
"That's right! Our village is small, and we all will notice when strangers come!"
"That means that a stranger will go to Cui Sheng's house at night and leave early in the morning?"
Through the words of the villagers, Ying Feiyu came to a conclusion.
This also proved his speculation that there was indeed a person behind the scenes pushing Cui Sheng to do all this!
This also proves that little Cui Sheng is not dangerous, but the person behind him who is driving all this is really dangerous!
"Yes, anyway, we haven't seen any strangers during the day. We don't know exactly when we left!"
The villager shook his head.
Before these things happened, they didn't think there was anything strange at all.
Relatives came to the villagers’ homes. This is normal!
But after combining today's events, I immediately noticed something was wrong!
Whose relative only comes at night and is nowhere to be seen in the morning?
"That person comes every day?"
Little Shota touched his smooth chin, thought for a moment, and continued to ask.
"No! I only saw him a few times! He was at home alone most of the time!"
The villagers shook their heads firmly.
"You mean, his house usually has lights on at night?"
If not, how could the villagers be sure that he was the only one there?
"Yes! We also asked him about this matter. According to him, he has been afraid of the dark since he was a child, so he has to light a lamp to fall asleep!"
Another villager rushed to say.
"It seems that Cui Sheng is busy printing at night and looking for someone to sell it early in the morning!"
Ying Feiyu got the general idea.
"Um……!"
Ying Zheng also nodded in agreement, "It seems that these things really have nothing to do with these people!"
"Your Majesty, we are really unjust, we don't know anything!"
The people kowtowed one after another and cried out for themselves.
"When you were searching the village, did you find any abnormalities in the homes of other villagers?"
Ying Zheng would never believe their words and set his sights on the searching guards.
"Your Majesty, all I found in other farmers' homes were newspapers, and no other abnormalities were found!"
The guard raised his hand and reported.
"Well! Okay, you guys get up first!"
Only then did Ying Zheng wave his hand.
That is to say, with the arrival of Xiao Zhengtai, he can have the patience to understand this.
If it had been a different time before, and his temper had gotten worse, he would have been killed no matter what!
In his eyes, he could not tolerate anyone opposing the imperial court!
However, it is only limited to letting them stand up. Before the real results come out, it is impossible to let them go home!
At least we have to wait for the results of Kang Anping's interrogation!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The people kowtowed repeatedly and then dared to stand up.
Kang Anping also moved very quickly. Within half an hour, he returned with his guards and Cui Sheng.
He usually deals with those gangsters, who are as tough-talking as a dead duck!
Now it is easy to deal with a white-faced dude!
"Your Majesty, everything has been explained clearly!"
The guard threw Cui Sheng to the ground, and Kang Anping bowed.
"Oh? It's pretty fast!"
Ying Zheng squinted his eyes and glanced at Cui Sheng on the ground. There was no scar on his face, but his spirit was extremely depressed.
This is the method of the Ministry of Punishment, and he doesn't need to ask in detail, as long as the results come out!
"Humph! What this guy said just now was so tough, I thought he was a tough nut to crack! I didn't expect that after a little scare, he would do anything!"
Kang Anping sneered.
"Tell me about it!"
"Back to Your Majesty, this guy's identity is just as His Highness the Crown Prince said. He was the son of Cui Jingtong who used to deliver tribute wine to the imperial court! After his family fell into disgrace, he immediately ran away with little money. By chance, he met a man The young man, after learning what happened to him, made plans to let him do these things!"
"Even the money for engraving the engravings and buying paper came from that person! He is responsible for buying paper and printing fake newspapers!"
Kang Anping gave an overview of the matter.
"Sure enough, someone ordered it!"
Ying Zheng said in a deep voice with a grimace on his face.
Young Shota had already guessed these things before, so his reaction was not as big as before!
"Do you know who the instigator is?"
This is what Ying Feiyu cares about most.
"I don't know. According to this kid's explanation, the instigator has always refused to reveal his name. I only know that he is a young man, tall and straight, with a long scar on his right cheek!"
"Scar again?"
This clue made everyone frown.
Last year's Jiangnan flood, all the evidence pointed to the young man with scars on his face!
I didn’t expect it to happen this time!
It seems that this young man with scars on his face has been trying his best to mess with Da Qin!
He must be caught!
