If that other force is from the Xie family, perhaps Xie Qingshan and his parents have been detained by now.

After all, if he were a member of the Xie family, he would never give himself any chance to make a comeback.

From this, it is not difficult to infer that the other group of people now is probably not from the Xie family.

Of course, Xie Qingshan did not dare to be 100% sure about this matter.

After all, no one knows whether the other side is playing a long game to catch the big fish.

Once any situation occurs on your side, you will probably encounter disaster.

But at least judging from the current situation, the situation is not that bad yet.

Also, why are they in such a hurry? Something unexpected must have happened.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to ask him about this matter in a hurry.

While thinking of this, Xie Qingshan couldn't help but frown slightly.

A possibility emerged in his mind.

Maybe the person who was captured is now dead.

Only in this way can we explain why the other group of cases are so anxious.

Think of this. Xie Qingshan couldn't help but admire Qin He even more.

In fact, Xie Qingshan's guess was correct.

Because the day after he came back, the captured man named Huzi had been tortured to death.

Even when Huzi was tortured to death, he never disclosed any information.

Under all kinds of torture, Huzi's only obsession was not to betray his Lord Qin.

Huzi knew that if it hadn't been for Mr. Qin, they would have died under the horrific taxes.

It would be okay for him to die himself, but he didn't want his wife and children to die of hunger.

He was extremely desperate at that time.

However, Master Qin's appearance became their light of hope.

From then on, they never suffered from famine in their lives, nor did they worry about not having enough to eat.

Huzi can be regarded as the first batch of people to sign up to join the militia.

Although, he was not among the group who followed Mr. Qin from the beginning.

But because of his outstanding ability, he now has the opportunity to work with Liu Qiang.

Because of this, he can't betray Lord Qin, nor can he betray Brother Qiang.

He has always kept this kindness in his heart, and now he can repay Master Qin's kindness.

Until the moment Huzi died, his eyes were still full of hope for the future life.

What he longs for is not his own future, but the future of his wife and children.

Because living in such a place, he believed that his wife and children would have a better life.

Before he died, the corners of Huzi's mouth raised slightly, as if he had seen something beautiful.



The capital, outside the city.

A corpse was tied to the torture rack and displayed in front of everyone.

No one knows what kind of mistake this corpse made to end up like this.

But all the people passing by left in a hurry, not daring to take a second look.

There were two officers and soldiers standing next to the corpse, looking at the passers-by from time to time.

Once they find that someone is missing something or looking wrong, they will immediately come forward to question them.

There were quite a few people being questioned, but most of them were just passers-by.

Among the people who were not questioned by the two officers and soldiers, one was in a hurry.

When he saw the corpse tied to the torture rack, his eyes turned red.

He forcibly suppressed his emotions and left step by step.

This person is none other than Liu Qiang.

Liu Qiang took the risk to come here in order to confirm whether anything happened to Hu Zi.

In fact, among this group of people, only Liu Qiang is the most suitable person to go to the city to inquire.

Because now he has the document that Lin Er was given to him, so he can be considered a member of the imperial court now.

But everyone knows that there can be no surprises in this matter.

Therefore, they did not intend to let Liu Qiang go from the beginning.

But now that something like this has happened, Liu Qiang does not intend to continue like this.

What Brother Qin told him was important, but he didn't want to see his brother's life in vain.

Especially when he took the risk and came to inquire outside the city, his eyes turned red when he saw the corpse tied to the torture rack.

His unstoppable trembling body quickly attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers.

Yes, Liu Qiang was also stopped.

After a loud drink, a person appeared before Liu Qiang's death and blocked his way.

When Liu Qiang looked up, he found a fat officer and soldier tied in front of him.

"Stop! What do you do?"

When he heard this, Liu Qiang also came back to his senses.

His face, which had been gloomy before, now had a different expression.

A face that seemed a bit flattering, he took a fancy to the officer and soldier.

"Brother, I'm just here to help my lord do something."

Hearing Liu Qiang calling him brother, the expression on the officer's face became obviously ugly.

"Who is your brother? You..."

However, before he finished speaking, he saw Liu Qiang taking out a piece of paper from his pocket.

There are some broken silver underneath the document.

The officer and soldier's already ugly face softened slightly at this moment.

Taking the document over and looking at it, his expression changed slightly.

Then he calmly put the broken silver under the document into his sleeves.

After finishing all this, he coughed lightly.

"It turns out we are brothers from the local area. Since you have something to do, go and do your work and don't wander around here."

After hearing what the officer and soldier said, Liu Qiang nodded repeatedly.

"That's nature, that's nature."

Perhaps because Liu Qiang's reaction satisfied the officer and soldier, he smiled.

"Don't tell me, brother, I won't remind you! There is a lot of urgency outside the city right now!"

"You'd better not run around. If you get into trouble, your adults won't be able to save you."

I don't know if it was because he took advantage of Liu Qiang, but this officer obviously talked a lot.

Hearing this, Liu Qiang pretended to be surprised.

"Brother, what's going on? Can you tell me about it? I don't want to get into trouble then."

While talking, Liu Qiang took out a few more taels of silver from his sleeves.

Obviously these few taels of silver are much more than the previous broken silver.

When the officer and soldier saw the few taels of silver in front of them, their eyes couldn't help but light up.

For him, this is just lip service.

Just say it.

Being able to earn so much money from just a few words is naturally a good thing.

Then he continued to speak.

"Although I don't know who ordered this, some bandits are being arrested outside the city. As for why they are being arrested, the higher-ups have not made it clear."

When he heard this, Liu Qiang couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Okay! Let's go!"

Originally, he planned to continue asking, but the next moment, the officers and soldiers had already issued an order to expel the guests.
