My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 414 Interrogation
In the evening, the shouting outside completely disappeared, and the guard's expression changed from serious to relaxed.

This made Zhu Zhanji's heart sink, and they knew without asking that the rescue of the officers and soldiers outside must have failed.

Just when Zhu Zhanji and the others were annoyed, they suddenly saw someone walking in from outside the cell, which made their hearts sink, because as the officers and soldiers failed to attack the cottage, it is likely that the people in the cottage would suspect them .

What Zhu Zhanji didn't expect was that among the people who came, the leader was a young and beautiful woman, followed by two people, one was an old man who looked like a teacher, and the other was King Kong who kidnapped them.

"Mother Buddha, these are the people I kidnapped!"

King Kong was crying at this time, and pointed to Zhu Zhanji in the cell and introduced.

Just now Xu Wengong guessed that the officers and soldiers were related to the kidnapped people, so he immediately scolded King Kong, but King Kong was also very wronged. After all, he kidnapped these people to make money for the cottage.

Zhu Zhanji in the cell was also very shocked. He had heard of the Buddha's mother before, and knew that the man in white was under the Buddha's mother, but he never thought that the Buddha's mother turned out to be a young and beautiful woman.

Tang Sai'er came to the cell, looked at Zhu Zhanji carefully, and then asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Zhang Zhan. Who are you and why did you kidnap me?"

Zhu Zhanji forced himself to be calm and said that before he traveled in casual clothes, he had already given himself an alias. Zhang was the surname of his mother, the princess, and then used a word in his name.

"Zhang Zhan? Did you attract the officers and soldiers outside?"

Tang Sai'er suspected that the other party reported a fake name, but continued to ask.

"What officers and soldiers? My master is Yanzhou Tongzhi. My son is going to visit relatives in Hejian Mansion this time. You are just asking for money, and we also want to save our lives. As long as we give us a few more days, one hundred thousand guan will definitely be delivered!"

Wang Zhi said first at this time that he first reported himself as "family" to prevent the other party from doubting Zhu Zhanji's identity, and then emphasized the ransom of [-] yuan, which aroused the other party's greed.

"So your son is the nephew of Tongzhi Yanzhou?"

Tang Sai'er looked at Zhu Zhanji again, but there was great suspicion in his eyes. If the other party was just the nephew of Yizhou Tongzhi, he might not be able to attract so many officers and soldiers.

"That's right, Yanzhou Tongzhi is my uncle. I think you are so young, girl. Why do you want to be a contemptible bandit? It's better for you to turn your back on the dark and turn to the light. I would like to plead with my uncle, and I will definitely save your lives when the time comes!"

Zhu Zhanji actually persuaded Tang Sai'er at this time.

"Hmph, it's all nonsense, we are bandits, and we are all forced by you officials!"

Before Tang Sai'er could speak, King Kong next to him couldn't help pointing at Zhu Zhanji and cursed angrily.

Don't blame King Kong for being angry. He was originally a small businessman, but because of the government's persecution, his family was ruined, so he usually hates the government very much.

In fact, not only King Kong, but almost all those who joined the White Lotus Sect had tragic life experiences, and a large part of their tragic experiences were related to the government.

"Okay, King Kong, be honest for a while!"

Xu Wengong glared at King Kong, blaming him for interrupting.

Tang Sai'er kept looking at Zhu Zhanji, and suddenly said, "You're lying!"

"Girl, why do you say that, where did I lie?"

Zhu Zhanji's heart skipped a beat, but on the surface he pretended to be calm and asked back.

"There is indeed a Zhang Tongzhi in Yanzhou, but as far as I know, he is a second-in-law at home, but you called him uncle just now, obviously your identity is fabricated!"

Tang Sai'er directly pointed out the loopholes in Zhu Zhanji's words.

Tang Sai'er is quite resourceful. She has been collecting information from officials in nearby states for the past few years. Yanzhou and Qingzhou are next to each other. Of course, she knows the situation there very well.

Zhu Zhanji was shocked when he heard the words, and immediately glanced at Wang Zhi next to him, only to find that Wang Zhi also had a bitter face. Obviously Wang Zhi also knew that he and Zhu Zhanji had said the wrong thing.

"Tell me, who are you? The officers and soldiers outside must have come to save you, right?"

Tang Sai'er asked calmly again.

She could already be sure that the young man in front of her must have an unusual background, and that King Kong caught a big fish by accident and came back.

Facing Tang Saier's cross-examination, Zhu Zhanji could only remain silent at this time. If he revealed his identity at this time, he might be silenced by the other party.

"If you don't say it, then don't blame us for being rude!"

Xu Wengong took a step forward at this time and threatened, scanning the entire cell while speaking.

Even if Zhu Zhanji didn't want to say it, but with so many people around him, under torture to extract a confession, some people would definitely not be able to hold back and confess his true identity.

Faced with this situation, Zhu Zhanji also panicked, and could only look at Wang Zhi next to him again.

But Wang Zhi was also helpless at this time, and Xu Wengong had been staring at Wang Zhi. Obviously, he also saw that Wang Zhi was Zhu Zhanji's confidant, so he was probably the first to interrogate him.

"Don't tell me, right? Someone, pull them out and interrogate them one by one!"

As soon as Xu Wengong gave an order, some members of the Bailian Cult immediately stepped forward, and they were about to open the prison door and pull Wang Zhi and others out for interrogation.

At this moment, Zhu Zhanji was also sweating profusely from fright, but suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately shouted: "Wait a minute, let me tell you!"

"Son!"

Wang Zhi was taken aback when he heard the words, and hurriedly wanted to stop him, but Zhu Zhanji held his shoulders and told him not to move.

Then Zhu Zhanji stepped forward, looked at Tang Saier through the fence and said, "Since you want to know my identity, I won't hide it from you. My grandfather is His Royal Highness King Ning of Ming Dynasty. I went to Beijing to give His Majesty a birthday gift, but I didn't expect to be hijacked by you."

Wang Zhi, who was behind him, was surprised when he heard that Zhu Zhanji had pretended to be the grandson of King Ning, but then he felt that this method was good. After all, although King Ning’s grandson was noble, he was far inferior to his grandson. So kill them.

"Since you are going to Beijing to give a birthday gift, what about the birthday gift?"

Tang Saier asked again.

"We originally took the sea route, but when we first arrived at the coast of Shandong, we encountered a big storm and the fleet was damaged. I was also afraid of danger, so I took people to take the land route. As for the birthday gift, it is still on the ship. Slowly transport it to the capital."

Zhu Zhanji replied calmly.

His words are half-truth and half-false, but it is not easy to be seen through.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Tang Saier and Xu Wengong looked at each other. Both of them felt that Zhu Zhanji's explanation was more reasonable. After all, the other party was the grandson of King Ning. He must bring a large number of guards with him when he usually travels. , That's why I brought such a few people, but was taken advantage of by King Kong.
