Ming Dynasty: At the beginning, the house was ransacked and the ancestral temple was burned down.

Chapter 23 You’d better die obediently!

"Who is Zhang Cheng? I don't know him." Zhang Chonghui shook his head in confusion.

Seeing this, Ren Yangxin could not help but feel less suspicious. He asked again: "Then who is Eunuch Zhang you are talking about?"

"I don't know." Zhang Chonghui still shook his head.

Ren Yangxin just thought that Zhang Chonghui didn't dare to tell the truth, so he had to slow down his tone and coax: "At this point, I am the only one who can help you. You want me to help you, but you refuse to tell me the truth. What else can I do?" Help you?"

Zhang Chonghui first lowered his head and thought. After a moment, he seemed a little shaken and asked: "Uncle Ren, are you really willing to help me?"

"Yes." Ren Yangxin nodded solemnly when he saw something was going on: "You misunderstood me before. In fact, I am a good person."

Ren Yangxin was actually testing. If Zhang Chonghui acted like he believed such obvious lies right away, he would be sure that Zhang Chonghui was lying to him from beginning to end!

After all, he was the culprit who led the troops to besiege the Zhang family and caused seventeen members of the Zhang family to starve to death!

However, Ren Yangxin's suspicion was once again frustrated, because Zhang Chonghui not only did not believe that he was a 'good person', but instead sighed helplessly:

"Oh, it doesn't matter whether you are a good person or not. My mother is right. Now we can only treat a dead horse as a living doctor."

Ren Yangxin touched her nose in embarrassment, "What else did your mother say?"

"She said that although you are hateful, as long as you can save our lives, she is willing to do anything." Zhang Chonghui replied.

"Are you willing to do anything? Ahem..." Ren Yangxin hurriedly coughed a few times to put it off, mainly because now is not the time to think about these things, because he has more important things to ask:
  "Boy, if you and your mother want to survive, you must answer truthfully every question I ask you from now on.

If there is a lie, let alone me, you will die even if the King of Heaven comes! do you understand? "

Faced with Ren Yangxin's half-intimidation and half-threat, the little boy Zhang Chonghui could only reply helplessly: "Oh, just ask."

Ren Yangxin didn't waste any time and asked directly: "Who is Eunuch Zhang you are talking about?"

Zhang Chonghui: "I have never met him, but I heard him mentioned casually twice by the Jinyiwei Qianhu named Chen. I think he seems to be in awe of the father-in-law named Zhang. I think he must be his leader, right?"

Ren Yangxin: "Jin Yiwei named Chen? Chen Yin?"

Zhang Chonghui: "I only know his surname is Chen. Others call him Chen Qianhu. I don't know what his name is."

Ren Yangxin: "Is it the Qianhu of Jin Yiwei who always follows Luo?"

Zhang Chonghui: "Yes, that's him."

Ren Yangxin: "Did Chen Yin ask you to set fires, lock doors, and kill people?"

Zhang Chonghui: "Chen Qianhu only asked me to lock the door."

Ren Yangxin: "What about murder and arson?"

Zhang Chonghui: "The man was killed by another Jin Yiwei. I don't know his name and I have only met him once. He said that as long as I am willing to admit the murder, the big shot behind him can save our family."

Ren Yangxin: "The big shot at the back? Is his surname Shen?"

Zhang Chonghui: "I don't know."

Ren Yangxin: "Who set the fire?"

Zhang Chonghui: "I don't know this either. It was the servant named Qiu who forced me. He said that if I didn't admit that I set the fire, he would kill all my uncles and torture our whole family." Ren Yang Heart: "What a guy! Qiu Li is here!"

At this point in the questioning, Ren Yangxin was completely stunned. He didn't expect that this matter would involve so many people!
  He deduced that if nothing unexpected happened, the 'Eunuch Zhang' mentioned by Zhang Chonghui should be Zhang Jing who was far away in the capital.

After all, Zhang Jing is the real factory director of Dongchang, and Jinyiwei Qianhu Chen Yin and commanding colleague Luo Sigong are also Zhang Jing's people.

Ren Yangxin didn't know what conflicts there were between Zhang Jing and Zhang Cheng, but from the details of the previous disagreement between Zhang Cheng and Luo Sigong, it could be seen that the two groups were at odds with each other in face and heart.

Especially when combined with the fact that Zhang Jingxiu was able to hang himself under Jin Yiwei's nose, everything makes sense.

Finally, there was Qiu Li. Although Ren Yangxin had suspected that Qiu Li had bribed people and wanted to destroy the entire Zhang family, it was only a suspicion.

After all, no matter how much Qiu Li hated Zhang Juzheng, he wouldn't hate him enough to kill his whole family, right?

I didn't expect that Qiu Li would be so cruel!

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Zhang Chonghui actually asked Ren Yangxin.

"Ah... yes!" Ren Yangxin hadn't actually finished digesting the information, but when Zhang Chonghui asked him, he unconsciously wanted to continue asking.

"Besides them, no one else ordered you?"

"No, Uncle Ren is the only one among you who didn't force me in private."

Zhang Chonghui's tone seemed a little emotional. After hearing this, Ren Yangxin involuntarily puffed up her chest and said, "I am an upright and upright officer. How could I do something like forcing a child in private?"

"Anything is fine." Zhang Chonghui did not show much appreciation, but turned to look at him expectantly and asked: "I told you everything I know. When that prince comes tomorrow, will you save me?"

Ren Yangxin almost laughed out loud when he heard this. The childish eyes of the baby in front of him, full of expectation, seemed so ridiculous and childish to him.

save you? Brat, you better die!
  Of course, Ren Yangxin would not tell such a truth, at least not yet. After all, there were still things to ask clearly.

"Of course I can save you, but you have to tell me where your Zhang family's property is hidden first." Ren Yangxin has always remembered what Zhang Chonghui said at the beginning. Although it is not very convincing, he still Want to try it.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected. What if this kid really knows?

This time, Zhang Chonghui refused to speak anymore, seeming to blame himself.

"What, you want to cheat?" Ren Yangxin didn't want to pretend anymore: "Boy, please make it clear, you are the one begging me now!"

Zhang Chonghui asked in confusion: "What if you... go back on your word?"

"Okay, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it." Ren Yangxin picked up the lantern on the ground, looked like she was leaving, and said lightly:
  "Prince Lu will arrive tomorrow. After he orders your torture and peels off your skin inch by inch, I think you will be willing to take the initiative."

After Ren Yangxin said this, he turned around and left.

As expected, he was grabbed by his sleeve by a small hand from behind.

"Don't leave, I said." Zhang Chonghui grabbed Ren Yangxin's sleeve and said somewhat mysteriously: "But I have a condition, you must agree to me first."

"Conditions?" Ren Yang wanted to laugh. This boy actually dared to negotiate terms with him? Out of a playful spirit, he still asked: "What are the conditions?"

Zhang Chonghui suddenly raised his hand and said, "That's it..."
