The people tied up in the yard soon went from being scattered all over the ground to being divided into two distinct groups.

The group of people who were carried out by Tang You personally all kept their heads down, with only the tops of their heads showing to everyone.

But no matter how hard they try to cover up, they still can't escape the fate of being recognized.

Xirui made a rough calculation and found that this included almost all the families involved in maritime business such as Zhao, Chen, Chu, Lin and others.

In other words, none of the families that were in competition with the Huang family were left out, and all of them had people here.

This was something Xirui and the others couldn't help but think about.

"Why don't you tell the truth quickly? What are you trying to do by following my girl?" Qingque received a signal from his master and picked up the person closest to him with one hand and asked.

A seven-foot-tall adult man was picked up by Qingque.

Although due to the height difference between them, the man was unable to experience the feeling of his entire body being suspended in the air.

But just the feeling of having most of his body lifted up was enough to make the man tremble with fear.

"Lady...lady, please spare me. I...I don't know anything." What kind of witch is this? She doesn't look very strong, so how could she be so strong?

Qingquelu's move completely overturned his previous perception of weak women.

He was so frightened that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Unexpectedly, Qingque did not let him go easily just because he said he didn't know, but instead punched the man in the stomach.

As if he wanted to vent all the frustration of being followed along the way, Qingque didn't hold back at all in this punch.

The heavy blow to the man's abdomen twisted his face in just one blow, and he didn't even have the strength to scream.

Qingque snorted coldly, his face full of suspicion.

By taking advantage of the convenience of lifting the man up from the ground, the height difference between the two was broken, and Qingque got close to the man's ear without much effort.

He asked again with a threatening tone, "I'm asking you one last time, do you really know nothing?"

This time, not only the person she was holding felt the danger, but everyone on the ground also realized it.

They all looked around with guilty eyes, but did not dare to look Qingque in the eye.

How could such an obvious act be hidden from the eyes of everyone present?

Yinzhi gave Xirui a look and told them to go into the house and wait for news, and he would handle the matter.

Xirui had no objection, but just left Yingwu and Xue Jing behind.

She took Yinzhen with her and walked into the house.

Qingque was still holding the person in his hand. Seeing Xirui passing by him, he didn't know for a moment whether he should drop the person first.

"Go in and keep your girl company. We are here." Fortunately, Yinzhi gave the order right after.

Qingque still felt a little unfair in his heart, so when he dropped the person in his hand, he really "threw" him, causing him to fall heavily back to the ground.

Then he brushed off the non-existent dust on his hands and followed Xirui's figure.

Xirui and his group were missing from the courtyard, and most of those left were helpers brought by Yinzhi.

Isn't this a good time for them to show their skills?

Starting with Tang You, one strong man after another rolled up their sleeves and interrogated the group of people on the ground.

There is no need for much torture or any techniques, just making them feel afraid is enough.

After all, among the people in this yard, there are always a few who are afraid of death.

As long as they can pry open the mouth of one person, why would they worry that the others wouldn't talk?

Yinzhi stood in the corridor with his hands behind his back, and behind him was the house where Xirui and others lived.

He just stood there, his cold eyes fixed on everyone in the yard.

Until one of them could no longer bear the double blow of physical and psychological blow, and collapsed and cried for mercy, "Enough, stop beating me, I say."

"I'll tell you everything I know. Please let my brother go."

The young man in coarse cloth and shorts struggled hard to protect his brother with his body, but he was trapped by the hemp rope on his body, so he tried for a long time but failed.

The one he called brother was the first "lucky guy" picked out by Qingque.

The younger brother, who had already been punched by Qingque, was obviously more seriously injured than the others.

He even couldn't stand up straight at this moment.

"Brother? Are you okay, second brother? Don't scare me!"

"Stop hitting him, I beg you to stop hitting him. I can tell you anything you want to know. I just ask you to be kind and spare my brother's life. There are people at home waiting for us to return."

The middle-aged man, who was eager to protect his brother, pleaded earnestly.

Immediately afterwards, as if he was afraid that the guards around him would become impatient and attack him again, he quickly told them all the information he knew.

"My brother and I were originally members of the Chen family, and then we followed our aunt to marry into the Zhao family, so we are considered members of the Zhao family, and we also work for the Chen family."

He first briefly introduced the origins of himself and his brother, which naturally matched Tang You's investigation results.

Then he added, "We are all farmers in the village. We have only a handful of strength and do everything according to the orders of our masters. We really don't intend to go against you, the nobles."

They have no other choice.

The life deeds of everyone in the family are still in their hands. How dare you disobey?

At this point, the people lying beside him all showed a look of sympathy on their faces.

They are not secret guards or death warriors. They at least have their families to support. How can they really disregard their own life and death just to do things for their masters?

When someone came forward to leak the secret, most of the psychological burden was instantly relieved.

Someone else immediately spoke up, "Yes, yes, these are all orders from the master. They have nothing to do with us."

"Yes, yes, I was sent by the Lin family. The master has always asked me to secretly monitor the movements of the head of the Zhao family, especially those related to the Huang family."

"Yes, yes, our Chu family is the same. The master told me to keep a close eye on the Zhao family's actions and report any findings immediately."

"... Huang's business is getting bigger and bigger. My family has long been dissatisfied, but they don't dare to be the first to take action. I heard that the Zhao family has been making small moves recently, so they asked us to keep a close eye on it so that we can also take advantage of it..."

"..."

With the cooperation of the person at the beginning, the follow-up went unexpectedly smoothly.

What Yinzhi had never expected was that the Zhao family, who were usually the most low-key and harmless, would be the first to unable to restrain themselves and take action against their Huang family.
