Chapter 105 He cursed as soon as he put down the bowl.

Chapter 105 He cursed as soon as he put down the bowl.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huaiyu shrugged indifferently: "Let's go, I'll go back and take a nap."

Jiang Yutang followed behind Jiang Huaiyu, filled with curiosity, and couldn't help but ask, "Third Brother, how will he interrogate that woman?"

Jiang Huaiyu turned around and glanced at the woman not far away with the look of someone looking at a dead person. His tone was calm but carried a sense of oppression.

“There is no shortage of interrogation methods in the military camp. Once you capture a prisoner, there is no one whose mouth you can’t pry open.”

Looking at his serious expression, Jiang Yutang felt a chill run down her spine and couldn't help but shiver.

At first, she didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. After returning home, she couldn't resist her exhaustion and fell into a deep sleep.

When they woke up the next morning, they heard Yun say that Cheng Lanzhou had interrogated them and gotten all the information out of them.

"Huh? So fast!" Jiang Yu rubbed his messy head and tried to open his swollen eyelids.

Jiang Huaiyu snorted: "That kid finished the interrogation before dawn and came back. He washed his clothes by the river before returning to the camp."

"Washing clothes?" Jiang Yutang raised her right eyebrow, vaguely guessing why Cheng Lanzhou was in such a hurry to wash clothes. Unable to contain her excitement, she pressed on, "What did you find out? Tell me quickly!"

Jiang Huaiyu raised her chin, gesturing for her to look behind her.

She turned her head and saw the two families sitting together, not even bothering to get their breakfast porridge, their expressions all solemn.

She quickly rolled up the bamboo mat and tossed it aside, then strode over to sit down next to Mu Shi and casually pulled Xiaoxiao onto her lap.

People came and went in the camp. When the refugees and displaced people saw a dozen or so people sitting together with solemn expressions, none of them dared to approach them.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Cheng Lanzhou didn't waste any time and directly stated the information he had obtained from the interrogation the previous night.

"The Black Hawk Gang was instigated by the Gu family."

Upon hearing this, everyone present froze on the spot, involuntarily thinking of one person.

Gu Wenxiao.

Jiang Yutang was the culprit who tricked Jiang Yutang into framing both families. Everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to Jiang Yutang, and the air seemed to freeze.

When Jiang Yutang heard the surname "Gu," a look of astonishment appeared on her face. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she secretly groaned.

The original text mentions that Gu Wenxiao appears to be gentle and refined, but in reality, he is treacherous and cunning, and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

Previously, she thought that no matter how much Gu Wenxiao used and schemed against the original owner, he wouldn't go so far as to kill her. Now it seems that she underestimated the cruelty of people's hearts under the power of authority.

This person is worse than a dog!

Cheng Dai'er sneered, her gaze sweeping over Jiang Yutang, her eyes filled with wariness and scrutiny: "I was wondering why the journey had been so turbulent, with a bunch of bandits causing such chaos. There might be someone working on it from the inside."

The target of these words was obvious, and Jiang Yutang felt extremely uncomfortable, experiencing a wave of exhaustion and helplessness. After going through so much, couldn't she prove her innocence?

How can you be sure that what the woman said is true?

Jiang Jiuzhe broke the awkward silence, his brows furrowed, and asked in a calm tone, "Everyone knows that the Gu family is the culprit who stirred up the conflict between our two families. Now that our two families are united, it is the last thing they want to see."

Jiang Songzhi quickly chimed in, "I also feel something's not right. Maybe they have ulterior motives and are trying to sow discord between our two families!"

"We should be more cautious. If we start a conflict now, wouldn't that be playing right into their hands?"

The Cheng family members became more wary and stopped making any further comments.

Jiang Yutang stared blankly at a pebble on the ground, her thoughts drifting elsewhere, connecting it to the content of the original text, and thinking about something deeper.

If the Black Hawk Gang was indeed instigated by Gu Wenxiao, then given the Gu family's influence and audacity, they would never dare to commit such a ruthless act of extermination. Behind this, there must be the Emperor's tacit approval, or even his secret instruction.

The one who truly wanted to destroy both families was the emperor, who was high above them all. The Gu family was nothing more than a pawn used to take the blame for the emperor and carry out his orders.

Jiang Yutang's face grew increasingly pale, feeling as if she had been unwittingly drawn into a vortex of conspiracy.

No, the game had already begun when the original owner connected with Gu Wenxiao.

Cheng Lanzhou felt a strange sense of irritation as he looked at Jiang Yutang's silent demeanor; he actually wanted to hear her explanation.

While the Jiang family was still debating the veracity of the intelligence, Jiang Yutang suddenly looked up and met Cheng Lanzhou's direct gaze. There was no doubt or disgust in those eyes; he was simply looking at her quietly.

That look in her eyes was like that of a cat, and it suddenly stirred something in her heart.

Jiang Yutang pursed her lips and broke the argument, saying, "I don't understand why your Cheng family is still dwelling on these things at this time. Obviously, it's not just the Cheng family that was framed by the Gu family; aren't the ten members of the Jiang family also victims?"

Her tone was direct, without mincing words or leaving any room for negotiation: "Now is not the time for mutual suspicion. We are a victim alliance, and we must join forces to turn the tide and catch the other side off guard! If I really had the intention of colluding with you from the inside, why would I have helped you again and again? Wouldn't it have been better to just watch you die instead of joining forces from the beginning?"

Hearing this, Cheng Dai'er was furious and stood up abruptly, wanting to retort: ​​"Are you saying that our Cheng family can't reach Danzhou without you?!"

Jiang Yutang put her hands on her hips, tilted her head back, and retorted, "Just look at how much medicine and gauze your family used for me, isn't that enough?!"

Cheng Dai'er was speechless after being confronted, and seemed to feel guilty for a moment. After a long pause, she finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: "If it's not true, then who is the mysterious merchant who sent you the gift?"

Who else could it be but her, the kind-hearted savior!

Jiang Yutang didn't tolerate her and immediately retorted, "Does this mean that the Cheng family never touched the goods that the merchants sent? Why are you cursing as soon as you put down your bowl?"

"you--"

These words made Cheng Daier's face turn bright red, and she was completely speechless.

Lin tugged at her sleeve, gesturing for her to sit down: "Don't make a big fuss."

The two families fell silent for a moment, the atmosphere awkward and tense.

After a long pause, Cheng Lanzhou spoke slowly and calmly: "We can't believe everything that woman says, but we can't completely ignore it either."

"Question my ass!" Jiang Huaiyu stood up angrily. "I'll interrogate them again. Who knows if your information is true? We can't just listen to your one-sided story!"

Jiang Yutang also stood up and followed Jiang Huaiyu quickly, after all, she knew the biggest boss behind it all, and maybe she could get other useful information out of him.

The two walked quickly through the woods to the place where they had been tortured the night before.

Jiang Huaiyu, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. Jiang Yutang almost bumped into her. Just as she was about to peek out, Jiang Huaiyu quickly covered her eyes.

The bound woman was already lifeless, her body lying stiffly on the ground, not a single part of her body unharmed, her face contorted in a grotesque expression, clearly indicating that she had suffered extremely severe torture before her death.

Jiang Huaiyu sighed heavily: "Don't bother looking anymore, the person is already dead, there's nothing more to ask."
