At the same time, Brother Peng was also carried to the tiny house that Uncle Nian had lived in before. He was locked up in the storeroom.
Sun Hongliang walked up to Informant No. 1 and Informant No. 2 and asked, “Who are you? You’re with that guy just now.”
“No, no, no.” Informant No. 2 shook his head. After realizing Brother Peng was being carried away, he replied, “We’re Constable Zhang’s informers. He was the one who asked us to mix with the refugees.
“We were there to check if someone stirred up trouble among the refugees.
“Yes, yes, it’s that person, Brother Peng, who led the way for the refugees.
“He also urged the refugees to come and steal the cattle and sheep. He even said that they would enter the mountains after taking them.
“Also, we just saw him trying to spike your well.” Informant No. 1 added.
“Yes, it’s a small medicine paper bag, but we don’t know what medicine it is.” Informant No. 2 echoed.
“Constable Zhang’s men? I’ll have to inconvenience you two for one night, then. We’ll let you go after we’ve verified the truth tomorrow.” Sun Hongliang hesitated momentarily, then handed them over to Uncle Nian with a bow and arrow.
That’s right, the arrows were shot by him, and it was also one of his special skills.
It was meant to be used to kill the huge beasts coming down from the mountains.
When Uncle Nian saw this, he dragged them to the cowshed and tied them to a pillar.
Only then did Informant No. 1 realize that the refugees were all holding their heads and constantly screaming.
There were also others at the side tied up like animals.
“Uncle, did you already know they were coming?” he asked Uncle Nian.
“There are so many cattle and sheep in the village. Do you think we’ll be unprepared?” The old man laughed coldly.
“That’s true.” Informant No. 1 chuckled and didn’t say anything else.
After all the refugees were tied up and gathered together, Sun Hongliang came forward and said, “1’11 give you a chance to redeem yourselves. Otherwise, I’ll have to do as Lord Bai ordered and send you to the army.”
When he finished speaking, someone shouted rudely, “Cut the crap! If you want to send us the army, so be it. At least I won’t starve to death.”
Sun Hongliang ignored him and turned to the others, “So? Do you all have the same idea? If so, 1’11 fulfill your wish tomorrow.”
The refugees muttered to themselves, but most didn’t want to go when they thought about the battlefield’s cruelty.
“Just tell us what you want to know,” someone shouted. “We’ll tell you everything we know.”
“Alright. I’ll release one person for each question you answer. Think about it carefully.” Sun Hongliang asked, “Was it Brother Peng who told you to come over tonight to steal the livestock?”
“Yes, he said there was food in the mountains, so we came to this area. But we have turned the mountain upside down these past few days, and there is nothing except tree bark and leaves.
“Later, when we complained to him, he said that there were a lot of cattle and sheep here, so we came.”
Sun Hongliang pointed at him, and someone immediately took him out.
Seeing this, the others became anxious, and they all perked up their ears to listen to the next question.
Sun Hongliang nodded in satisfaction. “Next, when did Brother Peng start following you guys, or has he always been with you guys?”
“I know, I know! He only got together with us after the snowstorm. He said the snowstorm destroyed his house, so he became a refugee.”
The man was immediately taken out after he finished speaking.
“Then, besides bringing you here, did he say anything else? Or did he have a family?” Sun Hongliang asked..
