Chapter 237 - 237 Questioning
“Didn’t you guys capture the three? We were urged to come here by them.”
“Yes, yes. We followed them all the way here.”
“We were planning to go south, but the three told us that Yunhe County had many mountains and rivers, so they told us to come here.”
As one spoke, all the refugees started talking simultaneously, and their voices were getting louder and louder. In the end, it was a mess.
Gu Chengrui had no choice but to raise his hand and shout. “That’s enough. All of you, shut up. Speak one by one.”
“Then how are we going to split the buns?”
“There are always more buns. We’ll give one to anyone as long as their information is useful.” Gu Chengrui asked, “Who was the one who said that you all were originally planning to go south, but those three people said here has many rivers and mountains and told you guys to come here instead?”
Someone immediately raised his hand and said, “I, I said it.”
“Very good. Stand to the side. The one who spoke first, go stand over there as well.” Gu Chengrui pointed to the wall on their left after he finished speaking.
As soon as he said that, the two people left the group.
Gu Chengrui continued, “Wait, and I’ll ask you all one by one. Whoever I ask must answer. So, you guys have to prepare what you want to say.”
After that, he took out a piece of paper and a quill from his first-aid box. He wrote down the names of the two people and what they said.
Then he asked the refugees one by one.
However, the rest of the information was useless to him.
In conclusion, he gathered two pieces of information. First, those three and their accomplices incited all the refugees who came to Yunhe County. They were here from Yanling County’s Kaiyang Residence.
Secondly, they had come to the manor to steal tonight because of the same three people’s instigation.
As the group of 20 or so refugees went to destroy the ‘wild vegetables’, the three people had gone to steal cattle and sheep. This was also the reason why they had fallen into the trap.
After Gu Chengrui was done tidying up, he immediately thought of someone. If he remembered correctly, Gu Ziyi’s ex-husband was the mayor of Yanling County.
Could it be that he had deliberately incited these refugees to come here? This matter had to be clearly investigated.
He turned to Zhou Ying. “Ying, tell Chang Shun to steam more buns. The two people in front will each get ten white-flour buns, while the others will each get ten black-flour buns.”
“I’ll go over while you can take a look at the cattle and sheep pens.” Zhou Ying responded and turned to go out.
Gu Chengrui nodded. He packed his things and followed her.
“Don’t go! When are you going to let us go?” Seeing that they were about to leave, someone immediately asked.
“When it’s time to release you, I’ll do so.” Zhou Ying replied and ignored them.
After settling the matters of the manor, Gu Chengrui gave Chang Shun a few bags of muscle relaxant powder. “If it gets hard to look after them, provide them with these muscle relaxants. Remember not to let them escape.
“Especially those three who are injured, don’t let them die.”
“How long should we lock them up for.”
“Latest until tomorrow night.
“In addition, have someone set up some more traps in case someone comes to attack at night.”
“Understood. I’ll have someone make the arrangements in a moment.”
After they left the manor, Gu Chengrui turned his head and said to Zhou Ying, “Babe, 1 have to go to the county to find County Mayor Kong, and I will come back tonight. You should rest in the restaurant and not go home.”
Zhou Ying knew he would complain about this and immediately nodded. “Alright, be careful..”
