After waiting for another quarter of an hour, the three men came out and said, "Go back to the general, have you found the whereabouts of that man?"

"Where does the tunnel lead to?"

"It's in a dry well about a mile outside the house."

"Then expand the scope of the search. That person is the seventh child of the Su family, Su Mingtang."

"Understood." The three of them agreed, and then took someone out to find someone.

And Zhou Huaiming took Qiao Lansheng back to his village, and took him into the dungeon for an overnight interrogation.

It's a pity that Qiao Lansheng's mouth was still quite stiff, so he didn't spit out.

In the end, he had to adopt the method discovered by Shopkeeper Liu, put some sugar on his wound, and then threw him on the grass.

Sure enough, after a while, his wound was covered with ants, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get rid of it.

Soon he tasted the real taste of ten thousand ants gnawing, and wanted to bite his tongue several times to kill himself, but he was so weak that he couldn't die even if he wanted to.

Just when he felt that he was going to be tortured to death, Zhou Huaiming said, "If you want to recruit, just nod your head, or raise your legs."

After finishing speaking, turn around and leave.

Qiao Lansheng struggled even harder when he heard that, and after several attempts, he finally lifted his tied legs high.

When Zhou Huaiming heard his subordinate's reply, he turned his head and said, "Remember, I don't have time to spend here with you. You only have one chance, otherwise you will only be eaten away by ants."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand to his subordinates.

Several subordinates immediately took a towel with pepper water and drove the ants away, and then simply cleaned his wound.

After Qiao Lansheng recovered, the interrogation began.

However, what he knew was really limited, but he still confessed a few more people, three of whom were hiding in the defenders, one was the master of the county government, and Li Butou and others below.

After Zhou Huai remembered it, his mood was quite complicated, because he really checked these people seriously when he checked them before, but he didn't find the slightest flaw.

If he hadn't recruited them today, it would have taken a lot of effort to find these people.

After that, he quickly sent people over to arrest him, otherwise the real danger would be County Magistrate Kong.

Sure enough, when his men arrived, the master was about to take magistrate Kong to escape, but he was finally arrested.

As for Fang Mingtang, he did not find any news until five days later.

Later, when Zhou Huaiming went down the tunnel, he discovered that there was a secret room inside the tunnel, which contained some simple daily necessities. Only then did he know that Su Mingtang might have escaped long ago.

Of course, this is something to say later, but after a night of hard work, including several well-known people such as Wang Quan, everyone in Su Mingtang's county has been arrested.

At the same time, Gu Chengrui and his wife didn't sleep well that night. Zhou Huaiming, who had promised to come over to get the blueprints, didn't show up, nor did he find anyone.

They were really afraid that something would happen to him, and they would be in danger then.

It wasn't until the next morning, when Zhou Huaiming went to the restaurant exhausted to have breakfast, that Zhou Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and then gave him a bowl of Yangchun noodles and two poached eggs.

After he finished eating, Zhou Ying asked, "Brother Zhou, are you okay?"

"Fortunately, I was busy all night last night, and I didn't come in time to get the blueprints, so I came here specially to say, let's go get them this evening."

"That's good, there's no rush about the drawings."

"Well, then you are busy, I have to go back and take a nap." After Zhou Huaiming finished speaking, he got up and stretched before going out.
