Chapter 679: Chapter 679: Judgment_1

As Nan Feng’s words fell, the prison doors opened again, bringing in a few more individuals. They were all from different walks of life.

One of them seemed to be a woodcarver; Nan Feng had been to his house. He was a supplier for Qin Kun’s fake Imperial Palace.

There were also some other lumber merchants. Nan Feng wondered if they were the ones her brother had been investigating before.

Thus, Nan Feng spent two days in the jail, eating stale food without a blanket. She sneezed throughout the night, but at least there was gender separation during restroom time.

The air in the prison was poor. To prevent prisoners from escaping, the windows were nailed shut, and the inside air was damp. Consequently, Nan Feng quickly fell ill, feeling dizzy.

Two days later, almost everyone in the town had been captured. Only then did someone come over to drag them to the interrogation room for questioning, one by one.

Everyone asked the person returning from the interrogation: "How was it, what did they ask?"

The questions were similar for everyone. They asked about their actions and contacts with Qin Kun during this period, the benefits they had given him, and if there was anyone involved.

Then it was Nan Feng’s turn.

Song Cheng had already been transferred to the north, and Nan Feng didn’t recognize anyone from the Inspection Mansion, especially the current Interrogation Officer.

He seemed to have a Capital City accent; he was probably sent from there. His eyes were sharp, indicating that he was experienced.

"What’s your name?"

"Nan Feng," because of the cold, her voice was heavy with nasal tone.

"How old are you?"

"Seventeen."

"Are you the branch president of the Business Association? From the Rouge Line?"

"Yes, sir, from the Rouge Line," Nan Feng replied.

"Have you seen Qin Kun?"

"Yes."

"How many times?"

"I’ve seen...about five or six times," Nan Feng said. In fact, she was not sure about the exact count, but it should have been more than five or six times.

After replying, she sneezed consecutively.

The Interrogation Officer noted down the details, after which he looked at Nan Feng sharply: "Only five or six times? On what occasions?"

"To answer you, sir, sometimes on the road, sometimes at the Association. On the road, it was coincidental and at the Association, it was because there was an event, like a book reading session."

The Officer flipped through some documents: "According to the records, during Qin Kun’s time in the province, you invested two thousand taels of silver into his Silver Bank, took over as the president of the Rouge Line, ran errands for him, and managed fifty shops in the Provincial City. Is this true?"

"Sir, I didn’t want to do any of this, it’s all..."

"Whether you wanted is irrelevant. Since you didn’t want to, why did you do it?"

"To be honest, in order not to work for Qin Kun, I even pretended to be sick to avoid him for some time."

The Officer probably had a decision in mind, calling them for questioning was just to draw more information from them.

"Alright, get out. Next."

"..." Nan wanted to say something else, but the Officer did not pay any further attention to her and just ordered her to be taken back to the cell.

...

After the interrogations were over, names were called from a list. Those whose names were called were moved to another cell.

"Qi Miao, Batian, Song Zhi... go to Cell One, quickly," a jailer ordered.

Nan Feng and President Wan were left in the original cell.
