Chang Feng's next words were a bit heartbreaking.

He said to the old cripple: "Old senior, you are a resounding hard bone and a copper pea."

"But the child you adopted is still young and his bones haven't grown yet."

"If I use the tiger bench method on him, I am afraid that with only two bricks, he will become a cripple who cannot walk in his life."

The old lame man yelled: "Beast!"

Fatty Xu looked at Chang Feng with a fearful look. His best friend for three years was now so cold-blooded that he felt strange.

In fact, Chang Feng was just a threat. He wouldn't actually hurt the kid.

If he did this, what would be the difference between him and his fellow evil beasts from Beizhen Fusi whom he despised?

He was betting that the little boy was to the old lame man what candy was to him.

Chang Feng pretended to have a relaxed expression, as if he was talking about a kitten or puppy rather than a living child.

He smiled and said: "Old senior. In addition to blood ties, there is also family ties. Sometimes, family ties are stronger than blood ties."

"Although that little kid is not related to you by blood, he is still related to you by family."

"If you don't tell me, that's fine. I'll kill you and cripple his legs. He'll be cut off by the beggar gang."

"If he goes to the street to beg for food, I don't know how many kind-hearted people will give him money."

Beggar gangs like to abduct children from poor families and break their hands and feet in order to win the sympathy of passers-by and ask for money. This is called "picking and cutting".

After Chang Feng said these words... he was disgusted by the shamelessness and cold-bloodedness in his words.

The old lame man couldn't bear the four bricks stacked on the tiger bench, and his psychological defense was completely defeated.

His adopted son was his destiny. It is the only meaning of his existence in the world.

He is over sixty years old. It stands to reason that in the snitch business, one should have quit at this age.

But to save more money for his adopted son, he decided to save two thousand taels of silver before retiring. After retiring, he took his adopted son to Ji'an, Jiangxi.

Because Ji'an, Jiangxi Province is three thousand miles away from the capital, no one there knows him.

And he heard that Ji'an is the place with the most prosperous culture in Jiangnan. The Song Dynasty had Ouyang Xiu, and this dynasty had Xie Jin.

Although the old cripple was illiterate all his life, he admired scholars.

After he retired, he planned to use money to support his son to study in Ji'an and become a different person...

However, he has already saved one thousand eight hundred taels of silver, and he only needs one more job to retire. But fell into Chang Feng's hands.

He decided to go against his conscience for the sake of his adopted son. Reveal the hidden secrets of Miaoshoumen.

What Chang Feng just said is right. In this world, family ties are sometimes stronger than blood ties.

Emperor Jing was the younger brother of Yingzong. Why did the younger brother imprison his elder brother in Nangong for eight years?

Although the old lame man and his adopted son are not related by blood, he is willing to betray his lifelong loyalty to the Miaoshou Sect for the sake of his adopted son.

The old lame man first scolded Chang Feng: "Straight bitch!" Then he said: "Just ask whatever you want."

Chang Feng asked: "Did someone from Miaoshoumen go to the criminal Cai Zhong's house tonight and steal a letter box in front of Jin Yiwei?"

The old lame man said: "I don't know. Although the Miaoshou Sect has only thirty-six disciples, they don't know each other. Only the leader knows the identities of the disciples."

"Furthermore, only the master can give orders to his disciples to do things alone. If a disciple does things privately, he will be killed according to the sect's rules."

Chang Feng nodded: "It is said that the Miaoshoumen can retrieve objects from the air. How is it done? Don't talk about raising a kid to fool people."

The old cripple said: "It's simple. You use the thing hanging on your waist."

Chang Feng was surprised: "Crossbow?"

The old cripple nodded slightly.

Fatty Xu said from the side: "Who are you trying to coax? This thing can retrieve things from afar?"

The old cripple explained: "The crossbow of Miaoshoumen is called Kongkong Crossbow."

"It is different from ordinary crossbows. There are barbs on the crossbow arrows, and there is a fishing reel on the side of the crossbow, which is connected to the mechanism box. The fishing line is tied to the crossbow arrows."

"For example, if you want to steal a letter box, you just need to shoot the crossbow arrow, and the crossbow arrow will go into the box, and the barb will hook into the box. The mechanism box will retract the fishing line."

"It seems that the letter box disappeared out of thin air. In fact, it was caught by the empty crossbow like fishing."

Chang Feng was speechless: "How fast the line can be retracted, and how exquisite the mechanism box is!"

The old cripple said: "The Kongkong Crossbow was first made by our ancestor Lu Ban. It is naturally exquisite. It is said that he stole the King of Chu's military talisman with the Kongkong Crossbow."

Since ancient times, when interrogating prisoners, prisoners will grit their teeth and not say a word until their psychological defenses are broken.

Once the psychological defense line is broken, the prisoner will not only confess the crime he committed, but even reveal that he stole melons from the Wang family and took needles from the Li family when he was a child.

The old cripple is in this state now. Now that you have given in, you have nothing to hide and you can tell everything you know.

Chang Feng said: "Okay. Originally, my third question was to ask where the letter box is."

"Since you were not involved in this matter, you naturally don't know the answer. Let me change the question - who is the leader of the Miaoshou Sect?"

Just now the old lame man said that only the master can give orders to his disciples alone. The leader must know where the letter box is.

The old lame man was stunned and silent.

Chang Feng said something even more evil than before: "Actually, it would be a pity to destroy the baby's legs. Cutting off the lower part and sending her to the palace as a little eunuch is also a good choice."

The old lame man's eyes could kill people at this moment: "You! Beast!"

Chang Feng smiled and said: "The old man is right. The civil servants' robes of the Ming Dynasty were painted with birds, while the military officers' robes were painted with beasts."

"Those of us who have become officials are just like beasts in disguise."

"It's really easy for a beast in clothes to torture a child of just a few years old."

The old cripple whispered something. Chang Feng, whose voice was so small, couldn't hear clearly at all.

Chang Feng asked: "Old senior, what did you say?"

The old cripple said with a dying breath: "Our leader is...Yihonglou, Saitanghong."

Chang Feng was surprised: "Is your boss from Yihonglou?"

Fatty Xu patted his head next to him: "Oh my God! It's her! Master Chang, you even met her tonight!"

Chang Feng asked: "Who is it?"

Fatty Xu said: "That's the goblin who sang "Zhang Sheng's Fifth Watch" in the hall!"

Chang Feng raised his hand towards the old cripple: "Old senior, I have offended you tonight. I will ask your shopkeeper to untie the rope for you after dawn."

"There are more than a dozen taels of silver on the counter. Just think of it as compensation for your soup and medicine."

"Your leg is just a broken bone. Let the bone setter fix it, and you can get out of bed after a hundred days. It can't be crippled, but you can't be a snitch in the future."

"Not being a snitch is not necessarily a bad thing for you and your adopted son!"

Chang Feng and Fatty Xu left the Qingsong Coffin Shop.

There are still two hours and three quarters before dawn.

Two hours and three quarters later, Ruo still hasn't found the letter box. What awaits Chang Feng will be eternal disaster.

The two of them led Hu Zi out of Fulu Street and went straight to Yihong Tower.

On the way, Chang Feng asked Fatty Xu a question: "Is Saitanghong a prostitute but not a prostitute?"

Fatty Xu's answer puzzled Chang Feng: "She is a prostitute as well as a prostitute. But she only accepts strong men. She said she was afraid that her body would be too weak to bear it, and she would die on her bed immediately."

Changfeng is strange. The Miaoshou Sect is so famous in the capital, and the female leader is definitely not someone who is short of money.

Why would she commit herself to Yihonglou and become a piece of shit that could be ridden by thousands of people?
