In the dry prison cell, painful screams could be heard continuously.
Hidden under the screams were the sounds of whips and iron irons.
Li Xuan calmly walked into the interrogation room. The scarlet fire light illuminated the entire interrogation room, and the smell of blood hit his face.
Four black pawns were hung on the wall. In just a short moment, the four of them were beaten to a bloody pulp.
Seven-star whips, rib knives, bone spurs, and many other kinds of torture instruments were placed on the table.
Li Xuan stood at the door, looking sideways at Zhang Huan, and asked calmly: "Is there anything special among these people today?"
"Yes!" Zhang Huan chuckled, then walked to the middle of the four people and grabbed the face of the person on the left.
This is a middle-aged man in his thirties with fair skin and somewhat three-dimensional facial features.
But at this time, there were whip marks on his face, and blood stains flowed from the corners of his mouth.
Zhang Huan grabbed his long hair, looked at the black soldiers around him, and said with a sneer: "Every time this person is beaten, several other people seem to feel the same and always look up."
"He's still a big shot." Li Xuan nodded, looked at the other black pawns with stunned expressions, waved his hand and said, "In that case, let's greet him properly and add two more people."
All of a sudden, the two Qianniu Guards who were torturing the others immediately stepped forward, all their eyes fixed on the middle-aged black pawn.
At this moment, a burst of footsteps sounded outside the door.
Two officers from the Criminal Department, as well as Xu Baotou from the Hangzhou Governor's Office, came in from outside under the leadership of Zhou Qian.
When they saw the three people being tortured on the wall, their expressions did not change at all, as if they had seen it all before.
The two palm guards from the Punishment Department turned around and raised their hands to Li Xuan: "Gao Ping and Leng Lin from the Punishment Department have met the King of Nanchang."
The tall one is Gao Ping, and the short one is Leng Lin.
"You're welcome." Li Xuan waved her hands carelessly, looked sideways at Zhou Qian, and said, "I'll go through the formalities for a few of you. The others will be handed over first. The four on the wall will wait a moment."
"Here!" Zhou Qian looked at Gao Ping and Leng Lin, raised his eyes and asked, "Who is going with me?"
"I'll go." Leng Lin stood up and Li Xuan waved her hands, focusing on the person on the wall.
At this time, Li Xuan suddenly waved his hand and said in a cold voice: "Separate these four people into one interrogation room and conduct questioning in one interrogation room?"
"Here!" The Qianniu Guards around them immediately stepped forward and separated all four of them.
Although the four people did not scream, there was a hint of fear in their eyes.
A moment later, Li Xuan walked into a cell alone, and the person inside was the middle-aged black soldier from before.
Li Xuan instantly picked up a red soldering iron and walked up to him.
The flaming red iron kept shaking in front of his skin, and the scorching temperature could be clearly felt, but the iron refused to fall on his body, completely lifting people's hearts.
"So your name is Wenyi. You must have been at the east gate of the city that day. Your eldest brother Wen Zhong died in our hands during the previous siege. Now you only need to tell me that Wen Xu is hiding in Wherever you go, I will give you a chance to kill your enemy." Li Xuan's voice was very soft, but like the devil's voice, it penetrated directly into Wen Yi's mind.
Wen Yi raised his head sharply and stared at Li Xuan.
It has been two months since Wusheng Heizhu escaped into Tianmu Mountain, but during these two months, the government's pursuit has never stopped.
It was okay at first, but when the Hangzhou Prefecture's police officers, officers, and even people from the Criminal Department came, they couldn't do anything about it.
After the three thousand soldiers in Li Xuan's hands were trained and formed, they quickly devoted themselves to suppressing bandits in the mountains.
A mere hundred people were killed in the first confrontation by the newly trained soldiers.
Wen Zhong died in the battle that time, but few black soldiers were captured alive, and even if they were arrested, no one spoke. These black soldiers were very tough-mouthed.
several times after
During the siege, the black pawns' losses became more and more serious.
The officers and soldiers seemed to be able to directly locate their positions and directly hunt them down again and again.
Now only Wen Yi's second brother Wen Xiao is still on the run.
The black pawns around Wen Xiao were probably all dead long ago.
Wen Yi shut his mouth tightly. No matter what Li Xuan said, he just didn't speak.
At this moment, Wen Yi suddenly saw Li Xuan blocking the line of sight behind him. He deliberately came closer and lowered his voice and said, "Where are you talking about? Where is Wen Xu? Anning, Anningfang in the north of the city?"
Seeing Li Xuan finish speaking inexplicably, and then turn around and back away, Wen Yi suddenly understood, suddenly opened his mouth, and shouted loudly: "No, he is not in An Ning Fang, is he not in An Ning Fang?"
With a "boom" sound, the sharp long sword swung violently, and the iron chains on both sides broke instantly.
Wen Yi suddenly fell to the ground, and the long sword from before also fell in front of his eyes.
Then I heard Li Xuan say coldly: "I promised you to give you a chance. Now as long as you kill me, Wen Xu can escape from An Ningfang..."
Before Li Xuan's voice fell, Wen Yi had already grabbed the long sword and rushed towards Li Xuan.
But...two sharp sword lights flashed, and then the sword fell to the ground. Wen Yi was stunned on the spot. Two cuts had been cut on his wrists.
Li Xuan turned around and walked towards the door. At the same time, he shouted in a low voice: "Order Qianniu Guards and Jinwu Guards to take action collectively to search An Ningfang!"
"Ah, no..." An extremely angry voice sounded from behind, and a figure rushed towards Li Xuan fiercely.
At this time, with a "whoosh" sound, a crossbow arrow suddenly shot out from Li Xuan's ear and shot directly into Wen Yi's chest.
"The prisoner committed suicide and his subordinates were forced to shoot him." Su Baotong handed over to Li Xuan.
Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the astonished Gao Ping on one side, and said with a cold face: "Let's go, Gao Zhanggu, you heard me, the person is hiding in An Ningfang, as long as we catch the person this time, you Then I can go back to Chang'an for business."
The corner of Gao Ping's mouth twitched slightly, but he finally cupped his hands to Li Xuan and said, "I obey the order."
"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded, and then walked quickly outside. Outside, Qianniu Guard and Jinwu Guard were all ready.
Gao Ping fell at the end and glanced at Wen Yi, who was lying on the ground with his eyes open, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's such an injustice to die!"
Today's scene seems a bit strange to Gao Ping. The King of Nanchang simply separated the four people, and soon someone revealed Wen Yi's identity. Wen Yi was forced by Li Xuan to directly reveal Wen Xu's identity. Hideout.
The smoothness is somewhat incredible, and the smoothness is somewhat unbelievable.
Although Gao Ping suspected that there was something fishy in this, he didn't know how to figure it out.
Wen Yi is already dead, so it is difficult to make any progress if we try to find out something.
Forget it, Wen Yi turned around and quickly left the cell.
Xu Baotou of Hangzhou Prefecture asked some of his men to take the new soldiers of King Nanchang to transfer other black soldiers to the state prison. He himself took another part of his men, followed Leng Lin, and Qianniu Guards Jinwu Guards, and quickly He rushed to An Ningfang.
Gao Ping quickly joined Leng Lin, and when there were few people around, he explained the matter in detail.
After hearing his question, Leng Lin looked at him in surprise: "Don't you know, the King of Nanchang has always been good at manipulating people's hearts. Such things rarely escape his means."
Gao Ping's face was full of astonishment, this fool.
There is no way to investigate this matter further.
In Anningfang in the north of Hangzhou City, with the sound of morning bells and evening drums, people returned home quickly, and the sky gradually became dark.
Under the square gate, the lights are brightly lit.
A group of Qianniu Guards and Jinwu Guards have completely divided the entire An Ningfang.
Li Xuan looked at the headmaster standing in front of him, pointed to Xu Captou next to him, and said lightly: "This is Xu Captou from the state government. Now
Yuan Sima and Hu Changshi are in charge of all legal affairs in the state government, so..."
"Your Majesty has a question, and I will tell you everything I know." The director licked his lips and quickly handed over his hand.
Li Xuan nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then asked: "In the entire Anning Fong, has any house or house been robbed in recent months?"
"It was stolen?" Although the head of the house was a little confused, he still said respectfully: "Most of Anning Fang is the property purchased here by some officials who once served in Hangzhou, such as Yuan Governor, no, Yuan Dudu."
Li Xuan waved her hand directly and said, "I understand what you mean, continue."
"Here!" The head of the square slightly cupped his hands, then stood up straight and said in a deep voice: "Most of the people living in the square now are the servants of these Shangguan officials. There are indeed some servants with unclean hands and feet, such as Zhao Si of the Li family. Xu Liu from the Wang family occasionally steals things and sells them secretly without the owner paying attention, so we don’t have to ask too many questions.”
Looking up and seeing Li Xuan not saying a word, the director continued: "Apart from these, not many outsiders come into our place. If something is stolen by outsiders, we can basically find it after reporting it to the official." .”
"Also, are there any other things that make you feel strange?"
"Something strange?" The director was slightly startled, and subconsciously looked towards a certain mansion deep inside the workshop.
"explain!"
"Yes!" The director shuddered suddenly, and then said quickly: "That's the Li Mansion. In the middle of last month, Zhao Si suddenly said that there was a thief in the house. The old man asked him what he had lost, and he said he lost it yesterday. Two pieces of cake, and half a pot of porridge missing the day before yesterday, was said to have been stolen, but he couldn't explain how it was stolen. The old man said that he had seen a ghost, how could anyone steal these things, and then he said nothing more. Already."
Li Xuan looked sideways at Gao Ping and Leng Lin, and asked, "What do you two think is going on?"
"Someone is hiding in his house." Gao Ping was extremely sure.
"Then why are you still standing there?" Li Xuan waved her hand and said coldly: "Seal down the Li family's house and the two nearby houses, and search them one by one."
A large group of Qianniu Guards and Jinwu Guards immediately headed in the direction of Li Zhai.
Li Xuan and Xu Baotou, as well as Gao Ping and Leng Lin were last.
Li Xuan glanced at the director and asked calmly: "Which Li family is this Li family?"
The headmaster quickly raised his hand and said, "Oh, it's a British public house. This house is the property of a British public house."
"Well, Li Jingye?" Li Xuan suddenly stopped and asked with surprise: "As far as I know, no one from the Li family has ever worked in Hangzhou. Why did they buy a house in Hangzhou?"
