"Report to your lord, twenty-one people were injured, two of them were seriously injured, the rest were slightly injured, no one was killed, and the thief was captured with minor injuries!"
Shen Hao was quite satisfied with the results of this battle. What was more important was that the damage to this alley was not great, and also because the Xuanqing Guards' martial law did not harm the people. This was the most important thing to pay attention to when operating in the imperial city. It was no wonder that he spent two and a half days setting it up, and everything went smoothly.
In fact, Shen Hao still underestimated Liao Er's strength. Not only was the opponent's cultivation level in the Yuan Dan realm, but his talisman skills were unheard of. Not only did he suppress Xuan Qingwei's most commonly used talisman attack, but he also used his strength to attack him. He used all his strength to suppress the masters of the Black Flag Camp who had formed an encirclement.
Although he had the help of formations and sufficient manpower, he could kill the opponent slowly if he was exhausted. However, just in case, or something unexpected happened where he jumped over the wall and suddenly committed suicide, Shen Hao still asked the two guards who were following him to come down and help capture him.
Another reason is that we don’t want to delay it too long and attract entanglement from the local government or the Ministry of Justice.
After two masters from the back realm of Yuan Dan joined the hunt, Liao Er's resistance was no longer effective. In just half a stick of incense, he was put on a special lock that restricted his cultivation. Originally, I was going to affix a talisman to imprison my cultivation, but thinking about this guy's secretive methods on the talisman before, I had to give it up just to be on the safe side.
After a large group of people from the Black Flag Battalion withdrew from the back alley and canceled the magic circle, the shops in the back alley ran out to take a look. They just found that the back door of their shop had disappeared, and they could not climb up the wall. , as if covered by an invisible cover, and there were sounds of fighting coming from behind the wall.
Now when I opened the door and went out, I saw an alley with charred and pitted ground, and blood stains in some places. I felt horrified, thinking I had encountered evil spirits, so I reported it to the official nervously. There was also an inconspicuous store clerk who disappeared in this strange incident.
Naturally, the news could not be hidden from the Ministry of Justice and the local government, but even if they knew that Xuanqing Guard was in action, they could not get a detailed report. They were only told that it was a secret mission, so they could only guess secretly in confusion.
...
If someone is arrested, he will definitely not return to Fengri City, but will be detained at Fu Shi Yamen in Jingxi Town. Firstly, it's close, and secondly, the defense force here is far stronger than the newly established Black Flag Camp Command Office in Fengri City, which can ensure that key criminals will not be kidnapped.
I thought Jiang Cheng would come over for a visit, but Jiang Cheng didn't show up from beginning to end. He seemed relieved and just waiting for the results.
And Shen Hao had already prepared. The most famous torture and murder experts from Fengri City, Lianfeng City, and Guangshun City were transferred over, and they used the torture instruments of the Jingxi Town Governor's Yamen to begin to extract confessions.
The good news is that this Liao Er is not the kind of evil monk with a bad brain. His mouth and brain are not sealed, and there is a possibility that something will come out through torture.
The bad news is that Liao Er's mouth is very tight. It is difficult to open his mouth in a short time. It will take some time and some psychological tricks.
Don't think that torture is just "beating people". There is a lot of knowledge in it. Every killer who is proficient in torture is a psychological and physical expert. He can control emotions such as "fear, worry, anger, hesitation" far better than The average person is much more accurate.
Even after confirming that Liao Er was not that kind of evil monk with a bad mind, several torturers and killers carefully compiled a torture plan for Shen Hao to review. They were full of confidence and high-spirited and prepared to bite Liao Er. This hard bone.
Side dishes, rest, hard dishes, rest, questioning, side dishes, questioning, hard dishes... The rules are only mastered by killing several torturers. The effect is not obvious at first, but soon you can sit down. Shen Hao, who had been personally participating in the torture room, felt the change in Liao Er's tone after the torture.
If you don't speak, you will suffer. If you don't speak again, you will suffer again. Slowly, silence will turn into cursing, then shouting, and finally sobbing...
It wasn't until there was a lot of urine and feces that Shen Hao went out to get some air. After another moment of burning incense, the killer inside came out to report that Liao Er had spoken. At this time, two days had passed since Liao Er was captured.
Just start talking and the rest will be easy.
Late that night, Liao Er had said all he needed to say. He was being held in a dungeon with a lock locked at all times, and a special stone pillar was used. The double insurance was worried that this guy would have some mysterious means to escape.
Shen Hao, on the other hand, spent the whole night sorting out the confessions he had obtained, preparing to report them to Jiang Cheng for review after he went to work at dawn.
First of all, Liao Er is indeed a pseudonym. This person's real name is Zhou Yue. He is a fifth-level Yuandan realm monk under the Xueyi sect of Wushou City. To be precise, he is a well-known Talisman Master.
As Shen Hao had judged, Zhou Yue was indeed a descendant of the talented talisman master Ye Jiao, and his apprentice was one of Ye Jiao's two apprentices, Lin Qinghong.
However, Shen Hao guessed something wrong. Zhou Yue did not come to the imperial city because of the appointment of the Blood Clothes Sect or the command of his master. Instead, he accepted Yang Wenguang's invitation and came to help as a "friend". Of course, there were some practical benefits and promises.
Even according to Zhou Yue, although the people of the Bloody Clothes Sect knew about Yang Wenguang's affairs, they had no actual support. His master Lin Qinghong even maintained an alienated attitude towards Yang Wenguang. Therefore, although there is a relationship between Yang Wenguang and the Bloody Clothes Sect of Wusi City, the Bloody Clothes Sect was not involved in his behavior of infiltrating the "big exam" this time.
At least that's what Zhou Yue said, but whether it's true or not is still unknown.
In addition, King Qian and King Lu were indeed the subordinates of Zhou Yue, and they used his best method of "merging skills into words" to melt the "Nine Skills to Scatter the Soul Curse" into the seal of a wine bottle. , when the sealing mud is unscrewed, he slowly uses the seal to penetrate into the opponent's soul, and finally kills him by scattering the soul.
The so-called storybook before was just a cover-up trick arranged by Zhou Yue to lead clues from the Wang family wine shop to the bookstore and King Lu, so as to hide himself and prepare for the opportunity.
Of course, the clues left behind are also hidden enough. If it was not found out that King Qian liked to read the "story book", Zhou Yue would not care. He just lost an excuse to frame the blame and would just find another opportunity.
In the words Yang Wenguang told Zhou Yue: Concealment is the most important, killing is the second most important, and the rest are optional without forcing.
As for the subsequent killing of King Lu, according to Zhou Yue, it was a temporary move, and after killing King Lu, he would need to change his identity. Anyway, he has the art of disguise, so who knows when he will look like a middle-aged man? I just didn't expect Xuan Qingwei to find him so quickly.
Apart from these, Zhou Yue knew very little about Yang Wenguang's affairs and plans. He only knew that Yang Wenguang was here for revenge. He didn't know what the specific plan was. He only heard that Yang Wenguang said that he wanted to "take back what should belong to him." I guess Lai Yin is trying to seize the throne of Jing Jiu Dynasty, right? This is what Zhou Yueru thought.
