In the cell in Yangchuan County, Liu Dao was tied to a cross-shaped wooden stake. His face was drooping and his head was drooping. If he hadn't had to breathe, those who didn't know would think he was dead.

In fact, he woke up once in the middle, but because his voice was too loud, it made people feel annoying, so he was slapped by Xu Luo again.

There was also a brazier next to the wooden stake, with several soldering irons inside, and the head of the soldering iron was burned red.

Chen Yue sat casually in front of the wooden stake and waved his hand gently. Xu Luo next to him picked up a bucket of cold water and poured it on Liu Dao's body:

"Puff~"

In this cold winter, a basin of cold water made Liu Dao wake up instantly, and he couldn't help but tremble.

After glanced at the surrounding situation, Liu Dao's eyes were red and he roared: "Let me go! I have a face-to-face fight with me!"

"Play!"

Xu Luo slapped his face twice, and the heavy force made Liu Dao's cheeks swollen visible to the naked eye.

Pei Nong and Chang Fangyi observed Liu Dao's expression changes from left to right. No matter how he looked, this guy didn't look like an ordinary guard, but more like a soldier who joined the army.

Liu Dao was slapped twice and finally stopped howling. He just stared at Chen Yue in front of him with big eyes, and then asked viciously:

"Where are my subordinates in the Wu family's mansion? I'm afraid they were killed by you too?"

"Hmph, just their three-legged cat skills, can we escape?" Xu Luo snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain.

Liu Dao's eyes were even more angry. He not only hated Chen Yue, but also the idiot young master of the Wu family. If it weren't for causing trouble, how could he be exposed?

Pei Nong whispered: "I honestly tell you who you are, or you may be able to survive. If you are forced to speak, you will suffer the following. There are some ways for you to speak in the prison cells in Yangchuan County."

“Haha~”

Liu Dao sneered: "If you want to kill, you will cut it. If I frown, I will lose!"

"snort!"

Chang Fang took the scalded iron and pressed it hard on Liu Dao's chest.

"Sher~"

“Ahhhh~”

The burnt iron blocks were printed on the flesh and blood, and the pain was not something that ordinary people could withstand.

Liu Dao wailed in an instant, struggling on the painful wooden stake, and kept muttering:

"Kill me, kill me!"

Chen Yue asked calmly: "Which family do you belong to? Yuwen? Dugu? Or who?"

Liu Dao was stunned and looked at Chen Yue in disbelief, murmured: "No, it's impossible, how could you know! Impossible!"

"There is nothing impossible, you are more than you who can talk." Chang Fang sneered from the side.

"Damn it, this old mistress of the Wu family!" Liu Dao's eyes suddenly turned red. Wu Song was the only one who knew their identities. Who could it be if he didn't say it?

"Haha~" Chen Yue smiled casually: "So what's the point of holding on? I said that I may still leave you a way out."

"Just die, what's the fear?" Liu Dao laughed unrestrainedly: "What can you do if you know? Don't think of anything useful in my mouth!"

Chen Yue's eyes flashed with surprise, but he didn't expect this guy to be able to withstand it.

"Damn it, you kid are a little too arrogant!" The irritable Chang Fang grabbed Liu Dao's collar and reached out and slapped him several times in the face.

Chang Fang was already full of anger, so he was naturally extremely ruthless when he started.

"Smack!"

"Haha, good fight! Good fight!" Liu Dao smiled more and more rampantly, and a trace of blood kept oozing out from the corners of his mouth.

"alright!"

Chen Yue shouted lightly: "Press it down!"

"promise!"

Several military soldiers pressed down Liu Dao, who was beaten to the point of being beaten, and Chen Yue knew that it would be difficult to ask something in his mouth today.

Pei Nong bowed and said, "Prince, if they were from Longxi, they would be..."

Pei Nong did not say it clearly, but he guessed in his heart that it was probably a secret spy sent by the Yuwen family to Beiliang.

"I know~" Chen Yue responded lightly. After wandering around the house for two times, Chen Yue continued: "Everyone of the Wu family was locked up, and Wang Zong was removed from his official position and was pressed to the prison to wait for his death.

I sent someone to carefully search every inch of the Wu family to see if there was any valuable information, including those who had close contact with the Wu family, they also had to check it!

As for what happened in Yangchuan County, you must not let go of any news!"

"promise!"

Pei Nong and Chang Fang responded in a deep voice and hurried out of the cell.

Chen Yue lay on the chair, closing his eyes slightly, constantly thinking about the whole thing. It was not what he cared about Wu Liang's arrogance, but the key was that Liu Dao had too many doubts.

Could it be that the merchants in Yangchuan County have contacts with the Yuwen family in Longxi? This may make sense, otherwise why Wu Song was respectful to Liu Dao, it was nothing more than being afraid of the forces behind him.

After pondering for a long time, Chen Yue waved gently. Xu Luo hurried to his side and asked in a low voice: "What are the instructions of the prince?"

Chen Yue whispered: "Send someone to Liangzhou City and inform Wentian Si Huangfu Yanling to take over the matter in person!"

"promise!"

...

When night fell, Chen Yue, who had not closed his eyes for two consecutive days, finally returned to an inn in Yangchuan County, and Ma Ling'er stayed here for a while to rest.

Seeing Chen Yue coming back, Ma Ling'er quickly got up and asked:

"How is it?"

Chen Yue smiled bitterly: "I can only say that I have a little clue, but I haven't figured out who it is."

Then Chen Yue repeated everything. Ma Ling'er was obviously surprised when she heard that the head of the Wu family committed suicide by taking poison. This was something she had not expected.

"It is not impossible if it really comes from the Yuwen family in Longxi. The aristocratic families in the capital have long been afraid of Liangdi. Yangchuan County is also a wealthy place in Liangzhou. It is normal to send some spies to inquire about the news." Ma Ling'er analyzed softly.

"I know."

Chen Yue nodded. Ma Ling'er's speculation was exactly the same as what he thought, so he sent Wentiansi to thoroughly investigate the matter.

"Oh, it's really annoying. I've been shopping all the time and it actually caused so many things." Ma Ling'er said with a pout.

Originally, Wu Liang, a vulgar guy, jumped out, was annoying enough, but he didn't expect that he would still have something to do with Longxi now.

Chen Yue reached out and hugged Ma Ling'er in his arms, and said casually: "Okay, don't think about it. Just leave this matter to me. Have a good sleep tonight and we will go back to Liangzhou City tomorrow morning."

"Yes!" Ma Ling'er nodded heavily.

Chen Yue murmured in his heart while holding the beauty:
Chapter completed!
