Jizhou.

The middle-aged man sat in the torture room without being shackled or tortured. He sat quietly on the stool and looked around from time to time.

On the wall behind him, there were some things he had never seen before, guessing about some strange torture instruments.

It has been at least half an hour since he was taken to this torture room, and no one has been here, which doesn't seem to be a good thing.

At this time, he felt that he should think carefully about how to deal with it.

After thinking about it, I found that it doesn’t make much sense to think about it.

Just look at how ruthless Zhang Tang was to deal with the people in Shanheyin, and you will know what the attitude of King Ning Li Chi.

When Zhang Tang was launched, it is easy to imagine how much resistance Ning Wang encountered.

The civil and military officials under his command would think this was a joke.

Such an important errand was handed over to an inexperienced and young waiter to do... What is this not a joke?

But who would have thought about how little King Ning had to leave in this matter?

Only people like Zhang Tang can do things in awesome way.

If any official under King Ning had a similar origin, even if he had a cold and miserable background, he would never have been like Zhang Tang to investigate the case.

Just as I was thinking about this, the door creaked open.

The middle-aged man looked up and looked out. The sunlight first entered his eyes, making him a little dazed.

The person outside the door seemed to be standing there and looking at him for a while before stepping in.

When the middle-aged man got used to the light, he realized that the person sitting in front of him was Zhang Tang, who was seriously injured.

So he couldn't help but sigh: "I deserve to be Lord Zhang."

Zhang Tang waved his hand, and the guards outside the door immediately closed the door.

He was wrapped in bandages and had an arm hanging on him, but it was obvious that he had changed into a brand new official uniform.

On the black brocade clothes, the texture flowed like undercurrents.

"It seems unfair that you know me but I don't know you."

Zhang Tang looked at him and said, "Why would you like to introduce it first."

The middle-aged man smiled: "Forget it, it's better if Master Qianban doesn't know me."

Zhang Tang nodded: "It is true. If you know who you are, you will continue to dig on you. If you don't know who you are, you will be just an unknown person if you die."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "The right answer."

Zhang Tang asked: "You can always say the name. I guess you shouldn't find anything based on your name."

"Yes... according to my name, I really can't find anything."

The middle-aged man looked at Zhang Tang's face with a little tenderness, and he really couldn't figure out how such a young man would have such a ruthless heart.

After saying this, he fell silent, as if he had no intention of telling Zhang Tang what his name was.

Zhang Tang looked at him and said, "You can mobilize more than a thousand people. Such a large-scale action would never be possible if it were not for the extremely high status of Shanhe Yin."

"Mu Fengliu controls the ticket number in Lu County, and Manager Zhou is only his subordinate. On the 10th day of the family business in Zaoyunjian is also Mu Fengliu is behind the scenes. He wanders under Jizhou. From this point of view, it can be inferred that at least in Jizhou, Mu Fengliu has a high status, but from the previous incident, you can call him at will."

The middle-aged man smiled but still didn't answer.

Zhang Tang continued: "Mu Fengliu died under the sword of Zaoyunjian, and cut off his head with one sword... Isn't it a bit too easy?"

The middle-aged man thought about it and replied: "I looked from a distance. Although I didn't know what I said at that time, I saw what happened. In that case, Mu Fengliu was attacked and died of a sneak attack."

Zhang Tang shook his head: "No."

The middle-aged man asked, "Where is wrong?"

Zhang Tang said: "Lu County is at least 900 miles away from Cenzhou. The business of Lu County's Piaohao was collected by Mu Fengliu. Cenzhou and the family's Piaohao were also used by Mu Fengliu."

The middle-aged man asked: "

What's wrong with this?"

Zhang Tang said: "From this point, we can infer two things. First, the Jizhou Piaohao business, Mu Fengliu is the driving force behind it. The family affairs of Zaoyunjian were twelve years ago, and the Luxian was two years ago. It was a thousand miles of turnover and the rain was turbulent."

He pressed forward: "Why did a person who is used to hiding behind the scenes and leading others to do things, so he was so hasty this time?"

"At least in the past twelve years, he has done a lot of things, and he will never let himself appear in front of the stage."

"However, this time, even to win over me and to win over Zao Yunjian, he shouldn't have appeared by himself."

Zhang Tang pressed forward again, looked at the middle-aged man's eyes and said, "For more than ten years, I have been hiding behind me, and suddenly came to the front, and then I was killed so easily by someone with a sword... Unreasonable, right, Mu Fengliu."

The middle-aged man was silent for a long time.

He suddenly laughed, as if he was laughing very smoothly.

"It's really amazing. No wonder King Ning attaches great importance to Lord Zhang."

After laughing, the middle-aged man nodded and said, "Yes... How could a person like me easily appear in a dangerous place? Even if the backhand strike of Zao Yunjian is really unpredictable, no one would have expected it. But a qualified strategist would not give his opponent such a fatal blow."

Zhang Tang slowly breathed out.

"The people of Luling admire Fengliu."

The middle-aged man clasped his fists: "I've met Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Tang asked: "You should have a way to get out, right?"

Mu Fengliu shook his head: "No."

He said with some regrets and some remorse, "I didn't think about whether I would be caught, and I drove myself to the Tingwei Army's yamen."

He smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's a little embarrassing."

Zhang Tang shook his head: "I don't believe it, you must have a way to escape."

Mu Fengliu asked: "Since I guess I have a way to escape, why don't I let my subordinates tie me up?"

He looked at himself: "I feel a little guilty when I am so lenient."

Zhang Tang asked: "Where does the guilt come from?"

Mu Fengliu smiled and said, "I am a serious offender. I want to kill Lord Zhang. Although I failed, I killed at least two hundred black armor from the Tingwei Army. Such a serious crime is still in the Tingwei Army. I thought I would be beaten half to death first and then be punished."

Mu Fengliu said, "Mr. Zhang didn't do this, so I feel guilty. Otherwise... I'd better use torture first, so that I feel better."

Zhang Tang looked at him and pondered for a long time.

Mu Fengliu was waiting for Zhang Tang to continue to say something, but after Zhang Tang was silent for a long time, he suddenly stood up.

"Stay rest."

After saying these four words, Zhang Tang turned around and left.

Mu Fengliu watched Zhang Tang go out with a little puzzled look in her eyes.

Not long after, the Tingwei Army was in the study of Tingwei.

Gao Xining sat in the main seat, Li Chi stood at the window and looked outside, not knowing what he was looking at.

Zhang Tang told me about what he had just met Mu Fengliu.

He looked at Gao Xining and said, "Mr. Du Tingwei, I suspect this person is intentional to be arrested, but I don't know why he was arrested on purpose."

Gao Xining asked: "I was arrested on purpose? If our people hadn't arrived in time, you would have died in Lu County. This was an accident."

Zhang Tang said: "It is indeed an accident. Mu Fengliu's first goal is to force me to become their person. If he fails, he will execute the second goal and kill me... But I suspect he has a third goal, that is, if an accident occurs, he will take the opportunity to be caught by us."

Li Chi turned around and looked at him: "What do you think it is?"

Zhang Tang shook his head: "I have no clue at all. Maybe... he is trying to meet King Ning?"

Li Chi said: "Does he want to convince me?"

Zhang Tang said: "This is the only reasonable explanation that my subordinates can think of at present."

Li Chi asked again: "You are sure

Did he be arrested on purpose?”

Zhang Tang said: "There is no evidence, but the subordinates feel it."

Li Chi said: "Then I'll go and meet this person."

Zhang Tang shook his head: "Think about it again and give me three days."

Li Chi thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay."

Gao Xining stood up: "I'd better go see him first."

Li Chi looked at her, and she smiled and said, "It's okay, let someone tie him up tightly first, and I'll stay away."

Li Chi said: "You are asking questions at the door, I am outside the door."

Gao Xining nodded: "If he was really arrested on purpose, he must have had a big plan. If he didn't figure it out, there would be huge hidden dangers."

Not long after, the torture room.

Mu Fengliu, who was closing his eyes to rest, was disturbed by the sound of opening the door. He opened his eyes and looked at it. Several court lieutenants came in, holding chains in their hands.

When seeing this, Mu Fengliu smiled at the corner of his mouth. He knew that a big man would come to see him.

The Tingwei tied him tightly, and the four Tingwei drew their swords, and four knives pressed against his neck.

In such a situation, at least he confirmed something... it is very important to meet him.

So he laughed.

The Tingwei put down a chair as soon as he entered the door and then retreated.

Gao Xining stepped into the door and sat down on the chair.

When Mu Fengliu saw her, she smiled.

"It must be Lord Du Tingwei, it's true that it's the same as the legend."

He smiled and said, "The mouth is not lighted but contains the elixir; the eyebrows are not painted but are green; the fish falls and the geese fall, and the moon is ashamed of flowers."

Li Chi, who was on the side outside the door, frowned slightly when he heard these words, thinking to himself... Damn, I have to remember it.

Gao Xining smiled and said, "I will not take you to see King Ning even if I praise me."

Mu Fengliu said: "Master Du Tingwei, why do you think I want to see King Ning instead of you?"

Gao Xining frowned slightly.

Mu Feng said: "The Tingwei Army was created by Lord Du Tingwei. From ancient times to the present, it is just like this... What I want to meet is Lord Du Tingwei."

Gao Xining said: "Then what do you want to say?"

Mu Fengliu said: "I didn't mean to say anything, I just wanted to see why President Gao of Siyi Academy regarded him as a granddaughter in his palm, and he fell in love with King Ning."

Gao Xining narrowed his eyes slightly and thought carefully about whether there was any hidden meaning in these words.

Mu Fengliu said: "I have always heard that Lord Du Tingwei is a rare smart woman in the world. She is so smart that when she was in Siyi Academy, she could see that King Ning was definitely not an ordinary person. At that time, not many of them could see this."

He took a breath and said, "I'll do it... who was the one who was good at King Ning at that time? Xiahou Zhuo, um... Mr. Yan Qingzhi, um... Liu Yingyuan, who else?"

He paused and smiled: "There is also the dean of Siyi Academy. Although he doesn't like Wang Ning on the surface, he has always taken good care of him in secret."

Mu Fengliu seemed to suddenly remember something and smiled, "By the way, I met you when you were young, and I was about two or three years old? I can't remember it very clearly... But I met President Gao earlier, probably when he left the capital and returned to Jizhou to establish Siyi Academy."

He moved forward, as if he didn't care about the four knives on his neck.

"At that time, President Gao said that he wanted to establish Siyi Academy to cultivate talents for Jizhou and reserve virtuous people for the Great Chu, but he had no money and what should he do if he had no money..."

He smiled a little proudly.

"Otherwise, Lord Du Tingwei asked President Gao to come and see me?"

Mu Fengliu leaned back: "If President Gao comes, he would be shocked. If Mr. Yan comes, he would be shocked. Many people in Siyi Academy would be shocked when they see me."

"I have prepared so many talents for the Ning Prince. Now many people have governed the land for the Ning Prince. I am very happy. After all, I can be regarded as a great contribution to the construction of the Four-Peace Academy."
