Su Wen had no room to interrupt in the conversation between Ji Changge and Qu Tanmo.
But he could still understand some things. For example, what Qu Tammo said was not without purpose. It did not even come from a judgment of facts, but a prophecy.
He seemed to be able to see some broken pictures of the future, and what he said was essentially similar to prophecies.
But precisely because the picture he saw was too blurry, he could discuss it with Ji Changge openly without worrying about the backlash from leaking the secret.
After Qu Tanmo determined that it was impossible for Nangong to expel the dark power and restore his original context, Ji Changge determined in his heart that it was impossible for Nangong to have such a choice.
He would rather Nangong be an extraordinary person of the dark path than take huge risks and possibly die in the end.
Although the extraordinary people of the dark path are not tolerated by the extraordinary world, and there is a feeling that everyone can punish them, in fact, no matter which dynasty, there are many extraordinary people of the dark path. With the restriction of official power, most of these extraordinary people can
If you follow the basic moral bottom line, you won't make a big mistake. So the honest people will turn a blind eye to this.
Nangong has become a transcendent of the dark path. With his status, he has enough resources to help him suppress the negative effects of the dark power. Ji Changge is also willing to pay such a price.
But Ji Changge didn't want to see a loyal and powerful confidant like Nangong die.
It was a heavy loss not only to him, but also to the entire Liang Dynasty. Especially now that it was the time to employ people, Ji Changge did not want to suffer such a loss.
"With Zhong Zheng watching over Nangong and Dr. Li, they don't dare to mess around."
Ji Changge sighed quietly: "Nangong hates the dark path very much. Alas... there is nothing we can do about it."
After talking for a while, Ji Changge waved his hand to let the matter rest for the time being and wait until Nangong stabilized his injuries and fixed the route sequence.
Su Wen then stood up and resigned.
Qu Tanmo sent him away, and Ji Changge also gave him some rewards, including gold, silver, brocade and silk. It was not necessary for Su Wen to take them back in person, as the palace officials would deliver them to the Qingshan Guild Hall.
Su Wen returned directly to the inner factory.
"Are you Su Wen?"
As soon as he returned to the Yamen, Su Wen saw a middle-aged man who looked like a scribe, holding a folding fan in his hand. He smiled and said to him: "I am Beishang. Where is Nangong? Is he okay?"
"I've seen big stalls."
Su Wen still held up his hands as a gesture of courtesy: "Nangong Stall is fine. He is exchanging information about his illness with Dr. Li at the palace. He should be back soon."
There are five large stalls on the inside of the factory, namely Zhongzheng, Dongjiao, Nangong, Xiyu, and Beishang. The meanings are related to the musical Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu. But the five tones can actually
Corresponding to the five directions, the names of several stalls are inconsistent with the directions, giving people a sense of chaos. I don’t know if the names were chosen because they were not talented enough and did not take this into consideration, or there is another deep meaning. Su Wenke said
Not sure anymore.
Beishang and Zhongzheng spent most of their time not in the inner factory, but in the imperial palace, which was also the core office area of the inner factory.
Zhong Zheng is the Minister of Internal Affairs, while Beishang is the Minister of Internal Affairs, and is Zhong Zheng's right-hand man. Most of the daily work in the Internal Factory comes from the assignments of the two.
Nangong is the person in charge of the inner factory on the surface, but he basically does errands. He goes to put out fires wherever big troubles occur. In addition, he has won the respect and trust of the emperor, which makes people feel that the inner factory is his.
territory.
Xiyu walked beside the emperor all year round, acting as his shadow and guard, but many secret matters were handled by Xiyu.
As for Dongjiao, Su Wen had never even heard its name a few times, let alone understood it.
Beishang said with a smile: "It's good to have you back. These guys may be the clones of Wang Cifu or Wang Cizhi. What's interesting is that even the truth trumpet can't pry open their mouths and say something we want."
, you come and try?”
"I gonna go see."
Su Wen has no humility.
To Su Wen, Wang Cizhi was a bomb that could explode at any time, especially because Wang Cifu had such a profound impression on him that he didn't dare to take any chances.
Once Wang Cizhi is given the opportunity, he will definitely create great turmoil, which will definitely be a huge disaster and tragedy for Daliang City, which has a population of millions.
Wang Cifu's family members who were settled in Longyou were killed by the inner factory within a few breaths after Wang Cifu was beheaded by Nangong.
In order to interrogate timely, Beishang personally set up the teleportation array and sent all the prisoners back, which shows that the inner factory attaches great importance to this matter. The materials used to set up the teleportation array are extremely precious, and the price of each person teleported is extremely high.
It cannot be used casually.
Each prisoner is held in solitary confinement. In fact, most prisoners do not know what crime they have committed.
Many people even shouted loudly when they were arrested, saying that they were members of the Wang family. Even if they committed crimes, the government would not dare to arrest them easily, not to mention that they had not done anything bad.
It wasn't until the factory guards showed their signs that these people were honest. Some of them tried to resist, but they were personally attacked by Beishang. After a few were maimed, everyone finally figured out one fact: the inner factory was really as legendary.
Brutal, not to mention that they are just affiliated members of the Wang family, even if they are core members of the Wang family, they will suffer the same fate if they are targeted by the internal factory.
"We have all been interrogated, but we didn't get any useful information. Some people even don't know about Wang Cifu's existence..."
Beishang was a little annoyed: "Maybe they have a secret technique to fight the truth trumpet, so I was deceived by them..."
"That's not necessarily the case." Su Wen shook his head. He was not in a hurry to interrogate Wang Cifu's family members. Instead, he picked up the files obtained from the Beishang interrogation and browsed them carefully.
After reading the files, Su Wen discovered that Wang Cifu's family was different from what he imagined.
He originally thought that Wang Cifu's descendants were still members of the Wang family and had a relatively lower status. However, what he didn't expect was that after Wang Cifu became Wang Cizhi's steward, his descendants got rid of their slave status and ran some businesses related to the Wang family.
With the related business, life was going quite well. There were even people in the family who entered the official career. With the help of the Wang family, they served as assistant officials in some lucrative places in Gyeonggi Province.
"Old... too young, female..." Su Wen classified the files, first classifying the old, weak, sick and disabled, and read them over first. He would not allow himself to have cognitive blind spots and ignore these people.
Although it is unlikely that Wang Cifu and Wang Cizhi would choose such descendants as their targets, the thoughts of extraordinary beings of the dark path cannot be speculated with common sense. Therefore, Su Wen will not allow himself to have blind spots in his thinking.
"This is called Wang Zhuo, Wang Fu, Wang De..."
After reading the dossier, Su Wen named eight people in one breath.
The oldest is forty-six years old, and the youngest... is only six years old.
…
"I want to find my mother...you are a bad person..."
In the interrogation room, six-year-old Wang Xiaohu was shivering.
"Mr. Wang, why bother pretending..."
Su Wen smiled: "Others can't see through your disguise, not because you are so smart, but because their thinking has gone astray, thinking that you are an extraordinary person of the dark path, and you must have a dark aura about you, but I
I don’t think so."
"In Guixu, I came into contact with many extraordinary beings of the dark path. I have a completely different understanding of the power of darkness, and I have a clearer understanding of what soul cutting is all about."
Su Wen ignored the child's cry and calmly finished his carefully prepared lines: "Not to mention, all the fear in your heart-wrenching cry is just fake... Mr. Wang, I
Having faced countless life and death situations, I know what fear looks like..."
"So... regardless of whether you admit it or not, I just need to confirm that you are. As long as you are imprisoned in the spiritual prison, as time goes by and your soul power recovers, it will naturally be exposed."
"But it does have some benefits for you... maybe you can live longer, right?" Su Wen looked calm, and finally said softly: "Okay, I'm done, if you
If you don’t want to say anything, then go down. The spiritual prison will lock you in this body until you are sixteen years old. After ten years, you will be executed according to the law... I have given you the opportunity, so be it."
Su Wen closed the file and looked calmly at Wang Xiaohu in front of him.
At this time, Su Wen also saw that Wang Xiaohu's crying voice stopped suddenly, and was replaced by a sinister look in his eyes. He reluctantly asked in a childish voice: "You, how can you be so sure that I am Wang Cifu?"
"Ha...I can't tell you this."
Su Wen spread his hands and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He had no idea whether Wang Xiaohu was Wang Cizhi or Wang Cifu, so when he brought everyone up, he deliberately used a set of "I already know who you are" rhetoric to talk to himself and create pressure on the other party.
He was just betting on luck. As long as the other party didn't know how much information he had, the secret would eventually be exposed.
But as the exclusions intensified, Su Wen became more attentive to the last few characters on the list.
Wang Xiaohu, who was actively ignored by the Northern Shang Dynasty, was the focus of Su Wen's attention.
Sure enough, after some testing, "Wang Xiaohu" took the initiative to admit that he was blessed by the king.
While Su Wen breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on his face: "Wang Cifu, isn't it? You are Wang Cizhi!"
"...What are you doing! No, you lied to me?!"
A look of horror appeared on "Wang Xiaohu's" childish face, and then it turned into anger: "How dare you cheat!"
"..."
Su Wen shook his head: "What's the trick? You don't usually deal with people, you just don't know how to use tricks... You are not the same. You are clearly Wang Cizhi, but you say that you are the king's blessing. If you want to trick, you should be the first.
Envoy."
"snort!"
Wang Cizhi narrowed his eyes: "So what if you find out, it's just a loss of a clone, and there's nothing you can do to me! When I accomplish my big thing, I will crush you to ashes and vent my hatred!"
