Lu Ning smiled, looked at Gu Fengtang and said:
"My lord, that's it."
"My subordinates have captured Cao Dachun, and all the civil and military officials in the court must be shocked."
"When the court comes tomorrow, all civil and military officials will definitely ask questions in front of you. You only need to pay attention to those who don't pay much attention to this matter."
"At the court, we must mention Cao Dachun's crimes. We must make it clear that Cao Dachun is the real murderer of Prince Yong'an."
"Don't say it too clearly."
"Look at some people's reactions."
Gu Fengtang frowned and said, "That's all?"
Lu Ning nodded and said: "Although these can't explain anything, the people behind the five-color snow cicada will definitely breathe a sigh of relief. Even if they don't talk to adults, they will behave differently from before."
Gu Fengtang nodded secretly: "Relieved? It makes sense."
The next day.
March sixteenth.
Early in the morning, when the sky was bright, in the large courtyard in front of Taiji Hall, civil and military officials arrived one after another.
Three or five people stood together in a circle, talking about Cao Dachun being captured by the Demon Suppressing Division.
Some people are talking about what exactly Cao Dachun committed? Why was he suddenly arrested?
Some people also whispered that Lu Ning was too arrogant. When he became the deputy director of the Demon Suppression Division, he acted recklessly and had no regard for the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Ahem...!"
After a while, Mr. Qin Ge slowly arrived. As soon as he cleared his throat, everyone fell silent instantly.
The Duke of Zhenguo, Sheng Minzheng, was an old man with a thin face. He looked sixty years old. He held the Chao Hut in his hand and glanced at Qin Zhong lightly.
Beside him were Duke Yan Chang of the state of Yan, his uncle Pei Tong, Duke Rong of the state of Yan, and others.
Some people greeted Qin Zhong, while others ignored him.
Zhang Juming stood with some officials from the Ministry of Punishments, serious in speech, and when he saw Qin Zhong approaching, a look of boredom flashed across his face.
Qin Zhong didn't care about the eyes of everyone, and walked quickly to the front, heading towards that station.
After taking a look at Duke Zhen, Duke Yan and others, he hugged the Chao Hut and remained silent.
Not long after, Gu Fengtang came over wearing court clothes and holding a royal wat in his hand.
When the officials saw him, they all stepped forward to greet Gu Fengtang.
"Gu Sizheng, morning!"
"Mr. Gu, morning!"
"Gu Sizheng, your face is full of spring breeze, what's the happy news?"
The officials took the opportunity to greet Gu Fengtang and asked about Cao Dachun of the Propaganda Department.
Gu Fengtang just smiled and kept silent.
"Everyone, if you have any questions, we will discuss them in the morning." Gu Fengtang cupped his hands and walked forward.
At this time, Pei Tong, Zhang Juming, Shi Rui and others came forward to greet Gu Fengtang, and immediately mentioned Cao Dachun and said that the Demon Suppression Division was doing a great job.
Zhang Juming, in particular, was very in favor of Zhenmo Si's actions.
After a while, Qin Zhong, Li Hongmao, Xu Kaishi and others also came forward to greet Gu Fengtang.
Gu Fengtang's eyes flashed slightly, and Qin Zhong and others also used to say hello and came forward to ask what Cao Dachun had committed and why he was arrested by the Demon Suppression Division.
"Mr. Qin Ge, some things should be said in the court hall." Gu Fengtang said with a smile.
Qin Zhong smiled and nodded, looked at Li Hongmao, Xu Kaishi and others, and everyone walked away knowingly.
Qin Zhong and Gu Fengtang whispered to each other: "I heard that thousands of families around Zhou Huan died in the line of duty?"
Gu Fengtang frowned: "Who did you listen to, Mr. Ge?"
Qin Zhong lowered his voice and said, "I have a close relationship with Zhou Qianhu, my housekeeper's son Wei Jie. I went to see Zhou Qianhu if I had something to do. I seem to have heard that he sacrificed his life for two days. Why didn't Mr. Sizheng report it?"
Gu Fengtang's eyes flashed slightly. Wei Jie had been dead for two days, how could he tell Qin Zhong this?
Could it be that there is a traitor in the Demon Suppression Division?
"I have assigned Zhou Huan a task, and he is not in Beijing for the time being."
Gu Fengtang frowned and said, changing the topic: "The son of the old housekeeper is quite interesting. He listens to nonsense. After the morning court is over, I want to interrogate him."
Hearing this, Qin Zhong hurriedly smiled and said: "What a coincidence, Wei Jie left Jingzhou last night and went back to his hometown to do business. It will take some time before he can return to Jingzhou."
Gu Fengtang frowned and said, "Let's wait until he comes back."
Qin Zhong smiled and nodded, then walked aside in silence.
Gu Fengtang remained calm, seeing that after Qin Zhong left, Duke Zhen, Duke Yan, and Han Li had no intention of looking for him except for looking at him.
It's quite interesting.
There are really people who won't ask him questions.
A moment later, at three o'clock in the morning, the door of Tai Chi Palace opened, and a young eunuch shouted: "Go to court!"
When Qin Zhong and others saw that it was not Liu Jin, their eyes flashed slightly. Didn't Cheng Xuan Si catch the old eunuch?
Enter Tai Chi Hall.
The empress was dressed in a golden-red dragon robe, with jade beads hanging around her neck. She was sitting on a dragon chair, with Bai Xue and Bai Wei on both sides. Fang Xuewu, the chief chamberlain, was also on one side, standing expressionless.
"Long live your Majesty."
After Qin Zhong, Pei and other civil and military officials stood up, they all saluted the empress.
"Everyone is safe."
The empress raised her jade hand, and Qin Zhong and others straightened up slightly.
There was a moment of silence in the main hall.
The empress frowned and said:
"My lords, do you have anything to report today?"
Everyone seemed to be waiting for Gu Fengtang to play first, all looking at Gu Fengtang.
Gu Fengtang's eyes flashed slightly and he took a step forward: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
"Well, let's play!"
"Back to Your Majesty, yesterday, Deputy Division Lu of the Demon Suppression Division tracked down Cao Dachun, the Chief of the Chengxuan Division, who was related to the murder of Prince Yong'an. Cao Dachun, Liu Jin and other experienced eunuchs were arrested early in the morning."
"During the criminal trial, Liu Jin and others confessed, one after another accusing Cao Dachun of exchanging blood poison with the Eighteen Demons from Beyond the Scorpion to poison Prince Yong'an."
"As for the detailed process and behind-the-scenes instructions, it is still under investigation and the results will be available soon."
Gu Fengtang will tell the story of Cao Dachun's arrest, but he will not explain it too clearly.
While he was speaking, his spiritual consciousness was observing the changes in everyone's expressions.
He found that except for Qin Zhong, no one's expressions changed, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.
Just when Gu Fengtang was about to withdraw his consciousness, he suddenly noticed that Han Li, the left minister of the Ministry of War, had his chest rising and falling slightly, and his originally dull expression became a little softer and smoother.
Other than that, the expressions of others haven't changed much.
Is it Han Li??
A look of surprise flashed across Gu Fengtang's eyes. In his impression, Han Li was a very honest military officer. Why would he harm Prince Yong'an?
It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance!
As for Qin Zhong, Gu Fengtang has been investigating for a long time. Qin Zhong did plant three sandy moonflowers.
But five years ago, Sha Yueyehua died.
Qin Zhong also destroyed it.
As for whether Qin Zhong was responsible for poisoning Sha Yue Ye Hua when Prince Yong'an was killed, it has not yet been found out.
"Very good, I have given you my instructions to ask Deputy Lu to find out the truth from Cao Dachun at all costs as soon as possible." The empress' eyes flashed with a cold look.
"It's Your Majesty!" Gu Fengtang bowed and returned to his original position.
"May I ask Gu Sizheng, does Deputy Lu have enough evidence and official documents in advance to arrest Cao Dachun?"
Suddenly, a person came out of the queue and looked at Gu Fengtang and asked.
Everyone looked with serious eyebrows and saw that the person speaking was actually Duke Yan Chang of the State of Yan.
Gu Fengtang was slightly surprised. He glanced at Yan Chang and said, "Of course, Deputy Director Lu will not enter the palace to arrest Cao Dachun without sufficient evidence."
Yan Chang's eyes darkened: "Really? But how did I hear that he had no evidence and no arrest documents, so he suppressed Cao Dachun in a strong manner and took him away."
Gu Fengtang smiled and said: "Does Duke Yan not quite understand the significance of the existence of the Demon Suppressing Company?"
Yan Chang frowned: "What do you mean?"
Gu Fengtang still smiled and said: "In the investigation of the Demon Suppression Division, everyone except the emperor must cooperate. No one, including you, Duke Yan, has any privileges."
"So, Cao Dachun first resisted and refused to cooperate, and then tried to escape. Deputy Lu took action against him. How could he be suppressed with a strong stance?"
"Let's not talk about the evidence that Deputy Director Lu has. Let's just talk about Cao Dachun. If there is no problem in his heart, why didn't he cooperate and why did he escape?"
"There is no crime. The Demon Suppressor will restore his innocence and justice."
When Yan Chang heard this, his face became solemn and he said nothing.
However, the smile on Gu Fengtang's face disappeared: "The Duke of Yan actually spoke for the old eunuch who killed Prince Yong'an. Why is this?"
Duke Yan's expression was slightly dull, and then he snorted coldly: "How can I have any friendship with an old eunuch like him? I just feel that the Demon Suppressing Division must follow the rules when investigating cases."
"If you ignore the legal system of the Zhou Dynasty, you will undoubtedly become a bandit."
Gu Fengtang's lips curled up coldly: "The Duke of Yan is so steadfast in his oath and looks like he is going to question the Demon Suppressor. I don't know if he is listening to someone's words, or is he just making a wild guess?"
Duke Yan's face sank: "I'm just discussing the matter, Gu Sizheng, please don't change the subject."
Gu Fengtang said coldly: "I have made it very clear just now. Not only does Deputy Lu have evidence, he is a gold-medal demon slayer and does not need any arrest documents. Except for Your Majesty, everyone must cooperate with his investigation."
"This is what I say, can Duke Yan understand?"
"Finally, when the Demon Suppression Division is handling the case, why do we need to prove anything to you, Duke Yan? I only need to prove it to His Majesty. Duke Yan is not qualified to know the details of the case handled by the Demon Suppression Division."
"you!?"
Duke Yan's face turned red after being told by Gu Fengtang.
Gu Fengtang said coldly: "What? Is what I said wrong?"
Duke Yan held the Chao Hut in his arms and remained silent.
The empress' phoenix eyes flashed, she glanced at Yan Chang and said, "My lord, please step aside. I personally asked Deputy Lu to handle this matter."
Duke Yan was slightly surprised, and then he bowed and slowly returned to his original position.
Qin Zhong, Pei Tong, Duke Zhen and others shook their heads secretly. Lu Ning dared to take Cao Dachun directly. How could His Majesty not know about it in advance?
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report." Seeing that no one said anything, Qin Zhong stepped forward and bowed.
"Mr. Qin, tell me."
"Your Majesty, it's still a matter of chaos among the people in the five states."
"I have sent people to the Five Prefectures to find out that some people are deliberately instigating people to cause chaos in the five prefectures, and even burning, killing and looting have occurred. This has nothing to do with the veteran at all."
"But those rebellious people kept saying that they wanted Your Majesty to execute the old minister. The old minister just helped Deputy Lu once, but the rebellious people kept biting the old minister and refused to let go."
"Excuse me, I am just a group of unscrupulous people who bullied His Majesty because he was young, a woman, and unworthy of sitting on the Dragon Throne. Therefore, under the instigation of others, they went around causing chaos and affecting His Majesty's rule."
Qin Zhong said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, everyone's eyes were fixed on Qin Zhong, thinking that although those rioters have problems, you, Qin Zhong, are not a treacherous villain?
"Your Majesty, I have a method to eliminate civil unrest."
At this time, Zhang Juming, the Minister of Punishment, came forward, bowed and said.
The empress, who was staring at Qin Zhong, looked at Zhang Juming and said, "Zhang Aiqing, tell me."
Zhang Juming glanced at Qin Zhong coldly: "Your Majesty, my method is very simple. Let the Demon Suppressor immediately investigate Qin Zhong, the old man of Qin Pavilion, rectify the country's laws, and give an explanation to the people of the five states, which will surely quell the chaos."
Officials: "..."
Qin Zhong: "..."
Empress: "..."
Everyone looked at Zhang Juming in surprise. Only Zhang Juming dared to say this. It was not that Zhang Juming was awesome, but that he was too upright and direct.
Everyone knows that Qin Zhong is guilty, and it is a serious crime. Killing him ten times is not an exaggeration, but not even Gu Fengtang dares to say it in front of Qin Zhong in the court.
But Zhang Juming really dared to say it.
"Master Zhang, do you know what you are talking about?"
Qin Zhong turned his face and glared at Zhang Juming.
Zhang Juming was not afraid at all. He looked directly at the empress and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to quell the civil unrest in the five states, this method is the most effective."
Just as Qin Zhong was about to speak, the empress coughed lightly and said, "Master Zhang, do you have any other ideas?"
Zhang Juming said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, this method is the fastest and most direct."
Qin Zhong shouted anxiously: "Your Majesty asked you if there is any other way, please... don't talk nonsense."
Zhang Juming glanced at Qin Zhong coldly: "This is the only way."
Everyone: "..."
Qin Zhong must be killed!
The empress' phoenix eyes flashed slightly and said: "Zhang Aiqing, I know that you are upright and upright, but please don't say anything like this in the future that is not conducive to the unity of the monarch and his ministers."
Zhang Juming opened his mouth.
The empress continued to say: "I have been thinking about the chaos in the five states for some time. The Demon Suppression Division has too many affairs and is too busy to handle."
"So, Zhang Aiqing, I will promote you to the position of Second Assistant to the Cabinet now, to cooperate with Mr. Qin Ge to resolve the civil unrest in the five states."
Hearing this, except for Gu Fengtang, the other civil and military officials were stunned.
Zhang Juming himself was stunned!
Your Majesty, I just want to kill Qin Zhong, you don’t have to do that!
If you promote me to the position of Second Assistant in the Cabinet, then looking at Qin Zhong’s treacherous old face every day will make me sick to death!
Zhang Juming opened his mouth and saw that the empress' eyes were firm. Finally, he took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will definitely cooperate with Mr. Qin Ge to find out this matter and suppress it."
Qin Zhong on the side was both excited and frowning. What was exciting was that the empress still valued him very much, otherwise she would not have entrusted him with the task of suppressing the unrest in the five states.
What made her frown was that the empress actually promoted Zhang Juming to the rank of Second Assistant and also served as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Was this to check and balance herself?
Pressure, full of pressure!
Qin Zhong glanced sideways at Zhang Juming, thinking that Zhang Juming was getting more and more powerful and it would be difficult to get rid of him.
He could only try to avoid it and avoid major conflicts with it.
Otherwise, such a stubborn person would be very difficult to deal with.
moment.
Morning ends.
After the empress left, Qin Zhong and other civil and military officials congratulated Zhang Juming one after another.
Zhang Juming, who was originally serious about words, actually laughed amidst the congratulations from everyone.
The civil and military officials were astonished. They wondered why Zhang Juming, who had always been a serious man, was acting abnormally today.
Zhang Juming stared at Qin Zhong's leaving figure, his eyes smiling more and more.
He didn't understand the empress's thoughts just now, but now he finally understood that the empress wanted him to fight Qin Zhong.
Only in this way will Qin Zhong gradually reveal his true nature and finally get rid of Qin Zhong.
Therefore, it seems that the empress is partial to Qin Zhong, but in fact she values him more.
"Haha, Qin Zhong, you treacherous old thief, your time is running out."
Zhang Juming laughed in his heart.
…
Yongle Palace.
Zhang Juming came to thank the Empress in person, not because the Empress gave him a promotion, but because the Empress gave him a chance to fight Qin Zhong.
This is important.
With this opportunity, he can confront Qin Zhong tit for tat until he can seize more leverage against Qin Zhong.
At that time, even if he is sacrificed, as long as he can get rid of the treacherous old thief Qin Zhong, it will be worth it!
"You don't have to thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank Deputy Secretary Lu." The empress looked at Zhang Juming with a smile.
"Deputy Secretary Lu? Lu Ning?"
Zhang Juming was a little stunned. He actually admired Lu Ning's courage. He was young and promising.
The empress said: "This is Deputy Secretary Lu, who has been advising me to promote you to the rank of Second Assistant, so that you can check and balance Qin Zhong."
Zhang Juming had a wonderful expression on his face and sighed: "This Deputy Secretary Lu is really a young prodigy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he is also a great blessing for the Great Zhou Dynasty."
The empress smiled and said nothing.
Zhang Juming marveled for a moment and bowed deeply: "I take my leave."
…
The Demon-Suppressing Division.
Gu Fengtang returned to the Hall of Justice after the morning session.
"See my lord."
Lu Ning and the others saluted Gu Fengtang.
Gu Fengtang sat in front of the desk. After nodding, his eyes fell on the last person.
It was a man who looked to be in his forties. He looked relatively young, but his temples were slightly gray. He was of medium height and had a very strong aura.
It was none other than Ren Wujie, the deputy director.
"Is the injury healed?"
"Come back to my lord, you're feeling better!"
Ren Wujie's voice was slightly deep, and his expression was pale, so it was clear that he had not fully recovered.
Gu Fengtang nodded secretly: "Come on duty, let's do some easy interrogation tasks first."
"It's my lord." Ren Wujie nodded.
Gu Fengtang glanced at Chen Hu, Zhang Chong and others, and said in a deep voice: "You have all heard about the big event that happened yesterday. Deputy Director Lu has investigated the murder of Prince Yong'an. The murderer is Cao Dachun, and he has been arrested.
."
As he spoke, he paused and stared at Chen Hu and the others.
The four of them looked at each other and glanced at Lu Ning next to them.
Especially Ren Wujie, since he was injured at the end of the month, he was on duty for the first time today, so it was also the first time he saw Lu Ning, so he naturally looked at Lu Ning more.
I heard Gu Fengtang raise his voice and say: "This case has been backlogged in the Demon Suppression Department for thirty-three years, and you have been investigating it for at least twenty years. However, Deputy Director Lu just took office for half a month, and the investigation of this case came to light."
"This fully proves that the Demon Suppressor is not incompetent, but the people have problems."
Hearing this, Chen Hu, Zhang Chong, Zuo Hongchen, and Ren Wujie looked a little ugly. The facts were here, and they did not dare to refute them.
Gu Fengtang saw that the expressions of the four people had changed, but it was different from Han Li's change. His eyes flashed slightly and he said: "Okay, from now on, you will do your tasks well. In addition, don't let your cultivation level fall behind."
"Chang'an stays, others can go."
"It's my lord!"
The four of them nodded respectfully, glanced at Lu Ning, turned around and left quickly.
Lu Ning looked back and saw the four people walking away, then he turned around and asked, "Sir, how are you doing?"
Gu Fengtang looked at Lu Ning with some admiration and raised his lips for a moment: "You are really right. As soon as I saw the civil and military ministers, they rushed up to say hello and asked about Cao Dachun."
"Even Qin Zhong is like this."
"But there are a few people who are indifferent, namely Duke Zhen, Duke Yan, Duke Rong, and Han Li."
"Rong Guogong can exclude these four people because he is not a military attache."
"Zhen Guo Gong, Yan Guo Gong, and Han Li always behave in a low-key manner. They didn't even say hello or inquire, so that doesn't mean anything."
"But in the court, after I tell you what you said."
"Han Li, who originally had a dull look on his face, was obviously relieved."
Lu Ning's eyes flashed: "It turns out it's him."
Gu Fengtang said: "Don't worry, Han Li was relieved, but at this time, Duke Yan stood up and accused the Demon Suppression Division of not following the law and being lawless. Regarding this matter, he argued with me in the court."
"Although this is consistent with Yan Chang's tough character, it is not consistent with his low-key personality."
"So, it's a bit difficult for me to determine who it is."
The corner of Lu Ning's mouth raised slightly: "Sir, don't worry, just send someone to keep an eye on the two of them, you can always find some secrets."
Gu Fengtang nodded and said, "What you said is true."
"There is one more thing that you should pay attention to secretly."
Lu Ning asked curiously: "Sir, what's the matter?"
Gu Fengtang stared outside the hall with a frown: "There is Qin Zhong's traitor in the Demon Suppression Division. Find him out as soon as possible."
Lu Ning's eyes flashed slightly, and after questioning, he found out that Qin Zhong had actually received the news of Zhou Huan's death?
"My subordinates are keeping an eye on you secretly."
Then Lu Ning resigned and went to the dark cell.
Gu Wushuang, Pei Tianbei, and Sheng Xuan spent the whole night interrogating Cao Dachun without rest, and the confessions were written on a blank sheet of paper for fifty pages.
"Sir, it's almost the same. Cao Dachun has nothing to explain." Gu Wushuang said slightly tiredly.
Lu Ning nodded, took the confession file and said, "Let's all go and have a rest. Call He Dong to come."
"It's my lord!"
Gu Wushuang and the other three took the people to rest.
Lu Ning was sitting in the dark cell, watching Cao Dachun's confession. The content of the confession was similar to what Liu Jin and others said, but more detailed.
Cao Dachun confessed that his crime was not because he was a confidant of the prince who failed in his bid for the throne, but because he was forced to commit suicide by Chengxuan Si, which ruined his life and became the sorrow of Cao Dachun's life.
He just wanted to bring down the Zhou Dynasty. He didn't mention Mr. Jinlin. He just said that the one he supported in his heart was King Yongshan, but King Yongshan was useless at all.
King Yongshan couldn't even seize the opportunity he was given.
Explain how he made a deal with the Scorpio Demon, how he obtained the blood poison, and how he finally poisoned Prince Yong'an without anyone noticing.
Indeed, as Lu Ning suspected, Cao Dachun did not directly poison Prince Yong'an.
Because it is easy to detect that way, the blood poison is mixed as fertilizer and given to cherry trees and lime trees, so that the fruits they produce contain negligible toxins.
It's okay if you eat less, but if you eat more your health will get worse.
Cao Dachun also confessed that the poison in Prince Yong'an was not a kind of blood poison, but something else, said to be Qin Zhong's Sha Yue Ye Hua.
However, Cao Dachun had no evidence and only suspected that Qin Zhong bribed the palace maids and eunuchs to poison Prince Yong'an.
In addition, Cao Dachun also confessed King Yongshan's rebellious intentions, and King Yongshan even made the dragon robe.
"Lu Chang'an, Prince Yong'an, was not killed by just one member of our family. We have all confessed to him. Can we remain in a prison for the rest of our lives?"
Lu Ning flashed his eyes coldly and asked, "Do you know Han Li?"
"Han Li?"
Cao Dachun frowned and said, "Isn't he the left minister of the Ministry of War now? Why do you ask our family like this?"
Lu Ning said: "I don't like nonsense, what do you think of Han Li?"
Cao Dachun shook his head: "Our family has no interaction with him, so we don't know very well."
Lu Ning's eyes flashed: "What about Duke Yan?"
Cao Dachun's old eyes flashed: "Yanchang? He is a man with a heavy mind. He controls the Flying Dragon Riders. He is also very low-key. It is difficult to catch him unless you send someone to keep an eye on him every day."
Lu Ning nodded secretly, and not long after, He Dong came with someone.
"grown ups."
"Take Cao Dachun to the sky prison and imprison him on the third floor."
Lu Ning stood up and said.
"It's my lord."
He Dong nodded, and immediately sent someone to escort Cao Dachun to the prison.
Lu Ning also followed to avoid any accidents.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Cao Dachun locked up in the cell on the third floor of the Tianlao.
Lao Mo glanced at Eunuch Cao, shook his head and said: "This old bastard also has this day, he is really unhappy about his retribution!"
…
Fast forward to March 20th.
Experience: 27.15 million points.
After Lu Ning took a look at the catalog, he didn't touch the experience.
When I arrived at Beizhengsi, I found that Wang Ding, who had gone to Fengan County in Yunzhou, had returned.
Lu Ning frowned slightly and said, "Did you catch Deng Yan?"
Wang Ding nodded and said, "Sir, I've caught him and put him in a dark cell."
Lu Ning was a little surprised. Normally, if Deng Yan had a problem, Wang Ding would be in vain even if he ran to Deng Yan's hometown.
"What was he doing when we arrested him?"
"We gave him a day to bury his old mother. After burying his old mother, he came back with us."
"..."
Lu Ning was a little stunned, it seemed like a coincidence.
He immediately waved his hand and said, "Let him go."
Wang Ding was a little stunned: "Sir, aren't you going to interrogate me?"
Lu Ning shook his head: "No need to interrogate."
Wang Ding nodded and immediately released Deng Yan.
In the main hall, Lu Ning looked at Gu Wushuang and said, "I asked you to investigate the second floor of the prison and the person who delivered the food. How did you do with the investigation?"
Gu Wushuang frowned and said: "There is no result, everyone seems to be normal."
Lu Ning said coldly: "That's weird. Was it Wen Rentang who was helped by ghosts?"
As soon as the voice fell, a man from a hundred households outside walked in quickly: "See Mr. Lu, Mr. Sizheng asked his subordinates to inform him that Wenren Tang has been recruited."
Hearing this, Lu Ning's eyes lit up, and Gu Wushuang and others were also surprised.
So what if the former great elder of the tyrant sect could not withstand Mr. Lu's torture methods.
For a moment, everyone looked at Lu Ning with a hint of fear.
In a dark prison.
When Lu Ning came with his men, Chen Hu laughed proudly: "Deputy Secretary Lu, your flesh-cutting punishment is really powerful. Chen just cut him for seven days, and he couldn't stand it."
Lu Ning smiled and walked to the Tianlu to take a look. Wen Rentang's left and right chest muscles were shaved flat, and the ribs on both sides were shaved to reveal the white bones, and his beating heart could be seen.
After taking a look, Lu Ning's eyes flashed, this Chen Hu really knew how to carve meat.
He just suggested a way, but he didn't expect to cut it so seriously.
The key point is that Wen Rentang's mouth was really tough, but he couldn't stand it in the end.
Withdrawing his gaze, Lu Ning looked at Gu Fengtang and bowed slightly: "Sir."
Gu Fengtang looked away from the file, nodded to Lu Ning and said: "The criminal law is good, it has been filed."
When the confession he was about to read was given to Lu Ning, he continued to look down at the rest of the confession.
Lu Ning took a closer look and heard that Wen Rentang admitted that the night before the Battle of Yunlu, he was the one who attacked Emperor Mingwu in a surprise attack, seriously injuring Gu Fengtang and damaging Emperor Mingwu's life, making it difficult to have children.
The person behind the scenes made Lu Ning's eyes narrow.
This man turned out to be Emperor Ming Wu's half-brother, the Sixth Prince Zhou Huaihao, who is now King Yongshan.
It was Wenren Tang who was invited by King Yongshan to take action. He originally wanted to kill Emperor Mingwu.
But the people from the Suppressing Demon Division stepped forward one by one without fear of death. Finally, when Pei Tong and Kou Shize arrived, Wen Rentang was surrounded by an army of 300,000 men.
Even if Wenren Tang was a strong man of the third grade, he would not be able to kill an army of 300,000, and he would be exhausted to death.
Seeing that there was no hope of killing the third prince, he heard that Ren Tang had escaped and went to find the sixth prince to revive him.
The sixth prince was very angry when he heard that the third prince was not dead. After all, this was a good opportunity to kill the third prince.
If you miss it, you may not be able to find opportunities in the future.
He ordered Wenren Tang to go back and kill the third prince again.
But outside the third prince's camp, the defense became tighter.
Wen Rentang failed to complete his mission and was ridiculed by the Sixth Prince after he returned. Angrily, he returned to Ba Zong and began to keep a low profile.
After Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty came to the throne, he was always worried about the assassination of Wen Rentang. Especially after the murder of Prince Yong'an, he had difficulty in having children, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
Let Gu Fengtang secretly investigate the tyrants.
Wen Rentang was eventually identified, but there was not enough evidence to prove that Wen Rentang was responsible.
Therefore, Wenren Tang was kept hanging and was not arrested.
Until twenty years ago, Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty couldn't bear it anymore and ignored the legal system and asked Gu Fengtang to lead people to arrest Wenren Tang.
Wen Rentang knew in his heart that the Zhenmo Division had no evidence, and even if he arrested him, he would not be able to find out the result. Sooner or later he would have to be released.
Who knew that this detention would last twenty years.
Later, Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty heard that Queen Yuanning was pregnant, so he kept Wenren Tang in prison without trial.
Seeing this, there is no further content.
Lu Ning looked at the confession in Gu Fengtang's hand. It happened that Gu Fengtang read the rest of it, raised his head and handed the confession to Lu Ning.
He stood up and stood in front of the prison, clasping his hands behind his back and staring coldly at Wen Rentang: "Before joining the Ba Sect, were you a disciple of the Wuxiang Sect, right?"
A flash of surprise flashed in Wenren Tang's eyes: "As expected of you, Gu Fengtang."
Gu Fengtang slowly held up his palms: "This sect, the Wuxiang Sect, has been in the world for hundreds of years. I never thought that there would be a successor like you."
At that time, Wenren Tang used the Wuxiang Sect's Xiao Wuxiang Palm, which was extremely powerful and caused great harm to human body functions.
In fact, Gu Fengtang was more seriously injured than Emperor Wu of Ming Dynasty at the time, but he did not damage his lifeline. Even so, it still caused his cultivation to progress slowly for decades.
In prison, Wen Rentang sneered twice and said nothing more.
Gu Fengtang didn't say anything, turned around and said: "Chen Hu, Zhang Chong."
"My subordinate is here."
"Take him to the third floor of the prison and hold him there for now."
"It's my lord."
Chen Hu and the other two personally escorted Wen Rentang to Tianlao, accompanied by thousands of households.
At this time, Lu Ning also read the rest of the confession.
Wen Rentang did not explain who helped him escape from the prison, which made Lu Ning frown.
But this time, Wen Rentang was imprisoned on the third floor of the prison. With Mr. Mo on guard, there shouldn't be any problems.
Lu Ning compiled the confession and handed it to Gu Fengtang.
Gu Fengtang went to the palace with his confession.
…
The third floor of the prison.
After Chen Hu and Zhang Chong imprisoned Wen Rentang in Cell No. 30, they warned Mr. Mo before taking him away.
Mr. Mo's eyes flashed slightly and he walked slowly towards Cell No. 30.
For a moment, he stood in front of the cell and looked at Wen Rentang who was covered in blood in the cell.
Wenren Tang Ye stared at Mr. Mo coldly, with a complex look in his eyes.
After a long time.
Mo Laocai said coldly: "It's really useless. If I give you a chance, you won't be able to escape Beijing and Zhou Dynasty."
