Chapter 96 Division of labor and cooperation, target Duan Yuanming!
The next day, it was exactly the right time.
Ge Wanshan brought Xu Chong to the government office, and bumped into Duan Yuanming at the gate who was just about to go out.
To be honest, this caught Duan Yuanming a little off guard.
Because the time agreed upon is obviously Chen Shi.
But I didn’t expect to be called half an hour early...
Is this the water ghost's idea or Ge Wanshan's?
Duan Yuanming thought and took a few steps forward with a smile.
"Master Fu, do you have to go out for something?"
Ge Wanshan clasped his fists with a look of surprise on his face.
"It's not that important..."
Duan Yuanming said calmly.
"If anything happens, Lord Fu, just go there yourself."
Before Duan Yuanming could finish speaking, Ge Wanshan rushed to say, "Don't worry, as long as I'm watching, there won't be any problems in the interrogation."
"..."
Duan Yuanming's face trembled and he glanced at Xu Chong, who looked indifferent.
It seems that it was Ge Wanshan's idea to advance the appointment time.
In Duan Yuanming's expectation, Ge Wanshan would be worried that 'Xie Changkong' would involve 'Wei Wuxie', but he never expected that he would skip this process and directly involve himself.
Therefore, Ge Wanshan will most likely not make any unwise moves when the situation is uncertain.
He went out at the right time, just in case, and planned to go to Qianhu Station to intercept Ge Wanshan so that the interrogation of 'Xie Changkong' could be completed smoothly.
Inside and outside the city, Ge Wanshan had no chance to make small moves.
But now it seems that Ge Wanshan is much more cautious than he thought... too cautious.
Duan Yuanming's heart sank, but he still smiled and said: "I just planned to invite two talented people to come. Now is the time, please."
Ge Wanshan's expression froze, and he immediately stepped in.
Duan Yuanming saw it in his eyes and became more confident in his heart.
Halfway through the trip, Duan Yuanming summoned the government officials and said, "Take Mr. Xu Qi to interrogate the prisoner. Whatever Mr. Xu needs, I will satisfy him. There is no need to come and ask me."
"yes."
The yamen officer took the order and made a gesture of invitation to Xu Chong.
Xu Chong also raised his legs and left with a calm expression.
Ge Wanshan suddenly turned around, looked at Duan Yuanming, and said: "Your Excellency, today is a formal interrogation. To prevent any accidents, I'd better follow you and take care of him."
Accident?
If I really let you go, I'm afraid you'd be the one who accidentally happened.
Duan Yuanming waved his hand and said: "What's the important thing? If you can get it out, you can get it out. What can I do if you can't get it out? If you keep me and me aside, it may restrict Xu Xiaoyou's performance."
"This...is true."
Ge Wanshan nodded reluctantly, but sneered in his heart.
Wei Wuxie...oh no, should be called Duan Wuxie.
Duan Wuxie's guess was indeed correct. Duan Yuanming must have known something and wanted to get his handle from Xie Changkong.
As long as he deliberately expresses his intention to watch the interrogation, Duan Yuanming will take the initiative to get rid of him.
The one who steps on Nainai... knows his father better than his son?
"Yesterday, someone sent over an authentic work of Master Liu's, and we just happened to taste it together..."
Duan Yuanming led Ge Wanshan to the county government office.
As for the water ghost, it can be said that he is not worried at all.
If it is true that 'Xu Chong', he may have suppressed the secret revealed by 'Xie Changkong' because of Ge Wanshan's support. It is not impossible to even kill 'Xie Changkong' for Ge Wanshan.
But unfortunately, this is a water ghost.
How could a Taiping Dao rebel who took on someone else's identity and wanted to infiltrate the imperial court have any real friendship with Ge Wanshan?
On the contrary, if the water ghost gets Ge Wanshan's secret, it is very likely that he will reveal it directly and make a great contribution. At the worst, he will go to Ge Wanshan to show his loyalty in order to get more care and favor.
Anyway, no matter which one it is, the water ghost will firmly hold Ge Wanshan's secret in his hands.
And this is exactly the situation he wants to create.
…
the other side.
The entire innermost part of the prison was emptied to ensure that the interrogation would not be interrupted.
Xu Chong walked into the cell of ‘Xie Changkong’ for the third time.
Compared to yesterday, there was only one more long case in the cell.
"It's you again?"
'Xie Changkong' stared at Xu Chong and sneered, "Sending a small role like you here will mean that there will be no one available in the court?"
"I hope you can laugh again soon."
Xu Chong looked stern and behaved like a real torture expert. He meticulously took off the long knife from his waist and began to take it apart slowly.
"Oh."
‘Xie Changkong’ disdainfully said, “I have been detained here for more than half a month, what kind of methods have I not seen?”
"You have never seen this kind of method of mine."
Xu Chong took out the last instrument of torture and placed it on the long case. He pointed at Xie Changkong's left hand and said, "You will know after you see it for yourself."
"have a look?"
'Xie Changkong' turned his head, and then his eyes suddenly widened.
The five fingers on his left hand disappeared without him noticing.
This weird method really frightened 'Xie Changkong' for a moment.
But only for a moment.
Thinking of what Duan Yuanming said, he quickly calmed down.
It's just a broken finger. With the vitality above the meridians, it can be reconnected in a month.
"Don't worry, you won't feel the pain until after one stick of incense."
Xu Chong bent down and picked up his finger, pretending not to know that 'Xie Changkong' had taken medicine to relieve the pain, and said deliberately.
"That's it?"
'Xie Changkong' raised his lips, "It's just a broken finger, so what if it means a broken hand or foot?"
"It's not that fast. No matter how good your hands or feet are, of course you have to do it bit by bit."
Xu Chongyin smiled pitifully, "After all...you can't eat that much in one bite."
"Can't eat...what..."
‘Xie Changkong’’s expression suddenly changed.
However, before he could finish speaking, Xu Chong pinched his chin.
Five bloody fingers were forced into Xie Changkong's throat.
"Well...well..."
'Xie Changkong' struggled desperately, but his strength was blocked. This kind of struggle was powerless to Xu Chong.
"you……"
Xu Chong looked at the frightened eyes of 'Xie Changkong' and recalled the assassin named Zhong Dahe again.
For a moment, the strength in his hand relaxed, allowing 'Xie Changkong' to spit out the remaining two fingers.
"vomit……"
‘Xie Changkong’ kept retching.
Xu Chong closed his hands silently, his thoughts flying.
Just now, he remembered all his plans, remembered that he wanted to kill Xie Changkong and Duan Yuanming.
But all these things seem to have a sense of disharmony, as if a piece of the cause is missing, causing the motivation to not be so strong.
Now he understood that it turned out that Zhong Dahe's existence was hidden due to the barrier of knowledge and vision.
So damn evil...
Fortunately, it didn't interfere with the plan. Don't be so careless in the future.
Xu Chong calmed down and picked up the two fingers that fell on the ground again: "Don't you like to eat human flesh? Why, the meat above Tongmai is not as good as those of ordinary people?"
"..."
‘Xie Changkong’’s stomach was churning, and he felt so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.
Duan Yuanming pointed out that he was actually ready to eat human flesh, and he was confident enough not to reveal any flaws.
But he never expected that what he wanted to eat was his own flesh...
This one rides on a horse!
Even if Xie Changkong is really Xie Changkong, he can’t eat his own flesh, right?
Xu Chong made a move to pinch Xie Changkong's chin again.
"etc!"
‘Xie Changkong’ quickly shouted to stop, “I said, whatever you want to know, I just say it!”
At this point, the conditions for ‘confession’ are met and you can act according to the plan.
"What do I want to know?"
Xu Chong frowned, "You don't understand any of these rules? Speak for yourself! Say whatever comes to mind!"
"Okay, I'll say it!"
'Xie Changkong' said quickly, "I am from the Xie family on Taiping Road, but if you want to find out where the Xie family is through me, this really won't work."
"Similar to the other five major families, the Xie family does not have a family residence. All the children are scattered..."
"Thirty years ago, there were four brothers in my generation in the Xie family..."
He chatted a lot, telling all the big and small things about the Xie family.
Even the mysterious Xie family eldest brother Xie Changqing has a few words.
Xu Chong's brows gradually frowned.
Are these things all made up?
If it is not fabricated, is the relationship between that family and Taiping Road too close?
"Xie Changkong" said while looking at Xu Chong's expression.
As expected, what the young master said was true. This water ghost didn't believe that he was Xie Changkong at all...
So, 'Xie Changkong' stopped talking about the Xie family at the right time.
"No more?"
Xu Chong's brows widened and he bent down again.
'Xie Changkong' followed Xu Chong's movements and suddenly discovered that there were five more fingers on the ground... No need to ask, this was from his right hand.
Lying on the horse!
‘Xie Changkong’ is full of resentment.
He didn't like to eat human flesh, but now he had no doubt that he could chew up the skin and bones of this water ghost without changing his expression and swallow it.
"Hold on!...Actually, I'm also looking for that Wei Wuxie!"
'Xie Changkong' said in humiliation, "Last time he left traces in Fenggu County, I secretly reported back to Xie's family, hoping to repair the relationship with the family, but I didn't expect... In fact, I just discovered Wei Wuxie
There are only traces of him, I haven’t seen anyone else at all!”
"Didn't see it?"
Xu Chong chuckled and shook his head, "I don't believe it."
After saying that, he pinched Xie Changkong's chin.
"Really! But I know some things about Wei Wuxie! Among them..."
Bang!
Before he finished speaking, 'Xie Changkong' saw that Xu Chong was knocked out by a strong force and fell far away on the other side of the prison, unconscious.
???
‘Xie Changkong’ looked confused and didn’t understand what was going on.
I had all my secrets ready and just about to throw them out, but the person receiving the secrets was knocked away?
Who did it?
Xie Changkong instinctively turned his head and looked around.
There's obviously no one there...wait, why did the cells start to move?
A head rolled to the ground.
…
…
County government office.
A group of officials were tasting the so-called authentic works of the Liu family and were praising them. Only Ge Wanshan looked helpless and bored, glancing at the door from time to time.
Duan Yuanming took Ge Wanshan's performance into his eyes and became more confident about blackmailing Ge Wanshan to hand over Xu Chong.
As everyone knows, Ge Wanshan's helplessness and boredom are all fake. When he looks at the door, he is calculating time based on the sun.
"That's almost it."
Ge Wanshan withdrew his gaze, leaned over and whispered in Duan Yuanming's ear: "Your Excellency, there is something that is really hard to talk about. I thought about it for a long time and decided that it would be better to tell him frankly."
Tell the truth?
Duan Yuanming was stunned for a while.
This Ge Wanshan wouldn't be so scared that he would take the initiative to hand over the evidence, right?
This is not a good thing...
The handle has long been in hand, and the reason why we took such a big detour was to let that 'Xu Chong' know the truth through interrogation.
In this case, Ge Wanshan would have to give up 'Xu Chong' voluntarily even if it was because of the commander-in-chief of the Blood-Shirt Guards.
No, the results of the trial haven't come out yet...
Duan Yuanming was thinking about how to delay, but he heard Ge Wanshan whisper again: "This matter has something to do with you."
Is it related to me?
Duan Yuanming's heart tightened, and he immediately waved his hand: "Everyone, please go ahead. I have important matters to discuss with Ge Qianhu."
"In that case, I will resign first..."
All the officials saluted and filed out.
Some were even careful enough to ask the doorman to close the door to the inner hall.
When there were only two people left in the hall, Duan Yuanming looked at Ge Wanshan in confusion.
"Here's the thing."
Ge Wanshan whispered: "When I went out this morning, I didn't know who left a note at the door of my room."
"Note?"
Duan Yuanming didn't understand.
"It says..."
Ge Wanshan's voice became lower and lower, "Wei Wuxie's real real name is Duan Wuxie!"
