In a remote old house in the city, the lights were very dim.
Under such light, even if people stand face to face, it is not easy to see their faces clearly.
Gu Zhengbang was sitting in the old house at this time, with Mo Di standing next to him. The two of them looked at the door of the house quietly, as if waiting for someone to arrive.
After a while, there was a sound outside the house.
"Master, we have arrived." A young voice sounded.
Gu Zhengbang did not say anything, but Mo Di said instead: "Bring him in."
As soon as the voice fell, people outside entered the room.
The first person to come in was a man with his hands tied and a black cloth bag covering his entire head. Following behind was Gu Zhengbang's confidant, Zhong Peng.
After Zhong Peng escorted the person into the house, he pushed the person forward, then cupped his hands and said, "Master, this person is Sui San."
After Gu Zhengbang nodded slightly, Mo Di said: "Close the door."
Zhong Peng turned around and closed the door gently, then straightened his back and stood in front of the door.
Sui San's head was covered, and everything in front of him was pitch black. When he entered the room, he felt a faint light in front of him.
"Sir, have mercy on me, please have mercy on me!"
Before Gu Zhengbang could say anything, Sui San knelt on the ground with a bang and kowtowed hurriedly to beg for mercy.
Mo Di was immediately displeased and threatened him: "Why are you making such a fuss? If you make any more noise, I'll cut out your tongue!"
Sui San immediately trembled, stopped kowtowing and begged for mercy, cowering and motionless.
Gu Zhengbang paused before saying: "Sui San, don't be afraid, I'm here to ask you just a few questions..."
Sui San was startled when he heard Gu Zhengbang's voice. Only then did he know that there was another person in the room. He could tell by his tone that his identity was unusual.
"Sir, please tell me everything I know. I won't tell lies." Sui San was lying on the floor, very cooperative.
Gu Zhengbang nodded slowly and said, "Very good. In that case, I will get straight to the point."
Sui San, who was lying on the ground, nodded hurriedly.
Gu Zhengbang asked coldly: "Let me ask you, why did you pay to assassinate Uncle An Ping?"
As soon as Sui San heard this question clearly, he was frightened: "No, no, the villain did not pay for the murder, and had no intention of assassinating Uncle An Ping..."
If he was still a little unsure about the identity of the visitors when he was arrested, Sui San could almost conclude at this moment that these people must be closely related to Wude Si. Otherwise, how could they dare to pretend to be Zhongyong Marquis?
The housekeeper himself was caught here, how could he ask about the matter of dealing with Anping Bo Chaiyan?
Gu Zhengbang asked in a calm tone: "If you say no, how can I believe you? Why should I believe you?"
Sui San straightened up a little and said in a panic: "Master, I swear, I really didn't lie. I just followed the instructions of my Marquis to find someone to deal with Uncle An Ping, and he didn't commit any assassination."
What Uncle An Ping means is to teach Uncle An Ping a lesson and help my Lord Hou vent his anger. It is really just venting his anger...everything the villain said is true."
Gu Zhengbang listened to what he said and deliberately remained silent for a moment before asking: "Why is it that Marquis Zhongyong wants to take revenge on Uncle An Ping?"
"I'm going back to you, Sir, because I was at Wangyue Tower last time..."
Sui San immediately told what happened at Wangyue Tower. Not only was he very detailed, but his tone and words also secretly indicated that this matter was actually his fault, not Uncle An Ping's.
Gu Zhengbang found it funny when he heard this, and couldn't help but glance at Mo Di beside him. He saw that Mo Di was also suppressing laughter and trying not to make a sound.
"cough......"
Gu Zhengbang coughed slightly, adjusted his mood, and asked, "How did you bribe Rujuan back then? Tell me about it."
Sui San didn't hesitate at all, and immediately explained in detail how he bribed Rujuan that day.
After finishing speaking, Sui San swore again to ensure that he did not say anything false.
So far, what Gu Zhengbang heard during the interrogation was no different from what he knew, so he turned to the next question.
"Sui San, the following question is very important. You must think it over carefully and then answer it carefully. If you conceal anything, the consequences will be very serious. Do you understand?" Gu Zhengbang's voice made Sui San shudder.
Sui San suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his back. He nodded vigorously and said, "I understand, I understand."
Gu Zhengbang asked: "How many people know about An Pingbo's departure from Beijing?"
Sui San was not stupid. He immediately realized that the situation was unusual and that Chai Yan's departure from Beijing was probably not simple.
After asking the question, Gu Zhengbang emphasized again: "Don't be anxious, think it through before answering."
Sui San swallowed, breathing a little laboredly and said: "Back to the eldest master, except... except for the villain and Rujuan from Qinyuan, only my Marquis knows about it, and the rest are...
....No one knows, yes, no one anymore..."
"Really? Are you sure you didn't miss anyone?" Gu Zhengbang's voice was cold.
Sui San was stunned for a moment, then understood what Gu Zhengbang meant, so he hurriedly said: "Back to the eldest master, the two people from the Guwu sect didn't know. When the villain went to find them, they never revealed who he was.
Regarding the matter of the housekeeper of Zhongyong Hou Mansion, I only say that An Pingbo is the villain’s own enemy.
, and then gave them money to teach people a lesson. The two of them didn't ask much, so they had no way of knowing the inside story... And the lord, this kind of thing is not worthy of publicity, villain.
How dare you let the scoundrels in the market know about your work for the Marquis?"
After Gu Zhengbang thought for a while, he nodded slowly and said: "Remember what you said today. If we find out that what you said is untrue, don't blame me..."
Sui San hurriedly interrupted: "No, no, please believe me. Everything I say is true and absolutely not false."
Sui San didn't dare to listen to what Gu Zhengbang said behind him. Even if it was just a threat, he still felt trembling with fear.
Later, Gu Zhengbang asked some more detailed questions, but Sui San did not dare to hide them and answered them all.
Seeing that the question was almost finished, Gu Zhengbang stood up and prepared to leave.
But just after taking two steps, Gu Zhengbang suddenly thought of a question, so he stopped and asked: "Sui San, the last question..."
"Ah...yes, sir, may I ask," Sui San said hurriedly.
Gu Zhengbang asked in a deep voice: "I heard that your Marquis broke off all contact with his concubines and divorced all his concubines overnight. Is this...?
Really?"
"Really, really, it's all broken, completely broken." Sui San nodded immediately and answered very readily.
"Haha, right..." Gu Zhengbang suddenly sneered, and then asked: "As far as I know, your sister is the concubine of Marquis Zhongyong, and she was divorced by Marquis Zhongyong, how come you must
Not worried or troubled?"
Hearing this, Sui San couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then said hurriedly: "Master, the Marquis treats the villain very well. Even if the villain's sister is not blessed enough to serve the Marquis again, the villain will have no complaints or regrets.
people......."
"Someone is coming!"
When Sui San wanted to continue speaking with high-sounding words, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Gu Zhengbang's low voice.
Gu Zhengbang said coldly: "Cut off his hand tendons and hamstrings, then cut off his tongue, and let him fend for himself here."
"No, no...no, no, sir..."
Sui San was so frightened that he peed in an instant, and his face inside the hood had turned deathly gray.
"呲啷——"
At this time, Sui San heard a short sound of a weapon being unsheathed from behind, and then someone walked towards him.
Sui San's nerves tensed up instantly, and the chill ran from his feet to the top of his head.
The next moment, Sui San collapsed and shouted: "Please forgive me, sir, I will tell you everything, I will tell you everything..."
