Chapter 704: Forced Confession
Yang Ruping also said: "Don't worry, Deputy Hall Master Zhong, our hall will send people to Yixiang Peak immediately to explain the whole story to the leader."
"What's the whole story?" Deputy Hall Master Zhong sneered: "I haven't even met Zhang Xiaohu yet, but the Hall Master already knows the whole story?"
Then, without waiting for Yang Ruping to answer, she raised her hands and said, "Hall Master Yang, I am going to ask Zhang Xiaohu something. Will Sir Hall Master also follow me in?"
Yang Ruping gritted her teeth and said: "Forget it, since Deputy Hall Master Zhong has volunteered, then this will be left to Deputy Hall Master Zhong. Report to me after you find out the result."
After saying that, he turned around and left. Halfway through, he turned around and said, "I forgot, after Deputy Hall Master Zhong finishes asking, maybe I have something to ask, so Zhang Xiaohu, Chang Ge and Chen Chen, you are not allowed to torture them at will." , I’m here to ask you what’s wrong with these three people.”
Deputy Hall Master Zhong smiled and said loudly: "Hall Master Yang, how can I get them to tell the truth without torture? Do you think it is possible?"
"Haha" Yang Ruping ignored it and just said: "Then it depends on your method."
"You~" Deputy Hall Master Zhong was furious. He stared at Yang Ruping's back for a long time, and then laughed out loud. He won the token, but his face showed disdain.
This is a room similar to the dungeon on Bai Yuefeng, except that there are blazing torches on the wall next to it. Zhang Xiaohu is sitting on a stool, looking coldly at Zhong Pei and Zhao Jian who are walking into the cell.
Zhong Pei walked up to Zhang Xiaohu and stared at him for a long time. Then he reached out and touched the big point on Zhang Xiaohu's chest. An internal force flowed into Zhang Xiaohu's meridians. After it had traveled for a week, he said with a smile: " Congratulations to Master Nephew Zhang. In just a few short days, you have made quite a breakthrough in your internal strength."
Zhang Xiaohu squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Let Deputy Hall Master Zhong laugh at me. How can this disciple enter the Hall Master's eyes with this little internal strength? Is it because of this that he captured the disciple?"
Deputy Hall Master Zhong shook his head and said: "You have been cultivating your internal skills late, and your foundation is too poor. Even if you ate some heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the Orchid Grand Canyon, you are only at your current level of cultivation. How can I see you in this world?" In the eyes?"
Zhang Xiaohu was surprised and said: "Vice Hall Master Zhong Mingjian, this disciple just ate a vermilion fruit in the Orchid Grand Canyon, and that's how his internal strength improved greatly. Moreover, Junior Sister Changge and Junior Sister Chen Chen also ate it. You The old man will know as soon as he asks.”
Deputy Hall Master Zhong waved his hands and said, "I don't care what you eat. I can tell just by looking at the residual medicinal power in your meridians. This is not what I want to ask."
Zhang Xiaohu glanced at Zhao Jian whose expression changed next to him.
Qidao asked: "Why did Deputy Hall Master Zhong bring his disciple here late at night?"
Deputy Hall Master Zhong smiled and said: "Zhang Xiaohu, please don't evade the important and trivial with me. With your internal strength, eating two red fruits may not be enough for me to get into the eyes of this hall. You'd better explain it carefully. What on earth is going on with the beast tide in Orchid Grand Canyon?"
"Zhu Guo? Beast tide?" Zhang Xiaohu was stunned and said, "That vermilion fruit is the legendary Zhu Guo? It seems different from what I thought."
Then he said in confusion: "Our convoy in Piaomiao Hall did not encounter any beast tide, it just encountered a pack of bloody wolves. This... the leader of these teams, Senior Brother Zhao, knows better than the disciples."
Deputy Hall Master Zhong didn't even look at Zhao Jian and said, "Zhao Jian said what he should say when he came back. What I want to know is what happened to you and what you did."
"It's very simple. After we were discovered by the blood wolves that day, we ran as fast as we could, but we were still surrounded by the blood wolves. The disciples, Chang Ge, and Chen Chen's horses were faster, and their directions were different from those of the other disciples. When we were surrounded, When we went up, there was no sign of the other disciples. Of course, the disciples and the other three were no match for the blood wolves. After the horses were eaten by the blood wolves, the disciples were resisting desperately when they heard a loud cry from the sky, so , those blood wolves abandoned their disciples and left."
Deputy Hall Master Zhong was stunned: "How can it be so simple?"
"yes?"
"Nonsense~" Zhao Jian next to him became furious and shouted, "Why didn't I hear it? Is this just nonsense?"
"Hey~ Where was Senior Brother Zhao when we were surrounded by wolves? How could we not hear him?"
Zhang Xiaohu smiled slightly.
"Shut up, I didn't tell you to say it." Deputy Hall Master Zhong turned around and scolded Zhao Jian, and asked: "Then why didn't you return to Shixin Peak earlier like Zhao Jian? Instead, you stayed there for so long?"
Zhang Xiaohu looked innocent and said: "Did Deputy Hall Master Zhong forget what the disciple said just now? When the disciple, Junior Sister Chang Ge and Junior Sister Chen Chen were hungry and thirsty, they ate vermilion fruits and later fainted. "
Deputy Hall Master Zhong was speechless. "Zhu Guo" was just a legend. Some inner disciples had indeed taken it many years ago, but he had never seen it himself. Naturally, he didn't know the symptoms of taking it, but he couldn't tell what he said. Verified.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhong Pei said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Master Nephew Zhang's story-telling skills are very first-class. He is almost as good as a scholar who writes a book. He is watertight. However, this is not what I want to know. You are still talking to the Beast Tide." It’s related.”
Zhang Xiaohu frowned. The plot he had made up earlier was all thought up by him and Chang Ge. He only attributed everything to the loud scream. Anyway, he had heard it before, and there were no living people except them. It was impossible to deal with it. Zheng, when they came out of the valley, they heard that Zhao Jian had also escaped from danger. In this way, the words of three people are more trustworthy than one person, and no one may actually pursue it.
But Zhang Xiaohu and others did not expect that someone really wanted to investigate the details. At this point, they could only bite the bullet and talk about it. Anyway, Zhang Xiaohua's matter must not be talked about. Moreover, Zhang Xiaohu also knew that, The status of female disciples in the Piao Miao Sect is different. Even if Chang Ge and Chen Chen were captured, Deputy Hall Master Xu would not do anything to them. He would just grit his teeth and hold on tightly. Who could do anything?
However, at this time, Deputy Hall Master Xu did not care about the blood wolves, but the mention of the beast tide left Zhang Xiaohu confused.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaohu probed: "But I don't know what Deputy Hall Master Xu wants to know about the beast tide? The disciple was with Senior Brother Zhao before encountering the wolves. The disciple should know less than Senior Brother Zhao."
"That's all superficial. Zhao Jian is just an ordinary disciple of your Piaomiao Sect. How do you know the core secrets of your Piaomiao Sect? Your Piaomiao Sect is also a major sect of inheritance. Don't you have any ulterior secrets? Or, Isn’t there any way to cause a tide of beasts?”
"Of course, I know that you have only been a member for a short period of time. You may not have any feelings for the Piaomiao Sect, but you did it because of the instigation of certain people. If you said, well, just name it, We will release you immediately, don’t worry, not to mention that you reported meritoriously, even if you bring back four carriages of spiritual herbs, we will give you a lighter sentence.”
"You...don't you want to name one or two names?"
"You..." Zhang Xiaohu was angry. Only then did he realize that Deputy Hall Master Zhong's plan was to wipe out all the Piaomiao Sect's forces. Moreover, he actually used the beast tide as a reason.
What is the beast tide? It is something related to the lives of thousands of disciples of Chuanxiang Sect. Let alone Zhang Xiaohu not knowing the whole story, even if he knew that it was related to the Piaomiao Sect, he would never tell it.
"Vice Hall Master Xu really thinks highly of his disciples. How can a disciple provoke a tide of beasts? There is no one behind the instigation."
Zhang Xiaohu said coldly but decisively.
"But how do you explain how you drove four carriages from the east side of the Orchid Grand Canyon, um, using elk as mounts, to the south exit? That was across the entire Orchid Prairie, You haven’t encountered any ferocious beasts yet? Don’t tell me that you can defeat all the invincible enemies in the Orchid Grand Canyon just with your martial arts, hahaha~~”
Zhang Xiaohu was speechless. This was true. He regretted not listening to Zhang Xiaohua's advice in the Orchid Grand Canyon. He could only smile and said: "Maybe it's because of the disciple's good character, maybe it's because of the dozens of undead in our Miao Miao Hall." Bless me, my disciple did not encounter any ferocious beasts."
Seeing that Zhang Xiaohu had pushed him all the way, Deputy Hall Master Xu was not angry, but felt confident, stroking his palms and said: "Senior nephew Zhang, you are the junior of this hall. I don't want to be too harsh. If you are a talented person, you can be a scholar of knowledge and current affairs." If you don’t eat the toast, then the only thing waiting for you is a fine drink.”
Zhang Xiaohu looked at Zhong Pei and then at Zhao Jian. He knew that speaking out the sound of the horse neighing at this time would only add to the joke, but would arouse Zhao Jian's suspicion. Even Zhang Xiaohu had already begun to suspect it at this time. Could it be that some of the tricks that Deputy Hall Master Zhong instructed Zhao Jian to do can only be effective if they are said in front of Hall Master Yang?
So, Zhang Xiaohu shook his head and said: "This kid is stupid and can only tell the truth. If you want me to make things up, I'd better find someone else."
Then Zhao Jian tilted his chin and said, "Senior Brother Zhao seems to have a deep understanding of this technique."
"You..." Zhao Jian's face was very ugly.
"Hey, why are you Piao Miao sect just waiting for you to show off? There was He Tianshu before, and now you are here. Do you think you can resist it better than He Tianshu? Master Zhang, please think about He Tianshu, but don't wait until now. At that point, when one’s life is ruined, what fun is there?”
Hearing Deputy Hall Master Zhong say this, Zhang Xiaohu's face also changed slightly. However, this matter was not only related to his younger brother, but also to be implicated by Deputy Hall Master Zhong as a member of the Miao Miao Faction. How could he explain? Zhang Xiaohu almost believed it. Even if he told the truth now, Deputy Hall Master Zhong might not believe him. He just wanted... what he wanted.
