Chapter 752: The Truth
"Report to my lord, twenty-one people were injured, two of them were seriously injured, and the rest were slightly injured. No one was killed in battle, and the thief was captured with minor injuries!"
Shen Hao was quite satisfied with the result of the battle. What's more, the damage to this alley was not that great, and because Xuanqingwei's martial law did not hurt the people, this is the most important thing to pay attention to when fighting in the imperial city. It was not in vain that it took him two and a half days to set it up, and everything went smoothly.
In fact, Shen Hao still underestimated Liao Er's strength. The other party's cultivation was not only in the middle of the Yuandan realm, but also his talisman technique was unheard of. Li Fan suppressed the masters of the Black Flag Battalion who had already formed a siege.
Although there is a formation to help, and with sufficient manpower, the opponent will be exhausted slowly, but just in case, or there will be a sudden suicide by jumping over the wall, Shen Hao still asks two guards who are following him to help him capture.
There is another reason why I don't want to delay it for too long, and attract the entanglement of the local government or the Ministry of punishment.
Liao Er's resistance was no longer effective after the two masters from the Yuandan Realm and the Later Realm joined in the arrest, and he was put on a special plate lock to imprison his cultivation in just half a stick of incense. Originally, I wanted to paste the talisman that imprisoned my cultivation base, but thinking of the guy's secretive means with the talisman before, I had to give up just to be on the safe side.
After a large group of people from the Black Flag Battalion withdrew from the back alley and canceled the magic circle, the shops in the back alley ran out tremblingly to look around. Just now they found that the back door of their shop had disappeared, and they couldn't climb up the wall , as if covered by an invisible hood, there was still the sound of fighting behind the wall.
Now when I opened the door and went out, I saw an alley with scorched black ground, potholes, and blood in some places. Feeling terrified, he thought he had encountered something evil, so he hurriedly and nervously reported to the police. Among them is an inconspicuous shop guy who disappeared in this strange event.
Naturally, the news cannot be hidden from the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the local yamen, but even if they knew that Xuan Qingwei was in action, there was no way to get a detailed report, but they were told that it was a secret mission, so they could only guess secretly in doubt.
If someone is arrested, he will definitely not return to Fengri City, but choose to be imprisoned at the Fushi Yamen of Jingxi Town. Firstly, it is nearby, and secondly, the defense force here is far stronger than the newly established Black Flag Battalion Commanding Yamen in Fengri City, which can ensure that important criminals will not be robbed.
I thought that Jiang Cheng would come and go, but Jiang Cheng didn't show up from the beginning to the end, and seemed to be directly waiting for the result in peace.
And Shen Hao had already prepared for it, the most famous torturers in Fengri City, Lianfeng City, and Guangshun City were all transferred here, and began to extract confessions with the torture tools of the Jingxi Governor's Yamen.
The good news is that this Liao Er is not the kind of evil cultivator with a broken brain. His mouth and mind are not sealed, and there is a possibility that something can be obtained through torture.
The bad news is that Liao Er's mouth is very tight, and it is very difficult to open his mouth in a short period of time. It will take some time and some means of attacking the heart.
Don't think that torture is just "beating people". The way inside is very deep. Every murderer who is proficient in torture is an expert in psychology and physiology. He can control emotions such as "fear, worry, anger, hesitation" far better than ordinary people. Much more precise.
Even after confirming that Liao Er is not the kind of evil cultivator with a broken brain, several torture killers carefully sorted out a torture plan for Shen Hao to review, full of confidence and at the same time high-spirited, ready to bite Liao Er This tough bone.
Small dish, rest, hard dish, rest, questioning, small dish, questioning, hard dish The law is that it takes a few torturers to master it, the effect is not obvious at the beginning, but soon sit in the torture room and participate in it personally Shen Hao felt the change in Liao Er's tone after this torture.
If you don’t speak, you will suffer, if you don’t speak again, you will suffer again, and it will gradually change from silence to swearing, then shouting, and finally whimpering.
Shen Hao didn't go out to get some air until the feces and urine flowed out from behind. After another stick of incense, the killer inside came out to report that Liao Er had spoken. At this time, two days had passed since Liao Er was captured.
As long as you start talking, the rest will be easy.
In the middle of the night that night, Liao Er should have said almost everything. He was detained in the dungeon with the board lock locked all the time, and special stone pillars were used. The double insurance was worried that this guy would have some secret means to break free.
Shen Hao, on the other hand, sorted out the confessions he had obtained overnight, and planned to report them to Jiang Cheng for review when he was on business at dawn.
First of all, Liao Er is indeed a pseudonym. This person's real name is Zhou Yue, a monk of the fifth level of the Yuandan Realm under the Bloody Clothes School of the City of Death, and to be precise, he is a well-known talisman master.
As Shen Hao judged, Zhou Yue was indeed in the lineage of Ye Jiao, a genius talisman master, and his teacher was Lin Qinghong, one of Ye Jiao's two apprentices.
But there is one thing Shen Hao guessed wrong. Zhou Yue did not come to the Imperial City because of the appointment of the Bloody Clothes Sect or the command of his master, but he himself accepted Yang Wenguang's invitation and came to help as a "friend". benefits and promises.
Even according to Zhou Yue's statement, although the people of the Blood Clothes Sect knew about Yang Wenguang's affairs, they had no actual support, and his master Lin Qinghong kept a distant attitude towards Yang Wenguang. So although there is a relationship between Yang Wenguang and the Blood Clothes Sect of the City of Death, the Blood Clothes Sect did not participate in his intrusion into the "Great Examination" this time.
At least that's what Zhou Yue said, but whether it's true or not is still unknown.
In addition, King Qian and King Lu were indeed the hands of this Zhou Yue, and they used his best method of "integrating skills into characters" to integrate the "Nine Skills Dispersing Soul Curse" into the wine pot sealing paper. When the sealing mud is unscrewed, it will slowly use the seal to penetrate into the soul of the opponent, and finally the soul will be scattered and killed.
The so-called storybook before was just a cover-up arranged by Zhou Yue to divert clues from the Wang's wine shop to the bookstore and King Lu, so as to hide himself and wait for an opportunity.
Of course, the clues left behind are also sufficiently hidden. If he didn't find out the "story book" that Qian Wang liked to read at the beginning, Zhou Yue didn't care. He just lost an excuse to blame him, and he would just find another opportunity.
In the words Yang Wenguang told Zhou Yue: Concealment is the most important thing, killing is second, and other things are optional.
As for the killing of King Lu later, according to Zhou Yue, it was a temporary intention, and after killing King Lu, he needed to change another identity. Anyway, he has the Disguise Technique in his hands, who will know when he will change into a middle-aged man's appearance? He just didn't expect Xuan Qingwei to find him so soon.
Apart from these, Zhou Yue knew very little about Yang Wenguang's affairs and plans. He only knew that Yang Wenguang was here for revenge, but he didn't know what the specific plan was. He only heard Yang Wenguang say that he wanted to "get back what should belong to him". Presumably it was because he wanted to seize the throne of Jingjiu Dynasty, right? Zhou Yue thought so.
