Chapter 269: The Big Black Pot Will Fall On His Head
Fan Fengzhi used all her strength and pounced on Gu Zhao like crazy.
The two little cranes who were twisting his arms were not polite to him. With a tacit understanding of twisting and pushing, they pushed him to the ground and slapped him with a scabbard.
"Don't beat him to death." Gu Zhao stopped him in a light tone, "This kind of thing is worse than a pig or a dog, and I want him to watch his whole family's heads fall to the ground. If I let him die now, wouldn't it be an advantage for him?
?”
Fan Fengzhi lay on the ground, her whole body trembling, and her voice was trembling, "Gu Zhao! I, the Fan family, have no enmity with you. You can just arrest me in the execution of your official duties. Why should you torture and humiliate me like this!"
He finally noticed that Gu Zhao was dissatisfied with him from the very beginning, so he slapped him with his hands and kicked him with his feet.
But Fan Fengzhi didn't know when he offended Gu Zhao...
"There is no grievance or enmity? What grudges do the people of Northern Xinjiang have against you? Do you want to commit treason against the enemy and let the Ma Rong come to plunder, torture and kill them?"
"How could the imperial court be so sorry to you that it allows you, the Fan family, to stir up trouble behind your back, encourage Nanshi merchants to go out of business, and put the king in danger?"
"Destroying the village, murdering the pillars! Do you still have no grievances against me?" Gu Zhao narrowed his eyes and looked at Fan Fengzhi, who was shaking even more violently. "I can only say that the hatred between the country and the family is as high as the mountains and the sea. Your entire Fan family
Up and down, everyone deserves to die!"
Fan Fengzhi closed her eyes in pain.
The sound of footsteps came from the secret passage, and all the little cranes were on guard. It was not until they heard the rhythmic clapping, which was the internal code of the Crane Control Division, that they relaxed a little.
A group of small cranes went down to explore the path and jumped out from the entrance of the secret passage.
"Sir, there is more than one secret passage below, there are several intertwined together, leading to different directions."
The leader Bai He saluted Gu Zhao, "I walked forward for about two or three miles and found that there are three directions, but there is a trap at the fork. I dare not try it rashly. I have sent people to guard it. I came here to ask for your instructions. I should
How to dispose of it."
Gu Zhao glanced at Fan Fengzhi, who seemed to be dead on the ground, "Institution? Then take him down and let him lead the way."
Since Fan Fengzhi was the person responsible for building the secret tunnel, he must be very familiar with these mechanisms.
"If he refuses to say it, let him go in front." Gu Zhao said calmly, "Let's break one of his legs first to prevent him from trying to escape."
As soon as Gu Zhao finished speaking, Xiaohe over there said "Okay" and stepped on Fan Fengzhi's calf, crushing his right leg.
Fan Fengzhi screamed again, but no one sympathized with him.
The Control Bureau monitors all officials internally and eliminates enemy spies externally. This kind of businessman who is treasonous and greedy for profit is the object of their deepest hatred.
If Gu Zhao hadn't said that he would spare Fan Fengzhi's life and let him watch the Fan family be destroyed, he might have been beaten half to death by now.
Fan Fengzhi was dragged down the secret passage. Gu Zhao walked behind him and felt a slight airflow blowing past his ears in the secret passage.
The torch swayed, making everyone's shadow sway.
Qin Xinglie was alert and tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword, guarding against any ambush.
When they reached the three-way intersection that Bai He just mentioned, the three little cranes who stayed here came to greet them.
Gu Zhao closed his eyes slightly, recalling the map around Shangjing in his mind, and vaguely guessed where the secret passages in the other two directions would lead.
"Which secret passage did Mr. Wen take?" Fan Fengzhi was asked to sneak over to answer the question.
Fan Fengzhi hesitated for a moment and was punched hard in the stomach, almost vomiting out her dinner.
Gu Zhao pinched his wrist, "I advise you to cooperate a little, and you will suffer less physical pain."
It took Fan Fengzhi a long time to catch her breath, "The one on the right."
"Where does it lead?"
"Outside the city, Fanjiazhuangzi. On the edge of Yuchong Mountain." This direction is basically consistent with Gu Zhao's guess.
"How to break the mechanism?"
When Gu Zhao heard that Fan Fengzhi was not lying, he let go.
Everyone moved forward carefully in the secret passage, but the further they walked, the more frightened they became.
"The Fan family started digging a secret tunnel when they first built the Yunzhou Guild Hall. Moreover, it is such a large-scale secret tunnel. There must be something evil in mind." A white crane said bitterly.
The secret passage not only has three directions, but along the way, you can also see intersections leading to six or seven different directions.
For such a large-scale secret tunnel, if the Fan family hadn't already had evil intentions, there would be no need to spend such money and material resources!
Gu Zhao had people draw all the secret passages by the light of torches, marking the distances and mechanisms in detail.
She looked at the map of secret passages handed over by Xiao He, and there was a hint of anger between her eyebrows: "These directions are all leading out of the city, and they also lead to various places in the suburbs. The Fan family is not just trying to avoid disaster!"
Qin Xinglie suddenly turned his head and met Gu Zhao's eyes. Both of them thought of the three hundred Donghao warriors who mysteriously disappeared.
At that moment, Qin Xinglie's scalp went numb - if three hundred Donghao warriors sneaked into the upper capital through a secret passage, sneaked into important areas of the capital under the guidance of the Qinglong Guard, and launched an armed riot as an excuse for King Li to fight against injustice, this inexplicable and huge
The blame will fall on his head!
Almost at the same time, Gu Zhao also said, "Pay attention to the various traces in the secret passage to see if a large group of people passed through the secret passage before!"
Fan Fengzhi was suddenly startled, and her eyes that had been closed suddenly opened, but immediately closed them tightly again, pretending not to know anything.
"This kid must know something!" His instant change had already been seen by Xiaohe, who controlled him, and he immediately exposed it without hesitation.
At this time, Gu Zhao was basically certain that the Fan family was involved in hiding the Donghao warriors!
His face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm, and Gu Zhao's heart was filled with murderous intent.
