Several people sat down. At Fang Jizhong's instructions, Wang Anquan briefly told Li Nanqing's confession, and Zhang Fuling was shocked when he heard this.

For nothing else, the remnants of the previous dynasty have not caused trouble for a long time. Such a sudden action is really puzzling. Now it involves the support of the Jinwu Sect’s ministers. If this matter is reported, it will be a bloody storm.

Fang Jizhong looked at Liu Fudong without pause.

"Tell me what you are going to find out."

Liu Fudong stood up and bowed and said:

"Last night, I received a secret report from the factory guard. I found that the house was empty at Ma Wenliang's home. However, when the factory guard searched, I found that there was a noise in the kitchen. I opened it and found that there was a secret passage below. The secret passage was similar to the underground palace and the totem of the Jinwu Sect appeared. Therefore, please ask my godfather to send me to take someone to find out."

Speaking of this, Liu Fudong paused, took out a piece of paper from his arms, opened it and handed it to Fang Jizhong and Zhang Fuling to watch, and then continued:

"We have printed the carvings on the door. It is indeed the three-legged golden crow of the Golden Crow Sect. There is a hidden lock on the door. After using some force to open it, we can directly enter the bottom. The back of the rubbing is the underground road map.

It seems to be a stronghold, with traces of storing items, but it has been emptied at this time. We only found a few empty wooden boxes, some scattered gold and silver, and found two broken tokens with words on it."

As he said that, Fang Hua took out a cloth bag from his cuffs again and placed two broken and rusty tokens on the table.

Zhang Fuling glanced at him and was shocked at this moment. He didn't expect that such an explosion would involve so many things, both the previous dynasty and the Golden Crow Sect.

Fang Jizhong picked up the sign and looked at it carefully. Although there were rust on it, the area of ​​the rust was not large. It was probably because it was damaged, so it was discarded and used. It was lost in the corner and was not found.

On the token, you can see that the original royal blue paint was painted. In addition to the three-legged golden crow, a character with a trumpet is also carved on it.

The other token is obviously more finely crafted, painted with vermilion paint, the three-legged golden crow is golden, with a character Chu carved below, and when he saw this Fang Jizhong's eyes squinted instantly.

"Chu? The imperial surname of the Wei State in the previous dynasty was Chu. Is this related to it?"

Zhang Fuling pursed his lips tightly. Vermilion red is nothing on the beam. It is a color that newlyweds can wear, but in the previous dynasty, only the royal family could use Vermilion red, while others could only use Alizarin red or Ochre red.

So even though this person was not a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty, he had a great identity. He looked up at Fang Jizhong and saw that he was calm, Zhang Fuling signaled to Fang Hua.

"You continue to say, are there any clues afterwards?"

Fang Hua nodded and continued:

"After searching, we didn't find anything else we were about to evacuate. Just when we were about to go out, a factory guard reached out to hold the oil lamp at the exit. The oil lamp rotated instantly, and the poisonous arrow flew out of the stone ball and rolled down. We evacuated in time, but three people were injured, and the factory guard who twisted the lamp was seriously injured."

Fang Jizhong frowned. Such carelessness really made the factory guards embarrassed, and his face suddenly became a little gloomy.

"But what else can I find?"

Fang Hua shivered. Fang Jizhong was on the verge of getting angry, so he quickly continued:

"After evacuating, we found that the Ma family's back house collapsed directly. We went over and found that there was another entrance to the underground palace, and it seemed that there was a passage that was heading north and directly to the direction of the capital. However, it had been destroyed and seemed to have been abandoned. If it was excavated, it would take some time."

Fang Jizhong pondered for a moment. This was too big. What could he and Zhang Fuling decide? He looked at Zhang Fuling and said:

"Our family will go to the palace and report these matters to His Majesty. As for Hu Zongmao's family, Lord Zhang needs to be carefully interrogated. Ma Wenliang asked Uncle Zhou to do his best to treat him. This person really cannot die!"

What can Zhang Fuling say? At this time, he can only agree. After all, they were tied together by this case, but it is indeed necessary to report such a big deal to the emperor.

"Okay, then I'll work hard for the father-in-law. I'll immediately interrogate Hu Zongmao. By the way, the second son of the Hu family mentioned just now, where is this person?"

Wang Anquan was stunned. Seeing Fang Jizhong stopped, he hurriedly got closer.

"Master Zhang Mingjian, just now, in order to make Li Nanqing speak, her brother and the second son of the Hu family have all used it. Unexpectedly, after cutting the second son of the Hu family, Li Nanqing spoke. His Majesty was urging him tightly, and he was all a small success!"

Zhang Fuling nodded slightly, and he disagreeed with the punishment of the torture, but he did the special matters specially. Two days had passed since seven days, and there was no clue at all. At this time, no one was anxious and could not control much.

"It's enough if the person is not dead. It's said that the tiger will not eat the poison. See if he can use this son to make Hu Zongmao speak!"

Fang Jizhong was very moved. He didn't expect that one day he would come to discuss the interrogation with the selfless Zhang Fuling.

No matter what, the factory guards were really embarrassed about the explosion and had no news at all. And the Golden Crow Sect was doing something under his nose, and he didn't even know anything about it. This was the biggest omission.

"Thank you all the hard work, Lord Zhang!"

After saying that, this time, Fang Jizhong took Liu Fudong and others and left directly.

Wang Anquan was kept and Fang Hua was called to follow him. After all, he was in Beishan for several months and was quite familiar with the road. Wang Anquan knew the details of the interrogation of Hu Xiangqiu, and he could also help Zhang Fuling.

Seeing Fang Jizhong leaving, Zhang Fuling looked at Fang Hua and Wang Anquan.

"Fang Hua goes to find Zhongyuan Bo. Ma Wenliang needs to take care of him carefully. Once he wakes up, he must notify him in time. Of course, there are people brought back by Liu Fudong. Please help him properly treat him."

Fang Hua had nothing to say, so hurry up and make arrangements.

Zhang Fuling looked at Wang Anquan at this moment. Wang Anquan swallowed a mouthful of water, feeling a little unsure. After all, he almost cut Hu Xiang's mouth, and he couldn't resist this look.

"Eunuch Wang brought Hu Xiangqi over. I want Hu Zongmao to see how miserable his son looks now. By the way, can he still move now?"

Wang Anquan paused and looked at Zhang Fuling in confusion.

"I wonder if Lord Zhang hopes Hu Xiangqi can move or can't move?"

Zhang Fuling was stunned for a moment and instantly understood Wang Anquan's intention. It was obvious that he didn't understand himself and didn't know what his next plan was. Zhang Fuling waved his hand.

"It's okay, it's okay. You haven't executed him, so bring the person here to Hu Zongmao to see without deliberately creating scars."

Wang Anquan quickly bowed and said yes, then called the person to leave. Zhang Wanxun came over now and bowed and said:

"Sir, does this Censor Hu need to be punished? If you need a humble position, you can prepare it?"

Zhang Fuling shook his head and sighed. Although he was not familiar with Hu Zongmao, this person had a good reputation. He never maliciously commented on anyone, nor did he participate in party struggles. His reputation and character were considered good.

But I didn’t expect that such a person would be supported by the Jinwu Sect in the previous dynasty. I thought it was incredible.

"Go and prepare a pot of wine and two wine cups for me. Although he has now become a prisoner, he was once an official in the same dynasty and is still a knowledgeable man."

Zhang Wanxun was stunned. Although he was a little stunned, he was not stupid. At this time, he was investigating the remnants of the previous dynasty. His own lord actually wanted to have a drink with this person because he was an official in the same dynasty. How could such a thought work? When Zhang Wanxun thought of this, he quickly shook his head.

"No, the factory guards are here, and they are not in Shuntian Mansion, absolutely not!"

Zhang Fuling smiled, "Go, don't worry, it's not for the sake of feeling, I think he is ready to die, but just ask if he has anything to say to stay. If he chooses this path, what will happen to the natural way?"

Zhang Wanxun was skeptical, but since it was his own order, he had no right to stop him, so he quickly got up and prepared. This is Beishan, whether it is Taohuazui or Wuliangye, it is easy to find.

After a moment, Zhang Wanxun went back and walked back with a box and wine cup. Zhang Fuling nodded.

At this moment, Wang Anquan ran back quickly, and the two factory guards behind him were holding a man.

The man was not wearing a robe on his upper body, just a pair of underwear, his arms were wrapped in thick white cloth, but the blood stains on his arms were very obvious, and the man was drunk with his head down, his eyes were blurred.

Seeing Zhang Fuling tilted his head and looking at him, he obviously didn't know what was going on in this state. Wang Anquan hurried over and whispered:

"This is a means of torture. Hu Xiangqi was fed a medicine. This is fed when he was tortured. It is analgesic. It is somewhat similar to being drunk. If Lord Zhang hopes that he will wake up immediately, I will spray some water on him and return to normal immediately!"

Zhang Fuling thought for a while and nodded at Wang Anquan.

"Okay, let's spray water. Since they let the father and son meet each other for the last time, they can at least say a few words!"

Wang Anquan was quick to move. He took the water bag, raised his head and poured it into his mouth, and sprayed it at Hu Xiangyan who was holding the two behind him. Hu Xiangyan, who was drunk, shook his head and tried to open his eyes, as if it was because the face and mouth were wet, and he licked his lips. This action made Wang Anquan feel disgusted.

He quickly raised his hand and waved his hand, stared at the two of them and shouted:

"The bastard is quicker, hurry up and pat him and wake up and send him in."

The two of them naturally knew why Wang Anquan yelled, so they quickly slapped Hu Xiangyu's face from side to side. For a moment, Hu Xiangyu hummed with pain and opened his eyes. Seeing the person standing in front of him, he seemed to feel suspicious.

When Wang Anquan saw it, he quickly waved his hand. Several people followed Zhang Fuling into the room. Hu Zongmao inside was treated well and was not tied to a shelf. He sat on the ground with a chain tied to his hands. He heard the steps and looked up at the door.

Seeing Zhang Fuling come in, several people followed behind him. Hu Xiangyu was naked, and was stunned at first, then he realized that this was his son, and a trace of shock flashed across his face.

Zhang Fuling sat down, and Wang Anquan personally grabbed Hu Xiangyu's arm and pressed the person to the ground. A weak scholar was stripped of his clothes and his arms were cut. At this moment, except for the unbearable pain, he had no ability to resist.

Hu Zongmao sighed imperceptibly, then closed his eyes, as if only in this way could he let everything go for the time being.

It is only a matter of time to be arrested and die, and interrogation is also a process that must be followed. Even if he is sitting in the hall today, he will do this.

When I think about it, my mood will be different. It seems that my heart, which was sore when I see my son, calmed down suddenly, opened my eyes again, and completely lost the way I used to be.

Zhang Fuling looked at Hu Zongmao, and then his eyes fell on Hu Xiangqiu.

"Take the gauze apart, show it to Yushi Hu, and let him tell how this was formed?"

Wang Anquan knelt on one knee and quickly said yes, then stepped forward, and did not cut it directly with scissors or knife, but slowly took apart the blood-stained gauze in circles.

要知道德胜他们只是给胡祥璆进行了包扎,可这位胡二公子是被王安泉割下去两块肉,有巨大缺损不说,伤口还极深,纱布每拆一圈胡祥璆就疼的呲牙.

After all, I was given stinky mazi soup during the execution, and I didn’t feel it hurt at all. It’s different now. Wang Anquan did this to prolong the pain, and Hu Zongmao took a closer look. This is all my fault and my son paid for his life.

Hu Xiangyan glanced at Wang Anquan. He remembered that this person was the one who executed the execution. He glanced at his father beside him and instantly understood their intentions. He quickly gritted his teeth and stopped humming.

Who is Wang Anquan? How could he not understand this? The gauze was almost over. The wound that had just begun to solidify was completely fit with the gauze. Wang Anquan smiled and pulled it hard, and the gauze was torn open directly.

Hu Xiangqiu's scream, and the miserable scream made Hu Zongmao open his eyes and look over. Blood flowed down Hu Xiangqiu's arm. Zhang Fuling waved his hand, and Wang Anquan was very upright and pulled Hu Xiangqiu to Hu Zongmao.

"Civil Secretary Hu takes a good look. I think you don't know how the wound was formed. Let me explain. The doctor's daughter Li Nanqing was the fiancée of your second son.

That man was a cruel man, and he didn't even say that he was tortured. However, when he was slashing Hu Xiang, she couldn't stand it after only two blows. He told him what she knew. Whatever the Hu family was supported by the Jinwu Cult, and the time and place that needed to be threatened, all of them were recruited."

Zhang Fuling waved his hand, and Wang Anquan quickly saluted, then tied Hu Xiangyu with iron chains, and then took the people out.

Hu Zongmao looked at Zhang Fuling, not knowing what this meant for a moment, so he didn't rush to speak. Seeing Zhang Fuling carrying two wine bowls and a pot of peach blossoms, he walked straight towards him.

"Just just now, you were the censor and I was the young minister of Dali Temple. At that time, many things were against each other, but I have always recognized your character. I am not pedantic and insightful, not afraid of power, and not participating in party struggles. It is considered a clean stream in the court.

But now I didn’t expect that I would meet in this way.”

As he said that, Zhang Fuling put down the wine bowl, poured it into Taohuazui, put one bowl in front of Hu Zongmao, and held up the other bowl alone.

Hu Zongmao tilted his head, shook his scattered hair to one side, and looked at Zhang Fuling with confusion. He did not expect that Zhang Fuling would sit on the ground with him and even asked him to have a bowl of wine.

He glanced at his son who was tilted to one side, grabbed the chain with one hand, picked up the wine bowl with the other, raised his head and took a big sip. The spicy and stimulating taste almost made him choke and cry, and it felt instantly warm from his mouth to his stomach and intestines.

"This peach blossom is really delicious. It's not a waste of time to drink another bowl before death. I can't live a life of will. Lord Zhang naturally has a prosperous official career."

Zhang Fuling held the wine bottle and put it on Hu Zongmao, and then put it on himself, looking up at Hu Zongmao.

"Censor Hu thinks that this peach blossom is delicious?"

"Nature is a rare delicacy in the world!"
