"Master Qian, I am willing to tell you everything Lord Qian said. I just ask you to give me a way out. If Master Qian comes to Wei Chen again in the future, Wei Chen is also willing to find out information for Master Qian.

"As long as I can save my life, I can do whatever you want me to do."

When Li Zian heard this, he chuckled and said, "Why do you need to go to such trouble if I want you to speak?

"That's right. Since Mr. Chu came to Huguang, he has always been interested in the mountains and rivers. He is as carefree as the wandering clouds and wild cranes, and knows nothing about the affairs in the palace.

"In the prison of Prince Rui's Mansion, there are ten thousand ways to get people to talk.

"And negotiating terms with you is the most stupid kind of thing.

"Do you think I look stupid?"

Before Li Zian finished speaking, Chu Yichen heard the sound of a mechanism starting up.

The walls on three sides of the room slowly rotated in turn, revealing the torture instruments hanging on the walls.

Only then did Chu Yichen realize the source of the smell of blood he just smelled.

Although the torture instruments all over the wall had been washed clean and shone with an eerie cold light, Chu Yichen seemed to have seen the terrifying appearance of them covered with his own flesh and blood.

Although Chu Yichen was a martial artist, he had never been on the battlefield, and he had no integrity to speak of. The moment he saw the instruments of torture, he started to feel two wars.

"Actually, I'm not interested in what you guys are talking about." Li Zian said casually, "Isn't it just about the northwest border!"

Chu Yichen had just been frightened by the torture instruments all over the wall. When he heard Li Zian's words again, there was a buzz in his head.

If Li Zian already knew everything, then wouldn't his only purpose be to avenge Lady Tong?

Chu Yichen couldn't hold himself any longer this time. He felt a rush of heat in his crotch and was so frightened that he peed on the spot.

Just when Li Zian was disgusted by Chu Yichen, people from Prince Rui's Mansion and the Mansion Office were searching from house to house in the city looking for someone.

Qiao Shuoming led a small team to an alley in the west of the city. He waved his hand and said: "Group in pairs, knock on the door, and check each person according to the household registration. Anyone who has a foreigner must check the official road."

Please ask me why I came to Wuchang Mansion and what I was doing the night before yesterday. Is there anyone who can prove it?

"When you encounter someone who looks flustered or who is hiding his words, you can detain him first and then talk to him."

In response, everyone dispersed and knocked on the door separately.

Qiao Shuoming also led one of his men to the nearest house and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" A young woman's voice sounded in the yard. Soon, a teenage girl came out to open the door. She was stunned when she saw an officer outside the door.

Her eyes were panicked for a moment, and then she pretended to be calm and said, "Master, what's the matter?"

"Recently, many outsiders have come to the city, so according to the requirements above, we have to go door-to-door to check whether the household registration and population are consistent. For outsiders, we have to check with the road guide."

Qiao Shuoming quickly scanned the girl from head to toe, and paused slightly when he saw her waist.

There are some bulges on the back of her waist, which may be weapons hidden there.

Qiao Shuoming subconsciously placed his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll get it for you." The girl said and tried to close the door.

Qiao Shuoming, however, pressed against the door panel, put his other hand behind his back, gestured to his subordinates, and then said: "Don't close the door in a hurry. It sounds like you are not a local, right? First tell me how many people are in your family,

Where did you come from, and why did you come to Wuchang Prefecture?"

"Lord, I am indeed not a local, but my girl is a local, and I was bought back to serve her."

"Oh, that's it. What's your family's last name? How many people are there? Does this yard belong to your own family or is it rented?"

"The host's surname is Bai, we are the only one, and the house is rented." Although the girl answered all questions, she made many small gestures when speaking.

First, both hands were kneading the hem of her clothes, and then she unconsciously pinched the fingers of her left hand with her right hand. Everything showed the uneasiness in her heart.

"Then please go in and announce that I need to see the family register and the servant's deed of sale, and then ask everyone in your family to come out and see me."

"This..." The girl hesitated when she heard this, but she still said, "Please wait here, sir. I'll go in and tell my girl first."

She said, closing the door with a bang, turning around and heading back to the back house.

At this time, the government officials saw Qiao Shuoming's gesture and had already gathered around the small courtyard.

The girl quickly arrived at the second entrance.

I saw more than a dozen people sitting or standing in the yard. They were all dressed in shorts, with straps on their forearms and calves, and weapons on their waists.

At first glance, it looks like a nursing home, but if you look closely, you will find that these people are actually women disguised as men.

Just as the girl was about to enter the room to communicate, she heard a crisp "pop" sound coming from the room, and she immediately stopped hesitantly.

There were only two people in the room at this time, and the one sitting at the top was a woman in her thirties. She was panting heavily with anger, and the hand she had just beaten was clenched into a fist.

"Third sister is the secret stake that I finally planted into the Shen family. Do you know how much effort it took me to get people into the Shen family?

"How dare you pretend to pass orders in my name and use her as your revenge knife!

"It's good now that someone has discovered it. Not to mention that Third Sister got in, everyone is implicated by you and even hides!

"Nowadays, the streets are full of people from the government and the palace. You only care about yourself. If everyone is exposed because of you, can you afford this responsibility?"

The person standing below was a young girl. She was slapped but her expression did not change. She lowered her eyes and said, "Miss Bai, everything is my fault. If you want to be beaten or punished, it's up to you.

"But as soon as I heard that San Mei'er was working in the Shen family, I couldn't control myself. I..."

The young girl gritted her teeth.

"They killed my mother and brother, and almost killed me. I wish I could kill them with a thousand knives!"

"Why should I suffer all this, while they can still live a prosperous and comfortable life as if nothing happened..."

"You kid..." After hearing her gritted words, Miss Bai sighed, and her anger seemed to have subsided a lot, "Come here and let me see if it hurts?"

As Miss Bai spoke, she raised her hand to caress her cheek, her wide sleeves slipped down, and a birthmark the size of a copper coin was revealed at the tiger's mouth.

"I did something wrong, and the girl should teach me a lesson."

"As long as you understand! Because you are eager for revenge, I will spare you this time." Miss Bai sat up straight again and said, "I said, I will help you get revenge and help you get everything you deserve.

But before that, you must learn to be patient!

"yes!"

When there was no sound in the house, the girl who had been standing outside the door quickly walked into the house anxiously and said: "Girl, there are official servants from the government office outside. They want to see the household register of the master's family and the deeds of sale of the servants. Also,

Everyone needs to go out and check one by one."
