"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand what you are talking about!" The captured man never mentioned anything about the cave. His attitude seemed resolute, as if he had received some kind of special training, as if he had already thought that this day would come. arrival.
"Not soldiers, why are there so many people and so many weapons in that cave?" Shangguan Shaochen asked angrily, then gave Nangong Yizhi a look,
The latter understood, walked up to the man immediately, and took out a dagger from his boots, "You don't have to say anything, we will cut off your tongue, anyway, this thing is useless to you, and then untie it." Your limbs, put you in a sealed jar, make your life worse than death!"
"you!"
The man didn't expect the people who arrested him to be so cruel. Looking at the armor that belonged to them that had been replaced underground, he seemed to have guessed something, "Who told you about our station? Also, we are heavily guarded, How did you get in? How many of us have you hurt!"
Hearing this, Ling Mu'er sneered, "It's hard to protect yourself, and you're still worried about other people. As a manager, you are doing your best. I don't know how much money the Seventh Prince gave you to make you work so hard for him?"
The man paused, his angry pupils dilated instantly, but soon he dimmed again, "What seventh prince, I don't understand what you are talking about, who are you!"
"It doesn't matter who we are, the important thing is that if you don't tell the truth today, you will die here! Also, those people you are worried about will die in their sleep tonight!"
Ling Muer intentionally threatened him and said, "I have already patted people on guard in the deep mountain. As long as I throw this signal flare in my hand, they will throw the shells that have been prepared into the cave. Guess how many there will be?" People don't even know how they died?"
Hearing this, the man shuddered, never expecting that the beautiful girl in front of him would be so ruthless.
He tried to use his skills to break through the confinement, but unfortunately, he was also spotted.
"Don't waste your energy, I've already blocked the acupuncture points of your whole body, no matter how strong your inner strength is, you won't be able to open them."
Ling Muer smiled, and snatched the dagger from Nangong Yizhi's hand, "My brother missed one point just now, not only will we untie your limbs, we will also... chop off your lifeblood, and then cut your Send it to the brothel." She aimed the second half of the sentence into the man's ear, and it took only two people to hear it.
When the man heard this, he was scared to pee, "I said, I said..."
After an hour of cross-examination, the man explained everything he should say and what he shouldn't say under Ling Muer's coercion and lure.
However, he firmly refused to admit that their behind-the-scenes messenger was Qin Xuanting, only saying that it was a mysterious person wearing a mask.
"Have you written it all down?" Shangguan Shaochen asked Mo Qing, who was temporarily acting as the recorder.
"Master Hui, word for word." Mo Qing handed over three sheets of paper,
Shangguan Shaochen nodded in satisfaction, "Everyone is tired today, rest early, as for those people in the cave, we will deal with them tomorrow!"
After experiencing the catastrophe of narrow escape, everyone rushed to Rongcheng overnight and interrogated this person. They were already exhausted and collapsed. Seeing that the sky is about to dawn, it must take a lot of experience and physical strength to deal with those people in the cave. rest.
"Cousin and Mu'er go to rest first, and Mo Qing and I will stay and take turns watching him." Nangong Yizhi suggested.
"No, I've sealed all his acupuncture points with silver needles. He can't escape even though he has extraordinary abilities. Everyone can rest tonight." Ling Muer said, holding Shangguan Shaochen's hand, she went to the next door. Room.
Seeing this, Nangong Yizhi and Mo Qing also moved to the opposite side, but before the two left, the man desperately wanted to resist, "Don't, don't leave me here, inside me..."
"Shut up, you!" Nangong Yizhi couldn't bear his noise, and was worried that his yelling would attract the attention of others, so he covered his mouth with a rag. Then I went back to the room with peace of mind.
Early the next morning, everyone was awakened by screams.
Shangguan Shaochen and Ling Muer hurried out of the room, only to see that the door of the man's room was open, and Mo Qing and Nangong Yizhi had already appeared in the room.
"What happened?" Ling Muer hurriedly asked.
"Dead?" Nangong Yizhi's voice was faint, and he obviously couldn't believe it, but he tested the man's breath to make sure that he was no longer breathing. He quickly looked at Ling Muer, "Didn't you say that you only blocked his body?" Acupuncture point, but how could he die?"
He never expected that the well-behaved man who was arrested would die suddenly in just a few hours.
Ling Mu'er hurriedly pushed Nangong Yizhi away and came to the man, only to see that his face was pale, his lips were dark, and although his body was still warm, he did not have any vital signs.
"Sure enough, he is dead." Ling Mu'er was very depressed, and she could not help but squeeze her pulse tightly, "It's not about my silver needle, it's because he has already taken poison in his body."
Everyone was shocked by the answer.
"Impossible. When my master and I captured him, we only gave him a simple Ruanjin powder." Mo Qing couldn't believe it.
"It's not Ruanjinsan. What Mu'er means is that he took poison before we tied him here." Shangguan Shaochen explained, and immediately turned to Ling Muer to ask for confirmation.
"That's right, if I'm not mistaken, the poison he took needs to be antidote every day, and he was trapped here last night and didn't get the antidote, so he died of the poison."
Ling Mu'er sighed in frustration, "I was careless. I should have thought that Qin Xuanting would never leave anything behind in training so many soldiers. I should have checked his pulse first when I caught him."
Seeing the little girl's frustration, Shangguan Shaochen squeezed her hand and embraced her, "It's not your problem, it's that person is too cruel!"
"No wonder this man said before we left last night that we don't want to keep him. I should have listened to him!" Nangong Yizhi also regretted it very much, "Cousin, what should we do now? We don't have this What if he doesn’t admit it when he goes back to the palace to identify Lao Qi?”
"Go to the magistrate of Rongcheng, let him take everyone to the cave to arrest people!"
Shangguan Shaochen immediately tossed Mo Qing a token representing his identity, "As long as the person who catches them, plus this person's confession, even if Lao Qi refuses to admit it, he will be invincible."
"Yes!" Mo Qing took the token and was about to turn around. Nangong Yizhi was worried and hurriedly followed, "I'll go with you, cousin Mu'er, you can wait here and wait for our good news."
Three hours later, in the afternoon, Nangong Yizhi, Mo Qing and the prefect of Rongcheng returned to Ruyi Inn.
But what made Shangguan Shaochen and Ling Muer even more disappointed was that when they felt the cave, it was already empty, not to mention people, not even a fly.
"Damn it, it's all because we were a step late. Those people must have found out that their military adviser was captured, so they withdrew everyone. Except for these two badges in the corner, they didn't find anything. Cousin, What should we do now?" Nangong Yizhi was so angry that he couldn't help but swear, what he regrets most now is that he should listen to that person to finish what he said last night, so that he won't lose a witness in vain.
Now all the soldiers in the cave have retreated, their work is in vain!
Shangguan Shaochen repeatedly looked at the badge handed over by Nangong Yizhi. He was so clever that he quickly discovered something was wrong. He took out a dagger that was cut like clay, and decisively split one of them, and it turned out that there was something hidden inside.
"The prefect of Rongcheng has met the second prince and the second concubine." The magistrate knelt on the ground to pay respects to the two, interrupting Shangguan Shaochen's exploration, because of the sudden incident and the failure of the mission, he seemed a little nervous and scared.
In order not to leak the secret, Shangguan Shaochen immediately hid his badge, "Let me ask you, there are so many people secretly gathering in your jurisdiction, why didn't you report it as the magistrate?"
Shangguan Shaochen was covered in a chilly air, which made people want to back away.
"Second prince, please check clearly. I really don't know that there is such a bold existence under the emperor's feet. If I know about it in advance, I will definitely not report it." The magistrate is terrified, afraid that he will be blamed for this crime Above his head, he was shaking with fright.
Shangguan Shaochen took a deep breath, although he knew that this matter had nothing to do with the magistrate, he was still very annoyed, "Hmph, you are incapable of managing and want to escape the blame, this prince will report this matter truthfully to Father, how father decides depends on your luck!"
Thinking of Qin Xuanting, Shangguan Shaochen asked angrily again, "My prince, let me ask you, in the past five years, how many times has the Seventh Prince Qin Xuanting, the Lord of Pingcheng, visited Rongcheng?"
The magistrate thought for a while and lowered his head guiltily again, "Back to the second prince, I am the prefect of Rongcheng who just took office four months ago, and the seventh prince returned to the capital from Pingcheng a year ago. The matter, I really don't know!"
"Bastard!" Shangguan Shaochen was furious, and wanted to say something, Ling Muer hurriedly comforted him, "Those who don't know what they did are not guilty, the prefect of Rongcheng must really not know that the forest will be turned into that way, and we It’s only by accident that I discovered those people, right? Right now, it’s the place to employ people, so let’s calm down first?”
Shangguan Shaochen took a deep breath, and when he looked at the magistrate again, he was obviously not so angry, "My prince ordered you to lead people to look for it immediately, so many people will never disappear overnight, if there is any news, please contact me immediately." report!"
Seeing that the second prince and concubine pleaded for him, the magistrate of Rongcheng heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly took orders, "Yes, my minister will do it now, please wait for the good news, the second prince!"
When the magistrate left, Nangong Yizhi slammed his indignant fist on the table, "Cousin, we have worked so hard to get the news and find those people, but why did they disappear so quickly? I'm afraid we found out This secret news has already reached the ears of the old seven in the palace, what should we do now?"
This is exactly what Shangguan Shaochen was worried about, his handsome face was as cold as ice, as if he would explode at any moment.
"Every soldier can take poison and give antidote every day. I think Lao Qi has already thought that there will be a day when things will be revealed, so he has a backup for himself. But the man once said that there are tens of thousands of them. A hundred people suddenly I can believe it disappears, but tens of thousands of people disappear suddenly, I will never believe it!"
Shangguan Shaochen gritted his teeth, and looked out of the window with firm eyes, "Rongcheng, those people must still be in Rongcheng, as long as I find them, I will immediately report to my father, and Qin Xuanting will wait to get rid of his guilt."
"But what if you can't find it?"
