It's time for a showdown, all the powerful officials in Beijing are my students!

Chapter 385 Chapter 384
A sharp dagger was pressed firmly against the man's carotid artery, fearing that if he moved, blood would be splattered on the spot.

"Wang Yuantao is you." Zhao Lei looked at him approaching with a torch in his hand, his eyes widened suddenly, and he suddenly realized: "No wonder those of us have resisted the cruel official of the county guard for so many years.

They were all hit hard even before they did anything. It turned out that you were tipping them off. "

Several other people who came with Wang Yuantao also looked at him in disbelief, "Why did you betray us?"

Liu Huai glanced at An Xin with a calm expression in embarrassment, opened his mouth but said nothing. In the end, he only said with shame: "I'm sorry, I don't recognize people well."

It was he who introduced to An Xin a few people who had been doing errands here in Lingnan for many years and whom he thought were good people and got along relatively well. He didn't expect that there would be spies among these people.

Wang Yuantao looked at An Xin, Jiang Zhou, Jiang Chenxi, and Feng Yujue who were following him, and ignored the questioning of his friend Zhao Lei, who had known him for many years, and Zhang Qingping, Liu Yawen, and Fang Jianping who were glaring at him.

"You...what are you doing? I just drank too much water at night and it's convenient to go out..."

Seeing Wang Yuantao's evasive explanation, An Xin gave the bright-eyed Chen Runzhi a look.

The little girl immediately took out a pile of papers with something written on them, pulled out one and read loudly: "The leaders in Daniuling Village are the ones who were exiled and escaped."

Chen Runze also took one from his sister and read: "After beating away a group of bandits who originally occupied Daniuling, there were suddenly a lot of people here. The villain thought that they were exiled here because of something. What kind of premeditation..."

Seeing that the Chen Runzhi siblings continued to read the message on the note, he gritted his teeth and shouted with an extremely ugly expression: "No need to read any more."

"I lost. It turned out that I was discovered the first time I sent the message to the outside world." Wang Yuantao laughed at himself: "Thankfully I thought I was so secretive, but you think you are all fools and idiots."

"It turns out that the fool is myself."

"Are you a fool?" An Xin raised his eyebrows: "You should have reported this situation to your master last time when we were trying to escape up the mountain."

An Xin looked at Wang Yuantao's surprised look and smiled, "Let me guess why no one has come here to catch us yet."

"That's because your master's position is high enough, and his official position is very large here in Lingnan County. He doesn't care about those of us who are exiled and run up the mountain to become bandits. Do you think my guess is correct?! "

Wang Yuantao lowered his eyes. He had to admit that the woman in front of him had guessed accurately.

The people above were only focused on attacking Zhao Lei and the others who had gathered together. The nearly a thousand people who resisted the county governor's office really didn't pay attention to An Xin, the dozen or so exiled prisoners who escaped.

When he followed Zhao Lei's group of people who failed to resist the county magistrate, he went up the mountain and saw that there were many strong men here. He felt something was wrong and wanted to spread the word about the situation here.

Wang Yuantao looked at Chen Runzhi holding the note he was delivering the news to, his expression became depressed and a little panicked.

Jiang Chenxi and Feng Yujue received a signal from An Xin and asked people to take Wang Yuantao down for interrogation.

Because one of them works in Dali Temple, and the other Jiang Chenxi worked in the Ministry of Punishment some time ago, he is better at interrogating prisoners than others here.

The occasional miserable howl in the middle of the night made the timid ones wake up with big dark circles under their eyes in the morning, obviously not sleeping well.

The next day, An Xin finished washing and came to the meeting hall.

When I saw Jiang Chenxi, the future leader of the Chengen Palace, and Feng Yujue, the heir to the Xuanping Palace, I found that when the two people looked at each other, their eyes were shining with unknown meaning.

An Xin: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." "...It's okay."

An Xin looked at them strangely, with a look of disbelief.

Feng Yujue and Jiang Chenxi looked at each other and quickly looked away.

Can they say that they were all surprised by the other party's method of interrogating the prisoner last night?

During the interrogation, Feng Yujue's main point was that there was no blood, but it could still cause Wang Yuantao's body to excruciating pain, so he confessed part of what he knew and wanted to get rid of the interrogation in this way.

This gave Jiang Chenxi, who had witnessed many severe tortures and forced confessions in the Ministry of Punishments, a new experience.

Just when Wang Yuantao thought he had explained something and fooled him, it was Jiang Chenxi's turn to take action.

Then the screams in the middle of the night scared away the wolves on the distant mountains.

Because the wolf felt that the miserable howling sound was more terrifying than their barking.

This time it was Feng Yujue's turn to be shocked. He never expected that Jiang Chenxi, who looked young, would turn out to be a ruthless person when interrogating the prisoner.

It's just that the method he uses is to make the prisoner have no visible scars on the outside. Internally, the bones may be broken and the internal organs are severely damaged. The main thing is that he is kind on the surface.

At that time, looking at Wang Yuantao's leaking teeth and chopped off fingers and toes, the culprit seemed as if these were not his masterpieces, and walked away with the confession from the interrogation as usual.

This also allowed Feng Yujue to truly see the true meaning of the saying that people cannot be judged by their appearance, and sea water cannot be measured.

An Xin saw the two of them looking at each other with disgust and a hint of admiration. He smiled and didn't ask anything else. He took the Wang Yuantao confession they handed over and looked at it.

The others noticed that An Xin was holding his chin and frowning, lost in thought, and silently exited the lobby after reading.

What made An Xin fall into deep thought was not Wang Yuantao's confession that he was from the county governor's house, nor the other things he confessed, but one seemingly insignificant sentence in all the confessions.

An Xin took another look at the confession.

The eyes that were originally full of doubts seemed to slowly clear away the clouds and mist to see the brilliance of the moon.

She didn't know what she thought of, but she frowned and muttered: "Things are getting more and more complicated. I don't know if those two boys can handle it."

Li Ziyu and Kong Xun, who were cared about by An Xin, are now being entangled by the ladies from two major houses in Lingnan.

The ladies from other houses who had been invited out by them were so jealous that they wanted to beat them up in a group when they saw Si Lingling and Xin Weiwei, who were showing off the two beauties Li Ziyu and Kong Xun.

Don't these two people know what it is to eat delicacies in front of poor people? It's okay not to share them, but at least you have to refrain from chirping. Isn't this also a kind of kindness?

Kong Xun and Li Ziyu, two men who were like banished immortals, did not dare to compete with them because their family affairs were not as good as those of Prince Liang's Mansion and the Sheriff's Mansion.

But you have tricked or forced people into your house, so don't bring them out for them to covet.

After seeing such a handsome and elegant young man, how can they look at other mediocre men in the future?
