Peerless: After traveling through time, who would still want to be Tang San's son-in-law?

Chapter 208 Being Fished Out
Xu Mochen suddenly remembered something and said, "Wait, let me interrogate this matter myself."

A team member tried to probe: "Captain, this is just a small matter that you don't need to do in person, just leave it to us."

Xu Mochen said unhappily: "I have my own plans, and I don't need you to interfere and suppress him."

"Yes."

Huo Yuhao was handcuffed, but he did not resist. He did not even say a word, and let them push him to the back.

The torture chamber was obviously not going to be a good place. It was located in the backyard of the royal picket and looked like a simple bungalow from the outside. But when the door opened, a faint smell of blood immediately hit his nostrils.

Huo Yuhao was pushed directly in. In the interrogation room, there were all kinds of torture instruments, many of which Huo Yuhao couldn't even name, and just from the appearance, he could tell that they were not good things.

Xu Mochen brought a chair and sat down leisurely, while directing a few of his men: "Tie him to the dragon-peeling pillar."

The two Soul Kings who were carrying Huo Yuhao immediately took him to an iron rack.

The handcuffs and chains on Huo Yuhao’s wrists were separated, but it did not affect the restraint of Huo Yuhao’s soul power. The two Soul Kings tied him up directly.

This iron rack looks a bit strange. It is in the shape of a cross with many holes on it.

There are metal spikes in each of the holes. These metal spikes are up to three inches long and their locations are very cleverly chosen, all appearing in non-vital areas.

The main point is that it is a torture but not fatal.

However, after Huo Yuhao was tied up, Xu Mochen did not give any more orders. Instead, he took out a teapot and drank leisurely, which made his younger brothers look confused.

"Captain, you are..."

"Noisy."

Xu Mochen snorted coldly, put down the teacup, took out a soul-guided alarm clock, and pressed the timer for an hour.

"With the power of Mingde Hall, if you want to interfere in this matter, it will take at least an hour to go through the procedures. If someone really comes to rescue you after an hour, otherwise I will personally let you experience the taste of eighteen kinds of torture."

Facing Xu Mochen’s threat, Huo Yuhao smiled even more happily: “Don’t worry, if you really send someone to inform Lin Jiayi, Jing Hongchen will definitely be more anxious than you. I was sent by the Sea God Pavilion Master. His two precious grandchildren are still in Shrek. If anything happens to me and the news is reported back to Shrek, his two grandchildren will not be able to have an easy time either.”

Huo Yuhao was naturally happy to be spared the torture. After all, although these things might not be as painful as fusing the Ice Emperor's soul bone and the Living Being's Guardian Blade, it was still torture after all.

Xu Mochen's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly. Although he was related to a ninth-level soul master, that person might not protect him if Jing Hongchen got serious.

This Wang Shaojie, he didn’t even check the other party’s background before taking action!

However, Xu Mochen himself had forgotten that when he heard the information about Huo Yuhao from Wang Shaojie, Xu Mochen himself subconsciously believed that Huo Yuhao, who only had three rings, could not be that important.

"Better so."

Huo Yuhao, who was tied up and had nothing to do, scanned the structures of nearby objects and began to think about the plot of this part in the original novel.

It was understandable that Juzi knew about the arrest before Jing Hongchen, but when Juzi still needed to go to the palace to find Xu Tianran, Xu Tianran arrived right after Jing Hongchen rescued Huo Yuhao.

On the other hand, Jing Hongchen, as a ninth-level soul engineer, arrived so much later than the royal patrol team who took the carriage. It was enough time to punish Huo Yuhao.

The timeline here in the original novel was surprisingly messy, and Huo Yuhao was too lazy to sort out the details.

However, these were not what Huo Yuhao needed to care about. The most important thing for Huo Yuhao was to use this incident as a threat to allow him to enter Mingde Hall as a third-level soul instructor. As for what benefits Shrek could gain from this, that was Shrek's business. Huo Yuhao would not suffer in vain for the benefit of Shrek.

"Asshole, who dares to stop me?"

A low roar suddenly sounded, and the entire royal patrol team seemed to be shaken by the loud sound waves.

While the other members of the patrol team were still in a daze, Xu Mochen, who was sitting, quickly stood up, started the dragon-stripping column, and then looked at the door of the interrogation room with some confusion.

The next moment, there was a loud bang and the door was kicked open.

Jing Hongchen, with a gloomy face, rushed in with Lin Jiayi, the director of studies of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

Jing Hongchen saw Huo Yuhao on the Dragon-Stripping Pillar and the sharp thorns that were coming out at a glance, and his pupils suddenly contracted violently.

Lin Jiayi was quick-witted and quick-handed. He rushed over and pushed Xu Mochen aside, stopping the operation of the Dragon Pillar.

One of the patrol team members said arrogantly: "Old man, who are you? How dare you come to..."

However, before he could finish his words, Xu Mochen, who was pushed aside, quickly slammed him on the head, interrupting him. The next moment, Xu Mochen respectfully said to the newcomer, "Greetings, Master Hongchen!"

As he spoke, he glared at the people behind him fiercely: "Why don't you salute the hall master?"

This bunch of idiots don’t even recognize the Lord of Hongchen Hall.

The pupils of the several patrol team members who had been so arrogant just now trembled, and they bent down suddenly: "Greetings, Master Hongchen!"

Jing Hongchen frowned. If it had been anyone else, he would have killed him long ago. But these members of the royal picket team are somewhat related to the royal family, so he really can't be completely careless.

Ignoring these people, Jing Hongchen took a few steps forward, came in front of Huo Yuhao, and asked in a deep voice: "How are you?"

"Master Hongchen, I need an explanation, Shrek needs an explanation!"

Huo Yuhao looked at Jing Hongchen coldly. “Before, I didn’t pursue the matter of Wang Shaojie and others actively ostracizing, attacking, and slandering me for the sake of the hall master. I also believed that the hall master could seek justice for me. But the hall master doesn’t seem to care about us exchange students. Or is it that the hall master of Mingde Hall can’t even manage the academy under his command and can’t protect the students of the academy?”

"Let's go back first. The academy will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

Jing Hongchen suppressed his inner anger, turned around and walked out.

This is still the royal territory after all. Jing Hongchen doesn't want to get involved in the royal family's affairs, but it's not good to stay here too long.

However, before Jing Hongchen walked out of the torture room, a voice came from outside, "The prince has arrived."

The pupils of Huo Yuhao and Jing Hongchen shrank at the same time.

Jing Hongchen was stunned for a moment, and as he stopped, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Although Jing Hongchen did not participate in the fight for the throne, he was still very clear about the spheres of influence of the several princes.

This royal patrol team was not under the influence of the crown prince, but was supported by the third prince. The prince who controlled the royal family, Xu Moshen's father, was the third prince's most powerful supporter.

Why is the prince here too?
