From the fusion of Tongbei Quan to the Longevity Martial Saint

Realizing his whereabouts had been exposed, Liu Tianming no longer bothered to hide it.

He had a stone-like object in his mouth, which prevented him from biting his tongue.

This makes his speech somewhat slurred.

"I didn't manage to hit it, but you little punk still managed to find it."

"My grandfather planned for so long and trained so many assassins, but you Salt Patrol Guards still managed to discover the truth."

"Could it be that they really intend to wipe out the Liu family?"

At this moment, Liu Tianming was like a hungry wolf in a cage, staring in Fang Qing's direction.

Despite his resentment, he knew that since the salt patrol had dragged him out, he knew what his fate would be.

At this point, he actually calmed down.

The others around him looked at Fang Qing in shock.

Wei Wu stood at a distance, watching as Fang Qing first made these servants chew raw rice, and then tucked a chicken feather into the nostril of each of them.

With just this chicken feather, they managed to catch the main culprit in the Liu family.

Even though he had worked in the Six Doors his entire life, he had never seen any constable or yamen runner use such a method.

"Just who is this young man? How come he solves cases even more efficiently than the constables of the Six Doors?"

Wei Wu originally thought Fang Qing was a member of the imperial family.

Or perhaps they are young men from powerful families who, through connections, enter the Salt Patrol Guard reserve camp.

Wei Wu, still hoping to make friends, took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

Now he could clearly see that Fang Qing was a man of extraordinary intelligence.

Otherwise, how could Fang Qing have turned a situation where even Gu Changyuan and Ding Mingcheng were helpless, into a situation where Fang Qing could revitalize the business with just a handful of rice and a chicken feather?

At this moment, Wei Wu's desire to befriend Fang Qing has become even stronger.

"If this person's cultivation is decent, and he reaches the True Essence Realm in the future, then he will definitely have a place in the entire Great Qian Dynasty."

He immediately made a decision: he would definitely befriend Fang Qing from now on.

Gu Changyuan couldn't suppress the joy on his face.

Fang Qing's torches and searchlights were all meant to give Gu Changyuan a chance to show off in front of Lord Lin.

Now, Fang Qing has once again successfully apprehended the main culprit in the Liu family on his own, although he has not yet found the key evidence.

Based on these facts alone, Gu Changyuan believed that Fang Qing had accomplished another great feat.

Merit points are also indispensable.

When Ding Mingcheng saw Liu Tianming confess his crimes and accept punishment, he was first taken aback, but the next moment his face lit up with joy.

He gave Fang Qing a grateful look.

The lines Fang Qing just used to berate Liu Tianming were actually read aloud by Ding Mingcheng himself.

When Gu Changyuan rewards those who have made contributions in the future, Ding Mingcheng will also be mentioned in the same way in front of Salt Inspector Lin.

Don't underestimate the power of mentioning this in the case files and records.

In the future, all these case files and records will have to be sealed away.

As for some key cases, they would even be sent to the palace.

Ding Mingcheng is now able to frequently appear in front of many adults simply by reciting the lines on this one page.

This is extremely advantageous for Ding Mingcheng, who is already a Bronze Guardian, if he wants to advance further.

"Brother Fang Qing, I must make good friends with you from now on."

This is my benefactor, Ding Mingcheng!

Fang Qing knew that they had not yet obtained evidence of collusion between the Liu family and the salt bandits, and the matter was not yet over.

He went straight up to Liu Tianming.

Liu Tianming had the stone in his mouth.

His speech was slightly unclear.

"What? You think you can pry more useful information out of me?"

"To tell you the truth, a long time ago, I already arranged for my son, whom I had with another woman, to be placed in a safe place."

"Your Salt Patrol Guard wants to wipe out our Liu family completely? That's impossible."

"Now our Liu family bloodline already has members outside the family."

"No matter how much torture you use, I won't utter a single word."

"Grandpa had anticipated this move and had trained us direct descendants in the use of torture beforehand."

"Surprised? You were still one step behind."

After saying that, Liu Tianming, despite his bound hands, still laughed heartily.

I have even greater respect for my grandfather for foresight in anticipating this day.

Fang Qing, on the other hand, was quite relaxed and walked directly to Liu Tianming.

"Who told you that the information we need has to come out of your mouth yourself?"

Then, Fang Qing waved his hand behind him.

"Someone, hold this guy's head still."

They pried his eyelids open.

Two salt patrol guards immediately came over, lifted Liu Tianming's head, and made him raise it so that it faced Fang Qing's direction.

At the same time, another salt patrol guard reached out and pried open Liu Tianming's eyelids.

At this moment, Fang Qing stared intently into Liu Tianming's pupils.

When a person is tense or angry, they can still control their breathing if they have been trained.

In reality, the most difficult part of the human body to control is the pupil.

At this moment, Fang Qing stood in front of Liu Tianming and extended his arm.

"Let me guess, is the evidence of your collusion with the salt bandits hidden on my left or right side?"

At this moment, Fang Qing stood on the central axis of the entire Liu Family Manor.

Provoked by Fang Qing's words, he soon observed the change in Liu Tianming's pupils.

"It turns out it's on the right side."

Fang Qing glanced at the buildings on the right side of the entire manor.

Besides the mansion destroyed by Pilizi, there are several other buildings, including a garden.

The garden has a pond and a rockery.

After surveying the surrounding scenery, Fang Qing stared intently into Liu Tianming's pupils.

"Let me guess, you keep all this evidence inside one of these buildings in this mansion, right?"

Fang Qing stared intently into Liu Tianming's pupils, then turned directly to Ding Mingcheng.

"Brother Ding, immediately arrange for people to search other buildings."

Ding Mingcheng was about to turn around and lead his men to search the area himself.

The next moment, Fang Qing interrupted him.

"Brother Ding, wait a moment."

At this moment, Fang Qing carefully looked into Liu Tianming's pupils.

Her gaze was fixed on the slightly upturned corners of his mouth.

"Liu Tianming, do you think you can fool me?"

Look at you, you can't even suppress a smile.

"Therefore, you hid the evidence of your communication with the salt bandits outside the building."

"Let me guess where it is?"

"Inside the garden?"

When Liu Tianming heard the word "garden," his pupils visibly contracted sharply.

Fang Qing nodded in satisfaction.

"It was indeed in the garden."

"Let me guess, it's near the rockery in the garden."

Fang Qing stared at Liu Tianming, then shook his head and said:

"It's not near the artificial hill."

"The only place left is that pond, right?"

When Fang Qing mentioned the pond, Liu Tianming, who had been pretending to be nonchalant, was completely dumbfounded.

Just now, Liu Tianming, who was very proud because of his grandfather's arrangement, had his pride completely shattered by Fang Qing.

Liu Tianming looked in Fang Qing's direction as if he had seen a ghost.

He just couldn't understand it, even though he hadn't said a single word.

He curled the corner of his mouth slightly simply because Fang Qing guessed wrong.

But how did Fang Qing manage to find the letters they used to communicate with the salt bandits, right there by the pond?!

Even now, Liu Tianming still feels his head buzzing, as if it's all unreal.

At this moment, Fang Qing had already obtained the answer she wanted.

"Brother Ding, the evidence should be hidden in the pond."
