Chapter 450: Destruction

As soon as Tang Feng stepped into the gate of the North Town Fushi, he heard a terrible cry from inside. Seeing that he frowned slightly, his subordinates around him replied: "Sir, ours are ours, interrogating those two assassins." Tang Feng then smiled relievedly. He knew that the entire Jinyiwei had completely regarded himself as their absolute leader.

In recent years, the Jinyiwei has been suppressed by the people of the East Factory, and everyone was holding their breath. It was not until Tang Feng took over that everyone was truly exhaling. With the continuous changes in Tang Feng's status, the Jinyiwei's power has become increasingly stronger and can now suppress the Dongfei. In the minds of these people, Tang Feng is his own parents of food and clothing, so it is naturally impossible for him to have something to do. Now someone dares to assassinate him, so these people will certainly not give up.

After changing into regular clothes, Tang Feng asked Luo Yangxing: "How is it, are these assassins willing to recruit?"

"These guys have a very hard bones and have used several kinds of tortures, but they just don't say a word." After spat, Luo Yangxing said with some shame: "But don't worry, even if he is an iron man, he has to speak!"

Tang Feng was still deeply aware of the Jinyiwei's method of torture, but he shook his head and said, "No, I have to go and see them myself, otherwise if these people were stubborn, this opportunity would be wasted again." Although the emperor had issued an order, he could not act rashly before there was a substantial evidence.

Under Luo Yangxing's leadership, Tang Feng came to the torture room where the two assassins were imprisoned. This was a room that was only three feet in a radius, full of various torture instruments. Although it was not as complete as the imperial prison, it still made people feel creepy. Two people who were stripped naked were hung in the middle of the house, and beside them were several Jinyiwei holding various torture instruments. They were either whipped, needled, or sticks... In just a short while, the two were already scarred and fainted several times.

Seeing Tang Feng walk in, the Jinyiwei who were trying torture while questioning, stopped: "Sir!"

Tang Feng nodded slightly and said, "Put them down, I have something to ask them."

"But... sir, since these two people were taken to us, they didn't say a word. After all, they could not ask them to speak..." One of them said with some embarrassment. Tang Feng smiled and said, "That's because you can't use any punishment and you don't ask any questions. Go and put them down!"

Everyone thought that Tang Feng had used words several times before, so that some people who refused to speak confessed, so they obediently followed their lives. Two dying people were placed on the ground, and their wounds hit the cold ground and moaned, but they did not give in because of this, and still closed their eyes, just pretending that they didn't know what was going on.

Tang Feng smiled when he saw this, and then said, "I know you are assassins of the East Factory, and they came to assassinate me by Qin Xie and others. Since you have become killers, you have already had this awareness. Once you are captured, you will die. I am right?" After saying this, Tang Feng looked at the two people lying on their own, but found that these two people turned a deaf ear to their words. He was not annoyed, but just continued, "And I can also think of the reason why you are willing to do this. It must be that some of your family members are in the hands of the East Factory. You know that as long as you confess, your family members will be killed. I'm right?"

When looking at the two of them again, Tang Feng could clearly see that their bodies were trembling. It was not because of physical pain, but because of changes in his heart. When he saw that there was a door, Tang Feng became more confident: "But have you ever thought about it? If the eunuch party had not declined now, would they use you to risk assassinate me? The Dongchang now has no way to protect itself. What do you still believe that they will help you protect your family? I think even if you don't participate in political affairs, some changes in the situation in the court can't be hidden from your ears, right?"

"You...if we are willing to tell the truth, will you spare us?" Finally, after waiting for a while, one of them spoke, and the other opened his eyes and looked at Tang Feng expectantly.

Everyone was very impressed by this. They knew that Tang Feng had convinced them that as long as they were given a chance to survive, these two people could use it for themselves. Unexpectedly, Tang Feng shook his head: "No, you want my life, how can I let you go? Isn't this a chance for others? However, I can promise you that after you are willing to cooperate, I will give you a pleasure. You should also know that the punishment in our Jinyiwei is more ruthless than the Eastern Factory. The punishments such as sucking intestines and washing can make people unable to survive or die. I can only give you such a guarantee."

The two assassins thought about it for a long time and finally made a decision: "At present, we have no choice. I just hope that Lord Tang, you can keep your word and give us a happy time after we explain everything!"

"Of course, if I lied to you, then I could even agree to your first request."

"Yes, we are indeed from the Dongchang. It was because Eunuch Wei wanted to take your life that Qin Zhangtou sent us to assassinate you. It was because you have been protecting us in and out of the past few days that we had to let Eunuch Wei find a way to get us into the palace, and then assassinate you while you are alone."

"It seems that everything has been guessed by me. Let me ask you, who is the one who arranged you into the palace and what does it have to do with Wei Zhongxian?" Tang Feng was very satisfied with their answer, but he still asked.

"It's Eunuch Pang from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he is also a confidant of Eunuch Wei..."

"Very good, are there anything you have not explained?" After they shook their heads and said there was nothing to say, Tang Feng asked someone to take the paper full of confessions and asked someone to draw a note for them. Then he said, "Place them in the room next to them, and convict them after the matter is finished. Then order people to heal them and don't let them die."

"Sir, now that we have these two witnesses, should we attack Wei Yan and Dongchang?" After coming out of the torture room, Lu An and others stepped forward one after another and said eagerly: "Do you better ask for the imperial edict first and then make plans?"

"There is no need to invite the imperial edict." With this witness in hand, Tang Feng completely let go and knew that he could do it with confidence. He took out the dragon jade pendant from his arms: "The emperor has given him a token, and he will be arrested by us now and the people who are in trouble and committing evil deeds. "

"Really?" When everyone saw the lush green dragon pendant that only the Imperial House could use, they were all excited, "Sir, are we going to do it now?"

"No hurry, it's just Shen Shichu now. I have to borrow people from a place and wait until dark before I can attack Dongchang and Wei Zhongxian." Tang Feng looked at the sky and said, "I think Wei Zhongxian should have known that his conspiracy has failed now."

Wei Zhongxian never thought that he would have fallen to this point a few months ago. Not only did the power in the court become smaller and smaller, but he even failed repeatedly to get rid of a person, which caused him endless trouble. But before today, he still believed that he had the possibility of a turnaround. After all, he had been in power in this court for many years, and both the emperor and the minister had to give in to him, but now he knew that he was wrong.

He hurriedly rushed into the palace with Gu Bingqian to do a good job of preventive work at the emperor. He didn't expect that after coming to the Ganqing Palace, the emperor was feeling a little unhappy and had already rested. He would say something tomorrow. In the past, whether it was the Apocalypse or the Today, as long as Wei Zhongxian wanted to see them, he could be received as soon as possible. This was the first time he was turned away, which made Wei Zhongxian realize that the situation was not good. Looking at Gu Bingqian beside him, he also looked worried and helpless.

"Now, only by asking for the emperor and pushing the charges to Dongchang will be able to have a glimmer of life. Only by abandoning everything and begging." Wei Zhongxian immediately knelt outside the warm room and said to the person who came out to pass the message: "Please report to the emperor. I have something important to report, and I also ask the emperor to see me."

These eunuchs in the palace used to not even breathe in front of Eunuch Wei. Now, seeing him like this, it is really hard to refuse, so they had to go in and report to the emperor. When Zhu Youjian heard this, his face suddenly darkened: "He thinks he is something, can he meet me just by wanting to see me? Xu Yingyuan, go out and go back to him!"

Xu Yingyuan agreed and ran out. When he saw the two kneeling there, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Gu, what are you doing? Don't freeze your body here in this cold weather. The emperor is unhappy and has already taken medicine and lay down. If you really can't meet you, you'd better ask me to go back."

He knew that he was insincere and that he had some gloating in his words, but Wei Zhongxian had to bear it to this point. He begged: "If it weren't for the urgent matter, I wouldn't have dared to ask for a second to see you. Please help me. I've been in the palace for so many years, and I still have this kind of vision." As he said, he had already grabbed Xu Yingyuan with one hand and put a silver note into his hands. This was the first time that Eunuch Wei gave someone money in these years.

"This..." Seeing that the silver bill is worth 5,000 taels, Xu Yingyuan's face moved. As a person around King Xin, he had never received such a heavy gift. Seeing that he refused to respond, Wei Zhongxian said again: "It is inconvenient for our family to know that Eunuch Xu has no place to live outside the palace. There is a house next to the palace. If Eunuch Xu doesn't dislike it, we will regard it as our family's filial piety to you."

"This... Since Eunuch Wei is really in urgent need, let's go in and ask you." It was both money and house, and it completely smashed Xu Yingyuan a little dizzy. He felt that he could still say something to the emperor, so he agreed.
