: Break the conspiracy

After giving in a humble manner, Tang Feng sat high above the second hall of the county government office in She County, and the local county magistrate respectfully accompanied him to the seat. When he learned that someone was trying to be unfavorable to Tang Feng under his rule, the county magistrate Chu was so scared that he disappeared. Now that he saw all the criminals being captured, his face looked better. In order not to make Tang Feng blame him, he kept praising Tang Feng for his decisiveness and the power of his men. Tang Feng just smiled and suffered. He knew the other party's thoughts very well, but he did not point them out.

"Mr. Chu County, please ask someone to take those leading prisoners up. I have to ask them some things." After saying something perfunctorily to him, Tang Feng finally couldn't help but give orders.

"Yes, yes, yes, the official will bring them up!" After agreeing, the magistrate Chu gave a wink to the people behind him. After a while, Elder Hou and Yang Changzhou were pushed into the hall by several yamen runners. They were wearing shackles and it was very difficult to take a step forward. After the White Lotus Sectists fell into the hands of the government, the two of them were quickly confessed, so there was no need to tell them carefully.

After capturing them all and meeting Yang Changzhou, Tang Feng was already 100% sure that these people were from the White Lotus Sect. On the attack on Wei Zhongxian's mansion on the night of the year, he felt that there was someone missing. Now it seemed that he had noticed it earlier. If he contacted the White Lotus Sect, Tang Feng could confirm that Yang Changzhou was from the White Lotus Sect. So as soon as he saw him come to him, Tang Feng smiled and said, "Brother Yang, are you fine after leaving the New Year?"

When Yang Changzhou saw that he was seen through his identity as soon as he came in, he felt nervous and forced a smile on his face: "Mr. Tang is joking. I am now your prisoner. How can I say that I am safe?"

"Okay, Brother Yang, you can understand your situation, so that will save me some trouble. You are also a person who has been in the officialdom for a long time. I believe I don't need to remind you that the purpose of asking you to come here now, right?" Tang Feng looked at him with a smile.

Before Yang Changzhou could speak, Elder Hou, who was a bit ferocious because of the unbearable pain in his back, said, "Dog official, don't even know anything from our mouths. I advise you to save this breath and kill us!"

"Oh, I didn't expect there was a fearless person here? How dare you ask senior, surname Gao?" Tang Feng was not moved by his rudeness, and was still calm. Elder Hou did not accept his tricks. Not only did he not answer his questions, but he shouted loudly and asked for death. Seeing that he was so tough, Tang Feng showed a little displeasure.

Seeing that Tang Feng's expression changed slightly, Yang Changzhou immediately replied: "Sir, he is Elder Hou, one of the five elders in my White Lotus Sect. He is a relatively irritable person. Please don't mind it."

"You!" Elder Hou was furious when he saw Yang Changzhou was so bored. Just as he was about to scold him again, a yamen runner had already signaled by the magistrate Chu and slapped him in the face: "Shut up!" Elder Hou had not been so humiliated, and was suddenly stunned by this palm.

Tang Feng sighed and said, "It turns out that I just wanted to have a good talk with you, but now it seems that I can't do it. This elder Hou doesn't take this official seriously. The person comes, drag him down and beat him up to 50 slabs." As soon as he finished speaking, a county yamen runner stepped forward and dragged Elder Hou down. Soon there was a bang outside. Elder Hou was very tough. Although he was injured and was so severely punished, he did not make any sound.

Tang Feng couldn't help but admire the old man after hearing this, but now he is in a hostile relationship with them, so of course he would not show any mercy to him. He also had another purpose, that is, after seeing Yang Changzhou's performance, he could see that this was a person who cherished his life, so he could use Elder Hou to intimidate him.

Sure enough, listening to the sounds coming from outside, Yang Changzhou's face became even more ugly, and even his body was trembling slightly. Seeing his appearance, Tang Feng knew that he could ask again, and then said, "Okay, Brother Yang, can you tell me the real purpose of your coming here?"

"We came here to kill you." Yang Changzhou was not a person with ethics, otherwise he would not have been willing to be bent under Wei Zhongxian. Now he has been captured all of them, and the other party came up to be tortured, which has already scared him out of his courage. When he saw Tang Feng asking, he hurriedly said everything he knew: "Our people learned that Tang... sir, you came to the south and guessed that you would come to She County, so we specially ordered us to come here to find an opportunity to kill you to avenge the eldest young master and other saints who died at your hands."

Tang Feng nodded slightly when he heard this. What the other party said was consistent with what he thought. It seemed that the other party had indeed not concealed anything. Then he asked: "Are there any other White Lotus Sect in She County besides you?"

"No, our people have been captured by Lord Tang, and none of them escaped." Yang Changzhou replied. He also had a secret hatred in his heart. If he had known this, he would have left earlier, just like when he was with Wei Zhongxian that day, he left the Wei Mansion timidly when he saw him entering the palace for a long time. Now it seems that he is still too eager to make contributions this time.

"Then your White Lotus Sect underestimates me, Tang Feng, and you only sent about twenty of you to take my life? Or do you still have anything to explain?" Tang Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Changzhou full of distrust and threat.

"This..." When he saw this, Yang Changzhou felt nervous, not knowing whether he should tell the truth. Although he would not suffer much in a short period of time, once the people in the sect knew that everything he had caused was his fault, he was afraid that he would have a way out.

Just as he was hesitating, the sound of torture outside had stopped, and then several yamen runners had dragged the silt Elder Hou back. As a qualified yamen runner, they knew best how to punish people. For those who gave money, they could not hurt their vitality without hurting their vitality, but once they offended them, the same thirty or fifty boards could make people break their bones. This time, in front of Tang Feng, the county magistrate issued an order, so they naturally did not dare to hold back, so just fifty boards had already caused Elder Hou to suffer serious internal injuries. In addition, he had been relieved of his back and injured his two injuries before, even with internal strength to protect his body, most of his life was lost.

Seeing that Elder Hou, who was like a lion, turned into this, Yang Changzhou felt even more scared. If he was treated like this, he would be afraid that he would not have to go to see the King of Hell without having to take the lead. He would never dare to hide it again: "What Mr. Tang said is that our Holy Sect did not just send us all the people to deal with you."

"Oh? What about the others?" Tang Feng asked him while looking at Elder Hou who was half unconscious on the ground. He knew that the other party could still hear the conversation between them. With this person's irritable nature, if Yang Changzhou said something unfavorable to the White Lotus Sect, he would definitely react. Sure enough, when he heard Yang Changzhou say that there were still people, his body would be stiff.

Yang Changzhou did not pay attention to Tang Feng's gaze, but replied on his own: "This time, in order to achieve success, the leader sent three elders from my sect. Except for Elder Hou and I, I, to find opportunities, the other two elders and some good players, went to Jiangnan first. Because we already know that Lord Tang, your destination this time is Shanyin, Jiangnan, and they are all waiting for you there." After saying all this, Yang Changzhou lay on the ground weakly.

After hearing Yang Changzhou's words, the elder Hou trembled even more uneasy. However, now his whole body was gone and he couldn't even speak. He had to express his anger with a quick breath. All this fell into Tang Feng's eyes, making him completely believe Yang Changzhou's words. After he smiled, he said, "Very good, if you are willing to cooperate with the court, I will not make things difficult for you. There is another last question. Do you know where the White Lotus Sect's people are staying this time?"

"This... the villain is really unknown." Yang Changzhou was afraid that Tang Feng would not believe it, so he explained: "When they went there, they didn't think about how to act, so I naturally didn't know where they would wait for the adults. However, I think there must be our people near some yamen, because those places are the most common places for adults to go in and out."

"Okay, I am very happy that you can confess so much. Please take him to prison and find a clean place to lock him up." After taking both of them, Tang Feng interrogated several ordinary White Lotus scholars. Although they didn't know much, they could ask Tang Feng to check whether Yang Changzhou had deceived him. In the end, he was sure that the other party had told the truth.

Seeing that Tang Feng had asked all the answers he wanted so easily, the magistrate of Chu County said in admiration: "It is said that Lord Tang of the Jinyiwei is best at interrogation skills, and the officials finally have a good understanding. I admire him."

Tang Feng smiled: "The magistrate of Chu has been awarded too much, this is just a few tricks. By the way, these traitors from the White Lotus Sect will be handed over to the county magistrate for your care. After I captured the other traitors, I will take them together to the yamen for trial."
