Chapter 497 Temporary Calm
Chapter 497 Temporary Calmness
After a whole day of busy work, Tang Feng returned home with the puzzled guards. On the road, someone talked about Elder Ge's toughness: "I can't tell that this old man is so capable of withstanding this torture. After several tortures, he still refused to bow his head. Is this White Lotus Sect really a magic trick that makes people feel devoured?"
The voice reached Tang Feng's ears. He smiled unconsciously and looked at Zhuanshi and Zhang Tai: "Why do you think this is? Also, what method should be used to force him to spit out what we want to know?"
"This... Maybe the old man has practiced martial arts and his character is much higher than that of ordinary people. I think that if he wants to tell everything, he will be punished with a higher punishment. People always know that it hurts. As long as he really feels fear, he will naturally give in." Zhang Tai said after hesitating. This is also the view of many Jinyiwei. They took some effort to capture Ge Ming, so they knew that he had good martial arts and that they often torture people, so they had this view.
"Where are you?" Tang Feng looked at him and asked: "What do you think of this person?"
"It's hard to say. If it were just because of his deep internal strength, it wouldn't be so painful when the young master tortured him just now. Obviously, the punishment will still work on him. The key is his mind. As long as he can find out his weakness, he can speak." He said in a deep thought, then looked at Tang Feng: "I don't know if I'm right?"
"You're right." Tang Feng nodded and said, "As you discussed before, the White Lotus Sect must have means to make people like him not betray him, but it's not an evil technique, but a means that everyone can do."
"What is it?" Everyone was interested and asked quickly.
"But I can't say this yet. After the matter is revealed, you will naturally know." Tang Feng kept it a secret. But after Zhang Tai and the two of them thought about it, they knew what he was referring to. With the fierce means of White Lotus Cult to punish traitors, they can infer how they control these methods of mastering the important secrets of the sect, which is to threaten the safety of their relatives. However, these two people also know that there are too many people here now, and the key to whether Elder Ge can speak is to not let too many people know.
When she returned home, Liu Hui was walking in the hall uneasy. Tang Feng had not come back for a day since she came down from the mountain yesterday. Although she knew that there were people around her to protect her, she was still very worried as a wife. Now when she saw Tang Feng return safely, Liu Hui put down the big stone in her heart and greeted her with a smile, complaining, "So you, why don't you come back all day and don't let someone send a message back."
"I'm busy," Tang Feng took the tea bowl handed by his servant, took a sip and said, "I have caught some people from the White Lotus Sect. I must seize the time to interrogate everything they know, otherwise I will miss this opportunity."
Seeing that Tang Feng was tired, Liu Hui gave him a look with distress: "I feel relieved when you come back. There are still stewed official swallows in the kitchen. I'll bring them to you."
"Okay." Tang Feng agreed naturally, but then he remembered that something was wrong. This place was not his home in the capital, so where did these supplements come from: "Where did you get Guanyan? And, where is Chuo'er? Why didn't you see her here?"
"I just remember my daughter now." Liu Hui said half-angrily: "I think you are just caring about business and don't even want your daughter. Don't worry, this morning, the prefect's office sent some high-quality bird's nests and borrowed a few servants to us. It's nothing if my daughter is taken care of by them now."
"So that's it." Tang Feng thought that Yin Dahong would not appear again after retreating, and it turned out to arrange these details. It seemed that this Yin prefect is a good person. He saw that he was very unhappy about what happened yesterday, so he thought of using this method to please him. Tang Feng was not the rigid so-called honest official. He knew that some exchanges in the officialdom were necessary. If you don't accept this gift from him, you might offend him, so you didn't take it seriously. After nodding, he said, "Then they have nothing to give me, right?"
"What else do you want? Don't worry, I still have this measure. I confiscated some of the silver notes they sent, so I took them back. I only said that these servants were borrowed and used them."
"That's good. The ground in Shaoxing is not clean now. Although they are not suspicious as court officials, being careful is always a good thing, and people won't get a handle at that time." Tang Feng said cautiously.
Because all those who could be asked were asked were asked, and before Ge Ming took his weakness, he seemed to be unable to ask any valuable information, so Tang Feng simply stopped asking, but took his wife and daughter to visit the lake and mountains in Shaoxing to relax his mood and make full preparations for the next battle.
The saint of calligraphy, Wang Xizhi and his friends, sipped with the Qushui River, and their poems were in harmony, and they left behind the Lanting, which was famous calligraphy works in a world of famous calligraphy works. Although it was not as good as West Lake, it also had a pleasant scenery. It buried ancient sages, and the Dayu Mausoleum, which had been in trouble for the sake of floods, and other famous places worth visiting in Shaoxing. Fortunately, Tang Feng had visited these places in his previous life, so although it was his first time in Shaoxing in this era, he still knew everything about these places, so he did not reveal any flaws in front of his wife.
The family of three took the family to see the small number of scenic spots, which were only two or three days, and Tang Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Why are most of the celebrities in Shaoxing after the Ming Dynasty? What about the former residences of Lu Xun, Cai Yuanpei and others now seem to be unable to visit..."
When the three members of the Tang family were free and easy, the atmosphere in Shaoxing city was very solemn. Now everyone knows that the demon of the White Lotus Sect did a big thing here, which frightened Lord Tang Feng. At the same time, the people from the Jinyiwei also looked at the important roads leaving the city according to Tang Feng's order, but those who were about to leave would undergo a strict inspection, which made the people here even more uneasy. Everyone was careful when they saw some strangers.
This made him suffer a lot, that is, Wang Dedao, who had just arrived in Shaoxing for two days. Since leaving She County, he still did not forget to avenge his family, so he came to Shaoxing according to the news he had heard. However, because he lacked the road guide and his clothes were sloppy, it aroused the suspicion of some local patrols, and he was almost caught by them several times. Fortunately, Taoist Wang De was smart and hid in the east and south like this. Although nothing happened, his journey was much slower. Tang Feng had been walking around Suzhou and came to Shaoxing for several days before he finally arrived in Shaoxing.
It turned out that Wang Dedao was worried that he would come late this time, and maybe Tang Feng had already returned to the capital, and it would be even more difficult to deal with him by then. But he soon felt relieved. He learned that Tang Feng was still in Shanyin from the conversations of some people, and he also found out where Tang Feng was. However, there were many people guarding him all day long near the Tang family. With Wang Dedao's ability, he could only bear it and wait for Tang Feng to be negligent.
But without waiting for negligence, the Jinyiwei's suspicion of him came. Although Wang Dedao had to pay attention to the situation of the Tang family, he would have to have a place to settle down after all. His money was limited, so he had to stay in a dilapidated land temple. At this time, Shaoxing City was most concerned about those outsiders, so he was soon targeted by the spies of the Jinyiwei.
On April 25, when Tang Feng took his wife and daughter out for a trip, he was blocked in the small temple by Bai Qi and others. Seeing many big men breaking in, Wang Dedao, who was already guilty, thought of being a thief, first reaction was to escape. How could he escape with his skills? In just a short while, he had nowhere to go, and was finally caught by the Jinyiwei.
"Who are you? Why are you so sneaky when you come to Shaoxing?" It made the Jinyiwei uncertain, but they knew the White Lotus Sect's power.
Wang Dedao, who was determined to die, heard this and shouted luck, and hurriedly made up an excuse, saying that he had nowhere to live, so he came to Shaoxing. Judging from his appearance and body, the people believed him and did not make things difficult for him. However, since they were suspicious people, they would not easily indulge him, so they detained him and some other suspicious people who had been arrested in the past few days, waiting for Tang Feng to leave before talking.
In this way, the third young master of the Wang family, who was determined to kill Tang Feng to take revenge, was taken into custody by the Jinyiwei people, but no one knew his true identity, and Tang Feng didn't know that such a thing happened. If he really saw Wang Dedao, even if he still couldn't recognize his true identity, he would think of the incident in She County a few days ago, and Wang Dedao would have a dead end. But these people below thought that these suspicious people were not too threatening, but they just locked up and did not disturb Tang Feng, which made Wang Dedao escape the disaster again.
On April 28, Tang Feng visited various scenic spots in Shaoxing. While he was resting at home, someone finally came to report that the twenty White Lotus Cult members who had been captured before were sent over to Tang Feng's order. The reason why the She County Magistrate sent people so quickly was to please Tang Feng, and the other was to know that these people were very difficult in his hands. Now that someone could take them away, he naturally saved his energy. So after receiving the order, he immediately ordered people to carry these people in a prison van to Shaoxing, Zhejiang day and night...
