In Yuehu City.
"I'm going to ask you one last time, where is the treasure box?"
Even though Yue Zhengzixiu was deep in the dungeon, he still answered calmly, "I don't know."
The one in charge of interrogating him was Commander Adan, who had been disabled by Lin Mengya.
That's right, her crossbow was poisoned.
Although it was not fatal, it was enough to slowly make people lose control of their limbs.
Moreover, Commander Adan had been in an extremely irritable state after being injured, which made the poison quickly spread throughout his limbs and bones.
Previously, he had only injured one arm, but now he had become a disabled person.
Apart from his head, he had lost control of his limbs.
He would twitch from time to time, and his bowel movements were completely random.
In just a few days, not only was he disabled, but he was also secretly laughed at by everyone. He had become a complete joke.
Of course, the others dared not say anything to his face. After all, he was still a commander of the Shaoxuan Army.
But it was hard to say what would happen in the future.
Yue Zhengzixiu was only tied to a wooden stake, and there were no signs of torture on his body.
It was a coincidence.
Less than half a day after Lin Mengya sent someone to inform him, he was imprisoned by the group of people of the secret meeting on suspicion of stealing the treasure.
But with the news from the Gong Family, and Yue Zhengzixiu had really done a good job in cleaning up the mess, he was not worried about his own safety.
He was a little worried about Zi Tan.
If he gave himself away, he was afraid that this group of lunatics would not let his brother go.
At this time, he did not think about himself at all. He did not expect that if Yue Zhengzixiu successfully escaped with his men, he would definitely be identified as the suspect of stealing the treasure.
"You don't know? Ha, I think you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin! "
That messenger Adan said ferociously, looking at Yue Zhengzixiu as if he was looking at a dead man.
"Commander Adan, there are some things that require evidence. You came here to escort the treasure, but never had any contact with us. Now that something has happened, you keep pushing the blame to us. I can't admit it. "
Yue Zhengzixiu clenched his teeth, not revealing anything.
Seeing him like this, Ah Dan, whose mind was already twisted, actually disregarded Steward Chang's advice and ordered his men to torture him!
The people around him were all his trusted subordinates, so he naturally acted without hesitation.
Yue Zhengzixiu clenched his teeth and stared at the emissary Adan.
He knew that without any evidence, they wouldn't dare to kill him.
As long as he didn't admit it, there was a chance for him to make a comeback!
"Pa —"
The tough horsewhip ruthlessly lashed at Yue Zhengzi's chest.
The pain was unbearable, but he forced himself to only let out a muffled groan. After that, he would rather grind his teeth to pieces than make a sound.
The horsewhip whipped him until his skin was lacerated and his flesh was torn. Flesh and blood flew everywhere.
However, Yue Zhengzixiu stood his ground. Apart from the bulging veins on his forehead and arms, no other expression could be seen on his face.
Ah Dan narrowed his eyes. The more he looked, the more annoyed he felt.
This kid doesn't even know how to beg for mercy?
"Give me another fifty lashes. Oh right, add some spice to our First Clan's Young Master. Let's see how long he can be so stubborn! "
As he spoke, the whip of his subordinate paused for a moment.
After that, his subordinate actually brought saltwater!
The feeling of adding saltwater to a bleeding wound was absolutely excruciating.
This was absolute torture!
However, Yue Zhengzi's expression didn't even change.
Even if he was a blockhead who didn't know pain, the more he behaved like this, the more dissatisfied the perpetrator was.
Ah Dan licked his chapped lips.
He liked to torture this kind of stubborn person the most. There were too many ways to make him admit it!
However, unexpectedly, just as his subordinate raised the whip covered in saltwater, suddenly, a sound came from outside.
"Stop!"
Commander Ah Dan looked outside coldly.
That was just a little bastard who ran errands. This made him even more dissatisfied.
It seemed that after he got sick, any Tom, Dick, or Harry could climb over his head and act like a tyrant!
"Continue beating me. I'll see who dares to stop me."
The person who came was also stunned.
He didn't expect that this person wouldn't give him any face at all. At that moment, he became even angrier.
"Commander Ah Dan, I'm one of Steward Chang's subordinates. My family's steward said that before we find any evidence, everyone here is innocent. "
"You're using your identity to go against my Lord Steward's orders. If my Lord Steward finds out, I'm afraid you won't have a good time either."
However, the words of the little bastard who passed the message made Commander Adan even angrier.
He laughed in a low voice, "Hahahaha, a tiger that has fallen to the plains will be bullied by dogs. I don't even care about your Lord Steward, let alone a little bastard like you. "
The servant who passed the message was also unyielding.
After all, the other party was already a cripple. Even if he returned to the army, his status might not be as high as his!
"Commander Ah Dan, you can insult me however you want. But by saying this, are you slandering my Lord Steward?"
"Scram!"
That messenger Ah Dan roared angrily.
The servant who passed the message couldn't help but take a few steps back.
However, he wasn't willing to be scared off just like that. He turned around and ran, threatening as he ran.
"Just you wait, isn't he just a cripple? What's there to be arrogant about?"
The servant's disdainful remarks made Ah Dan even more crazy, ordering people to torture Yue Zhengzitan.
Just when Yue Zhengzitan was about to collapse, the dungeon door, with a "bang", was kicked open.
"How dare you! Ah Dan, if you dare to torture my brother, I, Yue Zhengzitan, will skin you alive! "
After Yue Zhengzitan learned that his brother was being interrogated, he completely disregarded other people's obstruction and advice and directly broke into the dungeon with his men.
He didn't expect that his brother was almost beaten to death!
Yue Zhengzitan struggled with his last bit of strength and watched his brother, who he had been worried about for a long time, arrive at the last moment.
He didn't know what to feel in his heart.
"Why, why are you here?" He asked weakly.
Yue Zhengzitan didn't look at him. He just used his sword to cut the rope that was tied to his brother.
"Zitan, don't, don't mess around."
In fact, what he wanted to ask was why his brother came back.
But Yue Zhengzitan didn't give him time to answer. Instead, he directly and carefully carried his brother, who was covered in blood.
"Is your Yue Zhengzitan going to disobey the orders of the secret meeting? Capture him for me, I must interrogate him clearly! "
Commander A Dan desperately urged his subordinates to go and capture them.
But he didn't expect that Yue Zhengzitan was not afraid of his men at all.
He carried his brother in his arms, turned around and left.
But when he heard the other side's words, he gave him a cold look.
"Ah Dan, don't forget, our Yue Zhengzitan is not only the leader of the family!"
After saying that, he left with his brother.
As for his subordinates, they didn't hold back in the slightest as they fought against Commander Ah Dan's subordinates.
Of course, they didn't fight to the death, but they just needed to cover the two brothers' retreat.
Outside the dungeon, Manager Chang, who received the news, also hurried over.
He had always been a serious and calm person, but after running just now, he was so anxious that his forehead was full of sweat.
His heart trembled when he saw Yue Zheng and Zi Tan walking out with large strides while carrying a person in their arms.
It's best, it's not what I think it is!
"Second Young Master!" He went up, but Yue Zhengzitan didn't even look at him.
And he also saw clearly that the person covered in blood was Yue Zhengzitan and Xiu.
"Second Young Master, listen to me, this is all …"
"Is it all an accident? Manager Chang, if I was a little late, my brother would have been beaten to death! "
Now that things had come to this, Yue Zhengzitan didn't show any mercy, and his tone was anxious and ruthless.
"Manager Chang, although I was young and insensible back then, when my parents died, your secret meeting didn't say that. It's only been a few years, and you're already in a hurry to burn the bridge after crossing it? "
"If that's the case, then don't blame our Yue Zhengzitan for breaking the promise!"
After saying that, he strode away with his brother.
Manager Chang couldn't catch his breath, and almost choked himself.
He knew that if he let Ah Dan interrogate this matter, it would definitely not work!
But now that the person was injured, he could only think of a way to remedy it.
"Quick, send a message to the people in the pavilion!"
He grabbed the person beside him and ordered in a low voice.
That person immediately retreated, and then quietly disappeared into the crowd watching the show.
Manager Chang heaved a sigh of relief, and angrily went to the dungeon.
This Ah Dan really couldn't do anything, but was good at spoiling things!
.....
Yue Zhengzitan was carried back by his brother, and many people saw this.
Among them was naturally the spy that Lin Mengya left in the city.
"In the end, I still implicated them." After hearing the news, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
But this was also what Yue Zhengzitan promised her. To put it coldly, this was the consequence that he willingly bore, and it had nothing to do with her.
But Lin Mengya was still troubled by the fact that she couldn't open the treasure box. Now that she heard this news, she was afraid that if something really happened to him, she would lose a clue.
Immediately, she ordered someone to secretly send in some medicine.
When the teacher saw her action, he just laughed disdainfully and said, "Tsk, my little disciple is still the kind-hearted one!"
"Kind-Hearted my ass! I was afraid that if he died, no one would tell me how to open the box. "Lin Mengya consciously classified herself as a cold-hearted merchant.
But the teacher thought that she was a soft-hearted person, and this made her a little angry.
To say that she was a good person to the biggest profiteer in the entire Wei Country, a poison doctor who could take a person's life, she felt like she was scolding herself.
Was the threshold of being a good person so low these days?
Baili Rui didn't want to argue with her on this matter.
At this moment, the teacher and disciple were studying the ancient clan's treasure that couldn't be opened as usual.
"Teacher, how do you think we should use this thing?" She stared at the box and asked.
