Gu Changdong sneered: "If you don't see the coffin, you won't cry. Fang Qian, you tell me."

"Yes!" "My Lord!"

Fang Qian cupped his fist in salute towards Gu Changdong, and took a few steps forward: "Last night, I was on duty patrolling the city, and had once seen Hong Yang walking on the streets at Hai Yi. He was sneaky, and looked suspicious. This can be testified to by my patrolling brothers. After that, around fifteen minutes after midnight, I toured the city to the vicinity of the Luo Residence. When I found someone wandering outside the door of the Luo Residence, I immediately sneaked in and noticed that the person was Hong Yang. After a while, Hong Yang seemed to have received some sort of signal and leaped into the Luo Residence. I was initially prepared to ambush outside the Luo Residence and plunder Hong Yang, but this gave him time to make a move. This humble servant has been negligent, please punish me, City Lord! "

Fang Qian spoke calmly without changing his expression, only showing a pleased expression at the corner of his eyes.

"Nonsense!"

Hong Yang was nearly angered to death: "Fang Qian, let me ask you, where are you going to meet me?"

Fang Qian replied: "East Street."

Hong Yang asked again, "Where is the Luo Residence?!"

"North of the city."

Hong Yang laughed coldly: "Since you've seen me in the east of early Hai City, and then seen me in the Luo Residence a few moments later, could it be that Constable Fang runs around the entire night? Or maybe I flew from the east side of the city to the north? "If you're lying, don't even think about it. Is that dog shit in your head?"

"You …"

Fang Qian's face began to change again.

Hong Yang continued to ask closely, "Let me ask you this again, outside the Luo Residence's main gate are walls and streets on both sides. Within a hundred meters, there is no place to hide. If you can see me, can't I see you? It seems like I was really blind to save an animal! "

"You … "You …"

Fang Qian was dumbstruck by the question. He was angry, but did not know how to refute it.

"Enough!"

Just then, Gu Changdong suddenly spoke out.

"Hong Yang, don't try to quibble. Just because you appeared at the scene of the Luo Residence's murder is the reason why you couldn't escape."

"Sir, if I am really a criminal, why would I send out a warning signal? "Wouldn't I have left the scene early to wash it away?"

"Humph!" The so-called dark under the lights. You're smart enough to think that that's the only way you can avoid being treated as a criminal. But unfortunately, the law was vast and didn't leak out. How could your little tricks escape my notice? "

Hong Yang did not speak, did not refute any further, and did not want to speak any more about doubting the Xiao Family. He understood now that he was being used as a scapegoat, and nothing he said would help. Facing the incoming pressure from all sides, Gu Changdong decided to abandon the carriage to protect his honor. Why did they throw him? It was because he was a person without any background, so what if he lost it? There wouldn't be any trouble.

In order to prevent Hong Yang from escaping, he had used chains forged from fine iron. It was said that he was at the seventh level of the Origin Convergence Stage, and even warriors at the peak of the ninth level of the Origin Convergence would find it difficult to move him.

In addition, he had also used the Pulse Sealing Golden Needle that was specially designed to deal with the fierce thieves, sealing Hong Yang's meridians, preventing him from circulating his vitality. He then locked Hong Yang up in his cell and sent Gong Liang and Geng Zhong to watch over him, waiting for his orders.

And within the study, and Fang Qian were whispering to each other.

"Fang Qian, you must think of a way for Hong Yang to confess his guilt."

"That's not easy to do, let's write a fake confession, press Hong Yang's handprint onto it, then pick out Hong Yang's tendons in his hands and feet, cut his tongue, so that he can't say or write."

"That won't do, the princess has always been strict. Whether she comes or sends people, she will ask them personally. If you see Hong Yang's appearance, you will inevitably have doubts in your heart."

"Then we'll use torture. I don't believe that he won't admit it after a few punishments."

"It's fine to use torture, but don't kill him. Otherwise, there will be no proof. The princess will not be able to explain it to him." As long as he pleads guilty, then there's no need to be afraid of his confession.

"This subordinate understands."

Fang Qian received the orders and walked over to the window with the hot tea in his hands. After seeing Fang Qian's figure disappear into the distance, he immediately headed towards the backyard.

In front of a small hut in the backyard, Gu Changdong looked left and right before pushing open the door and entering.

Inside the room, a masked man with a black veil was meditating on the bed.

Gu Changdong lowered his voice and said, "Senior Brother, I asked Fang Qian to go torture Hong Yang."

The masked man's voice was rough. "Is this your good idea?"

Gu Changdong laughed dryly: "Senior Brother, as long as Fang Qian uses torture on Hong Yang, you can take this opportunity to kill Hong Yang and Fang Qian. At that time, I will say that Fang Qian overdid the punishment and killed Hong Yang, and Fang Qian, knowing the consequences, committed suicide out of fear. This is going to be a headless case. No one can find out. "

The masked man was silent for a while, and then he said, "Hmm, alright. I will take action when the time comes. "

Gu Changdong laughed and asked: "Senior Brother, how are your injuries?"

"No worries, I'll be able to force the poison out in two hours."

"Senior, do you know who injured you?"

"Hmph, such a vicious hidden weapon must be from Linglong Pavilion. If I know which bitch injured me, I'll skin her alive!"

"Senior Brother, did you not find the Sky Dragon Dagger last night?"

"Nonsense, I was injured by a concealed weapon, how would I have the time to look for the Sky Dragon Dagger?"

"So you're saying that the Sky Dragon Dagger is still in the Luo Residence?"

"Yes, it should be. But the people of the Luo Residence have all died. No one knows where they are hiding."

"Senior Brother, from what I know, there might be one more survivor from Luo Family."

"Who?"

"Luo Qingyao."

"The only daughter of Luo Family?"

"Exactly."

"Quickly find her. News that the Sky Dragon Dagger is in Luo Family has already spread. We are near, so we still have a chance. If the people from other forces or Pine Wind County arrived, it would not be our turn. "

"Changdong understands."

In the cell, Hong Yang was beaten up for the entire afternoon, and the skin on his body had already been ripped apart.

Fang Qian threw away the whip and kicked away the wooden stick that was broken into two. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and took out a red-hot soldering iron from the furnace beside him.

"Damn, let's see how long you can last!"

"Buzz …"

As the soldering iron pressed down on Hong Yang's chest, a burnt smell pervaded throughout the cell. Hong Yang's tongue was stiff, and he was unable to say a word. The piercing pain caused his face to be covered in beads of sweat. He closed his eyes in pain as his body trembled uncontrollably. A low growl came from his throat.

Clang!

The door to the cell suddenly opened and a man walked in.

"Han Qing? What are you doing here? "

Geng Zhong and Gong Liang who had been watching Fang Qian's punishment from the corner stood up at the same time.

Han Qing held a jug of wine in his hand, his face expressionless. "What are you doing?" I'm looking for you to drink! "

Seeing that Hong Yang had fainted again, Fang Qian placed the soldering iron down, and said snappily: "Han Qing, if you don't go and listen to the servants, then what kind of wine are you here to drink? Be careful that the City Lord punishes you for neglecting your duty. "
