As soon as he finished freshening up, Qingyun told Bu Qiyu that Fu Yangzhou was here again.

She nodded, naturally understood why he came, ate a few bites of breakfast casually, and followed him out of the palace.

A few people came to the house arranged by Fu Yangzhou, which was an isolated hut, and there were no people on the left and right, which was a good place to be imprisoned.

When the two forbidden soldiers in civilian clothes saw Fu Yangzhou coming, they just nodded to each other.

"We're going to meet those two guys." The Praetorian Guards opened the door, Fu Yangzhou entered first, and Bu Qiyu also entered the house with the support of Qingyun.

The area in the room is not small, and even if two people are placed and the torture equipment is weighed, it still looks a little empty.

The two tacitly found a clean place to sit down, and the two prisoners who had been hung up were already wailing all over the ground at this time.

"Why did you stop?" Fu Yangzhou looked at the forbidden army and asked knowingly.

The two little officials were quite reluctant to hear this. One of them chubby said directly: "Don't fight, don't fight, I said everything, I said I'll move." ”

The man on the side seemed to want to speak, but eventually swallowed back.

He sneered, "You don't need to recruit, and you don't need to provide for anyone, I'm here today to see you being beaten." Don't stop fighting. ”

Fu Yangzhou said this, and the forbidden army on the side was also full of stunned, this request is still rare.

However, His Majesty has an order to let everything be listened to by Master Fu, so they naturally can't say anything, so they can only continue to fight, and suddenly the screams resounded throughout the room.

There was a full time for a stick of incense, during which the punisher changed three waves, and the two little officials completely lost their temper, not to mention the previous arrogance, and now they have no resistance at all.

"I beg you, stop fighting, I'll tell you whatever you want to know." The little officials who spoke before were about to cry.

Bu Saiyu on the side was also dumbfounded, even the most stubborn little official couldn't help but speak, such a heavy punishment was not just a heart.

After a meal, the two of them lost their temper completely, so they began to tell the situation at the time, seeing that the other party said more than themselves, and the other must not be outdone, for fear that if they said less, they would lose their lives.

"At that time, we were invited to Tianxianglou, and after we arrived, we learned that it was called by the prefect Qin Chuan, but we are small officials, where do we have the capital to fight with others. Even if it's from the household, it can only be obedient. After speaking, there was a wry smile on his face.

The one next to him took over, "We can't afford to provoke these big people at all, so we can only obey orders." He also promised us a lot of benefits, isn't life just a little better, and we agreed. ”

Fu Yangzhou nodded lightly, frowning from time to time, "The Qin Chuan you are talking about is just a prefect, how can you have such a great ability to get promoted and make a fortune?" ”

At this time, the thinner man said directly: "My lord doesn't know, although he is a prefect, but he is just in his thirties, you look at the two of us, I am already in my forties, if I don't block it again, it will be like this for the rest of my life." And I heard that the prefect's father-in-law is a big businessman in our Kyoto, and even the princes and nobles have to sell some face. ”

Fu Yangzhou nodded, he used to be a poor kid, if it weren't for luck, I'm afraid he would be in the same situation today, so for the two of them, it is more or less understandable. 163

At that time, he did not say what he was going to do with it, but he just made it easier for us to sell the land to the people he found, and it would give us a lot of benefits. Later, we were really not at ease with this benefit, so we secretly went to check, but we didn't expect that there was already someone guarding there. Although we felt that it was inappropriate, we also knew that the prefect was behind it, so we naturally didn't dare to say anything. ”

"You're just meeting with the prefect?" Bu Qiyu interjected at this time, she also had a lot of concerns, she was afraid that the other party would collude in confessions, and she was afraid that there were only these two people in the know, and it would be difficult to convict the prefect.

"This is natural, every time we want to change people, the prefect will invite us to gather in Tianxianglou." The little official nodded like pounding garlic.

"How many of you were called?" She pressed again.

The two looked at each other, and finally said honestly: "At that time, there were eight people, including us and four or five rich businessmen who didn't know each other. ”

"Who's the other one?" Fu Yangzhou also heard the key.

The little official shook his head, "I don't know very well, I just heard them call him Zhao Gongzi." ”

"Yes, in short, the man looks mysterious, but he has a piece of jade hanging around his waist, which does not look like an ordinary person's thing." The little official on the side then added.

Although these two people are not big officials, in this Kyoto, which is full of officials, these two people have naturally seen many high-ranking officials and nobles. can make the two little officials say this kind of thing, I'm afraid this Zhao Gongzi is not a simple person.

He said coldly at the moment: "Do you know the surname of Emperor Daxing? ”

Both of them were shocked, as if they remembered something. "Your Excellency, spare your life. This is a matter of Xiao's life, where do you dare to talk nonsense, in fact, I also had some doubts in my heart at that time, so I listened to two more sentences, it was indeed Zhao Gongzi. ”

The two of them were a lot nervous, if the other party was really a member of the royal family, they would only be burned today, and they were very frightened in an instant.

Bu Qiyu was stunned for a moment, she still remembered that Zhao Xihe told her that the emperor only had one son, so there would be no competition for the throne, so what is the identity of this Zhao Gongzi.

The matter has been asked about the same, and after glancing at the two people, he left here with Bu Qiyu, and the current clues are focused on this Zhao Gongzi and the prefect Qin Chuan, so he can only investigate in more detail before he starts.

However, after the two of them returned to the city, they found something more important, but in two days, most of these people who had confessed to the list in their hands and the officials had disappeared because of assassination and disappearance.

The two were taken aback, it was only two days, and the other party's actions were so fast, if they were any later, they were afraid that they would not be able to arrest the prefect Qin Chuan because of insufficient evidence.

Thinking of this, the two of them looked worried, but there was no better solution, and they couldn't help but feel anxious.

"This time we underestimated the enemy." Bu Qiyu took the teacup but put it down again, sighing. I'm afraid that since the second time she went to the suburbs of Beijing, the other party has already started to do it.

Fu Yangzhou's expression was not much better than hers, "Since we have done it over there, I'm afraid that the list in our hands will be used for agriculture." ”

She nodded, though she didn't want to admit it, but that's what happened at the moment. "No matter what, we have to find a way to find them, and with one more person, we can have more evidence, and our investigation will be easier."

smiled bitterly, "It's not as simple as you think, if it's really a relative of the emperor, and there are many forces and interests, no one will allow us to investigate like this." Therefore, if the evidence is not conclusive, we must not act rashly, otherwise we will be truthful, and we will be the ones who will not be able to protect ourselves at that time."

Feeling that what he said was a bit heavy, he was afraid of hitting Bu Qiyu's confidence, so he continued: "It's not that there is no way, don't we still have two witnesses in our hands?" ”
