About an hour later, Steward Ping, who was waiting for the news, received a secret report that the two people he had sent to inquire about the news had missed, and they had now been imprisoned in the Chang'an Mansion.

Over the years, the relationship between the princess's mansion has been deeply layered, and it is no exaggeration to say that any wind and grass in Chang'an City is well known!

Steward Ping ordered someone to reward the person who came to report the news, and after the person left, his face gradually became gloomy.

These two stupid people! Usually looks at the work is quite fine, who knew that going to visit a news would make it like this! It's not that he's worried about the life and death of these two people, but the major events that could have been secretly planned and arranged may be leaked, and he won't be able to achieve the purpose of dragging the people in the Jianzhang Palace in.

Especially when it fell into the hands of Ji Di...... That old-fashioned guy is known for not getting oil and salt, and if Wu Neng is tortured by him to find out something, it will be a little tricky.

He paced back and forth, muttered for a moment, and beckoned to a man: "Go to the back of the cell, speak to the brothers, and by any means, according to what I said, let the fellow confess!" This matter must not be delayed any longer, for fear that there will be ...... change. ”

After a pause when he said this, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes: "...... If you can't ask anything before the second watch, this person doesn't have to stay! But it must be done neatly and without leaving a trace. Hmph, this is a matter of saving the Tingwei Mansion!"

The man nodded his head in understanding, and then ran to the back of the house.

And at the same moment, in the palace, a man who looked like an old eunuch knelt quietly on the floor covered with a velvet blanket, and whispered something to the old woman who was leaning on the couch.

Splendid curtains, hanging tassels, embroidered flying phoenix patterns, although full of royal style, but not luxurious. This is where the Changle Palace of the Han Dynasty is located, and the old woman is the Empress Dowager Dou.

Empress Dowager Dou has recently suffered from eye disease, and her mobility is a little inconvenient, and she hasn't walked out of this Changle Palace for a long time. But everyone believes that even if her eyes are blind, the entire Han Palace is still like a palm in the hand, and no one dares to fool her.

After the old eunuch finished his report, after a long time, the people sleeping on the couch were silent, as if they were asleep. The old eunuch was not impatient, kneeling and sitting still, listening to the echo.

The slight sound of "pop" was the sound of the lights exploding in the bronze bowl of the silver crane, and the Empress Dowager Dou sighed slightly as if she had been awakened.

"Alas! When people are old, they can't worry so much, so you don't have to bother me anymore about these things! ”

In the faint light of the innermost curtain tent, the old hand slowly put the jade Ruyi that he had been holding on the brocade couch.

"You don't have to interfere, just let the emperor do his own thing...... Do what you have to do. In addition, go and tell Cheng Buzhi to be a good captain of his Changle Palace, take care of the palace gate, and don't have to worry about anything else. ”

After saying this, the old woman seemed to be a little tired, and turned her body away, and said no more. Several palace maids hurriedly came over quietly, lowered the curtains layer by layer, dimmed the lights, and gradually became quiet in the room.

Seeing that there were no other instructions, the old eunuch respectfully lay on the ground and saluted a few times, then retreated and walked out of the palace gate and got up and went by himself. He was an old man who was following the Empress Dowager Dou, and this time, he was keenly aware that this old ancestor's attitude towards certain people and certain things had changed.

It's just that he won't remind those people, and he won't say a word. As long as he and the forces under his command are loyal to the Empress Dowager Dou, any other battles have nothing to do with him.

Gongsun Ao and the guards he brought with him finally found an opportunity to climb over the wall and enter the courtyard. groped all the way, turned around, and dragged a lonely one to an empty house, and used means to question, and finally determined that Wei Qing was really arrested and locked up here.

At this time, everyone secretly called it lucky, they were all brothers who had a good relationship with Wei Qing on weekdays, and they were a little excited when they heard his true whereabouts.

When asked what he wanted to know, he knocked the man unconscious with his scabbard and threw him in a hidden corner. After a little deliberation, they divided into two paths, looked after each other, and each of them went to the place where it was used as a cell.

Let's say that the few big men in charge of the guards, after receiving the message sent by Steward Ping, did not dare to slack off, and several people took turns to torture again, but let them torture in every way, Wei Qing just closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, and did not answer a word about their questions.

After tossing for a while, several big men were tired enough, but they still got nothing. I can't help but admire this tall man a little in my heart, but he just acts on orders, but he will not tolerate mercy.

"Brother, alas! Just do what our buddies say, otherwise, you won't be able to get through it!" A big man said as he whipped him.

"Yes! This life is one's own, and a person's life is only this once, why is this painful? ”

"Our third master said, as long as you confess well, I will release you immediately!"

A few people next to him were also gossiping. But the tall man still drooped his head, and let the leather whip on his body, and the blood soaked through his clothes, and he neither spoke nor opened his eyes.

After estimating the hour, several people became a little annoyed. Remembering what Ping Sanye said, they glanced at each other and decided to use a big move!

I saw a person take out an object from the wooden cabinet in the corner of the wall, black and swarthy, made of iron, shaped like a hoop, connected by a ring to move, with holes at the end of the end, and two cowhide bands pierced.

The man came to Wei Qing with this thing, and snorted at the big man next to him, the big man stopped and whipped, pulled Wei Qing's hair, made his face rise, and said with a cruel smile: "Hey! Don't pretend to be dead yet, let's see what this is? ”

At this time, Wei Qing was already covered in bruises, and his will was drowsy, he slowly opened his somewhat swollen eyes, and he didn't understand for a while what these people wanted to torture themselves.

"Do you see clearly? This thing is an artifact, and that kind of taste can't even be survived by the Daluo Immortals!" The big man in front of him shook the iron hoop in his hand, and he benefited extraordinarily.

"What if you don't say it again...... Put this iron hoop on your head, and see these two cowhide bands? After a while, we tighten harder, and your head hurts more and more, that kind of feeling...... Tsk!" He exclaimed twice deliberately.

Seeing that Wei Qing hadn't reacted yet, the big man pulled down his face.

"Don't think you're tough enough to fight it! This kind of brain hoop is tightened, and the headache is like a knife splitting and sawing, and finally the eyes will burst, and even the skull will crack and the brain will overflow! You're dead! Haha, aren't you afraid?"

Wei Qing smiled miserably, but his voice was a little hoarse: "If the husband dies, his ears will die, why rap!"

"Yay! Still so hard-mouthed? Then I can't complain about our brother's cruelty. ”

After speaking, the two big men pressed his shoulders left and right, so that his head could not move, and then one of them grabbed his hair, and wanted to tie the bloodstained iron hoop to Wei Qing's head.

Suddenly, the door was slashed open from the outside with a knife! A few figures flashed in, and without saying anything, they grabbed their heads and chopped them.

The people in the house were caught off guard and were caught off guard. In a moment, dead or wounded, screaming and screaming.

It turned out that it was Gongsun Ao who killed them. In order to avoid being detected by those who were on guard, they moved slowly and were not familiar with the terrain, so they had to wait for a long time to find this place.

Just now, he heard Wei Qing's voice by the door, and heard that someone was going to put a torture instrument on him, Gongsun Ao didn't care about anything else, drew his sword and broke into the door, and the rest of the people followed, each wielding a sword, fighting chaotically, and cutting down five or six big men in the house to the ground.

When they saw the blurred appearance of Wei Qing's flesh and blood being beaten on the pillar, the guards were furious, and they couldn't be merciful, and killed the few who had fallen to the ground and not died for a while. These big men are also unlucky, they didn't expect to be touched in their own stronghold, and they died in a daze.

Several people hurriedly untied the rope and lowered Wei Qing from the pillar, he was seriously injured and could not walk. Seeing that the brothers came here to sacrifice their lives to save each other, Wei Qing was grateful, and he was anxious again, and hurriedly urged that this place should not stay for a long time, and he should leave quickly!

A sturdy guard carried him on his back, Wei Qingqiang gritted his teeth and insisted, and the rest of the people swung their swords to protect the left and right, and Gongsun Ao rushed out with his head and blade.

As soon as the warning gong sounded, the big men who were resting in various parts of the courtyard quickly got up, lit torches and dragged their weapons straight to this side.

Steward Ping was discussing this matter with the captain of the patrol guard in the room, and when he talked about how to deal with the aftermath if he killed someone, the captain carried the fifty taels of silver stuffed by the butler Ping in his waist, his face was full of joy, and he slammed his chest, promising that no matter what happened, the patrol guard would be responsible for leveling it! There is absolutely no hidden danger left for Ping Sanye.

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a commotion outside, and then someone hurried in to say that there was an invasion of foreign enemies, and killed and injured the brothers, and rescued the person who had been captured!

Steward Ping was furious when he heard this, this is worth it! Someone actually ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall, and dared to come here to rob people! But seeing that this person was in an uproar, he flashed off the wide robe and drew a broad-bladed sword from the side of the desk. The pampered and peaceful-looking fat man finally showed his hideous face.
