After Li Xi returned to the Hall of Eternal Life.

The entire Chang'an City fell into an inexplicable panic.

The guards of the East Factory went door-to-door to investigate.

Anyone suspicious will be taken down immediately, and they will be taken back to the dungeon of Dongchang to be tortured.

Rebels are killed in the streets!

And the palace guards are also in action!

200,000 palace guards surrounded the four gates of Chang'an City.

No one is allowed to enter or leave!

Death to those who disobey!

The emperor was furious, and millions of corpses were ambushed!

It's not just Chang'an City!

The waves on the rivers and lakes are also darkened.

With the news of the reward issued by the emperor himself.

All the people in the rivers and lakes suddenly boiled.

The reputation of the Demon Sect is not good in the first place!

Countless young knights who have just entered the rivers and lakes originally wanted to kill a demon to make a name for themselves!

Now, with a bounty, killing the demon can not only make a name for himself, but also get a lot of money!

How does this not make their hearts flutter?

Especially the last bounty!

Kill the sect master of the Demon Sect and reward 10,000 taels of gold!

That's a golden tael!

Who can't be tempted by such wealth?

Even if they are also members of the Six Realms of the Demon Sect, they are secretly investigating the traces of the sect leader of the Demon Sect...

...

Hall of Eternal Life!

Li Ci leaned slightly on the throne of the dragon chair.

At this time, Li Ci finally figured out that this assassination was a warning to him from some people!

Some people don't want to see another Ming Jun appear in Datang!

That's why I joined forces with the Demon Gate to shoot!

Li Ci knew in his heart that since the last dynasty, he had made drastic moves in the court, and he had already entered the eyes of some people.

Thinking of this, Li Ci's eyes narrowed slightly.

In a way, that's also a good thing.

Just take advantage of this opportunity to follow the vine and touch the melons, and wipe out all these people, and never suffer in the future.

Li Ci wants them to know that the Tang Dynasty is Li Ci's Datang, not the Tang Dynasty of those who are sneaky and only know how to assassinate.

...

An hour later, Li Xi Xuan Cao Zhengchun entered the temple.

Cao Zhengchun is commanding many guards in Dongchang, completing the tasks assigned by Li Ci and thoroughly investigating Chang'an City.

When Cao Zhengchun heard that the emperor wanted him to pass, he immediately put down everything at hand and rushed to the Hall of Eternal Life.

"I've seen Your Majesty!" Cao Zhengchun knelt down and saluted.

Li Ci rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Get up, how is the investigation?"

Cao Zhengchun bowed down and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the palace has almost been investigated, and the remnants of the Demon Gate are disguised as show girls to enter the palace..."

Cao Zhengchun said this, looking hesitant: "Your Majesty, the matter of the show girl is the will of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is in charge, and the Queen Mother is suspicious..."

Cao Zhengchun really deserves to be the overseer of Dongchang, and he is so bold that he bites the queen mother.

Li Ci frowned slightly: "The Queen Mother is my biological mother, and I believe that my mother will not assassinate me, so there is no need to investigate this line." ”

"Obey!" Cao Zhengchun said with his head bowed.

"How is the Tantai Yi people doing there?" Li Ci asked suddenly.

Although, in the Yong'an Palace, the Taiyi people were seriously injured and wanted to die, which dispelled Li Ci's suspicions at that time, but afterwards Li Ci still asked Cao Zhengchun to investigate.

Li Ci knows very well that as an emperor, there are no many people in the world who want to die by themselves!

As the emperor's biological mother, the queen mother shares the fate of the emperor, and assassinating the emperor will do all kinds of harm to the queen mother, so Li Xi believes in the queen mother.

But the Taiyi people...

Li Ci couldn't guarantee whether this was a bitter trick of the Demon Gate.

"Your Majesty, the people of Tantai are still in a coma and cannot be interrogated. ”

"But according to the intelligence of the Dongchang spies, the relationship between the Taiyi people and the assassination should not be big!"

Cao Zhengchun bowed and said.

"Oh?"

"Why?"

Li Ci became interested.

"The people of Tantai Yi are from the Demon Gate Yin Kui Sect, and the Yin Kui Sect and the Demon Sect are as deep as the sea. ”

"Of the six realms of the Demon Gate, the other five realms can unite and collude with each other. ”

"But it's almost impossible for the Yin Aoi Sect and the Demon Aspect Sect!"

Cao Zhengchun reported.

Li Ci nodded slightly when he heard this, and continued to ask: "How are the interrogations of those remnants of the Demon Sect who have been taken?"

"It's already locked up in the dungeon of the East Factory, and the old slave will go over and interrogate it in person later!"

Cao Zhengchun said.

"I know!"

"This matter must be investigated to the end!"

Li Xi looked at Cao Zhengchun and spoke.

"The old slave understands!"

Cao Zhengchun left the palace and immediately returned to Dongchang.

"How's the torture going?"

Cao Zhengchun sat on the throne of the Overseer and asked softly.

This is also Cao Zhengchun's consistent style.

Anyone who is imprisoned in the Dongchang dungeon is tortured for an hour before being interrogated.

"Back to the Overseer, basically according to the Governor's orders, these remnants of the Demon Gate have basically been recruited, and only the Deputy Sect Master of the Demon Sect is still fighting!"

"Really?"

Cao Zhengchun smiled and said, "In that case, the miscellaneous family will go over in person to see what secrets this deputy sect master has!"

Cao Zhengchun set off for the Dongchang dungeon.

Generally speaking, with Cao Zhengchun's identity, there is no need to personally torture prisoners and torture them to extract confessions.

But the remnants of the Demon Sect were told by His Majesty, and Cao Zhengchun would only be relieved if he handled it himself.

The dungeon of the East Factory is very dark.

There was a smell of decay.

After Cao Zhengchun arrived, he walked directly to the end and stopped in front of a cell in the deepest part.

In this cell is a woman with a wrinkled face.

This woman was one of the two deputy sect masters of the Demon Aspect Sect.

At this time, as soon as the forbidden time passed, this innate extreme master seemed to be fifty years old in an instant, with gray hair and a long life.

Cao Zhengchun looked at the deputy sect master: "If you are honest and tell everything you know, the miscellaneous family may give you a good time!"

The deputy sect master's face was extremely resentful: "Imperial Court Eagle Dog, you must not die well!"

"Hey..."

Cao Zhengchun sighed lightly: "Why bother?"

"Someone!"

"Let me taste the five hundred and forty kinds of torture in the East Factory, one by one!"

"If it doesn't work, then try it again!"

Cao Zhengchun said softly.

"Overseer, if torture is used excessively, the subordinates are worried that she will not be able to bear it!"

One of the guards who followed behind Cao Zhengchun couldn't help but say.

The five hundred and forty kinds of torture in Dongchang simply represent the ultimate pain in the world, like skinning and extracting bones, which is just an appetizer.

A person like the deputy sect master, who was already dying, might not be able to carry it for long.

Others died under torture.

But this deputy sect master of the Demon Sect can't die until he knocks her mouth open!

"Don't worry, there is a miscellaneous family, she can't die if she wants to!"

Cao Zhengchun said gloomily.

"Subordinates obey!"

The Overseer begins to prepare the torture instruments.

A moment later!

Screams rang out from the cell.

Half a day later.

Cao Zhengchun looked at the note in his hand, on which was that the deputy sect master of the Demon Sect couldn't bear the torture, and honestly wrote down all the information he knew.

"Sooner or later, you have to confess, why struggle?"

Cao Zhengchun shook his head slightly and looked at the note.

"I didn't expect it to be this place!"

Cao Zhengchun said softly.
