Ye Yunyang and Dongfang Yixue returned to the holy temple, and at the same time, the city guards launched a city-wide investigation, strictly inspecting the people entering and leaving the city, focusing on the elderly.

The emperor knew that this matter was also very important, and ordered the officials at all levels in the imperial capital to pay attention to it and be sure to bring the killer to justice.

But three days have passed, and the killer is still at large, the only thing that is certain is that he failed to escape from the imperial capital, and no one knows where he is hiding.

Because they failed to catch the killer, the generals of the city guard and officials at all levels of government were scolded by the emperor, saying that they were incompetent, and ordered to solve the case within a time limit, otherwise they all went home and picked up the children.

Ye Yunyang sat in Huo Hong's living room, drank all the tea in the cup, and complained: "Senior brother, when can I go to the street, it's boring to stay in the temple every day." ”

Huo Hong said earnestly: "The killer hasn't been caught yet, and it will still be dangerous to you, so it's better to stay here with peace of mind." ”

"But the army and the government arrest people with such fanfare, does he dare to show his face?" Ye Yunyang retorted.

"There's nothing wrong with being careful, in case that guy is an outlaw, he will put you to death if he fights for his life, bear with it, he can't escape. Huo Hong is colorful.

The senior brother was kind, he really couldn't refuse, so he could only nod and say, "Okay then." ”

At this time, one of Huo Hong's apprentices walked in quickly, saluted the two and said: "Master, little uncle, a young man came to the gate, saying that there is something very important to find the little uncle, I asked him what the matter was, but he refused to say, and said that he could only tell the little uncle alone, so as not to leak the news." ”

Ye Yunyang was stunned: "Boy?"

"Yes, he is not yet twenty years old, his eyebrows are clear, but he has scars on his face and hands, I think he is very suspicious and drives him away, but he just won't leave, he has to see you. ”

Ye Yunyang asked again: "Did he say his name?"

"I didn't say it, but he said that as long as I mention two things to you, you will know who he is, one is the root of the city wall, and the other is a hundred taels of silver. The nephew said in a respectful tone.

Ye Yunyang smiled: "I know who he is, it's been less than a month, and he came to me impatiently...... No, what did you just say, he was afraid of leaking the news? Could it be that he knows where the killer is hiding, so you go and bring him in. ”

"Yes. ”

A few minutes later, a little beggar dressed in cloth arrived, with a look of obvious shock on his face, he had entered the temple for the first time.

Ye Yunyang glanced at him and said, "Yes, although it is not yet time for you and me to meet, your dress has already made me very satisfied, what is the matter with coming to me?"

The little beggar knelt on the ground with a puff and said, "I heard that Engong was assassinated in the downtown area, and the little one searched in many ways, and finally found the hiding place of the killer, and came to report the news." ”

Huo Hong frowned and said, "Young man, are you sure you're not joking?"

"The little one doesn't dare, even if he lends me ten guts, I don't dare to lie in front of Engong, not to mention that this is a holy temple, and the small one doesn't dare to make a mistake. He said tremblingly.

Huo Hong asked again: "Thousands of city guards and hundreds of officials can't find it, how did you find it?"

He replied: "Engong knows what the little one used to do, the officials just searched from house to house, they ignored a very important point, I guess the killer may be hiding as a beggar, so he secretly contacted his former partners and asked them to help find it, and I really found it." ”

Ye Yunyang and Huo Hong glanced at each other and asked, "Where is the killer hiding?"

"The Old Town God's Temple in Nancheng, since the construction of the New Town God's Temple a few decades ago, it has gradually fallen into disuse and become a gathering place for beggars, and he pretended to be a beggar and hid there. ”

Huo Hong stood up and instructed his apprentice: "Go and concentrate the manpower immediately, this seat will personally lead the team to arrest people, and let people go to inform the chief general of the city guard, let him lead five hundred people to surround the old city god temple in Nancheng, and don't let out a single fly." ”

"Yes!"

Ye Yunyang said: "I'll go too!" By the way, Senior Brother, you asked people to arrange for this young man to live first, and I have more important tasks to hand over to him." ”

After making arrangements, the two of them led thirty temple protectors of the Tongyuan Realm, plus more than a dozen first-level priests, to the southern city.

After receiving the order, the commander of the city guard personally led 500 elite soldiers to guard the intersection leading to the old city god temple in Nancheng.

In the dilapidated City God Temple, dozens of beggars were taking a nap in the sun, and Huo Hong, Ye Yunyang and others suddenly appeared, and they did not react.

Ye Yunyang soon noticed the difference, there was a beggar huddled under the shadow of a wall, not basking in the sun like the others, looking a little out of place.

He looked at Nunu over there, Huo Hong immediately understood what he meant, and instructed the Dharma Protector Elder at the head: "Go and arrest that guy, be careful that he has a poisonous hidden weapon hidden on his body." ”

The Dharma Protector Elder smiled: "High Priest, don't worry, just a Knowing Realm martial artist, even if he has hidden weapons all over his body, he can't escape from the palm of our hands." ”

After saying that, he led ten Dharma protectors to surround him.

The old beggar continued to curl up in the corner, motionless, and when the Dharma Protectors were about to start the arrest, he suddenly jumped up from the ground, holding a bamboo pipe and aiming at a person.

Syllable......

The Dharma Protector Elder shot out a stone, in the middle of the bamboo pipe, the bamboo pipe broke into two pieces in response, and fell to the ground with the flying arrows that had not yet been shot, and the three Dharma Protectors rushed up to catch it, and the Dharma Protector Elder raised his hand and slapped it on his head, scattering his Heavenly Machine Position and Heavenly Sudden Position, and the old beggar immediately became a wasted person.

Then he was brought to Ye Yunyang and Huo Hong, and the Dharma Protector Elder pulled off his hat and said, "From this person's appearance and skin color, it is not difficult to judge that he is a barbarian. ”

The old man's complexion was dark and dark, his facial features and face shape were different from those of the Han Empire, and his eyes were bright, but now he had a more dead gray color.

Huo Hong shouted and asked: "Who instructed you to assassinate Ye Yunyang, tell me honestly!"

The old man snorted lightly: "It's my bad luck to fall into your hands, if you want to kill it, you have to kill it, but if you don't want to pry my mouth open, I won't say it." ”

Ye Yunyang smiled: "Yes, it seems that you are ready to be a tough guy, but I don't know if you can resist torture to extract a confession, I have a hundred ways to make you speak." Senior brother, escort him back, and I will interrogate him personally. ”

Huo Hong nodded: "Okay, everything is up to the fate of the junior brother, and the team is closed." ”

Half an hour later, in a warehouse in the temple that had just been converted into a torture room, looking at the charcoal brazier and the simplified version of the tiger stool, as well as the boning knife, pliers, hammers and other things found from the kitchen, Ye Yunyang complained: "Senior brother, how did you do it, a huge holy temple doesn't even have a dungeon, and there are no torture tools, you are too incompetent as a high priest, right?"

Huo Hong's eyes widened: "This is a holy temple and not a prison, why do you need a dungeon and torture tools, what do you want?"

Ye Yunyang smiled: "Have you heard of the ten tortures?"

Huo Hong shook his head, and Ye Yunyang said in disappointment: "It's a shame that you are still the high priest, you haven't even heard of the ten tortures, it's too much of a failure, right?" Senior brother, I'll give you a show of embarrassment, let them send the killer in, tie it to the pillar first, and don't tie it with your hands exposed." ”

With suspicion, Huo Hong instructed the apprentices to recruit, the killer was tied to the pillar, Ye Yunyang picked up a hammer and a few bamboo sticks and walked over, and said to the killer: "I will nail the bamboo sticks into your fingernails one by one, unless you are willing to confess...... Yo he still dares to stare at me, that is, he doesn't want to recruit, which is exactly what I want. ”

In fact, he was afraid that the other party was a soft bone, and he failed to use the top ten tortures when he interrogated Ma Wenbin last time, which made him regret it for a long time.

Shove a bamboo stick into the killer's fingernails and smash it with a hammer, causing the killer to scream in pain.

Ye Yunyang didn't bother to ask again, he directly picked up the second bamboo stick and smashed it in, then the third and fourth, the killer's screams were getting higher and higher every time, Huo Hong, who was watching from the side, frowned, he didn't expect the little junior brother to be such a ruthless person.

It wasn't until the fifth bamboo stick was used up that Ye Yunyang spoke: "Don't worry, this is just the beginning, if you don't say it for a while, I will pull out the bamboo stick and then pull out your nails, and then use a hammer to break your fingers one by one, and smash them with flesh and blood." ”

The killer's whole body trembled, his face was full of cold sweat, Ye Yunyang continued: "When your two hands are gone, the next thing to do is to wash the criminal law, splash boiling water on your body, and then use an iron brush to brush off the half-cooked skin and flesh until the white bones and internal organs are exposed, and you will not die at this time, your head will still remain awake, and you will live for at least ten days and eight days." ”

The killer trembled and shouted at the top of his voice: "I am willing to confess, I just ask you to give me a happy death!"

Ye Yunyang frowned, and said softly: "You have to think about it, how can a tough guy bow his head so quickly, my ten tortures are only one, so I have to try five or six before confessing." ”

The killer was about to cry: "I am willing to confess, it was the barbarian king who asked me to assassinate you, and promised to reward me with 10,000 taels of gold after the deed is completed, plus 3,000 sheep, 500 cattle and 20 slave girls......"

Ye Yunyang's face sank, and he turned around and said, "Senior brother, it is indeed the barbarian king Meng Huo." ”

Huo Hong said angrily: "The little barbarian king is so bold, he knows that the little junior brother is the master's closed disciple, and he dares to let people assassinate you, it is simply bold! But little junior brother, where did you learn such vicious torture methods?"

Ye Yunyang didn't think about it and said: "From Dongping Kingdom, last time I caught the academy's spies, the monarch used this method to torture to extract confessions, and I learned it by watching from the sidelines." ”

Anyway, he is no longer from Dongping, and he has suffered a lot of grievances, so it is necessary to smear Chen Mingda's face.

Huo Hong's face darkened: "Chen Mingda is also a bastard!" I will go to meet the king, inform Your Majesty of the killer's confession, and let Your Majesty decide this matter personally." ”
