Night is coming.

The smell of blood in the prison tonight was particularly strong, and the whole space was still very dim, and the few oil lamps hanging on the walls were faintly shining.

There is no day all year round, and even the air is turbid.

A terrible roar broke the treachery of the prison, but it was clothed with the despair of purgatory.

Shen Zhan sat on the steps, looking at Lu Xu An who had fainted because of excessive fright with an expressionless face, the dim oil lamp shimmered on his face, cold like a Hades king in purgatory.

At this time, a black flag guard arrived with a bucket of water: "Tell the young master, the subordinate you want the water has brought it to you." ”

"Wake him up." Shen Zhan's voice did not fluctuate.

"Yes!"

When the words fell, the Black Flag Guard directly splashed a bucket full of water on Lu Xu'an, who had fainted to the ground, and almost instantly, Lu Xu'an's whole person trembled, and he sat up with a nervous scream.

Lu Xu'an looked around with trepidation, and finally looked at Shen Zhan who was sitting on the steps.

In the past few days in prison, he has lived like a ghost, he can't eat enough, he can't dress warmly, and occasionally rats burrow his pants.

"Shen... Sink... Shen Xiaohou Ye ......" Lu Xu was trembling and crawled towards the steps on his knees, "Shen Xiaohou I beg you to let me go, I have done many wrong things, but those were all instructed by Sun Kunqian to do it!" ”

Shen Zhan said: "Yes, Ben Hou heard that night that you mentioned that there was someone behind Sun Kunqian, thinking that you should know something?" ”

Lu Xu'an's eyes flickered, and he thought for a while: "I... I also guessed, I don't know anything, and I hope that Shen Xiaohou will know everything! ”

Shen Zhan's eyes were indifferent, he couldn't see a trace of waves, and when he saw Lu Xu An kowtowing and kowtowing, his head was about to break, and he said impatiently: "If you enter the prison, you won't go out again, you might as well explain it clearly, Ben Hou can still spare your life, otherwise there will not even be a whole corpse." ”

Lu Xu An was so frightened that his nose and tears flowed, and he shouted: "I really don't know, Shen Xiaohou spared me, spare me, I only knew two years ago that Sun Kunqian had been in contact with people again, he oppressed the people and cheated taxes, all of which were given to that person, and I really don't know anything else!" ”

Shen Zhan said: "Sun Kunqian, you don't know, what about Sun Jinlan?" Ben Hou believes that couples who sleep on the same couch, you can't know anything from Sun Jinlan's mouth? ”

Lu Xu'an was stunned, thought for a long time, and suddenly flashed with a weak heart on his face, and said tremblingly: "I am... I know something, and it was a long time ago, when Sun Kunqian didn't take office to commit Yue Zhizhou, and my daughter-in-law was drunk...... It seems to be mentioned...... Sun Kunqian and her are not brothers and sisters. ”

In fact, the trial of Lu Xu'an and others could have been completed in the Guilty Moon, but not long after the Guilty Moon Rebellion was quelled, Shen Zhan led the Black Flag Guard to investigate Sun Kunqian's residence, only to find that all traces of him had been wiped clean, and Sun Jinlan, Sun Xinran, and the housekeeper of the Sun Mansion had all disappeared.

These can't have been done by Sun Kunqian alone.

The only thing that can be explained is that there are still people in the dark of the Zhizhou Mansion that night, they are waiting for who will win or lose in the end, if Sun Kunqian loses, then everything he has in the moon will be wiped clean, and the people who know his details will have to disappear.

Shen Zhan looked at Lu Xu An below with a complicated expression, and said, "You said that they are not brothers and sisters, how did you know?" ”

Lu Xu'an said: "This ...... How many years have passed, I don't remember, it was Sun Jinlan who said it drunk, and I didn't care about it at that time. ”

Shen Zhan said: "You once said that Sun Kunqian has a master behind him, do you know the origin of that person?" ”

Lu Xu'an shook his head in a panic: "I don't know, I don't know, but I know that Sun Kunqian will make an appointment with a grange outside the city every time he meets him, and I have sent someone to take a sneak look once before, but...... But it was found that the person was still dead. ”

Shen Zhan didn't rub the wrench in his hand, as if he was thinking.

These people who were brought back to prison for interrogation said that they didn't know about Sun Kunqian, and if they didn't understand, they could identify his crimes, and they didn't even know that he knew martial arts, and even Lu Xu'an, his sister-in-law who had been by his side for more than ten years, didn't know.

How deep is the mind of such a person?

At this moment, when he heard a squeak, Yue Yang pushed open the door, limped in, and said with his fists clenched: "Young master, just now Gu Wanlu has explained all the things about the ordnance, and the batch of ordnance that went south was indeed sent to the moon, and the person who handled the ordnance was ...... It is from the Ye family in Yuzhou. ”

Shen Zhan's hand holding his fingers stopped suddenly, remembering the steward surnamed Liu he had seen in Xueyue Qinyuan that time, he glanced at Lu Xu An, who was trembling and couldn't speak, and said to Yue: "What else does Gu Wanlu say?" ”

Yue Yang's expression showed unnatural disgust: "Before he started asking, he had already fainted twice, asked him ten sentences, ten sentences were not clear, and everyone who could ask was asked yesterday, and he couldn't ask anything." ”

He cleared his throat and said, "Young master, the Ye family in Yuzhou is the cousin's mother's family, what should we do next?" Is it directly written to the governor of Yuzhou to seal up the Ye family, or does the young lord have other arrangements? ”

Shen Zhan's eyes were deep: "Seal up the Ye family and let the governor of Yuzhou detain the people involved in the incident and send them to Beijing." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will do it."

Yue Yang limped and just walked forward, and Qin Xiao walked in one step back, hugged his fists and said, "Young Master, His Royal Highness the Prince, Master Lou has arrived at the Moon Pass." ”

"What?!" Lu Xu'an trembled when he heard this, his face was like earth, and he lay on the ground and wailed even harder: "Master Shen Xiaohou spare my life, I will shake everything I know, you can spare my life." ”

Shen Zhan turned a deaf ear, got up and went down the steps, and said to the black horse guard at the door: "Leave him alive for the time being, and put him in prison." ”

Lu Xu'an raised his head suddenly, and before he could be happy, he heard Shen Zhan add another sentence, "Go back to Beijing and ask for a beheading", and fainted again.

A few more days passed, and it rained for several days, and the injuries were almost healed, and the holy decree of the saint was issued, and the four towns were facing a situation of waiting to be rebuilt.

The prince came to this disappearance and passed it down, and the people of Eucalyptus Town didn't know how happy they were - that was the prince, the future son of heaven, it would be a blessing in this life to be able to see his face.

Who knew that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, two days later, the prince went to Qiwei Town, Yuqiu Town, Nan Town, but did not come to Eucalyptus Town.

A small half moon passed on the battlefield in a blink of an eye, and before returning to the Moon City, the Eucalyptus Town Medical House held a rare banquet.

It was also at this banquet that Ye Lingwu learned that Sun, Lu, Zhao, Gu, and the five Wang families were all raided, and all the people in the palace were exiled.
