The clouds in the night sky revealed the moon, the streets were covered with a faint white mist, and the moonlight poured in from the small windows of the government prison with two lanterns.

Bang Bang Bang ......

The leather whip flew in the air, and it was pulled down fiercely, and the head of the execution cell wiped the blood stains on his face, and went to the bucket next to him to wash it.

Moment.

The cell door was opened, and the figure with a thin knife at his waist led several catchers in and waved his hand.

"Wake him up!"

"Yes!"

The cell boss hurriedly asked his subordinates to pour the water in the bucket on the prisoner, the ragged Taoist robe was stained with specks of blood, and the Yangming Taoist spewed turbid air, and slowly woke up, not even having the strength to beg for mercy.

His lips just kept murmuring, "...... don't dare...... Don't dare......"

The black dog's blood broke his spell, all the way to the prison of the palace, the experienced catcher did not give him a chance to use his mana at all, directly opened his mouth with a bulk, tied his fingers together, and his whole body was also put on the torture rack, followed by a severe torture.

At this time, even if you find an opportunity to escape with mana, your body is almost disabled, and you can't support it out of the city.

Zuo Zhengyang untied his weapon and handed it to his deputy, looked at the Taoist on the torture rack, and stepped forward.

"I've never seen a spell, can this Dao Master cast a show or two for me?"

On the torture rack, the Taoist with his hair in a loose bun and dripping water stains raised his face slightly, then shook his head lightly and hung down again.

"...... Bendao..... I don't dare..... beg Lord Hunt to spare my life......"

"Spare you?!" Zuo Zhengyang looked at him with his hands and narrowed his eyes: "Won't you bring your life to the Zhou Mansion, the Zhang Mansion, and this capture in the future?"

Yangming Daoist shook his head again and again, with blood in the corners of his mouth, and made a difficult voice: "No..... if you can save a life, you will never stay in Hegu County in the future...... Ask for the general arrest of Kai Grace ..... Kai Grace. ”

"What a shame for a monk. ”

The words of the chief arrest echoed in this torture room, and after a pause, Zuo Zhengyang looked at him and spoke again: "Fortunately, this matter did not kill anyone, it is big and big, and it is a small matter to say it in a small way, if you want to go out, what do you need to ask, what do you answer, what do you think?"

Yangming Daoren looked at him in a daze, opened his bloody mouth and laughed, and nodded repeatedly.

"When the adults asked, I said. ”

"Well, since the Taoist is refreshing, Ben Yu will never break his promise. ”

Zuo Zhengyang waved his hand and asked people to take the confession book and stand next to him, and he just spoke.

"How many taels of silver do you receive from Zhang Dongming to do things for him?"

"One hundred and seventy taels. ”

"What are you doing?"

"Back to your lordship...... Treat Zhang Liancheng, the son of Zhang Fuzhu, and ask for elixir. ”

"Where is the elixir? Why are you persecuting the daughter of Zhou Yu of the Zhou Mansion? His two families have a marriage contract, why do they kill each other?"

"The elixir is under Zhou Rong's boudoir, it is a trace of the spirit of the earth to give birth to Renzhi, Zhang Fuzhu knows the relationship between the two families, and his son was injured by the fox charm, and he came to the door without face, so he had to let this way do it, he didn't know, Zhou Rong was injured by me. ”

Zuo Zhengyang nodded.

"Even if what you said is the truth, then why do you want to make a hurtful move? With your cultivator's mana, it can be easily taken out. ”

The words paused, and before the Taoist on the shelf could answer, Zuo Zhengyang suddenly spoke, and his voice was like thunder: "It's clear that you still want to do dirty things to Zhou Rong!!

Yang Ming Daoist was stunned for a moment, he had already been tortured, he was covered in injuries, and the pain of the wound tearing made him unable to concentrate, and he was suddenly disrupted by this loud drink, and subconsciously shook his head and argued.

"My lord, I didn't do anything dirty, I just took a fancy to the elixir and wanted to drag Zhang Liancheng to death......"

At this point, everyone in the prison looked at the man and let out a long "oh!" sound.

Only then did Yang Ming Dao react, he was cheated, and he hung limply on the torture rack, not daring to look at the head catcher opposite.

Zuo Zhengyang stretched out his hand to lift his chin and stared at a pattern surrounded by five fires on the Taoist's chest.

"Treasure theft is harmful...... It seems that there are still a lot of things that the Taoist chief is hiding, so I will ask you again, did you do the case of Chen Yuanwai in Fushui County?"

The Taoist on the shelf didn't dare to speak indiscriminately at the moment, and shook his head again and again for fear of being tricked again.

"No..... I didn't..... no"

"It seems that the Taoist still needs help to think about it. Zuo Zhengyang took half a step back, and the interrogators from the prison came over, dipped in salt water, and were about to be tortured.

Zuo Zhengyang wiped the blood stains on his fingertips, took the weapon, turned around and left the cell, and waved his hand: "Ben Zhu didn't break his word, let him go, but broke the tendons of his hands and feet, cut off his tongue, so as not to harm people again." ”

Just as the deputy gave his hand, the screams of the Yangming Daoist suddenly sounded in the cell, and the cell head holding the whip was stunned.

"Lao Tzu hasn't started fighting yet, what's your name?!"

Outside, Zuo Zhengyang, who had not gone far, also stopped, looking inside from the outside, on the torture rack, the strength of the person who didn't know where he came from, struggled left and right, his eyes widened, looking at the dome of the cell, and let out a heart-rending scream.

"Ah......hh Adults help me. ”

Zuo Zhengyang hurriedly rushed into the cell and shouted: "Put him down!"

However, the voice of the Taoist was mixed with his loud shout, and in an instant, the bones were brittle, and a loud bang was heard.

The blood mist exploded in the cell.

Zuo Zhengyang waved his hand to disperse the blood mist, and after a while, his vision could be seen clearly, and on the torture rack opposite, only the pair of arms of the Dao man were still hanging there.

His gaze swept around, and the ground and the wooden pillars of the fence were full of broken flesh and the remains of Taoist robes.

There was silence for a while.

"Clean up this place and report it truthfully. ”

Walking outside, the bright color was already clouded, and he took a breath, thinking back to what had happened before, and frowned.

"Something terrible seems to have happened...... It's been extinguished. ”

The white fog on the street gradually dissipated, the white belly of the fish lit up, rose to the clouds, and the city, which had been silent all night, gradually became noisy, and the residents near Zhangfu got up early to buy vegetables and fetch water, and gathered at the well to chat.

"Ouch, something strange happened last night, something was screaming in the night. ”

"Did you hear that, too?"

"Didn't ...... hear me? Like thunder, I was still sleeping in my bed, and I was so frightened that I fell to the ground. ”

"It seems to be from Zhang's house. ”

"At his family, his son seems to have been sick a few months ago, and when he heard the rumors, he was fascinated by the fox spirit, and he also invited a master to do it. ”

"......Wait, my house is close, last night I seemed to see a team of arresters entering Zhang's mansion, as if they had captured a Taoist priest......"

"No, why did I see a scholar walking with a catcher?"

"What does that book look like?"

"It's too dark to see ......"

In the chattering gossip of the market, on the other side of the city, the sun shines through the door plaque with the word 'Zhou Mansion', the morning light swept away the haze of the night, and a servant heard that in the study, the master talked with a scholar named Lu Liangsheng, and from time to time let out hearty laughter, probably because he understood that the strange things in the house had been removed, and quickly spread his legs, and quickly told the news to the house.

In the side courtyard, the Taoist wrapped in bandages listened to the laughter and chatter of the servants and maids in the courtyard, and basked in the sun leisurely.

Sunlight poured through the window lattice, and the light and dust flew and shone through the walls and the portraits of beautiful women sprinkled throughout the room.

"Humph......"

Under the bed, the toad Taoist dragged the gourd that was taller than him, slowly climbed out, grinned and hummed a few times, the person stood up, supported the gourd with one flipper, crossed his waist with one hand, and the hum turned into laughter.

"Hahaha..... heheheha........"

The toad looked at the gourd.

"....Thousands of people have practiced the elixir...... Heheha...... Not only can it restore the mana of the old mana, but also change the human body...... Repair the Demon Pill again......"

The frog's webs bent and pinched, and the toad looked up at the high window lattice, looking at the light dust in the sun.

“...... Old man..... will soon return to the top, invincible in the world!"

Meanwhile.

The long street adjacent to the mansion is on the way to Zuo Zhengyang on horseback.
