Chapter 314: I can only rely on the Old Ancestor to save my life
Zhao Siwei denied that the Zhao clan had instructed the Faceless Society to loot the Lu family's caravan, and Lu Wenen didn't know if he was telling the truth or a lie.
It means very little to use the Question Rune for the monks of enlightenment. The essence of asking the rune is to exert force at the level of the divine soul, but from the breakthrough of foundation building to enlightenment, it is originally a huge leap at the level of the divine soul. By the time of the Enlightenment Period, the Asking Divine Rune was no longer so reliable, at least there were many Enlightenment Monks, who had targeted training, or their own Divine Soul Strength was stronger than others, so it was not too difficult to avoid deception and ask the Divine Rune.
When torturing Zhao Siwei, Lu Wenen didn't think about using the Question Rune at all, it didn't mean much.
In contrast, the threat of death and torture are still used, which may be more effective for the enlightened monks.
As Lu Wenen continued to infuse the essence of life, Zhao Siwei's face changed quite a lot.
The initial infusion of life essence is actually a very comfortable process. However, if it is poured too much, the monk's ability to bear it is also limited, especially the different life essence, which will not only have a very great impact on the body and the foundation of the monk, but also pose a great challenge to the spirit.
The extreme feeling of comfort is too much, and it can be even more uncomfortable than the pain of torture. Zhao Siwei felt that there were tens of thousands of ants crawling under his skin. And if it's just a special feeling in the body, then that's it, the most important thing is that this extreme feeling of comfort will also come out of the soul roots.
How can the degree of that kind of thing compare with the treatment that Zhao Siwei enjoys now!
At the beginning, he was able to deny it as much as he could, but in the end, he was a little unconscious, and the strength of the denial became very small.
In the end, things must be reversed, and that is the ultimate pain. Zhao Siwei couldn't bear it anymore, so he could only reluctantly raise his hand, and said in a trembling, intermittent voice with his eyes rolling: "Stop...... Stop ......"
Lu Wenen eased his strength.
He is actually a little afraid, now Zhao Siwei's state is obviously very bad, and if he continues like this, Lu Wenen is worried that this guy's body will not be able to bear it, and he will be directly blown up by a large amount of life essence.
When a person dies, the pressure on the Zhao family's side, and the pressure brought by the court officials dying without trial in the prison, this can not be mentioned first, the most important thing is that the person is going to die, the clue will be broken, and I don't know how long it will take to continue the matter.
What's more, with the secrecy of the faceless meeting, the people behind are bound to be more cautious, and if they want to find an opportunity, I am afraid it will be more difficult.
Lu Wenen not only stopped, but also appropriately withdrew some excess life essence from Zhao Siwei's body.
Now, the guy looks swollen and unhuman, but at the very least, he's regained his senses.
He gasped and said weakly, "How did you know about the Faceless Society?"
"You don't have to ask about that. Lu Wenen said, "Four years ago, the Lu family's caravan was attacked by the Faceless Society, was this incident done by your Zhao family?"
"It's really not ......" Zhao Siwei saw Lu Wenen raise his hand, as if he was about to pour some kind of power into his body, and hurriedly continued to speak: "But I admit it...... Our Zhao family will have a connection with Faceless. ”
Seeing that Zhao Siwei had the intention of continuing, Lu Wenen didn't do anything more.
Zhao Siwei should not be a member of the Faceless Society, at most he has only had contact and communication with the Faceless Society, but this alone is already very valuable information.
"Why did you come into contact with Faceless?"
"Find them to do something...... Seeing that Lu Wenen was about to do it again, Zhao Siwei hurriedly sped up his speech and began to describe in detail what it was.
“...... We have a batch of goods in Jinzhou that we want to send to Yandu...... I don't know what it is, I really don't know, I haven't taken it...... However, since I can't escort it publicly, either the things are too sensitive, or there are some problems with the origin, but I don't know what the specific situation is......"
"In addition, I have been in contact with faceless meetings a total of twice...... The second time, it was a payment. The faceless meeting gave me a list and asked me to take it to the family. The family didn't say anything, and then let the rest of the family prepare the things on the list, and when it was handed over to the faceless meeting, it was not my responsibility. ”
......
Subsequently, Zhao Siwei told almost everything he knew about the faceless meeting. Of course, all this naturally cannot be voluntary, but under Lu Wenen's means, I have to say.
Among them, Wen En is most concerned about the part about the payment of remuneration mentioned by Zhao Siwei.
He asked Zhao Siwei to write down in detail what Zhao had taken to the faceless meeting, and wrote everything in detail.
Holding these things in his hand, Lu Wenen instinctively felt that something was not right.
Just looking at this list, some of the things in it he knows, and some he doesn't. But there are obviously a lot of things in that part of the understanding that are very valuable.
In particular, there is also a Heavenly Thunder God Wood inside.
This made Lu Wenen think that among the things carried by the Lu family's team at that time, the most valuable ones were the three Heavenly Thunder Divine Trees that they had just bought from the hands of the Yunxiao Sect.
Three Heavenly Thunder God Wood, the market unit price is 50,000 spirit stones. Counting some other things, even if you don't count the personal belongings of many monks on the flying boat at that time, the total value of the goods carried alone exceeded 300,000 spirit stones.
This is, of course, a very high amount of wealth, and it is very normal to attract greedy eyes.
But I always feel that it will not be that simple.
Seeing that in the list of rewards that the faceless society asked for by name to the Zhao family, the Heavenly Thunder Divine Wood appeared, although this did not directly prove anything, but it still made Lu Wenen have a little association.
Could it be ...... Is the Faceless Society collecting the Heavenly Thunder God Wood?
The material of Heavenly Thunder God Wood is generally used for two purposes: for breakthroughs, and for making magic weapons.
But the neuropathy only used the materials used for breakthroughs such as the Heavenly Thunder God Wood or the Cradix Water Jade to make magic weapons, isn't that a tyrannical thing?
But if the real goal of the Faceless Society is to collect a large number of Heavenly Thunder Divine Trees, then what is the use of this kind of treasure for people? Let one or more foundation building monks break through to Qiming, as for using such a big battle?
Unlikely.
Lu Wenen couldn't be sure, so he could only put this clue aside first.
In the past, he was very unfamiliar with the work of 'torture', but after serving as a court lieutenant for three years and insisting on personally investigating and handling cases, he finally honed some experience. He can basically confirm now that Zhao Siwei should have told everything he knew, but what is there to keep it all about?
He planned to be a little more ruthless and try to see if he could get something out of Zhao Siwei's mouth.
However, at this moment, a monk of the Lu family walked in from outside the prison.
"Wenen, someone from the Zhao family has come, and they have already passed the gate of the Arrest Bureau, and they are coming here. ”
"The Arrest Department can also break in casually?"
The person who came smiled bitterly for a lifetime and said: "Wang Sheng, that guy was cowardly, and after saying a few words, he didn't dare to block it anymore and let him go directly." ”
Lu Wenen shook his head, this was also expected.
As he walked out, he asked, "Who is the person from the Zhao family?"
"In the sedan chair, I can't see it, but it's ...... It may be that Zhao Guangxin is close. ”
Hearing this, Lu Wenen's footsteps paused.
Zhao Guangxin is not only the patriarch of the Zhao clan, but also one of the highest-ranking people in the Yan State, he is one of the three princes, and he holds the power and responsibility of supervising the officials of the world.
At the same time, Zhao Guangxin was also a monk in the late Jindan period.
These identities, combined together, made Lu Wenen have to feel tremendous pressure.
He thought of it, he arrested Zhao Siwei ruthlessly, and the Zhao family would not give up, which is why he had a thought before and didn't want to make Zhao Siwei too miserable. Causes
But I didn't expect that the reaction of the Zhao family was so big, and the imperial doctor was there in person...... Turtle tortoise.
In any case, this must only be faced, and there is no need to run.
Before walking out of the prison door, Ven puffed up his chest, paused, and then walked out with a sigh of relief.
Outside the prison gate, a pale blue cloud, floating two feet above the ground, held a royal blue lady with gold trim. Next to and behind the palanquin, it was guarded by a group of guards in armor and armed weapons.
As one of the Three Princes, the Imperial Historian had the right to mobilize a team of Praetorian Guards. These guards cultivated by the imperial court with secret methods are at least the strength of the ninth layer of Qi training, and there are three of them who build the grassroots. They are good at attacking and defending, the armor on their bodies and the weapons in their hands are all specially made, and they are especially good at forming formations and actions, and they are the first-class strong army of the Great Yan Dynasty.
Of course, in front of the high-ranking monks, this is nothing. At least, Lu Wenen was completely sure that even if this forbidden army team formed a formation, he could destroy it all, but it would take some effort. In fact, if it was really Zhao Guangxin himself who was sitting inside, with his strength, he would not need the protection of this team of forbidden guards. They are more like playing the role of a guard of honor, filling the scene.
Lu Wenen stood in front of these people alone, silent.
The sedan chair stopped, and a voice came from inside: "Lu Wenen, the left prisoner of the court lieutenant, are you guilty?"
"Who is Your Excellency?" Lu Wenen asked knowingly.
The curtain on the sedan car opened without wind, revealing the people inside.
Sure enough, it was Zhao Guangxin himself, yes.
"You're remiss if you don't recognize me. ”
"Xia Guan has seen Doctor Yushi. Lu Wenen was helpless, so he could only bow his hand. The only thing he can protect now is the official position of Dayan, so naturally this piece can't be thrown away.
"Answer my question, are you guilty?"
"What is the sin?"
"Abuse of power, what is Zhao Siwei's crime, and where is he at the moment?"
"He forced the nun to do illegal things, the evidence is conclusive, I am very much the court lieutenant left prisoner, arrest him, exercise the law of the country, justified, what crime do I have?"
"Do you have a warrant?"
"Yes!"
"To arrest the imperial court officials, the Taichang Mansion needs to remove his official position first, and the Taichang Mansion can do this?"
This is not necessary, it is determined by law. Lu Wenen responded calmly.
"How is the law written?"
"If there is a major violation of the law......
"Yes?"
"Yes!"
"What?"
"Collusion without faces! This organization, operating in the shadows, has threatened the imperial court many times......"
"Nonsense!" Zhao Guangxin suddenly opened his eyes, and the momentum that belonged to the Jindan monk was unreserved.
Zhao Guangxin was actually a little panicked.
The matter of the faceless meeting is very secret, even many descendants of the Zhao family don't know about it. At first, he thought that Lu Wenen was in trouble with Zhao Siwei and arrested him in prison just because of the contradictions between the Lu family and the Zhao family. After all, when Zhao Guangxin first received the news, he only knew that Lu Wenen was arrested on the charge of forcing female cultivators.
As for Zhao Siwei's arrest and the matter related to the faceless meeting, Zhao Guangxin of course also thought about it. But after all, the faceless society is very secretive, and Lu Wenen has only been in Yandu to serve as a court captain for more than two years and less than three years, so he shouldn't be able to find out anything.
Outcome......
Hearing that Lu Wenen blew up the faceless meeting, Zhao Guangxin knew that his nephew said something that should not be said. At the same time, he also knew that he couldn't let Lu Wenen say any more.
This matter involves a lot.
Zhao Guangxin has even moved to kill, but he is still a little hesitant and entangled in his heart.
Although Zhao Guangxin hasn't made a move yet, Lu Wenen, who is facing all this, still feels that his heart is clenched by something, and he can't breathe.
Lu Wenen held his spirit, tried to reach out, and touched his waist.
There, there are his hole cards.
But Brother Jindan's deterrent power was too strong, even if he didn't really make a move, just suppressing the momentum, it made it difficult for Lu Wenen to move.
And at this moment, a voice came from not far away: "Brother Zhao, what kind of wind blew you here?"
Zhao Guangxin didn't move, his eyes were still staring straight at Lu Wenen.
He could hear whose voice this was, Da Yan Tingwei Guan Leping.
Guan Leping is the head of the Guan family, and he is also a monk in the Jindan period.
As Guan Leping got closer and closer, Zhao Guangxin could only temporarily restrain his strength. He walked out of the sedan chair, looked at Guan Leping expressionlessly, and said, "Guan Tingwei, Your Majesty is not strict." ”
When I usually see it, Guan Leping, who always has a serious face, is smiling at this time.
He said: "Brother Zhao, I have made this matter clear, and I will definitely give you an explanation." ”
"How?"
"Lu Wenen, the left supervisor of the court lieutenant, flouted the law of the country, and went to prison together with the monks of the arrest agency who acted without authorization this time, and he will definitely find out the matter here afterwards and give Brother Zhao an explanation!"
Zhao Guang thought about it for a moment and felt that this proposal was very good.
He did it to Lu Wenen on the spot here, and there was no problem in killing him casually, but he would inevitably be criticized afterwards.
If you put people in prison first, and then find a way to take care of them, regardless of whether it is the entire 'violent death prison' or some other means, it is much better than killing them in public, and you can get by a little more face-saving.
"So be it. Zhao Guangxin said.
Guan Leping nodded with a smile, and then looked at Lu Wenen again: "Why don't you catch it soon?"
Lu Wenen did not speak.
His hand had already touched his waist, and there, a blank paper charm ignited.
This is what the ancestor left to him before he set off to Yandu.
He still remembers the words of Lao Zu at that time: "When you encounter danger, burn it, and I will know." ”
Now he himself has no choice, and he can only rely on his ancestors to save his life.
