This martial artist just wants to be an official

Chapter 258 Clues
"Those who guard Pindao will naturally know their appearance and characteristics."

When the Holy Son saw Lu Yuanzhi gnashing his teeth, his face became quite serious.

Lu Yuanzhi looked over suddenly:
"Tell me."

The Holy Son took a deep breath and said:
"I met the rebel leader Pindao who was imprisoned in the government prison once."

Lu Yuanzhi's eyes lit up.

This is a clue. If this person is tortured to extract a confession, a lot of things may be asked.

"anything else?"

"There are two other people, Pindao, who still have fresh memories."

The Son recalled:
"I don't know what the names of those two people are, Pindao. When they were guarding Pindao here, they communicated through voice transmission. Moreover, the two people were dressed in black and wore bamboo hats. As for their appearance... I'm sorry Pindao is shallow. Taoist thoughts cannot be penetrated at all.”

When Lu Yuanzhi heard this, his heart sank slightly.

This place is in Prince Yu's palace. Even if someone wants to excuse Prince Yu, it is impossible.

But it is not enough to be the last straw for King Yu. In addition to physical evidence, there is also a need for witnesses. If the person who cooperated with King Yu can be caught...

Lu Yuanzhi's eyes flashed with an extremely dangerous light.

He never minded unleashing the most vicious ideas in the world on immoral people.

"Go interrogate that rebel general first!"

Lu Yuanzhi turned around and took a deep look at this cell, which was like purgatory on earth.

"Ah."

The Holy Son also knew that Lu Yuanzhi's thoughts were the clue to unraveling this mess.

It is not too late.

Lu Yuanzhi and Shengzi returned the same way.

Without embarrassing the family members of King Yu too much, they brought Pei Yinlang and others to the lake and rockery.

"Keep this place under strict guard."

Lu Yuanzhi looked at Zhang Shenxing.

Zhang Shenxing looked at the scenery in front of him cautiously, with a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes and asked:
"What's so special about this place?"

Lu Yuanzhi did not answer, but simply said:
"Brother Zhang, this place is related to King Yu's crimes. Remember not to let a fly in."

"clear."

When Zhang Shenxing heard what Lu Yuanzhi said, he immediately stopped asking anything.

Regarding King Yu's matters, a person like him is not qualified to ask.

And even if he knew it, it would most likely cause him some kind of fatal disaster.

Therefore, even Zhang Shenxing would not ask questions that should not be asked.

Lu Yuanzhi left Prince Yu's Mansion with the Holy Son without saying any more nonsense.

But before leaving, Lu Yuanzhi made a conscious effort to leave the shore of the Scripture Space here.

"You are watching in secret. If anything unexpected happens, notify me as soon as possible."

After Lu Yuanzhi gave the explanation, the Holy Son arrived outside the government office in Hangzhou.

Lu Yuanzhi's black brocade and white jade and his face have almost become a pass in the government office.

After seeing him, no one did much to stop him.

"Xiao Lu Fengpei, this way."

After he explained his purpose, a small official led him to the prison.

Without any nonsense, Lu Yuanzhi and Shengzi met the leader of the rebels.

General Zeng was sitting obediently in his cell at this time.

He was wearing handcuffs and shackles, and chains as thick as his arms were wrapped around his body.

"Open."

Lu Yuanzhi ordered the officials around him.

"Yes."

The clerk opened the cell door respectfully.

Lu Yuanzhi took the Holy Son into the cell.

Zenggui watched Lu Yuanzhi come in.

Lu Yuanzhi's black brocade and white jade attire were so eye-catching that he could naturally tell who Lu Yuanzhi belonged to.

"Everyone from Peiyinlang Yamen is here?"

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Zeng Gui's eyes.

He subconsciously ignored the young Taoist standing behind Lu Yuanzhi.

Lu Yuanzhi looked at the man named General Zeng coldly and said:

"Will anyone be interrogating you these days?"

General Zeng raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lu Yuanzhi:
"Interrogating me? Haha, are you talking about the trash in the Hangzhou government office?"

Zeng Gui's provocative eyes made Lu Yuanzhi feel angry in his heart.

However, he took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, moved his body, and exposed the figure of the Holy Son in front of General Zeng.

"Have you seen this person before?"

Lu Yuanzhi looked at Zeng Gui calmly.

The moment Zeng Gui saw the figure of the Holy Son, the pupils in his eyes suddenly shrank.

He has naturally seen the Holy Son before, and the Holy Son's face is so recognizable, how could he forget it?

"I have not seen it."

Zeng Gui looked at Lu Yuanzhi calmly.

His reaction at this time was a little strange than before.

Just now he looked like he was arrogant, but now his expression is starting to look normal.

"Ha ha."

Seeing the expression on Zeng Gui's face, Lu Yuanzhi naturally knew there was something fishy inside.

He looked at Zeng Gui who was firmly chained with interest, found a chair and sat in front of Zeng Gui, and said with a dark smile:

"Do you know that there is a Taoism in this world called: Yinpo."

Lu Yuanzhi's voice was like a scheming old fox, looking at the little yellow chicken playing tricks in front of him, and his voice was filled with rich teasing.

When General Zeng saw the joking expression on Lu Yuanzhi's face, his heart skipped a beat, but on the surface he said coldly:

"I don't understand what you are talking about."

Lu Yuanzhi glanced at the Holy Son lightly.

The Holy Son spoke politely:

"Inducing the soul is a technique mastered by our Taoist Nascent Soul monk. This technique can lead a person's soul out of the body. Then, by using the Taoist mind-observation method, the person's life experience can be presented in mid-air."

The words of the Holy Son were like a thunder that shook the sky.

Zeng Gui looked at the gentle and elegant Holy Son in shock. Of course he had seen this person before him. When he saw him at that time, he still remembered the cowardly look on his face that he did not dare to look at.

Lu Yuanzhi smiled freely:
"How about it?"

"If you want to kill or scratch, it's up to you."

Zeng Gui looked disheveled, with a look of uncertainty in his eyes.

When Lu Yuanzhi heard what he said, his eyes became extremely dangerous. He stared sharply at Zeng Gui's messy dark color. He said lightly:
"You're acting like you don't have any plans to recruit?"

Zeng Gui said calmly:
"I don't know what you want me to do."

"Your dealings with King Yu."

Lu Yuanzhi looked at King Yu coldly.

"I have no contact with King Yu."

Zeng Gui turned his head and did not look at Lu Yuanzhi's aggressive eyes.

"It seems you don't want to say anything."

Lu Yuanzhi chuckled, turned around and asked the Holy Son:
"Will casting this spell have any impact on the person being cast?"

"In mild cases, one's body will be weak and it will affect one's lifespan. In severe cases, one will become stupid and hopeless in this life."

The Holy Son looked at Zeng Gui calmly.

"Oh……"

Lu Yuanzhi nodded: "Okay, let's cast the spell now to see what kind of person he is in this life and whether there is anyone he cares about. If so, then send the people he cares about to accompany him. .”

As he spoke, the smile on his face was eerie, like a vicious villain.

After Zeng Gui heard what Lu Yuanzhi said, his expression changed drastically.

The people he cares about...

Naturally there is.

I thought that by not saying anything, I was worthy of King Yu's kindness, but I didn't expect that Lu Yuanzhi would be so shameless.

"mean!"

Zeng Gui gritted his teeth and looked at Lu Yuanzhi. "Haha, am I despicable?"

Lu Yuanzhi smiled inexplicably after hearing Zeng Gui's words, and then his face suddenly darkened. He looked at Zeng Gui hard, and the coldness in his voice shocked the Holy Son on the side.

At this time, he had unconsciously used the true meaning of extreme cold that he had just realized.

"Do the more than 300 corpses that are still cold feel despicable? Do the more than 300 families who have lost their children feel despicable? Do the Hongyun Taoists who have been searching for the Holy Son for nearly ten years feel despicable?"

Lu Yuanzhi's voice was almost hoarse, and anyone who heard the hatred contained in that voice would shudder.

Lu Yuanzhi's eyes were fixed on Zeng Gui.

"Whether you say it or not, I will arrest anyone involved in this matter!"

"Although King Yu is dead, it does not mean that this matter is over!"

Lu Yuanzhi looked at Zeng Gui, he wanted to see clearly into this man's heart.

"call……"

Zeng Gui was frightened by Lu Yuanzhi's somewhat crazy appearance.

He swallowed, and Lu Yuanzhi's words became the last straw that broke his heart.

yes……

King Yu is dead.

He died under his own eyes.

There was a trace of confusion in Zeng Gui's eyes.

Then who do you show yourself to be so loyal to? ?

What's the point?

And if you don’t tell yourself, then your memory will be seen by others, and your mother...

"Ugh."

Zeng Gui's mind was spinning with thoughts for a long time, and he sighed deeply.

"I'm willing to say it, I just ask that I be treated with dignity after I finish speaking."

His eyes were calm. At this point, there was actually nothing to hide.

And he didn't have a deep understanding of what Lu Yuanzhi said, because for so many years, he had only loyally trained troops for King Yu.

Lu Yuanzhi looked at Zeng Gui calmly and said, "You have to say something useful."

After hearing Lu Yuanzhi's words, Zeng converted:
"I will tell you whatever you ask. I won't lie to you."

"As for whether what I said is useful or not, I don't know."

Lu Yuanzhi looked at him deeply:
"When did you meet the Holy Son?"

Son?

Zeng Gui's eyes were stunned for a moment, but when his eyes fell on Lu Yuanzhi's eyes on the Holy Son, he understood.

"I saw this little Taoist five years ago."

Zeng converted to the indifferent way.

"Five years ago??"

Lu Yuanzhi's eyes raised slightly.

That means that King Yu's plan has even gone far beyond the three years he had guessed before...

Lu Yuanzhi's eyes flickered slightly.

"What happened five years ago..."

"What did you see in that prison? What was the purpose of going to that prison?"

Lu Yuanzhi asked in great detail.

"I started the war five years ago. At that time, King Yu came to a certain person and said that he had an extremely important matter to be handed over to a certain person..."

Zeng Gui told the story bit by bit.

"He said that someone was going to threaten the entire Dayong Empire, so he asked me to build a strong army to prepare for future troubles."

"Location?"

Lu Yuanzhi looked at Zeng Gui calmly and asked.

Although the army that had been converted and trained was not as good as the [-] sergeants brought by Ji Gong, it was not comparable to a refugee army in terms of discipline, marching, and appearance.

"The location is Longtan Mountain in Jianzhou, a hundred miles outside Hangzhou."

There is nothing to hide about this thing.

When Lu Yuanzhi heard this, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

The Tongjiu trading company that I met on the Luo River that day wanted to transport so much saltpeter to this location...

It seemed that that was the backup plan that King Yu had given to the Zeng convert in front of him.

"So Tongjiu Trading Company is also controlled by King Yu?"

Lu Yuanzhi asked.

"Yes."

Zeng Gui nodded and said:

"Some supplies, including weapons, armor, and even firearms, were transported to Longtan Mountain by Tongjiu Merchant's ship."

Lu Yuanzhi's eyes narrowed slightly.

I guessed right.

"When you saw the Holy Son that day, did you know the two people who were guarding the Holy Son?"

Lu Yuanzhi looked at Zeng Gui calmly.

"guard?"

Zeng Gui was stunned for a moment, then he frowned and said:

"There are indeed two people around the Holy Son. Those two people were dressed in black robes. In addition to seeing them in the dungeon of Prince Yu's Mansion, I also met them in the Hangzhou Ghost Market..."

"Ghost city?"

When Lu Yuanzhi heard this, his pupils shrank slightly.

"Is there also King Yu's power in the ghost market?"

He suddenly remembered the way King Yu looked at him after he and Lu Qifeng came back from the ghost market that day...

The so-called careful thinking is like this.

"The people in the ghost market are complicated, and King Yu only left some secret hands in the ghost market."

Zeng Gui said calmly:
"I don't know much about this, but those two people have been following King Yu for a long time. If you can find those two people, I think what you want to know will be much clearer."

Lu Yuanzhi narrowed his eyes.

"How many times have you seen those two people? How should I find those two people?"

"You can go to the ghost market and have a look. The reason why I saw those two people in the ghost market last time was because King Yu asked me to go to the ghost market with an order to call them back to the mansion for discussion."

Zeng Guidao said: "One of them is called Tiantong and the other is called Ditong. I only found out about their names by chance when King Yu called them. As for the specifics, I don't even know what they look like."

"And there are many people in Tongjiu Company who have close contacts with Prince Yu's Mansion. You can check these out."

Zeng Gui told almost everything he knew.

Lu Yuanzhi's eyes narrowed slightly.

Zeng Gui’s words are very apt.

He didn't even think of Tongjiu Trading Company.

"Well, if anyone comes to ask again, you can't say so much to anyone except Ji Gong."

Lu Yuanzhi looked at Zeng Gui calmly.

"Someone knows."

Zeng Gui also looked at Lu Yuanzhi calmly.

"Walk."

Lu Yuanzhi took the Holy Son with him, and the two of them left the government office together.

As soon as the two left the government office, Lu Yuanzhi felt the call signal coming from the contract in the scripture space.

"Not good! There is a situation in Prince Yu's Mansion!"

Lu Yuanzhi's expression changed drastically.

Before he left, he left Bin at the lake where Zhang Shenxing was guarding.

Now there is a signal from Bin, and it is obvious that there is an emergency.

Lu Yuanzhi did not hesitate and took the Holy Son all the way to Prince Yu's Mansion.

……

Without any stop, when Lu Yuanzhi arrived at the lake of Prince Yu's Mansion, he saw the corpses of several people from Pei Yinlang...

As well as the injured Bin and Zhang Shenxing lying on the ground not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

"Grass!!"

Lu Yuanzhi couldn't help but cursed.
