Chapter 722
Chapter 722
The Marquis of Anping, who was publicly accused by his own confidant, had a drastic change of expression and said, "You are slandering me."
"Also, Xu Shan, you are forcing a confession through torture."
Faced with the angry shouts of Marquis Anping, Xu Shan ignored him.
He turned to the bloodied Anping Hou's confidant and said, "Be more specific!"
"I want to know the details. To see if they are consistent with our investigation."
"Lest the Marquis of Anping be wronged."
After hearing this, Anping Hou's confidant, who no longer wanted to suffer, told the whole story in detail.
"Gu Santong, the worshiper of Prince Ning's Mansion, will pay his respects to the Marquis tonight."
"They said they wanted to recapture the patrol camp for the Second Young Master."
"Lord, just provide Deng Ziyue's recent time and route out of the city. Prince Ning's Mansion will make the rest of the arrangements."
"The Marquis didn't agree at the time. But after learning that Lord Xu was trapped in Qixia Palace, he ordered someone to contact Captain Dong."
“After learning about Lord Deng’s route out of the city, the Marquis immediately notified the ancient worshiper of the Ning Palace.”
"And, he promised Prince Ning's Mansion that he would arrange for someone to hold back Lord Deng and his group. He asked Prince Ning's Mansion to make arrangements as soon as possible."
After he finished speaking, Xu Shan pressed the issue, "Were you the one who arranged for those drunkards on Zhengyang Avenue?"
"Yes!"
"What about people?"
"My Lord, I ordered you to kill me and silence me afterwards."
"I, I haven't had time to do anything yet. I just detained them in the courtyard in the north of the city."
'boom.'
Hearing this, Anping Hou's head started buzzing.
Even Li Jinliang, who was in great pain at the moment, had despair written all over his face.
It's over, it's over!
As he muttered this in his heart, Xu Shan suddenly turned his head and glared at Anping Hou and his second son Li Jinliang with sharp eyes.
Although he didn't say a word, his cold face and exposed veins already revealed Xu Shan's inner anger at the moment.
Mr. Xu, who had pulled Wang Qinian over, said word by word, "Is half an hour enough?"
"I want to get conclusive confessions from both of them."
"Please rest assured, sir. One stick of incense, no, a quarter of an hour. If you exceed this time, I will twist my head off."
Hearing this, Xu Shan nodded heavily.
Marquis Anping and Li Jinliang, who were standing by, were completely panicked.
"Xu, Xu Shan, I am a veteran of two dynasties, and I was granted the title of marquis by the late emperor. You, you..."
"Li Jingteng, don't even mention that you're a marquis bestowed by the late emperor. Even if you were a god descended to earth, I'm going to wipe out your entire family this time."
"Your Majesty, if you don't issue an order? I, Xu Shan, will kill you to the bitter end even if I take off this Feiyu suit!"
"Do it."
"Yes."
Just when Wang Qinian was taking the Marquis of Anping and his second son to torture, a Jinyiwei guarding outside hurried in to report.
"Sir, Xing Tongzhi is leading his men towards this side."
Hearing this, Xu Shan, with a sullen face, strode out of the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.
Tonight, Xu Shan made quite a commotion. Furthermore, it happened on Suzaku Avenue, where many powerful people gathered.
It is obvious that someone reported the matter to higher authorities and put pressure on His Majesty.
Behind this, there must have been the instigation of Prince Ning and the instigation of the Donglin Party.
"Uncle Long!"
As soon as he went out, he saw Qinglong's Xu Shan and immediately stepped forward and said.
"Where is the Marquis of Anping?"
"Wang Qinian is questioning inside."
"Is torture taking place?"
"The evidence is irrefutable, with witnesses and evidence present."
"Nonsense, you know..."
This time, before Qinglong could finish his words, Xu Shan interrupted him, making it a rare occurrence: "Uncle Long, everyone has various reasons to persuade me, Xu Shan, to stop, but you are the only one who can't."
"My brother, my elder, is lying in the hospital, his life or death uncertain."
"My subordinates are lying in the morgue, their bodies are still warm!"
"And these people are the team you left for me. You are the foundation that will protect me!"
"If I just muddle through... I, Xu Shan, will be sorry for my brothers who are still breathing; if I die, I will be sorry for my comrades in heaven."
'Uh-huh. '
After saying this, Xu Shan took off his official hat, handed over his sword, and handed it to Qinglong with both hands.
"Help me return these to the Heavenly Master and His Majesty."
"I don't want anything, but I can't let my brothers who follow me shed blood and tears!"
'bass.'
As Xu Shan finished speaking, dozens of Jinyiwei who followed him took off their official hats, removed them, and imitated Xu Shan, handing them forward with both hands.
"I swear to follow Master Xu until death!"
"Please, Mr. Xing, help me!"
These collective resonances continued to spread outward with the main entrance of Anping Marquis Mansion as the center.
The dignitaries on Suzaku Avenue, who had been listening attentively to the situation here, felt a mixture of sadness and joy when they heard these roars.
Fortunately, Xu Shan was stubborn. If he continued to make trouble, His Majesty would convict him just to silence the public.
The sad thing is, once Xu Shan and his subordinates are no longer bound by the shackles of the Feiyu suit, who can test how low his bottom line is?
'Snapped. '
Qinglong raised his right foot and kicked Xu Shan on the left hip. Then, he said coldly, "You little bastard, your wings have grown hard, haven't they?"
'Snapped. '
After another kick, he continued to ask: "You guys are just showing off, aren't you?"
"The one lying there is your soldier, your elder. He is no longer my Qinglong's soldier, my sister?"
"what?"
Hearing this, all the Jinyiwei, including Xu Shan, were stunned.
"Put away your official hat and sword."
"I've not been dismissed or beheaded, so it's not your turn to burn your boats."
"Yes!"
Following Qinglong's order, the Jinyiwei led by Xu Shan put on their official hats and swords again.
"You're making such a big fuss. I know you're trying to make an example of someone else."
"But you know, this has also alerted the enemy."
"Prince Ning will definitely clear himself of all charges."
Qinglong pulled Xu Shan aside and reminded him with a serious expression.
"I'm making such a big fuss, not just to make an example of someone, but also to alert the enemy."
"Hmm? You mean..."
'Pah-ta-ta.'
Just as Xu Shan finished speaking, Wu Jieyu came hurriedly to report.
"Sir, there's news from the Ghost Pavilion."
"Gu Santong, the chief attendant of Prince Ning's palace, disguised himself and quietly left the palace."
"For now, head towards West City."
"Lord Tianxue, who has completed the task you assigned, is watching personally."
"Also, after dinner tonight, the servants of Prince Ning's mansion were collectively poisoned. After the city's medical clinic failed to find an antidote, the mansion's top expert, Gui Hai Yidao, and his subordinates were ordered to leave the city and search the surrounding areas for medicine."
"But according to the information sent by the Sky-Exploding Gang, they left the city at night and have only just begun collecting medicinal herbs in the surrounding area."
"In between, there was a gap of nearly an hour."
