Seeing that Su Yi had exposed his true face, the man sat down on the ground in despair. Meanwhile, the people who were causing trouble in the distance were also caught by the soldiers and knelt in front of Su Yi.

The troublemakers were originally shouting at the officers and soldiers to kill people, but when they saw that the man pretending to be the old man had his mask taken off, they were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats and fell silent.

Mu Jin stepped forward and said to Su Yi, "So they are all in the same group?"

Su Yi nodded: "About 100%."

Seeing that the people kneeling in front of him were still unwilling to speak, Su Yi asked, "Are you still unwilling to tell us what you are planning?"

The group of people causing trouble in front of them were shaking all the time, but no one said a word.

"I will give you a chance. Whoever speaks first will be spared."

"I said, I said!"

After hearing what Su Yi said, the troublemakers in front of him rushed to answer.

One of them pointed at the man disguised as an old man and said, "It was that man. He gave each of us one tael of silver and told us to wait in the resettlement shed until we had the chance to cause trouble. He also promised to give us another 100 taels after the trouble was done. Life is hard now. There is a plague in all the counties and cities. Prices are skyrocketing. We can't survive. We thought that even if we die, we can leave some money for our families, so we took this damn job. Please, King Yi, let us go."

"Very good! However, I can escape the death penalty, but I cannot escape the punishment of life. If I let you go, General Mu and the imperial court will not forgive me."

After Su Yi finished speaking, he had the troublemakers dragged away for interrogation.

At this moment, the people who had just joined the commotion couldn't help but be glad that they didn't continue to make trouble, otherwise they would have lost their lives.

Thinking of this, they felt guilty for not trusting Princess Yun who had been so devoted to them, and they all knelt on the ground to apologize to Mu Jin.

Mu Jin said: "You have all been deceived by the villain. I don't blame you. Get up and go yourselves."

Seeing that the onlookers had dispersed, Su Yi walked up to Mu Jin and said with a smile, "Ah Jin, praise me quickly for exposing their plot so quickly. I will give you a lifetime of wisdom."

Mu Jin sneered and asked, "So, now you know which faction the person disguised as the old man belongs to?"

"We don't know now, but we will wait a while. After Jin and I torture that person, we will definitely find out which ghost or god is causing trouble here."

Mu Jin glanced at Su Yi and snorted coldly: "Why don't you lead the way?"

Su Yi said a little aggrieved and mean: "Ajin, can't you be gentler? No wonder Third Brother didn't love you before, but loved that delicate cousin."

"Oh? If you like her so much, then I'll ask your third brother to send that delicate cousin to you?"

"No, no, no, this king doesn't like that."

The two of them talked back and forth, and soon arrived at the tent where the leader of the riot was imprisoned.

Su Yi and Mu Jin sat on the chairs that the soldiers brought for them. Eleven stood next to Mu Jin. The three of them looked at the man who was tied to the torture instrument and was beaten half to death.

Seeing that the man still refused to speak, Su Yi said with a smile: "You are so loyal, does your master know? How about this, if you still refuse to speak, I will give you a quick death."

Su Yi just smiled evilly.

"Come here! Take the scissors and cut off all the protruding parts of this man. Then take the knife and start from the scalp and slice it out bit by bit to make a lantern. Chop the rest with a knife and feed it to the dogs."

After hearing what Su Yi said, the man was so scared that he peed on the spot. Mu Jin looked at the man peeing all over the floor and couldn't help but frowned with a look of disgust.

Su Yi glanced at Mu Jin and said with a smile: "It's dirty here, why don't you go out for a while, Jin?"

"Only a pervert like you can come up with such a disgusting punishment." Mu Jin rolled his eyes at Su Yi and said unhappily.

Su Yi touched his nose and said to Mu Jin shamelessly: "I'll just think of it as Jin praising me."

"I say! I just beg you not to kill me~"

Hearing that the man was finally willing to speak, the two of them couldn't help but smile at each other, and turned to look at the person tied to the torture device.

"I am Gong Wu, a member of the Nangong Divine Sect. I was ordered by the Palace Master to come here to frame Princess Yun."

Hearing that it was someone from Nangong Divine Sect, Eleven's heart couldn't help but tremble, as if he was being caught by someone. He clenched his fists and stared at the man.

"Princess Yun has no grudge against Nangong Ce, why would he want to harm her?"

The tied-up Gong Wu had been beaten so badly that he couldn't raise his head. He didn't know who was asking him the question, but he could sense that the person asking him the question was harboring hidden anger.

Gong Wu said, "Before, the imperial court came to our Nangong Divine Sect to ask the sect master for the miraculous medicine to cure the epidemic. The imperial court had originally agreed to buy our medicine for one million. Later, after waiting for a few days, no one from the imperial court came to trade with us with silver. The sect master sent a pigeon to me, asking me to find out what was going on in the capital. Later, I learned that it was Princess Yun who revealed the imperial decree, and the treatment of the epidemic was still effective. The sect master thought that if Princess Yun was not eliminated, no one would come to Nangong Divine Sect to buy medicine in the future, so the sect master ordered me to bring some people here to cause trouble."

When Eleven heard that Nangong Ce had done such a cruel thing for money, he couldn't help but clench his fists.

He slowly walked to Gong Wu, pinched Gong Wu's chin, and slowly lifted it up.

"Let me ask you one more question. After Nangong Ce ascended the throne, has he treated the old lady well?"

Gong Wu suddenly heard Eleven asking the old lady and couldn't help but feel puzzled, but he couldn't help but think too much. He gasped heavily, swallowed and replied.

"Ever since the old lady helped the patriarch ascend to the throne, she has not cared about worldly affairs and has stayed in her house all day long."

“Nangong Ce is not of Nangong bloodline, so how can he convince other elders to support Nangong Ce to become the leader of Nangong Divine Sect?” Eleven asked with gritted teeth.

"The young master is missing, and the sect has been searching for him for several years without success. The old lady was the former two leaders of the Nangong Divine Sect. She said that our leader is the adopted son of the old leader, and can be considered as a successor, so the other elders cannot say anything." Gong Wu said with difficulty.

"Nangong Ce has violated the principle set by successive leaders of the Nangong Divine Sect that one should not use the sect's elixirs to make money. Now he is doing such a despicable thing. Don't the old lady and the other elders care?" Eleven roared at Gong Wu angrily.

Gong Wu was frightened by Eleven's roar, "I don't know about this, but after the Sect Master takes the throne, people can interact with Nangong Divine Sect and earn money to improve their lives. I think it's a good thing. The old lady and the elder shouldn't say anything."

Nagong Wu stuttered as he answered Eleven.

Eleven's hand dropped from pinching the man's chin to the man's throat. Gong Wu seemed to have foreseen what he would experience next, and said in horror: "I~I have told you everything I know, please spare my life."

Eleven slowly tightened his grip, "As a member of the Nangong Divine Sect, you did not take saving the people as your mission, but instead watched them die and harmed the people. I, the young master, have put an end to you on behalf of the previous Nangong Divine Sect masters. You should feel lucky."

The man was being strangled by Eleven, and slowly lost his breath. However, when he heard Eleven's words, he couldn't help but show a look of astonishment, and squeezed out four words from his throat: "Who are you?"

"Nangong Min!" After Eleven finished speaking, he cut off the voice of Gong Wu, whose eyes were wide open and looked shocked.
