The adopted daughter returns with a new face

The next day, everyone set off to return to the city. In Prince Rong's Mansion in Beijing, Feng Lei and Mo Hen tortured Feng Chenze for almost an entire night, but he refused to point out that the assassination was related to Bei Li.

Looking at Feng Chenze, whose body was covered in blood from being tortured, he felt that he had done his duty as a spy. Fearing that he might bite his tongue to commit suicide, he blocked his mouth and waited for the master to come back to interrogate him. Then he turned around and sealed off the city as ordered by the master.

When everyone returned to the city, the emperor saw that the city was sealed off, but he didn't say anything. However, Bai Chuchao's siblings and Bai Zhiyi were secretly frightened and they didn't dare to show it on their faces.

Feng Xiangyu and Mu Liangfeng were also slightly frightened. After entering the city, Mu Liangfeng deliberately asked his father, "Father, why is the city closed?"

"There are spies in the city. Your uncle has ordered the city to be sealed off." The emperor replied to his youngest son indifferently, and also deliberately reminded Bai Chuchao behind him. It depends on how they play next.

"Southern Emperor, this is Kyoto, isn't it inappropriate to seal off the city?" Damuzhen asked with a smile. He didn't expect that after Ouyang Mingtai and Lan Rufeng were assassinated, Mu Rongchen actually ordered the city to be sealed off. He guessed that it was related to Beili, so as not to wipe out Yuqing's people.

"Prince Damu, Prince Ouyang was assassinated in the Southern Kingdom. This matter concerns the diplomatic relations between the two countries. My father has ordered my uncle to conduct a thorough investigation personally. It is understandable that my uncle has sealed off the city." Muliangcheng meant that there was nothing wrong with sealing off the city, but it was inappropriate not to catch the assassin.

Damuzhen was silent after hearing this. When they arrived at the post station, the emperor ordered: "General Li, General Liang, to prevent the assassin from coming back and harming Prince Ouyang and the other princes, immediately dispatch 500 city defense troops to guard the post station. I'm sorry to let the other princes rest well at the post station."

"Thank you, Emperor Nan. This palace, Prince Bai, and Prince Damu will not cause any trouble for Prince Rong. I hope Prince Rong can catch the assassin as soon as possible and give this palace justice." Ouyang Mingtai decisively accepted the order from Emperor Nan and directly cut off the retreat of Bai Chuchao and Damuzhen.

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you all." The emperor smiled and invited a few people into the post station. He glanced at his brother and led the queen and the prince back to the palace.

Liang Zichu was guarding the post station and asked Li Yunfan to immediately carry out the emperor's order and dispatch troops to garrison there.

The emperor placed all the envoys under house arrest and cut off their contact with the outside world. Feng Xiangyu and Mu Liangfeng were very angry, but they dared not say anything and returned home with hatred in their hearts.

"Prince Rong, I wish you can solve the case soon." Lan Rufeng arrived outside the door, waved to Mu Rongchen with a smile, dismounted, threw the horse to Lan Yi and went into the mansion.

Mu Rongchen and Yang Feng returned home. They went to their room, changed clothes while listening to Feng Lei's report of the results. After changing their clothes, they went to the dungeon.

Feng Chenze was tied to an iron pillar. He opened his eyes and looked up when he heard a sound in a daze. He saw a look of indifference in Mu Rongchen's eyes.

Mu Rongchen looked at a good man who was tortured beyond recognition by Feng Lei and Mo Hen. They used more than a dozen tortures in the dungeon, but they couldn't pry open his mouth. He was filled with admiration.

"Feng Chenze, you must be wondering why I can take you down so accurately, right?" Mu Rongchen asked calmly, motioning Yang Feng to bring a stool and sit in front of Feng Chenze, and let Feng Lei take the cloth out of his mouth.

Feng Chenze's cheeks were sore from the blockage, and he moved his mouth as soon as the cloth was removed. He looked at Mu Rongchen in front of him. He had been hiding in the South for five or six years, and no one knew his identity. He was really curious about how Mu Rongchen knew it.

"Lan Rufeng, have you heard of her?" Mu Rongchen met Feng Chenze's inquiring gaze and told him the answer.

Yang Feng and Feng Lei were shocked and looked at Feng Chenze. Could it be that Lan Rufeng told their master the identity of this guy?

"I don't know this person, and I'm not a Beili spy. I'm just an ordinary citizen. Prince Rong wouldn't want to torture me into confessing, right?" Feng Chenze asked angrily.

"I will never wrongly accuse an ordinary citizen. Yesterday, Prince Ouyang and Young Master Lan were assassinated in Cangshan. Young Master Lan told me your identity. I guess someone has betrayed the master." Mu Rongchen's words made Feng Chenze's heart move.

"What does Prince Rong want to say? What crime do you want to frame me for? I'm just an ordinary lover, forced by life." Feng Chenze refused to admit it, and it was impossible for him to admit it.

"Yang Feng, go and call Young Master Lan. I will let Young Master Feng meet him." Mu Rongchen instructed Yang Feng with a hint of meaning. Yang Feng turned around and walked out of the dungeon.

"Master Feng, do you think that if you don't confess, I won't be able to find out that Beili is a spy hidden in the South? Or do you think that I can't make the decision in Shengjing? Don't expect your master to save you.

This king has sealed off the city this morning. The emperor ordered General Liang and General Li to transfer 500 city defense troops to guard the post station to protect the princes and envoys of various countries. This king also took this opportunity to reorganize Shengjing. "Mu Rongchen's voice did not show any emotion, it was very calm, but it made Feng Chenze sadly shocked.

"The emperor actually placed his master under house arrest? Now, those who are hiding in the South will probably fall into the hands of Mu Rongchen." Feng Chenze was worried, and he remained silent as he looked at Mu Rongchen.

Feng Lei looked at this guy who refused to accept the toast and took out a booklet from his arms, walked up to Feng Chenze, opened it and showed him what was inside.

When Feng Chenze saw the names on the booklet, all of them were subordinates hiding in the South Country, his heart was like a raging storm. He was so frightened that he looked at Mu Rongchen at a loss, realizing that he wanted him to point out that his master had assassinated Ouyang Mingtai.

"Qiulin Mansion" Lan Rufeng came back and lay on the couch, waiting for the maids to cook. Then she heard Yang Feng calling her. She got up and walked out, asking him why he was looking for her.

"Mr. Lan, the prince asked you to go and meet someone." Yang Feng called Lan Rufeng to follow him.

Lan Rufeng nodded to Lan Yi and Lan Meng, followed Yang Feng to the garden and jumped into the palace, all the way to the dungeon in the north ear room of the palace. Once he entered the dungeon, he saw several secret cells inside. When he walked inside, he saw torture instruments hanging on the walls and piled on the tables.

"Prince Rong, do you have a private prison in your palace?" Lan Rufeng asked when he saw Mu Rongchen, his eyes fell on the man who was tied to an iron frame, his navy blue clothes were torn into rags and the original color could hardly be seen, and his body was covered in blood. The man's handsome face was covered in blood.

Feng Chenze saw a man in plain clothes in front of him. He wore half a silver mask on the right side of his face, revealing half of his handsome face as white as jade. He was dressed in plain clothes and looked very elegant. If he didn't know his deeds, he would have thought he was just a weak scholar.

Lan Rufeng walked up to Feng Chenze, looked at his navy blue collar, reached out and lifted his chin, and said with a click of the tongue: "Prince Rong, your people are too cruel, aren't they? Such a handsome young man was beaten to death."

"Mr. Lan, what time is it? Do you still have the leisure to tease others?" Yang Feng accused this lustful guy. She wanted to tease any good-looking man.

"General Yang, I cherish flowers." Lan Rufeng let go of Feng Chenze with a smile, turned around and looked at Mu Rongchen staring at her dark eyes, and asked with a chuckle: "Prince Rong, you tortured this beauty and didn't get any news?"

"I don't need news, I just need confirmation." Mu Rongchen stood up and looked at this lustful woman. Her dirty hands kept reaching out to the man, and he wanted to chop her with a knife.

"Have you confirmed that the assassination of Prince Ouyang was done by Beili? Or have you confirmed that someone from the Southern Kingdom colluded with Beili? Let's do a general cleanup to get rid of the scum." Lan Rufeng smiled wantonly.

Feng Chenze was secretly shocked when he heard Lan Rufeng's words, and suddenly felt a little afraid of the man in front of him who looked like a scholar.
