"What do you think, madam?"

"That person definitely wasn't after money. He spread the news to the Jianghu people, causing so many people to come to seize the treasure. It's obviously not for himself."

"Madam is right. If people don't do such thankless tasks for money, then they do it for revenge," Shangguan Ziqi analyzed.

After he said this, he suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Madam, the only people who have grudges against us are the Canglan people. Although they have surrendered, they definitely hate me or the Great Wei to the core. The people who least want the Great Wei court to find the treasure are definitely the Canglan people."

"Your analysis makes sense, but the news spread so quickly, which means there are still spies from Canglan in the capital. And they must have followed us all the way to Fengrong City."

Shangguan Ziqi also thought of this possibility.

At that time, the Third Prince's palace was in chaos, and they searched the capital again carefully and found some more information.

But it is not certain whether there are any fish that have slipped through the net.

Some are hidden too deeply and are indeed difficult to find.

Now it seems that some people really did escape the search.

"Madam, I know what to do." Shangguan Ziqi suddenly thought of a solution.

The next day, Shangguan Ziqi and his men left Fengrong City.

Come to Jiulong Mountain.

Divide everyone into groups of two and have them all dress up as hunters.

Quietly follow those treasure hunters, especially the prince.

As expected, they discovered that someone was quietly following behind the prince and the others, just like them.

But he followed from a distance and was alone.

Several groups discovered this lone person following the treasure hunters.

There are five in total.

With this discovery.

Shangguan Ziqi did not arrest the people directly, but kept a close eye on their movements.

After tracking for two days, one of them left Jiulong Mountain and returned to Fengrong City.

Shangguan Ziqi personally followed this person with Qingfeng and Mingyue.

The man entered the city and headed northwest, entering a secluded courtyard.

It was daytime at this time, and Shangguan Ziqi did not take any action. Instead, he waited until nightfall and captured all three people in one fell swoop.

The three men's fighting power was not high, and one of them had a disabled leg.

At the same time, he asked Qingfeng to leave the city overnight to tell others to capture the other four.

All seven people were taken to the government office and locked up.

Shangguan Ziqi looked at the man with the crippled leg and knew at a glance that he was the master of these six people.

Because everyone was surrounding him, staring at Shangguan Ziqi and the others with angry eyes.

These people are all from the Great Wei.

"You are all spies of Canglan Kingdom, right?" Shangguan Ziqi asked coldly while standing outside the cell.

But no one answered his question.

Shangguan Ziqi didn't expect them to answer him just by asking this question.

"Qingfeng, drag one out. This prince wants to interrogate him personally." Shangguan Ziqi ordered in a calm voice.

These people's martial arts skills are not very high. If they were really trained by Uncle San, they should be people of the lowest level.

This kind of person is easier to pry open.

Qingfeng and Mingyue opened the prison door and dragged out a person, who happened to be Ye Quan.

They wanted to resist, but their martial arts were no match for Qingfeng's two moves.

He was quickly apprehended and dragged out.

Ye Quan was taken to the torture room.

"Do you want to suffer a lesson or confess yourself?" Shangguan Ziqi used courtesy first and then force.

But Ye Quan kept his mouth tightly shut, looking as if he was willing to be beaten or scratched.

Ever since he was caught, he knew he had no chance of survival.

Anyway, they are all orphans and have nothing to worry about. They can just die if they want to.

Before the old master died, he specially arranged for them to serve the young master, not to get involved in anything, and to live an ordinary life in peace and tranquility.

But since the death of the old master, the young master has never laughed again.

Living in emptiness every day.

Ever since the young master decided to come to Fengrong City, they have been determined to die.

"Punish him." Shangguan Ziqi saw that he was as fearless as a dead pig and didn't say any more nonsense.

Qingfeng and Mingyue tied the man directly to the iron frame and picked up a thorny whip.

Swipe hard.

"Snapped!"

"what!"

A bloodstain appeared immediately.

Ye Quan immediately took several deep breaths to suppress the pain.

But before he could catch his breath, the second whip came.

"what!"

Qingfeng did not whip very frequently, but whipped once every two breaths, and stopped only after the twentieth whip.

Ye Quan was covered in blood, his clothes torn to shreds, his flesh flying, and bones visible in some places, but they were all on his skin and flesh, not causing any harm to his life.

But if it is not treated, it will cause inflammation and fever and can lead to death.

"Does this feel good?" Shangguan Ziqi sat on a chair in front of the rack, watching him become a bloody mess bit by bit.

Ye Quan cried out in pain but said nothing.

"Still not telling?" Shangguan Ziqi gave him another chance.

But Ye Quan just stared at Shangguan Ziqi with his eyes fixed, without saying a word.

"Drag him into the cell and replace him with another one." Shangguan Ziqi ordered casually.

He wanted to see if he could still maintain his original intention after his companions saw him being beaten like this?

When Ye Quan was dragged into the cell, all six of them saw his miserable condition.

The five standing ones were trembling with fear.

Then they looked at their master, waiting for him to say something.

When Qingfeng was about to drag someone else, Ye Yong raised his hand to block Qingfeng's hand.

"Pull me." Ye Yong said calmly.

They all heard Ye Quan's screams just now.

Now he saw someone being beaten half to death. How could he remain indifferent?

I didn't expect Ye Quan to be so stubborn, just because he was the one who saved him when he was almost beaten to death by a group of beggars.

He always remembered this kindness.

Later, he became disabled and took the initiative to tell his godfather that he wanted to come and serve him and planned to take care of him until the moment of his death.

And acknowledge him as Lord.

He is willing to be a servant for the rest of his life.

"Master...?" Ye Quan squeezed out two words with great difficulty after hearing his master's words.

"At this point, we have achieved our goal." Ye Yong's words were very clear.

They have already done what they were going to do, and whether they say it or not, there will be only one result: death.

Then you'll suffer less physical pain.

Qingfeng and Mingyue carried him directly to the torture room.

They didn't even put up an iron frame, but just threw him to the ground. Anyway, his legs and feet were not convenient, so he had no strength to resist.

Shangguan Ziqi was stunned when he saw that it was him. He knew that this person was their leader.

The two looked at each other.

There was indifference and calmness in Ye Yong's eyes, as well as unconcealable hatred.

Shangguan Ziqi looked him up and down.

Less than thirty years old.

But the light revealed in those eyes made him feel that this person had a deep hatred for him.

Shangguan Ziqi couldn't figure it out.

"Would you like to tell me directly or suffer a beating first?" Shangguan Ziqi kindly let him make a choice.

"Prince Rong." Ye Yong stared at Shangguan Ziqi with cold eyes.

"Do you recognize this prince?" Shangguan Ziqi was not surprised. If this person had followed them all the way from the capital, it would not be surprising that he recognized him.

"That's right, your father is my father's murderer." Ye Yong said word by word, and his eyes were filled with endless hatred, but he could not take revenge.

Shangguan Ziqi was confused by this, as his father had killed so many people.

"Who is your father?" Shangguan Ziqi became interested.

"Cang was stabbed to death by Prince Rong in the Golden Palace." Ye Yong did not hide it.

I know there's no point in hiding it.

"Oh, is that the one who dared to pretend to be the emperor?"
