He pleaded in a trembling voice, "I'm telling you the truth. A-mei is pregnant with my child. She and Tang Qizheng have never had any physical contact. After he took the medicine, he started to hallucinate. I told A-mei to find a random woman to fool him!"

Zhan Yan guessed that this would be the result. Old Tang thought he had met the girl he truly loved, but he didn't expect that she had been using him as a stepping stone from beginning to end.

He asked in a deep voice: "Where did you get the medicine?"

Chen Hu whispered, "It was a monk. In fact, the 100,000 taels of silver fell into his hands. I used it to buy ten bottles of Yang Shen Dan!"

Zhan Yan's face suddenly changed. If the monk was not caught in time, who knows how many innocent people would be harmed and controlled by him.

He immediately asked, "Where is the monk hiding?"

Chen Hu uttered three words: "Lengyue Temple!"

Zhan Yan led his men straight to Lengyue Temple, but found no trace of the monk at all.

On the contrary, as soon as he stood in the courtyard, he heard a loud rumbling sound above his head.

Fang Qingshan then shouted, "Retreat quickly! The rocks on the top of the mountain are about to fall down!"

Zhan Yan turned around and ran away. Just as he reached the door, the entire temple collapsed into ruins in an instant.

Fang Qingshan murmured palely, "Luckily we ran fast, otherwise, we would all be smashed into pieces by now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to look at Zhan Yan: "Do you think that monk really exists? Or did that bastard Chen Hu deliberately lure us here to catch us all in one fell swoop?"

Zhan Yan frowned and immediately said, "Go back to the Commander's Mansion!"

When he came to the dungeon again, he no longer saw the three Chen siblings.

The guards outside were filled with astonishment. He hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy. He said in panic, "Lord, please calm down. We really didn't hear any movement!"

Zhan Yan said in a deep voice: "It seems that this dungeon has a mechanism, but I don't know where it leads to!"

Fang Qingshan said, "Tang Qizheng should know this very well, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Yingyi running towards him with a grim expression.

He said anxiously, "My Lord, go and have a look! Commander Tang is probably dying!"

Zhan Yan didn't dare to delay and immediately ran into Tang Qizhen's house.

Tang Mingxuan cried bitterly: "Father, open your eyes and look at me, please don't abandon your son!"

Zhan Yan called out softly, "Old Tang!"

Tang Qizheng actually opened his eyes when he heard the noise. He murmured weakly, "Ah Yan, I just dreamed about us on the battlefield. Although our lives were hanging by a thread, it was a great relief!"

Zhan Yan held his hand and soothed him in a hoarse voice, "Old Tang, no matter before or now, in my eyes, you are always my good brother who has a life-and-death relationship with me!"

Tang Qizheng's originally pale face showed a slight smile: "Brother, Ah Yan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he died with a smile on his face.

"Father!" Tang Mingxuan screamed!

Zhan Yan's eyes turned blood red, and he secretly vowed to catch the Chen brothers and sisters.

He ordered people to prepare for Tang Qizhen's funeral, and then asked Fang Qingshan to surround the entire Suzhou City.

At this time, in a small courtyard not far from the Commander's Mansion, a woman was sneaking into the underground secret room.

She placed a bag of food in front of the frail Chen Hu and said, "Brother Hu, this is all I can do for you. The Commander's Mansion is currently hosting a funeral, and the city gates are heavily guarded. There's no way we can send you away!"

Chen Hu closed his eyes tightly, turned his head to look at Xiao Chen who was lying next to him and said, "It doesn't matter if I live or die, but my sister is very ill. Can we ask a doctor to come back first?"

The woman shook her head helplessly. "There are soldiers questioning all the pharmacies. Doctors are required to report their whereabouts whenever they go out to see patients. Brother Hu, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I really can't do anything else!"

Chen Hu's teeth chattered in anger as he cursed angrily, "Zhan Yan, damn it!"

By this time, Xiao Chen had regained consciousness. She cried out in a hoarse voice, "Brother, I'm almost dying of pain. Why does it hurt so much?"

Chen Hu quickly held her cold fingers and comforted her: "Just bear with it, I'll ask Li Niang to find a doctor for you. As long as he comes, your pain will stop!"

A look of embarrassment flashed across Li Niang's face, but when she met Chen Hu's fierce gaze, she had no choice but to compromise: "Okay, I'll try first!"

Chen Hu said in a deep voice towards her back, "Money talks. As long as you pay a large sum of money, the doctor will help you keep it secret!"

Li Niang did not refute, turned around and left quickly.

After her figure disappeared, Chen Hu took out a water bag from his bag. He stretched out his hand and opened it with difficulty, then put it to Xiao Chen's mouth: "Be good, drink a sip to moisten your throat!"

Little Chen raised her head and drank it. She cried and said, "Brother, I'm sorry. I couldn't protect our child. It's my fault. If I hadn't thought of marrying my brother to the Marquis Zhan Yi's family, we wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable situation!"

Chen Hu said obscurely: "Fool, it's not your fault. Zhan Yan was originally coming for us, there is no way to escape!"

Little Chen asked worriedly, "What should we do now? The three of us are so badly injured, there's nowhere to escape!"

Chen Hu said, "Don't be afraid. The most important thing is to get well first. Once Zhan Yan searches for a while and can't find anyone, he will leave Suzhou City. Then, the three of us brothers and sisters will be able to see the light of day again!"

Xiao Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "I've been looking forward to that day!"

But she was disappointed in the end, because Li Niang did not bring back the doctor, but brought back Fang Qingshan instead.

Chen Hu was so angry that his teeth were bared and his eyes were cracked. He asked angrily, "Bitch, you actually betrayed me?"

Li Niang argued, "I didn't. It was the doctor who didn't dare to take any risks. He threw all the banknotes I gave him on the ground, which aroused the suspicion of the soldiers guarding outside!"

Fang Qingshan said coldly: "You three siblings killed Commander Tang. Your crime is unforgivable!"

Chen Hu was stunned: "You said Tang Qizheng is dead?"

Fang Qingshan frowned and replied, "Yes!"

Chen Huhuo sneered: "That's great, he died before us. It's good to have him accompany us on the road to the underworld!"

Fang Qingshan was too lazy to listen to his nonsense and directly ordered his men to drag them away.

Zhan Yan interrogated Chen Hu: "The monk from the temple has already escaped. What did he look like?"

Chen Hu shook his head: "I don't remember. Every time I saw him, he was wearing a human skin mask. I had no idea what he looked like!"

After a pause, he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Marquis Zhan Yi, you must be careful. Perhaps that bald monk is hiding in the court. He is using the nourishing spirit pill to control the court officials and use them for his own purposes!"
