For nearly two days, Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing still had no clues.

At the same time, the Forbidden Army and the Royal Guards were all over the city searching for the whereabouts of His Highness the Crown Prince. The only person who might know the whereabouts of the Crown Prince was enjoying considerate care in the Prison. Fan and Zhao came to the Prison and saw that he was being tortured.

His body was covered with wounds, and he was no longer a human-like archer.

Murong said: "Under eighteen kinds of torture, he did not let go. I haven't seen such a person for a long time."

Fan Xiaodao came to the archer and saw that he was hanging in mid-air, covered in blood, with not a single piece of intact skin and flesh on his body. He had obviously suffered an inhumane crime. He said, "You are not the descendant of Iron Arrow."

The man opened his eyes slightly, with a trace of surprise in his cloudy eyes.

Fan Xiaodao said again, "We have fought against the Descendants of Iron Arrow before. Although your archery skills that day were superb, there was still a gap between them and the Descendants of Iron Arrow. Therefore, we concluded that you used this identity and this story to plan

An assassination of the prince."

"snort!"

The archer snorted coldly, with a hint of disdain.

Zhao Xing asked: "Is it worth it?"

The archer said: "One day, the world will remember my achievements, pass on our deeds, and write a special note in the history books in the future. But you are just a speck of dust under the dust of history, and two lines under the imperial court.

running dog!"

Murong's expression was cold, and he pressed a red-hot iron hard on his chest.

With a scream, the archer fainted.

The smell of burnt meat filled the prison.

Although Fan and Zhao came from a noble family and had been in prison, they rarely participated in the interrogation of prisoners. Seeing the archer being tortured like this, they couldn't help but feel shocked.

Murong said: "Wake him up."

A basin of cold water was poured on the head, and the archer slowly woke up.

"How? Is there anything else you want to explain?"

The archer whispered, "Come closer and I'll tell you."

Murong took two steps forward and came to the archer. He saw the archer spitting phlegm mixed with blood on Murong's face. Murong became angry and swung his whip, and struck him more than ten times in a row. Each time he struck,

Then he picked up a piece of flesh and blood.

The archer laughed loudly, "Fight, the harder you work, the happier I will be, and the angrier you are, the happier I will be. The wounds on my body are a mockery of your incompetence!"

Fan Xiaodao said, "You know, if you commit such a crime, you will just become an abandoned child in the hands of others, and you will not survive. Instead of doing this, why don't you think about your family, wife, and children. If they know, you

If you assassinate the prince, I'm afraid you will be implicated."

The archer laughed loudly, perhaps because of the wound, and his smile was a little distorted, "It's a waste of time on me. Since you want to kill him, I have already made preparations for sacrifice. Now that my goal has been achieved, you are threatening me with your family? I am alone."

I have a whole body that is neither old nor young, so why are you afraid of you? You have made the wrong calculation."

Fan Xiaodao saw that when he mentioned his wife and children, his voice was a little hurried, and he was obviously lying, so he said to Murong, "He has a family."

Murong said, "Judging from the bow and arrow he used to commit the crime, this bow should be the standard longbow of the Shenji Camp. I have sent people to ask people from the Shenji Camp to assist in the investigation. They should be here soon."

Not long after, a guard in golden clothes came to report that this bow was indeed a gift from the Shenwu Army in the Shenji Camp. After the Shenji Camp identified it, they sent a sergeant to identify him. Murong immediately invited the sergeant to come over.

When Cao saw the archer, his expression changed slightly, "Why is it him?"

Murong asked, "Do you know me?"

The military cao said, "Sir, this man's surname is Kuang and his given name is Zhengyi. He was once the chief archer in the Shenji Camp. He was unruly and had an eccentric personality. However, because of his superb archery skills, he stayed in the army. But three years ago, because of

A prostitute had a dispute with her boss and was expelled from the military and expelled from Shenji Camp."

"Have you ever been married?"

"Later, he married a prostitute and lived in the suburbs of Beijing for a generation, but no one knew about it later." The sergeant added, "Later, his boss was shot through the heart in a brothel, and we all suspected it.

He was the one who did it, but without evidence, the matter went unsolved."

Kuang Zhengyi?

Murong immediately ordered to go to Shuntian Mansion to recruit all the people with the surname Kuang.

Jinyiwei was very efficient in his work. About half an hour later, news came that Kuang Zhengyi lived in Shunyi County and had a wife and a daughter at home, and he had brought his wife and daughter to the imperial edict.

Fan Xiaodao saw a woman in her thirties with a young girl. Her face was pale and she was shaking with fear. She didn't know what she had done. He understood what the other party was going to do and he immediately exploded. He said to Murong: "

Women and children are innocent, why implicate them?"

Murong said coldly: "When there is an avalanche, not a single snowflake is innocent."

"You can't use illegal means."

"When we handle matters, we only ask about the results, not the process. As long as we can solve the case and find out the whereabouts of the prince, I have no objection even if the entire Shunyi County is arrested."

Murong waved his hand and ordered someone to escort the two of them into the imperial prison.

"Kuang Zhengyi, look who comes to see you."

Kuang Zhengyi, who was dying, looked up and saw his wife and daughter being arrested. He collapsed, "You... kill me!"

Murong sneered, "If you don't reveal the person behind the scenes, your wife and daughter will also experience the criminal methods used on you before, and let them have a taste of what it means to live worse than death."

"Beasts!" Kuang Zhengyi shouted at the top of his lungs with his eyes red, "You bunch of beasts, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!"

Murong waved his hand, and two guards in royal robes tied the mother and daughter, who were so frightened and crying, in front of him. He picked up the red-hot iron and came to the mother and daughter expressionlessly, revealing a trace of

The strange smile looked particularly dazzling in the dark prison cell.

Kuang Zhengyi yelled, "Beast, beast, I'll fuck you!"

Murong remained unmoved and slowly approached the two of them like a demon.

Although Fan Xiaodao came from a rough background, he also understood the principle of resorting to extraordinary measures in extraordinary circumstances, but he believed that one person should take responsibility for the work, and no disaster would harm the innocent. This incident was done by Kuang Zhengyi. No matter how Jin Yiwei tortured him, he would not

He may have some sympathy, but Kuang Zhengyi's wife and daughter are innocent. If they are allowed to bear the blame, this matter exceeds his bottom line.

He stood up and stopped him: "Master Murong, this is inappropriate!"

Murong stopped, looked back at Fan Xiaodao, and said: "Fan Captou, this is not the first time you have dealt with our Jinyiwei. You know our Jinyiwei's work style. The imperial court entrusted this person to us, not Liumenmen."

, is the affirmation and trust in us, and we will never let down this trust, and we hope that Mr. Fan will not interfere."

"Is there no other way?"

Murong said: "Since there is an effective method, why do we need other methods?"

Fan Xiaodao felt a little angry, "If you use the lives of innocent people in exchange for so-called news, are you still human?"

Murong said coldly, "If the court says we are human beings, we will be human beings. If the court says we are ghosts, we will be ghosts. Mr. Fan, Mr. Xue has praised you in front of us more than once, saying that you are alert and have outstanding abilities.

Da Ren, I am afraid that what you said today will disappoint Mr. Xue."

Fan Xiaodao looked at Murong in shock.

His eyes were full of evil spirits.

Is the person in front of me the same Murong Tiezhu who he called his brother before? Is he still the elder brother Murong who helped him and Liu Men solve their troubles many times? What he did was clearly no different from that of a demon!

Fan Xiaodao stopped in front of the mother and daughter, "These two are citizens of the Ming Dynasty. As the head catchers of the Six Gates, I have the responsibility to protect them."

Seeing how stubborn he was, Murong sighed, "A woman's kindness."

A Jin Yiwei standing next to him mocked, "It's ridiculous for such a person to be a bitch and build a memorial arch at the same time!"

When Murong heard this, he glared at the man angrily. Seeing the commander's anger, the imperial guard quickly fell silent. Murong said, "If you feel unwell, you can go to the teahouse next door to have some snacks. Leave the matters here to me. Where is the prince at this time?

Without knowing it, every moment of delay puts your life in danger."

"The prince's life is his life." Fan Xiaodao pointed at the mother and daughter, "Their lives are not their lives?"

Murong said: "People's lives are different."

Fan Xiaodao has always adhered to the belief that although people have different destinies, they all have equal rights to life. The life of the prince is important, but the lives of ordinary people who abide by the law are equally important.

However, Murong Tiezhu sacrificed the lives of innocent people in order to interrogate the prince's whereabouts, which he could not accept. He argued: "They are all people of the Ming Dynasty, and they are all subjects of the emperor. The palms and backs of their hands are all flesh. What's the difference?"

Murong said: "Although they are both meat, their values ​​are different. Pork belly and refined meat are not the same price." He looked at Fan Xiaodao and saw how stubborn he was, and said, "If Mr. Xue knew about it, I'm afraid he would be disappointed.

"

Fan Xiaodao said, "Although he and I have been friends for many years, it has nothing to do with me whether he is disappointed or not." He stared at Murong Tiezhu without blinking, and said: "Commander Murong, give me one night, if

I can't find the prince's whereabouts, what if you try again?"

When Murong saw Fan Xiaodao's sincere look, he couldn't help but think of the grand ambitions he had set when he first entered the capital, to do something great and to benefit the people of the world. Those heroic aspirations were vaguely like his young self at that time.

Thinking of this, he nodded, "Okay, if there is no news before dawn, I will take action again."

When Kuang Zhengyi heard Fan Xiaodao's words, his eyes were full of gratitude. The corners of his mouth moved slightly, but he swallowed again. When he saw his wife who had been frightened and his daughter who kept crying, he couldn't help but shed tears.

Fan Xiaodao's eyes were firm, "It's a deal!"

A military order was issued, and time was running out, so the two of them left the imperial prison without staying.

Murong Tiezhu watched the two people leave, feeling unable to calm down for a long time. Although these two people were full of passion, they still lacked some means. After all, they were still passionate young people!

Is there anything perfect in this world?

If you want to gain something in your lifetime, you must learn to give up something.

There is something, or call it: conscience.

There is something, or call it: the bottom line.

As a Jinyiwei, we have experienced so many life and death separations. Regardless of conscience or bottom line, in their eyes, it is just a woman's kindness. If you stick too much to this, your life will be ruined here sooner or later.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's life or death is uncertain, and time is running out. How can he show mercy to these people?
