Several people went out separately and soon met in a deserted cave outside the town.

"It's you, what do you want to do?" As soon as he poured it out of the sack, Sun Long saw Tang Wen and asked fiercely after being startled.

"You should know what I want to do. Let's discuss it easily. Who instigated you to let Ding Kui send people to cooperate with Liang Zizhai to hijack official grain?" Tang Wen asked.

"I don't understand what you are talking about? Let me go immediately. Otherwise, if Yimu Palace finds out, your entire Tang family will be killed!" Sun Long roared ferociously.

Bah!

Wen Jinyuan fired his bow from left to right and slapped him twice.

"You dare to hit me, you bastard!" Sun Long just cursed, bah bah...

A series of slaps came, causing his nose to be bruised and his face to be swollen, and he vomited blood, turning into a pig's head in an instant.

"Tell me, who ordered you?" Zhuang Qiyang asked.

"If you have the guts, kill him. When the time comes, we will all die together." Sun Long rolled his eyes, as if a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

"Boy, do you want to try our six-door torture equipment?" Zhuang Qiyang sneered, took out a thin bamboo slice, and inserted it into Sun Long's nails.

"ah……"

"You bastard, pull it out quickly!"

"This is the first one, there will be a second one, a third one..." Zhuang Qiyang smiled sinisterly and took out a few more thin bamboo slices.

Sun Long was speechless. When he was hesitating, Zhuang Qiyang inserted the second piece of bamboo.

Sun Long howled like a pig, and when he reached the fifth piece, tears and runny nose came out.

"I said, I said, stop interfering."

"Who? Actually, even if you don't tell me, you know that he is the Supreme Elder Zeng Wudao." Tang Wen asked.

"How did you know?" Sun Long was surprised and asked.

"How dare you! When Sir Alex asked you, you asked me if you would continue to eat bamboo slices now that Sir Alex is here?" Wen Jinyuan yelled loudly.

"Yes, it was Zeng Wudao who ordered it." Sun Long was frightened and babbled, and nodded quickly.

"Did he reveal who was dealing with him?" Shen Gongyang asked.

"I don't know, just ask him." Sun Long said dejectedly.

"It seems that you are not honest yet." Tang Wen snorted lightly.

"I really don't know anything. I'm just an outer palace elder. I'm just better than ordinary elders. Zeng Wudao is the Supreme Elder. How could he tell me?" Sun Long was so frightened that he shouted quickly.

"Zeng Wudao is your father!" Tang Wen suddenly shouted.

"How do you know?" Sun Long blurted out in shock.

"It seems that you are still dishonest and didn't even recruit your father." Zhuang Qiyang took out the second torture instrument and said with a smile, "This is called a rolling pin, but it is made of black steel.

When the time comes, start rolling the dough from your upper body down, and by the time, all your feces and urine will be rolled out.

Haha, your body has become extremely thin, the pain, haha, is a hundred times more painful than nail piercing, do you want to try it?"

"I am Zeng Wudao's illegitimate son. I follow my mother's nature. My mother's name is Sun Sanniang." Sun Long replied.

"Isn't Sun Sanniang the wife of the former head of the family?" Shen Gongyang was stunned.

"It is true that the former head 'Wu Duyun' discovered my mother's affair with Zeng Wudao and was killed soon after.

As soon as Wu Duyun died, Zeng Wudao recommended Wu Duyun's eldest disciple Mei Zhenhong to the position.

He thought that she was just a female prostitute who couldn't make much trouble. He also didn't expect that Mei Zhenhong had been hiding her skills. She was actually a strong person, and even Zeng Wudao was no match for her.

Moreover, Mei Zhenhong made some reforms to the sect after taking the position of leader.

Zeng Wudao couldn't stand it and wanted to overthrow her and make her step down.

Zeng Wudao wanted to push me to the top, but Mei Zhenhong was too powerful.

In order to protect me, Zeng Wudao did not let me enter the inner palace for the time being.

Therefore, Zeng Wudao joined forces with Linghai Academy and wanted to use the power of Linghai Academy to overthrow Mei Zhenhong." Sun Long said.

"Linghai Academy is even weaker. They don't even have strong people in the Nian Realm. How can they help Zeng Wudao deal with Mei Zhenhong?" Tang Wen asked.

"You guys underestimate Linghai Academy too much. Linghai Academy actually has the most terrifying upper chamber." Sun Long said.

"Isn't the upper house divided into inner and outer houses?" Zhuang Qiyang was shocked.

“The inner court is more powerful than the outer court, but the upper court is the real trump card of Linghai Academy.

It is said that there is a strong person in the Tong Nian realm in the upper court, and his strength is not inferior to that of Mei Zhenhong.

There are two strong men in the Tong Nian Realm in the Upper Court, called the Two Elders of the Upper Court. They have more than a dozen disciples, and there are hundreds of them if they include their disciples and grandchildren.

All of these masters, even the disciples of those two old guys, many have entered the Juyuan Realm, and some are even half-step powerhouses in the Tong Nian Realm.

Otherwise, Zeng Wudao would not have chosen to cooperate with Linghai Academy.

Zeng Wudao accidentally confided this to me once when he was drunk, otherwise, I wouldn't know about it," Sun Long said.

"So what does Linghai Academy like about Yimu Palace?" Tang Wen asked.

"Of course, I am interested in the strength of Yimu Palace. Yimu Palace is at the bottom among the ten sea saint sects, while the strength of Linghai Academy is at most the same as Yimu Palace.

Both major forces want to dominate the Sea Saint range, but neither can do it with the strength of one side alone.

That's why they chose to cooperate. When the time comes, once a strong person in the Concentration Realm appears between the two major forces, they can take the lead and dominate.

Their target is of course the top three sects of Sea Saint, especially the Feitian Sect.

Because Tian Botong of Feitian Sect has grudges with the two major forces.

The two major forces both had treasures that were used to control the clan, but Tian Botong won them away, and they were not convinced. So, they colluded." Sun Long said.

"I didn't expect it to be so complicated, and it actually involves the Feitian Sect. It's really surprising." After coming out, Shen Gongyang shook his head and sighed.

"This shows that when you interrogated Lin Zhi and the four elders of Linghai, they still haven't told the truth.

Linghai Academy has an upper courtyard. If Gao Qiu, the dean of the outer courtyard, doesn't know about it, it's normal, but the five of them should know about it.

But you didn't come out on trial. If Sun Long hadn't come out, you would have been deceived." Tang Wen said.

"Five old dogs, I will make them look good. Tomorrow we will go to Yimu Palace and see what this old dog Zeng Wudao says?" Shen Gongyang blushed and cursed angrily.

"You can send a message over there and ask them to continue the interrogation. When the time comes, let's see how the five old dogs can hide it." Zhuang Qiyang suggested.

"Do you still need to point your fingers at the trial?" Shen Gongyang said angrily. Zhuang Qiyang blushed with anger, but he couldn't get angry.

"Zhuang Qiyang is my disciple. As a veteran of the Six Sects, of course he also has some trial experience. If he cooperates with the trial, there may be new gains." Tang Wendao.

"I didn't say six doors wouldn't work, but I just can't stand how they behave, as if I'm the best in the world.

How about the six doors? On the surface, they appear to be the imperial court protecting the country, but in reality, they are just the periphery of the imperial court.

Like secret agents, the two major houses of Longwei and Longwei are above them. It's just that one is in charge of outsiders and the other is in charge of internal affairs." Shen Gongyang said with some dissatisfaction.

"Master, we have too few people to return, and I'm afraid it won't be possible to scare Yimu Palace.

Although we have super masters here, it would still be troublesome if a hundred people beat you one by one.

Moreover, sometimes, the presence of many people creates aura, and the aura alone can suppress people." Afterwards, Wen Jinyuan said.

"I have already thought about this. Come with me to Dusi Yamen." Tang Wen nodded.

"Master, do you want to find Qiao Yi?" Wen Jinyuan asked.

"In this Honghe Prefecture, looking for Zhao Duan is not as useful as looking for Qiao Yi. Although Zhao Duan is the prefect, he has no soldiers, and some government officials and spies are useless." Tang Wendao.

"That's natural." With that said, the two of them went straight to Dusi Yamen.

Seeing Tang Wen coming, Qiao Yi enthusiastically went to the door and welcomed Tang Wen into the living room.

"Sir, it's been a long time. I haven't seen you for a long time. And the Baiyefang you bought hasn't seen any movement yet. Could it be that you gave up?

The last time I met Mr. Zhao, he also talked about this matter.

He said that he would come to Linghai to visit you and ask about this matter when he has the opportunity." Qiao Yi asked with a smile.

"I've been busy fighting with the thieves of the Kingdom of the Sun recently, so I don't have time to worry about this at the moment." Tang Wen responded.

"Fight?" Qiao Yi was stunned and looked at Tang Wen, quite confused.

"Don't you know, Mr. Qiao, that your lordship led the Tang family's servants to fight hard against the enemies of the Kingdom of the Sun, killing more than 80,000 enemy soldiers?

He was so highly regarded by the Lord of the Sea, Chu Guang, that even the royal fishery, Peacock Island, was awarded to him.

Now, Sir Alex has been appointed as the deputy commander before the Holy War of the Sea, commanding the soldiers of Linghai and Youhai provinces to jointly fight against the enemy." Wen Jinyuan said with a smile.

"Congratulations, Sir, on your promotion!" Qiao Yi quickly stood up and held his hands in congratulations.

"I came down this time to ask Mr. Qiao for a favor," Tang Wen said.

"Sir, if you have any questions, just tell me." Qiao Yi said.

"According to the investigation, Linghai Academy collaborated with the enemy and treason... I will go to Yimu Palace tomorrow morning. Because I left in a hurry, I didn't bring many people with me. Therefore, I have to lend you a hand." Tang Wen said.

"Your Majesty has the Hufu troop deployment order, but he can only mobilize troops from Linghai and Youhai provinces. My place does not fall into the scope of these two provinces.
To be continued...
