Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

After three drinks and five dishes, Xu Zhendong put down his glass and smiled with a drunken eye.

"Brother Yin, why didn't I see you when I went to Luoyang to attend the inauguration ceremony of the bad commander?"

Fan Xinxin was shocked, and he smiled and waved his hands.

"Don't mention it. When the bad commander took office, I was busy dealing with Fan Xin, so I didn't attend the ceremony."

"Oh, so that's it." Xu Zhendong patted his head in sudden realization and said in a loud voice.

"It is said that the Luoyang stronghold has great power, but it is not that easy to act under Fan Xin's eyes."

Speaking of this, Xu Zhendong seemed to have remembered something: "By the way, brother Yin, your deputy Zhangqiu from Luoyang was not arrested, right?"

Fan Xin took a deep look at Xu Zhendong, who was drunk, and began to analyze quickly.

He remembered that when interrogating Fan Chengcheng, the latter had written a list of members, and there was no deputy envoy named Zhangqiu on it.

So the question arises, what does Xu Zhendong mean by asking?

Test him? Or did Fan Chengcheng tell lies and want to get himself killed?

Seeing Fan Xin not speaking, the smile on Xu Zhendong's face gradually faded a little, and he said meaningfully.

"What? Brother Yin didn't meet Deputy Envoy Zhangqiu when he was raided by the rebels?"

Sensing the anomaly in Xu Zhendong's words, Fan Xin took a deep breath and smiled.

"Brother Xu said he remembered wrongly. None of us Luoyang bad guys are named Zhangqiu. The deputy envoy is a man named Tao Zeng."

After repeated weighing, Fan Xin felt that he should believe in Liuzi's ability. Under his interrogation, Fan Chengcheng would never tell lies.

Of course, after saying these words, Fan Xin's right hand quietly touched the trousers at the back of his waist, just in case of emergency.

Xu Zhendong was startled, and the smile on his face became full again.

"Oh my god, look at the fuss this has caused. I'm so old that I can't drink anymore, and I even remember the wrong person."

"You are right. Zhangqiu is indeed not from your Luoyang stronghold. He is the deputy envoy of Xiangzhou. Come, let's have another drink."

After many trials, Xu Zhendong changed his previous vigilance and became enthusiastic.

While the two were drinking each other, a bad guy opened the door and walked in. He whispered something in Xu Zhendong's ear, which made the latter's eyebrows tremble.

"Okay, I understand." Signing for his subordinates to exit, Xu Zhendong looked at Fan Xin and said.

"Brother Yin, you're almost done drinking. Brother, I'll take you somewhere so you can vent your anger!" After that, he put on his clothes and walked out.

Seeing this, Fan Xin hesitated for a moment and then walked out of the room.

Surrounded by their subordinates, the two went to the laundry room in the backyard of the brothel.

Xu Zhendong took a step forward, found a switch in the pool and turned it.

Then the wall slowly cracked open, revealing a large, dark hole.

"This is where we hold prisoners in Sanyuan Town. Let's go."

Chao Fanxin explained that Xu Zhendong walked into the cave first, followed closely by his subordinates.

Fan Xin and Liu Zi looked at each other and followed.

The space inside the cave is very large. After everyone walked down the steps, the first thing they saw was rows of iron cages and torture racks.

It was filled with unkempt prisoners.

"Brother Xu, who are these people?" For some reason, Fan Xin had a bad feeling when he saw these people.

"I don't know what I know. These people are traitors who support Fan Xin. They would rather die than surrender to the court!"

When Xu Zhendong said the word rebel, endless resentment burst out from his eyes.

"It's a pity, most of them are young people."

Fan Xin shook his head, walked to the torture rack and raised a prisoner's chin with his hand, with a complicated expression.

"Is it worth throwing your life here for a treasonous Fan Xin?"

Hearing this, the prisoner slowly opened his eyes, and a trace of mockery appeared on the corner of his blood-stained mouth.

"How can you court eagles understand Fan Qingtian's good intentions?"

"If he hadn't reduced taxes and distributed land to the people, we would have starved to death."

"Stop talking nonsense and give me a good time. Even if we die, we will support Fan Qingtian!"

Snapped!

Before Fan Xin had time to speak, a whip suddenly passed over him and struck the prisoner in the face.

Xu Zhendong walked up to the prisoner with a livid face and said fiercely.

"Boys, don't forget that you are citizens of the Tang Dynasty. His Majesty Li Longji is your emperor. Didn't Fan just give you some land?"

"This little favor makes it difficult for you to tell who is the Lord of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Say! Fan Xin is a rebellious traitor! I will spare your life!"

The prisoner looked at Xu Zhendong with contempt, suddenly spat in his face and said disdainfully.

"You are a hawk and a dog, and you are worthy of mentioning Fan Qingtian's name? Kill me if you dare!"

"Okay, okay, all of you were born in the Tang Dynasty, but you don't know how to be grateful to Your Majesty, so I will help you!" Xu Zhendong laughed angrily.

The next moment, he walked to the cage, pulled out a pretty female prisoner, and pushed her to the ground.

He tore off the female prisoner's clothes in front of the prisoners and threw them to several subordinates as the woman begged.

"Boy, I know that this girl is your unmarried wife. Do you want to see her struggling?"

When the young prisoner saw his fiancée being pinned to the ground by several delinquents, his eyes turned red and he struggled violently.

Because it was too intense, the chains on the torture rack made a dull shaking sound.

At the same time, angry roars sounded in the dungeon.

"You inhuman beast, I will never let you go even if I'm a ghost!"

"what!"

Looking at the crazy young prisoner, Xu Zhendong laughed loudly and waved his hands to his subordinates, and several bad guys like wolves and tigers pounced on him instantly.

However, just when they were about to humiliate the woman, a faint voice sounded.

"Wait a minute!"

"Huh? Brother Yin, what are you doing?"

Faced with Xu Zhendong's confusion, Fan Xin suppressed the anger in his heart and spoke.

"Forget it, Brother Xu, we are bad people in the Tang Dynasty. Our first task is to get rid of the traitor Fan Xin. We don't have to get angry with these common people."

"Let me do it. I guarantee that they will change their minds within one day and become a weapon against the rebels."

"This..." Xu Zhendong hesitated.

It wasn't that he had any doubts, but that he didn't believe Fan Xin could change the attitude of these die-hards.

"It's only one day, can't Brother Xu wait even this time?"

Seeing Fan Xin's expression of displeasure, Xu Zhendong coughed.

"Since I want to give it a try, I will give you this face."

"But let's talk ugly ahead. If these traitors don't change their attitude tomorrow, then don't blame Brother Wei for going on a killing spree."

"Brother Xu, don't worry, I will make these people a powerful weapon against Fan Xin!" Fan Xin promised, patting his chest.

At this point, Xu Zhendong had nothing more to say. He glared at the young prisoner and led the others out of the dungeon.
