Except for me, all my enemies have been reborn.

Fang Li sneered: "In this world, only the strong can survive. I just did what I had to do."

Shang Shixu looked at Fang Li deeply. She knew that this man was beyond help.

"Fang Li, I'm actually very curious whether a vicious person like you can withstand severe torture.

Don't worry, I will come here personally and make sure you understand what it means to be in excruciating pain."

The dungeon had thick stone walls and was filled with dampness; the dim oil lamps could barely illuminate the narrow passage.

Here, time seems to have lost its meaning, and darkness and silence constitute the prisoners' lives day after day.

However, that night, the peace was broken. From the depths of the dungeon came the shrill screams of someone unknown.

The voices were filled with pain and despair. Other prisoners heard these voices.

Everyone became panic-stricken and looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion and fear.

"What happened?" an old prisoner asked in a trembling voice.

"Who knows? Maybe it's some unlucky guy being tortured." Another prisoner answered with a tremor in his voice.

As the screams continued, the atmosphere in the entire dungeon became increasingly heavy.

The prisoners clutched their clothes tightly, and some began to pray.

Some tried to cover their ears with their hands to block out the horrible sounds.

In a corner of the dungeon, a young prisoner huddled on the hay.

Tears glistened in his eyes: "I don't want to die here, I still have family..." He muttered to himself, his voice almost drowned out by the wailing around him.

Zhao Liu, who was lying on the ground with a blurred consciousness, also heard the noise. An unspeakable smell came from his cell.

His body was filthy and there was not a single piece of good flesh on it. He pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

But his body could no longer support him, and his consciousness began to fade away again.

"Who is it?" Zhao Liu uttered these two words and fainted again.

The screams continued for a while, then gradually faded away.

All that was left was a heavier silence and panic in the prisoners' hearts.

In this place without light, everyone is worried about their future.

I don’t know when it will be my turn to be the one to hear that terrifying scream.

At this time, the owner of the scream could no longer hold on: "Prime Minister, I know I was wrong. Prime Minister, I will tell you everything..."

Shang Shixu stopped what he was doing and clapped his hands: "Okay, Fang Li, I really like your spirit of being a hero who knows the times, haha."

Fang Li lowered his head helplessly, ignoring Shang Shixu's sarcasm. He was in so much pain that he no longer had the energy to care about anything else.

"Mr. Prime Minister, the murderer behind the scenes is Wang Songneng. He promised me that as long as I help him,

He would definitely give me wealth, power and status, and I was so bewitched that I agreed to his request."

Shang Shixu frowned impatiently. She didn't want to hear Fang Li's confession.

This is simply a waste of time. Fang Li is beyond help.

When such people begin to repent, it is not because they have a change of heart, but because they want to save their lives.

"That's enough Fang Li. I don't want to hear you confess here. Tell me all the power that Wang Songneng has now."

Fang Li shook his head: "Prime Minister, I don't know much, I only know that Wang Song can support many servants.

Some of those servants were not from Qi, they seemed to be from Zhao.

Also, it was he who killed the original Lingnan County Governor, and it was he who forced out the officials who were in charge when the eldest prince was still in Lingnan.

No, rather than forcing him to leave, it would be more accurate to say that he was harming him.

Anyone who disobeyed his orders would be taken away by the two tall commanders of Zhao Guoren, never to return.

Sir, this is all I know, please let me go."

Shang Shixu glanced at him. She would not let Fang Li go.

But his words still need to be examined, so let him live for now.

"I will consider it. You wait here. Axe King, come with me to see Zhao Liu."

Fang Li seemed very excited when he heard Zhao Liu's name, and shouted to Shang Shixu: "Prime Minister, Zhao Liu is a lunatic, don't believe anything he says..."

Shang Shixu looked at him suspiciously. Whether Fang Li's words were true or not, she would have to wait until she asked Zhao Liu in person to find out.

The two men ignored Fang Li who was shouting behind them and got up and left.

Shang Shixu glanced at the Axe King beside him, and he seemed to have acted with Zhao Liu before.

"Axe King, I remember that you and Zhao Liu worked together the night before last. How much do you know about him?"

Axe King shook his head. He really didn’t know Zhao Liu, and didn’t even know him.

"My Lord, I helped Zhao Liu purely for Fang Li's sake.

I only met him once, when I went to steal snow money grass."

Shang Shixu nodded. Axe King’s words were still credible, but she still wanted to go and ask in person.

Zhao Liu fainted in the cell, and Shang Shixu kicked a stone into it.

It hit Zhao Liu right on the head. Zhao Liu woke up in shock and looked up at Shang Shixu with difficulty.

"Mr. Prime Minister, you're back again. I'm not dead yet. Are you surprised? Hahahaha."

Shang Shixu ignored his crazy talk and started to question him directly: "Zhao Liu, Fang Li told me that the mastermind behind this is Wang Songneng, you are finished..."

Zhao Liu suddenly became excited. He struggled to get up, but fell down again.

"No, you can't take me away. Without me, what will happen to my mother? She hasn't evolved yet, not yet!"

Shang Shixu frowned. Evolved, mother? These words,

For some reason, she was reminded of the crazy bandit she had met around Lingnan before, whose mother was burned to death.

"Your mother was tied to the stake and burned to death?"

Zhao Liu became even more excited and struggled to crawl forward.

"No, what nonsense are you talking about? My mother is not dead. That is the holy fire. It will cleanse my mother's sins and let her get rid of the plague and be reborn!"

Shang Shixu frowned, it was indeed a cult that Wang Song could create.

"Zhao Liu, your mother is dead, she will never come back.

Tell me where Wang Songneng's private residence is, and I can bring your mother's ashes to you."

Zhao Liu began to twitch: "Hahahahahahahahaha, you are lying, Fang Li told me, my mother is not dead, my mother is not dead!"

Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of him, Shang Shixu turned around and left. When he passed by Fang Li, Axe King kicked him again.

No wonder I didn’t ask Zhao Liu myself. It turned out that it was him and Wang Songneng who committed this sin again.

The two men left the cell, and Shang Shixu ordered: "Axe King, go check on Liu Jinghong, he is now..."

Axe King nodded. He understood the implication of Shang Shixu's words. Liu Jinghong estimated that Wang Song could be involved in a lot of things.

He was afraid that his friend's name might not be known, and Shang Shixu was asking him to see him for the last time.
