The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation
Chapter 60 Pretending to be stupid
Relying on the body left on the street yesterday as a clue, Ling Ziyan quickly found out the identity of the assassin.
In just one day, all the assassins were successfully captured, including those who had escaped and were hiding in the city.
It turned out that these assassins came from Qingfeng Temple outside the western suburbs. As for the reason for their assassination, it seemed that it was because Yi Tian, as the Lord of the Divine Realm, imposed heavy taxes on the people, causing them to suffer.
However, according to an in-depth investigation by the Censorate, they assassinated Yi Fan and Ling Ziyan simply because they were dissatisfied with Yi Tian.
(The Duchasi is an intelligence agency under Yi Tian, responsible for reconnaissance, arrest and interrogation, and has the power to arrest anyone and conduct secret interrogations.)
Yi Tian once expelled the people of Qingfeng Temple from Xuanhuang City in the name of misleading the people, and demolished the entire Taoist temple, forcing them to move to the western suburbs.
The Censorate acted swiftly and decisively. On the morning of the second day after the assassination, they split into two groups, one heading to Qingfeng Temple and the other heading to the inn.
Duan Tianyang was still asleep when he heard the door being kicked open.
Three burly men suddenly broke into Duan Tianyang's room, waking him up from his sleep.
One of the tall and muscular men glanced at him, then took out a portrait from his arms, unfolded it and carefully compared it with Duan Tianyang.
After confirming that it was correct, he nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, it's you!"
"Alas! What is coming cannot be avoided." Duan Tianyang sighed and sat up from the bed.
There is no doubt that these people must be from the City Lord's Mansion, and his portrait should have been provided to them by Ling Ziyan.
Xiao Fang and others in the next room were attracted by the sudden noise. They ran over in a hurry, staring at the three big men with angry looks on their faces, asking Duan Tianyang what happened.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. The burly man said in a cold voice, "We are from the Censorate and are performing official duties. People who are not involved please stay away. Our princess invites this young man to the City Lord's Mansion for a chat."
Duan Tianyang had just given Xiao Fang a task last night, which was to investigate the internal situation of the City Lord's Mansion. He hadn't had time to investigate yet, and today they came to him. Who exactly is this princess named Ling Ziyan?
Xiao Fang turned to Duan Tianyang with a confused look on his face, "Brother Nan, this..."
Long before the people from the Censorate came in, Duan Tianyang had weighed the pros and cons. Even if he ran away now, with the power of the City Lord's Mansion throughout the Divine Realm, they could catch him even if he ran to the ends of the earth.
What's more, he doesn't want to leave Xuanhuang City. He wants to make a name for himself here.
Alas! Ling Ziyan, this tigress, is really difficult to deal with! At this point, we can only proceed according to the original plan.
Duan Tianyang put on his coat and said to Xiao Fang and the others, "You guys continue to do what I said last night. I'll be back soon."
He followed the three people out of the inn. Strangely, they did not take him to the city lord's mansion, but led him to a dark, damp, and gloomy dungeon.
The moment I stepped into the dungeon, a cold air blew towards me, so cold that it felt like a knife cutting me to the bone.
What followed was an unbearable stench that filled the air and suffocated people.
For ordinary people, just stepping into such an environment is enough to make them terrified, so how can they withstand any interrogation or punishment?
Duan Tianyang was no exception. He frowned, obviously frightened by the eerie and terrifying atmosphere.
This damn vicious woman, is she trying to torture me to extract a confession?
The three men led him to a torture chamber deep in the dungeon. Although the torture chamber was not large, it had a strict layout and gave people a sense of oppression.
In the center, a huge cross stood, obviously designed for restraining people.
The walls on all four sides were covered with various torture instruments of different sizes. They were so bizarre in shape that it was dizzying to look at. They were something that one had never heard of or seen before, and were enough to make one tremble with fear.
On the left side of the cross, a huge furnace was burning fiercely. Several branding irons, long and short, were inserted into the fire, emitting scorching heat waves.
In the corner of the torture chamber, a bloodstained wooden table lay quietly, with a few old books and some unidentified objects scattered on the table.
Behind the table sat a woman who frightened him even more. She was extremely beautiful and had a cold temperament, as if she was above everyone else. Who else could this be but Ling Ziyan?
Duan Tianyang looked at her in panic and said, "Why did you ask someone to bring me here? Are you planning to torture me?"
Ling Ziyan stood up and walked to his side, staring at his face with a strange smile.
Seeing that she remained silent, Duan Tianyang hurriedly said, "Hey, I am your savior after all, what are you doing?"
"What's your name?" Ling Ziyan asked while casually looking through the torture instruments on the wall.
Duan Tianyang had thought of a countermeasure last night. He took a deep breath and said in a steady tone: "My name is Chen Haonan."
"Really?" Ling Ziyan's eyes flashed with doubt, but her tone was still warning, "Don't lie to me, otherwise the consequences will be serious!"
After saying that, she casually picked up a torture instrument hanging on the wall. The shape and smell of it made Duan Tianyang feel terrified. Even on TV, he had never seen such a horrible torture instrument.
Duan Tianyang moved towards the door lightly, and said confidently: "Of course it's true! If you don't believe it, you can go and ask my friends for confirmation."
Ling Ziyan held the torture instrument in her hand and walked to Duan Tianyang, her eyes as sharp as a knife. She gently waved the torture instrument in her hand, as if drawing something in the air, and then said coldly: "Your voice, your smell, always make me feel that you are very much like a heartless person I once met." After a pause, her tone became deeper, "Also, why did you become interested in the crescent pendant last night?"
As soon as Duan Tianyang moved to the door, he was blocked firmly by the three big men.
Duan Tianyang was startled, a trace of panic flashed across his face, and a little sweat seeped out of his forehead.
He forced himself to remain calm and tried to explain: "What ungrateful person? I don't understand what you are talking about. I only bought the pendant because I thought it was unique and pleasing to the eye."
This vicious woman seemed to have really recognized him, but at this point, she could only continue to play dumb.
If he admitted that he was Duan Tianyang, he would be dead.
"If I find out that you are the unfaithful person, humph!" Ling Ziyan smiled and pointed at the wall and said, "Do you see the fishing net and knife hanging on the wall? I will let them wrap the fishing net tightly around you, and then use those knives to slice off your flesh piece by piece and feed it to the dogs."
It was hard to imagine that she said such vicious words with a smile.
According to the original owner's memory, he thought Ling Ziyan was just a brutal and ruthless woman, but now it seems that she is simply a crazy woman.
If I had known this, I would not have saved her last night and would have just let her die.
