When the man looked at his seven men, Zhou Gang opened his other hand and said: “No need to look at them, it’s all here.” On his other hand, there were seven poison pills in his palm stained with blood.

“It’s not that easy to die even if you wanted to, but to live worst than death, it’s very simple. Just keep your mouth shut and don’t say anything, I will let you taste all the punishment that exists in this world.”

Zhou Gang now knows all kinds of torture instruments. He knew very well which one can break people’s minds. In the past three years, he was able to survive because of his noble righteousness and faith that Prince Jin was not dead.

These people in front of them may not have such courage and loyalty.

Hu Feng said: “I will hand over these people to you first. I’m going to the county government office.”

Zhou Gang nodded: “His royal highness, rest assured. This subordinate will let them all speak, and say everything they know.”

Hu Feng looked at the several men. He was afraid that these people don’t know anything. They looked like people sent by the hidden organization. Such people will not know many details. However, these people may not know, but the person who gave them the task may know it.

Hu Feng whispered a few words in Zhou Gang’s ear, and Zhou Gang nodded again and again: “Your highness is very careful, this subordinate admire you.”

Hu Feng laughed and said: “You fellow, you also now learn how to flatter people?”

Zhou Gang scratched his head and happily said: “I’m not flattering.”

Hu Feng took some people to the county government office, but as expected, the office’s gate was closed, and there was no guard at the door.

Captain Jin stepped forward to shoot the door but didn’t get a response.

“His Royal Highness, what should I do?” Captain Jin asked.

Hu Feng raised an eyebrow slightly, as his eyes gradually turned deep: “Force it open!”

The county government office’s gate was thicker than the ordinary gate. But no matter how thick it was, it couldn’t withstand the repeated attacks of many martial arts masters. When the door was pushed open, everyone went inside.

Captain Jin led a few martial arts masters to guard the front, while Hu Feng walked in the middle. Another group of martial arts masters guarded the back to prevent someone from sneaking out from behind.

The office hall was empty, signs of battle were scattered all over the floor. The arrows and gavel on the table were neatly laid out.

“Search!” Captain Jin ordered.

More than a dozen martial arts masters immediately dispersed. Some went to the back office, some went to the left and right side hall, and others went to the medical room and dissection room.

Not long after, someone came to report that there were people found lying unconscious in the side hall.

Hu Feng and Captain Jin immediately followed, and indeed they found three men lying unconscious in the side hall.

One of them was dressed in the county magistrate’s robe, and the other two were dressed in black clothes. They looked like guards.

Captain Jin took the cold tea from the table and poured it directly on the county magistrate’s face.

When Qian Daren woke up, he felt cold and found the back of his neck pain. His face was wet, and he smelled the scent of tea.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a few figures. The light outside was very strong. He half-squinted his eyes but still couldn’t see the faces of these people.

“Hurry up and help me up.” His memory slowly returned. He remembered that he was knocked out. That A’Si was so bold that he even dared to beat him.

Captain Jin snorted and said: “You better talk on your knees.”

Qian Daren’s heart skipped a beat. This person’s voice was extraordinary, and he didn’t seem to know someone with this voice. He sat up and tried to clarify it. He also saw another person standing in the hall.

The man was wearing a black robe, embroidered with a lifelike dragon in gold thread on his shoulders. He looked handsome and noble. As an official in the court, he naturally knows who were qualified to wear such a noble attire embroidered with a dragon.

*Not hiding anything he knows, not stopping before he has said it through (idiom) – Frank.
