Chapter 1219

"Old Daoist, do you want to go to the Heavenly Prison with me and interrogate Old Man Xia?"

Chen Guanlou was willing to do anything to satisfy his curiosity. It was just like solving a puzzle while reading a suspense novel. It would be one thing if he didn't know an evil object was buried under the Xia house, but since he knew, he couldn't give up halfway and leave himself hanging in mid-air.

He had to find out the truth. In this, he might need the old Daoist's help. The old Daoist understood Feng Shui, and the person who made the evil object couldn't be simple either.

Pure Yang Zhenren didn't have such great curiosity. "You want to investigate the case?"

He disliked the environment of the Heavenly Prison and didn't really want to go.

"I'm not investigating the case, I'm just satisfying my curiosity. Aren't you curious?"

"What's there to be curious about? It's nothing more than the Xia family provoking trouble outside and being retaliated against. With this family's style, it was only a matter of time. It's just unfortunate that it implicated the neighboring Ji family. This kind of thing, this Daoist saw plenty of when I was in my hometown."

Poor mountains and evil waters produce unruly people.

This saying is a classic!

Pure Yang Zhenren's sect had long been holed up in the big mountains. That place had limited resources and inconvenient transportation.

To survive, clans fought clans, and people of the same surname fought each other. Further into the mountains, there were even poorer ones who couldn't even marry a wife, so they went outside to cheat and swindle, doing whatever it took to get a woman home.

He had seen too many bloody incidents, seen too much evil, and witnessed the destruction brought by hatred! The viciousness of human nature was manifested vividly in the mountains!

Moreover, in the mountains, many families had blood feuds; hatred spanning generations and countless lives simply couldn't be resolved.

Extermination is nothing!

There were even exterminations of entire clans! Overnight, hundreds of people dying wasn't considered strange.

As long as they could exterminate their blood feud, they would stop at nothing. Using evil objects to harm people was considered basic operation! There was nothing to see at all!

"Just consider it accompanying me on a trip! In the way of Feng Shui, besides you, no one around me understands it. Anyway, we're already out, and I promised to take you for a night of revelry; are you willing to leave now?"

Chen Guanlou tempted him step by step.

Pure Yang Zhenren was finally tempted by the prospect of going out for revelry at night and agreed to take a trip to the Heavenly Prison. It wasn't appropriate for him to go to brothels and pleasure boats with others; after all, he still had to maintain the image of a high-level Daoist in front of people. Going out for revelry with his disciples was even more absurd.

Persona, persona! Must maintain it!

Only when with Chen Guanlou could he be without scruples, unbridled, fully displaying the skills of his youth and proving that his blade was not yet old. Thinking that the last time he went for revelry was the last time, he couldn't miss this opportunity for anything.

The two returned to the Heavenly Prison and headed straight for the C-grade prison.

Chen Guanlou ordered the prison guard, "Bring Old Man Xia to the interrogation room; I have something to ask him."

The prison guard heard this, and although he had doubts, his movements were very nimble. Like dragging a dead dog, he dragged Old Man Xia to the interrogation room.

Old Man Xia learned he was going to the interrogation room and was so scared he almost became incontinent, his whole body turning as soft as noodles. When he was first locked up, he had gone to the interrogation room and witnessed its terrifying bloodiness.

Now going again... the fear in his heart had drowned his whole being, scaring him half to death.

Chen Guanlou didn't like the interrogation room and rarely stepped foot in it. Occasionally coming once, he would just take a look and leave.

This time, he didn't leave.

He ordered the executioner in the interrogation room, "Start with one for him, step by step."

"My lord, watch closely."

The executioner was very excited, taking the opportunity to perform in front of the Warden.

Hanging Old Man Xia on the wall, only his toes could touch the ground a little, relieving the pain in his arms and body.

The whip with barbs was dipped in salt water and directly greeted his body, whistling with power!

Just hearing the sound made one feel the pain.

Pure Yang Zhenren had seen enough of human evil, but he wasn't used to seeing execution scenes and really wanted to leave.

Chen Guanlou pulled him. "Since you're already here, why are you leaving?"

Pure Yang Zhenren stared at him and questioned, "Must it be like this?"

"Doing it this way makes it convenient to ask questions. You also don't want to waste time listening to his nonsense and delay our revelry tonight, right?"

Pure Yang Zhenren frowned. "I think that's enough. If you beat him to death, it will be very troublesome. Your curiosity won't be satisfied either."

"Rest assured! The people in the interrogation room have a sense of proportion; if they can't even handle this little thing, they don't need to serve in the Heavenly Prison."

"Hurry up!" Pure Yang Zhenren still urged.

"Fine, fine, fine!" Chen Guanlou agreed and said to the executioner in the interrogation room, "All get out! This official will ask the questions personally."

"My lord, please!"

The executioners were all very sensible and had professional ethics; they would never be gossipy, and no one would go to eavesdrop. They just wanted to make money and enjoy the pleasure of abusing prisoners; they didn't want to lose their heads.

Chen Guanlou sat on a chair like a general; the chairs were all temporarily prepared.

"Old Man Xia, do you know why I'm dealing with you?"

Old Man Xia was hanging, half-dead. Before, it was from being scared; now, it was truly half-dead.

"My lord, please speak clearly!" Old Man Xia was a man who knew the times; at this moment, he abandoned all anger and hatred, and even his eyes changed from the viciousness of human nature to flattery. If he had a bit of beauty, and if he were a woman, he would be throwing flirtatious glances at Lord Chen!

"What did you do ten years ago? Confess properly!"

According to the old Daoist's calculation, the evil object was less than ten years old, so the incident should have happened then.

As the saying goes, take revenge while it's hot!

"Ten years ago?" Old Man Xia was a bit dazed, and after being dazed, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he lowered his head to act weak.

"My lord, can you be more specific?"

Chen Guanlou sneered; sure enough, there was something fishy. He hadn't missed the momentary dodge in Old Man Xia's eyes. This was a guilty conscience! Sure enough, some bad things happened ten years ago, and he didn't know if human lives were involved.

"Old Man Xia, you still dare to play tricks on this official! Are you looking for death?"

"Tell him the truth." Pure Yang Zhenren suddenly spoke. "After he knows the truth, you won't need to ask; he will spit it all out."

"What truth?" Old Man Xia suddenly had a very bad feeling in his heart, his whole body became tense, he started to break out in a cold sweat, but his hands and feet were turning cold!

"What truth! I beg my lord to tell the commoner, what truth exactly?" Old Man Xia struggled excitedly, the iron chains making a harsh sound.

The executioner outside heard the movement and asked at the door, "My lord, do you need help?"

"No! All retreat!"

"Yes!"

"Stop struggling, telling you won't hurt! The truth is, the Xia family has been exterminated. Except for your second son who wants to apprentice outside, and your eldest son who is seriously injured and dying, the whole family is dead."

"Ah ah ah..."

Old Man Xia suddenly let out a scream, not like a human voice, more like a wild beast. He was spitting out blood foam in large mouthfuls!

"The situation is not very good; he was already injured, plus the stimulation, the sudden anger attacking the heart, his heart is about to explode..."

His whole body's organs were failing rapidly, and there were symptoms of a heart attack.

Chen Guanlou:...

Oh well, played him to death!

Pure Yang Zhenren didn't hesitate at all, took out golden needles, and started saving him! Such a long golden needle, directly stabbed into his heart!

"Lay him flat!"

Soon, Old Man Xia was covered in golden needles!
