Chapter 498

Eyebrow

Hangzhou, Zhejiang, in the Governor's Mansion. Today, the head of the Zhejiang province, Xianyan Boda, is looking at a document in his hand. He is a man who is over 50 years old and looks very majestic. Although he is only wearing loose regular clothes, he can still put pressure on Zhang Siyuan, the governor who is standing under him to report on official affairs: "...Sir, this is the cost of building river embankments in various prefectures and counties that I want to spend this year. I dare to ask what do you think?" He finally reported everything and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, what Mr. Zhang said is very detailed and suitable for the situation in all parts of Zhejiang Province. Let's do what you said." After carefully reading the official documents in his hand, Yan Boda nodded with satisfaction and said, "It is really a blessing for the people of Zhejiang to have colleagues like Mr. Zhang help me!"

"Mr. Yan praised it." Zhang Siyuan said modestly, and then he opened his mouth again, as if there was something to say.

This action happened to be seen by Governor Yan, who looked up at him, and said curiously: "Why, does Lord Zhang have anything else to report? You and I are colleagues, and you can say anything but it's okay."

"That's right. Xiaguan just got the news from Shaoxing that the White Lotus Sect made a lot of noise. This matter was implicated in Lord Tang Feng from the capital. I wonder if Lord Tang has received the wind?"

"I already know this. I have instructed the governor of Shaoxing to handle this matter well." Yan Boda nodded.

"The adults are indeed extremely efficient in their work, and I admire him." After flattering, Zhang Siyuan said again: "Isn't this a bit rude? Lord Tang Feng is also from the capital. Since he has encountered trouble in my Zhejiang, should we, as landlords, go to express our condolences? I wonder what the adults want?"

"I thought it was not necessary." When he heard him talk about this, Yan Boda's expression became a little gloomy: "Although things happened in my Zhejiang, if he had not formed enemies, no one would have been unable to get along with him. Moreover, he was a co-master of the Jinyiwei, but a fourth-rank master, and he came to Zhejiang and didn't know how to visit us adults. Since he didn't know that politeness was first, why should we keep this politeness to him? Let him go."

"It seems inappropriate? Although Tang Feng's official position is not very high, he has gained the trust of the current emperor and has made a lot of contributions. If he is ripped off due to this, his career may be unfavorable to his future. There are people in the court who are easy to be an official, which is a principle that will last forever." Zhang Siyuan said carefully.

"Hmph, what kind of credit is to gain fame and spread rumors. In my opinion, he is a jester around the emperor. What can he do? I am not afraid of being slanted by the shadows. Do you still have to curry favor with such a person?"

"Yes, yes, what the lord said is that the lower officials have been slacking off for a while." Zhang Siyuan said hurriedly.

"It's no wonder you. Since those eunuchs have caused trouble, the officialdom has lost that backbone. I can't decide what others are doing, but I must not allow such things to happen below my official position!"

"Yes, the official has been taught." Zhang Siyuan agreed, and after talking to Yan Boda for a while, he stepped out. When he came outside, the humility on his face was wiped out, and his mind began to think: "This Yan's personality can be used by me. Even if Tang Feng really noticed it, with his temperament, he would never let Zhi intervene. Now what I should do is to make a few more fires in front of him, so that he can have greater prejudice against Tang Feng, which will be more beneficial to my next actions." Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but tilt.

Shaoxing and Shanyin County Government. When Tang Feng heard that the people were about to arrive, he sent some Jinyiwei people to pick him up. Although he knew that the White Lotus Sect had very little power in Shaoxing after the last battle and it was difficult to pose any threat to these people, he made arrangements for caution. Then, Tang Feng came back to the county government and waited for those people to interrogate as soon as they arrived.

Everything went very smoothly. By noon, the people in the prison van were taken to the county yard of Shanyin County. With the experience last time, the people in the county yard, from the county magistrate to the yamen runners, were already familiar with Tang Feng's behavior, and immediately brought these people to the hall for interrogation.

This time, the interrogation was much more severe than when he was in She County. These people had been imprisoned in She County for so long, and no longer had their previous aura. After several intimidations, they told everything they knew. Unfortunately, what these people knew was not much different from what Tang Feng had mastered, and no one could tell the reasons for Elder Ge and Elder Hou’s identities.

This was already within Tang Feng's expectations. He asked first that these people were just the beginning. His real target was another person, the Yang Changzhou who had originally told him that his own people would be unfavorable to Tang Feng in Shaoxing. When he saw this person again, Tang Feng couldn't recognize him. It turned out that a handsome young man with a handsome man had a look of vicissitudes and confusion. He seemed to be twenty years old. It seemed that he had suffered a lot in prison.

In fact, this is easy to understand. For this person, the prison guards in the prison will naturally not treat Yang Changzhou well. He betrayed the White Lotus Sect. Even if other people in the sect cannot hurt him, this insult is naturally inevitable. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is living in prison like a year. Seeing that he is like this, Tang Feng thought that he would be able to tell more secrets would be even more sure. "What's wrong with Brother Yang? It's only less than a month, why are you so haggard?" Tang Feng saw that his first words were not a question, but a very kind greeting.

This made Yang Changzhou feel even more uncomfortable and he smiled bitterly: "It is a blessing that the prisoner under the ranks can save his life. How can he have other requests?"

"It seems that Brother Yang is very uncomfortable in prison." After saying nonsense that almost made Yang Changzhou curse, Tang Feng smiled and said, "I wonder if Brother Yang wants to leave Zhuan Zhuan, so I will avoid this disaster?"

"Of course I thought about it, I dreamed of leaving..." After saying this involuntarily, Yang Changzhou smiled bitterly with some enlightenment: "But thinking is one thing, I also know that this is impossible. After becoming a member of the White Lotus Sect, I knew that this road could no longer be turned back..." The regret and hatred on his face were obvious.

"No, Brother Yang is not without a chance. I can give you such a chance now." Tang Feng smiled, like a devil who was luring people to commit crimes. Yang Changzhou felt moved when he heard this, but then he said helplessly: "I know what Lord Tang means. Do you want me to make up for my merits? Unfortunately, what I know is very limited. Otherwise, I would have used it as a bargaining chip to ask Lord Tang to be kind."

After seeing Tang Feng's ruthless thundering method, Yang Changzhou had long since he had made up some stories in exchange for his own freedom, because he knew that it would only make him die worse. Tang Feng nodded slightly. Since he said so, he could indeed trust what he said later. Then after a while, he said: "There is no absolute in the world, and some things may not be as desperate as you think. Maybe it will be bright."

"Master, please ask." Yang Changzhou knew that Tang Feng wanted to ask himself something about the White Lotus Sect again. Now in order to save his life, he was no longer afraid of saying anything. Anyway, the fact that he was a traitor in the sect has been confirmed, and he is not afraid of rebelling again. Tang Feng said, "Okay, please feel free! That official is not going around any more. I ask you, are you familiar with the elders who came here with you this time to attack me?"

"I have had contact with the two elders, Hou, Ge, but the other one has never seen him."

"How much do you know about their situation? As far as I know, Elder Ge is a man from the south. Have you ever heard of where he has always lived?" Tang Feng was a little nervous when he said this.

"This..." Yang Changzhou thought carefully. Although he had made a lot of contributions to the sect because of Li Yan and his status in the White Lotus Sect, he obviously could not do it if he knew the secrets of some core characters. After stuttering for a while, Yang Changzhou still shook his head in distress: "I haven't heard them mention it with other people in the sect. These people are doing business that turn around, and their hiding places have always been the most important thing, so naturally they will not say that they know with others at will."

Tang Feng sighed in disappointment. It turned out that he could only know something from this person, but he still gained nothing. Could it be that he would continue to torture the Hou and Ge? But they were so tough that they wanted to ask something from them, but it was too difficult. Maybe even if they killed them, they couldn't find what they wanted.

Seeing Tang Feng's disappointed look, Yang Changzhou became nervous. He knew that he was not very important in Tang Feng's heart. If he could not give him an answer he needed, he would be afraid that he would have to die. The fear of death made Yang Changzhou begin to search for everything about the two elders in his mind desperately.

There is no way out. When Tang Feng helplessly wanted someone to take Yang Changzhou down, he suddenly said, "I thought of it, Lord Tang, I thought of it."

"What did you think of?" Tang Feng asked hurriedly.
