Chapter 540 Flower Order

The interrogators looked around in surprise, and the lights soon returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Everyone's attention quickly focused on Dong Wenshu again. Although they didn't know what Dong Wenshu was doing, they all noticed that something was wrong.

The interrogator waved his hand and said, "Control him."

Immediately, two more people rushed over, held Dong Wenshu down, and tied him back to the rack.

The interrogator walked up to pick up a few of the broken jade tablets, observed them, and sniffed them. He stood up and walked them to Dong Wenshu, asking, "Mr. Dong, what are these? What were you doing just now? Who were you trying to send a message to?"

Dong Wenshu raised his head slightly and looked at the rooftop. His Adam's apple moved as he sighed, "Wang Ping is just a clerk I hired in my library. What should I know if he doesn't want me to know? I said I didn't know what was going on behind his back, but you didn't believe me and forced me to tell you everything. How can this be justified? I am a benevolent and righteous person, but you are just playing the knife and chopping board. Now I realize how ridiculous it is. It has brought disaster to my family. It is my fault after all."

The interrogator held up the fragment in his palm and said in a deep voice, "You said you wanted to confess, is that why? Mr. Dong, we are old acquaintances, I respect you as a person, you play this trick on me? Tell me, who did you tip off? If you can't give an explanation today, the punishment you will suffer will be beyond your imagination. It's better to confess sooner rather than later!"

He was a little angry. If the target of pursuit really escaped because of the jade token, he, as an indulgent person, would be held responsible.

Dong Wenshu slowly closed his eyes. He really didn't know how to explain. He really didn't know anything about Wang Ping, and he didn't know anything about the jade token either. It was passed down from generation to generation by his ancestors, and there was no explanation for its origin.

I don’t know whether the origin of something was lost during the inheritance process, or if some generation intentionally downplayed the origin of something.

But he is also a person of the cultivation world after all, and from the way the jade token is used, it can be judged that it is used to report a message to someone and ask for help.

Because of an experience of his ancestors, he had a vague suspicion, but he was not sure.

In addition, it was a long time ago and he didn't know whether it was still useful, so he had no explanation.

He was not good at lying. If it were someone like Shi Chun or Wu Jinliang, they would probably immediately reveal the possible origin of the jade token to protect themselves in order to avoid punishment. It would be better to take care of the present before talking about the future.

Seeing his stubborn attitude, the interrogator got angry and sneered, "Mr. Dong, I've never seen a really tough guy in this torture chamber. I hope you are one of them. Come on, serve me well first, and then we can talk slowly!"

With a wave of his hand, his men immediately picked up weapons from the side.

But at this moment, there seemed to be a sudden loud rumbling sound outside, like thunder.

A bolt from the blue? The people in the torture room were stunned. They remembered that it was a sunny day outside.

Little did I know that it was already dark outside.

To be more precise, the sky over the city suddenly darkened.

First, an unnoticed crack in the void suddenly appeared in the air, and then a gray cloud appeared out of nowhere, gradually blocking the sunlight, which attracted everyone to look up.

I saw a gray cloud gradually spinning in the sky like a whirlpool, with lightning flashing from time to time, covering the big city.

"It's evil spirit..." someone on the street murmured.

Many people were frightened, with such a strong demonic aura, and they didn't know which demon had come.

The noise on the street startled people from their houses and they ran outside to look.

Many people were startled out from the mountain in the city, including Li Xianghong and Po Yuan from the City Guard House. They were interrogating Bai Qiru but were startled out by the report from their subordinates. Also startled out were the jurors sent by the Jihuo Sect.

Qiu Ben’s second disciple Zhu Xin came in person.

In fact, the main interrogators were from the Jihuo Sect, and the Shenshan forces were just cooperating.

At this time, people on the mountain, in the city and outside the city all looked up to the sky.

The evil energy swirling in the sky descended and pressed down, stirring up the dust around the city. The dust suddenly flew up, and there was also a feeling of flying sand and rocks inside the city.

The windows that were not closed were slamming, the curtains were flying, and all kinds of evil insects were hiding under the eaves.

The evil spirit that descended suddenly covered the entire city like a thick fog. Countless people were frightened and dared not speak loudly for fear of disturbing the sacred being.

On the foggy street, a woman in red was walking slowly in the mist, and almost no one noticed her.

When they reached the vicinity of Chaoyue Pavilion, the swirling evil spirit in the city swirled and spread quickly outside the city, also sweeping away the flying dust outside the city.

The anomaly in the sky disappeared, and the city became clear and bright again. The face of the woman in red also became clear. Her eyebrows and features were picturesque, her eyes were as bright and sparkling as stars, her skin was fair and beautiful, and there was a pleasant smile on her face. She seemed to be friendly to everyone, but she did not seem to take anyone on the streets seriously, and walked calmly.

Her bright red dress was very eye-catching, and on one side of her high-pickled hair was a bright red flower. I didn't know whether the flower was more beautiful or she was more beautiful.

The dress may seem gaudy, but it gives people a very refreshing feeling.

It did brighten the eyes of the people on the street, but everyone just looked at her a few more times. Everyone was more concerned about the strange phenomenon just now.

The woman in red walked to the entrance of Chaoyue Pavilion and saw a seal on the closed door. She looked at the sign and then walked to the chattering crowd diagonally opposite to listen to their gossip.

And at the center of the demonic storm, on the top of the hill in the city, there was an old man in black. His hair was shiny black, and he habitually half-tilted his head, with his hands folded in front of his abdomen. There were deep wrinkles on his face, and his eyes that scrutinized people were also deeply intimidating.

Li Xianghong and the others all stared at the old man who had just descended from the center of the demonic energy storm with vigilance. They all knew that the newcomer was no ordinary person and was absolutely powerful.

Finally, it was the old man's deep, rustling voice that broke the silence, asking, "Is anyone from the Chaoyue Pavilion owner here?"

When these words were spoken, those who knew that Dong Wenshu's family had been captured were all horrified. Such an appearance in such a grand manner, was it actually aimed at the Dong family?

Zhu Xin's throat moved. Po Yuan bowed and said, "This is the residence of the Lord of Dazhi City. May I ask who is here?"

The old man in black waved his hand and a beam of white light flashed like thunder.

Boom! The ground cracked.

A four-foot-long, silver-frost-colored command arrow appeared and stuck in front of Po Yuan and others.

There are countless reliefs of various flowers and vines on the command arrow. Under the appearance of colorful flowers, various animals, humans or skeletons are vaguely entangled. The lifelike visual impact is very strong, or it can be said to be shocking.

What's even more amazing is that the noise of the arrow hitting the ground actually produced a strange sound that echoed on the arrow, as if a woman was humming softly.

Upon seeing the order, whether it was Li Xianghong, Po Yuan, or Zhu Xin, they were all shocked. They all lifted their clothes, knelt on one knee, bowed their heads, and knelt in front of the order.

Even the city guards who had not seen the command arrows nearby knew that someone important had arrived, and they all knelt down.

The whole mountain surrendered instantly.

The people kneeling in front of the command arrow didn't even dare to breathe. Anyone with a little knowledge knew what this command arrow was. It was the command arrow of the Demon Queen of Hezhou, Xiniu. It was called: Hua Xiang Ling.

Anyone who sees this order will feel as if they have seen the Demon Queen herself.

The old man directly named the owner of Chaoyue Pavilion. Those present who had heard a little about the legend of the owner's ancestors felt a little numb in their hearts. It was rumored that the owner's ancestor was once the teacher of the Demon Queen. They didn't expect that such a long-standing relationship still existed.

Isn't this scary?

Those kneeling before the order didn't know how to end it, or what would be their fate.

Zhu Xin, in particular, was extremely terrified. He had already checked and knew that the people in that shabby bookstore lived in poverty. It was impossible for them to have such a strong background. Even if there was some connection, it would not be hidden from someone with ulterior motives. It was impossible for them to live like this.

Po Yuan and Li Xianghong also regretted it. If they wanted to target the Bai family, they should just target the Bai family. Why did they agree to Zhu Xin to arrest even the people from Chaoyue Pavilion?

The two also wanted to ask Dong Wenshu what he was doing. The last time something happened in Chaoyue Pavilion, Fan Wuzhe was beaten to a pulp, but he didn't use his connections. It turned out that nephews and nephews were not considered family, right?

This is where the problem lies. It was precisely because they were able to deal with the people of Chaoyue Pavilion in such a bad way last time and nothing happened that the two of them agreed to cooperate with Zhu Xin. And Zhu Xin also thought that the past of the Dong family was actually nothing special because of what happened in Chaoyue Pavilion last time, so he wanted to catch everyone in one fell swoop and get to the bottom of everything about the Dong family.

The old man in black raised his hand, and the command arrow rose from the ground, and then he took it back in an instant. He asked again, "Is anyone from the owner of Chaoyue Pavilion here?"

Li Xianghong raised her head and replied, "Yes."

The old man in black glanced at the scene and saw that none of them looked like that. He immediately asked, "Where are the people?"

Li Xianghong immediately turned around and shouted, "Go and invite the Dong family over quickly."

The maid behind immediately got up and ran away.

Soon, Dong Wenshu's family of five all came, including the handywoman, so all six people in the library packed up and came.

It looked like five of the six men were intact, and it was obvious that only Dong Wenshu had suffered. His body was covered in blood, and he was whipped more than a dozen times for being dishonest.

The reason why the others are fine is simply because they have not been tried yet. If Chaoyue Pavilion wants to try someone, Dong Wenshu will definitely be the first one.

His four children were either in tears or filled with grief and anger, not knowing what would become of them.

The woman following them was also uneasy.

When they reached the top of the mountain, most of them were stunned to see Li Xianghong and others kneeling in submission. They all realized that the old man in black was a big shot.

Dong Wenshu had a vague guess, and the old man in black confirmed his guess as soon as he spoke, "Are you from the owner of Chaoyue Pavilion?"

Dong Wenshu, who had lifted the ban, bowed and said, "That's right."

The old man in black looked at the injuries on his body and asked, "What happened? Tell me everything."

"Yes." After Dong Wenshu agreed, he naturally did not hide anything and told the whole story in detail.

Li Xianghong and the others were still half-kneeling, unable to get up, because they were not allowed to stand up...

Hearing the neighbors talking about what happened in the library, the woman in red walked into the alley beside Chaoyue Pavilion, walking alone in silence. The civet cat on the wall stared at her coldly.

Suddenly, the civet cat's fur stood up and it bent its body, as if the woman in red in the alley had suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

The cat whimpered dully on the wall, alert.

The woman in red has appeared in the old courtyard of Chaoyue Pavilion. She wanders around, looks around, walks by the window, passes by the old eaves, touches the pillars and railings, and tries to feel everything with her fingertips.

When I stopped at the kitchen, I was distracted for a long time by the obvious traces of human life.

After walking across a small bridge over flowing water, she stood next to a rockery, staring at the four large characters "Purple Air Coming from the East" engraved on it, which had become almost blurred after years of wear and tear. She then reached out and touched the obvious wear and tear on the lower corner.

Next to the four big characters, there were originally two small characters, which were a person's name. Judging from the traces of time left on the surface due to wear and tear, it was obvious that someone had erased the name a long time ago.
