Chapter 225 Kidnapping
Chapter 225 Kidnapping

Everyone suddenly understood what was going on after hearing this, and secretly thanked God that Ye Xuan was leading the team this time, otherwise they would really be confused and wouldn't know where to start.

After Ye Xuan explained it briefly, he immediately gave the order: "Go!"

In an instant, more than a dozen dark shadows crossed the street and easily climbed over the wall of Pingliang Marquis Mansion.

The ten Jinyiwei that Ye Xuan asked Wang Feihu to select this time were all highly skilled people, including Qian'er, who was also a famous martial arts master. Ye Xuan himself had a tenfold physical fitness bonus, so a mere wall was naturally no problem for him.

The group quickly sneaked into Pingliang Marquis Mansion, and under the leadership of Ye Xuan, they quickly arrived at Lawrence Lu's bedroom in the dark.

During the day, Ye Xuan had bribed a servant in the Pingliang Marquis Mansion through money, and successfully obtained the layout map of the Pingliang Marquis Mansion. Ye Xuan memorized the layout of the Pingliang Mansion firmly in his mind, so he could go directly to Lu Zhongheng's bedroom without any hindrance.

Ye Xuan nodded, and immediately a Jinyiwei took out a bamboo tube. After poking a hole in the window paper, the Jinyiwei put his mouth close to it and blew gently. A puff of white smoke floated into the house along with the night breeze.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Ye Xuan estimated that the drug had taken effect, so he used a dagger to pry open the bolt and sneaked into the room with more than a dozen Jinyiwei.

With the dim moonlight outside the window, Ye Xuan walked towards the bed in the dark.

With the tenfold bonus of physical fitness, Ye Xuan could see everything clearly even though the room was pitch black.

At this time, there were two people lying on the bed, a man and a woman.

The woman was clean from head to toe, with a plump figure, and her legs spread wide, revealing a patch of muddy grass.

The man was a fat man about fifty years old. He was clean all over and was snoring loudly.

Ye Xuan recalled the portrait of Lawrence Lu and confirmed that the man was undoubtedly Lawrence Lu.

So Ye Xuan nodded, and Wang Feihu immediately took a few people and gently tied up Lu Zhongheng and covered his mouth and nose.

Lu Zhongheng, who was drugged, did not react at all. After being tied up by Wang Feihu and his men, he was stuffed with a sack, carried on his shoulders, and nodded to Ye Xuan.

Then the group of people quietly sneaked out of the room, came to the bottom of the wall, and flew out with a tap of their feet.

As soon as they left Pingliang Marquis Mansion, the group disappeared into the night at an extremely fast speed.

…………

With a "splash", a basin of cold water was poured on Lawrence Lu's face, instantly pulling him back from his dream.

"Damn it! I just dreamed of making love with Empress Ma. Which bastard disturbed my sweet dream?"

Lawrence Lu opened his eyes cursing, but what he saw was not his favorite concubine, but a handsome face with a half-smile.

"You... who are you!" Lu Zhongheng was startled, and then found himself tied up tightly. He immediately flew into a rage: "Do you know that I am the Marquis of Pingliang? How dare you kidnap a prince? This is a heinous crime punishable by the death of nine generations of your clan!"

Ye Xuan smiled slightly, revealing a hint of contempt.

Empress Ma was already in her forties, yet Lu Zhongheng could still dream about her. His taste was quite strong.

"Kidnapping a prince is a capital crime, but isn't it a capital crime if your teammate has the intention to molest the current queen?" When these words came out, Lawrence Lu was shocked, but he quickly calmed down and said disdainfully: "What kind of dream did I have? What evidence do you have? But it is a fact that you kidnapped a prince!"

"Stop talking nonsense. You want money? Just say it directly!"

Just as he finished speaking, the door was suddenly pushed open, and more than a dozen strong men in black clothes entered one after another with various torture instruments in their hands.

Lu Zhonghengdao was not too surprised. If someone had the guts to kidnap him, it would be strange if he was alone.

It was just that the strange things in their hands made Lawrence Lu a little wary. After years of marching, Lawrence Lu could tell at a glance that those things were not good stuff.

Ye Xuan grinned, pointed at the torture instruments and said frankly: "To be honest with you, Marquis Pingliang, we are the Jinyiwei from the Yingtian Prefecture's Pacification Division, and we have come here to arrest you in accordance with the imperial decree!"

When Lawrence Lu heard this, his heart couldn’t help but beat wildly.

No one knew better than him what he had done in private. When he heard about the Jinyiwei, he immediately thought that his affair had been exposed.

However, decades of military career were not in vain. Lu Zhongheng quickly calmed down and forced a sneer, "You thief, you dare to pretend to be a Jinyiwei, do you think your grandfather was scared of me?"

Ye Xuan didn't waste any words, and directly took out the Jinyiwei waist badge and threw it on Lu Zhongheng's face, "Does Pingliang Hou believe it this time?"

Lawrence Lu wanted to be tough, but Ye Xuan waved his hand to interrupt him and said, “Law Lu, you know what you have done, and you don’t need to pretend anymore!”

"I believe you know that Wang Guangyang has been arrested. Then you should still remember the secret letters between you and Wang Guangyang, right?"

When Lu Zhongheng heard this, his face trembled uncontrollably, because every word Ye Xuan said was true.

Despite this, Lawrence Lu remained pale and said nothing.

Seeing him like this, Ye Xuan was too lazy to persuade him anymore.

He waved his hand and asked Wang Feihu and the Jinyiwei to leave all the torture instruments behind, and then withdrew.

Ye Xuan looked at Lu Zhongheng and said with a smile: "Let Pingliang Hou know that I have obtained a strange book since I was a child. The book records all the cruel punishments in the world. Not to mention that no one in the world can withstand all the punishments, I have never seen anyone who can survive half of them."

Ye Xuan said as he picked up a knife, walked towards Lawrence Lu with ill intentions and said, “Since Pingliang Hou is unwilling to cooperate, then this official will have no choice but to offend him.”

At this time, outside the room, Wang Feihu and others were still wearing night clothes, and they were puzzled and asked: "Why do you think the adults want us to retreat temporarily? Anyway, we have used these punishments before. Are you afraid of scaring us?"

The subordinates all shook their heads, and someone agreed, "Maybe the master is kind-hearted, and he rarely tortures prisoners. He's afraid that he might be embarrassed if he doesn't use it skillfully!"

Wang Feihu slapped the boy fiercely and said with a smile: "You dare to talk about the master behind his back, be careful that you will be caught by the master and used as a training ground!"

Everyone laughed when they heard that, and Wang Feihu obviously agreed with what that person said.

After all, the torture and interrogation of prisoners were usually done by his subordinates like Wang Feihu, and Ye Xuan seldom did it himself, so it was normal that he was not very familiar with the punishments.

However, this time the matter was of great importance, and the target was a throat master. Perhaps Ye Xuan suddenly felt like doing it himself.
