The one who rushed out first was not someone else, it was Gu Chen.


    His speed was as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, he came close to the other party. The spirit gun in his hand stabbed forward according to the trend. The spiritual cultivator didn''t even have a chance to respond. He was stabbed in the stomach by Gu Chen.


    In the earrings, Gu Chen heard a snort. Gu Chen''s powerful, heavy and extremely fast shot directly pierced the other party''s body. The spirit cultivator screamed until he died, and the body was still hanging on Gu Chen''s spirit gun.


    Yan Xi saw Gu Chen''s skill for the first time, which can really be described as amazing. When she first met Gu Chen, she felt that the young man had deep cultivation and showed strong spiritual pressure. Now when she saw his hand, Yan Xi felt that she underestimated him.


    Gu Chen shook her gun and threw the body down. At the same time, she snorted coldly and shouted to the soldiers around: "drag it down!"


    Hearing his command, people woke up like a dream and came forward one after another to pull each other''s bodies out.


    Gu Chen looked back and saw that his uncle had sat back on the horse with the help of the people, and was wiping a cold sweat with lingering fear. He shook his head and walked to the house with his gun.


    As soon as he entered the gate, Yan Xi caught up with her with a spirit sword. Gu Chen glanced at her and asked, "what''s Miss Yan doing in here?"


    Yan Xi smiled and said, "nature is to help you catch the assassin!"


    "That''s not necessary." Gu Chen was ungrateful, proudly waved her hand and said, "if Miss Yan really wants to help, stay outside and protect my uncle for me. As for catching only a few assassins, it''s enough for me and the soldiers!"


    Yan Xi still wanted to talk, but Gu Chen had walked away with big steps.


    Yan Xi felt helpless. Although she didn''t have much contact with Gu Chen, she could feel that this person was arrogant and self endowed. If she tried to help him, it would make him feel that she despised him. Yan Xi didn''t go in any more. He quickly withdrew from the house and stood back to Gu Chong.


    Gu Chen entered the house with only two cups of tea. Almost half an hour or so, the battle in the house was over.


    Although the scale of the battle was small, the soldiers in the Lieutenant''s house were killed and injured a lot, including three or four hundred people. However, they also killed five enemy spiritual practitioners and captured six people. Among them, three spiritual practitioners were killed by Gu Chen, and two were captured alive.


    When the battle was over, Gu Chen immediately ordered to clean up the scene and personally escorted six captured spiritual practitioners back to the Lieutenant''s house for interrogation.


    Gu Chen is a master of torture, but he is not a master of interrogation.


    The six practitioners were very strict. No matter how they executed, they insisted on doing business in Yancheng.


    How can Gu Chen believe such nonsense? They have a lot of money, but they don''t have the same goods. Moreover, how can more than ten people go into business and be spiritual practitioners?


    Seeing that Gu Chen had no other means but to use punishment, Yan Xi shook her head secretly. She suggested to Gu Chen to search carefully in the house where these spiritual practitioners lived. If they were really assassins, there must be clues in the house.


    Gu Chen thought carefully and thought that Yan Xi''s words were reasonable. Then he sent his smart and smart people to the house again and searched again.


    However, the people of the Lieutenant''s residence searched the house quickly and found nothing. Finally, they had to come back to Gu Chen to recover his life.


    After listening to the reward of his servant, Gu Chen looked at Yan Xi, and the expression on his face was undoubtedly saying: how about it? Search is useless. We have to use tough means to deal with these people. Yan Xi didn''t think so. She thought there must be something missing in the Lieutenant''s house. She took her four men and went to the house in person to find clues.


    Yan Xi himself is a Ranger. Naturally, he knows the habits of Rangers best.


    She walked from room to room in the house, looked around and felt around. She really didn''t find anything wrong. After searching twice, she went to the center of the yard and stood still and meditated. If she were these peaceful people and really assassins, where would she hide the weapons specially used for assassination?


    Soon, her eyes were attracted by an old tree in the yard. Subconsciously, she walked forward. First, she raised her eyes to the tree fork, and then knocked on the trunk. There was no abnormality. When she was frowning and meditating, suddenly the grass under her feet was somewhat unusual.


    The grass in other places is very neat, but the grass in front of the tree is very messy. Obviously, people often walk here. Yan Xi squatted down slowly, touched it slowly, then stretched out his hands, grabbed the grass, fiercely lifted it up, and with a crash, she pulled a two foot long turf off the ground.


    Looking down again, there was a square pit under the turf, in which a wooden box was placed. Yan Xi''s eyes brightened, threw away the turf and carefully brought out the box. The weight of this box is not light. Even Yan Xi has to do his best. After she raised the box, her men immediately came forward and checked it carefully to confirm that there was no mechanism. Then they slowly opened the cover of the box.


    People want to have a look inside. Well, there are more than ten special crossbow machines in the box. Under the crossbow machine, that is, the bottom of the box, are covered with dense crossbows and arrows. These crossbows and arrows are made of pure steel. If the person who uses the crossbow machine is a spiritual cultivator, then the crossbows and arrows can be spiritualized first, What makes it shoot is a spirit arrow.


    No wonder the box is so heavy! Yan Xi sneered as like as two peas, and picked up a crossbow arrow and looked closely. It was exactly like the arrow shot by their assassin during the day. This is irrefutable evidence. Putting these things in front of those tranquil practitioners can also defeat their psychological defense line.


    Yan Xi made a worthwhile trip and returned to the Lieutenant''s residence with a wooden box.


    Gu Chen was also surprised when he saw the things in the wooden box. He didn''t expect Yan Xizhen to find out the evidence, nor did he expect that these Ningren spiritual practitioners who claimed to be businessmen were really the assassins who assassinated the king.


    With these things, Gu Chen came to the spirit and refreshed the six captured spiritual practitioners again. This time, he interrogated them separately one by one.


    Without evidence, those who practice spirit can still speak hard. Now the criminal evidence has fallen into Gu Chen''s hands. They can''t deny it anymore, so they can only deal with it in a silent way.


    The witness is in front of them. They still refuse to confess. Gu Chen is ready to execute again, but she is stopped by Yan Xi, who asks her to come for trial.


    In fact, Gu Chen has been able to make an appointment with Tang Yin when things have come to this. After all, the evidence is as strong as a mountain. Even if they don''t confess, they can be convicted.


    However, he didn''t want to waste this rare opportunity. He wanted to be perfect and give the king a complete confession. By the way, he also frustrated the spirit of the hidden arrow and the prestige of the long Lieutenant''s house.


    He tried to let Yan Xi interrogate the assassin. Yan Xi''s interrogation was much more skillful than Gu Chen''s. one coax, two deceive and three frighten, and used all the false and real tricks.


    During the interrogation, she first made clear her interests and told the truth, which can not only be excused, but also may be reused by the imperial court. If she refused to explain, she will not only suffer, but also her family in Ningdi will be implicated, and it is also possible to implicate the nine families. Then she used deceitful means to make it clear without shame that others have explained, but only you have not. In the end, others can be excused, promoted and rich, and only you want the whole family to die. Is it worth it?


    Yan Xi basically said this set of true and false words to every Ningren spiritual cultivator. It is impossible for everyone to be fooled, but not everyone is immune. When she tried the fourth person, the Ningren spiritual cultivator finally couldn''t stand it and shouted, "they all recognize it?"


    "Of course." Yan Xi nodded on the ground, took out several confessions that seemed to have been signed, shook them in front of the man, and said, "they told everything they know. When are you going to hide it? Do you really want to dig your own grave for yourself and your family?"


    Her heart attack tactics were very successful. The Ningren spiritual cultivator clenched his teeth and scolded a soft bone. Then he nodded at Yan Xi and said, "yes! We are the dead who assassinated Tang Yin, the leader of the wind thief! Today, I fell into your hands and cut you if you want to kill me, but it has nothing to do with my family..."


    Listen to him say here, Yan Xi no longer asked, the following things will be handed over to Gu Chen.


    This is a chain reaction. As long as you open a person''s mouth, the next things will be much easier to do.


    Through this man''s confession, Gu Chen interrogated several people in front again. He didn''t have to say anything more and directly put the man''s confession in front of them.


    Seeing the confessions of their companions with their own eyes, the psychological defense line of the tortured spiritual practitioners completely collapsed. Five of the six confessed and admitted that they had participated in the assassination of Tang Yin. However, they are only involved, not decision-makers. The decision-maker of the assassination is against the wind and the left envoy Zixu. After the failure of the operation, Zixu has quietly left Yancheng, leaving them to continue lurking and looking for opportunities.


    All the confessions confessed by the assassin can be basically recognized as facts. Without further delay, Gu Chen made the assassin secretly transferred out of the prison, placed him in another hidden place, and sent a special person to take strict care of him. Then, with his confession, he went to the palace with Gu Chong and Yan Xi overnight to see Tang Yin and report the situation.


    It was late at night. When they arrived at the palace, Tang Yin had already fallen asleep, and the bodyguard outside the palace stopped them all.


    Gu Chong stepped forward and said with a smile, "we have something urgent to see the king!"


    No matter what rank you are, the bodyguards of the royal residence have to look at their faces even if the heavenly king Lao Tzu comes here. The bodyguards sneered one after another. One of the captain arched his hand and said, "general Gu, I''m sorry, the king has rested and no one can be seen!"


    Gu Chong was still talking. Gu Chen darted forward, grabbed the guard captain''s collar, lifted it up and shouted, "it''s urgent. If you delay time, you can''t keep ten heads!"


    The guards of the royal residence are arrogant and used to it. Who has been bullied? The captain of the guard gave a strange cry and shouted, "presumptuous!" He swung his fist and hit Gu Chen hard. The latter would not let him hit. The hand holding his neck was steep, and the captain of the guard''s tall body flew out sideways.


    At this time, there was a cry from the guards inside Yan''s mansion, and they all shouted, "why is this happening?"
