Chapter 410 Who Are You?

Phoenix Palace.

Zhong Daolong lay down comfortably on the sofa, holding a glass of Phoenix whiskey in his hand and shaking it gently.

He has been feeling restless and angry these days, so he likes to add ice balls to his drinks.

After a sip of wine, the collision of ice and fire seemed to ignite every cell in the human body.

Yan Wenli sat on the sofa opposite him and asked with a sad face: "Are you really going to kill me?"

"I really want to kill him."

Zhong Daolong said expressionlessly.

His eyes were always focused on the ice cubes that were soaked in wine and melting, as if this was a very interesting thing.

"Really kill them all?"

"Kill them all seriously."

Yan Wenli sighed softly and said: "Seven thousand three hundred and forty-six people were killed in this way, and the mass shooting was performed on the Imperial Plaza and broadcast live to citizens across the country. I am worried that it will cause panic among the people, and It will make other countries say some unpleasant things.”

"Are the allies surprised?" A sarcastic smile appeared on Zhong Daolong's lips. As the monarch of the most powerful country under the galaxy, he does not care what others think: "What they say is their business. What should we care about? ?”

"Even if we don't do anything, don't they still have enough news to smear us? They can write articles and report on the rumors."

"As for whether the people will panic and not do bad things, and are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. They are not rebels against the party, so what should they be afraid of?"

Yan Wenli explained with a smile: "I am also thinking about you. I am afraid that excessive killing will damage the national dignity and the authority of the monarch."

"I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

Zhong Daolong raised his glass to Yan Wenli, and the two clinked their glasses. After taking a sip of wine together, he said, "If possible, I would not be willing to take such a dangerous trick. Who wants to bear the infamy of a tyrant?" ?”

"But, look, look. How many years have they been hiding under our noses? How much strength have they hidden?"

"There are so many traitors in the Sunshine Welfare Institute. Are there any other lines? How many people are hidden?"

"Is there one in the Phoenix Palace? Is there one in your Supervisory Yuan? If someone had told me before that there was a Tang traitor hiding around me, I would have thought it was a fantasy."

"Now, I don't dare to say such things. Moreover, I believe that there are their people in the Phoenix Palace and there are also their people in the Overwatch Council."

"I don't dare to think about it. I don't even dare to think about it. How can they do this? They are determined to destroy our empire."

"Don't be too troubled. They're just a bunch of clowns and can't affect the overall situation." Yan Wenli comforted him.

"Be careful when sailing for ten thousand years. Throughout history, are there many cases of ships capsizing in the gutter?" Zhong Daolong said solemnly: "I want to see if they are really loyal or fake."

"Seven thousand of their comrades were shot collectively, and it was broadcast live to the whole world in the Empire State Plaza. Didn't they do anything for their comrades?"

Yan Wenli understood Zhong Daolong's intention for being so insistent.

Not only did he come to persuade him about this matter, there were also many people who came to persuade him. Hearing that His Highness Xiu Xue was here, it was difficult to shake his mind.

The remnants of the Tang syndrome were shot together in the Imperial Plaza. If those traitors hiding in the depths were bold enough to come to the rescue, their whereabouts would inevitably be exposed, and they could easily be bitten by the hive, or even be killed in one fell swoop.

If they do nothing and let these more than 7,000 people be shot

Then they will lose their hearts.

If you don't even save your own brothers and sisters, who would be willing to sacrifice their life for you?

The royal family also wanted to use this massacre to express their determination to defend the imperial power, and to deter those who harbor Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts, not to act rashly. The fate of the Tang family back then may also be your fate in the future.

This is a strong counterattack against the recent turmoil in the Lu family.

What's more, the venue and live broadcast method of the mass shooting are also very particular.

Think about it carefully, does it look familiar?

"I hope they are braver." Yan Wenli echoed.

"Yes, I hope they are braver." Zhong Daolong nodded and said aloud: "I also played the game of whack-a-mole when I was young. Only when those moles appeared on their own initiative did we know what was in our hands. Where should the hammer go?"

"If they just hide in the cave and don't come out, we will be helpless. If we let them dig and dig in the cave, I am afraid that the entire empire of Nuo Da will be hollowed out by them."

"What a pity." Yan Wenli played with the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile, "It would be great if I could pry He Xiaohua's mouth open, and it would save countless troubles."

"Bad food." Zhong Daolong cursed loudly and said, "Those people in the Security Bureau have been crippled by Shen Wuxiang, and they can't even handle such a small thing."

"Director Guo also tried his best. I heard that he spent several days in the interrogation room."

"Doesn't that further prove his incompetence?" Zhong Daolong sneered again and again.

After a pause, he looked at Yan Wenli thoughtfully, and asked aloud: "What do you think, let Tang Bandit try it?"

Yan Wenli's heart was slightly frightened, but his face was calm. He looked at Zhong Daolong and said, "Isn't this inappropriate? The Supervisory Yuan sent people over to catch the fish caught by the Security Bureau at this time. Isn't that taking credit?"

"What? If they can't do it, why don't they allow others to do it? How can there be such a truth in the world?"

Obviously, Zhong Daolong now dislikes the Security Bureau in every possible way.

"It's okay to let Tang Bandit try. If it works, everyone will be happy. If it doesn't work, there will be no loss."

"Besides, Bandit Tang is a guy who can always bring us surprises. Maybe it will be the same this time?"

"Okay, let him try it."

——

"I'm such a x-on:dog."

Tang Bandit cursed loudly in his heart.

What is this mission?

Let yourself interrogate He Xiaohua?

That was one of the nine generals under Tang Li's command, and a direct descendant of his father's confidants.

After the Tang clan was destroyed, she desperately rescued the descendants of those soldiers and placed them in welfare homes across the country.

And she herself was in a dangerous situation, personally lurking at the feet of the emperor, in order to one day avenge the general.

Maybe this day will never come

How did the Tang bandits succeed?

Every time I see him, it's torture.

These are worth a thousand cuts.

"What? Are you having trouble?" Yan Wenli looked at Tang Bandit with a smile and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Dean, it's not that I don't want to work, as you know. I don't get along well with Director Guo of the Security Bureau. When he sees me, it's like seeing the enemy who killed my father."

"Now let me interrogate the prisoners who he cannot interrogate. So, am I better off succeeding or failing?"

"If I succeed, he hates me to the core. If I fail, you won't be happy."

"This is what the king wants." Yan Wenli had already anticipated Tang Bandit's reaction and directly threw the man above him out.

"Ah?" Tang Bandit's eyes widened, then he smiled helplessly and said: "Whether it is the intention of the king or the dean. Since you have chosen me, I will definitely do it, and I will try every means to make it happen." Things are done."

"He who knows the current affairs is a hero."

Yan Wenli handed the warrant on the desk to Tang Bandit and said: "Go away, take this to Guo Nu, he will cooperate well."

"Yes, Dean."

Tang Bandit got up and left.

Yan Wenli looked at Tang Bandit's back with a faint smile on his lips.

"The king said that you can always bring surprises to everyone."

"Hopefully it will be the same this time."

——

The door to the interrogation room.

When Guo Nu saw Tang Bandit, it was like seeing his love rival who had cuckolded him.

He would rather the other party snatched his wife instead of He Xiaohua in the examination room.

His mood is very complicated.

If Tang Bandit succeeds, it will prove his incompetence.

If the Tang bandits failed, it would prove that they were equally incompetent.

Moreover, they were going to be pushed out and executed tomorrow, but at this time, the royal family pushed over the Control Yuan.

Do they think the Security Bureau is inferior to the Control Yuan?

Do they think they are inferior to the Tang bandits?

Guo Nu's protruding belly grew bigger again.

It's simply infuriating.

"What? Director Guo is worried that the warrant is false?" Tang Bandit squinted his eyes and looked at Guo Nu, and deliberately teased: "How about calling the military minister?"

Snap!

Guo Nu threw the order back and said, "This is the personal order of the king. I forgive you and you don't dare to fake it."

"However, the king asked me to cooperate with your interrogation. Therefore, when you interrogate, I have to watch from the side."

"This is an important prisoner captured by our security bureau. We can't let you toss him to death."

"Whatever." Tang Bandi shrugged.

"Open the door." Guo Nu shouted.

The heavy metal door of the interrogation room was pushed open, and Tang Bandit immediately saw the dying old lady lying on the interrogation chair.

He didn't know what kind of suffering she had gone through, but it could be seen from her miserable state that it was definitely not something that humans could bear.

Tang Bandit often said that there is nothing more important than living.

However, when he saw the old lady for the first time, he had this extravagant hope in his heart: just die, let her die.

It's more uncomfortable to be alive than to be dead.

Tang Bandit curled his lips and said mockingly: "It seems that Director Guo has put in a lot of effort? Didn't he torture the old lady to death?"

Guo Nu stared at Tang Bandit fiercely and counterattacked: "What? Are you sympathizing with the rebels?"

"I just feel that Director Guo has tortured people to this point without even taking out a hair. What other methods can I use?"

"."

Guo Nu felt aggrieved, but could not refute.

He Xiaohua was almost tortured to death by him, but she still gritted her teeth and remained silent.

This old bone is really hard.

I don't know if I was woken up by the sound of the two talking, or if I had some kind of telepathy.

He Xiaohua, who was in a coma, slowly opened her eyes. The moment she saw Tang Bandit, her heart was shocked.

It's him!

Sure enough it was him!

The general's child.

Ever since Lu Yu brought Tang Bandi back from the old land, she had been keeping her sights on Tang Bandit.

Pay attention to everything about him.

Including how he got to know Bai Wuxin, he went to the orphanage and brought delicious candied chestnuts to the children.

How nice.

You can still take a look before you die.

Tang Bandi and He Xiaohua looked at each other. Her eyes were so gentle, like a mother seeing a child returning from a distance.

It was just a momentary emotion, so fast that Guo Nu, who was following Tang Bandit, didn't notice anything strange.

Then his expression became fierce and he yelled: "Who are you?"

"Old witch."

Tang Bandit was so angry that he pulled out the Yin Jiao Sword from his waist and was about to stab her in the heart.

"Tang Bandit."

Guo Nu hugged Tang Bandit's sword-raising arm with both hands and yelled: "What are you going to do?"

"Didn't you hear? This old woman is scolding me."

"You're going to kill her for scolding you?"

"Otherwise? Since I can't get anything out of my scolding, I might as well kill him with a sword."

"You think I don't want to kill her? I have been told by the superiors that she cannot die. She will appear in the Empire State Plaza tomorrow night."

Tang Bandit naturally understood their intention to do this.

He Xiaohua is an important figure. Her appearance at the shooting scene in Empire Square can prompt the "rebels" to do even crazier and more terrifying things.

They want to force those who are hiding in the shadows to come out.

That is, my own group of people.

"Can't kill?" Tang Bandit asked.

"I can't kill you." Guo Nu said aloud. He was afraid that Tang Bandit would miss his important event: "I will be responsible for killing you."

Tang Bandi was silent for a moment and asked, "What tricks have you used before?"

Guo Nu recounted his interrogation process.

Tang Bao's heart throbbed when he heard this, but he couldn't show any emotion.

"Have you used all the twelve levels of pain?"

"Used."

"Isn't this a trick?"

"She carried it."

"What about level 13? Try level 13 pain?"

"She will die"

Tang Bandit looked furious and said aggrievedly: "What should we do? She can't deal with pain at level 12, and she will die at level 13. How are we going to try this?"

Guo Nu seemed to have found a confidant and said aloud: "Isn't it true? The higher-ups want it but we are too timid to do anything. Nothing can be done."

"Then I can't do the trial." Tang Bandit said, "Unless the superiors give me power."

Guo Nu was secretly happy.

Tang Bandit also failed to do what he couldn't do, which proved that this matter was indeed difficult.

"Whether the superiors will delegate power is your business." Guo Nu said loudly: "But no matter what, you can't kill her. She must live and accept a just trial and execution."

Tang Bandit stared at Guo Nu "viciously" and questioned aloud: "It's not you who is causing trouble in the middle, is it?"

"How is that possible?" Guo Nu said angrily like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "This is an order issued by Manager Chen personally. It is the intention of the Phoenix Palace. If you are not afraid of taking responsibility, then kill her." This time, I won’t stop you.”

Tang Bandi's eyes scrutinized Guo Nu's face, and then landed on He Xiaohua's face.

He sighed, turned around and left.

"What? Don't you dare to kill me? You cowards."

He Xiaohua laughed loudly.

"Old man, I don't have much time left for you. I'll send you to see the King of Hell tomorrow."

Guo cursed angrily and quickly caught up with Tang Bandit.

He had to communicate with the Tang bandits to see how to report so that their responsibilities could be minimized, and everyone formed a short-term offensive and defensive alliance.

After all, the two of them are now "brothers in distress" and died in the same case.
