After the immortal disappeared

There is a toilet design inside, so distinguished guests will not have their feet numb from squatting.

The secret room is always lit with strong incense, and incense ash and bamboo charcoal are laid underneath to eliminate odors.

He Lingchuan waved his hand: "No, I'll go by myself." After saying that, he stood up unsteadily.

He seemed to be stepping on cotton, one foot was deep and the other was shallow, and his center of gravity was unstable, but he walked over in the end.

Fang Canran waited outside the secret room for a long time, and suddenly heard a thump, as if something heavy had fallen to the heavy door inside.

He rushed over and took a look, and saw He Lingchuan lying on the ground on the way out.

He squatted down and shook He Lingchuan's shoulders: "Brother He?"

The boy didn't respond.

Fang Canran called twice more, but He Lingchuan still didn't move.

So Fang Canran smiled, took out the rope, muttered a few tips, and then put it on He Lingchuan's hand. The rope automatically tightened and wrapped twice.

Fang Canran pulled twice to make sure it was tight.

At this moment, the wooden window was blown open by the strong wind with a "clang", and suddenly the whole room was filled with wind.

It started raining outside at some point. The cold rain was carried in by the wind and slapped randomly on people's faces.

Fang Canran was afraid that He Lingchuan would be awakened by the wind and rain, so he rushed in and closed the window.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the courtyard and called, "Mr. Fang."

Fang Canran responded: "Say!"

The wind was very loud. This man had already walked from the yard to the door. He leaned against the door and shouted: "General Yang is entertaining guests in Wanxiang Courtyard. Seven or eight people are drunk and are about to leave. But he took out the money to pay the bill." The one hundred taels of silver is, it’s fake, it’s a piece of tin in the middle, do you think?”

Fang Canran immediately said: "Take it and see off the guests as usual. We will take the fake silver to the Yang Mansion tomorrow evening."

"yes!"

Fang Canran heard the footsteps of the people leaving, then walked to the prisoner, lifted him back to the small hall and pressed him on the chair, then took out a golden toad that was half a palm wide and threw it into the golden toad's big mouth. Enter a little Mars.

Not long after, clear smoke came out of the golden toad's mouth. It turned out to be red, blue and black, and the three colors evaporated independently without mixing.

Fang Canran held his breath and placed the golden toad ornament under He Lingchuan's nose.

The three-color smoke got into the prisoner's nose as if guided.

He Lingchuan seemed to be a little uncomfortable and moved a little, and Fang Canran's expression tightened.

Fortunately, the prisoner soon became silent again, and his breathing became softer at the same time.

If anyone else was watching, they would be shocked to see this scene. Boss Fang, the most trusted general manager of the Golden Horn family and a businessman with a big and powerful business, actually personally plotted against someone!

Ordinary people can't think of a reason why he did this. They would only think that this is the highest level of business war.

Fang Canran estimated the time, and after forty breaths, he moved away the golden toad, extinguished the three-color smoke, and performed the wind summoning technique to summon the breeze to blow away the remaining smoke in the air to the back hall, so that he could breathe freely.

He approached He Lingchuan and whispered: "Master He?"

He Lingchuan didn't respond.

He asked again, and He Lingchuan said "hmm" in a daze.

Fang Canran's voice was extremely gentle: "Mr. He, where are you?"

He Lingchuan: "No, I don't know."

"Don't be afraid. You are safe and comfortable. No one will do anything to you... Do you know who I am?"

"have no idea."

Fang Canran asked again: "What is your full name?"

"He Xiao."

"From where?"

"Fu Country."

What Fang Canran used was a three-color soothing cigarette, which can put the user in a relaxed state where he seems to be asleep but not asleep, and seems to be awake but not awake. As long as he is guided well, or the questions are answered, the person involved will not know what happened afterwards. .

This kind of cigarette is perfect for interrogating suspects, without anyone noticing.

Even Fan Sheng was defeated by the man in front of him. Fang Canran didn't think that he could get any advantage from force; but most young people are not determined enough and are easily fascinated by the sensuality of dogs and horses, so he can start from here.

Asking a few regular questions to dispel the captive's subconscious concerns, Fang Canran got to the point: "What are you doing in Lingxu City?"

"Bai Ziqi asked me to come, so I can't do it unless I come."

Everyone in Lingxu City knows his story, and Fang Canran certainly knows what this sentence means.

"And what else do you want to do?"

He Lingchuan's tone was very confused: "What's the matter?"

"Do you have any other important things to do in Lingxu City?"

"I don't know." He Lingchuan was even more confused than him, "Do I have it?"

How does Fang Canran know whether he has or not? He can only ask another question: "What is your relationship with Li Qingge, the master of Songyang Palace?"

"friend."

"How did we meet?"

"I met him when I asked Songyang Mansion to cast a knife for me."

Fang Canran frowned: "You met a few days ago. What did you discuss?"

He Lingchuan moved: "Your Majesty wants to recruit me as a guest elder."

"That's it?" No other plans?

He Lingchuan didn't respond.

Fang Canran asked again: "Do you recognize a signet ring with five whorls on it?"

"I recognize it."

Here’s the key: “How do you recognize it?”

"I have seen."

Fang Canran's heart tightened: "Where have you seen it?"

"In the hands of Fang Canran, the general manager of Dunyuan."

"..." Fang Canran was a little helpless, "Have you seen him before?"

"Yes. To the west."

This answer was far beyond Fang Canran's expectations.

The problem with using three-color smoke to torture answers is that the person being asked loses their logical ability and is like a puppet on a string, making it difficult to give a complete answer.

"Where is the west?"

"West of Bega, further west."

"Where's the place name?"

Fang Canran asked several more times before the other party said: "Linhe City."

Fang Canran's face turned dark as soon as these three words were spoken. His chest rose and fell, as if holding back his breath and said: "The current owner of this signet ring, what do you want to do to him?"

"Fang Canran?"

"right."

He Lingchuan tilted his head: "It's hard to say, it depends on what he wants to do to me."

"Last question." Fang Canran's expression was almost unbearable: "Are you talking nonsense?"

"yes."

Then, He Lingchuan opened his eyes.

His eyes were clear, how could he be a little confused?

Fang Canran's dagger was also placed on He Lingchuan's neck.

"Manager Fang, is this how you treat guests?" He Lingchuan shook his tied hands. Fang Canran took a look and found that the rope was still very tight, so he felt relieved.

He Lingchuan could pretend to be unconscious and answer questions, but he was unwilling to suffer the disadvantage of being mute.

Being at a disadvantage in the first encounter will only make Fang Canran look down on him and think he can play with him as he pleases.

It is said that although his story was widely circulated in Lingxu City, others only knew that Cen Boqing sent someone to assassinate him, but they did not know the specific method.

I guess Fang Canran didn't find out, otherwise he would have been more cautious about poisoning and lighting up three-color cigarettes after hearing that even the spell masters had failed to kill He Lingchuan.

Fang Canran let out a long, long sigh: "How great would it be if you were unconscious, confessed honestly, and then woke up without knowing anything?"

If the three-color calming smoke takes effect and He Lingchuan wakes up and doesn't remember what he said or what he experienced, and just thinks that he was in a trance after drinking, wouldn't everyone be happy?

This special envoy from Chiyan had made such a big name in Lingxu City that no one else could touch him, so Fang Canran wanted to use this method to spy quietly. After asking, he snapped his fingers and both parties could happily eat and drink together as if nothing had happened.

He Lingchuan shook his head: "The smell of your cigarette is so strong that I woke up as soon as I smelled it."

Fang Canran was a little depressed. He had not used three-color cigarettes a few times. This thing still varies from person to person, and the dosage is difficult to control.

Now that He Lingchuan has seen through it and the tacit understanding between the two parties has been broken, then——

"The scene is not good now."

"Why don't you untie it for me?" He Lingchuan looked at him and raised his chin, "So many people in Pianxiang Villa saw you and I leaving together, and they are all witnesses. If you untie the rope now, maybe I will forget the blame."

He looked confident, and Fang Canran sat up straight: "It's okay if you're awake, so we don't have to talk nonsense. Where did you know about this threaded ring?"

He Lingchuan couldn't laugh or cry: "You're going to tie someone up because of this trivial matter? Mr. Fang, you've gone too far!"

He struggled twice, but the rope contracted and tightened, causing him to hiss in pain and his face was a little distorted.

Seeing that he was unable to break free, Fang Canran took back the dagger: "This is the Earth Immortal Rope, which can bind the true power."

Otherwise, with He Lingchuan's strength, it wouldn't be a matter of minutes to break free from an ordinary rope? "I'm just looking at the ring. If you don't believe it, forget it."

Fang Canran looked at him as if he was arrogant: "You haven't said anything since I gave you opportunities several times, so don't blame me."

After several contacts, he was tired of testing and didn't want to leave such a hidden trap.

He Lingchuan was stunned: "What do you want to do? What do you dare to do?"

With so many witnesses, Fang Canran dared to kill him?

The chief steward of the Golden Horn family had always behaved gracefully before. Is this extreme appearance now his true face?

Fang Canran poured a glass of wine and pushed it in front of him: "Toast, tell me the whole story clearly, I can spare your life."

He Lingchuan saw that he took out another soft leather bag and spread it out. Inside was a variety of metal tools, including scissors, knives, tweezers, clamps, hammers, and some strange shapes that were used for unknown purposes.

But everything was polished.

"As punishment for drinking wine, I have twelve types of punishment here and thirty-six types of punishment here. You have to taste each one before you die."

Is it appropriate for a big businessman to hide so many instruments of torture?

He Lingchuan sneered: "What so many of my opponents dare not do, General Manager Fang Da wants to do it for them?"

"Those opponents have scruples and are focused on their own wealth and future, so you have room to move around." Fang Canran raised the threaded signet ring and waved it in front of him, "You should know if you always stare at it. , the owner of this ring is never afraid of death!"

The last few words are striking.

Since he had offended He Lingchuan and exposed his own anxiety, he was not afraid of offending him again.

Things go wrong, but there is always something gained, right?

He Lingchuan also stopped struggling and looked at the ring seriously.
