Su Daocheng stepped forward and placed a small seal that had never been shown to anyone in a groove on the rockery.
Soon, the rockery shook, revealing a narrow passage.
It was a little dark inside, but thankfully there were oil lamps lit on the walls every few steps, so it wasn't too dark.
After going down for a while, the road ahead became wider.
The ground here is paved with stone slabs and looks quite spacious and clean. There is a hall in front and there are four forks in the road in different directions.
A whole team of Silver Feather Guards that Xiao Lingling had never seen before was guarding here. When they saw the emperor coming, they immediately stepped forward to salute.
Su Daocheng put the little bell down and waved at them casually, "Go, bring that man to me. I want to interrogate him personally!"
The Silver Feather Guards acted quickly and someone went to pick up the person immediately.
Su Daocheng walked forward holding the little bell and went straight into the innermost room.
It was a very spacious place, with a very imposing chair placed at the innermost part. The surrounding walls were covered with various torture instruments, some of which were stained with blood that had long since dried.
The smell here was really unpleasant, and Xiao Lingling frowned subconsciously.
Su Daocheng's mind was full of his guesses and he didn't pay attention to her expression until the man was brought up.
It was obvious that he had not lived a good life. His clothes were already tattered and could only barely cover his body. His hair was messy and stained with blood and clumped together. There were all kinds of bruises on his body, making him look somewhat miserable.
It was the first time that Xiao Lingling saw such a scene, and she turned her head away feeling a little uncomfortable.
Su Daocheng had him tied tightly to a chair, and then asked everyone else to go out and guard.
The man didn't seem afraid either. He just lowered his head and said nothing.
Su Daocheng tried his best to resist the urge to strangle the person to death, "I heard that Xiang Fei has a master behind her, and all the messages are sent through you.
Tell me, who is that person? How do you usually contact each other? Do you have any tokens or secret codes?
Su Daocheng tried his best to make his voice sound calmer, but the other party still had no reaction. He kept his head down and said nothing.
Su Daocheng clenched his fists, but still persuaded, "If you tell me, maybe I can give you a quick death, but if you don't tell me, then you will have to continue living a life worse than death.
Besides, whether you said it or not, his plan had already failed. It had already failed from the moment you were exposed.
No matter if it's Concubine Xiang, Su Jingchen, or Su Zhaorou, none of them can escape. As long as they're gone, the person behind them is just a toothless tiger. I'm not afraid of them! "
Perhaps Su Daocheng's words touched something, and the man's eyes changed obviously for a moment.
However, when Su Daocheng thought he was about to speak, he did not move.
Su Daocheng really had no patience for this matter, and immediately called people to torture him.
Little Bell seemed to sense something was wrong. She jumped down from the chair, walked quickly to him, bent down, stared at his face, and looked around.
Suddenly, she chuckled, "Ha, I discovered your secret."
The man's eyes narrowed inexplicably, and he was a little scared.
But he reacted quickly and remained unmoved.
Su Daocheng was a little curious, "Little Bell, what did you find?"
Little Bell smiled and said nothing. She took out a small bag of powder from her bosom and said, "Don't worry, Father. I'll show you a magic trick."
As she spoke, she came to the table, poured out a glass of water, sprinkled the medicine powder in and mixed it. Soon the water became a little turbid.
Xiao Lingling came to the man with a cup and obviously noticed that something was wrong with him.
His breathing became heavier, his body tensed, and his eyes were fixed on the teacup in her hand. Even Su Daocheng beside him could see that something was wrong with him.
Xiao Lingling didn't care at all. She pinched his chin so that he couldn't hide and poured the water directly on his face.
Immediately afterwards, water dripped down drop by drop, fell to the ground, and turned into white dots.
Seeing that it was almost done, Xiao Lingdang said to Su Daocheng, "Father, please bring some more clean water."
Su Daocheng didn't understand what was going on, so he just came over with the teapot. Xiao Lingling took it and thrust it directly into the man's face.
Soon, a very tiny crack began to appear on his forehead.
Little Bell chuckled, threw the teapot aside, grabbed the gap and quickly tore it off, revealing a completely different face.
Su Daocheng looked at Xiao Lingling's injured "face" which was as thin as a cicada's wing. What was there to not understand now!
After all this fuss, this person turned out to be a fake?
Good! Good, he was tricked again?
No wonder he refused to say anything!
Su Daocheng was furious, "Someone come! Someone come!"
The Silver Feather Guard at the door came in upon hearing the voice, "Master, I'm here!"
"Take his blood and compare it with Su Jingchen. Go now. I want to know the result immediately."
Last time, he just asked someone to compare the blood of Su Jingchen and his sister with his own. After knowing that they were not his children, he forgot to compare them with this man.
Maybe because he was caught in bed with his wife, he intuitively thought the child was his.
But now that he knew this person was fake, in order to confirm his guess, he naturally had to test him again.
Sure enough, as soon as his order came out, the man froze immediately.
Su Daocheng's mind suddenly sank. If it was just a guess before, now he could be sure.
He felt a chill on his back instantly. Fortunately, he discovered it. If he hadn't discovered it, wouldn't their entire Qingyang be stolen by the villain?
Whenever he thought of this possibility, he felt so angry that he was itching to death.
"Little Bell, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. Father will be out for a moment and will be back soon."
He had to capture Su Jingchen, otherwise once the person behind the scenes found out that he knew the truth, there was no telling what he would do.
Even though Su Jingchen is not his son, he still has the identity of a prince to the outside world, which still poses a great hidden danger. Therefore, he must get him into his own hands.
As soon as he went out, he immediately arranged for people to set out at full speed to catch the people. He just hoped that the fact that he sent Qin Shuxiang and her daughter away yesterday did not alarm the person behind it.
Compared to Su Daocheng's anxiety, Xiao Lingling was very calm. She drank tea leisurely and looked at the man from time to time.
She didn't ask in a hurry, but spoke slowly after a moment, "Emmmm, you are a little pitiful. Your wife and son seem to be dead."
The man suddenly looked up and looked at Xiao Lingling in disbelief.
How could it be? He hadn't said anything, and his true identity had only just been revealed. How could she know he had a wife and children?
Impossible, absolutely impossible, she must be cheating him!
