Chapter 791: Hidden Disaster

With that said, he stood up and walked to the cell door.

"By the way," Li Yang looked back at Zhang Hui, "your master asked me to tell you that he will wait for you to return."

When Zhang Hui heard this, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, but he did not speak.

Li Yang didn't say much, turned around and left the prison.

In the cell, Zhang Hui leaned against the wall and fell into deep thought.

His mind kept replaying everything that had happened in the past few days, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.

"Father..." he murmured to himself, "Am I...going the wrong way?"

...

At the same time, in a secret mansion somewhere in the capital.

A middle-aged man in rich clothes was sitting in the study, looking solemnly at the short figure in gray robe in front of him.

"You mean... Zhang Hui was arrested?" the middle-aged man asked with a frown.

The man in gray robe nodded: "Yes, it seems that he was captured by National Master Li Yang himself."

The middle-aged man's face darkened: "Damn it! This Li Yang is really not simple... It seems we have to speed up our plan."

The man in gray robe pondered: "Sir, do you want me to rob the prison and rescue Zhang Hui?"

The middle-aged man waved his hand: "No need. Zhang Hui has lost its use value. If he keeps it, it may become a hidden danger."

"Then..." The man in gray robe hesitated.

The middle-aged man smiled coldly: "You know what to do."

The man in gray robe bowed his head respectfully: "I understand. I will make arrangements right away."

After the man in gray robe left, the middle-aged man stood up and walked to the window.

He looked out the window at the bustling capital, with a cold flash in his eyes.

"Li Yang, Li Yang...you really have a few tricks up your sleeve. But..." a strange smile appeared on the middle-aged man's lips, "the game has just begun."

...

In the Yamen, Li Yang was reporting the case to the emperor.

"I have successfully captured the murderer and understood the whole story."

Li Yang said slowly.

The emperor nodded, with a rather pleased expression on his face:

"Very good! Has the murderer revealed the person behind it?"

Li Yang shook his head: "It's a pity that the murderer claimed to be avenging his father."

"But according to my judgment, I'm afraid there is another hidden reason behind this matter."

"Oh?" The emperor became interested, "What do you think, Taoist Master?"

Li Yang said in a deep voice: "There may be a remnant force of the Poison Dragon Cult lurking in the court..."

"They secretly confuse people who are depressed and lead them to go astray."

"The murderer in this case was probably used by them."

When the emperor heard this, his face suddenly became solemn: "Is this true?"

Li Yang nodded solemnly: "Maybe...this force acts secretly and has an unknown purpose."

"If it is not eradicated in time, it will inevitably become a serious problem for Daxing."

The emperor pondered for a moment and asked, "In the Taoist opinion, how should we deal with it?"

Li Yang replied: "I suggest not to alert the enemy for the time being."

"We can use this murderer to follow the clues and find out who is behind the Poison Dragon Cult."

"At the same time, we can also take this opportunity to thoroughly investigate the truth about Mr. Zhang's case."

The emperor nodded: "Okay! Then let the Taoist Master handle this matter with his full authority."

"I will decree that all departments will fully cooperate with your investigation."

Li Yang bowed and said, "I will live up to your majesty's great trust."

The emperor waved his hand: "Go. Remember, this matter is of great importance, so you must proceed with caution."

"I obey the order." Li Yang respectfully exited the hall.

After walking out of the palace, Li Yang let out a sigh of relief.

Now that the matter has come to this, he will eventually find out the truth and create a bright future.

"Come here," Li Yang ordered the guards around him.

"Go and ask Mr. Zhang to come to the Yamen."

"Let's just say...it's time to give him some justice."

After Li Yang returned to the Yamen, he immediately summoned several of his men.

They need to formulate a careful plan, not only to find out the truth about the Poison Dragon Cult, but also to ensure Zhang Hui's safety.

"Although Zhang Hui is temporarily detained, his situation is still very dangerous."

Li Yang said in a deep voice, "I doubt that the people from the Poison Dragon Cult will let him go easily."

One of the men asked: "Do we need to strengthen the security of the cell?"

Li Yang shook his head: "No, that would arouse suspicion."

"What we have to do is to make Zhang Hui look defenseless, but in fact he is secretly protecting him."

He turned to another subordinate: "Go and arrange for a few skilled people to disguise themselves as prisoners and sneak into the prison."

"Then, keep an eye on Zhang Hui's movements at all times."

"Yes." The subordinate followed the order and left.

Li Yang continued: "In addition, we need to find out Zhang Hui's whereabouts during this period."

"Look at the suspicious people he's been in contact with."

At this moment, a guard hurriedly ran over: "Master Imperial Master, Master Zhang Hongyuan has arrived."

Li Yang nodded: "Invite him in."

After a while, Zhang Hongyuan walked into the room.

Although it had only been a few days, the old man seemed much older.

"Master Zhang, please sit down." Li Yang gestured.

After Zhang Hongyuan sat down, he went straight to the point: "Master Imperial Master, why are you calling me here?"

Li Yang said sternly: "Master Zhang, to be honest, we suspect that Ah Hui has been taken advantage of."

"What?" Zhang Hongyuan was shocked.

Li Yang simply told Zhang Hongyuan his guess.

After listening to this, the old man's face became extremely ugly.

"How...how is this possible?" Zhang Hongyuan muttered to himself, "How could Ah Hui..."

Li Yang comforted him: "Master Zhang, don't blame yourself. The people of the Poison Dragon Cult are cunning. Ah Hui is young and energetic, so it is inevitable that he will be deceived for a while."

Zhang Hongyuan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down: "Then...what should we do now?"

Li Yang said: "We are going to let Ah Hui assist in the investigation. Not only to find out the truth about the Poison Dragon Cult, but also to restore the truth of your son's case."

Hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Zhang Hongyuan's eyes: "Really?"

Li Yang nodded: "Yes. The emperor has ordered the case to be reopened... Sir Zhang, I need your help."

Zhang Hongyuan immediately said: "Master Imperial Master, please give me your orders. I, Zhang Hongyuan, will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Li Yang smiled slightly: "Okay, then first of all, I need you to recall whether there were any unusual things before and after the case."

Zhang Hongyuan frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Oh! I remember... About half a month before the case, he did mention a strange thing."

"Oh? What is it?" Li Yang became interested.

Zhang Hongyuan recalled: "He said he met a fortune teller on the street, who said he had an extraordinary face and would become a great man in the future."

"He also gave him a jade pendant, saying it was a magic weapon that could bring good luck and avoid misfortune."

Li Yang's eyes flashed: "Where is the jade pendant now?"

Zhang Hongyuan shook his head: "I don't know... After the incident, our house was raided and everything was confiscated."

"The jade pendant should be among them."

Li Yang thought: "This matter is very serious."

"Master Zhang, I need you to check and see if you can find the whereabouts of the jade pendant."

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Zhang Hongyuan stood up.

Li Yang warned: "Remember, you must be careful. Don't alert the enemy."

Zhang Hongyuan nodded and left in a hurry.

Li Yang looked at Zhang Hongyuan's back, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

Just then, a subordinate hurried over: "Master, it's not good! Zhang Hui... Zhang Hui..."
