Because the two escorts responsible for seeing off the bride were at the end of the team, although they caused some confusion, they did not affect the previous process in the end.

Only the ceremonial officer responsible for managing the wedding party looked at the two guards being taken away, and felt a flash of uneasiness in his heart.

But right now, his top priority is to safely transport Princess Nazhen into Dingguo Marquis Residence.

Although the commotion caused by these two people has a considerable impact, it is nothing compared to the important event of the princess.

Thinking of this, the official put away his thoughts and focused all his attention on the marriage.

On the other end, after the two guards were taken away, they met the first-class Guards Suotu who came to investigate halfway.

Chu Jinghui's Yuhu is coming soon, and he must ensure absolute safety along the way.

Seeing the two people in escort outfits being brought over, Suotu frowned and said in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

The soldier in charge of the escort took a step forward when he saw it was Suotu.

"Returning to Guard Suotu, these two were originally in the procession of sending off the bride, but for some reason they started fighting with each other, which seriously affected the process of the procession."

"The kids were afraid of an accident, so they arrested the two of them first and prepared to take Capital Prefecture Office back."

"You actually dare to cause trouble in Princess Northern Liang's wedding party? You are so courageous!"

Suotu circled around these two people, suddenly his face darkened and he said, "There is no need to send Capital Prefecture Office, just leave it to me."

"This, Guard Suotu, is this not appropriate?"

The two soldiers were in a bit of a dilemma.

Because although Suotu is a close guard in front of the emperor, under normal circumstances, Imperial City insiders would not choose to intervene in such an incident. This falls under their Capital Prefecture jurisdiction.

"Don't worry, I just saw something wrong with these two people, so I wanted to interrogate them myself."

"After all, the emperor's chariot is coming soon, and there is no room for any mistakes."

After hearing what Suotu said, the two soldiers couldn't think of anything to refute, so they handed the two deliberate troublemakers into the hands of Suotu.

"Watch them carefully, I will interrogate them myself later!"

"Yes!"

The two men were taken to a secluded place and were heavily guarded.

Suotu checked everything on the way back and forth, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he quickly turned back and came to the place where the two guards were guarded.

"Tell me, why did you two suddenly start fighting?"

He looked at the two guards and said, "Don't you know where and when you are and what you are doing?"

They actually fought each other with fists and kicks when a princess was seeing off her bride.

To Suotu, such behavior is as incredible as a sudden hysterical attack.

"We, we don't know why we suddenly took action. Sir, we really didn't mean it. Please let us go."

The two people faced Suotu and both knelt down on the ground.

"You don't know the cause and effect? You still want me to let you go?"

"In your opinion, am I, Suotu, such an easy person to fool?"

"I'm afraid only you yourself know where you are from."

Suotu's voice paused. "Come here! Take these two people back to the Imperial Punishment Bureau. I want to ask them personally who they are!"

"Imperial Punishment Bureau?"

As soon as they heard this name, the faces of the two guards suddenly turned pale.

Just like the blood all over the body, it all faded away at that moment.

"What? Don't you dare to go?"

Suotu raised his arm and patted one of the guards on the shoulder. "It's okay if you don't want to go, but please honestly explain what you are here for?"

The guard trembled and murmured for a long time, but he didn't say a word.

This made Suotu sneer, "What? Are you planning to fight to the end?"

"It doesn't matter, I will help you."

The two people were taken to the Imperial Punishment Bureau. As soon as they entered, their legs began to shake.

But I don't know why, but they didn't respond to any of the questions asked by Suotu.

"This looks a bit interesting."

Suotu said, stepped forward and punched one of them in the mouth.

Knocked out two of his teeth.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the other one wanted to bite his tongue and commit suicide, but Suotu used force to remove his mandible.

The man's mouth couldn't close at all, and he could only make some muffled sounds when he wanted to say something.

"Aren't you pretty good at pretending? Why do you want to seek death and survive so quickly?"

Suotu snorted coldly, "It's not that easy."

"Come here, take off the clothes of these two people and check them up and down to see if there are any marks."

"Also, don't miss anything suspicious, including the clothes they are wearing."

Those two people had been drugged by Suotu. They were completely weak and without any resistance, they were stripped naked.

After a few people under Suotu conducted a detailed search, someone suddenly said to Suotu, "Sir, please take a look!"

Suotu leaned over and glanced at the spot behind the ear of the man who was pinned to the ground. Black Mole

"A Black Mole, what's the difference?"

"Sir, this looks like Black Mole on the surface, but it is a three-hole mole. Under normal circumstances, it doesn't happen often."

"But my lord, please look at this one."

The soldier also exposed the other man's ears.

"Behind his ears, he also has a three-hole mole!"

Suotu listened to the soldier's words, his brows furrowed more and more.

If these two people were discovered separately, there might not be any suspicion about this situation.

However, if two people are together, if you look at them horizontally, they both have three-hole moles, and the locations of the moles are exactly the same. This is not normal.

There are coincidences in the world, but there has never been such a coincidence.

If so, it can only be attributed to someone doing it intentionally.

In this way, these two people, even though their eyes were glowing red from the previous beating, they actually belong to the same sect.

"Do you choose to tell me yourself, or wait for me to find out?"

After reading about Black Mole, Suotu had already sat down on the Taishi chair and stared at these two people expressionlessly.

"If you do it yourself, you might be able to leave a whole corpse, but if you don't tell me, I will make you live worse than dead!"

Suotu's words made those two people tremble uncontrollably Forbidden Land again.

"You'd better kill us. We really don't know anything. We just came to complete a mission."

"Mission? What mission?" Suotu stood up from the chair.

"Our mission is to send the princess safely into Dingguo Marquis Residence. The rest of the matter has nothing to do with us."

"You... who are you referring to?"
