When Tang Zhao heard this, he was stunned and said: "Dark Star Manor and Changfa Manor had a deal?"
Wei Changle said: "You have done it. Trading between manors is very common. The dye from Changfa Manor is very easy to use. It is not surprising that Dark Star Manor wants to use it."
When he said this, he recalled: "Dark Star Manor seems to be a big customer of Changfa Manor. I have seen their transactions several times when I came to Changfa Manor."
Tang Zhao shook his head. It would have been fine if others had paid him back, but since Xing Cang existed and Dark Star was special, he had to think more about it.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe, keep talking."
Wei Changle continued: "That Mr. Xingsan is a good man, I guess. The kind of good man who is more precious than pearls on the Gangliang Mountain. In fact, the Changfa Manor itself is not bad. They will keep the slaves who have consumed their inspiration. I Originally, I wanted to replace a sword slave that had been used up, but Mr. Kozo immediately let everyone in the car go after getting out of the car. He did not want to be a sword slave and asked us to be taken directly to work. This is how he sees us slaves. It’s so miserable. A little kindness can make my work easier.”
Wei Changle sighed and said: "To be honest, you say how comfortable Changfa Manor is and how many good people there are. That's really overrated. But the atmosphere in the manor is quite relaxed in Mengliang Mountain. Here, it can occasionally be accommodated. Some useless people. People don't die often. Mainly because that old guy Xing Cang tolerates them."
Tang Zhao's heart moved, and he thought of the swordsman from Changfa Manor he had seen. Xingwu is a bit slow and simple, while Xingtwelve is Xingcang's diehard loyalist. Xing Jiu seems to have read a little bit, and is more bookish, while Xing Shi San is a little dazed.
There is also Xing Qi, although he is relatively smooth and flattering, but he is essentially the Zheng Yun version of Zheng Liangshan.
These people cannot be said to be very loyal and kind, but they still retain relatively normal personal personalities. It's not particularly distorted. This is already rare for Zengliangshanli, which shows that they still have room to breathe after so many years. Anyway, if you put them all in a cage for a few months, all these characteristics will be washed away.
It seems that the atmosphere of Changfa Manor is indeed okay. If Xing Cang is maintaining it, it means that this person is not distorted, and does not even have the style of Gangliangshan.
Of course, if you are not twisted, you can still commit crimes. It is the most common sin in the world - for profit.
Tang Zhao said: "When you went there, was the old manor owner still alive?"
Wei Changle said: "Yes. Although I have never met him, Mr. Kozo is loyal to the manor owner. According to my observation, the manor owner is no different from ordinary manor owners in character. He is extravagant and lustful, and he can't wait to drink. The last drop of blood of every slave in the manor. If anything, it is that his control of the manor is a little less. The general manager's position in the manor is very important, and there is nothing he can do about it. The old man will give some slaves a way out. Among the slaves I have achieved at that level, there are many people who are grateful to him."
Tang Zhao nodded and asked: "But you don't think highly of him, so you call him Xing Cang?"
Wei Changle said: "I didn't call him an old thief, right? But the one I followed from the beginning was Mr. Kozo. Not only did he save me, but he treated slaves with no respect, but at least as individuals. My job is undercover. , of course, be careful not to have any true feelings for anyone, but you always have the best impression of him. And he is loyal to the owner of the manor, and he is loyal from the bottom of his heart."
"I have been confused for a while. I follow Mr. Kozo, and I should be regarded as the owner of the manor. But I also know that if it were not for the support of the general manager, Changfa Manor would not be so relaxed. Let the old manor owner take over the power. I was afraid that I would have trouble breathing again. So what should my position be? Later I thought about it clearly - it’s none of my business, I’m here to be an undercover agent.”
Tang Zhao smiled and nodded. After working as an undercover agent for a long time, his identity will be confused, which is also a big difficulty. Fortunately, such a dark place as Meng Liang Mountain is unattractive, and there is even less temptation to fall. There will be no undercover agents who defect to Meng Liang Mountain. It's just that it's so depressing and painful that it makes people go crazy.
Wei Changle said: "I originally just thought that if we could successfully destroy Jiangliang Mountain, I would repay the favor by saving Mr. Xingsan's life. But then Deacon Xingsan was killed by Xing Cang."
Tang Zhao said: "Is it the time when the old manor owner died? Because the old owner died, Xing Cang killed all the former cronies and eradicated dissidents?"
Wei Changle said: "No, just the opposite. Mr. Kozo died first. Just a few days before the death of the old manor owner. It can even be said that perhaps it was Kozo's death that triggered the death of the old manor owner. At that time, Mr. Kozo was killed by the old manor. Zhu Wucang assigned a secret mission. Although I couldn't find out the whole story, I heard a hidden sentence: 'How come the old guy Chacha isn't dead yet?'"
Tang Zhao thought to himself: Sure enough. Although Xing Cang's white hair is not conspicuous among the white-haired swordsmen, everyone is not a fool. You can also tell the difference between a real old man and a fake old man. After living too long, he is still too conspicuous. The old manor owner has only been sitting in the position of the manor owner for ten years. In these ten years, he has aged greatly. Fortunately, the old man is still an old man. He has been active and active for so many years. In a place like Mengliang Mountain, wouldn't it be annoying? Suspect?
If old man Xing Cang really lives long enough, then this shouldn't be the first time he encounters this kind of doubt. He may handle it with ease and consistency...
Sure enough, Wei Chang said happily: "Then Mr. Kozo died. I was not here when he died, so I always felt that his death was very sudden. Just a few days later, the old manor owner also died without explanation. Then came the great purge. You said you are excluding dissidents, but I don’t think you can count them as excluding dissidents. In the entire manor, only the old manor owner is qualified to count his dissidents, and he is still suppressed by him. If he wants to resist, he will be killed. Who else does it matter? He just borrows Take the opportunity to kill the swordsman he doesn't like."
"There were originally a total of twelve swordsmen, but seven died. Only Xing Wu, Xing Qi, Xing Jiu, and the two youngest ones, Twelve and Thirteen, were left. Xing Wu was relatively introverted, simple, and a loner. In the past, Xingqi was very good at licking, and he always regarded himself as a lackey of the general manager. Xingjiu may be the only nerd in Zongliang Mountain. The two younger ones have only been promoted recently and don't understand anything, so they stayed."
Tang Zhao immediately said: "Wait a minute - how did he kill so many swordsmen in one go? He only had a few helpers? Did they kill them together? Divide and conquer will also arouse vigilance, right? Did he set a trap to take advantage of others? Not prepared?"
Wei Changle said seriously: "As expected of Brother Zhao, he immediately thought of the key. I didn't see how Mr. Xing San and the old manor owner died before, but I saw the massacre that followed. Xing Cang almost killed them all by himself. , and it was an instant kill at the same time. Well, the rooms in the manor are like cages. Once you get in, you can't get out. Then every table and chair becomes a killing weapon. The whole manor is helping him, and the swordsmen have no room to resist. .”
Bai Hu huffed and said, "Like our Bai Yujing?"
Every plant and tree in Bai Yujing is under the control of Ruyi Sword. Could it be that Changfa Manor is also under his control?
Of course, a swordsman cannot compete with a swordsman, but the principle is the same.
Tang Zhao knocked his hand on the table and said: "I see, this is very important information. In other words, the Changfa Manor may have been the old guy's sword elephant?"
Thinking of this, Tang Zhao couldn't help but sigh: "It's a shame I didn't rush up the mountain."
Of course, with him and the Golden Crow, falling into the sword elephant of a mere swordsman or even a swordsman is nothing, but after all, it is going to cause a stir and attract attention, and that is not good.
If the sword elephant can survive forever, it's almost as if the old guy isn't a swordsman. Tang Zhao didn't realize that he was a swordsman. I wonder if it was because he was able to preserve his sword elephant in a special way, or because he was hiding his strength?
Wei Changle was not a swordsman yet. He could only recount what he saw truthfully, but could not draw any conclusions. He continued:
"Except for the swordsmen, he didn't even spare his slaves. All the suspected sword slaves who were related to the owner and the swordsmen were all killed, and those slaves who were almost powerless were also killed with blood flowing like rivers. . The people who came in the same batch as me were all brought back by Mr. Kozo. They were all suspected, so they were all killed. Most of the people I got to know in the past six months at the manor were people around Mr. Kozo. There was almost no life from top to bottom. Come down. If that old guy Xing Cang allowed the slave to take a breath for so many years and has one merit, then he has committed a thousand sins this time."
There is no contradiction between doing small good deeds and doing big things vigorously and decisively. How could Wei Changle not understand? But as an insider, how could he not feel guilty when he saw familiar people being slaughtered?
"Fortunately, I have retrieved my luggage and escaped by eliminating my own existence with the sword. I even wanted to just disappear like this. Fortunately...fortunately, I have experienced many setbacks, and I am used to it. I can adjust myself. After this disaster, Changfa Manor is in a period of chaos, with few manpower and many loopholes to exploit. These days, I no longer play the same role, but change my identity every now and then, and each time it cannot be too long. . If it takes too long, I will go crazy. I will never have an emotional connection with anyone. I will disappear between replacements, leaving the world without me. I hide from the world, heal myself, and come out a little better. Work. Same thing this time.”
"Xing Cang came down the mountain, so I followed him down the mountain and hid beside him to observe. In the meantime, I sent a message to Si Li and restored my existence, but then I hid again. Although I also know that your team is one of our own, I don't know It's you. I don't want to see anyone, and neither do the people in the department. I'd better continue to hide myself. I didn't realize you were here, otherwise I would have come out to meet you a long time ago. Apart from you, there is no one in this world that I must see. ? Who else has to see me?"
He finally leaned forward and said, "I didn't want you to find me and find me in this way. It's my fault that I almost delayed the business."
Tang Zhao looked at him steadily, reached out and grabbed his hand, and said: "Chang Le... thank you for your hard work."
Wei Changle lowered his head and pursed his lips.
After hearing his experience, Tang Zhao only felt that the pain was long and painful. If it were him, he would never dare to imagine it. He didn't know what to comfort him, and said: "I will definitely take you back this time, back to my hometown! You don't have to go back." Liangshan, just stay with my team. If you stay with our eldest young master, you will feel much better around him."
Wei Changle grinned slightly and said: "I would be in a much better mood when I am by your side. But there is a beginning and an end, and I want to stick to the first task. You don't need to take special care, just give me whatever you want. You are here, What else am I afraid of?"
Tang Zhao held his hand firmly and said, "Yes, don't be afraid. You are a very brave person."
Wei Changle remembered something and said, "By the way, I brought out all the materials that Xing San used to investigate Xing Cang. Do you want to see it?"
