The speed of Hu Leibao was faster than Chen Tang imagined.
In an hour and a half, he had arrived near Changze County.
Chen Tang dismounted, patted Hu Lei Bao's body, and said: "You can go alone, stay close to here and don't go far, and then listen to my whistle before coming out."
The Hulei Leopard has a wild temperament. Even if it is tied to a tree, it will bite off the reins. It is better to let it play by itself.
Hu Leibao raised his horse's head to show that he understood.
Then he ignored Chen Tang, kicked off the official road, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Chen Tang headed towards Changze County.
Not long after, they came to a remote place. There were lights on in one of the houses, and there was a man standing at the door with a bamboo stick in his mouth. It was Meng Liangyu.
The two agreed to meet here tonight.
When Chen Tang walked into the house, Meng Liangyu smiled and said, "You arrived earlier than I thought."
"Is it going well?"
Chen Tang asked.
Meng Liangyu's smile faded and she said in a deep voice: "The Wolf Gang is scared, and their reaction was beyond our expectations. It's just that there are some variables on the Blackwater Gang's side. It is said that two deacons came from the hall above. An eighth-grade warrior."
"Our original plan was to assassinate Cong Qingyi, the helmsman of the Blackwater Gang, at the banquet and provoke a fight between the two gangs. But with two eighth-level warriors sitting in charge, it may not be easy to succeed."
Chen Tang said: "It doesn't matter, I brought a three-stone bow this time."
Meng Liangyu's eyes lit up.
The power of a three-stone bow is much greater than that of a one-stone bow!
At close range, an eighth-level warrior is defenseless and cannot escape.
Meng Liangyu nodded and said, "Then there is no problem."
Chen Tang asked again: "Is that old Huang coming over tonight?"
Before leaving, Chen Tang had asked Meng Liangyu to invite the head of the county prison to come out.
Although he learned from Niu Er and Cui Yong why Chen Daan was imprisoned, Cui Yong and Niu Er did not know the situation in the prison.
Chen Tang wanted to know what Chen Daan went through in the end in prison and whether he had anything left for him.
"Come on, I'll be there in a minute."
Meng Liangyu said: "Do you want to meet him? He has been in prison all year round, so he probably doesn't recognize you. When the time comes, I can say that you are a friend of mine."
"It's better not to meet him. He may not be able to let go when outsiders are around."
Chen Tang shook his head and said, "I'm listening in the back room. Just help me with a few sentences."
"become."
Meng Liangyu said: "Just go and stay in the back room. I will help you inquire when the time comes. I will definitely be able to get the real thing from him."
Chen Tang nodded, turned around and entered the back room, sat in the darkness, slowly pulled out the long knife, and quietly looked at the last gift that Chen Daan left for him.
Tonight, he will use this knife to settle the score and give Chen Daan an explanation!
…
Less than half a stick of incense.
Meng Liangyu's voice sounded at the door.
"Master Huang, this way."
"Hey, I don't dare to be the boss of Meng. I'm a few years older, so you can just call me Lao Huang."
Through the crack in the window, Chen Tang saw a skinny old man walking not far away. He may have not seen the light of day for a long time, his face was slightly pale, his hands were in his cuffs, and there were layers of wrinkles on his face when he smiled.
"It's appropriate to call you Mr. Huang. Just call me Xiao Meng."
Meng Liangyu laughed and welcomed Lao Huang into the house.
The table in the living room was already filled with dishes and drinks.
"Oh, what a great preparation."
Lao Huang said: "Xiao Meng, don't you have to go to Qingyun Tower to attend the banquet tonight?"
Meng Liangyu said: "Don't be in a hurry, it's annoying to be crowded. Let's have a couple of cups first. Mr. Huang, please sit down quickly. There are no outsiders here, so you're welcome."
"Speaking of which, Mr. Huang, your reputation is greater than that of the county magistrate in our Changze County. It is said outside that you would rather meet the King of Hell than meet Lao Huang."
"Haha, these are just rumors spread by those little people in Shengdou."
Meng Liangyu accompanies Lao Huang, chatting and praising him.
There was a trace of blush on Lao Huang's face, he was slightly drunk, and his chatterbox gradually opened up.
The food has passed three rounds, and the wine has passed the five flavors.
Lao Huang smiled and said: "Xiao Meng, let's not beat around the bush. You came to me because there must be something wrong, right?"
"Ha ha."
Meng Liangyu laughed loudly and said, "Master Huang is indeed a happy person!"
After a pause, Meng Liangyu lowered his voice and said: "There is indeed something wrong. I want to deal with someone. However, his crime is not serious enough. He will probably be released after only a few days in prison. I just want to ask Mr. Huang, Is there any way?"
"Hey! I thought it was a big deal. It's just such a small thing. You can just mention it to me."
Old Huang said: "It's not my fault. In Changze County, Mr. Sun is naturally the biggest. But in this prison, I am the god! The life or death of those who enter this prison is all determined by my thoughts."
"oh?"
Meng Liangyu asked: "What's the truth in this? If the crime is not serious, what can be done?"
"It doesn't matter if the crime is not serious."
Lao Huang waved his hands nonchalantly and said: "After entering prison, there will always be various ways to cause trouble for him. Even a beaten man can't stand the beating of a whip."
"For example, some time ago, there was an Orion named Chen Da'an. In fact, he was not guilty of much crime, and when the new emperor ascended the throne, he was granted amnesty. He should have been released."
"However, he cursed Magistrate Sun in the court, and Captain Cui also came to say hello, so can he still get out alive?"
Meng Liangyu nodded and said, "I seem to have heard of this matter. Chen Da'an seems to be a tough guy and refused to plead guilty in court."
"hehe."
Lao Huang sneered and said: "No matter how hard your bones are, there are still weaknesses. Later, when you fell into my hands, you didn't just surrender and admit your guilt."
"He confessed later?" Meng Liangyu asked with raised eyebrows.
"admit."
Lao Huang said: "I gave him a round of torture, and he fainted several times, but he never confessed. Later, he felt that his time was running out, so he relented and confessed. He wanted me to call his children over and see him at the end. one side."
"Oh, can I do what he wants? Even without Magistrate Sun and Captain Cui saying hello, I still have to treat him!"
Lao Huang took another sip of wine and didn't notice that Meng Liangyu's expression had gradually turned cold.
Meng Liangyu said calmly: "You don't have any grudge against him, so why bother?"
Lao Huang said: "He refused to accept it! When he came to my place, he dared to talk back to me. What happened next? In order to see his child for the last time, he just surrendered and knelt on the ground to beg me."
"If it falls into my hands, there will be no one that I cannot cure."
Meng Liangyu said: "Didn't you go and ask his children to come over?"
"Why don't you pay any attention to him? There are so many things like this in prison, and we don't have any money, so it's a waste of time."
Old Huang said: "However, a few days later, I heard that his children went to the county government and brought Chen Da'an back."
"But what I took away was a corpse, hehe!"
At this point, for some reason, Lao Huang suddenly felt a chill and couldn't help but shudder.
Lao Huang realized that he might have said too much, so he said: "Don't mention him anymore. Xiao Meng, whoever you want to deal with, just mention it to me when the time comes. Among the arresters in Changze County, you are the youngest and have a bright future. , just don’t forget me when the time comes.”
Meng Liangyu said: "I have a friend who might want to meet you."
After saying that, Meng Liangyu stood up and left the room.
