"Hmm~"
The young man Zhang Xinchao opened his eyes and felt a slight pain in his neck. Then he remembered that he was still in crisis and was not sleeping. He immediately felt a sudden urge to get up.
"Bang!"
But before he could stand up, he hit the ground hard again.
When he came to his senses, he found that his hands and feet were tied, and strange things were stuffed into his mouth, making him unable to speak.
He looked around and saw that this was a room with ladders, rotten boards and thatch all around. It must have been a place where sundries were kept.
In the distance, my sister and her mother were simply tied to wooden pillars.
Vaguely he felt something moving on his right, so he turned his head...
A big wooden head stared at him in an unintelligent manner, with two huge glowing eyes that were so sinister that it frightened him into retreating like a caterpillar. It wasn't until he saw that it was the sword and shield puppet he had seen before that he calmed down a little.
The sword and shield puppet seemed to want to help him sit up, so he came over and lifted him up against the wall.
The corners of Zhang Xinchao's mouth twitched, he was saying thank you!
Uh-huh!
Yan Wu's figure suddenly appeared, startling the three of them.
When they saw Yan Wu again, the three people's emotions obviously fluctuated again. They obviously knew that the person in front of them was a monk at the Golden Core stage, and tying them up would not end well.
"Don't be nervous. I didn't kill you. I just rescued you from the men in black."
Yanwu signaled the three of them not to be too nervous, and then said slowly, "I have something to ask you. You said that the three of you are obviously ordinary people. What is the reason why others should send Jindanqi to arrest you? "
The three of them shook their heads.
"You obviously didn't cooperate with me during the day, which makes me very unhappy." Yan Wu shook his head, raised his hand directly, and a sudden burst of blood squeezed Zhang Xinchao's neck.
"Woo!"
Seeing that Zhang Xinchao's face turned red in just a few breaths, and his veins swelled at the same time, the two women spoke anxiously, fearing that Yan Wu would strangle Zhang Xinchao to death.
Yanwu looked at the woman with an unchanged expression, "I will only give you one last chance. If you still say you don't know anything, I will kill your son. If you continue to say you don't know, I will kill your daughter. If you don't do it the third time, I will kill your son." If you know, I will kill you."
"Uh! Yeah!"
Tears fell from the woman's eyes, but when she saw that her son was getting more and more uncomfortable and had difficulty breathing, she still closed her eyes and nodded slowly.
"That's right, just cooperate. I want to hear something that can make others send golden elixirs to snatch it. What is it?" Yan Wu waved his hand gently, and his spiritual energy removed the things from the woman's mouth.
"woo woo woo woo."
The woman was still sobbing softly at this time, which made Yan Wu frown in displeasure.
In the quiet room, the only sound was the sobs of the two women. After crying for a while, the woman put away her grief and slowly raised her eyes that were red from crying.
"It's evidence..."
She seemed to have used up all her strength to answer, "It is evidence of the City Lord's Mansion's corruption and violations of the law over the years and its bribery to the Minister of Punishment, He Youjia. It even includes the matter of secretly raping civilian girls to the City Lord and He Youjia."
"Oh?" Yan Wu asked tentatively, "Are you sure that the evidence is true?"
"Of course it's true." The woman's emotions were still not calmed down when she spoke. After hearing this, she actually smiled bitterly and said, "Because there is a person recorded in it, I am sure it is true."
"Who? Which person?"
"That's me." The woman spoke in astonishment, "I am a member of the Shao clan in this county. I was considered a well-known lady in the county back then. My parents had a small fortune, and my family's conditions were not bad. At that time, I was still I want to find my ideal husband, he must be handsome, talented, and unwilling to accept the arrangement of his parents."
"Once because I had a tantrum with my parents, I planned to go out to listen to poetry, but..."
"It turned out that that time, I met the then manager Zhang. He followed me directly back to Shao Mansion to propose marriage. My parents couldn't afford to offend them, so they could only keep teasing them politely. I was young and arrogant and ignorant at the time, so I stood on the screen Then I scolded him for being old and dishonest, after all, he is nearly twenty years older than me."
Speaking of which, Yan Wu had already guessed what would happen next.
The two siblings on the side opened their eyes subconsciously when they heard this. They always thought that their parents loved each other, but they didn't expect that their mother would still have such a past.
"That night, the Shao Mansion was forcibly broken into by the City Lord's Mansion and the City Guards. My parents were imprisoned on random charges. Manager Zhang came to my house and looked at me with a smile again. That smile made me feel sick. But I had no choice but to beg for mercy from him and agree to marry him in the hope of preserving the family."
"Unexpectedly, after marrying me, this old guy still made a crime for my parents and everyone in the family to be executed. When I tried to reason with him, he whipped me. Later, I didn't dare to anger him anymore, so I just behaved. Got a safe woman. Until now..."
"It records how he treated my Shao family, where he buried important members of my family after killing him, and the location of his own small treasury. Other evidence also involves many important figures in the Ditingyuan and the City Lord's Mansion."
The woman shook her head and cried again, "I will give you all the wealth of the Zhang family and all these things. I hope you will spare our lives."
After saying that, he planned to kowtow to Yan Wu.
A ray of spiritual energy stopped her from knocking down.
"What's going on with your brother?" Yan Wu looked at her eyes as he spoke, trying to tell whether she was telling the truth or a lie.
Shao said directly without any hesitation this time, "That was a young man who was supported by my father when my family was still prosperous. He secretly provided him with spiritual resources for him to practice. At that time, we treated him as brother and sister. Later, my family If something goes wrong, he secretly contacted me who married into the Zhang family and was willing to help me."
"He was a kid with no money and no power. How could he help me? I secretly continued to provide him with money to help him practice. Unexpectedly, he successfully joined Qingfeng Xiaoyu Tower, and later he actually helped me with some small favors. For example, I saw If any slave or maid is displeased, he will be asked to help clean it up."
"I'm afraid Manager Zhang knows about his existence, right?" When Yan Wu spoke, Jiang Yun recalled the thrilling scene just now.
Blood Blade's Jin Danqi obviously knew the identity of his younger brother in black, and he directly revealed his identity as Qingfeng Xiaoyulou. I'm afraid that person's identity had already been known to Manager Zhang and He Youjia.
"Yes, they may have known that I have a younger brother from Qingfeng Xiaoyulou, but they probably don't know the specific identity of my younger brother." Mr. Shao smiled bitterly, "It was only later that I realized that the old man was testing me, so I quickly stopped. I lost contact with my brother and only recently reconnected.”
He looked scared and didn't look like he was lying.
"Give me the evidence, and I will keep you safe." Yanwu waved his hand again, removing the ropes and other items from the three people, and restored their freedom.
Seeing that the woman was still about to speak, Yanwu interrupted him directly, "Don't bargain with me. If you are willing to live for you, if you are not willing to live for you, I will die. I don't even need to do it myself, just throw you to the gate of Ditingyuan. It will make your life worse than death in the future, you should understand that I am not trying to scare you."
"I have no conflict of interest with you. Whether or not I kill you has little impact on me. I'm too lazy to lie to you about this. I only care about the evidence."
The woman hugged her two children, nodded and asked in a low voice.
"who are you?"
"You will know, but not now." Yan Wucai was too lazy to answer her, "Just tell me..."
After tea time, Jiang Yun came to a certain yard and took out a storage ring from the inner layer of a brick from the bottom of the well in the backyard. After examining it carefully, Jiang Yun couldn't help but muttered.
"It's really rich enough."
In addition to the so-called evidence records, there are more than a hundred spiritual crystals in the storage ring.
One spiritual crystal is equivalent to one hundred to three hundred gold cakes, which shows how much money Mr. Zhang has embezzled over the years.
When he reappeared, Yanwu threw the storage ring to the woman.
"Um?"
The mother and son looked at the thirty spiritual crystals inside in surprise, wondering what Yan Wu was going to do.
"I will give you two choices now." Yan Wu said, "First, I will send you away. You can choose a county town that is closer to you. I will send you there tomorrow. From now on, the three of you can fly as high as the sky. , don’t get involved in things here anymore.”
"Secondly, I feel some spiritual energy fluctuations in the bodies of the two children. They must be new to practice. You can go to a small sect of a friend of mine to practice. Although the current conditions of the sect are a bit poor, it has great potential. You don't need to fight after entering. After a few years of hard work, you should soon be able to get in touch with the spiritual practice. As for your mother, she lives in a county town very close to that sect, so you can meet her when you have time."
"Discuss it among yourself and give me an answer later."
The reason why he still had thirty spiritual crystals left was naturally because Jiang Yun was afraid that the two children would not be able to move forward without money on their cultivation journey.
But if they are willing to join the Little Puppet Sect, these things will not matter. Because out of the seventy spiritual crystals, he was planning to give half of them to the little puppet. The Little Puppet Sect is most in need of talents right now. If they are willing to join, it will be a good thing for the Little Puppet Sect.
Based on the Little Puppet Sect's current mental method "Shuntian Heart Sutra", the hope of forming pills is much greater than that of other general sects. In addition, the Xiaopuppet Sect's heart is simple and there are not too many forces involved. Instead, he is helping them. Bundle. Even if the Little Puppet Sect has hidden other mental methods, the mental methods and Taoist methods that can be passed down by the Patriarch, even if they are weaker than the "Shuntian Heart Sutra", will not be weaker than the mental methods of ordinary sects.
Yanwu came out and entered another room.
The younger brother in black who was firmly locked by the formation was locked up here. When he saw Yan Wu coming in, he was relatively calm. He obviously understood that he was now a chopping block and was being slaughtered by others, and resistance would definitely be of no use.
"Do you know who those people are tonight?" Yan Wu asked.
The man in black shook his head.
"They are members of the Blood Blade, and they are colluding with someone from the Ditingyuan behind the scenes." Yan Wu shook his head, "What's your name?"
"Shao Wu."
"What is your status in Qingfeng Xiaoyu Building?"
"Inner disciple."
"Who is your master?"
"The top golden elixir stage, Zang Kun."
Yan Wu was slightly surprised. A person at the foundation building level could actually become a disciple of the top golden elixir? Is there something special about this Shao Wu?
As if aware of Yan Wu's suspicion, Shao Wu's expression remained unchanged, "I am just the registered disciple of the master. The master has two direct disciples of the Golden Core Stage."
"How many golden elixirs are there in Qingfeng Xiaoyu Tower?" Yanwu didn't know whether to believe it or not, but his eyes didn't waver anyway.
"Six golden elixirs, two factions, three on my master's side and three on the leader's side, but behind the leader there is an elder from the early stage of Nascent Soul." Shao Wu is a very sensible person, and he speaks out when he opens his mouth. The value of utilization, "My master is currently under severe suppression, but he is still quite powerful in the sect. If senior has any needs, I can serve him."
"Knowing the current affairs." Yan Wu smiled inexplicably.
Recalling that he had just abandoned his sister when facing the threat of the Golden Core Stage, such a decisive scene showed the cold-bloodedness of this person. He is able to climb up and down in the big sect, and his personality is more or less ruthless.
"I am willing to serve senior, but I beg senior to spare my life." Shao Wu begged for mercy seriously, which actually made Jiang Yun feel strange in his heart, even though he knew that he was begging for mercy and what he said was right.
But it's just too natural, how can you beg for mercy so righteously? Naturally? Don't you have to go through the process? Shouldn't it be that you were threatened by me and then learned that I gave you a chance to live, and then burst into tears and thanked me and were willing to serve?
"Although dealing with you is easy, it is boring." Yanwu thought for a while and said, "Stay here for now. I will come to see you tomorrow night."
"Okay!" Shao Wu agreed readily, making Jiang Yun, who was standing outside the door, even more uncomfortable.
Who is in control of the situation?
