This voice was familiar to Chang Sheng, and he knew who it was even without turning around. He turned sideways and saw that the person standing at the door was indeed Long Haotian, the leader of the Beggar Clan.
Long Haotian's face was full of smiles at this time. This was a smile that came from the heart and could not hide his inner pride.
When Changsheng turned around, Long Haotian had already walked in slowly, "Sir, you are a third-level official in charge of criminal law. As an official of the imperial court, you went to Hejian Mansion incognito and masked yourself to rob the prison. If this matter spreads, Don’t let the civil and military officials of the entire court laugh their heads off.”
Changsheng did not answer, but tilted his head and looked outside the door, only to find that there was no one else outside the door except Long Haotian, who had already entered the room.
Seeing Changsheng looking out, Long Haotian didn't care. He took out the flint and lit the candle again, then sat down on the bench next to the wooden table, "Sir, don't look. I am the only one coming here now."
Changsheng believed that Long Haotian was telling the truth, because Long Haotian had no need to lie to him. Now he had fallen into the other party's trap, and Long Haotian had the absolute initiative.
There were some leftover dried bean curds and some braised food on the table. Long Haotian didn’t mind the leftovers. He casually grabbed a piece of dried bean curd and stuffed it into his mouth. “Sir, there is nothing in this world that is not airtight.” Wall, do you really think we don’t know your relationship with them?”
Li Zhongyong was confused at first, but after hearing Long Haotian's words, he immediately understood that the other party had used him to set a trap, aiming to lure Changsheng to come.
Chang Sheng knew why Long Haotian didn't take action. Long Haotian had coveted the Heavenly Silkworm Magic Art for a long time. Before he obtained the Heavenly Silkworm Magic Art, Long Haotian would not take action rashly.
Thinking of this, he turned to look at Li Zhongyong, "Second Senior Brother, were you just arrested yesterday?"
Li Zhongyong nodded slowly, "Yesterday morning, a villager hanged himself in front of my house. The victim refused to give up and reported it to the official. The police brought me to the government office for questioning. I didn't think much about it. I just wanted to find out. If they tell the whole story, they will let me go back, so they can keep me in custody till now."
Hearing Li Zhongyong's words, Chang Sheng curled his lips and sneered. The matter was clear at a glance. The file he had seen from the Punishment Department earlier was a fake. It was a trap set for him by the people from the Punishment Department and the Beggar Clan. His concern led to chaos and he was eager to rescue Li Zhongyong. , not knowing whether it was true or false, he ran over blankly.
Long Haotian said, "Sir, your second senior brother secretly provided gold, silver, food and grass to the rebels. This is not framed by us, but it is true. Moreover, his family, including the coachman and servants, is indeed a family of thirteen. .”
"What will you do to my family?" Li Zhongyong asked in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, I haven't done anything to them, at least not yet," Long Haotian said with a smile, "But if Master Yushi withdraws and stays out of the matter, it will be hard to say."
Chang Sheng looked coldly on Long Haotian. The implication of Long Haotian's words was very obvious. As long as he dared to run away, Long Haotian would attack Li Zhongyong and his family.
Long Haotian stuffed a few more dumplings into his mouth, "Sir, it's not me who came up with this bad idea. In fact, we don't have any grudges. It's the Four Villas who are eager to kill you. We take turns to be on duty. In the middle of the night, We will be on duty and they will come here in the middle of the night. It is already halfway through the second watch, so if you want to make things right, we still have half an hour."
"Do you want the Heavenly Silkworm Divine Art?" Changsheng asked knowingly.
Long Haotian chuckled, "You have already practiced the Hunyuan Divine Art, and the Silkworm Divine Art is of no use to you that day. As the saying goes, it is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. I will let your senior brother go in this matter. You will give me the Silkworm Divine Art that day. Me."
Changsheng did not answer the call immediately, but forced himself to calm down and think urgently. To be fair, he had been a little relaxed during this period of peace. He was only thinking about how to gather money and fight against the eunuchs, but he ignored the Beggar Clan and the Four Villas. Long Haotian has always coveted the magical power of Tiancan, and although Situ Yanggang's death was not his intention, it was also caused by him. Not to mention Dongfang Chen, his hand was severed by him. The four major villas hated him so much that they couldn't help but seek revenge.
Sometimes carelessness can be fatal. If you are careless and forget about it, it does not mean that the other party has also forgotten about it. At this time, the disadvantages of carelessness will appear, and you will fall into extreme passivity.
In fact, he didn't mind handing over the Heavenly Silkworm Magic to Long Haotian. Who allowed himself to be careless and make a mistake? Since he made a mistake, he must bravely bear the consequences and accept the punishment.
But the current problem is that even if he hands over the Heavenly Silkworm Magic to Long Haotian, Long Haotian will not let him, Li Zhongyong and his family leave peacefully. As long as he hands over the Heavenly Silkworm Magic, it will immediately lose its use value. Long Haotian and the Four Villas are not fools. They all know the consequences of letting the tiger return to the mountain. If he is allowed to return to Chang'an smoothly, he will definitely carry out crazy revenge. Therefore, regardless of whether Long Haotian obtains the Heavenly Silkworm Magic, the Beggar Clan and the Four No big villa will let them go.
"You don't keep your word, I don't trust you." Chang Sheng said seriously.
"Why did I break my promise? I don't seem to have done anything to break my promise." Long Haotian said.
Chang Sheng did not answer the question. In fact, he wanted Long Haotian to let Li Zhongyong go first, but he knew very well that if he proposed it, Long Haotian would definitely not agree. The only way at the moment was to take advantage of Long Haotian's eagerness to take advantage of him. The psychology of Tiancan Shengong forced him to take the initiative to let Li Zhongyong go.
Changsheng originally thought that Long Haotian would hesitate for a while, but he didn't expect that Long Haotian said immediately, "Sir, how about this? I'll let your senior brother and his family go first, and then you can transcribe the formula of the Tiancan Magic Technique to me."
Changsheng was quite surprised when he heard this, "Aren't you afraid that I will lie to you?"
"Don't be afraid," Long Haotian shook his head, "To be honest, although we are mortal enemies, I believe in your character, but you have to swear that as long as your senior brother and his family leave Hejian Mansion smoothly, you will kill Tiancan Write me the magic formula."
Hearing Long Haotian's words, Changsheng frowned. Long Haotian really hit the point. Bad people can swear randomly and break their words, but good people can't. Taoists believe that there are gods three feet above the head, and the oaths they have sworn will be It must be done.
Seeing that Changsheng was still hesitating, Long Haotian said again, "As long as you are willing to swear, we will set off immediately. First, we will go to your senior brother's house and take his family out. After making sure that your senior brother and his family are in a safe place, you can use the Tiancan Magic Art to Give me the formula."
Chang Sheng did not answer immediately after hearing the words, but turned to look at Li Zhongyong. Li Zhongyong frowned and looked guilty.
Changsheng looked away and thought anxiously. Although he had just advanced to the third-hole cultivation level on the way here, the two of them working together may not be Long Haotian's opponent, and Long Haotian must have helpers. Once they take action, even if the two of them can If he retreats, Li Zhongyong's family will surely suffer.
Thinking of Chen Liqiu's heartbreak after Miss Zhao's accident, Changsheng really couldn't bear to let Li Zhongyong go through the same experience again.
After pondering, Changsheng said to Long Haotian, "You go out first, and we will discuss it."
Long Haotian seemed rude and reckless, but in fact he was not stupid. After hearing this, he immediately stood up and went out, "Hurry up, if they come, you won't be able to leave even if you want to."
Changsheng ignored him and whispered to Li Zhongyong, "Second senior brother, what should we do?"
"Lao Wu, I have caused trouble for you." Li Zhongyong felt guilty.
Hearing what Li Zhongyong said, Changsheng knew his attitude. Sometimes, you can't blame a person for being spineless. No man can be without worries when it may bring trouble to his parents, wife, and children.
"Have you ever given money, rice and food to Third Senior Brother?" Changsheng asked.
"I can't just watch him run out of ammunition and food." Li Zhongyong said.
"We can't stay in Hejian Mansion any longer. You can take your family to find Third Senior Brother," Changsheng said. "I have prepared two carriages for you in the woods south of the city. There are luggage and dry food in them."
Li Zhongyong nodded slowly.
"Once you go to Shenzhou, your charge of rebellion will be confirmed. From now on, you will depend on the third senior brother and you will never look back." Changsheng said.
Li Zhongyong smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Changsheng didn't waste any time. He walked to the door and waved to Long Haotian, who was looking around in the courtyard. Seeing Changsheng waving, Long Haotian was overjoyed and hurriedly walked over.
"Do you really believe me?" Changsheng asked.
"Xin," Long Haotian nodded, "Although I am not a good person, I know you are a good person. I have heard about all the things you have done."
"Let's go, help me get the person out first." Changsheng said.
Long Haotian agreed to raise his energy and go first, followed by Changsheng and Li Zhongyong. During this period, Li Zhongyong's spiritual energy cultivation also improved, and his spiritual energy was crimson, and his spiritual energy was promoted to Xuan.
After a while, the three of them arrived at Li Zhongyong's house. Li Zhongyong was good at business and had accumulated a lot of wealth in a short period of time. He lived in a large house with three entrances.
Li Zhongyong's family members were all tied up in the back hall at this time, and were personally guarded by the left guardian Gongsun Chengwei and the right guardian Ouyang Chuanfeng. When the three arrived, the two were eating wine in the house.
Everyone in the Li family had their mouths stuffed with cloth strips, and they all looked happy when they saw Li Zhongyong return.
Regarding Long Haotian's return with Changsheng and Li Zhongyong, Gongsun Chengwei and Ouyang Chuanfeng were surprised. Before the two could ask questions, Long Haotian waved to them and turned to Li Zhongyong and said, "My servant Just don’t take them, we won’t make it difficult for them.”
Li Zhongyong nodded.
Seeing that Li Zhongyong was about to step forward and pull out the strips of cloth on everyone's mouths, Long Haotian quickly waved his hand to stop him, "You will scream after you pull it out. We will talk after we leave the city."
After Long Haotian spoke, he picked up Li Zhongyong's parents without any explanation. Li Zhongyong picked up a young woman, and after being led by Chang Sheng, he flew out of the city and came to the carriage prepared in advance. Since Li Zhongyong was included, There are only four people, so there is no need for two carriages, and a two-horse carriage is used instead.
The situation was urgent and he didn't care about the red tape. After tying the carriage, Li Zhongyong immediately shook the reins and urged the horse to gallop south.
At this moment, a fire broke out in the city. Looking back carefully, the place where the fire broke out was the house where Li Zhongyong lived before.
"What did you do?" Changsheng frowned and looked at Long Haotian.
"Kill people to silence them, destroy their corpses and eliminate all traces." Long Haotian said casually, "Those servants have seen my appearance and know that I let you go and can't keep you."
Seeing Chang Sheng looking at him angrily, Long Haotian curled his lips and smiled, "Why are you glaring at me? You also know that I am not a good person."
Before Changsheng could speak, Long Haotian raised his hand and pointed north, "Do you see it?"
Even if Long Haotian didn't remind him, Changsheng also saw several purple auras moving quickly in the city. Long Haotian didn't lie. The four major villas were in the city. If he had acted recklessly before, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"How do you explain to them?" Changsheng asked.
Long Haotian curled his lips and said, "I only said that I fell into your plot and couldn't stop you."
"Whoever cooperates with you is out of luck." Changsheng said.
"You should be lucky to have met me," Long Haotian disagreed. "I only want your Heavenly Silkworm Magic, and what they want is your life."
"Do you know that you ruined their big deal?" Changsheng asked again.
"That's bad, their big thing is not my big thing," Long Haotian said lightly, "What's more, they didn't consider me at all. They asked me to arrest you and torture you to extract a confession, and then kill you after forcing you to reveal the secret book. Damn it, grandma. Torture is not good for people like you. In the end, they beat you to death and they were relieved. I have been busy for a long time and didn't catch anything. When the time comes, Longhu Mountain will track it down. It's bad luck. It’s still me.”
Immortality is speechless. Some people may have bad moral character, but their minds cannot be underestimated.
"By the way, is it Eunuch Yang's intention to kill me?" Changsheng asked.
"You haven't sworn yet. Swear first and then I'll tell you." Long Haotian said.
"Okay, I swear to give you the complete and detailed formula of the Heavenly Silkworm Magic Technique. Tomorrow night you go to the door pier on the right side of the entrance to Qingyun Mountain to get it." Changsheng said.
Seeing Changsheng's oath, Long Haotian felt relieved, "It's definitely true. There's no need to ask. You're looting homes everywhere to make money. Even a blind man knows that you're saving money for the puppet emperor. Do you really think those old eunuchs are stupid? Can’t see who you are? You are paralyzing others, and others are paralyzing you.”
"You are such a traitor. You have no loyalty at all. Anyone who works with you will be killed by you sooner or later." Changsheng glanced at Long Haotian.
"You are a good person and you are loyal. Sooner or later you will die because of your loyalty. If you don't believe me, just give it a try." Long Haotian scoffed.
As the saying goes, there is no need to speculate, Chang Sheng ignored Long Haotian, turned around and ran out of the woods.
Young Master Hei was very smart. As long as he was in a hurry, Young Master Hei would think that he was in danger and would take the initiative to greet him. Before he had run far, Young Master Hei ran over from the northeast. Changsheng got on his horse and headed west quickly.
There is no doubt that Long Haotian is a bad person, and giving Long Haotian the Heavenly Silkworm Magic Power is actually helping others to do evil, but you can't go back on what you promised, and you can't break your promise just because the other person is a bad person.
The misfortune must be the misfortune. I was still too young and didn't think things through enough, so I fell into other people's ways.
But it's not a big deal, because once the clue about Li Zhongyong is grasped by the other party, the other party will use it sooner or later. It's just a matter of one day sooner or one day later.
Thinking about it carefully, my response today was quite appropriate. Although I lost the Heavenly Silkworm Magic, I still saved Li Zhongyong and his family. The most important thing is that Long Haotian also bought one and got one free, which revealed the details of the Eunuch Party. It turned out that from the beginning The eunuchs knew that he was from the emperor, but they just pretended not to know, in order to paralyze him.
At this time, it was still snowing in the sky. Chang Sheng galloped on his horse and returned quickly. At this time, his heart was full of anger. Fortunately, the enemy had a Long Haotian who disregarded the overall situation and benefited himself at the expense of others. Otherwise, he would have died here today. .
After escaping from death, the biggest thought at this time is revenge. After returning home, I will immediately go to the Ministry of Punishment to operate...
