Chapter 166: The Sword Refers to the Iron Sword Gate
Tang Yuan's casual words shocked Xu Ruhai into a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "My lord, my lord......"
"What else?" Tang Yuan raised his eyebrows, as if a sharp sword had been unsheathed, and sword qi was everywhere he looked.
Xu Ruhai was shocked in his heart, and he was busy running his true qi to take precautions.
It is rumored that Tang Yuan's swordsmanship is outstanding in the six gates, and he doesn't want to reach such a terrifying level.
He hadn't seen the Little Sword God Lin Cheng'an, the Only Sword Sect Su Defeat and other Hidden Dragon Tianjiao make a move, but he expected that Tang Yuan would be almost the same compared to him.
Thinking of this, Xu Ruhai's body was shocked, and his heart was even more afraid.
Seeing Tang Yuan stop, Xu Ruhai hurriedly said: "There is a lot of hidden truth in this, and I hope that the adults can give me a chance to defend myself in the next place." ”
Tang Yuan thought about it, and didn't sit down again, he looked at Xu Ruhai with his hands behind his back and said lightly: "You say, I'll listen." ”
Xu Ruhai secretly breathed a sigh of relief to calm down his nervousness, at this time cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his back clothes were also wet with sweat.
Raid your house and destroy your door!
Who would have thought it would be so serious.
In previous years, even if it was found out, Cao Yuanzheng gave a look, and they borrowed the donkey from the slope to share the profits, and the matter was settled.
But this new head catcher is obviously a master who does not enter oil and salt.
He didn't dare to mention the matter of profit sharing.
For fear that a momentary gaffe would annoy Tang Yuan and put himself in a dangerous situation.
"The trafficking of illicit salt is coerced by people, please be aware of it. ”
Xu Ruhai was ruthless, with an open look, and said in a deep voice.
At this time, Tang Yuan showed a look of interest and asked, "Who coerced you?"
Xu Ruhai gritted his teeth and said, "Iron Sword Gate, Xu Hongwu." ”
Tang Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Are you sure you know that there is a deep grudge between me and the Xu Sect Master, so you deliberately framed it?"
"Don't dare!"
Xu Ruhai said: "This is the second time that the master of the Xu family has taken Xu's young son as a hostage and coerced him to traffic illicit salt. ”
Xing Luo suddenly lowered his head in a weak heart, and said in his heart that adults should not care about this matter.
However, the next moment his heart sank, and his wish was shattered.
"Huh?"
Tang Yuan frowned, and his gaze shifted to Xing Luo.
Xing Luo hurriedly took a step, bowed down and saluted: "Lord Qiyu, it was a dereliction of duty in the past, please punish your lordship." ”
Don't explain, admit your mistakes first.
This is a set of experiences that Xing Luo summed up after figuring out Tang Yuan's character, and he has tried and tested it repeatedly.
Sure enough, Tang Yuan didn't ask, and said with a smile to Xu Ruhai: "If you confess this matter to this official, you may not be able to save yourself, but it may completely anger Xu Hongwu and take your young son's life." It is said that tiger poison does not eat children, but what the head of the Xu family does seems to be contrary to this purpose!"
Xu Ruhai listened to his banter and knew that what he said was true, but he had been in the rivers and lakes for decades, how could he not be prepared at all.
Xu Hongwu vainly tried to threaten him with his only son, which has to be said to be a clever move.
Old and old.
The young son is of great significance to the continuation of the Xu family's incense, he can die, but his young son can't die.
But in the end, the road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high.
As everyone knows, he transferred his young son who was still in swaddling clothes early.
Xu Hongwu thought that he could contain himself with the child in his hand, and he was a bad move.
Seeing that Xu Ruhai's expression was as usual, there was no fear, and he didn't seem to be fake, Tang Yuan knew that he had already prepared.
This river and lake is full of deceit, bloody wind and rain.
No one should be underestimated.
Even an ignorant child, a helpless woman, or an old man in the twilight can transform into a killer who takes people's lives.
"The head of the Xu family is confident. ”
Tang Yuan laughed, and then said in a deep voice: "Master Xu, go through the matter one by one, if there are extenuating circumstances, this official may not be able to open the net, and your Xu family can escape the catastrophe." ”
Zheng is worried that there is no way to rectify the Iron Sword Gate, isn't this just a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
"Thank you, Lord Tang. ”
Xu Ruhai felt extremely happy in his heart, and immediately told the details of what had happened.
"It seems that this Xu Hongwu is also guarding against me. ”
Tang Yuan chuckled and shook his head, his brows suddenly frowned for no reason, and asked, "Why did Xu Hongwu sell inferior coarse salt, is it really to sell it in the northern part of the country, or is it for other purposes?"
This sentence was obviously said to Xu Ruhai.
Xu Ruhai shook his head and sighed: "Xu doesn't know, as long as he leaves the territory of Fufeng County, this caravan will not be under the control, and someone will take over at that time." ”
"Who's going to take over?"
Tang Yuan sighed lightly, and suddenly asked, "Iron Sword Gate?"
"Yes, it has always been the Iron Sword Gate Zhong Qi who is in charge of this matter. ”
Xu Ruhai nodded.
Tang Yuan rubbed his chin, pondered, and suddenly raised his head and shouted, "Xing Luo!"
Xing Luo was slightly distracted, and was instantly awakened by Tang Yuan's voice.
"My lord, what's the matter?"
Xing Luo stood upright, and Shi Li asked.
Tang Yuan asked, "Has the Iron Sword Sect ever trafficked illicit salt before?"
"Ugh!"
Xing Luo was speechless for a while.
Saying that there is one is tantamount to exposing Lord Cao Yuanzheng's previous favoritism and accepting bribes.
Say no......
The key, there really is!
"Yes!"
Xing Luo told the truth, did not dare to hide it, and said cautiously: "But the evidence has been destroyed, and there is no proof of death." ”
"Then you say, do they have the strength to bear thousands of catties of coarse salt? Tang Yuan asked.
"Nope!"
Xing Luo said bluntly, and said in an inquiring tone: "My lord, there is someone behind the Iron Sword Gate, do you want to send someone to check?"
"There's no need to check, they'll take the initiative to come forward. ”
Tang Yuan waved his hand, knowing that such a huge amount of inferior coarse salt was detained, the people behind him would inevitably be anxious, just wait.
Thinking of this, Tang Yuan stared at Xu Ruhai, and there was no lack of threat in his tone, and said: "Xu family master, do you dare to go to the Iron Sword Gate to confront this official? If you report the Iron Sword Gate for merit, this official may not be able to treat your Xu family lightly, life and death, and the Xu family master will decide with a word!"
Hearing this, Xu Ruhai smiled bitterly, how dare he contradict Tang Yuan.
Knowing that Tang Yuan and the Iron Sword Gate had a deep grudge, there was almost no doubt that he would seize this opportunity to concoct the Iron Sword Gate well.
"Xing Luo, prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and let the head of the Xu family write down everything and draw it!" Tang Yuan commanded.
Xing Luo received the order, and secretly said that Lord Tang was really leaking everything he did.
About half an hour later, the six doors poured out, pointing at the iron sword gate, and the momentum was violent.
The spies of the various forces in Fufeng County moved when they heard the wind, looking at the six doors and rushing into the sky, everyone's faces were cold and abnormal, and they headed towards the Iron Sword Gate.
Seeing this, the spies from all sides knew that the six doors were afraid that they would make a big move against the Iron Sword Gate, so they hurried back to report.
Suddenly, the clouds moved in all directions of Fufeng County.
North Side.
Iron Sword Gate.
Tang Yuan stood with his sword on his hand, and glanced at the stone tablet engraved with the three gilded characters of the Iron Sword Gate with an expressionless face.
