Chapter 838: Old Friend
In order to prevent any accidents from happening to County Lieutenant Ruan, Tang Ning gave him a box of Gu worms, even if the Liang family really sent someone to Ruan's mansion at night, he didn't have to worry about what accidents would happen to him.
Chen Zhou went back to the inn this evening, and he came back with Liu Zheng, the criminal officer of Shannan West Road.
The criminal officer is a special official position in Chen State, judging from the official name, he seems to be only responsible for one litigation prison, but in fact, the power of the criminal officer is particularly large, he is a sword set up by the imperial court to restrain the locality, and a sharp sword hanging over the head of the local official.
Even if it is a state assassin, he is very jealous of the criminal officer.
However, in the guest room of an inn in Wanzhou, the criminal officer of Shannan West Road, standing in front of Tang Ning, looked very respectful, and arched his hand: "Xia Guan has seen Tang Xiang." ”
Tang Ning smiled: "Lord Liu is not polite. ”
"Hearing that Tang Xiang had arrived in Wanzhou, the lower officials immediately rushed over." After Liu Zheng sat down, he asked, "I don't know what the Tang Prime Minister summoned the officials here, what are your orders?" ”
Tang Ning said: "Qiandi will be chaotic, Wanzhou will bear the brunt at that time, and this official needs Lord Liu to sit in Wanzhou and stabilize the situation in Wanzhou." ”
As soon as the right minister came to Wanzhou in person, it was enough to show how severe the situation in Guizhou was, Liu Zheng's face was solemn, and he immediately said: "The lower officials obey the order." ”
There is a criminal officer Liu Zheng in Wanzhou, and the defenders of Wanzhou have also been temporarily taken over by him, even if the history of Wanzhou assassination can't turn over any storms, Tang Ning returned to his room, scolded an unreliable old beggar in his heart, and went to bed with clothes.
At this time, the streets in Wanzhou City were also silent, and there were only occasional husbands passing by.
Although Wanzhou is the border of the Chen State, the Liang State has died, and the Shanzhong tribes in Qiandi will not go to Wanzhou to make trouble, so Wanzhou's city defense has never been very tense.
The curfew in the city has existed in name only many years ago, but Wanzhou is not as rich as Jingshi, and the nightlife of the people is not so rich, and not long after the sky darkens, there are few pedestrians on the streets.
Not long after the bangzi rang on the third watch, a black shadow suddenly appeared on the street, rushing towards an inn on the side of the street.
The first person gently pushed the door of the inn, as if knowing that the door was not closed, and the door of the inn was pushed open a gap, and nearly ten people poured in from the outside.
A young voice at the head said, "Zhao Yun'er is here?" ”
A person behind him said: "Second Young Master, I saw with my own eyes that Zhao Yun'er entered here during the day and never went out." ”
Liang Tao tore off the black cloth on his face and said, "Go to that kid's room first, tie him up, and I'll let him see ...... with his own eyes in a while."
The man behind him pointed upstairs and said, "His room is the third on the left." ”
Several people walked up the stairs lightly, touched the door of the third room on the left, and used a very thin blade to pry the latch from the door.
Liang Tao stepped into the door, a sneer appeared on his face, he had just taken two steps, but his steps were suddenly paused.
He only felt as if something had crawled onto his feet, and soon it got into his trouser leg, and then there was a piercing pain in his leg, and he couldn't help but cry out in pain.
The person on the bed seemed to be woken up by his voice, sat up from the bed, and asked, "Who is it?" ”
"Let's go!"
Finding that they had been exposed, the two set up Liang Tao and jumped out of the door in an instant, and the rest of the people wanted to leave, but they were blocked by the whip shadow that suddenly appeared from the darkness.
Chen Zhou took down these people and tied them firmly, and then looked at Tang Ning and asked, "My lord, there are three more people who have run away, and their subordinates will go down to chase ......."
Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "No need, they will find it tomorrow." ”
The person who was the leader was bitten by a Gu worm, and within twelve hours, the Gu poison could not be resolved, and his leg would be destroyed.
The Gu worm Tang Ning used this time was re-cultivated according to the Ten Thousand Gu Poison Sutra, and the ordinary Gu solution method could not solve this kind of Gu at all, unless it was at the level of ten elders like Bai Jin and Gongsun Ying, it was possible to solve the Gu.
Obviously, it is impossible for the Liang family to have such a person, and if the family of the Wanzhou Assassin Shi has one of the ten elders of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect, the charge of treason against the enemy cannot be washed away.
Liu Zheng got dressed, hurriedly came over from the next room, looked at the few people who were tied up by Chen Zhou, and exclaimed, "What's going on?" ”
Chen Zhou had already asked their identities from the mouth of one person, walked over, and said, "It's the Liang family." ”
"The Liang family is so bold!" Liu Zheng calmed his face and said angrily: "Early tomorrow morning, this official will go to the Assassin Mansion to ask for the crime!" ”
……
Liang family.
It was late at night, but the lobby of the Liang family was still brightly lit.
Liang Tao was lying on the ground, one leg had been swollen to two legs, and the whole person was still wailing, Liang Yu looked at him and exclaimed: "What is this!" ”
The head of the Liang family had a gloomy face and said, "It's Gu poison." ”
Liang Tao howled: "Uncle, help me, save me, I don't want to die......"
The head of the Liang family glanced at him and said, "You wait." ”
He walked out of the lobby, came to a hidden courtyard in the depths of Liang's mansion, knocked on the courtyard door three times, and said, "Mr. Wu, Liang has something to ask for." ”
Soon after, the door of the courtyard opened from the inside, and an old man looked at him and asked, "What is the matter?" ”
"I've seen the butler." The head of the Liang family respectfully bowed his hand to the old man, and then said: "Liang Tao seems to have been tricked, Liang wants to ask the housekeeper to help take a look......"
"Gu?" The old man glanced at him, closed the courtyard door, and said, "Let's go, let's see." ”
A moment later, in the lobby of the Liang Mansion, the old man glanced at Liang Tao, cut a wound on his leg with a dagger, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and sprinkled the powder in the bottle.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, ......" After the powder stuck to the wound, Liang Tao let out a terrible roar in his mouth, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and he fainted directly from the pain.
Seeing this, a trace of suspicion appeared on the old man's face.
The head of the Liang family looked at Liang Tao, who had passed out, looked at the old man, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter......
"Don't panic." The old man carefully examined Liang Tao's wound, a trace of discoloration appeared on his face, and at a certain moment, he took out another porcelain bottle from his arms, mixed the medicinal powder in the two porcelain bottles together, and sprinkled it on Liang Tao's wound.
After the powder was mixed into the blood, Liang Tao's swollen thighs quickly decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally returned to normal.
The head of the Liang family finally breathed a sigh of relief, and arched his hand: "Thank you, Lord Housekeeper......"
"Interesting." The old man took a breath, a smile appeared on his face, and muttered, "I don't know which old friend has arrived......"
Although he had a smile on his face, there was a trace of deep jealousy in the depths of his eyes.
A moment later, in the small courtyard, the old man closed the courtyard door and came to a certain room, and the middle-aged man sitting at the table looked at him and asked, "What's the matter, could it be that something happened to the Liang family?" ”
The old man looked jealous and said, "Someone has come to Wanzhou." ”
The middle-aged man frowned, and the "someone" in the old man's mouth refers to certain people, people they don't want to see at the moment.
"How could the Ten Elders come here?" The middle-aged man asked, "Could it be that our deeds have been exposed?" ”
"I don't know yet." The old man thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow I will go to investigate and investigate first, and see which old friend will actually leave Qiandi at such a time......"
