Volume 1 The Return of the Old Man Chapter 181 Borrowing a knife to kill

The shopkeeper lowered his head, seemed to struggle for a moment, and it didn't take long to raise his head, his gaze was deadly: "It's the treasure trove map." ”

Han Changwan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, leaned his back on the back of the Hu bed, and asked lightly, "What treasure house, where is it?" ”

The shopkeeper pursed his dry lips, did not ask a word again, and simply poured it clean: "Before the Ming Empire broke, the countless treasures of the people and people who had been looted for decades were hidden, and the late Prince Huaizhang got the key to the treasure house, but there was never a specific location of the treasure house, and then before the death of Prince Huaizhang, the young master's blood was connected with the key, and someone was taken out. The Holy Lord has been tracking down the location of the treasure house, and this box contains the map I found when I sneaked into the tomb of Emperor Ming a year ago, and it is the mechanism map of the treasure house. ”

Han Changdui was ecstatic in his heart, but his face did not show anything, and he still asked indifferently, "Where is the treasure house?" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head: "The map specifically points to the location of the treasure house, but it is just a detailed map of where the treasure house is underground and how the mechanism is arranged. ”

Han Changwan was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, such an important treasure house, if it could really be easily discovered, then there was a ghost.

He asked lightly: "Since you are directly under the orders of the Holy Lord, then you should be clear about the identity of the Holy Lord." ”

The shopkeeper said without hesitation: "The Holy Lord is from Gaochang Country, and I don't know what the specific origin is. He paused, as if he remembered something, and hurriedly spoke: "The Holy Lord is like a member of the royal family of Gaochang Kingdom. ”

"What?" Han Changdu's face changed, and he lost his voice: "How can you see it?" ”

The shopkeeper froze and said, "When the Holy Lord robbed the silver, he met with the second prince of Gao Changguo and used some of his personal guards to cover up the truth. ”

Han Changdui lowered his eyes, his face was solemn, and he was silent.

In the ten years since the lord of Gaochang succeeded to the throne, Koji Guangyan has always been in harmony with Dajing, and has never seen each other, but his younger brother Koji Guangqing, that is, the second prince in the mouth of the shopkeeper, is a Turkic person, and he is very dissatisfied with his brother Dajing and the Turks, and he has long had the intention of replacing the position of the head of the country.

The suzerain of the Four Holy Sects was actually involved with the second prince of Gaochang Kingdom, and it seemed that his plot against Dajing's silver and the treasure house of Emperor Ming of the previous dynasty also helped the second prince to help him with his intentions.

The shopkeeper raised his eyelids and looked at Han Changdu's expression cautiously, he didn't know which sentence he had said badly, and he actually caused the person in front of him to be silent so much.

In the dim and flickering lights, Yao Qi caught a glimpse of the shopkeeper's faint snooping expression.

Her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she asked coldly, "Since you got the treasure trove map a year ago, why didn't you give it to the Holy Lord, but hid it under the stable, and hid the key in your father-in-law's house." ”

The shopkeeper winced for a moment, and reluctantly calmed down: "The map is very important, I must hand it over to the Holy Lord with my own hands, and I have never had the opportunity to meet the Holy Lord in the past year. ”

"You're lying." Yao Qi sneered, and his laughter was as cold as a ghost: "The loss of the silver is only a matter of half a year, you said that the Holy Lord saw the second prince before robbing the silver, then, did you see it with your own eyes, since you saw it with your own eyes, why didn't you hand over the map, if you didn't see it with your own eyes, then who did you listen to about it?" Didn't you just say that none of you secret nails in the sect knew about you secret nails except for the Holy Lord and that confidant? Could it be that henchman risked being caught, and came all the way to tell you that the Holy Lord had seen the second prince? ”

This series of aggressive interrogations, the shopkeeper who asked was confused, trembling in panic, and layers of cold sweat broke out, soaking the thick jacket.

Han Changdui lowered his eyelids, his voice was faint, there were no emotional fluctuations, but it was extremely intimidating: "You have something to hide, how can I protect your family." He leaned forward slightly, and tapped his fingers on his knees: "It's better for me to send them down with you to accompany you, and there is also a companion on Huangquan Road." ”

"I say, I say I say." The shopkeeper collapsed at once, and there was no longer any luck, his face was as white as paper, and he shouted desperately: "I said, I said, begging Gongzi to let them go, they don't know anything." ”

Han Changdui nodded and said nonchalantly: "Whether you let them go or not, it depends on what you say and what you say." ”

The shopkeeper poured beans into a bamboo tube, and said cracklingly: "I was one of the guards cultivated by Prince Huaizhang, because I was young and innocent, I was sent to the Holy Lord to do an internal response, and informed the Young Master of the Holy Lord's movements, so that the Young Master could act, a year ago I found the map, so I hid the key, but I never had the opportunity to see the Young Master, and I didn't dare to leave the Fifth Feng without permission, for fear of alarming the Holy Lord and arousing suspicion, until a few days ago, the Holy Lord's henchmen came to me and asked me to try to end Li Sheng's life, Then completely leave the fifth beacon, lurking in Dunhuang City, there is a hall in Dunhuang City that the young master has privately established, I think I have the opportunity, so I want to end the task, return to Dunhuang with the map, and hand it over to the young master. ”

Han Changwan raised his eyebrows: "Then the matter of the Holy Lord you just talked about is intentional, and you want to borrow my hand to get rid of the Holy Lord for you, so that the Young Master can pocket all the Four Holy Sects." ”

The shopkeeper lowered his head, didn't dare to raise his head and look at Han Changdu, and said in fear: "Yes, yes, the young master is getting older, and the holy lord has long been jealous of him, if it weren't for opening the treasure house, there must be the blood of the young master, the holy lord would have killed the young master a long time ago, and the young master wants to keep himself, so he can only strike first." ”

Han Changwei can understand their eagerness to protect themselves, if it were him, he would do the same, but he deliberately used him as a gunman, so it was no wonder that he was ruthless.

Han Changwan asked expressionlessly: "The young master is at the place where Dunhuang is staying, and you know your contact information." ”

The shopkeeper smiled tremblingly: "Yes, I know. ”

Han Changdui pondered for a moment: "I can leave your life for the time being, but you have to take us to find the key first, I want to make a deal with your Holy Lord, and you will introduce it." ”

The shopkeeper hesitated, he confessed that he wanted to save the lives of the family, but taking these people to see the young master was another matter, and maybe it would affect the lives of the family.

Han Changdui leaned on the Hu bed and said lightly: "You Four Holy Sects' Water Saint Envoy Zhou Wuxian, you have heard of it." ”

The shopkeeper suddenly raised his head, looked at Han Changdui in surprise and horror, his lips trembled, and he spit out a few words: "You, you, you, how do you know the Water Holy Envoy." ”

Han Changdui leaned forward and said with a smile: "I know far more than you think." ”

The shopkeeper struggled for a moment before he hesitated slightly: "The matter of the silver is done by the Holy Lord, and it has nothing to do with the young master, the young master has always been controlled by the Holy Lord, and has never done anything that hurts the heavens and reason, and I hope that the prince will not hurt the young master and give him a way out." ”

Han Changwan raised his eyebrows: "Really?" ”

The shopkeeper opened his mouth, of course this is a bunch of nonsense, the kind that deceives ghosts and ghosts don't believe it, but how can he say that the young master of his family is a heinous crime, and he deserves to be killed with a thousand knives?

He smiled bitterly: "Can the prince tell me what deal he wants to make with the young master?" ”

Han Changdu's eyes narrowed slightly: "Without paying some price, why are you embarrassed to borrow my hand to get rid of the Holy Lord?" ”

The shopkeeper choked up and let out a long sigh: "I understand, okay, I can introduce the young master to Childe, but Childe has to release my wife and children first." ”

Han Changwan grinned: "If you are a smart person, you should know that I can release them now, but whether they can survive or not is not something I can promise." ”

The shopkeeper pursed his lips, understanding that Han Changdui was telling the truth, the news that his family had been rescued could not be concealed for too long, once it reached the ears of the Holy Lord, the Holy Lord would inevitably suspect that he had betrayed the Four Holy Sects, if his family showed up at this time, there was no one around him to protect him, and being wiped out was the only end.

But he didn't want his family to stay in Han Changdu's hands, this was his handle, so that he couldn't survive and die.

He thought about it and thought about it, and finally said with difficulty as to the lesser of two evils: "Okay, then let's do what Childe said." ”

Han Changwan turned his head to Xie Mengxia, who was chatting in every way, and said, "Your Highness, the shopkeeper's family, or send it to your mansion." ”

Xie Mengxia suddenly came to his senses, and nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, you just look at the arrangement." ”

Han Changdui turned his head to Gu Chen and said, "Go and tell Zhu Neng and Xiao Liuzi to let them go with Wang Xian to send the shopkeeper's family to the private mansion of His Royal Highness Ganzhou, and then let Zhu Neng and Xiao Liuzi stay there with peace of mind, and when we finish taking care of the affairs of Dunhuang, we will go over." ”

Gu Chen nodded, turned around and went out to arrange the matter.

Han Changdui turned his head to look at the shopkeeper fixedly, suddenly remembered something, and said lightly: "Since we have formed an alliance temporarily, then, can you draw a portrait of the young master for me." ”

The shopkeeper was stunned, so dignified, why do you want the portrait of the young master, he was a little ominous in his heart, squinted his eyes and asked suspiciously: "Childe wants to draw a shadow figure, is the young master wanted?" ”

Han Changdui laughed: "Drawing shadow graphics, wanted criminals, that's the matter of Jingzhao Mansion and the Criminal Department, I'm not so idle." ”

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I'll draw." ”

Han Changwan looked at Yao Qi and said, "You go and get a pen and paper." ”

Yao Qi didn't know what Han Changdui wanted the portrait of the young master to do, but this person has always been thoughtful, and it is reasonable to do anything out of the ordinary.

She should claim yes and leave the warehouse.
