Volume 2 The Remnant of Time Chapter 148 The Despicable
Zhijian Hall?
Yesterday, Zhu Renzhao came to the Sword Hall?
Chu Qingxiao looked at the majestic gate in front of him, and his heart was full of doubts.
Just as he was puzzled, the door of the mansion was slowly opened in a dull sound.
Several black-clad figures stepped out of it, and they couldn't help but say that they entered the inner mansion with Zhu Renzhao in their arms, and then brought him to a main house, and threw him into the door very roughly.
Zhu Renzhao fell heavily to the ground, and Chu Qingxiao, who was connected to his heart, also felt a sharp pain at this time.
Behind him, the sound of the door being slammed shut was heard.
The room darkened suddenly, and only a candle flame was gently moving, and the meager candlelight could not illuminate the darkness of the door, but added to the gloom.
"Speaking of which, this is the third time we've met, right?" Chu Qingxiao's head was clouded, but a voice suddenly came from in front of him.
He shuddered, and fear welled up in his heart.
Chu Qingxiao knew that this was Zhu Renzhao's inner feelings.
He looked up and looked forward, a middle-aged man dressed in black with gray temples was sitting precariously and staring down at him.
The other party's eyes flashed with a dazzling glow in the somewhat dark door, and just one glance, Zhu Renzhao panicked and hurriedly lowered his head.
"Lord Lu......" he said to the man opposite.
The man just kept staring at Zhu Renzhao and didn't respond anything.
And if there is a substantial gaze like that, Zhu Renzhao, who lowered his head in time, also feels like a man's back.
"I thought you'd run away." After a long while, just when Chu Qingxiao felt that Zhu Renzhao seemed to be about to collapse under that gaze, Lu Haocun's voice finally sounded again.
"Lord Lu's hands and eyes are all over the sky, and the little one is just a pariah, no matter how he escapes, he can't escape......" Zhu Renzhao said tremblingly.
"It's smart." Lu Haocun said this, and there seemed to be a bit of appreciation in his tone.
And just when Chu Qingxiao thought this, the man in front of him suddenly stood up, his clothes agitated, and the rolling killing machine began to surge, and he roared angrily.
"You're so smart! So why do stupid things!! ”
The volume was raised suddenly, and Chu Qingxiao, who was in Zhu Renzhao's body, felt pain in his eardrums.
He looked up at the other party, only to see that the other party's breath was surging, and the hair on his head was raised indiscriminately under the agitation of spiritual power.
He looked at Zhu Renzhao angrily, and there was a flame in his eyes.
The whole person looked like an angry lion.
Zhu Renzhao was so frightened that his heart was broken, and his face turned pale.
And this meeting also made Chu Qingxiao's heart full of doubts.
As far as he knew, Zhu Renzhao was just a down-and-out outer disciple in the mountain and water ditch, who had worked hard for most of his life and had not won the opportunity to enter the inner gate.
He said that almost all his hopes were poured into his son, but helplessly, his son Zhu Quan didn't seem to have the intention of doing so.
And this Lu Haocun in front of him, although Chu Qingxiao has never heard of him, but looking at his aura, he thinks that he is in the sky, and he also has a certain status.
How did the two people with such different identities get related?
"It was also in this house back then, do you remember how you cried and begged me to give you a way out?" Lu Haocun looked at Zhu Renzhao condescendingly and asked.
Zhu Renzhao seemed to be frightened, and he hurriedly said: "The adults are kind-hearted and gave me a way to live, this kindness, I dare not forget it for a moment!" ”
"Don't dare to forget? Then why did you tell your son the truth about your wife's death!? Hearing this, Lu Haocun looked at Zhu Renzhao with a cold face and asked in a cold voice.
"Have you forgotten your promise when I let you live?"
Chu Qingxiao's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
He remembered that when he was in Shanshuigou, Zhu Quan angrily reprimanded Zhu Renzhao for his mother's death.
Judging from the situation at that time, Zhu Renzhao did not seem to know the truth.
But at this moment, it seems that between the conversation between him and Lu Haocun, that kind of idea is just Zhu Quan's wishful thinking.
And Chu Qingxiao also remembered that the name of the murderer mentioned by Zhu Quan at that time was Lu Huan, and the Lu Haocun in front of him was most likely the murderer's father.
Thinking of this, Chu Qingxiao's thoughts were a little confused, and he couldn't figure out the whole story for a while.
At this time, Zhu Renzhao's face turned pale, and he hurriedly lowered his head at that time, and said tremblingly: "The little one was also drunk more than a year ago, and he said drunk words after drinking, and it happened to be listened to by my children...... It was not intended to be leaked......"
"More than a year ago?" Hearing this, Lu Haocun's face suddenly became a little ugly.
"But a year ago, when we met for the second time, I asked you well, and you told me in no uncertain terms that you never revealed this to anyone!"
As he said this, his gaze at Zhu Renzhao became more and more gloomy.
Chu Qingxiao could feel that Zhu Renzhao was already scared to the extreme at this moment.
His body trembled, and the words that came out of his mouth were also staccato and stammering.
"That'...... At that time......"
"Lu Gongzi has just died, and I'm afraid of ...... I am also afraid that Lord Lu will be angry with me when he first encounters the pain of losing his son, so he ...... Therefore, there is something to hide. ”
While saying this, Zhu Renzhao could clearly feel that a cold killing machine was wrapping him, he became more and more afraid, his body almost prostrate on the ground, and hurriedly continued: "The little one is afraid of death, so he concealed this matter, but the little one has nothing to do with Ling Gongzi's death, and I hope the adults will see it!" ”
Hearing Chu Qingxiao here, his heart jumped, and he knew that the guy who killed Zhu Quan's mother had died a year ago.
Lu Haocun fell silent again, and the whole room fell into a dead silence because of his silence.
Long.
"If you're here today to confess to me, I don't think he's enough to be a reason for your life."
Lu Haocun's voice sounded again, and his tone seemed to be a lot calmer: "You should know what the price of breaking your promise is!" ”
Zhu Renzhao's body trembled, and he hurriedly said: "The little one understands that he has made a big mistake, but the little one came to look for the adult today, and he really has other news to tell the adult!" ”
"Tell me about it." Lu Hao said.
"Spiegel!" Zhu Renzhao seemed to have been frightened by the other party's momentum, and he didn't dare to hesitate at eight o'clock at that time, so he eagerly said a name at the moment.
Lu Haocun's kind of color flashed a hint of strangeness, he didn't say anything about it, but said: "I've heard of this organization. ”
"A group of guys who don't learn and don't know how to do it, cynical people always go against Tianhang Mountain, and today they also broke the face of Liuhuan Peak in the mountain and water ditch."
"What? What does this have to do with me? ”
Chu Qingxiao could feel that Lu Haocun's deliberate pretending attitude obviously made Zhu Renzhao a little nervous.
The man who was prostrate on the ground hurriedly continued: "Mingjingtai claims to be the savior of Tianhang City, and he helps the people of Tianhang City to fight lawsuits on the surface, but he has done a lot of shady deeds behind his back......
When Lu Haocun heard this, he raised his eyebrows: "Huh? What do you mean. My family Huan'er was also killed by them? ”
Zhu Renzhao, who heard such speculation, was obviously overjoyed, and hurriedly continued: "I think it's very likely, more than a year ago, I accidentally revealed the cause of death to He Quan'er, and within two months, Lu Gongzi was killed......
Zhu Renzhao said this, but his voice gradually became quieter, and he seemed to feel that he was so eager to lead the truth of the matter to the Spiegel Terrace, and the purpose was too explicit.
And Lu Haocun, who heard this, did fall silent again.
After another long while, he suddenly stood up, walked up to Zhu Renzhao, and looked down at the man: "Let me think about it." ”
"More than a year ago, you told your son about the cause of your wife's death."
"Your son happened to join Spiegel again, and he told Spiegel about it."
"And Spiegel happens to like to be nosy, so he teamed up with your son to kill my family Huan'er?"
"Is that what you mean?"
Lu Haocun said this, his body bent down, his eyes stared straight at Zhu Renzhao, and in those eyes, a cold light flashed at this time, as if he wanted to see Zhu Renzhao thoroughly from the inside out.
Zhu Renzhao had learned the lesson of Fang Cai, and became a little cautious at the moment, and he said cautiously: "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I think it may be like this......"
"Interesting." Hearing this, Lu Haocun suddenly got up, he laughed a few times, and then looked at Zhu Renzhao again, his eyes were vicious, like a wolf.
"You know I've been looking for the real murderer of my son all this year!"
"I've never dreamed of finding that guy, skinning him and tearing him apart, so that he might as well live as he lives!"
"If Spiegel did this! Everyone at Spiegel has to die! And ...... of them"
"And your son!"
Lu Haocun's voice was wrapped in a rolling killing machine at this time, making Zhu Renzhao, who was listening to all this, pale.
"I ...... I know......" he replied, trembling.
"You know?" Lu Haocun's eyes flashed with a different color: "So you sent your son to death?" ”
"In my life, I have added many people who have betrayed their friends to seek glory, and they can sacrifice many things for the sake of profit, friends, lovers and even parents."
"But this is the first time I've seen someone like you buy a child and beg for your life."
"Why?"
Lu Haocun asked.
Zhu Renzhao's head lowered at this time, he seemed to be a little ashamed, and he didn't answer Lu Haocun's question at the first time for the first time.
He was silent for a long time before he said sullenly, "I...... I don't want to die, I want to live. ”
This answer made Lu Haocun stunned.
The next moment, he burst out laughing.
He laughed maniacally, his voice echoing through the room like a goblin whispering.
"Live? In order to survive, you even betrayed your son? His words were incredulous, and beyond disbelief, his tone was filled with more sarcasm and disdain.
"Do you know how much I want my Huan'er to come back to life?"
"For him, I can give my life, but you can sell your son to me for yourself!"
"Look at you, what are you like? Crippled, smelly, living like a lost dog in the sky, you have such a rotten life, you have to exchange your own son for it! ”
"No wonder you can't get into the inner door in your life, and no wonder your son looks down on you!"
He loudly and wantonly mocked the man in front of him, as if he wanted to vent the pain of losing his son to Zhu Renzhao's body at this time.
And when Chu Qingxiao heard this, his heart also sank.
He never thought that Zhu Renzhao came here to beg for his life.
Even if everything he said was true, Zhu Quan wanted to avenge his mother after all, which was understandable in Chu Qingxiao's opinion.
On the other hand, Zhu Renzhao, for the sake of his own life, knew who the enemy who killed his wife was, but he groveled to the other party, and even took the initiative to send it to the door and betrayed his son......
Chu Qingxiao's heart couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
At this time, Zhu Renzhao, who was ridiculed by Lu Haocun, also seemed to be a little angry.
His voice was a little louder: "Why does he look down on me?" ”
"I'll feed him and clothe him! Frugal, go to Qinghuan Mansion to work before dawn every day, 365 days a year, not a day dare to slack off! ”
"It's just to let him grow up, so that he can fulfill my long-cherished wish back then and join the inner gate of Tianhang Mountain!"
"But how did he repay me? I'm idle all day, and I just know how to fool around with a bunch of bastards! ”
"Is Spiegel a good place? I have advised him more than a hundred times, but he never listens to me, and speaks ill of me! ”
"Now that he's made a big mistake, why should I pay for him?"
"He kept saying that without me as a father, I just didn't have him as a son!"
"All of this is his own fault!"
When he said this, Zhu Renzhao's face was indignant, and his eyes were full of viciousness and anger.
Lu Haocun, who still had some doubts about Zhu Renzhao's behavior of buying a son and begging for his life, saw him like this, and the doubts in his heart suddenly dissipated a lot.
He looked at Zhu Renzhao again and asked the last question: "But back then, it was indeed my family Huan'er who killed your wife, don't you hate him at all?" Don't want him dead? ”
Zhu Renzhao was stunned, but hurriedly piled up a flattering smile on his face: "I was a little annoyed at first, but after being taught by the adults, I also thought about it, the outer god is so powerful, if you don't stay and break off, everyone will have to die." ”
"It is a blessing for her to be able to use her life to exchange her son's life."
"It's just hateful, my bastard son, I don't understand this! Damn it! ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Renzhao gritted his teeth a little, and his tone was full of disgust for Zhu Quan.
And Lu Haocun, who heard this, was finally satisfied.
He nodded, "Yes, you do know more than your son." ”
"Go back and stay well, after I arrest Zhu Quan and the people from Mingjingtai, you have to confront your son face to face, if things are really as you said, you can make up for it, and you can live."
Zhu Renzhao immediately smiled when he heard this, and he was busy kowtowing to Lu Haocun and said, "Thank you, thank you, my lord." ”
His face was excited, and joy surged between his eyebrows, almost overflowing.
And Chu Qingxiao, who was connected to his heart, felt this, and his heart was a little sick.
He never thought that the man he was still feeling guilty about just now would be such a shameless person!
He didn't want to stay in the memories anymore.
Zhu Renzhao's flattery and groveling to the enemy who killed his wife made Chu Qingxiao feel disgusted every moment, and he wanted to escape from this place as soon as possible.
But with such thoughts, he suddenly felt a little strange.
It stands to reason that when things have come to this point, Lu Haocun seems to have believed Zhu Renzhao, so why did he still die?
Thinking of Chu Qingxiao here, he sank down again, because he was connected to Zhu Renzhao.
He could clearly feel that Zhu Renzhao's heart seemed to be extremely nervous at the moment, and his heart was beating fast, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.
That feeling is like a thing that has been prepared for a long time, and finally reached the extreme anxiety before the door......
"." And at this moment, Lu Haocun's voice sounded again.
The man's face became a little silent, and his tone became amused: "My family Huan'er will die at the hands of your son born of mud......
When he heard this, Chu Qingxiao obviously felt that Zhu Renzhao's heart was filled with excitement.
It's like a beast that has been lurking in the forest for a long time, and finally sees the joy of its prey.
It seems that from today to this sword hall, every humility he revealed, every word that came out of his mouth, was for this moment.
His face showed a smile on his face, bent his spine, and said with great flattery: "Ling Gongzi was originally a dragon and phoenix among people, if he hadn't worn a spirit sword that day, how could he have been harmed by my rebel!" ”
"My rebellious son deserves death, don't worry, as soon as I go back, I will be careful, I will definitely ......"
Zhu Renzhao said flattering words, but Lu Haocun, who had already let down his guard, suddenly changed his face, and turned his head to look at him strangely.
He frowned coldly, lowered his voice, and asked word by word.
"I never said to the outside world that Huan'er didn't wear a spirit sword on the day she died, how did you know about it?"
