At the second watch, a black shadow came out of the back door of Li Zhen's mansion, he was wearing a night suit, and a cloth bag on his back, the cloth bag was in the shape of a long strip, which seemed to be a scroll, and the man in black looked around very vigilantly for a moment, quickened his pace, and finally turned into a galloping all the way, easily jumping over the wall of the fang, and running to the west.

Just as the figure in black had just disappeared, several black shadows flashed in an alley opposite Li Zhen's mansion, and they quickly chased after them, and also climbed over the wall and chased in the direction where the man in black disappeared

Before dawn, the carriage of Lai Junchen had already left the palace gate and was heading towards the imperial city, with an orange-red lantern hanging on the wheel, and five big black characters on it, 'Imperial History in Chenglai', which were particularly clear under the bright light.

There are also a few ministers' carriages on the street that went to the imperial city to participate in the early dynasty, but they seem to be very afraid of Lai Junchen, and when they see Lai Junchen's carriage, they avoid it far away, afraid of it like a snake and scorpion, inside the carriage, Lai Junchen looked coldly through the window of the carriage and looked at several carriages to stop and avoid him, he has long been accustomed to this fear, and he also likes this feeling very much, he likes others to be afraid of him.

In his childhood, his father's cruel domestic violence against him caused a great distortion to his character, and he could not forget the horrific experiences in the dark cellar, the seeds of this horror took root in his heart, and finally bore the fruits of violence, so that his heart was full of abuse, and the cruel torture of skinning, cramping, gouging out eyes, digging out hearts, raping and killing was so wonderful in his eyes.

However, after destroying countless families and destroying countless families, he also knew that his sins were too numerous to mention, so how to protect himself and not become a lackey in the female emperor's cooking was something he was racking his brains to consider.

He has already found a way out, that is, Wu Sansi, as long as he can hug Wu Sansi's thigh and push him to the throne, then he will have the merit of supporting and becoming the founder of the country, not only will he not be liquidated, but also the beginning of his more brilliant career.

Now that Wu Sansi has reconciled with him, and the two sides have begun to join forces to deal with the Xingtang Society, then digging out Li Zhen's secret, getting the evidence of the Xingtang Society, and completely overthrowing Li Xian and Li Dan's brothers will become the biggest challenge in Lai Junchen's life.

At this time, Suo Wen, who was dressed in black, chased after him and joined Lai Junchen's guards, and he whispered by the car window: "Zhongcheng, there is an intelligence report!"

"Tell me, what did you find?" asked Lai Junchen coldly.

"It's about Li Zhen"

Lai Junchen suddenly perked up, and hurriedly asked, "Tell me quickly, what news?"

"Our brother left the house last night at two watches, carrying a scroll on his back."

"And then, to the point, where did he go?" Lai Junchen impatiently interrupted Suo Wen's long-winded report.

Suo Wen hurriedly trembled and said, "He disappeared into the Pure Land Temple, and he didn't come out until about half an hour later, but the package on his body was gone. ”

"Pure Land Temple!" Lai Junchen's brows furrowed, could it be that Li Zhen's secret treasure is in the Pure Land Temple?

Lai Junchen knew that the most convenient place to hide the treasure was in the Linzhi Temple, but after killing Xue Huaiyi, the Linzhi Temple had been razed to the ground, and the underground palace had been filled in, but he didn't expect Li Li Zhen to choose the Pure Land Temple, he pondered for a long time and asked: "Can you be sure that person is Li Zhen?"

He was unmasked, and when we came out of the house, our brothers saw his face. ”

Lai Junchen laughed a little proudly, although he lost a piece of Yu Shinan's authentic handiwork, but he found Li Zhen's secret nest, which can be regarded as throwing bricks and attracting jade!

"Well done!" said Lai Junchen.

Suowen was complimented, he was very excited, and felt that it was necessary to behave well again, and he whispered again: "Do you want to take someone to search the Pure Land Temple and dig out his lair?"

Lai Junchen thought about it, but still shook his head and said: "Before you find the specific location, don't startle the snake for the time being, you can start with the monks in the temple, they must have someone who knows where Li Zhen is, you have to find someone in the know first." ”

"Humble duty understood. ”

Lai Junchen said again: "In addition, let your brother transfer Zhuang Wenzhong to Dali Temple, try to be as secretive as possible, he is a very important witness, and there must be no mistakes." ”

"Humble duty understands!"

Suo Wen saluted, then turned the horse's head and left, Lai Junchen slowly closed his eyes, he felt that he couldn't just aim at Li Zhen, he had to find out Li Dan or Li Xian's handle at the same time, and finally they connected with Li Zhen, only in this way, after knocking down Li Zhen, Li Dan and Li Xian also fell.

Through his observation during this time, Li Xian was closely monitored by the saint, and Li Xian never went out a single step, it seemed to be a pity, but Li Dan was relatively free, and he could still go out for an outing, so would he take advantage of this opportunity to secretly communicate with the courtiers?

Lai Junchen also thought that the saint had successively dismissed Di Renjie and Li Dezhao, the two prime ministers, wasn't it because they had a close relationship with Li Dan in the past? This shows that the saint is even more jealous of Li Dan, and she relaxes her supervision of Li Dan, which shows that she has another deep meaning, and Lai Junchen quickly formed a careful plan against Li Dan in his heart

Lai Junchen's Luming Villa is obtained from Wu Chengsi, located in the north of Luoyang, at the eastern foot of Beibi Mountain, covering an area of about 50 hectares, the grassland is vast, the forest is luxuriant, and there is a rippling lake, hundreds of large and small pavilions and pavilions have been built around the lake, it is one of the most beautiful manors in Luoyang.

In order to protect his treasures and women, Lai Junchen specially deployed 200 black warriors in the manor, and built high walls and guard towers around it, and the defense was very tight.

At present, the steward of Luming Villa is Suo Ying, the younger brother of Suo Wen, but the black official warrior is in charge of the captain of Lai Junchen's nephew Lai Feng, and the two sides perform their own responsibilities and do not interfere with each other, but this afternoon, Suo Ying found the captain Xie Feng, handed him an order, and said coldly: "This is an order to come to Zhongcheng, you can do it yourself!"

Although the scope of responsibilities of Suo Ying and Lai Feng is different, the relationship between the two is not very good, but the reason is for a woman, Suo Ying took a fancy to a beautiful maid in the manor, and the relationship between the two was hot, but Lai Feng took advantage of Suo Ying's absence in the manor a month ago to forcibly occupy this beautiful maid, which angered Suo Ying.

Although Lai Junchen mediated the relationship between the two and appeased Suo Ying, he always favored his nephew and did not let his nephew return the maid to Suo Ying.

Lai Feng is tall and fierce, so a big sword of nearly thirty catties overwhelmed the thin Suo Ying on the block, he snatched the order from Suo Ying, glared at him fiercely, and said angrily: "Don't worry about Lao Tzu's affairs!"

"Who cares about your business, this is an order sent by my eldest brother from the capital, do you have the ability to disobey the order?"

Although Lai Feng looks down on Suo Ying, Suo Ying's brother Suo Wen is Lai Feng's boss, which makes Lai Feng angry, how can his uncle let the children of the Suo family suppress him?

He snorted heavily, looked at the note in his hand, turned around and strode away, walked to a courtyard and shouted, "Prepare the horses and vehicles, get out immediately!"

After a while, a well-sheltered carriage drove out of the courtyard, and Lai Feng led more than 20 black warriors to follow the carriage on horseback, escorting the carriage towards the outside of the manor.

Suo Ying looked at Lai Feng and his party away, and scolded in a low voice, although Lai Feng occupied the woman he liked, but he didn't have the courage to take it back from Lai Feng's hands, so he could only secretly pray that God would bless Lai Feng and that Lai Feng would die halfway.

"Trust my judgment, he'll die halfway!" said Suo Ying viciously to several of his men.

Several of his subordinates were stunned, they really didn't understand why the steward would say this.

The carriage had no windows, only a tightly closed door, locked from the outside, and inside the carriage lay Zhuang Wenzhong, the governor of Yangzhou, whose hands and feet were tied firmly, and his mouth was also plugged with rags, which was a treatment that Zhuang Wenzhong could not dream of.

He originally wanted to get Wu Sansi's protection, but Wu Sansi handed him over to the cool official Lai Junchen, Zhuang Wen's heart was full of pain and remorse, how could he be blind and believe in a villain like Wu Sansi?

Since the day he fell into the hands of Lai Junchen, he knew that he would inevitably die in the hands of Lai Junchen, and today he was taken away, which meant that death was gradually coming, Zhuang Wenzhong closed his eyes in despair.

The carriage was speeding along the official road to Luoyang, the road was a little uneven, and the carriage slowed down, with dense grass on both sides, and in the distance was an endless wheat field, a low hill covered with dense woods, standing among the wheat fields.

The winter wheat is almost ripe, the heavy ears of wheat are rolling like waves in the wind, at a glance, it is magnificent, Lai Feng is riding on a horse, and is talking with several samurai about the beauties in the manor, although no one dares to touch the woman of Lai Junchen, but Lai Feng relies on himself to be Lai Junchen's nephew, and occasionally steals food.

"I don't understand, isn't it a waste for my uncle to raise so many women on the manor and not have time to touch them? ”

One of his subordinates smiled flatteringly: "Su Gan's daughter is very beautiful, it seems that Zhongcheng doesn't like her very much, so the general might as well ask for her." ”

"I don't like that woman either, crying and crying all day long, and if you touch her a little, you will die or live, in fact, the concubine of Kong Siyuan, the head of the household, is good, she looks white and tender, I tasted it once last time, and it really makes me remember it deeply. ”

Everyone laughed together, and at this moment, there was a sudden sound of bangs on the left, and a dense number of arrows suddenly shot out in the grass, and the powerful arrows shot straight at everyone, and more than 20 black warriors were caught off guard, and they were shot by arrows, screaming and falling off their horses, and in just an instant, more than 20 samurai were half dead.

Immediately after, dozens of black-clothed samurai rushed out of the grass on either side, and they swung their swords and swooped down on the remaining samurai.

Lai Feng was furious, brandished his big sword and slashed away, he was infinitely powerful, condescending, and split three sneak attackers in a row, and the rest of the black warriors drew their swords and mixed with dozens of sneak attackers.

The accident happened, and I saw that countless soldiers suddenly killed from the surrounding wheat fields, and surrounded dozens of sneak attackers from all sides, and the person was Lai Junchen.

He laughed out loud, "You bastards, you're not far from fighting me!"

He shouted, "Kill me!"

More than 100 soldiers came from all directions, and the leader of the black-clothed warriors who sneaked up on the attack saw that he had fallen for the lure plan, and he was in a hurry and shouted: "Break out from the west!"

The black-clothed warriors rushed to the wheat fields to the west, and Lai Junchen's men also swarmed them, surrounded and intercepted them, killing them mercilessly, and both sides suffered heavy casualties, and the two sides fought and walked, gradually moving away from the carriage.

At this moment, more than a dozen gray-clothed men swooped up from the wheat field to the east, pushed several black warriors who were in charge of guarding the carriage to the ground, covered their mouths and killed them with a sword.

They quickly pried open the door of the carriage, dragged Zhuang Wenzhong out of the carriage, ran into the wheat field and disappeared.

At this time, the fierce battle between Lai Junchen's men and the black-clothed warrior still did not stop, Lai Feng slashed a head with a sword, and was laughing proudly, but unexpectedly, a cold arrow shot from the grass in the east, the arrow was strong, and an arrow pierced Lai Feng's throat.

Lai Feng covered the arrow in his throat, 'Boom!' and let out a muffled cry twice, and fell from his horse on his back.

"Come to Zhongcheng!"

A samurai shouted in a hurry, and when he turned around, he saw that his nephew had fallen from an arrow, and he was in a hurry, urging his horse to gallop, and he jumped off his horse to help his nephew, only to see that he had lost his breath.

Lai Junchen was so angry that he slammed his fist on the ground, and at this time, someone shouted on the other side of the carriage, and Lai Junchen saw that the door of the carriage was wide open, and the men who stayed behind to guard the carriage were killed on both sides of the carriage.

He was suddenly shocked, left his nephew's body and ran towards the carriage, and when he ran to the carriage, he saw that the carriage was empty, and Zhuang Wenzhong was gone.

Lai Junchen looked around, only saw patches of wheat waves, where was Zhuang Wenzhong's shadow, he suddenly understood, there were still people lying in ambush outside, taking advantage of the chaos to snatch Zhuang Wenzhong.

Lai Junchen yelled angrily and slammed his fist on the car door.

Due to the appearance of a third party, which distracted Lai Junchen, the black-clothed samurai who desperately broke through also got a glimmer of life, and the remaining thirty or so of them broke through the encirclement and rushed towards the wheat field.

Despite this, the black-clothed samurai who attacked also paid the price of nearly twenty people, and Lai Junchen was furious and ordered all the black-clothed samurai who were injured and not dead to be hacked to death, and then dug a large pit in the grass, and the corpses were thrown into it and buried.

"Zhongcheng, who stole Zhuang Wenzhong?" one of his subordinates asked in a low voice.

Lai Junchen was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, he pulled out his sword and stabbed this subordinate who didn't know whether he was alive or dead on the spot!
