Chapter 373: Temptation
The strangeness of the appearance of the group, and the words that they spoke made Lord Tongzhi break out in a cold sweat, although his face still maintained his usual calmness, but his slightly trembling hands betrayed his true thoughts.
A few cultivators just looked at Tongzhi coldly across the table, and the gloomy leader at the beginning showed a smile that could stop the baby's crying, and said, "Lord Duan also minds, we are just here to congratulate the adult, there is no malice!"
Lord Duan nodded slightly, but his face was not a little happy, don't say that he doesn't believe it, even if he is a fool, he won't believe it, but since the other party didn't do it to himself as soon as he came up, it means that there is still room for mitigation in this matter, and I hope that today I can save the day!
The leader bowed slightly to Lord Duan and said, "In a hurry, I forgot to introduce myself, under the surname Sun, you can call me Deacon Sun!"
Lord Duan hurriedly returned the salute and politely shouted, "Executor Sun!" Then he cleared his throat and said, "I don't know what the deacon has to do today to find this official?"
When Deacon Sun heard the other party claiming to be his own official, he couldn't help but let out a sinister laugh, "My lord, I want to remind me that you are a member of the imperial court, and our Heavenly Soul Sect has made an agreement with the imperial court before, so I am afraid that I will never make a move against you as an official?"
Lord Duan's face also changed, but he still puffed up his chest and said, "Does your sect want to break the agreement with the imperial court?"
Deacon Sun looked at Lord Duan's somewhat empty pupils, and laughed at the other party's strong and middle-class cadres for a while, his face remained unchanged, he couldn't help shaking his head slightly, and said gently: "If you want to attack the adult, just rely on the people under me, I'm afraid the adult has already cooled down!
A young man behind Deacon Sun rolled his eyelids and shouted at Lord Duan: "What if you have an agreement with the imperial court? You are just a little sesame official, even if we kill you, can the imperial court still stand up for you and do the right thing with our Heavenly Soul Sect? Kill you, you will also die in vain! It's just that my deacon is kind-hearted, you kid don't be embarrassed!"
Lord Duan's face turned red all of a sudden, I don't know if he was angry or frightened, but the master knew that what the other party said was right, not to mention that he was just a small acquaintance, even if the prefect was here, if the people of the Heavenly Soul Sect really wanted to kill him, they wouldn't be able to escape!
Even if the imperial court can stand up for itself afterwards, what can it do? Can he come back to life? Until the Heavenly Soul Sect took out some elixir or something, and gave the benefits to the people above, what about himself? When the person dies, I am afraid that the family will not only not get even a hair, but also have to face the retaliation of the Heavenly Soul Sect!
What's more, even if these people kill themselves, they can look like robbers robbing and killing people, and then who would have thought that it was their hands? As long as their hands and feet are clean and they don't leave any living mouth, they may not be able to find trouble with them.
Lord Duan's face changed several times, but he did not burst out, but slowly calmed down, although the words of these people were not to be heard, but it was a disguised show that they had no malice, at least they didn't want their own lives, at least for the time being, their lives were still there.
Lord Duan exhaled heavily, stretched out his hand to the side, and said, "It's a slack in the next step, please sit down with Lord Deacon!"
When several people from the Heavenly Soul Sect heard his words, their faces softened a little, although they still had their nostrils facing the sky, but the coldness in their eyes was less, and Deacon Sun was not polite, and slowly sat down with someone.
Deacon Sun saw that the surname Duan was also considered to be the Tao, and he didn't go around in circles anymore, and said: "A few days ago, a branch altar of our Heavenly Soul Sect was served, and everyone disappeared, and now there is still no news, and the branch altar is built in the territory of the adult, you said that as a magistrate, should you give us an explanation?"
Master Duan also sat down slowly, and while listening to the other party, he slowly picked up the cold tea on his table, and slowly drank it, scolding these people in his heart, but maintaining a thoughtful expression on his face!
The branch altar of the Heavenly Soul Sect? Not to mention that he doesn't know about the branch altar of the Heavenly Soul Sect at all, even if he does, does he dare to take care of it? Did they tell him when they set up the branch altar? Now that something has happened to him, what does it matter to him? He has taken advantage of him? Is he obliged to show them?
Now they know that this is their own territory, but when they stir up the wind and rain, why don't they say that this is their own territory?
Master Duan raised his head and showed a wry smile: "It's not that I deliberately shirk it, I really don't know about this matter, I don't even know that your sect has a branch altar in the local area, let alone other things." Now that your sect is holding you accountable, I really don't know what to say. ”
"You also know that I am just a small acquaintance, there is a prefect above, and there are various masters and yamen below, and I can't manage much!"
There is no need to look at the other party's face, Lord Duan also knows that the other party will not be satisfied with this, before they interrupted him, he quickly changed the conversation and said: "But as long as a few people can provide some clues and want to know something, I will definitely let the people below investigate it carefully, and I will definitely give a satisfactory answer to a few people, what do you think?"
Deacon Sun smiled gloomily, it's really not a loss to be an official, this Tai Chi is really good, first said that he didn't know about the rudder of the Heavenly Soul Sect, and then said that he had a prefect above, and he couldn't control the matter, so he shirked the responsibility and cleaned it up, in order not to offend his own people, and finally promised to help. It's a good calculation!
Deacon Sun didn't say anything more, but a kid next to him suddenly stood up and shouted, "You don't know? Then why don't you tell me about the people of the Golden Hazel Pavilion? Do you still want to quibble and say that those people have nothing to do with you?"
Lord Duan's hands trembled, he didn't expect them to know their relationship with the Golden Hazel Pavilion, except for themselves, almost no one knew, I'm afraid they didn't even know the prefect, I don't know how they knew?
No, he didn't want to hide it, and hurriedly said: "The Golden Hazel Pavilion is indeed in charge of the people below, but I don't know who I offended a few days ago, and let people be destroyed, and now I am also looking for those people, but there is no clue, I don't know what this matter has to do with your sect?"
Deacon Sun had been looking at Master Duan deeply, taking in all his expressions and subtle movements, although he also found his somewhat surprised, frightened and incomprehensible physical performance, but the other party showed more of a kind of generosity and openness.
Since the surnamed Duan admitted his relationship with those ruffians and robbers in the Golden Hazel Pavilion, he didn't want to hide what happened to those people, and when he asked him, he didn't have a weak heart!
Either his city is as deep as the sea, and even his own divine sense recognizes that he has deceived him, or he is really unlucky, is it possible?
Deacon Sun frowned deeply!
