One, "Fourth Uncle." Tang Shuyan suddenly spoke.

"Shuyan?" Tang Jiaju glanced at him.

Tang Shuyan seemed to be blind, although he looked as if he was looking at Tang Jiaju, but Tang Jiaju's figure was not reflected in his eyes, and his two eyeballs were as dull as gelatin.

So Xie Qin can only determine who he is looking at based on the orientation of his face...... It was as if he was looking at the hall master's uncle.

"Leave them all to me. Tang Shuyan said, his tone extremely calm.

The "they" in his mouth naturally referred to the more than twenty Red Fire Hall guards lying in a row on the ground.

When the only sober guard heard this, he was frightened and trembled like chaff.

When Tang Jiaju heard this, he looked at Tang Shuyan.

"Shuhiko, you can't kill them. ”

"Fourth uncle, you can't kill it, only the person in charge, right?" Tang Shuyan responded, his tone still very calm.

When Xie Qin heard this, he immediately understood what he meant, Tang Shuyan meant that except for the person in charge here, the rest of the people could be killed.

Xie Qin knew that Tang Shuyan was vengeful now, but seeing him say such cruel words with a calm face still startled him.

Since he can say such things, then Tang Shuyan definitely doesn't intend to let these guards die well, even the person in charge who can "live" is afraid that he will be tortured half to death by him.

And here, Tang Jiaju thought about it.

Xie Qin looked at Tang Jiaju and thought to himself, what would the hall master's uncle choose?

But no matter how you think about it, these guards seem to have little hope.

It's not that Xie Qin is cold-blooded, it's just that he puts himself in his shoes and considers it from the perspective of Ziming Hall and Xuanzhu Hall, these people, the hope of survival is indeed slim.

He looked at the only sober guard, his eyes were rolling, he looked at Tang Jiaju from time to time, and then at Tang Shuyan, and he didn't show his panic at all.

This guy's appearance of a dead pig at the beginning who was not afraid of boiling water has disappeared without a trace, it seems that that look is just a mask, and this mask, he can no longer wear it.

Xie Qin shook his head secretly, I thought you were really ready to die.

Now, the lives of this guy and a group of companions next to him are in the hands of Tang Jiaju's thoughts.

As for Tang Zhong nearby, at first he looked at Tang Jiaju and waited for instructions.

Now that Tang Jiaju was groaning, he walked up to Tang Jiaju and whispered, "Hall Master, the book... The young hall master also has a point. ”

Tang Jiaju glanced at Tang Zhong.

"What do you want to say?"

Tang Zhong said in a low voice: "My subordinates thought ...... We are now going to fight the Red Fire Hall to the end, since we want to fight to the end and completely thwart the big plot of the Red Fire Hall to annex the Tang Sect, then ...... My hall is going to go all out, hall master, with all due respect to my subordinates, the strength of the Red Fire Hall ...... Although it is not as good as the Nine Poisons Hall, it is much more powerful than my Hall and the Xuanzhu Hall......"

Tang Jiaju looked at Tang Zhong and said in a deep voice: "Ah Zhong, what do you want to say?"

Tang Zhong said: "Hall Master, my subordinates think that if we leave these people alive, we will definitely not be able to put them back, so we are bound to divide some people to guard them, and in this way, our strength will be weakened." ”

Tang Jiaju kept staring at Tang Shuyan, and found that he showed a look of wanting to speak, so he said again: "Let's talk straight." ”

Tang Zhong said: "...... We don't need to spend too much manpower on them, and our hall has to go all out to deal with the Nine Poisons Hall. ”

Although they didn't speak loudly, Xie Chin's ears were good enough to hear their conversation clearly.

Tang Zhong said very vaguely, but Xie Qin could hear the meaning of his words, Tang Jiaju's meaning was very clear, these guards of the Red Fire Hall could not stay. If they stay, they will divide some guards to guard them, just like just now, but if they keep guarding, they will definitely not be able to keep only a few people, but more people will be left, so that the strength of Zimingtang will be weakened - this is not wrong, those guards who have to guard the Red Fire Hall all the time, naturally they will not be able to participate in dealing with the Red Fire Hall.

But because of this, so many people were killed...... It's a bit too much.

Xie Qin was thinking about it here, and Tang Jiaju was also thinking about it over there.

What Tang Zhong said made a lot of sense, but he had to think about other things.

He was now suppressing the anger in his heart, and it was a very difficult task to maintain his sanity in this state.

The so-called other things are the situation on Tang Shuyan's side.

Originally, when Tang Shuyan proposed to cooperate, he was the only one, but what he represented was the entire Xuanzhu Hall. And now that the elites of the Xuanzhu Hall have joined, he is no longer alone. Originally, Tang Shuyan had been acting for the position of the hall master of the Xuanzhu Hall in the past, so he had the title of "Young Hall Master". Now that Jia Ji has passed away, he is a veritable young hall master, and the elites of the Xuanzhu Hall are bound to follow him. And if he proposed to execute these guards, the elites of the Xuanscepter Hall would not say a word, and even because they were eager to avenge the hall master, they would support it even more.

In this case, what to consider is, if Tang Shuyan insists on executing these guards, what should he do?

Another thing to consider is, what are the benefits of keeping these guards?

At this time, Tang Li persuaded: "Hall Master, my subordinates think that it is more appropriate to leave them a way to live......

When Tang Jiaju and Tang Zhong heard this, they looked at him together.

"Xiaoli, what do you mean by that?" Tang Zhong asked in a deep voice, "Leaving them alive will only increase our burden, how can it be appropriate?"

Tang Li responded: "Brother Zhong, the junior brother thinks that these guards are likely to be forced to participate in the conspiracy, and the mastermind behind the real implementation of this big conspiracy is the upper echelons of the Red Fire Hall - the subordinates think that only some of them are carrying it out, and the entire Red Fire Hall is involved, and the little brother thinks it is unlikely." And these little people at the grassroots level may not be voluntary...... And," Speaking of this, he paused, looked at Tang Zhong, and then at Tang Jiaju, "Our ultimate goal is only to eliminate the mastermind behind the conspiracy, not to remove the entire Red Fire Hall, right?"

Tang Jiaju didn't answer immediately after hearing this, but continued to think.

"Xiao Li's words are wrong!" Tang Zhong immediately retorted.

Tang Li hurriedly said: "Brother Zhong, what do you mean ......?"

Tang Zhong said: "Do you think that such a big matter as imprisoning the master of the Xuanshen Hall is something that can be made public within the Red Fire Hall?"

"Of course not. Tang Li immediately shook his head.

"That's it. Tang Zhong said, "Since it is a secret deed that cannot be made public, how can the mastermind behind the scenes force the low-level people of the Red Fire Hall to participate in it?

"This ......," Tang Li was speechless.

Tang Zhong said again: "From kidnapping the young lady to imprisoning the master of the Xuanzhu Hall, these two actions are all secret activities, and those who can participate in them are definitely not ordinary low-level gangs, they must be involved in the conspiracy, they are part of the cabal, at least, they also receive hush money and settlement fees." ”

Tang Li had nothing to say, firstly, there was indeed a huge loophole in his own consideration, and Brother Lai Zhong's analysis was indeed reasonable.

Tang Zhong said again: "So whether it is the guards here or the people who imprisoned the young lady, they are all innocent and part of it, these people, I will say it bluntly, they are innocent." ”

"But if you do this, you will inevitably offend Chihuo Hall too much......" Tang Li still hesitated.

"Offended too much?" Tang Zhong retorted, "Xiao Li, you are counting the entire Red Fire Hall in the big conspiracy. Think of it this way, our actions are like surgery, and Chihuotang is a patient who needs surgery. What we have to do is to cut off the rotten parts of the Red Fire Hall, so as to prevent the rotten parts from spreading to the whole body and destroying the entire Red Fire Hall. So this kind of thing is a great thing for Chihuo Tang, how can it be said that it is too offended to death?"

"That's ......" Tang Li groaned, Brother Zhong said too reasonably.

"The most important thing in surgery is precision, so we can't hurt the innocent Red Fire Hall gang, and on the other hand, we can't let go of any corrupt gang. Tang Zhong said in a deep voice.

"Brother Zhong has a point. Tang Li nodded, he was persuaded by Tang Zhong.

Tang Zhong said to Tang Jiaju again: "Hall Master, my subordinates think so. ”

Tang Jiaju pondered for a while.

"Fourth uncle?"

Tang Shuyan began to urge, although his expression was calm, Xie Qin could see that he was impatient.

Tang Jiaju glanced at Tang Shuyan.

"Shuhiko, interrogate them well. Tang Jiaju said.

"Of course, I'll interrogate the person in charge. Tang Shuyan nodded.

"I'm not talking about the people in charge, I'm talking about everyone. Tang Jiaju said.

Tang Shuyan's eyes moved.

"Fourth uncle, what do you mean by this?"

Tang Jiaju said in a deep voice: "Dig out everything they know about the Nine Poison Hall." ”

“...... What to do with them after that?" Tang Shuyan asked again.

Tang Jiaju's brows furrowed.

"All of them were anesthetized and put them to sleep. He said.

"What?" Tang Shuyan's stagnant expression fluctuated unprecedentedly.

"Hall Master?" Tang Zhong and Tang Li said in unison, looking at Tang Jiaju with a puzzled expression.

"Poison them and put them to sleep until we thwart the plot of the Red Fire Hall. Tang Jiaju said in a deep voice, "When all the dust settles, hand over these people to the fort, ask the truth, and then deal with them in the fort." ”

"Fourth Uncle, are you going to hand them over to the castle?" asked Tang Shuyan.

"That's what I meant. Tang Jiaju nodded. [.]
