Chapter 133 Beware of Fraud [Seeking monthly votes! ]
"What's wrong?" Liang Yue quickly pushed him and said, "Go out and talk."
"Huh?" Bai Zhishan was stunned for a moment.
No.
Shouldn't we fast forward now?
Why don't you play by the rules?
"My sister and mother are at home, and I was afraid of scaring them." Liang Yue explained.
Of course, I couldn’t tell anyone about the Enlightenment Tree, so I could only use the women of the Liang family as an excuse.
Bai Zhishan had no time to argue with him about this, so he went to hide in the corner of the alley opposite the Liang family's house - the thugs he sent over also hid here.
Then he said, "Master Liang, I wanted to come and look for you some time ago, but I couldn't find you anywhere. I heard that something happened to you. Now I really have nowhere to go. Fortunately, you are back."
"Please tell me slowly what happened exactly," Liang Yue said soothingly.
Bai Zhishan is usually a very calm person, but the fact that he is so anxious may mean that the situation is indeed serious.
"Ever since Yang Panshi of the Nanzhou Chamber of Commerce sued Father-in-law Lu, the emperor handed the matter over to the Ministry of Justice for joint investigation, and the Ministry of Justice directly investigated the Longya Gang. Father-in-law Lu wanted the Longya Gang to take everything, and wanted to put all the blame on Boss Hong and the deceased Minister of Works Guo Chongwen, saying that they colluded with each other inside and outside to commit all the cases of the Ministry of Works." Bai Zhishan narrated quickly.
"Boss Hong didn't want to take the blame. He expected that Father-in-law Lu would attack him, but he didn't expect Hong Xi to betray him. Boss Hong was almost killed. He escaped with injuries after Yingtang He Wuyang risked his life to save him. His whereabouts are unknown now. His daughter Hong Yuling fell into the hands of the Lu family. They want to use his daughter to force him to show up."
"At this time, the Dragon Tooth Gang was controlled by the Lu family, and the elite were in the hands of Hong Xi. Liu Hanyi and I had no choice but to pretend to be friendly with them and pretend to be willing to help them give false testimony to prove that it was Boss Hong who was in collusion with Guo Chongwen. We secretly found the location where Hong Xi imprisoned the eldest lady, and I rescued her. The people in the Tiger Hall should find out soon, so the eldest lady and I escaped separately, and I was responsible for leading the people away." Bai Zhishan looked back and said, "They will catch up soon. I don't have time to go to the Ministry of Justice in the north of the city, so I can only hide here with you."
"Hmm?" Liang Yue's eyebrows were stern. "Are you saying that the people from Tiger Hall are going to catch up with us soon?"
He has been so busy these days that he hasn't really paid attention to the situation of the Longya Gang.
Unexpectedly, the situation changed suddenly.
"It should be soon, and there may be people from the Lu family." Bai Zhishan said.
Liang Yue asked anxiously: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Bai Zhishan spread his hands and said, "You asked me to speak slowly."
Liang Yue stopped talking nonsense and turned around and called out, "Xiao Yun!"
Liang Xiaoyun came out, and Liang Yue hurriedly said, "Don't go to the academy yet. Ride Dahei to the Evil Slaying Division to report the news and ask them to send some experts over as soon as possible."
"Okay." Liang Xiaoyun didn't waste any words. She nodded and went to lead the horse. At the same time, she said, "But I have an important exam today. If I fail my studies later, you have to help me explain to my mother."
"Don't worry." Liang Yue said, "An exam is definitely not as important as Master Bai's life."
Liang Xiaoyun glanced at Bai Zhishan indifferently.
The look in her eyes, as if looking at trash, seemed to say, "That's not certain."
Bai Zhishan said hurriedly: "I know a lot of useful information and helped Sir Liang a lot."
Liang Xiaoyun's eyes just changed to "that's good enough" and she untied the horse rope.
Dahei was also snorting, looking reluctant.
This horse was originally in the Prince's Eastern Palace. It was wild and difficult to tame. It was dissatisfied because it could not go out to gallop and was tired all day long. But after coming to the Liang family, its temperament changed drastically. Every time it was taken out, it was very reluctant and wished to lie in the stable all day.
From a wild horse, it suddenly became a stay-at-home horse.
All these changes were naturally caused by the Enlightenment Tree. In the single room next to the Enlightenment Tree, any species with a little bit of spirituality who lives there would be reluctant to go out.
So Liang Xiaoyun glared at it with a cold look in her eyes.
Dahei jumped up immediately, barked twice, and transformed into a dragon horse treading on snow under dark clouds again. He even half squatted down, with a look of flattering intent.
Cowardly look.
Liang Yue shook his head helplessly.
However, since becoming a mystic, the light in Xiaoyun's eyes has indeed become sharper.
Liang Xiaoyun rode away on his horse, while Liang Yue pulled Bai Zhishan aside.
"You won't let me hide in there?" Bai Zhishan asked.
"They might guess my house, so I'll arrange for you to hide nearby." Liang Yue pulled him to Dachun's door and knocked on it. "Dachun, are you there?"
Pang Chun's huge body staggered out of the door. Seeing that it was Liang Yue, he immediately opened the door and said with a smile: "A Yue, what's the matter?"
Liang Yue knew Pang Chun's family very well. He knew that his mother must have gone to the stall early in the morning, leaving him alone at home. He would go to the God General's Mansion to practice after washing and tidying up.
"Dachun, help me keep an eye on him." Liang Yue pushed Bai Zhishan in.
"Okay!" Pang Chun's face suddenly became serious, and his eyes immediately looked at Bai Zhishan with a wild and focused look, motionless.
With his newly acquired understanding of the word "stare", he will definitely be able to complete this task well.
Bai Zhishan felt a chill down his spine when he saw him like that. He suddenly felt as if he had turned into a roasted chicken or a butt, as if he was about to be pierced through.
"I'm not asking you to be mean to him." Liang Yue quickly explained, "I'm asking you to protect him and make sure no one finds him."
After arranging all this, he came to the entrance of the alley.
……
On the southern front of the city, a group of inexplicably ferocious men marched through the long street.
The leader of the Tiger Hall, Hong Xi, was wearing a pair of shorts, revealing a pair of muscular and powerful arms. His eyes were defiant and there was a hint of anger in him.
Behind him were about a hundred people, all of whom were good fighters from the Longya Gang and elite members of the Tiger Hall. Among them were several people leading vicious dogs, and they formed a line and walked through the street, making everyone retreat wherever they passed.
At this time, a carriage came towards them, stopped not far away, and two people got off.
One was a rich young man in brocade clothes, who looked furious. He was the eldest son of the Lu family, Lu Guanxu. Behind him followed a black-shirted guard holding a long sword. He was Zhao Chen, a disciple of the Naihe Sect.
Lu Guanxu walked quickly to Hong Xi. Although he was much stronger than him, Hong Xi still lowered his head and said, "Master Lu."
"Waste!" Lu Guanxu cursed at him, "You even let a little girl run away? What else can you do?" The reason why he was so angry was not only because Hong Yuling was an important bargaining chip for them to threaten Hong Yinsheng to show up, but also because he coveted Hong Yuling's beauty.
But his grandfather strictly ordered that Hong Yuling should not be harmed before Boss Hong showed up, so he just kept waiting.
Who knew that the cooked girl would fly away.
"That Bai Zhishan pretended to surrender and secretly found out where Hong Yuling was imprisoned, and deceived the brothers!" Hong Xi frowned and said a little aggrievedly, "I told the father-in-law before that they are all Hong Yinsheng's direct descendants and cannot be trusted."
"You mean it's my grandfather's fault?" Lu Guanxu glared.
"I dare not." Hong Xi quickly lowered his head again.
He was once the most talented young man in the entire Longya Gang. He was adopted by Hong Yinsheng and cultivated with all his resources. Now he is a martial arts expert of the sixth realm.
It would be a lie to say that I have no arrogance.
Especially when facing a playboy like Lu Guanxu who has accomplished nothing, he looks down on him from the bottom of his heart.
But who can blame him for being born into a good family?
Even if Lawrence Lu was incompetent, his grandfather was the current emperor's father-in-law, and he and the Sixth Prince in the palace were brothers of the same generation. Now the situation was stronger than the person, and Hong Xi could only bow his head.
"Can we catch them back?" Lu Guanxu asked again.
"We are looking for him. Someone saw Bai Zhishan running into Fukangfang. We have surrounded all the streets here. He definitely can't escape!" Hong Xi said heavily.
"As soon as possible!" Lu Guanxu said in a displeased voice, "It's such a big fuss, don't let it take too long to cause trouble."
"Master Lu, I actually have a guess." Hong Xi said flatteringly.
"What guess?" Lu Guanxu asked.
Hong Xi's eyes sparkled, and he whispered tentatively, "If I make a contribution this time, the father-in-law asked me to recognize him as my adoptive father..."
The reason he asked this was because before this, Father-in-law Lu had secretly promised him that when Hong Yinsheng fell, he would personally adopt Hong Xi as his adopted son and let him lead the new Longya Gang.
Hong Xi then decisively stabbed his old adoptive father in the back and turned to his new adoptive father.
But there were some flaws in the plan. Instead of catching Hong Yinsheng, he escaped. The matter of recognizing his son as promised by Lu Guozhang was put on hold for the time being. He originally wanted to use his daughter to force Hong Yinsheng out and then catch him later. This plan could still be accomplished.
Unexpectedly, there were flaws in the handling of the matter, and now Hong Yuling ran away again.
Hong Xi, who was full of flaws, couldn't help but worry that he would be abandoned by the Lu family, so he took the opportunity to ask this question.
But Lu Guanxu just glared at him and said, "Get lost!"
Hong Xi’s smile froze.
"You still want to recognize my grandfather as your godfather. Do you dare to agree if I call you uncle?" Lu Guanxu scolded.
Hong Xi quickly explained, "No, Master Lu, let's talk about our own affairs."
Lu Guanxu was about to spit out saliva, "You are worthy? If we can catch Hong Yuling this time, it will be fine. If we can't catch her, all of you will die!"
Hong Xi was stunned by the scolding, and dared not to hesitate any longer, so he quickly interrupted, "Bai Zhishan had been flirting with a guard named Liang before, and I suspected that he had secretly defected to Liang Fuguo. Now it seems very likely. He came to Fukangfang, and it is very likely that he is going to the home of Liang."
"Liang?" When Lawrence Lu heard this sensitive surname, he calmed down immediately. "Is it the Liang family? But why would the direct descendants of the Liang family live in this place?"
"We have investigated before..." Hong Xi paused, leaned closer and whispered, "It is very likely that these brothers are Liang Fuguo's illegitimate children."
"Ah?" Lu Guanxu was startled and his neck shrank subconsciously, but then he remembered something and deliberately straightened his chest and said, "Liang Fuguo has been beaten by my grandfather and cannot go out of the house. What kind of waves can a bastard like him make?"
"Hehe, Master Lu, you dare to say such things, but we don't dare." Hong Xi said, "So I didn't dare to bring anyone over before you arrived."
"Lead the way!" Lu Guanxu said arrogantly, "I want to see who is more powerful in Longyuan City, the one with the surname Lu or the one with the surname Liang!"
However, facing the possible illegitimate son of Liang Fuguo, he was still on guard. One of his subordinates secretly left the team and quickly went to report the news and call for reinforcements.
The remaining group of people, like a black cloud, led them to Ping'an Alley.
I walked to the entrance of the alley but didn't wait to go in.
I saw a person standing there from a distance.
A handsome young man in official clothes stood there, smiling, quietly waiting for them.
The long street is surrounded by tigers and wolves.
Hundreds of people against one person.
But he was not afraid at all and just stood there calmly.
"Master Lu, he is Liang Yue." Hong Xi whispered.
Lu Guanxu had an unfriendly face, and he felt that the boy seemed vaguely familiar. For some reason, the back of his head began to hurt when he saw him, but he had never seen this person before.
So strange.
Facing the aggressive Tiger Hall thugs, Liang Yue smiled and spoke loudly: "I'm sorry for not welcoming you all."
Lu Guanxu raised his chin and motioned Hong Xi to come forward and talk.
Hong Xi stepped forward and said, "This is Lu Guanxu, the eldest son of the Lu family. We are here to track down the traitor Bai Zhishan of the Dragon Tooth Gang. Liang Duwei... no, I should call you Sir Liang now. You will not interfere in the internal affairs of my Dragon Tooth Gang, will you?"
"Of course not." Liang Yue turned aside and pointed, "Master Lu's arrival brings honor to my humble Ping'an Lane, so I came out to greet you. As for where your traitor is, please come in and search for him yourself."
Looking at the empty alley behind him, Hong Xi showed hesitation, approached Lawrence Lu, and whispered, "Master Lu, this boy is cunning, be careful of fraud."
Good morning.
This is the third time I’ve stayed up all night since I started writing this book. It’s so uncomfortable…
As usual, I will post the chapter first, and then go to sleep when I feel sleepy.
Good brothers who feel sorry for the author, please vote for him to help him sleep well.
Kowtowed.
