The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 865
"Hmph! Patriarch Qu is really arrogant." Liao Cheng led his people to the scene and saw the scene in front of him.

He put his gaze on Zhi Lian's hand, and squinted his eyes. Could that parchment be the real treasure map?

How could Qu Huaiyun care about Liao Cheng at this moment, he was staring at Zhi Lian's movements closely, afraid that if Zhi Lian's hand shook, Qu's glory and wealth would fly away.

"Zhi Lian! This old man will not care about what you did before, as long as you return the things. This old man will give you 1000 taels of silver immediately and send you out of Qu Mansion."

Although Qu Huaiyun felt great hatred in his heart, he knew that he could only appease Zhi Lian first.He didn't believe that Zhi Lian would not be tempted by such a great benefit.

Seeing so many people present, Zhi Lian was not upset.He knew Qu Huaiyun well, and it was absolutely impossible for him to let him go so easily.

That's all I want to trick myself into handing over the treasure map!But once the treasure map is out of his hands, all that awaits him is survival, not death.

Looking around with both eyes, he didn't find Gu Chengyu's figure. He couldn't help being a little disappointed, he couldn't last long.

"How is this going?"

No one answered Liao Cheng's words, and everyone stared at the little servant Zhilian.At this moment, no one dares to get close to him, for fear of offending Zhi Lian.

Liao Cheng rolled his eyes, it was a good time.

"Come here, arrest Qu Huaiyun." Liao Cheng pointed at Qu Huaiyun, suddenly embarrassed.

Everyone present was a little dazed, even Gu Chengyu was at a loss.Are these two not allies?Why did you turn your face at this juncture?
"Lord Liao, what are you doing?" Qu Huaiyun winked at Liao Cheng. Now, no matter in the open or in the dark, many people are staring at the treasure map.

What kind of tricks does Liao Cheng want to play?It's more important to settle the matter in front of you!
Qu Huaiyun looked at the men in black around him, and at some point, so many unexpected guests came to their house.

"Hmph! Patriarch Qu, you rely on your eldest son to be an official in the court, and you are doing harm to the people in the Hejian Mansion. Not only do you take other people's property and land by force, but you also force good families to be slaves, and let other people's families be ruined. During the period, you also used the name of the eldest son Received a lot of benefits, colluded with merchants, and made profits for them. I will not list such behaviors here one by one. When I put you in custody, I will definitely interrogate you strictly and give the people justice .”

Qu Huaiyun had no idea why Liao Cheng would suddenly turn his back on him, and today he and Liao Cheng were plotting how to get the treasure map of the Yi Mansion during the day.

But in this situation, does Liao Cheng want to cross the river and demolish the bridge?
"My lord Liao, don't want to spout blood. This is really a crime of wanting to do it. There is no excuse! This old man is the patriarch of the Qu clan, and my Qu clan is a powerful family in the Hejian Mansion. Whenever Qu clan is mentioned outside, the people will all boast and praise. Are Master Liao trying to ruin the century-old reputation of the Qu family?"

At this moment, Qu Huaiyun guessed that Liao Cheng wanted to cross the river and demolish the bridge, so he panicked.

But thinking of his eldest son who was far away in Sunan Mansion, his flustered heart calmed down a little.

"Hmph! I don't have evidence, so how could I wrong you? Moreover, I learned that today you kidnapped Patriarch Yi's grandson as a threat. Patriarch Qu, although Master Qu and I are colleagues, but This official wants to avenge justice for the people, and must not tolerate it."

Liao Cheng waved his hand, motioning for the guards to come forward.

"I don't think anyone would dare. The eldest son of this old man is the magistrate of Sunan Prefecture. When you visit Qu Mansion late at night, you actually want to arrest him with just a few empty words. Master Liao, we smart people don't speak dark words. Don't patronize The old man is not the kind of stupid person who wants to cross the river and demolish the bridge. If the old man says something that should not be said at that time, Mr. Liao, don't blame the old man for not choosing what to say."

Qu Huaiyun didn't care about the treasure map anymore, you pointed at Liao Cheng and said angrily.

Liao Cheng didn't take Qu Huaiyun's threats seriously.

This Qu Huaiyun thought he was holding something against him!Little did he know that he was already prepared.

"I've done my job well, Patriarch Qu, don't go after me indiscriminately. Otherwise, adding another official who slandered the imperial court will be an even worse crime!"

Liao Cheng glanced at Qu Huaiyun leisurely, and then looked at the mansion, Qu's!From today onwards, there will be no glory in the past.

"Master!" The servants and followers around Qu Huaiyun were a little at a loss, and they were even more panicked.

Master Liao meant to arrest the master?But the relationship between Mr. Liao and the master was obviously very good before, and they often have banquets together!

"I would like to advise Patriarch Qu not to resist stubbornly. The outside of the mansion has already been surrounded."

When Liao Cheng saw that Qu Huaiyun still refused to give in, he couldn't help sneering.

Isn't Qu Huaiyun relying on the fact that his eldest son Qu Youen is a magistrate?I'm afraid Qu Youen is too busy to take care of himself now, how can he manage Qu's affairs?

Thinking of his master's arrangement, he couldn't help feeling a little more confident.

"My little brother, what is wrong with you? Don't worry, I will definitely uphold justice for you. The things in your hands are evidence of a crime and need to be handed over to the court. You come to this officer, and I will Guarantee that Patriarch Qu will never hurt you again."

Liao Cheng spoke kindly to Zhi Lian, his seductive appearance, coupled with his upright appearance, was enough to make people trust him.

It's a pity that Zhi Lian is also very familiar with Liao Cheng, who used to come to the mansion to discuss important matters with the master.

This person's temperament is not as upright and reliable as it seems on the surface, and even more sinister than Qu Huaiyun.

Qu Huaiyun is well aware of the mistakes he made in the past.

Even the two of them sometimes work hand in hand together, this is a hypocrite in official uniform.

Gu Chengyu frowned without ignoring the greed and cruelty that flashed in Liao Cheng's eyes.

Now that there are so many people present, he must not be exposed at the moment.

If he joins the ranks of the competition, then Zhi Lian might smash the pot and burn the treasure map.

But if he appeared as an imperial envoy, Gu Chengyu didn't think these people would let him get the treasure map.

The power and status are alluring, these people may use the chaos to secretly kill and bury themselves in the Hejian Mansion.

People died, why didn't they make up some reason?Even buried himself, once and for all.

Gu Chengyu is not happy to expose his kung fu.Because Lu Chen was also present, he had already seen that Lu Chen was ready to go.

Zhi Lian shook her head, looked around again to make sure that the person still didn't show up.

No matter!No matter what the reason was for not coming, he didn't want to wait any longer.

Liao Cheng's face darkened, he glanced at the lantern very close to Zhi Lian, the faint candlelight was flickering in the shade of the lantern.

How much he wished that the lantern would be blown out by the wind at this moment, but it was a pity that the candlelight seemed weak, but it seemed invincible.

Huo Miao insisted on sticking out her chest, looking small in this dark night, but very dangerous.
