Chapter 220
Zhang Jiao is sitting in the outer courtyard, chatting with these disciples of the emperor. Zhang Jiao is handsome and good at talking. These rangers only chatted with him for a while, and they chatted very well. He has a unique personal charm, even the most He didn't lose his demeanor when his beloved younger brother disappeared, but he could also see the worry and anxiety in his brows.

"Mr. Zhang, don't worry, Xieduting, we are as good as we can count on, and we are familiar with every vital point. If elder brother is willing to lead us to look for it, younger brother will definitely be able to find it." A ranger comforted, Zhang Jiao nodded, Said: "Thank you all strong men, but I really don't know whether the two disciples are alive or dead..."

"This" Many rangers don't know what to say.

And in the firewood room of the Hou Mansion a hundred steps away from them, his two missing disciples were hanging on the beams, looking extremely miserable. Uncle Liu approached them, squinting his eyes, opening his horns, he knew it, In the past ten years, the most prestigious alchemist on both sides of the river has many myths and stories about him. He even has many followers in Hejian Kingdom.

He is different from other alchemists. There are a lot of alchemists in the Han Dynasty, but most of the alchemists are looking for money. They make money by doing divination for others, avoiding evil spirits and expelling ghosts to support their families. For this type of alchemists Well, Uncle Liu really doesn't like it, but this one, who dissipates his family property and helps the people everywhere, without seeking any money, such behavior is a bit unusual.

You must know that even the current head of alchemists, the Zhang family in Guanzhong, is asking for money, and has never been as selfless as Zhang Jiao. Therefore, Uncle Liu has always suspected that this person must have a big conspiracy, but not long ago, Tianzi Yinggou and embroidered clothes envoys appeared in large numbers in Hebei, and many alchemists were arrested. Liu Bo was also watching, and sometimes he would help.

At such a moment, Zhang Jiao came to look for himself, and even wanted to meet the emperor. Uncle Liu had to make sure that this person had no evil intentions or made any treasonous remarks before recommending him to the emperor. The reason why he attacked Zhang Jiao was because Uncle Liu still respected ghosts and gods. Ever since he saw that fish, he had already believed that there were gods above his head.

Therefore, he has always kept a respectful distance from many alchemists who are difficult to distinguish between true and false.

If it weren't for the increasing number of Zhang Jiao's disciples and growing prestige, he would not have attacked his disciples. Uncle Liu raised his head and looked at Han Jichang who was at the side. Han Jichang picked up a long stick from the side and hit one of them violently On one person, that person woke up suddenly, looked at the two people below in horror, and shouted hoarsely: "Old thief?? It turned out to be you!! I have no enmity with you!"

Before he finished speaking, he was hit by Han Jichang's stick again, and he was so painful that he couldn't speak.

"Hehe, I have already known about your plans for rebellion. Rebels, everyone will be punished!" Liu Bo said coldly, and the one who was hung was Zhang Liang. With tears in his eyes, he argued: "Where did we ever have such a conspiracy?? It's really wronged!!"

"Heh, Zhang Jiao was arrested for treason, and you're still making excuses here?"

"What? Brother?? Brother has a heart of benevolence and righteousness, loves the people and saves the world, why do you frame him like this!!" Zhang Liang yelled a little hoarsely.

"Oh, if you tell the truth, I can write to the emperor and save you from the death penalty."

"We have no intention of rebellion!!"

Uncle Liu narrowed his eyes, and asked with some doubts: "Could it be that you have been wronged? When you came here, some of you came to inform the court and said, you will turn your back on you." Hearing this, Zhang Liang He widened his eyes and shouted: "But that fellow Tang Zhou??" Liu Bo was startled and said, "How do you know?"

Zhang Liang shouted angrily: "Old man, don't believe what this thief says!"

"In the past, natural disasters continued and the people suffered. My teacher couldn't bear it. In the name of the imminent disaster, he helped the people. He asked for food from powerful families from all over the country and distributed it to the people. Many disciples like me admired the brother's benevolence. Only Tang Zhou, who received the great kindness from Master, did not think of repaying it, and he repeatedly questioned Master, if a catastrophe strikes and the celestial phenomena are lost, what will happen to the big man?"

"Since the Holy Son of Heaven ascended the throne and the whole country was in peace, this thief has always criticized Shijun, thinking that Shijun's words are not true. We also reprimanded him. This guy must be dissatisfied, so he framed him like this, Shijun I just said that the catastrophe is coming, it is not to slander the temple, nor is there any disloyalty, I hope the old man can distinguish clearly!"

Uncle Liu was taken aback, and said, "Put him down quickly! Could it be that we caught the wrong person!"

Han Jichang on the side asked hesitantly: "It's not yet concluded, how can we believe his words?"

Uncle Liu said sternly: "It's not yet settled, so I don't know the truth. If I wrongly hurt a good person, how can I feel at ease? Let them go!" Han Jichang then let the two people off the beam, and the other The disciple fell into a coma, but Zhang Liang was moved with tears in his eyes. He was put on the ground, and Zhang Liang bowed to Uncle Liu with difficulty.

"Oh, but your brother is still suffering."

Uncle Liu said helplessly: "You don't know, the emperor sent Zhang He to investigate. This man is a cruel official. After capturing your brother, he tortured him to extract a confession. I'm just a white man, and there's nothing I can do about him."

"Old man, save my elder brother. Elder brother will follow the way of peace and will never do things that disturb peace. Everyone in the elder brother's family knows that the elder brother wrote a taboo saying: the sky will not die, the sky will stand forever, the age is in Jianning, the big man Yongxing, teach us to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, the Taiping Dao believers are always talking about it. How could my brother plot evil??"

"Oh, that's how it is. It's the fault of the old man. Oh, I'm sorry, but I still hope for atonement! Atonement!" Uncle Liu suddenly bowed down to meet Zhang Liang. Like...er...", Zhang Liang widened his eyes, a sword pierced his heart, and Uncle Liu was holding a long sword, which had been hanging on Han Jichang's waist before.

Blood gushed out from the corner of Zhang Liang's mouth, and Uncle Liu said in a low voice, "Atonement!"

The sword was pulled out, Zhang Liang fell to the ground immediately, and Uncle Liu pierced the stunned disciple with his sword himself, and sent both of them on the road. Zhang Liang stared at Uncle Liu, unwilling to die. Han Jichang, as a ranger, he was a little timid, and he didn't dare to look at Uncle Liu's face. Uncle Liu killed two people and said, "You can deal with it directly."

"Tomorrow, send someone to help Zhang Jiao to find his disciples"

"Yes!"

Uncle Liu went to a pool in the Hou's mansion, washed his hands, and tidied his clothes. He returned to his dizzy and terminally ill appearance just now, bent over and leaned on a cane, and walked towards the outer courtyard.

But at this moment, Zhang Jiao, who was talking with people in the outer courtyard, felt that his chest was extremely tight, and he was a little out of breath. He began to breathe violently, and everyone was a little surprised. Zhang Bao quickly supported him, and Zhang Jiao was breathing violently. , As soon as his heart ached, he gradually calmed down again. He frowned and let out a breath, but felt a little strange in his heart.

Now, although he didn't have that feeling of suffocation, his heart was still heavy and unnatural.
