Chapter 190 Three omissions will not be pardoned
"Did it go well?" A soldier asked Zhao Liang.

"It went well. Wang Boyan has promised to announce our righteous deed of ascending to the state in the court within two days. We will wait for the news for the time being." Zhao Liang replied.

……

Zhao Liang thought things were going well, but when he went out the next morning, he was blocked by Forbidden Army soldiers patrolling the city.

As soon as I walked to the intersection of Fangshi Street where the rental house was located, I saw a group of forbidden soldiers interrogating the residents of Fangshi. After asking a few questions, they took out a portrait and asked the residents:

"Take a look, is it this person?"

The resident looked at them and replied: "They look somewhat similar, but these three are indeed as you said. They are tall and burly, and they go out early and come back late. They never talk to us in the neighborhood."

"When you go back and call someone, tell them that there is a suspect here." The captain of the Forbidden Army ordered his subordinates.

Zhao Liang heard this and walked back quickly.

As soon as I entered the door, I was immediately arranged: "Pack your things, change places, hurry up."

The three of them and Yuchi Jian quickly packed up their things. They planned to go through the front door, but as soon as they reached the intersection, they saw a neighbor leading a large group of people walking towards this direction. They immediately turned around and turned to the back door, turning around several yards. Only then did he get out of this city.

When I came to the street, I found more imperial troops patrolling the street. From time to time, people were stopped for questioning, and they still had portraits in their hands for comparison.

A few people walked through small alleys, carefully avoiding the patrolling sergeant, and walked around for more than an hour before arriving at another rental house.

"I'm going to kill this shameless thief!"

After entering the house, it was temporarily safe, and a sergeant couldn't help but say.

Zhao Liang suppressed the anger in his heart. Even if he killed Wang Boyan now, it would not help. Instead, all the previous work was in vain.

"Yuchi, let me ask you a few officials. Do you think any of them know where they live?"

"You asked." Yuchi replied.

Zhao Liang asked several officials that Xu Han had invited out before, and Yuchi Jian replied that he only knew the addresses of two of them.

On the evening of August 27, under the guidance of Xu Han, Zhao Liang visited the two officials respectively. After a "friendly" exchange, and comparing their answers, Zhao Liang learned that not only did Wang Boyan not mention Dengzhou's resistance to the Jin Dynasty in court, Instead, he reported to Emperor Jingyan that there was a group of Jin spies in Yangzhou City, and he was almost assassinated.

Then there was a city-wide search during the day.

On August 28, they continued to hide in the rented house during the day. At night, Zhao Liang and the others came to Wang Boyan's mansion again, and found that the guards at the mansion had been strengthened, and they could be said to have been completely guarded.

The three of them arrived early tonight, almost as soon as it got dark, and they were already near Wang's Mansion. Zhao Liang planned to break in before Wang Boyan took a rest, then go straight to the room where the last meeting was held, and block him there.

According to Yu Chijian's account, this room is Wang Boyan's study, and Wang Boyan usually stays in this room except for rest.

"Okay, let's split up. You two must pay attention to safety and retreat in time after the feint. Don't lose your life here."

"Understood, Captain!" the two soldiers agreed.

Then the two of them headed towards the front and back doors respectively, while Zhao Liang continued to wait where he was.

"Wang Boyan is a thief, grandpa is here to take your life today."

After a while, there was a sudden loud roar in front of Wang's house, followed by various screams. Zhao Liang could imagine that the soldiers must be killing each other at the front door.Part of the imperial troops patrolling Zhao Liang's side were immediately transferred to support Qianmen.

Before the movement at the front door stopped, the shouts of the Forbidden Army came to mind at the back door: "There are them here, and there are also ones at the back door, come quickly!"

Zhao Liang only heard an officer ordering nearby: "This is the sound of thieves attacking in the east and west. Quick! The remaining people go to the back door."

Then I saw two groups of people rushing towards the back door.

When someone passed by, Zhao Liang no longer hesitated, and immediately rushed out of the hiding place, climbed up the fence, and ran quickly on the roof to charge.This time Zhao Liang drove with all his strength, the bricks and tiles shattered where he ran, and the speed was as fast as lightning, even if the people in the yard saw it, they couldn't react.

It took a few breaths to arrive at Wang Boyan's study, and he happened to see Wang Boyan being escorted out by five or six guards. He probably planned to hide in the secret room in the backyard.

Without saying a word, Zhao Liang jumped directly from the roof, holding the throwing spear with both hands, and threw with both hands one after another. The guards on both sides of Wang Boyan were like skewers of candied haws, being penetrated by the throwing spear and flying backwards.

Wang Boyan only felt that in the blink of an eye, the guards on both sides of him were already empty.

Zhao Liang, who was throwing his spear, pulled out his long knife and killed a guard in front of Wang Boyan with one blow. He put the knife on Wang Boyan's neck and asked in a cold voice:
"Wang Xianggong, two days are up, how do you explain?"

There was a smell of urine, and when Wang Boyan saw Zhao Liang's murderous look, his arms trembled with fear, and there were traces of water oozing out from under his feet.

"It seems that Mr. Wang also knows that he has done something wrong and knows that he will not survive tonight." Zhao Liang added.

"Spare your life! Hero, I know I was wrong. Give me another chance and I will do it. You can have anything you want. I will give you gold, silver, wealth, power and women. I will give them all to you. Please spare your life!"

"Let's go inside and talk." Zhao Liang said, "Let all your people evacuate."

"Withdraw! Everyone withdraw!" Wang Boyan shouted to the Forbidden Army soldiers who came and surrounded them.

But no one actually retreated.

Zhao Liang directly lowered the knife and slashed Wang Boyan's left arm, causing blood to spurt out.

"Be brave, let your husband go quickly, or we will kill all nine of your clans!" a guard officer shouted.

"Ms. sir, your men are very loyal. Otherwise, how about I kill you and then let him lead troops to recover Jingdong and come to Dengzhou to kill our nine tribes?" Zhao Liang said to Wang Boyan.

"You all stand down, do you want me to die?! Whoever doesn't stand down will kill his whole family when I come back!" Wang Boyan was slashed and was already frightened and furious.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the Imperial Guards hurriedly exited the courtyard, but they did not go far and surrounded them outside the courtyard.

Zhao Liang took Wang Boyan into the study, closed the door, and blocked the view from outside. Then he took back the knife and said, "Ms. Wang, you don't keep your word. When the matter has reached this stage, how do you think it will end?"

"I will definitely do it this time. Now I really realize how powerful you are. You warriors are extremely brave. The story of resisting gold must be true. I will report to the officials tomorrow."

"'Excuse me again and again, but not forgive me three times.' You are a scholar, how can you not understand this? You have broken your trust with me twice, how can I trust you?" Zhao Liang replied.

This sentence comes from "Guan Zi·Li Zheng", which means that the first and second violations can be tolerated, but repeated violations cannot be forgiven.

"You warriors entering and leaving my mansion are like searching for something. If I break my promise again, you can just take my head directly from my neck without saying anything to me." Wang Boyan vowed.
