Fortunate Young Gentleman

Liang family.

Liang Tao's swollen legs have returned to normal. Except for a slight limp when walking, there seems to be nothing serious.

Everyone in the Liang family marveled at this, but the head of the Liang family looked suspicious, looked at Liang Tao, and asked, "You mean, something bit you in that person's room?"

Liang Tao nodded and said with lingering fear: "I just walked into his room and was bitten by something..."

"It's interesting... the officials from the capital actually know the art of Gu. This is collaborating with the enemy..." The head of the Liang family touched his beard and said: "Go to the Governor's Mansion to find your father, and lead people to arrest him for interrogation tomorrow morning. "

Liang Tao pinched the joints of his fingers and gritted his teeth: "How dare you let bugs bite me? You will wait for me tomorrow..."

…

There was no one to disturb her last night. Tangning had a very comfortable sleep. At dawn, he opened his sleepy eyes and suddenly saw another person in the room.

Tang Ning was startled and lost all sleep in an instant. When she jumped up from the bed, she realized that the old beggar was sitting at the table.

He got out of bed, looked at him, and asked angrily: "What have you been doing these days?"

The old beggar picked his feet and said, "Go and catch up with some old friends."

Tangning asked, "Found it?"

"No." The old beggar shook his head and said, "They have already kicked off and returned to the west."

Tangning walked over, suppressing the anger in her heart, and said, "Can you be a team player and stop disappearing? Do you know how much time we have wasted along the way because of you?"

The old beggar glanced at him, smelled his palm, and said, "Who asked me to come in the first place?"

Tang Ning shouldn't covet the old beggar's superb martial arts. In fact, it's the same as bringing Old Zheng here. He just came to see Su Mei, and he wouldn't go head-to-head with the ten elders. He really wanted to meet two or three Lao Zheng can barely handle it alone.

The old beggar's martial arts skills are high, but he is not obedient at all. No matter how high his martial arts skills are, he is just a hindrance.

Tang Ning had given up hope that the old beggar could help him. He sent Liu Zheng, the executioner of Shannan West Road, out of the inn. Liu Zheng would handle the matter of the Liang family and Governor Liang.

Liu Zheng and others walked out of the inn with the assassins from last night. Not far away, dozens of figures were walking towards them.

The leader was Liang Tao, the second son of the Liang family. Behind him were the officials from the governor's office.

He looked at the governor's official beside him and asked, "What is the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason?"

The official said: "According to the law, people from the Yi Tribe to the Nine Tribes should be killed, depending on the severity of the crime."

Liang Tao snorted coldly and said: "You are just a small official in the capital, but you dare to dominate Wanzhou. This time, I will let you confiscate your home and exterminate your clan..."

A servant behind him looked forward and said, "Sir, they are right there."

Liang Tao raised his eyes and saw those people outside the inn door. He hurriedly urged the governor's Yamen official: "Why are you still standing there? Get them all captured quickly..."

The official didn't seem to hear what he said. When he looked at a figure at the door of the inn, his body trembled and he lost his voice: "Liu, Mr. Liu..."

The mention of Liu Zheng, the executioner of Shannan West Road, is a nightmare in the minds of officials in more than ten states of Shannan West Road, including Wanzhou. Even the governor has to avoid him. The person they want to arrest this time is actually Lord Liu?

That wasn't what shocked him the most.

What frightened him even more was that Mr. Liu, who was sitting alone in the first place on Shannan West Road, was standing behind a young man, saying something with a respectful expression. Could it be that that young man was better than Mr. Liu's status is even more noble?

The governor's son, how big a trap this time has been...

Liang Tao was urging the officials of the Governor's Office, and naturally he did not notice that behind the crowd, the old housekeeper, who even his uncle, the head of the Liang family, had to treat with respect, was staring at a figure at the door of the inn. There was a look of extreme fear on his face.

Almost instantly, his figure disappeared from the spot and ran towards the rear, as if to avoid the plague.

On the street, the running old man's mind had long been lost. When he saw that figure that he had not seen for decades, a turmoil arose in his heart.

He would never forget the humiliation he suffered that day.

As a distinguished elder of Wan Gu Sect, he was actually stripped of all his clothes and tied to a tree. He could only watch helplessly as the man walked away with the sect's secret book of suppressing the sect...

Even after so many years, his voodoo skills and martial arts have greatly improved, but it is still difficult to erase the psychological trauma he suffered back then.

That man was his nightmare, a nightmare he kept repeating over the years.

On the street, everyone had already reached the inn. Liang Tao looked at the official and asked in surprise: "Why don't you take action?"

The official ignored him, walked forward quickly, walked to Liu Zheng's side, bowed and said: "Wanzhou Governor Shi Qin Guan, I have met Lord Ti Xing."

Liu Zheng glanced at him, pointed at the dozens of officers behind him, and asked, "What's going on?"

Liang Tao stood there blankly, looking at Liu Zheng, unable to place his mind: "Issuing, punishing?"

At this time, there was one person who was even more unbelievable than Liang Tao.

When Liang Tao appeared in front of Tang Ning, Tang Ning knew that he was the leader who broke into the inn last night.

According to Tangning's expectation, this person should be lying on the bed now, with one leg swollen like a pillar... instead of appearing here, walking with a slight limp.

Apparently, someone had detoxified him.

The Liang family actually had a master who was proficient in the art of Gu, and his attainments in the art of Gu were no worse than Bai Jin and Gongsun Ying, and even exceeded them.

Tangning looked at him and asked, "Why are your legs so good?"

Liang Tao had already noticed that the situation was not good. He looked at Tang Ning, then at Liu Zheng, swallowed, and said: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, let's leave now, let's leave now..."

Liang Tao turned around and left without hesitation. Just as Liu Zheng was about to speak, Tang Ning waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about him for now. Quickly order people to close all the city gates in Wanzhou, not allowing anyone to enter or exit, and then send troops to surround Liang Mansion... …”

Liu Zheng looked at him and asked doubtfully: "Sir, what happened to Wanzhou?"

Tangning nodded and said with a smile, "There is a big fish in Wanzhou City..."

There is no place to be found even after wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there.

Tang Ning never thought that the top ten thousand Gu sect he had been looking for was in the Liang family.

A person of the level of the Ten Elders must know more things. Why should he bother to find some branches and follow the clues...

Liu Zheng looked at Tang Ning, realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately said, "I will go and make arrangements right away..."

At this time, inside the Liang family.

Liang Tao, who had just returned to the Liang Mansion, broke into the firewood shed, grabbed Zhao Tianshi by the collar angrily, and said angrily: "What kind of low-ranking officer of the sixth or seventh rank, who is that person!"

The person who can be treated with such respect by Yi Ti Xing is at least a third-grade official, or even higher, a third-grade Beijing official. This is the real giant of the Chen Kingdom. In the mouth of this shrew, he has become a low-level official of the sixth or seventh grade. ?

If she hadn't deliberately misled him by saying that this person was an old acquaintance of hers, how could he have caused trouble for such a person?

Zhao Tian looked at him in confusion and asked, "Wha...who is that person?"

Liang Tao gritted his teeth and said, "That little official in the capital you are talking about!"

"He, he is just a minor official in the Hanlin Academy..." Zhao Tian looked at him and said, "It has only been a few years. Even if he is the number one scholar, he can only be promoted to one or two levels at most..."

"The number one scholar?" Liang Tao seemed to remember something, his body trembled, and asked: "In which year was the number one scholar?"

Zhao Tian also realized that something seemed not right and whispered: "Ding, in the early years of Dingyuan..."

Liang Tao looked at her with dull eyes and said, "Don't tell me, his name is Tangning..."

Zhao Tianshi looked at him and said tremblingly: "He, what's wrong with him?"

Liang Tao looked at her directly. She didn't deny it, she just acquiesced.

Tang Ning, Marquis of Dingguo, Right Chancellor of the DPRK, General of the Imperial Guard...

This information flashed through his mind. Liang Tao felt a little dizzy and held on to the wall to keep from falling.

"Damn it..." After a long time, he regained consciousness, glanced at Zhao Tianshi, gritted his teeth, and said in a solemn tone: "Drag him out and bury him!"
