I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 264 "Stand" Dispute

It is night, midnight.

Beijing, Minglu Lane, Tao Mansion.

The huge courtyard was quiet, and the two big lanterns in front of the gate swayed faintly in the night wind.

Tao Songzhi, the servant of the household department, was already asleep at this time, but the sudden exclamation outside the room woke him up suddenly.

"boom!"

"You, who are you guys? We know that this is the Tao Mansion!"

"what!!"

"Help! Help!"

"..."

"Master, what's the matter?"

The woman who also just woke up from her sleep grabbed the corner of the quilt tightly and asked Tao Songzhi in a panic.

However, before his husband could answer, the door of the room was suddenly kicked open, and immediately a dozen figures rushed into the room, each of them holding a shining long knife in their hands.

"You, you!"

Seeing the flower feathers attached to the handle of the knife, Tao Songzhi's brain suddenly "buzzed" for a few seconds, and subconsciously blurted out in surprise.

"You, you are Hua Lingwei! What are you doing?!"

"Master Tao has good eyesight."

Hua Lingwei Baihu, who was the leader, snorted coldly, stretched out his hand, and his subordinates immediately raised their knives and surrounded the bed.

"Master Tao, since you have seen our identities, please get dressed and come with us!"

"The villain is also following orders, and I hope that the adults will not make things difficult for the villain."

"..."

The wailing outside the house continued, Tao Songzhi protected the trembling woman behind him, but he had regained consciousness.

"I can go with you, but you have to give me a reason first!"

"reason?"

The hundred households in black sneered, "Lord Tao, there is no reason."

"you!"

Tao Songzhi laughed back in anger, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said three good words in succession.

"Hahaha! Good good!"

"Unexpectedly, the Wei family is still as lawless as ever!"

"Back then, Wei Changtian led people around Liu's mansion without saying a word, and killed Liu Xiang!"

"Could it be possible for you to have another encounter today?!"

"..."

It's only the beginning of April, and the capital is not that warm yet.

However, Tao Songzhi's face was flushed red, and his back was soaked with sweat, and he didn't know whether it was because of nervousness or anger.

But the hundred households in black standing opposite him were much calmer.

"Master Tao, did you make a mistake?"

"Half a year ago, I, Hua Lingwei, merged from the Xuanjing Division into the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

"So, the villain really didn't understand Master Tao's talk about the Wei family."

Metropolitan Procuratorate.

These three words suddenly made Tao Songzhi's body tremble.

Of course he knew that Hua Lingwei had already left the Xuanjing Division, and he was just influenced by the preconceived idea that "this matter must have been ordered by the Wei family", so he didn't turn around all of a sudden.

But now that the other party has reminded him, he finally realized one thing...

Now that Hua Lingwei has been merged into the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it means that the Metropolitan Procuratorate wants to arrest him.

But the Procuratorate...

"Okay, Master Tao doesn't have to guess anymore."

Seeming to see through his thoughts, Baihu in black leaned closer, and whispered in Tao Songzhi's ear:

"We are here on the emperor's order to arrest your lord and bring him to justice."

"..."

Tao Songzhiwu's eyes widened, filled with fear and disbelief.

"No, impossible!"

"This, this is absolutely impossible!"

"Impossible, don't you know if the adults walk with the villains once?"

Shaking his head, Baihu in black finally lost his patience, pulled away and took two steps back, and the guards around him immediately bullied him forward and tied Tao Songzhi tightly.

"Let go, let me go!"

According to the Daning law, officials of the fourth grade or above are not allowed to keep their mouths shut, not forced to kneel, and not to extort confessions by words or deeds before they are convicted.

Right now, this group of Hualing Guards is obviously not as arrogant and domineering as Wei Changtian was when he went to Zhangfu to kill the toad, so they just tied up Tao Songzhi and didn't keep their mouths shut.

"let me go!"

"I want to see the emperor!!"

"I want to see Liu Zhongchun!!!"

"..."

Shouts of incomparable horror resounded in everyone's ears.

Tao Songzhi still feels that all this is not true, it must be a huge conspiracy laid by the Wei family.

It's a pity that Hua Lingwei, or the Metropolitan Procuratorate did follow Ning Yongnian's order, and it was impossible for the latter to meet him.

As for the current Patriarch of the Liu Family, Liu Zhongchun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials... this current situation is even worse than that of Tao Songzhi.

......

Anhuamen Street, Liu House.

If Wei Changtian were here at this time, he would probably sigh the last sentence "deja vu".

Walls, roofs, gates of various mansions, every room, courtyard... more than a thousand imperial guards in red armor spread all over the Liu mansion, and the unsheathed cold blades reflected the fire, shouting in all directions exploded.

"Abandon the knife! Kneel down!!"

"Everyone come out!"

"Get out! Get out!"

"..."

After more than half a year, a similar scene happened to him again, and everyone in the Liu family felt like a dream.

But several obvious differences let them know that they were not dreaming.

The person who "led the team" last time was Wei Changtian, but this time it was Wei Xianzhi.

Last time the people besieging the mansion were all officers of the Xuanjing Division wearing tiger jersey uniforms, but this time they were all red-armored imperial guards.

The last time it was Liu Yuanshan who came out to confront Wei Changtian, but this time it was Liu Zhongchun.

Compared with Liu Yuanshan, Liu Zhongchun's majestic aura of "powerful person" is weaker.

Of course, this may also have something to do with Wei Xianzhi who he is facing at the moment who also holds great power.

"..."

In the main hall, corpses were lying on the ground, blood was flowing all over the ground, and hundreds of torches lit up the huge room like daylight.

Those who died were all the guards of the Liu family who "resisted in the corner", and some of them had been disarmed by the imperial guards and had their acupuncture points pressed, and they were kneeling outside the house row by row at this time.

Wei Xianzhi looked at Liu Zhongchun who was firmly held down by several imperial guards, and suddenly waved his hand to signal for the latter to let go.

"Yes!"

The person holding the badge of the imperial guards was like the emperor in person, so no one dared to resist the order, and the few people immediately let go and retreated, but kept staring at Liu Zhongchun.

"Master Liu..."

Squinting his eyes, Wei Xianzhi's modest voice could be clearly heard in the room.

"Are you guilty?"

"Convicted?"

Facing the same unexpected situation, Liu Zhongchun was obviously much calmer than Tao Songzhi, and shook his head lightly.

"Lord Wei, forgive me for not knowing what crime I have committed."

"Master Liu, I don't know if you are really confused or pretending to be."

Wei Xianzhi was not an easy man either, he took a stack of letters from a military officer next to him, and casually threw them at Liu Zhongchun's feet.

"Master Liu, take a look, this is all a good thing you did."

"..."

This action was undoubtedly very insulting, but Liu Zhongchun was not angry, just took a deep look at Wei Xianzhi, then bent down to pick up the letters, and read them one by one slowly.

Wei Xianzhi knew that these letters were all fake "evidence of treason", he thought Liu Zhongchun would either argue vigorously after reading it, or be very angry.

However, the calmness of the latter's reaction was far beyond his expectations.

Chapter 265 The "Position" Controversy (Upper Middle)

Shuzhou, Zishi.

Jiuding Mountain, the main altar of Tianluo Sect.

Dark clouds cover the sky and cover the moon, layer upon layer, as dull and depressing as the end of the world.

Looking up, I can occasionally see thunder and lightning rolling in the clouds, the rain has not yet fallen, everything is shrouded in endless darkness, accumulating all the power.

"Senior brother, why has the weather been so strange these few days? I feel like this dark cloud is close at hand."

The 52-storey black tower represents that Tianluo Sect has exterminated 52 "famous and decent sects". At this time, two outer disciples who are in charge of guarding the tower are standing at the bottom of the tower, chatting with each other.

"Who says it's not? The rain has been holding back for so many days. If it really starts to rain, I'm afraid there will be floods."

"That's not the case. Shuzhou hasn't had a flood for many years."

"Hey, let's not talk about this, anyway, these things have nothing to do with us, you and I might as well think about how to be promoted to inner disciples as soon as possible..."

"Brother said..."

"..."

The two briefly discussed the weather. Although they were surprised, they didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, Shuzhou is always rainy, and at least half of the days in a year are cloudy, so the scene now is not too abnormal.

However, at this time.

"Boom!"

"Crack!!"

A thick purple thunder pierced through the night sky and hit the top of Jiuding Mountain. Immediately afterwards, there were several consecutive loud bangs that exploded in the ears of the two of them.

"Shh!"

All the disciples in Tianluo Sect are carefully selected cultivation geniuses, and even the disciples from the outer sects have extraordinary skills.

The moment they saw Zi Lei falling, the two disciples immediately dodged back, and at the same time raised their eyes to look at the top of the black tower that was struck by the lightning.
