#887 - Take the initiative
Half an hour later, Wei Changtian's carriage stopped outside a secluded courtyard in the east of Linchuan City.
This was exactly where those Nine Truths Sect experts were staying.
Wei Changtian had already been here once last night, but in the end, he did not arrest and interrogate them as originally planned.
And this morning, he even openly "paid a visit", making it clear that he had already figured out how to deal with that Huo Tianyang.
"You guys wait for me outside."
He said to Zhang San and Li Zimu, bent down, and got out of the carriage.
Wei Changtian walked unhurriedly to the outside of the mansion gate, glanced at the copper ring on the door, but did not knock.
Then after a few breaths, a slightly trembling voice sounded from behind the door.
"Who, who is it?"
"Since you already know, why ask knowingly."
Wei Changtian shook his sleeves: "Go tell the four people living in the mansion that I have something to discuss with them."
"."
Simple two sentences, but they contained a lot of information.
Not only do I know that there are four people living here, but I also know that they are inside now.
And this also means that there is no possibility for those four Nine Truths Sect experts to fool him.
Probably not understanding how Wei Changtian found this place, the person on the other side of the door did not speak for a long time.
Wei Changtian certainly didn't have the patience to wait here, so he added in an icy tone.
"What?"
"Do you want me to kill my way in?"
"...G-Gongzi, please wait!"
"T-This humble one will go! Will go right away!"
"."
On the other side, inside the large courtyard.
Just as the doorman ran into the courtyard with his tail between his legs, inside a certain tea room, the four Nine Truths Sect experts happened to be together.
And standing opposite them was a man in official uniform, judging from his attire, he should be a yamen runner.
"Four seniors."
Cupping his fists at the four, the black-clothed runner said solemnly: "Lord Su invites you to go to the yamen immediately to discuss matters."
"Discuss matters?"
A Nine Truths Sect expert in yellow clothes sneered: "Hehe, I'm afraid discussing matters is false, and questioning is the real intention."
"Senior has misunderstood."
The black-clothed runner raised his head, answering neither humble nor arrogant: "His Majesty has already issued an oral decree regarding yesterday's matter, and it will not be pursued in the future."
"Lord Su only wants to invite a few seniors to discuss the great plan of killing the bandits."
They looked at each other a few times, and then the yellow-clothed old man spoke:
"Understood, you go back first, we will go later."
"Yes, thank you for your trouble, seniors."
Cupping his fists and bowing, the black-clothed yamen runner saw that the task was completed and did not waste any words, politely preparing to leave.
However, before he could take a step, a burst of rapid footsteps outside the house caused everyone to frown instantly.
"What's wrong?!"
Looking at the doorman who rushed in慌里慌张 without even knocking, the yellow-clothed old man shouted sharply:
"How can you be so unruly!"
"Elder Liu."
The doorman should also be a member of the Nine Truths Sect, but his status was not high, probably just came along to do chores.
He rushed to the yellow-clothed old man in a panic, pointed behind him, and replied tremblingly:
"Wei, Wei Changtian is here."
"What?!"
Standing up with a "whoosh", the yellow-clothed old man's eyes suddenly widened.
"Have you seen clearly?!"
"S-Seen clearly."
The doorman had a look of wanting to cry but having no tears: "H-He is outside the mansion now, saying, saying he has something to discuss with the four people inside."
"."
The four people inside.
As if time had frozen, the room was silent for a moment.
Including the black-clothed yamen runner who had not yet left, everyone stood愣愣ly in place, their faces full of disbelief.
No one could have imagined that Wei Changtian would appear here.
How did he find this place?
A chill suddenly rose around him, and the yellow-clothed old man's back was instantly soaked in cold sweat.
However, he reacted quickly, and after only a moment, he gritted his teeth and whispered:
"Go! Leave this place first before making plans!"
Although he didn't know what Wei Changtian wanted to do with him, the yellow-clothed old man knew with his ass that it was definitely not a good thing.
He fully understood that the four of them were simply no match for Wei Changtian, so he immediately made the decision to escape.
Ignoring the tremulous doorman, and ignoring the black-clothed yamen runner who was still呆愣 in place.
The four experts of the Nine Truths Sect ran away as soon as they said they would, and in the blink of an eye, they had left the tea room and went straight to the underground passage in the mansion.
They did not choose to escape by climbing over the wall, but chose to take the tunnel.
It could be seen how fearful the four were of Wei Changtian, afraid that they would be discovered by the latter again if they were not careful.
It's a pity that with "Boundless Misty Waves", everything they do is in vain.
"Y-You."
A hundred breaths later, when they emerged from a dry well not far outside the mansion and saw Wei Changtian who was already waiting outside, the four's eyes had become desperate.
And Wei Changtian sneered, his gaze sweeping over the four one by one, and then he said gloomily:
"You guys are a little shameless."
"."
A quarter of an hour later, it was still that tea room.
"哗啦啦~".
The clear tea water poured into the cup, and the fragrance of tea permeated the strange atmosphere.
Wei Changtian sat on the chair pouring tea for himself, while the black-clothed yamen runner and the four Nine Truths Sect experts, a total of five people, stood opposite him, not even daring to breathe loudly.
To be able to make a group of Upper Third Rank experts not even dare to have the thought of resistance, it was enough to see how威慑力 the name of "Living Yama" was.
And after taking a sip of tea, "Yama" himself first turned his gaze to the black-clothed yamen runner.
"Looking at your attire, you should be Su Qi's man."
"What? What are you doing here today?"
"."
His body trembled, and his fists clenched slightly.
Of course, it was impossible for the black-clothed yamen runner to say truthfully "I'm here to gather people to discuss how to kill you", so he could only lower his head and say nothing.
At this moment, he already had the awareness of going to die.
However, Wei Changtian did not do anything, but continued coldly:
"I can guess even if you don't say it."
"Su Qi has already started planning how to kill me, right?"
"In that case, then you go back and give him a message."
"Just say that I am very unhappy now, so the ten-day period is changed to five days."
"He understands what it means."
"Alright, get out."
"."
Waving his hand, Wei Changtian stopped looking at the black-clothed yamen runner after saying the last sentence.
And the latter seemed to have not expected that he could actually live, and愣愣ly stood in place for a long time, before slowly retreating step by step out of the tea room.
Judging from his actions, he was probably afraid that Wei Changtian would go back on his word.
But Wei Changtian never looked at him again, but turned his gaze to the four members of the Nine Truths Sect again.
"Now it's your turn."
"Do you want to live or die, give me a word."
