Chapter 492 The Hidden Witch of Baiyue

Faced with Li Zongdao's respectfulness.

Shangguan Yi behaved quite indifferently, raised his hands in salute, and said: "It's okay, your lord has misunderstood. I came today just to accompany a friend of mine. I have no official duties. Your lord, you can just pretend that I don't exist."

"friend?!"

Li Zongdao turned his head in confusion, then saw Su Jing, his pupils shrank, and he said in shock: "Cheng...Cheng Yaojin?!"

"Cheng Yaojin is just a pseudonym. My friend's name is Su Jing. He came to see you because he actually has something serious to do."

"Business...then I'll invite you to come to the main hall to talk. Speaking of which, Xiao Wang is also on his way to find his superior. I have something to ask of you."

Li Zongdao subconsciously had an ominous premonition, especially when he glanced at his wife and that bitch...

With a helpless sigh, Su Jing and Shangguan Yi were invited into the main hall.

Immediately, a servant offered fragrant tea.

Then he asked: "I wonder why Mr. Su is looking for me?"

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just..."

Su Jing was sitting in the vast hall with a strange look on his face. Ancient people loved being arty, especially those with noble status. They liked to decorate their homes with some ancient paintings and ancient texts to show their elegance, especially This is especially true since Li Zongdao is known as a Confucian general.

But now it seems that the hall is bare, and the colors of the walls are quite different. There are a few places that look particularly white, as if they have been blocked by other things for a long time, but now it seems...

Li Qingchuan was so ruthless!

"Master Su?!"

Seeing Su Jing looking around his home, Li Zongdao's expression suddenly turned ugly.

"Ah... I'm here for nothing big, just a small matter. I just want to ask, Prince Li, it's time for you to repay the debt you owe me, right?"

"Debt? Where do you start talking about this?!"

"Oh...that's it. Some time ago, there was a girl Li who claimed to be your prince's daughter. She lent me a large sum of money, but unfortunately she was unable to repay it. I asked for it again and again, and she gave me a The IOU asked me to come to the prince to ask for the debt she owed me. I thought the IOU was genuine, and I thought that since the prince is a noble man, he is naturally not short of money, so I let her go. "

"IOU? I wonder how much you owe?"

Li Zongdao's face turned ugly for a moment, and he already had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Su Jing smiled and said: "One hundred thousand taels of gold! Of course, in fact, the princess does not owe me that much, but she said that a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring. Although I only lent her ten thousand taels of silver, But after all, she is also a dignified princess, so how can she only pay me back 10,000 taels of silver? So the rest, she said, will be regarded as my reward, so... Your Majesty, you should first see if this IOU is genuine. of?"

He handed over the IOU.

"You don't have to look...it's true!!!"

Li Zongdao glared at Su Jing fiercely, a stern look appeared on his face, and the fists in his sleeves clenched instantly.

He said coldly: "Master Su, this...this IOU was given to you by my rebellious girl?"

"Yes, it's exactly what she gave me a few days ago."

Su Jing smiled and said: "My lord, how about... you see, you can just pay me back 10,000 taels of silver as before. As for the rest, it doesn't matter."

"Don't worry, as the majestic prince of Li Tang, I will not do such a renegade thing. Since you came to find me with one hundred thousand taels of gold, I will naturally let you return satisfied!"

Li Zongdao said, feeling that his heart was about to break.

That rebellious girl...

He actually used his two sons as hostages and forced the people in the house to hand over everything.

And her attack was even more ruthless. The servants in the mansion just moved a little slower, and she broke the legs of her two sons... That incompetent woman saw her sons being abused, how could she dare to resist, and even Actively cooperate and hand over all the treasures in the house to that woman.

She took what she wanted, burned what she wanted, it was like...she didn't keep anything she didn't want for herself, she burned everything in one go.

One hundred thousand taels of gold!

Even before, I had a huge sum of money, but now...

Now... the one hundred taels of gold in the mansion should still be available, right?

This bitch, who even took away the things in his treasure house, must have learned about the organization from the traitor. In order to let his son get the map of mountains and rivers smoothly, he deliberately let him I accidentally saw the mechanism that I used to open the secret room, but I didn't expect that it would cause me to lose so much!

This person named Su Jing must be related to that rebellious girl, and the two of them may even be in the same group, but now...he actually came...with her.

Li Zongdao secretly glanced at Shangguan Yi and wondered what the relationship was between her and this Su Jing.

He couldn't attack rashly, otherwise, if he offended her... In the future, Datang might no longer have a foothold for himself.

But when it comes to repaying the money, I can't afford that much money now. If I only pay back 10,000 taels of silver... 10,000 taels...

Someone comes to me asking for money with an IOU of one hundred thousand taels of gold, but I only pay him back ten thousand taels of silver. If I really dare to do this, who knows, this matter will be spread all over the streets the next day. .

Shangguan Yi asked with concern: "What, Your Majesty, are the losses heavy?"

Facing Shangguan, Li Zongdao didn't have to hide anything. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, sighing: "It's true...it was looted!"

Su Jing raised his eyebrows and said: "So... we have no money? How can a majestic palace that has been robbed be patronized by thieves? My lord, if you don't want to pay back the money, I just don't want it. It's only ten thousand taels. I can still afford the loss, so why bother looking for this ridiculous excuse? It’s really not like I’m going to go out and say that Prince Anping won’t pay back the money he owes, no way…”

Shangguan Yi suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, thinking to himself, I have told you clearly outside, but you are still here pretending to be ignorant. It is simply... It seems that he is really quite hostile to him.

Then he gently tugged on Su Jing's sleeve and said, "Okay, Brother Cheng, give me some face. Your Majesty is the pillar of the country. Now that your family is in trouble, your Majesty will help you repay this money to your Majesty."

"Thank you for your majesty's grace! It's just that... Xiao Wang still has something to ask for!"

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Li Zongdao smiled bitterly and said: "This money is still a small thing, but that...that rebellious woman not only did these things, she also gave Xiao Wang's two useless sons a poison called corpse worm. According to Zhuo Jing described that the naughty girl once said that the corpse worm came from a cultivator named Yin Wu and was extracted from the corpse. She also got it by chance. To take the worm, she must Take the antidote once a month, otherwise the corpse insects will riot and eat your heart and die. This... Although Xiao Wang's two traitors are ineffective, but... But now their lives are in the hands of others, please ask Shangguan to send the palace chief Imperial physician, give him some diagnosis and treatment!”

"Corpse worm? Hidden witch?"

Shangguan Yi frowned and said, "I have only heard of Yin Xiu, but I have never heard of Hidden Witch. Where did this Hidden Witch come from?"

"According to Xiao Wang's rebellious girl, it comes from a place called Baiyue!"

Shangguan Yi frowned and said, "I have never heard of this place. Could it be... that it's a monk from a different cultivator?"

But Su Jing couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help laughing. Li Qingchuan... was so good at moving.
