Chapter 242 Interrogation

After the middle-aged man was tied up, he still cursed uncontrollably: "You bastard, let me go. If you have the ability, fight with me alone. Don't bully the smaller ones with more people!"

Chu Yang was amused by his words and said jokingly: "You just bullied someone else's little Taoist priest. Why don't you think that there are more people bullying others than there are fewer people?"

The middle-aged man choked and his face turned red. He was too embarrassed to curse anymore. He looked Chu Yang up and down and said, "Who are you? I didn't know there was such a famous person as you in Jiangzhou!"

Chu Yang waved his hand and said: "You don't need to know my identity, you just need to know that your life and death are in my hands now. If you tell me what you know, I will spare your life today. If you refuse to speak, , I can’t believe that I will see blood today.”

The middle-aged man's expression changed. Seeing that his accomplices were all looking at him, he said bravely: "If you want to kill me or cut me into pieces, it's up to you. Anyway, I admit defeat today. At worst, I will be a good man again in eighteen years!"

"Well, since you won't tell, then I'll ask other people. If anyone is willing to tell, then let him spare his life."

Chu Yang glanced at him indifferently, then turned to ask the people who were pressed on the ground: "You all heard what I just said, right? If anyone is willing to say anything, I will let him go, or he will have to be buried with him!"

The other people looked hesitant, as if they were weighing the consequences of offending the Lu family. Suddenly, a young man shouted in a hissing voice: "I'm willing to tell you, as long as you let me go, I'll tell you everything!"

Hearing this, the few people who were still hesitating also shouted in unison: "I am willing too, I am willing too!"

When the middle-aged man saw this, he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. Seeing everyone's rebellion without integrity, he could only blush and shout: "Made, I know more than them!"

The Jiang family's reinforcements burst into laughter. This guy was so tough just now, but he gave in in a blink of an eye.

After interrogating these people separately, Chu Yang synthesized the information he heard and learned some important things.

According to the middle-aged man, they were unorganized people recruited by Lu Guangxiong with a lot of money. The purpose was to find out the layout of Fuyun Temple, especially the personnel deployment, and record them in detail so that they could take the initiative during the attack.

It's a pity that they don't know much about how Lu family personnel mobilize these things.

However, according to several people's guesses, there should be hundreds of people gathered in the Lu family at this time. There are also rumors that the Lu family will have help from hidden forces. I am afraid that the number of people attacking Fuyun Temple will be at least two hundred.

Chu Yang secretly thought that the Lu family did have a lot of manpower, and the number was consistent with what Jiang Weiguo had inquired about. As for the hidden forces coming to support, they should be other families that the Lu family thought they had controlled with Yu Furong.

"I've said everything I need to say, can you let me go now?"

Seeing that Chu Yang was deep in thought, the middle-aged man couldn't help but shout.

Chu Yang looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Let me ask you, when will the Lu family plan to take action? Don't say you don't know. You also know that I also have an insider. I just want to confirm whether the news I got is true."

The middle-aged man sighed softly: "Forget it, I have offended the Lu family so much anyway, the worst I can do is fly away. I can tell you, but you have to promise me that you will let us leave safely after I say it!"

Naturally, the Lu family would not tell everyone when to take action. The middle-aged man happened to be the leader of these people, so he naturally knew more.

Chu Yang did not refuse and nodded: "Yes, as long as you tell me, I will let you go."

The middle-aged man nodded and whispered to Chu Yang: "Eight o'clock in the evening!"

This time is about the same as Chu Yang expected. Although the officials are unwilling to pay attention to the disputes between the family and sects, it is inevitable that these things happening in the blue sky will be noticed by interested people. If word spreads, the impact will not be good, so conflicts between certain forces have always happened. Choose to do it at night.

Chu Yang confirmed his guess, waved to the people on both sides, and said: "Take them with you, let's go to Fuyun Temple!"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately yelled: "Asshole, you said you would let us go, but it's unbecoming of a man to go back on your word!"

Chu Yang stopped, turned around and smiled: "I said I would let you go, but I didn't promise when. If I let you go now, and if you go to help the Lu family again, wouldn't I be asking for trouble? Don't worry. Okay, when this is over, I will let you go."

When the middle-aged man and others heard this, their faces turned pale. There was going to be a big battle tonight. It would be fine if they won, but if they were defeated by the Lu family, they prisoners would definitely be regarded as traitors by the Lu family. I'm afraid there will be death but no life at that time.

Chu Yang waved his hand and walked along the road towards Fuyun Temple.

Fuyun Temple is halfway up the mountain. There is a cement road leading directly to the mountain gate. Chu Yang and others followed the road and soon reached the stone steps outside the mountain gate.

Outside the mountain gate, there are more than a dozen Taoist priests guarding the intersection.

Seeing the arrival of Chu Yang and others, these Taoist priests hurriedly clenched their weapons and made alert movements.

Chu Yang waved his hand to ask the people behind him to stop, and then he raised his hands and said: "We have been ordered to come to support Fuyun Temple, please inform Taoist Master Lingyun."

Hearing that they were friends rather than enemies, the faces of the Taoist priests looked much better, but their vigilance did not relax.

Seeing that they didn't look like they were about to take action, a middle-aged Taoist priest with a short beard stepped forward and bowed: "Please wait a moment, distinguished guest. I will ask the disciple to report to the master immediately."

After giving the explanation, a Taoist priest behind him put down his weapon and hurried towards the mountain gate.

At this time, the young Taoist priest at the foot of the mountain separated the crowd, limped up, and shouted: "Uncle Master, they really helped us, and they also caught a few spies at the foot of the mountain!"

The Taoist priest with short beard looked him up and down, and asked in surprise: "What are you doing? Didn't you say that you should immediately set off fireworks when there is an enemy?"

The young Taoist priest said embarrassedly: "Reporting to Uncle Master, there were a few people pretending to be pilgrims before, and I believed them, so I went forward to persuade them to return, but I was entangled by a woman and couldn't get away at all. Fortunately, this distinguished guest brought people to solve the disciple's dilemma."

The Taoist priest with short beard was speechless. Fortunately, he still believed the origins of Chu Yang and others. He put away the long sword in his hand, stepped forward and looked around and asked: "Which one is Chu Yang Chu Jushi?"

Chu Yang thought, I'm standing in front of you, what do you mean by staring at the person behind me?

However, since the other party asked him kindly, he couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb, so he had to bow and say: "I am Chu Yang, what do you want, Taoist?"

"Ah?"

The short-bearded Taoist retreated a few steps, looked at him in disbelief, and asked: "Master Chu is so young?"

Chu Yang asked puzzledly: "Why did the Taoist say that?"

The short-bearded Taoist suppressed his shock and explained with a wry smile: "I heard from my master that Master Chu would come to the Taoist temple to help today. I also have some understanding of Master Chu's cultivation, but I didn't expect him to be so young. It's really unbelievable!"
