How I Became the Emperor - Chapter 54
[54.Chapter 54 Shengtian Banzi]
Do you want to die or live, that is a question.
The answer is simple.
But Zhou Hongyuan gritted his teeth and remained silent for a long time.
He wanted to live, but he knew that the price he had to pay for living was so heavy that he couldn’t answer it for a long time.
Seeing his silence, Lu Qian chuckled and threw the pamphlet An Geli got to the ground.
Suddenly, Zhou Hongyuan suddenly raised his head and said in shock: “How did you get this thing? Did you find my treasure room?!”
The first sentence was a question, and the second sentence was already an affirmation.
In an instant, the expression on his face was extremely complicated, including resentment, despair, hopelessness, and a strong murderous intention.
It’s like a hamster who sees the fruits he has hidden for a whole year being taken away in one pot.
“Don’t worry, I only took a few of the treasures in your treasure room, not all of them.” Lu Qian said with a calm smile.
“Is this true?” Upon hearing this, Zhou Hongyuan’s lifeless eyes regained their luster.
That was the treasure he had collected with so much effort!
But then, a strong look of suspicion appeared on his face: “Lu Qian, you are so greedy, you would be so kind as to leave me those treasures worth thousands of gold?”
Lu Qian smiled meaningfully: “Of course there is a reason for this. “But you haven’t answered me yet, do you want to die or live?”
This time, Zhou Hongyuan was silent for three breaths, then slowly nodded and said three hoarse words: “I want to live!
” Okay! Then I’ll show you a way to survive!” After receiving the satisfactory answer, Lu Gan stood up with a smile and helped Zhou Hongyuan untie the chains.
“What exactly do you want me to do? To be your lackey?”
Zhou Hongyuan relaxed his muscles and sat down, with a look of fear and defensiveness between his brows.
“No!” Lu Gan sat back opposite Zhou Hongyuan and shook his head lightly: “I want you to work hard for me!”
After hearing this, Zhou Hongyuan’s pupils shrank and his whole body immediately became tense.
He might not be afraid of the word ‘working one’s life’ when it comes from other people’s mouths, but when it comes from the mouth of Lu Gan, a ruthless dog official, it’s probably true selling one’s life!
“Who do you want me to help you deal with?” Zhou Hongyuan pursed his chapped lips and asked in a deep voice.
“Xie Anping.”
Lu Qian said a surprising name.
“What? Xie Anping?” Zhou Hongyuan was stunned for a moment and suddenly doubted his life: “Didn’t you take Xie Anping’s money and come here specifically to target me and Baili Kuang?”
In the past few days, first he and Baili Kuang’s men were killed. They were arrested, the business was sealed, and their business partners were arrested everywhere.
Just now, Lu Gan was so crazy that he bombarded his mansion with divine fire!
Now Lu Gan actually said that the person he wanted to deal with was Xie Anping?
Zhou Hongyuan couldn’t help but tilted his head, his face full of questions.
“You underestimate me, Lu Gan, too. Xie Anping is a little local snake, and he wants me, Lu Gan, to do things for him? Does he have such a big face?”
Lu Gan sneered, showing disdain.
“Then why did you mess with me and Baili Kuang?” Zhou Hongyuan frowned, still puzzled.
He still didn’t understand what Lu Gan was doing.
If you want to mess with Xie Anping, just mess with Xie Anping. What’s going on with me and Baili Kuang?
“Didn’t I say that? I want you to work hard for me to deal with Xie Anping. The deal here is not a deal in business, but a fight in the martial arts! I want you to help me eliminate Xie Anping from the physical level! Got it? “Yes?”
Lu Qian explained with a cold expression.
Zhou Hongyuan completely understood.
Lu Gan wanted to use their hands to kill Xie Anping without spending a single soldier.
Zhou Hongyuan frowned and thought for a long time, then shook his head and said: “Xie Anping has many men, all of them are desperadoes who travel around the world, and they are extremely vicious. Besides, the two guards around him have mysterious origins. Although they rarely take action, they are absolutely They are masters of the Gangqi Realm who have penetrated forty or fifty apertures. None of my men can beat them.”
“Then call them! I know that you know a lot of gangsters in Gaotang County, and they are all murderers. You’re such a ruthless person. Why don’t you just pay for them to come over? That’s why I didn’t touch your treasure room.”
Lu Gan had already settled everything.
This sentence shocked Zhou Hongyuan. He finally knew that he had not lost unjustly.
Such a confidential matter was actually known to Lu Qian clearly. I am afraid that someone around him has sold out all his old information.
At this time, Lu Gan raised three fingers and said calmly: “Three days! I’ll give you three days to prepare! Three days later, I will hold a Hongmen Banquet at Tianxian Tower! The banquet will be hosted by Xie Anping, you, and Baili Kuang. By then “If Xie Anping doesn’t die, you will die. Do you understand?”
“Will you really let me go?”
Zhou Hongyuan seemed to have thought of something, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
As soon as he left the town of Fusi, he immediately sent Luzhu to the county town to ask for help, and asked the third lady of the county guard to come and take charge! See if Lu Qian still dares to be presumptuous and arrogant!
“Don’t even think about asking the Sheriff. I tell you, it’s useless.” Lu Qian seemed to have read through his mind and smiled sarcastically.
When Zhou Hongyuan heard this, he quickly denied it: “Master Lu, you are wrong. I never thought that way.”
Lu Gan chuckled and glanced at him disdainfully: “To tell you the truth, I really caught the remnant of Dayou this time, and it was a big fish! Even if you go to the governor for help, it will be of no avail. I will Everyone in your Zhou family, including men, women, old and young, and relatives from the nine clans, are all stigmatized as ‘suspected to be a remnant of the Great Netherworld’!”
These words, like thunder from the nine heavens, struck Zhou Hongyuan, making him tremble and freeze. Stand on the spot.
Lu Gan sneered again: “Do you know the consequences of this? From now on, your nine generations of relatives are not allowed to leave Shashui County, are not allowed to study, are not allowed to wear silk and satin, are not allowed to practice martial arts, and are not allowed to own half an acre. Fertile land! You are not allowed to participate in martial arts or become an official!”
Zhou Hongyuan’s eyes suddenly turned red and he said angrily: “You are framed for personal gain!” This is
absolutely unacceptable!
The future of his descendants!
From then on, his descendants could only be trapped in this small place in Shashui County, becoming more and more humble as they lived, and finally became beggars, prostitutes and thieves.
This was worse than killing him.
Unexpectedly, when Lu Gan heard his accusations and scoldings, he was not ashamed at all. Instead, he laughed loudly: “I am just using power for personal gain! I am just abusing lynching! So what? Now, I am the king’s law, and one word will determine the life and death of your whole family for generations to come. Woe! “
How arrogant! How arrogant!
At this moment, Zhou Hongyuan’s eyes widened and he looked at Lu Qian in disbelief. A chill shot up from the soles of his feet and went straight up to the Tianling Cap.
He has been counted dead!
The only way to survive at present is to follow what Lu Gan said, find someone to kill Xie Anping, and he can live safely.
Otherwise, he must die!
His descendants will also bear the stigma of being accomplices of the remnants of the Great Netherworld, and will continue to fall from generation to generation, eventually disappearing from the human world.
“Lu Qian, you are so ruthless! So calculating!”
Zhou Hongyuan gritted his back molars, breathed heavily, and spat out every word.
“Mr. Zhou, you are too polite. In terms of ruthlessness, I still can’t compare to you. Many gravel workers died in your quarry, dozens of sand miners sank in your battlefield, and your treasure room, where There are many kinds of treasures, and many of them should have been obtained by you through plunder, and some of them should have been taken advantage of by your black ship when it was transporting people. Otherwise, Jin Cuju and other rare things in the Dayou Palace would have been lost. How can you possess such a treasure?”
Lu Gan sneered coldly and kicked the golden Cuju beside him.
The golden Cuju immediately ejected, hit the stone wall of the prison, bounced back, and was caught by him with one hand. The golden bell inside the Cuju kept rolling, making a crisp sound.
This is a bloody golden Cuju.
Someone definitely died from it!
Zhou Hongyuan was silent, having nothing to say.
Finally, he spat out a sentence: “Master Lu, my eight sons and a dozen grandchildren are all innocent. Can you let them live?”
“No! You are wrong! Since their birth With your blood flowing on their bodies, bearing your surname, and enjoying the rich food and clothing you got from doing evil, and living a superior life, they are no longer innocent!”
Lu Qian corrected them mercilessly.
This sentence once again made Zhou Hongyuan silent and murmuring, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn’t find any reason to refute.
“Don’t worry! After killing Xie Anping, whether you continue to be your Mr. Zhou, or you want to be the only rich man in Shashui County, it’s up to you. After all, you are also the cousin of the county governor. What do you think, I want to show off to the Sheriff?”
Suddenly, Lu Qian’s expression softened.
That smiling expression was just like that of a thousand-year-old fox in the mountains.
