I'm the villain in the book

Ordinary people will not notice this abnormality, but Wei Xianzhi, as a third-rank master, can clearly see the shape of the fire.

There was an imperceptible smile on his face, and he took two quick steps again, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the door of the imperial study.

"Master Wei?"

The old eunuch guarding the door was a little surprised, and asked in a shrill voice, "You came to the emperor in the middle of the night?"

"Yes, I have something to report!"

Wei Xianzhi said "urgently": "It's a big deal, please go in and let Eunuch Li quickly!"

"Don't be in a hurry, Mr. Wei, let's go to the family."

The old eunuch didn't even write any ink, left a sentence and entered the imperial study, and soon went back and forth.

"Master Wei, the emperor has let you in."

"it is good!"

Wei Xianzhi cupped his hands and stepped over the threshold.

The screens and bookshelves are exquisite and luxurious. Behind the huge fan-shaped table sits a man in a loose white robe. It is the current emperor of Daning, Ning Yongnian.

"Wei Aiqing, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing for you to come to me so late."

Ning Yongnian smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "Tell me, it happens that I am happy today."

"Your Majesty, Zhang Hongwen is feeding demons in the mansion!"

Wei Xianzhi didn't say a word of nonsense, and went straight to the point: The spy said that the monster was extremely vicious, and the consequences would be unimaginable if it escaped. "

"But please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister has immediately sent someone to the Zhang Mansion after learning about this, and will not let this monster disrupt the capital!"

"Zhang Hongwen? Feeding demons?"

Ning Yongnian was taken aback and asked, "When did it happen?"

"I don't know this yet, and it needs to be reviewed by Mr. Zhang to know."

"I'm asking when you found out about it."

"Oh, I only learned about it an hour ago."

Wei Xianzhi didn't change his face: "I immediately set off to report to Your Majesty after I arranged for the catching of the demon, without a moment's delay."

"You...is it possible to do such a thing?"

Ning Yongnian smiled and asked, "Are you afraid that I won't allow you to move Zhang Hongwen?"

"Your Majesty, I don't mean that."

Wei Xianzhi still had a righteous expression on his face.

Of course he knew that Ning Yongnian already knew that he had cut first and then played, and he also knew that Ning Yongnian already knew that he knew that he knew that he had cut first and then played.

But the words still can't be broken.

Mixing with the emperor, no matter how dolls do it, as long as you understand it in your heart.

"Forget it, you'd better talk about him feeding the demon in detail..."

Sure enough, Ning Yongnian didn't want Wei Xianzhi to admit it, so he shifted the topic to Zhang Hongwen again.

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

……

Just when Wei Xianzhi was explaining to Ning Yongnian how terrifying the monster was, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, everyone in the Xuanjing Division far away in Zhang Mansion didn't even know what they were doing here.

Some of them have also performed tasks with a high degree of secrecy before, but at least they will be informed of the specific situation when they arrive at the place.

But now it's better, nearly a hundred members of Zhang's family have been controlled in the courtyard, but "Supreme Commander" Wei Changtian still doesn't say what crime the Zhang family has committed.

This made everyone a little confused.

"Young Master Wei..."

Huang Qianhu looked at the men, women and children in the courtyard, and whispered to Wei Changtian again: "This Zhang family..."

Wei Changtian interrupted directly: "Have you searched the Zhang residence carefully?"

"Uh... there are a few brothers who haven't come back."

"Then wait for them to come back."

"……Yes."

Huang Qianhu nodded helplessly.

Forget it, I've been waiting for a long time, and it's not too short of a while.

It's just that he can wait, but Zhang Hongwen can't.

"Is that what the Xuanjing Division does?!"

His face was blue and his eyes were full of anger and he asked: "Breaking into my mansion for no reason, and forcing my clan to kneel here without even a reason, what is the difference between such an act and a bandit?!"

"Let go of me! I'm going to see the emperor!"

"I don't believe that the Xuanjing Division can really cover the sky of Daning..."

To tell the truth, although the old man Zhang Hongwen was not in good health, he was very eloquent, and he gave Xuanjing Division a big hat after a few words.

"Noisy."

Wei Changtian glanced at him, turned his head and asked, "Master Huang, can you shut him up?"

"This one……"

Huang Qianhu explained in a low voice: "According to the law, officials above the fourth rank cannot keep their mouths shut, they cannot be forced to kneel, and they cannot be tortured to extract confessions before they are convicted."

"What bullshit rules."

Wei Changtian whispered something, and turned his head to another person beside him.

It was Xu Qingwan who was named by him as a "personal bodyguard".

Reaching out to Zhang Hongwen, Wei Changtian ordered: "Miss Xu, you go and tell him to shut up and kneel, I'll be responsible if something goes wrong..."

"Shh!"

Before Wei Changtian could finish speaking, a pretty figure flashed out instantly, and in the blink of an eye, he was behind Zhang Hongwen.

I have to say that Xu Qingwan has a very strong sense of obedience.

She didn't care about the identity of the person in front of her, Dali Siqing, and kicked Zhang Hongwen's knee.

"Pfft!"

Zhang Hongwen immediately knelt to the ground, and before he had time to shout, he lost a piece of sleeves, and then the missing piece appeared in his mouth in the next second.

Kicking people, cutting cloth, gagging... Xu Qingwan's actions were done in one go, and Wei Changtian almost applauded her.

However, Huang Qianhu next to him was quite frightened.

Nima!

If it is found out that there is something wrong with Zhang Hongwen later, it will be good to say, but if nothing is found out... let alone Wei Changtian, everyone present today is expected to follow the bad luck.

In my heart, I regretted why I wanted to get involved in this case, and not far away, the last few officers who searched Zhangfu also returned empty-handed at this time.

He hurriedly reported the report: "Master, the Zhang residence has been carefully searched. Everyone, including the servants and servants, is already here. There is indeed no one hiding!"

"it is good."

Wei Changtian breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was finally time to "reveal the secret".

The reason why he was so cautious was to not give Zhang Hongwen any chance to mess around.

This monster is not gold and silver jewelry, although it is locked now, but it has long legs.

In case someone from Zhang Mansion hides in the dark, and hears that the situation is not right, they secretly release the monster, then it will undoubtedly add a lot of trouble.

What's more, Wei Xianzhi and Qin Caizhen taught "cut weeds to eradicate the roots", which is still vivid in my mind.

If he ran to the monsters as soon as he came up, how could these Zhangfu people be so lucky to be captured like they are now?

Since he is a villain and has no luck bonus, it is better to be careful about everything.

Gee, I'm so steady!

With a little compliment in his heart, Wei Changtian finally looked at Zhang Hongwen and said in a deep voice:

"Master Zhang!"

"Are you guilty?!"

Chapter 31 The villain can't stand it anymore

From the moment Xuanjing Division rushed in, Zhang Hongwen began to guess what he was caught.

He is not a good official. If the crimes he has committed are counted one by one, it is enough to go to the guillotine a hundred times.

But the legal binding force of feudal society has always been inversely proportional to status.

As Li Kan said that day, there are not many crimes that can sentence a third-rank official to death in reality.

And Zhang Hongwen didn't think that the matter of feeding demons would be found out.

It has been nearly five years since this incident, and there has never been an accident. All those who know it are his confidants, and it is absolutely impossible to make betrayal.

As for other issues other than "feeding demons", Zhang Hongwen felt that he still had room to deal with it.

Of course, voluntary confession is certainly impossible.

As soon as the cloth strip was taken out of his mouth, he stared at Wei Changtian and shouted in a trembling voice as if he had been greatly humiliated:

"Despicable boy! You don't have to spit your blood!"

"I have been an official for decades, and my words and deeds are worthy of the emperor and the people!"

"More worthy of my conscience!"

"You ask if I am guilty?"

"I'm going to ask you!"

"What is the crime of your Xuanjing Division, ignoring the law of Daning, and forcing a third-rank court official to kneel?!"

"..."

Zhang Hongwen's voice was full of sadness and anger, but at the same time he had a clear conscience.

Even if you put this acting skill into a previous life, you have to get an actor, and if you change it to someone else, it is very likely that you will be confused on the spot.

It's a pity that Wei Changtian is a "spoiler", so after listening to it, he just sneered and said with a slow smile:

"Master Zhang said it well, it seems that being sick all the year round doesn't affect your speech."

"Just a little forgetful."

"Otherwise, how about I take it to a place to help you recall your memories?"

"Master Huang!"

Almost instantly, Wei Changtian's voice became extremely cold: "Take Master Zhang! Come with me!"

"Leave 50 people here to watch over Zhang's family!"

"From now on, anyone who gets up and speaks out will be killed!"

……

The contiguous torches illuminate the surroundings like a high-power light bulb.

Seventy black-clothed officers sandwiched Zhang Hongwen's third and third floors, and followed behind Wei Changtian with sharp knives.

Further ahead, there was a trembling servant who led the way.

"Sir, this house is the master's bedroom..."

The domestic servant trembled and pointed to the door of the house, and was dragged aside by the two officers immediately.

Under everyone's gaze, Wei Changtian stepped into the room while recalling the description in the book.

Xu Qingwan had a small face, and Huang Qianhu flanked him on both sides, while Zhang Hongwen's face became even paler.
