Tang Heng was in a daze along the way, and he didn't know how he got back to Tang Mansion.

Tang Heng staggered into his room, locked the door, and shrank from head to face into the quilt. Even so, his body was still shivering, obviously because he was extremely scared.

He recalled Xiao Jie's warning to him over and over again in his mind, as well as Li Mao's two murderous eyes before he left.

He knew that he was facing a catastrophe and he was completely dead. He had offended King Xiao Jie of Qi and the Li family of Longxi at the same time, and now both sides wanted to put him to death.

"Blah blah blah-"

Suddenly there were a few heavy knocks on the door, which also hit Tang Heng's heart heavily, he poked out a pale head from the bed, and asked in a trembling voice: "Who is it? "

"It's me! Hurry up and open the door, why do you lock yourself in your room in broad daylight?"

It was his wife Yang's voice that came from outside the door.

Tang Heng threw off the quilt, got out of bed, staggered forward and opened the door.

"Master, what's wrong with you, don't scare me."

Yang Shi was shocked when she saw Tang Heng's face. She also heard from the servants in the mansion that the master's expression was not quite right after he went to the county government office, so she came to have a look and asked him what happened. However, looking at his appearance now, Mrs. Yang also guessed that something great must have happened.

"Ma'am, I might really die this time."

After all, it was a husband and wife relationship, and Tang Heng no longer hid himself in front of his wife, clutching his head in pain with both hands.

"Master, you can't talk nonsense. What happened, you tell me quickly, and I will work with you to find a way... there must be a way."

Yang was also taken aback, quickly grabbed Tang Heng's hands, and asked anxiously.

Under the comfort of Yang's kind words, Tang Heng's mood finally calmed down slowly, and his whole body also calmed down a lot, and a strange light seemed to flash across his eyes inadvertently.

He held Yang's hands with his backhand, and his eyes were firmer than ever: "You take our son and leave Panyu immediately, the farther you go, the better..."

"No! Master, if we leave, what will you do alone?"

Mrs. Yang shook her head and refused without hesitation. After all, the husband and wife have been in love for many years. In times of crisis, she could not abandon Tang Heng and only take her son to escape.

Tang Heng's gaze became more resolute, and his tone was even more undeniable: "Listen to me, I have thought of a way now, this is my only chance to survive, if I can escape this calamity, I will definitely join you, Or bring you back to Panyu. If you and your son stay in Panyu, I am worried that they will threaten me with your lives."

Having said so far, Yang could only say goodbye to Tang Heng with a headache in their arms, packed up his clothes and took his son away with tears in his eyes.

After sending his wife and children away, Tang Heng plunged into the study without looking back, locked the door behind him, took out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to write letters to Xiao Jie.

He had already thought about it, and now he was useless to the Li family, and the Li family would never spare his life anyway.

But on the contrary, he found that he still had a glimmer of life on Xiao Jie's side. It was the Li family's intention to deal with Xiao Jie, but there was no deep hatred between them, and Xiao Jie had no reason to kill him.

It's just that Tang Heng also knew in his heart that if he not only wanted Xiao Jie to let him go but also save his life, he had to prove to Xiao Jie that he was still useful.

Tang Heng thought about it. Tang Ji followed the Li family's arrangement before, intending to hoard food and cause Jiaozhou turmoil. As the executor, he was undoubtedly a key witness for Xiao Jie to deal with and bring down the Li family. He believed that with this For one thing, Xiao Jie will try his best to save his life.

Under the lamp, Tang Heng wrote a book full of three pages. It described in detail how Li Mao, who came from the capital, wanted him to hoard and hide a large amount of grain in Jiaozhou, so that there was no grain to sell in Jiaozhou. In order to arouse the people's dissatisfaction with the government, and then cause riots, the purpose is to deal with Xiao Jie, who is the governor of Jiaozhou, and make him lose in the battle for the heir apparent.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the study. ,

Tang Heng had no choice but to stop writing, feeling a little dissatisfied in his heart, and said in a low voice, "Who is it!"

"Master, it's me, Zhang Erlang." It was indeed the voice of the boy Zhang Erlang who came from outside the door.

Zhang Erlang is Tang Heng's personal servant, he has been with him for many years, Tang Heng has a lot of trust in him.

"What's the matter?" Tang Heng didn't know why Zhang Erlang came to him at this time.

"I see that the master hasn't touched any water since he came home, so I came here to give the master a cup of ginseng tea." Zhang Erlang nodded and bowed through the door.

Hearing what Zhang Erlang said, Tang Heng really felt a little thirsty, so he got up and opened the study door.

Tang Heng didn't want Zhang Erlang to come into the study, so as not to see things on the desk that he shouldn't see, but just as he was about to take the ginseng tea in Zhang Erlang's hand, he saw Zhang Erlang look behind him with a terrified expression, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, look behind you."

Tang Heng had some doubts in his heart, he quickly turned his head to look behind him, but he didn't expect that the moment he turned his head, Zhang Erlang's face suddenly became extremely ferocious, and there was a flash of murderous intent in his eyes, he quickly pulled out a dagger, savagely Plunging into Tang Heng's heart...

Tang Heng clutched his chest in pain, looking at the servant who had been serving him for many years with a face of disbelief, he fell down slowly, unable to close his eyes until he died...

Zhang Erlang directly stepped over Tang Heng's body, walked to the desk, saw the three pages of paper on the desk, picked them up and took a look, a sneer could not help showing from the corner of his mouth, this Tang Heng actually wanted to betray the Li family when he was about to die .

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Erlang directly lit the three pages of paper with a candle and threw them into the brazier. He didn't start to rummage through the study room until he saw the three papers turned into ashes with his own eyes, taking away every valuable thing, and creating a Create a false appearance of murder and robbery.

After finishing all this, Zhang Erlang exited the study, locked the door again, and escaped from the Tang Mansion overnight...

At the same time, outside the city of Panyu, several men in black were brandishing shovels and trying to fill a pit. Lying in the pit were Tang Heng's wife and son, but there was a long wound on their necks. Obviously dead already...
