I'm Actually The Big Villain In The Book

Chapter 151 Confrontation with Second Rank Experts

"Kach~"

The sound of the slight mechanism rattling echoed in the sunny bedroom.

The entrance to the secret passage leading to the dark room is slowly closed, and there is no difference from the surrounding floor tiles.

Wei Changtian put the chair back in its place, sat down on it and poured himself a cup of tea.

That's right, Ning Yuke is hiding in the secret room she just built at home.

Originally, the three secret rooms were intended to be used as warehouses, meeting halls and prison cells respectively.

However, in order to accommodate Ning Yuke, the cell had to be changed first, and it was used to make do with it.

After taking a sip of tea, Wei Changtian remembered Ning Yuke's last kneeling.

Nujia

This claim is actually very common.

Yang Liushi has always called herself a slave in front of her, and so is Li Suyue.

But women from rich families like Lu Jingyao and Liang Qin rarely say that, at least Wei Changtian has never heard of it.

After all, with the word "slave", it still somewhat implies that he considers himself inferior.

And Ning Yuke, a princess, calls herself a "slave". This feels like Ning Yongnian calling herself a "slave" when facing herself.

It seems that he has made up his mind.

Wei Changtian sighed, drank the tea, got up and walked outside.

It was almost time for dinner, and there were bursts of smoke from the chimney of the side room. Although it was winter, there was still some warmth at noon.

Zhang San went out to do some errands, Li Suyue was washing his clothes in the yard, from time to time he would hold up the wet clothes to the sun for a look, probably to check if the stains had been cleaned.

Yuan'er is teaching Ah Chun to fight the devil, but the little girl doesn't seem to be very interested, and she doesn't seem to be as playful as Wei Qiaoling.

As for Liang Qin and Yang Liushi, who had already returned from Shiwan Dashan, the two of them are really like good sisters now, sitting and talking under the old locust tree in the courtyard.

One is full of smiles, the other has a serious face, it is estimated that Yang Liushi is teaching some "art of imperial husband" again.

I have to say that the current scene is indeed harmonious enough.

No matter how stormy the waves are outside the courtyard wall, the small courtyard has always been so peaceful and peaceful.

But just when Wei Changtian shifted his gaze to the gate, the good mood that finally appeared was gone in an instant.

I saw a wrinkled old man standing outside the door, dressed in brocade silk and satin, with a slightly bent waist, and the fingers folded in front of him were slightly raised orchid fingers, with a false smile on his face.

With this demeanor, Wei Changtian knew at a glance that he was from the palace——

old eunuch.

"Eunuch Li, please drink tea, please don't blame Eunuch if the tea is not good."

In the main hall, Wei Changtian looked at the old eunuch sitting next to him, and already knew the identity of the latter.

The chief executive, Ning Yongnian's most trusted eunuch, Li Huaizhong.

"Oh, Mr. Wei is too polite."

Li Huaizhong picked up the teacup with his orchid fingers, took a sip, and then smiled even more: "It is said that the young master is violent, and our family has never believed it. Only after seeing him today did we know that those rumors in the market are really unbelievable."

"Haha, thank you for your father-in-law's praise."

Wei Changtian laughed, and asked casually, "Eunuch Li, why are you in Shuzhou?"

"Hey, it's not about Prince Shun."

Li Huaizhong sighed: "Before the prince was assassinated, the emperor was worried that the people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple would not investigate the case carefully, so he sent our family to follow quietly."

"I see."

Wei Changtian nodded, and asked again, "I don't know if Eunuch is here today."

"Of course it is for Princess Rouan."

Li Huaizhong's words came a little suddenly, but Wei Changtian had already been mentally prepared, so he didn't show any unusual reaction.

"Princess Rou'an, isn't she missing?"

"It's missing, but the emperor has always been concerned about the safety of the princess, so he sent our family to ask the young master where the princess is now?"

"ask me?"

Wei Changtian looked "surprised": "Elder-in-law, how do I know the whereabouts of the princess?"

"Young master, don't worry, our family is just asking."

Li Huaizhong narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared straight at Wei Changtian: "After all, the young master has saved the lives of the prince and the princess, and also removed the scars on the princess's face."

"Father-in-law, it's okay if you don't mention this matter, I will get angry if you mention it!"

Wei Changtian suddenly slapped the table, and interrupted dissatisfiedly: "To tell you the truth, my father-in-law, I have already agreed with the princess, as long as I remove her scar, she will agree to marry me."

"In the end, I managed to get an elixir to heal her scar, but who would have thought that something like this would happen within a few days. Damn it, bad luck!"

"."

After speaking, Wei Changtian seemed to be angry and took a sip of tea, but in fact, he didn't know whether Own's performance could fool Li Huaizhong.

After all, I'm not an acting professional, so I'm still not good at acting.

What's more, this old eunuch is particularly difficult to deal with.

The "difficult to deal with" here does not only refer to the scheming aspect, but also the more superficial aspect of force.

According to the original book, although Li Huaizhong has never been on the various lists in Rivers and Lakes, he is actually a second rank master with a deep concealment, only a little weaker than Qin Zhengqiu, who has occupied the top of the black list for a long time.

Ning Yongnian is really determined to eradicate the grass, he even sent the second rank here.

Cursing secretly in his heart, he put the teacup on the table with a "clang clang", and Wei Changtian cupped his cupped hands at Li Huaizhong in a somewhat perfunctory manner.

"The boy lost his composure for a while, which made the father-in-law laugh at him."

"Hehe, it's okay."

Li Huaizhong chuckled lightly, his expression still the same as before.

"Unexpectedly, there is such an entanglement in it, but you don't have to be too depressed, the princess is just missing. If you can find her in the future, you may be able to reconnect with the young master."

"Is the father-in-law joking?"

Wei Changtian was stunned for a moment, and smiled wryly: "Now everyone in the world is saying that the princess instructed Xuantian to commit the crime of treason."

"If this matter is false, then the princess will probably die long ago."

"If this is true, then she deserves death."

"Even if the emperor can bypass her. Does the father-in-law think that I can still marry such a sinful person?"

"Young Master is right."

Li Huaizhong nodded, but then smiled and said something that Wei Changtian never expected.

"However, what if our family tells the young master that the princess is neither dead nor committed a crime of treason?"

"Ok?"

His eyes widened slightly, and his body paused for a moment.

At this moment, Wei Changtian's acting skills soared to the extreme.

It wasn't overly exaggerated, but it showed the surprise it deserved.

"The princess is not dead? She is not the mastermind behind the scenes? Then why didn't she show up? Could it be that she was kidnapped by bandits? But haven't all the villains from Xuantianhui been brought to justice?"

"."

Faced with a series of questions, Li Huaizhong didn't answer in a hurry, but looked at Wei Changtian with interest for a while, and suddenly smiled and said:

"Young Master Wei, our family has felt that you are not simple since you killed Xiang Liu."

"But I didn't expect that I still underestimated you."

"If our family hadn't inquired about some news a long time ago, I might have been fooled by the young master today."

"."

Click!

In an instant, Wei Changtian's mood fell to the bottom like a roller coaster.

The situation has changed drastically, and the current situation is undoubtedly extremely unfavorable for him.

Got some news?

what news?

This is the meaning of the sentence asked by the former interrogation prisoner - "We have already obtained your criminal evidence, and now you are recruited, you can deal with it lightly".

Wei Changtian didn't know if Li Huaizhong had really found something, if he was deceiving himself.

If I continue to pretend to be stupid, the final result will be nothing more than two kinds.

If Li Huaizhong is deceiving himself, he will get away with it.

If Li Huaizhong didn't lie to him, then he would be registered with Ning Yongnian.

Is it true or false?

The time left for Wei Changtian is very short, no matter how he chooses, he must respond immediately, otherwise he will not call himself.

Wait a minute!

Suddenly, Wei Changtian seemed to see something out of the corner of his eye.

Immediately after The next moment, he made a decision in an instant.
