I'm Actually The Big Villain In The Book

Chapter 30 He's Too Steady!

Inner City, Daning Palace.

Wei Xianzhi walked quickly on the spotless blue brick road, not only did the patrolling guards not stop him, but even bowed down and called "Master Wei" when they saw him.

There are only a few important ministers who can freely enter and leave the palace, and they all recognize them.

It's just that Wei Xianzhi is usually the only one who will enter the palace in the middle of the night.

Most of the time it is the emperor summoning, if not... then something big is going to happen.

The moonlight is cold, and the night wind is like a knife.

"Another big shot is about to lose his head!"

An elderly guard muttered softly.

the other side.

Wei Xianzhi hurried all the way to the imperial study room.

The gold-edged plaque with the three words "Shiqu Pavilion" was in front of him, but he slowed down instead, and finally stopped at all.

Hiding in the dark, he blotted for a while and then suddenly turned to look at the night sky behind him.

In the boundless night, there seems to be a little fire that is fleeting.

Ordinary people would definitely not notice this abnormality, but Wei Xianzhi, as a third rank master, could clearly see the shape of the flame.

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

"Master Wei?"

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

"Yes, I have something important to report!"

Wei Xianzhi said "urgently": "It's a very important matter, please let Eunuch Li go in and report!"

"Master Wei, don't worry, the Sajia will go right away."

The old eunuch didn't write any ink, left a word and went into the imperial study, and soon went back again.

"Master Wei, the emperor let you in."

"it is good!"

With cupped hands, Wei Xianzhi stepped across the threshold.

The screen bookshelves and other things are exquisite and luxurious, and behind the huge fan-shaped table sits a man in a loose white robe, who 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 looked over with a smile, and said in a relaxed tone, "Say it, I just happen to be happy today."

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

Wei Xianzhi didn't even utter a word of nonsense, straight to the point and said: The spies said that the monster is extremely vicious, once it escapes, the consequences will be disastrous. "

"However, please rest assured, the emperor, after learning about this matter, I have sent people to Zhangfu immediately, and I will definitely not let this monster mess up the capital!"

"Zhang Hongwen? Feed a demon?"

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

"I don't know this yet, and I have to go to Mr. Zhang to know."

"I'm asking when you knew about it."

"Oh, I only found out about it an hour ago."

Wei Xianzhi didn't change his face: "After the minister arranged the matter of catching the monster, he immediately set off to report to His Majesty, and he never lost a moment."

"You... can such a thing be done like this?"

Ning Yongnian asked with a smile: "Are you afraid that I won't allow you to touch 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 would kill first and then play, and he also knew that Ning Yongnian already knew that he knew that he knew that he would kill first and then play.

But the words still cannot be broken.

Hanging around the emperor, no matter how much you do, as long as you understand it in your heart.

"Forget it, you'd better tell me about his feeding of demons in detail..."

Sure enough, Ning Yongnian didn't mean to make Wei Xianzhi admit it, so he changed the topic back to Zhang Hongwen.

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

...

When Wei Xianzhi was explaining to Ning Yongnian how terrifying the monster was as if he had seen it with his own eyes, the people in Xuanjing Division who were far away in Zhangfu didn't even know what they were going to do this trip.

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

But now it's a good thing, nearly a hundred members of Zhang's family have been controlled in the yard, but the "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 crowds of men, women and children kneeling in the courtyard, and asked Wei Changtian again in a low voice: "This Zhang family..."

Wei Changtian directly interrupted: "Have you searched Zhang's mansion carefully?"

"Uh... there are still 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 late.

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

"Is this how Xuan Jing acts?!"

With a livid face and eyes full of anger, he questioned: "Break into my mansion for no reason, and force my people to kneel here without even a reason. What is the difference between such an act and bandits?!"

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

"I don't believe that Xuan Jingsi can really cover the sky of Daning..."

To be honest, although the old man Zhang Hongwen is not in good health, he has a sharp tongue, and he gave Xuan Jingsi a big hat with just a few words.

"Noisy."

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

"this……"

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

"What bullshit rules."

Wei Changtian muttered in a low voice, then turned his head to the other person beside him.

It was Xu Qingwan who he named as his "personal bodyguard".

Pointing to Zhang Hongwen, Wei Chang ordered: "Miss Xu, you go and tell him to shut up and kneel down. I will be responsible for what happened..."

"Shua!"

Before Wei Changtian finished 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's sense of obedience is indeed very strong.

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

"Plop!"

Zhang Hongwen immediately fell to his knees, and before he had time to shout, a part of his sleeve was missing, and the missing part 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 gave her a compliment.

But Huang Qianhu next to him was quite frightened.

f*ck!

It would be fine if something wrong with Zhang Hongwen was found out later, but if nothing was found out...Let alone Wei Changtian, everyone present today would probably be unlucky.

I regretted so much why I got involved in this case, and the last few guards who searched the Zhangfu not far away also came back empty-handed at this time.

He hastened to report immediately: "My lord, Zhang's mansion has been thoroughly searched, and everyone including the maids and servants are 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.

Monsters are not gold, silver or jewelry. Although they are locked up now, they have grown legs after all.

If someone from Zhangfu hides in the dark and secretly goes to release the monster when they hear that something is wrong, it will undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble at that time.

What's more, Wei Xianzhi and Qin Caizhen's teaching of "cutting the weeds must be eradicated" is still vivid in my memory.

If I ran after the monster as soon as I came up, how could these Zhangfu people be so lucky as they are now to catch them without a fight?

Since it is a villain and there is no luck bonus, it is better to be careful in everything.

Tsk tsk tsk, I'm so steady!

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

"Master Zhang!"

"Are you guilty?!"
