Chapter 330 The Origin of the Master
Inside the carriage, Ping Yu stared at Chu Liuzheng, his dark eyes filled with anxiety: "Ask whatever you want, I'll tell you everything I know, as long as you tell me my brother's whereabouts."
Chu Liuzheng said, "As long as you don't lie to me, I will tell you Pingxuan's whereabouts after I ask you."
"Okay." Ping Yu leaned back, "Ask."
Chu Liuzheng asked, "It's the same question as before. Who wrote the script that Dr. Cha spoke about?"
"Don't you know how to tell fortunes?" Ping Yu looked at her. "You can't figure it out?"
[You think I want to ask? ]
Chu Liuzheng curled his lips secretly.
"If I rely on the system, I'll be in trouble. I need to get some information out of you guys so I can do my best."
She knocked on the table with a stern face: "Are you asking me or am I asking you?"
"She's so fierce, but she's so pretty." Ping Yu grumbled, pouting. "That message was originally written by the abbot. He sent it over early this morning and asked Tongniang to ask the tea doctor at Donghe Restaurant to read it."
Chu Liuzheng was puzzled: "Why is it Donghe Restaurant?"
"Donghe Restaurant is the largest restaurant in Longkou Town, and it has the most people dining there," Ping Yu said. "The abbot wants more people to hear this."
Chu Liuzheng: "Why does she want more people to hear it?"
"I heard the abbot say that he had hated a woman named Yin Lanci since he was a child. He was determined to make her be cursed by everyone in order to relieve his hatred. That's why he wrote her into the storybook." Ping Yu seemed to know what Chu Liuzheng was going to ask and said, "I don't know why the abbot hated Yin Lanci."
"Oh." Chu Liuzheng swallowed the question on his lips and changed it to another question, "What is the weakness of the master?"
Ping Yu frowned warily: "What do you want to do?"
"Answer me." Chu Liuzheng knocked on the table. "If you do that again, our deal will be void."
"You——" Ping Yu glared, but before he could say a word, Chu Liuzheng shouted without even turning his head, "Chen——"
"Wait, I won't ask anymore!" Ping Yu leaned back angrily and replied, "I don't know what the master's weakness is, and there are no people or things he cares about."
"So what does she usually do?"
"I raise insects and write storybooks. If anyone in the city invites me, I'll perform a ritual."
This life is pretty simple.
Chu Liuzheng asked, "What kind of insects does she raise?"
"Poisonous insects." Ping Yu shuddered, as if remembering something unpleasant. "Those poisonous insects eat people. In the blink of an eye, they can eat people to the bone."
Chu Liuzheng frowned: "You kill people to feed the insects?"
"No." Ping Yu shook his head. "It's a corpse, just buried. Tong Niang is responsible for digging it up, and I'm responsible for burying the bones."
Chu Liuzheng: "...Your division of labor is quite clear."
Ping Yu said seriously, "Digging graves is bad for one's virtue, I won't do it."
Chu Liuzheng: "Then if I bury it, it won't hurt my virtue?"
"No," Ping Yu answered firmly. "After burying them, I burned a lot of paper money for them. It's understandable. They shouldn't blame me."
Chu Liuzheng suddenly didn't know what to say. This young man's train of thought was quite strange.
Ping Yu looked at her: "Do you have anything else to ask?"
"Yes." Chu Liuzheng nodded, staring at him, "Did you know that the temple master is a woman?"
Ping Yu was shocked: "Woman?!"
"It seems you don't know." Chu Liuzheng looked away and let Chen Xing come in and take him away.
"Where is my brother?" Ping Yu struggled hard and turned his head to shout at Chu Liuzheng.
Chu Liuzheng smiled slightly: "I'll tell you when I have time."
Ping Yu's pupils shrank, and he roared angrily: "You liar! You actually lied to me! I won't forgive you!!"
"It's the same for you." Chu Liuzheng raised his hand to scratch his ears.
This guy's words were half true and half false. He treated her like a fool and even wanted to trick information out of her. He was dreaming of something better.
She said, "I forgot to tell you that the abbot doesn't know Ping Xuan's whereabouts. You were deceived by her."
Pingyu:! ! !
His shouting paused for a moment, then suddenly broke out again, like a lion's roar.
Chen Xing immediately swung his knife, and the whole world became quiet.
"Well done." Chu Liuzheng stretched and said as he flipped through the system, "Bring Tongniang in."
"Okay." Chen Xing agreed.
"I heard from Xiaoyu that your name is Tongniang." In the shaking carriage, Chu Liuzheng looked at the woman opposite him. "I like to be straightforward and don't like to use violence. If you tell me some of the temple master's secrets, I will let you suffer less, and we will all be happy, okay?"
Tongniang closed her eyes and said nothing.
"You won't cooperate?" Chu Liuzheng raised an eyebrow and poured himself a cup of tea. "Xiaoyu is really adorable. She's said everything she needed to say. She even told me where your remaining son lives. Do you think I should reunite you and your son?"
Tong Niang suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes flashing with fierce light: "You dare!"
Chu Liuzheng held the teacup in his hand and ordered loudly: "Chenxing, send someone to Santang Lane in Caiye Town, the third lane from the entrance—"
"I say!" Tong Niang interrupted quickly, "What do you want to know?"
"But I don't want to listen anymore." Chu Liuzheng smiled sweetly, "I just want to do a good deed now and reunite you and your son."
She shouted again: "Chenxing, go——"
"I know the origin of the temple master!" Tong Niang said quickly, staring at Chu Liuzheng closely.
She knew that the hateful woman opposite was threatening her, but she couldn't afford to take the risk!
Ping Yu, that little bastard, she treated him like her own son, but he actually betrayed her!
She really made a mistake!!
Chu Liuzheng held the cup and drank tea, signaling her with his eyes to continue.
Tong Niang said, "You must promise not to touch my son if I say so."
"You have no right to bargain with me." Chu Liuzheng put down his teacup and, noticing the resentment on Tongniang's face, he said slowly, "But I'm not unreasonable. The more you know, the more useful it will be to me, and the safer your son will be."
Tongniang pursed her lips, her expression a little shaken.
"No need to touch it. The blade on your sleeve is here with me." Chu Liuzheng glanced at her hands tied behind her back, took out a wooden box from under the table, and opened it. "Take a look, is it yours?"
Tongniang lowered her eyes and a look of horror flashed across her eyes.
They actually found out everything. Who are these people?
"I forgot to tell you that the abbot is also in our hands now." Chu Liuzheng closed the box and smiled at Tong Niang. "Xiao Yu said your son's nickname is Bao'er. He is six years old this year and very smart. The teacher praised his ability to study and said he will become a great talent in the future. He is really a little treasure."
"Don't touch my son!" Tong Niang cursed Ping Yu's ancestors in her heart and said anxiously, "I will tell you everything you want to know, please don't touch my son."
[Wow, this is what it feels like to be a villain! ]
Chu Liuzheng stared at the system distractedly: "Let me first talk about the origin of the master."
