Chapter 755 Part 4
Du Chang is dead? ? Who killed him? ?
After receiving this message, Wei Changtian widened his eyes again.
Du Chang is Kuilong's man, so it is not surprising that he was able to escape from Yang Liushi.
But how long had it been since the person died? There was no doubt that Yang Liushi had not done it.
Then who could find out Du Chang's location in such a short time and have the ability to kill a Kui Long? Frowning, Wei Changtian did not think for too long and soon came up with the only possibility -
Du Chang was killed by Lu Hongji.
But why did Lu Hongji want to kill Du Chang?
Just because his identity was exposed? It's useless?
But no matter what, Du Chang is also a "meritorious official", so is he being discarded now?
This doesn't make sense. Wei Changtian held his forehead with his hand and became more and more confused.
Du Chang’s death itself is nothing.
But at whose hands he died and why that person wanted to kill him is a key question.
At this moment, although Wei Changtian had no evidence, he always had a vague feeling that Du Chang was killed by Chu Xianping.
If this is true, then what exactly is Chu Xianping going to do? Isn't he involved with Lu Hongji? Why is he still helping me?
The morning sun rises, the morning mist slowly dissipates into the distance, and the dewdrops reflect a little light, sparkling on the tips of the leaves outside the window.
Wei Changtian thought for a long time, then finally stood up, grabbed the Star Scabbard and pushed the door open.
Xinfeng, Anding County.
As the closest county to Dahui in Xinfeng, Anding County has fallen into the hands of the latter for more than a month.
However, although the Da Hui occupied this place, they did not station too many garrisons, nor did they engage in any looting, smashing, or burning.
So for the people living in Anding, their lives are not much different from before.
"Would you like some tea, sir?"
"Our tea is only two cents per person, no matter how much you drink!"
“.”
There is a tea stall beside the official road outside Anding City. A man with a sweat towel on his shoulder is warmly greeting a few guests who have just got off a carriage.
These people were all dressed very well, and it was obvious that they were of unusual status.
But for the man who runs the tea stall, he doesn't care whether the visitor is noble or humble, he always greets them with a smile.
"Have you guys just traveled all night?"
"It's cold this morning, why don't you come in and sit down? There's charcoal burning inside!"
"Haha, no need, we just need to take a break."
Opposite, a middle-aged man with the most ordinary clothes but the most extraordinary temperament smiled and waved his hand, and someone behind him immediately took out a small piece of silver from his arms and handed it to the store owner.
"Boss, we'll take over your tea stall this morning."
"ah?"
Holding the silver in his hand and with his mouth slightly open, the man was obviously a little surprised.
However, this surprise soon turned into joy. He quickly put the silver coins into his arms and said with a smile on his face, "Yes, yes! Ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat. I will go and make some tea!"
"Um."
The middle-aged man nodded, then walked to a wooden table under a big tree and sat down.
A young man sat opposite him, while the others stood a little further away.
"Brother Xianping."
After taking a look at the tea stall owner who was busy not far away, the middle-aged man shifted his gaze to the young man opposite.
"The person who leaked the information died a quarter of an hour ago."
"Really?"
The young master's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded slightly, saying, "Then as I said before, the matter concerning Senior Bai Dian will be left at an end."
"That's great."
The middle-aged man smiled, his tone somewhat amusing: "But Brother Xianping, isn't it a coincidence that just two hours before that man died, his identity was exposed."
"You know, he had been hiding beside Wei Changtian for two years without any incident. Why was he discovered at this time?"
"Did someone tell on me?"
"Telling?"
The young man smiled slightly and said, "Captain Lu, since it is a whistleblower, the whistleblower must know the identity of that person."
"If you really have such doubts, then just check it yourself. Why are you asking me?"
"Haha, brother Xian Ping, now that we've come to this point, there's no point in hiding anything any further."
Squinting his eyes slightly, the middle-aged man's tone gradually became cold: "You have already guessed that Du Chang is mine."
“.”
Glittering dewdrops rolled on the tender green grass leaves, and the morning breeze brought the faint fragrance of tea.
The small wooden table is like a chess table, and the chess game on the table has reached the point of close combat.
"Yes, I had guessed it."
Looking directly at the middle-aged man, the young man's eyes also became gloomy: "Captain Lu, do you suspect that I leaked his identity to Wei Changtian?"
"What else?"
The middle-aged man sneered: "Brother Xianping, shouldn't I doubt you?"
"Haha, who you suspect is your business."
The young man sneered and shook his head: "I'm not interested in explaining anything to you."
"Are you not interested in explaining, or are you unable to explain?"
Leaning forward, the middle-aged man's tone became colder, as if he would do something at any time.
But at this moment, the tea stall owner happened to come over with a pot of hot tea.
"My dear guests, our tea is not very good, but it quenches your thirst."
Placing two tea bowls in front of the two, the man said with a smile, "Try it, both of you. Call me if you need anything else!"
“.”
Call me if you need anything.
This was originally just a very ordinary sentence, but at this moment it seemed to have another meaning.
Because when the man said this, he didn't even look at the middle-aged man, his eyes were always on the young man.
The tea was warm, with a few tender leaves floating in the bowl.
It was as if time froze for a moment. When the tea stall owner uttered the last sentence, everyone present, except Chu Xianping, suddenly turned their heads to look at him.
This big man, who had just been very simple and honest, did not show any panic on his face. He just looked at Chu Xianping and bowed slightly.
"Sir, I'm right beside you. Please talk to me if you have anything to say."
"Um."
Picking up the tea bowl and taking a sip of tea, Chu Xianping's eyes remained calm.
He glanced at Lu Hongji, whose expression changed slightly, and said calmly:
"Captain Lu, you don't really think I came here alone."
“.”
His face turned from red to blue, and then from blue to normal. Lu Hongji looked at Chu Xianping, and the coldness on his face faded away little by little.
He looked around the tea stall, which was neither too big nor too small, and replied faintly:
"Of course I know you didn't come here alone, but haha, it's a good move to flatten your brother first."
"It's not a trick, it's just a matter of cherishing life."
Chu Xianping smiled and gently put down the tea bowl.
"Captain Lu, I did not tell anyone about Du Chang's identity."
"Since I have parted ways with Wei Changtian, I will naturally not do such a useless thing."
"And I have already warned you before."
"Don't be too confident in everything. Wei Changtian is not an ordinary person."
"Captain Lu, you didn't listen to my advice. Who can you blame for this?"
