Eternal Sword

Chapter 64: Don't Meet Old Huang
Hu Leibao's speed was even faster than Chen Tang had imagined.

In an hour and a half, he had arrived near Changze County.

Chen Tang dismounted, patted Hu Leibao's body, and said, "Go by yourself, stay here and don't go far. When the time comes, listen to my whistle and come out."

Hu Leibao has a wild temperament. Even if you tie it to a tree, it will bite the reins off. It is better to let it play by itself.

Hu Leibao raised his horse's head to show that he understood.

Then he ignored Chen Tang, walked down the official road, and disappeared in a flash.

Chen Tang headed towards Changze County.

Not long after, they arrived at a remote place. There were lights on in one of the houses. A man was standing at the door with a bamboo stick in his mouth. It was Meng Liangyu.

The two agreed to meet here tonight.

Chen Tang walked into the house, and Meng Liangyu smiled and said, "You arrived earlier than I thought."

"Is it going well?"

Chen Tang asked.

Meng Liangyu's smile faded, and he said in a deep voice, "The Evil Wolf Gang has become cowardly. Their reaction is within our expectations. However, there are some changes on the Black Water Gang's side. It is said that two deacons from the upper hall have come, both of whom are eighth-rank warriors."

"Our original plan was to assassinate the leader of the Black Water Gang, Cong Qingyi, at the banquet and provoke a fight between the two gangs. But with two eighth-rank warriors here, it may not be easy to succeed."

Chen Tang said: "It's okay, I brought three stone bows this time."

Meng Liangyu's eyes lit up.

The power of three stone bows is much greater than that of one stone bow!
At close range, an eighth-grade warrior would be completely defenseless and absolutely unable to dodge.

Meng Liangyu nodded and said, "Then there's no problem."

Chen Tang asked again: "Is that Old Huang coming over tonight?"

Before leaving, Chen Tang asked Meng Liangyu to invite the warden of the county prison to come out.

Although he learned from Niu Er and Cui Yong why Chen Da'an was imprisoned, Cui Yong and Niu Er did not know the situation in prison.

Chen Tang wanted to know what Chen Daan experienced in prison and whether he left any words for him.

"Come on, I'll be there in a moment."

Meng Liangyu said: "Do you want to meet him? He has been in prison for many years and he probably won't recognize you. Then, you can say that you are my friend."

"It's better not to meet him. He may not be able to let go if there are outsiders around."

Chen Tang shook his head and said, "I'll be listening in the inner room. Just help me get a few words out of it."

"to make."

Meng Liangyu said: "Just stay in the inner room. I will help you find out when the time comes. I will definitely be able to get the truth out of him."

Chen Tang nodded, turned and went into the inner room, sat in the dark, slowly pulled out the long knife, and quietly looked at the last gift Chen Daan left for him.

Tonight, he will use this knife to settle the grudge and give Chen Daan an explanation!
……

Less than half an incense stick.

Meng Liangyu's voice came from the door.

"Master Huang, this way."

"Oh, Captain Meng, I don't deserve that. I'm just a few years older than you, so just call me Old Huang."

Through the crack in the window, Chen Tang saw a skinny old man walking towards him from a distance. Perhaps he had not seen the sun for a long time, his face looked a little pale, his hands were tucked into his sleeves, and when he smiled, wrinkles appeared on his face.

"It's only right for me to call you Master Huang, you can just call me Xiao Meng."

Meng Liangyu laughed and welcomed Lao Huang into the house.

The table in the living room was already filled with dishes and drinks.

"Oh, such a rich preparation."

Old Huang said, "Xiao Meng, don't you have to go to Qingyun Tower to attend the banquet tonight?"

Meng Liangyu said, "There's no rush. Too many people is annoying. Let's have a couple of drinks first. Mr. Huang, please take a seat. There's no outsider here. Don't be polite." "Speaking of which, Mr. Huang, your reputation in Changze County is greater than that of the county magistrate. People say that it's better to meet the King of Hell than to meet Old Huang."

"Haha, these are just rumors spread by the common people."

Meng Liangyu chatted with Lao Huang about all sorts of things, praising and flattering him.

Old Huang's face flushed slightly, he was a little tipsy, and gradually started to talk.

The dishes have been served three times and the wine has been served five flavors.

Old Huang smiled and said, "Xiao Meng, let's not beat around the bush. You asked me to come here, so there must be something wrong, right?"

"Haha."

Meng Liangyu laughed loudly and said, "Master Huang is indeed a straightforward person!"

After a pause, Meng Liangyu lowered his voice and said, "There is indeed something going on. I want to deal with someone. However, his crime is not serious enough, and he will probably be released in a few days. I want to ask Master Huang if there is any way."

"Hey! I thought it was a big deal, but it's just a small matter. Just tell me about it."

Old Huang said, "I'm not exaggerating. In Changze County, Master Sun is naturally the most powerful. But in this prison, I am the boss! The life and death of those who enter this prison depends on my thoughts."

"Oh?"

Meng Liangyu asked: "What's the story behind this? If the crime is not serious, what can be done?"

"It doesn't matter if the crime is not serious."

Old Huang waved his hands nonchalantly and said, "Once he's in jail, there will always be ways to cause trouble for him. Even a strong man can't stand the whip and torture."

"For example, some time ago, there was a hunter named Chen Daan. He actually didn't commit a serious crime, and the new emperor ascended the throne and issued a general amnesty, so he should have been released."

"But he cursed Magistrate Sun in court, and Captain Cui also came to say hello. How can he get out alive?"

Meng Liangyu nodded and said, "I seem to have heard about this matter. Chen Daan seems to be a stubborn person and refused to plead guilty in court."

"hehe."

Old Huang sneered and said, "No matter how hard a bone is, it has its weaknesses. After it fell into my hands, it still surrendered and confessed its guilt."

"Did he plead guilty later?" Meng Liangyu asked with a raised eyebrow.

"admit."

Old Huang said: "I tortured him a lot and he fainted several times, but he never confessed. Later, he felt that he didn't have much time left, so he confessed and wanted me to ask his children to come over so that he could see him for the last time."

"Oh, can I do what he wants? Even if Magistrate Sun hadn't come, I would have to teach him a lesson if Captain Cui hadn't said hello!"

Old Huang took another sip of wine and didn't notice that Meng Liangyu's expression had gradually turned cold.

Meng Liangyu said calmly: "You don't have any hatred with him, why do this."

Old Huang said, "He refused to obey! He even dared to talk back to me when he came to me. What happened in the end? In order to see his child for the last time, he had to give in and kneel on the ground to beg me."

“There is no one I cannot heal who falls into my hands.”

Meng Liangyu asked, "Didn't you ask his children to come over?"

"Why bother with him? There are so many things like this in the prison. I don't have any money, so I'll just go there for nothing."

Old Huang said, "But a few days later, I heard that his child went to the county government office and took Chen Daan back with him."

"But what was taken away was a corpse, hehe!"

At this point, for some reason, Lao Huang suddenly felt a chill and couldn't help shivering.

Old Huang realized that he might have said too much, so he said, "Let's not talk about him. Xiao Meng, if you want to deal with someone, just tell me when the time comes. Among the several captains in Changze County, you are the youngest and have a bright future. Just don't forget me when the time comes."

Meng Liangyu said: "I have a friend who might want to meet you."

After saying that, Meng Liangyu stood up and left the room.
