Return to the Tang Dynasty to be a villain

Chapter 1: Joining Lai Junchen at the Beginning

The second year of Wansui Tongtian in the Wu Zhou Dynasty (697 AD) was the seventh year since Wu Zhao usurped the Tang Dynasty and proclaimed herself emperor.

It was March in Chang'an City, with a gentle breeze, lush grass and singing birds.

Chongrenfang is adjacent to the imperial city, and close to Dongshi and Pingkangfang. It is a gathering place for dignitaries and is very lively on weekdays.

But at this moment, every door here is closed, and the originally bustling street is empty.

Outside a towering gate tower in the square, hundreds of armored soldiers were blocking the way.

These soldiers were obviously the elite of the army. They were arranged in a square formation, and although they stood still, they brought a murderous aura with them.

The soldiers all wore round helmets, light armor, swords hung at their waists, and spears under their elbows pointed diagonally at the sky.

The leader was a young man with an imposing appearance. He was riding a tall horse and looked very majestic.

The residents in the neighborhood had already hidden behind their doors, only daring to take a few glances through the cracks from time to time.

As soon as they saw the young man, many people gasped.

They were terrified, wondering who had offended this evil star in the residence of Qin Huaidao, the Duke of Licheng County.

The man was fat, dark-skinned and very ugly.

However, he was wearing a pink brocade robe and a peony flower as big as a bowl was stuck on his head.

But even so, who in Chang'an City would not praise his handsomeness in front of him?
Because he is the great-nephew of the current Holy Emperor Wu Zhao, the son of Liang Wang Wu Sansi, and Xin'an County Prince Wu Chonglie.

When Wu Chonglie saw that the door of Qin Mansion was closed, he became more and more impatient and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Qin Yi, you're still calling yourself the young master, and you had the guts to tease my sister. Why don't you have the guts to open the door now?"

"What."

Wu Chonglie's angry shout frightened those who were peeping behind his door.

They didn't expect that there was such a bold person in the world who dared to tease the women in the family of Liang Wang Wu Sansi.

You have to know that in today's world, because Wu Zhao usurped the Tang Dynasty and established the Zhou Dynasty, and personally ascended the throne, who doesn't know that the world has become the Wu family?
What's more, Wu Chonglie's father, Wu Sansi, is said to be in a good position to seize the crown prince position from Crown Prince Li Dan, and his reputation is at its peak.

In addition, Wu Chonglie was cruel by nature and had a disregard for human life, making him the number one scourge in Chang'an City.

They are all old neighbors who have helped each other for many years.

I heard that someone in the Qin Mansion had molested the daughter of King Liang, and now the gate has been blocked by the troops led by Prince Gaoyang.

They were horrified and couldn't help but feel some sympathy for the Qin family.

"It seems that the people in the Qin Mansion will have a hard time passing this level today."

An official who had just returned home from duty and had not yet changed out of his fourth-rank robe said to his wife at home.

"Who doesn't know that His Royal Highness Prince Liang is a sinister, cruel, and vindictive person?"

"Even the highly respected Di Renjie, Lord Di, has been framed by him and thrown into prison."

"What?" The wife, who was helping her husband change into casual clothes, was suddenly shocked. "Isn't Di Gong deeply trusted by His Majesty the Holy Emperor?"

"Di Gong is a man of integrity, honesty, and integrity. How could he be imprisoned?"

The fourth-rank official shook his head at his wife, and said with a gloomy look on his face, "You women should not ask about these matters at court."

"Now the Wu clan kings are powerful, the crown prince's position is in jeopardy, and there's also the envoy, Zheng Laijunchen, who is trying to get close to you. You should be more careful when you go out and chat with others in the future."

"Know it!"

The official's wife responded impatiently, but when she thought of how many powerful officials had died and their families had been wiped out over the years due to a little carelessness, a look of lingering fear appeared on her face.

"Tsk tsk tsk"

There were also people who were jealous of the Qin family and were shocked.

"The people in the Qin Mansion are so audacious! They actually dared to tease the King of Liang's daughter. They are truly so audacious!"

After waiting here for such a long time, the door of Qin Mansion was closed and no one came out to open it.

Wu Chonglie finally became a little impatient and turned his head to look to the other side.

"Second Brother, take a few soldiers and go break down the gate of the Qin Mansion for me."

The person Wu Chonglie called the second one was Wu Sansi's second son Wu Jizhi.

At this moment, he was wearing a phoenix-wing helmet and bright armor, and riding on a horse that was completely black without a single stray hair.

It can be seen from the fact that there is no character "Chong" in Wu Jizhi's name that he is Wu Sansi's illegitimate son.

Although he was older than Wu Chonglie, he was not made king because he was a concubine's son.

At present, he is only a fourth-rank Right Guard General.

The general of the Right Guard was his father Wu Sansi, so he dared to mobilize his own soldiers to support Wu Chonglie.

After hearing Wu Chonglie's words, how could Wu Jizhi dare to delay?
He turned around and waved, and several soldiers pushed a battering ram and slowly walked towards the gate of Qin's mansion.

"Car crash."

Seeing that Wu Chonglie actually came with the car crash, those hiding behind the door felt nervous.

If this kind of battering ram was pushed under the city wall, even the heavy city gate would not be able to withstand a few collisions, let alone the gate of the Qin family?
This group of people even brought this guy out from the military camp. I'm afraid they won't give up until they break into his house and wipe out his entire family.

Wu Chonglie, riding on his horse, watched as Wu Jizhi and a dozen soldiers pushed the battering ram, gradually approaching the gate of the Qin Mansion. He raised his right hand, which held the whip, high, licked his lips with his scarlet tongue, and a cruel smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, with a creaking sound, the door of the Qin Mansion suddenly opened a crack from the inside, and a figure squeezed out from the crack.

"It's the eldest son of the Qin family."

A sharp-eyed neighbor recognized the man's identity at a glance. This person was Qin Huaidao's eldest son, Qin Yi, the eldest son of the Qin family.

Wu Chonglie was also surprised to see Qin Yi coming out. He didn't expect that the other party would dare to come out alone.

Although he felt it was a little unbelievable, Wu Chonglie was a person who liked to act accordingly.

He knew that at this moment in Chongrenfang, there were countless people hiding at the door and spying on him.

Wu Chonglie glared at Qin Yi with two fierce rays of light in his eyes.

"Qin Yi, you're quite a courageous little thief. Do you know who you provoked this morning?"

Hearing Wu Chonglie's shout, Qin Yi felt extremely helpless.

Qin Yi knew that even if he was beaten to death on the spot by Wu Chonglie today, it would be a light punishment.

Given this man's temper, the hundreds of people in the Qin Mansion would probably be implicated by him. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and come out.

He thought that after all, Wu Sansi's daughter had not suffered any harm. If he explained it to Wu Chonglie, perhaps today's incident could be put to rest.

"Qin Yi."

Seeing that Qin Yi still had a stern and imposing expression in front of him, Wu Chonglie couldn't help but get furious.

What's the fun in bullying?
Isn’t it just watching the other person panic and beg for mercy?

At this moment, you see Qin Yi standing there safely and without any fear?
This stubborn bastard!
Wu Chonglie cursed in his heart, and the evil fire in his heart rose again.

If Qin Yi knew what Wu Chonglie was thinking, he would definitely cry out in injustice.

It’s not that Qin Yi is brave. After all, he is a time traveler and is used to the rules of a society ruled by law. He never expected that Wu Chonglie would dare to take human life.

The reason why he stood there without saying a word was because he had just teased the girl and was embarrassed to be visited by her brother.

Wu Chonglie had no idea what Qin Yi was thinking. He just thought that this was the person in front of him who remained calm when facing him.

With a shake of the reins, Wu Chonglie rode his horse to Qin Yi, raised the whip in his hand and was about to hit the other's shoulder.

Oh my god! Wu Chonglie's behavior at this moment was beyond Qin Yi's expectations. Are you serious about this?
Qin Yi cursed in his heart, and only then did he realize that he was living in the evil old society.

The whip in Wu Chonglie's hand is very famous. Wu Chonglie named it "Blood Thorn".

He had this whip specially customized by a craftsman. It was made of cowhide with iron wire and had barbs all over it.

Because it looks like thorns, the person being whipped will be covered in blood and flesh during the punishment, hence the name.

This is the torture instrument that Wu Chonglie is most comfortable using. Every whip will surely tear off a piece of bloody flesh.

The blood thorn in Wu Chonglie's hand was about to fall on the thin back of the young master of the Qin family.

Wu Chonglie seemed to see the fear in Qin Yi's eyes at this moment, and his mood suddenly turned from anger to joy.

That's right. I want to whip you, but you always act like you are ready to die. What do you want to do?
Just when Qin Yi finally couldn't help but start fighting, Wu Chonglie's emotions also reached a climax.

What the hell is this little master? Wu Chonglie sneered in his heart.

After this whip strikes you, no matter how strong a man you are, you will cry out in agony like those delicate maids in this palace.

Qin Yi felt very aggrieved at this moment, because the original owner of this body had done such a bastard thing, but he had to bear this torture.

Seeing that the cruel whip was about to fall, Qin Yi, who finally felt the dangers of society, closed his eyes in despair.

"Prince Gaoyang has such a refined taste!" A cold snort suddenly came from behind Wu Chonglie.

"You brought your troops to Chongrenfang. Are you planning to conduct drills here?"

"Which bastard dares to disturb this king?"

My excitement was interrupted, it was like I took off all my clothes and now you tell me I have my period?
He turned around angrily, and under his angry gaze, a four-person sedan came tremblingly to the gate of Qin's mansion.

A wretched-looking man followed closely beside the sedan, and the words just now were spoken by him.

Who is this person?

Wu Chonglie, Wu Jizhi and the soldiers they brought with them looked at each other in surprise.

How dare you to interfere when the Prince of Xin'an was about to hit someone?

Amid the stunned gazes of everyone present, the sedan bearer carefully lowered the sedan.

The wretched man respectfully lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and an old man over fifty years old came out of the sedan chair with his head lowered.

The old man had a thin face and a long beard under his chin.

He was wearing a gray linen Taoist robe and had gray hair tied into a bun on top of his head with a bamboo stick.

However, this old man in front of them looked ordinary and as simple and plain as the teacher in the village private school, but made Wu Chonglie and others suddenly change color when they saw him for the first time.

It turned out to be him, the Inspector of Fengge Minister and Director of the Ministry of Personnel, Lai Junchen!

Qin Yi was overjoyed. The person he had decided to join actually came.
