Chapter 230 Young Master [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]

The prisoners under Liang Fuguo all looked dirty and had tattoos on their faces. They hid in this quarry in prison uniforms and could possibly remain undetected for ten years.

After all, having prisoners disguise themselves as criminals is definitely a professional match, and they all have rich life experience.

Compared with the old prisoners here, Boss Xue, who is sentenced to life imprisonment, is considered to have a minor crime.

When Cao Yi saw this scene, he knew that something was wrong. With these people around, it would be difficult for him to take Cao Tong away on his own.

Liang Yue said softly: "Brother Cao, from your point of view, it is better to faint now."

"Indeed." Cao Yi also saw the situation clearly and nodded, "Thank you for your trouble."

Bang.

A flying stone came from nowhere and hit Cao Yi on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious to the ground.

The prisoner was Liang Fuguo's secret. Although the Yinmaguan must have known about it, this matter could not be made public, unless the emperor planned to completely liquidate the left prime minister's forces one day. Before that, it was very embarrassing to see the prisoner taking Cao Tong away.

It would be better to explain it as being knocked unconscious due to a sudden change.

Luo Lao looked around with sharp eyes and suddenly saw an acquaintance, "Gao Yuan, you are working for Liang Fuguo now?"

A tall and strong figure flashed in the smoke and dust. There was a slanting scar on the man's face, which looked like it had been cut by a knife or an axe, and his eyes were cold and indifferent.

"Back then, when I was in the Hanzhou Army, my superior protected a local bully and caused trouble. He wanted me to take the blame, so I killed my superior in anger and fled to the mountains. You led your men to chase me for three days and three nights and captured me in the snowy mountains." The sturdy man said solemnly, "You should have thought I was dead at that time."

"Liang Fuguo is really bold to gather all of you together. Who does he think he is to have the authority to pardon death row prisoners on behalf of Your Majesty?" Old Luo snorted coldly.

"There is justice between heaven and earth." An old woman holding a black umbrella came out and said, "We are not dying just to uphold justice for the Left Prime Minister."

"It sounds nice, but you're just a lackey, helping him fight for power." Old Luo was quite disdainful.

"Why waste your time talking to him?" A thin man who looked like a peddler shouted, "Let's all stand together and take him down. If he dares to kill the hostage, we will tear out his tendons and skin him, and stuff his soul into your black umbrella to torture him."

"Hehe." The old woman smiled coldly, "This old woman's umbrella has not received any souls for many years, so it doesn't matter if I use it again today."

"Stop it!" Luo Lao frowned and shouted angrily, "Why are you so anxious? I didn't say I won't hand the person over to you. I just want to say that after I hand the person over to you, remember to ask Liang Fuguo to come back and let me out."

He was a little angry that these gangsters had no sense of rules, and they were not allowed to be tough with their words?
I just want to discuss the conditions.

"I will definitely convey your words to Lord Zuo Xiang. As for whether he agrees or not, it depends on his decision. But you have made a contribution this time, and your efforts will definitely not be in vain. You don't have to worry about this, Mr. Luo." Liang Yue advised.

It can be considered as giving Mr. Luo a small way out.

Luo Lao then showed a satisfied expression, "You are still a good person. So for your sake, I will hand the person over to you."

Liang Yue stepped forward and took the person from Luo Lao. He was a person with a lower level of cultivation and was more likely to make Luo Lao let down his guard.

After capturing Cao Tong, they discovered that all his energy channels had been locked by Old Luo, otherwise he would not be so at the mercy of others.

Liang Yue first stuffed a pill into the other person's mouth, and said at the same time: "I'm sorry."

"What is this?" Cao Tong became calm when he saw that things had come to this point.

"The Three-Day Soul-Fixing Pill is the pill I asked for from the Dan Ding Sect." Liang Yue said with a smile, "The effect is that after taking this pill, any poison that enters your body will not be able to harm you within three days."

Because there had been cases of people being poisoned or committing suicide after being imprisoned, Liang Yue decided to prepare in advance and asked Wei Ping'er for this elixir that could prevent poison.

Although there is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days, this pill can still play a big role at certain times.

"Haha." Cao Tong laughed twice, "You really are worthy of being the son of Liang Fuguo. You are meticulous and cunning, and you have his style."

"It was just a misunderstanding..." Liang Yue was suddenly embarrassed and explained quickly.

At this moment, the old woman came up and said, "Young master, just leave this man to us. The Left Prime Minister is waiting for you at the Prime Minister's Gate, you can go see him now." Hearing her call, Cao Tong's eyes showed a playful light.

It’s like saying, everyone has made it clear, why are you still pretending?
"No..." Liang Yue quickly turned around and said, "Senior, what did you call me?"

"Oh, Liang Xianguan." The old woman quickly changed her words, "The old woman is confused."

Liang Yue nodded and said, "Thank you for troubling me this time. You can escort this person back."

As the prisoners turned to leave, they could still hear the dishevelled old man holding a wine jug scolding the old woman, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you talk about such things outside?"

"I thought it was true. After all, Lord Zuo Xiang has never handed over prisoners to outsiders..." the old woman defended in a low voice.

"Even if it's true, you can't talk nonsense." The old man warned.

"I understand..." the old woman responded repeatedly.

Liang Yue looked at their receding backs and listened to their voices floating in the wind, and for a moment he felt like crying but had no tears.

……

After leaving the quarry, he came to Xiangguo Gate again.

The officials in the queue still made way consciously, and Liang Yue simply strode in. Even if he was humble, Liang Fuguo would send someone to call him soon.

Sure enough, he cut in line and entered the office, and soon arrived opposite Liang Fuguo.

"You did a good job." The Left Prime Minister smiled. "To be honest, I didn't expect you to find Cao Tong so quickly. He disappeared for so long, I thought he might be hiding in the quarry, but there are all kinds of people there, and it's impossible to screen them one by one. The captain in charge is also a member of the Imperial Guard, so we must act quickly and not alert his superiors, which is not easy."

"I was also lucky. I happened to catch up with Cao Tong and Captain Chen's conspiracy to get rid of the control of the Imperial Guard and the Horse Drinking Bureau and escape from the quarry completely." Liang Yue only responded modestly, "If Captain Chen hadn't faked his death and lost the support of the Imperial Guard, I might have had to find a way to deal with him for a while."

What he said was true. If Cao Tong and Captain Chen had not suddenly caused this incident and put them in an isolated situation, Liang Yue would definitely not dare to use force to capture them.

"They have no choice, because ever since I captured Haidong Marquis but didn't declare him guilty, the royal family has been very vigilant about this." Liang Fuguo said, "Everyone involved with Haidong Marquis has begun to clean up their traces, including Jiang Zhenye. Haidong Marquis was one of the few witnesses of his incident in Yunxiang Country, so of course he had to take action. Cao Tong has been keeping an eye on the news outside, so it's impossible that he didn't know about this."

"As long as Jiang Zhenye has doubts, Cao Tong will worry about his own safety. This move is to warn him. It is precisely because they must be in chaos that I ask you to investigate now." Liang Fuguo's expression showed a hint of planning.

After listening to him, Liang Yue finally understood his intention.

This series of operations was originally within Liang Fuguo's expectations. He might not have been able to predict such precise details, but he was basically in control of the general direction of the development of the situation.

The moment he captured the Marquis of Haidong, things could only go this way.

King Ding Gou didn't dare to bet that Liang Fuguo didn't know about Cao Tong, and Cao Tong didn't dare to bet that King Ding Gou didn't want to kill him. So Cao Tong had no choice but to run away. Once he ran away, he would have no one to rely on, and Liang Yue could take the opportunity to capture him at a relatively low cost.

Of course, Liang Yue’s efforts to break the impasse were indispensable in the process, but Liang Fuguo’s planning of the overall situation was indeed ingenious.

"I have borrowed your identity from the Zhuxie Yamen this time. I cannot reward you officially, so I will give you some thanks in private." Liang Fuguo took out a waist badge and placed it on the table with a clang.

Liang Yue picked it up and saw that the card was emitting a dark golden light. There was a word "Liang" on the front and the words "Si Hai Tong Da" on the back.

"This is..." He looked at Liang Fuguo.

Liang Fuguo said: "This is a badge that only the core members of the Liang family have. Its authority is only second to that of the head of the family and the elders. It can mobilize a large part of the manpower and material resources at any time from any of the Liang family's industries in the seventy-eight prefectures of Jiuzhou. There are no more than twenty people in my family who have this level of badge, and there are only three or two people in the younger generation. With this badge, you can travel around the world without any money."

"Isn't this too expensive?" Liang Yue hesitated for a moment.

In fact, what he was thinking about was not the value, but that if he got this label, wouldn’t it be even more difficult to explain the matter of his illegitimate child in the future?

Liang Fuguo just waved his hand and said, "Just take it."
