Chapter 344: The cunning rabbit has three burrows, secretly setting fire to fire
Tie Tang did not expect that his proper arrangement would still have flaws. It seemed that there was still insufficient information.
Thinking that Gou Zhen's strength was beyond his expectation, he quickly asked.
"Is everyone else okay?"
Tie Long's heart warmed up, and he immediately responded after hearing this: "The Li brothers went to visit Gouzhai at night and were injured by the villain. Everyone else was fine."
"Please tell me carefully what's going on."
Tie Long looked at Tie Hu: "Second brother, I have a stupid mouth. You tell me."
Tiehu was self-righteous and followed the lead and said: "Sir, it's like this. I didn't know until I arrived at Zhoufeng City last night that the identity of the villain had not been confirmed..."
It turns out that the Li brothers were waiting outside Gou Mansion for a stick of incense, which made the delay even longer.
Tian Wen waited impatiently, so he followed the scent of Li Qingze and Li Qingyuan and found the Gou Mansion. He didn't want to happen to meet the two brothers at a time of life and death.
He immediately took action, using the Buddhist Golden Lotus of Lotus Tyranny to block Gou Zhen's magical power and rescued the Li brothers.
Immediately, Tianwen used his powerful Vajra Finger to pierce and shock his right shoulder, hoping to take advantage of the situation to take down the opponent.
Gou Zhen's cultivation strength has indeed improved greatly in the past twenty years. Instead of regressing, he has somehow entered the secret realm of magic and witches and became an ancient witch.
However, the opponent he faced was none other than the true disciple of Daleiyin Temple, the pinnacle of Buddhism.
After a few fights...
Gou Zhen was defeated by Tianwen using his weak force to defeat the strong one, and he was defeated steadily.
Seeing that this person was clearly just a great witch cultivator of the Yuanshen, but his strength was boundless, Gou Zhen immediately knew that he had bumped into the hard-hitting among the hard-hitting.
He was born in the Gou family and had a lot of experience. He quickly guessed that Tian Wen's qualifications must be a top talent.
Whether it is thirty-six or seventy-two orifices is not a question that needs to be considered now.
The fact at the moment is...he can't beat Tianwen, he is no match at all.
There are also some bankers in the house who he entertained in the past, with varying strengths, but there are no witches and Taoists above the Mystic Realm of Divine Witches.
Know that you are invincible.
Gou Zhen summoned his friends and asked the bankers coming from all over to stop Tian Wen. He lied that this man was a Buddhist bald donkey who came to rob, and wanted to use his magical power to capture him.
The dealers didn't know what was going on, and there were also many people among them who had done bad things in the past, so they all joined forces to stop Tian Wen.
And Gou shocked himself...
Where does the natal supernatural power come from?
He immediately greased the soles of his feet and took advantage of the chaotic situation to run away.
Tian Wen, who was entangled by a group of bankers, didn't dare to kill them because he didn't know who these people were.
After repelling these people with three punches and five kicks, the Li brothers also woke up and confirmed that the person before was Gou Zhen.
The violent fluctuations in the mansion also attracted the attention of Tie Long and Tie Hu, and they captured the escaping aura.
The two brothers didn't know Gou Zhen, but they also realized something was wrong.
At the critical moment, Tiehu made a quick decision and went to catch up, leaving Tielong to ask the gods for details.
After Tielong found Tianwen, he followed Tiehu's route until he left the city and reached a deep mountain.
Tian Wen, who arrived later, searched everywhere with the Tie brothers, but finally lost the trace of Gou Zhen.
Then he returned to the city and rushed back to Qingshui to report.
After hearing this, Tie Tang asked: "The hooking method is so good? Can you escape from the pursuit of the three of you?"
Tiehu quickly explained: "After all, he is also a magic witch, and he has extremely powerful physical and magical powers. I almost lost him.
But if that's all, with the three of us encircling him, it's only a matter of time before we capture him.
But he obviously had taken precautions.
In a secret cave deep in the mountains, a small teleportation array was secretly built.
When we found it, the formation was intact, but the formation at the other end of the transmission line must have been destroyed by the hook shock and could no longer be relayed.
That’s why we lost all traces of him and didn’t search too much.”
"The Cunning Rabbit has three caves. It seems that Gou Zhen also knows that the Gou family is not omnipotent. Sooner or later, he will be exposed one day, so he has prepared backup plans in advance.
That being the case, it doesn’t matter, where are Li Qingze and Li Qingze now?"
"Mr. Li's head injury was relatively minor. After the master treated him, he is still staying in Zhoufeng City, leading his men to hunt down the remnants and collect evidence.
Li Qingyuan County was arrested because his throat bone was broken and his injuries were more serious. He returned with me and others, and now he is back at Li’s house to recuperate.”
"Thanks for their hard work..." Tie Tang flicked his finger, and Tie Hu had two more life pills in his hand, worth two hundred years of life.
"You go to the Fang Family Treasure Pavilion and buy him a healing elixir. If you have any, you can give it to their brothers, as a token of my appreciation."
Tie Long looked at it with some reluctance: "My lord...isn't it a little too much? Why do you need two hundred years of life for this kind of injury?"
The purchasing power of the Life Pill is extremely strong, and two hundred years is not a long time.
Don't look at the formations that Tie Tang creates here, which can easily cost tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of life yuan, but the purchasing power of a hundred years of life has not weakened at all.
Compared with the official currency issued by the imperial court, the exchange rate of a hundred-year life dollar fluctuates between five hundred and one thousand taels of gold.
One tael of gold is equivalent to ten taels of silver.
Qingfeng's monthly salary in Yuncheng County was only eighty-two or nine cents.
Even in Qingshui City, which is relatively affluent, the monthly salary of county jailor Li Qingyuan does not exceed one hundred taels.
The life elixirs that Tie Tang took out casually were of high quality and quantity, without any discount. They only had a lot more longevity, they were extremely pure and had no impurities.
One pill of this kind of life elixir is equivalent to the salary of Li Qingyuan, a county jailer for four or five years. No matter how you look at it, it is not too small.
That's why Iron Dragon feels distressed.
He started from scratch and knew that making money was not easy. Now that he considered Tie Tang one of his own, he wanted to save some money.
Tie Tang waved his hand: "Don't you know that a thousand pieces of gold can be used to buy horse bones? Their brothers were injured while working for me. This is nothing.
I don’t look at the monk’s face but also the Buddha’s face. After all, they are members of the Li family, so they can be considered on my side.
You don’t need to worry about it, just do it quickly.”
Tie Long wanted to say something more, but was pulled away by Tie Hu without further delay.

"Sir, I'll do it soon, don't worry."
After the two left, Lu Zhengqing finally came back to his senses.
"It turns out that the Lord came to me to talk all night... He had other intentions. Could it be that the Gou Zhen from back then is still alive in the world now?"
Tie Tang picked up the cold tea and took a sip: "Brother Lu, you have heard it. You should know that this is true."
"This..."
"It seems that someone did something wrong back then...but I was derelict in my duty."
The imperial court's punishment of beheading must have taken into account the difficulty of the Yuanshen Great Witch.
When the knife fell, the six Yangs fell off, the soul was damaged, and the murderous aura blocked the vitality. Even though Gou Zhen was a great witch of the soul, there was only one way to die.
But since he is not dead, there must be an article in it.
Was it the executioner who had tampered with it, or was there something wrong with the torture instrument? Why didn’t the supervisor find anything unusual...
All the activities here must be carefully investigated and uprooted, which will inevitably involve many aristocratic families in Qingshui City.
"It doesn't matter, you were in a high position back then, and you didn't always pay attention to the execution of a death row prisoner.
There is no need to say anything more about my dereliction of duty, so as not to sound like I am wrong."
Lu Zhengqing shook his head and sighed, and was worried: "This matter is so strange, and it happened at this moment... I don't know who is behind it secretly.
Sir, how do you think... how to deal with those heads of aristocratic families?"
It's already dawn, and aristocratic families are starting to come from the interior of Laiying Palace to discuss the formation.
Tie Tang's original plan was to capture Gou Zhen first during the night. When the time came, the person would be in his hands and it would be his business to rub him or her.
Other aristocratic families, including the Gou family, did not dare to openly oppose a death row prisoner.
Things are a little different now.
Tie Tang thought for a while: "It doesn't matter, this matter does not conflict with the formation matter. As long as no one mentions it, who can know about it?
Even the Gou family themselves may not know the news now."
"I'm afraid that someone will interfere with it..."
"If someone is willing to jump out, that would be great. I was just about to see who gave me the meeting gift."
——
The scorching sun breaks through and the sky gradually becomes brighter.
The county government came to welcome the hall, and there were more guests in the hall.
Tie Tang had already arrived, and Li Qingwan, He Changsheng, Qiu Zhengyang and others also rushed there one after another.
In addition to the off-duty officials and aristocratic families, there were eight to nine hundred people in the venue.
It won’t take long.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Tie Tang, who was in the front seat, stood up and saluted the many officials and family heads in front of him.
"Thanks to you for your compliments, we will discuss the city defense formation again today."
Kong Gaozhuo stood up first and returned a salute: "You're welcome, Commander Tie. We all came here for Sangzi's hometown. It's just our job."
Then many followers, either sincerely or falsely, started to compliment me one after another.
"My lord, there is no need to say anything. We all understand."
"It's been decided before, come and implement it today, it's just a small matter."
"A certain family has money ready, it's just waiting for the adults to ask."
.......
Tie Tang nodded and continued: "Tie has invited Tianpeng Formation Master from the Fang family.
The old man personally weighed the decision, weighed the pros and cons, and agreed on a formation called "Twenty-Eight Constellations".
This formation is mainly based on the star power of Zhoutian, creating 218 star flags.
It does not depend on the terrain, but only seeks peace. It is so powerful that it can block immortals and gods, and it is even more powerful to challenge those who hold the Tao. It is truly a strange formation in the world."
"What? Can you block the master?"
"Impossible... How can we, a small village with a small family, accommodate such a large formation?"
"If Tie Tang did not exaggerate, once this formation falls, we will have nothing to worry about and no longer need to fear any foreign enemies."
"I heard that the three major evil cults have been causing trouble recently. We in Qingshui are poor and poor, and others will look down on us."
"It's hard to say, but with the presence of this troublemaker, it's not uncommon to attract wild bees and butterflies."
"Yes, what you said makes sense. Ours is a small temple, but there are more than one big Buddha living there. It might attract some demons."
"Okay, don't talk about anything else. According to what he said... If you can compete with the Taoist master's formation, then you don't have to start with hundreds of thousands of lifespan?
If that’s the case, we wouldn’t be able to make so much money if we were to be packaged and sold together.”
"Yes, yes, this is the truth. Everyone wants good things, but the problem is that they can't afford them."
Everyone discussed it, and although they were delighted that the formation was extremely powerful, they were more worried that the price would be too high.
The head of the Gou family was the first to stand up and take the lead.
"Sir, let's not talk about the power of the formation, but what is the price...?"
Gou Yangshu, director of the Salt Department, winked, and his subordinate treasurer Qian Lai also echoed: "Sir, you have been walking lightly, but you don't know the sufferings of our noble family, and the landlord's family has no surplus food.
If the money is too high... I might not be able to bear it."
"Yes, yes, it is beyond our ability to bear."
"No matter how good the formation is, you still need money."
......
"Heh~"
Tie Tang sat down again and looked directly at the crowd.
"The cost of building this array is about 100 million taels of gold, which is equivalent to about 120,000 yuan of life. Tie has already spent 30,000 yuan, and he can also spend more.
There are so many of you and so many aristocratic families, how can you not make up for the remaining money if you join forces?
Don’t think I can be bullied!”
Everyone was silent for a while, each thinking quickly in their minds.
There were about six to seven hundred aristocratic families present, and more than half of them were families that had long since declined, had no money and no power, and were trying to make themselves fat and unwilling to lose the reputation of their ancestors.
In the past, these aristocratic families themselves were extremely poor and were not as good as some wealthy merchants. It is impossible to expect them to spend much money.
However, since there are many of them, it doesn't matter if they have less money. Each family can still deal with it if they only have a few hundred taels of gold.
Together, these people can live for at least 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
The remaining more than 200 aristocratic families are the big ones.
There are first-rate families like Lu, Si, Gou, Ji, and Yang, second-rate families like Youfang and Li, and third-rate families like Ji, Qian, He, and Qiu.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Families like the He family, Qiu family, and Qiu Zhengyang, both of which have personal influence, have a small number of people but a lot of money, so they are more likely to give out more money.
A second-rate family like the Li family has a great reputation, but because the family has a big business and a lot of expenses, they may spend less.
But no matter what, it is not difficult for more than two hundred aristocratic families to gather the remaining money, and it is even more than enough.
The key is to see if they are willing!
"How? Any questions?"
Seeing that they were silent, Tie Tang could only forcefully speak to break the deadlock.
Originally, he wanted the Lu family to speak first, but the head of the Lu family was not in Qingshui City these days, and even Lu Zhengqing didn't know where he had gone.
Without the Lu family as the leader, the four major aristocratic families are left unmoved, and only some aristocratic families standing on Tie Tang's side are left to speak out.
"I have no problem." He Changsheng spoke on behalf of the He family.
"Qiu has lived in Qingshui for a long time, so he naturally deserves a share."
"Li is willing to do his best."
"The Fang family has everything they need."
"Ji is also willing."
"I am a county policeman and have saved some money over the years. I am willing to pay for the formation."
......
As soon as the officials of several big aristocratic families opened their mouths, hundreds of weak aristocratic families also followed suit.
This kind of thing is only good for them. As long as they pay some money, they can enjoy a top-notch formation. There is no reason to disagree.
All of a sudden.
The hall was full of people, and the voices of agreement were endless, as if it was a prosperous and prosperous age.
However, Tie Tang did not show a smile. He knew that the four major aristocratic families did not speak up, and the absence of the head of the Lu family caused some neutral and swinging aristocratic families to start to wait and see.
And this gust of wind...
None other than the four major aristocratic families.
Tie Tang's eyes were gentle and his aura was restrained. His whole person was like a round golden elixir, and like a peerless sword hidden in its sheath, covering up all its sharpness.
"Four...what do you think of this matter?"
The head of the Yang family frowned slightly. He was called the Four Great Aristocratic Families, but he was the smallest among the four. In the past, they always advanced and retreated together.
But there are some loyal people in his family, such as Yang Xiong and others.
Yang Xiong has good qualifications, with an eighth-level talent. He has represented Qingshui City in the competition before, and has a lot of prestige.
In addition, he has cultivated Yuanshen with his personal strength, and the secret realm of magic and witches is right before his eyes. He is the rising star of this generation of the Yang family.
The new generation headed by him has long made up its mind to set up a large formation, and has been admonishing the head of the Yang family a lot in the past few days.
The opinions of the younger generations of rookies cannot be ignored. After all, the maintenance of the family will ultimately fall on these people.
However, the head of the Yang family has already had an affair with the other three major families, and knows that the Si and Gou families are firmly opposed to Tie Tang.
That's right.
They are against Tietang, not the formation.
Since Tie Tang wants to set up a formation, even if they are willing in their hearts, they still have to stop him.
Tie Tang cannot be allowed to build up his own reputation, otherwise they will not have a good life in the future.
This caused conflicts and contradictions within the Yang family.
The head of the Yang family thought about it, and when he saw Tie Tang asking a question, he straightened his robe and wanted to stand up and agree.
At this moment.
When the hall was packed with seats, a high-pitched ghostly voice suddenly sounded.
"We have set up a big formation so that you can attack us, right? Your Excellency, you have a good plan, but it is a pity that the Gou family is about to be destroyed, but you don't know the source of the disaster."
As soon as the words came out, the whole hall fell into silence.
Especially the head of the Gou family, he was originally worried that the previous grievances would lead to Tie Tang's liquidation.
At this time, when I heard someone saying that my family was about to be destroyed, I was frightened and panicked, and I couldn't help but start shooting.
