I'm the villain in the book

chapter 27
Like the setting of many novels, the Daning Dynasty has always maintained a "zero tolerance" attitude towards monsters.

Since almost a hundred years ago, a yellow-skinned child was almost enthroned as emperor, the living environment of monsters in Daning has become more and more difficult. Not only has "the monster cannot be forgiven" written into the Daning law, but the hanging mirror division was established for the first time. The official demon removal agency - "The Willow Leaf Office".

For ninety-nine percent of the demons, once they are discovered, they will definitely be chased and killed endlessly.

The remaining small part will be imprisoned in the special "Monster Suppression Prison" of the Xuanjing Division and become a "production machine" for some precious materials.

The big spider that spins silk day and night, the giant fish whose scales can be used as breastplates, the nine-zhang white snake that can secrete the most poisonous thing in the world... The big monsters who have not yet transformed have been arrested from all over the country to suppress the monsters. Prison until the last bit of value is drained.

The Demon Suppression Prison is the only legal place to feed demons. If a private person dares to raise any demon, no matter what the reason is, it will be regarded as a "treachery".

There is absolutely no possibility of opening up.

So now Wei Changtian said that Zhang Hongwen was "feeding demons", which undoubtedly convicted him of a heinous crime that was enough to implicate the nine clans.

……

The air in the main room was almost frozen.

The clear and translucent tea was cold, and Li Kan stared at Wei Changtian with wide eyes, his Adam's apple squirming slightly.

He couldn't tell whether it was true or not.

But Wei Changtian's expression was serious, and he didn't seem to be joking.

"..."

After a long while, Li Kan finally calmed down and asked, "Young Master Wei, do you know what you said just now?"

"know."

Wei Changtian nodded: "It means that the entire Zhang family will lose their heads."

"..."

Li Kan took a deep breath and asked again, "Then do you know that there must be no half-truths in this matter?"

"Of course, since I dare to say it in front of Mr. Li, naturally I already have sufficient evidence."

Wei Changtian's words are clear.

In the novel, Xiao Feng threatened the Zhang family for his own use with Zhang Hongwen's "monster feeding" handle, and eventually became a great weapon against the Wei family.

Even if Tiandao opposes him, it is absolutely impossible to change the fact that this has happened.

"it is good……"

Seeing that Wei Changtian was so determined, Li Kan finally believed half of it.

He was silent for a long time, and some other thoughts began to slowly come to his mind.

If Zhang Hongwen died of sin, he could indeed go further.

Of course, Wei Jiading has a plan, but he doesn't know what he wants from himself...

You can talk to Wei Xianzhi!

"Young Master Wei, this matter is too important. I'll wait until I go to the mansion tomorrow to meet Master Wei..."

Li Kan made up his mind to discuss the conditions with Wei Xianzhi directly, but he was interrupted by Wei Changtian without thinking:

"Master Li, only I know about this now."

"what?"

Li Kan was stunned for a moment, and his tone was full of disbelief: "Didn't the Xuanjing Division find out about this?"

"No."

Wei Changtian shook his head: "It was found by my subordinates, and I have personally confirmed it. It is absolutely true."

"How can I trust you?"

Li Jian asked a question almost subconsciously.

In his mind, the "credit ratings" of Wei Changtian and Wei Xianzhi are completely different.

In the face of doubts, Wei Changtian didn't explain much, just said indifferently: "Master Li, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, but I can tell you this..."

"As long as I think about it, within three days, Zhang Hongwen will be reduced to a prisoner."

"..."

as long as I want.

Li Kan keenly caught the key words and knew that Wei Changtian was going to make a request.

After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and decided to speak directly.

"Young Master Wei, since we've already said that, let's get straight to the point."

"How can you do anything to Zhang Hongwen? What do you need me to do?"

"Hahaha! Master Li is refreshing!"

Wei Changtian laughed twice, knowing that half of what happened today was already half done.

"To be honest, I think Master Li will do me a small favor."

"A few days ago, I heard that the Liu family instigated a lot of evil people to sue me for several crimes. It seems that there will be a joint trial of the three divisions... Mr. Li, I don't know if this is true or not?"

"Uh……"

Li Kan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Wei Changtian to come here for this matter, and he didn't expect Wei Changtian to find out about it.

You must know that the Liu family is behind the tribunal. From the Ministry of Punishment to the Metropolitan Court, and then to the Dali Temple, few people know the inside story, and the confidentiality is very strict, in order to catch the Wei family by surprise.

This is also the reason why he hadn't contacted him all the time.

But who would have expected them to be secretive for a long time, but Wei Changtian already knew about it!
Could it be that this son really has a more treacherous intelligence organization than the Department of Hanging Mirrors?
Li Kan's eyes changed when he looked at Wei Changtian for a while.

It's just that he could not have imagined that the culprit of this leak was actually Li Yang.

Day and night defense, home thieves are hard to prevent!

"That's true."

Now that Wei Changtian has said it, Li Kan also knows that it is meaningless to hide it now, so he simply admits it generously: "Liu Xiang personally inquired about this case, and there are very few insiders, and he has been secretly promoting it before."

"Yes, I know."

Wei Changtian nodded and said directly, "Master Li, I just need you to tell me one thing."

"what's up?"

"List of witnesses in this case, and where are they being held now?"

"..."

Li Kan's expression changed in an instant: "Are you going to... kill them?!"

"Master Li, I didn't say that."

Wei Changtian smiled: "You just need to tell me the list and address, and I will handle the rest."

"This……"

Li Kan was caught in a long test.

He is very clear that this choice is not as simple as changing an intelligence for a promotion opportunity.

This is a lineup that concerns his official career and even his life.

The Liu family or the Wei family?

If what Wei Changtian said is true, it seems that the Wei family will be more reliable.

After all, even if they handed over the witness list, the Liu family might not be able to find out that they did it, at least in a short period of time.

And if you don't pay, you will undoubtedly have a grudge with the Wei family from now on.

But...is what Wei Changtian said really true?Did Zhang Hongwen feed demons?

Li Kan was extremely entangled, but he had to choose.

Just when he hesitated for a long time and still could not make up his mind, Wei Changtian suddenly turned his head to look at the landscape painting behind him, and asked seemingly casually: "Master Li, this painting has a long artistic conception, I don't know which hand it came from. ?"

Li Kan was stunned, but answered truthfully: "...Ye Yi'an."

"Saint Ye Hua!"

Wei Changtian smacked his lips: "Tsk tsk, how can such a big picture be worth thousands of dollars?"

"Master Wei, this painting is a gift from a friend of mine."

Li Kan said sternly: "I didn't know the value at that time, otherwise I would definitely not accept it!"

"Clap clap clap!"

The sound of applause suddenly echoed in the quiet hall, full of mockery.

Looking at Li Kan's blushing face, Wei Changtian clapped his hands and smiled, "Lord Li's words are a bit modest. It's just a mere daughter, so it shouldn't mean anything to you."

"Master Wei! What do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean?"

Wei Changtian got up, walked to the landscape map, stood still, reached out and touched a small boat drawn on it.

"Just the treasure hidden behind this wall is enough to buy dozens of Ye Yian's paintings."

"..."

"Clang clang! Puff!"

The sound of tables and chairs overturning came after a while, and an old Li Kan was so frightened that he fell directly to the ground.

This time, he had no choice at all.

"Wei, Young Master Wei, I will let you send me from now on, and please, please raise your hand, raise your hand..."

Wei Changtian didn't look back, didn't answer, just asked the question just now: "Where are those people hidden by the Liu family?"

"Ren, Ren'an Square, Huaihua Lane..."
