Lu Jianxun looked at Chen Pi and smiled in satisfaction."Mr. Chen, treason is a serious crime. However, I can give you a chance to turn over a new leaf. As long as you answer my question truthfully, I can save your life. If it's necessary, don't blame me for not pleading for you in front of Lord Zhang.”
Chen Pi glanced at him indifferently and endured it.
He remembered that Zhang Rishan had told him before he left that Zhang Qishan had gone to buy medicine for his master's wife.
As long as he could get that, he would be able to save his master's wife.
As long as it was related to his master's wife, even if Lu Jianxun beat him to death today, he wouldn't say a word.
"Don't tell me yet. I have plenty of opportunities to make you speak.”
Lu Jianxun turned to his adjutant and instructed,"Take him away."
Lu Jianxun ordered his men to hang Chen Pi up and beat him up until he was a bloody mess.
But even so, Lu Jianxun didn't manage to get a single word out of Chen Pi's mouth.
"You're quite stubborn at such a young age. You're not going to say anything, right? I think you're not planning to go out. After Zhang Qishan took you away, he closed the door. Tell me, what is he plotting?”
"I don't know anything."
"You don't know? He and your good master Er Yuehong disappeared at the same time. How could you not know?”Lu Jianxun didn't believe Chen Pi.
"I've already been chased out of the sect, how would I know what they're plotting?”
"Huh? You didn't say it earlier or later, but you said that you were kicked out of the sect at this time. Do you think I would believe you? Tell me, what are they plotting? If you tell me, I'll let you go immediately.”
Lu Jianxun saw that Chenpi still didn't say anything, so he gave him another plan.""Chenpi, are you worried about your master's wife? I heard that her illness is getting worse.”
"Nonsense, my master's wife is already much better.”
Chenpi took the bait.
Seeing Chen Pi's reaction, Lu Jianxun naturally knew that his words were effective.
"How did you know that I was talking nonsense in this deep prison? Tell me, what are they plotting? If you tell me, I'll let you go immediately.”
"Bah, even if I didn't betray my master, I wouldn't betray him.”
Chen Pi was a shrewd person, so he quickly realized that Lu Jianxun was making fun of him.
Lu Jianxun saw that Chen Pi was not going to say anything, so he said to the executioner beside him,"Serve him well. When he's not so stubborn, come and find me.”
"Yes, sir!"
Lu Jianxun left the prison with a belly full of anger.
After leaving the prison, Lu Jianxun quietly went to the American Chamber of Commerce alone and secretly discussed with Ju Dekao about Zhang Qishan and Er Yuehong closing their doors.
Beiping was much more lively.
Before the auction began, the best opera troupe in Beiping was invited to the New Moon Hotel.
The troupe would put on a different show every day. During this period, the people participating in the auction would come to the hall to listen to the show and order the show.
Zhang Qishan and Qi Tiezui were sitting in a corner, looking at the situation in the hall. Suddenly, they saw Zhang Ruochen come down from upstairs in a white and green robe.
"Hey, isn't that our ancestor? How did he get in?"
Wasn't it only those who had received the invitation card that could enter?
Could it be that the old ancestor also went to steal someone's invitation?
But that was impossible!
A few days ago, they had already checked all the guests who came and went. As long as Peng Sanbian was replaced, there was no one else.
Moreover, they had not seen their ancestor yesterday. Why was he suddenly here today?
Qi Tiezui was about to call Zhang Ruochen, but Zhang Qishan stopped him.
"Lord Zeng, what are you doing?"
"When the ancestor came downstairs just now, he saw us, but he didn't come over. That means that he doesn't want to acknowledge us.
The ancestor must have his own plans. We shouldn't disturb his plans.”
Qi Tiezui stared at Zhang Ruochen for a while. He found that everyone in the New Moon Hotel respected their ancestor.
The respect they had for their ancestor was different from the respect they had for them. It was as if they treated their ancestor as a god.
This made Qi Tiezui even more curious.
What method did the old ancestor use to make these people so respectful to him?
After Zhang Ruochen walked around the hall, he sat in a corner opposite Zhang Qishan and the others, looking at them from afar.
However, not long after Zhang Ruochen sat down, a pair of beautiful twins sat at his table.
These two twins were famous socialites who lingered around all kinds of rich people.
Zhang Ruochen had heard about them a few days after he arrived in Beiping.
After the two sisters sat down, they smiled at Zhang Ruochen.
Their laughter was like a flower swaying in the wind. If anyone else saw it, they would definitely admire it, but they had found the wrong person.
The person sitting in front of them was Zhang Ruochen. He had lived for more than 1,000 years.
He had seen all kinds of beauties.
