Chapter 19: A Wall of Gold
As soon as the woman finished speaking, Zhang Liang's voice suddenly came from outside: "As expected of Zheng Shuangcheng's family, you are so arrogant!"
Hearing these words, the faces of the woman and man in the room suddenly changed, and they hurriedly stood up from the stools.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Liang and Zhong Tian appeared in front of them.
Although the man and woman did not know Zhang Liang, they recognized Zhong Tian who was next to Zhang Liang.
When they saw him, their faces turned pale as paper in an instant.
When the man saw Zhong Tian, his lips trembled as he said, "Zhong... Zhong Tian! Why are you here?"
His voice was filled with shock and confusion.
Looking at the man's pale face, Zhong Tian snorted coldly, then said: "Zheng Tianhe, Liang family. Why can't we appear here?"
At this time, Liang stood up, her eyes flashing with anger and fear.
Liang pointed at Zhang Liang and the others and said, "Zhong Tian! You are guilty of colluding with the traitors and deserve death! When my husband arrives, you will all be dead without a burial place!"
Although Liang spoke with confidence, everyone present could see that Liang was just a coward.
Zhang Liang then slowly spoke, "If you're counting on Zheng Shuangcheng, I advise you not to let your imagination run wild."
Hearing his words, Zheng Tianhe was immediately furious. He pointed at Zhang Liang's nose and shouted, "Who the hell are you?"
His eyes were filled with anger and disdain, and he was obviously extremely dissatisfied with Zhang Liang's attitude.
The expression on Zhang Liang's face remained calm, as if he was not affected at all.
He smiled slightly, looked at Zheng Tianhe calmly, and said slowly: "I am the traitor Zhang Liang you are talking about."
His tone was relaxed, even a little playful.
The moment they heard these words, Zheng Tianhe and Liang's faces turned pale, their eyes widened, and they were filled with disbelief.
They looked at each other and saw shock and fear in each other's eyes.
Looking at the expressions of disbelief on their faces, Zhang Liang's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a playful smile.
"Why? You seem surprised?"
Zhang Liang continued, "Alright, I won't waste my time with you anymore. Tell me quickly, where did Zheng Shuangcheng keep the money he embezzled?"
His tone was firm and unquestionable, and it was obvious that he had no intention of continuing to argue with the other party.
Hearing this, Zheng Tianhe and Liang snorted, obviously extremely dissatisfied with Zhang Liang's attitude.
Zheng Tianhe straightened his back, trying to maintain a tough appearance despite feeling uneasy inside.
"Zhang Liang, you are just a traitor, how dare you be so arrogant? When my father comes back, you will know what death means."
Zhang Liang sneered and stared at Zheng Tianhe with sharp eyes, as if he was looking at a clown.
"Your father? Zheng Shuangcheng? Even if he comes back, it will take time. And during this time, you should know whether we can get rid of you."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present felt a chill.
At this moment, Zhong Tian, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.
"How come you still don't understand the situation? Do you really value money over life? You know, you can make money, but you only have one life!"
Zhong Tian's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the two men's hearts hard, making their faces even paler.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became more tense, and a murderous aura permeated the air.
Zheng Tianhe swallowed and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Under the tremendous pressure, he finally couldn't hold on any longer and slowly moved to Liang's side.
He lowered his head and said cautiously, "Mother, I think we should tell them. After all, when Father comes back and catches these traitors, the money won't be ours."
After hearing what her son said, Liang nodded quickly, with a hint of fear and helplessness in her eyes.
She understood that their current situation did not allow them to be stubborn any longer, so she said in a trembling voice, "We can tell you, but you can't hurt us!"
Zhang Liang and Zhong Tian looked at each other, and an intriguing smile flashed in their eyes.
Zhang Liang stepped forward and said to Zheng Tianhe and his mother, "Okay, I won't hurt you after I get the money."
After hearing Zhang Liang's promise, Liang and Zheng Tianhe felt a little relieved, but they were still worried.
After agreeing, Zheng Tian and his mother and son led Zhong Tian and the others towards the depths of the mansion.
A few minutes later, he entered a study.
Liang walked to the bookshelf and gently pulled one of the books.
With a roar, the bookcases slowly moved to both sides, and a staircase appeared before their eyes.
When I walked in, I found that an entire wall was made of gold.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Liang and others were extremely shocked.
Zhang Liang then slowly spoke, "I never thought a mere county magistrate could have amassed so much wealth. How much of the people's blood and sweat has he plundered?"
Zhong Tian sighed, "What's even more terrifying is that even a county magistrate has embezzled so much, which shows that other high-ranking officials are no exception."
Compared to the shocked people, Zheng Tianhe and Liang cared more about their own lives, so they couldn't wait to interrupt them.
Zheng Tianhe said to them, "Now that I have brought you here, can you please let us go?"
Hearing his words, Zhang Liang nodded and said, "Of course, I'm not someone who goes back on his word. If I say I won't hurt you, then I won't hurt you."
After hearing this, Zheng Tianhe and Liang both breathed a sigh of relief, and a hint of resentment flashed in their eyes.
As the county magistrate's family, they were used to being domineering here and had never suffered such humiliation.
But just as they were about to leave, Zhang Liang continued, "But this is just my promise to you. I didn't tell the others. I don't know what they think."
Zheng Tianhe and Liang, who had originally felt relieved, were stunned for a few seconds after hearing this, and then they immediately reacted.
Liang pointed at Zhang Liang and screamed, "You're playing word games with us! You don't even want to let us go!"
Her face flushed with anger, and her eyes were filled with despair and fear.
Hearing her words, Zhang Liang shrugged and ignored her.
His eyes were cold and firm, as if he had anticipated this scene.
Seeing that things were not going well, Zheng Tianhe turned around and ran outside, trying to escape from this dangerous place.
After Liang was stunned for a few seconds, she followed him, and the two supported each other in panic.
However, how could the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, who had been keeping an eye on them, let them go?
With a flash of silver light, the sharp sword blade drew a graceful arc in the air, followed by a dull sound of falling to the ground.
Zheng Tianhe and Liang's bodies fell weakly to the ground, and blood quickly dyed the ground red.
Zhang Liang, Zhong Tian and others had no mercy or sympathy for Zheng Tianhe and Liang Shi who were lying on the ground. After all, these beastly creatures did not deserve to die.
Looking at the golden wall before him, Zhong Tian's expression turned grim. He then said to Zhang Liang, "My Lord, it seems we may need to change our plans."
There was a hint of worry in his voice, and he obviously felt a little awkward about the situation.
Hearing his words, Zhang Liang nodded and said, "That's right, Zheng Shuangcheng is too greedy. If these things were distributed to the people, it would not be a riot, but a chaos."
"After all, money can move people's hearts. If this gold is used, fighting will definitely break out, and people will die. This is not what we want to see."
Zhang Liang said slowly, "Then we'll take all this gold!"
Hearing his words, Zhong Tian frowned, and then said: "But my lord, carrying so much gold will greatly slow down our progress."
His concerns were not unfounded. After all, carrying a large amount of property while escaping would indeed increase risks and inconveniences.
Zhang Liang nodded after hearing his words, and then said, "Of course I understand that, so I plan to split into two groups. One group will take the gold and leave secretly, and then we will quickly head towards the Nanman."
Zhong Tian pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Liang and his men began to move the gold.
