PWDLAW Chapter 324: A Good Knife

 Chapter 324: A Good Knife

"Looking for me? Chu Heng, you brought a woman into the academy. Even finding me won't erase that fact." Tang Chuan couldn't help but taunt Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue asked, "Is what Tang Chuan said true?"

"Yes, my wife and daughter came to the county to bring me lunch." Chu Heng nodded.

Zhang Yue said, "Seeing that you've already had your meal, rest well. There's another exam in the afternoon. You performed well this time and the dean holds high expectations for you."

"Thank you for the dean's praise." Chu Heng replied.

Zhang Yue didn't stay long. Tang Chuan was already dumbfounded by the different treatment from the dean. Last time, he was directly demoted!

He didn't even see Tang Rou once at the door but now Chu Heng had brought two women and the dean neither reprimanded him nor asked many questions.

"Where are you going?" Chu Heng's gaze turned cold.

Tang Chuan shivered, gathering courage as he glared, "What do you want?"

"Want to know where Tang Rou is?"

"What? Do you know where Tang Rou is?" Tang Chuan looked at him warily but cursed Tang Rou countless times in his heart. How dare she steal the family's money and run away? If he didn't always keep the money somewhere other than on his person, he might not even afford to study books.

"In the alley behind North Street." Chu Heng said.

"Why are you telling me?" Tang Chuan eyed Chu Heng with suspicion.

"Do you hate Tang Rou? I do too. Whether you want to believe it or not is up to you." Chu Heng hadn't had the chance to tell Ye Muyu yet but the news was indeed related to Tang Rou.

Tang Rou had killed someone and fled overnight.

The person sent by Xie Yu to find her had been searching without success. They could only roughly determine the area where she was but they couldn't locate her. This made Chu Heng more certain that the other party had many secrets.

And these secrets seemed somewhat similar to his own.

From the mouths of those on North Street, Chu Heng learned that Tang Rou actually knew them and even knew about things that hadn't happened yet. Although the traces she revealed were few, to Xie Yu it seemed shocking and unusual. Those things were events that would happen in the future.

For example, those big men from North Street, they would join the military in the future and now they were in contact with a retired soldier they knew.

These big men had just had the idea, and coupled with their identity as fugitives, it was kept very secret. Even the idea had just occurred to them and Tang Rou accurately predicted it.

The one who would betray Xiongyong Army in the future, causing the defeat at Luoping Pass, leading to General Shen's military authority being revoked, being trapped in the capital and ultimately dying in an accident, was indeed revealed by North Street. The big man named Zheng Xiao, who had died on North Street, was the fuse for the decline of the general's mansion.

He already knew that Tang Rou wasn't an ordinary person. Letting her approach Zheng Xiao to probe for the other party's secrets and wanting to use Tang Rou's hand to deal with Zheng Xiao were all part of his plan.

Both of them were not good people and if something happened to either of them, it would be a good thing for him.

Now, it seemed that Zheng Xiao had fallen into Tang Rou's hands?

Chu Heng squinted his eyes, feeling more and more that Tang Rou was a variable. This variable, if used well might help him save the loyal ministers from his past life and at the same time, eliminate the treacherous officials. If used properly, she could indeed be a good knife.

"Do you want to know what I'm going to do?" Chu Heng's gaze became colder.

"What do you want to do?" Tang Chuan stared at him, full of caution.

"Want to use you to get close to Tang Rou? It seems appropriate."

Seeing Tang Chuan leaving, Chu Heng recalled his gaze and turned back into the courtyard.
