Chapter 228: Public Display
Previously, Tie Wandao's men were tracking down Han Song's whereabouts, so Tie Jinjue tried to hide Han Song for a while. Unexpectedly, Han Song suddenly fell ill the day before yesterday and couldn't stop coughing for a long time. There were some people coming and going outside the place where he was hiding. Therefore, in order to prevent him from being discovered and killed, Tie Jinjue decided to temporarily transfer him to a place in Tiecangting where there were few people. Usually no one entered the Muxi Pavilion, and there was a basement inside that very few people knew about. He transferred Han Song to the basement of the Muxi Pavilion, and waited for an opportunity to send him out of Tiecangting to save his life. Unexpectedly, Dong Su, a subordinate of Tie Wandao, happened to enter the Muxi Pavilion, which no one usually entered, to monitor the two children, and found Han Song and killed him.
In fact, before Han Song was transferred to Muxi Pavilion, Tie Wandao's men had searched Muxi Pavilion. They didn't find him that time, and no one suggested looking there again afterwards. So it was a coincidence that Dong Su was able to kill Han Song in Muxi Pavilion.
"My original intention was to do good for him, but I still couldn't save his life!" Tie Jinjue sighed.
"Elder Tie, when are we going to start looking for the next volume of the Tiecang Secret Book?" Qin Ding asked.
Tie Jinjue shook his head and said, "I won't look for it now, and I may not look for it in the future. If I still need to look for it in the future, I will tell you when the time comes."
Qin Ding was a little surprised when he heard this: "Is it possible that they won't look for him anymore? Is it related to the death of Wu Bu and Han Song?"
"I won't give up so easily. If I give up because of their death, I will be even more sorry for them! We must continue our work! I am already working on another plan, which I can do alone for now. In case this plan fails, I will need to continue looking for the next chapter in the future. So I hope I won't have to look for the next chapter forever." Tie Jinjue's eyes turned from sadness to determination.
At noon that day, the people present saw a corpse lying on a vacant lot in Tiecangting - it was Han Song's. This corpse was taken away from Muxi Pavilion by Tie Wandao's men, so that he could use this corpse to restore his so-called dignity in front of everyone.
Tie Wandao said in front of the four elders and everyone: "This is the blue-armored man who escaped that day. He has been killed by my men. I will have my men cut up his body and throw it into the ditch in a while. Everyone should understand that if the person I want to capture does not try to escape, he can be burned directly with his body intact. If he is ignorant and insists on resisting, this will be his fate!"
The four elders looked at the corpse, then looked at Tie Wandao. Now no one could laugh at Tie Wandao for the escape of a blue-armored man.
Elders Nie Huihou, Tian Sha, and Lian Boyuan all thought Tie Wandao's words were normal, as if dismembering a blue-armored man's body and throwing it into a ditch was like coughing, which was not a big deal at all. Tie Jinjue was naturally in a heavy mood, but he couldn't let others see it, so he acted as if nothing had happened, and there was nothing unusual about him compared to the other three elders.
After Tie Wandao finished speaking, he asked several of his men to lift Han Song's body and walk towards the ditch.
At that time, Tie Hongyan and Wu Xunsheng had just finished practicing martial arts and were walking towards Ao Qian Palace. When they passed by the place, they happened to see the corpse and heard Tie Wandao's words.
