1172 Inexplicably Taking the Blame (1)
“Tian Hongcheng, get out here! You had the guts to get someone to cripple my son and even made him crazy, but you don’t have the guts to come out and admit it. To think you were once the head of the Tian family!”
The leader of the Long family led more than thirty people and blocked the entrance of the Octagon Auction House, roaring angrily inside with anger in his eyes.
Because he used his internal energy to transmit it, everyone within a hundred meters could hear him clearly.
There were already many people crowding outside the Octagon Auction House to watch the show. Now that Patriarch Long said this, it immediately attracted a large group of people to watch the show.
“Tian Hongcheng, come out! Tian Hongcheng, come out!”
As soon as Patriarch Long finished speaking, the people he brought immediately shouted loudly.
The shouts were almost deafening.
Zuo Wei, who quickly came out after hearing the commotion, looked at the members of the Long family who were obviously here to cause trouble, and his expression instantly darkened.
“Patriarch Long, why did you bring so many people to my place to make a fuss?”
Zuo Wei walked to the entrance and said to the patriarch of the Long family with a cold expression, “Could it be that your Long family wants to make an enemy of the Octagon Sect?”
Patriarch Long’s expression changed slightly, but when he thought of how the Octagon Sect had been facing quite a bit of problems recently, the scruples in his mind faded a bit.
“Manager Zuo, you’ve misunderstood. I brought people here just to seek justice for my eldest son.” As he spoke, Patriarch Long glanced into the auction house.
“Not only was my son’s cultivation of many years crippled by the criminals, but he was also made crazy. As his father and the leader of the Long family, I naturally have to seek justice for him. Steward Zuo, please make it easy for us and hand over that crazy criminal, Tian Hongcheng.”
Zuo Wei frowned and sized up Patriarch Long’s face. After confirming that he didn’t seem to be lying, he said, “I wonder when did the unfortunate incident happen to Patriarch Long’s eldest son?”
If Tian Hongcheng had injured the man earlier, the Long family wouldn’t have let Tian Hongcheng and the others walk out of Hongming City.
In other words, the eldest son of the Long family was severely injured after Tian Hongcheng arrived in Haichuan City.
But that wasn’t right either. After all, ever since Tian Hongcheng and the others came to him, apart from Lu Zijia and Mu Tianyan, Tian Hongcheng and his son had been staying obediently in the backyard of the auction house. They couldn’t possibly go out and hurt anyone at all.
So, there must be a misunderstanding.
Even though he wasn’t afraid of the Long family, with the current situation of the Octagon Sect, he didn’t want to provoke an enemy for no reason.
“This morning!”
Patriarch Long didn’t want to fall out with the left guard either. Although he was impatient in his mind, he still replied patiently.
Zuo Wei smiled when he heard that. “Patriarch Long, I’m afraid you’ve misunderstood. Brother Tian hasn’t left the house since he came here. How could he possibly have a conflict with your eldest son? Everyone in the Octagon Auction House can prove this, including me.”
What Zuo Wei said was obviously a guarantee for Tian Hongcheng.
However, not only did the patriarch’s expression not improve, but it also became even gloomier.
“Tian Hongcheng found someone to seriously injure my son. He certainly doesn’t need to walk out of your Octagon Auction House.”
Patriarch Long’s tone was cold. “Steward Zuo, in order to avoid hurting the harmony, you should hand him over!”
Patriarch Long’s attitude was unyielding. Clearly, he wanted to force Tian Hongcheng out.
Zuo Wei’s expression also darkened a bit, and his tone was no longer as gentle as before. “Patriarch Long, as the saying goes, catch a thief and you’ll see the loot. You have no evidence right now. Aren’t you acting a little too overbearing? How can you just say that Brother Tian seriously injured your son?”
