Outside the Castle Lord's Mansion.

Ah Whale accompanied Ah Yu to the side, and in just such a short time, the two became acquainted.

After all, one is Dongfang Shuo's blood contract, and the other is Dongfang Shuo's apprentice, and theoretically the two of them can be regarded as equals.

As for Yang Dongsheng, he stood with the envoy of the county guard, Yu Xiaoqing.

The reason why they are waiting here is also to be able to leave as soon as possible.

Although the old eunuch said that he would hand over the person within three days, it did not mean that he only needed to step on it. As the newly appointed city lord, Yang Dongsheng naturally couldn't slack off on the first task he received, if he didn't leave a bad impression on the empire, it wouldn't be a good thing.

But of course, this is purely Yang Dongsheng's overthinking.

The huge empire naturally wouldn't care about such a small border city.

"It's coming. ”

Suddenly, after Yang Dongsheng saw two figures on the road ahead, he immediately spoke, and then set off to meet him.

Seeing this, several other people also followed.

"So, is the city lord ready to let us go directly?" Dongfang Shuo asked.

Yang Dongsheng nodded: "From here to the county guard's mansion, it is a day and a night journey." But if you have enough time, you don't need to rush too much, even if you rush through slowly in three days, you should be in time. ”

Dongfang Shuo nodded.

As a result, the carriages and horses prepared by the city lord in advance also arrived one after another.

Then the lord of the city sent them to the gates of the city.

Dongfang Shuo raised his head, and the corner of the city tower that he had collapsed with a peach pit in the morning had been nailed with a wooden strip at this moment. It should be a few days before it was back to the way it was.

"In that case, City Lord Yang, let's leave it at that. ”

Dongfang Shuo said.

Yang Dongsheng immediately gave up his hand and said: "Before parting, Yang still has to thank Your Excellency Dongfang for rescuing the people of Yuewei City again." ”

If there is no Dongfang Shuo, there will be three families who will have to give up this time.

Even, ordinary children are useless, at least they need a little cultivation.

At this level of Yuwei City, all the children who have a little cultivation are the existence of the small families in the city, and they don't know how cruel it will be if they want to endure the pain of love.

"It's not much of a rescue, so there's no need to thank you. Dongfang Shuo shook his head, "However, if you really want to thank you, go and thank that kid." At this point, he suddenly looked left and right, "Speaking of which, I haven't heard that kid's voice since just now, and I haven't noticed it...... Where did he go?"

"Just now...... After he had said something to the city lord, he ran away from a path. ”

Ah Yu replied immediately.

Dongfang Shuo was stunned for a moment: "Ran away?"

Immediately, he looked in the direction of Yang Dongsheng.

Yang Dongsheng pursed his lips and said, "I just told him the cause and effect of that incident ten years ago, that's all." ”

"What is he going to do, worship his father?" Dongfang Shuo asked.

But Yang Dongsheng shook his head: "I don't know, but it shouldn't be possible to worship his father." Because his father had already been crushed and dusted by the people of the city, and there was no tomb. Moreover, the reason why he was spurned was also because of his father. ”

Dongfang Shuo frowned.

"If he's not going to defeat his father, where is he going?" he whispered.

Yang Dongsheng shook his head.

Then, Dongfang Shuo asked again: "So, what was the truth you told him ten years ago?"

"His father was a healer. Yang Dongsheng said, "But later, that guy treated a patient." ”

"Killed a sick person? How could it be? Could this be the reason why he became a sinner?" Dongfang Shuo was very confused for a while.

Yang Dongsheng shook his head and said, "If it's just like this, it won't make him a sinner." But it was the old city lord who he killed. That year, the old city lord went to the royal city to meet the emperor, and after coming back, he occasionally felt a cold, which was originally just a minor illness, but after calling the guy's father to open the prescription, the old city lord couldn't get out of bed the next day, and the old city lord died violently in bed on the third day. ”

Dongfang Shuo was shocked.

"This ......" he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

After a while, Yang Dongsheng said: "Later, when I personally went to search that guy's home, I found a pile of gold. A healer will never get a lot of gold in his life. ”

"You mean, he's actually taking money to do things for people?"

"He didn't defend himself until he died, so that's what it should be. ”

Yang Dongsheng said.

Dongfang Shuo touched his chin and asked again, "You only told him this?"

"Well, that's all. ”

Yang Dongsheng nodded.

After receiving such an answer, Dongfang Shuo couldn't help frowning.

If that's all there is to it, what information can be gleaned from it?

Where did that kid go after hearing all these things?

But at this moment, a figure quietly walked out of the city.

It was that teenager.

"I've kept you waiting, we can go now, right?" Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the young man seemed to have guessed that everyone had already known about what happened ten years ago, but he didn't say anything more.

Dongfang Shuo nodded, and everyone got into the carriage.

Dongfang Shuo sat in one with the boy, Ah Yu and Ah Jing sat in the other, and Yu Xiaoqing sat in the same carriage he came.

So, the group set out on the journey to the county guard's house.

"I guess you should have gone to avenge your father, right?"

Dongfang Shuo leaned back in the carriage, looked at the young man quietly, and asked.

The young man was stunned: "How do you know?"

"Guess, but now it seems that this should be the truth, right?" Dongfang Shuo's mouth hooked slightly.

Hearing this, the young man's face obviously showed a hint of surprise.

At the same time, he is now very sure that this guy in front of him is definitely not easy to deal with.

"How can you guess?" the boy asked.

Dongfang Shuo replied: "It's very simple. I saw a look of relief on your face. And you left after listening to the truth that Yang Dongsheng said ten years ago, which shows that it must be related to what happened ten years ago. To sum up, it should be a matter of course to guess the message of revenge, right?"

"You guy, it's a shame not to be a catcher. ”

"Catch it, I really haven't thought about it, maybe I really have a talent for it. ”

"Why are you so immodest?"

"Humility can be eaten?"

After a dialogue, the young man could only roll his eyes.

Then, the young man said: "But this is also true, I have avenged my father." ”

"So, do you think your father was wronged?" Dongfang Shuo asked.

The boy nodded.

Dongfang Shuo pursed his lips, and indeed he couldn't rule out such a possibility.

After all, if you really received money, how could you not hide it well, and it would be so easy to find out?

On the other hand, Yang Dongsheng also mentioned it just now, and his father did not deny it until he died. But although it is not denied, it does not mean that it is admitted. Perhaps, there is something unspeakable in this.

"Before he died, the old man had some words to me. "He said it was my father who had saved him." In addition, he also said that the culprit was the city lord, that is, the previous fat city lord. ”

"The culprit is the pig? What does that mean?"

Dongfang Shuo was puzzled.

The young man said: "Originally, when I heard this, I was also confused. But before I could ask more, the old man died, so I never figured it out. But today, Yang Dongsheng told me what happened ten years ago, and I just understood. ”

"What do you understand?"

"My dad used to be the best traveling doctor in several surrounding cities, although he didn't hang pots to help the world, but he never treated diseases for money. The fact that he saved the old man is the best proof of this. So, although I haven't met my father, I think that people like him at least don't kill people for money. ”

At this point, the young man paused, and then continued, "But because of this, it is no accident that the pile of gold appeared in my house. If the old city lord dies, the new city lord can naturally succeed to the throne, and as long as the pile of gold is used to harm the old man, then there will definitely be no one to guess the death of the old city lord on the head of the new city lord. ”

"And that pile of gold is going around and around, and it will still return to the new city lord's pocket after the search?" Dongfang Shuo narrowed his eyes and said, "So, the old beggar who knows the truth of that matter will say that to you before he dies, right?"

"That's right. ”

The boy nodded.

Dongfang Shuo looked at him and asked, "But the pig is dead, you said you took revenge, what did you do just now?"

As soon as this question came out, a trace of cruel cunning inexplicably flashed in the eyes of the young man looking at him.

Even if the other party didn't speak, Dongfang Shuo vaguely guessed something.

"You're not going to dig him up and whip him, are you?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

The boy shook his head.

"Of course not. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the corners of his mouth hooked up in a frenzy, and he continued, "That's too cheap for him." ”

"And what did you do?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

Ren Jun imagined. ”

"Who wants to think about this kind of thing?" Dongfang Shuo stopped, "Forget it, I won't ask, just be happy." ”

As soon as the words fell, the smile on the young man's face suddenly froze, and then slowly fell.

"Happy...... Is it?"

The boy smiled bitterly.

Dongfang Shuo looked at the young man and stopped talking.

After a while, the young man said, "No matter what I have done or what means I have used to take revenge, it will only be a momentary pleasure. Those who die will never come back. ”

Dongfang Shuo suddenly hugged his neck, and then clamped it hard, so that he almost didn't catch his breath.

"What are you doing?"

The teenager was thunderous.

"Why do you want to do so much, it's over, just be happy, I'm going to take you to make a lot of money soon!" Dongfang Shuo said.

The boy smiled and said no more.

Seeing this, Dongfang Shuo was a little relieved, but in his heart, there was a little more doubt at the moment.

Although the boy's inferences are nine out of ten invulnerable.

But the remaining one percent, if you think about it carefully, also has a huge loophole.

With that pig's means, how could it be possible to let a martial arts powerhouse die violently in just two days, and no one would notice it?

Or rather...... The old city lord's illness at that time, was it really just a cold?
