Chapter 18: Truth I

Everything was ready, and the official at the head was holding a torch, looking at Ouyang Xian, waiting for Ouyang Xuan's order. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ru Yan walked over, took the torch, and handed it to Ouyang Yan, "Brother Ouyang, you and your brother, say goodbye today, and I don't know where you can talk about wine and hemp together, and worship the world with tea, you have the right to send your brother on the last journey!" ”

Ouyang Yi nodded in a complicated mood and took the torch.

The fire gradually engulfed the young man's beautiful face.

The audience was silent, and after the salute, Ouyang Yan walked over to Ru Yan and seemed to have something to say to him.

"Brother Ouyang, I and Xue Xue have prepared to transcribe some scriptures for my brother and burn them to him to comfort his soul in the sky, Brother Ouyang would like to come and transcribe them with us?" Ru Yan said to Ouyang Xian.

"I ......".

"Brother Ouyang, do you have something to do?"

Ouyang Yi was silent, as if he was unable to speak.

"Ru Yan, I'm afraid Lord Ouyang has an order from above, and he wants to rush back to his fate!" Snow reminder arrived.

Ouyang Yi once again thanked this smart and understanding girl.

"Yes!" , Ru Yan wiped her tears sadly, "Brother Ouyang has already worked hard for this matter and risked disobeying orders, how can I bother again!" ”

"When will Uncle Chen arrive?" Ru Yan turned around and asked about the snowfall.

"Depending on the situation, I'm afraid I'm going to go tomorrow morning!" Snow answers.

"Brother Ouyang, you better rectify first and go back to your fate, we will wait until Uncle Chen arrives tomorrow morning, and then go back to western Yunnan together. If...... If Hu Wan is still hiding in this village, even if I try my best, I will keep my brother's ashes coffin intact! ”

After Ru Yan said this, tears fell down her eyes.

"How is this good, it just so happens that Xuanshuang and the others also went to the town to buy medicine, and it is indeed not appropriate to leave us two defenseless weak women in the village. Master and Lord Wang were killed one after another, indicating that this Hu Wan may still linger in this village and has never left! "Snowfall added.

Ru Yan glanced at Ouyang Yi from the corner of her eye, only to see that he was embarrassed and ashamed.

"Lord Ouyang, I have a way, I don't know if it's feasible!" Snow said.

"Snowfall girl, please!" Ouyang Yi was like seeing a life-saving straw.

"Lord Ouyang, it's better to send Lord Wang Chong back first to restore his life and explain the situation here. There have been several court officials who have died at the hands of Hu Wan, if these bullies are not eliminated, the people will not be able to make a living, if Lord Ouyang can eliminate the harm for the people, I believe that not only the court will be rewarded, but even the people will love it. ”

The words of snowfall were true, and Ouyang Yi also saw the situation and went down the ladder and did as she said.

At the fifth watch, Ouyang Yi was awakened by a burst of crying. It was expected that Uncle Chen arrived, so he got up in his clothes.

The candles of Yiyun Hall are bright, Ru Yan, Snowfall, Zifeng, and Chen Bo are all there, and there are also two nursing homes of Chen Mansion.

Uncle Chen hugged Chen Ruyan's ashes altar and cried bitterly, and the people next to him took turns to comfort him.

Ouyang Yi walked over, and Uncle Chen took his hand and cried even more sadly, "Lord Ouyang, it's all useless to me, I'm sorry master, the Chen family's incense is broken like this!" ”

"Uncle Chen, you mourn!" Ouyang Yi comforted.

"Uncle Chen, thanks to Brother Ouyang's help during this time, with Brother Ouyang and his brother's friendship, Brother Ouyang will definitely not let go of his brother's murderer, and he will definitely avenge his brother!" Ru Yan said to Ouyang Yan again: "Brother Ouyang, do you say yes?" “

"That's nature!" , Ouyang Yi replied, "Last night, the pillar got the news from the informant, and the town under the village has found Hu Wan's traces, and the pillar has also brought people to the town, and I am ready to go to support this morning!" I believe that Hu Wan will not be able to run away this time, and I will definitely kill Hu Wan to avenge your blood hatred! ”

"That's good news, of course!" Ru Yan said: "It's just that Brother Ouyang himself has to take care of himself!" ”

"Take care!" Ouyang Yi arched his hands and prepared to leave.

"Wait!" When leaving, Ru Yan stopped Ouyang Yan again, "Ru Yan has something to give to Brother Ouyang, please go to the backyard with me to pick it up!" ”

Ouyang Yi Zheng, feeling a little bad.

"It doesn't take much time!" Ru Yan said.

"That's good!" Ouyang Yan pretended to smile and followed Ru Yan towards the backyard.

When I entered the door, I saw that Zifeng was also following, but when I wanted to come in, I was blocked by Ru Yan, "I want to have a good talk with Brother Ouyang alone!" ”

The tone of the three words "let's talk" seemed to have a murderous aura, and Ouyang Yi was a little stunned when he heard it, and his heart became even more uneasy.

"Brother Ouyang, please take a seat!" Ru Yan said as she leisurely brewed a cup of tea and put it in front of Ouyang Xian, "Longjing before the rain, please taste it, this is what Zifeng took from Lord Wang, Lord Wang, what a tasteful gentleman!" ”

Ouyang Yi looked inexplicable, "You can drink tea anytime, but at this moment, Hu Wan is in the town under the wall, and it is ...... late."

"Brother Ouyang just said where Hu Wan is?"

"In the town under the wall, Ru Yan, what's wrong with you?" Ouyang Yi asked.

"No, Hu Wan has already arrived at the Hades Palace, right?"

"What do you mean?"

Ru Yan didn't answer directly, but just took out a carved wooden doll and handed it to Ouyang Yi.

"What is this?" Ouyang Yi asked.

"This is the birthday gift that Xiao Bolt gave to his brother Zhuzi, which is what Wang Lidu said fell on him when his superiors gave him orders."

"I don't understand what you mean!" Ouyang Yi said.

"When Wang Lidu died, he could not say what the murderer had fallen on him and where he had placed it. But his hand pointed to the second drawer of the desk, at that time, I'm afraid Brother Ouyang, you were too flustered, and you even missed such an important detail. Afterwards, we went to see it again, and Wang Lidu probably expected that he would be killed, so he had already written a letter and put it in the second drawer, which clearly stated where the murderer's things were placed!

"Hahahaha, so you know it all?" Ouyang Yi threw away the wooden doll and laughed.

Ru Yan picked up the wooden doll on the ground and carefully blew the ashes, "No, I was just suspicious at first, but I really confirmed it just now." In fact, I don't know what Wang Lidu said about what fell, and when Wang Lidu died, his hand didn't point to any drawer at all. But I guess that if the person behind Wang Lidu is really you, with your cautious character, you are afraid that Wang Lidu will recognize you, and you should not go out in person, and you should send your most trusted pillar. Also, this woodcut doll was just carved out of Xuanshuang when she was bored. ”

"You...... Is...... Cunning! ”

Ru Yan took a pout, "Compared with Brother Ouyang, the class has an axe!" Brother Ouyang, don't you want to know how I started to suspect you? ”

"It's just salvaged from Ru Yan's body, right?"

"No, no, no, it's much earlier than that!"

"When?"

"I was a little suspicious when the master died!"

"What does the master's death have to do with me, isn't the murderer Wang Lidu?"

"Before, some people speculated that the master was killed by Wang Lidu, but this is impossible. Because Wang Lidu couldn't be stupid enough to kill people in his own room and in his own presence if he wanted to kill someone, and Wang Lidu was really frightened at that time, his expression at that time didn't look like he was pretending. ”

"That's Hu Wan!"

"Hu Wan is even more impossible, Hu Wan has no motive to kill the master at all. Once the collusion between officials and bandits is exposed, it is the officials, not the bandits, who should be worried. There was no need for him to risk his life to sneak into a stockade full of officers and soldiers and kill a little master. ”

"Then there is no evidence that the master was killed by me, I was with you at the time, I have alibi evidence!"

"Of course, I didn't say that you killed the master? Because the master was killed by a pillar, Wang Lidu was also killed by a pillar! ”

"When Wang Lidu died, Zhu Zi and Xuan Shuang were chasing the murderer together!"

"It should be said that the culprit is back together!"

"Is there a difference?"

"Of course there is, this means that the pillar is not chasing the murderer at all, but just walked back with Xuanshuang. If I'm not mistaken, the martial arts of the pillar are very good, especially the light skills. Even Xuanshuang can't catch up. His light skills are so good that he can completely escape and sneak into the room to change clothes. It was he who returned to the murder scene with Xuan Shuang at that time, even if there were traces of Xuan Shuang's scratches on his back, he could not participate in Yiyuntang's stripping examination! ”

"Don't forget, the place where Xuanshuang touched the pillar was not close to the stable, and even if he didn't get to the stable, he couldn't get to the stable, undress, and then come back out of the room. After all, there was only one way to the stable, and he would inevitably be bumped into by Xuanshuang. ”

"That's right, that's because he didn't go to the stable, but ran straight into the room, and the clothes in the stable, which you prepared and put there!"

"Okay, although the pillar is my person, even if the master and Wang Lidu were both killed by the pillar, it can't be proved that I ordered the pillar, right?"

"Don't worry, there are still some mistakes in what I said just now, in fact, Wang Lidu was killed by you!"

"How is this possible?"

"After examining Wang Lidu's body that day, Xue told me that Wang Lidu did not actually die of the plum blossom mark, but died of external force that shattered his heart. The plum blossom mark on the pillar was blocked by Xuanshuang, and it was deflected, not enough to be fatal. You were afraid that Wang Lidu would tell what the murderer had left behind, and you were holding Wang Lidu at the time, but in fact, your right hand was secretly performing behind his back, shattering his heart. You can kill Hu Wan, a well-known bandit on the rivers and lakes, and with your skills, just one Wang Lidu is naturally not a problem. Brother Ouyang, do you think I'm right? ”

"How do you know that Hu Wan is dead?"

"The floating corpse is not a blacksmith at all, and you found that woman. The snowfall told me that it is the same hand that often holds a knife, and that a blacksmith is different from a swordsman. The blacksmith is basically in a position when he strikes the knife, with only one trace. However, the swordsman is different, so that the sword moves will change, so there will not be only one trace. Moreover, if it is a blacksmith's hand, there will usually be a small scar left by the spark splashing on it. But the floating corpse didn't. What's more, if it was really a blacksmith and died at the hands of Hu Wan, there was no need for Hu Wan to kill him and scratch his face! ”

"And how do you conclude that I killed it? Hu Wan's martial arts are all famous in the rivers and lakes, how could he be killed by me so easily? ”

Of course, Hu Wan is not a vegetarian, and the main reason why the world is afraid of Hu Wan is that the swallow village is terrifying. If I'm not mistaken, you were pretending to be the messenger of the master and Hu Wan at the time, and then took advantage of his unpreparedness, of course, Hu Wan also resisted, so he will have the scars of the fight. Moreover, he also hurt you, it seems that this Hu Wan is really not a false name. That day I saw the plug take your clothes and wash them, and from the blood on your clothes, your wounds were also inflamed and drained with pus. It's really hard for you, in order to cover up the wound, you wear so much on a hot day, I think, this is also one of the reasons why you are in a hurry to leave, right? ”

Ouyang Yan didn't speak, just stared at the window.
