There is a hotel on the side of the road in the suburbs outside the West Gate of Yishui County, which was operated by Zhu Fu in the past, and since Zhu Fu went to Gujiazhuang, this hotel was handed over to his cousin and nephew.

Let's say that after Gu Haotian listened to Zhang Wenyuan's words that day, he took Zhu Gui, Shi Qian, Bian Xiang and others and six or seven guards to rush over to Yizhou. Zhu Gui is a native of Yishui County, and Yishui is located in a mountainous area and is relatively poor, so the group first went to Yishui County to explore the truth, that is, they arrived here last night and stayed in Zhu Gui's nephew's shop.

Early in the morning, everyone washed up and ate breakfast in the lobby, although this shop is located on the side of the road, there are many pedestrians in the past, but most of them are poor people in the countryside, and few people come in to eat, no wonder Zhu Fu said that business is average.

"Man, what do you have to eat?"

At this moment, a swarthy man came in from outside the door, and I saw him with a double axe at his waist and a fierce look.

"I have steamed buns, wotou, white porridge, yellow porridge, and all kinds of side dishes here, what do you want from the guest officer?"

"Steamed buns, nest heads, white porridge, side dishes, just come up, and pay you back the money with one less carving."

The man ordered a bunch of mountain-like food, but it only took a moment to eat it clean, but when it was time to settle the bill, Fang found that he was penniless, so he had no choice but to take credit with a thick face.

"The guest officer is so unreasonable, I know where you are, where you go, when you will return, but tell me where to collect the bills, if the guests are like you, this store will close early." The guy was willing to give a living man credit.

"What kind of do you say, when do you owe money to someone, and put these axes against you, and come back to redeem them in the future." With that, the man took two axes from his waist and threw them on the table.

"I have never opened an armory shop, so what is the use of this axe?" That guy is also unforgiving.

"Yikes! Yikes! You birdman, you are so patient, I swept your bird shop out of the bird, see what you can do with me. "The iron ox picks up the axe and is about to move.

"This brother is slow." Gu Haotian saw that something was about to happen, and hurriedly stopped it.

"you." The head of the iron bull did not return, but raised his axe to cut down on the table.

At this time, he found that a pair of wrists were being held, and he couldn't move like an iron hoop. It turned out that Bian Xiang saw that he was going to be rude, so he had already bullied him to the side to restrain him. The iron bull was also conceited, how could he give in, so he struggled hard, but the two of them fought in the lobby like bullfights.

After about a quarter of an hour, the iron bull couldn't get rid of Bian Xiang's hands, and he was secretly frightened. Gu Hao Tianyuan also wanted to explore the bottom of the iron bull, and now that the fire was almost over, he shouted to Bian Xiang to stop.

Bian Xiang let go of his hands and took a step back, and secretly praised this man for his good strength. When did the iron bull suffer such a loss, but now his hands are free, and he has to pounce on him with a double axe.

"Brother Li Kui, don't do it yet." Gu Haotian snorted.

"Li Kui," the iron bull muttered to himself, stunned for a moment.

"How do you know my name?" He turned around and looked at Gu Haotian.

Gu Haotian was overjoyed when he saw this, and it was really this fool.

"I heard from a friend on the road that there is a good man who is used to using double axes in Baizhang Village, Yishui County, named Li Kui, and when I saw this weapon and skills today, I thought it was you." In fact, looking at the pair of plate axes just now, and calling himself an iron bull, Gu Haotian knew it in his heart.

Li Kui didn't know when he had such a reputation on the road, but when he saw that the few people in front of him seemed to have no malicious intent, he was invited to come and sit together.

Everyone exchanged names, Gu Haotian turned around and asked the guy to serve a table of good wine and food, and ordered Li Kui's expenses just now to be counted here. Li Kui saw that this little official was dignified, and he was a little grateful in his heart. He was originally an upright person, and in the original trajectory, he was captured by Song Jiang in Jiangzhou for ten taels of silver and served him for a lifetime.

After a few glasses of wine and food, everyone had nothing to say, and Bian Xiang and Li Kui didn't know each other, and they fell in love. After about half an hour, the wine was drunk for five or six minutes, and Li Kui suddenly got up and said goodbye.

"Everyone is just lively, why do brothers suddenly want to go?" Bian Xiang was very strange.

"I killed someone in Dongdian last night, I don't go at this time, if the government finds me at that time, I am afraid that it will affect all the brothers." Li Kui hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.

"Why did my brother kill?"

Gu Haotian knew that Li Kui was also a killer and wandered the rivers and lakes, and later became a cell leader under Dai Zong, so he was a little curious. immediately asked the men to move the wine and food into the room, and asked Zhu Gui to send someone to the city gate to inquire about the news.

Li Kui saw that Gu Haotian was thinking about him everywhere, and he no longer had scruples, and after sitting down in the room, he talked about what happened recently.

At this point, Gu Haotian finally understood why in the original trajectory, Li Kui was unmarried and couldn't get along with women everywhere, which must be the psychological shadow left by this incident. But when I think about what he said, I feel that it is wrong, there are too many flaws in it, and this foolish thing seems to have been calculated.

"Brother, you said that Cui Gu was greedy for wealth and turned her back on you, she said it herself." Gu Haotian asked.

"Not really, but it was his father's own mouth."

"According to what you said, his father didn't like your relationship either, but Aunt Cui had a true affection for you, and you think what his father said is somewhat credible." Gu Haotian asked again.

"......" Li Kui was speechless for a while.

"When you go to Aunt Cui's house to take care of things, you can inquire with your neighbors about those days." Gu Haotian asked again.

"Could it be that I lost Aunt Cui'......"

Li Kui's heart was already shaken at this time. I saw that he got up and was about to go out.

"Where is my brother going now?" Gu Haotian hurriedly shouted to stop him.

"I'll rush to Nadongdian Village and ask Aunt Cui in person, otherwise I won't be at ease for the rest of my life."

"Now that you have passed, not only are you looking for death, but you are afraid that you will also harm Aunt Cui."

"How is it good for a petty official to call me?"

Then Li Kui didn't go or stay, and he was extremely distressed for a while.

"Brother Li Kui just have peace of mind, and I will only understand with you tonight."

"Is the little official serious?"

"Naturally, there is no fake."

"If I can give Aunt Cui and me a clean slate, my life will be a petty official from now on." Then Li Kui went to Gu Haotian and pounced.

Gu Haotian helped him up and asked some details, thinking that it was four or five hours long for Yishui to travel from Nadongdian, and if he left at night, it would be difficult to do things tonight. I also thought that it would take four or five hours for Mrs. Dong to report to the county seat, even if he set off in the morning, he must still be on the road at this moment. At the moment, he said his plan, and everyone had no objection, so they only asked Li Kui to put away the board axe, dress up a little, and then go to Dongdian along the trail.

It wasn't until dusk that they arrived at Yiling, and everyone rested in the middle of the mountain. Li Kui said that the road to the north six or seven miles is Dongdian, Gu Haotian instructed Shi Qian to go to explore the truth first, and the rest of the people ate some dry food, and will take action in the evening.

But it was said that Dongdian Dong's Mansion was extremely messy this day. While sending people to track down the murderer, he sent people to the county government to report to the officials, and arranged for people to deal with the aftermath of the deceased.

Around the end of the day, Gu Haotian and others quietly infiltrated Dongdian Village, and Shi Qian came over to meet as promised.

"The little official's Dong Mansion is very noisy now, I just went in, and I have already found out the truth, the Cui Gu that Li Kui's brother said is still in the west wing of the backyard, but her limbs are tied......"

Before Shi Qian finished speaking, Li Kui already understood that he had wronged that Cui Gu, if it weren't for Gu Haotian's suppression, he was afraid that he would have to go in to save people immediately.

"It's just a little strange," Shi Qian continued, "that Mrs. Dong was sad beside his son's corpse, and suddenly a housekeeper-like person came in and whispered a few words to him, and he got up and went away, thinking that there was something more important than the death of his son, so I followed curiously, but I saw that Mrs. Dong was in the study, looking at a letter from the housekeeper, and never came out again." ”

The death of his son is no longer worth a letter, Gu Haotian is also curious when he hears it, but anyway, he is here tonight, and he will act when he meets the opportunity. Another hour passed, Gu Haotian, Bian Xiang, and Li Kui climbed over the wall in the backyard under the guidance of Shi Qian, leaving only Zhu Gui and the team members to answer outside.

Shi Qian has already come, the light car is familiar with the road and chooses a secluded road to walk, only a while to sneak to Cuigu's yard, but saw two sturdy servants standing at the gate of the courtyard, Li Kui was about to stand up, but was held by Gu Haotian, and then Shi Qian sneaked over, I don't know what means, only for a while the two servants fell to the ground softly, a few people went over together, saw that there was a maid in the room, Bian Xiang only slapped his shins, and fell to the ground unconscious.

Let's say that Aunt Cui was already desperate, but suddenly saw Li Kui appear in front of her, she was very surprised, and her nerves, which had been tense for a few days, relaxed suddenly, and she fainted with just a shout of "Brother Tie Niu".

"Aunt Cui!" Li Kui was shocked when he saw this.

"Don't panic, it's just overthinking, it doesn't matter, hurry up and recite it and make sense." Gu Haotian knew it in his heart.

Li Kui picked up Cuigu on his back, and several people quietly retreated along the way they came. Na Cui Gu woke up after only a few mouthfuls of water, hugged Li Kui and cried for a while, and then intermittently said what had happened.

"Star Roselle, the whore of birds, if I don't cut her into two pieces today, I won't stop." After speaking, he picked up Cuigu and lived in Baizhang Village.

Gu Haotian hurriedly asked Zhu Gui to take the guards with him, thinking about it, he was afraid that Li Kui would go crazy and he couldn't control it, so he asked Bian Shen to follow, and the two sides agreed to meet tomorrow in Zhu Guitang's nephew's store outside the West Gate of Yishui County.

But said that the star Taohong heard that Dong Wude was killed by Tie Niu in the morning, and his heart was immediately frightened, and he wanted to escape to avoid the limelight, but he could hear that Dong Fu's family who came to arrest Tie Niu said that he had escaped, so he settled down, and he didn't want to be cut off by Li Kui in the middle of the night.

That Li Kui was so strong that he was like a mad tiger, and he turned around and entered Cuigu's house, bumping into Dong Shoucai head-on, and before he could open his mouth, he had already cut down with an axe, and Cuigu saw it screaming loudly behind him, Bian Xiang hurriedly stepped forward to restrain it, otherwise he was afraid that Feng would also eat that axe.

"Brother Tie Niu, why did you kill my father so ruthlessly." After all, Aunt Cui was father and daughter, beating Li Kui and crying.

"Such a dirty father, only push you into the fire pit, and treat you as a daughter when you don't want to." Li Kui was sober at this time, but he didn't have much remorse.

"Son, your father is also a sin of his own making, and it is up to him to do it." Feng also hated this old man for causing several families to die, so he persuaded his daughter.

When Zhu Gui saw that he was already a son, he asked Aunt Cui and her daughter to put away the softness, and then went to Li Kui's house to call the old lady and Li Da and his wife, and the group went to Yishui County overnight.

Adults from Baizhang Village to Yishui have to walk for eight or nine hours, and women and children walk at night, Zhu Gui thought that if he couldn't catch up at dawn, it would be troublesome at that time. Fortunately, he was a local and knew that there was a Yishui River nearby, so he asked a few team members to look for boats along the river. With good luck, he found a fishing boat by the river, Zhu Gui spent a lot of money to hire it, and asked Bian Xiang to take the team members by land, and he took the two families down the river by boat.

said that it took a while for the Dong Mansion to find that Aunt Cui was gone, and it was another riot, and the old lady Dong had no choice but to come out to deal with it, and Shi Qian waited for this opportunity, took the opportunity to take the letter and left quietly.
