Chapter 52: The Two Apprentices Want to Follow the Master

"I do, too!" Xue Qi also echoed on the side.

"You two ......," Zhao Rou looked at the two of them, "I have to ask Si Cheng what is going on before making a decision." ”

Fang You nodded, "Without further ado, let's go to the master now, I hope he is still in the inn at this time." ”

The four of them hurriedly found the inn where Ji Xiu was, and happened to meet Ji Xiu who was about to go out, so they hurriedly stopped him.

"Master......" Fang You looked at Ji Xiu, then lowered his head and hesitated.

"You all know?" Ji Xiu's tone was still the same as when he talked to them before, "Say whatever you want, you don't have to hide it like this in front of me." ”

Hearing Master's words, Fang You raised his head and said, "Master, do you have anything to do with Meng Yang and Meng Chang?" ”

Ji Xiu nodded very indifferently, it seemed that Fang You knew this matter for granted, "Ah You, you are a smart child, you must have guessed what I want to do, and I won't hide it from you, after listening to me, I will not force you to decide what you want." Ji Xiu glanced at everyone, and then continued, his tone was so calm that he couldn't believe that he was talking about his own business, "The three cases in the capital were all done by me before, in order to avenge your master." I am also the one who made Meng Chang the connector and came to Huaiyan to get the silver. ”

When Fang You heard Ji Xiu's words, she was not shocked, but felt that a stone in her heart had fallen to the ground, because what she was most afraid of was that Ji Xiu was unwilling to tell them these things, not anything else.

"I heard Ah Hui say that Master and Yu Zhengfeng are brothers, does Master know about Yu Zhengfeng's early years in Fengping County?" Fang You asked.

"Although I met him later, Senior Brother Yu told me about it." Ji Xiudao.

"Is that red dream incense a loan from Master Yu to Master?"

"That's right."

Asking this, Fang You finally figured out the details of the previous matters, but there was still one thing that had to be asked carefully, "Does Master know if Meng Chang has ever gone to Uncle Yu and asked him to help kill someone?" ”

Ji Xiu seemed to be thinking about something, "Meng Chang often asks Senior Brother Yu to do this kind of thing, I don't know which one you are talking about?" ”

"It's my mother......" Xue Qi said behind him.

Ji Xiu looked at Xue Qi with some surprise, "When did it happen?" How so? ”

Fang You told Ji Xiu all about the murder of the Xue family, only to see Ji Xiu stand up, rubbing his clothes for a while, scratching his head for a while, and finally turned to Xue Qi, looked at him and said, "Good boy, don't worry, if I find out who killed your mother with my own hands, I will definitely kill him with my own hands to help avenge your mother!" Then he sat down, "It's just that I didn't expect this matter to involve so many people, so even I can be regarded as an accomplice to the death of your mother......"

Xue Qi hurriedly said, "How can this be about Master's business......

"It wasn't one person who killed Aunt Xue...... Fang You said with a dull look on the side.

Ji Xiu looked up to the sky and let out a long roar, "What else can be accommodated in this heaven and earth!" Then he looked at the crowd, "Go back, I know that you can't help yourself, you ...... Don't worry about me. ”

"We will never betray you, Master. It's just that now Wei Qinghuan has found out about this matter, and this matter will be exposed sooner or later, what should you do, Master? Xue Qi asked worriedly.

"You don't care about me, you still have a long way to go, and there is no need to be unnecessarily implicated for me."

"Master," Fang Yu said, "I'm here today to tell you that I'm ready to be born and die with you!" ”

"Me too!" Xue Qi also echoed on the side.

"I know what Master wants to do with Uncle Yu, and I am willing to join you." Fang Youdao.

Ji Xiu sighed, and then asked Zhao Rou to take Ji Yi out and wait outside, and then said to the other party You and Xue Qi, "Meng Chang asked Meng Yang to do the sale of illicit salt, and this business is precisely for us to prepare for a long time, and now that this matter has happened, we have no source, and Meng Chang has been found out again...... Alas, but now we have to fight and act in advance. Although Ji Xiu said something very serious and urgent, he didn't see the slightest panic or uneasiness.

Fang You and Xue Qi both understood that Master, Uncle Yu, and Meng Chang were raising soldiers privately. But the two didn't know that Meng Chang and them were so closely connected.

Although things have changed abruptly now, and Master and they have decided to rebel in advance, the two still firmly choose to stand on their Master's side.

"You have your own life, there is no need to worry about me for a person who has half of my body in the ground." Ji Xiu looked at the two of them and said seriously, "I know your intentions, but you must not be involved in this matter!" ”

"Master!" Xue Qi wanted to argue again, but when he saw Ji Xiu's eyes, he stopped, "Master, we ......"

"You just do your own thing, and don't worry about me." Ji Xiudao, then glanced outside the house, his eyes were full of love and reluctance, he said to Fang You and Xue Qi, "Also, take care of Hui'er for me." ”

"Master......" Fang Yu said.

"By the way, what about your senior brother? How is he? Ji Xiu suddenly thought of Xiao Qibai, so he asked.

"Senior brother, he ......" Xue Qi was about to open his mouth to tell Ji Xiu about Xiao Qibai's going to the Pure World Academy, but someone else stopped him. She continued Xue Qi's words and said, "Senior brother, he's fine. ”

Ji Xiu glanced at the two of them, nodded, and didn't ask any more.

After Wei Qinghuan took the paper with Lord Zeng's handprint for Meng Yang to see clearly, he said, "Lord Zeng has already recruited everything, and it is pointless for you to lie now." ”

"How do I know if your piece of paper is lying to me?" Meng Yang snorted coldly and said, not seeming to be afraid, "Besides, I didn't do anything, what kind of lie am I talking about?" ”

Wei Qinghuan said the word Meng Chang in his ear, and only then did Meng Yang change his face. Wei Qinghuan continued, "You're his distant cousin, right?" ”

"Who? I don't know him," Meng Yang still wanted to deny it again, "but it just happens to have the same surname as him, is it true that all the people with the surname Meng in the world are my cousins?" It's ridiculous......"

"Bring it!" Wei Qinghuan didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and shouted outside, and the subordinates waiting outside sent a ledger to Wei Qinghuan, "Look at what this is?" ”

After Meng Yang carefully looked at the account book, his face changed suddenly and he shouted, "Where did you find it?" "This ledger is obviously very secret, where did this Wei Qinghuan find it!

"Admit it?" Wei Qinghuan said, "I haven't said what this is?" What are you excited about? ”

Meng Yang lowered his head weakly.

"With your account book for selling illicit salt, there are ......" Wei Qinghuan shook the account book as he spoke, and a few letters fell out of the account book, "The letters between you and the imperial history of the salt patrol inside, even if you don't admit it, I can completely cure your sin by bringing you back to Beijing!" ”

"This ......" Meng Yang felt a little scared at this moment.

"If you tell Meng Chang about it, I will consider asking the emperor to reduce your crimes, otherwise, ......" Wei Qinghuan's mouth rose, "You will bear these charges alone." ”

Meng Yang's expression was the same as that of Master Zeng just now, and after being entangled for a long time, he said to Wei Qinghuan, "I'...... I said......"

"Say it." Wei Qinghuan motioned to the people behind him to write down Meng Yang's confession.

"Meng Chang is my distant cousin, and he also asked me to do the sale of illicit salt, I am responsible for doing business in Huaiyan, and he is responsible for helping me settle other things. Then every few months, he would find a connector to come to Huaiyan to ask me for silver. ”

"Connector?" Wei Qinghuan asked.

"These few times it's a guy named Ji Xiu." Meng Yang said honestly.

"Ji Xiu!" Wei Qinghuan was a little incredulous, he didn't expect to hear Ji Sicheng's name again in this situation.
