Boredom, Ouyang Bei didn't want to stay in the mansion for a moment, so he walked out of the mansion gate alone and went to the street to find something to eat early.

Ouyang Bei sat down in a small roadside shop, only listening to the three or two neighbors who got up early while eating breakfast, but their mouths were not idle at all, and there were many discussions.

"Brother and sister-in-law, have you heard about Fengyi Tower?

The elderly woman on the side replied: "Tut-tut, isn't it, I heard that the woman died naked and undressed, tsk......"

"It's been a few days, and I haven't seen any movement from the government's bunch of wine bags and rice bags. ”

"Yes! I usually act as a prestige and shit, and I really want to run into a ruthless one!

"You say, this old Ma family makes so much money, could it be that who is jealous of their family to do this ruthless move?"

"It's not for sure, it's just that you said that the second son of the Ma family had such a good background, why did he die on the bed of the bitch in Goolan Courtyard?"

"Brother, haven't you seen that little lady in Fengyi Tower, who looks good...... Yo Yo Yo ...... Painful ......"

I think it must be that my ears were torn into two feet by my mother-in-law.

What happened in a place like Qinglou really spread quickly and divinely.

Ouyang Bei listened to them exaggerating the case, and also arranged a meal for himself as a member of the yamen, and his heart was angry, funny and helpless.

Listening to them talk about the old Ma family, Ouyang Bei remembered that he still had the hot potato-like letter from the Guangsheng on his body, why not visit the Ma Mansion to return the letter and learn about the situation of the bitter master by the way, maybe there will be new clues.

Having made up his mind, he quickly pulled two chopsticks and got up to pay the bill and leave the store.

For Ouyang Bei, catching thieves and handling cases is easy to do, but when it comes to visiting these rich businessmen and dignitaries, he still feels a little uncomfortable.

Even so, Ouyang Bei and Ma Dechang, the old man of the Ma family, have also had several faces, and the basic etiquette on this side is still required, the second son of the Ma family is newly dead, and he should go to worship, so there is also a good reason to come to the door in order to take the opportunity to return the letter.

It's just that I tossed for a day and a night, and I didn't change a single piece of clothes, so it didn't seem appropriate to go to the house like this, so I turned home and changed into clean clothes.

In the early morning in Fugui Lane in the south of the city, there are many deep mansions and courtyards, I don't know if the rich people prefer to be quiet, Mafu is located in the deepest part of Fugui Lane, which is particularly quiet.

I saw the white flags hanging high, the Zhu door was deeply locked, Ouyang Bei trembled his spirits, strode forward and knocked on the door, knocked for a long time, but no one answered.

Ouyang Bei was puzzled, and said in his heart: "Could it be that I came too early, and the people in the Ma Mansion haven't gotten up yet?" ”

He knocked his hand a few times, but he didn't realize that the door was forced to knock a crack for himself, and then pushed it with his hand, and the two heavy vermilion lacquer nanmu doors squeaked open to both sides.

Ouyang Bei was shocked, although Yangzhou City has not been able to give birth to anything big over the years under his own painstaking maintenance, but it is still not achieved if he does not close his door at night and does not leave anything behind.

Ouyang Bei stepped into the door with one foot, and couldn't help but feel alert, his right hand subconsciously clenched the saber in his waist, and then tentatively stretched his foot in, and saw that there was nothing unusual, so he stepped into the door with the other foot.

When Ouyang Bei dodged into the door, he found that there was no one in the front yard except for paper money and white spirit flags fluttering in the wind.

Ouyang Bei walked into the courtyard and said, "Old man Ma, Ouyang Bei, the head catcher of Yangzhou Mansion, came to pay a visit, and please come out to meet!"

After a long time, there was still no one in sight.

Ouyang Bei was suspicious in his heart, and pondered: "This Ma Dechang has done such a big deal, he is a person who has seen the world, and the eldest son is even worshipping under the Heavenly Master, even if the second son dies, he will not flee in panic." Something big is going on?"

Seeing that there was no answer in the front yard, he cautiously continued to walk inside.

The Ma family has been operating the salt industry in Yangzhou City for more than 20 years, with strong financial resources, and the mansion is built very generously.

Ouyang Bei walked for a while before approaching the front hall.

As he was walking, he suddenly stumbled under his feet, as if something soft was lying on the ground.

Ouyang Bei was surprised, and hurriedly looked down, only to see an arm stretched out from the flower bed next to the path.

Ouyang Bei was taken aback, stepped back with a sigh, and shouted, "Who?"

But the man was still lying face down in the flowerbed, not moving.

Ouyang Bei knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly leaned over to check.

He grabbed the man's arm, dragged him out of the flowers, and then pulled out a man and took a picture with him.

When Ouyang Bei saw it, he spared him for many years of handling cases and martial arts, and he couldn't help but scream at this time.

Where is it still a person, it is clearly a blood gourd! I saw that the person who was dragged out was unkempt and covered in blood.

Ouyang Bei was shocked in his heart, knowing that something had happened to the Ma Mansion, so he hurriedly looked at the person who was dragged out of the flower garden.

I saw that his face was dripping with blood, his face had been torn apart, the flesh was blurred, and his nose and both ears had been cut off by sharp blades, leaving only his nostrils and ear holes.

Looking at the skin on the neck, hands and feet, there are many wrinkles, which is not like that of young people.

Ouyang Bei hurriedly hugged him up, barely recognizing the person's appearance, although he didn't have a deep relationship, he had also met a few times, it wasn't Ma Dechang but who it was!

Ouyang Bei carefully inspected the injuries on his body again, and found that Ma Dechang's hands and feet had been broken, and his ten fingers were crushed by hard pinching, and he was still bleeding dripping, and it seemed that the injury had not been for a long time.

Ouyang Bei probed Ma Dechang's heart, there was still a trace of heat, and he was busy pinching him, pushing and rubbing the palms of his feet, and it took a long time for Ma Dechang to wake up and moan: "Hey...... Yikes......"

Ouyang Bei was anxious to know who did it, so he hurriedly put it in Ma Dechang's ear and said: "Old man Ma, I am Ouyang Bei, the head catcher of Yangzhou Mansion, cheer up!"

The corners of Ma Dechang's mouth squirmed, but he only hummed in pain, and it was difficult to make a sound.

Ouyang Bei hurriedly sealed several acupuncture points on his body in order to alleviate his pain.

Ma Dechang's injuries were really heavy, and he said in a very low voice: "Ouyang catches the head...... Good...... Good...... You're finally here. ”

Ouyang Bei didn't understand what he meant, what did this old man say as if he had been waiting for him. Hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Old Man Ma, what the hell is going on? You knew in advance that I was coming?"

Ma Dechang first clenched his upper and lower teeth, showing a look of extreme hatred, and then asked, "Ouyang catches the head...... Have you ever received a letter to you?"

Ouyang Bei hurriedly said: "Received, I'll take it with me now." ”

Ma Dechang suddenly showed a relieved smile on his face, and said, "God bless, it's good that things are still there...... Ouyang Catcher...... You...... You ......"

Ouyang Beiqi said: "What's still there, Old Man Ma, you can make it clear!"

Ma Dechang's eyes gradually drifted, his heart was full of sorrow, and he gasped and whispered: "It's a pity...... There are more than 60 people in my Ma family!"

After that, the old tears on his face were all over his face, and the tears and blood were stained on Ouyang Bei's clothes.

Although Ouyang Bei has lived and died for a long time, this old man Ma is lying in his arms at this moment, extremely miserable, and he can't help but feel something in his heart.

He asked again, "Old man, who did this?"

Ma Dechang took Ouyang Bei's hand, took his last breath, and said, "You...... You'll be in ...... two days Eastern suburbs Jiuhuai Lin Huaihua Niangniang Temple, go to ...... Go find me...... My eldest son...... Ma Xingbang. ”

With the last bit of strength, his already broken fingers slammed into Ouyang Bei's palm, and he said with wide eyes: "Remember!"

I couldn't catch it in one breath, and as soon as my head was off, I died.

Ouyang Bei's mind was in turmoil, and he was full of doubts: "Who did it? This gangster should be a good hand in the rivers and lakes, why didn't he even let go of an old man? The day before yesterday, he killed two people who were powerless, and now he has committed this tragedy, what is it worth so much trouble?"

While he was still grieving and angry, he suddenly saw smoke billowing from the inner hall, and it was actually on fire.

He was in a state of confusion just now, and since he took over as the head catcher, he had never been so shocked, and all the alertness he had cultivated on a daily basis had been forgotten, and he had neglected to observe the situation around him for a while.

Ouyang Bei saw that Ma Dechang could no longer live, so he immediately put down the body, got up and ran all the way to the inner hall, the closer he got to the inner hall, the more the pungent smell of fire oil became.

He was deeply afraid that the gangsters were still in the inner hall, so he pulled out a steel knife in one hand and tightly held the chain of the meteor hammer in the other, and his strength filled his body.

It's just that at this moment, my heart is in turmoil, my thoughts fluctuate, and my mind flashed: "Yesterday, why didn't I find Ma Fu earlier, and go to Tianning Temple of Shi Laoshizi, the second son of Ma was miserable the day before yesterday, and today someone killed Ma Fu, who is the group of people who have such a deep hatred with the Ma family? Where did the senior disciples of the Heavenly Master like Ma Xingbang, the eldest son of the Ma family, go?"

When he got close to the inner hall, Ouyang Bei found that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, the flames kept rolling, the heat wave was rolling in, and the sound of beeping after the wood was burning came from time to time, and occasionally it seemed to be mixed with the sound of wailing people, and it was already difficult to get close half a step.

He had the heart to put out the fire, but his own strength was undoubtedly a drop in the bucket, and after a little hesitation, he turned around and looked at the front yard and was also angry.

This fire burned so fast, in a moment, it almost became a circle, there is a way that water and fire are ruthless, and if you don't get out, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape this disaster.

In desperation, Ouyang Bei had no choice but to cover his mouth and nose, and found a slightly weaker direction to break through, Rao is so, Ouyang Bei, who escaped from Mafu, also had a black face, a large piece of his clothes was burned off by the fire, and a few locks of hair were also burned.

At this time, he didn't care about this, and hurriedly called the neighbors of Fugui Lane to come to put out the fire, and asked people to go to the government to report the news.

How can these rich people's courtyards in Fugui Lane be far apart, and the fire is too big, only to see the fire borrowing the power of the wind, pouring water into smoke, the tongue of fire spits out more than a foot away, licking it, and it is unbearable to roast, who dares to come to the front? Those who rush to fight the fire can only look at the fire and sigh in vain.

It was a big fire, and it burned for nearly two hours before the fire was slightly weaker, and everyone took advantage of the fact that the fire was slightly smaller to put out the fire together.
