Ma Xingbang's voice trembled, and he was about to talk about how the second son of the Ma family and Miss Yunlian were killed, but he was sad for a while. Although Ouyang Bei was anxious in his heart and wanted to make a voice to urge, he held back his strength.

Ma Xingbang calmed down after a while, and then said: "It's just that I didn't take my father's advice to heart at that time, and he went out without holding the second brother." As a result, as soon as I went out, I was targeted by these beasts, two living lives, without any effort, they were still young, and they were so inhumanely killed. ”

Ouyang Bei heard that there were doubts again, and asked, "How did you find out so quickly that Ma Ergongzi was killed?" I remember that our yamen was the first to arrive at the scene of the crime. ”

Ma Xingbang smiled gloomily and said: "My father has always been cautious, late at night when my second brother went out, my father suddenly felt restless and his eyelids jumped, so he sent someone to call me and my second brother, but I didn't find the second brother, he knew that something was wrong and sent me to find it quickly." I knew where the second brother went, but I was still a step too late, and when I arrived, the second brother and Yunlian had already been killed. ”

"These beasts are really treacherous, they have killed people in the house, and they have left people to lie in ambush outside the house. I just arrived outside the room of Miss Yunlian in Fengyi Building and saw that the two people in the room were killed, and the murderer was a short and fat black-clothed masked man, ready to hide on the spot, I just wanted to break it, but at this time, there were two black-clothed masked masters behind my back. ”

Ouyang Bei listened to him describe the situation at the scene of the Fengyi Lou crime, and remembered the speculation and analysis of the old Wang Tou that day, and now it seems that he has analyzed one less possibility, that is, after the gangsters committed the murder, they had the audacity to hide at the scene, and they did not go out of the room at all, but waited until they took someone to check the scene of the crime and left, and then left calmly, which shows how cunning these thieves are.

I only heard Ma Xingbang continue: "I heard that the evil wind behind me was not good, and I hurriedly drew my sword and turned around to block it, but I didn't know that the fight was not enough, and suddenly my chest was cold, and the upper body on the right side seemed to be suddenly unconscious, and I almost didn't hold the sword, come and see!"

Ma Xingbang unbuttoned his clothes as he spoke, and sure enough, his right chest was wrapped in a thick bandage, and there were faint traces of blood oozing out.

Ouyang Bei remembered what Yan Junshan, the "First Sword of Southern Support", mentioned in Tianning Temple, and exclaimed: "This ...... Is this the 'Frost Sword'?"

Ma Xingbang smiled contemptuously and said, "I don't care if it's a frost condensation sword or a urine condensing sword, anyway, I just want to get justice for my second brother at that time." I went desperately, using the Heavenly Master's personal swordsmanship, before I would defeat the two of them, but I didn't know that I couldn't beat Shihe, and these two thieves suddenly retreated. I was afraid that they would go to my house to find bad luck, so I had to leave the body of my second brother and hurry back. ”

"Fortunately, there is nothing unusual when I get home, my father saw me come back alone, knowing that the second brother must have suffered an accident, he endured his grief, asked about the situation, and helped me deal with the injury, and then said in a resolute tone: 'Son, my father wants you to leave Yangzhou immediately!'"

Speaking of this, Ma Xingbang was really depressed, tears fell, and choked up: "Looking back now, my father really loves me in his heart, and he has the will to die, but he wants me to escape alone......"

Ouyang Bei and Meng Dongting listened with sympathy, it seems that Ma Dechang intends to sacrifice his life so that his beloved son can escape. Meng Dongting felt even more in his heart, and said: "Parents love their sons, that is human nature, Ma Gongzi, you must respect yourself, don't let down the old man's heart!"

Ouyang Bei thought of Ma Dechang's tragic situation before his death, and his heart was also sad, so he stretched out his hand and gently patted Ma Xingbang's shoulder. Ma Xingbang looked at the two of them in a daze, and his shoulders shrugged slightly, looking quite moved.

After a while, Ma Xingbang gradually eased up and sighed: "I was so competitive at that time, how could I easily admit defeat." My father asked me to run away alone, and I was very angry, so I left everyone alone, how can I be this family in the future? I lost my temper on the spot, and unless my father explained the truth, who brutally killed my second brother, I would never leave. My father was forced by me to be anxious, and only said three words, 'Xiao Kehan'. ”

Ouyang Bei's whole body was shocked, and he said in a trembling voice: "I...... I've heard this name mentioned, what is the origin of this man?"

Ma Xingbang clenched his steel teeth, and said viciously word by word: "The East China Sea Sword Sect is small, and the beasts are not as good. I heard my father say that it was the hand of the Donghai faction, and I was angry at that time, thinking that I was a disciple of the Heavenly Master, but the Donghai faction didn't pay attention to it, so I pulled out my sword and wanted to go to them to kill them. ”

Ouyang Bei asked with concern, "Then Old Man Ma can let you go?"

Ma Xingbang shook his head and said: "As soon as my father heard that I was going to find someone to fight, he grabbed me on the spot, and woke me up with a slap, he said to me: 'The enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, Xiao Kehan of the East China Sea Sword Sect is a grandmaster-level figure who has become famous in the early years, even if you are covered in iron, you can't stick a few nails. The most important thing at the moment is to send things out, the most important thing for us to open the door to do business is the word Xinyi, Guangsheng can be scattered, but these two words must be kept even if they die. ’

After that, he slapped his palm on the table and said loudly: 'The thief is bold, how can I, Ma Dechang, be easy to bully, Xingbang, your uncle and ancestor are in Taizhou, so we will ask the Heavenly Master Sect for help. ’”

Ouyang Bei nodded and sighed: "Yes, your Ma family has a deep relationship with the Heavenly Master Sect, as long as you invite the Heavenly Master to teach the Taoist Master to come out of the mountain, you will not be afraid of anything." ”

Ma Xingbang continued: "It is precisely because of this that my father has thought of a countermeasure in a very short time. He first immediately sent two letters to the government, and sent me to ask for help from my uncle, and met here in the Niangniang Temple three days later. ”

Hearing Ma Xingbang's words mention the letter, Ouyang Bei hurriedly asked, "Two letters, but the two that were given to Jia Jingzong and me respectively?"

Ma Xingbang said: "That's right, this letter is still written by my father, one is for Jia Zhifu, and one is for you, are you taking it with you now?"

Ouyang Bei nodded and said, "It's on me, is there anything strange in this letter?"

Ma Xingbang actually sold Guan Zi again, and said, "Master Bei, don't worry, I'm going to talk about this soon." ”

Ouyang Bei continued to ask: "Then you went to Taizhou to ask for help, can this way be too peaceful?" Have you ever found the uncle of the Heavenly Master Sect?"

Ma Xingbang heaved and said: "Bei Ye really has an unusual knowledge, you guessed well, these thieves have been planning for a long time, as soon as I moved, they were already aware of it, and arranged two groups of people to chase and kill along the road." Pigs and dogs are not as good as things, and I started to hurt two of them, but I didn't please myself, and my legs and feet inevitably hurt. Fortunately, before I set off, I had already flown a pigeon to pass the book to my uncle, he was an old man, and led people to Yangzhou non-stop, and met halfway, my life was picked up!"

Ouyang Bei persuaded: "Young Master Ma, please cherish it, your life was saved by the Heavenly Master when he was in danger, and you must not be brave and ruthless." ”

Ma Xingbang laughed when he heard this, but his voice sounded full of sadness, and two lines of tears flowed down.

Ouyang Beidao: "Young Master Ma, although I, Ouyang, have lived for more than thirty years, as long as I still have a breath left, I will definitely do my best to seek justice for your Ma family!"

Meng Dongting on the side was also filled with righteous indignation when he heard it, although he was a scholar and wrote pleadings for others as a lawyer, he did not forget to echo and said: "Ma Gongzi, count me as a share." ”

Ma Xingbang smiled sadly and said: "Master Bei, little brother, you are all temperamental, fast talking, I just hope you don't forget today's words!"

Although Ouyang Bei heard these words with gratitude, in fact, Ma Xingbang may not believe in himself. He turned the conversation around and asked, "The East China Sea Sword Sect has made several moves, should you get what they wanted?"

Ma Xingbang's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "This is not, they are still busy in vain." ”

Ouyang Bei was surprised: "They shot several times in a row, but they didn't get anything, who is that thing?"

Ma Xingbang showed a sly look on his face, and said, "Please take a guess for Master Bei." ”

Ouyang Beidao: "Could it be in the hands of Ma Gongzi?"

Ma Xingbang shook his head and said, "If it's in my hands, why should I stay in Yangzhou?"

Ouyang Bei was a little anxious, and said, "Don't sell it, let's say it quickly!"

Ma Xingbang pointed his finger at Ouyang Bei for a long time, and said, "The thing is on you!"

Ouyang Bei was taken aback, and said in disbelief: "What's wrong with this, do you still have the heart to joke with me?"

Ma Xingbang's face was serious, not like a joke at all, and said, "Master Bei, didn't you ask what was strange about the two letters sent by your father to you and Jia Jingzong?"

Ouyang Bei's heart sank, and he reached into his arms and touched the letter. He said in a trembling voice, "Could it be ...... Could it be that the salt ticket stub is in these two letters?"

Ma Xingbang said: "Master Bei, what you said is good, but what you said is not entirely right, to be precise, in the letter to you, what was given to Jia Jingzong was just a disguise." It was only because my father knew the methods of Xiao Kehan of the East China Sea Sword Sect, and it was expected that they would break into the Ma Mansion sooner or later, so he sent someone to seal the things in a letter and send them to the Yamen, ostensibly to send a letter to Jia Jingzong to confuse the thief, but in fact, he borrowed your hand to keep it, and then asked you to retrieve it after the limelight passed. ”

Ouyang Bei trembled his hands, took out the letter in his arms, and said, "Why did your father and son entrust me with such an important thing?
