Chapter 133: No Evidence
Lu Yonghuai collected the bones of Zhan Mouding and others and sent them back to be buried in the tomb of the Knife Gang Zhongyi in Baiyun Mountain.
After burying a few people in Zhan Mouding, Ouyang Yucheng got up from the grave and hurriedly wanted to run down the mountain.
At this time, Lu Yonghuai stopped him: "Where are you going?"
"I'll go to that Tang Liansheng and ask if he killed Uncle Zhan. And Na Xu Yaoshi, why did the medicine workshop he was in charge of become a place for killing people and destroying corpses. Ouyang Yucheng said.
"In the slaughterhouse just now, the man in black was obviously Tang Liansheng, otherwise why would he have a blade? Since he didn't admit it, do you think he would admit it if you went to him?" Lu Yonghuai said.
"Since he did it, why didn't he dare to admit it?" asked Ouyang Yucheng.
"I know the way the Dongyi Sect acts, even if you catch his handle and get all the stolen goods, they will rely on it to the end, and they will never admit it. Lu Yonghuai said.
"What kind of thing is this?Since you dare to do it, you must not dare to do it, otherwise you will not be afraid of the world's martial arts ridicule?" Ouyang Yucheng asked.
"They are not from my Central Plains martial arts at all, and they will not recognize our rules. If you go and talk to them, it is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger. Lu Yonghuai said.
"No matter what, Master Zhan can't die like this, I must find out the truth, find out the real culprit, and avenge Master Zhan. With that, Ouyang Yucheng ran down the mountain and hurried back to Yongyizhuang.
And Yi Dan knew that Ouyang Yucheng was poisoned, and he was afraid that something would happen to him, so he chased him back.
Yang Yucheng went straight to Tang Liansheng's room, and it was already dawn at this time.
"Knock knock" Ouyang Yucheng knocked on the door vigorously.
"Who?" a voice came from inside.
"Uncle Tang, it's me, Ouyang Yucheng. Ouyang Yu suppressed his anger and said.
Tang Liansheng opened the door, stretched his waist and said, "Ouyang Xian's nephew, may I ask if there is anything wrong with coming to me so early?"
Ouyang Yucheng asked straight to the point: "Uncle Tang." Tell me the truth, are you a stranger or not?"
Tang Liansheng said innocently: "What are you talking about, nephew Ouyang Xian? I don't understand a word. β
Yi Dan on the side said: "Ping Zhongwu, and the master of the Worry Hall are all you, you don't have to pretend anymore, your matter has been exposed, so don't hurry up and recruit from the truth." β
Tang Liansheng said with an innocent face: "What is Ping Zhongwu? What is the hall master of the Worry Elimination Hall? I don't understand what you are talking about at all. Oh, by the way, there are often people in the gang who deliberately speak ill of me and ruin my reputation, they are just jealous of me being the leader of the gang, Ouyang Xian, nephew, don't believe the slander of others. β
Ouyang Yucheng immediately asked, "Uncle Zhan is dead. Do you know who did it?"
Tang Liansheng asked with a look of surprise, "What? You said that Elder Zhan died? Didn't he go to Annan? How could he die?"
"I don't care if you really don't know, or if you don't know. Anyway, now I want you to give up the position of helper first, and when this matter is clarified, it will not be too late to succeed you. Ouyang Yucheng said.
Tang Liansheng said: "I haven't done anything wrong, why should I give up my position as the gang leader? This will cause the gang to be suspicious, thinking that our knife sharpening gang is not trustworthy." Besides, you have no evidence, why do you say that I killed Elder Zhan? This is too arbitrary, right?"
Ouyang Yu Chengsheng listened to Tang Liansheng's words, and said very angrily: "The position of the helper is passed on to you by me. I'm going to take it back now, and you're going to have to let it out. β
"The position of the leader of the gang was obtained by my Tang Liansheng with his ability, and the brothers in the gang are all convinced, why should you say a word. You are still a person who has been a helper, why are you still so naΓ―ve and reckless in doing things? Aren't you afraid that the rivers and lakes will laugh at us and the knife grinding gang will change the order day and night?" Tang Liansheng said in a heartfelt manner.
After listening to Tang Liansheng's convenience, Ouyang Yucheng also understood that he had no evidence. Can't convince Tang to win. It is only in conscience that he asks. Unexpectedly, when Tang Liansheng asked a few words, his face turned red. Speechless.
At this time, Yi Dan said to Ouyang Yucheng: "Brother Ouyang, forget it, Senior Lu is right, let's not argue with him for the time being, one day he will show his fox tail." β
Ouyang Yucheng had no choice but to say: "Okay, I don't have evidence today, so I can't do anything to you." But you have to remember for me that one day, when I find the real evidence, I will definitely let you pay with blood. β
Tang Liansheng blushed and said: "You only believe a few rumors from the rivers and lakes, but you refuse to believe me, what else do I have to say, please." β
"They are all elders of the Tingfeng Hall period, do you think I should believe them, or do I believe you?" Ouyang Yucheng asked rhetorically.
"Since you're like that, I have nothing to say. I'm not at fault anyway, so let time tell. Please...", spread out his hands to send off the guests.
"Okay, I'll see how long you can last, let's go. With that, Ouyang Yucheng turned around and left with Yi Dan.
Ouyang Yucheng had long expected that he would not get any answers from Tang Liansheng. So he came to the outside of the Yongyi Courtyard where the pharmacist Xu Gui was.
After knocking on the door several times, an eleven or twelve-year-old apprentice opened the door and said, "It turned out to be Ouyang Gang Leader, is there anything wrong with the Gang Master?"
"Is your master here?" asked Ouyang Yucheng.
"My master recently went to collect medicine and hasn't come back yet. The apprentice replied.
"Why didn't he tell me?" asked Ouyang Yucheng.
He told the soup leader. The apprentice said.
"Hmph, it's Tang Liansheng again. Did he say when he would come back?" asked Ouyang Yucheng.
"The disciple doesn't know, the master's affairs will not tell me about this little apprentice, please come back next time. The apprentice said.
"Hey, well, I see. With that, Ouyang Yucheng turned around and left.
And in Tang Liansheng's room, after Ouyang Yucheng and Yi Dan left, Weiguang Zheng walked out of the back hall.
"Helper, why did Ouyang Yucheng come to ask you, is our plan revealed?"
Tang Liansheng looked around and said, "No, he just suspects, but there is no definite evidence." Don't worry, he can't do anything with us, everything goes according to plan. β
"It's the helper. Oh, by the way, Lord Li Yinheng sent someone to communicate with his subordinates today, hoping that we can solve his serious problem as soon as possible, how should his subordinates reply to him? Wei Guang Zheng said.
"You reply to Master Li. Don't worry, we'll get this done as soon as possible, but it's a bit tight right now, and it will take a little time. Tang Liansheng said.
"However, my subordinates have recently heard that the bandits in Chengzhou Qiang Mountain seem to have something to do with Li Yinheng. Does this mean that he doesn't need us anymore and wants to seize power by himself?" said Wei Guangzheng.
Tang Liansheng thought for a while and then said, "Don't worry, he doesn't have this ability." He is just a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and he has no military power in his hands. However, I suspect that his purpose in doing this is only to raise the bandits' self-respect, so as to further consolidate his power and position, and emphasize his importance to the emperor, and the other two prime ministers, Zhao Guangyi and Yang Dongqian, are just equal. These little tricks. Not a problem. β
"Then, should we prevent him from crossing the river and demolishing the bridge?" asked Wei Guangzheng.
"Prevention is definitely to be guarded, but he does not hesitate to sacrifice the stability of the country for his own interests. The peace of the people. Even if this kind of person is in power, he is just a thief who brings disaster to the country and the people, and does not pose any threat to us. Let's just pay attention to the point and try to help him get what he wants. But don't worry too much about him, he's just a pawn. Tang Liansheng said.
"Well, the subordinate understands. It just so happened that Li Yinheng wanted to borrow our power to get rid of that Zhao Guangyi. In this regard, it coincides with us. Wei Guang Zheng said.
"Yes, Zhao Guangyi is a capable person who determines the country and Anbang, if he is a long-term minister in the Southern Han Dynasty, I am afraid that the Southern Han Dynasty will become stronger and stronger in the future. At that time, there is a possibility of unifying the Central Plains, and we can't let them go in this direction, otherwise our big plan will fall through. Tang Liansheng said.
"Well, it's a shame to think about it. Although Zhao Guangyi has such a talented person, he actually met a colleague who was jealous of his ability. Since ancient times, the Tang people have liked such infighting, so that we have this opportunity. Wei Guang Zheng said.
Tang Liansheng also sighed and said: "Yes, to be honest, if it weren't for each of his masters, I still admire a virtuous person like Zhao Guangyi who has both ability and political integrity." It's a pity that in this era of traitors, they can only look up to the sky and sigh, and they are not born at the right time. β
Li Yinheng thought. Let us get rid of Zhao Guangyi and Yang Dongqian for him, he will be the only powerful minister in the Southern Han Dynasty. How did he know that the praying mantis catches cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind. Wei Guang Zheng said sinisterly.
Tang Liansheng said: "No. On the contrary, we just want him to be the only powerful minister of the Southern Han Dynasty, this kind of incompetent power leans towards the government and the opposition, which will only make the Southern Han more and more chaotic, and at the same time, the whole world will become more and more chaotic. Our sect leader has worked hard for many years, and the day of living in the Central Plains is getting closer and closer?"
"The helper is right, the helper is too clever. Wei Guang Zheng said.
"Don't pat my ass, I'm not one of those mediocre officials in the Central Plains. Tang Liansheng said.
Weiguang Zheng smiled and respectfully exited the room.
Yi Dan followed Ouyang Yucheng to scold Tang Liansheng to no avail, so he came to the vicinity of the slaughterhouse. I saw a steamed bun shop, an uncle was busy mixing noodles and choosing dishes.
"Uncle, do you know who opened this slaughterhouse next to you?" Yi Dan asked the uncle.
The uncle replied: "This slaughterhouse was originally opened by a local staff member in Guangzhou, but a few months ago, it was sold to a businessman. And this merchant changed hands and sold it to an unknown person. Now even we, the old neighbors, don't know who the owner of this slaughterhouse is. β
"So, do you have any dealings with the people inside?" Yi Dan asked.
"No, the people in there are mysterious, and they don't have any contact with the neighbors. So we don't know anything about this slaughterhouse now," said the old man.
"Okay, I know, thank you, uncle" Yi Dan turned his head to Ouyang Yucheng and said, "What should I do?" This clue is broken again, do we have to find a way to verify it again." β
"Since their target is likely to be Prime Minister Zhao, then let's just check directly from the Prime Minister's Mansion, right?" Ouyang Yucheng suggested after thinking about it.
"Prime Minister's Mansion, but the Prime Minister's Mansion is an official mansion, what identity should we use to investigate? Shall we stop the Prime Minister's palanquin on the street and tell him that we are going to his house to investigate the case?" Hearing Yi Dan's naughty words, Ouyang Yucheng finally showed a hint of a smile.
"Brother Ouyang, since I saw you last night, until now, I finally saw you smile. β
Ouyang Yu admitted: "Hey, I'm smiling bitterly. I'm sorry Dan'er, there are so many things that have happened, I really can't be happy, and it makes you uncomfortable, I'm sorry!"
"It's okay, I know, Brother Ouyang, you are a kind person. You must be very sad about the death of Zhan's predecessor. Senior Lu was also too sad and angry for a while, and he didn't know who to find to be angry, so he made those irrational actions, I hope you don't feel too uncomfortable because of this. Yi Dan persuaded.
"Well, I understand, I don't blame Uncle Lu. It's all my own fault for being careless. Ouyang Yucheng said.
"I hope you will come out of your sadness as soon as possible and find out the real culprit as soon as possible, so that you can avenge Senior Zhan. Yi Dan said.
"That's right, Dan'er, you're right, I listen to you. Ouyang Yucheng looked at Yi Dan with an expression.
"Well, this is the Ouyang hero I admire. Yi Dan said.
Ouyang Yucheng looked at Yi Dan and smiled stupidly. At this time, Youming shouted behind him: "Senior sister"
Yi Dan turned around and said, "Senior brother, why don't you rest in the room, why don't you come out with you?"
"Senior sister, haven't you also had a night off?" Youming said.
"I came out with Brother Ouyang to investigate this case, if you're okay, go back and rest, you're tired of running around with me these days. Yi Dan said.
Youming said with some disappointment: "Senior sister, are you afraid that I will disturb you?"
"Senior brother, what are you talking about? I don't mean that, I care about your body. Yi Dan argued.
"I'm in good health, I'm worried about your safety, senior sister, so I came out to take a look. Youming said.
"I just discussed with Brother Ouyang, and he said that let's go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to investigate this case, do you want to go with you too?" Yi Dan asked.
When Youming heard that he was going to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he hurriedly said, "Yes? This sounds like a lot of fun, of course I have to go." Senior sister, I'll go wherever you go, didn't we already say yes?"
Ouyang Yucheng said: "Okay, Brother Youming will go with us." β
Youming said sourly: "I'm going with my senior sister." β
For some reason, Youming, who has always been kind and sensible, suddenly became sensitive and aggressive when he saw his senior sister and Ouyang Yucheng so close. This may be a change in his transformation from a boy to a man, and no matter what he thinks in his heart, he will slowly find out later. (To be continued.) )
