After eating the rice balls symbolizing reunion, Yi Dan and the others left the Prime Minister's Mansion and returned to Yongyizhuang.

At this time, several disciples of the Knife Sharpening Gang arrested the pharmacist Xu Gui and threw him to kneel down in front of everyone to plead guilty. At the same time, it was thrown on the ground, and there was also the baggage that Xu Gui had packed.

Ouyang Yucheng hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

One of the disciples replied, "Helper, this Medicine Master Xu Gui is a traitor. He colluded with Tang Liansheng and quietly revealed your plans and whereabouts to them. Now that the matter is revealed, he was trying to pack his baggage and escape, and was caught by a few of us. ”

Ouyang Yucheng looked at Xu Gui suspiciously and asked, "Pharmacist Xu, didn't you go to Yingzhou to collect medicine and haven't come back yet, why are you here?"

Xu Gui raised his head very unconvinced, looked at Ouyang Yucheng with a hateful gaze, and said, "Hmph, I haven't left all along, I just don't want to see you." ”

Ouyang Yucheng asked, "Why? Why don't you want to see me? What did I do to offend you?"

Xu Gui said disdainfully: "You know it yourself, why do you pretend to be a good person?"

Ouyang Yucheng asked: "I don't know what you're talking about? Let's not talk about our affairs for the time being, how do you explain the matter of packing up your baggage and leaving? Are you really going to run away as they said?"

"That's right, I did tell Tang Liansheng about your whereabouts and plans. Now, if you want to kill, you have to listen to it. Xu Guidao.

Ouyang Yucheng asked puzzledly: "Mr. Xu, your ancestors have been loyal pharmacists in Tingfeng Hall for several generations, why do you want to help the abuse and ruin the wisdom of your ancestors?"

"If you don't mention your ancestors, when you mention your ancestors, I hate you, a hypocritical villain. Xu Gui said.

When Ouyang Yucheng heard Xu Gui's words, he was angry and puzzled, "What did I do? ”

"Ouyang Yucheng, you are less pretending to be confused. How my father died back then, you should know very well in your heart. Xu Gui said.

Ouyang Yucheng thought for a while and said, "Didn't your father be punished by the law-holding elder to Yazhou for three years because he violated the gang rules, and then he felt ashamed and committed suicide by jumping into the sea?"

"My father didn't commit suicide by jumping into the sea. I examined his body and found that it had been poisoned. Xu Gui said angrily.

Ouyang Yucheng's eyes widened and asked, "Really, how can this be?"

"That's right, my dad was poisoned and then thrown into the sea. You should know very well who did it, right?" Xu Gui said.

Ouyang Yu admitted: "Mr. Xu, you said so today. I just understood why. But I really didn't do it, and I only found out about this result today. I have no reason to harm someone who has done nothing to my gang, please trust me. ”

Xu Guidao: "Back then, my father was fiercely opposed to you being the leader of the gang, so he ended up like this later. You know this thing best. ”

"I, Ouyang Yucheng, swear to heaven that I have never done this. Xu Chongwei's predecessor is the hero of my knife grinding gang. When he went to Yazhou for retreat, he also took the initiative to ask for it. When the old Tang Dynasty had just destroyed the chaos in the world, he was full of enthusiasm. I want to do something great for the people of the world. I didn't expect to search all over the world. I can't find a master who can support me. So later, he took advantage of the matter of choosing the gang leader to play on the topic, and left the gang in anger and lived in seclusion in Yazhou, where there is no dispute with the world. Many of the brothers in the gang know your father's thoughts, and they just helped your father by pushing the boat. It is even more impossible to poison him secretly. Ouyang Yucheng explained word by word.

"Anyway, I'm in your hands now, you can say whatever you like. Xu Gui said.

At this time, Yi Dan on the side finally couldn't help but speak: "This gentleman, the internal affairs of your Knife Sharpening Gang. I shouldn't have been too talkative, but I want to tell you one thing, you're really helping the wrong person this time. That Tang Liansheng is a dead soldier planted in Middle-earth by a foreign cult, and their purpose should be to disrupt the world and create conditions for them to invade the Central Plains. In order to completely control the Knife Grinding Gang, he eliminated dissidents and brutalized Zhongliang. Do you know how many of his disciples have died at his hands? You have been blinded by your father's hatred and brought danger to the country, do you know?"

"Really?" asked Xu Gui with wide eyes.

"Of course, the old man can testify, can he still deceive you?" Lu Yonghuai said.

When Xu Gui heard this, he was suddenly afraid, so he said regretfully: "I don't know this. At that time, Na Tang Liansheng came to me, just saying that he was also a disciple of Tingfeng Tang, and he just wanted to regain the position entrusted to him by the previous gang leader. I didn't think about anything else at the time, I just wanted to take the opportunity to bring down the Ouyang gang leader and avenge my father. Hey, I'm really confused, I hurt my brothers, I really deserve to die. ”

Yi Dan said: "Do you know that you have been blinded by your own hypothetical hatred, and mistaken evil spirits for friends. Did you lend Tang Liansheng the herb shop?"

Xu Guidao: "That's right, what's wrong?"

Ouyang Yu admitted: "Tang Liansheng is in your medicinal herb workshop, killing people and breaking corpses. The people who died were all the brothers in the gang who opposed him, and even Uncle Zhan, whom you respect the most in ordinary times, was tragically murdered by him, don't you know any of this?"

Xu Gui's eyes widened in horror and asked, "Really? Second Uncle Zhan, didn't he go to Annan?"

Yi Dan said: "Uncle Zhan has not yet arrived in Annan, and he was murdered by Tang Liansheng's faction. The body was found in your herb shop, and we all witnessed it with our own eyes... It's really cruel. ”

Ouyang Yucheng roared angrily: "Don't say it, Uncle Zhan and his old man are gone, I don't want to think about that scene anymore, I don't want his old man to be hurt again." ”

Hearing this, Xu Gui sat on the ground limp and said with demented eyes: "Tang Liansheng just told me to let me lend him the medicinal herb workshop for a period of time, and he wants to refine the ancestral secret recipe." I didn't expect him to do such a cruel thing, I didn't even know it..."

"Tang Liansheng is an enemy or a friend, you can't tell it clearly, so you blindly help him, so that the relatives and enemies can be happy. Are you worthy of Uncle Zhan like this?" asked Ouyang Yucheng.

When Xu Gui heard these words, he cried bitterly and said, "No, Second Uncle Zhan, I'm sorry for you, I shouldn't be blinded by hatred, I'm going to come to Jiuquan to apologize to you." ”

As he spoke, Xu Gui pulled out a dagger and wanted to commit suicide by inserting it into his heart.

Yi Dan hurriedly made a move, grabbed Xu Gui's hand and said, "Mr. Xu, now is not the time for you to repay your debts with your life, Brother Ouyang, he just wants you to understand that you really did something wrong." ”

"No, if I weren't confused, Second Uncle Zhan wouldn't have died, it's all my fault, it's all my fault. Xu Gui cried.

"But after all, you didn't kill people, you were also deceived. It's not your fault. Yi Dan said.

Ouyang Yu admitted: "For the sake of your filial piety to your father, I will not punish you for the time being." But if you want to openly explain the truth of this matter to all the disciples at the gang meeting, so that they can eliminate their resentment against you, can you do it?"

Xu Gui Liushen nodded, and Ouyang Yucheng continued: "I hope you will learn a lesson from now on, and you must clarify right and wrong before doing things." Don't be fooled like this. ”

Xu Gui nodded, but suddenly remembered something, and said unconvinced: "Having said that, one yard is one yard." The grievances between you and me are not so easy to settle. ”

Yi Dan hurriedly said: "Mr. Xu, you must have misunderstood Brother Ouyang, he is by no means the kind of person you imagined. Brother Ouyang is righteous and resolute, and he is above board. It's impossible to do that kind of stabbing in the back, you must have misunderstood him. ”

"Anyway, my father died because he was punished to Yazhou, no matter what, it has nothing to do with him. Xu Gui said.

Yi Dan said: "Mr. Xu, before the matter is clarified, how can you so arbitrarily determine that it was Brother Ouyang who poisoned just the signs of your father's poisoning?

Hearing Yi Dan's words, Xu Guiru was filled with emotion, and suddenly said: "The girl is right, thank you for the reminder." I really should go to Yazhou again to find out about this matter, so that everyone can be convinced. ”

"Well, that's a good idea. Since Mr. Xu is going to Yazhou, why don't I go with my junior brother and you?"

"This..."Xu Gui didn't know how to answer.

"Mr. Xu, don't worry, although I believe in Brother Ouyang's character, I will not deliberately favor him because of this. If there is any problem, it will definitely be based on the facts, and will not take sides. ”

Xu Gui thought for a while and said, "Okay, since the girl is willing to take the initiative to help, then Xu Gui can't ask for it." ”

"But I have one condition. Yi Dan said.

"On what terms?"

"If the truth is found out, it is not Brother Ouyang's doing. Can you apologize to Brother Ouyang?" Yi Dan asked.

"Don't apologize, I promise to kowtow. Xu Gui said.

"Okay, then let's leave for Yazhou as soon as possible. Of course, Yi Dan believed in Ouyang Yucheng's character, so he said happily. (To be continued.) )
