Chapter 72 Cooperation

In the middle of the night, the city lord's mansion was silent, only the palace lanterns in the winding alleys gave off a faint light.

A few dark shadows passed through the small courtyard and pavilions in the mansion, avoiding the prying eyes of the night, and finally came to a dark and quiet courtyard...

Ouyang Ming was in a deep sleep when suddenly a chill came from his neck. The threat of death made Ouyang Ming wake up from his sleep very quickly. He could not see clearly when he just opened his eyes. He could only vaguely see a person in front of him. Black shadow, but Ouyang Ming was not nervous at all...

Ying looked at Ouyang Ming who was being suppressed by him, and a look of praise flashed in his eyes. He deserved to be the one who made fun of them.

Ouyang Ming cooperated with Ying and kidnapped him out of the city lord's mansion until he arrived at an empty house on the outskirts of the city. In the room, Jiang Lie, Liu Chengyue, Wen Ting, Gu Yueru, Duan Fei, Mu Xing... a group of people watched Looking at Ouyang Ming, his expression was calm...

"Palace Master Jiang..." Ouyang Ming greeted Jiang Lie without being rude, and then looked at Jiang Lie calmly.

Jiang Lie frowned and didn't respond, but just waved, and soon a man in black came in with a woman.

The woman seemed to be very scared. When she came in and saw the people in such a big room, she became even more nervous, and even trembled a little. When she saw Ouyang Ming standing beside her, a trace of surprise flashed in the woman's eyes, and then Surprise, "Little Master!"

Ouyang Ming didn't know what Jiang Lie meant by this move at first, but when he heard the woman's cry, the blood in his whole body seemed to freeze...except that the people in Ouyang's mansion would call him that, it was already For 15 years, he has never heard anyone call him Young Master, but Ouyang Steward is the one he hears the most...

Seeing Ouyang Ming looking at her, the woman took a closer look at Ouyang Ming's face, and then wept with joy, "You are really a young master! I thought you, young master... and the master and madam..."

Only then did Ouyang Ming come back to his senses, and stared carefully at the woman's face, but in the end he didn't see anything. When Ouyang's family had an accident, he had only reached the crown not long ago, and because his family loved him, Youthful spirit, fresh clothes and angry horses, he spends all day enjoying the scenery and composing poems with his friends, but spends less time at home.

Some servants in Ouyang's mansion even only heard of the young master's name, but had never seen him as a young master, so those who can still recognize him now must be people from the inner court, and they can get in touch with him for a long time.It's just... Ouyang Ming looked at the woman carefully for a long time and still didn't see anything...

Seeing Ouyang Ming frowning and looking at her, the woman came to her senses and explained: "The young master, the servant girl Qingyan, is the person in Madam's room. Not long after she was transferred to Madam's side, she has always been Madam's elder brother. The servant girl Zi Yuan took it with her."

It was only then that Ouyang Ming realized that although he didn't spend much time at home, as long as he was at home, he would definitely go to his mother's room to greet his mother and talk about family matters, so it was not surprising that this woman knew him.

"Back then, more than 200 people in Ouyang's family died in the fire, why did you..." Ouyang Ming asked a little strangely.Back then, Ouyang's house was completely destroyed in a fire, with ruins and charred corpses everywhere. Afterwards, Ouyang Ming also inquired about it, but there was no news of anyone surviving.

The woman shook her body when she heard the words, and then, like beans poured out of a bamboo tube, she narrated her experiences back then.

It turned out that Qingyan was only sixteen or seventeen years old back then, and a maid who was next to his wife made a mistake and was kicked out, so she, who had a good relationship with Zi Yuan and was flexible in her hands and feet, was transferred to serve by his wife's side.

On the day of the accident, Madam planned to visit her friends in the city, but because of an accident at home, Qingyan asked Madam on leave to go home.A few days later, after finishing her work at home and returning to the city, Qingyan found that the Ouyang Mansion had been burnt to the ground, and all the people in the mansion were buried in the sea of ​​flames...

Originally thought that the matter was over here, after Qingyan inquired, she learned that except for a few charred corpses found in their respective courtyards, all the other corpses in the mansion had been dragged to the mass grave, so Gu Nian's previous friendship with colleagues , Qingyan went to the mass grave, prepared to pay homage and then went home.

But when she arrived at the mass grave, she saw a few people carrying the corpse from a distance, Qingyan thought it was a kind person helping to carry the corpse, so she walked a few steps forward, but heard a terrible conversation.

"These people die as soon as they die, and they even dragged us to carry the corpses! You have to come to your senses if you block the Second Young Master's way..."

"Don't say it, don't say it, there are so many words to do a job! If you say a few more words, you won't be able to carry them all over the night!"

"Isn't it just the few of us who are really bored, we can't stay here without talking..."

"Haha, you're afraid, kid. You've made so many excuses that you've been persuaded..."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

After a few people made fun of it, they said some other things intermittently, but Qingyan, who was hiding behind the bushes, was so frightened that she was about to cry, but she could only cover her mouth tightly when she wanted to shout... …

Those people did not carry all the corpses until very late that day, and after throwing all the corpses into the corpse pit, these people poured oil on fire and set the corpses on fire. In the middle of the night, the wilderness Ridge, a fire lit up half the sky...

Ouyang Ming listened numbly, although he already knew it in his heart, but when he actually heard it, he still felt like his whole heart fell into a bone-chilling icy lake...

Liu Chengyue looked at Ouyang Ming who was clasping her hands, her face was calm, but her eyes were red, and she felt a little sympathetic. Anyone who knew that the person she had always liked killed her family would be angry. What could be more cruel than this kind of deception in the world? What is more resentful?

The woman didn't know about the entanglement between Ouyang Ming and Lian Chengxun, so she said on the sidelines: "Young master, this servant is soft-spoken and has no skills, so I can't do anything for my wife and master. After all these years, if Brother Zhao didn't stop me , even if the maidservant goes to Beijing to file an imperial complaint, she is willing. It's just..."

Ouyang Ming interrupted Qingyan, "Don't worry, I will personally avenge the Ouyang family's revenge!"

Qingyan cried and laughed, muttered to herself for a while, and then was taken down by Jiang Lie's men.

"Since that's the case, Ming people don't say dark words, Palace Master Jiang, since you are so sincere in wanting to cooperate, then Ouyang will definitely not let you down!" Ouyang Ming said solemnly, clasping his fists.

Jiang Lie nodded, "Since this is the case, should Brother Ouyang also show some sincerity?"

Ouyang Ming smiled relaxedly, "Naturally!" After speaking, he threw something to Jiang Lie.

Jiang Lie reached out to take it, opened his palm and saw that it was a ring pendant.

"In the Yuanshan Inn in the city, the Palace Master's two attendants are there." Seeing Jiang Lie squinting at him, Ouyang Ming smiled softly, "Don't worry, I will entertain the Palace Master's people with delicious food and drink. Unharmed!"

Jiang Lie didn't speak any more, and threw the ring pendant directly to Ying who was beside him. Ying took the ring pendant, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.

Ouyang Ming looked at Ying's figure, and sighed secretly in his heart, Jiang Lie has a subordinate with such skill, his own martial arts might not be low, let alone be as talented and brainless as Lian Chengxun thought.After this incident, I don't know who will win in the end...
