Chapter 184: General Shi Fighting the Red-haired Ghost II
The corners of Liu Tang's mouth curled up slightly and he said to Shi Xiu: "How do you make me believe that what you are saying is not lies?"
Until now, this red-haired man still doesn't believe me. Shi Xiu felt quite resentful in his heart and couldn't help but clench his hands in vain. Unfortunately, his kung fu was not as good as others, otherwise there would be no need to be restrained here. Shi Xiu had no choice but to be patient and explain. Said: "As you said, if I were with the elder, I would have gone to inform that guy long ago, but I didn't. Although I ran away, I changed into my night clothes in the nearby alley and came back again. I'll lie down under the eaves over there," Shi Xiu said, pointing to an abandoned house.
Liu Tang took a look over there and saw that the house was dozens of steps away from here. It was covered by eaves. It was really dark, making it a good place to hide.
Shi Yong continued: "Not only did I see how you disposed of the man's body, but I also saw something more important,"
When Liu Tang heard this, his eyes tightened even more and he asked: "What did you see?"
"I saw another person hiding in the stable over there. He was also watching you intently, watching you dig a hole for a person and peeling off that person's armor. Come down and watch you bury those clothes and armor under the flower stand in another place. What’s funny is that you don’t know the existence of either me or him at all. You still think that you have done it perfectly and you don’t know the gods and ghosts. "
Liu Tang really didn't expect that someone would be lurking in the dark, so who was this person?
Shi Yong continued: "You must be speculating on who this person is. In fact, I am as curious as you are, so after you left, I stayed. I was lucky enough to see things that you could not see, and so was that guy. People from the Li Family were nicknamed Spotted Snakes. I was also curious at the time. Why did they act like this since they were all from the Li Family? Later I learned that although everyone was from the Li Family, they were They belong to different forces, so they have different purposes. As soon as the spotted snake walked in front of you, he slipped out and did the opposite of you."
Liu Tang was startled and said, "You mean, he dug out the person I bought into,"
Shi Yong nodded and said: "Not only did we dig out the people, but we didn't even leave the clothes and armor of the officers and soldiers behind. They were all taken away."
"Impossible, what's the use of what he wants? Is he trying to inform the government?" Liu Tang's heart became more and more worried.
Shi Yong glanced at Liu Tang, turned around and went to the place where the armor was buried, stretched out his hand and started digging, and said to Liu Tang: "I will prove to you right now that what I said is true."
Liu Tang followed up, and the knife in his hand was slowly put away behind his back. His bright eyes fell on the place dug by Shi Yong, but when he dug to the depth where Liu Tang was originally buried, The clothes and armor were still missing. Sure enough, they had been taken away.
Shi Yong stood up and patted the dirt on his hands, pulled off the black cloth covering his face, and continued to say to Liu Tang: "Would you like to go to the corpse pit over there and dig it up for you?"
Liu Tang did not move or speak.
Shi Yong walked over there and pulled out his willow-leaf snake knife from the ground, wiped off the dirt on it, and put it back into the scabbard. Shi Yong looked at Liu Tang and said, "I followed the spotted snake all the way back to the Li Mansion. , However, the atmosphere in the Li Mansion seemed to have changed. Everyone had serious faces and went to Wu Anqing's yard. When I also sneaked into Wu Anqing's yard, I discovered the bodies of the officers and soldiers from the Spotted Snake Bar. I brought all my clothes and armor to Wu Anqing’s courtyard, and also summoned all the disciples from the Li family,”
Liu Tang felt in his heart that there must be some conspiracy, otherwise how could he be framed by that guy.
Shi Yong continued: "I have been lying in wait there for a long time and listened. What did Wu Anqing say? He pointed at the corpse on the ground and said that Liu Tang secretly committed suicide on the way. One of the envoys from Shaohua Mountain was buried in the old courtyard bought by the master. Here, you want to put the blame on the master so that you can use the help of Shaohua Mountain to get rid of the Li family. At the same time, you also said that you secretly colluded with the elders and wanted to use this matter to harm the brothers."
Liu Tang became a little angry when he heard this. It was strange that those former brothers came up with killing moves without saying a word. Liu Tang couldn't help asking: "But, he instigated the disciples like this, why don't they think about what I have?" Reason for doing this,"
Shi Yong took up Liu Tang's words and said: "Wu Anqing is such a shrewd person. He has already thought about it for you. He said that you, Liu Tang, have been coveting his sister, Mrs. Li, for a long time. He also said that you want to get rid of Li." Sir, come and occupy the magpie's nest with a dove,"
"He's talking nonsense," Liu Tang was completely angered by this Wu Anqing and couldn't help but roar out loud.
"Of course I know he's talking nonsense, but Wu Anqing usually hides his fox's tail too deeply. If I hadn't known what you were doing before, I would have been fooled by his impassioned words, but , just when everyone was 70% or 80% convinced, someone came to report that you and Li Yan had slipped back from the mist of the moon halfway, so everyone followed Wu Anqing's arrangement to ambush on all sides in the inner courtyard, but you guy still... You fell into someone's trick and went to a place you shouldn't have gone, and now everyone is convinced," Shi Yong said, feeling a little aggrieved for Liu Tang.
Liu Tang became anxious when he heard this, and said: "How did I know they had such a trick? Master Li Gu asked me to gather the brothers to kill the elders, but I didn't expect that when I returned to Li Mansion, one of them There was no one there, and they were still in the dark, refusing to agree to anyone I called. I felt something was wrong. I thought it was the elder who acted preemptively and destroyed the door of our Li Mansion, so I was worried about the safety of Mr. Li's family, so I acted rashly. He walked into the backyard, how did I know he had such deep intentions..."
Shi Yong took a deep breath and said: "Anyway, now you have a hard time defending yourself. I will rescue you. I'm afraid this is what worries them the most. If what they think is right, they will take action against Li Mian now." Well, I didn't think about it when I rescued you, that is, I only wanted to get to this level when I entered the courtyard." As he said this, Shi Yong grabbed Liu Tang's wrist and said, "We have been delayed a lot just now. It's time, we must go to Liushui Pavilion quickly, otherwise everything will be too late."
Liu Tang remembered that he had been entangled just now, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart. However, it was because of the circumstances and he had to do it. At this moment, Liu Tang put his head deeper, and holding the mountain-cutting knife upside down, Shi Yong pulled him straight to the flowing water pavilion.
While running, Liu Tang gasped and asked Shi Yong: "It's just the two of us who are going. I'm afraid we can't fight those people. If there's anything that can reveal Wu Anqing's true face, that would be great."
Shi Yong didn't respond to him, but kept running forward without stopping.
When Liu Tang saw that Shi Yong didn't speak, he felt embarrassed, but he also knew that neither Shi Yong nor he had anything to do with Wu Anqing, and it was useless to say anything. Liu Tang breathed roughly and murmured, "You have to give it a damn." "Yes," he picked up his breath and ran after Shi Yong.
【Liu Shui Pavilion】
"Quick, Third Son, don't take those porcelain paintings. Quickly pack up the money from the accounting room and go to the backyard." Li Mian was running around in the Liushui Building sweating profusely. He just said that he planned to take the porcelain paintings as well. Zhang San, who was taken away, pointed to Li Si who was about to cover the stove with ashes and said: "Xiao Si, hurry up and prepare three more carriages and horses. We also need guys who can go a long way. It's too late." Now, how can I still have time to take care of this fire?"
Li Sige knelt on the ground, raised his head and looked at Li Mian blankly, and replied weakly: "If you don't cover the fire, if the wind blows away and the house is lit on fire, then..."
"Then let it burn to its heart's content. If you don't act quickly, everyone will starve to death in the street," Li Yan yelled anxiously, then quickly walked out of the backyard and directed everyone in the Liushui Pavilion to move their belongings and pack their weapons and equipment. .
Everyone in the Liushui Pavilion was in a state of panic. Li Yan stood in the main courtyard and looked at his men running back and forth. He suddenly felt that the building was empty and things were empty. Where would there be no chaos? Dazhi, there was another happy gathering without farewell. Li Yan clenched his fists tightly. What worried him most was Liu Tang. He didn’t know if the disciples from the Li family he brought with him had already killed the elders. , killing officers and soldiers is a rebellion, and the security chief of a town in Guanxi Town ordered someone to kill the elders. This will really become a big news for the people of the area before tea and after dinner, and will even alarm the state government and even the court. By then , everyone in the Li family is full of sinners, and if they are caught, they will destroy the family and confiscate the property.
He started to do this rebellion as soon as he said it. Although he still had a little courage, his heart really couldn't bear it all of a sudden. Li Mian secretly grasped the placket of his left chest with his hand. Under that position was a heart that was racing against time. With his heart beating violently, Li Yan walked to the side room of Liushui Pavilion, where he rested. He quickly walked to the standing cabinet, took out all the cloth inside with both hands, and finally revealed the stickers. Bring the double-edged sword from the closet.
It was a broadsword with a green dragon carving on it. Two sharp blades spit out from the dragon's mouth. This broadsword was quite unusual. It weighed a hundred kilograms. It was forged and beaten with fine tungsten steel for half a year. However, since After taking charge of this flowing pavilion, I was busy taking care of business during the day and counting gold and silver at night. There were still a few days every month when I had to accompany friends and guests from all over the place, so I just put this time aside. After a year and a half, people become lazy, and when I touched this knife again after five years, it was really like seeing an old man who looked familiar but couldn't name him in the crowd. friend.
Li Yan gently stroked the blade of the knife. When his fingers touched the handle, he suddenly grasped it tightly and slowly took it out of the cabinet. He held it in front of his eyes and pulled out the knife with a whoosh. The snow-white light of the knife flashed in an instant. Flashed into his own eyes...
Brother, we are together again. Tonight, I want to take you with me.
