But Li Wen was here after all, so he couldn't take action against Xu Wenqing now. He turned to Wu Chengsi and said, "Before taking action, I have a question..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly saw a flash of gray shadow. Zhuge Sanyuan came back carrying Ouyang Chong, threw him to the ground, and sat down next to Wu Chengsi.
When Li Ai looked at Ouyang Chong, his pupils shrank slightly.
Ouyang Chong was lying on the ground like a dead dog at this moment, his expression was sluggish, his mouth was full of blood, and he was motionless.
Li Ai originally didn't know much about the people in the martial arts world, but since she met Ouyang Chong, she took the initiative to inquire about him and found out that Ouyang Chong was a top master in the martial arts world.
However, at this moment, he was beaten into this state in a short period of time.
Is Ouyang Chong too weak?
Or is the opponent too strong?
"Who are you?" Li Ai stared at Zhuge Sanyuan and asked again.
Li Wen also looked horrified and thought to himself: "Butler Wu and the others were killed by this old man, right?"
Zhuge Sanyuan said calmly: "I would like to ask how His Highness King Fan Yang could get together with a scum like Ouyang Chong."
Li Ai sneered: "No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you will never leave here today."
Zhuge Sanyuan shook his head and ignored him.
Wu Chengsi smiled and said: "Didn't you just say that you wanted to ask me something? In fact, I know what you want to ask."
"Oh? You know?"
Wu Chengsi said leisurely: "We clearly found your sentinel last night, but we still stayed in this inn waiting for you to come over. You feel strange, don't you?"
Seeing his expression, Li Ai felt a little uneasy in her heart, and said coldly: "Yes, I would like to hear why you chose to stay here. Do you really think that I can't do anything to you?"
Wu Chengsi said: "I just want to ask you a question."
"What words?"
"Why did you kill your good brother, Wu Wei!"
A look of panic suddenly appeared on Li Ai's face, and he said sternly: "It was obviously you who killed Brother Wu, but you still want to blame it on me!"
Wu Chengsi said leisurely: "Li Ai, I also know something about your situation. Although you are the son of King Lu, your mother's status is low, so your father did not take her to the capital."
Li Ai's expression changed drastically, and he said sternly: "Shut up! Shut up for me!"
Wu Chengsi smiled and continued: "You are indeed a filial son. You have been accompanying your mother in this remote place for so many years."
Li Ai was shocked and angry: "You, how do you know this?"
Li Wen on the side opened his mouth wide and looked at Wu Chengsi in surprise.
Wu Chengsi did not answer and continued: "Wu Wei's father died of illness when he was young. You two are dependent on your mother, and your mother happened to have the same strange disease, so the relationship between you two has become as close as that of brothers."
He paused, his voice turned cold, and said: "It's just that Wu Wei at that time never dreamed that you would kill him!"
Li Ai said angrily: "That's nonsense! The person who killed him was... you!"
Wu Chengsi looked at Li Ai sadly and said, "Actually, I know why you wanted to kill him."
"What are you all still doing? Arrest him, arrest him immediately!" Li Ai said angrily.
Just as the guards were about to take action, an old voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Everyone, stop it!"
Following this voice, three people suddenly walked into the inn door, two of them were women with gray hair, and the last one was Zhuge Nan.
"Sir, I brought them here." Zhugenan said with a smile.
Wu Chengsi nodded and looked at the two old women, who were the mothers of Wu Wei and Li Ai.
One of them was short, fat, mentally weak, and seemed to be seriously ill. He was only able to stand with the support of a maid. Wu Chengsi knew that she was Mrs. Wu.
Another tall old woman should obviously be sick, but at this moment she didn't need anyone's help and walked straight to Li Ai with a rather stern look in her eyes.
"Ai'er, they said you killed Wei'er to save our illness, right?"
Li Ai said hurriedly: "Mother, don't listen to their nonsense. I didn't kill Brother Wu!"
Mrs. Wu next to her said feebly: "Is my Wei'er really dead? Is he really dead? Tell me quickly!"
Li Ai looked away and whispered: "Yes. I originally planned to catch the murderer of Brother Wu before telling you, so that I can give you an explanation."
Wu Chengsi said coldly: "Mrs. Li, judging from your physical condition, I think your illness has been cured. Do you know how you recovered from your illness?"
Mrs. Li moved her eyes away from Li Ai, looked at Wu Chengsi for a while, and said slowly: "Of course Mr. Ouyang cured him for me."
"That old Mr. Ouyang must have set some conditions for you to treat your illness, right?"
Mrs. Li frowned and said, "Who are you?"
Zhuge Nan interrupted: "Don't ask too much. If you want to know how Wu Wei died, just reply quickly."
Mrs. Li raised her eyebrows but did not answer.
Mrs. Wu hurriedly said: "He made a condition, saying that if the disease is cured, we will help him test the medicine, and we will also pay him the medical fee as a medical fee. At that time, Wei'er refused to agree, and I... I even talked to him
There was a fight."
After saying this long series of words, Mrs. Wu seemed to be unable to keep up with her breathing and was panting slightly.
Xu Wenqing exclaimed: "So the reason why Wu Wei and you quarreled was because of this?"
Mrs. Wu seemed to realize something and said in a trembling voice: "Could it be...could it be..."
Wu Chengsi sighed softly: "Mrs. Wu, why don't you think about it, if there are really a few drug stores, how could your son not agree?"
"Could it be...could that old Mr. Ouyang have other conditions?" Mrs. Wu held one hand tightly in front of her chest.
Li Ai said sternly: "Aunt Wu, don't let this man talk nonsense. He killed Brother Wu and confuses right and wrong here. Someone comes and takes him down!"
Just as the guards were about to step forward, Zhuge Sanyuan said with a smile: "Madams, if you want to know the truth, why don't you ask Mr. Ouyang in person?"
Mrs. Wu hurriedly shouted: "Stop it!"
Everyone did not stop and continued to move forward until Mrs. Li shouted: "Stop!"
Everyone stopped and looked back at Li Ai. Seeing that he had a gloomy face and didn't speak, they all stopped moving forward.
Mrs. Li looked at Zhuge Sanyuan and asked, "Where is Mr. Ouyang?"
Zhuge Sanyuan came to Ouyang Chong, picked him up, and said, "Brother Ouyang, you can speak for yourself!"
The two ladies were immediately startled. Although they also noticed a man lying on the ground, their hair was unkempt and his face was pale. Neither of them recognized that he was the old Mr. Ouyang who had an air of immortality.
After taking a closer look, I realized that it was indeed me.
Mrs. Wu hurriedly asked: "Mr. Ouyang, tell me, what conditions did you offer?"
Ouyang Chong closed his eyes and didn't answer.
Zhuge Sanyuan smiled and said: "Brother Ouyang, you must have heard of my splitting muscles and bones, right? Do you want to try it?"
The muscles on Ouyang Chong's face trembled, and he opened his eyes and said, "Anything else...anything to ask? I'll ask them to test the medicine for me, and I'll cure your poison. It's just...that simple."
"Poison? What poison?" Mrs. Li asked in shock.
Li Ai suddenly raised his head and stared at Mrs. Li, and said word by word: "Mother, can you take Aunt Wu back first? I will tell you the whole truth after my son has finished handling the matters here."
Mrs. Li hesitated.
Mrs. Wu had already become suspicious and hissed: "No, I want to know now who killed my Wei'er!"
Ouyang Chong knew that he would definitely die. After seeing Li Ai's painful expression, he suddenly felt a sense of joy and thought: "If you are going to die, why not drag a prince into the water? Wouldn't it be great!"
He said loudly: "Don't you understand? You are not sick at all, but you have been poisoned by me... cough cough." He spoke too quickly and started coughing violently.
Seeing that he was still useful, Zhuge Sanyuan massaged him a few times, and Ouyang Chong's complexion suddenly improved a lot.
Zhuge Nan urged: "What kind of poison and how did you inject it? Please tell me clearly now!"
Ouyang Chong said slowly: "When I came to Taizhou, I was a little short of money, so I wanted to get some money. It happened that I found a guarded spring on a mountain outside the city."
After hearing this, Mrs. Li's face changed drastically and she stared at Ouyang Chong closely.
Ouyang Chong continued: "After asking around, I found out that this spring water was enclosed by several wealthy families in the city and used as a special spring water for making tea."
Mrs. Li lost her voice and said: "It's Xueyang Spring on Wutai Mountain. Did you poison the spring water?"
Ouyang Chong laughed and said: "Yes, I happened to have developed a new poison at that time, and this poison was only effective on women. I was looking for someone to give it a try, so I poisoned the spring water for three days at night.
