Yi Song

Chapter 64 Don’t vent your anger and never make mistakes

Gao Shiqi was taken to the backyard. His head was missing, one of his shoes was missing, and his clothes were torn in several places. He was in a very embarrassed state.

When he saw Liu Guozhang, he knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Little Gao Shiqi, come here to beg for work! I have something confidential to tell Liu Erlang, and I beg Liu Erlang to save my life."

"Gao Shiqi, you are really careless. I mentioned you just now, and you came here all by yourself." Liu Guozhang stared at him and asked calmly, like a cat teasing a mouse, not in any hurry. Those so-called confidential matters.

"Did you do something big in the Fan Mansion Courtyard today?"

Liu Guozhang's question made Gao Shiqi somewhat unable to react.

Are the questions from superiors so unreasonable and difficult to grasp?
  Cai Laowu is like this, and Liu Erlang is like this.

"Xiao Xiao was young and frail and couldn't do anything. It was all Cai Shuiquan's doing. He first poisoned Fan Sitong, Chen Qifai and others, then stabbed Xiao to death, and then pretended to be Xiao and poisoned him. Chen Qifai fought back before he died. The illusion of an assassination.”

Gao Shiqi lowered his head and answered honestly.

"Then how do you escape?"

"I told Cai Shuiquan that I knew clues about Fengcheng's belongings. He didn't dare to neglect, so he stabbed Fan Sitong, Chen Qifa and others, took me back to Cai Mansion through a secret passage, and temporarily detained me in the foyer side courtyard. I ran out whenever I could."

Gao Shiqi deliberately emphasized the words "clues to the objects on Fengcheng's body" very strongly.

Liu Guozhang didn't seem to hear it, and asked himself: "The young man in the inner courtyard of Fan Sitong was also silenced. Did you and Cai Shuiquan do it?"

Gao Shiqi suddenly raised his head, his face changed drastically, "The young man was also silenced? How is that possible? Cai Shuiquan was busy poisoning and killing people, while the young man was just anxious to save his life and didn't bother to take care of the inner courtyard at all."

It was not done by the Cai family.

Liu Guozhang and Murong Shisan looked at each other and knew something.

"It wasn't the Cai family who did it, then who did it? The old, weak, women and children can be killed. It's so damn inhumane!" Zhang Meng asked.

"If the Cai family didn't do it, then it was Gao Qiu who did it. He founded the Wuyou Gang and has been in his hands for more than ten years. I don't know how many hidden stakes were buried. Killing twenty or thirty women and children is a very simple matter. "

Liu Guozhang waved his hand nonchalantly and continued to ask: "Gao Shiqi, when I put the three of you on the boat going south, why did you come back again?"

"The small prostitution contract and the whole family are all in the hands of Cai Mansion, where can they escape?" Gao Shiqi said sadly.

Xu Xiniang's eyes showed pity, and she suddenly said: "This little brother must have dry mouth after talking for so long. Let me pour him a cup of tea."

Little girls are kind-hearted and easily deceived by bad boys.

Liu Guozhang waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Thank you, girl." Gao Shiqi took the tea, drank it in one breath, and thanked her without any words.

Seven or eight more questions were asked, some related to Liu Guozhang, and some had nothing to do with him.

Gao Shiqi answered one by one with a calm expression.

Liu Guozhang's expression became more and more easy-going.

"Where are the two boys who were released with you?"

"After I broke up with them, we went our separate ways. I don't know their whereabouts."

Liu Guozhang nodded, "Do you know the clues to Fengcheng's objects?"

Gao Shiqi lowered his head, with joy flashing in his eyes. When he raised his head, he looked even more sad. He kowtowed twice: "I know, please Liu Erlang to save my life. I am willing to give you clues."

Liu Guozhang stared at him and remained silent.

Murong Shisan had already walked to the window, reached out to push open the window, and looked up at the bright moon in the night sky with his hands behind his back.

The room was extremely silent, and the moonlight shone on the ground like frost and water.

The autumn insects in the yard kept chirping like oars cutting through the water.

"Let's do this, I'll put you down first." Liu Guozhang suddenly said.

"Lingguangyuan is a female crown Taoist temple. It's inconvenient for us to live there. We bought a courtyard next door. Let's go live there first and make a long-term plan."

Gao Shiqi looked up at Liu Guozhang, puzzled.

Murong Shisan also turned around and stared at Liu Guozhang.

"Big Eyes, let's send Shi Qi there and stay here first."

"Okay." Zhang Meng never asked why Liu Guozhang said it, he just followed it.

Liu Guozhang and Zhang Meng walked out, one on each side, holding on to Gao Shiqi's arms.

"The Cai family must be looking for you everywhere, it's better to be careful." Liu Guozhang said thoughtfully.

Gao Shiqi nodded repeatedly and walked obediently between the two.

Seeing the three of them going out, Murong Shisan lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, then reached out to pick up the Qingfeng sword, lifted up his front, and followed them out. After exiting the right corner gate of Lingguang Courtyard and walking a dozen or so steps, Liu Guozhang winked at Zhang Meng and released his hand almost at the same time.

Gao Shiqi took three or four steps forward alone, suddenly realized something was wrong, and was about to turn around and come back. I saw a flash of white light, and his head flew into the sky. He finally turned around in the air and looked at Liu Guozhang with horror on his face.

With a pop, Gao Shiqi's head fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and froze with his mouth and eyes open.

Liu Guozhang squatted down, lifted up the skirt of his clothes on the body of Gao Shiqi who fell on the ground, wiped the single sword clean, and inserted it back into the scabbard on Zhang Meng's waist.

"Brother, what are you using my knife for?"

"This guy is not worthy of using my Hundred Flowers Slash."

Murong Shisan, who was catching up, saw this and slowly walked forward: "Erlang, what are you doing?"

"'Don't show anger, never make mistakes twice', I will not make the same mistake twice. I let him go when he destroyed Manjintang, but Cai Laowu instigated the Wuyou Gang to frame me again and again. I used to think it was Fang Tianbao who betrayed me, but it was actually him."

Seeing Murong Shisan's questioning look, Liu Guozhang shrugged.

"I don't regret letting him go. I can't kill innocent people indiscriminately because of something that hasn't happened yet. Being kind and doing good deeds requires taking risks just like doing bad deeds."

Murong Shisan nodded approvingly and glanced at the head and body: "Don't you want to know the secret of Fengcheng's items that Cai Laowu has been pursuing?"

"Haha, this guy is very treacherous. Eight out of ten sentences are true and two are false. The two most crucial ones are false."

"Ah, brother, where did you hear about this?"

"I asked him about the whereabouts of the two teenagers, and he said they broke up and didn't know their whereabouts. Liar! With his cunning personality, how could he not worry about the two teenagers being found by the Cai family and expose what he said in front of Cai Laowu? lie?
  There must be some precautions, but he broke up without even thinking about it. Haha, is he such an aboveboard person? "

Zhang Meng shook his head: "If he is upright, all the black things will become white. Brother, where are those two young men?"

"Killed by him." Murong Shisan rushed to answer, and then asked, "What about the second key point?"

"I asked him if he really knew Fengcheng's secret, and he immediately replied that he knew and was lying."

"why?"

"I have only been in contact with this scholar Fengcheng for a day or two, but I know that he is a smart, cautious, righteous, determined person who is willing to die for justice. How could Gao Shiqi be easily deceived into secrets?"

Liu Guozhang pointed at Gao Shiqi's body and said: "Since you know that this guy is a liar, you just don't bother to ask questions, so as not to be led by his untruthful words.

Big Eye, wrap up this guy's head and send it to Grand Master Cai's Mansion, saying it is a gift from me to Cai Laowu. "

"Yes."

"Old Ding! Old Ding!" Liu Guozhang called the name of the gardener and disciple of Lingguang Academy.

"Erlang, the old man is here." Lao Ding bent over and trotted over, answering with a smile.

"Old Ding, there are ten coins here. Find someone to transport this body outside the city, dig a hole and bury it!"

"Okay!" Old Ding's face smiled like a chrysanthemum.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Group after group of fireworks exploded in the air, illuminating half of Kaifeng City colorfully.

Xu Xiniang, who was sitting in the backyard garden of Lingguang Yuan, raised her head and looked at it dreamily.

"it's beautiful!"

Then he turned around and asked: "Master, what day is it today? The fireworks are several times more numerous and more beautiful than usual."

"The shops in Bianhe and Caihe were very happy to know that the Wuyou Gang was wiped out, and they spontaneously pooled their money to buy fireworks." Liu Guozhang explained.

"The Wuyou Gang was a major scourge in Kaifeng City. They were destroyed by Erlang. Of course everyone is happy." Xu Xiniang glanced at Liu Guozhang quietly and said shyly and happily.

"The Wuyou Gang left today, and the Wuhe Gang will come tomorrow. What's there to celebrate?" Murong Shisan said quietly.

"If you can be happy for a while, be happy for a while. From ancient times to the present, haven't people lived in this gap of expectations?" Liu Guozhang said.

His words made Murong Shisan look crazy at the fireworks.

Amidst the colorful fireworks, Zhang Meng rode his horse to the archway of Cai Taishi's residence, threw a round bag of stuff in, and shouted loudly to several panicked disciples of Cai's residence.

"This is a gift from my brother to Cai Laowu! Please accept it!"

There were several loud bangs and several huge fireworks exploded in the air, causing the people all over the city to raise their heads and watch in fascination, and burst into cheers and cheers.

In the Baihuqiao residence in the north wing of the outer city, a group of men in black sneaked into a courtyard.

"Who!"

There was a chaotic sound of soldiers banging, which was buried in the deafening fireworks and cheers.

After twenty or thirty breaths, the movement in the room stopped, and someone said solemnly: "Fu Qilang, I will ask you to answer, otherwise, I will let your family get together in Huangquan."
