('In the yard of Zhang Family Ancestral Hall. After seeing the first message cannon, Tie Qiu went in to report the message. Several other guards seemed to be relieved and began to chat outside. Suddenly, green fireworks were released in the air again

, there was a guard who happened to be facing the west. Without any comment, he was shocked when he saw the fireworks.

Pointing to the horizon, he said, "Look! Another firework came out."

The other few turned around and saw clearly, and said in puzzlement: "My lord, you said you saw fireworks in the sky, so you went in to report them. Did you say it was one or two?" [Search for the latest updates at z

Several people looked at each other and all shook their heads. However, one of the guards said: "It doesn't matter if it's one or two, just go in and report back."

"That's right." The first guard who saw the signal nodded and said, "You guys wait here, I'll go in first and report back, and then I'll continue talking when I come out."

After saying that, he ran to the door of the hall in a few steps, bowed and said: "Master Qi, another signal has just been detected in the west."

"What?" Hearing this, he was startled and confused. He gave Yin Zhu a signal, but why did another one come out? He quickly asked: "You read that right?"

"No, you guys saw clearly that there was indeed another firework blooming in the sky just now, and it was still green." The guard said truthfully.

"Is there another green one?" Yue Su frowned, thought for a while, then looked at Xiong Tingbi, "Master Xiong, what do you think this is?"

Yue Su didn't know, and Xiong Tingbi didn't know even more. There was a look of embarrassment on his face, and he shook his head.

Yang Yishan took a step closer to Yue Su and said, "Teacher, will something happen?"

"It's impossible. If our arrangement goes wrong, how can something happen to so many people? Well, don't scare yourself, just wait and see what happens. No matter what the outcome is, our people will definitely come back as soon as possible.

Report. Even if the battle is defeated, it doesn’t matter. What was robbed was just a pile of rotten stones." Yue Su said calmly.

"What my mentor said is true, but there are thousands of people at both ends. No matter how strong the rebels are, we should not lose." After Yang Yishan finished speaking, he stepped aside.

Time passed by minute by minute, and there was silence in the hall.

At this moment, shouting suddenly sounded outside the courtyard gate. "Who is it? This is a place sealed by the government. It is forbidden to rely on... ah..."

Before the man could finish speaking, he screamed.

The courtyard door was sealed, and there were officers and soldiers standing guard outside the door. Screams could be heard, and it was obvious that someone wanted to force admission. Next, there was a series of sounds of weapons clashing, and a series of screams.

However, these sounds soon stopped, and then there was the sound of banging on the door.

Yue Su and others in the hall heard clearly. Yue Su quickly stood up and rushed to the door in a few steps. Tie Qiu, Yang Yishan, Xiong Tingbi and others followed immediately, and dozens of personal guards all ran to the door.

Under the steps, a weapon was revealed.

"Bang!" As soon as the guards inside formed their formation, the gate to the courtyard was knocked open, and a large group of people rushed in. This group of people was densely packed, and judging by their posture, there could be at least more than 300 of them. The leader was

The person is a young master, Wen Sheng. This person is none other than Mr. Ye.

Surrounded by everyone, Mr. Ye slowly stepped forward and stopped when he was still twenty steps away from the hall. Holding a folding fan, Mr. Ye held his hand towards Yue Su and said with a smile: "Master Yue, don't be sick.

Huh?"

"You are..." The more Yue Su looked at the person, the more familiar he became. When he thought about it carefully, it was the little eunuch he saw in the Jade Pavilion. Moreover, he also felt that this person looked like another person - it was Ju'er.

"You are Mr. Ye, and you are also Ju'er..." Yue Su said deeply.

"Sir Yue has really good eyesight, but it's a pity that it's a bit ruined. If you could have recognized me when I threw myself into a trap, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to meet today." Mr. Ye said with a smile. There was a hint of laughter in his tone.

, full of pride.

"I guess I was mistaken. I didn't recognize that Mr. Ye was here that day. It was really rude. Mr. Ye is here today. What's the point of doing this?" Yue Su said lightly.

"Sir Yue is really pretending to be confused. What else can he do here? Firstly, he is here to collect the Zhang family's ancestral property, and secondly, he is here to collect the head from your neck." Mr. Ye still had a smile on his face.

"I'm afraid it's not that easy to get my Yue Su's head." Yue Su sneered and said, "As for the Zhang family's ancestral property, I have sent people to transport it to Luoyang. I'm afraid you, sir, may come to take advantage of it."

"My lord, you can really joke. You only have dozens of people at your disposal. The strength of the weak is already clear. Unless your ribs have wings, you will never leave alive. Is the ancestral property of the Zhang family really shipped to Luoyang? My lord.

He really treats us as three-year-old naughty boys. Hahahaha..." Mr. Ye laughed, and then said: "I wonder if you saw the fireworks in the sky just now. That first one is probably a reinforcement signal designed by you.

, plan to join forces in two attacks and catch us all in one fell swoop. I wonder if my guess is correct?"

"Mr. Ye is really smart. According to you, the second firework is his masterpiece." Yue Su asked with a smile.

"Your Excellency is also a dragon and a phoenix among men, and his wisdom is no less than that of Ye. He almost trapped us in a urn. Fortunately, there are people who know you better than me and know that you will not take people's wealth arbitrarily, let alone their ancestral property, the gold that was escorted

, there must be a fraud, and the purpose is to catch us all in one fell swoop. Therefore, I asked someone to check the truth first to see if the box contained gold, and prepared two cannons for him. One was red, and the other was red.

It's green. If it's red, it means it's really gold. We'll try our best to snatch it. If it's green, it means it's not gold. It's a trap set for us by adults.

The real gold must still be in the Zhang Family Ancestral Hall. The gold is here, and the Lord must be sitting here, waiting for the news that I have been captured. Therefore, I came uninvited, one to get the gold, and the other to get the Lord's head."

Mr. Ye said proudly.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Ye would be so smart and see through Yue Su's plan. I admire him, I admire him... But I don't know which master knows me so well. I really want to meet him, but it would be a pity to die.

." Yue Su said, staring at Mr. Ye.

"How can I not fulfill your last wish for you?" After saying that, Mr. Ye waved back and said: "Liang Maosheng, come out and let me see you. I heard that you are still involved in a case and are being investigated.

Is Lord Yue wanted? Now stand in front of Lord Yue and see what he can do to you? Hahahaha..."

Following Mr. Ye's whisper, a young scholar came up, cupped his hands towards Yue Su, and said with a smile: "Student Liang Maosheng has met the governor."

That's what he said, but there was no respect in his tone.

"Are you Liang Maosheng who designed to kill Zhang Xiang?" Yue Su asked coldly.

"It's a student." Liang Maosheng said with a smile.

"How did you see through the headquarters' plan?" Yue Su asked in confusion.

"The lady's picture was stolen by Mr. Ye. Naturally, my lord will not be willing to accept it. It is understandable that he came to the Zhang family ancestral hall first. Even if he digs the ancestral hall, it is reasonable, but there are two things that are not in line with your character.

Your Excellency is praised by all the people, and his behavior has always been upright. Even if he takes away people's property to relieve the victims, he still kills corrupt officials and local tyrants and evil gentry. The evidence is conclusive and cannot be refuted. But this time, in order to unearth the Zhang family

Putting people of the Zhang family in jail and then forcibly transporting their ancestral property is obviously not in line with the name of Qingtian. If others do this kind of thing, Xiaosheng will have no doubts about it, but if an adult does it, Xiaosheng will never doubt it.

I disagree. Therefore, the only explanation is that the adults made the illusion in order to lure us into taking the bait. When Mr. Ye was about to send someone to rob him, Xiao Ke stopped him and told Mr. Ye that he immediately agreed.

After understanding Xiaosheng's point of view, it can be seen that your reputation is recognized by everyone." At this point, Liang Maosheng deliberately coughed twice and said: "But we don't dare to judge lightly, so we still have people go to find out the truth.

Unfortunately, there were too many officers and soldiers escorting the convoy. If we hadn't rushed them all, but sent more than a hundred people, we might not have been able to get close to the convoy, and we would have all been annihilated. Fortunately, Mr. Ye had other ideas and invited Lord Zhang's wife

Go out and lead the Zhang family members to block the road and disrupt the situation, so that our people can rush to the side of the convoy, open the box above and find out what's going on."

After saying these words, Liang Maosheng also laughed proudly.

"It's indeed a good plan, but I don't know why you even told the truth about these arrangements?" Yue Su asked calmly.

"I will not hide anything from a dying person. How could it be you, my lord, who could trace the slightest clue to Zhang Rong and dig me out? This really makes the students admire me."

"Since you are willing to tell the truth, and I also want to be a clear person, can you tell me how you poisoned Zhang Xiang and why you poisoned him? It cannot be because Zhang Xiang is against you.

Wait until there are obstacles in coveting the Zhang family's ancestral property. Also, how did you persuade Mrs. Zhang to lead her tribe to intercept the government troops? She is a countess, why would she join forces with you and harm her own tribe?" Yue Su was curious.

asked.

"The poisoning of Zhang Xiang was not related to the Zhang family's ancestral property. At that time, the villain did not know that Mr. Ye planned this, just for personal grudges."

"Oh? Personal grudge?" Yue Su was even more puzzled.

"That's right." Liang Maosheng sneered and said, "I'm not going to hide it from you, sir. Xiaosheng was originally from a military family. Thanks to his father's favor, he was promoted to a guerrilla general, so he could study and his family was fairly well off. So he joined the Dragon Slayer Gang.

It’s really a matter of gnashing of teeth and resentment, and always redressing grievances.”

"Grinding teeth only to hate and avenging injustice everywhere? Tell me, what kind of hatred and what kind of injustice can force the son of the imperial guerrilla general to join the Dragon Slayer Gang. What does this have to do with Zhang Xiang?" Yue Su asked doubtfully.

asked.

"My hatred and injustice are all because of Zhang Guozhu!" Liang Maosheng said through gritted teeth: "When Zhang Guozhu was the commander-in-chief of Jizhen, my father was a guerrilla general under his command.

At the beginning of the war, the leader of the Anda tribe, Tali Ke, led his troops to assist and harassed the Taohe River and other places in the Ming Dynasty. This was called the Taohe Rebellion. The imperial court sent Zhang Guozhu to bring troops to quell the rebellion. However, Zhang Guozhu was greedy for life and feared death and did not dare to fight, so he had to secretly

An agreement was reached with Zalik, and the grain and salary were sent to Zalik. Then, in the name of the three armies not using the food and grass first, three thousand troops were sent to escort it. In fact, it was sent into the tiger's mouth for Zalik to snatch it. In this battle, the three thousand troops escorting the food and salary were killed.

They were all killed in battle. As a result, Zhilike withdrew his troops, and Zhang Guozhu was awarded a count for his contribution to quelling the rebellion. Only the three thousand innocent souls were buried outside the wall. The guerrilla general who led his troops to escort food and wages was my father. Although this matter was concealed,

But there are a few people who know the inside story. I originally thought that my father died in battle, and I was very proud of it. However, I later learned from my father’s friends in the army that my father was actually betrayed and used as a scapegoat. As a son of man, I hate this hatred.

, why don’t I want to avenge him. It’s just that Zhang Guozhu served the border and became an earl. With my ability, how can I avenge him? Even if I come forward to report, who will believe it and my life will be wasted. By chance, I

He joined the Dragon-Slaying Gang, and later met Zhang Xiang in Luoyang. He remembered his father's hatred, so he took the initiative to kill Zhang Xiang."

"What did I say? If there was no deep hatred, how could you use such a vicious poison to kill people? But I don't know what Mingtang your poison was, and why did it take so long for you to die after you were poisoned?"

"That is a king bee venom recorded in ancient books. This bee is very venomous, but it can only sting a person once in a lifetime, and then it will die. However, the book records that after this venom stings the human body, the person will not die immediately.

There are no signs at all. Only at noon, when the sun is the strongest, will the poison take effect and kill you immediately. I accidentally went up the mountain and found the king bee, and was accidentally stung by it. Fortunately, I have read this book and know this.

The poison was so severe that I made a quick decision and cut off the stabbed muscle with a knife. I was lucky enough to survive. I extracted the poison from the meat and made it into powder. I used it as a laxative that day and gave it to Zhang Rong. He was indeed hit.

He poured it into the wine and poisoned Zhang Xiang to death. Hahahaha... Mr. Yue, what else do you want to ask? By the way, don't you want to know why Mrs. Zhang cooperated with our Dragon Slayer Gang? This matter

Please also ask Mr. Ye, if he is in a good mood, he may be able to tell you."

After listening to Liang Maosheng's story, Yue Su nodded and said: "A man who makes quick decisions and can cut off his body to save his life is indeed a character. If I can lose to you, I, Yue Su, admit it."

With that said, Yue Su hugged Mr. Ye's fist and said: "Mr. Ye, can you answer Yue Su's last question, which is why Mrs. Zhang cooperates with your Dragon Slaying Gang?"

Yue Su simply couldn't imagine the majestic countess cooperating with gangsters.

"I have already answered so many questions from Mr. Yue, so I will tell you the last one, even if it fulfills Mr. Yue's last wish. Hahahaha..." Mr. Ye said and laughed again, "But Mr. Yue

, don’t think that by stalling for time, you can wait for reinforcements. After I answer your question, I will take action. Are you going to kill me at the slightest provocation and end it on your own, or are you going to put all your efforts and fight to the death with us?"
