C406 Freedom Fourth Master
Ouyang Guang didn't say anything else. He led Little Zhuge and Lee Jingyun into a room on the east side.
There was a man sitting on a bench. There was a sword on the wooden platform next to him. A big golden flag with the word 'Martial' was hanging on the wall. Ouyang Guang said in a low voice: "This is my father, Ouyang Tongyu. "
Ouyang Tongyu's complexion was not good. His eyes were green and black, and his pale face made his pale beard even more obvious. He saw Little Zhuge and Lee Jingyun, and he raised his hand and said, "I, Ouyang Tongyu, am very grateful that the two of you have worked so hard to come here. "
Little Zhuge replied with a bow, "Unfortunately, we are not Duan Tianya. "
Ouyang Tongyu nodded and said. "I know!"
Little Zhuge said, "You are not disappointed?"
Ouyang Tongyu smiled and said, "I can ask Little Zhuge and Lee Jingyun to help me. What else do I have to be disappointed about?" His laughter was as pale as his face, and it was filled with endless sadness and sadness.
When Little Zhuge saw this situation, he could not help but sigh at the danger of fighting for fame and wealth. It could make ambitious people rack their brains, but it could also make tired people dispirited and dispirited.
After dinner, Ouyang Guang brought the two of them to walk around the mansion. Of course, the place they could go was limited to the east.
There were nearly a hundred people in Ouyang's Mansion, and there were no less than three hundred servants and servants. However, when the sky darkened, it was rare to see people walking around in the huge mansion.
When the three of them walked to the Northern Cross Courtyard, they found that the biggest two rooms were lit. Little Zhuge asked, "Who lives in these two rooms now?"
Ouyang Guang said, "One is grandfather Ouyang Boyuan, and the other is fourth uncle Ouyang Tongle. "
The sky was dark. Little Zhuge walked around the courtyard. He really liked the parasol tree behind the courtyard. He had never seen such a thick parasol tree before. After being trimmed by a gardener, the entire tree looked very experienced and experienced. If the flowers bloomed in the spring, the trees would definitely be lush and full of leaves.
It was late at night and the moon was clear. It was a rare quiet time at this time of the year.
In Ouyang's Mansion, two black figures flashed past. They bent down and came to Little Zhuge's residence, poking through the window paper. After blowing a puff of smoke into the room, in the time it took to make a cup of tea, Hearing that there was no movement in the house, the two night thieves quietly pushed the door open. Suddenly, they heard someone say: "I've been waiting for you for a long time. I wonder if the two of you are my friends or my enemies"
The two night thieves did not say anything. They turned around and retreated to the door. They jumped onto the high wall and disappeared without a trace. Everything returned to silence. Only Little Zhuge was left sitting on the bed and looking outside blankly.
The sky was slightly bright. Lee Jingyun came to Little Zhuge's room. As soon as he entered the room, he smiled and said, "Did you sleep well last night?"
Little Zhuge saw his expression and said, "Did you see what happened last night?"
Lee Jingyun nodded and said, "Although I am not as smart as you, I will not sleep too deeply in every place I go. "
Little Zhuge said, "Aren't you worried that something bad will happen to me?"
Lee Jingyun said confidently. "It won't be that easy to kill Little Zhuge. " He paused again and could not help but ask, "There are only two of them?"
Little Zhuge looked outside the door and whispered, "There are only two of them. "
Lee Jingyun suddenly smiled and said, "Could it be Duan Tianya and Huizi?"
Little Zhuge said, "How is that possible? Not to mention whether the two of them need to be sneaky in the middle of the night, even if they come, they don't need to blow the incense in my house, right?"
Lee Jingyun was puzzled. "Who could it be? Could it be the eldest and third brother of Ouyang family? "
Little Zhuge shook his head and said, "It can't be, right?" He said slowly, "Although Ouyang Tonglu and Ouyang Tongshou are not as famous as Ouyang Tongyu, they would not do such a despicable thing. Even if they did it, with their martial arts, they would not choose to escape. "
Lee Jingyun said, "It would be strange if they did not choose to escape. Once the matter is exposed, wouldn't their reputation be tarnished?"
Little Zhuge smiled and said, "The conflict between the two sides is already like lice on the bald man's head. Why would he care about the matter being exposed?"
Lee Jingyun suddenly understood and couldn't help but laugh, "What you said seems to make some sense. "
Right at this moment, Ouyang Guang walked in from outside the door and looked at his expression. He should know nothing about what happened last night.
Ouyang Guang brought the two of them to the house in the Northern Cross Courtyard. This was Ouyang Tongle's residence.
There were no extra furnishings in the room. There was a bed, a chair, a table, and an oil lamp on the table. That was all.
Ouyang Guang was about to say something when the door opened. A middle-aged man walked in from outside, holding a tray in his hand. There was a pot of wine and two dishes of wine on the tray. He was humming a little tune as he walked. He was surprised to see Little Zhuge and the others. He asked, "Are you the helper second elder brother invited?" The second elder brother he was talking about was, of course, Ouyang Tongyu.
Little Zhuge quickly bowed and said, "I, Little Zhuge, pay my respects to Senior Ouyang Tongle. " Lee Jingyun also deeply bowed and introduced himself.
Ouyang Tongle glanced at the two of them, then asked, "Do the two of you have silver taels on you?"
When he said this, not to mention Little Zhuge and Lee Jingyun, even Ouyang Guang was surprised. One should know that in the Jizhou, the Ouyang family did not lack money.
Little Zhuge smiled faintly. He took out a few silver ingots and handed them to Ouyang Tongle with both hands.
Ouyang Tongle also did not stand on ceremony. He picked up the silver coins, stood up, and walked out of the door. Even the food and drinks were put aside. Ouyang Guang shook his head helplessly and said, "Fourth Uncle must have owed a gambling debt. I will return the money he took later. "
Little Zhuge waved his hand and said. "There is no need to return it. Senior is also a happy person. Why do you and I need to stick to these small details?"
Ouyang Guang couldn't help but laugh, "Now there's no one in Jizhou who doesn't call my Fourth Uncle the Fourth Master of Liberty. "
"Fourth Master of Liberty?" Little Zhuge laughed. He seemed to agree with other people's evaluation of Ouyang Tongle. However, there was one thing that he didn't know. Ouyang Tongle asked for the silver taels regardless of his identity. Where did he spend it? The curiosity in his heart made him want to find out. So he asked, "Where is your fourth uncle going?"
Ouyang Guang said, "When fourth uncle takes the silver, he will most likely go to the De Sheng Casino not far away from here. "
Little Zhuge said, "There is no other place?"
When Ouyang Guang heard that, he immediately smiled and said, "There is another place that Fourth Uncle will only go when he has no money. "
Suddenly, the orderly sounds of counting bells, the shouts that broke through the sky, the sounds of dice hitting the porcelain bowl, the laughter of winning money. . . The sighs of those who lost money could not be counted as a gambling den with a prosperous business.
The old man continued to tempt the gamblers who came to try their luck in front of the platform, while the accountant in the gambling den was busy calculating the items to be pawned. The old man threw the dice into the porcelain bowl and pressed it with another bowl. He held the dice over his head with both hands and began to shake it. Suddenly, with a loud bang, the dice heavily landed on the table. The old man said in a low voice: "Buy it and leave!"
Ouyang Tongle thought for a moment and reached out his hand to place his bet. However, his hand was blocked by an iron fan.
