Chapter 489 Cut Off the Past

After Ouyang Ming and others entered the city, they settled down again.

Wu Hanning and Bai Shixue are noble, and there are subordinates rushing to make arrangements in the city, and the Ni family is even more of the local snakes. Ni Jingshen personally came forward to pick Ni Yinghong away. Ni Jingshen scrambled.

After all, this elder is Sister Ying, so he can't be rude if he doesn't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face.

With a sigh, Ouyang Ming's eyes turned and fell on Jiang Jiumei.

Since entering the city, the beautiful little girl has not said a word. However, there was a hint of complexity in her eyes looking around.

This city is where she was born and where she grew up. She must have a deep feeling for this city.

Ouyang Ming's heart moved slightly, he pondered for a moment, and said, "Jiumei, come with me."

Jiang Jiumei responded obediently without resisting, and followed Ouyang Ming towards the city, she was completely at ease with this brother, and she didn't have the slightest sense of precaution.

The two of them turned a few corners in the city and walked towards a road that Jiang Jiumei was very familiar with. Her beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and Jiang Jiumei had already guessed Ouyang Ming's destination, but for some reason, the closer she got there, the more her heart trembled.

Finally, they stopped before a small portal.

Looking at the brand-new gate, Jiang Jiumei's eyes were slightly moist, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, a big teardrop fell down her face.

Ouyang Ming sighed softly, turned around and wiped away the tears on her face, and said, "Come in."

Push the door and enter, this is a medium-sized courtyard. The ancestors of the Jiang family also had a prosperous life, otherwise it would be impossible to start this property here. However, with the decline of the family, this property has been coveted by others. For future generations, it is not known whether it is a blessing or a curse.

Jiang Jiumei entered the yard, walked around the room, and was a little excited when she came out.

In the past, after the Liang family left the yard, they deliberately restored the furnishings in the yard to their original state. Jiang Jiumei couldn't control her emotions when she saw things and thought about people.

However, she is a real strong man after all, her mind has restrained in a short time, she bowed deeply to Ouyang Ming, and said, "Thank you, brother."

Ouyang Ming waved his hand slightly and said, "Since you call me brother, do you still want to thank me?"

Jiang Jiumei nodded gently, and was about to speak when she heard a soft knock on the door.

Ouyang Ming frowned slightly, he had obviously recognized the identity of the person coming from some subtle voices.

"City Lord Deng, please come in."

The door was slowly pushed open, and Deng Xiyuan walked in with a smile on his face. He first saluted Ouyang Ming, and then his eyes swept away, and fell on Jiang Jiumei.

Ouyang Ming said indifferently: "Master Deng, don't you need to accompany Her Royal Highness when entering the city?"

Deng Xiyuan chuckled, and said: "Master Ou, this time, the old man came here at the order of His Highness."

Ouyang Ming's heart moved slightly, and he immediately understood that since Wu Hanning was traveling with Jiang Jiumei, he could naturally guess that she must go home to have a look. Even without mentioning the brother-sister relationship between Jiang Jiumei and Ouyang Ming, Jiang Jiumei's strong strength alone is enough to be worth Wu Hanning's win over.

Nodding slightly, Ouyang Ming said, "Since Lord Deng is here, do you have anything to say?"

Deng Xiyuan's gaze froze, and he said, "That's right." He paused, and said, "Master Ou, Miss Jiang, our Changlong City suffered heavy losses in this Zerg raid. Hey, even the Liang family, who are imperial merchants, have suffered heavy losses." Unavoidable."

Ouyang Ming raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "What happened to the Liang family?"

Deng Xiyuan said solemnly: "Brothers Liang Jinye and Liang Jinling died in battle, and died together with a yang-level half-elf beast. Liang Gaoyi disappeared in a panic, and when he was found, his body was already in dilapidated condition, and most of it was eaten by the Zerg." He sighed and said: "These three people deserve what they deserve."

Ou Yangming and Jiang Jiumei looked at each other, and were greatly surprised by the ending.

Although Liang Gaoyi was the only one who persecuted Jiang Jiumei in the past, without the support of the Liang family brothers, he would not have been able to do such a rampant thing.

Jiang Jiumei was successful in her studies, but she received such news on the day of her return, and she didn't know how she felt. However, they also knew that Deng Xiyuan would never dare to play tricks on this matter. If those three were not dead, it is estimated that he would be the next to die.

Ouyang Ming pondered for a moment, then turned around and said, "Jiumei, look..."

Deng Xiyuan said solemnly: "Miss Jiang, although the culprit is dead, the Liang family still has many properties in the city. If you want to..."

Jiang Jiumei waved her hand without hesitation and said, "Thank you, Lord City Master, for your kindness, but let's stop here."

Deng Xiyuan hesitated for a while, and said: "Miss Jiang, Your Highness has ordered you to be satisfied no matter what."

The corner of Jiang Jiumei's mouth drew a slight arc, and said, "Ordinary property and wealth, do you think I still need it?"

Deng Xiyuan was startled, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Judging from Jiang Jiumei's current status and her future in the Xuanjing Sect, the common property in this world is not only of no help to her, but may become a hindrance to her.

Jiang Jiumei turned her head and said in a low voice: "Brother, my little sister wants to live here tonight, can I?"

Ou Yangming understood immediately, and said: "You should rest well, if there is anything else, we will talk about it tomorrow." He winked at Deng Xiyuan and exited the yard.

After closing the gate, Jiang Jiumei came to the center of the courtyard. She clasped her hands together and murmured softly, as if she was praying silently. The expression on her face gradually became solemn.

After leaving the courtyard, Ouyang Ming and Deng Xiyuan walked in silence. After leaving, Ou Yangming suddenly said, "City Master Deng, thank you very much."

Deng Xiyuan was not surprised, and said with a smile: "Some small things are what I should do."

Although the Zerg siege brought huge casualties to Changlong City, it would be a bit of a coincidence to say that the three members of the Liang family were killed at the same time.

Although there are many coincidences in this world, Ouyang Ming is extremely suspicious of them.

He has dealt with the three members of the Liang family, so Liang Gaoyi is nothing more than a dude.

But Liang Jinye was a thoughtful and cautious person. If it was said that he hadn't arranged for someone to take care of his beloved son when the Zerg attacked the city and the city was in chaos, Ou Yangming would never believe it.

But now, not only did Liang Gaoyi die without a place to bury him, even his corpse was half eaten by the Zerg, and even the brothers Liang Jinye died together.

If this is still a coincidence, it is too coincidental.

Although Jiang Jiumei's cultivation base is strong, she lacks experience in the world after all. And Ouyang Ming was born as an orphan. What nasty things haven't he seen since he was a child? Even if you have never acted against your conscience, but you have never eaten pork, at least you have seen pigs run away.

Thinking about how Deng Xiyuan appeared as the backer of the Liang family in the past, Ou Yangming knew who was behind all this.

"These people have deserved their crimes, and they deserve more than death." Ouyang Ming said slowly: "However, I don't want Jiumei to do it herself. It is undoubtedly just right to end this grievance like this. But I hope that there will be no more in the future. Trouble."

"Yes, what Master Ou said is true." Deng Xiyuan said with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, there is more than one imperial merchant. Since the Liang family is not up to the task, there will naturally be other families to take its place."

Ou Yangming nodded slightly. Two of the pillars of the Liang family died, and they were banned from being an imperial merchant. It is conceivable that life will be difficult in the future. Moreover, with Liang Gaoyi's temperament, he must have offended many people over the years. Once the Liang family has no protection, how can these people give up.

It can be said that the life of the Liang family will definitely be difficult in the future. If they are ignorant, even their family will be destroyed.

However, at this moment Ouyang Ming didn't have the slightest sympathy.

Since he wanted to seize other people's property, even at the expense of his subordinates, no matter how tragic the ending was, it was only natural.

As for the words that the family was not affected by the disaster, Ouyang Ming dismissed it. When the Liang family used their power to bully others, take advantage of others, and benefit their own family members, they should have been mentally prepared for this.

One prospers, one prospers, one loses all, this has been the case since ancient times.

After parting ways with Deng Xiyuan, Ouyang Ming only found out that Ni Yinghong had gone to Old Man Tiandi's mansion when he returned to Ni Mansion.

The old man Tiandi attracted Tianlei to save Ouyang Ming, and died together with a lizard spirit beast. As long as Ouyang Ming is alive, his will will be well executed. But now, Miss Ni's family came again and personally stood up for the former teacher, this courtyard became more and more a paradise, even Deng Xiyuan didn't dare to think about it.

An hour later, Ni Yinghong came back slowly, with grief and exhaustion that could not be concealed on her face.

Ouyang Ming went up to meet her and hugged her into his arms. This time, even Ni Jingshen didn't say anything.

The next day, when Ou Yangming came to Jiang's house with Ni Yinghong who was basically calm, Jiang Jiumei suddenly made a decision that Ou Yangming didn't expect.

"Brother, please sell this yard."

"What?" Ouyang Ming asked in surprise.

"Little sister has decided that she will devote all her energy to martial arts in the future." Jiang Jiumei's eyes sparkled, as if a huge change had taken place overnight: "Everything in the past has already left me. From then on, only Jiang Jiumei of the Xuanjing Sect , there is no longer Jiang Jiumei of Changlong City."

Ouyang Ming and Ni Yinghong looked at each other, and they both sensed her determination from that unwavering gaze.

With a long sigh, Ouyang Ming said, "Forget it, the matter of Changlong City will be dealt with later." He turned his eyes and said, "Sister Ying, Sister Jiu, are you interested in going to Canghai County?"

The eyes of the two beautiful women lit up immediately, and Jiang Jiumei suddenly said, "Brother, do you still want to bring Her Royal Highness and the Young Pavilion Master with you?"

Ou Yangming shook his head resolutely, and said, "No, this time, it's enough for us to go..."
