Red Dust Daqian

Chapter 126 Li Ning'er's Strange Reaction

Fellow travelers? That's nonsense. There's no point in talking about it.

Seeing Zhou Sen didn't believe him, Ouyang Zongxin pinched his throat and changed his tone and said, "Master, you know this sound. You won't feel any pain after taking this medicine."

Zhou Sen was stunned. This voice sounded familiar. Not only the voice sounded familiar, but the words were familiar as well. Isn't this the Right Envoy of Huaxi Shrine? This was exactly what he said when he pretended to eat the Gu worm. The atmosphere was tense at the time, and he was deeply impressed by this voice and these words.

Zhou Sen looked at Ouyang Changzong in confusion and confirmed, "Huaxi Right Envoy?" Ou Ya Changzong nodded and answered affirmatively, "Yes, Taoist Zhang. I am the Huaxi Right Envoy. You and I are both loyal to Huaxi God. We belong to the same organization and work for Huaxi Shrine. So Taoist Zhang, don't worry that I will do something bad to you. Besides, most of the secrets of the Ouyang family are also for the shrine. Is it useless for Taoist Zhang to keep the evidence of the Ouyang family?"

Unexpectedly, the right envoy of Huaxi Shrine is Ouyang Changzong, the governor of Jiangxia Prefecture. He is a man of great power in Jiangxia Prefecture, and he is willing to be the right envoy of Huaxi Shrine. It seems that Huaxi Shrine has seriously infiltrated the officialdom of Jiangxia Prefecture.

As for the confession, it's not that I won't give it, but I don't have it. Now there is only the confession of adultery that is not presentable. Zhou Sen can only continue to play Tai Chi and say to Ouyang Changzong: "I didn't expect that the famous Huaxi Right Envoy is actually Lord Ouyang Changzong. Nice to meet you, nice to meet you. As for those confessions, please trust me, I have helped you destroy them, and the secrets of the Ouyang family will never be known to outsiders. I am even more grateful for joining the Huaxi Shrine, and I hope that you will take care of me in the future."

The cunning Taoist priest seems unwilling to give his confession. Forget it. Since he has revealed his identity, I believe that this Taoist priest will not dare to make trouble with the secret of the Ouyang family. After all, he knows the power of the poisonous insect. Whether he can get the antidote in a friendly way every month depends on the mood of the Right Envoy Ouyang. I don't think he dares to do anything.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Zhou Sen intentionally or unintentionally asked Ouyang Changzong who was the real owner behind the Huaxi Shrine? Ouyang Changzong was also cunning and unwilling to reveal the secrets of Huaxi Society directly to Zhou Sen. Instead, he advised Zhou Sen to take one step at a time and honestly complete the secret orders issued by Huaxi Shrine. After taking off the word "apprentice" on his head, his authority would be gradually unlocked, and Zhou Sen would know the secrets he should know.

Zhou Sen couldn't dig out more secrets, and Ouyang Changzong couldn't get back his confession, so the two of them had to let it go. Before leaving, Ouyang Changzong, as the right-hand man of Huaxi Shrine, warned Zhou Sen that the secrets of the Ouyang family and the secrets of Huaxi Shrine must not be told to others, otherwise the gods would punish him, and Zhou Sen would lose the right to get the antidote for the poisonous insect again. Zhou Sen pretended to be pious and told Ouyang Changzong again that he would not leak the secrets of Huaxi Shrine.

Zhou Sen, Xiangcao and Li Ning'er left Ouyang Changshi's residence.

On the way back, Xiangcao and Li Ning'er kept asking Zhou Sen out of curiosity what kind of secret of the Ouyang family he knew that would make Ouyang Changzong personally and humbly request Zhou Sen to hand it over.

Zhou Sen answered honestly that he didn't know any secrets of the Ouyang family. The two didn't believe it at all and suspected that Zhou Sen was deliberately hiding it from them. Xiangcao angrily accused Zhou Sen of hiding it even from her senior sister; Li Ning'er scolded him, what about the favor he had promised to do.

Zhou Sen felt wronged and could only patiently explain to the two of them: "You were also there when Ouyang Zongren was tried that day. You should all be aware of all the information that Ouyang Zongren confessed. Now I have nothing else except the confession of Ouyang Zongren and his aunt committing adultery. It's also our fault that we didn't think of digging deep into the secrets of the Ouyang family at that time. The reason why we didn't tell Ouyang Changzong clearly was, first, we were afraid that Ouyang Changzong would not believe it, just like you are now, which would only cause trouble. Second, it was to make Ouyang Changzong believe that we still have evidence against him, so that Ouyang Changzong would be afraid and dare not touch us easily. But it seems that the secrets of the Ouyang family are still worth digging out, and we will spend some energy to find out in the future."

After much persuasion, Xiangcao and Li Ning'er finally trusted Zhou Sen. They then asked Zhou Sen and Ouyang Changzong about the purpose of meeting Zhou Sen alone and what they talked about with Zhou Sen.

Zhou Sen didn't know how much Li Ning'er knew about the secret of Huaxi Shrine, and whether he should tell Li Ning'er. Zhou Sen looked at Li Ning'er hesitantly, and Li Ning'er looked at Zhou Sen and complained: "Demon, I have helped you with so many things, don't you trust me now, and are you hiding something from me?"

Zhou Sen thought about it carefully. After all, Li Ning'er was Li Qi's sister. She might know some secrets of Huaxi Shrine, and she had indeed helped him a lot.

After a moment's hesitation, Zhou Sen told Li Ning'er and Xiangcao everything about what Ouyang Changzong had said to him after they left. Xiangcao was also shocked. She didn't expect that the Chief of Jiangxia Prefecture was actually the Right Envoy of Huaxi Shrine. It seemed that Huaxi Shrine was very powerful in Jiangxia Prefecture.

Li Ning'er seemed much calmer. It seemed that she had always known about the Huaxi Shrine, and she might have known more about it than Zhou Sen. Li Ning'er sighed. She did not expect that the Huaxi Shrine had infiltrated Jiangxia Prefecture so seriously. She was afraid that the entire Jiangxia Prefecture was controlled by the Huaxi Shrine.

Zhou Sen also said that today was not a complete failure, but now that he knew that Ouyang Changzong was the Right Envoy of Huaxi, he could arrange for the Plum Blossom Division to track him for a long time, and there might be unexpected gains. Li Ninger nodded in agreement and said that he would arrange for someone to track him.

Li Ning'er's words puzzled Zhou Sen. Could it be that Li Ning'er was not only Li Qi's sister, but also worked in the Plum Blossom Division? Otherwise, how could she answer so naturally? Could she make the decision on behalf of her brother? Zhou Sen and Xiangcao stared at Li Ning'er in confusion. Li Ning'er seemed to realize that she had just done something unintentional. She said awkwardly, "I think what Yaodao said is right. I believe my brother Li Qi will make the same decision. I will convey your suggestions to my brother in full."

It didn't seem to be a very important matter for a little girl not to work in the Plum Blossom Department. Zhou Sen and Xiangcao didn't continue to worry about Li Ning'er's identity and chose to believe it for the time being.

Now that the matter of Ouyang Mansion is understood, we can't walk aimlessly. Vanilla asked Zhou Sen: What else should we do next? Should we go back to the inn or go to Qianmu Hall to look for Shen Qianrou?

Zhou Sen stopped and looked at Li Ning'er again to seriously confirm whether Dr. Sun Sizhen was a trustworthy person or not? Was he related to Huaxi Theological Society?
