Chapter 86
Ouyang Yuanfeng led his soldiers into the woods, and there were no living things in the pitch-black forest. The lingering temperature just after the fire seemed to indicate that this place was still full of vitality not long ago.

Ouyang Yuanfeng looked at the messy corpse that could no longer be distinguished, and suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart. The short-term sadness was quickly replaced by happiness, and he sighed in his heart: "It's a good thing I didn't come last night. Otherwise, I might be buried here too!"

Chen Wu has been following Ouyang Yuanfeng all the time, with an unspeakable heaviness on his face at this time, he asked in a low voice: "Captain Ouyang, what should we do now?"

Chen Wu's words interrupted Ouyang Yuanfeng's secret joy in his heart, and he replied: "Let the brothers count the number of corpses."

Chen Wu took the order to go, and after dismounting with his soldiers, he began to count the corpses. It was not difficult to count the corpses, because everyone in the Yutian Guild Hall and the Wolf Bandits were fighting at the same place, except for the few who fled. Wu Zhi and the others were killed elsewhere, and the corpses were concentrated.

About two quarters of an hour later, Chen Wu returned to Ouyang Yuanfeng and said, "Captain Ouyang, a total of [-] corpses were found, and their faces are basically unrecognizable!"

After hearing the number of corpses reported by Chen Wu, Ouyang Yuanfeng secretly calculated in his heart. He already guessed that the people from the Wolf Pirates and Yutian Guild Hall were almost buried in this forest. He was slightly moved by the brutality of the battle Shaken, he whispered to himself with a slightly sad tone: "They are all heroes! What a pity!"

Ouyang Yuanfeng spoke very lightly, but Chen Wu who was close to him couldn't hear him. He was actually in a bad mood, because a hero is always worthy of respect, and even the most cowardly rats will not be stingy in their hearts. Respect for heroes.

With a dignified expression, Chen Wu handed three tokens to Ouyang Yuanfeng. Since the three tokens were made of special materials, they were not destroyed by the fire.

Ouyang Yuanfeng took the three tokens, looked carefully, and found that two of the three tokens were owned by Zishang, the president of Yutian Guild Hall, and Long Batian, the president of Tianlong Guild Hall, while the third token It is owned by the Overwatch Council, the most mysterious department in the dynasty, and the identity on the token is also an Overseer.

Ouyang Yuanfeng was puzzled as to why Long Batian's token appeared here, but he was shocked by the Overwatch Council's token appearing here!He hurriedly asked: "Where are these tokens found?"

Chen Wu beckoned, and four soldiers brought over two corpses. One of the two corpses had all the bones smashed into pieces, but the melted skin and flesh stuck together at the back, while the other corpse had no head.

Chen Wu pointed to the two corpses and said: "Captain Ouyang, these are the two corpses where the tokens were found. Among them, the one with the head still has two tokens."

Ouyang Yuanfeng looked at the token of the Overwatch Council, and then at the signboard of Long Batian, always feeling a little strange, but he really couldn't figure out what was so strange, so he said, "Tell brother Ladies and gentlemen, with the joint efforts of us and those righteous men in the Yutian Guild Hall, all of them have been wiped out! Let one or two brothers go to the nearest city and tell the local yamen, let them send yamen servants to assist us in transporting these corpses Go back and wait for Lord Inspector to deal with it!"

Now that Ouyang Yuanfeng, who led the soldiers, had already made a decision, the soldiers at the bottom just followed suit. As for the work of collecting the corpses, it was not complicated, so after two days, Ouyang Yuanfeng led the soldiers very smoothly. Leading the corpse transport team back to the west gate of Yangcheng.

Ouyang Kang was very happy when he reported that the wolf bandits had all been wiped out, because he could not only explain to his clan relatives about the destruction of the ancestral hall, but also report to the imperial court to assign the credit for the extermination of the bandits to his own family. Among the resumes, the most important thing is that Zishang died, which is of great benefit to Ouyang Kang's control of the hunters in Yangquan Prefecture. How can he be in a good mood with so many good things?
Ouyang Kang enthusiastically served wine for Ouyang Yuanfeng, who had returned triumphantly, and Ouyang Yuanfeng was a very thick-skinned person, so of course he readily accepted it, and he felt very at ease!

The Governor's Mansion was very lively on this day. In Ouyang Kang's words, it is necessary to reward the warriors who have returned from victory first, and then comfort the dead. Therefore, at noon, the Governor's Mansion hosted a banquet for all the dignified people in Yangcheng. Congratulations to the people, in fact, everyone who attended the banquet knew that this was just a show off, just to increase the prestige of the prefect.

At the banquet, Ouyang Kang received the overwhelming admiration he wanted, and Ouyang Yuanfeng also received a mountain of congratulations and appreciation.

Two hours later, after the banquet was over, Ouyang Kang summoned Ouyang Yuanfeng, whose face was flushed from the smell of alcohol, in the hall of the mansion with a smile on his face.

"Yuanfeng! You did a good job this time! I will report your brother's death to the court, saying that it was because he sacrificed his life for the country while suppressing the thieves at this time! And it is even more extraordinary that you avenge your brother and turn the tide! Yuanfeng You can rest assured that I will definitely plan something for you, and you will be able to take over your brother's official position in the near future!"

When Ouyang Yuanfeng heard this, he bowed down excitedly and said, "I want to be cultivated by my lord!"

Ouyang Kang laughed and helped him up and said, "Yuanfeng! There are no outsiders here, just call me clan uncle!"

"Little nephew, thank you uncle for your kindness!"

"It should be, for you, you go back today and have a good rest! There will be a sacrifice to the dead tomorrow, and you will be present tomorrow. As for Zishang, I sent someone to pay the funeral when I received your letter the day before yesterday. Someone will take the corpse back." Ouyang Kang's tone did not show any sadness because of Zishang's death.

At this time Ouyang Yuanfeng remembered the token, he hurriedly took out the three tokens from his body, handed them to Ouyang Kang and said: "Uncle Clan, I found this from the president, and This token belonging to Long Batian was found on another corpse."

As soon as Ouyang Kang heard that it was Long Batian's token, he hurriedly began to identify it after taking it. He looked at it carefully for a while, and then suddenly laughed and said, "God helped me!"

"Why is the clan uncle so happy?" Ouyang Yuanfeng asked very puzzled.

"The Beast Hunting Club needs the approval of the Ministry of War to be established if it exceeds a certain scale, and the token of the president is also issued by the Ministry of War, so Long Batian will definitely not entrust this token to others, the token is on the corpse , that corpse is most likely Long Batian himself! If Long Batian is also dead, then I can control the animal hunting business in Yangquan Prefecture without any resistance!"

Ouyang Yuanfeng still didn't understand and asked: "A group of beast hunters, is the family uncle so happy?"

Ouyang Kang was in a good mood at this time, so he would not care about Ouyang Yuanfeng asking such an idiotic question, he laughed and said: "Yuanfeng! You have been in the military camp for many years. You don't know that the benefits of this beast hunting business are huge, and this There are many capable people among the beast hunters, and being able to master such a force will greatly consolidate the position of our Ouyang clan in Yangquan Prefecture."

"So that's it, the little nephew is going to congratulate the clan uncle!"

Ouyang Kang stroked his beard and laughed heartily, and put Zishang's two tokens aside without even looking at them.

At this time, the butler of the mansion suddenly barged in, with a very flustered expression on his face, he ran up to Ouyang Kang in a small step, and said in a flustered tone: "Master, something is wrong! Something happened to the young master?"

Ouyang Kang asked angrily: "Which girl did you sleep with again?"

"Master! The young master is dead!"

"What? Say it again!" Ouyang Kang was in disbelief.

"The young master is dead!" the butler repeated in a low voice.

Ouyang Kang felt that the blood flowed up, his head seemed to be hit by a hammer, and then his eyes blurred, the surrounding things began to blur, his ears began to be hard to hear, and then his eyes darkened, and he passed out.
