"Soon after we went to the Li family's mansion to find that Li Sen for help, there was a woman with a fox face mask who attacked the Qingwei Gang at night, that woman's body is strange and extremely fast, and her kung fu is not the way of any sect in the martial arts at all, but that person's martial arts are high, according to my speculation, it is still above the two most powerful people in the rivers and lakes today - Sword Demon Sun Hao and Scarlet Butterfly Zhuang Ying. ”

Saying this, the blacksmith's face became a little solemn.

"Just one person, and he wiped out the Qingwei Gang?" Jiang Ning said.

Shen Ling and Shen Bing also gasped deeply when they heard this.

Nine Sects and Twelve Gangs, in the end, are all sects with heads and faces in the rivers and lakes, and they are in their own lair, even Sun Hao and the female demon Zhuang Ying have absolutely no way to slaughter the whole family on other people's territory, such a superb strength, it sounds like it is a little outside the scope of martial artists.

"That's right," the blacksmith affirmed Jiang Ning's thoughts, and continued: "This is not the most terrifying, she uses a sword technique that has never appeared in the rivers and lakes, but the wounds on all the dead people, looking at it, seem to be the traces left by our Shuoji Pavilion's swordsmanship, even me, I can't detect anything unusual." ”

The wind and snow outside the window still haven't stopped.

The blacksmith unconsciously lowered his voice, his expression blank and full of fear, as if he had returned to that night that he would never forget.

"The woman with the fox face mask came to the territory of the Green Reed Gang and began to kill people, without saying a word from beginning to end. It's just a sword, a sword, a sword. The blacksmith said: "Her sword speed is extremely fast, and every move is the most basic swordsmanship, when he starts, it looks mediocre, I can even guess what trick he wants to use next, but the sword is so fast, even I can't see when the girl will come out of the sword, when she will put it in the scabbard, it is definitely the fastest sword I have ever encountered in my life!"

"That night, Jiang Chongshan and I struggled to resist, but we were still easily defeated by that woman, Jiang Chongshan and Yue Qingyao died in battle, and the Qingwei Gang was single-handedly annihilated by that woman, but I was left with such a cruel life, at first I didn't understand why I could live.

"But later, I slowly understood that the reason why the woman didn't kill me was because Li Sen planned to make me the scapegoat for the fall of the Jiang family. ”

"Each corpse has wounds of almost the same depth and shape, and judging from those wounds alone, I believe that the vast majority of masters in the rivers and lakes will think that it is the handiwork of our Shuoji Pavilion!"

"Later, I was knocked unconscious by the fox-faced woman, and when I woke up again, she had already appeared in the dungeon of the government. ”

"The so-called confession, signing, and drawing of custody, everything was done when I was unconscious, and the government posted a notice saying that I was jealous because I couldn't get a brother's woman, and took advantage of the unpreparedness of Jiang Chongshan and his wife to kill them, and then in order to cover up their crimes, they killed the place where they were in the gang at that time

There are helpers. ”

Jiang Ning was silent for a moment and said: "Li Sen, as the salt and iron transfer envoy of the imperial court, is just a prisoner and a thief, and he also sells things to enemy countries, which is really unforgivable, this kind of thing is far from being as simple as you said." ”

The blacksmith nodded, "That's nature. Although Li Sen's official rank is not small, his authority is on top of the salt and iron transportation of the dynasty, if he wants to smoothly put a trumped-up charge on me, and lock me up in the prison of the state and county government, it takes a lot of relevant people to be able to do it, there are many intertwined here, how many officials protect each other, and how many interests are involved, once these people surface, I believe that there will be another bloody storm in the dynasty!"

"What about later?" Shen Bing said curiously.

The blacksmith smiled bitterly and said: "Li Sen used some means, and in a very short period of time, the case of the destruction of the Qingwei Gang was sentenced to behead on the basis of sufficient human and material evidence, and I became a prisoner to be beheaded. ”

The middle-aged man continued: "I am naturally unwilling to die unjustly, and I tried my best to finally escape from the dungeon a few days and nights before the execution, but although my martial arts are good, my injuries are there, and the dungeon is heavily guarded, and the organs are all over the place, although I successfully escaped from there, I was also seriously injured, which is the root of today's coughing up blood." ”

Jiang Ning thought for a while and said: "Escaping from prison is tantamount to making your charges confirmed, presumably you can't go back to Shuoji Pavilion." This can actually be regarded as playing into the hands of Li Sen and Jianzhuang, so that even if you can find any evidence of their fornication with the enemy country in the future, a fugitive death row prisoner, no one will believe what comes out of his mouth, so the only way out for you is to stay incognito and wait for the opportunity, right?"

"That's right," the blacksmith said, "Li Sen, a huge greedy, joined forces with Jianzhuang, assassinated political enemies who dared to oppose him, and grabbed wealth through various means, acting domineering and arrogant, in fact, he has touched the interests of many people in the officialdom, and naturally offended many people." ”

The blacksmith continued: "As long as I can find evidence that they sold weapons to the Night Kingdom without permission, and put it in the hands of those who do not deal with Li Sen in the court, they will make a big deal about it and take the opportunity to bring down Li Sen." But by the time I escaped from the dungeon, there were no more people from Jianzhuang and Yeguo on the transportation lines of those weapons, and it was obvious that our previous actions had taken a toll on the snake, and Li Sen and the people of Jianzhuang had already changed all the places and routes for trading. ”

"In the first few years," the old wound ached in his chest, and the blacksmith couldn't help coughing, feeling a little better, and continued: "I've been trying to find some flaws in Li Sen's body, hoping to find evidence of their transaction again, but I have never gained anything, Li Sen and Jian Zhuang have become more and more vigilant, and I can't find any of them."

Useful evidence. ”

"In order to prevent them from continuing to trade with the Night Country, I had to try to spread the gossip everywhere in the rivers and lakes, saying that the transfer made Li Sen and Jianzhuang join forces to sell weapons to the Night Country, hoping to make them restrain a little, this method is ineffective I don't know, but it is precisely because of this move of mine that I met a person. ”

The blacksmith said: "This person said that he could help me, so I promised him to stay in Songxue Village as a blacksmith and help him monitor the movements on the ice field until the day he closed the net." ”

"Who is he?" Jiang Ning said curiously: "He said he could help you, and you believed it?"

The blacksmith smiled and said, "I can't tell the identity of that person yet, but you'll find out soon!"

Jiang Ning also smiled when he heard this, in fact, he had vaguely guessed the identity of that person in his heart, but he couldn't be completely sure at the moment, so he just said: "So, the day of closing the net is coming?"
