In Xinyang City, in a rather simple courtyard, the two elders of the beggar gang Song Xi, together with the deputy gang leader Ma Dayuan and the law enforcement elder Bai Shijing, gathered together, Song Xi's two elders had a slight anger on their faces, and Ma Dayuan and Bai Shijing looked calm. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Not long ago, there was a news in the city of Huanshui, which set off a lot of waves on the rivers and lakes, one by one, all the masters above the third-rate masters in the Daming Gang were killed, and the hall master of the Huanshui Hall, Sun Liang, was also killed, and the person also wrote on Sun Liang's door, "The Beggar Gang, the remnants are begging, forcing the good to be prostitutes, the evil things are done, the world is not tolerated, today the evil head is punished, and the beggar gang is expected to severely punish the accomplices." "The attitude is extremely arrogant, and the payment is Xiahou Zheng.
The disciples of the beggar gang did not know who Xiahou was, but they only knew that this incident was a serious blow to the prestige of the beggar gang, after the news came out, the helmsman of the Daming branch immediately launched an investigation into it, trying to find out the real culprit, and the beggar gang was innocent, who knew that with the deepening of the investigation, they found that what Xiahou Zheng said was all true, so they immediately reported it to the elders.
Several people gathered here today to solve this matter and save the reputation of the beggars.
Since Qiao Feng took over, the beggar gang has been chivalrous and righteous, fighting grievances, worrying about the country and saving the name of their own responsibility, in the rivers and lakes martial arts is the existence of Shaolin Temple Qiping, admired by everyone, and now it is rumored that such things, the beggar gang naturally wants to try their best to save.
Deputy Gang Leader Ma Dayuan's face sank like water, and he was the first to speak up: "The disciples of the Beggar Gang have done such evil things, and the law enforcement disciples have found out that it is true, which has a great impact on the reputation of my Beggar Gang, what do the elders think about this matter?"
Bai Shijing, as a law enforcement elder, naturally stood up at this time, "This matter damages the prestige of my beggar gang, and other people who wantonly aid and abuse in addition to the evil leader should be immediately killed (the evil leader has been killed by Xiahou Zheng), and other people with mild circumstances should also be expelled from the beggar gang immediately as a punishment and give an explanation to the Jianghu martial arts, otherwise the prestige of my beggar gang will be ruined!"
Elder Xi said: "What Elder Bai said is good, the disciples who make mistakes should naturally be dealt with seriously, but the beggar gang disciples make mistakes, and they should be dealt with by the law enforcement elders, but Xiahou Zheng disregarded the face of my beggar gang, killed my beggar gang master, and damaged the majesty of my beggar gang, he must give my beggar gang an explanation!"
Bai Shijing: "Elder Xi, if it weren't for the other party, we still don't know that there is such a cancer among the beggars, if it is ......"
Elder Song interrupted: "What Elder Bai said is reasonable, but after all, this matter is the housework of my beggar gang, even if they deserve to die, it should be done by the law enforcement disciples, not him Xiahou Zheng, Xiahou is doing this, it is inevitable that he will not take my beggar gang in his eyes, if we just forget it, wouldn't the Jianghu martial arts think that my beggar gang has no one." ”
Bai Shijing and the two elders argued, and after arguing for a long time, Ma Dayuan knocked on the table and said unhappily: "Okay, the law enforcement elder will deal with this matter first, as for Xiahou Zheng's matter, let's wait for the helper to come back later!"
At this time, Xiahou was taking Ping'er to Poyang Lake.
The money for the murder was indeed left by him, since he did it, he was not afraid of the beggar gang to retaliate, and the matter itself was still helping him beggar gang, and now the beggar gang was still under the leadership of Qiao Feng, Xiahou Zheng believed that they would not do this kind of revenge.
Xiahou is looking at the lake in front of him, the lake water is clear, the breeze is blowing, the lake surface is blowing the slightest ripples, Xiahou is suggesting: "Ping'er, to Poyang Lake, we can go to Suzhou soon, let's find a boat to cross the lake, just have a fun!"
Ping'er: "Listen to Childe." ”
Walking towards the nearest pier with Ping'er, there are many fishermen coming and going, Xiahou is stopping a middle-aged man who looks easier to talk, Xiahou is bowing his hand, "This uncle, may I ask, is there a ferry here?"
"Now that they're basically out, the one who stays here is the Wang family's boat that is big enough to barely carry you and the horses, can you go and ask? ”
"Thank you, uncle. ”
Xiahou was walking towards the boat that the man pointed to, it was a relatively large fishing boat, it was indeed enough to carry Xiahou Zheng and two horses, and there was a person on the boat who was sleeping with his head covered with a straw hat.
"Boatman, can you take us across the lake?" Xiahou knocked on the side of the boat to wake the man up.
The boatman took the hat on his head, and his face was a young man in his twenties, who often exposed his skin to the sun because of his perennial fishing, and his skin showed a healthy bronz.
The boatman shook his head and refused: "If you want to cross the lake, you should go to those merchant ships or passenger ships, but you are looking for the wrong person to find me." ”
Xiahou is arching his hand, "The boatman's boats are also idle now, and they are used to carry us across the river, and they will definitely not be stingy with the fare." ”
The boatman still shook his head, "It's not a matter of money, you may not know, now there is a group of water bandits on Poyang Lake, fierce and abnormal, specializing in robbing merchants, and now only those merchant ships with strong escorts dare to sail in the lake, and the general merchants have already changed to land, even we dare not go too deep into fishing, I persuade the two to find merchant ships, but also for the sake of the safety of the two, not to covet the ship." ”
"The boatman knows how to get to the nearby merchant dock. Hearing the other party say this, Xiahou Zheng stopped pestering.
"It's about five miles east along the lake. ”
"Thank you for informing the boatman, sorry to interrupt. Xiahou was leaving with Ping'er and walking east as the boatman said.
Asking all the way, Xiahou Zheng finally took Ping'er to board the merchant ship crossing the lake, and after settling the horses, the two came to the deck to see the lake together.
"Childe, this place is so big, so beautiful. Ping'er exclaimed.
Xiahou Zheng smiled when he heard this: "There is also a Taihu Lake in Suzhou, which is about the same size as Poyang Lake and as beautiful, when the time comes, I will buy a house by the lake, and then buy a boat, and then you can look at it however you want." ”
"Really?" Ping'er's eyes began to glow golden.
"Of course, I won't lie to Ping'er. ”
"Childe, there is an island over there, hey~ Why are there still people on the island, and how many boats are there next to it? There are still people living on this kind of island!" Ping'er found an island on the right and excitedly pointed it out to Xiahou.
"Fast into the cabin. A man who looked like a steward suddenly ran over and shouted anxiously at the people on deck.
"Little brother, what's going on?" When he entered, Xia Hou was asking a crew member who looked like a squad leader.
"I see the island on the right. ”
Xiahou Zheng nodded, "What, is there something wrong with that island?"
"When we came here a few days ago, there was no one on that island, and those people's boats are very similar to the boats used by the bandits, but don't worry, this time we have brought enough guards, and the bandits will not dare to attack us, and if they dare to come, there will be absolutely no return, and we have defeated several groups of bandits who want to attack us. I let you in just in case, lest those people do attack and cause casualties. The crew said confidently.
"Didn't you say that they wouldn't dare to attack a big merchant ship like you, why are they still on guard?" asked Ping'er curiously.
"People don't hurt the tiger, the tiger is harmful to people's hearts, for this kind of outlaw, you can't relax your vigilance. Xiahou was touching Ping'er's head.
"What this little brother said is that this kind of outlaw, once they go crazy, they don't care how many guards you have, so you still have to be careful to take precautions. The crew also smiled and nodded, their expressions were very relaxed, they didn't take the threat outside seriously at all, their merchant ships had defeated the bandits several times, so they didn't have to worry about it at all.
