This Elder Xu has a very high rank in the beggar gang, he is eighty-seven years old this year, and the previous Wang gang leader respected him as "uncle", and there was no one in the beggar gang who was not his junior. He has been retired for a long time and has long since stopped asking about world affairs. Qiao Feng and the elders of Gong Chuan Gong and Law Enforcement greeted him every year, and they just casually talked about the common things in the help. Seeing him in person today, everyone in the beggar gang was surprised, and Qiao Feng hurriedly stepped forward with his brothers to say hello to him.

How do you know that Elder Xu saw that his eyes swept the hall full of boxes of gold and silver, and his already calm face became even darker, and he only said coldly: "Gang Master Qiao, the two Zen masters of the Shaolin Sect Xuan Nan and Xuan Lin have something important to look for you, and our housework will be talked about later!" ”

The two Zen masters of Shaolin Xuannan and Xuanshan traveled thousands of miles to find Qiao Feng, naturally to ask for an explanation for Xuanku's death. Hearing what Elder Xu said, Xuan Lin immediately straightened his chest and took a step forward. Before he could open his mouth to question, the monk's robe was gently pulled by Xuan Nan. I saw Xuan Nan take a step forward and said to Elder Xu: "The guest is as good as the host, Elder Xu still solves the housework of the beggar gang first, and Shaolin will come to talk to the leader of the Qiao gang again." ”

It turned out that the logic of Shaolin abbot Xuan Ci was similar to that Xiao Yuanshan, and after listening to Qing Song's words of testifying against Qiao Feng's murder, he was determined that it must be Qiao Feng's ferocious attack that came to Shaolin to take revenge. Xuan Ci knew that Qiao Feng was the leader of the beggar gang, and it was not easy for Shaolin to seek revenge on him, so he wrote a letter to Xuan Nan and Xuan Lin to Zhengzhou to meet Elder Xu, who had a transcendent position in the beggar gang, to explain the truth of Qiao Feng's life experience. The leader of the beggar gang was actually a Khitan, and Elder Xu couldn't believe it. But when he summoned Ma Dayuan, who had a close relationship with Wang Jiantong, Ma Dayuan took out the suicide note left by Wang Jiantong to him, and Elder Xu had to believe it.

Xuan Lonely ignores the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but he is very old and spicy in dealing with difficult things, and he knows the deep meaning of the abbot's senior brother asking them to find Elder Xu first. With Elder Xu's status in the rivers and lakes, if he can take the lead in getting rid of Qiao Feng's gang leader, Shaolin will come to seek revenge on Qiao Feng again, and the fight between Shaolin and the beggar gang can be avoided. Although Xuan Lin didn't understand the deep meaning of Xuan Nan's move, he had always respected his senior brother. When he heard Xuan Nan's words, he stopped speaking and retreated with Xuan Nan.

Elder Xu bowed his hand to Xuan Nan and Xuan Lin to thank them for their kindness, and then turned his face to Qiao Feng and said: "Gang Master Qiao, the old man has been in the beggar gang for more than 70 years, and he has retired to the mountains and forests in the past 30 years, no longer wandering the rivers and lakes, no quarrels with others, and no grudges. I have not long lived in the world, I have no children or disciples, and I have no selfish intentions to ask myself. Today, I have come from thousands of miles away, but because this matter is related to the reputation and future of the beggar gang, there are some things that I have to say in my throat. Would you like to hear it, Helper Joe? ”

Qiao Feng hurriedly bowed and said in a deep voice, "Please ask Elder Xu for advice!" ”

Elder Xu slowly glanced around at the group of beggars in the hall, and said loudly: "It is impossible to know when our beggar gang arose, and it is passed down to the Qiao gang leader who is the eighteenth generation of gang leaders. Although it is known as the largest gang in the world, with such a big name and great prestige, the beggars, the beggars, and the beggars who can join the beggars are naturally poor and miserable. We people joined the beggar gang, not to bully others, but to form a gang in this world to protect ourselves and find a way to survive. Gang Leader Joe, do you say that's the reason? ”

Qiao Feng nodded and replied, "Elder Xu's words are true. "What happened to the previous dynasty, Qiao Feng didn't know. However, in the Great Song Dynasty, if the displaced people who lost their fields and homes did not join the beggar gang or sell themselves into slavery, they could only be stabbed and incorporated into the army. Once sold into slavery, future generations are not allowed to turn over, but all the displaced people with the slightest ambition are unwilling to take this road. However, compared with joining the army, being a slave and a slave is more noble than a warrior. It was only because the Song Dynasty had always emphasized literature over military force, and the soldiers not only did not get the most basic respect for killing the enemy, but the imperial court also gave them stabbing faces and insulting their personalities in order to prevent them from escaping. With such poor treatment, it is no wonder that no one in the world wants to be a soldier and eat food. Compared with the first two, although joining the beggar gang has a bad reputation, after all, it is at ease, and it has always been the first choice of homeless people.

Elder Xu's words touched the tragic past of many beggar disciples in the hall, and the atmosphere suddenly became much heavier.

Elder Xu sighed and said, "Since the Qiao Gang Leader took office, our beggar gang is full of talents and has become more and more powerful in the martial arts, and later set up this 'Shunfeng Dart Bureau' to help the gang become more and more prosperous, and I don't know how happy I am in my eyes. It's just that after all these years, the old man has seen the 'Shunfeng Dart Game' grow stronger and stronger, but he has become more and more aware of the wrongness. Although our beggar gang has two factions, clean clothes and dirty clothes, you can go to any beggar gang disciple, even if his family is rich, he still wears quail clothes on weekdays to show that he does not dare to forget his roots. However, since the opening of this 'tailwind dart game', the dividends have risen every year, and how many beggars are still willing to wear quail clothes? Our beggars have always been known for their loyalty, but now they are full of copper stench, and they either share or buy and sell. Although there are still many talents, how many of them are willing to devote themselves to martial arts? How many more can catch snakes? How many of them were even able to attend the rudder meetings on time? Gang Leader Joe, is our beggar gang still the beggar gang before? ”

Elder Xu's voice fell, and many of the beggar elders in the hall had already fallen into deep thought. Since the opening of the "Shunfeng Dart Bureau", the life of the beggar gang has become more and more prosperous, and many disciples in the gang really can't recognize him as a member of the beggar gang if they are still holding green bamboo sticks. Since they are beggars, most of them are naturally beggars. However, the current situation is that many disciples have broken their heads to go to the "Shunfeng Dart Bureau" to work, and when they get their salaries, they are busy repairing houses and begging for wives. But at the same time, there are disciples who are willing to work in the "Shunfeng Dart Bureau" to make a living, and there are disciples who "beg for three years, but the emperor does not do it". As a result, the laziness of begging and the laziness of begging, the accusation of begging for forgetting their roots, if it weren't for Qiao Feng's annual dividends to give a part of the dividends to the begging to make a living, I am afraid that the beggar gang would have been divided.

The elders of the beggar gang couldn't help but worry when they thought of the hidden dangers and contradictions in the gang, but Qiao Feng had really been mixed with Murong Fu for too long, and almost completely accepted his concept, and said with a smile: "Elder Xu, shouldn't you make a living and eat with your own hands in the world?" ”

Qiao Feng's question was a one-hit kill, and Elder Xu was stunned for a long time and couldn't answer Qiao Feng, "To be a human being, you should beg for a living, and you shouldn't feed your family by labor." After a while, he gritted his teeth with the green bamboo stick in his hand hatefully and said, "We are beggars!" Don't forget your roots! ”

Qiao Feng shook his head and replied, "Elder Xu also said that if you can't live, no one wants to join my beggar gang for no reason. Is begging on the street very dignified? Isn't it dangerous to catch snakes and dogs? Although our beggar disciples said that they lost their fields and could not make a living, this was due to bad luck and helplessness, and they were not willing to fall. Now that there is an opportunity for the disciples in the gang to live a good life again, why do they force them to continue to eat people's leftovers for the sake of the word 'duty'? ”

"Have you ever thought that if everyone in the gang has a permanent property and a job, then they are not beggars. If they are not beggars, where are the beggars? Elder Xu lamented.

Qiao Feng smiled at the moment: "If there is really that day, it will be the peace and prosperity of the world." Elder Xu, we should be happy! ”

Seeing that Qiao Feng was stubborn and stubborn, Elder Xu's face sank, and he said coldly: "Gang Master Qiao, you are in Cao Ying, your heart is in Han, and you are determined to dig up the foundation of my beggar gang and cut off my beggar gang's way of life!" ”

As soon as Elder Xu said this, Qiao Feng was immediately stunned, and a wave of displeasure suddenly arose in his heart. He asked himself what he did for the sake of the beggars, since the establishment of the "Shunfeng Dart Bureau", the beggars have helped the disciples improve their livelihoods. Elder Xu is so fastidious and nitpicky, which is not a shallow sight. However, Qiao Feng also knew that Elder Xu's status was transcendent and stubborn, and he couldn't be tough with him, so he immediately smiled and said: "Elder Xu, the livelihood of the beggar gang has improved, and the disciples in the gang still have a loyal heart, the beggar gang will only get better and better in the future, how can it break the future?" ”

"Loyalty?" Elder Xu snorted coldly with disdain. "The beggar gang has always been loyal to the Han people, but the old man heard that the 'Shunfeng Dart Bureau' wanted to make the deal to Daliao and Western Xia. Litong foreign country, Qiao gang leader, is this also loyalty? ”

Elder Xu's trumped-up charges were deducted, even if Qiao Feng was good, he couldn't help but be angry, so he only said slowly: "Elder Xu, knowing yourself and knowing that the other side can win all battles." ”

"I'm afraid that I'm selling dog meat on the head of a sheep!" Elder Xu still didn't give up. "Gang Leader Qiao, I think this 'Shunfeng Dart Game' is really a scourge to destroy my beggar gang, so let's close the door quickly!"

"Elder Xu doesn't know, in addition to consigning goods for merchants, this 'Shunfeng Dart Bureau' also contributes to the construction of a defense line for the soldiers of the Western Army to escort grain and grass, and it can't be closed!" Qiao Feng said categorically. "Elder Xu, the so-called people go to high places and water flows to low places, and people have the same heart and mind. The opening of the 'Shunfeng Dart Bureau' is not to ruin the future of our beggar gang, but to close the 'Shunfeng Dart Bureau' will make the beggars scattered! ”

Elder Xu turned a deaf ear and only said strongly: "In this way, Gang Leader Qiao is not willing to close the 'Shunfeng Dart Bureau' no matter what, and it is even more imperative to do business to Daliao and Western Xia?" ”

It was related to the overall situation of Murong Fu's rescue, Qiao Feng was naturally unequivocal, and said categorically: "Not bad! ”

"Good, good!" Elder Xu sighed three times in a row and said loudly. "Although Xu is old and useless, he can't ignore the future of the beggar gang, Qiao Feng, you are so perverse, how can you still be the leader of the beggar gang?"

Elder Xu was in an uproar immediately, and most of the beggars were confused, and they couldn't understand why it was obviously to discuss the future fate of the 'Shunfeng Dart Game', but in the end it came to the point of deciding Qiao Feng's position as the gang leader. The group of beggars was at a loss, and Jiang Changyun, the helmsman of the Great Righteousness Division, had already said loudly: "Elder Xu, everyone respects you as a senior in the rivers and lakes. But don't forget that now the leader of the Qiao gang is the leader of my beggar gang, he has never committed a crime, and the position of the leader of the gang is as stable as Mount Tai. Not to mention that Elder Xu is just a retired senior, it is the resurrection of the previous generation's successive gang leaders, and that is also under him! ”

Qiao Feng was in the beggar gang, and as soon as Jiang Changyun said this, the beggars in the hall immediately applauded loudly.

Jiang Changyun sang with a white face, and Wu Changfeng, one of the four elders of the Beggar Gang, jumped out and sang with a red face. "Elder Xu, everyone knows that you are loyal to the beggar gang, and I am worried that this wealth will affect the spirit of the beggar gang. Elder Xu was painstaking, and Gang Leader Qiao naturally understood. Why don't you wait for this beggar gang meeting and order the law enforcement elders to inspect the rudder to rectify the atmosphere and punish the unscrupulous, what does Elder Xu think? ”

Elder Xu was not grateful to Wu Changfeng for the steps he built, but instead glanced at him coldly, and said, "It's easy to clean up the atmosphere, but it's difficult for the beggars to not forget their roots!" What's more, what should be done with foreign countries? ”

Elder Xu made something out of nothing, Wu Changfeng had nothing to say, and immediately pulled down his face and said in a deep voice: "Elder Xu, you have violated the gang rules by slandering the gang leader Qiao like this without evidence!" ”

As soon as Wu Changfeng's voice fell, there was another bang in the hall.

Elder Xu was ridiculed twice in a row, and his face was a little unbearable, and he couldn't help but stare at Qiao Feng and said, "Qiao Feng, do you want to see the beggar gang split because of you?" ”

Elder Xu said this, but the little woman didn't dare to agree. This time, without waiting for Qiao Feng to speak, a crisp female voice sounded. Everyone followed the prestige, but saw that it was a girl in a light red shirt, it was Azhu. The little woman watched coldly, before Elder Xu arrived, the beggars were happy. As soon as Elder Xu arrived, he shouted and shouted to kill and change the gang leader. I don't know that according to Elder Xu's opinion, Qiao Daxia is not worthy of being the leader of the beggar gang, and who is worthy of his position? Elder Xu, are you? ”

Ah Zhu's two sentences clearly imply that the old man Xu is not old-hearted, and he deliberately makes trouble and hopes to be the leader of the beggar gang. Elder Xu was already displeased when he heard this, and was about to open his mouth to scold, but Ah Zi beside Ah Zhu also teased: "If the old guy has the ability to be a helper, why is he still just an elder today?" Old guy, you keep saying that the 'tailwind dart game' has broken the atmosphere of the beggar gang, and how do you know that if there is a way to live, who wants to be as cheap as you, you love to eat leftovers with a shy smile? ”

Ah Zi's two words were really ugly, and I saw Elder Xu's figure flash in front of Ah Zi, raise his arm and fan Ah Zi's face. Although Elder Xu said that he was old, he did not let go of his martial arts, and everyone saw that his palm was menacing, but the delicate Ah Zi girl would have a few less swollen teeth and half of her face today.

Unexpectedly, everyone could only hear a "snap" in their ears, and Elder Xu's slap actually hit Qiao Feng, who was blocking Ah Zi at some point. Qiao Feng's internal strength was profound, and he was only bitten by a mosquito when he was slapped on his arm, and he quietly hugged his fist to Elder Xu and apologized: "Elder Xu, Miss Ah Zi is young and ignorant, please don't be like her." ”

Although Ah Zi said that he was mean, he was speaking for Qiao Feng after all. In addition, she was brought by Wang Yuyan, so in Wang Yuyan's face, Qiao Feng also had to protect her. However, Qiao Feng didn't know that Ah Zi was at the age when her love first opened, and she was deeply distressed by Sister-in-law Deng in Yanziwu, but even her sister Ah Zhu didn't dare to speak for her. Now that Qiao Feng has stepped forward to defend her, this love root has been quietly planted.

And when Elder Xu saw Qiao Feng come forward to defend Ah Zi, his face was even darker, and he only gritted his teeth and refused to talk.

Qiao Feng didn't realize it, and said seriously: "Elder Xu's worries, the juniors have all understood. Although the beggar gang was called the beggar gang, the disciples in the gang also bought and sold and worked for a living, and not all of them begged along the streets. Although Elder Xu is a dirty clothes faction, he thinks that he can tolerate the clean clothes faction, and naturally he can also tolerate the tailwind dart game. Our gang has always been known for its loyalty, and I don't know how many times I have had secret dealings with that Da Liao and Western Xia Ming, and Elder Xu has never thought that it was a foreign country. Today's events, the younger generation thinks about it, and the reason is still in the younger generation. Dare to ask Elder Xu, what is wrong with the younger generation's behavior, which makes Elder Xu worry day and night and disbelieve in the ability of the younger generation to lead the beggar gang? ”

Qiao Feng said it so clearly, Elder Xu couldn't help but change color, and only sighed gloomily after a long time: "If it weren't for the old man who knew the truth, I'm afraid I would have deceived you by this loyal traitor!" ”

When Elder Xu said this, Qiao Feng's brows sank. He asked himself that although he had no old relationship with Elder Xu, he had never had an old grudge, and he really couldn't understand why Elder Xu suddenly targeted him like this.

Qiao Fengzheng was at a loss, and Ma Dayuan, the deputy gang leader of the beggar gang, who had always remained silent, suddenly stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Set up a tailwind dart bureau, pretending to trade with Da Liao and Xixia to find out the news, these two things have changed to any gang leader, but we will not think that he is trying to harm the beggar gang." But it's only you, it's only you......"

Qiao Feng frowned and looked at Ma Dayuan, only to see Ma Dayuan's expression change several times, and finally said loudly: "Qiao Feng, since you already know your life experience and killed the teacher, isn't it ridiculous to disguise yourself at this time?" ”
