Chapter 102: Doubts about Background (Part II)

A beggar gang conference, frequent accidents ended in failure, and the beggars were depressed in their hearts. After the meeting was dismissed, the elders of the beggar gang and the helmsman of the rudder all followed Qiao Feng to the back hall, trying to appease Qiao Feng for a few words.

Before everyone sat down, Qiao Feng actually took out a dog beating stick and said, "This beggar gang leader, I won't do it." ”

When the beggars heard this, they were shocked and hurriedly persuaded them.

Qiao Feng shook his head, raised his hand to suppress the noise that filled the room, and said slowly: "There are many people in the hall just now, and there are some things that I can't say more." At the moment, they are all their own brothers, and Qiao has no intention of hiding anything. I'm only afraid of this letter from Deputy Gang Leader Ma...... It's true. The struggle between the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao has been going on for more than 100 years, and their hatred for each other is as deep as the sea. If you teach the heroes of the world to know that the beggar gang has a Khitan gang leader, won't it make people laugh off their big teeth? …… What's more, not to mention ......" Speaking of this, Qiao Feng couldn't help but glance down at Wang Jiantong's warrant again, and saw that the letter clearly read, "There is nothing wrong with poisoning and stabbing, and the one who did it is not guilty." His eyes couldn't help but heat slightly, and he said discouragedly. I regard the Wang Gang Master as a master and a father, and I can't imagine it...... I can't imagine that he still had such doubts about me on his deathbed...... I don't want to do it! ”

Seeing that Qiao Feng was sad and disappointed, the beggars were also heartbroken. Everyone was silent for a long time, and Elder Song, one of the four elders, couldn't help but shout: "Gang Leader Qiao, this matter must be a big misunderstanding!" Don't be discouraged! ”

"Not bad! Gang Leader Qiao, this matter must be a trick of Shaolin, you can't fall for it! Dazhi divided the helmsman, Quan Guanqing, and the helmsman also spoke out to persuade at this time. Quan Guanqing, nicknamed "Shifang Xiucai", is resourceful, Qiao Feng has always relied on him, and the beggars have always admired his scheming. As soon as he spoke, he pointed the finger at the Shaolin faction of Wulin Taishan Beidou, and everyone couldn't help but prick up their ears at the same time. "Today's events were strange to me from the beginning. Shaolin Xuanku Zen Master was killed, what a big deal? Why did the Shaolin monks come to ask for guilt, but Elder Xu couldn't tell what to say? On the day of the murder of Master Xuanku, the leader of Qiao's gang was obviously at the border, but the Shaolin faction listened to it and insisted on planting the black pot on us, what is the reason? Gang Leader Qiao, think about it carefully, since our beggar gang established the Shunfeng Dart Bureau, how much money has we earned, and how much power has we gained in the martial arts? The Shaolin faction has always been the leader of the martial arts, seeing that our beggar gang is in full swing, can Abbot Xuanci not be in a hurry? At this time, if we can prove that the leader of the Qiao gang is a Khitan, and then force us to close the Shunfeng Dart Bureau, the beggar gang will not only lose face, but also lose both people and money, and Shaolin is still respected in the martial arts! ”

Quan Guanqing's conspiracy theory is really reasonable and well-founded, and the group of beggars suddenly felt enlightened, and couldn't help patting their thighs and scolding: "Good you Shaolin faction!" Thief bald donkey! He actually framed my Qiao gang leader like this and harmed my beggar gang! ”

At this time, if the two Zen masters Xuan Yan and Xuan Lin were present, they would definitely cry out for wrongdoing. It's a pity that they didn't know about it, so they couldn't justify themselves, so they had to listen to the beggar gang general Shaolin faction scolded a dog.

"Abbot Xuanci is highly respected...... "Only Qiao Feng is kind-hearted and hesitant." How could it be ......?"

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Changyun couldn't help but rush to say: "Gang Master Qiao, do you think which one of our scholars in the court of the Great Song Dynasty is not a literati gentleman who reads poetry and books?" They are much more ruthless than us when they fight! Abbot Xuanci can be the abbot of Shaolin, how can he only rely on his kind eyebrows and good eyes? "Jiang Changyun and Murong Fu have known each other for many years, I don't know how many methods I have seen, and the biggest experience in my heart is: In this world, there are open and secret battles everywhere, and the more handsome and righteous people look, the more ruthless they are!

Qiao Feng also had to be convinced, but he was still hesitant. "Having said that, it's just that Qiao is not conceited, and it is easy to take someone's head with my martial arts. The abbot of Shaolin Xuanci admits that he has a revenge against me for killing his father and mother, so he is not afraid that I will seek revenge on him? ”

Quan Guanqing smiled and said in a dark voice: "So this is where Abbot Xuanci is clever!" If the Qiao gang leader is really accused of being a Khitan, you want to go to the abbot of Xuanci to take revenge, who can agree to the Central Plains martial arts? Even if you take revenge, Abbot Xuanci is Gui Geng this year? How old is Gang Leader Joe now? If the gang leader kills Xuan Ci, he will never be able to gain a foothold in the Central Plains martial arts. Shaolin is less Xuanci and then chooses an abbot, Shaolin is still Shaolin; If the beggar gang is missing, Qiao Feng will pick a gang leader, can he still have the power he has now? ”

"Ahh When the beggars heard this, they scolded in unison, "The Shaolin faction is so vicious!" ”

Wu Changfeng saw that Qiao Feng was always depressed, so he said again: "Since Qiao Gang Leader is angry, why don't you go back and see your parents?" One qiē, the natural water comes out! It's just that this 'not a helper' can't be mentioned anymore, if you are not a helper, how can you be worthy of the Wang gang leader under Jiuquan? ”

The beggars supported him like this, Qiao Feng was naturally very moved, and couldn't help but say, "Aren't you afraid?" In case I'm really ......."

As soon as Qiao Feng said this, the group of beggars were silent. Everyone asked themselves, Ma Dayuan has been the deputy leader of the beggar gang for many years and has always been loyal to the beggar gang, how can his words be without credibility? It's just that Qiao Feng has been the leader of the beggar gang for many years, and how much credit he has made, the beggar gang is now the largest gang in the world, mostly relying on his wise leadership. If Qiao Feng is really a Khitan, the face of the beggar gang for hundreds of years will be lost, and no one wants to accept this result!

After a long time, Jiang Changyun suddenly said: "The Western Army is also a member of the party, but he is loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, and he is a good man of our Great Song Dynasty!" If you want me to say, no matter whether Qiao is a Khitan or not, as long as you are loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, you are the leader of my Jiang Changyun's convincing gang! But if you betray the Great Song Dynasty one day, then even if you are indeed a Han Chinese, even if the warrant of the Wang gang leader is indeed forged, I, Jiang Changyun, will not share the sky with you! ”

Jiang Changyun's words were crisp and neat, and the young and vigorous among the beggars couldn't help but praise in unison: "That's exactly the reason!" The old man was stubborn and stubborn because of the scene, and he had to echo twice.

Qiao Feng looked at everyone's expressions in his eyes and couldn't help but sigh slightly. He knew in his heart that the entire party clan had now been integrated into the Great Song Dynasty, and the imperial court could naturally trust the Zhi family. But the Khitan people established themselves as a country and the Han people have a deep enmity like the sea, how can they be compared? "It seems that I have to go to Shaomu Mountain after all, meet my parents, pay tribute to Xuanku Zen Master, and visit Abbot Xuanci of Shaolin by the way. If Qiao really has any misunderstanding with Shaolin and can resolve it quietly, it would be better. Speaking of this, Qiao Feng raised his head again and inspected the group of beggars in the hall again, and said slowly. When I was away, Jiang Changyun, the helmsman of the Dayi Division, served as the leader of the beggar gang. ”

Jiang Changyun was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly excused himself: "Gang Master Qiao, no, no!" ”

Quan Guanqing lowered his head and hid the trace of annoyance that flashed in his eyes. Over the years, he and Jiang Changyun have always been Qiao Feng's right-hand men, and I don't know how much credit they have made for the beggars. Quan Guanqing thinks that his intelligence is far superior to Jiang Changyun, and today's words also showed his loyalty and sincerity to Qiao Feng, but he couldn't imagine that the successor to help the master that Qiao Feng decided in his heart was still Jiang Changyun.

Qiao Feng's expression was firm, and he said lightly: "The brothers treat Qiao's heart, and Qiao has a sense of guilt." Since Qiao is the leader of the beggar gang, he should act first for the beggar gang. The reputation of the beggar gang for a hundred years must not be ruined by me alone. Qiao's life experience must be investigated clearly, and he can't teach the heroes of the world to speak. Before that, the beggars were entrusted to everyone! ”

The beggars also knew that Qiao Feng's arrangement could be attacked and defended, and they had nothing to say at the moment, only claiming that it was. It's just that this voice is coming, and I can't help but be a little depressed and uneasy. The big event was agreed, and after a while, the group of beggars in the hall slowly dispersed, and only Elder Xu, who came from Zhengzhou, stayed behind with a twist.

Qiao Feng saw that his expression was a little speechless, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "Elder Xu, if you have something to say, you might as well speak up." ”

Seeing that Qiao Feng still treated him respectfully and politely, Elder Xu couldn't help but feel even more ashamed, and only muttered: "Gang Master Qiao, Xu is old and confused, this matter should have been quietly told to you, so it would not have caused so many troubles, and it would have endangered the reputation of the beggar gang......"

Qiao Feng hurriedly waved his hand. "Elder Xu is concerned about chaos, how can I not understand?"

Elder Xu's face was hot again, and he saw him look around for a while, and then suddenly said in a low voice: "So far, there is something I must let Gang Master Qiao know, but I don't know if Gang Master Qiao can believe me?" ”

"Elder Xu, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" Qiao Feng naturally believed him.

"I still remember that Moyo was thirty years ago, it was said that a Khitan warrior wanted to go to Shaolin to steal martial arts secrets, but we received the news for the Central Plains martial arts first, and everyone thought that they should strike first. Xu Mou's martial arts skills are not good and he has not participated in this matter, and our beggar gang is the Wang gang leader. However, for some reason, after the Wang gang leader came back, he never mentioned this matter. Xu only vaguely heard him mention once after the Wang gang leader was drunk, that the wicked man's martial arts were very good, and there was not one good man who went to encircle and suppress him. Elder Xu said softly, "As far as Xu knows, in addition to this Shaolin Xuanci abbot, there were also Zhao Qiansun and Master Zhiguang of Tiantai Mountain. If you want to verify your background, you ...... Alas! I saw his gaze roaming back and forth on Qiao Feng's face, and a thousand words finally came down to a sigh. In fact, Elder Xu was confused about big things, but small things were fine. If it weren't for the message from the Shaolin faction that Abbot Xuanci had brought to Elder Xu to convince him, Elder Xu would definitely have wanted to find Zhao Qiansun and Master Zhiguang to verify the truth of Qiao Feng's background.

When Qiao Feng heard about such a secret past, he only felt that the cold air was rising and his heart became heavier and heavier, and he said after a long time: "Elder Xu's eyes are bright and his heart is bright, and the beggar gang will ask Elder Xu to take care of him in the future!" ”

After Elder Xu left, Qiao Feng sat alone in the back hall and closed his eyes and pondered. At this moment, what he was thinking about was not the mystery of his background, but Ma Dayuan's last accusation. Qiao Feng and Mrs. Ma had only met once, and she fell into the water and died that night. Qiao Feng thought that he was absolutely innocent in this matter, but Ma Dayuan insisted that he had a personal relationship with Mrs. Ma and killed her with his own hands. In the murder case of Master Xuanku, the Shaolin faction also insisted that he was the murderer. If Deputy Gang Leader Ma and the Shaolin Sect had never believed in their words, would it have killed Mrs. Ma and the real culprit of Xuanku Zen Master was the same person? Thinking that this person must be strong in martial arts and very familiar with himself, so that he can be easily flawless, Qiao Feng's eyebrows couldn't help twitching slightly.

But at this moment, there were suddenly a few knocks outside the door, and Wang Yuyan shouted outside the door: "Brother Qiao, is it convenient for me to come in?" ”

Qiao Feng hurriedly lowered his head and wiped his face, got up and welcomed Wang Yuyan in. And those who came to visit Qiao Feng with Wang Yuyan were naturally indispensable to Ah Zhu and Duan Yu, who had been sticking to Wang Yuyan. To Qiao Feng's surprise, Ah Zi also came.

Seeing Qiao Feng's gloomy expression, Wang Yuyan couldn't help but smile and said: "Brother Qiao, you grew up in the Great Song Dynasty since you were a child, and you entered the Great Song Dynasty's fish scale atlas, so you are naturally a Song person. Why did you fall in love with a forged letter? ”

Ah Zhu couldn't help but persuade: "Uncle Qiao, don't think nonsense. You are a great hero who stands up to the sky, generous and benevolent, and famous all over the world, but the Khitan people are cruel and vicious like tigers and wolves, how can you compare with you in the sky and on the earth? ”

Listening to Ah Zhu's childish words, Qiao Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly, and only said: "There are good people and bad people among the Han people, and the same is true among the Khitan people. How can a good person be a Han person, and a wicked person is the principle of the Khitan people? ”

"That's not right! Wrong! Azhu shook his head again and again, and said with a straight face. If there were good people like you in the Khitan tribe, we wouldn't hate the Khitans with our teeth. ”

Qiao Fengshi had no intention of arguing with Azhu, and couldn't help but sigh again, and only said to Wang Yuyan with a straight face: "Miss Wang, I am a rough person and don't understand the ability of literati. It's just that Mr. Song's ability to imitate the handwriting of others is not something that everyone can learn? ”

Wang Yuyan nodded slightly and said: "Although it is more difficult, Yu Yan also believes that a talent like Mr. Song is by no means the only one in this world. ”

However, despite Wang Yuyan's persuasion, Qiao Feng's face had already sunk. "But the letter is indeed the handwriting of my mentor Wang, and I won't fail to recognize it." After a pause, he asked again. "What about your cousin Murong? Why haven't you seen anyone in the past few months? ”

"My cousin was ordered by the Empress Dowager to patrol the streets of Tokyo, and my little sister heard that he has been inspecting temples in various places for the past few months." Wang Yuyan said busily.

"Do you know where he is now?" Qiao Feng asked again.

"This ......" Qiao Feng asked, and Wang Yuyan's brows furrowed. Xiaomei had heard that her cousin was going to Shaolin, but that was only a few months ago. In the past few months, he has not heard from him...... Could it be because of the busy schedule? ”

Qiao Feng had no intention of pursuing Murong Fu's current movements, so he only sighed ominously: "Shaolin? ”

Wang Yuyan saw Qiao Feng's thoughtful face, and couldn't help but be a little confused.

But when Duan Yu and Ah Zi saw Qiao Feng's expression, they suddenly said in unison: "Is Gang Leader Qiao/Brother Qiao suspicious of Murong Fu?" ”

As soon as the two of them said this, Wang Yuyan immediately stood up and said angrily: "What are these words? ”

As soon as Duan Yu saw Wang Yuyan angry, he knew that he had lost his words, and he didn't dare to speak. On the contrary, Ah Zi had no scruples, and said confidently: "That Shaolin monk is right, how many people in this world can be as strong as Brother Qiao?" If it wasn't for Brother Qiao to kill people, then it must have been Murong Fu who disguised himself as Big Brother Qiao to kill people! ”

"Nonsense!" Wang Yuyan was angry and slapped the case, "My cousin and Brother Qiao have been friends for eight years, for no reason, why did he kill Brother Qiao's mentor?" ”

Oh, yes! Why did he kill Madame Ma for no reason? Qiao Feng also said secretly in his heart. Just thinking of Murong Fu's almost gloating sneer and sigh when he picked up Madame's corpse, his heart was beating wildly, and he always felt that a big conspiracy had gradually unfolded. Thinking of this, Qiao Feng suddenly got up, and only dropped a sentence: "I'll rush back to Shaomu Mountain to meet my parents!" Miss Wang, when you get in touch with Murong, let him come to Shaomu Mountain to see me! He pushed open the window and jumped out.

Qiao Feng walked so suddenly, Wang Yuyan was startled for a moment. I saw her pacing back and forth in the hall for a few steps, and suddenly said, "Duan Gongzi, I beg you for one thing, please promise me!" ”

With Wang Yuyan's words, Duan Yu naturally went to the soup and went to the fire. "Miss Wang, what do you want me to do?"

"I know your light skills are very good, please take Azhu to chase Brother Qiao. My cousin may be in Shaomu Mountain now, he has a strong temperament, if he learns that Brother Qiao doubts him like this, he will not agree with him...... "What will happen, Wang Yuyan really doesn't dare to think about it."

Wang Yuyan had this request, and Duan Yu's expression couldn't help but darken. I saw that he reluctantly glanced at Wang Yuyan, and said bitterly: "Since Miss Wang has this request, Duan will naturally obey her fate." ”

Ah Zhu was in the middle of it, and said busily: "Okay! Good! I will definitely persuade Uncle Qiao and Son-in-law! With that, he hurriedly pulled Duan Yu out and chased him out.

Duan Yu and Ah Zhu are only strong in Qiao Feng's martial arts, and they must fight hard to catch up with him. How did the two chase them to an apricot forest on the outskirts of Hangzhou, and saw Qiao Feng standing opposite an old monk wearing a black monk's robe and covering his face with a black scarf.

I saw the black-clothed monk staring at Qiao Feng and said roughly: "You are obviously a Khitan, but you want to pretend to be a Han, and you don't even want to recognize your own biological parents, what kind of manly husband do you dare to call it?" ”

Qiao Feng had just fought with this black-clothed monk, and the martial arts of this black-clothed monk were rare in the world. At this time, hearing that the black-clothed monk also said that he was a Khitan, Qiao Feng couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly, and said in a lost voice: "Who are you?" Why do you even say I'm a Khitan? ”

The black-clothed monk couldn't help laughing when he heard this, slowly tore off his face towel, and hissed, "Who do you say I am?" ”

Under the cold moon, Duan Yu and Ah Zhu saw that the appearance of the black-clothed monk was the same as Qiao Feng! This person is Qiao Feng's biological father, Xiao Yuanshan! They were in shock, but Xiao Yuanshan suddenly groaned and fell headlong.

Seeing this, Qiao Feng hurriedly stepped forward and took Xiao Yuanshan into his arms, and when his palm touched his body, he felt the blood on his right shoulder. "Who are you?" When Qiao Feng saw that Xiao Yuanshan was seriously injured and unconscious, he was immediately shocked, and only asked questions repeatedly. "Who the hell are you? And I, who am I? I! Be! Who! Qiao Feng had a change today, and he saw Xiao Yuanshan, who was similar to himself, and the blood connection between father and son had faintly made him guess the truth. He was sad and miserable in his heart, and he couldn't help but cry out in pain. He has profound internal strength, and this shout of "Who am I" is magnificent, and the entire apricot forest is rustled.

When Duan Yu and Ah Zhu heard this, they felt inexplicably sad in their hearts, and couldn't help but be silent.
