Chapter 8 Luo Feng died in Qianjiazhuang

Five poisons plagued the old city, and Luo Feng died in Qianjiazhuang

Weng Bo said: filial piety, the scriptures of heaven, the righteousness of the earth, and the deeds of people; The beginning of Wenli is also the foundation of people. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info tempered for thousands of years, dare not be greater than filial piety, and finally be the first of all virtues. The body is skinned, and the parents are received; Be self-conscious and support your parents; Stand on the road and make a name for yourself. This is all a matter of course. Shuyun: "The five punishments belong to three thousand, and the sin is greater than unfilial piety." "Luo Feng is guilty, filial piety is not faulty, and the four are not like him in the end.

Let's say that Di, Luo, Niu, Zhang and Xiao Liuzi came to the main hall of He Zhongtang and finished sitting. Luo Feng got up, clasped his fists and saluted, and said: "Ago, when our brothers were discussing in He Zhongtang, the two apprentices of Wudang Xu Qingen, Jiang Wenhan and Zhu Qiaochun, the two disciples of the Emei faction, and the Yu Tiange of the Songshan faction, all died. ”

Di Fan took a sip of tea and said, "Do you know exactly why he died?" ”

Niu Zhongquan got up and said, "According to the report, they all died of poisoning. Before we came here, we went to the gathering place in Songshan with Yu County Ling, and Yu Tiange was indeed poisoned and died, and he should have killed him. Because of the important relationship, Yu County ordered one to stay there, and specially ordered our brother to come to the eldest brother, hoping that the eldest brother would give him an idea. "Yu Tiange is the second son of Yu Xingxiao, the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, and it is obvious that dying in the old city is a troublesome matter.

Di Fan was quite calm, and said: "I know about this, Brother Liushunzi is here, you go first, help Yu County Order more, and don't make trouble with Songshan." And they all took the commandment, and they all went. Di Fan went to Zhong Yuxue first, asked her to call Fang Yujing and Hou Yuduan, and immediately returned to the gathering place of the Emei faction. Di Fan went to He Guisheng's windowsill to take a look, and when he saw that he had fallen asleep, he went out of He Zhongtang with Zhang Shunzi.

However, it is said that the gathering of the Songshan faction is located in the northeasternmost corner of the old city, the gathering of the Emei faction is located at the intersection of the north-south line of the county government and the east-west line of the Yingbin Building, and the gathering of the Wudang faction is located in the southeasternmost position of the old city. It stands to reason that Di Fan may go to the gathering place of the Emei faction first, or in order to show respect, he should also go to the gathering place in Songshan first. However, Di Fan and Zhang Shunzi went to Wudang's residence first, and they arrived in a short time. Wudang's gathering place is called Qingyaju, there are three officials with lamps squatting at the door, there is no one in the courtyard and living room, and Xu Qingen and all the disciples in the backyard are there, and there are also two officials guarding the door of the room where Jiang and Zhu died. When Di Fan came, he saw Xu Qingen's sad face, but his eyes were looking around. Xu Qingen also saw Di Fan coming, and immediately walked up to Di Fan and said something like being the master for him and avenging the second apprentice. Naturally, Di Fan also comforted him.

Then, Di Fan asked: "Dare to ask your seniors, when were your two beloved apprentices, Jiang and Zhu, killed?" How do you know? ”

Xu Qingen accepted his grief and said: "About halfway through the hour, because they knew that the old man would recognize his life when he slept, so they went to the room to arrange it first, so that the old man could sleep peacefully." I've always had a habit of taking two sips before bed, and this is here. After a while, I heard a scream from my two unscrupulous disciples. By the time I got in, they were all dead. After speaking, Xu Qingen burst into tears again, and the disciples nodded yes.

Di Fan asked again: "At that time, was there any warning?" ”

Xu Qingen thought for a while and said, "It's nothing, I remember that when the light was turned on in the room, I heard a short melodious flute sound, and then I ・・・・・・" As he spoke, Xu Qingen became sad. Di Fan comforted him a few more words, and then went to the scene of Jiang and Zhu's deaths. When they entered the room, Jiang and Zhu each fell directly below the beam. When they looked closer, their faces were purple and black. When he looked closely, there was some viscous liquid beside the two of them, and Di Fan collected some with a hand towel and put it in his arms. Di Fan asked Zhang Shunzi to go to the beam of the house to investigate, and searched and checked around. Zhang Shunzi got the coat of a frog and the molt of a snake on the beam of the house and showed it to Di Fan. Di Fan also wrapped it in a hand towel and put it away, not finding anything unusual around. After a short time, the two resigned from Xu Qingen, left Qingyaju, and went to the gathering place of the Emei faction, and at the same time asked Zhang Shunzi to kill the horse pistol, stay on the periphery of Qingyaju, continue to monitor, and ordered some things.

When Di Fan came out of Qingyaju, suddenly a dark shadow swept past him and headed towards Qijiabao. When Di Fan looked at it, the black shadow was already far away, and he immediately chased after it. After a while, the man in black noticed that he turned around and slashed at Di Fan with a palm. Di Fan dodged and stood firmly, but the man in black did not leave. The two didn't speak, but they made moves, either offensive or defensive, for more than 50 rounds, and there was no victory. The man in black bought a flaw, he didn't want to fight, and when he wanted to leave, Di Fan grabbed the placket of his shirt and tore off a piece. When Di Fan looked closely, it was a purple and black silk scarf again. At this time, the man in black had already left his sight, leaving a sentence: If Zhiduoxing can't solve the case of the Gao family, I would like to introduce you to join my Manichaeism and become an apologist. Di Fan was surprised, and thought: Who is this person, what is it for appearing in the old city at this time, is it just passing by, what is the connection with the man in black who he met in the welcome building before, what is the relationship with the Gao case, why are they all wearing purple and black silk scarves, where did they come from?

Undecided, Di Fan had already walked to Qijiabao. Because when Xiao Liuzi, Luo Feng, Niu Zhongquan and Zhang Shunzi were on their way to He Zhongtang, they met Xiangxiang. Xiao Liuzi told him that Xiangxiang was going to the Champs Red House to get fast. Di Fan was originally puzzled, the third sister would never tell Xiangxiang to go out so late, but there was no proofing time in the Champs Red Mansion. Since Di Fan arrived at his door, he wanted to know what was going on. Di Fan didn't knock on the door, he went directly over the wall and went in the direction of his third sister Qi Lan'er. However, Qi Lan'er's courtyard and living room were never lit, but she saw a figure in the peach blossom forest. Di Fan followed closely, and suddenly saw the black shadow man fall, and made a sound. Di Fan could hear that it was Xiangxiang's voice, and hurriedly went to support. During the support room, Xiangxiang was very shy, escaped in a hurry, and entered the house, but Di Fan stepped on something. When he picked it up and looked at it, Di Fan knew that this was the pendant on the jade flute that Xiao Liuzi sent Xiangxiang during the Lantern Festival this year, or what Xiangxiang requested. Thinking of this, Di Fan blessed the two of them, and wanted to return it to her, but Xiangxiang had already latched on the door, so he didn't say much. Di Fan didn't bother the others, he went to change his clothes, climbed over the wall and went out of Qijiabao, and went to the gathering place of the Emei faction.

The two disciples of the Emei faction did not die in the room, but in the corridor, and directly above them were also the beams of the house. The physical characteristics of the two were almost the same as those of Jiang and Zhu, and they also died of poisoning. Upon inspection, it was found that the scorpion venom and the black widow spider venom were in the middle. After a short time, Di Fan asked the officials to transport the body to the morgue of the county government. Song Qiaoxi has always been worried, and it makes sense to think about it. After the body was removed, Song Qiaoxi retreated, let everyone go down to rest, and invited Di Fan to go to the private room on the second floor to talk. Di Fan was surprised, but still followed.

The two sat down, and Song Qiaoxi poured tea for Di Fan, which made Di Fan very uncomfortable. Song Qiaoxi said in a deep voice: "Recently, there have been murders in the old city, and Song feels that there are some things to make clear to Di Shaoxia. Di Fan naturally listened.

Song Qiaoxi continued: "When Yuxue and the others came back, they had already informed Song of what Wang Congrong said about Zhonghengguo, and I hope that Di Shaoxia will not mind. Since Di Fan let Fang, Hou, and Zhong know, he naturally didn't think it was a secret, and it didn't hurt to let Song Qiaoxi know, so he didn't say anything.

Song Qiaoxi took a sip of tea, looked back on the past, and said: "In the twenty-sixth year of the establishment of power in Zhongheng Kingdom, Xiao Gao Laizi asked Yu Xingxiao, the leader of the Wulin League, to say that Di Shichong, the lord of Zhongheng Kingdom, will take the jewelry that their tribe has operated in China for three hundred years and the secrets of the Central Plains that they have collected, and prepare to sneak back to the grassland and reorganize the iron horse majesty of the year. Taking advantage of the war in the Central Plains, he raised troops to the south in one fell swoop, wanting to control the Central Plains. Xiao Gao Laizi also took out some so-called evidence to show the leader of the Yu League, saying that now the officials and soldiers only know how to kill each other, and they don't plan to make a big deal at all, and they hope that the leader of the alliance can be the first in the world. Lord Yu thought about it again and again, and still sent someone to Zhongheng Kingdom to investigate, and the result was really as Xiao Gao Laizi said. Therefore, the Lord of the Yu League secretly released a heroic post and gathered many good players on the rivers and lakes, including Songshan, Shaolin, Wudang, Emei faction, Kongtong, Kunlun and some small sects, as well as the Nanping Kingdom led by Xiao Gao Laizi. Of course, Xiao Gao Laizi, Yu Tiange, Xu Qingen, and Song are all in the ranks. Everyone was thunderous in an instant, and in the middle of the night, the blood washed the capital of Hengguo. In the beginning, everyone was targeted and did not kill the people. But first, if you want to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and secondly, if you kill them, you will kill them all together. The lives of more than 100,000 people were all over the place overnight. Looking back on it so far, it is all terrified, and the six gods have no master. When one meditates, one always feels that there are many hellish fires calling. ”

Di Fan asked, "What about later?" ”

Song Qiaoxi continued: "Later, I didn't find any secrets of the Central Plains in the palace at all, this is really a stupid sin of the heavens, and the martial arts people can't redeem it!" ”

Di Fan asked again: "What about the so-called treasure?" ”

Song Qiaoxi was very distressed and said, "I heard that the treasure is true. Legend has it that the treasure map is divided into four, one for the lord, one for the queen, one for the princess, and one in the martial arts. However, only the treasure map is not useful, and you must have a key to open the trap. I heard that only the lord of the country knows the key and how to open it. Di Shichong also received the assistance of Taiyuan Zhenren to establish the regime, Di Shaoxia is the successor of Taiyuan Zhenren, so he told this matter in detail, hoping that Di Shaoxia would solve the case as soon as possible, which was not only the case of many years of injustice, but also solved Song's knot. ”

Di Fan originally wanted to ask about Taiyuan Zhenren, but since Song Qiaoxi thought that he was the descendant of Taiyuan Zhenren, if he asked, he was afraid that it would be difficult to end for a while, and it was not that he deliberately concealed it in his heart. Di Fan also asked Song Qiaoxi's second master Bo Wei about the enmity, and he explained them all in detail. In the end, Song Qiaoxi said to Di Fan earnestly: "Di Shaoxia, if he dies under the sword of the avenger one day, I don't ask Di Shaoxia to avenge me." It's just that one generation doesn't care about the affairs of two generations, and the disciples of my Emei faction are innocent, and I hope that Di Shaoxia will escort them back to Mount Emei for the sake of the friendship between the Emei faction and Taiyuan Zhenren back then. ”

Di Fan could hear Song Qiaoxi's sincere language, with twelve points of sincerity, and said: "It's really as I said just now, Song Daxia was also deceived by others. Not to mention anything else, the incident happened in the old city, and we also have the responsibility to sort out this case and give everyone an explanation. I believe that Song Daxia has a heart of repentance, and God will also favor you. When the time comes, it will be Song Daxia himself who will lead the disciples back to the mountain. Song Qiaoxi felt that Di Fan was different from ordinary people, he spoke sincerely and was not formal, and the two continued to chat, but the atmosphere was much better. After more than an hour, the two came out, only to see Zhong Yuxue waiting outside. Song Qiaoxi didn't say anything, and motioned for the two of them to rest at will. Zhong Yuxue looked at Di Fan with a smile on her face, and Di Fan took her hand and walked out of the Emei faction's gathering place. The two are very sweet and happy.

Not long after, Di Fan and Zhong Yuxue came to Lao Wu Silk Village from the back door. Because Di Fan didn't know whether the death of the shopkeeper Wu was related to Gao's case, he went to the outside of the wing room, and the two sat on the threshold. Di Fan didn't say anything about Gao's strange case, and Zhong Yuxue was happy as long as she was with Di Fan. In the moonlight, the two of them talked about some happy things, and nothing else. Not long after, Zhong Yuxue fell asleep on Di Fan's shoulder, and Di Fan also fell asleep in a haze when he thought about Gao's case again.

At dawn, Zhong Yuxue woke up, opened her eyes, and saw that Di Fan had been staring at her, but she was a little embarrassed. The two laughed for a while, Di Fan asked her to go back first, and said that after lunch, please go to Qianjiazhuang to watch the play and listen to the historian. The two parted with each other, but Di Fan still sent her to the door of the Emei faction gathering house, and then rushed back to Lao Wu Silk Village. Seeing that there were still people coming and going in the village, after inquiry, it turned out that the owner of Qibao had made people hide from Wu's shopkeeper. Di Fan didn't ask much, walked to the side door, and when he arrived at the side room where the shopkeeper Wu died, he saw a servant cleaning and tidying up the room. Di Fan was very pleased, after all, there were still people who remembered the benefits of Shopkeeper Wu. When the servant saw Di Fan coming, he knelt down and said: "I am the small bag of the shopkeeper Wu before his death, and I have to take care of the shopkeeper Wu, and the wife of the castle owner, so I dare to come here to clean, I hope that when the shopkeeper Wu comes to the silk village again, he will also have a clean place to live." As he spoke, Xiaobao burst into tears. Di Fan hurriedly helped him up and told him to take care of this room.

The two chatted for a while, so sad! Xiao Bao suddenly said to Di Fan: "Not long after the eldest young master left the silk village, the shopkeeper Wu said to the little one that he still owes wine money in the Champs Red Mansion, and you must let me tell you, I hope the eldest young master will pay him back as soon as possible." ”

Di Fan was puzzled in his heart, knowing that the shopkeeper Wu was not short of money, although he was a little addicted to alcohol, but he only had three meals a day, and the amount of alcohol he drank at each meal was limited, so how could he owe a wine debt if he had never been drunk? I didn't know for a while, but I still responded. Not long after, Di Fan left the old Wu Silk Village and went to the Champs Red Mansion. The Champs Red House is between the old Wu Silk Village and the gathering place of the Emei faction, Di Fan went out and arrived, and there were many people who came here to eat and drink. The Champs Red House is a three-storey restaurant, in addition to the delicacies of the usual restaurant, it is mainly famous for the aged daughter red, and the food here is also first-class, so it was named the Champs Red House. The golden four words in the middle of the gate: Champs Red Building, on the left and right lintels: but when I hear the daughter of the world, I am looking for a good building in the old city. The owner of the Red Mansion is surnamed Jin Qianyou, the single word is Xin, known as the owner of the Four Golden Mansions, in the year of not being confused, medium stature, fat physique, shiny oil, dressed in ordinary plain clothes, wrapped in a green turban on his head, fat face, jujube red face, high forehead, hands wrapped round, at a glance is a rich person. His motto: May the Champs Red Mansion prosper in business, and my daughter will be happy in her life. Because Di Fan and his brothers drink on weekdays, they are all in this Champs Red Mansion, and they have a lot of reputation in the old city, so the owner of the Four Golden Mansions saw Di Fan coming, and greeted him with a smile. Di Fan got straight to the point, saying that he was paying back the wine money for Shopkeeper Wu, and asked him how much he owed. Jin Xin thought for a while and said, "Shopkeeper Wu never owed Jin money for wine, only a small jar was left in my place. Because he was an old acquaintance with Lao Wu, Jin didn't ask much, so he helped him save it, but he never thought that you would pick it up. Jin Xin sighed and went to the backyard to get the jar.

After Jin Xin left, a woman's crisp voice came from behind: "Brother Xiaofan is here, and I didn't tell my little sister earlier, my little sister is waiting for my brother to prepare wine and food." When this person came out, Di Fan looked at it: in the year of Huaxin, he had a beautiful figure, the upper body was a butterfly-colored embroidered blouse, the lower body was a jade-colored gold silk skirt, the head was wearing a silk jasper hairpin, the emerald earrings were hung in his ears, there was a phoenix-like gold bracelet on his wrist, and a gold silk belt around his waist. The eyes are like autumn water, the face is like looking at the moon, the hair is like a cut, the two leaves are like picturesque willow eyebrows, and the smile ushers in the rosy lips. This is Jin Xin's only daughter, surnamed Jin Mingshu, the word Zhaoyue, and walked towards Di Fan in a generous manner.

Di Fan didn't care if anyone was there, he only smiled: "Sister Zhaoyue, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I'm beautiful again, it's really a day by day!" ”

Jin Zhaoyue was very happy and said, "Why is my brother coming alone, but what about the other brothers?" "Because Di Fan and the brothers usually came, they were greeted by Jin Zhaoyue in person, everyone was of the same age, and they could chat, so they were all friends.

Di Fan pretended to be serious and said, "They have their own business trips, I think they forgot about Zhaoyue, it's been so many days, and I haven't seen my brothers mention you, so I'm here alone." ”

Jin Zhaoyue put on a very unhappy look, as if she was angry, and said, "You are not good brothers, you have been together for so long, and you forgot about me all of a sudden." Brother Xiaofan is the same, he came to see my father, not to see me. After saying that, he pretended to cry.

Di Fan hurriedly pulled her aside, panicked and said, "I'm sorry, it's Xiaofan who is not good, it was nonsense just now." You should know that there were murders in the old city, and now there are seven lives. Your other brothers are investigating the case, Yu County's order only gave seven days, and now everyone is busy. Zhaoyue doesn't cry or cry, her brothers are not such affectionate people, but they haven't had time recently, you know? What does Xiaofan bring you? As soon as the words fell, Di Fan took out a pig-faced tumbler and showed it to Jin Zhaoyue.

Jin Zhaoyue raised her head suddenly, there were no tears at all, and there was no crying expression, she took the tumbler, but said happily: "Of course I know this, I did it on purpose." What a cute tumbler piggy, Brother Xiaofan loves me the most. Because of curiosity, Jin Zhaoyue has been playing with this tumbler.

Di Fan was speechless. After a while, Jin Xin came with the jar, handed it to Di Fan, and said happily: "Young Master Di, don't bring gifts to Yue'er every time you come, you will spoil her." ”

Di Fan took the jar and said, "Zhaoyue is my brother, and I treat her as a good sister, as it should be, and it is not a precious thing." After speaking, Jin Zhaoyue made a grimace, and Di Fan and Jin Xin laughed. Jin Xin's father and daughter wanted to stay with Di Fan to eat and drink, but because of the Gao case, Di Fan left the Champs Red Mansion. Before leaving, Di Fan asked Jin Zhaoyue to go to Qianjiazhuang after lunch to listen to people talk about books and opera.

Di Fan walked out of the Champs Red Mansion and walked to the county office. Di Fan walked all the way, and met He Shi, who was not very sober, Di Fan could see that he was thinking about things, so he walked up to him first and said hello. He Shi and I were interrupted by Di Fan, saluted him, and told him about going to the welcome building yesterday, and said that when I woke up, I was lying on my bed, I didn't drink much, but I woke up in a daze. He Shi said: "I can't remember some details for a while, as if I have been blown away by a colorless and tasteless ecstasy. When you think about it, it looks like someone has already arranged it. ”

Di Fan thought for a moment and said, "Brother Fulao, think about it again and see if you can think of something more." If not, explore again. Brother's body is okay, right? ”

Master He, I saluted again and said, "If Brother Lao is concerned, there is no big problem." After speaking, the two of them had arrived at the county office. Di Fan went to Wen Cheng on business and asked Master He to go to the morgue to have a look. After a while, the two of them left the county office together, turned a corner, and went to Luofeng's Luo house. Luo's house, just north of the old city and county government, is only separated by a small aisle. After a short time, Di Fan and He Shi and I arrived, and when we entered the door, we saw Yu Duo and his wife, Niu Zhongquan, Luo Feng and his mother Ning, Xiao Liuzi, Zhang Shunzi, Yang Wulang, Bai Liang, Qi Lan'er, Xiangxiang and Wang Congrong were all there, and some servants stood sideways, just waiting for Di Fan and He Shi and I to come and start the banquet. Di Fan saw that although Luo Feng's mother Ning was in the year of Jiazi, with gray hair and thin body, she was full of energy, her eyes were bright, her ears were clear, and she was very happy for Luo Feng. During the banquet, Di Fan asked Luo Feng about strange things, and Luo Feng replied with words related to filial piety to his mother, brotherhood and protecting the safety of the old city. Everyone felt inexplicable, but they couldn't say why, they just ate and drank, especially Zhang Shunzi and Wang Congrong were very happy. Due to Xiangxiang's presence, Xiao Liuzi is still relatively regular. The same is true of the Yuduo prefectural order. However, the Ning family was very concerned about Luo Feng, so he asked Di Fan, lifted his breath, and said toughly: "Feng'er's brother, is my Feng'er a crime?" If so, you have to teach him a good lesson, but you can't let outsiders gossip about our Luo family. ”

Di Fan naturally said: "Auntie, my eldest brother Luo is very capable, I asked him in front of everyone just now, it was to see the eldest brother's ability to adapt temporarily, I am afraid that the eldest brother will be promoted, forget his roots, and do stupid things." Aunt doesn't know yet, the reason why I am eating here today is because Brother Luo will be on duty there for a while tomorrow at Anyuan Festival. Among the brothers, except for the youngest son, Dashan is the youngest. My brothers trusted me, so they called me the eldest brother. Naturally, my brother has a future and a future, and I will instruct him. Everyone nodded yes, only Luo Feng really didn't know, and he didn't understand what Di Fan meant.

Although the Ning family didn't hear Luo Feng talk about it, he thought that his son was both filial and capable, and it was of course the best to go to Anyuan to make an errand. Ning didn't think much about it, he trusted Di Fan and the others, so he was naturally happy in his heart, so he said: "Feng'er, look at it, this is a happy event, why didn't you tell Wei Niang earlier?" Today, I am very happy, my wife, I came to everyone to make this glass of wine, and I thank you for your help to him for Feng'er. Everyone drank it, and they also advised Ning to drink it at will, and it didn't have to be all dry. Where is Ning's willing, drink it all. This group of people basically grew up under the Ning family's watch, and naturally knew that her son's group of brothers were both informal and very heroic, and she herself was open-minded, as long as her son believed in something, she was very supportive most of the time. So the relationship between the mother and son is very good, and I really envy others! However, Luo Feng was confused, he didn't know which one Di Fan was singing, and he couldn't figure it out, so he just drank, sometimes raising a glass for his mother, and sometimes inviting everyone to toast. The atmosphere of the meal was good and everyone was happy. Although everyone did what Di Fan said according to his arrangement, they really didn't know Di Fan's true purpose. After a while, everyone was almost eating and drinking, or walking on their own, or with the help of servants, all thinking about Qianjiazhuang. Along the way, Qi Lan'er kept asking Di Fan, asking him why Luo Feng was promoted, and Di Fan had to give an explanation. Di Fan only smiled and whispered to Qi Lan'er: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed. Qi Lan'er was very unhappy, so she kept pestering her eldest brother.

After a while, everyone arrived at Qianjiazhuang. At this time, the other two historians, six people from the Kunlun faction, Kongtong Sisha, and Song Qiaoxi, Zheng Yusong, Hou Yuduan, Fang Yujing and Zhong Yuxue from the Emei faction had just arrived. This is what Di Fan asked Zhang Shunzi to ask him to invite before going to Luo's house. After inquiry, they learned that Jin Zhaoyue was already in the backyard, and Zhang Shunzi and Yang Wulang went to find Jin Zhaoyue first. The six members of the Kunlun faction all walked up to Di Fan first and said a lot of kind words. Di Fan naturally cared about Zhong Yuxue, so he asked about her injury. Everyone saluted, and after a few words, they entered Qianjiazhuang and walked to the backyard. That's fine.

Qian Wanguan had already asked his subordinates to prepare to stop, and it was divided into four stages: east, south, west, and north, with seats in the center, and the pomp was neither flashy nor tacky. What you like to see and listen to is up to the viewer's hobby.

To the east is the historian of the Southern Tang Dynasty, telling the legends and stories of the Tang monks learning scriptures, such as making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, three dozen white bone spirits, and trapping the Five Elements Mountain; To the south is the historian of the Chu State, who said that the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, such as: Cao Cao, the traitor in the troubled times, Liu Bei, who loves to cry, Emperor Guan of the righteous Bo Yuntian, Kong Rong of the seven sons of Jian'an, etc.; To the west is the somewhat drunk Wang Congrong, who said the legend of Sun Tzu, "The Art of War", and "Thirty-six Strategies", mainly through the "Thirty-six Strategies" to explain historical stories, legendary figures and myths and legends; To the north is the entertainment in Qianjiazhuang, such as Mulian opera, shadow puppet play, Chenhe opera and so on. Everyone was very happy, or gathered in the north, or in the east, or in the south, and the lone relatives Lan'er and Zhong Yuxue were close to Di Fan and gathered in the west. When I looked at it again, Luo Feng took care of his mother Ning Shi and talked and laughed, Xiao Liuzi and Xiangxiang were amused, Yu Duo laughed and served his wife, Zhang Shunzi, Yang Wulang, and Jin Zhaoyue chatted while eating together, Kunlun Six and Kongtong drank happily, and everyone was happy.

Just when everyone was happy, Di Fan quietly invited Luo Feng to the hall. Di Fan sits, and Luo Feng stands. Di Fan took a sip of tea and said to Luo Feng, "Is it time for Brother Luo to have something to say to me?" ”

Luo Feng pretended to be confused and said, "I don't know what the eldest brother heard? ”

Di Fan said sincerely: "Twenty years ago, there was a captain of the guard who protected the princess of Zhonghengguo and escaped that catastrophe. I guess you're the captain of the guard, right?! ”

"It is said that the eldest brother is smart, but the eldest brother has such a rich imagination, I really admire ・・・・・・!" Luo Feng clenched the knife as he spoke.

Di Fan took out a pair of official boots from behind and said, "This was found from your wing room in the yamen, I wonder if you remember anything now?" It turned out that Zhang Shunzi left He Zhongtang again, but he did it.

Luo Feng was surprised and said, "How could these ・・・・・・ such small boots be in my room?" ”

"That night, I asked Brother Shunzi to go to the end of the day room in the welcome building to compare, just right. You may not know that when Brother Shunzi left the room at the end of the day, he had sprinkled thick incense ash in the room. I think when you went in, as soon as you saw no one, you were tricked, so you hurried out and hurried back to the yamen. When you changed your clothes and were about to hide, you met Xiao Liuzi shouting and urging you to go to He Zhongtang. Brother Luo was very panicked at that time, and he must have not had time to destroy the evidence, so he changed his clothes and left. Let's listen to Xiao Liuzi say that you had a smell of incense ash on your body at that time. Just as you were waiting for you to get out of the county office, Brother Shunzi went in and got his boots. Di Fan explained, "Also, I have checked the copywriting about you in the county office, and there was no record about you twenty years ago, why is this?" I think of Wang Congrong who said that Zhonghengguo experienced that catastrophe, and a month later, all the documents and materials about Zhonghengguo were destroyed. As for these boots, the bottom edge has been squeezed out a lot, and there is still residual incense ash, I think Brother Luo should say something, right? ”

Luo Feng accentuated his tone and said, "Yes, I killed all the people." Big brother is big brother, I can't hide anything from you. After speaking, he lifted the knife to his chest.

Di Fan still spoke in a peaceful tone, and said: "You don't have to use your voice to suppress people, no matter what, we have been brothers for many years, even if we don't consider this layer, your mother is in the backyard, does Brother Luo want her old man to know?" Di Fan saw that Luo Feng was slowly calming down, so he continued: "I'll just ask you one question, did you know in advance about the murder of Shopkeeper Wu?" ”

Luo Feng lifted the Pu knife, pointed at Di Fan, and said, "As long as the eldest brother lets me go this time, I promise not to interfere in the Gao case again!" ”

Di Fan listened to Luo Feng's strong tone, there was no room for negotiation, and just as he was about to speak, Qi Lan'er and Zhong Yuxue rushed over and hurriedly stopped him. Zhong Yuxue protected Di Fan, Qi Lan'er stood in front of Luo Feng's knife, and said loudly: "Brother Luo, you are crazy, he is your eldest brother!" You dare to take the sword and point it at it, for you are unjust; You are all doing things for the old city, and you are doing this for disloyalty; My aunt is still watching the play in the back hall, you are unfilial to do this; According to your age, you are still my eldest brother's respected brother Luo, you are unkind to do this. Brother Luo, you can't do anything disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust, otherwise how will your aunt be good? "It turned out that when Di Fan left, although Qi Lan'er was chatting with Zhong Yuxue very devotedly, she had already paid attention. And Zhong Yuxue cares about Di Fan so much, so she naturally pays attention to it.

Luo Feng is still a person who attaches equal importance to righteousness and filial piety, I heard that at this point, Pu Dao had already landed, landed on his knees, and said to Di Fan: "Big brother, I have my last resort, I know all aspects, many things are not what we see on the surface, but I still admire big brother very much." I'm sorry though, but I won't say anything. As for the death of the shopkeeper Wu, I only learned about it from the county government. ”

He continued, "I hope that my eldest brother can take care of my mother for me for the sake of brotherhood for many years, and I beg my eldest brother." After speaking, he knocked his head three times in a row, and tears came out of his eyes and flowed down. Qi Lan'er and Zhong Yuxue saw that Luo Feng put down the Pu Dao, and their hearts relaxed a lot.

Di Fan also knew that Luo Feng was very righteous, and he was even more helpless when he saw Luo Feng like this, so he didn't ask any more, but said: "Brother, get up, the reason why I looked for you alone and didn't call Yu Xianling and others to come is mainly for you and your aunt." No matter how much wrong someone makes, filial piety is right. Brother Luo, you will have an excuse in a while, bring your aunt out, and take care of your aunt by yourself, no one can replace this matter. I hope that I will be able to do it myself in the future, there is no news of you in the government and in the rivers and lakes, is it okay? ”

Luo Feng thanked him and said, "As long as the eldest brother can take good care of my mother, Luo Feng promises that he will not do it in the future." With that, a mouthful of black blood spat out of his mouth, and he fell. It turned out that Luo Feng knew that the matter was exposed, and he had already made preparations for taking poison. Di Fan hurriedly called He Shi and me, and everyone came to the hall for a while. Seeing his son like this, Ning was extremely distressed and fainted.

Luo Feng hurriedly said: "Quick, Brother He, save my mother first, wake up my mother." "There was blood in my mouth all the time, and I knew that I couldn't save it. A group of brothers surrounded Luo Feng, and no one wanted to see such a scene, and Niu Zhongquan and Yang Wulang used internal force to protect his heart. Xiangxiang fell to the ground, crying bitterly. Luo Feng approached Di Fan and said, "Big brother, in fact, we are just here to ・・・・・・" Before he finished speaking, he had already passed out. Di Fan asked Niu Zhongquan and Yang Wulang to step back, and only said: "Master He, I, save my aunt!" ”

At this moment, a woman's words came from outside the village gate: "I heard that there is a four-person in the old city, and it turns out to be here." When Di Fan and the others looked back, there was a group of five people, four men and one woman, the woman was the leader, and the four men followed respectfully. Di Fan listened to the voice, very familiar; When I see him, I also have a sense of familiarity; When I looked at it again, I didn't recognize it.

I don't know who this woman and the four men are, and I don't know what happened to Luo Feng and his mother Ning's lives, so I want to know more and listen to the narrative of the ninth chapter of "Heroes of the Troubled Stones".
