Volume I, Chapter 82, Court Trial
After delaying Xu Jiangcheng's escorts, Hong Liang chatted with the elders while desperately thinking about a way. Now it's impossible to hide it and quietly dispose of that person, now that the person has gone to the island, he can't even secretly kill the outsider, and he can only hope that it won't involve the whereabouts and instructions of the old gang leader.
An hour soon arrived, and the disciples outside the door came to the hall to pray, and someone brought it.
Adult Xu Jiang escorted Xie Budong, who was wearing a black hood, to the justice hall, and Hong Jun took five of his men to kneel on the ground to salute.
Although it has entered the new century, this traditional gang kneeling etiquette is still a basic etiquette, especially for peripheral disciples of their status.
"Get up. Hong Liang glanced at everyone and said lightly.
"Yes. Hong Jun and the others stood up and stood on both sides.
"Take off this man's hood, I have something to ask. ”
The hood and earplugs were taken off in turn, Xie Budong's eyes reappeared brightly, he quietly looked around, and now he was in a huge living room, similar to the common yamen lobby on TV, and there was a person sitting directly above, who looked to be in his forties, with an extraordinary square face, and should be the actual head of the beggar gang, Hong Liang.
The two sides were lined up with people at once, and it was estimated that there were no less than twenty people seated in the hall at this time, not to mention the men standing behind them.
Hong Jun looked at the young man in the hall, he looked like he was about twenty years old, because his hands and feet were shackled and he couldn't move, he couldn't see what his strength was, and he lowered his head a little nervously at this time and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Young man, do you know what brought you here?" After pondering for a long time, Hong Liang asked, although this young man was very nervous, and even his body was a little trembling, but occasionally raised his head from his gaze, Hong Liang could feel from his calm eyes that he was not as unbearable as he appeared.
"I don't know. Xie Budong replied in a low voice.
"Let me ask you, where did you learn this martial art?"
Xie Budong raised his head and looked at Hong Liang, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he hesitated and said, "You.... Are you Hong Liang of the Beggar Gang?"
"You know me?" Hong Liang looked at him with interest. "I'm Hong Liang. ”
"About five years ago, when I was still in middle school, one day I met an old beggar at the school gate, and when I saw that he was pitiful, I gave him two yuan, which was my food money for a day. ”
According to the plan, Xie Budong said nonsense: "I thought that this old beggar should not be a madman, what age is he still lecturing martial arts, I teased him and said: 'You are a beggar's gang.'" Unexpectedly, he actually admitted it, saying that he was the leader of the beggar gang, seeing that I was talented and kind-hearted, and wanted to teach me a lifelong study. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall.
"Doll, what does the person you see look like, and where did you see it!?"
"Honest and unscrupulous, the old gang leader is highly respected, and there are many talented people in the beggar gang, how can they casually accept people all the way as apprentices!"
"A disciple reported that you have fourth-order strength, how could you have cultivated from a mortal to a fourth-order in just five years?"
......
The hall was in chaos, there were reprimands, and there were inquiries, Xie Budong didn't know who to answer, so he had to look at Hong Liang like a help.
"Ladies and gentlemen. As soon as Hong Liang spoke, everyone's voices gradually subsided. Whether this son is talking nonsense or not, he listens to him and then makes a final conclusion. You go on and say, what's going on next. ”
"Yes. Xie Budong nodded and continued: "I didn't believe it at the time, who knew that the old beggar dragged me to a no-man's land, so scared that I thought I had been kidnapped. When he reached the wasteland, the old beggar jumped up to a tree five or six meters high, and flew down lightly, so I believed it.
Later, he gave me a set of cheats, and gave me a black pill for me to take, and told me to practice diligently, and when I practiced this exercise to the peak, I would go to Taidong Province to find some Taiyue Group, saying that naturally someone would take me to get the rest of the cheats.
After I took that pill, I felt full of energy, and there seemed to be inexhaustible strength in my body, and then when I practiced that what dragon descending technique, it was also very smooth, just this year I practiced the three dragon descending eighteen palms to the peak, and the dragon descending technique has also been cultivated to the peak of the fourth layer, thinking of what the old beggar said, I came to Anji City to find the Taiyue Group when I was in Han's house. ”
"Is that so?" Hong Liang looked at Hong Jun and asked, "Why didn't you say such an important thing?"
"Back to the beam, this son is complete nonsense. Hong Jun replied according to the plan: "I was not at the headquarters that day, according to the security personnel at the door, this person came to the headquarters to break in, and did not say who to find, the security personnel stopped him and had a quarrel with him, so he fought hard, injured many of my security guards in a row, and injured many disciples who rushed to stop him, until I came back to subdue him, from beginning to end he did not say anything about the old gang leader." ”
"Your old gang leader said, let me only talk about this to the person in charge of the Taiyue Group, those security guards stopped me from going up, and I naturally couldn't say it if I couldn't see the main owner. Xie Budong said aggrievedly: "What's more, when you come, you ask me where you have learned, and your attitude is cruel and bad, so I naturally don't dare to say it to you." ”
"Then how dare you say it at this moment?" It was Hong Liang who asked, he felt that there was nothing wrong in his words after listening to it, and he already believed a little in his heart, this person can cultivate to the fourth layer in just five years, so Tianzhong Wizard No wonder the old gang leader will value it so much, but for some reason he only taught the third layer of exercises.
"The old beggar told me that if the person in charge of the Taiyue Group refused to believe me, I would inevitably be taken back to the island to meet a man named Hong Liang, and when the time came, let me tell everything again, and I would naturally find out. ”
"Then let me ask you, how did our old gang leader pass on your martial arts, whether it was dictated or there were cheats. Hong Liang finally asked what he wanted to say, and this was something that everyone in the hall couldn't wait to know.
"Old ..... The old man gave me two tattered books with these exercises written in traditional Chinese characters, as well as some pictures. Seeing that the stakes were so high, Xie Budong didn't dare to call the old beggar.
"Where are those two cheats now!?" Hong Liang didn't ask him if he had it with him, since Hong Jun had subdued him, he naturally searched inside and out.
"I... I kept it in a secret place, and the old man told me not to carry it with me, lest it cause trouble. ”
Hong Liang frowned slightly, it seems that what this person said is true, that old thing is really still alive in the world, this is not easy to do.
"Xu Jiangcheng, Yang Donghua. ”
"The subordinates are here. The two of them took a step forward at the same time and returned with their hands.
"Keep this person in the secret room for the time being, and remember not to let anyone come into contact with him. ”
"Yes. After the two of them replied, they took Xie Budong and walked down the hall.
Xie Budong turned around in three steps, and looked at Hong Liang several times to stop talking, this expression was seen by all the elders in the hall, everyone had different thoughts in their hearts, but they didn't express it.
When a few people disappeared, Hong Liang said again: "Hong Jun, tell me everything about this person's background, no matter how big or small, don't miss half a point." ”
