"What's wrong with Old Hero Fan? What's wrong? With the shouts of surprise one after another, Fan Yingde's son Fan Leiyin was dressed in white filial piety clothes, holding a wooden box with tears streaming down his face, leading a large number of congregants who belonged to the White Lotus Sect and were also wearing white filial piety into the venue, and walked through the crowd under the surprised eyes of countless people in the rivers and lakes, and walked directly to the earthen platform where the villagers in the middle of Huaishuping were doing social dramas - the stumbling walking appearance was really a little sad to do the drama.

"Why are there so many fewer people? Where did those big factions go? As soon as he got up to the stage with a high position, Cao Yin, who was disguised as a member of the Mixed Yuan Sect, saw that the atmosphere of this Huai Shuping was unusual, and hurriedly asked Kong Sizhen, who was also disguised as a member of the Mixed Yuan Sect. And Kong Sizhen had already received a leaflet distributed by Wu Yuanming and others - of course, it was given to Kong Sizhen by the people in the rivers and lakes who were bribed by them, and after just one glance, Kong Sizhen understood the reason why the famous faction slipped away, so he immediately whispered to Fan Leiyin: "Cry quickly, tell these people what we taught you." ”

"Wow——!" Fan Leiyin was like a puppet, crying according to Kong Sizhen's instructions, and opened the wooden box with a flat bottom with a lid to reveal Fan Yingde's white-haired head hidden in it, which still hadn't closed his eyes. "Old hero, how did he die?" "Old hero Fan, why did you leave like this?" There are even people who have been bribed by the imperial court and shouted, "Who killed Fan Lao Hero?" We pulled him out and broke him into pieces! ”

"Everyone, everyone!" Fan Leiyin wiped his tears and shouted to everyone under the stage: "I...... My father unfortunately died, because my father organized this turtle killing conference and offended Wu Sangui, the big traitor who harmed the Han people, and Wu Sangui was the dog thief...... And he sent out his killers and killed my father! ”

"Dog thief! Brute! There was an immediate roar under the stage, and those Jianghu characters who had been bought took the opportunity to instigate: "See? Fan Lao Hero sacrificed his life for us Han people, and the words slandering Fan Lao Hero on those notes are complete nonsense! Sling the bull! "Who made the rumor?" Pull him out, Lao Tzu will cut him with a thousand knives! "That's right! Catch the dog thief who chews his tongue and chop him into meat sauce with one person and one knife! "Old hero Fan, you old man is wronged!"

All kinds of shouts are varied, if most people were still suspicious of the words on the leaflet just now, then now most people have stood on Fan Yingde's side, because Fan Yingde's death not only cleared him of suspicion, but also intensified the resentment of the Jianghu tycoons against Wu Sangui to the extreme. Faced with such a situation, Liu Haozi, who was about to see how Zheng Xin beat Wu Yuanming, was anxious, and hurriedly went up to push away Zheng Xin, who was already moving his small fist, and asked Wu Yuanming: "Brother Wu, you are really clever, those Tartars really killed Fan Yingde, it's time for us to do it, right?" As he spoke, Liu Haozi took out the account book from his arms that he had personally stolen from Fan Yingde's house.

"There! The people who spread rumors and slandered Fan Lao Hero are there! At this moment, a person recognized the Luoma Lake bandit who was distributing leaflets next to Liu Haozi, and in just an instant, the whole audience became a sensation, and I don't know how many people rushed to this side. Wu Yuanming hurriedly asked Zheng Xin, who didn't know what was going on, "Xinxin, where is your master?" There he is? Ask him to come out, only he has the ability to grasp the situation now! ”

"Wu Yingying, I don't know what to do with looking for Chen?" A clear voice sounded in Wu Yuanming, Wu Yuanming followed the sound and saw that there were four middle-aged scholars dressed in Confucian cedars on the left behind him, and one of the handsome scholars was smiling and bowing to him. Wu Yuanming's eyes immediately widened, and he asked, "...... you?" Are you the helmsman of Mr. Chen? You seem to have been following me at first? It turned out that before Wu Yuanming met with Mu Shenbao and the others just now, Wu Yuanming had already seen these four middle-aged scholars, but there were too many characters on the scene, so Wu Yuanming didn't pay too much attention to them.

Zheng Xin leaned over to Wu Yuanming and whispered: "Stupid! As early as when we entered Hejian Mansion, my master had already noticed you, and he also solved the Tartar spy who was following us outside Hexing Building! Hmph, count you smart, if you dare to mess with me at that time, my master will definitely kill you with one palm! Wu Yuanming suddenly realized, that day he shouted outside Hexing Tower, 'The emperor has arrived' and escaped easily, Wu Yuanming was already suspecting that he had escaped too smoothly, and he had been suspicious for a long time, and now Wu Yuanming understood the reason, it was Chen Jinnan who secretly sent his tail away. Thinking of this, Wu Yuanming hurriedly pulled Liu Haozi to Chen Jinnan, clasped his fists and bowed, "Junior Wu Yuanming, I have seen the helmsman of Heaven and Earth Society Chen!" Liu Haozi shouted again, "It turns out that you are the helmsman of Mr. Chen, and you seem to have a few words with me just now." ”

"Wu Yingying, Liu Yingying, please get up quickly." Chen Jinnan smiled and picked up Wu Yuanming and Liu Haozi, and said with a smile: "Just now, Wu Yingying and Liu Yingying were busy exposing Fan Yingde's traitorous moves, and Chen was inconvenient to talk to you, so he followed the two heroes for a while. ”

"That's them!" Just as Wu Yuanming and the others were talking to Chen Jinnan, those who were stimulated by Fan Yingde's death and were filled with righteous indignation, the heroes of the rivers and lakes had already surrounded them violently, but when they saw the three middle-aged scholars standing with Chen Jinnan, many people shouted, "Mr. Gu Yanwu!" Mr. Huang Zongxi! Mr. Lu Liuliang! You're here too? Wu Yuanming was taken aback, and hurriedly saluted the three middle-aged scholars: "I don't know that the three leaders of the Jiangnan literary world have arrived, but they can be rude, offended, offended!" It turned out that these three people were the three great writers Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi and Lu Liuliang in the Jiangnan literary circle, because they refused to be co-opted by the Qing court many times, and would rather die than serve the Qing court and become famous all over the world, and won the respect of various anti-Qing forces. By the way, Wu Yuanming's biggest regret in his heart now is that Lu Liuliang's granddaughter Lu Siniang should not have been born yet, she is the most famous beauty in the Yongzheng period!

"Brother Wu is too polite, and the leader of the literary world doesn't dare to be it." Gu Yanwu, who was the most famous among the three great writers, stood up to answer, and asked Wu Yuanming again: "Brother Wu, if Gu Yanwu is not mistaken, you must have evidence of Fan Yingde's collusion with the Tartar government, then please take it out quickly, Gu Yanwu, Mr. Huang, and Mr. Lu are also well-known in the rivers and lakes, and they will definitely help Brother Wu expose the true face of this traitor hypocrite." ”

"Yes, okay." Wu Yuanming was overjoyed, with these three well-known and loud literary leaders to help him, he was victorious. Wu Yuanming hurriedly brought the blood confession written by Chen Shisan and the account book of Fan Yingde's family to Gu Yanwu, and asked the Luoma Lake bandits to escort Chen Shisan to Gu Yanwu - Chen Shisan was also forced by Wu Yuanming to make a make-up and was escorted to the venue with his hands tied. Gu Yanwu, Chen Jinnan and the others took the blood supply and the account book and knew the truth of the matter with just a casual flip, and after nodding to each other, Chen Jinnan greeted the heroes of the rivers and lakes who surrounded them and said: "Fellow people in the rivers and lakes, Chen Jinnan has seen heroes from all walks of life in the lower heaven and earth. ”

Chen Jinnan's voice was not loud, but it was very clear and far away in the noisy venue, so that everyone in the venue could hear it clearly. This time it was as if a bomb had been dropped in the crowd, and the audience was boiling in just an instant, and countless people shouted excitedly: "Chen Jinnan! Chen Jinnan, the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society! "Chief Helmsman Chen, we are relieved that you are here!" "Chief Helmsman Chen, you can preside over the turtle killing conference." And Kong Sizhen, Cao Yin and others on the stage were also secretly frightened, and hurriedly asked Fan Leiyin to hold Fan Yingde's head and walk to this side. When Fan Leiyin saw Chen Jinnan and didn't say a word, he immediately cried loudly: "Chief Helmsman Chen, you have to be the master of my father, Wu Sangui's lackeys not only spread rumors and slander my father, but also ...... And sent someone to kill him! ”

"Was your father really slandered?" Chen Jinnan sneered, and the voice also reached the ears of everyone in the audience, the words that Chen Jinnan said were no better than ordinary people, and in an instant, the noisy venue immediately fell silent, leaving only Fan Leiyin crying in fear, "Chief Helmsman Chen, do you also believe the rumors spread by Wu Sangui's lackeys?" ”

"Whether it's a rumor or not, we'll find out in a moment!" Chen Jinnan snorted coldly, held up the account book that Liu Haozi stole from Fan Yingde's house and shouted: "Fan Leiyin, let me ask you, is this account the account book of your Fan family?" Fan Leiyin hesitated for a moment, and after seeing the account book clearly, he replied in surprise: "It's my family's account book!" I just don't know where Mr. Chen got it? And Kong Sizhen and the others, who were following behind Fan Leiyin, knew that something was wrong, and they couldn't wait to kick Fan Leiyin to death, so they hurriedly and slowly retreated, ready to run away at any time.

"If you admit it, what is written in this book?" Chen Jinnan turned a page and read in public: "On April 26 of the seventh year of Kangxi, I bought 565 acres of fertile land, and spent 20 taels of silver to buy land - hehe, 20 taels of silver to buy more than 500 acres of fertile land, your Fan family is really good at doing business." ”

"Chief Helmsman Chen, we have investigated this matter, it was Fan Yingde who sent someone to kill the original owner of the land, and sent a thousand taels of silver and two yellow flower girls to the prefect of Hejian Mansion, and the dog prefect helped Fan Yingde arrest a few people casually." Liu Haozi shouted loudly. After he and Chen Jinnan finished speaking, the venue exploded with a 'boom', and the Jianghu heroes who were still aggressive and wanted to avenge Fan Yingde just now turned their guns and scrambled to Fan Yingde, "Damn, twenty taels of silver to buy more than 500 acres of land, and he can get this price!" "Collusion with the prefect of the Tartars, damn it!" "Damn, it seems that what is written on these pieces of paper must be true!"

"Heroes, don't panic first, there's another one that's also interesting." Chen Jinnan turned another page and read aloud: "On June 15 of the eighth year of Kangxi, 15,000 taels of official silver were collected, and 1,500 taels of pure gold ingots were collected!" Chen Jinnan smiled again: "Heroes may not know, this filament official silver is specially cast by the Tartar Emperor's Internal Affairs Office, specially issued to the Tartar Banner people for the purpose of building palaces, there are few large amounts of circulation on the market, even if it flows into the people, it will be recast into miscellaneous silver to increase the weight, and the Fan family received 15,000 taels of this kind of filament official silver for the Tartar Internal Affairs Office in one go, I don't know what will happen during this period?" ”

"The thirteen yamen of the Tartars are directly allocated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the silver they sell is all such official silver." Wu Yuanming added loudly. But Wu Yuanming was a little carried away with his pride, forgot to cover his voice, and used to using the scripture tone that Beijing said, not only Kong Sizhen, Wu Ciyou, Li Yuliang and others felt familiar and suspicious when they heard this voice, Mu Meng was even more like being struck by lightning, staring at Wu Yuanming thoughtfully with wide eyes. Even Zheng Xin stared at Wu Yuanming with some suspicion, and said in his heart, why is the accent of this stinky thief different from usual?

Chen Jinnan glanced at Wu Yuanming, then turned to the Jianghu group and shouted: "Fellow Jianghu people, yesterday afternoon, someone pretended to be Wu Sangui's lackey to attack Fan's Mansion, Liu Yingying of Luoma Lake was brave and strategic, in order to find out the truth of the matter, he designed to capture a person who pretended to be Wu Sangui's lackey, as long as you listen to his confession, you can understand where the official money of Fan's Mansion came from!" After that, Chen Jinnan arched his hand to Liu Haozi and said, "Liu Yingying, please bring out the person who pretended to be Wu Sangui's lackey and say a few words to everyone." ”

"Holo." Liu Haozi likes to listen to compliments and show off the most, and Chen Jinnan, who is famous all over the world, boasted in public that he didn't know the world, so he hurriedly slipped Chen Shisan in front of him, raised him above his head with one hand, and shouted: "Say it quickly, dare to say a lie, Lao Tzu will kill you!" Chen Shisan's life hung in the hands of others, so he had to tear open his throat and shout: "Ladies and gentlemen, the official silver of Fan Yingde's family was personally given to him by me, and I was ordered by Kong Sizhen Gege, the head of the Thirteenth Yamen, to use these silver and gold to bribe Fan Yingde, and let him come forward to organize this turtle killing conference ......." ”

Chen Shisan was shouting, Chen Jinnan suddenly jumped into the air, poked out two fingers and clamped Chen Shisan's throat, clamped a sleeve arrow from the electric shot, and threw it back without landing on the ground, only to hear a scream, according to Wu Ciyou's instructions, Li Yuliang, who sneaked up on Chen Shisan, covered his right shoulder and took a few steps back, and Wu Ciyou had already mixed into the crowd and slipped away. Without waiting for Li Yuliang to react, she was immediately surrounded by hundreds of Jianghu figures, and after a fight, she was subdued, held her shoulders and escorted to Chen Jinnan and others.

"Who are you? Why assassinate this witness? Chen Jinnan asked Li Yuliang lightly. Li Yuliang, who was bent over by the backclasp of his arms, twisted his head and replied stubbornly: "If you want to kill, you will kill, Hugh has to ask more." ”

"She is the younger sister of Hu Gongshan, the former head of our Thirteenth Yamen, and Li Yuliang, the lover of Emperor Kangxi's teacher Wu Ciyou!" After Chen Shisan's escape from death, he also betrayed the Qing court, pointing at Li Yuliang and shouting: "Her lover Wu Ciyou, because he was provoked by Wu Sangui's son Wu Yingxiong and became mute, hate Wu Sangui's family to the core, and take her to design and sow discord between Wu Sangui's family and the forces in the rivers and lakes, and want the Han people to continue to kill each other!" A few days ago in Licheng County, they pretended to be anti-Qing righteous people and met Fang Dahong, the owner of the Lotus Hall of the Heaven and Earth Society, and used sweat medicine to charm Fang Dahong, and then deliberately handed over Fang Dahong to Wu Sangui's Western Election Officer, and killed Fang Dahong with his own hands in the Yamen of Licheng County, leaving a forged seal of the Pingxi Wangfu to slander Wu Sangui, and mobilized the army to attack the heroes of the Heaven and Earth Society who went to rescue Fang Dahong! If we want heaven and earth to take revenge on the western election officials of the whole world, our court will profit from the middle. ”

After Chen Shisan's words were shouted, Li Yuliang's face was already like ashes, and all the people of the Heaven and Earth Society roared, "Kill her!" Avenge Brother Fang! "Avenge Brother Fang!" Among them, Zheng Xin, who was naturally beside Wu Yuanming, had the sharpest and loudest voice, grabbed Wu Yuanming's hand and shouted fiercely: "We were almost fooled, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of this big brother Wu, we would also die in the hands of the Tartar army." And Wu Yuanming looked at Li Yuliang, whose hairpin was scattered, with pity, and his heart was like knocking over the five-flavor bottle, full of ups and downs, and he didn't know whether to be happy or pitiful.

"Fan Leiyin, what else do you have to say now?" Chen Jinnan waved his hand to stop the angry shouts of the people of the Heaven and Earth Society, turned to Fan Leiyin, who was already trembling with fright, and asked, "Fan Leiyin, tell everyone honestly, how did your father die?" Did the Tartar court kill him? You're telling the truth, and I can vouch for your safety. ”

"I ...... My father....... Fan Leiyin trembled and still didn't want to tell the truth, but when he was swept away by Chen Jinnan's cold and electric gaze, Fan Leiyin involuntarily shouted, "Yes, my father was killed by the Tartar court!" The Tartar court promised that as long as I put the charge of killing my father on Wu Sangui's head, they would give me 50,000 taels of silver and let me inherit our Fan family's property alone! Otherwise, kill me, let my brother come out to lie instead of me, and preside over this turtle killing conference! ”

"Where are the Tartar lackeys who forced you to tell lies?" Chen Jinnan stepped forward and asked. Fan Leiyin trembled and turned around and just wanted to identify Kong Sizhen and the others, but found that Kong Sizhen and the others had already slipped away in the chaos, Fan Leiyin hurriedly shouted: "She ran away!" The woman who came on stage with me just now and told a lie was Kong Sizhen Gege of the Tartars! And the one with only one left arm is a close confidant of the Tartar Emperor! ”

"Get them out!" Without waiting for Chen Jinnan to issue an order, the Jianghu Qunhao in the venue had already roared to carry out the search operation, and soon, Kong Sizhen, Qiang Donkey, Cao Yin and others who had slipped to the periphery of the venue were discovered by the Jianghu Qunhao, and countless people chased after them with light skills. But at this moment, there was a thunderous sound of horses' hooves and footsteps on the official road east of Huaishuping, and Chen Jinnan's face changed color and said: "It's not good, the army of the Tartars is coming!" ”
