Qu Xiaocang said: "Lord White Helm, do you know who the person who poisoned the capital this time is?" ”

"Oh?" Bai Shenghao said: "Has Captain Qu found the real murderer?" ”

Qi Ning's heart was also in the dark, thinking that it could be that the Shenhou Mansion had really found the real murderer? I only heard Qu Xiaocang say slowly: "The real culprit has indeed been found, and the Shenhou Mansion has judged that the target of the other party's poisoning this time is not aimed at the imperial court, but indeed against your beggar gang." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Bai Shenghao said in a deep voice: "Who is it?" ”

Qu Xiaocang said: "After the outbreak of the epidemic virus, the Shenhou Mansion locked the real culprit on the body of the Jiuxi Poison King Qiu Qianyi, and we also caught the Black Lotus Holy Sect people lurking in the capital. ”

"Is it really the poison of the Nine Creeks Poison King?" Bai Shenghao said coldly.

Qu Xiaocang said: "Although the Shenhou Mansion suspects that it is the Nine Creek Poison King of the Black Lotus Holy Sect, in the absence of conclusive evidence, it will not arbitrarily determine the final real culprit, even if we catch the Black Lotus Holy Sect, we must interrogate carefully, and we need the other party's confession to be confirmed." ”

"Did you get a confession?"

Qu Xiaocang said: "When we were interrogating, there was a sudden incident that even our Shenhou Mansion didn't expect..... someone entered the Shenhou Mansion to rob the prison. ”

Qi Ning saw that Elder Suzaku's face changed slightly, and he knew that the swing was easy to break into the Shenhou Mansion to rob the prison, even the beggar gang didn't know it.

He was a little strange, thinking that it was indeed the duty of the Shenhou Mansion to investigate the real culprit of the poisoning, but why did Qu Xiaocang tell the beggars about it? After all, the robbery of the Shenhou Mansion is related to the prestige of the Shenhou Mansion, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.

Bai Shenghao said in a deep voice: "Enter the Shenhou Mansion to rob the prison? Is it a member of the Black Lotus Holy Sect? Hehe, breaking into the Shenhou Mansion to rob the prison, wouldn't that be self-defeating. ”

"Lord White Helm, it was originally difficult to publicize this matter to the outside world, but I won't hide it from you, no one in our Shenhou Mansion has ever dared to trespass without permission, so it is inevitable to be careless." Qu Xiaocang sighed, "This is a great shame for my Shenhou Mansion, it's really hard to speak, the other party not only rescued the prisoner, but also ...... Hehe, don't mention it. ”

Bai Shenghao was obviously taken aback, although he didn't have a good impression of the Shenhou Mansion, but someone broke into the Shenhou Mansion and successfully rescued people, which really shocked Bai Shenghao's heart, and immediately asked: "Captain Qu, the person who robbed the prison, are you sure that you are a member of the Black Lotus Holy Sect?" ”

"We have determined that it is the Nine Creek Poison King Swing Yi." Qu Xiaocang said: "Originally, the epidemic virus spread in Beijing, and we didn't dare to insist that it was Swing Yi's doing, but Swing Yi showed up in the Shenhou Mansion, needless to say, it seems that it is not difficult to conclude who the real culprit of the poison is." ”

Bai Shenghao's voice was cold: "Even if it wasn't for Swing Yi to poison him personally, it would have nothing to do with him." Swing Yi is a member of the Black Lotus Holy Sect, and this Black Lotus Holy Sect is naturally the real culprit behind the scenes. ”

"Not bad." Qu Xiaocang said: "Since the establishment of the Shenhou Mansion, it has always been to maintain the order of the rivers and lakes for the imperial court, how many years have passed, because of the mediation of the Shenhou Mansion, there have been countless bloody storms on the rivers and lakes, this point, the white helmsman should not deny it, right?" ”

Bai Shenghao said: "There has been no catastrophe on the rivers and lakes for many years, and it does have a lot to do with the Shenhou Mansion, and Bai does not deny this. ”

Qu Xiaocang said: "Lord Bairudder, Qu also knows why you have an opinion on the Shenhou Mansion, do you feel that the Shenhou Mansion did not go all out to help your beggars this time, yes or no?" But the white helmsman has ever thought that the epidemic poison was first caused by the beggar gang, and your beggar gang did not tell the Shenhou Mansion as soon as possible, delaying the time, and when we learned about it, the epidemic virus had already begun to break out, and the Shenhou Mansion was not a god, and it had not yet reached the point where the poison must be solved. ”

Bai Shenghao just snorted coldly and didn't say much.

"You think it's a grudge between the beggars and the Black Lotus Holy Sect, leaving the Shenhou Mansion aside, causing a huge disaster." Qu Xiaocang's voice was also a little unkind: "To put it mildly, you beggars also have to bear great responsibility for this incident." ”

"Is Captain Qu here to ask for guilt?" Bai Shenghao said: "If this is the case, I can follow Captain Qu to the Shenhou Mansion now and accept your interrogation." ”

Qu Xiaocang said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to be accountable, whether it is the Shenhou Mansion or the beggar gang, there are more important things to do." ”

"What?"

"The Black Lotus Holy Sect poisoned the capital and has broken the rules of the rivers and lakes." Qu Xiaocang sneered: "Back then, the Shenhou Mansion had already issued an iron-blooded document, and all gangs and factions could only operate within the prescribed range, and if they stretched their tentacles too far, it would be a rebellion." Lord of the White Helm, it has only been sixteen years since the Iron and Blood Decree was issued, and you should be very clear about this matter. ”

Qi Ning was curious in his heart, secretly thinking what kind of thing is this iron-blooded text in the rivers and lakes?

Bai Shenghao said: "Yes, the iron-blooded text of the rivers and lakes was personally presided over by the Ximen Shenhou of the Shenhou Mansion back then, and the eight gangs and sixteen factions of the rivers and lakes jointly signed the document. The Iron Blood Script stipulates the sphere of influence of the Eight Gangs and Sixteen Factions, even if some gangs are in the same area of influence, the Iron Blood Script also has detailed constraints, and the Eight Gangs and Sixteen Factions all pressed their bloody handprints on the Iron Blood Script, and whoever violates the Iron Blood Script is the enemy of the entire Jianghu. ”

"Good!" Qu Xiaocang clapped his hands and smiled: "The white helmsman is really a good memory. After the iron and blood document was signed, in the past sixteen years, except for the Tiger Shark Gate that broke the rules, invaded the territory of the Nine Dragons Society, and was exterminated by the Shenhou Mansion, there was no gang that broke the rules, and it also made the rivers and lakes peaceful in the past sixteen years, and each did its own business. ”

Qi Ning suddenly realized, thinking that the original Shenhou Mansion ruled the rivers and lakes, but it was sixteen years ago that he signed an iron-blooded text with the eight gangs and sixteen factions on the rivers and lakes, just like the law of the imperial court, for the rivers and lakes, the iron-blooded text is the law that restricts them.

Qi Ning knows very well in his heart that the gangs in the rivers and lakes are like carps crossing the river, there are countless of them, if there is no legal constraint, it will be bloody and bloody, but it is extremely difficult to set up a legal text to restrain those unruly high-rollers and brave men on the rivers and lakes, if there is no prestige enough to deter all forces in the rivers and lakes and the strength to punish at any time, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to let the major gangs in the rivers and lakes keep a piece of paper and follow the rules.

But listening to Qu Xiaocang's words, at least in the past sixteen years, few people dared to challenge the authority of the Shenhou Mansion.

The Shenhou Mansion has the support of the imperial court behind it, and any gang in the rivers and lakes, even if it is a beggar gang with disciples all over the world, of course, no gang will be able to challenge the Shenhou Mansion in terms of strength, in addition, the status of Ximen Shenhou in the rivers and lakes is naturally not trivial.

Relying on force alone, without the prestige to make the charlatans awe-inspiring, is not enough to make the charlatan gang follow the rules.

Bai Shenghao said: "Yes, the Shenhou Mansion has indeed done a lot of things over the years. ”

"It is very clear in the iron and blood that any force in the rivers and lakes that violates the established rules must be severely punished." Qu Xiaocang said: "Among the eight gangs and sixteen factions, your beggar gang is also among them, and the former Xiao gang leader of your beggar gang and our Shenhou are friends of each other, and they have always been strong supporters of Iron and Blood Wen. ”

"Captain Qu, Bai is a rough man." Bai Shenghao said: "You go around and around, what do you want to say, it's better to say it quickly." You also said before that this matter was originally to be discussed with Elder Suzaku, and Bai's identity is obviously not qualified enough, so no matter what you say, Bai Mou has to report to Elder Suzaku one by one, you say too much, Bai has a bad memory, if there is any omission, I can't convey it all at that time, then it will be my culpability. ”

Qu Xiaocang laughed and said, "Okay, the white helmsman is really happy." However, the white helmsman doesn't have to be in a hurry, Qu always has to explain the matter, so that the white helmsman can report to Elder Suzaku and even the leader of your gang. Don't worry, after Bai finishes, you don't have to change a word, just say what Qu meant. ”

Bai Shenghao said "um" and didn't say much.

"The rivers and lakes have been peaceful for 16 years, but now some people don't want to let the rivers and lakes be peaceful." Qu Xiaocang said slowly: "Although not all the gangs on the rivers and lakes signed the Iron Blood Text back then, the eight gangs and sixteen factions already represent the entire rivers and lakes, even if some gangs did not sign, they still had to follow the rules of the Iron Blood Text. The Black Lotus Holy Sect is located in the western part of the country, sneaky, although according to the knowledge of the Shenhou Mansion, the Black Lotus Holy Sect has existed many years ago, but they are nested in the mountains and have not run out to do evil, so the Shenhou Mansion has always paid little attention to them. After a pause, his voice began to become cold: "Although the Black Lotus Holy Sect did not sign the Iron Blood Sect back then, like most gangs in the rivers and lakes, as long as it is in my Great Chu Land, it must act according to the rules of the Iron Blood Script. ”

"Captain Qu wants to say that the Black Lotus Holy Sect ran from Xichuan to the capital to do evil, and has broken the rules of the Iron and Blood Script, so it is necessary to let the eight gangs and sixteen factions and the major forces in the rivers and lakes act according to the agreement of the year?" Bai Shenghao said in a deep voice.

Qu Xiaocang said with a smile: "I just said it, the white helmsman is a smart person and understands what Qu meant." Yes, the Divine Marquis has an order, the Black Lotus Holy Sect is doing evil, and it wants to set off storms on the rivers and lakes, and the Divine Marquis Mansion and the fellow Jianghu must not allow this force to exist, so ...... According to the last article of the Iron Blood Text, the eight gangs and sixteen factions must fully cooperate with the Shenhou Mansion to exterminate the Black Lotus Holy Sect! ”

Although Qi Ning didn't know much about the specific content of the iron-blooded text, he had already guessed what Qu Xiaocang meant, and when Qu Xiaocang's last sentence was finished, Qi Ning's heart sank.

The Shenhou Mansion actually wanted to contact the forces of the rivers and lakes to jointly attack the Black Lotus Holy Sect.

All of a sudden, Qi Ning's mind was like electricity, remembering the previous bits and pieces, and remembering that the Jiuxi Poison King Qiu Qianyi once said that the robbery of the Shenhou Mansion was actually a trap set by Ximen Wuxi, and the purpose of Ximen Wuxian was not to really catch Qiu Qianyi, but to find evidence that the Black Lotus Holy Sect was involved in the major epidemic and poison case in Beijing.

The Jiuxi Poison King broke into the Shenhou Mansion and kidnapped the prisoners, which was already ironclad evidence, and this evidence alone was enough to withstand everything else.

Qi Ning was skeptical of what Swing Yi said before, but when he heard what Qu Xiaocang said today, his heart was awe-inspiring, and he only felt that what the Jiuxi Poison King said was only afraid that it was true, and Ximen Wuxian set a trap to get the evidence, and the ultimate goal was to be the same as King Huainan and others, and he was also going to attack the Black Lotus Holy Sect.

It's just that Simon Wuxian is more calm, and he doesn't shout verbally, but step by step.

Qi Ning couldn't understand why those ministers in the court and the central government were so favored by a Black Lotus Holy Sect located in the west, and they all wanted to put the Black Lotus Holy Sect to death?
