The two elders knew that there were no more useful clues at the scene, and although they were saddened by the murder of eight beggar gang disciples, especially the helmsman Cao Yang, who also died here, the current situation could only be discussed in the long run.

Within one day, not only did an elder die, but also a helmsman and several elite disciples, in the final analysis, it was all because of Lu Shanghe, and Lu Shanghe naturally became the number one enemy of the beggar gang.

Cao Wei, the helmsman of the fire monkey, scooped the women of the good family, and even took two notorious bandits in the rivers and lakes by his side, after the Aoki Conference, it is bound to spread to the rivers and lakes at this time, and it has great damage to the name of the beggar gang, and Cao Wei's matter is even more serious than the death of the white tiger.

This time, both the strength and reputation of the beggar gang were damaged, and it was rare to see a smile on the faces of the two Suzaku Xuanwu.

At the Aoki Conference, everyone watched Lu Shanghe being captured by the beggar gang and imprisoned, if the matter of the old dragon cave was spread out at this time, let the fellow people in the rivers and lakes know that Lu Shanghe was actually rescued from the hands of the beggar gang, it was naturally a very shameful thing for the beggar gang, after the two elders and Qi Ning discussed, it was decided to hide the matter for the time being, Suzaku found a cronie, and secretly came to the old dragon cave to clean up the corpses of Cao Yang and his gang, and ordered not to leak half a sentence to the outside world.

According to Xuanwu's suggestion, wait for more than ten days, and then find an excuse that can maintain the dignity of the beggar gang, tell Lu Shanghe to escape, and then order the beggar gang disciples to go out to find Lu Shanghe's whereabouts.

In fact, several people also knew very well in their hearts that since Lu Shanghe escaped death, he knew that it was the largest gang in the world that he had offended, and he must have dug three feet into the ground to hide in it, and he would never dare to show up again in a short time, and it was not easy to find Lu Shanghe.

After the matter on the side of the Old Dragon Cave was temporarily dealt with, Qi Ning asked the Helmsman to meet at the Gu Bai Pavilion.

After the gang leader was left in Gurung, he waited for the new gang leader to summon him, but he waited for nearly three hours, and when he saw the gang leader, the sky was already dark, the mountain breeze was blowing, and the Suzaku also made people hang lanterns inside and outside the Gu Bai Pavilion, which were prepared in advance, so they were not in a hurry.

The twenty-eight helmsmen of the beggar gang, except for a very small number of helmsmen who failed to come to the meeting in time, most of them had already arrived, and while everyone was waiting, there was not much communication.

If it were in the past, it would be necessary to reminisce in groups of three or five, but this time the Aoki Conference was full of disasters, and everyone's mood was extremely gloomy.

Only Fang Huang, the hall master of Huize City, was strange in his heart, all the people who stayed on the mountain were the helmsmen, and he was the only hall master who was left behind, he was very curious, but when he thought that the new gang master was so favored, whether he wanted to promote himself up, the more he thought about it, the more likely it was, and he was very excited in his heart.

Everyone gathered outside the Gu Bai Pavilion, Qi Ning was coming out of the pavilion, the two elders followed one left and one right, and when the helmsman saw Qi Ning, they knelt down one after another, and said in unison: "Subordinates see the helper!" Although the helmsmen of the Western Seven Residences were unwilling, they had no choice but to kneel down and worship because of the general trend.

Qi Ning raised his hand to tell everyone to get up, and then said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have just discussed with the two elders, and now I will tell you the facts, Xiang Gang Leader was not killed, Bai Hu and Lu Shanghe traditionally colluded to murder Xiang Gang Leader, and today is to blame, so I, the gang leader, is only temporarily acting for a few days, and the affairs of the four sides are still handled by the four elders for the time being." After a pause, everyone in the room was surprised, and then continued: "The White Tiger deserves it, but the position of the White Tiger Elder is vacant...... is there, has the Kui Wood Wolf Helm Master Chen arrived?" ”

One person in the crowd stepped forward and arched his hand: "Subordinate Chen Xin!" "This man is in his early fifties, and he looks old.

"Lord Chen, the dragons of the Seven Nights in the West have no leader, so naturally it will not work." Qi Ning said with a smile: "The two elders of Suzaku and Xuanwu jointly recommended you, saying that you Kui Timber Wolf rudder abide by the rules of the gang, and your Chen helm master is also a capable person, and it has been many years since he joined the beggar gang, so the Western Seven Residences belong to you for the time being." ”

The Chen Helm Master was stunned, and Qi Ning continued: "Xiang Gang Master is now in retreat and cultivation, so I can't order you to succeed to the position of Elder White Tiger, this can only be decided after Xiang Gang Master is out of the customs. Of course, if you can manage well and have strict gang rules before you go out of the gang leader, we will naturally recommend you to the gang leader. ”

Only then did Lord Chen come back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Gang Master Wei, subordinates .......!" ”

"It's been decided, so there's no need to say more." Qi Ning simply said: "Although I am only acting as the gang leader, before I go out to the gang leader, I can still ask about the affairs of the beggar gang." He smiled slightly and said: "The beggar gang is the first gang in the world, there are hundreds of thousands of gangs, hidden dragons and crouching tigers, but it is inevitable that the good and the bad are uneven. This time, the black sheep of White Tiger and Cao Wei came out, and we ....... beggars lose face! Speaking of this, he shook his head, and everyone had no light on their faces.

"The helmsman of the winged fire snake rudder is here?" Qi Ning suddenly asked.

Another person from the crowd came out and said, "I've seen the helper." Qi Ning glanced at it, when he went up the mountain before, he had seen this person in the middle of the road, but his face turned cold, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Master Ma Helm, you are guilty!" ”

The helmsman was taken aback, and was a little dazed for a while: "Helper, subordinates...... The subordinates don't know what crime they have committed, and they still ..... Please also help the Lord to make it clear! ”

Suzaku was also a little strange, and said on the side: "Helper, the master of the horse helm is loyal, cautious, and has not committed any mistakes. ”

Qi Ning sighed and said, "Elder Suzaku, hundreds of thousands of gangs, it is not easy to manage, if you can't reward and punish clearly, let those evildoers do evil outside under the banner of my beggar gang, this beggar gang will be in their hands sooner or later." I don't know what kind of person the horse helmsman is, but if his men are guilty of a great sin, he should at least be guilty of jet lag, right? ”

Suzaku was stunned for a moment, and the helmsman was also a little puzzled: "Helper, but I don't know..... But I don't know which brother broke the gang rules? ”

"It's not just about breaking the rules." Qi Ning's expression was solemn: "And it touched the law of the country." Turning his gaze at Fang Huang, his face softened, and he asked with a smile, "Hall Master Fang, how many years have you been a hall master?" ”

Fang Huang arched his hand and said: "It has been nine years since my subordinates joined the beggar gang, and three years ago, thanks to the weight of the horse rudder, he became a hall master under the Winged Fire Serpent Rudder. ”

Qi Ning nodded slightly and asked, "Then was your former hall master promoted or transferred elsewhere?" ”

Fang Huang hurriedly said: "The previous Lu Hall Master passed away due to illness three years ago. ”

"Passed away due to illness?" Qi Ning pretended to be puzzled: "But I don't know what kind of illness I have?" Is he in good health on weekdays? ”

The master of the horse helm said on the side: "Back to the master, the master of the horse hall is strong, and he had a sudden illness three years ago, maybe it was overwork, so he ......!" ”

Qi Ning raised his hand, motioned to the master of the horse helm not to say much, and continued to ask, "When Hall Master Lu passed away, how many people were around him?" ”

"This ......!" Fang Huang hesitated for a moment before he said, "At that time, there were many people in Huize City who had fled, and there was also an epidemic spreading in the city, and Hall Master Lu may have been infected with the epidemic. The subordinates were worried that if the Lu Tang Master was infected with the epidemic, it would spread, so they ..... So he didn't let the other brothers get close, but just took care of him by his side. ”

"Oh?" Qi Ning said with a smile: "Hall Master Fang is not worried about being infected by the epidemic? ”

Fang Huang immediately said: "My subordinates almost starved to death back then, but they were saved by Master Lu, and later introduced the beggar gang, he treated me like his own brother, my life was his, even if I was infected, I would not regret dying with him." ”

These words were sonorous and exciting, and the helmsman thought to themselves, it seems that this hall master is really a good man who values love and righteousness.

Qi Ning clapped his hands and smiled: "Well said, Hall Master Fang is really a person from the rivers and lakes, and he will repay his kindness." Walking slowly, he walked to Fang Huang's side, his body was level, and then he asked, "Can Hall Master Fang know Xiao Yishui?" ”

Fang Huang's face changed slightly, and he faintly felt that something was wrong, but he still said, "Xiao ..... Xiao Yishui? Subordinate..... His subordinates know that he is the catcher of Aizawa City..... Headcatcher, but ..... But less than half a year ago..... and died. ”

The helmsman suddenly became even more strange, thinking that Fang Huang was the master of the beggar gang in Huize City, and it was reasonable to know the head catcher in the city, after all, the beggar gang had never been in contact with the government, but how did this Wei gang master know Xiao Yishui, and suddenly asked Fang Huang if he knew Xiao Yishui, but what was the reason?

"Then there can be no mistake!" Qi Ning smiled slightly, his face suddenly sank, and he said sharply: "Come on, tie up Fang Huang for me." ”

He said that change will change, everyone present was stunned, Fang Huang's face changed greatly, and he lost his voice: "Helper, subordinates..... Which gang rules did the subordinates break and why..... Why are you tying me up? ”

Qi Ning glanced at the helmsmen and asked, "Is it useless for me to speak?" ”

The two helmsmen came back to their senses, although they were puzzled, but Qi Ning had an order, it was not easy to disobey, the two closest helmsmen immediately stepped forward and held Fang Huang, it was not easy to find the rope for a while, several helmsmen untied the coarse cloth belt as a rope, and saw Qi Ning pointing to a big tree in Tingben, so he pulled Fang Huang over and tied it to the tree.

Fang Huang didn't dare to resist, he only shouted that he was wronged, and the horse helmsman was also a little anxious at this time, and bowed his hand to Qi Ning: "Gang master, my subordinates don't know which gang rule Fang Tang Master has violated, why do you want to tie him up?" ”

"Don't be in a hurry, I'll always let you understand." Qi Ning said lightly, without looking at the horse helm master, walked in front of Fang Huang, and said coldly: "You know Xiao Yishui, naturally you should also know that Xiao Yishui has a concubine in Huize County, and she is the widow of a county surnamed Hua, Fang Tang Master, don't deny it, if you answer truthfully now, I can still consider taking it lightly, but if you spit out a lie in your mouth, I guarantee that you will not be able to get out of Gurungzhong." ”

Fang Huang's pupils contracted at this time, his face turned pale, and he opened his mouth, but he couldn't spit out a word.

"Since I tied you up, of course I have evidence in my hands." Qi Ning said lightly: "Don't force me to come up with evidence, when I come up with evidence, it will be when your head hits the ground, if you don't believe it, just give it a try." ”
