After Yan Lingxian went out, Xuanyuan Po apologized to Qi Ning and said: "Master Hou, Yan Lingxian is young and reckless in his speech, please Lord Hou a lot, don't be surprised." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Yan Lingxian is actually a few years older than Qi Ning, but Qi Ning looks old-fashioned, waving his hand and smiling: "It's okay, it's okay, who can young people not make some mistakes." Doesn't Senzakura often make mistakes, too? I don't care. ”

Ximen Zhan Ying immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "What does it have to do with me?" You can't speak, don't talk nonsense. ”

Wei Shutong had already seen that this little marquis seemed to have some thoughts about this big-ass girl, and he hurriedly laughed and said: "Captain Xuanyuan, you are investigating this case in Xichuan, if you need it, just bring it up, I can do it, and I will do my best to help." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wei." Xuanyuan Po immediately thanked him, and then asked Qi Ning: "Master Hou, if the swing is easy to Chengdu, I don't know if you can ask me a few words?" ”

Qi Ning said: "Captain Xuanyuan, you also know that the Nine Creek Poison King is arrogant, even I can't control his temper. If he is willing, it is naturally the best, but if he is unwilling, I am really helpless. After a pause, he said with a smile: "But since the Black Lotus Sect is involved at this time, Swing Yi must still be able to make an explanation." ”

Xuanyuan Po nodded and said, "That's very good." I don't know when I will leave? ”

"I want to go back tomorrow to resume my life, but Swing Yi hasn't met me yet, and I can't bring him with me, and I can't go back to the capital." Qi Ning sighed: "I just hope that this poison king can meet me as soon as possible." ”

Ximen Zhan Ying sarcastically said: "He is the Xichuan Poison King, and it is a shame that you really believe his words." Could it be that if he doesn't come to Chengdu, you will stay here all the time? ”

"I said that I would take him back to Beijing, otherwise wouldn't it be a crime of dereliction of duty?" Qi Ning smiled: "But there's nothing wrong with staying in Chengdu, it's delicious and delicious here, and the beauties of Xichuan are like clouds, and Lord Wei is taking care of them here, so you can't be bitter about me, Lord Wei, don't you say?" ”

Wei Shutong hurriedly laughed and said, "Yes, yes, yes!" ”

Ximen Zhan Ying glanced at Qi Ning and said no more.

"In that case, I will resign first." Xuanyuan Po got up and said, "When the Hou Ye sets off, he will send him off again." "Led Simon Zhan Sakura out.

Wei Shutong and Qi Ning also got up and sent to the door, and after seeing Xuanyuan Po leave, Wei Shutong stroked his beard and smiled: "The leader of the beggar gang was killed, I'm afraid the happiest thing is not the Black Lotus Sect, but the Shenhou Mansion." ”

Qi Ning suddenly heard this, his body shook, realized something, and asked, "Why did Master Wei say this?" ”

Wei Shutong also said it subconsciously, and when he heard Qi Ning's inquiry, he hurriedly smiled: "It's the nonsense of the lower officials, Master Hou..... Hou Ye must not be surprised. ”

"Master Wei, where are you talking about this?" Qi Ning said: "I am like-minded with Lord Wei, we have nothing to talk about, and there is no need for any taboos between you and me." ”

Wei Shutong actually had a good impression of this little Hou Ye, and said with a smile: "Hou Ye, you also know that among the eight gangs and sixteen factions, the strongest is the beggar gang, the Shenhou Mansion signed an iron-blooded order back then, and compromised with the forces of the rivers and lakes, in the final analysis, the beggar gang played a great role in it, without the beggar gang, the eight gangs and sixteen factions are only afraid that they are not qualified to sit on the table and bargain with the Shenhou Mansion." ”

Qi Ning bowed slightly, and Wei Shutong lowered his voice and said: "The beggar gang leader, Xiang Gang, has strong martial arts, and his popularity in the rivers and lakes is extremely high, the more this is the case, the more he is feared by the Shenhou Mansion." Hou Ye thought about it, if one day this Xiang Gang Master really raised his arms and went against the Shenhou Mansion everywhere, he didn't know how many people in the rivers and lakes would follow him to make trouble. ”

"That's true." Qi Ning also greatly agrees with this, compared to the Ximen Shenhou who uses iron-blooded means to deter the forces of the rivers and lakes, Xiang Baiying is naturally more popular than the Ximen Shenhou in the rivers and lakes.

"Although I am not interested in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, I have also heard that this Xiang Gang Leader is outstanding, and this beggar gang under the Xiang Gang Leader has been famous in the rivers and lakes in recent years." Wei Shutong said with a smile: "The snake can't be headless, if the gang leader dies, the beggar gang will inevitably be in turmoil, and its strength will naturally be greatly reduced, which is naturally something that the Shenhou Mansion is happy to see." ”

Qi Ning narrowed his eyes and said, "In other words, the Shenhou Mansion is willing to believe that the Xiang Gang Leader has been killed?" ”

Wei Shutong nodded and said, "This is something that can be known without asking." Once the beggar gang is in chaos, the Shenhou Mansion is likely to interfere in the inheritance of the next beggar gang leader, and take this opportunity to find an heir who has a close relationship with the Shenhou Mansion, but is talented but mediocre and can be controlled by the Shenhou Mansion, and put him in the position of the gang leader, so that the Shenhou Mansion will have a tighter control over the forces of the rivers and lakes, and it is naturally a good thing for the imperial court. ”

Qi Ning's body was shocked, Wei Shutong was worthy of being an old fritter, and when he said this, Qi Ning suddenly woke up like a dream, and understood something in an instant.

The Shenhou Mansion of Ximen Shenhou, its greatest duty is to maintain the Jianghu forces in the territory of Great Chu for the imperial court, so that these Jianghu forces will not threaten the imperial court.

Xiang Baiying's beggar gang is indeed huge, all over the north and south, if the beggar gang is used by the Great Chu court, it is not only extremely good news for the Great Chu, but also a major threat to the Northern Han, after all, there are also beggar gang forces in the Northern Han Dynasty, these people are very familiar with the situation of the Northern Han Dynasty, once used by the Great Chu, the Great Chu is equivalent to putting his eyes and ears on the Northern Han Dynasty, and he will know the situation over there.

It's just that Xiang Baiying's existence makes it impossible for Ximen Shenhou to control the beggar gang at all, and if Xiang Baiying dies, it will of course be excellent news for Ximen Shenhou.

A thought popped up in Qi Ning's mind for a moment, could it be that all of this was planned by Simon Shenhou behind the scenes?

Xiang Baiying said very clearly, with the temperament of the white tiger, if there was no backer behind him, it would never be possible to dare to rebel and usurp, and even if Lu Shanghe was extremely jealous of Xiang Baiying, he alone probably would not have the courage to attack Xiang Baiying.

White Tiger and Lu Shanghe acted in cahoots and teamed up to set a trap to murder Xiang Baiying, who concluded that there was another real murderer behind him.

To be able to make the White Tiger bow down to his orders, the backer behind it is naturally of a very high status, which is enough to make the White Tiger willing to be under it, Qi Ning has always thought about whether it is possible that a certain force on the rivers and lakes is responsible, and even some of the eight gangs and sixteen factions are involved, but Wei Shutong's seemingly unintentional words made Qi Ning suddenly realize that the backer behind the White Tiger is not likely to be the Shenhou Mansion.

Although this is a bit bizarre, when you think about it, it is not unreasonable.

The status of Ximen Shenhou is, of course, far superior to anyone in the rivers and lakes, and there is enough capital to give Elder White Tiger generous conditions.

The white tiger's talent is mediocre, if he really obeys the orders of the Ximen Shenhou and designs to kill Xiang Baiying, it will be if he is firmly controlled by the Ximen Shenhou, and the Ximen Shenhou will use the strength of the Shenhou Mansion to support the White Tiger to ascend to the position of the leader of the beggar gang, and since then, the Shenhou Mansion will also control the beggar gang through the white tiger.

If this is the case, Simon Traceless's scheming is really creepy.

The more Qi Ning thought about it, the more he felt that it was very likely that this would be the case, and if this was the case, then the situation just now was really dangerous.

Save himself to Baiying, of course Baihu will report to the Shenhou Mansion, and after the Shenhou Mansion learns about it, of course, he will do everything possible to find Xiang Baiying.

Then when Xuanyuan Po came just now, it was very likely that he wanted to extract the whereabouts of Baiying from his mouth.

If he had been impulsive at that time, in order to expose the conspiracy of the White Tiger, he had informed Xuanyuan of Xiang Baiying's whereabouts, then next, the Shenhou Mansion would definitely immediately dispatch to get rid of Xiang Baiying.

If the Shenhou Mansion controls the White Tiger in its hands, of course it doesn't want Xiang Baiying to be alive, as long as Xiang Baiying is alive, even if he is disabled, there is no guarantee that he will not be able to make a comeback, only the dead are the safest, kill Xiang Baiying, and never suffer in the future, the Shenhou Mansion can completely control the beggar gang.

Qi Ning felt a cold sweat break out on his back.

He naturally knew that Simon Without a Trace did this, for his position, in fact, there was nothing to blame, speaking from the heart, once this was really planned by Simon Without a Trace, and the plan was successfully achieved, of course, it would be of great benefit to the imperial court, and Simon Without a Trace would also be regarded as a great contribution.

If Qi Ning hadn't had any contact with Xiang Baiying, he would even have admired Simon's methods without a trace.

But Xiang Baiying took good care of him, once saved his life under the swing, and also passed on martial arts, with the fact of master and apprentice, with his relationship with Xiang Baiying today, in order to fulfill the plan of the Shenhou Mansion and give up Xiang Baiying, that is absolutely impossible.

He was stunned, and heard Shu Tong screaming softly on the side, so he came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Without Xiang Helper, if the Shenhou Mansion can take the opportunity to support a new helper, it will really be of great benefit to the imperial court." ”

Wei Shutong stroked his beard with a smile and said: "What the White Tiger Elder said, there are many flaws, and with the shrewdness of the Shenhou Mansion, it will not be impossible to find the flaws. However, the Shenhou Mansion was willing to believe that Xiang Baiying was dead, even if what Elder White Tiger said was not true, the Shenhou Mansion would take it seriously. ”

Qi Ning smiled slightly, but his heart was awe-inspiring.

He suddenly thought that Bai Hu and Lu Shanghe had murdered Xiang Baiying, and only he knew the truth from beginning to end, but of course the Shenhou Mansion would not let such a truth be made public, so that the Shenhou Mansion was afraid that he would still keep a firm eye on him, and he would become the object of the Shenhou Mansion's key vigilance.

Leaving the Thorn History Mansion, Qi Ning pondered the truth behind the incident along the way, wondering if it was really Ximen Wuxian who planned everything behind the scenes, but unconsciously, he had already arrived at the official post, at this time it was completely dark, but Qi Feng was waiting in front of the door, and when he saw Qi Ning coming, he came forward and took the reins of the horse, and said softly: "Master Hou, the people of the eight gangs and sixteen factions are waiting for you!" ”

"Eight gangs and sixteen factions?" Qi Ning was stunned, turned over and dismounted, frowned, and said, "Who are they?" What did they come to me for? ”
