Inside and outside the valley, there were people everywhere, and after the late arrivals heard what had happened, they all fought for the disciples of Fanmen.

"King Wu can't even keep his name, how can Mr. Fan pass on the mantle to him?"

"That's right, King Wu is a lost dog, come to our Yecheng for refuge, everyone doesn't investigate the matter of him killing Jizhou's children in the eastern capital, forget it, and never let him be majestic in front of Mr. Fan's grave. Kick him out of the valley! ”

"And King Wu is not worthy of being a scholar, I heard that when he was in the Eastern Capital, he forcibly conscripted the people as soldiers, even if he was a scholar with a full stomach, he was pulled out of his house and forced to go to the battlefield with a knife and a gun. Such an atrocity is comparable to the faint monarch of the Five Kingdoms! Chase away, drive away immediately! ”

……

The crowd was indignant, and when An Chongqian's questioning was understood, he drove King Wu out of Siguo Valley and even out of Jizhou.

Chang Yan regretted it, at this time it was useless to blame himself, everyone didn't believe it at all, he had to gather his entourage together, lined up, barely protected the room behind him, and from time to time lit up the sword in the robe, this trick was especially useful, most of the people who came to mourn were literati and ordinary people, and they were somewhat afraid of weapons, and they did not dare to rush up to provoke.

Half an hour had passed, and the disciples of Fan Men had begun to suspect that their senior brother had been killed, and An Chongqian, who had gone to meet King Wu alone, finally walked out of the door, his face was confused and dazed, not like he was going to ask for a crime, but as if he was going to confess.

Everyone immediately gathered around to ask, An Chongqian waved his hand again and again, suppressed the noise, and said, "This ...... Things are a bit complicated, and it is difficult for me to make a decision alone, so I have to choose three more people to go with me to meet Xu Gongzi and listen to his explanation. ”

"What is there to explain this? Mr. passed away yesterday, and King Wu arrived on the same day, it is difficult to say whether he has seen Mr. for the last time, how can he be accepted as a disciple? ”

"What about Senior Brother Song? After we left, he has always taken care of Mr., and he will inevitably see the cause and effect. ”

An Chongqian waved his hand again, "Anyway, I want to choose three more people." Senior Brother Yan, among the same disciples, you have good understanding and good argumentation, come with me. And also...... Mr. Tang, you are highly respected, please ...... too"

Mr. Tang is a teacher in a nearby village, admires Fan Shu's fame, occasionally comes and goes, comes to condolence today, encounters such a thing, mainly to see the excitement, unwilling to participate, hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, retreated, and refused to come forward.

An Chongqian had no choice but to call another junior disciple surnamed Yu, his eyes glanced, trying to find a suitable outsider, but the news of his death had just been reported for a day, and most of the mourners were ordinary people and their disciples who had been prepared, and there was no real "respectable person" yet.

He was in a dilemma, and a voice shouted from behind the crowd: "Someone is coming from the Yamen of Yecheng, let everyone go." ”

An relocated to the great joy, separated the junior brothers, and stepped forward.

When Fan Guan was alive, Zhou Guan, the assassin of Yecheng, came to visit in person and gave the valley, and found that he could not persuade the old man to go out of the mountain.

The general judgment is not a petty official, in the eyes of a group of people and scholars, it is especially noble, An Chongqian just recognized this person, stepped forward and saluted deeply, "Student An Chongqian, please meet Master Ge." ”

Ge Tongju nodded and frowned slightly: "Mr. Fan's bones are not cold, why is there such chaos here, is there no one in charge?" ”

An Chongqian's face turned red, and the people around him shouted injustice, and the entourage was slightly reprimanded, and everyone kept their mouths shut.

An Chongqian said: "The Lord Tongju came at the right time, abdicated King Wu Xu Gongzi, yesterday stayed in Siguo Valley, for some reason, claiming that he is Mr. Fan's closed disciple, and has received the mantle, will take over Mr. Fan's preaching, we are about to ask to understand, if we can get the Lord Tongju to administer justice, it would be great." ”

Ge Tongju's brows furrowed even tighter, "I was ordered to come to condole, and I have to ......go back to offer incense to Mr. Fan."

An Chongqian said: "Mr. Fan's name is heard by everyone in the world, if the teacher falls into the hands of outsiders like this, Fan Men is humiliated, what face does Yecheng have?" ”

Ge Tongju was still hesitating, someone came over and whispered a few words, and Mu Tongjuan said in annoyance: "An Chongqian, didn't you just go in?" Didn't ask such a simple thing? ”

An Chongqian's face turned red again, "It's because I can't ask clearly that I ask the general judge to be the master." ”

Ge Tong became more and more cautious, "The matter is serious, I can't do it, I have to go back and ask for instructions, you wait here, and you are not allowed to regenerate right and wrong." ”

"Yes, it's all up to the judge."

King Wu's identity is special, just because he heard that he was in the valley, the assassin was reluctant to come to mourn, so Ge Tongju was extremely reluctant to listen to the word "master", "I only pass on the word, you ...... Love is what it is. ”

Afraid of being questioned again, Ge Tongju did not go to the grave to offer incense, called his entourage, and left in a hurry.

Some of the disciples of Fan Sect were in a hurry, and as soon as Ge Tongju left, he said loudly: "Mr. Fan is known as the 'King of Su', and the emperor still has to give three points of courtesy when he sees it, and he is a master of major affairs, how can a small general judge be in charge?" Senior Brother An was too humble and fell into Mr.'s reputation. ”

An Chongqian said with a cold face: "Why didn't you say it just now?" ”

"Hmph, we don't have to wait for the yamen to call the shots, when I go to question King Wu, I must let him come out and admit his mistake in person."

"Senior Brother Yu has this ambition, no matter how good it is, I will accompany you to go in again."

"No, I'll do it all by myself."

"I'll go in with you." An Chongqian insisted, outsiders thought that this was the same love, but all he thought about in his heart was "Ju Niang".

Senior Brother Yu is generous and righteous, but he is a little stupid, An Chongqian called another person, "Senior Brother Yan, you still have to go in with us, forget about outsiders, the three of us are enough." ”

Senior Brother Yan arched his hand and said, "It's all up to Senior Brother to arrange." ”

The three of them dressed up, walked with square steps, and walked to King Wu's residence one after another, and when they arrived at the door, An Chongqian turned around and reminded in a low voice: "Be careful, Xu Gongzi is not the only one in the house." ”

"The affairs of the world can't lift a single word, the reason is on our side, there are thousands of troops hidden in the house, and I am not afraid."

Feng Juniang had just finished drawing, stood at the table and admired, quite satisfied, heard the door knocking, turned her head, and said with a smile: "Gongzi An is back again, yo, and brought a helper." ”

"Uh-huh." An Chongqian wanted to behave solemnly, but as soon as he saw this woman, he unconsciously twisted.

Senior Brother Yu was also stunned, "It turns out that King Wu is hiding in this golden house." ”

Feng Juniang said: "Childe is wrong, this is Mr. Fan's former residence, the old gentleman is indifferent, and the residence must not be called a 'golden house', as for me, Xu Gongzi's side is just a maid, I dare not bear the name of 'Jiao', and Xu Gongzi does not have 'hidden'." ”

The four words were refuted to the point that there was not a word left, and Senior Brother Yu snorted twice, "I won't tell you, where is King Wu?" ”

Senior Brother Yan In the end, among the three, he was the only one who maintained his dignity, nodded deeply to Feng Juniang, didn't say a word, and his eyes didn't stop for a moment.

The screen was very light, Feng Juniang moved away, making way for an open space, "King Wu is not here, but there is one in Gongzi Xu." ”

Xu Ji was still sitting in the same place, facing the guests sideways, staring at the opposite side, as if he was out of the spirit.

Senior Brother Yu was just about to speak, but was stopped by An Chongqian, the disciples of Fan Men couldn't help but observe etiquette, the three of them gave salutes at the same time, and An Chongqian said: "Master Xu, these two are Mr. Fan's favorite disciples, this surname is Yu Mingzhan, and this surname is Yan Mingwei." ”

Xu Ji woke up like a dream, propped up the mat with both hands, turned around, and said with a smile: "It's an honor to see Mr. Gao's apprentice." ”

Yu Zhan held his breath, didn't wait for his senior brother's signal, and said loudly: "Whether you are King Wu or Xu Gongzi, I only ask one question: Why do you claim to be Mr. Fan's closed disciple and receive the mantle?" There is nothing more than this! ”

"Because it's true."

Yu Zhan laughed angrily, "It is worthy of King Wu, he is very thick-skinned, he lies to his face, and he doesn't blush at all." ”

Feng Juniang happened to come over with tea, and said angrily: "Look at you, you are a scholar, why do you speak so badly, accusing others of lying for no reason, this cup of tea...... Not for you. Gongzi An, Gongzi Yan, please. ”

Just a few words, An Chongqian was once again distracted, Yu Zhan wanted to refute, but when the words came to his mouth, he always felt that it was too heavy and couldn't speak, so Yan Wei's eyes did not squint, said "thank you", and refused to take the teacup.

Xu Ji said: "Mr. Fan has just left, can you still feel him in this room?" ”

Yu Zhan was just about to speak, but was stopped by An Chongqian, nodded to Yan Wei, and motioned for him to speak.

Yan Wei said: "I have studied with Mr. for several years, and I have been taught by his words and deeds, and I can feel it in my heart and place no matter when and where." ”

Xu Ji said with a smile: "I envy you for being able to accompany Mr. Fan for many years, I have only seen two sides, and the last one is Yongjue." ”

"So everyone has doubts, how did Gongzi Xu get the mantle of Mr. Fan?"

"Mr. Fan's funeral items are only a few pieces, and the rest of the clothes are in the next room, and there is no mantle."

Yu Zhan couldn't help but say, "We all know that we don't have a mantle, that's why we came to ask you." ”

Xu Ji raised his finger to the sky, "Although I don't have a mantle, I have obtained the essence of Fan Xue." ”

"Hah!" Yu Zhan was about to laugh when he was angry.

Yan Wei took half a step forward and arched his hand: "Does Xu Gongzi have to learn and understand himself, or will he be taught?" ”

"Senior Brother Yan, you ......" Yu Zhan didn't understand the meaning of his words, thinking that his junior brother was about to give in, and was pulled down his sleeve by An Chongqian, so he closed his mouth.

"Teach."

"Mr. Fan personally taught?"

"Mr. Fan left a message, and Song Zhuzhu passed it on to me."

"Where is Senior Brother Song?"

"Take the axe out of the mountain."

"In this way, Senior Brother Song should not have many words to transfer."

"Not much, three words."

"Regardless of whether it's true or not, just based on the three words left by Mr. Fan, Xu Gongzi thinks that he has obtained the essence of Fan Xue?"

"Hmm."

Yan Wei arched his hand again, "Dare to ask which three words are they?" ”

"Don't say."

"Xu Gongzi thinks 'can't be said', or does Mr. leave a message 'can't be said'?"

"I thought I couldn't say it."

"Then why does Gongzi Xu convince us and other Fan disciples and the people of the world?"

"You can ask me."

"What's the use of asking, 'don't say,' and 'don't say'?"

"You can ask me about the study of Fanmen, and if my answer is different from Mr. Fan, it is to deceive the world and steal fame, or it is the same, it is to get its essence, for example, it can be called 'receiving the mantle'."

Yan Wei's expression became more and more serious, as if he was facing a great enemy, but Yu Zhan laughed again, "What a big breath, I'll come first: the etiquette, the foundation of the world......"

It doesn't mean that after speaking, Xu Ji has already given an answer, which is also three words: "Shut up." ”
