Chapter 359: Death

Zheng Guobao's work during this period of time was focused on the Sun Moon Divine Sect and Banzhou, and he didn't know much about other news on the rivers and lakes. When did this happen? What did those three nuns die for? Could it be that there was some plague in Hengshan, or was it robbed, and others had an accident? ”

Meng Xiangyun saw that Qin Cha was in a hurry, and hurriedly persuaded him, "Qin Cha, don't worry, your old man, things are not as strict as you think." There was no plague in Hengshan, and there were no robbers, speaking of which, few robbers in Shanxi dared to provoke the Hengshan faction. This thing is not in Shanxi, but in Zhejiang. ”

"Zhejiang? I came from Yangzhou before, and I haven't heard of it. ”

"yes. You are a noble person who is busy, and everything you see in your eyes is a big deal, Yangzhou checks salt, that knife goes down, and cuts down the eight major salt merchants, what a big stroke is this, who can compare? No one dares to bother you about the little things on the rivers and lakes. Besides, this incident is also strange, a fire, burned clean, if it wasn't for the Zhejiang beggar gang who found out the clue later, I don't know that it was the famous Hengshan Sanding that was burned to death. ”

It turned out that the Hengshan faction was a leader of the three sides in the rivers and lakes, and in Buddhism, he was also a famous god and nun. There is a big benefactor in Longquan, Zhejiang, who paid a lot of money to invite Sanding to come to Zhejiang to teach the Fa, and promised a good reward. In addition to gold and silver, there are also three good blue water swords produced by Lian Qingfeng as a reward, and he promised to change the clothes of all the nuns of the Hengshan faction, one person makes three sets of monk's clothes, and one layman gives a sword.

This is really not small, in addition to entering Beijing to preach the Fa for the Queen Mother, Sanding has never encountered such a big fat sheep. Where can I let it go. At that moment, he took more than 20 henchmen and disciples to Zhejiang to go on this date. But when people arrived in Zhejiang, it was like mud cattle entering the sea, and there was no news. The Hengshan faction is far away in Shanxi, and it is inconvenient to come and go, so it is impossible to get news, so it is only when the master is left in the great benefactor of Zhejiang, or a junior brother catches a rich financier, and he can't get away for a while. Didn't think much about it.

But later there was a pole master of the Zhejiang beggar gang. I have a good relationship with several young teachers in Longquan Nunnery. He had good luck in Yangzhou, bought a few pieces of the private collection of the merchants, changed his hands for a lot of money, and thought of Longquan Nunnery to worship the Buddha. Participate in the road of heaven and earth with a few little masters. But when it came to the place. But I saw the pure place of Buddhism that had brought countless good memories to this pole master. It has been reduced to ruins. Shocked, the pole master rushed in and rummaged, only to find a dozen charred corpses.

He knew the number of nuns in this temple very well. It doesn't add up to so much, so who are the superfluous? And how did this fire start? Those nuns have kung fu, are cautious, and do a very good job of fire prevention on weekdays, how can they be burned by a fire, and no one can get out?

This pole master is also affectionate, and he can't stand a few good deaths, so he specially brought the county to check the truth. After an inspection, it turned out that there was a big problem, these dead were all women, and they were stabbed to death with weapons before they died, and then the scene of the fire was faked. The servant found several tokens on the body of a deceased, including a short sword with a very peculiar style, which was very different from the usual weapons. The master of the pole recognized it clearly, and this was clearly the token used by the Hengshan faction when the head of the sect handed over. Thinking about the rumors of the disappearance of the head of Hengshan recently, it is basically certain that most of the famous Hengshan Sanding are also buried here.

At this time, this problem has changed from the killing of several Buddhist sects of the pole master to the tragic killing of the head of Hengshan. The Hengshan faction was wiped out by the masters, and there were more than 20 experts in the Yizi generation, and their whereabouts are unknown. For the Ming Dynasty, this news is just a vicious criminal case, and the local government has to solve the case. But for the rivers and lakes, it is a first-class explosion news.

The head of a major sect and more than 20 elite disciples were all killed, which was a big mess that had not occurred for many years. Could it be that this martial arts has been peaceful for all these years, and what kind of catastrophe will there be? This pole master did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported the matter to his supervisor regiment leader, who regarded this as his important achievement in intelligence investigation this year, reported it to the chief helm of the beggar gang, and asked for credit for himself.

On the one hand, the chief helm of the beggar gang sent people to Hengshan to deliver letters, and on the other hand, word of mouth spread in the gang and carried out a lot of publicity. Under the leadership of the leader of the Shenlong Xie Feng Jie Gang, the work efficiency of the beggar gang has increased greatly, and before the imperial court and other major factions, they found out that the head of Hengshan was killed, which is a big news in martial arts. This fully shows that the beggar gang, under the wise leadership of the gang leader, will inevitably move from one victory to another, and from one success to another. Any beggar who dares to run for the leader of the gang with Xie Shenlong will be abandoned by the majority of beggars.

"Uncle Guo, your Mrs. Ru's worship of the Buddha in Hengshan is not news. Sanding also takes great care of your wife, I heard that a Buddhist hall has been opened in Datong, and dozens of disciples have been arranged to serve them attentively, which is for the ancestors, and I am afraid that they are not so pious. Now that the three are dead, why don't you go and make a salute? I'm afraid it's not a big deal, right? ”

"Meng Tuantou, I have a heart. I really have to thank Meng Tuantou for telling me about this, otherwise I would still be in the dark. Come on, take 500 taels of silver for Meng Tuantou, even if it is the salary for this jewelry, it will be difficult for you to punch it out overnight. I really can't stay longer in Jinan, let's make up for it later. ”

Seeing that Zheng Guobao hurriedly ordered people to pack their luggage and prepare to set off. Ren Yingying's heart is half sweet, half pantothenic acid. Although he was happy to find a man with affection and righteousness, he was sad that the object of his anxiety was not himself. comforted him with kind words on the side: "Husband, you don't have to worry about this. Sanding's murder may not have anything to do with Sister Liu. Besides, Niangniang has a backhand by Sister Liu's side, even if there are bad people who want to be unfavorable to Sister Liu, there may not be anything cheap. That's Datong Town, not Hengshan. Not to mention anything else, just the border army of Datong, which Jianghu people dare to provoke? Even when the Sun and Moon Divine Sect was at its peak, he didn't dare to provoke the border army. ”

Zheng Guobao said: "I know what you said makes sense, but in my heart, I just don't have stability. Sanding is not an idle person, they once entered the palace to give a lecture to the old queen mother. They also have good kung fu, and if they want to provoke them, they are also tantamount to provoking the government. Since these people are even killed three times, I'm afraid that they are a group of crazy gangsters, I'm really afraid of Sister Jing, what is the risk. ”

Biyun is a warm-hearted person, and he can't see Zheng Guobao in a hurry. On the side, he said, "In that case." Husband, let's not take a big team, just take a small team of people and horses to go first, one person with two horses, and ride in turns. When we were fighting on the border fortress, we used this method to march quickly, and it was the quickest. ”

Ren Yingying said: "No. Shanxi is the territory of the Jin merchants, and the former's husband collects salt taxes in Yangzhou, and he is not lightly offended by the Jin merchants. If you go to Shanxi so lightly, it will be too dangerous, and I don't worry. If I'm going to take a risk, I'd better take it. Just let me take people, one person and two horses in front of the pioneer, and the husband will lead people to walk slowly behind. I'll deal with anything. ”

Zheng Guobao kissed her on the face, "Hao Yingying, I understand your intentions." But in my heart, you have no relatives near or far, you are all ordinary people who are close to me. Of course, I don't want Sister Jing to be in danger, and I can't watch you take risks. Therefore, if you want to work hard, you have to work hard together. Jin Shang is a businessman, seeking wealth is not seeking anger, it really moved me, and I must also consider whether my sister will fight with them and end up together. Their family has a big business, and they can't afford to fight. A few of us, and then bring a team of cronies and horses, one person and two horses, and rush over first. The others were handed over to Lao Rui to step up his actions in the back. ”

This team is divided into two, Zheng Guobao's team is only a few dozen people, all of them are one person and two horses, except for a few concubines and Qin Liangyu, even Qu Feiyan also followed. This little girl is the closest to Liu Jing, and when she heard that Hengshan was in danger, no one could stop her. Ryanstein led a large group of men and horses and hurried forward in the rear. Zheng Guobao is pampered on weekdays, but this time he is desperate, day and night, changing horses, and the others have to grit their teeth and follow. Looking at him swaying on the horse, several female relatives couldn't tell what it was like in their hearts, only Blue Phoenix and Biyun, two heartless ones, smiled and exchanged their heads, "Our man really has a conscience, and it is a blessing to follow such a man." ”

In Datong City, in the White Clothes Nunnery. This was originally a lower courtyard of the Hengshan faction, and since Liu Jing arrived, it was specially used for her, and the people who should serve her were also lay disciples of Hengshan. Since the murder of Sanding, there are more and more lay disciples here, and now, there are only monks left on the entire Heng Mountain, and all the lay disciples are all concentrated in the Baiyi Nunnery, which is particularly lively.

All the female disciples wore filial piety, all of them wore white, and they were covered in silver. Qin Juan's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she pulled Liu Jing, who also had red eyes, and said, "Sister Liu, my master's hatred depends on you." We all depend on you to take care of us in the future, and if you ignore us, we will have to die. (To be continued......)
