The day after the wedding of the leader of the martial arts alliance, a sudden riot washed away all the joy.

It turned out that in the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, in the blue sky and daylight, who came to attend Shi Long's wedding, the Qian Gang and the Haishamen people who had not yet left were involved in the street and had a big fight, which not only killed and injured many people who participated in the fight, but also affected the people and the street vendors and shops.

What's even worse is that during the fight, it happened to coincide with the return of an important minister of the court, and the important minister was affected and lost his life.

All of a sudden, the incident became serious and could not be good.

On the one hand, he hurriedly sent someone to mediate the dispute and arrange compensation, on the other hand, he himself quickly entered the palace to face the saint and asked the emperor how to deal with this matter.

Fang Qi looked at Shi Long, who was ashamed and anxious, and said, "Lord Shi Meng, as the saying goes, the affairs of the rivers and lakes are the affairs of the rivers and lakes. How to deal with the contradiction between the Money Gang and Haishamen is your responsibility, and I don't want to ask for your sake. But they killed innocent people, killed my ministers, and I had to take care of it. Master Shi Meng, you understand. ”

Shi Long said respectfully: "Yes, yes, Emperor Shengming." ”

Fang Qi saw that Shi Long had a good attitude, so he softened his tone and said: "Master Shi Meng, according to the folk saying, you are my father-in-law, and where I can be tolerant, I will definitely be tolerant, but •••••"

Shi Long hurriedly said: "The emperor values it, and the grass people are terrified. ”

Fang Qi continued: "But it is precisely because of this relationship, Lord Shi Meng, as a relative of the emperor, you can't arbitrarily show favoritism because of the morality of the rivers and lakes, let go of those who bend the law, and ignore the laws of this dynasty." ”

Shi Long said: "What the emperor said is true. ”

Fang Qidao: "In that case, Lord Shi Meng, regarding this matter, it is up to you and Fu Yin to handle it together." ”

According to the law of this dynasty, if you make trouble on the street and kill people, you must be dragged to the entrance of the vegetable market and beheaded.

No matter what reason the money gang and the people of Haishamen fight, the crime of killing and injuring their lives will definitely not be able to escape.

Moreover, this incident happened in the capital, and for the safety of the capital, to appease the people, and to save the face of the court, it was necessary to resolve it quickly.

Shi Long can imagine that within a day, the people of the government will take the people of the Qian Gang and Haishamen to be tried, and then drag the people to the entrance of the vegetable market and behead them to show the public.

As the leader of the martial arts alliance, he cooperated with the people of the government to pull the martial arts colleagues to behead, although it was reasonable and legitimate, but it was really ugly in face.

But he couldn't take all the things regardless of the emperor's face, so he could only agree, received the holy decree, and after leaving the palace, he would thoroughly investigate with the palace Yin.

The forces behind this case are complex, but the facts are simple, and the human and material evidence are all there, and they were quickly resolved.

Another day, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Shi Long, as the leader of the martial arts alliance and one of the supervisors, looked at the money gang and the people in the Haisha Gate involved, and one by one, his head fell to the ground, and blood splattered at the entrance of the vegetable market.

The onlookers in Beijing saw that the troublemakers were dealt with vigorously and resolutely, and they applauded one after another.

The onlookers felt that they had lost face.

This loss of face is not only because of the scum who made trouble in the Money Gang and Haishamen, but also because Shi Long, as the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, couldn't make a decision alone in dealing with the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and had to cooperate with the government.

The people of the Money Gang and Haishamen came to collect the corpse, and when they saw Shi Long, they were not angry, and secretly complained that Shi Long, as the leader of the alliance, could not shelter his fellow people.

In the afternoon of the same day, words similar to "Shi Long is a lackey of the imperial court" came out, starting from the capital and spreading to all directions, all over the world.

Wu Yunzhao and the others had not yet left the capital and lived in a mansion in the west of the city, so they naturally learned about it, but the two of them, as the heads of a faction, in order to avoid suspicion and to avoid the embarrassment of their colleagues, they did not go out to inquire in person, but only listened to the reports of their disciples, and roughly understood the ins and outs.

Combined with Shi Long's poisoning of the apprentice, Bai Yi sneered: "Retribution is coming quickly." ”

Huang Lixin also said: "He deserves it." ”

Since learning that Shi Long is not a righteous gentleman as rumored in the rivers and lakes, Bai Yi and Huang Lixin no longer have a good impression of him, and they both feel that Shi Long has changed from a famous martial arts alliance leader to a criticized court lackey, and he has caused it to himself.

Today's events are the beginning of Sloan's disrepute.

Wu Yunzhao and Gu Qianshan also thought so, but they also had another opinion on the occurrence and outcome of this matter.

They all felt that the fight between the Money Gang and Haishamen was strange.

First of all, the Jianghu sects don't like each other, and it's normal for them to move, but the reason why the Money Gang and Haishamen started this time is to eat and occupy a seat. Because of the big fart, people are lying on the street one by one, and it involves the court officials, which is very fussy;

Secondly, this is the capital, at the foot of the Son of Heaven. Having trouble in the capital is tantamount to slapping the emperor in the face. Jianghu people are perverse, not afraid of causing trouble, but afraid of trouble. Most of them know how to be taboo in the capital, and even if there is a conflict, they will try to solve it outside the city, not to mention fighting in public;

In the end, the Money Gang and the Haishamen are not big or small, and their strength cannot be compared with the Dragon Slaying Gang. How short-sighted are their people, and they dare to block the alliance leader on the second day of the martial arts alliance leader's wedding.

There are all kinds of indications that most of the aftermath of this dispute is internal.

The people of the Money Gang and Haishamen have not yet left the capital.

So, after nightfall, Wu Yunzhao and Gu Qianshan explored in two ways. Wu Yunzhao went to the Money Gang, and Gu Qianshan went to Haishamen.

Wu Yunzhao found the location of the Money Gang, and unexpectedly found that Shi Long was in the house where the money gang leader was endless.

Jin Buchu is the same age as Shi Long, but his mental outlook is a lot worse than Shi Long. He lost his disciples, and his complexion was even worse.

Shi Long comforted Jin Bu for a while, and asked about the specific situation of the money gang and Haishamen's bad relationship.

I only heard Jin sigh and said: "Master Shi Meng, I don't want to shirk my responsibility, but before yesterday, my money gang really didn't have a holiday with Haishamen." I asked my disciples yesterday, and they all said that Haishamen was unrelenting and had to do it. I helped the Chinese people to protect themselves, so I had to fight back. He sighed heavily and said: "But in the end, we hurt the innocent, we can't push this responsibility, we can only admit it." ”

Shi Long said: "The Sea Dragon King closed his door and refused to see me, it seems that the problem really lies with them." ”

When Jin Bushi heard Shi Long say this, he became excited and said indignantly: "That's right." Master Shi Meng, we have known each other for so many years, who am I and how I discipline my disciples, don't you know yet? ”

Shi Long patted Jin Buxing's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "I must think of a thorough investigation and return your money to help justice." However, Brother Kim, you also have to save some face for me. Now, I am sandwiched between the rivers and lakes and temples, and many things are not easy to do. ”

Jin Buchu said: "I understand, I understand." He sighed again and said, "Master Shi Meng, my money gang can have today, thanks to your care." If this can't be over, don't bother, we'll admit it. ”

Jin didn't dare to offend Shi Long, so he could only buy his face.

Shi Long said: "Thank you brother for your understanding." He said something on the side, drank a few glasses of wine with Jin Buxing, and went home.

Wu Yunzhao felt that the relationship between the two was really good, and followed Shi Long to Shi Fu.

After Shi Long returned home, he dealt with some affairs in the study alone, and before midnight, he extinguished the candle flame and fell asleep directly in the study.

His marriage with Zhao Ziyi was facilitated by the emperor, and there was no affection between them, so naturally they would not have sex together.

Wu Yunzhao said goodbye to Shi Long, who was "alone in the empty house", and by the way, he glanced at Zhao Ziyi, who was "living and widowed", and turned to Haishamen to meet Gu Qianshan.

The head of Haishamen is a big fat man, his name is Haitao, and he looks younger than Shi Long and Jin Buzhu.

Wu Yunzhao looked through the gap in the roof tiles, looked at Haitao, who was known as the Sea Dragon King in the rivers and lakes, and said to Gu Qianshan: "Throwing it into the sea will definitely stir up a wave." ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "What did you hear?" ”

Gu Qianshan said: "To put it simply, they have colluded with the imperial court, and today's incident was deliberate." ”

Wu Yunzhao nodded, and said in his heart, "No wonder." "It can be concluded that what Jin said is true.

Gu Qianshan smiled deeply, and further said: "Haishamen sells illicit salt in private, and has a close relationship with the people in the court. In order to keep the business going, sometimes they will be instructed by people in the imperial court to do things. ”

Wu Yunzhao asked, "Who is the person who connects with them?" ”

Gu Qianshan pointed down and said, "Haitao has a letter, hidden in his sleeve, I estimate that there should be the identity of the connector on the letter." However, he kept walking around the house, and he had no intention of sleeping, and he couldn't wait for the opportunity to steal it. ”

After waiting for half an hour, Haitao finally blew out the lights and went to bed.

Wu Yunzhao woke up Gu Qianshan, who was napping on the roof, motioned for him to cover his face, and blew smoke into the house.

Gu Qianshan entered the house through the window and stole the letter.

The two of them sat on the roof, reading the letter in the bright moonlight, and couldn't help but gasp.

Wu Yunzhao said: "I suddenly have some sympathy for Shi Long. ”

Gu Qianshan said: "Me too." He sighed lightly: "A good Jianghu person, free and unrestrained, you have to be involved with the people in the court, and it is estimated that you have to pay for the number of people if you are sold." ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "There are too many forks in the road in life, and I have gone astray." Send the letter back. ”

Gu Qianshan nodded, Ma Li sent the letter back, and then returned to the mansion in the west of the city with Wu Yunzhao.

The two of them were busy for most of the night, hungry and sleepy, sitting in the courtyard, bathing in the moonlight and eating supper.

Wu Yunzhao said while eating: "Let's fall into the well, shall we?" ”

Gu Qianshan blinked and motioned for her to elaborate.

Wu Yunzhao said: "Let's call Shi Long, let him know that he was designed, and deepen the contradiction between him and the imperial court, how about it?" ”

Gu Qianshan said: "If you force him to be in a hurry, will he jump off the wall in a hurry?" ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "His family has a big business, and he can't give it up easily, besides, his daughter is still in the palace, and for his daughter, he also has to endure losses and grievances." At the very least, you have to maintain a calm and respectful appearance, and you won't go to the point of tearing your face. ”

Gu Qianshan said: "I have no opinion, you can come." ”
