Chapter 117: Chess
Where the roar fell, the whistle arrows used by the brocade guards to transmit messages rang out one after another. Ω ┡ Literature Fan In the blink of an eye, the originally quiet official road suddenly neighed and people were boiling, and thousands of horses rolled up the rolling loess, covering the sky and the sun.
A moment later, nearly 2,000 horsemen surrounded the entire dirt slope. Tang Jingyuan recognized Li Chengsen, who was in Jinyi Weiwei, and hugged his fists from afar and said: "But Lord Li is polite in front of Tang Jingyuan." ”
"This official is on a business trip, so it's better not to be close!" Li Chengsen turned over and dismounted, strode up to Xie Bangui with a package, took out a bloody human head from the package, threw it on the ground and said: "Brother Xie, what kind of prefect is this, colluding with gangsters in the rivers and lakes, turning a blind eye to the powerful people in the rivers and lakes gathering to commit murder, and has been corrected on the spot, and there is anything else to order." ”
"Silk-" Tang Jingyuan saw the human head clearly, and immediately gasped, isn't this the prefect who received the Tang Sect's heavy gift and promised to ignore the affairs of the Zheng family?
Tang Jingyuan's eyes were already slightly frightened when he looked at Xie Bangui, the other party had reached the level of killing the dignified feudal officials, how high was his status in the Jinyi Guard? What is the relationship between him and the Zheng family?
Xie Bangui smiled and said, "Brother Li, wait a while, there are still a few friends who haven't come." ”
"Who else hasn't come?" Li Chengsen said unhappily: "What a big, there is a commander to make the face of the adult, do you still need to find other people?" ”
"Other people's face should also be given, don't give face to offend people!" Xie Bangui said helplessly: "You said you, I put a golden eagle, you don't watch it yourself, you have to let others go, it turned out to be a good credit, but now it is going to be divided into not!" ”
Before Xie Ban finished speaking, a long dragon formed by a black horse team in the distance had already swept to the ground, and from the condensed murderous aura on the knight's body, it could be inferred that their knife edge had just seen bloodstains.
Sure enough, when the horse team approached, the heads of the people who were hung on the saddle bridge by them had already caught the eyes of those masters of the rivers and lakes. Counting carefully, there were not only hundreds of human heads on the saddle bridge, but also blood dripping indiscriminately, and it seemed that they had just been cut off not long ago.
"Black Arrows!" Li Chengsen understood that Mu San was not the only one who wanted to make some friendship with Xie Bangui.
The leading eunuch of the black-clothed arrow team said respectfully with a sharp voice: "Qi Qi Xie Lord, the small one was ordered by the factory governor to lead the black-clothed arrow team to reinforcements, and on the way, I heard that the Haisha Gang, the Yellow River Society, the Dixingmen and other gangsters in the rivers and lakes intended to kill the officials and rebel, and they were killed without asking the adults, and asked the adults to forgive." ”
"It's okay, it's okay!" Xie Bangui waved his hand and said: "The killing is very good, this official must be the factory governor and give credit to the father-in-law." ”
"Thank you, sir!" The leading eunuch happily pushed aside.
Tang Jingyuan was full of cold sweat when he heard this: The gangs that the eunuch said just now were the same gangs in the rivers and lakes that he invited to help him, and before they could get in place, they were killed by the black-clothed arrow team without leaving a piece of armor, which made him explain to other friends in the rivers and lakes.
Tang Jingyuan didn't know what to do, but he saw a eunuch dressed as a Xichang fan walking quickly outside the venue.
Na Fanzi walked up to the front and said loudly: "Lord Qiqi, after investigating the combination of rivers and lakes besieging Zhengjiabao this time, there are seventeen in addition to the Tang Gate, and the factory duke has personally placed a note to inform the governors of various places, as long as they have the slightest movement, they will be exterminated immediately." ”
Although there was only one from the West Factory, it made the entire Tang Sect frightened. Tang Jingyuan immediately said sharply: "Xie Bangui, what do you want to do?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just law enforcement." Xie Bangui pointed at Lao Qian and said: "This Zheng official worships Jinyi Wei and calms down, and enjoys the five grades of the imperial court." Serious official body, according to the "Da Ming Law", killing an official is a rebellion, murdering Guan Juan is equivalent to killing an official, Zheng Jiabao is Zheng Daren's official Juan up and down, you can kill one casually even if you are a rebellion, but a rebellion will destroy the nine clans! ”
"You ......" Tang Jingyuan was so angry that he trembled, but he couldn't say a word. No matter how powerful these people in the rivers and lakes are, they don't dare to confront the Ming Dynasty head-on. Otherwise, there will only be one end of extermination.
Take the Tang Sect as an example, they won't mind quietly killing one or two court officials, as long as the court has no evidence, they can push it all away. But let them kill officials publicly, they definitely don't have the guts, and they can't afford to be charged with rebellion even if they are like the Tang Sect.
Xie Bangui saw this, and asked Mu San to press Lao Qian's official body overnight, and then joined forces with the factory guard to hit the weakness of Tangmen.
Xie Bangui's practice of mobilizing the imperial court forces to participate in the disputes in the rivers and lakes not only caught the Tang Sect off guard, but also attracted the strong dissatisfaction of the Nine Great Sects, although the representatives of the Nine Great Sects did not say anything, their contemptuous expressions were revealed.
Tang Jingyuan didn't know what to do, but Tang Shuai, the phantom red face, stepped forward and said: "Brother Xie put on such a big battle, but he didn't attract the imperial court soldiers to point at the Tang Gate, presumably he didn't want to borrow the power of the imperial court to solve the dispute between the two families, right?" ”
Xie Bangui hugged his fists and said: "Miss is really Bingxue smart, the so-called rivers and lakes are in the rivers and lakes." Xie Mou's decision was also a last resort. If it is only the Zheng family, can we obtain the right to speak on an equal footing with the Tang family? ”
Tang Shuai picked his thumb and said: "Brother Xie is clever, he first soldiers and then salutes, which not only shocked my Tang Sect, but also won the sympathy of my fellow people in the rivers and lakes." I'd love to see what gesture Brother Xie will make next? ”
Xie Bangui whispered a few words to Li Chengsen and the others, and the factory guards instantly retreated into the distance like a tide, and finally disappeared on the vast official road.
Xie Bangui said in a good time: "Before negotiating, we must find out a fact. That is, who can prove that the one who drilled into the ancestral tomb of the Zheng family must be the ancestor of the Tang Sect, Tang Jueying's predecessors? ”
As soon as Xie Bangui's voice fell, the people present frowned, from the beginning to the present, the matter of the ancestors of the Tang Sect entering the ancestral tomb of the Zheng family was the words of the Tang Sect, and even avoided the fact that the grandson of the Zheng family was killed, which is indeed intriguing.
Tang Jingfeng took a step forward and said: "I can prove this that I can see clearly from the appearance of the ancestors to the time they enter the tomb. I can't mistake the appearance of the ancestors. In addition, the ancestor used his famous stunt 'taking a photo' outside the Zheng family's gate, is there anyone else in this world who will use a photo besides the ancestor? ”
Xie Bangui said unhurriedly: "For the people of the rivers and lakes, such a thing as appearance can be changed at will, has anyone here not used the disguise technique?" It is said that Tang Sanye only had a face-to-face with the other party at that time, and the rest was looking at the other party's back. So the first point is not credible. ”
Tang Jingfeng's face turned red, and he said angrily: "What about the 'photo'?" How do you explain that? ”
"Take a picture? Me too! Xie Bangui didn't wait for the other party to speak, his figure moved and staggered in place, but his shadow stayed in place vaguely, as Xie Bangui's body moved, a series of shadows were like hundreds of people standing densely all over the dirt slope.
"This ...... What's going on? How do you use a photo? Brother Tang Jingyuan was stunned, and looked at Xie Bangui, who was constantly moving, like a ghost. Some people even had the idea of taking Xie Bangui down and interrogating him.
Tang Shuai's brows furrowed slightly, and he suddenly shot out a wisp of palm wind to hit the phantom behind Xie Bangui. The shadows suddenly seemed to be fine sand blown by the wind, turning into layers of powder and drifting away, Tang Shuai reached out and grabbed the powder floating in the sky, and stared: "Phosphorus powder? ”
"That's right!" Xie Bangui smiled: "I don't have the ability to leave the shadow in place, but I can leave a phantom shadow made of phosphorus powder, Tang Sanye is still sure that what I saw at that time was the 'Lingering Shadow'?" ”
"This ......," Tang Jingfeng argued forcibly: "But I didn't see phosphorus powder sprinkled on the ground at that time!" ”
Xie Bangui smiled: "I can only say that 'the tricks are the same, but the techniques are different', in addition, there is also a crucial point, can the Tang family master be sure that the tomb of the ancestor of the Tang Sect is empty?" ”
"This ......" Tang Jingyuan was speechless for a while: "I think it should be, right?" ”
"Yes is yes, no is no, what should be?" The tall fat man said sarcastically: "Tangmen just because of the sentence 'it should be'? I want to dig other people's ancestral graves, it's overbearing, right? If the Zheng family's ancestral tomb is opened, and it is not the ancestor of the Tang Sect inside, what will you do? Suicide to apologize? Casually digging people's ancestral graves is a great enmity that does not share the sky, and the Tang Sect will not want to use the sentence 'I was mistaken', so just explain the past! ”
"What is this...... Tang Jingyuan was also stunned, now that the Zheng family is in charge of everything, he has the intention to forcibly open the ancestral tomb of the Zheng family. But now that the Zheng family is no longer what it used to be, if they are determined to break the net, it will definitely be the Tang Sect that suffers.
Tang Shuai smiled and said, "Since Brother Xie has found out the suspicion, he must have thought of a solution." We are very similar to listening to Brother Xie's high opinion. ”
Xie Bangui was countered by the other party, but he still said calmly: "It's very simple, let's enter the ancestral tomb of the Tang Sect first to determine whether the immortal metamorphosis of the Tang predecessors is still in the tomb." ”
"Impossible!" Tang Jingyuan immediately became angry: "No matter who dares to disturb the peace of the ancestors, my Tang Sect is bound to deal with him to the end." ”
"Don't be impatient!" Xie Bangui said neatly: "If the immortal metamorphosis of the Tang seniors is no longer in the tomb, where can I bother." If the immortal is still there, it can only prove that someone is inciting the Tang Sect and the Zheng family to fight. Or is it ...... Hey hey ......"
Xie Bangui didn't finish his words, but anyone could hear the meaning of his words, he just meant that "the Tang Sect may have ulterior motives and deliberately made a dead man into the tomb, intent on digging up the ancestral grave of the Zheng family." ”
Seeing that Tang Jingyuan bowed his head and was silent, Lao Qian immediately said strongly: "If the Tang family master does not agree to our proposal, then it is better to start a war." No matter what you Tang Sect wants, our Zheng family has taken it all. In order to protect the family, I, Zheng Xiaoqian, would rather be infamous on my back, and I would rather use all means to deal with the Tang Sect to the end. After this matter is resolved, Zheng will also apologize for his crimes in front of the heroes of the world and leave a name for the Zheng family. ”
The negotiations between the two families reached an impasse for a while, and Master Kuhai had to stand up and mediate: "Two donors, opening the ancestral tomb is very important, and Lao Wei hopes that the two families can give each other some time to consider." ”
"It's good!" Lao Qian nodded and said: "I solemnly declare that we are not going to open the Tang Sect Ancestral Tomb, but to go in and see what is going on without damaging the Tang Sect Ancestral Tomb." Of course, the whole trip was personally supervised by the predecessors of the Tang Sect and the Nine Great Sects, and no matter if the Zheng family entered the tomb had any transgressions, Zheng would be killed with his own hands and be fair. In the same way, the Tang Gate should also enter the Zheng family's tomb. ”
"Hmm!" Master Kuhai nodded: "The two family masters, please go back, and when the Zheng family master's proposal has a result, the old man will notify the two of them immediately." ”
