Chapter 22: Strategies for Life and Righteousness (1)

After hearing this, Wu Changfeng felt even more ashamed of Qiao Feng, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Gang leader, we betrayed you because we misbelieved people's words, only said that you were at odds with Deputy Gang Leader Ma, and secretly colluded with the Gusu Murong clan to kill him." All kinds of little things come together, and people can't help but believe it. Now that I think about it, we're just too nonsense. Elder Bai, you invite the magic sword, according to the gang rules, we will decide on our own. ”

Bai Shijing's face was like frost, and he said in a deep voice: "Law enforcement disciple, please help the magic sword." ”

His nine disciples replied in unison, "Yes! "Each person took out a yellow cloth bag from the cloth bag behind his back, opened the bag, and took out a short knife. Nine brilliant short knives were juxtaposed side by side, the same length and size, and under the light of the fire, the blades flashed with the brilliance of Lan Sensen. A law enforcement disciple held a section of the tree, and the nine people inserted nine short knives into the wood at the same time, and entered with their hands, which showed that the nine knives were extremely sharp. The nine people shouted in unison: "The magic knives are all gathered, and they are verified." ”

Bai Shijing sighed and said, "The four elders of Ben Xi Chen and Wu mistakenly believed the words of the people, plotted rebellion, and endangered the great cause of the gang, and the crime should be executed with a knife." Dazhi divides the helm and helm master Quan Guanqing, creates remote confusion and instigates civil strife, and the crime deserves nine knives to death. The disciples who participated in the rebellion will be held accountable for their crimes, and they will be investigated and punished separately in the future. ”

He pronounced the punishment of each man, and the people were silent. Any gang on the rivers and lakes, anyone who betrays his gang and plots to kill the gang leader will be executed as a matter of course, and no one will have any dissent. When they were involved in the plot, they knew the consequences.

Wu Changfeng strode forward, bowed to Qiao Feng and said, "Helper, Wu Changfeng is sorry for you, and he will cut it off on his own." I hope you know that I am nonsense, after I die, you forgive Wu Changfeng. As he spoke, he walked to the magic knife and said loudly: "Wu Changfeng broke off on his own, and the law enforcement disciples loosened their ties." A law enforcement disciple said, "Yes! Stepping forward to untie him, Qiao Feng shouted: "Wait! ”

Wu Changfeng's face was as dead as ashes, and he said in a low voice: "Helper, my sin is too great, you don't allow me to judge myself?" ”

The rules of the beggar gang, if the person who violates the gang rules breaks the gang rules on his own, his reputation will be untainted after death, and his crimes and bad deeds will never be spread. The heroes in the martial arts take their reputation very seriously, and they refuse to let their name be humiliated after their death, Wu Changfeng saw that Qiao Feng did not allow him to break it off on his own, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Qiao Feng didn't answer, walked to the magic knife, and said: "Fifteen years ago, the Khitan Kingdom invaded Yanmen Pass, Elder Song learned the news, he didn't sleep for three days, didn't sleep for four nights, rushed back in the starry night, reported the emergency military situation, and killed nine good horses on the way, he was also so tired that he was injured internally, and he vomited foreign blood. Finally, our Great Song garrison was prepared, and the Khitan Hu cavalry retreated. This is a major event that contributes to the country, although the heroes on the rivers and lakes do not know the details, our beggars know. Elder Law Enforcement, Elder Song has made great contributions, and I hope you will see it and allow him to atone for his sins. ”

Bai Shijing said: "The helper pleaded on behalf of Elder Song, and what he said was reasonable. But there are rules in this gang: 'The great sin of betrayal of the gang cannot be forgiven, and even if there is great merit, it cannot be redeemed.' So as not to be arrogant and arrogant to those who have meritorious merit, and endanger the foundation of the gang for hundreds of generations. "Helper, your plea is inconsistent with the gang rules, and we can't break the rules handed down by the gang leaders over the generations. ”

Elder Song smiled miserably, took two steps, and said, "Elder Law Enforcement's words are not bad at all. Since we are in the position of elders, which one of us has not made a lot of contributions? If everyone is talking about the old deeds, then any crime can be committed. Helper, please have mercy on me, and allow me to decide on my own. Only two clicks were heard, and the tendons on his wrists had been broken.

The beggars were all moved. The tendon is strong and tough, even if it is cut with a steel knife, it may not be able to be cut for a while, but Elder Song broke it with a raise of his hand, and he deserves to be the head of the four elders of the beggar gang. As soon as Elder Song's hands were unrestrained, he reached out and grabbed the magic knife in front of him, so that he could break it by himself. Unexpectedly, a soft internal force was coming, and his fingers were a few feet away from the magic knife, so he couldn't reach over, and it was Qiao Feng who didn't let him take the knife.

Elder Song changed color miserably, and shouted, "Helper, you ......" Qiao Feng stretched out his hand and pulled up the magic knife on the left. Elder Song said: "That's it, that's it, I had the idea of killing you, I deserve it, you can do it!" The knife flashed in front of him, and with a soft pop, he saw Qiao Feng poke the magic knife into his left shoulder.

The beggars shouted "ah", and they all stood up in unison. Zhao Xi looked at Qiao Feng's actions, and couldn't help nodding and said: "Qiao Feng is worthy of Qiao Feng, what a good man, a real hero" Even Wang Yuyan, an outsider, was frightened by this change, and blurted out: "Qiao Gang Master, don't you ......

Qiao Feng said: "Elder Bai, among the rules of this gang, there is such a clause: 'If a disciple of this gang commits a foul, he must not be pardoned, but the gang leader is more tolerant, and he must also shed his own blood to wash away his sins. 'Yes and no? ”

Bai Shijing's face was still as stiff as a stone, and he said slowly: "There is such a rule for the gang, but the gang leader sheds blood and cleans people's sins, and you must also think about whether it is worth it." ”

Qiao Feng said: "As long as it doesn't break the ancestral legacy, that's fine." He turned around and said to Elder Xi: "Elder Xi instructed me in martial arts back then, although I didn't have the name of a master, but I actually had a master. This is still a private kindness. I think that back then, the Wang gang leader set up an ambush and captured the five masters of the Khitan Kingdom, and did it in the Black Wind Cave of Qilian Mountain, coercing my beggar gang to surrender to the Khitan. The Wang gang leader was short and fat, and Elder Xi was three points similar to him, so he disguised himself as the Wang gang leader and was willing to die on his behalf, so that the Wang gang leader could get out of danger. This is a great matter of merit to the country and the gang, and I must exonerate him from the crime. As he spoke, he pulled out the second magic knife, and with a slight wave, he cut off the tendons on Elder Xi's wrist, followed by a knife in his hand, and stabbed the magic knife into his shoulder.

His gaze slowly moved towards Elder Chen. Elder Chen has a perverse temperament, he has done something sorry for his family in previous years, changed his name and died, he is always worried that others will expose his scars, and he is afraid that Qiao Feng is shrewd, because he has been sparse with him, and has no deep friendship, at this time, he saw Qiao Feng's gaze, and said loudly: "Qiao Gang Master, I have no friendship with you, I usually offend you in too many places, and I dare not ask you to shed blood to redeem your life." With a flip of his arms, he suddenly moved from behind his back to the front of him, but his wrists were still firmly bound by the tendons. It turned out that his "all-arm boxing skills" had been practiced to the realm of supernatural transformation, a pair of arms stretched freely, his body squatted, his arms were slightly long, and he had snatched a magic knife in his hand.

Qiao Feng grabbed it with his backhand, snatched the short knife lightly and skillfully, and said loudly: "Elder Chen, I, Qiao Feng, am a rude man, I don't like to make friends who are cautious and meticulous in everything, and I don't like people who don't like to drink, refuse to talk more, and laugh and quarrel, this is my natural character, and I can't help it." I don't have a good temperament with you, and it's rare to have good words in ordinary times. I also don't like the behavior of Deputy Gang Leader Ma, and when I see him coming, I often avoid him, preferring to drink spirits and eat dog meat with a bag or two of the junior disciples. Everyone knows my temper. But if you think I want to get rid of you and Deputy Gang Leader Ma, you're very wrong. You and Deputy Gang Leader Ma are always serious and never get drunk, that's your benefit, I, Qiao Feng and you, don't get up. Speaking of this, he inserted the magic knife into his shoulder and said: "The great merit of assassinating Yelu Bulu, the deputy marshal of the left side of the Qitong Kingdom, is unknown to others, so don't I know it?" ”
