Chapter 25: The Apricot Grove (4)
"This, Elder Bai, how could you do such a thing! Alas! Qiao Feng looked at Bai Shijing and looked at him regretfully.
"I'm afraid he's not the only one who does this kind of thing, there should be another one," Duan Rui looked at Bai Shijing and said to Qiao Feng.
"You mean, there's another person," Qiao Feng said in surprise.
"Yes, there is no profit to be done by such a rebellious gang leader as the helmsman, I think he must have benefited from Mrs. Ma or others, am I right! Second Prince Zhao" Duan Rui looked at Quan Guanqing and said the news that he didn't get through.
"Yes, after Quan Guanqing was colluded with by Mrs. Ma, he was brought to see me by my people, and the main purpose was to force Qiao Feng away." Zhao Xi said it without concealment.
"After he left, the prince took control of the beggar gang in his hands with the righteousness of the court, and the prince had eyes in the whole country, and he could see many things that I couldn't see, and he could also help me get many things that didn't belong to me. However, I didn't expect you to suddenly come out and disrupt my original plan. ”
"What" All this is a plot made by the imperial court against the beggar gang, a conspiracy to attack the prestige and strength of the beggar gang.
"Why, my beggar gang is loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, why did you kill my beggar gang because of your personal selfish desires?" Elder Song said angrily.
"Humph! Loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, the beggar gang is loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty that has decayed, and I want you to submit to this prince, the development speed and strength of your beggar gang have progressed too much, this has already produced an image of the imperial court, even if I don't design you, my father will suppress you. Zhao Xi looked at the anger on the faces of the beggars and said with a slight smile.
"It shouldn't be more than just beggars!"
"Of course, not only the beggar gang, but also the big gangs such as Shaolin, Dali, Gusu Murong, and Tianshan will all suffer from the blows of my royal family."
"Your Highness, this is not good!"
"yes"
Saying bad things about the court in such a blatant manner, and also making the plans of the court public, if the guards or chamberlains sent by the royal family hear it, it will be over.
And Qiao Feng and the other beggars looked at Zhao Xi with anger on their faces, eager to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
Qiao Feng reflected on whether he thought too highly of himself, and developed the beggar gang to such a large age, attracting the prying eyes of others, and almost falling into the beggar gang and danger.
The elders are considering whether they should not help the imperial court, the four elders have made outstanding contributions to the imperial court, and many disciples of the beggar gang have also made some contributions to the imperial court to a greater or lesser extent.
Now the imperial court has begun to do the matter of demolishing the bridge in the river, although this is the usual means used by the superiors, but is it too early now, now the Great Song Dynasty is in trouble, and now the beggars are especially broken!
"Although you are the second prince, but you are now attacking my beggar gang, it should not be the Song Emperor's signal, why did you force the Qiao gang leader away?" Elder Chen thought of something, this seemed to be a conspiracy between Madame Ma and the so-called Second Prince from the beginning to the present.
"Qiao Feng is a foreigner, who knows if he will do anything to harm the interests of my Great Song Dynasty for his own clan in the end, just in case, so it is more reassuring for this beggar gang to be in his own hands."
"What, the gang leader Qiao is a foreigner, not a Han Chinese" The four elders were surprised, and relatively speaking, Bai Shijing and Quan Guanqing were much calmer, Bai Shijing had already learned about it because Mrs. Ma wanted to frame Qiao Feng after they killed Deputy Gang Leader Ma, and Quan Guanqing also knew because he colluded with Mrs. Ma to make this conspiracy.
In addition to Zhao Xi and Duan Rui, Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan also had surprises on their faces, not wanting to know not only the imperial court's plan for the rivers and lakes this time, but also the news that the leader of the beggar gang was not Han.
Qiao Feng looked at Duan Rui, Bai Shijing and the others, who were not surprised, and knew that Zhao Xi was not lying, but this matter was very important and needed to be considered.
Qiao Feng took the magic knife and said: "Master Quanrudder, you said that you know the truth about my life experience, and you said that this matter is related to the safety of the gang, just because you know that I am not Han Chinese. Speaking of this, he returned the magic sword into his baggage, put it in his arms, and said: "You instigated rebellion, and death is inevitable, but you have a reason for it, and you will be exempted from death for the time being." Go ahead, take off the cloth bag on your back, and from now on, you will be no longer in the beggar gang. ”
The so-called "untie the cloth bag on your back" is the meaning of expelling the gang. Except for those who have just joined the gang and have no duties, each of them has a cloth bag on their backs, with nine bags at most and one bag at the least.
Quan Guanqing listened to Qiao Feng's order to untie the cloth bag on his back, his eyes were fierce, he looked at Qiao Feng with a devouring gaze, and he was about to commit suicide after snatching the magic knife with his backhand, but he was still young and had not lived a life of enjoyment enough, and he had not had time to see the big mansion and beautiful woman promised by Zhao Xi's second prince, so he couldn't die yet.
So Quan Guanqing moved his lips, but did not speak, slowly put the magic knife in the return place, and then slowly untied the cloth bag on his back one by one, and respectfully placed it on the ground.
"Waste" looked at Quan Guanqing and didn't even have the ability to commit suicide, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, although he was not his own subordinate or an attendant, but in the end, he did not let the development of things change enough to affect the world, Tiandao would not trouble him, and his plan would not be affected.
When he saw that the whole crown was cleared to the fifth cloth bag, suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves, and horses from the north came galloping, followed by one or two whistles. Someone in the group whistled accordingly, and the horse galloped faster and faster, gradually galloping closer, Wu Changfeng muttered: "What is the emergency?" ”
"It's coming," Zhao Xi smiled and looked at the sound of horses' hooves coming from the north.
"It's time to come, all the participants should be on the stage, but I need to think about what role I should play in this scene." Duan Rui also felt something when he looked at the arrival of the horse, although the plot had been almost changed by Duan Rui, but the influence of Heavenly Dao should not be underestimated.
The horse had not yet galloped, and suddenly there was also a horse galloping from the east, but it was still far away, and the sound of hooves was faint, and it was not clear where it was galloping for a while. In a few moments, the horse from the north had galloped out of the forest, and one of them rode into the forest, turned over and saddled. The man had a wide robe with large sleeves and was very richly ornamented, and he quickly removed his coat, revealing the quail-clad beggar outfit inside.
Duan Yu said secretly, "The people in the beggar gang gallop on horseback, which is very easy to attract attention, and the people in the government are often more likely to inquire and interfere, but the person who transmits the emergency information must ride a horse, and he is a messenger who is in a hurry to pretend to be a rich businessman, but he still wears quail clothes inside, and he does not dare to forget his roots." ”
