Chapter Ninety-Five: The Weak Scholar
Chapter 95: Weak Scholar
Tuoba frowned.
Zhan Yingcai quickly came back to his senses:
"Your Highness, there is no one in the coffin, only a set of shrouds!"
"Shroud?" Tuoba Jun also flew over to take a look.
Sure enough, there was only one set of shrouds in the coffin.
Tuoba shook his sleeves, his eyes were frosty, and he looked at Qin Shaoqing and the people of Hongmen coldly and asked:
"What's going on?"
He originally thought that Qin Batian was just murdered and wanted to see the corpse, but the result was even more outrageous than he imagined.
There wasn't even a corpse!
In other words, there are no bones left!
He remembered something else at this moment.
ββThe mandarin duck that died in the garden of the Prince's Mansion turned into a pool of blood in an instant.
He coldly put the jade cicada back into the bag.
Zhan Ying sighed when he saw Tuoba Jun take the jade cicada back into his bag.
Qin Shaoqing and everyone in Hongmen knelt down.
Other relatives and friends who came to mourn, including Xue Wuniang, Feng Shisanniang and Master Jin, looked at each other and didn't know what was going on.
ββ¦β¦ Qin Gongzi, this, what the hell is going on? Xue Wuniang couldn't help but ask Qin Shaoqing in astonishment.
"Yes, why did we come to mourn, but ...... Is it a set of condolences? Feng Thirteen Niang also looked at the people of Hongmen in astonishment.
Qin Shaoqing seemed to not know where to start for a while.
"Why, Qin Batian is dead, but the coffin is empty, don't you have anything to explain to this king?" Tuoba Jun looked at Hongmen kneeling down again.
He then looked at Qin Shaoqing coldly, wrapped in frost, and said with doubts:
"Gongzi Qin, I heard that you have been separated from the Lord of the Qin Sect for many years, and you finally came back to reunite with your father.
Now that it is only more than a month, the master of the Qin Sect is dead, and there are no bones left.
Could it be that you conspired with the others to kill your own father? β
Tuoba Jun's voice was not heavy, but it was not angry and threatening, and it was even more chilling.
"Wronged, Your Highness." Qin Shaoqing kowtowed and said, "This matter is a long story. β
"No matter how long or short it is, you have to give this king a reasonable explanation!" Tuoba said, "Otherwise, I can only ask Qin Gongzi and the others to go back to the prison to explain!" β
He originally wanted to sit on the chair in front of the mourning hall, after all, he felt that the atmosphere was weird.
Glancing at the chair, he walked towards the courtyard.
Zhan Ying understood his intentions and moved the chair to the courtyard outside and let Tuoba Jun sit down.
On the roof outside the courtyard, the sorcerer, the bull head and horse face, etc., were still waving flags to summon spirits, and their mouths were singing strange four-way soul conjuring spells.
Tuoba frowned slightly, and wiped his ears impatiently.
Zhan Ying and the other guards immediately flew up to the roof and ordered them to stop.
Qin Shaoqing and the others followed to the courtyard.
Qin Shaoqing bowed and said:
"Back to His Royal Highness King Gaoyang, seven days ago, my father made an appointment with other gangs to meet with a few Caoyun bosses in the Red River to discuss the distribution of docks and other issues.
As a result, before their respective ships could get closer, their father's ship exploded.
None of the people on the boat survived, all of them were blown to minced meat and washed away by the river. β
"Ship explosion? Why didn't the king hear the report of such a great event? Tuoba said, glancing at Zhan Ying again.
"If the people don't report it, the officials won't hold it accountable. We, Hongmen, believe that it was the other gangs that deliberately murdered the deceased father, so we would know the whereabouts of the deceased father.
However, there is no evidence for the time being, and it is useless to report to the government. It will only cause trouble for the government.
suppressed the matter and wanted Hongmen to investigate it slowly and thoroughly. Qin Shaoqing said.
"Those seven days have passed, why did you only hold a funeral for Qin Batian today?" Tuoba asked coldly.
Qin Shaoqing said respectfully:
"These days our people have been searching the lower reaches of the Red River, hoping to find the body of our late father.
As a result, seven days passed, and nothing was found.
And today is the seventh day of the father's head, hoping to bring back the soul of the father.
As His Highness saw just now, the wizard outside was helping his father summon spirits. β
"So, this matter is a fight between your gangs, so you didn't report it to the government?" Tuoba Jun asked again.
The cold eyes passed over Qin Shaoqing and looked at the old guys in Hongmen.
One of the old men of Hongmen, Lao Yutou, stood up and hugged his fists:
"Back to His Royal Highness King Gaoyang, the rivers and lakes have the rules of the rivers and lakes.
For those of us in the rivers and lakes, the disputes between the gangs in the rivers and lakes have always been resolved by ourselves.
As long as you don't poke Lou Zi, try not to cause trouble for the government. β
The other businessmen also nodded their heads one by one.
Master Jin also nodded and said:
"Back to His Royal Highness, the gangs in the rivers and lakes make a living, go up to the government to be filial piety, and rely on strength to occupy their own territory.
In general, gang disputes have always been resolved by themselves, and try not to cause trouble to the government.
Such gangs, the government let them survive. β
Tuoba stood up coldly and glanced at everyone.
"Dawei water and dry wharf, three religions and nine streams, see you in the rivers and lakes. The king knows! Tuoba said loudly.
Everyone listened in silence.
Tuoba Jun's words turned sharply, and suddenly became cold:
"This king is here to leave a sentence, how your gangs love to fight, this king can not care, but don't hurt the innocent. Otherwise, don't blame this king for being unkind! β
The tone was so loud that everyone seemed to tremble.
Finally, he softened his tone a little, and then said:
"In any case, I would like to ask you to mourn. Since you have to solve the dispute between your rivers and lakes sects by yourself, then if this king does not come today, you continue! β
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness King Gaoyang......"
Everyone respectfully sent Tuoba Jun to the outside of the Qin Mansion.
Before leaving the Qin Mansion, Tuoba Jun and Qin Shaoqing, who had bid farewell, glanced at each other.
Tuoba Jun only saw Qin Shaoqing's calm eyes, from beginning to end, Qin Shaoqing's body did not have what Tuoba Jun wanted to see.
Back in the barracks, no matter whether there were dead people at today's funeral, Zhan Ying was still afraid that there would be bad luck on the body of His Royal Highness King Gaoyang.
Quickly lit a brazier and let Tuoba Jun step over, so that he could rest assured.
"Superstition!" Tuoba shummed in his mouth.
Regardless of the brazier, he walked into the barracks, or Zhan Ying pulled him and forcibly asked him to cross the brazier.
He had no choice but to cross the brazier and return to the camp.
"Look at you, you're about to become a normal mother!" Tuoba Road.
Mama Chang is Tuoba Jun's nurse.
"Your Highness is turning around and scolding your subordinates for being women." Zhan Ying grinned.
"Aren't you?" Tuoba Jun sneered.
Zhan Ying grinned.
Regardless of Tuoba Jun's ridicule, he asked Tuoba Jun in surprise:
"General, did you know that there was no Qin Batian in the coffin at all, so you deliberately wanted to give him a jade cicada and open the lid of his coffin to check?"
"General Ben only learned about Qin Batian's death from you two hours ago, how could he know that there was no one in the coffin." Tuoba Jun has a lot on his mind.
"Then you still deliberately want to go to mourn, and you also deliberately took out the jade cicada to give it to Qin Ba Tianhan and let them open the coffin lid? If there is someone in the coffin, wouldn't he really want to give this jade cicada to him? Zhan Ying pouted distressedly.
"Humph! Qin Batian? How can you be blessed to receive the king's jade cicada! Tuoba Jun sneered.
"You take the jade cicada with you, and go prepared. Could it be that you have long suspected that Qin Shaoqing killed his father in order to sit in the position of the boss of Hongmen? Zhan Ying asked curiously.
"If there is no doubt, how can you go to the Qin Mansion to mourn. But what is the most wrong thing about their funeral? Tuoba Jun asked Zhan Ying rhetorically.
ββ¦β¦ Dead person? Zhan Ying said with a very smart face, "There are dead people in other people's funerals, but there are no dead people in their funerals!" β
"Before you open the coffin, do you know that there are no dead people in the coffin?" Tuoba patted him on the head.
"Oops!" Zhan Ying screamed in pain.
After a pause, he shook his head and said, "I really don't know." β
"Sad!" Tuoba Road.
ββ¦β¦ Sad? Zhan Ying frowned and stroked his head, and then seemed to have an understanding.
"All the funerals, the deceased is gone, a hundred, I don't know the pain.
But how sad it should be for the living relatives. Some of them wept and mourned, and their liver and intestines were broken, which was simply sad for those who heard it, and weeping for those who heard it.
Look at today's funerals, although they are all etiquette, but which person is grief-stricken?
Including Qin Batian's wives and concubines, did anyone cry heartbroken?
Even the only filial son, Qin Shaoqing, is impeccable in etiquette, but he can't find a trace of grief on his body.
Even his eyes have never seen red, and there is no trace of crying!
After being separated for so many years, the father and son were finally reunited, and suddenly lost again, isn't it sad at all? β
Zhan Ying suddenly realized: "It turns out that His Highness felt that this atmosphere was wrong, so he thought of opening Qin Batian's coffin." β
"General Ben opened the coffin at that time to see if Qin Batian was killed." Tuoba Jun snorted, "The result is even more unexpected, not even the corpse capital!" β
"Could it be that Qin Batian was really blown up to the point that there are no bones left?" Zhan Yingdao.
"It's so weird! This king always felt that he was inseparable from Qin Shaoqing. Tuoba Jun groaned.
"But Qin Shaoqing is a humble scholar, and Yushu is in the wind......"
As soon as Zhan Ying began to praise Qin Shaoqing for a few words, Tuoba Jun's eyes slashed over like a blade.
Zhan Ying was so frightened that he hurriedly got to the point:
"Even if Qin Shaoqing plotted to kill his Lao Tzu, he sat on the position of the master of the Hongmen.
But he, a weak scholar who is powerless, can he suppress those hall masters in Hongmen?
And when the other gangs see the death of Qin Batian, who is strong in martial arts, I am afraid that they will gradually divide up and eat up the Hongmen.
Could it be that the weak scholar, with his example, even if he took the position of Lao Tzu, thought that he could keep Hongmen? β
"Who told you he was powerless?" Tuoba Jun squinted at Zhan Ying, his face sinking.
"He is full of bookishness, and his subordinates are stupid, and he doesn't ...... Didn't you see that he knew martial arts? Zhan Ying said in astonishment.
"Haven't you heard a sentence called deep concealment? Idiot! Tuoba Jun was going to reach out and pat him again.
This time, he was dodged by Zhan Ying.
"Today's Qinfu Lingtang, one by one, including those businessmen who came to mourn, Xue Wuniang, Master Jin, Feng Thirteen Niang, all of them are top masters of martial arts.
And Qin Shaoqing's martial arts, I'm afraid, are not below them! β
ββ¦β¦ That scholar knows martial arts? Zhan Ying was still stunned, not believing that he had looked away.
"From now on, pay close attention to all the movements of Hongmen, especially that Qin Shaoqing!" Tuoba Road.
"No! General! Zhan Ying said respectfully.
As soon as Qin Batian's funeral ended, the next day, there was a bloody fight on the rivers and lakes.
First of all, Cai Laojiu took the gang to Hongmen, saying that he was visiting the new Hongmen master, but in fact, he was provoking the new Hongmen master Qin Shaoqing.
The people of Hongmen include several other deputy masters, seeing that Cai Laojiu is strong and strong outside the door, and their strong martial arts master of Qinmen has passed away, everyone thinks that this weak scholar is not worthy of the heavy responsibility of Hongmen.
No one can sit in Hongmen, after all, it is a little timid.
But cowardice, the enemy hit the door, they are all unfathomable, they have always licked blood with knives to live, and they can only go out to meet the enemy first.
"Cai Laojiu, you are too much! Our Qinmen master has just passed away, so you will come to the door to find fault. Isn't it too deceitful? The old man in charge of the second head of Hongmen scolded.
"Get out of the realm of our Hongmen, otherwise you will have no return......," the Hongmen people were also shouting and cheering.
"Qin Batian has been on Cai Ye's head for so many years, Lao Tzu's bird's breath should have been sprinkled a long time ago!
Now that he has been accepted by God, this Hongmen should also be accepted by Cai Ye and me, right? Cai Laojiu said it as a matter of course.
The implication is that it does not take everyone in Hongmen into account.
Old Yu jumped up angrily and scolded:
"Cai Laojiu, our master asked you to meet, but he died with no bones.
Among them, it must be inseparable from you!
We, Hongmen, and your Qinggang can be described as hatred from all over the world, and thousands of mountains and rivers hate you, but you still dare to come to the door to provoke? β
"Old Yutou, what do you jump, no matter how you jump, you Hongmen can't keep it!
Lao Tzu simply made it clear today, Cai Ye and I, I just led someone to provoke you Hongmen! Cai Laojiu shouted with martial arts.
He raised his hands and tightened his sleeves.
"Whew! Swish! Swish! β
The gang behind has all drawn their swords.
The Hongmen Gate is also "Hang!" Boom! Boom! "All draw their swords.
The two sides are on the verge of breaking out.
At this time, Qin Shaoqing, who was dressed as a Confucian in a green shirt, walked up.
Qin Shaoqing glanced at Cai Laojiu with disdain, and said coldly:
"Gang Master Cai is so unpopular, you are transparent to me Qin Shaoqing, the new head of the Hongmen?"
Cai Laojiu seemed to notice the scholar at this time.
He glanced at Qin Shaoqing up and down, with a sneer, and sneered:
"You are Qin Batian, the long-lost scholar's son? Cai Ye, I thought you were a turtle with a shrunken head, and I didn't dare to come out! β
"Gang Master Cai, this son hasn't asked you to avenge the murder of his father, but you actually sent your head to the door?" Qin Shaoqing smiled and behaved elegantly.
Although his attitude is elegant and leisurely, the meaning of his words is sharp.
"Master Cai, I respect you, this later life is a scholar, so I call you a Qin Gongzi.
The death of your Lao Tzu is because he has done too many things that hurt nature and reason, and he is to blame.
You're less fucking bloody spew!
I heard that you can't put the book in your hands and love books like crazy.
You kid should go back to study, so go back to study.
Don't stand in the way of your Ninth Master, after the old Qin family was cut off in vain! Cai Laojiu snorted disdainfully.
ββ¦β¦ Is it? Qin Shaoqing bowed slightly, and asked with regret.
Suddenly, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and he suddenly snatched a long knife from the hands of the gang beside him.
I didn't see how he made a move, his body was as fast as lightning, and he flashed to Cai Laojiu at once.
The knife fell in his hand, like a cold hurricane, and Cai Laojiu's head was cut off from his neck.
The blood "stabbed" and spurted out.
Qin Shaoqing wanted to avoid the blood, but he was still splashed on his face.
Cai Laojiu's head rolled to the ground, and he was still staring at the big eyes in disbelief.
All the people didn't have time to see his figure clearly, and they couldn't come back to their senses all of a sudden.
The blood on Cai Laojiu's neck kept spurting out like a fountain, and the half of his body stopped for a moment before he fell.
The guards beside Cai Laojiu, who had come to their senses, just wanted to draw their knives and slash, but they were swept away by Qin Shaoqing's knives, cutting off all their hands.
The screams were heart-rending, the severed hand and the knife fell to the ground, and the wounded were bleeding profusely.
The crimson blood soaked into the mud and became black, red, black, and red, like a red rose.
Mixed with the severed hand of flesh and blood, it is shocking.
He made a move, it was too fast!
It's so fast that everyone is still confused!
Scared everyone away!
Unexpectedly, he was an elegant scholar with a polite quality, and he was a hundred times more ruthless than his old man.
"In the future, the Green Gang will be Hongmen's." Qin Shaoqing said lightly.
He took out a white handkerchief and carefully wiped off the little blood that had been splashed on his face.
The gangs in the rivers and lakes are all ruthless masters, and many people originally disagreed with this weak scholar.
Including the other deputy leaders of Hongmen, now that they see that Qin Shaoqing is more ruthless than his old man, they are also shocked.
