Chapter 41: The Beggar Gang's Altar
"Let's put aside the grievances between you first." Xu Fengnian opened his mouth to interrupt the-for-tat confrontation between the two, and after seeing that the two of them were closed, he looked at Ling Yan and the official behind him, and continued: "Ling Yan, I said that I was visiting, but I looked at your posture, I came to take people, if you come to handle the case as a court eagle dog, then you can go back now." If you come here as a person from the rivers and lakes, you can't take anyone with you today, even if I help the disciples make mistakes and have my own gang rules to deal with them, it will not be your turn for outsiders to interfere. ”
"Gang Master Xu, the imperial court has a decree not to meddle in the grievances of the rivers and lakes, but it doesn't mean that the people in the rivers and lakes will ignore the crimes, we don't care how your sects fight and kill each other, but I must arrest this person as a traitor, Ling was also a person from the rivers and lakes, and now he is polite enough to you, if you change someone, I am afraid it will not be this attitude." As he spoke, he ordered his subordinates to carry the coffin over and opened the lid of the coffin.
As the coffin was opened, a strong foul smell permeated, and the coffin was full of young people of different shapes and mutilated bodies. Tong corpse, Ling Yan looked at Xu Fengnian coldly, and said slowly: "I have no right to interfere with how your gang develops, but I let the disciples go and rely on mutilation, kidnapping and trafficking of children. Tong came to collect money, such a heartbroken and angry thing, Ling Mou can't ignore it, these noble disciples who have been pressed over can testify, Tian Hu, the master of the incense altar under your palm, is the mastermind of this matter, Xu Gang Master, I don't know if you are being hidden in the dark, or..."
After listening to the testimony of the beggar who was arrested, Xu Fengnian's face was gloomy and ugly, he whispered to a few people around him, and then arched his hand and said: "I really don't know about this matter, when I verify the situation, if this is the case, it will definitely be corrected on the spot, and Xu will not let go of all those involved in this matter." ”
Xu Fengnian sighed, arched his hand towards everyone present, and continued: "There was such an ugly thing in the gang, which made a few people laugh, I already know the matter, please go back." ”
"Gang Master Xu, since Ling is here today, he must see that there is a result of the matter, so naturally he can't go back in such a daze. Bring them out and give them to me. Ling Yan's eyes sharpened, and she said unyieldingly.
"Ha, speaking of which, I really came to get people, since this is the case, let's follow the rules of the rivers and lakes, the strong in the rivers and lakes are respected, if you defeat me today, you can naturally take people away." Xu Fengnian smashed the table in front of him with one palm and strode out.
Zhuo Lengchan saw the sudden change in the situation at the scene, and he really didn't want to openly make enemies with the imperial court, after all, the beggars were highly mobile, and Hangzhou couldn't stay, so they would develop like a new territory, and their roots were in Hangzhou.
In addition, as early as the night Lin Fan escaped, he had already begun to secretly destroy the evidence that proved his involvement and the relevant personnel, thinking that even if Ling Yan was suspicious, he would not be able to produce the corresponding evidence. Even if someone in the beggar gang bites himself, it can be said to be slanderous. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Since Ling Zhutou is here to investigate the case and take people, I really don't know what Ling Zhutou's intention is to invite us over, my Giant Whale Gang has never been involved, if there is nothing else, Zhuo Mou will take someone back first." ”
The beggar gang refused to hand over people, the giant whale gang refused to admit it, the matter really became more and more tricky, before Ling Yan could speak, Lin Fan jumped out first, and testified: "Zhuo Lengchan, when I was in Hangzhou, you giant whale gang chased and killed me with the people of the beggar gang, and now you want to take yourself out?" ”
"Boy, talk about evidence, if I want to kill you, Zhuo has been operating in Hangzhou for so many years, how can you escape? Don't bite indiscriminately. Zhuo Lengchan narrowed his eyes and stared at Lin Fan and said with bad words.
"Zhuo Gang Master, although Huo and Ling were not there that night, he also heard about it when he came back this time, so he can't say that he didn't participate and didn't know."
Zhuo Lengchan smiled contemptuously, and said to a man beside Xu Fengnian: "Some time ago, there was some friction with the beggar gang, and there was a fight between our two gangs, and now the misunderstanding has been resolved, and you say yes, Deputy Gang Leader Qian." ”
"Exactly, it's all a misunderstanding." Qian Bolin, the deputy leader of the beggar gang, sneered, and when he saw Xu Fengnian looking at himself suspiciously, he whispered a few words in his ear.
"In this case, Zhuo Gang Leader, you can go back first, but after the problem of the beggar gang is solved, Ling will inevitably come to the door to ask for advice."
"If Ling Zhutou comes, Zhuo will naturally know everything, let's go."
"Wait! We don't pay attention to any evidence in Xiaoyao Valley, since we have bullied our junior brother, please also ask Zhuo Gang Master to wash his neck and wait with peace of mind, but don't wait for us to solve the problem of the beggar gang and find that the soles of your feet are oiled and run away. Before Zhuo Lengchan could take people away, Jiang Yun suddenly spoke.
"Joke, Zhuo is still afraid that you won't make it? I didn't want to disturb Ling Zhutou to investigate the case, but you guys are so nonsense, so let's just compete here. Zhuo Lengchan didn't want to lose face in front of his subordinates, so he immediately opened his posture and said murderously.
"Okay, I'll see the tricks of the Zhuo Gang Master first." Lin Fan was the first to jump out, the matter was originally caused by himself, so he would test Zhuo Yilong's skills first, even if he was defeated, he could consume the opponent's physical strength.
"Dad, drink a cup of tea and dissipate your anger." Zhuo Yilong suddenly interrupted the two, poured a cup of tea for Zhuo Lengchan, and after his father took the teacup and took a sip, he ran to Lin Fan again, and desperately winked at him while dissuading him.
"Zhuo'er, get up." Zhuo Lengchan put down the teacup, walked in front of Lin Fan and pushed Zhuo Yilong away, just as he was about to make a move, his face suddenly changed, he glanced at Zhuo Yilong in disbelief, and said angrily: "You are really out of luck." Then he continued to Lin Fan: "That's it, Zhuo is unwell today, so he will admit defeat." As he spoke, he slapped Zhuo Yilong hard, and angrily led people away.
"Dad" Zhuo Yilong was slapped by his father, got up in a hurry and shouted to chase after him, and glanced at Lin Fan meaningfully before going out.
"Tut-tut, it's not lively, the old man is also gone, you can do it yourself." Tian Duya came uninvited, originally wanted to see Zhuo Lengchan's jokes, but seeing that there was no fight, Ling Yan only chased after the beggars, and the focus was not on Zhuo Lengchan, and after seeing that he led people away, he had no interest in continuing to watch, and got up to say goodbye.
Ling Yan glanced around, and after the Giant Whale Gang and the Four Seas Gang had left, he arched his hand and said, "The Xu Gang Master has great skills, I'm afraid that I will go with my friends in Xiaoyao Valley, and I will not be your opponent, this condition is too harsh." But if Ling goes back like this today, the government will investigate it, and the court will really send troops to suppress the beggar gang and round up the beggars in the world, I am afraid that we will not look good at that time, how about you and I take a step back today? ”
Xu Fengnian's face hesitated for a long time, if he really told Ling Yan, the imperial court would investigate it and issue a notice to publicize what the beggar gang had done, not to mention that the entire gang would be humiliated in the rivers and lakes, and he would flee with the main members in all directions, even if the imperial court couldn't catch him and others, the ordinary disciples under his command would suffer heavy losses. But if you hand over people like this, I am afraid that your position will be criticized by the people below.
"That's it, I don't embarrass you, if you can go twenty rounds under me, I will hand over Tian Hu to you, if not, you can go together, and no one can take it away today." Xu Fengnian sighed and compromised.
"So it is offended." Ling Yan shook the handle of the knife in his hand hard, and the long knife came out of his shell, and then he held it with his other hand, and rushed towards Xu Fengnian, and it was a horizontal slash when it came up.
A group of beggar gang disciples and Zi Xuan and the others all jumped backwards and jumped out of the circle to leave the venue for the two of them. Xu Fengnian picked up the bamboo stick casually, bounced off Ling Yan's attack, and slapped it with a sharp palm in the void, and the palm wind actually carried the sound of a tiger roaring and a dragon.
Ling Yan retracted the knife and crossed her arms in front of her chest, and then violently stretched out her arms, a wave of qi spread out from her body, and the two internal forces collided with each other to cancel out, while the worn-out tables and chairs around her shattered one after another, making a crackling sound.
"It's!"
Lin Fan's eyes widened, looking at the two people in the field to make moves, when he was desperate, relying on the blood shield Dafa had also stimulated the transformation of internal force, but he was not as free as the two people in front of him.
Previously, the master said in general terms that the martial arts people in the rivers and lakes are roughly divided into first, second and third rates, if this is a game between masters, then what level is he now?
After thinking about it, the twenty moves were over, Ling Yan jumped out of the circle, adjusted his breath and arched his hand: "The Xu Gang Master has conceded." ”
Xu Fengnian looked at Ling Yan with a look of pity and sighed: "Without the guidance of a famous teacher, you can still have such skills, but it's a pity, why did you take refuge in the imperial court." ”
"Everyone has his own ambitions." Ling Yan smiled indifferently, did not answer positively, and said casually.
Xu Fengnian shook his head, didn't say anything more, his expression converged and said: "Xu Mou's words are counted, you can go back to the beggar gang with me, and I will hand over Tian Hu to you." ”
When the group came out of the broken temple, Ling Yan deliberately slowed down and quietly came to the back of the team, and then quietly spit out a mouthful of blood on the ground, and wiped it with his sleeve indiscriminately, obviously suffering internal injuries.
After walking out of Hangzhou City for about an hour, a cottage appeared in front of everyone, "This is the beggar gang general altar?" How did it look like a bandit's den. Lin Fan and the Lingsha beside him muttered quietly.
"There are so many people in the beggar gang, do you really think they all live on the streets or in broken temples?" Ling Shajiao laughed and whispered in Lin Fan's ear.
"Then you don't have to make a whole stockade so exaggerated." Lin Fan looked at the well-guarded and difficult to attack stockade in front of him and exclaimed, who said that the beggar gang came unorganized and undisciplined?
