Chapter 116: Apricot Grove
Chen Can is slowly enjoying the flowers and enjoying the beautiful scenery, the beauty is in his arms, and he does not notice it at all, at this time, the apricot forest is already in crisis.
The two elders who were tied up were quickly released by the lake and hurried to the scene.
Bai Shijing, as a law enforcement elder, was very faceless at this time, he didn't expect Quan Guanqing to dare to do it to himself!
Although he knew that Qiao Feng was a Khitan, he didn't want to make a big deal about it, he and Kang Min conspired to kill Ma Dayuan, in addition to greedy for beauty, he also had his own ambitions.
Quan Guanqing's actions made Bai Shijing already believe that this person must be a scourge in the future!
Bai Shijing, as a law enforcement elder, protects the face of the beggars, and when he encounters this matter today, he will definitely not give up.
Bai Shijing walked to Qiao Feng's side with a calm face, looked at the four elders below, looked at a few people with cold eyes, and then scolded loudly, and the four elders all lowered their heads in shame.
After Bai Shijing finished scolding, he looked at Quan Guanqing angrily, and then reprimanded him severely, and even talked about Quan Guanqing's behavior to the height of betraying the beggar gang, not leaving half a face for the other party!
Quan Guanqing's face was annoyed at this time, he did everything he could, but he didn't expect Qiao Feng's prestige in the beggar gang to be so high, and in an instant, the situation was reversed.
But none of this matters, as long as he exposes the identity of Qiao Feng's Khitans, then all the next reversals will cease to exist!
Within the beggar gang, they will not tolerate a Khitan as their leader!
He didn't refute Bai Shijing's words at all, because he knew that it was useless for him to say more, he stared at the entrance road of the apricot forest, and just waited for a few witnesses in the suicide note to appear, and Qiao Feng's death date would come!
[I have known an old book friend for ten years to recommend a book-chasing app to me,
, laughed, and then, slowly stood up and looked directly at Qiao Feng.
He took two steps forward slowly, and said in a mocking tone.
"I'm sorry brothers, you haven't done it yet, but soon, you'll do it!"
Quan Guanqing's words caused an uproar among everyone, and Bai Shijing naturally knew what Quan Guanqing wanted to say next, so he hurriedly scolded.
"Nonsense! Qiao Gang Leader is a man who behaves in a fair and honest manner, and with some hearsay and gossip, you dare to spread rumors and betray the gang leader, Quan Guanqing, you can decide on your own!"
Quan Guanqing glanced at Bai Shijing coldly, and was about to say something when he heard Qiao Feng say something above.
"Slow down, Elder Bai, you don't have to be in a hurry, just let the Helmsman tell the matter from beginning to end, I want to hear how I am preparing to do something sorry to my brothers!"
Qiao Feng was actually in the lake at this time, but he vaguely realized that it was not simple in this, but if he didn't let Quan Guanqing explain it clearly, how could he convince the public?
What's more, today's incident is full of strangeness, the four elders who have always been of the same mind as themselves were actually encouraged by Quan Guanqing to betray themselves, and they almost succeeded, which is really incredible!
Quan Guanqing saw that the martial arts fellow he invited had not yet appeared, but if he said a four, five or six at this time, I was afraid that before the truth was spoken, he would be killed by the old thing Bai Shijing.
So he stepped forward and pointed at Qiao Feng and shouted.
"Deputy Gang Leader Ma's death, I believe, was due to Qiao Feng's instructions!"
As soon as Quan Guanqing's voice fell, everyone present looked at each other, in fact, this topic, Quan Guanqing said it before, and now it is mentioned again, what does it mean?
Qiao Feng didn't get angry, but said in a calm tone.
"The death of Deputy Gang Leader Ma has nothing to do with me, and I also said before, this matter is strange everywhere, I will investigate this matter carefully in the future, and I will definitely give Deputy Gang Leader Ma justice!"
Qiao Feng's words are undoubted, and the beggar disciples below did not question it out loud, mainly because Qiao Feng's prestige in the past was high enough, and everyone still chose to believe Qiao Feng in this matter.
Quan Guanqing laughed, looked at Qiao Feng, and said in a gloomy tone.
"Qiao Feng, do you think that the things you did can be hidden for a while, can you hide it for a lifetime?"
Qiao Feng didn't get angry, but took a fancy to Quan Guanqing and asked him to continue.
Quan Guanqing sneered and continued to speak.
"Qiao Feng, you have always hated Deputy Gang Leader Ma, and you were worried that your position as Gang Leader was unstable, so you instructed Murong Fu to assassinate Deputy Gang Leader Ma, today you and Murong Fu are brothers, many brothers have seen it with their own eyes, this is the evidence, how long do you want to quibble?"
Qiao Feng, who was anxious, was also angered by Quan Guanqing's words that reversed black and white, and the internal force was agitated in the dantian, and an invisible strong wind was brought up all over his body, and his long hair was blown and whirring, as if he had brought a hair dryer.
But after all, he was the leader of a gang, and he suppressed the anger in his heart, stood up, and bowed his hand to the brothers in the audience.
"Although I don't have a deep personal relationship with Deputy Gang Leader Ma, but I, Qiao Feng, admire Deputy Gang Leader Ma as a person, I will never harm him, I, Qiao Feng, swear to the heavens, the Emperor and the Queen of Heaven, people and gods learn together, if I harm Deputy Gang Leader Ma, I am willing to bear thousands of knives and be scolded by the world, I also hereby promise that as long as I find out the person who assassinated Deputy Gang Leader Ma, I will definitely break it into pieces!"
Qiao Feng doesn't have any heart, and he usually has this kind of character, but this is what he said made most of the beggars in the audience believe it.
After all, in the past, I really didn't hear that Qiao Feng and Ma Dayuan were in the gap above, everyone drank wine and ate meat, and there were never rumors of disagreement!
So at this time, Quan Guanqing's words of reversing black and white have almost no effect.
However, when Quan Guanqing saw Qiao Feng's oath, he immediately laughed, and this Qiao Feng finally got his way.
He dared to swear that next, as long as he revealed Qiao Feng's identity as a Khitan, then he, Qiao Feng, would suffer a thousand cuts!
So Quan Guanqing laughed, laughed madly, and finally laughed enough, then pointed at Qiao Feng and said.
"Qiao Feng, you are so calm! difficult
You don't know how you know!"
Qiao Feng snorted coldly.
"What do I know?"
Quan Guanqing laughed.
"Qiao Feng, you can pretend! Pretend to be a righteous gentleman and deceive all the brethren!"
Qiao Feng was a little stunned and a little angry, he really didn't know what this Quan Guanqing was thinking!
Quan Guan swept around the crowd, and was about to delay for a while, when he suddenly saw a fast horse galloping at the entrance of the apricot grove!
Seeing this, Quan Guanqing suddenly had some doubts, but this was just right, so he could delay for some time.
The horse galloped as he approached, and in the distance he heard the man on the horse shouting.
"Helper, helper, emergency military situation! Urgent military intelligence!"
Before the person arrived, the sound had arrived!
Qiao Feng hurriedly stepped forward and helped the messenger who fell off the horse.
The messenger was exhausted at this time, and tremblingly took out a wax pill from his arms and handed it to Qiao Feng.
Qiao Feng hurriedly arranged for someone to help the messenger down, and then pinched the wax pill, revealing a note inside.
Qiao Feng was about to open the note when he heard an urgent call not far away.
"Qiao Feng! Stop!"
Qiao Feng raised his head and saw a white-haired old man riding a horse on the road not far away, galloping towards him.
The white-haired old man was Xu Chongxiao, the former elder of the Beggar Gang.
This Elder Xu is the uncle of the previous gang leader, and he is also the former elder of the Beggar Gang, although he has retired, but his status is in the Beggar Gang, so it is naturally a transcendent status!
This Elder Xu was originally a retired employee of the Beggar Gang, why did he appear here?
Naturally, it was Kang Minbu's third pawn.
She and Bai Shijing assassinated Ma Dayuan as the first chess piece, and the second chess piece was Quan Guanqing's public trial of Qiao Feng in the apricot forest.
The third step is to let Elder Xu, the former elder of the Beggar Gang, come forward and completely hammer Qiao Feng's identity as a Khitan.
She not only wants Elder Xu to stone hammer Qiao Feng's Khitan identity, but also asks Elder Xu to identify Qiao Feng, even if he is the murderer of Ma Dayuan!
The reason why Elder Xu came forward was naturally because the other party was highly respected, and there was no room for sand in his eyes, such a person was the best knife.
Kang Min knows very well that Qiao Feng's prestige in the beggar gang, with Quan Guanqing's slander, may not work, although Quan Guanqing arranged the witnesses of Yanmen Pass back then, but without a respected person to preside, it is difficult to settle the situation in one fell swoop!
And the uncle of the former beggar gang leader, the former Nine Bags Elder Xu Chongxiao, such a candidate is the best chess piece!
First of all, Quanguan Qing slandered, and then Elder Xu's stone hammer, even if Qiao Feng's prestige was high, his reputation would be completely ruined!
This woman is ruthless, and she will never give the other party any way to live!
When Qiao Feng saw that it was Elder Xu, he immediately clasped his fists and saluted, and greeted him very respectfully.
Elder Xu glanced at Qiao Feng with a complicated expression, and then spoke towards Qiao Feng.
"Qiao Feng, you can't read this news! Give it to me!"
As he spoke, Elder Xu stretched out his hand to ask for it.
Qiao Feng was a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, he still handed the note to Elder Xu.
Qiao Feng didn't know that the reason why this Elder Xu didn't let him read the note was very simple, the other party had been played by Kang Min, and he was already 100% sure that he was a Khitan.
Since he is a Khitan, he can no longer serve as the leader of the beggar gang, and since he is not the leader of the gang, he naturally can't look at the emergency military situation of the beggar gang!
In fact, Elder Xu's hand can be said to have almost killed the beggar gang disciples present!
The information written on the note was that the people of Yipintang in Western Xia had known that the beggars had gathered in the apricot grove and were preparing to surround and suppress it.
But obviously, Elder Xu didn't know about this, he only had one thought at this time, that is, Qiao Feng was no longer worthy of sitting in that position.
Elder Xu took the note, and he didn't look at it, but put it into his cuff casually, and then he glanced at Qiao Feng, and then turned his head and shouted at the beggar disciples present.
"Brothers, today I put the legacy of Brother Ma Dayuan
Kang Min, I'm here! She has something to talk about with everyone, and she also invites a few friends to be a witness!"
Elder Xu's words made everyone present look at each other, but the faces of the few elders present changed, and they all looked at Elder Xu.
They already knew what Kang Min was going to say next, and they didn't want to make a big deal about it, and they would rather confess their guilt than let the beggars cause chaos within them.
But right now, even Elder Xu is here, and this matter can't be good!
Quan Guanqing's face showed ecstasy, he had already guessed what Kang Min was going to do next!
He didn't expect Kang Min to come and invite Elder Xu to come, this person has a transcendent status in the beggar gang, as long as Qiao Feng's identity as a Khitan is said from this mouth, then Qiao Feng has no room to turn over!
Elder Xu's words made Qiao Feng frown, but he still waved his hand.
"If it's a big deal, then wait!" ap.
Elder Xu looked at Qiao Feng with an inexplicable expression, and his tone had a hint of indescribability, and he slowly spoke.
"Of course it's a big deal!"
Qiao Feng was annoyed by Elder Xu's eyes, and today's matter is getting more and more weird.
First the four elders, then Quan Guanqing's reversal of black and white, and now Elder Xu, what the hell is going on?
But the person in front of him was not Quan Guanqing, but the respected Elder Xu, he could only suppress that irritability and wait quietly.
The disciples present were discussing, but the elders had solemn expressions, with a grim smile on the corner of Quan Guanqing's mouth, and Elder Xu had meaningful eyes, looking at Qiao Feng from time to time.
Finally, less than half an hour later, at the entrance, several fast horses galloped, behind the fast horses, followed by a plain flower bridge, four big men carried the flower bridge, followed the horse, straight to this side.
Soon, six horses stopped in front of Elder Xu one after the other, and several people dismounted, leading a bearded man to jump off the horse first.
Someone in the crowd of beggars recognized these people, and someone immediately shouted.
"What kind of wind is this that blows you Taishan and the five heroes?"
The bearded man walked straight to Qiao Feng with the five people behind him, and said with a hint of indescribable meaning.
"Gang Leader Qiao, Shan is uninvited, there is a lot of disturbance!"
Qiao Feng felt more and more that this matter was getting more and more weird, but the etiquette still had to be done, and then he hugged his fists.
"Qiao Feng didn't know that Shan seniors were coming, he missed the distance, and please atone for his sins!"
The bearded man didn't salute back, but glanced at Qiao Feng, then turned around and shouted behind him.
"Madame, please!"
Then, four big men carried a bridge and approached, the curtain of the flower bridge was lifted, and a woman in a plain dress and white skirt, Shi Shiran, walked out.
The person who came was Kang Min!
This Kang Min's eyes were slightly red, and he looked pitiful, but even if he was dressed plainly, that touch of style could not be stopped, and almost all the men present looked at Kang Min.
Kang Min slowly walked in front of Qiao Feng, with tears in his eyes, bowed to Qiao Feng, and did not forget to sigh with tears in his mouth.
"The surviving Ma Kang clan, meet the helper!"
That expression, that look, that voice, all reflect the sorrow of a poor woman who has just died her husband.
Qiao Feng was also panicked in his chest and wanted to help, but after thinking about it, he took a step back and said solemnly.
"Sister-in-law doesn't have to be polite!"
Kang Min's eyes were red, he slowly got up, and then walked towards everyone.
"My husband unfortunately passed away, thank you for the help and uncles for taking care of the funeral, and thank you for the surviving people!"
After speaking, he also bowed deeply to everyone present.
Everyone present was moved, and admired this woman very much, and if she had a wife like this, Ma Dayuan knew about it, and she could rest in peace!
At this moment, several people arrived again, two men and one woman.
The people who came were Zhao Qiansun and Tan Gong, Tan Po and his wife.
The three of them approached, and then smiled and saluted Qiao Feng.
Zhao Qiansun and Tan Gong Tan Po and his wife are all insiders of the incident at Yanmen Pass thirty years ago, which is naturally a part of Kang Minzhong.
Elder Xu saw that Master Shaolin Zhiguang had not yet come, but it was not appropriate to change again at this time, and he felt that the time was about the same, so he waved his hand at everyone, and then said an opening remark, and then gave up his position and asked Kang Min to come out to speak.
The real reason why Kang Min was able to trick Elder Xu into coming to the platform was to make Elder Xu believe that her husband Ma Dayuan was killed by Qiao Feng!
As for what reason to use to persuade Elder Xu, it was very simple, because there was a handwritten will of the previous gang leader, which explained the identity of Qiao Feng's Khitans, this ironclad fact, Elder Xu had to believe it.
Because Qiao Feng is a Khitan, but Ma Dayuan knows his identity, so Qiao Feng will harm Ma Dayuan, which perfectly explains the truth of Ma Dayuan's death!
After Elder Xu saw the will of the previous gang leader, he was also shocked, and believed Kang Min's words for seven or eight points, so he came to the platform in person!
Kang Min immediately played with his upper body, and before he could speak, tears had already come out.
Then she spoke slowly.
"My husband Ma Dayuan died violently, and when I was packing up his belongings, I found a letter sealed with fire paint, and it was written on the cover that if my husband died, I would give this letter to the elders of the beggar gang to open it, but all the elders were not in Luoyang at that time, so I took it upon myself to find Elder Xu and present this letter......
Kang Min cried and cried, and told the cause of the incident, and everyone present was solemn.
It seems that Ma Dayuan's death does have an inside story!
When Kang Min was almost finished, Elder Xu stood up and said.
"This matter really embarrass me!"
As he spoke, he took out Ma Dayuan's "suicide note" from his arms.
Elder Xu told everyone that he knew about the matter, and then asked Taishan Wuxiong to be a witness before opening the letter.
Immediately, the beard of the five heroes of Mount Tai stood up and said that this was indeed the case!
At this time, all the attention of everyone was on the letter in Elder Xu's hand.
With a compassionate expression, Elder Xu held up the letter in his hand and shouted loudly.
"The contents of this letter are really shocking, and they are related to the rise and fall and luck of our beggar gang! I can't say who wrote this letter now, but ......."
Before Elder Xu could continue, he heard a voice inspired by internal force coming from afar at the entrance of the apricot forest.
"Since it's inconvenient to say it, then don't say it, it's really sad that all the people who have fallen into the ground are still being played with like chess pieces!"
Before the person arrived, the sound had arrived!
