After a good birthday banquet, someone was poisoned, and Xing Zongliang and Yu Siren quickly led their troops to seal the gate when they saw this. Xing Zongliang returned from the barracks and brought more than ten personal soldiers, but he didn't want to use them here.

Seeing that the situation was beginning to be chaotic, Shangguan Lu hurriedly spoke to reassure: "Everyone! Rest easy, everybody. ”

Shangguan Law deserves to be a famous man in the rivers and lakes, and as soon as he said it, everyone instantly quieted down.

The people of the Tang Sect were verbally condemned by the people in the rivers and lakes, and they did not reply to refute it, but they were full of confidence and not timid when they stood in this compound.

Shangguan Lu said loudly: "This matter is too coincidental, and the old man thinks that it cannot be easily concluded that it is the Tang Sect's doing. ”

Ran Xingzhou and Liu Qingyuan had already rushed over to check Zhang Guotou's injuries, and several horse gangs had surrounded them, and the two stepped forward, only to see Zhang Guotou lying on his back on the ground, foaming at the mouth, rolling his eyes, and twitching all over.

Liu Qingyuan stepped forward and put one hand on Zhang Guotou's wrist, and after a while, he said: "The pulse is disordered, the poison has attacked the heart, and it is difficult to save!" ”

"Today's matter is inescapable of the Tang Sect, we have been working for the Absolute Sword Sect for many years, and the Lord of the Ran Sect will definitely ask for an explanation for Zhang Guotou!" A lot of people came to the Ma Gang today, and a few pot heads, you said a word, and they decided that it was the Tang Men who poisoned them, and more than a dozen Ma Gang men surrounded the Tang Men and his party.

The good birthday banquet has become what it is now, even though Ran Xingzhou is depressed in his chest, he can only pretend to be calm and maintain the overall situation.

Ran Xingzhou's face was serious, and he said loudly: "Everyone, I don't want such a thing to happen to the old man's birthday banquet, I can't compensate you first, but please be at ease, the old man will find out about this matter today and give you an explanation." ”

"Master of the door, I have something to say below." A man dressed in a short fight got up and said.

When everyone saw it, it was Kong Bai, the leader of the horse gang, who was poisoned to death by his own brother today, how could he watch from the wall?

"Leader Kong, please have something to say." Seeing that it was an old friend who had cooperated for more than ten years, Ran Xingzhou said in a slightly soothing tone.

"Zhang Guotou died tragically today, I don't know if you still have the impression of this death, the five horse gang brothers who followed Liu Shaoxia and were killed together were like this!" This Kong Bai is just over fifty this year, with a strong body and powerful martial arts, although his martial arts are only ranked in the middle of the Fengyun List, but he also has a little fame in the rivers and lakes.

Liu Qingyuan said: "Yes, I have carefully checked just now, and Zhang Guotou's death is indeed the same as those Ma Gang brothers six years ago. ”

"Since the Tang Sect specially came to the door to clarify the events of the year, can you let me wait for a search." Kong Bai looked at Tang Guanjie and the others and said unhurriedly.

Tang Guanjie was furious: "You said to check, check? What do you think of my Tang Gate?! ”

Tang San was about to speak, but he only coughed lightly twice.

"Fourth uncle, these people deceive people too much! If there is suspicion, everyone present is suspicious! Why only for us?! Tang Guanjie turned his head to Tang Sanyi and said.

Tang Sanyi cleared his throat, stepped forward and said: "It seems that fellow martial arts practitioners still have quite a prejudice against my Tang Sect, so if I don't fulfill your wishes today, I'm afraid that I won't be able to get out of this compound with these dozen people." ”

"Please forgive Fourth Master Tang!" Although Kong Bai's words were polite, he didn't mean anything polite at all.

"It doesn't matter." Tang Sanyi grabbed Tang Guanjie and continued: "The disciples of the Tang Sect listened to the order and took out the objects they carried with them, so that all the martial arts colleagues could pass by!" ”

"Fourth Master Tang, let me wait to search for it, who knows if your disciples will hide something." Kong Bai said disdainfully.

When Tang Guanjie heard this, he was about to come forward to argue, but Ran Xingzhou preemptively said: "Thanks to the reasonableness of Tang Shaomen Master and Tang Siye, then the old man will take the liberty of offending, but for the sake of safety, the old man thinks that it is better for the Qingcheng faction to do the body search, what do you think?" ”

In order to avoid another incident, Ran Xingzhou recommended Shangguan Law to reconcile in the middle, which was quite thorough, but everyone present had already decided that Tang Men had poisoned him, and Tang Sanyi's posture of seeking perfection was just to capture the old and hide people's eyes and ears and delay time.

Shangguan Lu is known as a gentleman of Qingsong, and at this time, he took on the important task of searching for the people of the Tang Sect.

Liao Yuheng and other Qingcheng disciples stepped forward, and they wanted to search the Tang Sect, but Tang Guanjie was unruly and extremely unconvinced, Tang San took the initiative to step forward and stretch out his arms to be searched, and the rest of the Tang Sect disciples hesitated for a moment, and also raised their arms to cooperate, and after a while, they found a lot of bottles and cans, but after careful inspection by Shangguan Law, they were the most common poisons in the Tang Sect, and the toxicity was not fatal.

Tang Guanjie snorted lightly, and was about to open his mouth to ridicule, but saw Liao Yuheng's face change greatly.

Liao Yuheng restrained a Tang Sect disciple, threw an extremely small black porcelain bottle to Shangguan Lu, and said, "This person took advantage of my unpreparedness to actually hold this medicine bottle in his mouth. ”

The Tang Sect disciple struggled hard, but was captured to death by Liao Yuheng.

Tang Sanyi's face flashed with panic, and Tang Guanjie hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look at the black porcelain bottle, but was blocked by Shangguan Lu with a slight wave of his hand.

Shangguan Lu showed the black medicine bottle to everyone and said: "You have all witnessed the whole process with your own eyes, this black porcelain bottle was found from this Tang Sect disciple, whether Zhang Guotou died because of this, you will know if you try it." ”

"Uncle Shi, the kid is looking for a wild dog to test the medicine." Ran Yunhan has endured it since he was a young man, and now that the evidence is conclusive, he volunteered.

"Okay, there's a nephew." Shangguan Lu and Ran Yunhan spoke in such an empty space, and the disciples of the Absolute Sword Sect and many people from the rivers and lakes stepped forward and surrounded the Tang Gate together with the men of the Ma Gang.

Tang Guanjie was no longer arrogant at this time, and said to Tang Sanyi in a low voice: "Fourth uncle, how is this good?" How could there be such a thing of unknown origin on Gengd? ”

"Don't worry, Tang Gengde has been in my Tang Sect for more than ten years, and he has always been loyal, and the things in that black bottle may not be poison." Although Tang Sanyi said this in his mouth, he also had no bottom in his heart.

Not long after, Ran Yunhan brought a yellow dog, looking at the appearance, which family should have bought it from.

Shangguan Lu and the others were about to use this innocent yellow dog to test the medicine, but they heard a person in the corner say: "Why are you in a hurry, why are you so sure that the contents of this bottle are poison?" Why don't you ask what is in this bottle first, and give people a chance to explain. ”

Everyone followed the prestige, but it was a down-and-out man with a shabby cloak and a hood full of stubble.

"Who are you? Do you have a part to say here?! Kong Bai saw that Xu Yihang was dressed in shabby clothes, and he was expected to be a nobody, so he didn't take a second look at it, and asked contemptuously.

"In Xia Xu Yihang, as for whether he has the qualifications to speak, it is not the turn of Leader Kong to point fingers here." How could Xu Yihang get used to other people's faults, and went back directly.

"You?!" Kong Bai was slightly angry when he heard this, and he turned around and pointed at Xu Yihang and was about to get angry.

"Well, I really should ask first." Shangguan Lu spoke in time, and Kong Bai had to give up for the time being.

Shangguan Lu looked at Xu Yihang, as if he recognized it and didn't seem to recognize it.

"Tang Sanyi, you disciple of the Tang Sect, let you ask." Shangguan Lu said.

"Thank you, Brother Shangguan." Tang Sanyi actually hugged his fists and saluted, and said politely.

"Heide! Do you have anything to say about this black porcelain vase? Tang San asked the disciple.

"Fourth, fourth master, the disciple doesn't know." The disciple named Tang Gengde said with a panicked expression.

"I don't know? Then why is this on you? Why do you want to swallow it?! Tang Sanyi thought badly, and Bacheng was framed again.

"The disciple really doesn't know why this thing is on me, and I don't know what is in this bottle, when Senior Brother Liao searched, the disciple suddenly found that there was more of this object in his arms, and he was worried that this thing of unknown origin would cause trouble for my Tang Sect, so he hid it in his mouth." Tang Gengde's words are sincere, but they don't seem to be false.

"How can such a question come up with a reason, who will admit that this murderous poison is their own, in the following opinion, directly try the medicine! If the things in this bottle are not the poison that poisoned Zhang Guotou, we will make amends to you Tangmen, if so, then blame the heroes present for the martial arts! Kong Baiyi said solemnly, and everyone in the rivers and lakes here echoed it when they heard it.

"Leader Kong is reasonable, Brother Shangguan, let's try the medicine." Seeing the anger of the crowd, Ran Xingzhou hurriedly spoke to appease.

"Wait." Xu Yihang forked again.

"What do you want?! Three times and twice to stop it! Kong Bai was furious and shouted.

"It's just that I can't see innocent creatures suffering for others and cherishing the lives of this dog." Xu Yihang replied leisurely.

"Humph! And who's going to try what's in this bottle?! Could it be that Your Excellency is willing to try the medicine for yourself? Kong Bai asked.

"I don't dare to try this thing of unknown origin, but I have a proposal below, since this pot is poisoned in the dish, why not let this dog try the dish first?" Xu Yihang was still not annoyed, and said slowly.

Xu Yihang was sure that there was no poison in this dish, and since he entered the courtyard, he carefully looked at the guests in this courtyard, and the pot head looked uneasy since he entered the courtyard, and he was also restless when talking to others, and he even pretended to eat vegetables, and only moved the chopsticks once to eat a bite, how could he be poisoned by such a coincidence, Zhang Guotou's poisoning must have been calculated by someone, the purpose, is it to prevent the Absolute Sword Gate and the Tang Gate from getting back together.

"This?" Kong Bai was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect this down-and-out man to get to the point, it was true that Zhang Guotou was poisoned, but no one had confirmed whether there was poison in this dish.

Xu Yihang didn't wait for Kong Bai to refute, and continued: "Since you are all convinced that Zhang Guotou was poisoned by this food, it is not wrong to use this dog to try the dish first, right?" Today, the lord of the Ran Sect warmly entertained us and others, and we can't let the lord of the Ran Sect inexplicably fall into the infamy of poor hospitality, what if this dish is not poisonous? ”

Everyone in the Absolute Sword Gate suddenly had a good impression of this down-and-out man.

Shangguan Lu glanced at Xu Yihang a few more times, and secretly thought to himself: "When did such a character come out of the rivers and lakes of Shudi?" ”

Xing Zongliang, who was guarding the gate, smiled and said secretly: "My brother is here, how can I let Xiao Xiaohu come?" ”

Yu Siren on the side looked at Xu Yihang, and then at Xing Zongliang, and always felt that something was wrong, this down-and-out man named Xu Yihang, although he couldn't look carefully under the hood, but this voice was so familiar!
