The sound of horses' hooves approached, but it was a beggar who helped the disciples gallop quickly.

"The leader of the gang, there is an important military situation in Western Xia."

As he spoke, he handed over a wax pill.

Qiao Feng's face was solemn, and he crushed the wax pill and took out the paper ball, but before he could open it, he was interrupted by a loud shout, "Qiao Feng, the wax pill is a major military event, you can't read it." ”

Everyone was shocked, but when they saw the person, the white beard fluttered, the quail clothes were patched, and it was an old beggar who was not young.

The two elders of Gong Chuan and Law Enforcement gave salutes together, "Elder Xu, what is the matter here?" ”

All the beggars were astonished.

Elder Xu's name, Xu Chongxiao, is eighty-seven years old, and he has a very high rank in the beggar gang, and even the former Wang gang leader has to be called "uncle".

Xu Chongxiao stepped forward, said "offended" in his mouth, then took the paper ball from Qiao Feng and pinched it in his hand, and said to everyone: "Ma Dayuan's widow, Mrs. Ma, is almost here, because there is a statement, the stakes are very high, please wait a little." ”

Qiao Feng was full of doubts, but because Xu Chongxiao was too senior, he couldn't speak.

At this time, a few more people walked in outside the forest, and Qiao Feng got up to greet him, "It turned out to be the senior of Shan Zhengdan, the iron-faced judge of Mount Tai, and Tan Gong and Tan Poxian in Chongxiao Cave of Taihang Mountain. ”

Iron-masked Judge Shan Zheng saluted, "Gang Master Qiao, we came to testify about one thing at the invitation of Elder Xu. ”

Qiao Feng's suspicion was even heavier, but he didn't know what the reason was at this time, and he couldn't deal with it.

"Gang Leader Joe, who is so bold to stick a torture knife in you."

Tan Po suddenly asked, Qiao Feng was not easy to explain, and said with a smile: "It was Qiao Feng who inserted it himself." ”

"It's just a joke." Tan Po looked disgusted, and slapped his palms on Qiao Feng's chest without saying anything, only to see four bloody swords burst, and the beggar knife on Qiao Feng's shoulders flew out upside down.

As soon as she pulled out the knife, Tan Gong stepped forward, holding a small box, and with a touch of his fingers, the blood on the wound stopped immediately, and it was abnormally fast, like magic.

Qiao Feng arched his hand, "Thank you two seniors." ”

At that moment another donkey broke into the woods, and the rider sat down on the donkey and came straight into the field.

Everyone greeted him, but this person ignored no one and came straight to Tan Po, "Xiaojuan, how are you doing lately?" As soon as I received your letter, I came to you. ”

Tan Po said bluntly: "Senior brother, Elder Xu knows that I belong to the same family as you, and he trusts me to invite you to come and witness one thing for their beggars." ”

"Xiaojuan, they can ...... whatever they like"

When Qiao Feng heard Tan Po's words, he ignored the entanglement between the crazy donkey rider and Tan Gong Tan Po, and turned to ask Xu Chongxiao in a low voice, "Elder Xu, what happened?" ”

Xu Chongxiao lowered his eyebrows and was silent, as if he hadn't heard.

At this time, some beggar disciples shouted a roll call: "Mrs. Ma has arrived!" ”

I saw a small sedan chair turned out of the forest, carried by two strong men, walking as fast as flying.

When it got closer, the sedan curtain was lifted, and the young woman with a vegetarian body walked out slowly, and Ying Ying bowed, "The surviving man Ma Men Wen, see the helper." ”

Qiao Feng also saluted: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, it's polite!" ”

When Xu Chongxiao saw Mrs. Ma, he no longer pretended to be deaf and dumb, "Mrs. Ma, you came just in time, everyone has arrived, so please explain the whole thing to everyone." ”

"Mrs. Sister-in-law, what is going on," Qiao Feng was confused at this time, and hoped that the matter could be resolved as soon as possible to quell the riots within the gang, "We beggars, everything must be said to others, and Mrs. Sister-in-law can say it directly." ”

Mrs. Ma bowed down and said, "Thank you, Helper." ”

Then Lianbu moved lightly, walked in a row, and faced the group of beggars, "The little woman recently packed up her late husband's relics and found a letter sealed with fire paint. It is written on the cover: If Yu dies, this letter will be incinerated immediately; If Yu dies unexpectedly, this letter will be immediately handed over to the elders of the gang to read together, and the matter is very important and must not be mistaken. ”

Mrs. Ma said this, there was silence in the apricot forest, and the needles could be heard, "The first husband wrote solemnly, the little woman knew that the matter was important, even if she went to ask the helper to present this suicide note, fortunately, the helper and the elders went to Jiangnan to avenge the late husband, and it was so bad that I couldn't see this letter." ”

When everyone heard that Mrs. Ma was "lucky" and "lost", they all noticed that her tone was different, and they unconsciously looked at Qiao Feng.

At this time, Qiao Feng had already heard that this matter was aimed at himself, and it was very related to the previous rebellion, and I am afraid it was a major scheme.

However, Qiao Feng was open-minded, and he listened calmly for fear of being framed.

Mrs. Ma continued: "The stakes are very high, and the little woman did not dare to delay, so she immediately went south to ask to see Elder Xu, presented a letter, and asked him to be the old man's master. ”

Xu Chongxiao coughed a few times, "Grievances and grievances make the old man really embarrassed." His voice was hoarse, a little desolate.

took out the letter and held it in his hand, "This is Ma Dayuan's suicide note." The handwriting on the envelope is indeed Ma Dayuan's, and when Mrs. Ma handed the letter to me, the fire paint was still sealed. I was worried that I had missed a major event, so I opened it before I waited for the elders to testify. When the letter was opened, the single brother of the iron-faced judge of Mount Tai was present and could testify. ”

The iron-masked judge Shan Zheng stood up, nodded and said, "Yes, I was a guest in Elder Xu's mansion and saw this letter opened by Elder Xu with my own eyes. ”

Seeing this, Qiao Feng asked, "Elder Xu, what did the letter say?" ”

"This letter is not a suicide note, nor is it written by Ma Dayuan, but a letter written by a respected person to Wang Jiantong, the former leader of the Beggar Gang, and it begins with: Brother Jianmu."

As soon as Elder Xu's words fell, everyone in the apricot forest was shocked.

No one thought that this letter would even involve the former Wang gang leader, this beggar gang conference, shocking things one after another, everyone was numb, I don't know what will happen.

Qiao Feng asked again: "Then dare to ask who wrote this letter?" ”

"I showed this letter to the single brother, and he recognized the man's handwriting at a glance." Xu Chongxiao replied to the question, obviously reluctant to mention the identity of the person who wrote the letter, "The old man tries to be careful, not to mention that this matter is related to the rise and fall of the gang, and it is also related to the reputation and life of a hero, so he and Mrs. Ma followed the single brother to Mount Tai to confirm the handwriting, and also invited Tan Gong and Tan Po, who had a deep friendship with the person who wrote the letter, to witness." ”

The two times he asked, he couldn't answer it positively, Qiao Feng had no choice but to let it be, "Elder Xu, what is the matter, please make it clear." ”

"Well, I really don't dare to say it." Xu Chongxiao pretended to lament, and turned to look at the donkey rider, "This Brother Zhao Qiansun and Zhao has personally experienced what happened back then, so please elaborate on it." ”

The donkey rider was suddenly named, a little dazed, and when he watched the play with his junior sister, he also felt confused when he saw his own house, "Xiaojuan, what are they talking about?" ”

Tan Po said: "Senior brother, Elder Xu is asking you about the incident of Yanmen Pass thirty years ago. ”

......When the donkey rider heard this, his face changed greatly on the spot, and his sweat was like a waterfall, pouring down. He raised his legs and ran out of the forest, not even caring for his donkey, shouting, "...... No, I haven't been to Yanmen Pass! …… It's none of my business! I haven't been! ……”

He had just passed through the beggars' pile, but he was facing a person, who came in a gray cloth robe, with broad ears and a solemn appearance.

"Amitabha."
