Chapter 17 The apricot grove proves its innocence

Full of wine and food, Zhao Mingyuan took everyone to the apricot forest to make an appointment in accordance with the agreement with the beggars in advance.

Along the way, I met many beggars one after another. It seems that the beggar gang already knew the identity of Zhao Mingyuan and his party, and they were unhindered and unimpeded, allowing them to go slowly in the carriage.

Until they followed the road and saw an apricot forest in the distance.

Among them, a group of ragged Hanako was scattered in the forest, making way for a clearing in the middle.

There seemed to be several people in the clearing in the middle, but it was only blocked by trees, so it was not easy to see clearly.

Before they could get closer, their carriage was stopped by the beggars.

Helpless, Zhao Mingyuan and his entourage had to get out of the carriage.

At this time, it seemed that they had received the news of their arrival, and several people came out of the forest to greet them.

Ah Zhu next to him whispered: "The person who took the lead is the helmsman of the beggar gang who made an appointment with us before. ”

This Jiang helmsman bowed and said, "But Gusu Murong is in front of you?" ”

Ah Zhu replied first: "Yes, it is the Gusu Murong clan that I made an appointment with you. ”

Seeing that the current Zhao Mingyuan did not speak, Jiang Duo's face was a little unhappy, but he did not attack, but said, "Our Qiao Gang Master is waiting for Murong Gongzi in the forest. Please! ”

As he spoke, Master Jiang made a gesture of please, and then turned his head to lead the way. The men behind him also retreated to the sides and moved out of the way.

It turned out that they regarded Zhao Mingyuan as Murong Fu, no wonder they were so polite.

However, it is inevitable that they will have this doubt.

Zhao Mingyuan rarely appears in the rivers and lakes, while Murong Fu has also been in the Liao State most of the time in recent years, and he rarely appears in the Central Plains.

Therefore, it is normal for the beggars to not recognize it.

In addition, they also admitted that they were from the Gusu Murong clan, and even Ah Zhu deliberately misled just now, and it was normal for the beggars to have this misunderstanding.

After all, except for Zhao Mingyuan, all of them were women, so they couldn't guess that Murong Fu was a woman.

Zhao Mengyuan smiled secretly in his heart, he didn't expect that he would become a stand-in. Glancing at Azhu, he saw that she was looking at herself with pleading eyes, obviously hoping that she would not expose it.

Zhao Mingyuan thought to himself, it's okay to have this identity. lest after entering, as a nameless person in the rivers and lakes, he may be looked down upon by a group of people called Huazi.

After all, who has heard of his fame if he doesn't make a move? Who knew how powerful he Zhao Mingyuan was?

And Murong Fu is different. After all, the names of North Qiao Feng and South Murong shouted loudly, and the reputations of the two were bound.

How powerful Bei Qiao Feng is, these beggar disciples know it very well.

Qiao Feng's things one by one, one by one, no one knows better than them.

And Murong Fu, who can be as famous as Qiao Feng, his status has naturally been raised a lot, and no one dares to despise him.

Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan was ready to acquiesce first. After that, after making a move, after a few moves, and then revealing the identity, it will naturally be different.

Zhao Mingyuan didn't want to go through any farce of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan did not deny it, and stepped into this apricot forest under their leadership.

When he came to the apricot forest, Zhao Mingyuan ignored the beggar disciples in the circle, and looked directly at a few people in the clearing in the forest, and the first one was the big man he had seen in the Songhe Tower.

Sure enough, he was Qiao Feng.

Seeing Zhao Mingyuan, Qiao Feng also showed an expression on his face. Obviously, he also mistakenly thought that Zhao Mingyuan was Murong Fu.

In fact, Murong Fu is nearly thirty years old, and this news naturally can't be hidden from the beggars.

And Zhao Mingyuan looks like he is just in his twenties, so the difference is obvious.

Therefore, it should not be hidden.

However, because of the internal strength and true qi, many people in the martial arts do not look very old.

What's more, men in their twenties and thirties have not changed much in appearance, but they appear more mature.

And although Zhao Mingyuan's appearance does look like he is in his twenties, so many experiences naturally make his temperament look quite mature. Therefore, he played without any sense of disobedience, and no one raised questions.

Qiao Feng stepped forward to welcome him: "Murong Gongzi came to my beggar gang to divide the rudder, and this move made our gang shine. Qiao Mou is really rude to miss the distance, and he still looks at Murong Gongzi Haihan. ”

Although Zhao Mingyuan acquiesced, he was unwilling to act in the name of Murong Fu.

There was a kind of thing they did to admit that it was their business, but I didn't admit it, so I didn't lie to them.

This is also self-deception.

In short, Zhao Mingyuan just casually exchanged a few words, and did not mention anything in the name of Gusu Murong.

Soon, they got to the point.

Qiao Feng said: "My beggar gang Ma Dayuan Ma deputy gang leader, died not long ago under his famous stunt 'Throat Locking Grabber'.

Gusu Murong's name of 'giving back to his body with his way' is known all over the world.

I don't know what Murong Gongzi has to say about this 'throat locking hand'? ”

Zhao Mingyuan said: "This 'throat locking hand' is actually just a family heirloom exercise of the Ma family.

The deputy gang leader of your faction Ma can use this family heirloom stunt to become famous all over the world, and he must have practiced it perfectly.

It's just that the traces of this 'choke gripper' after killing are different from the traces of ordinary people being strangled, and ordinary people may not be able to distinguish them.

Gang Leader Qiao confirmed that the deputy gang leader of your faction Ma really died under this stunt? ”

Without waiting for Qiao Feng to speak, one of the people next to him replied first: "Of course I confirm it."

The throat of the deputy gang leader of the horse is shattered, which is indeed a trace of the 'throat locking hand'.

This 'throat gripper' is a family kung fu of the Ma family, and no one can use it except for the children of the Ma family.

But now, Deputy Ma's gang leader is dead under the 'choke locker'.

If it weren't for your Gusu Murong clan's hand, who else would it be?

surnamed Murong, you don't dare to admit the good things you have done.

It's really against Nan Murong's reputation! ”

Zhao Mingyuan said: "Since everyone knows the phrase 'the way of the other, give back to the other'.

Then I'll be straight to the point.

The Ma family's 'throat gripper' kung fu, I do know. ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene was in an uproar.

Although Ma Dayuan died under the "choke lock", everyone immediately thought of Gusu Murong's sentence "Give back to the other with the way of the other".

After all, except for the Gusu Murong family, it is difficult for anyone else to use this stunt to hurt people.

But he didn't expect that now, this person would dare to admit it in front of everyone in the beggar gang.

For a time, the beggars were furious, and the shouts of killing continued.

Qiao Feng was a little strange, waved his hand to stop the commotion of everyone, and said solemnly to Zhao Mingyuan: "Murong Gongzi has admitted it, this matter is your hand?" ”

Zhao Mingyuan shook his head and said, "Naturally not." I have no grievances with this deputy gang leader, why should I kill him? ”

"Dare to quibble?"

"Kill him!"

Ignoring the uproar of everyone, Zhao Mingyuan continued: "I said that I would be this 'choke wrestler', but I was just saying that I knew the details of this 'choke wrestler', and I could explain it to everyone." Perhaps, this can help you catch the real murderer. ”

Zhao Mingyuan continued: "If you are familiar with the 'throat gripper', then you can know. In fact, although the martial art of 'throat locking and grappling' is also extinct. But it's just a quick and ruthless shot, and he's good at locking his throat and taking people's lives with one move, which is not a first-class martial art. ”

Without waiting for everyone to oppose in an uproar, he heard Zhao Mingyuan continue: "It's far from the beggar gang's eighteen palms of dragon descent and dog beating sticks. ”

When they heard this, the people did not say anything more. After all, no one can be cheeky enough to say that the Ma family's 'throat locking grappler' dares to compare with these two kinds of kung fu.

In this way, it is not an exaggeration for Zhao Mingyuan to say that this 'throat locking hand' is a second-rate martial art.

But I heard Zhao Mingyuan continue: "The traces left by this 'throat locking hand' after killing are that the throat bone was crushed and suffocated to death. This is the most visible trace it has left behind, are you right or not? ”

Many people who were familiar with Ma Dayuan couldn't help but nodded, and the Tao was indeed the case.

Zhao Mingyuan continued: "Then since you know this, is it easy to have a fake scene?" Just crush the throat and you're good to go. In fact, it's not just the 'choke gripper' that can be done, isn't it? ”

When he landed, some people in the beggar gang were not convinced, and said: "You are messing around, with the martial arts of the deputy gang leader of Ma, how many people can defeat him in the rivers and lakes?" And the only scar on his body was caused by this trick, and the only one who can do this is naturally you, Murong Fu! ”

Zhao Mingyuan nodded and said, "Not bad." If it is a head-on enemy and leaves no other traces, there are really not many people who can do it. But what if Deputy Gang Leader Ma first fell for the plot? ”

Qiao Feng changed color and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Although they asked so, everyone had already guessed the unfinished meaning of Zhao Mingyuan's words.

After all, if Ma Dayuan was stunned by the conspiracy first, then a random third-rate master would be enough to crush Ma Dayuan's throat, and it would not be difficult to forge such a trace of death.

However, this means that it is likely that the person who killed Ma Dayuan was someone inside the beggar gang.

Zhao Mingyuan continued: "I don't know if anyone has seen the corpse of the deputy gang leader of your gang?" ”

Qiao Feng replied awkwardly, "No." ”

Not really.

After all, when everyone saw the traces on Ma Dayuan's body, they all thought it was Murong's comeback hand, so they didn't check it carefully.

Zhao Mingyuan said: "Actually, another point is that everyone knows that anyone's fingerprint is unique.

And the person who did it crushed the throat bone of the deputy gang leader of the horse with force, which would inevitably leave fingerprints on it.

This is the strongest evidence of this.

If you don't believe me, Gang Master Qiao can record my fingerprints and go back for an autopsy.

If it is really the same, I am willing to cut myself to thank the world! ”

This time, the beggars were really embarrassed.

It's no secret that everyone's fingerprints are different, and the ancients have known it for a long time.

Probably any quick catcher can easily think of this.

But at this point, no one in such a big beggar gang raised questions, and they really practiced martial arts in their minds.
