Qingzhou, Luoshui City.

Today is a rare good weather, the sun is shining, and the chill since the beginning of winter has been dispelled a little. Lying on the wisteria chair in the backyard, the old Bai gang leader could feel that the old injuries and joints on his body seemed to be healed, and there was no longer the terrible moaning that could almost be heard with his ears in the past.

But he was still in a bad mood. In fact, he has not been in a good mood at all in the past few months. He could only lie and sit, watching how the huge Luoshui Gang collapsed and collapsed step by step, but he did not have the slightest ability to remedy and redeem it. The most elite players in the gang and the three protectors of the Dharma are all dead, people's hearts are shattered, the trees are scattered, and other gangs that have long been eyeing each other have rushed up, coercing and luring to seize by force, and the outer territory has been occupied within a month. If it weren't for the early request for the state shepherd's guarantee and the paperwork, even the core industries and land would not have been saved.

This is the country that he and countless brothers have spent half their lives fighting for, but now they can only watch it gradually decay, and then be bitten by someone, this torture makes him seem to be dozens of years old in just two or three months, and the whole person has become a skinny living skeleton, only the attachment and hatred in the chest are still burning vigorously.

He remembered very well that the day this qiē started was also so sunny, so now when he saw such a sun, he couldn't help but feel disgust, and there was a faint trace of fear in his heart.

"Helper, there are guests from the Central Plains Righteous Dao Alliance visiting. Taking the lead is Nangong Tong, the eighth young master of the Nangong family, and He Ji'er, the daughter of He Tianshi, the head of the Maoshan faction. An old incense master in the gang went to the backyard to report it.

It's not that the news is so important. He had to ask the incense master to report it in person, but at this time, there were basically only these old people who had followed him for many years who remained in the gang. Lost most of the elite stalwarts manpower. has lost the cohesion of the gang, the ordinary lower-level gangs have already run away, and other capable backbones have also been poached by other gangs.

"Righteous Path Alliance?" the old Bai gang leader hesitated for a moment before he found out the news of this guest from his somewhat stagnant mind. It seems to be something made by a child of a family that has begun to appear in Xuzhou, Yangzhou and other places in recent years. It is true that the Luoshui Gang is compared to the Nangong family. The Maoshan faction of these behemoths is just an inconspicuous local gang, but this Qingzhou is not their territory. "What are they coming for?"

"Also here are Lord Liu, the state pastor, the master of the Wu Hall of the Shenji Hall, the Puji Zen Master of the Little Putuo Temple, and the heads of the various factions who were invited to testify before, they are all in the front hall, and it seems that the matter of the murderers who have offered a reward has come to an end. ”

"What? really?" the old white gang leader jumped up with a strength and spirit that was completely inconsistent with his old and thin body.

"But the two who were only wanted and put on the bounty were with them. ”

"Was it captured alive? That's great. The old Bai gang leader was already so thin that his face was as thin as a living skeleton and he smiled, and the light in his eyes was like two ghost fires that devoured people. He didn't even delve into the strange look on the old incense master's face. He turned and walked out quickly.

When he finally saw the two figures that had appeared in front of him all the time in the past few months in the front hall, the old Bai gang leader trembled uncontrollably. He rushed a few steps forward, almost jumping up and biting down on a piece of flesh from the man in front of him, but after years of reason, he felt that something was wrong—the man and the woman were not bound, or showed no signs of restraint at all, just like the other visiting guests. He sat on a chair in the hall with a big grin.

Seeing him, the beautiful girl in white opened her eyes curiously and looked him up and down, and the wild Taoist priest surnamed Xia actually smiled embarrassedly, as if he saw an old acquaintance who owed dozens of taels of silver.

The old Bai gang leader stood still, staring at the two faces that had been deeply seared in his mind. The two ghost fires in his eyes seemed to be able to burn out directly. However, he knew that the answer to this question was not really in these two people, and he slowly turned his gaze to the others.

The hall was already full. Basically, the heads of the various factions in Qingzhou who he invited to make a notarization that day are now quietly summoned here. Even though most of his sanity had been obscured by anger, the old Bai gang leader instinctively felt a very unnatural pressure.

"Old White Gang Leader. A middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar stood up and stretched out his hand to the old Bai gang leader to introduce the other two young people beside him. "This is the Nangong Tongzi of the Nangong family, as well as the girl He Ji'er of the Maoshan faction. I am accompanying them today for the reward you have offered. ”

"There's Lord Lao Liu. No matter how angry and suspicious the old Bai gang leader had in his heart, he could only suppress it first and bow to the middle-aged man. This is the Qingzhou Governor Liu Junfeng whom he invited as a notary arbitrator. The power of his Luoshui Gang is still quite big in Qingzhou, but after all, it is only a Jianghu Gang, if it weren't for the murder in Luoshui City, he would not be qualified to alarm this pastor of Yizhou.

And this Lord Liu is a Confucian master, upright and upright - is really upright and upright, not like most people who read the self-righteousness, self-deception and self-deception, Bai Lao's gang leader has decades of experience in the rivers and lakes, and his vision is old enough and deep enough, for the kind of reading and reading stupid at a glance, he can see through it at a glance, and he can also see what kind of person this Lord Liu Junfeng is, so he will ask him to protect himself, and now he can only listen to what others say.

Then the two young men and women beside him, just one glance, the old Bai gang leader knew that the people in the room were brought by these two people. These two people are very young, very well-dressed, and their seemingly inconspicuous clothes reveal grace and nobility everywhere, clearly facing the elders of the rivers and lakes who are sitting in the middle of the country, but they seem to be confident in their expressions, and they clearly show the prestige of the Maoshan faction and the Nangong family.

The young woman named He Ji'er stood up first. In a loud and crisp voice, he said, "Old Bai Gang Leader." We had already heard about the incident in Luoshui City a few months ago, and we had also seen the bounty wanted by the Bai Lao Gang Leader. We deeply regret the plight of Gongzi and the heroes in your gang. But as for the truth of this matter, Bai Lao's gang leader is probably a little misunderstood. ”

"Misunderstanding?" "Old Bai Gang Leader seemed to have heard this word for the first time in his life.

"Yes, misunderstanding. We are here today to explain to the old white gang leader. First of all, this Qingfeng Dao chief was born in our Maoshan faction under the Yangzhou Caiyun Temple"

The confidence and undoubted taste in the tone of the woman's voice named He Ji'er made the old Bai gang leader's heart begin to sink gradually, and he hardly had to listen to it anymore to know what was going to happen next.

That's it. It was an unnecessary misunderstanding. The real murderer, the demon spirit that killed Ling Gongzi and several people in Luoshui City, has actually been killed by Miss Mingyue. ”

"You say, it's just a misunderstanding?" finished listening to He Xi'er's story. The old Bai gang leader only felt that he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world, and he couldn't laugh at all.

"It turns out that the truth is actually like this" But the others didn't seem to think it was a joke, and the owner of the Hushan Gate who was sitting took the lead in patting the armrest of the chair and sighed loudly. "It's a twist and turn. This Qingfeng Dao Leader is worthy of being a tall foot in Maoshan Mountain, and he can still advance and retreat in such a chaotic situation, without messing around, so that this Mingyue girl can be rescued. ”

"It's a pity that the Bai Shao gang leader still died at the hands of that demon. And died so miserably. It's no wonder that the old Dharma protectors who rushed there were so angry that they actually regarded the Mingyue girl who was the demon soul as a murderer," the third master of the Li family frowned and stroked his beard and sighed. But no matter how you look at it, there is no pity in his face, and there is a faint sense of joy, most of the several waterway trade routes under the control of the Luoshui Gang have fallen into their Li family, and it is no wonder that several masters of the Li family have been a little refreshed in the past few months.

The others were either talking to each other, or nodding their heads as if they were the same. There are also a few who are quiet, and seem to basically accept this misunderstanding. Regardless of whether it is because of the relationship between the Nangong family and the Maoshan faction, at least there are basically no loopholes in the truth of this statement.

Only the old white gang leader's face was gloomy like a dead man. Because only he knows, the two old brothers Pei Protector and Zeng Protector will definitely not be the kind of reckless man who rushes forward without knowing the situation, and the 'old acquaintance' before said it to him very clearly. It's not that the others can't run, it's that the killer didn't even think about asking them to run. If it is a misunderstanding, will it be misunderstood to this extent?

A more important point. Although the girl in white was also looking at him, there was no impurity between her clear and agile eyes, like a baby's eyes, and she really didn't look like a murderer who would skin people alive, but a gloomy and deep hatred that came from the deepest part of her heart was telling him that the person in front of him was indeed the murderer of his son. Women aren't the only ones who trust their instincts. When a person's feelings are strong and simple to the extreme, they can naturally feel something unusual.

"Yes, it was just a misunderstanding. The young man named Nangong Tong also nodded, his voice soft, but the meaning contained in the inner species was equally irrefutable. "If it weren't for Hu Qian of the Divine Machine Hall who was a ghost from it, this misunderstanding would have been clear a long time ago, and the Pure Land Zen Temple's Fury Extinguishing Master would not have fallen. The main hall of the Divine Machine Hall has also known about this matter, and the hall master Wu has also received a notice from the main hall. After going out from here, he will no longer be the hall master in charge of the Qingzhou rudder. ”

Old Bai glanced at Hall Master Wu who was standing in the corner of the hall, he was the only one who didn't sit down. Because he himself knew that he was no longer qualified to sit down. The armor that he had been wearing all the year round had been stripped off, his head was covered with cold sweat, his face was full of frustration and despair, his eyes were so empty that he wouldn't know if someone had gouged out his eyeballs immediately, and he looked like a middle-aged man who had just died and lost all his family on the gambling table.

Just by peeling off the armor of this waste, do you want to easily understand this 'misunderstanding'? The old Bai gang leader asked in a somewhat trembling voice: "Why do you say that this is a misunderstanding? Is there any real evidence?"

"Is this really evidence, it is indeed not" He Xi'er smiled faintly. "But what real evidence does the old Bai gang leader have to prove that the Qingfeng Dao Leader and the Mingyue Girl are the murderers? This Qingfeng Dao Leader is not only an outstanding talent of the younger generation of our Maoshan Sect. He also had a deep relationship with the fourth young master of Tang Jiabao, and the True Martial Sect was empty. The two Dao Masters of Xuanxu also praised him, and the old man Xu Zhengzhou of the Diancang Sect knew about it not long ago, and it was also "

"Miss Ho. What we are talking about now is what the truth is. What friends and elders does this Qingfeng Dao Chief have, they have nothing to do with this matter. Liu Junfeng, who was on the side, suddenly interrupted He Xi'er's words. His voice was not loud, nor did it contain the slightest majesty or tone, just a warm and soft voice, but it made people feel extremely powerful.

"That's what Lord Liu said. He Xi'er's face flashed with a hint of embarrassment. Immediately it was restored as before. "It's just that now, when everyone can't come up with real evidence, it's not unhelpful to talk about these side stories. For example, the four masters of Tang Chengcheng of Tangjiabao in Shuzhou are heroic and straightforward, and they are very famous heroes among our young generation. If the head of the Qingfeng Dao is a treacherous person who forgets his righteousness. And even if she doesn't care about the Qingfeng Dao Master, even if it is the Buddhist mana of the Mingyue Girl, she has also been personally recognized by the Ten Directions Monks of the Pure Land Zen Monastery and the Aoki Zen Master of the Songshan Annex, Yuzhou, both Buddhist monks, they all show that the Moon Girl is by no means an innocent person who kills innocents. ”

"Not bad, indeed. The middle-aged monk on the side nodded when he heard this. That was the Puji Zen Master of the Little Putuo Temple, the presiding officer of the Pure Land Zen Monastery in Qingzhou's largest one-branch temple. This time, I also deliberately came with He Ji'er and them. "The poor monk also received a letter from Senior Brother Aoki, and what Miss He said was indeed true. Moreover, the poor monk himself saw that this bright moon girl also had a deep cultivation of Buddhism, and she would never be a traitorous person who killed innocents indiscriminately. ”

Liu Junfeng couldn't help but nod when he heard this. He also has a very deep realm of Confucian Qi cultivation Kung Fu, and the Confucian kung fu of looking at God from the eyes and people from the qi will only be deeper and more comprehensive than those Jianghu people who purely rely on their own experience and brains. If the Qingfeng Dao Commander still has a bit of oily market atmosphere, it still makes him a little unimpressed. The bright moon girl's eyes revealed a clearness.

And the rest of the audience only nodded their heads one after another, deeply agreed. Indeed, if even the Pure Land Zen Temple itself admits that this Mingyue girl cannot be the murderer, from a certain point of view, this is already very weighty evidence.

"It's just that this is dozens of lives after all, and it also involves the ownership of the huge foundation of the Luoshui Gang, and it really can't be concluded without real evidence. What the truth is, we have to postpone it. The suspicions of Qingfeng Dao Chang and Mingyue Girl cannot be completely cleared yet, I will order to continue to investigate this matter, and if there is any progress, I will invite the two of you to come and interrogate at any time" Liu Junfeng thought about it, and he could only make a compromise for the time being, and said to everyone in the hall. "But Old Bai Gang Leader, the bounty you made against the two of them must also be withdrawn. After all, you really don't have real evidence to confirm that they are indeed the murderers, at most you can only change the reward to verify the truth of the day and find out the conclusive evidence. So, what do you think?"

"I admire the fairness and impartiality of my lordship. Li Sanye stood up and hugged his fists first.

"Hey, let's see this matter should be over, such a beautiful girl, and a disciple of Buddhism, how can she be the most murderous murderer?" However, this is the decision of the state pastor after all, and it is inconvenient to say more. "However, Lord Liu's handling is also extremely fair, there is nothing wrong with it, just wait for who to find the evidence of Na Lao in the future. ”

He Xi'er and Nangong Tong glanced at each other, and could only get up and clench their fists: "It's all up to Lord Liu to deal with." ”

After being silent for a long time, the old Bai gang leader also nodded, and slowly grinded out a dry word with his throat: "Okay"

What's so bad? The method that Lord Governor said can be regarded as taking very good care of him. In the official face, Liu Junfeng can make such a judgment is extremely fair. But as a person in the rivers and lakes, the old Bai gang leader knew that the matter had essentially ended here, and what He Xi'er said just now was certainly a bit of a show-off, demonstration, but in essence, it was also a kind of statement, behind this wild Taoist priest surnamed Xia was not only their Maoshan faction, the support of the Nangong family, but also Tangjiabao. The shadow of the True Martial Sect. And behind the woman named Mingyue is the Pure Land Zen Temple.

No matter which one of these is, they are all behemoths that the Luoshui Gang can't compare to at all. Just look at the ugliness of those people here to understand that even if you can really come up with evidence, no one will necessarily believe it. The most powerful evidence on the rivers and lakes is fists and forces, just like when these two people were unknown before, he could offer a reward for wanted without any evidence.

Sitting on the cold chair, the old Bai gang leader only felt that his whole body was empty and he couldn't do anything at all, and he was extremely uncomfortable. When did everyone in the hall leave? I didn't notice anything I said.

I don't know how long it took, but he slowly straightened up. The already old body seemed to be even more decayed, and there was a dead silence without vitality from the inside out, and the two ghost fires in the eyes were like candles in the wind, as if they would be extinguished at any time. But deeper into the fading flames, there seemed to be an ominous, darker aura that was spreading outward.

###

"Then Liu Junfeng really reads to death, does he really think that he is a great shepherd in this state? If his Confucian gentleman's style is useful. Will this Qingzhou still be like this, and there will be a mess like this?"

In the best set of rooms in the largest inn in Luoshui City, He Xi'er slapped the table a little depressed. Today's trip to the Luoshui Gang is quite far from the result she expected, compared to the rich and prosperous Central Plains and the south, this Qingzhou is just a remote and bitter cold place, and compared to the profound Nangong family and the Maoshan faction, the Luoshui Gang is just a small reckless gang. But they came all the way but couldn't make it all, and they really felt a bit of a wretch.

"My cousin is in love. Nangong Tong smiled slightly, unhurriedly picked up the tea on the table and blew it gently, took a sip, and showed a graceful and chic extraordinary bearing between his movements. "The imperial court governs the country and uses Confucianism to rule the law, but in fact, it has quite scruples about the reckless power of the rivers and lakes and the family. In addition, there are internal and external troubles of Yongzhou and Xidi, and they dare not provoke the hostility of the Jianghu people to the imperial court at will. Therefore, as long as it is not too noisy, people's livelihood will not be affected, and they will turn a blind eye to the affairs of the rivers and lakes. Moreover, this Qingzhou is a remote place, and it was only at the beginning of the founding of the country that the Great Qianzhou was divided from Jizhou, and the traces of demons can be seen everywhere, but it is only after the opening of the canal in the past 30 years that there is some weather. That Liu Junfeng has only been the pastor of Qingzhou for a few years, of course, he does not seek merit but no fault, but if he wants to maintain the integrity and integrity of his Confucian gentleman, he can only worry about these details. We already have the upper hand, so why bother with him. ”

"But that uncle named Liu is really a good person. Mingyue, who was lying on the table eating an apple, suddenly raised her head and said. "And don't underestimate him, he's pretty powerful. ”

"Ahem. Nangong Tong couldn't help but choke on a small sip of tea, hurriedly covered it with his hand, shook his wrist slightly, and a stack of brocade handkerchiefs in his sleeve slipped out and wiped his mouth, and then took it back without a trace, and then showed a perfect smile as if it was nothing. "Miss Mingyue has a clear mind, so you don't have to pay attention to these mundane things. Although it is a pity that we have not been able to wash away all the injustices on Miss Mingyue this time, didn't Qingfeng Dao Chang say that our real purpose is not this"

Speaking of this, He Ji'er and Nangong Tong's eyes fell on Xiao Xia on the side. It's just that Xiao Xia didn't speak, his eyes and attention were all on the stack of paper in his hand, which was full of dense fly-headed small characters.

Finally finished reading the news in his hand, Xiao Xia rubbed his aching eyes and forehead, sighed with satisfaction, and nodded: "Sure enough, there is still money and easy to do, I used to always wonder how Qingyulou's business could be so big, it turns out that it can make money like this by buying and selling news."

"Is there really anything going on?" He Xi'er's eyes lit up and asked.

"There's something weird," Natsu shook her head. He waved the few pieces of paper full of words in his hand, which were the news that he had spent two thousand taels of silver to buy from Qingyu Building, recording all the guests and guests of the Luoshui Gang who had visited since that turmoil, the various changes in life, and all the strange events in this Luoshui City. To tease out the useful, wanted information from so many records was really dizzying for him. "Last month, two people died in this Luoshui City. One drank too much and fell into the gutter on the side of the road and drowned, and the other accidentally cut his hand by his own corpse dismemberment instrument and died of corpse poison. There are only five of them in this Luoshui City, and the two who died are the oldest and most experienced. ”

"Someone wants to silence them. He Xi'er's eyes lit up suddenly. "Did these two servants go to help the Luoshui Gang clean up those corpses? There must be something unsightly in those corpses!"

Xiao Xia shook his head: "I have seen those corpses with my own eyes, where did they come from, something unsightly." Moreover, there were a total of four people who helped the Luoshui Gang clean up the corpses that day, but these two stayed in the Luoshui Gang for a few days later. If there was really something wrong with the corpse, why didn't you wait until last month to kill it?"

"And what do you mean?"

"Naturally, I want to cover up other things," Xiao Xia smiled. "I carefully looked at the records of the people who went to the Luoshui Gang to formally visit after the incident, most of them were the leaders of the local gangs, and there seemed to be nothing strange between words and deeds, only on the morning of September 17, the master of the Shenji Hall Wu brought a large sedan chair into the Luoshui Gang, and no one knew what was in the sedan chair. And those two servants happened to be still in the Luoshui Gang that day. In addition, among the people who betrayed the Luoshui Gang, a lot of them have also died in the past two months, although there is no record here, I think the people who saw what was in the big sedan chair that day probably also died. ”

"Oh? do you mean that the sedan chair that Hall Master Wu brought in is"

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Xia gritted his teeth hard, and said word by word: "Yes, it should be the black hand under the Heavenly Volcano who uses the Heavenly Ghost Heart Mantra." ”

"Okay!" He Xi'er slapped her face, her expression indescribably excited. "If we can find out the details of this person's origins, or even directly arrest this person, it will be a good opportunity for my Righteous Dao Alliance to make a name for itself! It turns out that the Wu Hall Master actually colluded with that person? Go and arrest him."

At this time, there was a sound of approaching trotting footsteps outside, and the footsteps fell very heavy, as if they were specially stepped on for the people in the room. However, a very affectionate, even flattering voice sounded: "Nangong Gongzi, He Xianzi, Hushan Gate Master Hong Wanquan asks to see." ”

Nangong Tong didn't even glance at the door, but said lightly: "Come in." But has there been any progress in what has been commanded to you?"

The master of the Hushan Gate who stepped in small steps looked like a tiger, five big and three thick, but now he laughed like a cat: "Live up to the expectations of Nangong Gongzi, we will report the eyeliner around the Luoshui Gang, and Bai Ziming rode alone towards the Shenji Hall."
