53, Hongmen Banquet
Seeing that the atmosphere was cold, Wei Lingyun's face was also a little unpleasant.
For today's banquet, he originally intended to invite only Shen Duren.
But who knew that after coming here, he happened to meet these disciples of the Jianghu Sect, and in the face of the warm invitation of several people, he was not easy to refuse.
I didn't expect to cause the current situation.
Although Shen Du came to Qingzhou for the first time, the momentum he created was not small at all.
As the son of Sima Mansion, he naturally has eyes and ears in the six doors.
So he was very clear about everything that happened in the six doors that day.
For a long time, neither the Assassin's Mansion nor the Sima Mansion could completely win over the six doors.
The chief arrester of the six doors also adheres to the attitude that no one can be offended, and wanders between the two.
At most, they have only a few people in the six doors, but it is difficult for these people to hold real power.
Although he is the son of Sima Mansion, it is only that.
He has already learned in detail that Shen Du has no foundation in Qingzhou and no background, such a person is the most suitable for wooing!
Especially now that he is being targeted by all sides, sending charcoal in the snow will definitely make him return to his heart.
He had thought about many scenes where the two met, but he didn't expect this scene today.
Wei Lingyun sighed secretly in his heart, but on the surface, he was calm and calm, with a smile on his face: "Lord Shen, please sit down." ”
"No!"
Shen Du shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Master Wei, this official is here for the affairs of the South Twelve Fangs. ”
"If Wei Gongzi has clues, he might as well inform this official, so that he can solve this case as soon as possible."
Wei Lingyun was about to answer, when a handsome-faced Jianghu disciple beside him suddenly spoke up: "I heard Wei Gongzi say that Master Shen is the leader of the younger generation of the Six Sects today. ”
"Now it seems that it is just a name."
"I heard that the South Twelfth Fang is the jurisdiction of Shen Zhutou, and now that something has happened to the South Twelfth Fang, why do you want to ask Wei Gongzi?"
"Huh!" Xiao Qian smiled playfully, and said in a teasing tone: "Or do you say that the six doors of the hall are all handled like this?" ”
Wei Lingyun's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly spoke up to stop: "Xiao Qian, Lord Shen definitely didn't mean that. ”
Shen Du's eyes narrowed slightly, his indifferent gaze glanced at Xiao Qian, and said quietly: "Who are you?" ”
Xiao Qian said proudly: "Point the Cang faction, Xiao Qian!" ”
Qingzhou Diancang used to be the largest faction in Qingzhou, and now although it is no longer powerful, it also has a pivotal position in Qingzhou.
Xiao Qian has always been very proud of his background.
Shen Du bowed slightly, glanced at the few people present, turned around and left.
"Lord Shen......"
Wei Lingyun just wanted to dissuade him, but Shen Du left Fangyun Pavilion without looking back.
Several people watched Shen Du go away, and a sneering chuckle appeared on the corner of their mouths.
In their opinion, Shen Du was clearly scared away when he heard the name of the Diancang faction.
A trace of disdain flashed in Xiao Qian's eyes, and he said lightly: "I thought it was a powerful person, but it turned out to be nothing more than that." ”
A hint of helplessness flashed in Wei Lingyun's eyes.
His eyes glanced at Xiao Qian imperceptibly, and he secretly hated in his heart.
Bad for me!
It's just that Xiao Gan's identity in the Diancang faction is extraordinary, and it is the key to him winning over the Diancang faction in the future, and he is not easy to offend clearly.
The moment he turned around, he immediately smiled and talked to a few people, as if nothing had happened just now.
……
When Shen Du walked out of Fangyun Pavilion, Liang Ying, who was already waiting on the side, immediately greeted him, his face was ugly: "My lord, I just sent someone from above to spread the word, so that you can solve the matter of the South Twelve Fang as soon as possible." ”
If this matter is not handled well, not only will Shen Du's prestige be greatly reduced, but it will be difficult for him to sit firmly in the position of head catcher.
Especially for a person like Shen Du from Xia County, he has no connections in the officialdom, let alone help, once he sees that he is weak, it is inevitable that someone will fall into the ground.
Shen Du turned his head and glanced at Fang Yun Pavilion, and said coldly: "This official needs all the information of Wei Lingyun, as well as some news of Xiao Qian. ”
Even if the six doors are no longer as powerful as they used to be, it is not difficult to find out how many people they have.
"In addition, give this official a banquet for all the people of all the forces in the South Twelve Fang."
As soon as the words fell, Shen Du turned over and rode away.
……
In just one hour,
The major forces in the South Twelve Directions have received an invitation from the new head catcher of the Six Gates.
In the face of this invitation, everyone showed different attitudes.
Some despise it, some disdain it, and some are frightened, but most people shirk the matter for various reasons.
……
As night falls,
Outside Fangyun Pavilion, there were many people gathered at this time, and these people, without exception, were all Jianghu people who had achieved martial arts, and the atmosphere of Jianghu on their bodies was very strong.
These people are all major gangs from the South Twelve Squares.
The large and small gangs in the 12 squares of Qingzhou South add up, to say the least, there are twenty or thirty.
But most of the people who came here tonight were just small gangs.
Although Shen Du is the newly appointed head catcher, after all, he was born in six doors, and those big factions have people behind him, so they are naturally not afraid, but they are just small gangs, and they are struggling to survive in this southern twelve squares.
Everyone looked at each other and walked into the box that had been booked very tacitly.
Everyone sat around and whispered, and the discussion was the purpose of Shen Du's invitation to them this time.
A short time later, there was a sound of heavy footsteps outside the box.
As the door was opened, everyone in the hall looked up with strange expressions.
Shen Du was dressed in a cloud eagle black robe, wearing a wide golden knife at his waist, and his burly body gave people an invisible sense of oppression.
This is the first time that everyone has seen this new head catcher in charge of the South Twelve Fang.
Young!
This is their first impression.
For a while, everyone couldn't help but feel a little bitter in their hearts.
Many of them were already at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, but they still had to wait for Shen Du, a young man, and they felt quite uncomfortable in their hearts.
Shen Du looked around, smiled at everyone, and said loudly: "Shen is very happy that you can come tonight!" ”
"Lord Shen!"
The crowd stood up and saluted.
Shen Du walked to the main seat and sat down, and behind him, there were a group of black-clothed people with six doors, their faces solemn, and they were separated on both sides.
This posture made everyone secretly frightened, but when they thought that this place was Fangyun Pavilion, they were not worried.
In fact, the reason why they dared to come was also because Shen Du set the location at Fangyun Pavilion.
As we all know, private fighting is forbidden in Fangyun Pavilion.
Shen Du raised the wine glass on the table, looked indifferent, and said calmly: "This cup Shen respects you, thank you for coming!" ”
"From now on, we will be friends."
Hearing this, everyone present was stunned, wondering if they had heard it wrong.
Six doors and they are friends?
This is really a scorpion poop, the first time!
After a moment of silence, one person spoke up: "Lord Shen, I don't know if you invited us, but what do you command?" ”
The person who opened his mouth was the leader of the Iron Sword Gang in the South Twelve Squares, and among the others, he was also a highly qualified one.
He didn't believe that Shen Du invited them to a banquet, it was really just for the so-called friendship.
Some words are better to be clear in advance.
Shen Du raised his wine glass and drank it all, then slowly put it down, and said with a flat face: "This official is here today to give you a wealth that splashes the sky. ”
Everyone was shocked.
Splash the sky and be rich?!
Everyone looked at Shen Du's eyes, becoming more and more puzzled, and at the same time, they were secretly vigilant in their hearts.
They never believed that Shen Du would have such good intentions!
Shen Du took in everyone's expressions and continued: "This official knows that you are all the head snakes of the South Twelve Fang, and there are many masters of the rivers and lakes under your command. ”
"It's just that rivers and lakes are rivers and lakes after all, how can they compare to the imperial court."
"Now there are a lot of vacancies under the command of this official, I don't know if you are willing to join the six doors and govern the South Twelve Squares together with this official."
As soon as the words fell, the hall suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone was stunned.
Join Six Doors?
One of them frowned and said, "Lord Shen, aren't you deceiving us by saying this?" ”
Although the six doors also recruit people from the rivers and lakes, those people are all the sons of the family and the rivers and lakes without exception.
They're not qualified.
Shen Du shook his head and said lightly: "This official is full of words!" ”
The leader of the Iron Sword Gang said in a deep voice: "Lord Shen, I don't know what your conditions are? ”
Shen Du smiled and said, "Something happened in the South Twelve Fangs last night, you must all know about it, right?" ”
Seeing Shen Du ask about this, everyone fell silent.
They naturally knew about it, and it was impossible not to know about such a big movement.
It's just that this matter is not small.
Shen Du said lightly: "As the head snake of the Twelve Fangs, you must know more about this matter than this official. ”
"The head of the brother under this official was cut off, and he has not been buried."
"This official can't let them die like this!"
"At least we have to get our heads back, right?"
Shen Du's tone suddenly became cold, and it was even more implicit in his murderous intent.
He asked himself if he was not a good person, but those quick catchers died because of him.
He's going to have to give them an account!
These gangs of the Twelve Fangs are all local snakes, and if they don't know anything about it, it must be impossible.
Everyone's faces changed slightly.
For a while, everyone fell silent again, and their faces were different.
I have to admit that Shen Du's conditions are very tempting.
But...... You have to have a life!
The leader of the Iron Sword Gang sighed and arched his hand: "Lord Shen, Lin is just a reckless man in the rivers and lakes, how can he catch six doors quickly." ”
"Oh?" Shen Du's gaze swept to the rest of the people, and said lightly: "You all think so?" ”
Silence......
The room was quiet for a while.
The atmosphere was oppressive.
Shen Du suddenly laughed!
Shen Du nodded and said with a light smile: "It's okay, since you don't want to, then the official won't force it." ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The leader of the Iron Sword Gang arched his hand and said, "Thank you Lord Shen for your understanding." ”
Shen Du nodded with a smile, looked at everyone, and said lightly: "Is there anything else?" ”
As soon as the voice fell, a few more people stood up, all of whom had a good relationship with the leader of the Iron Sword Gang.
At this moment, the smile on Shen Du's face gradually disappeared, and he said lightly: "This official just forgot to say it." ”
"In the eyes of this official, except for friends, the rest are ...... Enemy! ”
Everyone's faces changed dramatically!
At this moment, the golden knife on Shen Du's waist came out of its sheath, and an extremely rich blood glow appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The Iron Sword Gang leader's eyes widened, a wisp of blood gradually appeared on his neck, and he reached out to cover his neck with a frightened expression, but a head fell to the ground uncontrollably.
Almost at the same time, the heads of the previous few people rolled off, and the warm blood splattered wantonly, spilling everyone's faces.
Everyone froze in place.
Shen Du slowly wiped the golden knife in his hand, and said expressionlessly: "Liang Ying, pour wine for all the gang leaders!" ”
