Lin Jie stood up, his gaze swept over everyone in the hall, and everyone he saw couldn't help but lower their heads, not daring to look at them.

Lin Xi slowly let go of his right hand holding the hilt of the knife.

The so-called shadow of people's famous trees, Lin Jie's status in the rivers and lakes is not obtained by boasting, but by the prestige of a tough battle. A large part of the reason why the Seven Star Gang can become the leader of the Northland Green Forest is due to Lin Jie's identity as the first person on the martial arts list.

Even if Guiyuan Sect put his posture extremely low and was extremely respectful in his words, there was no difference between everyone's actions and forcing the palace today.

In the crowd, Jiang Houming lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows, looking respectful but not fearful.

Everything pays attention to a rational word, and their advice is for the sake of the fate of tens of thousands of members of the Seven Star Gang, unless Lin Jie is ferocious and kills all the people in the hall who support Zhao'an. However, after the killing, the Seven Star Gang will definitely fall apart, and there is no need for Yan Chao to bother at all.

Lin Jie's gaze stayed on the face of the Guiyuan Sect, and his tone gradually became lower: "The second uncle is old, so he should be teasing Sun Yi for a long time, could it be that he can't trust his nephew's ability to handle things?" ”

Gui Yuanzong hurriedly shook his head and said, "There is no doubt about the ability of the helper, the old man is just worried that you will be bewitched by thieves. ”

Lin Jie sneered, pressing step by step: "Who is the thief?" ”

"This ......"

Guiyuan Sect wanted to speak and stopped, his face was difficult.

As soon as the Fire Hall Master Shang Ben spoke, he said: "Helper, my subordinates have some things that I have wanted to say for a long time, so I beg the helper to allow it." ”

Lin Jie's eyes narrowed slightly: "You say." ”

Shang Benyi said with a solemn expression: "Second Uncle Gui should be referring to Lu Shen of Southern Qi. This person was originally uneasy and kind when he came to Zongzhai, and he wanted to let our Seven Star Gang and the Yan Dynasty confront him with just one mouth. If the Southern Qi sent troops north at this juncture and forced the Yan Dynasty Dongyang Road army to go south, instead of stationing troops to the south of us, Lu Shen's trip would still be a little sincere. Now that Nanqi is not moving, Lu Shen can be described as empty talk, and now he doesn't know where to go, obviously trying to coax the gang leader to work for them! ”

Jiang Houming coughed lightly and immediately echoed: "Helper, my subordinates think that Shangtang Master's words are reasonable. That Lu Shen had a good calculation, nothing more than wanting to use the Seven Stars Gang as a knife, but he stood on the dry shore and enjoyed the benefits of a fisherman. ”

If it had been placed half a month ago, I am afraid that no one other than Lin Xi would have stood up to support Lu Shen.

But the current situation is completely different, and Shi Changsheng, the hall master of the Lei Hall, stepped forward without hesitation: "The words of the two hall masters make me very uncomfortable to hear Lao Shi, what do you mean by coaxing the gang master to work for the south?" The gang leader can lead our Seven Star Gang to dominate the green forest, isn't it even as good as a hairy boy? You are disrespectful! Also, what does it mean to sit back and enjoy the benefits of a fisherman? ”

He took a few steps forward, went straight to Shang Ben, and said with round eyes: "For the sake of our Seven Star Gang, Lu Duwei is willing to risk his life to assassinate Chen Jingtang in Heluo City, but they are slandering here for no reason, this is not the work of the eldest husband!" ”

The two were extremely close, and most of Shi Changsheng's saliva was sprayed on Shang Benyi's face, and it happened that he ate a large pot of mutton soup at noon, and the strong fishy smell came to his face, almost suffocating Shang Benyi on the spot.

In the internal power structure of the Seven Star Gang, Shi Changsheng belongs to a lonely family, not Lin Jie's henchman, and has nothing to do with Jiang Houming, with his profound martial arts and upright temperament to win a transcendent position, no one wants to provoke this reckless man, so Shang Ben took two steps back, raised his sleeve and wiped his face, and said helplessly: "How can I slander him?" It is a fact that Nanqi did not move. ”

"Fart! You say that he has no sincerity, and if he is not sincere, he ran to Heluo City to assassinate Chen Jingtang? Why don't you dare go? ”

Shi Changsheng slammed Shang Ben into a corner with a word, and then turned to shoot at Jiang Houming: "Hall Master Jiang, your precious son is two years older than Lu Duwei, why doesn't he get rid of Chen Jingtang and avenge the tragic death of our brothers and sisters of the Seven Star Gang?" ”

Jiang Houming frowned and said: "Brother Shi, don't mess around, no one forced Lu Shen to go to Heluo City, this is the job he willingly undertakes." Moreover, our guide sent him outside Heluo City, it has been half a month, why has he not moved for a long time? Maybe he has already run back to Southern Qi this time and misled us to continue to be hostile to the Yan Dynasty! ”

Shi Changsheng laughed angrily, gritted his teeth and said: "I Lao Shi made a bet with you today, if Lu Shen kills Chen Jingtang, you bow to him in front of all the brothers in the gang and apologize." If Lu Shen runs away timidly, I will give you a hundred kowtows! ”

was interrupted by him like this, and the atmosphere of forcing the palace that had already formed was gone, and everyone's attention was attracted.

Jiang Houming was not afraid of Shi Changsheng, but he didn't feel the need to make trouble with this reckless man, and said in a deep voice: "Now we are talking about major matters in the gang, and I have no interest in messing around with you." ”

Shi Changsheng snorted coldly.

Lin Jie's voice came: "Brother Jiang, are you very anxious?" ”

Jiang Houming's heart tightened when he heard this, and he lowered his head and said: "Helper, my subordinates just feel that they should make a decision early, and once they decide to accept the Yan Dynasty's recruitment, they can also ask for more benefits." ”

The white-haired old men bowed their heads frequently, and the eyes of some people quietly flashed with greed.

Lin Jie was silent, and this scene made Lin Xi slightly puzzled.

For as long as she can remember, her father has never hesitated to make decisions to kill, although he acquiesced to the existence of Jiang Houming and others, but he has always been the same in the decision of major matters in the gang. However, since the Yan Dynasty recruited the Lulin gang, he has never had a clear attitude, even if Lu Shen is more supportive of his opinions after his arrival, it is only a verbal support.

Today's turmoil, if he had followed his past habits, I am afraid that he would not have given those elders a chance to speak at all.

Why is this happening?

At this moment, a deacon of the Yin Hall walked quickly to the council hall, looked at Lin Jie, who was standing proudly, and said happily: "Qiqi Gang Master, there is an urgent report from the south!" ”

Everyone looked over, and Lin Jie said indifferently: "Speak." ”

The deacon said loudly: "Chen Jingtang, the former privy deputy envoy of the Yan Dynasty, died in his own mansion!" Heluo City Nine Gates are under martial law! ”

There was silence in the hall, and then there was a lot of noise.

The white-haired old men looked at each other, and their faces became a little strange.

Jiang Houming's heart sank, his brows wrinkled unconsciously, he looked to the side, only to see Shi Changsheng looking at him with a smile, and said in a good time: "Hall Master Jiang, it seems that you are indeed very cunning, and you will not accept the gambling contract if you know that there is no chance of winning." ”

Jiang Houming snorted lightly and did not take over the conversation.

Lin Xi took in this scene, and couldn't help but smile on his lips.

Shi Changsheng did not chase after Jiang Houming, and said to Lin Jie: "Congratulations to the gang leader, Lu Duwei really does what he says, and he is trustworthy!" ”

Lin Jie smiled heartily, his eyes swept over Jiang Houming and the others with deep meaning, and then said to Guiyuanzong: "Second uncle, how about we sit down and listen?" ”

"Okay, okay." Gui Yuanzong smiled reluctantly and nodded again and again.

Lin Jie sat on the broad position of the gang leader and said to the deacon, "Can the Yin cousin find out the details?" ”

The deacon responded: "Gang master, the information we currently have is that Chen Jingtang's son Chen Qifu died accidentally in a fight, but the murderer is Guo Yijiang, the son of the current privy deputy envoy Guo Yan. Chen Jingtang wanted to severely punish the murderer, but the monarchs and ministers of Yan State disagreed, because Guo Yan was behind the powerful people of the Jing Dynasty, and this matter caused an undercurrent in Heluo City. Chen Jingtang was furious for a while, so he committed suicide by hanging a beam in the mansion, which caused changes in the court of Yan Guo and gradually formed a trend of infighting. ”

"Good!"

Lin Tang Hall Master Ran Xuanzhi clapped his palms and praised, and then said with a smile: "If Yan Chao is too busy to take care of himself, he will definitely not be able to put pressure on us in a short time." ”

The people who had clamored to accept Zhao'an before all bowed their heads in silence.

The deacon continued, "Originally, our brother could not confirm whether the death of the father and son was related to Lu Duwei, but soon there was another piece of news. The court of Yan announced to the world that Lu Duwei would be rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold and 10,000 marquis, even if he only provided information about his whereabouts, he could get 100 taels of gold and six official positions. Therefore, we can conclude that the death of Chen's father and son was the handiwork of Lu Duwei! ”

"Well killed!"

"I really didn't see the wrong person, Lu Duwei is a man!"

"When he comes back, I'm going to have a drink with him!"

The crowd in the council hall was fierce, but Lin Jie, who was on the main seat, did not have too obvious joy, and when everyone quieted down, he looked at the deacon and asked, "Where is Lu Shen now?" ”

The deacon replied: "Please rest assured that the brother of the Yin Hall will meet Captain Lu in Zhonglu County, which has been agreed in advance." ”

Lin Jie bowed slightly, and in a blink of an eye, he saw the melancholy on Lin Xi's face.

Chen Jingtang's death will certainly plunge the Yan Dynasty into civil strife for a period of time, but judging from this reward order, the other party has obviously discovered Lu Shen's existence, and he may have many dangers on the way back.

"Helper!"

The other person hurriedly walked into the council hall, and then hurriedly said under the gaze of everyone: "There is an urgent report from the brothers in the west, a large number of Yan Dynasty masters are chasing and killing Lu Duwei, and some of them are even close to the strength of the people in the martial list. At present, our people have been picked up to Lu Duwei, but they were forced by the other party to the heart of Henan Road, and they are getting farther and farther away from the mountain gate. They left a secret message and a secret letter, hoping that the helper would send someone to rescue them as soon as possible! ”

Everyone was shocked, Lin Xi Huoran, who had already sat down, got up and turned his head to look at Lin Jie, the anxious look in his eyes could not be concealed at all.

Lin Jie signaled her to calm down with his gaze, and then said in a deep voice: "Lu Shen took such a big risk for our Seven Star Gang, and we naturally can't stand idly by as people in the rivers and lakes, otherwise it will be against the word loyalty." ”

He looked at the person on the right side of the hall, and said, "Brother Dong, you immediately lead all the masters under your command to the rescue, and let Tao Baochun and Xi Jun also follow, and be sure to bring Lu Shen back intact." ”

Everyone in the hall knows that Dong Mian is Lin Jie's real confidant, and he has the largest number of masters under his command, if you add Tao Baochun's gang, almost all the elites that Lin Jie has cultivated over the years.

Dong Mian hesitated slightly, but after seeing Lin Jie's cold gaze, he got up and responded: "Subordinates take orders!" ”

Lin Jie nodded, looked at Lin Xi, who was standing not far away, and said in a slow tone, "Xi'er should go too." ”

Lin Xi lowered his head and said, "Yes, father." ”

Although the tone was light, it was full of murderous intent.
