Chapter 17: An Eventful Season
Chu Liuyun's entire world suddenly darkened, his vision blurred, and his mood was extremely heavy. My mind was foggy.
He stayed motionless in front of Yang Tianri's grave. It's like a clay sculpture and wood carving. By this time it was already drizzling. But the wind does not move, and the rain does not move. I don't know how long it took until the rain cleared. Chu Liuyun understood that the master was really gone, and there were no more relatives in the world. No matter how sad he is, Master will not be able to turn around.
Chu Liuyun thought to himself: Master often admonishes that being a man must have a beginning and an end, and you can't say it without faith. Now that the helper values me so much, how can I not say goodbye!
Thinking of this, Chu Liuyun decided to return to the helm first and resign with Guan Shanyue!
Chu Liuyun came to the chief rudder, and with the token given by Guan Shanyue, he was already unhindered in the general rudder. Chu Liuyun heard that Guan Shanyue was in the study, and immediately came to the study. But I saw Guan Shanyue writing hard in front of the case, writing something.
Guan Shanyue caught a glimpse of Chu Liuyun's arrival, and immediately asked, "Brother Chu has finally returned, how is Lord Zhao Helm now?" ”
He didn't look up, and the pen in his hand didn't stop. There is clearly something important to do.
Chu Liuyun heard him mention his master, his chest was sour, and he said, "Xie Gang Master cares, my master ...... He is dead. ”
Guan Shanyue was stunned for a moment, then approached Chu Liuyun's side and said, "You have done your best, people can't be resurrected after death, Brother Chu should mourn and take care of your body." ”
"I'm coming back this time..."
Chu Liuyun wanted to resign, but was interrupted by Guan Shanyue: "You go for a few days." There have been a lot of changes in the gang. ”
Guan Shanyue said to the disciple beside him: "Seal the letter on the case, and quickly pass it to Deputy Gang Leader Guo, 100,000 urgent, don't delay!" ”
Guan Shanyue arranged the help, and then said to Chu Liuyun: "Brother Chu, I don't hide it. A few days ago, the chief helm received an urgent report from the military situation, saying that the Warat army had made a comeback, and he had asked Deputy Gang Leader Guo to lead the people to quell the rebellion. But just now, the secret agent of the General Command Division passed a message to the flying pigeon, saying that there was no such thing. ”
"Is it a false positive?" Chu Liuyun asked.
Guan Shanyue said: "The secret agents of the General Order Division are all over the world, and there has never been a false alarm, and this is a major military situation. How can it be a false positive? ”
"The gang leader suspects that someone has lied about the military?" Chu Liuyun asked.
"That's right," Guan Shanyue said, "This person lied about the military situation and had bad intentions. It's just that I haven't thought of what his purpose is. ”
At this moment, suddenly a disciple came to report: "Qiyu gang master, Daxing rudder Xie Jian fornicated with Wara, and killed Ma Qiankun, the rudder of Shunyi." Attempted rebellion. Now that the prisoners have been brought in, please help the Lord to send them down! ”
Guan Shanyue and Chu Liuyun glanced at each other, and immediately walked out of the study. But I saw a person tied up by five flowers and knelt outside the door. The man was covered in flesh and wounds, and had apparently been tortured to extract a confession. This person is Xie Jian, the helmsman of Daxing. There was a law enforcement disciple standing on each side of him.
Another old man stood aside with a judge's pen in his hand, and he was a well-known elder of the Law Enforcement Division.
When Xie Jian saw Guan Shanyue, he shouted loudly: "Help the master save me, I am wronged." ”
Mingyang snorted and said: "The gold came out of your house, and there are all the handwritten letters of the whole strange sky, you still dare to quibble?" ”
Xie Jian said hurriedly: "I was framed by someone. ”
"Joke," Mingyang said, "who will put a thousand taels of gold in your house to frame you?" ”
Xie Jian ignored him anymore and said to Guan Shanyue: "Helper, you have to believe me, I was greedy for some silver in the past. But give me ten guts, I don't dare to rebel! ”
Guan Shanyue looked at Xie Jian and asked Mingyang, "How did Elder Ming know that Shunyi Helmsman Ma Qiankun was killed by Lord Xie Helm?" ”
Mingyang said: "He confessed it himself." ”
"I was tortured to extract a confession, don't believe him!" Xie Jian said urgently.
Mingyang "hummed" for a moment and said: "The Dragon Guardian Gang is a man who stands up to the sky. I can't stand the pain of flesh and skin, how can I be the master of a rudder? Speaking back, it's not a hero's behavior! The helmsman died under your famous stunt 'Xie Jiaquan', how can you be allowed to quibble? ”
Xie Jian said angrily: "I, Xie Jian, am loyal to the helper, and the world can learn from it!" ”
Then he said to Guan Shanyue: "Please help the master to see everything and avenge me." As he spoke, he bowed down.
Guan Shanyue patted Xie Jian on the shoulder and said, "The helmsman committed a crime, why didn't the Law Enforcement Department inform me in advance." Besides, the use of lynching by the Law Enforcement Department is probably not very in line with the rules, right? ”
Mingyang listened to it and replied: "The leader of the gang is clear, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and the stakes are very high. The situation was urgent and the Enforcement Division did not have time to report it. ”
Guan Shanyue let out a "hmm" and said: "Whether the horse helmsman was killed by the helmsman Xie is just a guess, and it cannot be determined that the helmsman Xie is the murderer." With only 1,000 taels of gold, it is concluded that Lord Xie Helm collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and the Law Enforcement Department is inevitably too arbitrary, right? ”
Mingyang took out a note and said, "This is the evidence of Xie Jian's fornication." As for the murder of the helmsman, the Law Enforcement Division still has witnesses. ”
At this moment, a person stepped forward and said, "Qiqi Gang Master, I saw Xie Jian kill the horse helm master with my own eyes. ”
Xie Jian looked up and saw that the man had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and his face was pockmarked, he was his subordinate, and immediately said angrily: "Sun Quan, it turned out to be you villain!" ”
Guan Shanyue asked, "When and where was the horse helmsman killed?" ”
Sun Quandao: "It was three days ago that Xie Jian deceived the horse helmsman into dividing our helms. ”
"Now that you've seen it, why not stop it." Guan Shanyue asked.
Sun Quandao: "Back to the helper, Xie Jian gave me five hundred taels of silver, so I don't talk nonsense." ”
Xie Jian laughed and said, "It's just nonsense, don't believe him." ”
Mingyang said: "If your own subordinates report you, will they still wronged you?" ”
Guan Shanyue waved his hand, and then asked Sun Quan: "At that time, how did Lord Xie kill Master Ma Helm?" ”
Sun Quan's eyes were in a trance, and he was already a little stammering when he spoke: "Yes...... It is the main use of Xie Rudder...... Thank...... Xie Jiaquan killed the horse helmsman. ”
Guan Shanyue said: "You have always called Xie Jian by his name, why did you change your name to Lord Xie Helm at this moment?" ”
"I ...... I," Sun Quan looked at Mingyang, not knowing how to answer.
Mingyang sneered and said: "There are all the human and material evidence, I know that Lord Xie Helm is the henchman of the gang leader, if the gang leader intends to exonerate Lord Xie Helm, I have nothing to say!" ”
Guan Shanyue heard him speak with a strange atmosphere, and immediately said: "Elder don't worry, I will never let go of a bad person, nor will I wronged a good person!" ”
Mingyang said: "Okay, the helper understands the righteousness, so good!" ”
Guan Shanyue said: "Take Master Xie Duo into custody at the chief helm, and wait for my further interrogation." ”
"Yes," the two law enforcement disciples took Xie Jian down.
Mingyang also immediately resigned and left with Sun Quan. Only Guan Shanyue and Chu Liuyun were left.
Guan Shanyue sighed and said, "Originally, I wanted to abdicate immediately, but now that the Dragon Protector Gang is in an eventful time, how can I bear to leave." ”
Chu Liuyun saw Guan Shanyue's brows tightened, and he couldn't bear to mention his resignation for a while.
Chu Liuyun said: "The gang leader is wise, whether the gang leader has rebelled or not, the gang leader will definitely find out." ”
Guan Shanyue said: "I'm not concerned about whether Master Xie Helm has rebelled, but I'm worried that someone will be unfavorable to Deputy Gang Master Guo." ”
Chu Liuyun said: "The gang leader has urgently summoned Deputy Gang Leader Guo back to the helm, so it will be fine." ”
Guan Shanyue said: "In the past few days, there have been accidents with the helmsman, and the people who have accidents are all people I reuse. These things are all in tandem, and I suspect someone is dealing with the Dragonguards. Even, their target may be me. ”
Chu Liuyun said: "Helper, this is not the place to talk, let's go back to the house to talk." ”
The two talked for a long time, until night fell, and they couldn't say why. Suddenly, Guan Shanyue heard a noise outside the door, and immediately rushed out of the door with an arrow step, only to see that there was indeed someone outside the door, the person was dressed in black and masked, and his figure was thin. Seeing Guan Shanyue flash, he came to him and was taken aback.
Guan Shanyue asked, "Who are you?" ”
The man didn't say anything, and pulled out his sword with a "Zheng" sound, stabbing Guan Shanyue in the throat. Guan Shanyue dodged sideways, and with a palm of his hand, he hit the chest of the man in black. How domineering is Guan Shanyue's palm? The man in black snorted and took seven or eight steps back to stabilize his figure. With a "wow", he vomited blood through the veil.
At this time, Chu Liuyun also chased out.
Guan Shanyue asked, "Who are you?" ”
The man in black didn't say anything, but he was lucky and floated away.
Guan Shanyue couldn't let him escape, and immediately used light skills to chase him. The man in black has extremely high light skills, Guan Shanyue is always dozens of zhang away from him, chasing a stick of incense, and he is always close. Later, it was further and further apart, until the man in black disappeared.
Chu Liuyun waited in the study for nearly half an hour, and Guan Shanyue returned again. When he came back, he immediately asked, "Can the helper catch that person?" ”
Guan Shanyue shook his head and said, "This person's martial arts are not strong, but his light skills are extremely high, and he is really evil." ”
Chu Liuyun said: "Who is it that dares to spy on the gang leader?" ”
Guan Shanyue said: "Brother Chu will be here for one night tonight, I will go back first, I am worried that something will happen to my wife." ”
The general rudder is the place where the Dragon Guardian Gang handles the help, and it is inconvenient for the female dependents to live here. So Guan Shanyue arranged for Wang Yingying to live not far from the general rudder.
The night was long, but Chu Liuyun had no intention of sleeping. He walked around the main helm and passed by the Zhongyi Hall, but he saw that the hall was brightly lit and there were people guarding outside the Zhongyi Hall. Chu Liuyun was suspicious, bypassed the main gate of Zhongyi Hall, and went up and down from the back wall to the roof. Chu Liuyun gently uncovered a tile, but saw that there were dozens of people in the hall, gathered here late at night, as if discussing important matters.
There are a few of them, Chu Liuyun knows. Wen Cheng, the four elders of Wude, Mingyang, and Wanli are impressive. There are also the third-rate masters of the Loyal Hall, Li Quanshou, the master of the Filial Piety Hall, Li Kan, the master of the Solar Term Hall, and Yuan Mingyi, the master of the Sanyi Hall. Among the other people, Chu Liuyun was blind.
Chu Liuyun thought to himself: The important figures of the Dragon Guardian Gang are all here, and they must be discussing big things. But only the helper is not there, is it really strange?
I only heard Mingyang say: "The helper has left the helm, this matter needs to be planned carefully, everyone has something to say." ”
"I never wanted to believe it was true." The one who speaks is a faithful lord and a third-rate.
One person continued: "I don't believe it either," the person who spoke was in his thirties, and he was dressed in a scholarly atmosphere, and it was Yuan Mingyi, the master of Sanyi Hall.
"But the facts are right in front of us," Mingyang said, "and in the face of the country's righteousness, we cannot protect him." ”
Chu Liuyun thought to himself: Could it be that they are talking about Lord Xie Helm?
I saw Li Kan shake his head and said, "I always feel that this matter is incredible!" What good is it for him to do this? ”
Famous said: "Throughout the ages, who can withstand the temptation of power? Now that the evidence of the crime is conclusive, what we have to do is how to get him to justice. ”
Mingyang paused, and then said, "Now we have separated the two of them just to prevent them from being together. Everyone knows that when it comes to martial arts, no one present is his opponent. ”
"Nonsense," Wu De continued, "Looking at the entire martial arts, I'm afraid no one is his opponent. ”
Mingyang nodded, and then said, "So, we need to contact some more people." ”
"Yes," Chu Liuyun suddenly realized: they were going to deal with Deputy Guo's gang leader, so they lied about the military situation to trick him out of the helm. They were afraid that the Guan Gang Leader would protect Deputy Gang Leader Guo, so they discussed how to deal with Deputy Gang Leader Guo here.
Wu De said: "It's one thing whether he can subdue the law, what if we catch the wrong person?" As he spoke, he spread his hands and looked at Fame.
Mingyang nodded and said, "There is no wind and no waves, and now the evidence of the crime is conclusive." The stakes are so high that we can't delay any longer, and we're going to do it tomorrow. ”
Mingyang paused, and then said: "Besides, they are all their own brothers, even if they are mistaken, everyone just talk about it." ”
Everyone nodded yes.
Chu Liuyun thought to himself: Did Deputy Gang Leader Guo rebel? Should I tell the Guan gang leader about this?
There were many masters in the hall, Chu Liuyun was afraid that he would be exposed, so he didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he quietly covered the tiles and left from one side.
Early in the morning of the second day, Chu Liuyun saw Guan Shanyue and told Guan Shanyue about it. Guan Shanyue has always been alert, he keenly felt that things were not good, and was thinking about how to deal with it, but he heard a disciple report: "Qiqi Gang Master, the four elders respectfully ask the Gang Master to go to the Zhongyi Hall to preside over the meeting." ”
Guan Shanyue let out an "um" and said, "I'll go now." ”
Chu Liuyun said: "Be careful. ”
Guan Shanyue said: "Today, the helm is changing, and there are many brothers who are very eye-catching, and they will act when they see the opportunity. ”
Chu Liuyun let out an "um" and nodded.
The helmsman of the Dragon Guard, in the Hall of Loyalty. Guan Shanyue held a general meeting. Elder Wen Cheng, Elder of the Financial Secretary, Elder Wu De, Elder of the General Order Division, Elder Mingyang, Elder of the Military Aircraft Division, Elder Wan Li, Elder of the Loyal Hall, Li Quanshou, the head of the Filial Piety Hall, Li Kan, the head of the Solar Term Hall, and Yuan Mingyi, the head of the Sanyi Hall, all came one after another.
Then came the south rudder, the north rudder, the east rudder, the west rudder, the east rudder, the southeast rudder, the southwest rudder, the northeast rudder, the northwest rudder, eight rudder masters.
As for the others, Guan Shanyue is also an eye-eye. There were so many people in the hall that all the tables and chairs had been withdrawn. Chu Liuyun stood behind Guan Shanyue, and when he saw that these people were all carrying weapons, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Guan Shanyue said: "Today's conference is so exciting, I don't know what the four elders have to say. ”
Mingyang said: "Dare to ask the helper, how to deal with Xie Jian, the helmsman of Daxing." ”
Guan Shanyue said: "I am about to be interrogated, if Xie Jian really has a disobedient heart, he will be handed over to the imperial court for disposal." ”
Mingyang said: "The evidence is conclusive, what else is there to interrogate the gang leader?" ”
Guan Shanyue said, "Why is Elder in a hurry to convict Xie Jian? ”
Mingyang snorted and said, "I have no grievances with him, will I ever wronged him?" ”
Guan Shanyue said: "I'm just talking about things, don't be angry. ”
"How dare you," Ming Yang continued: "In the past two days, the Dragon Guardian Gang has killed five helmsmen one after another, do you know? ”
"What?" Guan Shanyue said: "Is there such a thing? ”
Mingyang said: "The helper has insight and has always known everything. So many things have happened in the past two days, and the helper didn't even notice it? ”
Guan Shanyue looked at Wu De and asked, "Elder Wu, why didn't the General Order Division report this important information?" ”
Wu De snorted: "Originally, I was going to notify the helper, but I just ...... It's just'" He looked at Fame and said no more.
Mingyang took over the conversation and said, "It's just that this matter is not good to return to the helper." ”
"Nonsense," Guan Shanyue said: "Five helmsmen have died one after another, and you dare to hide such a big thing!" ”
Mingyang said: "I didn't dare to hide this matter from the gang leader, but the death of these five helmsmen is really strange." ”
Guan Shanyue asked, "What's going on?" ”
Wan Li said "hey" and said, "It's really uncomfortable to go around like this." Helper, let me make it clear to you, the five helmsmen were all killed by a single blow. There are palm prints on the chest, and the pit is several inches deep. Looking at the entire martial arts, only the helper has such skills. And the helper and these five helmsmen have always been at odds. So, everyone suspects that you killed it. ”
Chu Liuyun realized in his heart, it turned out that the person they discussed to deal with last night turned out to be the helper!
Guan Shanyue "snorted" and said: "You lynched Xie Jian, I won't pursue it, I didn't expect you to find out about me, I want to ask, as the leader of a gang, what is the benefit of killing them?" ”
Fame said: "Because they will not follow you to rebel!" ”
Guan Shanyue stared at Mingyang and asked, "Rebellion, you said I want to rebel?" ”
"Yes," Mingyang was not afraid at all: "The helper himself understands it in his heart!" ”
Guan Shanyue looked at everyone, as far as his eyes could see, some did not dare to look at him, and when he saw his gaze sweeping, they all lowered their heads, but some people were not afraid at all.
Guan Shanyue looked at the elder Wu De of the General Order Division, and asked, "Why did the General Order Division lie about the military situation, have you already killed Deputy Gang Leader Guo?" Say it! ”
"No," Wu De said, "No...... No. ”
Guan Shanyue pondered: They lied about the military situation, my people have all left the helm with Brother Guo, and the people who changed the guard of the helm are all living people, it seems that they have been planning for a long time.
Guan Shanyue stared at Mingyang and said, "Elder Ming, you said that I am going to rebel, what evidence do you have?" Guan Shanyue thought in his heart: If he dares to oppose me, he must have some important evidence.
Mingyang said: "Xie Jian fornicated with Warat, the evidence is conclusive, but you have repeatedly protected the helper." Why? ”
Guan Shanyue said: "Even if I protect Xie Jian, you will charge me with rebellion?" ”
"Of course not," Mingyang said, "Over the years, the gang leader has set up three divisions and one place, which is equivalent to putting us old fellows under house arrest at the helm. Helpers like to promote young talents, we understand, but you have repeatedly cultivated your own cronies. Seventy-two helmsmen, basically all of them are pulled by you. This is the harbinger of bad intentions! ”
Guan Shanyue laughed and said, "House arrest? It's a shame for what you said! In terms of status, below Deputy Gang Leader Guo of the Dragon Guardian Gang, is there anyone higher than your four elders? ”
Guan Shanyue looked at the four elders one by one, as far as his eyes could see, but the four elders did not dare to look at them.
Guan Shanyue continued: "As for promoting the helmsman, sometimes I am arbitrary, but have any of you come forward to give advice? Which helmsman was not promoted because of his great achievements? ”
"Gotta get it," Wu De said, "Helper, I, Wu De is an impatient child, and I don't like my mother-in-law." Whether you are a traitor or a loyal, I can't tell the difference, just say it, do you have the intention of rebellion! ”
Guan Shanyue looked at Wu De, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Elder Wu is honest by nature, he must have been deceived by others, so that loyalty and treachery are unknown, and there is no distinction between right and wrong. ”
Chu Liuyun interjected: "The Guan Gang Master is arrogant and dry, and the accumulated miraculous achievements made over the years are unmatched by the Dragon Guardian Gang!" Isn't it a big joke to say that the Guan gang leader will rebel? ”
Guan Shanyue looked at Mingyang and said, "This person can say that he can move the four elders, the four hall masters and the helmsmen, there must be evidence first!" Elder, are you going to condemn me just a few empty words? ”
"Don't dare!" Mingyang said: "Half a month ago, someone offered five thousand taels of gold. The 5,000 taels of gold were bribed by Mingjiao Yutai Jingming to the Guan gang leader. ”
Guan Shanyue smiled angrily: "Where is the gold?" ”
"Bring it in!" Fame said loudly.
As soon as the voice fell, dozens of disciples came in carrying five large wooden boxes. Mingyang waved his hand and asked the disciples to open it. The wooden box is full of gold, silver and jewelry!
Guan Shanyue said: "Okay, okay, who is the one who offered the gold?" ”
Mingyang asked rhetorically, "Do you want to kill people?" ”
Guan Shanyue snorted and said, "Come to think of it, Xie Jian was also framed like this, right?" ”
Wu De was anxious and asked, "Helper, you just say that this gold is not yours!" ”。
Guan Shanyue ignored Wu De and asked Mingyang, "Who is the one who offered the gold?" ”
Mingyang said: "He is in a very safe place, if you are caught, he will naturally dare to come out and identify him." ”
Guan Shanyue stared at Mingyang and said, "This matter is very important, if the elder is not bought, he must have been deceived by a traitor!" ”
As he spoke, Guan Shanyue suddenly stretched out his right hand and was grabbing Zhongmingyang's left shoulder. When Guan Shanyue made a move, he was only a few feet away from fame. When Mingyang reacted, his left shoulder was caught, and he couldn't move. Several times of luck, I was pressed down by Guan Shanyue's strong internal force!
"Thou shalt not harm an elder"
"Let him go"
"There's something to say"
The crowd shouted.
Originally, the martial arts of the famous elders were not weak, and the acupoint kung fu was unparalleled in the world, and even ranked first among the four elders. It's just that first, Guan Shanyue's shot was sudden, and second, Guan Shanyue's shot was too fast, and Mingyang couldn't react at all.
I only heard Guan Shanyue say: "After talking for a long time, you are just guessing, what is the trouble of wanting to add to the crime!" I am a good man in the mountains, how can I suffer this injustice! ”
Wen Chengdao: "You release the elder first, you have something to say!" ”
Guan Shanyue said: "What did you do to Deputy Gang Leader Guo?" ”
Wu De said: "Please believe me, there are many helmsmen with him, we just tricked him out, and Deputy Gang Leader Guo is safe and sound." You let go of the famous elder first, and you have something to say. ”
Guan Shanyue said to the fame: "Okay, if you don't tell me why, I won't spare you!" ”
Finished speaking! Guan Shanyue let go of his right hand, Mingyang's left shoulder was relieved, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, I'll give you the evidence and let you be convinced." ”
Guan Shanyue looked at Mingyang and saw what evidence he could come up with......
