Night, Dengju City.

In the past, the chief rudder of the Cao Gang was quiet and orderly, but this night was full of guests.

The houses of the whole street near them were one house after another, one after another, and almost all the places where tables and chairs could be set up in the courtyard of the hall were full of banquets, and the scene was very lively.

Obviously, Gang Master Di was inviting guests to dinner, and this meal was prepared by him a long time ago.

According to his original plan, this should be a celebration banquet - in order to celebrate his becoming the head of the family, it is natural to invite all the heroes of the rivers and lakes who participated in the meeting today.

However, the plan has not kept up with the changes......

At today's daytime meeting of the Seven Heroes, Di Buti did not choose the head of the gate as he wished, of course, it cannot be said that he "failed", it can only be said that he ...... Discuss again.

So what's going on?

In fact, it was in the afternoon, Di Buti saw that the matter of the Mixed Yuan Interstellar Gate joining the Four Doors and Three Gangs was completed, so he calculated on the stage: "After all kinds of provocations by the surnamed Zhang and the surname Huang, now the Chivalrous Gate, the Zhongyi Gate, and the Xingyi Gate are all unable to get along with me, and the old fox Cao Laosan has already stabbed me in the back, and He Yinshan is a wall grass...... If I start discussing the election of the head of the sect now, then I will definitely not be elected, and I must find a way to put this aside in advance......"

As soon as he summed it up, he found an excuse to ...... the previous incident That is, the death of Ge Shi, as well as the attack on Guo Cong and Lin Yuancheng, was brought up again, saying that this matter was related to his reputation, and he also wanted to "return the chivalrous door to justice", so before finding out, he suggested that the matter of choosing the head of the gate should be put aside first.

Di Tireless is looking for this reason...... As he analyzed during his sophistry, if you follow the motive of "blaming the Cao gang and secretly seizing the head of the sect", every head of the four sects and three gangs will be suspicious, so it is indeed inappropriate to choose the head of the sect before you find out, in case you choose a person and it turns out later that the conspiracy was instigated by him, wouldn't it be to kill him and then re-elect?

And Di Buti mentioned this, and the heads of the other factions were not very easy to oppose, because the opposition would seem suspicious, as if you did it.

The heads of the four sects and three gangs don't object, and the people of the other sects won't oppose it - anyway, you have also given the new seventh sect to join at this time, and those sects that want to join your alliance have no hope, and now which of you is the head of the sect is still their business?

As for those high-rollers who are just to save face or come to join in the fun and "witness", they have also witnessed that the Mixed Yuan Interstellar Gate has been selected into the four doors and three gangs "openly and fairly", and then how you want to find out about Ge Shi's death is your internal matter, and they have no opinion.

That's it, and that's the end of this session of the Seven Heroes.

This is also the first time since the establishment of the alliance of the four doors and three gangs that they have ended the meeting without electing a general leader.

It's going to be scattered, but the people aren't scattered.

Generally speaking, after everyone comes to participate in this kind of gathering of fellow believers, the party in charge of doing the east is to have a treat.

Although Di Buti was in a rather depressed mood, the banquet still had to be held...... Even if he doesn't do it temporarily, the cooks, ingredients, tables, chairs, tableware, etc., which he has set in advance, will still be paid, so why should he lose money and offend people?

So, around the time of Shen, the fleet of the Cao Gang sent ships one after another and began to transport those high-rollers back to the rivers and lakes.

After these hundreds of martial arts people returned from Liugong Island, they almost went straight to the Cao Gang Helm, and then just in time for dinner.

This gang ...... But they are all people who practice martial arts, they have a lot of appetite, and the lunch on this day is not delicious, and now that they are at the luxurious banquet set up by the Cao Gang, they will no longer be polite to the Di Gang Master...... That one shook off his cheeks, opened his back molars, and didn't care whether it was delicacies from the mountains and seas or coarse grains and bran, and he gobbled it down.

It was Di Gang Leader himself, who was so angry that his stomach hurt, he couldn't eat anything, and he had to force a laugh and greet the guests.

............

To make a long story short, at three o'clock, the banquet was almost dispersed.

Although most of the people still went back to the inn by themselves after they were full of wine and food, there were also many rough men who "drank and lay like corpses", and these had to be carried out by the Cao Gang.

And just when the minions of the Cao Gang worked overtime overnight to clean up the mess, Di Buti was also cleaning up another "mess".

............

Squeak –

With the sound of the doorshaft turning, Di Buti pushed open the door of a teahouse and stepped inside.

The teahouse is spacious and brightly lit.

At this moment, there were already five people sitting inside waiting for him.

Who these five are, you must be able to guess them: Lu Kang, the owner of the Chivalrous Gate, and his senior sister Lei Sanniang, Lu Yan, the owner of the Zhongyi Gate, and his brother Lu Shiyuan, and Shao Dejin, the master of the Xingyi Gate.

Di Tireless invited them to discuss the ambush of their disciples by killers.

This matter, after all, was made by Di Butti's sister-in-law Ruan, although the matter has not been revealed now, but obviously there is no "end", if Di Butti does not strike while the iron is hot to settle this matter, not only will his plan to be the head of the door be blocked, but it may even be unfavorable to his "nephew" Di Gui one day in the future.

Therefore, at the banquet today, Di Buti was greeting the guests, while secretly thinking about how to expose the matter......

His city government was still resourceful, and it didn't take long for him to have an idea, so he sent someone to invite the four members of the Chivalrous Gate and the Zhongyi Gate to the teahouse after the banquet.

As for that Shao Dejin...... In fact, no one invited him, he saw Lord Lu Men and them go to the back hall after the banquet, so he followed himself.

Now, there is really no need for Shao Dejin to come, because Lin Yuancheng has already turned his face against him and is no longer a member of his Xingyi Sect, what position does he have to seek "justice" for Lin Yuancheng again? But everyone understands this person surnamed Shao...... The heart of the villain, he thinks that there is a advantage to take advantage of in this matter, and if he doesn't come, he will lose.

So Shao Dejin not only came, but also very arrogant, he looked at Di Buti, who had just entered the house, and was the first to speak: "Di Gang Master has such a big shelf, let's wait." ”

Others won't say this, even the bitter and vengeful Lei Sanniang won't say it, because they all understand that Di Buti will come late, and it is also to entertain those fellow Jianghu outside;

There is only that Shao Dejin, who has to find this kind of very low stubble, as if he came to such a sentence, Di Buti lost the truth and owed him something.

"Di, I still have to take into account the ...... of the faces of these four doors and three gangs" Sure enough, when Di Buti took his seat, he sneered at each other, "I'm not like some people, I can't do it inside, and I almost lose face." ”

"Hmph!" Shao Dejin slapped the coffee table when he heard this, "The surname is Di, what is your identity?" Old Master Lu is still sitting here, when will it be your turn to face the faces of the four doors and three gangs......

"Okay, okay......" Unexpectedly, it was Lu Yan who interrupted him in the next second, "The old man of the Shao Sect has the kindness of the old man, but I am afraid that I can't afford it." ”

Although this Lu Yan is old, his brain is not confused.

What was the occasion when Shuang Harmonic talked about this before? It was above the Seven Heroes Society-the big court, the eyes of everyone, and the thousands of eight hundred fellow people in the rivers and lakes were watching, then they could use this set of "Etiquette" to set up Di Buti.

But what kind of occasion is it now? This is the back hall of the Cao Gang's chief helmsman, and several heads and deputy heads of the four sects and three gangs are negotiating in private...... Are you stupid?

"Eh, you ......" Shao Dejin didn't expect that he would be blocked by Lu Yan, and a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face.

Di Buti was really too lazy to talk to this waste, and directly ignored him, and continued: "Everyone, there are no outsiders here at the moment, only a few of our sects related to 'that incident', so Di Mou will also say it directly if he has something to say......" He paused, "I can swear to the heavens that the killers will be sent to attack and kill Senior Nephew Ge, Senior Nephew Guo, and Lin Shaoxia, it is definitely not me Di, if this statement is false, I am willing to be begged for my life by a powerful ghost, I will not die well, and I will fall into the eighteenth layer of hell and never be able to live forever." ”

"Ha! Joke!" Before the other party's words fell, Shao Dejin laughed and said, "Can a poisonous oath be used as evidence?

However, Lu Kang, Lei Sanniang and the Lu brothers did not laugh.

If Shao Dejin swears by this today, no one will believe it, but Di Buti said this...... The credibility is not low.

The reason is very simple - Shao Dejin is a villain, and Di Buti is a hero.

The villain has the convenience of the villain, and the hero has the burden of the hero.

A person like Di Buti is arrogant and self-respecting, and how ruthless he is in the methods of others is, how obsessed he is with self-worship.

It's not surprising if you want to say that Di Buti would do something shady behind his back, and then deny it in front of people, but if you want to say that he would swear by his life, or even the curse of the next life, he should not be able to do it......

Even if he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and he is not afraid of ghosts and gods, as long as there is a slight possibility...... The curse would be fulfilled, and he wouldn't put himself at risk.

Moreover, Di Buti was right in what he said on the stage of the Seven Heroes: With the current strength of the Cao Gang, as long as everything is as usual, the head of the sect is undoubtedly in his pocket, what reason does he have to plot against those juniors? Whether this plot is successful or not, it will not do him any good, it will only harm him.

"Hmm...... Lu also believes that this thing was not done by you. After a moment of silence, Lu Yan also ignored Shao Dejin and said directly to Di Buti, "It's just ......"

"It's just that this matter is in the realm of my Cao Gang, and as the leader of the gang, I should give you an 'explanation'. Di Buti took Lu Yan's words and said, "This...... Naturally, I understand. He pretended not to know who the murderer was, and said, "But it takes time to find out the truth, and even if it takes time, there may not be a ...... truth."

The second half of his sentence, they also understand it.

At that time, the government had a lot of unclear murders, not to mention the rivers and lakes and green forest roads.

For example, a disciple of Sect A and a disciple of Sect B met by chance on a deserted mountain path, and the two got into an argument, and then one of them killed the other and kicked the body down the mountain...... How can I find out about this?

As long as the murderer is not mentioned to anyone again, who will know the whereabouts of the deceased? The corpse fell at the bottom of the cliff, and it was very likely that it would be eaten by wild beasts in less than half a day, why is there such a coincidence in this world, and someone happened to find the corpse at the bottom of the cliff in half a day...... Even if someone really found the body, that person might not go to the police to report it; why would people get into a lawsuit for a human life that had nothing to do with them? What if the local government directly arrested the person who reported to the official as a murderer and tortured him to death for the sake of closing the case? This kind of thing was also very common at that time.

In short, in the evil old society, there are so many murders that cannot be solved, and Di Buti's sentence "There may not be the truth"...... Nothing else, it's very real.

"Then the death of my son Ge Shi...... Is it so unclear and unreasonable?" Lei Sanniang categorically unacceptable to this kind of answer.

"Senior Sister Lei, don't be impatient. Di Buti replied, "I said, check ...... Naturally, I'll still look into it, but I can't guarantee how long it will take, let alone what the results will be. When he said this, the conversation changed, "Let's take a step back and say, even if one day, I find out the real culprit and hand it over to Senior Sister Lei, you will not be able to come back from the dead." ”

"Then what do you mean...... Lei Sanniang's anger came up a little again, and her tone suddenly became very impulsive again, "Let me mourn smoothly?"

"No, ......no, no," Di said tirelessly, "I just want to persuade Senior Sister Lei, the future will be long, don't be angry for the revenge that can't be avenged at this time and place......"

The words are all good words, and Lei Sanniang is not good at scolding the street with these words, so she can only snort coldly: "Hmph...... My body is still very strong, and I don't bother with the help of Laudy. ”

Seeing that the most difficult sufferer had been stabilized, Di Buti stopped repeating himself on this matter, and immediately raised his hand and slapped it twice.

As soon as the applause ended, a few Cao Gang members at the back of the teahouse lifted the curtain and carried out two large boxes with a hum.

Knock –

Knock –

The sound of these two boxes hitting the ground is very similar, and ordinary people may not be able to hear the difference, but in the ears of these masters, it is obvious which one is heavier and which is slightly lighter.

"In any case, this time Master Ge's nephew was killed in my Cao Gang's territory after all, and those killers are also here to blame me......" Di Buti continued, "So, no matter what Di says, it is difficult to escape the blame." He raised his hand and pointed to the heavier box, and said to Lu Kang and Lei Sanniang, "This box of things can be regarded as a little bit of Di's heart for Master Ge's nephew and the chivalrous sect, more or less...... I hope the two of you will take care of it. ”

Ranked, there is a way to be a sake red face, and the wealth is moving.

Di Buti's words are all reasonable: Now that the person is dead, you will not be able to find the murderer for a while, and even if you find it in the future, you will not be able to bring Ge Shi back to life. However, the box of "affordable" in front of you is within reach.

In addition, Di Buti already knew before today: the financial situation of the Chivalry Sect in the past few years has been quite bad, because there have been no decent talents among their younger generation for a long time, resulting in their local power has never developed much, and it is a little difficult to even hold on to their original business...... In this case, this large box of belongings can be said to be a charcoal in the snow, at least it can solve their urgent needs.

Sure enough, at this moment, Lu Kang looked at the box and immediately threw a look that was almost pleading at his Senior Sister Lei.

Lord Lu is the most aware of the current situation of the Chivalry Sect, and their actual situation is actually worse than what Di Tireless has inquired about, so they really need this money......

As for Lei Sanniang, she really wanted to choke back, "Could it be that my son's life was bought with this box of money", but when she saw Lu Kang's eyes, she still couldn't help it.

Thinking about it calmly, even if she tries to force Di Tirelessly, I'm afraid she won't get any better results, and she still has to rely on the Cao Gang to help her find the murderer, so it is not good to further deteriorate the relationship between the two parties.

So, Lei Sanniang weighed it and finally ...... Silently nodded at Lu Kang.

If Lu Kang was granted amnesty, he tirelessly arched his hand and said, "Di Gang Master...... That's too polite. ”

Lao Lu just pretended to refuse, which is a regular process.

As soon as Di Buti heard this, he knew that it was done, and immediately showed a cheerful smile: "Haha...... Where is Lord Lumen, it should be, it should be!"

After saying that, he turned to Lu Yan's side again, and continued: "Master of the General Gate, on the stage today, Di was impulsive and said something unpleasant...... Although you have a lot of money, you shouldn't bother with my junior, but ......" he pointed to the light box again, "I still hope you can accept this little heart." ”

"Hehe......" Seeing this, Lu Yan smirked twice, "The head of the Di Gang is serious, my two factions are already like a family, and after the Zhongyi Sect came to Dengzhou, they were treated by the Cao Gang, how can the old man be embarrassed to ...... again"

"Hey~" Di Buti interrupted the old man's polite words, "This box is not only to make amends for the Lord of the Lu Gate, but also to the nephew of Guo, you should accept it for the sake of the juniors." ”

"Hmm......" Lu Yan and Lu Shiyuan beside him exchanged glances slightly, and then replied, "Okay, then the old man might as well be respectful." ”

Don't look at these guys blowing their beards and glaring at the Seven Heroes during the day, saying all kinds of ugly things, and almost fighting...... At this point, they all said that if they changed their faces, they would change their faces.

This is the rivers and lakes.

Where are there so many "chivalrous" on the rivers and lakes, and the vast majority of them here are just "people".

People who have been in this big dye vat for a long time will most likely have several "faces", and they all understand the truth that "those who know the times are handsome".

Maybe they were also righteous when they were young, but when they became "seniors", "masters", "heads", and "celebrities", they had to start talking about interests.

And speaking of this interest......

"Uh-huh!" Shao Dejin, who had been sitting on the side for a long time and no one had paid attention to him, was already a little anxious at this time, and he couldn't help but clear his throat loudly, wanting Di Buti to quickly take out his share.

Correct......

"Master Shao, is there anything wrong with you?" Di Buti looked at him coldly, his expression seemed to say, "Why are you still here."

Shao Dejin also made a mockery: "Gang Master Di, don't pretend to be stupid, give me an 'explanation' for Xingyimen?"

"Explain what?" Di Buti's tone remained unchanged, "Isn't Lin Yuancheng your enemy? Your enemy has been plotted, and others still have to explain to you?"

"This ......" the corners of Shao Dejin's mouth twitched, and he held back a sentence for a long time, "He...... When he was plotted, he was still a member of my Xingyi Sect. ”

"What is said ......" Di Bu tirelessly picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea, and then replied leisurely, "The daughter who marries out, can she find another bachelor to receive another dowry?"

His example is a bit strange, but it means the same.

The other four people also looked at Shao Dejin coldly, and they didn't mean to help him speak.

Shao Dejin's face turned blue with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay...... Okay, Di Gang Master, Shao wrote it down...... Humph!" he stood up, turned and walked out, "Farewell!"

And until he went out, Di Buti didn't look up at him.
