Sister-in-law Jiang said: "There is only one person I have seen with my own eyes, and this person has not been back for a long time, and it has only been more than a month, and he also has an accident in Xiangzhou in the north." In this way, when you see people with your own eyes, all of them are gone. ”

Chu Qingliu said: "That day, the third sister said that Brother Jiang was in Shuzhou in the east, can you still remember what day it was?"

Sister-in-law Jiang said: "Remember, it was the Dragon Festival on the second spring of February, and he worshiped the Dragon King." Before February, I got a murderous letter. I asked the old dart head, and he said it was February 17th. ”

Chu Qingliu said: "Senior sister-in-law Jiang, you don't need to ask the old dart head about this matter anymore, he hasn't been able to find out for so many days, and he must have his difficulties." You leave it all to me, as long as there is a day, a moment, and a direction, as long as Senior Brother Jiang is fighting with the Rebel Alliance, I will be able to figure out this matter. Senior Brother Jiang's appearance, what do you recognize?"

Sister-in-law Jiang said: "He is also quite tall, his hands and feet are very big, and there is nothing else on his face, but there is a lotus flower tattooed on his back." ”

For fear of upsetting her, Chu Qingliu didn't want to ask too much. said: "The matter of finding Senior Brother Jiang's body will be left to me." You don't have to go to work in the dart bureau anymore, whether you go to Wanghaizhuang or not, you quit tomorrow. Seeing that Sister-in-law Jiang nodded and agreed, she took out a dozen taels of silver and put them on the table, and said goodbye and left.

went out, returned to the courtyard of the second maid, and ordered them to send a message to Xuedian Town, Taiping Prefecture, and asked Qu Lingyu to inquire about who was working with the Kainan Dart Bureau in Shuzhou in February. Have you ever killed a person and cut off your head, has there been a headless corpse with a lotus flower tattooed on its back? If so, find the head and body and stitch it up, and use the coffin to collect it, this person is Jiang Zhan's father.

The explanation is clear and clear, and then it comes back to the dart game. Entering the gate, I vaguely thought that I had been accepting Jiang Zhan as a disciple for more than 20 days, although I didn't intend to hide it, but I didn't tell Mei Hongtai and his son that it was already inconsistent with etiquette, not to mention that I would have to search for the body on behalf of him in the future, and I had to ask the Kainan Dart Bureau to escort the two of them to Wanghaizhuang to live?

Thinking of this, he ordered his family to invite Mei Zhanxue, saying that he wanted to see the old dart head and had something to say. When the two came to the hall, it happened that the old dart head Mei Hongtai and Wei Shuoren were all there, and the young dart head Mei Zhanfeng was all there, and Chu Qingliu explained everything one by one.

Regarding the apprenticeship, Mei Hongtai applauded repeatedly, saying that he couldn't ask for it. Speaking of Jiang Changting's death and the inability to find the body, Mei Hongtai sighed for a long time before he said: "I haven't forgotten all about it, it's too difficult to do, and I don't have a clue." Changting, this kid, has been with me for more than ten years, and he is the most dedicated to his work. As soon as you arrived in Jiangling, I also thought about asking you to inquire, but the two families are now temporarily stopping the truce, I am afraid that as soon as I mention this matter, the chaotic alliance will misunderstand again, so I didn't say it. This time, it's okay, there is Chu Xian's nephew looking for it on his behalf, so it's okay to forget about my heart. ”

Speaking of taking Jiang's sister-in-law and daughter to live in Wanghaizhuang, Mei Hongtai said: "The two of them are here, no matter how much I take care of them, there are times when I can't take care of them." It's much better to go to Wanghaizhuang, which is a good thing. He promised to send someone to escort the mother and daughter.

Chu Qingliu was about to say goodbye, Mei Hongtai said: "Nephew Chu Xian, the eastern branch reported that Miss Qu Lingyu picked up Mr. Jiang's coffin in Guazhou, and brought more than 100 carpenters to look around, what is this for?"

Chu Qingliu said: "I came out this time, originally to go to Guazhou to find out the murderer who hurt my father-in-law. Halfway through, I heard about the Gangneung side, so I turned to this side. He told Qu Lingyu the idea of identifying the coffin and finding the location of Jiang Yuefu's victimization. He also said: "Where Senior Sister Qu is right now, where is the place where my father-in-law was killed." ”

Mei Hongtai nodded again and again, and said: "Qu Guanghan's daughter is really not simple, and there is really nothing difficult in her hands. She has done everything to this extent, and it stands to reason that outsiders should be able to guess her intentions, but I still have to listen to what you say in person, so that I can have no doubts in my heart. Nephew Chu Xian, if I really join forces with the Kongtong faction, you won't blame me, right?"

Chu Qingliu said: "Uncle Mei, whether to join forces or not, it's up to you to make your own decisions." When I said that I wanted to make a covenant and ask for witnesses, I just wanted to make this matter more just, and no one would suffer. If you don't want to tell them, I'll say it. ”

Mei Zhanfeng said: "What if the Righteous Blood Hall is also added? I won't tell you, just last night, someone from the Righteous Blood Hall also came, saying that they wanted to form an alliance, and my father and Mr. Wei were discussing this matter with me." What do you think about this?"

Chu Qingliu said: "The alliance of the three families is a great thing for the dart bureau, and a big bad thing for the chaotic alliance. If the three of you form an alliance, you don't even need to make a covenant, and you don't need to ask for any more witnesses. After defeating the Rebel Alliance, no matter whether the Kongtong faction Yixuetang divides the rivers and lakes equally, or in the end, they can only leave one, and the dart game will be safe. None of them will make a move with the dart game first, but will show favor to the dart game, there is no doubt about it. Since it is a great thing for you, even if Zhang Yi and Su Qin are reborn, they will not be able to prevent the three of you from forming an alliance and joining forces, because if you don't agree, no one will believe it. I will not hinder it, I should not hinder it. ”

Mei Zhanxue said: "Why did the Righteous Blood Hall come to form an alliance at this time, wouldn't it be better for them to wait and see if we fight?"

Chu Qingliu said: "Maybe I can't push the main hall master for a while, and I want to find someone to fight and see who is the material for the main hall master." As soon as the three families form an alliance, gangs like the Iron Boat Gang will inevitably try to join the alliance, and in the future, the Chaos Alliance will be struggling, if not an inch. ”

Wei Shuoren said: "In your opinion, what will the father and daughter of the Qu family do?"

Chu Qingliu said: "What they will do, I can't guess, their approach will inevitably be different from what I thought." ”

Mei Hongtai said: "Isn't there any harm in forming an alliance with the three families?"

Chu Qingliu said: "Such a good thing, what else is Uncle Mei worried about? According to you, what bad things can be here?"

Mei Hongtai said: "This thing seems too good, it doesn't seem to be true, I can't believe it, so I hesitated." "It seems to be all from the heart, but there is no dry goods at all.

Chu Qingliu said: "If you want to talk about the disadvantages, it's not all of them. After the incident in Helan Mountain, the reputation of the Kongtong faction and Wuzang Sayi has been very bad, and there are not a few warriors in the Central Plains who hate them. They had detained more than 200 people, and each family faction had no more than four or five people, that is, these 200 people were at least seventy or eighty large and small sects. There are more than 60 people who have died because of this, and I don't need to say more about how many people will hate the Kongtong faction because of this. ”

"As for the Righteous Blood Hall, Qu Dingxiang killed Su Xianbai Su Daxia, but the Righteous Blood Hall did not dare to declare Qu Dingxiang's crimes, did not dare to avenge Su Daxia's grievances, and blindly prevaricated and covered up, how much hatred did this have to arouse? Not to mention that the Yixue Hall had tried in Xiaolong Valley to deceive fellow martial artists with fake scriptures before? These things, no one can easily forget. ”

"Forming an alliance with such two families will inevitably damage the reputation of the dart game, and it will also openly and secretly attract enemies for itself. But in the world, there are good and bad things. The benefits are all visible and knowable, and the harms are future and undecided. An alliance with two families still has more advantages and fewer disadvantages. As long as the old dart head can restrain the people in the dart game to fight only with the chaotic alliance, and in addition, if there is no more trouble, the clear will be cleared, and the turbid will be turbid, and everyone can still tell the difference. ”

Wei Shuoren said: "Second brother, the three families are aligned, what will you do?"

Chu Qingliu said: "I won't sit idly by. I will never do anything with the eldest brother, not with the third sister, not with the old dart head and the young dart head, I only ask the Kongtong faction to talk to the righteous blood hall. Old darthead, eldest brother, brother Mei, third sister, I will leave Jiangling tomorrow, Jiang's mother and daughter, I will also take it away along the way, no need to be friends of the Labor Dart Bureau. ”

Mei Zhanxue said: "Second brother, don't you want to know who is from the Righteous Blood Hall?"

Chu Qingliu said: "Among the Seven Swords of Righteous Blood, as long as it is not the Zhenyang Sword Miao Fen, whoever comes will be the same." This Miao Fen is too impatient, not very easy to talk about, not enough success, and more than failure. ”

Mei Zhanxue said: "It's Tongyue Sword Yang Zhenshi, who destroyed the Sword Bear Laser, as well as Su Yiyue and Gongqi. ”

Chu Qingliu said: "Yang Zhenshi and Xiong Laser came together, it seems that the heart of the Righteous Blood Hall is very strong. I can't say anything to Miss Su, as for Gongqi, he came, I can't just say that the Gongshi Uncle of Kunlun Mountain agrees with this matter, he is him, and the Kunlun faction is the Kunlun faction, and there is a big difference between them. ”

Mei Zhanxue said: "Don't you want to meet them?"

Chu Qingliu shook his head: "Seeing them, I don't have anything to say, and they are probably the same." Even so, it is better not to see it, so as not to be embarrassed. ”

Mei Hongtai said: "Nephew Chu Xian, if you say this, just leave, people who know will say that you have something to do in Yangzhou." If you don't know, I'm going to say that I don't know how to be a man, and a few days ago I want to make a covenant and ask for a witness, so I'll leave you here, and I don't need to ask for a witness, so I won't want to keep you for another day. ”

Mei Zhanfeng also said: "Xiaozhan mother and daughter, if you want to return the house, you want to sell the furniture, and you will leave tomorrow, which is too hasty." There is Miss Qu in Yangzhou, and she will not make a mistake. Brother Chu, you will leave in a few days. ”

Chu Qingliu didn't refuse well, and agreed with his mouth. asked Mei Zhanxue to send someone to Jiang Zhan's house to clarify the inside story, and let the mother and daughter make preparations early, and then said goodbye to Wei Shuoren and returned to the small courtyard. Aunt Yu said that you can go at any time, and you don't need to take care of it in advance.

After sitting for a short time, I saw Gongqi walk into the courtyard. Wei Shuoren didn't have a good face for him at all, and ignored him, Chu Qingliu poured him tea and asked him to sit down.

Gongqi didn't touch the teacup and said, "Senior Brother Chu, I didn't do the troublesome thing. ”

Wei Shuoren said: "It's useless to talk in the vernacular, you have to come up with hard evidence." You said you didn't do it, but I still said you did it. If you didn't do it, who else could do it? Even if I wronged you and pushed it on you, what could you do?"

Gongqi said: "I can't say that I can use the Iron Branch Sword Technique, this thing must have been done by me." There will be more people who will make the iron branch swordsmanship. Just by virtue of the fee, he may not be able to distinguish the various differences in the iron branch swordsmanship. If there is no hard evidence, even if Wei Daxia kills me, it will be difficult to clear my name for Senior Brother Chu, and let people say that you have framed me. ”

Wei Shuoren nodded and said, "What you said is very true, just because I still have this concern, I didn't kill you here." If you finish speaking, please go back to where you came from, I still have something to say with my second brother. ”

Gongqi said: "I didn't finish it. I have something to say about Senior Brother Chu and the Kunlun faction, and I hope that Wei Daxia can avoid one or two. ”

Wei Shuoren nodded and praised: "The kid is still a little bold, okay, I'll fulfill you." "I really got up and left. If this person has something to say, and he is disturbed by himself, and then he wants to make a mistake because of it, it is too unworthy.

Gongqi said: "Senior Brother Chu, you can't tell others what I told you later. ”
