Chapter 21: The Rules of the Iron Law Gang
Xiaohai was tired from rescuing people the night before, so he rested at the inn for a day. The next day, the three of them got up early and set off. Since Yangzhou belongs to the territory of the Iron Law Gang, the three of them went separately and turned outside the city.
The master and apprentice left the inn first, and before they left the city, someone in the city exchanged words from time to time: "Have you heard, last night the prefect rescued those kidnapped little girls in a courtyard in the eastern suburbs." ”
"Yes, Master Cui is still really blue, and he solved the case so quickly. But ah, I heard that the girls had been rescued when Master Cui arrived, and the kidnappers had all been killed, and I didn't even know who killed these little girls. He must be a hero. ”
"What kind of hero, there are still people who do good deeds without asking for anything in return, I think eighty percent of them are the ones who fought and killed each other in the end. ”
"Alas... Brother can't say that, those girls said that someone saved them, I believe that there are still good people in this world. ”
"Did you find out what the details of the kidnapping were found?"
"No, but there is a wanted criminal in the government called Ma Sigui's flower thief, and it's good to be dead, it's really happy. It seems that there is another person who is said to have something to do with the Chun Nuan Pavilion.,I don't know if the adults can find out.。 ”
"Hey, whatever, as long as no one does anything hurtful anymore, just affect our ordinary boss's surname. Let's just wait for the announcement from these officials. ”
Hearing too much gossip like this on the road, Xiao Hai felt proud in his heart, he didn't want others to know that he saved those girls, after all, the Iron Law Gang is such a big gang that it is impossible not to take revenge, he doesn't want to make trouble for himself, so when he saves people, he covers his face and tells those girls that he doesn't know who saved them.
When I went out of the city and saw Monsoon, Master said, "Monsoon, did you only come into contact with these people when you came?"
Monsoon said, "When I came, it was true that there were only those people in the courtyard, and no one else had seen them. This Ye Sandao is actually the hall master of the Iron Law Gang in Yangzhou, mainly responsible for running the dock and Qinglou business here. And as far as I know, the courtyard in the eastern suburbs was bought in his name, and it should be easy for them to check if they want to come to the yamen to check. However, the Iron Law Gang has an iron law, if they commit something in their own territory, then they have to carry all the things, and the laws they violate have nothing to do with the Iron Law Gang, so they have a very strict process when making accounts and contacting the capital. This may also be the reason why Ji Changfeng didn't kidnap the girl on his own territory, for fear that the matter would be exposed and affect himself. The iron law stipulates that if someone betrays the gang, then the gang will be destroyed. Therefore, most of the cases of kidnapping girls ended in Yangzhou City. ”
Xiao Hai was taken aback when he heard this, and then said in an atmosphere: "It's not a disaster for my wife and children, even my children know about this!"
Ji Feng smiled and said, "Xiaohai, you are still young, and you still have too little experience in the rivers and lakes. The Valley of the Wicked is an example, an independent river and lake that was created due to specific conditions. But in this whitewashed peaceful and prosperous world we live in, the things that kill people at least and destroy people at worst have never stopped. It's not just the government's full slaughter, but even the battles in the rivers and lakes. It's just that the imperial court has always only allowed state officials to set fires, and it is not allowed to fight and kill the people in the rivers and lakes. ”
Xiao Hai said: "I understand the truth, and Master once said it. It's just that I still can't understand how angry people can be when they fall to the ground, and how innocent people can be harmed. The Iron Law Gang can destroy people because of their exposure of themselves, and I think that as long as this gang exists, the world will never be called a peaceful and prosperous world. ”
Master Youshu looked at Xiao Hai distressedly, he knew that if Xiao Hai was willing to choose when he grew up, then he would face things that were still difficult for him to understand.
The master said: "Xiaohai, it doesn't matter if you can't understand it now, or even if you can't understand it forever, but you have to stick to your morality, and if you don't want you to be able to settle the injustices in the world, you can do what you think is right." ”
Xiao Hai nodded deeply. Xiao Hai suddenly said: "Master, you are so serious, I am almost uncomfortable." ”
The master slapped Xiao Hai on the back of the head angrily.
Then he said to Monsoon: "Monsoon, you can be regarded as betraying the Iron Law Gang now, what do you think?"
Ji Feng said: "Master, now that the hall in Yangzhou has been destroyed, the first suspect is me." But I have to go back, I want to see if the Iron Law Gang framed me, and I want to find out who was able to quietly poison me in the first place, and if this person is plotting against me, then I will already be very lucky. I'm not afraid of the retaliation of the Iron Law Gang, it's a big deal to leave, and from then on wandering the world again, even if the Valley of the Wicked finds me, I will die, I have lived in vain for so many years, and I am satisfied. ”
Master said, "Well, if someone really leaks the news of the Valley of the Wicked, then this matter cannot be left unsettled. Let's go to Chongzhou this time to check on him, if it's just a coincidence to find you, then it's okay, if someone deliberately frames you, then we will find a way to find out who fell to the ground. In addition, no matter what the outcome is, you can't be in Chongzhou, no matter what the outcome of things in Chongzhou is, you can go to Wuyou Town in the future, where the territory is remote, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find you. ”
The footsteps of the three people are fast, Chongzhou is only more than 400 miles away from Yangzhou City, and it is two days to Chongzhou City in a blink of an eye, Chongzhou City is bigger than Yangzhou, there are many waterways, and it is closer to the sea than Yangzhou City. On the way, the monsoon gave a detailed description of the situation of the Tielu Gang in Lower Chongzhou.
The Iron Law Gang in Chongzhou is much more high-profile than in Yangzhou. In Chongzhou City, the Iron Law Gang has a big mansion. It is said that it is already the largest mansion in Chongzhou City, and it is extremely luxurious, like a soil emperor, and Ji Dada is responsible for all the business in Yangzhou and Chongzhou. And the prevention and control inside is very strict, ten steps and one soldier, five steps and one sentry. It's very tight. The Iron Law Gang is extremely powerful in Chongzhou, with many minions and masters.
It is almost impossible to trouble him rashly and get out of the way. Since Monsoon lives here all year round, and the Iron Law Gang has many minions, the three of them split up for fear of causing unnecessary trouble. The master and apprentice are living people, and they go directly to the city to find an inn to rest. Monsoon acts alone, and then the three of them in the re-round. The three agreed that Monsoon would go to the Iron Law Gang alone to find out the situation.
The master and apprentice entered the city first, and Monsoon entered the city after almost half an hour, and as soon as Monsoon entered the city, he found that someone was secretly observing him in the alley. Monsoon knew it was a minion of the Iron Law Gang. Monsoon didn't pay any attention to it, and walked directly towards the Chongzhou Mansion of the Iron Law Gang. After walking for about a stick of incense, finally by a river, a gate appeared, and the courtyard behind the gate was at least more than 30 zhang around, and at a glance it seemed that the whole street belonged to this one.
The plaque in front of the door gilt two big characters "Ji Fu". The whole body of the crimson gate, there are corner gates on both sides, and there are two high stone lions of the town under the more than a dozen steps, which is simply magnificent.
Before Ji Feng went up the steps, suddenly the corner door opened, and a person who looked like a housekeeper trotted in front of Ji Feng and bowed: "Ji Yingying, why are you back? Everything in Yangzhou has been done?" This housekeeper, called Ji Changfu, is dressed in blue and black, with a felt hat on his head, a medium figure, and a shiny face. They met when Monsoon first came to Jifu, and the two knew each other at that time. Ji Feng thought to himself, the three of us had been delayed for a day in Yangzhou City, and we had taken the dry road, maybe the news didn't come back?
Ji Feng said: "Chang Fu, your master is in the mansion? I have something to find him!"
Ji Changfu said: "Monsoon hero, it's really unfortunate, our lord went out early in the morning, and he hasn't said anything about coming back, or you should go to the house to rest first, I believe that the lord will come back after finishing things." ”
Monsoon asked, "What did your master do?"
Ji Changfu said: "This villain doesn't know, but our master has told me that if you come back, you must ask you to return to the house, and wait for his old man to come back and then give you a reminiscence!" Ji Feng thought in his heart, this matter can't wait, and it will change late.
Then he said angrily: "Where did your master go? I went to him myself, what kind of errand did he throw at Lao Tzu, and almost put his life on the line! I must let him give me an explanation!"
Ji Changfu said: "Ouch, feed my Ji Daxia, our lord is really no longer in the house, our lord will never tell the little one where he goes, you dissipate your anger first, go to the mansion to rest first, my lord believes that he will come back soon." And our master said that he would leave you behind, and I also asked Ji Daxia not to be embarrassed. ”
Ji Feng looked at Ji Changfu's anxious appearance, and couldn't see any flaws, thinking that he should not stay here, go back and discuss with the master what to do next, and wait for Ji Changda to come back after returning home.
Ji Feng said: "I won't bother here anymore, I'll go back first, if Ji Chang comes back, tell him that I am going to visit tomorrow morning, please be sure to wait for me at the house." ”
After saying that, Ji Feng was about to leave, but Ji Changfu suddenly grabbed Ji Feng and said: "Ji Daxia, I'm really sorry, our master has explained, no matter what, let you wait for him to come back in the mansion, please follow me in." "As he spoke, he was going to drag the monsoon to the house.
Ji Feng said: "Ji Changfu, what are you doing here? Are you afraid that I won't be able to escape? Why do you have to let me enter the mansion? If your master is not here, I will come back tomorrow." Ji Changfu took a T-shaped step as soon as his body was right, and slapped his palms twice, and at this time, more than 20 minions with single knives came out of the side door one after another, these minions were all dressed in black, and all of them were fierce and vicious. The monsoon was enclosed in an instant.
At this time, Ji Changfu said: "Monsoon, our master confessed when he left, if you come back, I will invite you back to the house to wait for him." If you refuse to go home, then we will tie you up and help you back! I advise you to go back with us obediently, otherwise you will not blame me for being polite!"
Ji Feng looked at these twenty minions and snorted: "Ji Changfu, do you think you can leave me behind with just a few minions? Do you want to try it?"
As he spoke, Ji Feng drew his long sword and pointed at Ji Changfu. Ji Changfu first sneered: "How can you know if you don't try, brothers, the master said that as long as you live!" As soon as the words fell, the twenty or so people rushed towards the monsoon. When Monsoon saw so many people, he didn't panic at all, and he raised his sword first to stab the five people who came forward, and Monsoon only had one sword, so he could only stab at the person in front. The man didn't dare to slack off when he saw the sword stabbing coming, and he was ready to dodge the sword to the side, but he never expected that Ji Feng's sword was too fast, and before he could dodge the sword, it would directly penetrate his neck. Monsoon's footsteps didn't stop, and there were four people next to him who raised their knives together to chop Monsoon, Monsoon's hand withdrew the sword, and then the horizontal sword of the four people blocked outward, and then the movement in his hand did not stop, and after shaking the four knives out, the wrist was forced, and the sword was changing direction, and after withdrawing, he swept directly according to the next three roads of the four people, brushed a sword, and broke four legs.
Monsoon didn't dare to pause, his footsteps moved to the side, and then directly illuminated the open space in front of him. At this time, he looked back and saw that six more people had fallen in the place where he had just jumped out.
If the monsoon slows down, it will be chopped into puree. Ji Feng was ruthless in his heart, the six-person knife had not been raised, and the jue of the monsoon flew directly over, and an arrow was more than two feet away, directly in front of the six, and then Ji Feng held the sword in his right hand and swept it over the necks of the six people. The six of them couldn't dodge, and a blood line appeared on each of their necks and fell to the ground. Eleven people fell to the ground in the midst of lightning and fire.
At this time, these minions didn't dare to go up, each holding a knife and then looking at Ji Changfu at Ji Feng. Ji Feng sneered: "There are still people who can't die? Ji Changfu, I know you're going to have two shots, do you want to try it?"
Ji Changfu sneered: "Ji Daxia is really skilled, but I still say that, go back to the house with me and wait for our master to come back, during which I will definitely treat you as a VIP, and I don't care about the fact that you killed and injured my brother, if not, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”
Ji Feng looked at Ji Changfu and said with a smile: "It's useless to talk too much, don't ask your subordinates to send me to death, you can capture me personally." ”
After speaking, he pointed his sword at Ji Changfu. Ji Changfu sneered, and then after a while, other minions came up. Monsoon laughed at these people for coming up to die, and he raised his sword and stabbed at the person closest to him.
The minions had become extremely cautious after the monsoon had killed and wounded eleven of them just now, and had taken a step forward and two steps back. Seeing the monsoon sword coming, he was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, the monsoon sword fell into the air, and he was surprised, but he couldn't let him think too much about it, at this time, there were four knives next to him, he held the sword horizontally in his right hand and opened it upward, and then his footsteps did not stop, and he fell down, and rolled on the spot according to the four people.
At the same time, the sword in his hand kept sweeping along the next three paths of the four people, and these four people knew that it was not good to jump back the moment he rolled forward, but the sword of the monsoon was too fast, and the sword still swept the legs of the four people, and the legs of the four people were saved, but the depth of the wound made them unable to fight again.
At the same time that these four people fell to the ground, Ji Feng hurriedly had a cold wind on the back of the knife, Ji Feng did not look back, the sword in his right hand suddenly turned back, and then swept behind his back, and he heard the sound of the bell, Ji Feng did not dare to look back, took a step forward, and then turned around and swept the sword, and the moment he turned around, he saw that it was Ji Changfu who attacked him with a soft sword.
This season, Chang Fu is also quick-eyed, and the sword swept towards his neck, and he quickly retreated and dodged the sword. At the same time that Ji Changfu dodged Monsoon's sword, Monsoon's feet were already on land, and then Monsoon suddenly stabbed at Ji Changfu again. Seeing Ji Changfu's wrist shake, the soft sword stabbed towards the monsoon in a spiral, the monsoon was originally sprinting forward, and at this time, he didn't dare to be careless when he saw the sword stabbing at this time, the tip of the sword was slightly upward, and he touched the head of the soft sword, and the soft sword was disguised.
Ji's sword was slightly upward, but it changed direction slightly, and then he used his wrist again to change the direction of the sword back to the direction of the straight stab, and Ji Changfu came. But Ji Feng Chang Fu's wrist also flicked, and the tip of the soft sword also just turned around and stabbed directly into Ji Feng's arm. Monsoon's arm instantly ached, and he quickly jumped out of the circle.
Seeing that there was a slit in his arm, and a trace of blood leaked out, he felt the atmosphere in his heart, he didn't expect this software to be so varied. He just wanted to raise his sword and fight again, but his eyes were dizzy, and he quickly settled down, the sword was poisonous!
At this time, Ji Changfu laughed and said: "Ji Daxia, your martial arts are world-famous, but I can't defeat you by some abnormal means, the rivers and lakes, the one who can stand is the hero, you have been poisoned by me, so let's catch it obediently!"
Ji Feng scolded his mother angrily, but he knew that he couldn't fight anymore, so he turned around and ran, but he was dizzy and soon caught up by his minions, and he forced his mind to fall to the ground after putting down the two people, unconscious.
