Originally, Fang De was ready to go back to Hangzhou by water, but Yongning was resolutely disagreeing, her reason was that the two lakes and Caoyun were Li Xiaohuan's world, and now they had offended Li Xiaohuan to death, with Li Xiaohuan's vicious character, there was a chance that they would retaliate against them, they were all a group of landlubbers, if she really let her say, then they would be miserable, although it was hard to take the land route, but at least there was no such risk, and they could also enjoy the mountains and rivers along the way, plus they were going to leave the day of their sister's return, and a major event happened on the day of their sister's return, that is, Ye Tingchen was assassinated by the people of the rivers and lakes after leaving his sister's return, the seventy-three people on the ship, without exception, no one was immune.

There was such a big case, Gao Jinzhong, who was still in his sister's return, didn't dare to be careless, and immediately took over the case, blocked all the intersections in and out of his sister's return, and began to search and investigate, Ye Tingchen was a dignified second-class member of the imperial court, and this case naturally caused a shock to the imperial court immediately, and the imperial court's statement on this was only four words: "Thorough investigation and strict handling!" After all, the governor of the rivers and lakes was stabbed, this is the first time in the Qing Dynasty, the court does not have an attitude is not good, fortunately, Gao Jinzhong's investigation is also very effective, and soon there are clues, and all the clues and spearheads are pointed to the Red Flower Society, and the most powerful evidence is Feng Daodao, he has witnessed the helmsman of the Red Flower Society, Chen Jialuo, and the three masters appeared in the sister's return on the night of Ye Tingchen's murder, and all parties in order to give an explanation to the court, this case naturally fell on the head of the Red Flower Society, and the Red Flower Society also entered the eyes of the imperial court。

Knowing that Ye Tingchen died in the hands of the Red Flower Society, Fang De could only sigh, this is simply a typical example of death, although the slogan of the Red Flower Society is to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, which is in the same vein as the Heaven and Earth Society and the Sun and Moon Society, and even inherits the inheritance of the Earth Heaven and Earth Society and the Sun and Moon Society to some extent, and is in opposition to the imperial court, but before that, it was all a small fight, and the imperial court could tolerate it, but now how can you let the imperial court endure it.

Sande and Wen Tailai and Luo Bing were speechless about this matter, if they were disgusted with what Fang De said yesterday about cutting off the heroes and heroes who opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, but now they think it is true, these people are too bold, and if they are together with these people, they will be dragged into the water by them sooner or later, so they did not go back to Hangzhou with Fang De, but went to Jiangxi Fahua Temple to meet the three elders of Shaolin, one is to discuss with them the matter of cutting off with those anti-Qing heroes, and the other is to cut Xingyin, The bone tower of the two Zen masters of the best is put into the ground, and there is such a big murder, it is naturally very inconvenient to take the waterway, so it is just like Yongning's wish to take the land route, but Yongning is also considered to be a vast supernatural power, and after returning from the sister, she got four big Wanliang horses from the post station, and the horses are branded with the government. Looking at the official horse that Yongning got over, Han Wuniang couldn't help but be full of curiosity about the origin of this tomboy who disguised herself as a man, you must know that the official horse is a strategic material strictly controlled by the imperial court, even if you are from the official palace, you can't get it without a big background.

After returning from her sister, Han Wuniang immediately felt that the four people behind her were following them from afar, she was no stranger to those four people, they were the four people who made trouble with Yongning Li Xiaohuan Huatang that day, and the person who was the leader, although she had no communication with her, was not a stranger, that person was Yue Ziping, the third junior disciple of the head of the Eight Immortals Sect, this person's hand of the Eight Immortals Sword has already made it perfect, it is said that it is no longer under the head of the Eight Immortals Sword, and the other three are not weak, fighting alone, she is not afraid of these four people, but if these four people rush up, I am afraid that she will flee in the wilderness, but fortunately, there is no hostility among these four people, just follow them from a distance, and when they go, the four people also go, and when they stop, the four people also stop.

Han Wuniang asked Yongning: "They are all your people?"

"What's all the fuss, they are just people who mix some money to support their families, if you want to follow, let them follow, if you drive them away, they will be miserable. ”

"A villain who mixes up some money to support his family?"

Those few masters of the rivers and lakes actually became breadwinners in Yongning's mouth.

Yongning followed and asked her, "Do you know how to ride a horse?"

Han Wuniang was stunned when she heard this: "Riding a horse?"

Yongning pursed his mouth: "You are a famous heroine, you can't even ride a horse, don't let me look down on you." ”

Han Wuniang smiled: "I learned a little." ”

"Do you think we are good at horse racing?" Yongning said excitedly: "I like to ride a horse the most, the feeling of the strong wind blowing in my face, that feeling is very refreshing, especially exciting, and the loser treats every day." “

Han Wuniang didn't refuse: "You think I'm going to lose to you a little girl." “

"Then Bibi?"

"Bibi is Bibi, who is afraid of whom. “

"I knew that across the forest in front of me there was a gazebo, and whoever got to the pavilion first would win. ”

"No problem. “

But what Han Wuniang didn't expect was that Yongning's girl riding skills were indeed good, as if she had grown up on horseback since she was a child, only to see her legs gently grabbing the horse's belly, and the horse ran out like an arrow, leaving Han Wuniang far behind, and then her smug laughter came from afar: "If you don't want to lose, come and chase me." "She's like a child who takes advantage of adults.

"You really thought I was going to lose to you. “

Han Wuniang rode straight after her.

When the two of them were racing, Fang De looked at the gate of his sister's return with some nostalgia, as if he was expecting something, after all, he and Li Xiaohuan had spent an unforgettable time here, although this time was not long.

Ouyang Sihai understood his thoughts: "Let's go, it's impossible for her to appear." “

Hearing Ouyang Sihai's words, Fang De actually felt a deep guilt for her in his heart, he already had a good wife who stood behind him silently without regrets, and wanted other women to do something, no matter how good other women were, they were not their own wives, rather than thinking about other women, it was better to cherish the people in front of them, and at that moment she took Ouyang Sihai's hand: "Don't worry, I won't think about it anymore, no matter how good other women are, it's not my wife, instead of thinking there, it's better to cherish the people in front of you." ”

Ouyang Sihai's heart was suddenly sweet, after so many years, she felt for the first time that her husband had finally put his mind on herself: "You don't want Li Xiaohuan anymore?"

"My wife is Ouyang Sihai, not Li Xiaohuan. ”

"Why did you suddenly want to open it. ”

"I just figured it out suddenly, okay, let's not talk about this, let's not leave, Sister Han and Na Yongning have long since run away," Fang De said with a smile: "We are also good at horse racing, we haven't run together for a long time." ”

Ouyang Sihai would not object to Fang De's proposal, in fact, she also enjoyed the excitement of galloping on a horse, but since she became a parent, she has never galloped with her husband again.

Yongning was already in trouble when the couple got on their horses and galloped, and when her horse ran through the forest in front of them, a tripwire suddenly bounced off the ground, tripping Yongning and the horse together. This fall was so heavy, Yongning felt that her whole body was in pain, and the bones in her body seemed to be falling apart, and she couldn't help but scold angrily at the moment: "Which immoral ghost is pulling the rope here?"

Before her scolding stopped, she saw that several people dressed as bandits had come out of the shadows, and the bandits led by them were holding steel knives: "The little girl is quite horizontal, it's a pity that you offended our helper, and the uncle will send you back to the west today." “

"You are Li Xiaohuan's people!"

"Uncle is a good man who sees unevenness on the road, what Li Xiaohuan, Li Dahuan's, uncle doesn't know, uncle, I just look at your bad people's marriage is not pleasing to the eye. “

"I'm not afraid that I won't recruit you. “

As she spoke, Yongning had already jumped up from the ground, and used the Seven Stars with the Moon Leg to kick the bandit who was leading, but unfortunately as soon as she jumped up, a fishing net covered the air, wrapping her tightly like a dead fish, and pulling her to the ground.

"The little girl is not honest, Lao Tzu will reward you with a knife, see if you are honest or not. “

Seeing the other party coming over with a knife, Yongning suddenly became anxious: "Don't come here, I can tell you, Gao Jinzhong, the commander of the two lakes, is my old friend, and the husband of your helper should see that he is my good brother, kill me, they won't let you go, you all have to be beheaded." “

"Uncle, I am just a green forest hero who fights unevenly, kills officials and rebels, dog officials come and cut one by one, as for what you say, you should see it, uncle, I don't know, you will die." “

The bandit's knife was raised high at Yongning.

Yongning was immediately frightened and shouted: "Sister Han, help, I'm going to die." “

Before she finished speaking, a sheathed sword had swirled and hit the bandit's chest, and the bandit immediately flew upside down and fell to the ground, and the remaining bandits saw this and immediately held a steel knife to kill the people, but the other party only swept through the thousands of troops, and kicked them all over, and then Yongning saw a middle-aged man in a green shirt with black cloth shoes on his feet.

Chen Jialuo!

Yongning smiled bitterly.

She actually met her idol in such an unlucky situation.

"Why don't you get out of here?"

The bandits immediately slipped away.

Then Chen Jialuo used his sword to pick open the fishing net on Yongning's body.

When Yongning got up from the ground, he saw Han Wuniang riding and hurrying over, and when he saw Han Wuniang, Yongning was furious: "Why did you come, I almost killed you, do you know?"

Han Wuniang explained: "You can't blame me, who made your riding skills so good, and that horse is not obedient." “

Yongning said angrily, "Why don't you say that your riding skills are bad?"

Han Wuniang said embarrassedly: "Aren't you okay with a good look, besides, someone is even slower than me, you see that the two of them have come to this point." ”

During their conversation, Fang De and Ouyang Sihai had already chased after them from behind, and when Fang De saw this, he immediately restrained his mount: "Why don't you leave, and you are all standing on the ground?"

Yongning walked over angrily: "Your old lover wants to kill me, if it weren't for the fact that Mr. Chen's helmsman touched Qi and saved me, my little life would be gone, and I would go back to settle accounts with her." ”

Fang De suddenly smiled: "Xiaohuan wants to kill you, you can't just say this, she doesn't know which way we go, how can she run in front of us?"

"It's true, don't you believe you asked Chief Helmsman Chen?"

"Really?" Fang De didn't seem to notice Chen Jialuo until now: "Thank you, Chief Helmsman Chen, for saving my little brother." ”

Chen Jialuo smiled like a spring breeze: "Can we borrow a step to speak?"

"Then go to the gazebo in front of you. ”

The tree-lined path of the pavilion in front was not too far, and when Fang De and Chen Jialuo walked into the pavilion, Ouyang Sihai, Han Wuniang, and Yongning were waiting outside the pavilion, and in the distance were the four followers of Yongning.

"I've heard Brother Fang's name for a long time, and I don't want to see it today. ”

"Chief Helmsman Chen is too polite, how can Fang De compare to Chief Helmsman Chen, Chief Helmsman Chen has killed officials and rebelled over the years, but he is very majestic. ”

Chen Jialuo suddenly smiled: "How did you hear that Brother Fang doesn't have a good impression of us in the Red Flower Society?"

"Chief Chen Helmsman misunderstood," Fang De said lightly: "I don't have a good impression of all the gangs and people in the Daomen, I heard that there has been a White Lotus Sect in Shandong recently, what is the name of the White Lotus Holy Mother, claiming to be the old mother of Li Shan to go down to earth and save sentient beings, I think it is nothing more than using the so-called doctrine to fool the so-called believers, if he just deceives some believers into offering it, I am afraid that it will be used by some people with ulterior motives to shake the social order, if so, it is a real sin and should die." ”

"Our Red Flower Society is different from the White Lotus Sect?"

They use religion to confuse people's minds and deceive offerings, and you take advantage of some people's dissatisfaction with society and their thoughts to rebel against the imperial court. ”

"Isn't Brother Fang Han?"

"Is there a difference between the Han and the Manchus, the sage of Confucius once said that if Di Yi enters China, then China, and if China enters Di Yi, Di Yi, since the Manchu Qing Dynasty has entered the land of China, that is my Chinese descendants. ”

"You're sophistry!"

Fang De suddenly smiled: "You have the ability to say a word to those old masters, see if they don't spray you to death?"

Chen Jialuo was speechless, and went to those people to argue about Huayi's defense, is he sick.

"Well, let me ask Chief Chen again, does the Han people or the Manchu people have any impact on the common people?"

"What do you mean?"

"No matter who is in power, it has no impact on the people, how should the people live, as long as they can let them live a good life, they will resolutely stand on whose side, this is the people's heart, this is the general trend, those who go along with it prosper, those who go against it die, no one can change it, even if you are the helmsman of the world, you can't change this ironclad fact?" Fang De continued: " Besides, even if the Han people are in power, think about the early years of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of land annexation, more than 90% of the land is concentrated in a small number of landlords, In the hands of Haoqiang and officials, the common people have forced them to live hard, a year of hard work, the grain they get is not even enough to pay taxes, how do you let them live, if a court makes 90% of the people unable to live, I can't think of any reason for it to continue to exist, or Chen Helmsman you and I teach, although I am a shallow person, but I am very easy to learn. “

Chen Jialuo was speechless, he was a person who was born in a high school, and he knew a lot about the history of the previous dynasty, so he didn't want to speak with a clear conscience.

Fang De continued: "Although the Qing Dynasty is still a little unpopular, but at least he is going to the good side, the people's food and clothing are also a little guaranteed, Qianlong is also constantly expanding the territory, as for he took back Tibet, Huijiang, and Mongolia that were outside the Central Plains Dynasty, but your so-called heroes, Heroes and heroes are doing something, nothing more than taking advantage of the dissatisfaction of the grassroots people with the court to make trouble there, I really don't know what benefits the world is messy to the people, sometimes I really want to ask you if you know the meaning of chivalry, the great man of chivalry, the stability of the country, the protection of the territory and the expansion of the territory, the small man of chivalry, with friends as neighbors, with neighbors as good, but what are you doing, it is nothing more than boasting. “

Chen Jialuo said: "There are some black sheep among our people, but overall it is good. “

"Generally good?" Fang De smiled: "Say this, laugh off my big teeth, the essence of religion and gangs is to use all kinds of means to fool ordinary congregations and ask them for offerings, without the offerings of ordinary congregations, you people are afraid that they will drink the northwest wind." “

"I know that you have a deep prejudice against us people, and it is basically impossible to want you to change the law to us for a while, and I came to see you this time for another thing, that is, to rebuild Shaolin, Shaolin will be kind to us Honghua, I know that your Fang family has a lot of power in officialdom, I hope you can help us in this matter." ”

Hearing Chen Jialuo's words, Fang De suddenly fell silent, and only said after a while: "Whether Shaolin can be rebuilt, the question is not me, but whether you are willing to cut off with Shaolin, Shaolin was only burned, because they have a close past with you so-called heroes and heroes, if you don't cut off Shaolin cleanly, even if Shaolin is rebuilt, it will be destroyed again, because no court will like to fund a rebellion against their own power." ”

Chen Jialuo nodded: "I will seriously consider this matter, in short, you have to worry about Shaolin's affairs." ”

Fang De bowed: "I will definitely help if I can, but I have to wait for a time for this matter, and it is useless if the time is not urgent." ”

"What kind of timing. ”

"At least Shaolin must also make great contributions to the imperial court, otherwise a single martial art can overwhelm them. ”

Chen Jialuo's eyebrows locked slightly: "You want to pull Shaolin to the court?"

This is the only feasible way to rebuild Shaolin at present. ”

"Is there no other way?"

"Yes," Fang De said lightly: "That is the helmsman of Chen, you overthrew the Manchu Dynasty and became the founding monarch of the country, let alone build a Shaolin, even if you build ten or eight seats, or even a hundred, it will be no problem." ”

Chen Jialuo smiled bitterly: "Now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has entered the customs for nearly a hundred years, the people have long lost their minds, and it is not easy to overthrow the rule of the Manchu Dynasty." ”

"If you know that there is little hope, why don't you go the other way?"

"Opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty is the ideal of all our anti-Qing righteous lands. ”

"Your ideals are not equal to everyone's ideals, what the common people need is a stable life, if you want to destroy his hard-won life, then you are their enemies, you can buy a part with a small favor, but you can't sell all the people, in the end, you will inevitably be spurned by the whole society, if I were you, you would choose to hibernate, form a deterrent force among the people, and supervise the administration of the court, which is much more meaningful than your repeated anti-Qing and Ming restoration. ”

Chen Jialuo was silent, and after a long time, he said, "I will seriously consider this matter." ”
