The solemn night is about to pass, and it won't be long before the east will show the whiteness of the fish's belly, and the elite soldiers waiting at the gate of the Dragon Mother Temple have spent another sleepless night, and soon they will be able to rest. And the three people in the temple were not sleepy at this time.

Hu Hao said: "Why are you so sure?"

"Since only the disciples in your gang know, I think there must be a disciple in your gang who has opened this mechanism. The secret passages that these three floor tiles say are probably connected, but there are knife mountains in two places to prevent someone from breaking the mechanism and entering. Pu Mu said.

Hu Hao said: "When these three secret rooms were built, I originally wanted to isolate them, but it was really difficult to design under the temple, so there were gaps, and they could indeed be connected. ”

"I think this Bai Yuqi is also to remind the people who come to give money at night not to step on these three floor tiles, right?"

Hu Hao said: "It is worthy of being the commander of the Great Interior, who can not only crack the mechanism, but also know the intention of my design." But if you can crack my mechanism, must it be the mechanism I opened for the middle disciple to put the official money in?"

"That person's iron plate is on his shirt, and how many people know about this Dragon Mother Temple, and understand the mysteries and can get the token in your gang? If you meet these three, the chances of someone in your gang are greater than anyone else-" Pu Mu said.

Hu Hao didn't answer, Pu Mu said: "Gang Master Hu doesn't know why Guanyin is here, but the shopkeeper may not know. Presumably, this is also the meaning of your going to the top. ”

Duan Gan said treacherously: "Why do you bother to go around in circles with him, the Three Lakes and Three Lakes have isolated you——"

Hu Hao said: "Nonsense, don't provoke the relationship between my three gangs." ”

Pu Mu said: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, you can go and knock on the side of the shopkeeper to ask about the 20,000 taels of silver, and see how the shopkeeper responds." ”

Hu Hao didn't reply, went straight out of the Dragon Mother Temple, went down the mountain, got on a boat at the dock, and left the mountain by himself.

There was some white light in the east, and Governor Liu entered the palace early. At this time, another person came to the entrance of the palace, and the person bowed to the officials who guarded the door, and the officials directly invited him into the palace.

In the back hall of the mansion, the man was waiting for Governor Liu, only to see Governor Liu from the hall where he was reading official documents, and immediately walked quickly from the hall where he put down the file to the living room in the back hall.

"You've done me a miserable blow—" Governor Liu said when he saw the man. The person in front of him is the shopkeeper who has disappeared in the past few days.

The shopkeeper took off his jade wrench and wiped it, and said, "Governor Liu, why did you say such a thing? It's that you can't hold your breath, and now things are even more difficult." ”

Governor Liu said angrily: "You don't discuss anything with me, and you say that mine is not? Who let you intercept and kill on the waterway? Now that they have come to the door, you say I can't hold my breath?"

The shopkeeper was calm and relaxed, did not reply, and after wiping the wrench, he blew a few more breaths on the various parts of the wrench, and then moved his neck and yawned. In this way, he said: "This is calming down." ”

Governor Liu said: "You don't say a word to me, this is to calm down? Do you know that we are about to come to a catastrophe——"

Shopkeeper Yu said with a smile: "It turns out that Governor Liu knew that a catastrophe was coming, so he asked the people of the Black Wolf Gang to send them away for you, but do you know that the three gangs are now all exposed to their eyes?

"It's not that you're making assertions that lead to such an end—" Governor Liu said.

Shopkeeper Yu said: "This is an order from Shangfeng, let me wait to intercept and kill them." But he also said that he had to do it on the waterway, and if they escaped from the waterway, they should not chase and kill them. If it can't be intercepted, let me and others hide, and he will solve the incident for me. ”

"But did Shangfeng consider me in doing this? You are in the dark, I am in the dark, if they really find evidence, my black gauze hat will not be able to keep it, don't blame me for confessing all of you—" Governor Liu said.

"Hahaha...... What if you give it up? Shangfeng can keep us, but he can't keep you. I'm hiding in this eight-hundred-mile cave court, they can't find it for three or five years, but you probably can't hide—" Shopkeeper Yu said with a smile.

"You...... If you say that again, I will give them a direct confession of the peak, and you will all suffer—" Governor Liu said.

"What are you going to do? Oh...... The prince in the palace secretly colluded with the local governor and participated in the corruption of the Ministry of Rites? Which prince is that? Do you know? I don't know about this matter, you rashly tell them, even if they tell the emperor, the emperor doesn't know which prince it is, what is the use? In the end, you are still a dead ghost, hahaha......" Yu said with a smile. "There's only one way to survive now. With that, the shopkeeper got up and was about to leave the reception room.

Governor Liu shouted in a low voice: "You left a word and left?"

The shopkeeper Yu said: "You send away the few people in your house first, and then I will have a way." ”

After that, Shopkeeper Yu walked out of the mansion and walked out of the street alone to the downtown area. There are a lot of people in the downtown area, and not far from him, Chen Renhai and Li Defei are following him - it was just dawn when Governor Liu went out today, and when it was dawning, these two people avoided the eyes and ears of the people in the official residence and followed out. In this way, I saw the scene where the shopkeeper Yu came to visit the government alone, and then walked out alone.

I saw that the shopkeeper went out of the downtown area, turned into a street, passed through this street, and arrived at a wharf, and then left by boat.

Chen Renhai looked at the dock not far away and said, "This person has been completely hidden in the Dongting generation for the past few days, how can he take the risk to come to visit Governor Liu?"

Li Defei said: "I think it's to let Governor Liu make a plan and make it easier for him to deal with us and others." I'm afraid I'm not optimistic about my current situation. ”

"If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move, Governor Liu won't be at a disadvantage to us in his mansion. Now, it's up to Brother Pu to see if they can come up with more evidence. I'll go back first and stabilize Governor Liu. After that, he returned to the governor's residence with Li Defei.

It is only said that the boat of the shopkeeper Yu swam all the way from the river to Yunmeng Daze, where the waterways are intricate, in addition to the big lake, there are many main streams of the rivers gathered here. The shopkeeper's boat entered the middle of the river and entered the main stream of a river, which was rarely traveled by cargo ships, and the mountains on both sides of the waterway towered. I saw that there was a small building in the mountain by the river, and there was a pavilion hanging on the side of the mountain, but the mountain stood almost vertically on the riverside, and the small building seemed to have no way to go up. The shopkeeper's boat stopped here, and the man who supported the boat put a carrier pigeon towards the small building in the mountain, and when he was young, a large hanging basket was put down, and the shopkeeper jumped on the hanging basket, and the hanging basket slowly rose, and when approaching the pavilion, the shopkeeper jumped into the pavilion.

After the hanging basket was cleaned up, the shopkeeper Yu said to the subordinate who placed the hanging basket: "People are coming?"

The subordinate said, "I have been here for about a quarter of an hour, and I am waiting for the shopkeeper in the attic." ”

"Everyone has been ordered to go down?" said the shopkeeper Yu.

"The order has been given, and there are no cargo ships coming to this main stream today. Everyone else was in place, waiting for the treasurer's orders. The subordinate said.

"Okay, wait here. With that, Shopkeeper Yu walked up the stone steps to the attic of Xiaoshanbao.

Waiting in the attic was Hu Hao of the Black Wolf Gang. After the two met and saluted each other, they sat down and said to the shopkeeper, "Why don't you have tea for a long time?"

Then the servants brought a pot of tea and took two cups. "Gang Master Hu is here, why don't you wait for your life?" said the shopkeeper.

The subordinate lowered his head and admitted his mistake, and said, "When the Hu gang leader came, I didn't prepare tea yet, and the tea was freshly boiled." ”

Yu shopkeeper said: "That's it, you step back." If there is anything I tell you again, I have something important to discuss with the Hu gang master. ”

The servant obeyed and withdrew from the room. Hu Hao took a sip of tea and said, "The new tea is not bad, I don't like to drink old tea in winter." Yu shopkeeper, I will get straight to the point when I talk to you. ”

Shopkeeper Yu also took a sip of tea and said, "Gang Master Hu might as well say anything directly." ”

Hu Hao said: "Is Shopkeeper Yu ready to let others occupy the magpie's nest?"

The tea went into his throat, and the shopkeeper was choked, and after a dry cough, the subordinates immediately entered the room and handed him a hand towel. After a cough, the shopkeeper Yu came to his senses and said, "The tea is choking...... What did the gang leader Hu just say? The dove occupies the magpie's nest? I don't know who the dove is? Who is the magpie?"

Hu Hao drank all the tea in the teacup, and the shopkeeper got up to renew the tea with him when he saw this, only to see Hu Hao raise his hand, signaling that the shopkeeper didn't have to do this, and the shopkeeper Yu sat back in his place.

"The people of the Yellow Lion Society or Iron Leopard Village are going to come to my river to make money. Hu Hao said.

Shopkeeper Yu said with a smile: "Why did the Hu gang master say this, the five lakes and the three gangs, jointly consult, the three gangs jointly manage their own rivers, and they are responsible for their own profits and losses, how can they come to help the master of the river to circle wealth?"

"Then how can there be an extra 20,000 taels of silver in the Dragon Mother Temple I built for no reason?" Hu Hao said.

Yu shopkeeper said: "Where is the Dragon Mother Temple mentioned by Gang Master Hu......?

Hu Hao said: "It's in the mountains next to the Yellow Lion Society's place where the shopkeeper asked the Yellow Lion Society to intercept and kill those eight people. ”

"Oh, I see. In this way, the Hu gang leader built a temple on the river basin of the Yellow Lion Society, in order to worship God and protect the brothers of the Yellow Lion Society from having a smooth journey by water, and the business was smooth sailing.......

Hu Hao's face became more and more pale, and he said, "I built that temple to collect accounts for the Chamber of Commerce." The money in the chamber of commerce will be stored there first, and when the limelight is over, it will be all transported to the association. ”

Yu shopkeeper said: "That's the case, no wonder Master Fan always told me that every time the Hu Gang Master borrowed the road from the waters of Huang who would pass by, he transported a large amount of silver, and today I know it, but this ...... It doesn't seem to have anything to do with what the Hu gang leader said. ”

"This temple is only known to the disciples of my gang, and my gang has not robbed the official silver, how can there be official silver in the temple. That batch of official silver was the embezzled silver of the Ministry of Rites that was confiscated by the Criminal Department. Hu Hao said.

Shopkeeper Yu's expression was very surprised, and he said, "How did Gang Master Hu find out about these things?"

"Shopkeeper, I'll talk to you about this later. I only ask the shopkeeper one sentence, have you ever let people rob the official bank?" Hu Hao said.

"Oh, what did this Hu gang leader say? The officials of the Criminal Department personally escorted the robbery of official silver, and the people in these three gangs, whoever I let go, no one has the courage to do so. Yu shopkeeper said.

Hu Hao said: "Then I helped the priest go to Songjiang Mansion to collect the account but did not return for a long time, but why is there a corpse in the secret room of the temple, and there is a token of the priest in my gang next to the corpse-" After that, the iron plaque was slapped on the tea table by him.

The noise was a little loud, and the table shook.

The shopkeeper picked up the iron card and said, "Gang priest, but why did you come to me to ask? and how could the bones be his? While speaking, the shopkeeper Yu got up, took steps in the room, and said, "Hu Gang Master is angry, your priest brother, I will let the Chamber of Commerce and the brothers of the other two gangs inquire for you." It's good that the Hu gang leader is still hiding a little in the past few days, and the inner commanders have not left the Dongting Mansion yet, and if they find out, everyone will be in danger. ”

Hu Hao poured the tea, drank another cup directly, and said, "Shopkeeper, why did you have the idea of asking me to hand over the boat business of the two rivers for the Yellow Lion Club to run at the beginning of the year?"

At this time, there was no voice, and the shopkeeper did not answer. I don't know why there was a rustling sound outside the door and downstairs. Hu Hao felt that there was something wrong with the situation, and as soon as the door opened, more than a dozen swordsmen poured in and surrounded Hu Hao.

"Gang Master Hu, what I said doesn't count - it's Shangfeng who thinks you earn more and pay less, and your unique poison is unwilling to hand over for a long time, and now someone has found the ...... of Dongting Mansion," Yu said.

"In this way, Pu Mu is right, my Black Wolf Gang priest is dead, and the official silver is also being transported to the temple, why do you treat me like this-" Hu Hao shouted.

The shopkeeper Yu was behind the swordsmen and sighed: "When you don't tell the secret recipe for your poison, Shangfeng will be dissatisfied with you. You must know that Shangfeng has been waiting for me to get through the way, so you can have so much business, but you pay less money than the other two gangs, which angers Shangfeng. ”

"I paid a lot of money, but I didn't expect Shangfeng to be so insatiable, and for the sake of money, he wanted to get rid of me. Such a master, it is useless to follow-" After that, the short knife on his waist was unsheathed, and the double knife was waved, and a group of swordsmen fought, and the knives were slashed, Hu Hao's double knives were framed, and he pushed with ten percent of his strength, directly shaking the swordsman open, and rolling down from the window.

Unexpectedly, the courtyard was already full of killers, but I saw Hu Hao perform a light skill and leap to the pavilion, wanting to escape.

I saw that those swordsmen all raised their knives to catch up and kill towards the pavilion, Hu Hao saw that the hanging basket was no longer there, and with such a high cliff, his light skills would not be able to enter the water safely.

The swordsmen approached the pavilion, and Hu Hao came out with his two knives and fought with them. The short knife was so powerful that four or five people fell to the ground in a few moments. There is only one way to hang the basket here, so it is a dead end, in the fight, Hu Hao killed more and more fiercely, and a few people fell in a pool of blood, but two fists are hard to beat four hands, and they were surrounded by swordsmen in a short time.

Hu Hao let out a loud roar, and the two knives became less and less fast, although the knives of those swordsmen were fierce and cut their elbows, but still many people died.

At this time, the shopkeeper Yu took off his robe, jumped into the crowd, and kicked Hu Hao in the chest, Hu Hao was kicked and hit the pillar of the pavilion, and suddenly felt the blood in his chest churning. At this time, the shopkeeper picked up one of the knives of the knife man and said, "Kill him with me—"

Hu Hao slashed into the crowd with two knives, he wanted to fight to the death and catch the shopkeeper to get out of trouble.

I saw that the shopkeeper's knife technique was swift, and Hu Hao resisted for about twenty rounds before he was defeated, coupled with the siege of the swordsmen, he was stabbed on the waist at this time.

Yu shopkeeper slashed and directly shook a short knife in Hu Hao's hand. Hu Hao had to resist with a single knife, and was stabbed by the knifemen between his legs, and at this time, he knelt on the ground in pain in one knee and slashed head-on with the shopkeeper's big knife.

Suddenly a crisp collision, Yu shopkeeper's knife was held by a sword, and before the swordsmen could see what was going on, they saw two more people in front of them, one of whom was Long Xiangtian, and the other was a person dressed as a Taoist.

Long Xiangtian said: "Fortunately, the Taoist Temple of Lan Dao is not far from here, otherwise I wouldn't know the trick of waiting for you today——"

Yu shopkeeper said: "There is indeed a master in this mountain, the dragon commander wants to ask the Taoist chief to go to help Er and wait for the investigation." ”

"Your little building looks clever, but in fact it wants to cover up. When I came to the mountains to look for the Taoist, I found that there was something strange about the building where I was waiting, and who would build an attic in the middle of the mountain without leaving a way up the mountain, and that we had to take the waterway to do it? "Long Xiang Heavenly Dao.

Yu shopkeeper said: "What if you wait for you to know, do you see if you can still go out today-" After saying that, the big knife was raised, Long Xiangtian fought with him with a sword, and said: "Lan Dao Chief, you escort it down the cliff-" With that, a sword resisted the big knife of the shopkeeper Yu.

At this time, Lan Dao Chang helped Hu Hao to the pavilion, but found that the cliff was so steep and dangerous, and said: "With my light skills, I am afraid it will be difficult to go down-" While speaking, the swordsmen had all killed, only to see Lan Dao take out a paper bag from his waist and scatter it all over the world, and the swordsmen began to smell the dust and began to itch all over their bodies, and they were all panicked for a while. Hu Hao pointed to the hanging basket in the attic behind everyone and said: "Only use it to go down-" Lan Daochang saw that those swordsmen were powerless to make knives at this time, they all fell to the ground and rolled, and some were still scratching, and Long Xiangtian and Yu Shopkeeper on the other side all fought to the top of the building, so they immediately jumped into the attic with light skills and obtained the hanging basket on the first floor.

Yu shopkeeper shook Long Xiangtian's sword style with a sword, and said to those staggering swordsmen: "If you let them go, they will all come to see you-"

The swordsman listened, endured the itch and pain, got up, and slashed at the two people in the pavilion who were adjusting the hanging basket - "You quickly tie the rope, I will stop the enemy-" Hu Hao picked up the short knife and slashed down.

Lan Daochang had not tied the rope in a panic, and at this time, Hu Hao held up the chaotic knife and was directly approached into the pavilion. The pavilion was slashed with knives, and Hu Hao couldn't support it anymore.

Long Xiangtian, who fought with the shopkeeper to the courtyard, saw that the snake body method shook a move, jumped high, and made a sword slash with the internal force, and the sword qi directly attacked the back of the swordsmen, and the swordsmen fell to the ground a few people, at this time, the shopkeeper cut down Long Xiangtian's big knife and couldn't dodge the right shoulder was directly pressed by the blade, Long Xiangtian's right hand holding the sword could not exert force at this time, and instantly used the snake body method, the left hand grabbed the knife, and the whole body was directly pinned to the big knife, and the shopkeeper was not good at this time, so he had to let go, and both of them fell into the courtyard.

At this time, Hu Hao and the two have set up the hanging basket, Lan Daochang grabbed the injured Hu Hao and jumped directly to the hanging basket, the rope on the side of the hanging basket slid rapidly, Lan Daochang could stabilize his body on the hanging basket, the hanging basket slid down very quickly at this time, after two-thirds of the cliff, Lan Daochang hugged Hu Hao, and the two jumped into the water together.

In the shopkeeper and Long Xiangtian are in the battle again, at this time the shopkeeper took out ten darts from his waist, with the air darts, the darts all attacked Long Xiangtian, Long Xiang Angel sword blocked the darts, although the swordsmanship was fast, but the darts were strange and capricious, and instantly stabbed Long Xiangtian's right shoulder socket. At this time, Long Xiangtian's sword hand was trembling, two wounds, and blood was cut down his fingertips, but he still endured the pain to deal with those strange darts.

The dart wrapped him, and the effect of Long Xiangtian's snake entanglement method at this time was greatly reduced, and the dart inadvertently killed him, consuming his internal strength little by little.

In the shopkeeper with the heart of the dart, the internal force is also consumed, so he has not used this trick, but Long Xiangtian's snake body method has been suppressing him, the slightest chance Long Xiangtian will take advantage of the victory to pursue, which makes him helpless, so he used this dart method to deal with Long Xiangtian.

Long Xiangtian was poked in the back at this moment, and the power of the swordsmanship was sharply reduced, but Long Xiangtian abnormally used his internal force to give himself a palm at this time, only to see a stream of blood coming out, and Long Xiangtian's sword swept through the blood and turned into a sharp arrow scattered out. At this time, the shopkeeper suddenly felt bad, and the internal force was sufficient, and the darts were all killed, and the blood droplets touched the darts, and after a sound, Long Xiangtian ran to the side of the pavilion and jumped a fish to use the snake body method to run down from the cliff. When it was close to the water, he jumped into the water and disappeared.

Yu shopkeeper's internal strength was greatly consumed, and at this time, he ran to the side of the pavilion and looked down, only the flowing river water. Yu slapped the handrail in the pavilion with a palm and said, "In these few short moves, Long Xiangtian was able to break my dart array, but fortunately, he was seriously injured." So saying, the shopkeeper ran to the attic, took a pen and paper, wrote a note, curled up and put it on the pigeon's feet, and released it out of the mountain.
