Chapter 27: Envy, Hatred, and Parting (3)
After everyone learned of it, they all screamed in surprise, and immediately some indignant people cursed on the spot, and even more began to take the initiative to ask for help, vowing to follow Mu Beiting to help the boxing.
However, in this atmosphere of hatred and hatred, Fan Yujun changed his previous heroic attitude, and did not follow the crowd, but frowned and thought about it, and after a while, he suddenly asked in a deep voice: "If it is said that the Japanese are holding Zong Yan's family hostage in order to seize the "Su Jing", this is also reasonable. But according to my brother's complaint, the Lin Mansion has never distributed invitations to heroes from all walks of life, so what's going on? I think the handwriting on the letter is indeed written by Zong Yan himself. ”
Mu Beiting nodded and said: "What my brother said is good, I was also shocked when I first saw this letter, but this invitation was indeed not sent by Lin Zongbian. ”
Zhou Chuqing hurriedly confirmed: "I stay by the side of the head of the family every day, if he does this, how can I not know?"
Everyone turned their eyes to look at Zhou Chuqing, and they were all suspicious in their hearts, and among them, Cheng Haiqun was the most anxious, he asked first: "In this way, someone imitated Lin Daxia's handwriting to forge this letter?
Mu Beiting shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's not, if that widow wants to seize this book, he will definitely act cautiously, and the less people know about his deeds, the better." If it was known to all, wouldn't he put himself in danger? I don't think he would do such a stupid thing. ”
Cheng Haiqun nodded again and again, but secretly scolded himself for being stupid in his heart, how could he not even see this powerful relationship, but before he could speak again, Fan Yujun asked Mu Beiting again: "Then according to my brother's opinion, who will do this? Is it possible that someone from the house?"
Zhou Chuqing hurriedly said: "There is absolutely no way! The identity of this book is only known to the head of the family and me, and no third party knows about it." ”
Fan Yujun frowned and said, "It's really strange, who wrote and sent this letter, and what is the purpose of his doing this?"
At this moment, everyone's hearts are also asking this question, but they are all clueless. At this moment, Master Tong Ze suddenly asked, "I heard that the content of the letters you received is the same, but I don't know where you learned that the book you are appreciating is the Sutra?"
Fan Yujun replied: "Today's martial arts master Yi Liangwen's letter is different from ours, it clearly states what book is appreciated, and we all learned from Yi seniors after we arrived at the house. ”
Mu Beiting and the three of them glanced at each other, and their hearts were stunned. Zhou Chuqing blurted out and exclaimed, "Even the old Yi seniors are here?!"
Mu Beiting asked Fan Yujun, "Big brother, do you know where Senior Yi is staying?"
Fan Yujun said: "Senior Yi settled in the guest room of the mansion and went back to the room to rest about an hour ago. ”
Mu Beiting's heart flashed, and he secretly thought: "Senior Yi has a lot of experience, and he must be much older than my generation in dealing with such a thorny problem, why don't I ask him for an idea?"
He made up his mind in his heart, and when he hugged his fists to everyone, he said: "Right now, Zong Yan is not in the mansion, I, as the eldest brother, will do his own thing, you have fun eating here, but if you need it, just tell the servants." The three of us also got the accommodation of Senior Yi to pay respects, so I took my leave first. After saying that, he turned around to leave.
But at this moment, I suddenly heard a sharp voice in the corner shouting: "Then you can't do anything about appreciating the "Plain Book" together?"
This shout from the back of the crowd was like a thunderclap, and the audience was silent, and then everyone began to look back, all wanting to see which master was asking this question at this moment.
I saw that the person who shouted was an extremely obscene-looking middle-aged man, he didn't seem to have thought that such a sentence would attract so much attention, and he couldn't help but shrink his neck timidly, and the chicken leg in his mouth was immediately pulled out, and the saliva that followed also pulled out a long silk thread in mid-air, which was really disgusting to look at.
At this time, I don't know who shouted first: "Hey, isn't this person Zhan Kehe?" As soon as the words fell, someone immediately responded: "This notorious thief has been here for a few days, why? You didn't see it a few days ago?" and someone said: "Your brother may not have seen it, but I'm afraid that it should be out of sight, hahaha..."
Zhou Chuqing had no intention of participating in everyone's laughter, he was staring at Zhan Kehe at the moment, and his eyes were almost on fire. He never expected that Zhan Ke and such a vicious bandit would be "invited" here, and his heart suddenly became nameless, and he had been in a depressed and irritable mood in the past few days, and now that he met such a clown who jumped off the beam, how could there be a reason not to vent his anger on his head, and shouted angrily at the moment: "Who let you in?!"
Zhan Ke and saw Zhou Chuqing's thunderous rage, and he was immediately frightened and lost half of his soul, and the two feet squatting on the stool couldn't help but tremble, and he couldn't hold his center of gravity in an instant, and the whole person fell backwards.
Zhou Chuqing stared at Zhan Kehe, who was trembling and stood up, and scolded sharply: "Not to mention that this letter is forged by a fool and cannot be counted, just because a traitor like you also wants to appreciate the book?
Zhan Kehe was so frightened by Zhou Chuqing's angry appearance that he trembled a few times, he really never received an invitation, but recently he happened to be in Ningbo City, and saw that many martial arts masters had visited Lin Mansion in the past few days, and he couldn't help but be curious in his heart.
He is a person who loves to be lively, as the so-called has to make up for it, and if there is no excitement, he will create his own excitement to make up, not to mention that this excitement is still from the Lin Mansion that is popular today, and it is even more impossible for him to miss it. So he squatted near the Lin Mansion, and then borrowed a loophole, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the family in the mansion, and also mixed into the mansion.
During this period, there were many people who were really "invited" who noticed his appearance, and everyone was surprised by this, but because they were all living in the Lin Mansion, no one could go beyond the box to question him, so they had to turn a blind eye and let him jump up and down in the mansion.
To say that this Zhan Kehe's face is really thick, in the face of the contemptuous eyes of others, he can handle it calmly, as if he really came with Cambodia calmly, just eat and drink every day, but live a very comfortable life.
Although everyone was extremely disgusted with him, they didn't see him behaving out of line, so they had the right to see him not see, and they could be considered safe and sound for a few days.
And the question he asked just now was not for any specific purpose, after all, he also knew that even if he could really appreciate books, it would definitely not have his share. The reason why he asked this question was purely with a heckling mentality, just to see how everyone would react.
But he never expected that the excitement of others was not successful, and he even provoked his own family to be furious, but he first looked at his own liveliness, thinking that the good days of eating and drinking were over, and he was afraid that a beating would be inevitable.
Fortunately, at this time, everyone only paid attention to the angry Zhou Chuqing, but few people paid attention to him. He glanced at Zhou Chuqing tremblingly, but seeing that he didn't make any actual moves, he immediately hid under the table, and then escaped from the side door in a gloomy manner.
Zhou Chuqing didn't really want to be embarrassed by such a clown, and now that he saw him slipping away, he should see that he couldn't see him and let him go.
But after this incident, everyone suddenly fell silent, and the hall was silent for a while, and it was almost audible that a needle dropped.
Although this thief Zhan Kehe is disgusting, his question is not offensive, after all, this is also the question that everyone thinks in their hearts, but they dare not ask it easily.
It stands to reason that since it has been confirmed that all the invitations are forgeries, then everyone should no longer worry about appreciating the book, but they only blame the unparalleled exercises recorded in this strange book are too tempting, and everyone is unwilling to miss the opportunity easily, but they are all afraid of their faces, and they are afraid of Lin Zongyan's prestige, so they dare not mention it rashly. However, at this time, there were people who asked questions instead, and they just called everyone's minds, so they were just waiting for Zhou Chuqing's reply at the moment.
Zhou Chuqing glanced around at everyone, understood everyone's thoughts in his heart, and his chest suddenly burned with anger, and he was about to have a seizure immediately.
Mu Beiting noticed that Zhou Chuqing's expression was different, and hurriedly reached out to support his arm, and then his fingers were slightly strengthened, signaling him to restrain himself, and at the same time he was secretly thinking in his heart: "Although this matter is not the original intention of the master, but the people here are all famous people in the martial arts, and they can't be easily neglected, so we need to slow them down now, as for the matter of the "Su Jing", let's wait until tomorrow to rescue Brother Lin's wife and children before making plans." ”
At that moment, he patted Zhou Chuqing's shoulder, and then hugged his fists to everyone and smiled: "My brother is depressed in his heart when this sudden change occurs, and I hope you are not strange." As for this "Plain Book", please rest easy, just wait for tomorrow to rescue Zongbian's wife and children, I will definitely give you an answer. As he spoke, he glanced at Fan Yujun and motioned for him to help round the field.
After all, Fan Yujun had a deep personal relationship with Mu Beiting, and he didn't want to embarrass him at this time, so he nodded slightly, then turned to face everyone, and said loudly: "Everyone here is a chivalrous person, and everyone can clearly distinguish which is more important here, at this moment, Lin Daxia's wife and children are still suffering in the hands of that thief, how can we sit idly by?" paused, raised his voice again, and continued: "I want to be a dignified Chinese country, how can I allow Fanbang and the Japanese to be powerful, don't you say?"
Everyone present was a hot-blooded man, and after listening to his encouraging words, the pride and righteousness in his heart were instantly stimulated, and they also spoke out one after another, such as "I am about to kill this thief" and "I will die to save Lin Daxia's wife and children".
Mu Beiting looked at Fan Yujun's back, and said with emotion in his heart: "I haven't seen him for many years, Brother Fan is still so impassioned, and he is still a good hand at encouraging people's hearts..."
After the sound of everyone stopped for a while, Mu Beiting clasped his fists again and said: "You are chivalrous and courageous, righteous and thin, you are all first-class good men, Mu Mou has thanked you in this ancestor Zong Yan." However, the detailed response plan when we go to the appointment tomorrow, we still need to go to the senior Yi to carefully consider and discuss, so I ask you to assemble in the front yard tomorrow, and then we will make unified deployment. ”
Everyone claimed that it was, and after saying goodbye to everyone, Mu Beiting and the three of them hurriedly walked out of the "Coriander", and ran towards Yi Liangwen's lower place with a step.
Although Fan Yujun had a good relationship with Mu Beiting, he saw that the other party did not invite him to discuss with him, so he did not follow out, and when he turned around, he beckoned everyone to continue the previous unfinished gamble.
