Chapter 974

That day in Fengmen Village, Li Qiufeng hid under the bed in the old lady's inner room and eavesdropped on the Nie family, and only then did he gain insight into the grievances and grievances between the Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du families and the Xu family. At that time, he only said that he was hiding skillfully, and the Nie family did not realize that there was anyone in the inner room. Later, he escaped from Fengmen Village, and when he thought about it carefully, he found that there was something strange about it.

According to what Old Lady Nie and Nie Dingnan and others said, the six families fled to Fengmen Village in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, nearly a thousand years ago. Over the years, the Xu family has repeatedly wanted to capture Fengmen Village and wipe out the five families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, Du, and Hua, but each time they have returned. It can be seen that Fengmen Village has been impregnable under the operation of these five companies for nearly a thousand years. But he escaped without danger, although with the help of Jinyiwei's undercover Gao Cheng, it was impossible to escape from Fengmen Village so easily.

At that time, Li Qiufeng already felt that things would not be so simple, and then he thought about it carefully, and realized Ji Dingzhong's plan to use Jinyiwei to deal with the Japanese Invaders, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and then he realized that Old Lady Nie and others had already included him in the plan to eliminate the Japanese Invaders, otherwise they would never have sent two cooks who did not know martial arts at all to the stone house to bring food to themselves. Thinking that after he arrived in Fengmen Village, Nie Dingnan saw the flaw, and after discussing with the old lady Nie, the Nie family set a trap and deliberately let him escape from the stone house. After he arrived at the inner room of the old lady Nie, the old lady Nie, Nie Dingnan and others staged a play in the outhouse, deliberately telling the intentions of the widows, the purpose of which was to use the mouth of the strong autumn wind to inform the head of Jinyiwei of the matter, and induce Jinyiwei to fight with the widows, so as to eliminate the big trouble of the Nie family.

After figuring out the joints of this matter, Li Qiufeng knew that Old Lady Nie was scheming, far above Ji Dingzhong. This old guy sat firmly in the closed door village, drove the Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du families, and with the help of the power of the Japanese Kou, he destroyed the feuding Xu family. And when he was planning to eliminate the Xu family, he had already thought that after destroying the Xu family, he would also use the Japanese to get rid of the Lu, Zhao, and Du families. Then use the Jinyi Guard and other imperial court soldiers and horses to fight with the Japanese invaders. In this way, the Nie family has no hidden worries and can walk out of Fengmen Village in a dignified manner. With the ability of the children of the Nie family, they can not only be left and right above the officialdom, but also buy fields in various places and make a fortune. At that time, the Nie family will not only carry forward, but I am afraid that there will be greater thoughts.

Thinking of Old Lady Nie's superior wisdom and setting such a powerful plan, it really makes people shudder. Although Li Qiufeng didn't know how martial arts this old guy was, this person was even more difficult to deal with than Yanagi Zongyan. Li Qiufeng had already regarded this person as a great enemy in his life, and as soon as he saw that Old Lady Nie had arrived, he hurriedly hid in the house and thought hard about a good plan.

I could only hear the sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and I thought that a lot of people had come in. After a while, I heard Zhang Baixing say: "Outside there are all Jinyi guards living in the legendary temple, what's going on?"

But I heard Miao Zhu say: "The villain is also strange about this." Today, the prefect went to our City God Temple, and I heard that he was friends with Uncle Li who lived in the backyard, and the two talked very happily. After the prefect left, rumors spread outside, and I don't know who made the rumors. ”

Miao Zhu's voice fell, but he heard Zhang Baixing say: "Lord Han is here?

Li Qiufeng heard Zhang Baixing say this, his heart moved, and he secretly thought that Han Qusi was a member of the Lu family, although he was the prefect of Luoyang, but among the four families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du in Fengmen Village, he also had to obey the orders of the Nie family. There is a matter of Jinyi Wei hiding in the City God Temple, it stands to reason that Han Qusi naturally wants to inform Ji Dingzhong. Ji Dingzhong knew, and Zhang Baixing would naturally know. But Zhang Baixing didn't know about it, could it be that Han Qusi had other plans?

When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, he only heard an old voice say: "Master Zhang, if your words are spread, I am afraid that you will offend the Han Governor's Mansion." As the saying goes, if you say too much, you will lose, and Master Zhang should be cautious about what he says. ”

Li Qiufeng heard that it was the old lady Nie who was talking, and secretly thought in his heart that Zhang Baixing was a child of the Nie family, and he had always been arrogant, and he didn't even put Han Qusi in his eyes. He heard that Han Qusi had been to the City God Temple, but he didn't tell himself and Ji Dingzhong about it, so he was annoyed, so he said nothing. If these words were spread, the listeners would naturally be puzzled, and they didn't know why Zhang Baixing, a small county magistrate, would reproach Han Qusi, the dignified prefect of Luoyang. Moreover, the people who live in the backyard of the City God Temple are all the heads of the Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du families. I'm afraid that Zhang Baixing's words will soon reach Han Qusi's ears. If Han Qusi knew about this, he would naturally have a bad heart towards the Nie family. Old lady Nie is so shrewd, for fear that the Lu family will be dissatisfied, so she reminded her. With this person's ability, he actually tolerated Zhang Baixing to be so nonsense. Thinking about it, if Zhang Baixing was not a child of the Nie family, he was afraid that he would have been eliminated by Old Lady Nie.

After Old Lady Nie finished speaking, no one spoke for a long time. In the end, I only heard Zhang Baixing say: "You take all the distinguished guests to their respective rooms to rest, you have to serve well, if you are lazy, hum, I will give you a good look then." ”

Miao Zhu agreed repeatedly. After a while, only the sound of chaotic footsteps could be heard in the backyard, presumably Miao Zhu was taking everyone to various rooms to live. Li Qiufeng heard that someone had also moved in the room on his left, and thought to himself, so many people had moved in, and he wanted to act at will, but he was afraid that it would not be easy. What's more, there is also an old lady Nie with outstanding wisdom in the courtyard, and if he is not careful, he will be killed. Fortunately, Old Lady Nie has to deal with the Japanese first, and he will not be embarrassed by himself for a while. You have to be careful not to be taken advantage of by this old fellow.

It took more than half an hour before the courtyard was quiet. Li Qiufeng looked out from the crack in the door, but saw that the courtyard was empty, and the surroundings were silent, which was a little eerie and terrifying.

Li Qiufeng knew that all the people living in the backyard were the leaders of the four families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du. These people are all extraordinary, and judging from Yu Fan's words and deeds, the Japanese also know that this is the place where the heads of the four families gather. On the day of the Lantern Festival, it is inevitable to attack this place with all its might. Although there is silence in the backyard in front of him, there is a great danger hidden in this quiet.

Li Qiufeng looked at the crack in the door for a while, and heard that there was no strange sound in the room next to him, and sure enough, as Miao Zhu said, these people were extremely strict and would not show up easily. He paced around the house a few times, secretly thinking that since Old Lady Nie had already moved in, sooner or later he would have to face each other. This person is bent on taking advantage of himself and will not attack himself for the time being. As long as you are careful, there will be no danger before the Lantern Festival. Thinking of this, he made up his mind, put away his clothes, gently pushed open the door, and walked straight out.

From the wing room where Li Qiufeng lived to the corner gate leading to the front yard in the backyard, it was only more than ten zhang away. Li Qiufeng walked unhurriedly towards the corner gate, and his steps were very calm. However, Li Qiufeng knew that at this time, I don't know how many eyes there were in the main hall and the left and right wings, and they were staring at him tightly.

When he walked out of the corner gate, a cold sweat broke out on his back, which made his clothes stick to his back, and it was very uncomfortable.

When he went out of the corner gate, he saw that the front yard was different from before. Not only are the poles covered with lanterns of various colors, but even lanterns are hung under the porches and cornices of the main hall and the main gate. There is an endless stream of pilgrims worshipping in front of the main hall, and after burning incense, many people wander around the courtyard, pointing at the lanterns and whispering and laughing. There were no less than three or four hundred people crowded into the entire front yard, and it was very lively.

Li Qiufeng saw that Miao Zhu led a few people to place offerings in front of the main hall, and did not notice that he walked out. He knew that if he was seen by Miaozhu, he would inevitably be entangled by him again. Now rumors are circulating throughout the city, and if these pilgrims know that they are the rumored official from Beijing, it will be even more difficult to get out. It was because he took advantage of the fact that the temple did not turn around, hurriedly quickened his pace, turned around in the crowd, and after a while, he squeezed to the gate of the City God Temple, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Qiufeng turned his head to look at the main hall, but saw that in the midst of the smoke, the city god in the main hall was solemn, sitting under the altar, looking down at the pilgrims in the courtyard, and his eyes showed compassion.

Li Qiufeng saw that Chenghuang Niangniang's appearance was so expressive, and his heart moved. He stood there for a moment, then walked out the door. It's just that he just crossed the threshold, but he saw a person coming up from under the stone steps, and he happened to have a face-to-face with Li Qiufeng. Li Qiufeng's heart sank, and he was surprised and happy in an instant, and almost screamed.
