Li Qiufeng listened to the conversation between Shi Nianhao and Yang Ziqiao, his words were mediocre, but they were not leaky, and he thought to himself: "Although the status of these two people in the martial arts is not high, but looking at the way the two of them speak, they are very urban, not like ordinary characters in the rivers and lakes, but like old fritters who have been in officialdom for a long time." Luoyang is worthy of being the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, and even the two heads of the Jianghu gangs are already so good. ”

Shi Nianhao hadn't spoken yet, but Shi Nianyang sneered on the side: "Master Yang, my Tianbao nephew was killed by Wei Qian, it's a sure thing. But you have completely brushed off your responsibilities, do you really think that our historian is blind and stupid?"

Shi Nianhao said in a deep voice: "Second brother, don't be rude to Master Yang!"

Shi Nianyang was indignant and said loudly: "Head, the reputation and status of our Shi family knife were earned by our predecessors with one knife and one shot! However, after you inherited the head of the sect, you repeatedly tolerated other sects. If it goes on like this, if there is another battle of Cherry Valley, I am afraid that it will be our Shi Jiadao who will be driven out of Luoyang City. ”

Miao Jian and the others were surprised when they saw Shi Nianyang talking to Shi Nianhao like this. It must be known that among the rivers and lakes, Shi Nianyang is the most respectful and disrespectful to speak to the head of the family in front of people from other factions.

Li Qiufeng had witnessed Shi Nianyang killing Shi Tianbao, and knew that this person had long harbored different ambitions. At this time, the words were full of reproaches for Shi Nianhao, but it was not surprising.

Shi Nianhao said in a deep voice: "Second brother, in the battle of Cherry Valley, your father fought bravely to be the first and made great contributions to the family, which is a well-known thing. It's just that my Shijia knife and Thunder Fist are originally in the same vein as martial arts, and the battle of Cherry Ditch was provoked by others, which caused a tragedy. Both sides suffered heavy casualties and formed a grudge for no reason. Of course, this matter can't bear to look back on Lei Fist, and for our Shi Jiadao, there is nothing to boast about. ”

When he said this, Shi Nianyang was already furious, his face turned red, and he was about to be furious when he saw it. Shi Nianhao glanced at him, and then said: "Second brother, although you and I are not brothers-in-law, we are also relatives of the same blood. How can I not see your thoughts? Back then, my grandfather saw that the eldest uncle was too murderous, so he never passed on the position of head to him. Otherwise, with the uncle's martial arts knowledge, he was originally the head of the Shijia knife. At that time, the eldest uncle had always regarded himself as the heir of the family, but his grandfather had never spit out, so he was eager to make a meritorious career and let his grandfather clarify his position as the heir of the family. Because of this, Benmen and Lei Fist have more filthy encounters, and there is also the battle of Cherry Gully......"

When Li Qiufeng heard this, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, secretly thinking that Shi Nianhao's words were hidden in a mystery, implying that Shi Nianyang's father deliberately created an incident in order to compete for the position of the head of the Shi family's sword, and turned his face into an enmity with Lei Fist. Even the battle between the two factions of Cherry Ditch was deliberately triggered by Shi Nianyang's father. This is completely different from what Shi Nianyang said to Shi Tianbao before.

At this time, Shi Nianyang was already furious, but he was very deep in the city, although he hated to kill Shi Nianhao with one sword, his face remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice: "Head, are you saying that my father deliberately created an incident and failed to provoke the Thunder Fist Gate?"

Shi Nianhao shook his head and said: "Second brother, the eldest uncle is bent on winning glory for the Shi family, how dare I slander him? His old man is just a little impatient, if he wasn't in a hurry back then, he would have been the head of our Shi family's knife long ago." Second, the older generation suffered, and our younger generations can't repeat the mistakes of the past. ”

Shi Nianyang snorted and said, "The head of the family has learned a lesson." The teachings of the older generation, we should keep in mind!"

Both of them are scheming people, and what they say sounds the same, but the meaning is completely opposite. It's just that others don't know what it means. Only Li Qiufeng and Peng Yuanxi knew that the two were actually-for-tat, and there was a wit hidden in their words.

Shi Nianhao turned his head to Yang Ziqiao and said, "Master Yang, there are casualties in both your and my factions today, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Yang Ziqiao turned his head to look at Yang Xiao's corpse, and sighed slightly, before he said: "The death of Tianbao's nephew, there is a lot of strange things, and you have to call Wei Qian to confront Steward Shi. If it is really the hand of Wei Qian, Master Shi can rest assured that he will clean up the portal in the next place, so as not to let Tianbao's nephew give away his life in vain. ”

Shi Nianhao nodded and said, "Yang Shi's nephew suffered misfortune, and Shi didn't take good care of him, so I'm really sorry for Master Yang." As soon as this matter is over, Shi will definitely give Yang Zhangmen an explanation. ”

Miao Jian and the others felt a pang in their hearts, they saw Shi Nianyang kill Yang Xiao with their own eyes, and at this time, they heard Shi Nianhao say that they wanted to give Yang Ziqiao an explanation, and they all looked at Shi Nianyang. saw Shi Nianyang standing aside, his face unchanged, and a faint sneer.

Li Qiufeng hid in the tree, and when he saw that everyone in the forest had ghosts, he thought to himself: "Shi Nianhao and Yang Ziqiao's martial arts and wisdom are not outstanding figures in the rivers and lakes, but the city government is extremely deep, and this matter is handled very properly." In the past six months, I have had a lot of contacts with Mr. Liu, Xu Zhangmen, Chu Zhangmen, etc., these famous predecessors in the martial arts, all of them are people with excellent wisdom, but I am afraid that they are many times more powerful than Shi and Yang. In the three major battles of the Imperial Tomb, Yong'an City, and Shajiabao, I was lucky enough to retreat, and I already had the intention of fluttering, and when I think about it, compared with these predecessors in the rivers and lakes, I am still far behind! In the future, we must maintain a humble heart, and we must not be reckless. ”

At this moment, he suddenly saw that there were two people hidden in a big tree dozens of feet away from him. He was shocked, and looked fixedly, but saw that the two were Yu Fan and Yu Chenghei. Li Qiufeng's heart sank, and he secretly thought: "These two people don't know whether they are alive or dead, and they have nothing to do with this matter, but they ran back to snoop, if they are discovered by these characters in the rivers and lakes, they will inevitably cause great trouble." How can I think of a way to make these two people retreat from the difficulty?"

At this moment, I suddenly heard the neighing of horses from people outside the forest. Li Qiufeng secretly wondered if the Shi Jiadao and Lei Fist Gate had come back again? Just as he was in shock, he only heard someone outside the forest shouting loudly: "Lord Han, the prefect of Luoyang Mansion, has arrived!

When Shi Nianhao, Yang Ziqiao and others heard that the prefect had arrived, their faces immediately changed. Miao Jian and the others were even more worried, thinking that although there were casualties in the gangs fighting in the rivers and lakes, they would never have anything to do with the government. I haven't heard of any gang that has suffered a big loss in the fight, so they will go to the government to report the crime. Officials at all levels also know the rules of the gangs in the rivers and lakes, and as long as these gangs do not pull the flag and rebel, they will also turn a blind eye. Otherwise, if it is investigated, the three dead and injured people will be a big case, and the case will be sent directly to the capital and handed over to the Ministry of Officials for review. The magistrate could not escape the blame, and Wusha could not be saved. It is the vendetta of the rivers and lakes that the local officials have always been able to ignore as long as they do not cause a big turmoil. It's just that at this time, Shi Jiadao and Lei Fist Gate lost more than 20 lives in this forest, if the prefect arrived, this would be a big case that shocked the world. I'm afraid that Luoyang Mansion wants to cover up this case, but it can't do it. At that time, Xiaoyaoguan, Yinmachuan, Nantong Dart Bureau, etc. are also inseparable, and they are targeted by the government, even if they will not be tied by ropes, it is always indispensable to play up and down. Thinking that the gold and silver they had worked so hard to accumulate would be extorted by the wolf-like government, Miao Jian and the others were distressed.

Everyone originally thought that the officers and soldiers would rush in, but after a large number of officers and soldiers reached the edge of the forest, they immediately stopped. After a while, I heard someone shouting loudly: "Governor Han has an order, please invite Mr. Shi Nianhao Shi and Mr. Yang Ziqiao Yang to come and meet." ”

Miao Jian and others breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the officers and soldiers did not enter the forest, there would be room for maneuver. Shi Nianhao and Yang Ziqiao glanced at each other, nodded at the same time, each turned around and ordered a few words from their disciples, and then walked side by side to the outside of the forest.

After the two left, Miao Jian said to Shi Nianyang: "Shi Daguan's family, now that the officers and soldiers have arrived, we have to think of a way to temporarily dispose of the bodies of Shi Dashao and Young Master Yang, otherwise it will not be a good thing for everyone to be discovered by the officers and soldiers." ”

Although Shi Nianyang was bent on provoking the dispute between Shi Jiadao and Lei Fist Gate, if he alarmed the government at this time, it would be extremely unfavorable to him. As soon as he heard what Miao Jian said, he nodded and said, "Let's hide the remains of Tianbao and the other disciples, and let the officers and soldiers go first!"

Everyone was in general mind, and as soon as they heard what Shi Nianyang said, they immediately pulled out their swords and dug a pit on the ground. These people are all people in the martial arts, and at this time they are anxious, they are digging pits, working harder than usual, and in a moment, more than 20 soil pits have been dug on the ground. Everyone put the bodies of Shi Tianbao and others into the pit, and some people took off their clothes, covered the faces of these corpses, and then covered the pit. The disciples of the Lei Fist Sect saw that the disciples of Shi Jiadao buried the bodies of Shi Tianbao and others into the ground, so they also drew gourds and buried Yang Xiao's body into the ground.

After a pillar of incense, I saw Shi Nianhao and Yang Ziqiao walking back side by side. Miao Jian and the others were worried, looking at the faces of the two, but they couldn't see anything unusual. I could only hear another shouting and neighing of horses outside the forest, but the sound faded away, and finally became silent.

Shi Nianhao and Yang Ziqiao each returned to their main gates, and when there was silence outside the forest, Yang Ziqiao arched his hand at Shi Nianhao and said, "Since the Han Governor's Mansion ordered it, we have nothing to say about the Thunder Fist Gate." I returned to Longmen first, asked Wei Qian to ask for clarification, and then discussed with Shi Zhangmen how to deal with this matter. ”

Shi Nianhao returned the salute and said, "Master Yang can rest assured, Shi will definitely give an explanation to your faction in this matter." ”

The disciples of the Thunder Fist Sect heard that the officers and soldiers had already retreated, and at this time, Yang Xiao's body had been dug up from the soil again. Yang Ziqiao looked at his son's corpse, his face turned pale, he waved his hand at the disciples, and then walked outside the forest. The two Thunder Fist Sect disciples carried Yang Xiao's corpse, and the rest of the disciples followed behind in turn, slowly walking out of the trees with Yang Ziqiao.

After everyone left Lei Fist, Shi Nianhao said to Miao Jian and others: "Miao Guan Lord, Peng Zong's dart head, Zhang Zhai Lord, a few people have been bothered, Shi is grateful, thank you a few here, this kindness can only be reported in the future." ”
