The murder of the prefect of Shaoxing has reached a critical juncture that has to be resolved. The atmosphere on the rivers and lakes suddenly became very tense.

On the second day of arriving in Shaoxing, we received a flying pigeon biography from Chen Boyang, the head of the Kuocang faction.

Chen Boyang said that the soldiers and horses of the 17th Route have been stationed in all major sects in the rivers and lakes, and the masters of each major sect have been interrogated one by one. Nowadays, the various sects are complaining. Especially in charge of the world of Fujian Shuangdaomen, he openly resisted the censorship of the imperial court, and the two sides were tense, and a big war was about to break out.

I asked Li Xiaoqian: "Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that it was Remnant Yun who killed the prefect of Shaoxing, why didn't they explain the situation to the imperial court?"

Li Xiaoqian said: "It's not that there is no explanation, but it is meaningless to explain. ”

I was puzzled and asked, "Why is there no point? As long as the imperial court knows that this matter is the work of the Remnant Cloud Society, they will let go of the various sects and only go to investigate the Remnant Cloud Society." ”

Li Xiaoqian said: "Do you think the imperial court will not know who killed the prefect of Shaoxing?"

I said, "You mean, the court already knows, so why are they doing that?"

Li Xiaoqian said: "Because of the murder of the Shaoxing prefect, it doesn't matter who the murderer is, the important thing is that they found a good excuse to settle in various sects." Do you understand?"

I said, "I don't understand." ”

Li Xiaoqian sighed helplessly and said: "At this time, even if someone tells the imperial court that it is said that Remnant Yun will kill the prefect of Shaoxing, the imperial court can not listen or believe it, they can continue to investigate the various sects on the grounds that there is no evidence, the imperial court means to send troops to the various sects, and it makes no sense for others to say anything to him." Unless ......"

I hurriedly asked, "Unless what?"

Li Xiaoqian thought about it while walking, suddenly stopped his footsteps, and said to me: "Unless, Li Moqian and Zhuge Duyun turn themselves in with conclusive evidence and completely block the excuse of the imperial court!"

"Never!" Chen Youfeng, who had been silent, suddenly stood up, he saluted me respectfully, and said, "Alliance leader, Li Moyan and Zhuge Duyun are the same sect of the master of the Double Sword Sect, and it is said that the relationship is quite deep. The Double Sword Sect is one of the top ten sects, and its strength should not be underestimated, he has always had a deep opinion on the imperial court, if this matter is resolved at the expense of Li Moyan and Zhuge Duyun, I am afraid that the master of the gate will not give up!"

He seemed to have a point, but remembering Guan Tianxia's previous attitude towards me and his annoying face, I couldn't help but want to ignore his feelings.

At this time, Li Xiaoqian's words played a role in fueling the fire. He said: "Is it necessary to sacrifice the entire martial arts for the sake of one to rule the world? Besides, since they dare to do such a thing, why should they let the entire martial arts bear the consequences for them?"

Chen Youfeng was silent for a long time, nodded slowly, and said, "It seems that this is the only way!"

As soon as I slapped the table, I immediately finalized: "Let Li Moyan and Zhuge Duyun turn themselves in!"

"I'm afraid it won't be that easy. Liu Wufeng walked in from outside the door, and he said, "Assassinate the imperial court official,

This is a great crime to kill the head, do you think they are really willing to turn themselves in?"

I said angrily: "I order them to go as the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance!"

Liu Wufeng smiled contemptuously and said, "What are the martial arts alliance masters, I'm afraid they won't be worth more than their lives." ”

"Bang!"

Chen Youfeng kicked the chair down, pointed at Liu Wufeng and shouted: "You are also the subordinate of the alliance leader, you have no distinction of respect and inferiority, and you dare to insult the alliance leader like this." If you insult the alliance leader, you are insulting the Jianghu martial arts, insulting the Jianghu martial arts is insulting my Kucang faction, insulting the Kucang faction is insulting my master, and insulting my master is insulting me!"

He spoke so vigorously that he kicked over another chair and shouted, "Fanatic, you dare to insult me!"

With a "bang", he pulled out the saber on his waist, pulled Liu Wufeng's arm, and shouted, "Go, you go out with me!"

Liu Wufeng asked, "Where are you going?"

Chen Youfeng roared: "Go outside, compete!"

Liu Wufeng said: "Just go, aren't you afraid that you won't succeed?!"

With that, the two of them walked towards the courtyard with staring eyes.

Is this still the Chen Youfeng I know? For the sake of such a sentence, he was so irritable, and he was not at all the humble and polite gentleman he used to be.

I said, "Get out there and have a look!"

just took a step, but was pulled back by Li Xiaoqian. Li Xiaoqian said: "What is there to see!"

I said, "They're fighting, and I want to see who is better." ”

Li Xiaoqian said: "There is no wind and there is God. We have more important things to do now, hurry up and don't let down Brother Chen's kindness. ”

Chen Youfeng's kindness?

I asked, "What do you mean?"

Li Xiaoqian pulled me to the back door, and said as he walked: "Chen Youfeng deliberately pestered Liu Wufeng, so that we could have a chance to get out and do business." ”

I still didn't quite understand, so I asked Li Xiaoqian: "Why do you want to entangle Liu Wufeng?"

Li Xiaoqian sighed again and again, and said, "Silly brother, that Liu Wufeng is the emperor's person, he won't let you go to Li Moyan and Zhuge Duyun, let's go, if you don't leave, it's too late." ”

Li Xiaoqian led me out of the back door and ran into the alley. Li Xiaoqian lay in the corner, looked at the street, and said, "Great, Liu Wufeng didn't catch up." ”

I said, "What's next?"

Li Xiaoqian said: "Now it seems that there is only one place in Shaoxing Mansion that is safe. ”

I asked, "Where?"

Li Xiaoqian pointed to the east and said, "Lu Mansion!"

I was startled and shouted, "You still want to find Tang Wan?"

Li Xiaoqian grimaced and said, "Can you stop mentioning this matter again?!"

Lu Mansion, Gaomen and Broad Courtyard, even in the wealthy Shaoxing Mansion, can be regarded as a number of people.

Lu You once said that his ancestors were officials for three generations, and his ancestral business was solid, and he was a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River. Now it's up to him

generation, I'm afraid it's going to gradually decline. He has always been ashamed of the imperial court's policy of compromise and surrender to Jin, and would rather dance and write at home than become an official in the court and join them.

However, his mother didn't think so.

Lu You said that his maternal grandfather Tang Yi was a Hongru Shaoqing and won the trust of Huizong, and his mother's maiden family was also a big family in Bianjing at that time. Lu You was able to compose poems at the age of twelve, and was a famous prodigy in the Sanyin area, and because of the merits of his elders, he was named a Dengshilang at the age of twelve. Although it is not an official position, it also received the salary of the imperial court. However, his arrogant mother was still not satisfied, and only hoped that Lu You would be able to enter the court as an official, and he would be on the top of the mainland's house, completely ignoring Lu You's thoughts.

When Li Xiaoqian and I were about to climb over the wall and enter the backyard of Lu's house, we happened to hear Lu's mother scolding Lu You: "Before, I wanted you to start a family first and then start a business, but you only hung on the wind and snow, and played poetry with Wan'er, and didn't take your studies to heart at all. You are so desolate, how can you be worthy of the ancestors of the Lu family!"

When I climbed down the wall, I accidentally stepped on a dead branch lying on the ground, making a crisp "click" sound. Lu Mu turned her head to look at me, and then turned pale with fright, and shouted: "Come on!

Lu You saw that it was me and Li Xiaoqian, although he was a little puzzled, he hurriedly stopped Lu's mother and said, "Mother, don't panic, these two are You'er's friends." ”

Lu's mother was stunned, and then scolded Lu You again: "Look at what friends you have made on weekdays." On your wedding day last year, a white and strange old man was full of gangsterism, did not know the etiquette at all, and was drunk at the banquet, and he was about to fly off the wall at every turn, and as a result, he fell to his death on your wedding day, almost ruining the auspicious day. Now, there are two more rooster and dog thieves of unknown origin, and they are actually admitted to the hospital in the daytime...... You, you're really angry with me!" After speaking, she slapped Lu You twice on the back, with an angry expression on her face.

Li Xiaoqian shook his head when he heard this, and said with a "tsk" sound in his mouth, "This is much more powerful than my mother!"

Lu You only cared about making an apology and said, "Mother, my two friends are both righteous people. This, this wall admission must have a last resort, I will ask about the situation later, and I will definitely take the two of them to apologize to you. ”

Mother Lu glanced at the two of us and said, "No, I'm not in good health, I can't stand it!"

"Congratulations to Mother!" Lu You's hand was not slowly lowered until Lu Mu disappeared at the end of the corridor, he sighed, then turned his head and stared at the two of us angrily, so frightened that I trembled twice.

Lu You said: "Why don't you leave the main gate, but you want to come in over the wall? You've really hurt me. He shook his head and sighed disobediently.

Li Xiaoqian said apologetically: "We entered through the main gate in order to avoid the eyes and ears of others

It's too eye-catching, it's really forced to go over the wall, and I don't know it's such a coincidence, I just happened to bump into my aunt scolding you!"

Lu You asked, "What is Auntie?"

Li Xiaoqian hurriedly explained: "This, this is our honorific title for the elders there!"

"Auntie, Auntie?" Lu You muttered, "Sounds a little strange. ”

I dragged the landing tour and said, "Leave this alone." You've got to help us. ”

Lu You asked, "What happened to you?"

I felt that before I wanted Lu You to ask for help, I should reintroduce my new identity to Lu You. I cleared my throat and said, "The leader of this alliance ......"

"Wait!" Lu You interrupted me and asked, "What did you say?"

Li Xiaoqian grinned, embarrassed, and kept muttering: "Shame, shame!"

Lu You asked, "Brother Li, what does Brother Ji mean?"

Li Xiaoqian laughed twice and said, "This, Ji Danbing, is now the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance!"

I straightened my clothes, and I felt like a light was shining from all over me. Lu You looked at me with a stunned look and said, "Brother Ji, you are the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance?!"

I said, "Yes, the leader of this alliance ......" As soon as I was halfway through the words, Li Xiaoqian poked me from behind and whispered: "Lu You is not an outsider, you can talk well!"

Didn't I say it well?

Lu You smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay." I don't know why the two brothers came to Shaoxing this time?"

I was just about to speak, but Li Xiaoqian rushed ahead of me and said, "Have you heard about the killing of the Shaoxing prefect?"

Lu You was stunned and said, "How could you not have heard of such a big thing." According to rumors, this incident was the work of the Remnant Cloud Club. ”

Even Lu You knew that it was the remnants of the clouds that would kill the prefect of Shaoxing. It seems that Li Xiaoqian is really right, the imperial court is not investigating the murder of the Shaoxing prefect at all, and it is clearly taking this opportunity to meddle in the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

Li Xiaoqian nodded and said, "Not bad." It's no secret. But now, the imperial court has sent the 17th Route Army to each major sect, claiming to thoroughly investigate the case of the killing of the Shaoxing prefect, and the 17th Route Army went to more than 20 sects, but none of them came to Shaoxing! . ”

"Hmph!" Lu You said angrily, "Xiang Zhuang dances the sword, which is intended for Pei Gong." ”

I asked, "Who is Xiang Zhuang and who is Pei Gong?"

Li Xiaoqian and Lu You both looked at me, shook their heads and sighed. Li Xiaoqian said: "It doesn't matter. Important things, Dan Bing is the leader of the martial arts alliance, and he can't ignore this matter. ”

Lu You nodded and said, "Not bad." Although, I don't know how Brother Ji became the leader of the martial arts alliance. However, since he is in this position, he can't watch the imperial court ruin this river and lake. Lu You looked at me and continued, "What does Brother Ji need me to do?"

I said, "We're going to find Li Moyan and Zhuge Duyun from the Remnant Cloud Society." ”

"Are you looking for those two killers?!" Lu You was surprised

asked.

Li Xiaoqian said: "Only by finding the two of them and asking them to go to the yamen with their employer's murder note to surrender can this crisis be resolved." Otherwise, the imperial court will always use the pretext of tracking down the murderer and keep reviewing it in various sects. ”

Lu You pondered for a moment and said, "This year, I rarely inquire about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. Many years ago, when the Remnant Cloud Society was at its peak, it was a public post and murder in Shaoxing Mansion, which was unscrupulous. For a while, the remnants of the clouds will disappear from the rivers and lakes, and I don't know where they went. If it weren't for the killing of the prefect of Shaoxing, I don't know that the remnant clouds would reappear in the rivers and lakes. ”

I said, "Do you have a way to find them?"

Lu You said: "I'm afraid that it will be difficult for me to find it, and if something so big happens, I'm afraid that they have already hidden." But I believe there is one person who can help you. ”

"Who?" I asked.

Lu You said: "My uncle!"

It's Lu Shi!

Thinking of this name, the mystery that had been sunk in my heart for a long time resurfaced again.

Li Xiaoqian looked at me, frowned, and shook his head gently.

I understood what he meant. He didn't want me to mention the murder of Enshin again. I don't know why, but he's stopped me many times.

But how can I endure it?

I nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go see your uncle!"

Li Xiaoqian hurriedly stopped me and said, "No, this matter is still for Brother Lu, we just need to wait for the whereabouts of Li Moqian and Zhuge Duyun." ”

I said, "But ......."

Li Xiaoqian said: "We can't go out of the Lu Mansion, and we can't be discovered by Liu Wufeng. If he does anything in it, I'm afraid we will fall short. ”

Li Xiaoqian said very seriously. It's so serious that I don't dare to go any further. But he couldn't stop me, and I continued to think, what was the secret in this, and why did everyone stop me from finding out the cause of Enshin's death?

Lu You didn't seem to notice my thoughts, he said, "You can stay in my mansion in peace, and I'll go and inform my uncle." ”

He turned around and took just two steps, then suddenly stopped again and said to us apologetically, "There is one more thing that I need to ask you for." ”

I asked, "What's the matter?"

Lu You was a little embarrassed, he hesitated for a moment, but still said: "My mother seems to have a misunderstanding of the two of them, and she still wants to bother the two of them, so I will go with me to make amends, so as to comfort my mother's mood." ”

Li Xiaoqian said: "It should be, it should be." ”

Lu You said: "I'm tired of the two of you. ”

The three of us stood in front of Lu's mother's room for half an hour, and she still didn't agree with us. Lu You stood at the door and persuaded hard: "Mother, these two friends are indeed in trouble and have to do it as a last resort. They did not intend to frighten their mother, so they came to apologize. Please also ask my mother to see, for the sake of their guests of my Lu family, open the door and see you!"

Lu's mother didn't appreciate it, and her slightly sarcastic voice came from the room: "Entering from the main entrance is a guest, and you go over the wall."

If you are a thief, I won't report to the official, I have already given them a lot of face, you let them go quickly!"

Lu You glanced at the two of us, his face was full of apologies, and said, "Let's go back!"

At this moment, a graceful figure walked slowly, holding a wooden plate in her hand, and a delicate white porcelain jar with bursts of white mist floating.

When she saw me, especially Li Xiaoqian, her expression was stunned, and her face was full of astonishment. But then he returned to normalcy and walked slowly.

"Sister Wan!" Lu You looked at her gently and asked, "You are not feeling well, you are not resting in the room, what are you doing here?"

Tang Wan smiled slightly and said, "I heard from someone that my mother blamed you again today, so I personally cooked soup for my mother, so that her old man could dissipate her anger." ”

Lu You smiled gently, looked at Tang Wan's eyes full of pity, and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

Tang Wan smiled and knocked lightly on Lu's mother's door.

"I've said it all, I'm not here, you can take them away quickly!Don't disturb my rest!" Lu Mu's voice was full of irritability.

Tang Wan glanced at us, a little dazed, and she said, "Mother, I'm Wan'er, I made your favorite soup and sent it over." ”

After a while, Lu Mu's slightly softened voice came from the room: "Come in!"

Tang Wan gently pushed open the door and closed it gently.

Lu You shook his head and sighed, and said, "Let's go!"

As soon as he walked a few steps, he heard Lu's mother's reprimand from the house: "As a woman, you must concentrate on persuading the tour guide to work hard, help him gain fame in the morning, don't spend all day thinking about how to please your in-laws, and don't just care about your own pleasure and miss your husband's future!"

Lu You and Li Xiaoqian turned their heads at the same time, looked at the door that was closed, and listened to the chatter of Lu's mother inside, and the expressions of the two were surprisingly consistent.

It's all heartache and pity.

"It's really bitter Sister Wan. Lu You sighed, his tone full of self-blame.

Li Xiaoqian didn't speak, he looked at the house in a daze, motionless, but at some point, he had clenched his fists tightly!
