Xi Murong saw the stunned expressions of Qin Qing'e's mother and daughter, but she was proud.

"That's right, the one who killed the three monsters in Meizhou and eliminated the Qingliu bandits is me. ”

"However, the three monsters of Meizhou have done a lot of evil, and the Qingliu bandits are also evil to the township and are evil, will you do such a good thing?" Of course, Qin Qing'e didn't believe that Xi Murong in front of him would be a good person and a good chivalrous person.

"Of course it's a good thing, if you kill them, the money is mine, and you can make a good name, isn't that a good thing? Xi Murong smiled evilly and clapped his hands and said.

Qin Qing'e was slightly stunned, but she also understood. Although the other party is rumored to eliminate harm for the people, in fact, it is black eating black. Maybe it was too boring to wait for Chang Ming to come back, but Xi Murong began to tell Qin Qing'e why they wanted to murder Qin Qing'e.

"I don't have to hide it from you now, in fact, the leaders of the South Sichuan Gang are me and Chang Ming. "Xi Murong and Chang Ming, on the surface, are the emerging righteous heroes in the rivers and lakes, but in fact, they are the leaders of the South Sichuan Gang.

The South Sichuan Gang has a large number of people, and Xi Murong and the two have this ghost face to help, doing evil everywhere in South Sichuan to collect money, not only robbing the passing pedestrians and trade groups, but also frequently attacking the passing dart boards. For several years in a row, he has committed crimes everywhere, and he is already notorious in southern Sichuan.

People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and the same is true of the wicked. At that time, the South Sichuan Gang was targeted by the real Hui Sun Knife Chang Ming, and wanted to completely destroy the South Sichuan Gang. That is really Chang Ming into the South Sichuan Gang cottage, and the current fake Chang Ming has a big fight. Xi Murong was committing a crime elsewhere at the time, and he was not in the cottage, so he was invincible and could only flee. That Zhen Changming is a real chivalrous person, and he chased and killed Changming all the way, and only then forced the fake Changming to flee to Ba County.

At that time, Fake Changming, who was injured by Zhen Changming, happened to be rescued by Qin Qing'e and Qi Changfeng. Fake Changming naturally used a fake identity to win the trust of Qin Qing'e and his wife, and stayed in Qi Qin's Mansion to recuperate. And Fake Changming, who was recuperating at Qin Qing'e's house, also learned that Qin Qing'e was the daughter of the boss of Qin Xiang Chaji, the leader of the Sichuan Shu tea industry.

After recuperating from his injuries, after leaving, he found Xi Murong, and when Xi Murong heard it, he immediately had a plan. You must know that after all, the South Sichuan Gang did too much evil at that time, not to mention that Qi Changfeng wrote to the court to suppress the bandits, in fact, the county commander of Ba County had already planned to exterminate the South Sichuan Gang.

Xi Murong Ming, as a chivalrous person on the face, naturally got this news from the rivers and lakes. In addition, Zhen Changming's solo invasion of the South Sichuan Gang at that time had already caused heavy damage to the South Sichuan Gang, and the South Sichuan Gang had already killed many gangs, and its strength was not as good as before. And if Chang Ming brought back the relevant news of Qin Qing'e, it was a great gift to them at that time.

You must know that although the Chuannan Gang was doing evil everywhere at that time, Xi Murong and the two did not get much wealth. The first is because of the money that was robbed at that time, because it had to be distributed to the people below, and the two of them did not have much. The second is that although the two of them have a lot of calligraphy and painting treasures, it is more difficult to sell them. Because, the famous treasures are all stolen from the local wealthy merchants, who do you sell them to? It is too bad to sell them to the black market, and if you sell them directly, it is easy to expose yourself.

At that time, the telling of history through novels became a popular form of cultural entertainment for citizens. Naturally, you have to sit and listen to the book, after all, a lecture is an hour. An hour, how boring it is to listen to it, do you have to eat and drink a little?

Well, the tea shops of the time provided a good venue for these activities. Storytellers set up a stage in the tea shop to give an impromptu lecture, and tea drinkers listened to the book while tasting tea. In addition to the above-mentioned social functions, the Da Song Tea Shop is even a "stadium" and a "casino".

There is a tea shop in Lin'an City called "Huangjianzui Squatting Tea House", which can be used by tea customers to have fun or watch squatting games. In addition, chess and gambling are often used in tea shops. The bad nature of human beings has made the vice of gambling continue in the teahouse, so that in the local history of Jiangnan in later generations, there are also records of "township tea houses, most of the casinos", "tea shops are equipped with gambling equipment, solitaire, fighting tigers, and nothing is wanton".

It is precisely because of the colorful and dazzling entertainment activities in a variety of tea shops that it can become a social and entertainment place for the citizens of the Great Song Dynasty to "live here all day long and not feel the twilight". It can be said that the decline of the Great Song Dynasty can also have something to do with this tea.

As mentioned above, tea has become a necessity in the daily life of the people of the Great Song Dynasty. Then it can be imagined that the Qin family's tea business is naturally in full swing and making a lot of money. Moreover, because tea, unlike salt, is an ordinary commodity that circulates normally in the market, it is relatively easy to make money.

At that time, most of the people who could do the tea business were local long-standing families or wealthy merchants. Qin Qing'e married Qi Changfeng, to be honest, although Qin Qing'e didn't think about it, Qin Qing'e's mother, who was the mediator for her, probably wanted to pull the government personnel as a backer.

Therefore, when Xi Murong and the others, who were not satisfied with the current situation of the South Sichuan Gang, learned of Qin Qing'e's identity, they began to hatch a plan. Of course, before this plan, they used the ghost face to deceive and kill Zhen Changming like they did with Zhenxi Murong, obtained the sword spectrum of the Hui Sun Knife, and first added a wave of martial arts abilities.

Later, it was the above series of frame-ups. In fact, as soon as Qi Changfeng died, after Qin Qing'e married Chang Wei, the dart head pretended to be Chang Ming, they could be said to have obtained the Qin family's tea business. If it weren't for the purpose of raising Qin Qing'e, so that she could continue to manage Chaji and make more money, Qin Qing'e would not have survived at all.

"You tell me these things about you, aren't you afraid that I will tell others?" Qin Qing'e asked, she didn't understand why the other party was so honest and actually told all the bad things in the past.

Xi Murong's eyes lit up, and he said meaningfully: "There are some secrets, it's very uncomfortable to hold it alone, and it's much easier to say it, don't you know?"

Qin Qing'e didn't reply, because she saw Chang Ming coming back with a carriage. As for why Xi Murong told her about the past, thinking about it carefully, it makes no difference whether the other party said it or not, Qin Qing'e didn't dare to turn around and go to the yamen across the street to report to the official.

When the carriage arrived, Qin Qing'e helped her mother into the carriage, and she just wanted to get on the carriage, but was pulled by Chang Ming.

"Hey, the car is here, where's the thing?"

Qin Qing'e glanced at Chang Ming angrily, she really hated the man in front of her. The carriage driver felt that Qin Qing'e's mother's face was very strange just now, and now he saw Chang Ming speaking viciously to Qin Qing'e, and he also felt strange, and asked, "Hey, where are you going?

Xi Murong glared at Chang Ming, Chang Ming could only let go of Qin Qing'e helplessly, Xi Murong looked at the coachman and said, "Oh, big brother, you really know how to laugh, let's just send my sister back to her parents' house, it's not a big deal." So saying, he took a mina of silver out of his garment and threw it to the coachman.

The coachman smiled, and Xi Murong's flattering eyes made him crisp half of his body, and when the silver arrived, his whole body was crispy. "Then you have something to say, I'll get in the car and wait for you. With that, he jumped into the car.

"When we're out of town, I'll tell you where the ghost face is hidden. Otherwise, when the time comes, you will catch up, and we will not be dead?" Qin Qing'e said.

Xi Murong nodded, as if he knew that Qin Qing'e would say this, and said, "In that case, let's follow the car out of the city, and you can talk about it when we get to the city gate." There are also officers and soldiers at the city gate, so you can rest assured. While talking, he also took the initiative to help Qin Qing'e get into the car.

Qin Qing'e just wanted to enter the carriage, Xi Murong pulled Qin Qing'e over and whispered in her ear: "Don't think about asking the officers and soldiers of the city gate to help you, you will die." In the last four words, Xi Murong collapsed one word at a time, and Qin Qing'e felt goosebumps all over her body.

Qin Qing'e nodded expressionlessly and entered the carriage. Xi Murong said to the groom: "Big brother, slow down, let's send my sister out of the city together." As he spoke, Xi Murong and Chang Ming stood on both sides of the carriage on the left and right, and followed. The coachman glanced at Xi Murong, and was thrown away by Xi Murong's flattering eyes, and his heart was refreshed.

"Well, I give a lot of silver, and I can say anything. I didn't expect you to be good to your sister, your sister has a good sister. ”

Xi Murong laughed when she heard this, and this laughter sounded worse than the crying of evil ghosts to Qin Qing'e's mother and daughter in the carriage. Qin Qing'e's mother trembled with fear, for what was happening to her and her daughter now, it was too exciting for someone of her age, and she couldn't bear it a little.

Qin Qing'e hugged her mother tightly, holding her mother's hand tightly with one hand, looking ahead, there was light in her eyes. In this way, the carriage slowly walked out of the city, and this way was an indescribable torment for the two people in the carriage.

Anyway, I don't know how long it took for the car to finally reach the city gate.

"Big brother, wait a minute, I have something to say to my sister. Xi Murong stopped the driver and knocked on the window. Qin Qing'e opened the car window and saw Xi Murong smiling at her and throwing a paper ball to the other party.

Xi Murong took the paper ball, opened it and looked at it, shook his head and smiled: "I didn't expect you to be quite bold." ”

Qin Qing'e didn't reply, and shouted to the coachman: "Master, let's go." ”

Although the coachman was collecting money to do things, he had long been impatient with the slow way out of the city, shouted his whip, and galloped away with the carriage. Qin Qing'e poked her head out of the car window and kept staring at Xi Murong and the others, afraid that the other party would regret catching up after taking the note.

However, Xi Murong and the others stood under the city gate and did not move, but really looked like family members who came to see her sister out of the city. It wasn't until she couldn't see the two of them clearly that Qin Qing'e retracted her head and sat down in the carriage.

As soon as Qin Qing'e sat down, her mother was already crying, asking what happened to her daughter. Although she had also heard what Xi Murong said before, she still didn't understand anything, and she didn't understand what ghost faces and what transactions she had been.

Chang Wei, who was still his uncle yesterday, actually became what Chang Ming today, and he also came with a famous female chivalrous guest in the rivers and lakes to murder his Qin family. If it weren't for the stimulation of the Qi Changfeng incident before, it is estimated that Qin Qing'e's mother might not be able to accept it this time and would go crazy.

Qin Qing'e could only tell her mother what happened after she bumped into Xi Murong and her tryst in Xiaolou last night. Speaking of which, Qin Qing'e's mother was already crying. I was really almost crazy, I found two husbands for my daughter, but I didn't expect one to be bigger than the other.

"It's always good to be alive as far as we can go now. Qin Qing'e could only helplessly comfort her mother.

"But where can we go? We can't go back home, you gave them the seal, don't we have nothing?" asked Qin Qing'e's mother.

"It's okay, as long as we get to Hezhou and report to the official, we can come back for anything. Qin Qing'e said, pressing her hand to her chest, where her source of confidence was hidden.

"Really?"

Qin Qing'e nodded and said, "This is the key to reporting them, I didn't really give them it directly before I was stupid." "That's right, what Qin Qing'e hid on her chest was the ghost face, and she didn't hide the ghost face under the small building in the courtyard of the Qin Mansion as written in the note.

Qin Qing'e pushed open the front door and asked the driver, "Master, where are you?"

The coachman did not look back, and replied: "We have passed Niujiaotuo, and there is Liziba in front of us." ”

As soon as she heard Li Ziba, Qin Qing'e felt a lot more at ease, Li Ziba was about six miles away from the city gate, and the other party first found that the ghost face was not in the small building, so he should not be able to catch up with them.

"Master, please hurry up. Arriving in Hezhou early can give you more money. As soon as Qin Qing'e said this, the coachman was even more happy, originally Xi Murong gave a lot of silver just now, but now he didn't expect the other party to be able to add money, it was a lot of money. The whip in his hand was thrown more urgently, and he couldn't wait to rush to Hezhou in a blink of an eye.

As soon as Qin Qing'e turned around, she was surprised to find that a hand came in from the back window of the car, and that hand grabbed Qin Qing'e's mother and pulled it back, and a sword blade came out of Qin Qing'e's mother's chest. A face appeared opposite Qin Qing'e, it was Xi Murong.

Qin Qing'e exclaimed in surprise, but Xi Murong had already drawn his sword and rushed straight at Qin Qing'e.

"I really thought we were so easy to deceive, to make a deal with us, you called it a tiger skin, do you understand?" Xi Murong shouted, and the long sword stabbed straight at Qin Qing'e. Although the coachman didn't know what was happening behind, he was also frightened when he heard Qin Qing'e's exclamation.

The carriage suddenly stopped, and Xi Murong didn't expect it, because of inertia, he fell down, and the whole person fell sideways, and the sword that stabbed at Qin Qing'e was empty. Qin Qing'e was already retreating backwards in fright, but because of the sudden stop of the carriage, the whole person fell towards the back of the carriage, because when Xi Murong entered the carriage, he broke the back of the carriage, Qin Qing'e easily broke through the carriage and fell to the ground, rolling several times.

The coachman turned around and was surprised to see Qin Qing'e's old mother with blood on her chest, and Xi Murong lying in the carriage.

"This is ......" Before the words were finished, Xi Murong's sword had already penetrated the coachman's throat. The coachman was stunned and fell forward with his throat clutched, smashing on the horse's buttocks, and the horse pulling the cart was frightened, and pulled the carriage to gallop out of a distance.

Qin Qing'e, who had rolled on the ground several times, got up with difficulty, looked back at the carriage running, where did she care so much, she just ran away. And over there, Xi Murong finally struggled to stand up in the carriage, and just now the carriage stopped suddenly, and she fell so much that she actually broke her foot. The ninja was in pain, jumped out of the broken carriage, and chased after Qin Qing'e.

Qin Qing'e ran away desperately, took the time to look back at Xi Murong, and found that the other party was limping away, and she also scolded in her heart: This broken plum dam is not even a tree, what is it called a plum dam.

Although I don't know what happened to Xi Murong, but seeing that the other party is limping, it should be injured, if this plum dam is not a bare piece, if there is really a plum forest, Qin Qing'e feels that at least he can hide. Now this is a bare patch, although the other party is limping, but it looks like he is still catching up with himself.
