Chapter 240
The five elders of Mount Tai were questioned by Guan Ping for a while, and they were speechless for a while. Although Na Kangyan is good at arguing, it is just what Guan Ping said, but it is a well-known thing in the martial arts, and it is not easy to refute it.
On that day, the five elders suddenly attacked and restrained Guan Ping and his descendants. It's just that at that time, it was within the Taishan faction, and it could do whatever it wanted. Today, in front of the world's heroes, if Guan Ping is forced to shut up, it will inevitably leave people with a truth. What's more, at this time, Guan Ping is still nominally the head of the Taishan faction, if the five old men do it to the head, I am afraid that Huashan, Kunlun, Emei, Qingcheng and other masters will stop it, and then it will be disgraced, not to mention, even if Guan Ping is killed on the spot, the Taishan faction will become a laughing stock in the rivers and lakes, and its status in the martial arts will also plummet. It was because the five elders listened to Guan Ping's sentences, but they were not easy to refute, so they had to be silent, thinking hard about countermeasures in their hearts.
Guan Ping continued: "Since the appearance of this nameless thief, martial arts righteous people from all over Shandong have been encircled and suppressed many times, and our Taishan faction, as the leader of Shandong martial arts, is naturally obligated to take the lead. It's just that this thief seems to have the ability to predict the future, and we have laid a net several times, thinking that it is seamless. But it is often us who ambush in the east of the city, but this thief is committed in the west of the city. The five seniors also participated in the roundup of this thief at that time, is what Guan said not a lie?"
The five elders were still silent and did not refute them, obviously what Guan Ping said was true.
Guan Ping continued: "Our Taishan faction led the martial arts colleagues in Shandong to chase and kill this thief many times, but they missed again and again, and they made a fuss. At that time, there were rumors that 'the Taishan faction poured out of the nest and couldn't catch a nameless thief, maybe this person is related to the Taishan faction'. At that time, the first master was in charge of the Taishan faction, and when he heard these rumors, he was shocked and angry, and he also secretly investigated in this sect. Senior Ding, Guan is right. ”
Ding Yu's face changed, stared at Guan Ping and said, "The surname is Guan, what is the purpose of asking the old man this sentence?"
Guan Ping smiled slightly and said, "When the ancestor investigated this matter in the Taishan faction, he once looked for you once. Senior Ding, you are a martial arts master who is admired by everyone in the rivers and lakes, what is the matter that the first master asked you, you will not hide it?"
Ding Yu's face was cloudy, and after a long time, he said: "Senior Brother Shi is looking for me, but he is just talking about some things in his own sect, which is not enough to be known to outsiders. Mr. Guan, you have been expelled from this sect, and you don't need to tell you these things again. ”
Guan Ping shook his head and said, "Of course you don't want to say it." Because the ancestor is looking for you, he is asking about Lin Shujun's whereabouts. Our Taishan faction has been established for hundreds of years and has created a large foundation in Shandong. Jinan Mansion and Qingzhou Mansion have our trading shops, and there are more than 1,000 acres of fertile land in Tai'an County. On top of the money, our Taishan faction does not dare to say that it is rich in the world, but life is not tight. It's just that even so, Lin Shujun quietly bought a big house of 700 taels of silver in Jinan Mansion, and opened a pawnshop and two restaurants. Where did he get his money?"
As the saying goes, "the poor are rich in martial arts", although there are "gentlemen and poor people" in the martial arts, but most people never worry about money, and those underworld characters spend money like water. And the various factions of the martial arts righteous path, although they do not do underworld trading, but relying on their status in the rivers and lakes, they are also rich in money. In addition to buying land, in order to seek safety, the dart bureaus often have to prepare a generous gift every year to send to the door. There are also some green forest cottages, which are afraid of these famous and decent forces, and often secretly send money and goods, not asking these sects to help, just asking them to turn a blind eye and be satisfied. It is a large faction in the rivers and lakes such as Mount Tai and Huashan, all of which have thousands of acres of fertile land, hire tenants to cultivate, and collect rent every year, which is no different from the big landlords. Because of this, these sects had dealings with the government, and sometimes had to make peace with the court.
It was not surprising that Qunhao heard Guan Ping say that the Taishan faction had more than 1,000 acres of fertile land and trading shops. It's just that when I heard that Lin Shujun also had such wealth, everyone thought: "This surnamed Lin is so rich, I'm afraid that my hands and feet are not very clean." Maybe it was this person who secretly communicated the news that allowed the nameless thief to escape many times. ”
Ding Yu said angrily: "You are a bloody spurt! Shu Jun is dead, and you still pour dirty water on him, just to hate him for being stronger than you in martial arts back then, and Uncle Shi wants him to succeed to the position of head of the family." You are so narrow-minded, and it is the righteous move of our Taishan faction to remove you from the position of head of the family!"
Guan Ping heard Ding Yu's angry reprimand, but his face was calm, and then said: "May I ask Senior Ding, when that thief appeared in Shandong, was it a few years ago?"
Ding Yu said angrily: "Six years ago! This is a well-known thing in the rivers and lakes, and the old man will not cheat!"
Guan Ping said: "Ancestor Ding is right! This big thief brought disaster to Shandong, and it was indeed a major event in Shandong's martial arts back then. Even if someone wants to cover it up, they can't hide it if they are afraid. So Guan still wants to ask again, what year did Lin Shujun die?"
Ding Yu's face changed, and he thought for a moment before saying, "Shu Jun died three years ago. If he hadn't died, he would have been the head of the Taishan faction today, how could you allow you to talk nonsense here?!"
Guan Ping looked at Ding Yu and said, "Today is a grand gathering of martial arts heroes in the world, but there are many Shandong martial arts people present. Heroes from Shandong are invited to stand up and speak. ”
As soon as Guan Ping said this, there was silence all around. This Shajiabao is located near the capital, not far from Shandong, and there are really a lot of Shandong martial arts people who came to Shajiabao at this time. It's just that the Taishan faction is actually fighting in front of the heroes of the world, and these Shandong martial arts people all think in their hearts: "Shandong Wulin, the leader of the Taishan faction, will definitely not be offended." At this time, although there was a sudden infighting, the right and wrong were unclear, and the strength and weakness were not distinguished. If we rashly help one side, the other side will gain momentum in the future, and it will definitely be difficult for us. It is not too late to stand up and speak when the situation of victory and defeat is clear. Some people think: "The Taishan faction has been rampant in Shandong for more than 100 years, and today the masters of the gang are broken, and it is best for both sides to lose and lose their strength, and we will have the opportunity to replace them." After Yi Guan Ping finished speaking, the martial arts people from Shandong were silent.
Guan Ping seemed to have expected this result, but he was not angry, and still said calmly: "Guan Mou is not trying to embarrass you. I looked at the Shandong heroes who came here, and there were really a lot of friends in the rivers and lakes who joined hands with our Taishan faction to encircle and suppress the big thief that day. Guan just wanted to ask, in which year did the nameless thief disappear?"
Before he could finish speaking, he heard someone in the crowd shouting, "So that's what happened." Although our Eight Immortal Fist is not a sect in Shandong, it has also participated in the battle to capture the big thief. The thief disappeared three years ago. ”
As soon as this person's voice fell, the faces of the five elders of Mount Tai changed together. Kang Yan said loudly: "You Eight Immortal Fist are a gang in Hebei, how can you know about our Shandong martial arts?"
I saw an old man in his fifties walking out of the crowd, tall and strong, with a gray beard. He arched his hand at Kang Yan and said, "Kang Sanxia is really a noble man who forgets things. Back then, our Eight Immortal Fist also accompanied the heroes of Mount Tai to encircle and suppress the nameless thief, Zu and Kang Sanxia also had several faces, and today when we arrived here, didn't Kang Sanxia recognize Zu?"
Kang Yan saw that this person was Zu Xigui, the head of the Eight Immortal Fist, and he snorted in his nose and said, "I don't know how many gangs worked with our Taishan faction that day. Your Eight Immortal Fist is just a small gang in the rivers and lakes, where do we remember?"
Zu Xigui said: "Kang Sanxia's words are not bad, our Eight Immortal Fist is naturally less than a little in the eyes of Kang Sanxia. It's just that there was a junior disciple in this sect back then, but he was from Shandong, and his hometown was in Jinan Mansion. Although this junior brother's family is not very rich, it is also quite wealthy. Just four years ago, there was a drastic change in this junior brother's home. A burglar broke into his home, robbed him of silver and gold, and killed his parents and brother. That night, the homes of eight wealthy families in Jinan Mansion were burglarized, 12 people were killed, and two women were killed, which was a major case that caused a sensation in Jinan that year. When the junior brother heard the news, he was so angry that he vomited blood from his mouth. As Kang Sanxia said, our Eight Immortal Fist is just a small gang that is not in the rivers and lakes, but we can't sit idly by and watch the family of the same disciple and brother suffer this tragedy. So Zu led the Eight Immortal Fists to the same door and went to Jinan Mansion with the junior brother. It just so happened that Shi Qingturine, the head of your faction, led Taishan to send a large number of masters to Jinan Mansion and invited colleagues from Shandong to join forces to encircle and suppress this martial arts scum. Our Eight Immortal Fist coincided with its meeting, so we also participated in it. Kang Sanxia, Zu was fortunate to meet Kang Sanxia and all the friends of the Taishan faction when the Shandong martial arts gang joined forces to kill this nameless thief. Ding Daxia, He Erxia, Kang Sanxia, Wang Sixia, Huang Wuxia, Zu didn't lie to this?"
Kang Yan snorted and said, "Forgive me, I don't dare to make a ghost in front of our five elders of Taishan!"
