Chapter 3: The chief of the ancestral hall kneels

"This day, Jianmen actually has shares in Jiangnan Qianzhuang, which is interesting. Mu Liu looked at Fang Xiao and said.

"Since it is opened by his own people, why is it so tight to his disciples?" Fang Xiao said with a light shake of his head.

"Do you say that this Zhang Zhenqing is selfless and concerned about the feelings of the other two shareholders, or this is his personal investment and has nothing to do with Tianjianmen. Mu Liu leaned sideways and asked Fang Xiao's opinion.

"Probably not, this kind of selflessness is impossible to achieve in the sect, otherwise how could he Zhang Zhenqing still mix in the Heavenly Sword Sect? How can a deputy sect master who can't even take care of his disciples at all. Fang Xiao said and walked to the river and sat down, "As for Zhang Zhenqing's own funding, it is even more nonsense, fifteen years ago, he Zhang Zhenqing was a highly respected young disciple who took what money to start Jiangnan Qianzhuang? Fang Xiao said.

"Then what is the relationship between Zhang Zhenqing's investment in Jiangnan Qianzhuang and Tianjian Gate?" Mu Liu thought about it and sat down with him.

"The relationship between being able to become the deputy sect master will never be shallow, but I think you have to go back and look at the information. Fang Xiao said and washed his face with river water, and joked, "Don't you go to Siwen Pavilion this time to ask?"

"The official's silver is not silver?" Mu Liu also smiled, "I still have the ability to have six doors." Hey, Fang Xiao, did you say it was someone from the Giant Whale Gang? ”

"Why do you say this?" Fang Xiao put the fan away.

"We've been wondering if it's discord within the Heavenly Sword Sect just now, but whether it's discord within Jiangnan Qianzhuang, or whether it's a struggle for power. After Mu Liu finished speaking, he looked at Fang Xiao and seemed to be waiting for his opinion.

"Well, if that's the case, it means that he is dissatisfied with the benefits of the Heavenly Sword Sect represented by Zhang Zhenqing, and he warns him by killing that disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect. And Shen Qiduo is just a paper puppet, so the Giant Whale Gang is the most likely. Fang Xiao continued Mu Liu's thoughts and said.

"Let's go, I'm interested in that Heavenly Sword Sect's corpse right now. Fang Xiao clapped his hands with a fan and hurriedly got up and said.

"No, the corpses of more than a month ago in this big summer are probably about to turn to white bones now. Mu Liu said.

"Do you know what the Giant Whale Gang's usual weapons are?" Fang Xiao smiled slyly.

"The Giant Whale Gang is a gang that emerged in Fujian, the earliest gang was many fishermen, and although it has gone through several generations of changes, it still has harpoons and double hooks as weapons. The sea fork method and the double hook method are the sects of its gang. Mu Liu said smugly.

"The martial arts used by the Heavenly Sword Gate must be swordsmanship, if you stab with a sword, then it will basically not hurt the bones, at most there will be cut marks on the edges of the bones. Injuries to the bone from forks or hooks are more serious puncture injuries. Fang Xiao said as she walked.

"When you say that, I remember that the deceased did say that the deceased had these puncture wounds with different surface sword wounds and scratches, and he didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Mu Liu said.

"It's only been a month, and no one in the Heavenly Sword Sect has even taken this corpse?" Fang Xiao said.

"We notified the people of the Heavenly Sword Gate, but they only sent a message that they would come to pick them up, but they didn't know what was delayed for a month. Mu Liu replied.

"Maybe the Heavenly Sword Sect doesn't want to get the corpse back?" Fang Xiao said.

"Don't want to take it back? Mu Liu said.

"How could it be impossible, because the Heavenly Sword Sect knew that this matter was a complete provocation, but they were not yet at the time of full-scale war. Fang Xiao answered Mu Liu's question.

"Then why hasn't it been time yet?" said Muliu.

"Maybe you are tied up by some things, or you may be busy with some big things, such as the competition of young disciples of the Eight Great Sects at the beginning of this month. Fang Xiao continued.

"And what will happen when they get rid of these things?" said Mu Liu, touching his head.

"How's it going? Carry the corpse that was placed in your six doors and go straight to the Whale Gang. Fang Xiao said lightly.

"That's probably a long way to go. Muliu took out a handful of pine nuts from nowhere and chewed them on his own.

Fang Xiao also took a few and knocked them up. "You are stupid, they don't need to go to the lair of the Giant Whale Gang, as long as they go to the rudder of the Giant Whale Gang nearby, the whole extermination is not only OK?, and although the Giant Whale Gang is not bad, but compared to the Heavenly Sword Gate, this level will be uneven for a while, it is estimated that you have to find out the killers as soon as possible, otherwise the Giant Whale Gang will have to disappear for at least a while if they are removed from the rivers and lakes. Fang Xiao said.

The two walked side by side through the city gates, and the scene in the city was still the same. Mu Liu saw that there was a tea stall in front of him, and hurriedly beckoned Fang Xiao to sit down. "I said you forgot why we were in a hurry to come back?" Fang Xiao said angrily and funny.

"How could I forget, but Fang Xiao. Anyway, the corpse won't run away with long legs, when will you see it, and I don't care, I forgot to drink water in the Siwen Pavilion just now, and I'm dying of thirst now. The shepherd was lying on a bench at the tea stall as if he were a scoundrel.

Seeing this, Fang Xiao had no choice but to take out four copper plates from the purse on his waist, "Boss, two bowls of tea." ”

"Okay. The stall owner delicately took two bowls from the cabinet behind him and placed them flat in front of the two of them, and when he lifted the boiled copper teapot, he carried a fairy birthday with his backhand, and the tea was slowly poured into the two bowls from the copper teapot with a long mouth.

Fang Xiao picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. Seeing this, Mu Liu couldn't help but snicker, "I said that you, the son, won't drink this big bowl of tea at first sight." ”

"What do you say?" Fang Xiao asked suspiciously.

"How can you drink such a big bowl of tea. Mu Liu smiled and drank it all.

"This son, that little brother is right, I have been setting up a stall here for many years, and I have never tasted it so slowly like my son. The boss interjected when he saw that there was nothing to do.

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Fang Xiao wondered.

"Fang Xiao, do you know who are the people who come here to drink tea?" Mu Liu asked as he asked the boss to refill the bowl.

"Ordinary people, but also people who work heavily or are very tired and need to rest. Fang Xiao replied.

"Isn't this enough, you boy, you never have to taste a big bowl of tea, and naturally you still drink Longjing and Biluochun on weekdays. Mu Liu took another sip and laughed.

Fang Xiao picked up the fan and tapped Mu Liu's head, "You shouted for tea, but now you're mocking me." ”

The six gates of Jinling are in the south of the city, which is the same as the six gates of the Shuntian Mansion, and it does not lose the style of staying in the capital, and the heads of the upper positions are all going south. Therefore, Muliu, a fifteen-year-old boy, became the chief steward of the six gates of Jinling. Therefore, he took Fang Xiao in and out at will, but no one stopped them.

After passing through two courtyards and then to the left, the two walked to a side courtyard, and the side courtyard walked into a locked room, and the plaque on the room said Pseudo-Yizhuang. Mu Liu had already asked for the key from the little catcher at the door, so he stepped forward to open the lock, Fang Xiao walked into it with Mu Liu, this room was far bigger than Fang Xiao imagined, there were forty or fifty coffins parked as far as the eye could see, and the whole room was still full of a gloomy atmosphere.

Mu Liu walked around to a coffin on the west side, and said to Fang Xiao, "This is it." ”

"Yes. Fang Xiao nodded, "Lift it up with me." Mu Liu followed him as he lifted the coffin board, only to feel a foul smell in front of him.

"I'll go" Mu Liu was at the downwind outlet, and he was cold, and he ate a mouthful of corpse stench, and his face was suddenly as blue as iron. Although this is also to blame Mu Liu's poor choice of position, but he can't blame himself, after all, although Mu Liu is a person in the six doors, he is only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy after all, and this kind of corpse observation and murder matter has his own work to deal with. Today, he was dragged by Fang Xiao to perform an autopsy, and he inhaled this evil breath without noticing for a while.

"It's okay. Fang Xiao asked, although this corpse smell is not a big deal, but it is cold and cold, but it has to be slowed down after taking a sip. Muliu Kung Fu is also outstanding among the younger generation, although it is still a little disgusting, but it has long been relieved, so he waved his hand at Fang Xiao.

Seeing this, Fang Xiao didn't care about him anymore, and settled down to observe this white bone. It is estimated that he is five feet four inches, and there are some messy scratches on the front sternum, which should be a sword wound. Fang Xiao looked down again, and after a while, he raised his head with a smile, "Come on." ”

"What's the matter?" Mu Liu looked at Fang Xiao blankly.

Fang Xiao couldn't help but wonder, "Look what this is." Then he pointed to a rib on the lower right side of the white bone.

Mu Liu hurriedly followed Fang Xiao's fingers, only to see a broken one about half the thickness of a finger, "You mean this is an injury caused by a fork?" Mu Liu is not a stupid person, can he still understand what Fang Xiao is referring to when he sees this, so he said.

"So our previous reasoning is correct. Fang Xiao said and beckoned Mu Liu to continue to close the coffin with him.

"But what can we do? Can we still go to the Whale Gang and get people?" said Mu Liu, closing the coffin board.

"Although we can be sure that the Whale Gang is very suspicious, after all, they are not the only ones who use the fork. You can also report the news obtained by Siwenge to Liu Yutian according to the truth about what I think and what I have discovered this time. Fang Xiao said and stepped out.

"Then I'll fly these things to him later. "Shepherd is the right color.

"Compared to this, I'm more worried that the Heavenly Sword Sect will take advantage of this to use troops against the Giant Whale Gang. Fang Xiao looked at Mu Liu and said.

"Hey, this is really a difficult thing, the masters of my six doors in Jinling City have exhausted, and these Jianghu sects have always refused to accept the jurisdiction and coordination of our six gates, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to control with my three-legged cat kung fu." I have to hope that Liu Yutian's old bastard can sympathize with me and send two of the silver medals back from Brother Niu. Muliu gritted his teeth.

"Look at your gritted teeth, is there no way to solve it, as long as the Giant Whale Gang can hand over a 'culprit' and push this matter onto that person, then the Heavenly Sword Gate will not be able to say anything about this matter. Fang Xiao shook her fan and said.

"What do you mean by that?" asked the Makira.

"If the Giant Whale Gang said that it was a gang that didn't open its eyes and had friction with this Heavenly Sword Sect disciple, they killed him by mistake for a while. Then the Giant Whale Gang was making a righteous and awe-inspiring gesture, what do you say the Sword Gate will do this day?" Fang Xiao still shook his fan gently.

"Could it be that the Heavenly Sword Sect will stop in this way?" Mu Liu still looked puzzled.

"If he Heavenly Sword Sect had not been ranked among the eight major factions, I would naturally not dare to be so sure, but he is one of the eight major factions, then he will definitely maintain the majesty and strength of the great faction. If the Giant Whale Gang is such a low-profile and indomitable, the Heavenly Sword Gate will definitely have a bad reputation in the rivers and lakes, which is absolutely not allowed by those famous and decent families, so in this way, the Heavenly Sword Sect will play a trick behind the scenes, but it will definitely not start a war with the Giant Whale Gang. Fang Xiao indifferently explained Mu Liu's question.

"Then what are we waiting for, let's go to the Whale Gang. Mu Liu said.

"Forget it's late today, let's go tomorrow. Anyway, the Heavenly Sword Gate hasn't come yet. Fang Xiao said and suddenly turned his head and asked, "It's broken, what time is it?" ”

"I'm afraid it's going to be a bad time. Mu Liu glanced at the sky and said.

Looking at Fang Xiao again, he saw that he was already running out like an arrow from a bow.

The lights in the main hall of the Fang Mansion were still on, and Fang Liangping was pacing slowly with his back to the door. Fang Xiao quietly went around the inside.

"Coming back?" Fang Liang said suddenly.

Fang Xiao secretly said in her heart that she couldn't escape now, but she also had to turn around and say, "The child has seen his father." ”

"Well, where have you been today, I haven't seen you for a day. Fang Liangping sat back on the main seat in the hall, picked up a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

Fang Xiao knew that it was useless to tell some useless lies, so he gritted his teeth and told all about today's events from the Siwen Pavilion to the six doors of the autopsy. Fang Liang commented on what he said, but he didn't say anything. It's just that after he finished speaking, he said, "Go to the ancestral hall and kneel by yourself, I remember telling you that you are not allowed to enter the six doors for half a minute." ”

Fang Xiao responded, "Yes." So he walked alone to the ancestral hall.

After Fang Xiao walked to the ancestral hall, Fang Liangping's face showed a slightly solemn look.

"Master, forgive me for talking too much. It's not a bad thing for this young master to investigate the case. A rickety old man slowly walked into the main hall from the front hall and said to Fang Liang.

"Uncle Seven, it's not that you don't know about the second brother. Moreover, after all, the six doors are different from ordinary court departments, and their involvement in the affairs of the rivers and lakes is only a matter of life and death. My wife and I are just Xiao'er's son. There is also a second brother, how can I rest assured that he will go here. Fang Liang commented and felt a little complaining.

"Hey, I watched you and the second master grow up, but the second master's matter was just an accident after all. The old man, who was called the Seventh Uncle, continued to comment on Fang Liang, "Besides, even if the old master protects the young master from touching this, can you really guarantee that he will be safe for the rest of his life? After all, he is~"

"Seventh Uncle!" Fang Liang suddenly shouted.

"It's the little old man, I lost my words, but if you protect him like this, master, he won't be able to fly. Uncle Seven said again, and it was better to turn around than in the dark.

"Can't you really fly?" Fang Liangping read silently, looking at a letter on the table. On the envelope was written "Linyu (Fang Liang's character) brother Qinqi", followed by a vermilion official seal of six doors.
