After a slight pause, Lin Peng continued: "Manager Cao sighed, looking very embarrassed, and said, the Kuangyi Gang is now gaining momentum, and the huge cost is not something I can imagine. If you can do your best for the gang and eliminate the bandits, why not, besides, the gang leader personally said that the chief manager could directly mobilize the black-clothed team, so I have no doubt about him, and set off from the Kuangyi Gang overnight, and drove for two nights and one day before arriving at Shannan Guandao, and led the brothers to set up an ambush in a dangerous place. ”

After saying so many words, Lin Peng seemed to be extremely tired, pursed his lips, and continued: "At that time, we all felt strange in our hearts, on the official road, people should be walking back and forth with cars and horses, but after waiting for a few hours, we didn't see a person or a horse passing by. Just in doubt, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and from the top of the cliff, there were a total of seventeen horses. The man at the head was slightly bald, very strong, with a sledgehammer in his hand, and the ones behind him were each holding different weapons, but the horses were all hunched with burdens, although everyone rode horses and galloped, the burden was only slightly shaken, and it was obvious that the objects inside were very heavy. Maybe it's because there is no one around, those people speak unscrupulously, and we listen very clearly. The man at the head said: 'I don't know why, there are no people walking on this official road today?' A person next to him answered: "There are few people just less right and wrong." Someone laughed and said, 'With these taels of silver, it can really be spent for a while!' When I heard this, I couldn't help but be angry and said, 'Sure enough, these dog thieves are undoubtedly these thieves, and they have gathered people's wealth for their own expenses!'

Speaking of this, Lin Peng's face was extremely remorseful, and said: "Although the martial arts of those people are not weak, how can the black-clothed team be the dead soldiers trained by the Kuangyi Gang, all of them only seek to kill the enemy, not to protect themselves, after a hard fight, although several of his brothers have hung up the color, those people have all died under our swords! We opened those burdens, and sure enough, they were all yellow and white things, and I said in my heart that these people are really innocent of death, let the brothers pick up all those burdens, and then lead the crowd back." ”

After returning from the victory, Manager Cao praised the black-clothed team again and again, and said that I was a great hero to eliminate harm for the people. Although I am the leader of the black-clothed team, I am empty of martial arts, I can only occasionally receive some secret missions, and I can't walk in the rivers and lakes a few times a year. The second time Manager Cao came to dispatch me again, I didn't think about it when I heard that it was to exterminate the bandits, so I agreed. Speaking of which, Lin Peng looked at Lin Hongfeng and said, "Mrs. Cao, can you still use me to elaborate on the second action?"

At this time, everyone was silent, not knowing what to say, and after a while, he listened to the head of the Hunan Central League and said regretfully: "This is really a misunderstanding, because the black-clothed team is a secret force cultivated by your gang, and it is not known to others, and it is rarely walked around the rivers and lakes, although the martial arts are high, the experience is shallow, but the people in the team do not even recognize the brothers of Luomazhai and Taihu Qimen, so they are used and made a big mistake!"

Lin Longqing sighed slightly, took his hand off Lin Hongfeng's shoulder, but heard her laugh in a low voice, and said, "Why are you all framing him like this, and what is the benefit to you...... Book Sword ...... Shujian ......" and then laughed loudly: "You have a spirit in the sky, look at it, they bully our orphans and widows like this, and tarnish your reputation!"

Lin Peng frowned slightly, but still looked at the roof and said, "Madam, why did I lie to you?" Later, the helper happened to talk to me, and I told the helper about the two dispatches. Hearing this, the helper's face changed greatly, and he frowned and thought for a while, and said, "You go find your father." When my father came, the two of them entered the inner room, and I was still happy outside, and I said in my heart, 'It must be because the helper sees that I have made meritorious service to the gang and eliminated harm for the people, and he has consulted with my father to reward me.' If I want to be rewarded, I would rather not be the captain of this team, if I can walk the rivers and lakes openly and make a name for myself. When they came out, my father was already full of anger, told me to kneel, and said, 'Brute, do you know the good deeds you have done?' The owner of Luoma Village and others were killed on 12 February, and the owner of Taihu Qimen He and others were killed on 7 June...... The silver they were carrying to support the Taihu rebels and refugees was robbed and their whereabouts are unknown, and the murderer of them has not yet been found! You, you ......'"

"These two dates exploded in my ears like a thunderbolt, and I was speechless, but my father struck me with a palm, and said, 'Beast, I will slap you to death today!' I didn't know what to do at that time, and I knelt there in a daze, and I didn't know how to dodge, but it was the helper who stopped my father and said, 'Peng'er doesn't know anything, don't be busy punishing him.' He turned back to me and said, 'If this happens, you can't do it anymore, the captain of the blacks.' If my guess is correct, Cao Shujian has secretly taken refuge in the imperial court, and used you to remove the thorns in the eyes of these imperial courts. I'm going to spy on him again, and you must not tell anyone about today, you know?"

"I just nodded blankly and agreed, knowing that I had made a big mistake, and there would be no recovery, the seventh article of the gang rules 'It is strictly forbidden to help the people collude with the government and harm the people in the green forest, and the violators will be killed by eighty sticks and thirteen knives', colluding with the court and harming the brothers in the martial arts, what a big crime! The gang leader said to his father again: 'Daddy Lin, I think the next captain will let Peng'er's junior brother do it, but the matter is clarified, after the gang rules punish the people who participated that day, there will not be many people in the black-clothed team, and you will have to bother you to send up manpower to train again. Then he said slowly: "Father Lin, you are my old servant, but my father and I both respect you very much, you are only Peng'er, I will find a way to let him not be punished." ’”

Speaking of this, Father Lin had already turned around, and couldn't bear to listen anymore, Lin Longqing walked to the stretcher and squatted down, put his hand on Lin Peng's hand, and said slowly: "Brother Lin is a good man, he listened to my words and kowtowed again and again, saying that he was willing to be punished by the gang rules, and only begged me to save your brothers from death...... When I asked him if it was true, he looked resolute, kowtowed to his father three times, and said, "Thank you for your kindness to my father and master for raising and teaching me for so many years, and I can't repay you as a son and apprentice." After that, his voice was a little choked, and everyone present was also extremely emotional.

Lin Longqing said: "This gang rule is to be killed by eighty sticks and thirteen knives, but it must be executed twice, first eighty sticks, and after the stick wound heals, then suffer these thirteen knives, break tendons and cut veins and die." I just didn't expect it...... After Peng'er was punished with these eighty sticks, I was forced to leave the gang!"

Lin Hongfeng said sharply: "You forced the book sword to death first! The words on the letter are obviously your handwriting, how can you explain it? It's nonsense, you are all deceiving people!" Kuang Yi helped everyone to be persuaded by this Lin Peng, and said secretly: "If Manager Cao really deceived Lin Peng to lead the black-clothed team to snipe at fellow martial artists, that letter would be strange, with his mind, I'm afraid it is impossible to forge one, but the providence of God made him use this blood letter when he was dying, but it also deceived us." ”

Seeing that his son had narrated for such a long time, Lin Hongfeng still said that he was lying, his face sank, and he walked quickly to the stretcher, and said: "Mrs. Cao, thanks to your husband, my own son has become like this, why does he still lie to you?"

The body was obviously bedridden for a long time, very pale, wearing only a short coat and trousers, it can be seen that it was directly transferred from the bed, and there was an obvious sword wound on the shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, and ankle, and the lower hand seemed to be extremely ruthless and deep, although the place where the sword was used had grown well, it was still skin and flesh turned out, revealing pink flesh, and the broken tendons were faintly visible on both sides, and the limbs were all atrophied and extremely thin and dry.

Father Lin's voice seemed to be very ethereal, and he said, "Madame, have you seen enough?" There are two other places in the back, one on the neck and one on the back. The man surnamed Tang had tears in his eyes and yelled at Father Lin: "Master, why are you so ruthless to Senior Brother?" Father Lin looked blank and said dumbly: "If you violate the gang rules, you will naturally be punished." Madam, these twelve sword wounds have broken the meridians of his whole body, he can only lie on the bed, you see......" He slowly lifted Lin Peng's arm and shook it, the arm seemed to have no bones, Daddy Lin raised the arm again, and instantly let go, and the arm fell on the stretcher even if it collapsed softly, "Madam, take a look...... That's it......"

Lin Hongfeng had already turned his eyes, but saw Lin Longqing coming behind him at some point, his eyes were slightly red, and he said angrily: "Sister, why don't you look at it, you look back, they are killed by your good brother-in-law who wants to avenge him!

Daddy Lin didn't seem to hear it, but muttered: "After Peng'er's stick was healed, the gang leader was forced out of the gang, and I don't know what happened, but I feel that this matter has nothing to do with Mr. Cao, but Mr. Cao is also dead, and what objects were left before he died to frame the gang leader...... I was drunk, so I took the sword to Peng'er to help the rules, Peng'er is a good boy, dare not hide, received my twelve swords, blood flowed all over the ground, as long as a stroke to the neck, it is to complete the gang rules, but he woke me up, said: 'Daddy, the child is not afraid of death, dead is a hundred times stronger than this meridian is broken and alive, but if I die, who will speak for the gang leader in the future?' Peng'er lived for four years without dying like this, and I also accompanied him half-crazy and half-stupid for four years......" After that, he was already in tears, and he couldn't cry.

Lin Peng looked calm and said: "Daddy, although I don't know the inside story, I have harmed the heroes of Luomazhai and Taihu Qimen, intercepted their silver salaries, and harmed the Taihu rebels and refugees who are waiting for their assistance...... This is my sin, and today I have made it clear, but it is lighter. After that, he looked at Daddy Lin, seeing that his eyes were resolute, Daddy Lin nodded with a smile, and quickly pulled out a long sword from Lin Hongfeng's waist and slashed at Lin Peng's throat.

Daddy Lin stepped forward and slowly closed Lin Peng's eyes, but he never let go of the long sword in his hand, Lin Longqing did not stop Lin Peng's death, he was already very remorseful, and at this moment he stared closely at the long sword in Daddy Lin's hand, and saw that the hand holding the sword trembled slightly, and his heart was anxious, so he stepped forward and pointed at Daddy Lin's shoulders, and said, "Daddy, you ......"

Father Lin let go of his hand, the long sword fell to the ground with a "dang bang", turned his head and smiled at Lin Longqing: "Why should the helper be like this, I am already very old, I will not die today, and I can guarantee that I will survive for a few years? Lin Longqing was stunned for a while, but he had nothing to say, he only stretched out his hand and untied the acupoint, and said: "Dad, we are sorry for you......" Father Lin no longer looked at him, walked up to the man surnamed Tang and said: "Apprentice, you must listen to the help master in the future, and do not forget the master's instructions on weekdays." Finally, Fang slowly walked to the stretcher, bowed down and picked up Lin Peng's body, two teardrops rolled down, slowly walked to the door of the lobby, paused, walked out, blended into the twilight, and never saw him again.

Everyone in the hall was embarrassed, Lin Longqing's eyes looked around, and finally fell on Lin Hongfeng, lowered his head and picked up the long sword that fell on the ground, gently wiped the blood stains on the sword with the placket of his clothes, inserted it back into the scabbard on Lin Hongfeng's waist, and said softly: "Sister, this is the whole thing that happened that day." Later, I persuaded my brother-in-law not to have any more dealings with the court, but he refused to listen, so I slapped him, and I only used seven or eight points of skill, and I did not have the intention of harming him. As for how he was poisoned and died, I really don't know. The handwriting of that broken letter is so similar that I can't tell whether it's true or not, and I don't know how to explain it. ”

Lin Longqing looked at the heads of the other factions again, sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Cao Shujian, who experienced this incident at that time, has died, and Lin Peng is also bloodstained on the spot, I don't know if this result can be regarded as an explanation to Wulinzhong? Lin Longqing took into account the reputation of the Kuangyi Gang and the love of marriage that day, and failed to make the matter public in time, but unexpectedly, it turned into an elbow later, and it was Lin Longqing's fault that he had delayed so far. I wonder if you have any more requests?"

Everyone glanced at each other, but they didn't know how to answer correctly, Nian Yongshou walked up to Lin Longqing and patted his shoulder and said, "Gang Master Lin doesn't have to blame himself too much. The mastermind of the day has been dead for four years, but it's a pity that Captain Lin, a bloody man who values love and righteousness, alas, the old man really admires him. After that, he already gave a thumbs up: "I just have something to say, it was indeed you who was wrong that day, alas, if you made the matter public, Captain Lin would not have died so tragically, maybe your brother-in-law would not have been poisoned, things in the world are like this, one thought, the result is completely wrong." ”
