The eyes of the four people on the stage met, nodded, Qi Fan took a step forward, and said in a clear voice: "Beggar gang rules, all my beggar gang disciples, must not commit crimes, betray the gang leader, must be loyal to the teacher, respect the teacher and friends, and must not kill each other." Lei Kan violated the second, eleventh, and twenty-second articles of the gang rules, first cut off his two arms, and then died with a cane! After the gang rules were enforced, the head was taken to pay tribute to the gang leader!"

Immediately four disciples came up, holding a sharp blade, the blade was as bright as snow, two of them put Lei Kan's arm up, the other two took a long breath, put the blade on Lei Kan's shoulder and compared, then raised it high, only to hear a short drink, the two knives fell instantly, there was a cracking sound, Lei Kan suddenly screamed again and again, the two arms had been cut off alive, fell to the ground, the fingers were still stretched and bent, and the body fell to the ground, and the body fell to the ground, twisting and turning.

Even though the people in the rivers and lakes who watched the punishment worked hard under the sword all the year round, they couldn't help but feel a little chill down their spines when they saw this scene, and they all admired the strict rules of the beggar gang in their hearts.

The four disciples had finished their executions, and they showed their blades upwards and walked down quickly, and in an instant, eight more disciples came up, judging from the hanging bell of the long staff in their hands, all of them were people of some status, and raised the staff high, and one of them snorted lightly, and the eight long rods suddenly kept knocking down, hitting Lei Kan with a muffled sound.

Those executioning disciples hated it very much in their hearts, so they were ruthless, and they all used ten percent of their strength, and the muffled sound slowly turned into a sound like hitting the mud, Lei Kan kept screaming in pain at first, and gradually lost his voice, and his back was already mottled with blood, lying there like a mess of meat.

Qi Fan walked down the steps, bent down and stretched out his fingers to lightly touch Lei Kan's nose, his face showed a hint of happiness, and said loudly: "This thief has already served his sentence and died, bring a knife!"

A disciple had already walked quickly, holding a tray in his hand, Qi Fan rolled up his sleeves, picked up the knife with one hand, and pulled up Lei Kan's hair with the other, his eyes did not hide his hatred at all, and the knife fell in his hand, and a puff of blood sprayed Qi Fan's face all over his face, only to hear him laugh and laugh: "Nian Gang Master! Brother Nian! The whole gang has avenged you today!" The laughter gradually turned into a cry, extremely mournful.

Yue Lingfeng and Fang Zheng only looked sweaty, they only said that Lin Jianlan was going to break the inside story at the end of the battle, but unexpectedly, he watched Lei Kan die under the gang rules, and wanted to ask questions several times, seeing that he was just staring upward, the corners of his mouth moved slightly when he heard Qi Fan crying bitterly.

Diao Beidou's face was also extremely heavy, and he went down the steps to lift Qi Fan up and return to the spirit, and the Fengdao disciple picked up the head and put it on the plate, and handed it to Tang Zimu's hand, seeing that his face was like frost, he held the tray and put it in front of the Nian Yongshou spiritual position, picked up a glass of water and wine, turned around and slowly sprinkled it on the ground, and two tears instantly fell to the ground with the water and wine.

Everyone also picked up the water and wine that had been prepared in front of the spirit shed and poured it on the ground, and listened to Tang Zimu: "Thank you, this gang has prepared a meal, although it is rude, I would like to express my gratitude to this gang." ”

These people saw that the memorial seemed to have come to an end, Fang breathed a sigh of relief, but how could they have the heart to eat, some came from afar, and had already begun to say goodbye, Yue Lingfeng pulled Lin Jianlan into the spirit shed, but saw Nian Xiaoxia staying inside, with tears on his face, and said hurriedly: "Brother Lin, what's going on?"

Lin Jianlan wiped the tears of the young man with his fingers, and said, "The little man is afraid that he was frightened by the battle just now." ”

Nian Xiaoxia shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid, I also listen to you, I don't hate Elder Tang anymore, can you help me find the person who killed my grandfather?"

Lin Jianlan nodded and said, "This is natural, let's pull the hook." After that, he picked up Nian Xiaoxia's little finger and hooked it, and seeing that Yue and Fang were still in a hurry, he turned around and said: "Brother Yue, Hall Master Fang, I still need to deal with some affairs, you go to the Tongfu Inn at the east gate of the city first, and then explain all this to you when I come back." The two of them sighed relative to each other, and when they came out of the spirit shed, Fang Zheng said: "We are all kept in the dark by him now, and I just hope that the little boy will not mess things up." ”

Lin Jianlan meditated in the spirit shed for a long time, Fang led Nian Xiaoxia and walked out, seeing that the spirit shed had been removed, even if he didn't leave today, he had already found another place to live in the city, only the Kuang Yi Gang was left, and there were already disciples who came to demolish it.

Now the twilight is fading, the tired birds return to the forest, and a large flock is thrown into the woods behind the temple, and after the noise there is silence. The eyes are full of black yarn, the white flowers are scattered, except for the low-level disciples who clean up, the others have been busy chasing Lei Kan these days, arranging sacrifices, and they have rested early, Nian Xiaoxia felt that his hand was suddenly pinched, looked up, and saw Lin Jianlan sighing, and pulled himself towards the back of the temple.

There was already a person waiting there in the woods, and the shadows under the trees were swaying, holding the person in the darkness, and only a faint voice came: "Lin Gongzi, I have been waiting here for a long time." ”

Lin Jianlan frowned slightly and said, "Brother Tang, I want to meet Brother Lei." ”

Tang Zimu smiled faintly in the shadow of the tree and said, "Don't you dare to believe me?" ”

Lin Jianlan didn't make a sound, just followed him and walked slowly, but he didn't arrive for a long time, so he picked up Nian Xiaoxia and carried it on his shoulder, and walked in the city for about half an hour before he arrived at a house. ”

Lin Jianlan said in his heart that Tang Zimu was really careful in his work, and just said "Xie" and walked into the house with Nian Xiaoxia, at this time the sky was very dark, a crescent moon in the clouds from time to time, vaguely visible in the house There was a person pacing back and forth, very anxious, and when he saw someone coming up, he said loudly: "Lin Gongzi?

Lei Kan said: "My injuries are out of the way, what is the big sacrifice of the gang leader today? Why are you locking me here? Lin Gongzi, can you find out clearly? Alas! I am really confused, since you didn't take me to pay tribute today, you must have cleared my wrongs and captured the real culprit!"

Lin Jianlan didn't know where to start when he heard this series of questions, so he helped Lei Kan aside and sat down and said, "Brother Lei, don't worry. When he turned around and was about to close the door, he saw that Tang Zimu had already brought a lantern, so he reached out and took it and covered the door.

There was finally a little light in the room, and seeing that Lei Kan was looking forward to it, Lin Jianlan pulled a chair and sat down, beckoned to Nian Xiaoxia, and said, "Xiaoxia, do you recognize him?"

Without waiting for Nian Xiaoxia to speak, Lei Kan said: "Lin Gongzi, he is blind, he can't see it if you beckon, let alone let him recognize me......" Speaking of this, he saw Nian Xiaoxia walking to Lin Jianlan's side, looking at him with a pair of eyes, he was speechless, and stammered: "He...... Can he see?"

Lin Jianlan said: "Since you said that he is blind, it seems that he has seen it, Xiaoxia, can you tell me about that night again?" Nian Xiaoxia nodded, and started from the beginning, after finishing speaking, it was already dark outside, and only a trace of fire was dancing on the candlestick in the room.

Lin Jianlan said apologetically: "Brother Lei, the situation is extremely complicated, I am really ashamed to say it, and I still don't know who the name is 'Guanshi Moyu', although I believe what Xiaoxia said, but what a six or seven-year-old child said, most others are not convinced." As a member of the Kuangyi Gang, if I stand out, I am afraid that we Kuangyi Gang have ill intentions and instruct the drooping young children to make up nonsense and have bad intentions. ”

Lei Kan said: "So what? Today's memorial has passed, doesn't it show that I am not the one who killed the old gang leader?"

Lin Jianlan sighed: "Not only is it really the murderer, even if it is Elder Tang, I don't know his identity and origin, he abandoned Wanguan's family fortune and tried his best to help the beggar gang, saying that he had a plot against the beggar gang, who would believe it? The blood word that refers to you as a murderer is indeed written by the old gang leader, you want the whole gang to believe our guesses and inferences based on the words of young children, and you are sad to ascend to the sky!" Seeing Lei Kan hanging his head and saying nothing, Lin Jianlan said softly: "Brother Lei, 'Lei Kan' has confessed to being ambushed, but you are still alive." ”

Lei Kan was a little dazed, looked up and said, "What does this mean?"

Lin Jianlan said: "This is the deal, let you live, find someone to be punished for you, and Xiaoxia and I can't reveal half of what Tang Zimu said that night." ”

Lei Kan was suddenly at a loss, dumbfounded for a long time, stood up on the table, but knocked down the candlestick, the flame jumped a few times and then extinguished, the room fell into darkness, and he whispered: "Lin Gongzi, that is, Lei Kan is still regarded as a traitor in the gang, and I will live incognito in the future, but?"

Lin Jianlan was leaning down to grope for the lamp, and when he heard his gloomy tone, he stopped and said, "Brother Lei, time is really pressing, in just three days, there is no way to track it down." At this point, this is the best outcome. ”

Lin Jianlan touched the candlestick in his hand and said, "Xiaoxia went and re-lit it." But he heard Lei Kan say: "Lin Gongzi, no need, you can go back." ”

Lin Jianlan was very reluctant in his heart, got up and was a little able to adapt to the darkness, pulled Nian Xiaoxia over, and listened to Lei Kan again: "Lin Gongzi, my tone is a little heavy, don't you mind, you have taken care of me all the way, and you are willing to help me find out the truth, I have no ability myself, and it is not easy to survive." ”

Lin Jianlan said: "Brother Lei, don't blame me, your waist and abdomen injuries have not healed yet, and it is not appropriate to show up in a short time, but you can recuperate here for a period of time first, Tang Zimu and I have words first, he will not dare to do anything to you." After that, he opened the door, and a cool breeze blew in his face, as if he had been suffocating and suffocating for a long time, and at this time he could finally take a breather, and when he looked up and saw that the moon had long since disappeared in the sky, he was covered by layers of thick clouds, and it seemed that there was another spring rain.

Lin Jianlan exhaled lightly and said, "Brother Lei, do you remember what I said that day? Temporarily relieved, I will definitely catch ......" The words were not finished, but I heard a muffled sound of "bang" behind him, the sound seemed to hit people's hearts, Lin Jianlan turned his head in amazement, and the white wall in front of him was like a dark flower blooming, and the color could not be seen clearly under the dim moonlight, and the figure under the wall still said intermittently: "My name has been stained, but what ......"

The "bell" of the candlestick fell to the ground, and General Fang Lin Jianlan woke up, only to feel unsteady on his feet for a while, and ran in three or two steps, but Lei Kan was already out of breath.

Lin Jianlan opened his mouth, and kept shouting "why" in his heart, but he couldn't say anything, seeing the thin figure of the young man standing in the night, looking inside with his eyes open, he slowly straightened up, but he felt that his steps were like stepping on cotton, and somehow he arrived at the door, gently put his hand over his eyes, and for a while, two warm tears slipped through his palm.

After a burst of thunder, the bean-sized raindrops crackled on the ground. Looking up, Tang Zimu was waiting in the pavilion in the courtyard, staring at the house with bright eyes, the white clothes were especially dazzling in the night, Lin Jianlan lowered his head and said softly: "Xiaoxia, you go to the corridor to wait for me first, go." ”

Nian Xiaoxia saw that his face was very pale, his lips were tightly pursed, he trembled freely, but his tone was hard and unquestionable, although he was a little worried in his heart, he still ran out along the corridor far away. Lin Jianlan turned around and walked towards the pavilion step by step.

Tang Zimu frowned tightly, thoughtfully, and when he saw Lin Jianlan coming, he said softly: "Unexpectedly, Lei Kan can't think about it like this, I will arrange for someone to bury him." But Lin Jianlan grabbed the collar of his coat, and a lightning bolt came down, seeing that his face was snow-white, but the corners of his mouth had been bitten by him, and there were faint traces of blood, and he said angrily: "In your eyes, he is just a stupid person who can survive but can't think of it, and a person's innocence and life seem like mustard in your opinion?"

Tang Zimu was not panicked, and said calmly: "Lin Gongzi, it was my idea to frame him with the blood of the old gang leader back then, but today I have found someone else to die for him according to your instructions, and I can't return his innocence for the time being. ”

Hearing this, Lin Jianlan was stunned, and a sense of frustration swelled in his heart, and he let go of his hand in despair, and muttered: "Why would you rather drop your bag than say the name of 'Guanshi Moyu'?"

Tang Zimu straightened his collar and said, "The deal you and I are talking about just can't harm the lives of Lei Kan and Nian Xiaoxia, and it doesn't include confessing that person." ”

Lin Jianlan said: "People in the rivers and lakes, chivalry comes first, even if you can't save the life of the old gang leader, you have to do your best to avenge him, in your opinion, all this can be seen as a transaction that you can profit from." ”

Tang Zimu smiled and said: "Lin Gongzi, don't forget, I am not from the rivers and lakes, although I envy happiness and hatred, I also have my bitterness." ”

Lin Jianlan shook his head and said, "Are you in trouble? In less than half a day, you can bring in a felony who looks similar to Brother Lei, and it can be said that your hands and eyes are all over the sky, so what's the purpose of staying in the beggar gang?"
