Fang Zheng said: "It's very good for the gang leader to deal with it like this, this is an eventful time in the gang, so it is naturally the best to turn big things into small things and small things into nothing, and it doesn't hurt the harmony of brothers." ”

Qin Tianxiong said with a smile: "It's good for the helper to make up his mind alone! The helper doesn't have to ask us how to deal with this matter, and it should be punished according to the gang's rules, I still think that if I can be used, I will teach the helper a lesson, and I am not willful enough! But listening to the helper's words just now, I am afraid that it is much more thoughtful than us." ”

Zhang Liantao also smiled, and then said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid the helper is not only here for this matter, right?"

Lin Longqing nodded and said, "Just now, the leader of the Beggar Gang sent someone to come, saying that there was a clue about the things in the gang a few years ago, and I must go to Chang'an." ”

The three of them didn't expect that Lin Longqing would leave again after returning to the gang for a few days, Fang Zheng said: "With all due respect, at this time, because of the matter of becoming a doctor, the hearts of the people in the gang are fluctuating, and the gang leader really shouldn't travel far." ”

Lin Longqing sighed: "I don't know, it's just that the Nian Gang Master sent people here for thousands of miles, it must be very important, the opportunity to reveal the mystery a few years ago is just around the corner, I'm afraid it's fleeting." ”

Qin Tianxiong said: "Helper, we all know that you were framed before, and Mrs. Cao and Miss Cao also returned to the Cao family, why do you always think about that matter? How many big things are there in the rivers and lakes now, but you are always obsessed with the previous mysteries, to be honest, what changes can you make if the water does not fall?"

Lin Longqing couldn't say that Cao Shujian's death was not poisoned by Dr. Cheng but someone else, and the people who stirred up the crowd to chase after him in the crowd that night were probably still lurking in the gang, as well as the group of masters who besieged him in the Water Pavilion, all of which were related to the survival of the Kuangyi Gang, so he had to say in a slightly slower tone: "What the brothers said is right, I plan to let Lan'er go for me, and go to Chang'an with the people sent by the gang leader in the same year tomorrow morning, and I can also inquire about the whereabouts of the two hall masters of Bianzhou and Yongzhou." ”

As soon as the three of them heard that Lin Jianlan was sent to go, it was inconvenient to dissuade them, but they were a little worried, Lin Jianlan said: "It's just to follow that eldest brother to Chang'an to find out the news, there is no danger, uncles and uncles don't have to worry." ”

Qin Tianxiong said: "Since the helper regards this matter so important, little boy, you must not live up to the helper's trust, and when you see the old helper, you must ask clearly and understand." The three of them took a few more words, and then sent Lin Longqing and the others out of the door.

When he returned to his residence, it was already the third watch, and Lin Longqing was sleepy, so he let Lin Jianlan stay in his house alone. Walking outside the house, he took a deep breath, and suddenly felt cold to his heart, thinking that Lin Jianlan was going to stay away from the main hall alone, and he didn't know how long it would take to come back, so he took out a burning bomb, and carried the bomb into the air, and in a moment the burning bomb exploded silently.

Lin Longqing stood quietly outside the water pavilion for about an hour, when he heard the faint sound of footsteps, a black shadow jumped from under the eaves and bowed: "What's the matter with the helper?" But it was Tang Yan, the captain of the black-clothed team in the rescue hall that day.

Lin Jianlan was in a daze in the back room and was about to fall asleep, but he felt a low voice outside to speak, he wondered in his heart, thought about it, pursed his lips and smiled, and flashed to the door, but heard Lin Longqing's voice be cold and said: "Brother Tang, you need to pay close attention to him from time to time!"

I heard Tang Yan say again: "What about Mrs. Cao?"

Hearing Tang Yan mention Mrs. Cao, Lin Jianlan also wanted to know the recent situation between her and Yin Yin, and listened to Lin Longqing's voice and said a little softly: "These days, I don't know if she and Yin Yin are good." ”

Tang Yan said: "Cao Shupeng's ambition is not small, and he is counting on Mrs. Cao and Yin Yin to turn the river and the sea, so he takes care of him very wholeheartedly on weekdays. It's just that with all due respect, since Madame went to Cao's house, she feels that her temper has become more and more strange and unspeakable. ”

Lin Longqing sighed: "Telling the truth that day hurt Daddy Lin's family, and overturned the belief that Hongfeng relied on to survive in those years, and I still don't know if what I did was right or wrong." ”

Tang Yan said: "The helper has endured for three years, and has never said the truth, he is already worthy of this brother-sister relationship. ”

Lin Longqing nodded, and asked again, "Is Yin Yin okay?"

When Lin Jianlan heard the word "Yin Yin", he immediately remembered the situation of dealing with the two old men side by side that day, and he had a lot of contact with her, but just once, but it was always unforgettable.

Tang Yan said: "Miss is already very much loved by her grandfather, among the children of the same generation, her talent is the most outstanding, Cao Yunhe personally instructed whenever he had time, and personally passed on the jade character thirteen styles to her." ”

Lin Longqing frowned and said, "It's not appropriate for such a young child to practice such a vicious and fierce move. I heard that Cao Yunhe invited Professor Yin Yin from the Tianshan Mountains, how is the progress?"

Tang Yan said: "Miss is a very fast natural learner, because she has been using double swords since she was a child, and Master Wuxue specially created a set of swordsmanship for her, called 'Double Blooming Snow'." ”

Lin Longqing smiled and said: "Master Wuxue is too cold by nature to be close to, but Yin Yin is right about her temperament, the name of this sword technique is appropriate, alas, but I remember that Yin Yin was not so indifferent when he was a child." ”

Lin Jianlan's heart was gloomy when she heard this, thinking of the tragic changes in Yin Yin's family, her father was poisoned and died suddenly, and her mother mentioned to her every day that she practiced martial arts to avenge her father, how could she afford it at a young age, I don't know if she had really laughed over the years.

Tang Yan said again: "Since the helper asked me to monitor that person, if there is no change, my subordinates will naturally be able to take care of Mrs. Cao and Miss Cao secretly, if there is a situation, who will be sent by the Jade Sword Gate?"

Lin Longqing said: "Listening to what you just said, they are not in danger in the Jade Sword Gate for the time being, so there is no need for you to be distracted and take care of them." I just hope that this person is not really as I think, alas, the Kuang Yi Gang can't stand any more toss. Before that, I would like to entrust you with this letter and send it to the three neighboring branch churches at once, so that the owners of these halls can temporarily put aside the matter of reconstruction, and I will have important things to explain when they return to the main hall. ”

Tang Yan nodded, took the letter and put it away carefully, and quietly disappeared into the deep night.

Lin Longqing rubbed his temples, felt a little tired, softly pushed the door into the house, and saw Lin Jianlan sleeping soundly on the bed, so he leaned on the desk to recuperate a little, but he heard the four watches knocked outside, and there was gradually the sound of people coming and going in the quiet hall, the patrol posts everywhere changed shifts, and there was also a faint sound of shouting and fighting on the side of the martial arts arena, and it was a sleepless night.

Lin Jianlan listened to the sound outside, and didn't dare to let Lin Longqing find out that he was pretending to be asleep, so he only lay stiffly on the bed for a while, and when he heard the movement in the main hall, Fang jumped up from the bed and began to pack up his personal use on the road, and came out with a small burden on his back in a moment, seeing Lin Longqing's haggard face, but his heart was sour, and said: "Uncle Qing doesn't have to worry about me, I have traveled a lot of miles by myself, and I will not cause trouble in vain." ”

Lin Longqing said with a smile: "I don't have to worry about your handling of things, but I still lack the experience of the rivers and lakes, after meeting the old gang leader, just pass the book to me, you don't have to rush back, it is also beneficial to walk outside." ”

Lin Jianlan nodded goodbye and went out, and after using some breakfast with Lei Kanha, he quietly left the Hangzhou main hall when the east was slightly white.

The city of Hangzhou is still silent, there is a little fog on the long street, only the sound of two horse's hooves galloping, mixed with the bell of the bamboo cane in Lei Kan's hand, which makes the long street even more cold. Lin Jianlan knew that the scale of the beggar rudder in Hangzhou was not small, so he said: "Brother Lei, do you want to take this opportunity to visit the brothers of the rudder in Hangzhou?"

Lei Kan looked solemn and said, "This trip was secretly called by the gang leader in Nian, and no one else in the gang knew about it, so it was inconvenient to go." ”

Lin Jianlan nodded, didn't ask any more, but said in his heart: "It seems that the matter that the Nian Gang Master inquired about didn't mention it to anyone. After thinking about it, he understood that this was his kindness to take care of the overall situation of the Kuangyi Gang, and he was afraid that he would leak the news in advance and cause some changes to the Kuangyi Gang.

In the middle of the line, but vaguely heard a very loud bell in front of him, and Lei Kan in his hand is a little similar, turned his head to look, Lei Kan's face is also a look of Nahan, the two of them restrained the horse, slowly urged the horse to move forward a few steps, and saw a dry of people in the fog, all of them were ragged, holding bamboo canes, and most of the people behind had only one bell on the staff in their hands, and only a dozen people in front of them were hanging four. Five, led by a shuffled, thin old man with unkempt hair, but his expression was very majestic, and there were eight bells hanging from the cane in his hand, but he was the helmsman of the Hangzhou rudder.

Lin Jianlan turned around and smiled: "Brother Lei, although you don't want to visit them, but they heard the information from somewhere and came to greet them, so it's okay, you can catch up with the past." ”

Lei Kan nodded with a smile and said: "I didn't expect that there would be Lao Zhu Protector to come to greet me, Lin Gongzi, this is Zhu Chenghong Zhu Protector who is known as the 'Thin Heavenly King' in the rivers and lakes, I will introduce you later." After saying that, he got off the horse and was about to salute, but he saw Zhu Chenghong slamming the staff in his hand, and the beggar disciples behind him immediately slowly dispersed to both sides, and in a moment they surrounded the two in the middle, and the bamboo cane in his hand hit the ground in unison, making a burst of sound.

At this time, there were already pedestrians on the street, and when they saw this situation, they all did not dare to come forward, so they avoided the detour from afar, and some of the merchants on the street were slightly bolder and only quietly opened a small crack in the door to hide behind and watch.

Seeing these beggar disciples acting like this, Lin Jianlan gradually smiled, his face became more and more solemn, and he looked back at Lei Kan, the same is true, at this time, those disciples with slightly higher status of the fourth bell and the fifth bell have been divided into eight directions, and their expressions are solemn, as if they are facing a great enemy.

Lei Kan's face sank, and he stopped in front of Lin Jianlan and said, "Zhu Protector actually put up a 'snake catching array', what does this mean? Do you know who is next to me?"

Zhu Chenghong slowly walked to the middle of the formation and said, "The old man naturally knows that this is Lin Gongzi of the Kuangyi Gang. After that, he clasped his fists at Lin Jianlan and said in a deep voice: "Please Lin Gongzi come out of the battle!"

Lin Jianlan was puzzled in his heart, and slowly walked out of the formation, just about to ask, but saw Zhu Chenghong's face became excited, his lips trembled, and he said sadly: "This gang captures the traitor Lei Kan, and the idle people are scattered, Lin Gongzi, this is a matter within this gang, please don't interfere!"

Lin Jianlan was shocked, and hurriedly looked at Lei Kan, but saw that Lei Kan was also at a loss, and said angrily: "Zhu Protector, I came here on the intention of the Nian Gang Master, what do you mean by adding the word 'traitor' to me?"

Zhu Chenghong's eyes were slightly red at this time, and he scolded: "Dog traitor!" The word 'traitor' has already left a face, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are a sinner in this gang!"

Lei Kan's eyes widened and said: "Zhu Protector, even if I am only a disciple of the Six Rings, I can't compare to your martial arts and high status, but I can't afford to slander me like you, what happened to explain it, and come up with real evidence! Otherwise, I was ordered to come here to pick up Kuang Yi to help Lin Gongzi go to Chang'an, if you delay the time, can you afford to explain it to the Nian Gang Master?"

Zhu Chenghong held the bamboo cane tightly in one hand, the green tendons in his hand were knotted, the bell at the end of the cane made a faint sound, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Nian Gang Master, Nian Gang Master...... Naturally, I'm going to take you and give him an explanation!" After that, he yelled and "got up" and went up with his staff!

The beggars outside the formation helped the disciples listen to the order, but they were surrounded by three layers inside and outside, and did not attack, but kept going around each other in the opposite direction between the circles, knocking on the ground with their canes, and suddenly there was an extremely noisy bell.

The snake catching array was originally created by the ancestors of the beggar gang, the beggar gang children are with snakes and insects all the year round, there were snake begging people earlier, half of the ten beggar gang disciples are good at catching snakes, so this formation is called snake catching, the development so far, it is a very powerful formation, the disciples surrounded by three circles walk in opposite directions to each other, each other is born and restrain each other, the bamboo sticks are staggered like dogs' teeth, if there is close, then sweep, pick, poke, split, in order to assist the people of the beggar gang in the formation against the enemy. Those four-bell and five-bell disciples in the outermost circle were responsible for suppressing the people in the formation in the air, and it was even more difficult to perform light skills. In addition, the ringing of bells around him disturbed the mind, and the bells of the beggars in the formation were muffled, and instead of making it difficult to identify the direction of the attack, it became more and more confusing. It was reluctant to parry in this formation, let alone break through easily.

Lin Jianlan was anxious and confused at this time, and he didn't know what big mistake Lei Kan had made in the beggar gang, so he led the Dharma Protector to lead the crowd to arrest him personally. Looking at Zhu Chenghong's expression, it didn't seem like he was lying, it was obvious that something great had happened in the beggar gang, but Lei Kan was also stunned, and it was really difficult to tell. He didn't want to interfere in the affairs of the beggar gang, but the message of Nian Yongshou that Lei Kan brought on this trip involved the great changes in the Kuangyi Gang a few years ago, which was really important.

Thinking of this, Lin Jianlan looked up, Lei Kan was just an ordinary six-bell disciple, his martial arts were really tight, he was Zhu Chenghong's opponent, and now he only had the power to parry and dodge everywhere, and said in his heart: "Uncle Qin said when he was leaving, he must not live up to Uncle Qing's trust, but at this time, he stood by his hands and watched Lei Kan being captured by Zhu Protector, and then went to ask him about the place agreed with the Nian Gang Master, could it be the eldest husband's doing?" Then he flew into the formation.
