The cave is not big, but it is enough for three or four people to live, and the entrance of the cave is secret, and it is not easy for people with intentions to notice. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ye Shuying had a good sleep in the cave, and was woken up by the sound of "grunting" in his stomach before it was completely dawn. He got up quietly, without alarming Chu Sanjiang, he left the cave and swept in the direction of Qinghui Xiaoyuan.

As if it was dark today, not as dark as at night, Ye Shuying quickly found Qinghui Xiaoyuan.

Maybe the dawn had come, and Qinghui Xiaoyuan's defense was not as tight as Chu Sanjiang said, Ye Shuying quickly jumped over the high wall and into the small garden.

The layout of this Qinghui garden is very elegant, the inner pavilion corridor is scattered with mountains and stones, the scenery is beautiful, but Ye Shuying has no interest in watching and playing, hiding behind a rockery, only to see a few girls busy outside, as if preparing for breakfast and tea, one of them carrying a plate of snacks from the path next to the rockery.

Ye Shuying was about to take action to restrain this little girl and ask where Cui Zhenyuan was, when she heard a person say in a loud voice: "I don't know what urgency the deputy gang leader summoned us overnight, do you know?"

Ye Shuying didn't move, looking at the person who spoke, I saw that he was more than eight feet tall, wearing a green cloth robe, a wide forehead and bare cheeks, a lion nose, a mouth, a clean face, and an age of about fifty. There was also a small old man beside him, wearing a fat and big blue robe, with gray hair in a small bun, pouting a handful of goat's whiskers, and his eyes were blazing, and he seemed to be close to a sixtieth year.

At this time, the old man in the blue robe said: "I also came immediately after receiving the command of the chief helm, I heard that the chief helm has summoned all the hall masters of the six major branches, but I am afraid that there will be a change in the matter of helping the master to pass on the throne." Hall Master Liu, we don't have to speculate, we'll know when we see the deputy gang leader in a while. ”

The hall master in the green cloth robe nodded and said no more, and the two hurriedly walked towards a flower hall.

Ye Shuying was not busy following along, and when they all entered the flower hall and no one was moving outside, she took the opportunity to sweep over, hanging under the eaves, dipping her little finger in saliva, and lit a small hole in the window paper.

There were four people sitting in the flower hall, and it was Cui Zhenyuan who was sitting on the main seat, and the other three were in addition to the two people Ye Shuying saw just now, and there was a tall and thin middle-aged man with a horse face, high cheekbones, and a collapsed nose and broom eyebrows.

It turned out that these three people were all one of the hall masters of the six branches of the Nanchao Gang. The forces of the Nanchao Gang were secretly divided into two, and even the six hall masters were three who supported Cui Zhenyuan and three who supported He Xiaofeng.

I only heard Cui Zhenyuan say: "The three hall masters have arrived, and I will say it directly: the eldest brother was assassinated last night." ”

The three of them were shocked when they heard this, and the hall master in the green cloth robe said excitedly: "What? The gang leader died last night? No wonder I went to the island to visit the gang leader, but I was pushed back and couldn't get my wish." Who was on duty at the gang leader's residence last night, and did he send more people? The assassin couldn't assassinate once, but he could assassinate twice, I really don't know what was going on with the people in the helm?" he looked very rude, and he spoke a little unabashedly.

The blue-robed old man also said: "Yes, I asked several people what happened to the helm, why did they all say that they didn't know?

Before the tall and thin horse-faced middle-aged man had time to speak, Cui Zhenyuan said: "After discussing with He Xiaofeng and the two elders, I decided to temporarily block the news and keep it a secret. So the people in the helm basically don't know about it, and even if they do, they don't dare to say it. ”

The blue-robed old man said, "Why is this?"

Cui Zhenyuan said: "It's just because the assassin hasn't been caught yet, and he must still be on this island now." If we spread the news of the death of our eldest brother now, people from all kinds of gangs will come to mourn, and if the assassin is mixed up and we will not be able to prevent it, or if he takes advantage of the chaos to escape, we will not be able to find out and avenge our eldest brother. There is also the fact that now everyone in the rivers and lakes thinks that it is me and my eldest brother who destroyed the Zheng family, and Zheng Laijian has made a lot of friends in his life, and I am worried that they will also come to make trouble in the name of condolences. ”

The hall master of the green cloth robe Liu said: "Don't say that the people on the rivers and lakes think so, even Lao Liu, I also think that this matter was done by the two gang leaders......

The blue-robed old man's face was slightly gloomy, and he said, "Hall Master Liu, what are you talking about?"

Hall Master Liu said: "Am I wrong? Zheng Laijian killed the old gang leader Xie, what's wrong with the two gang leaders avenging the old gang leader Xie? Although 25 years have passed, the two gang leaders have finally not forgotten the old hatred and hated the old gang leader Xie Lao. And if some neutral people in the gang knew about it, they would also stand on our side to support the deputy gang leader. ”

The tall and thin horse-faced man glanced at Hall Master Liu with squinted eyes, and said in a strange manner: "Hall Master Liu must also know that the Zheng family was wiped out, so Hall Master Liu should be careful when he speaks." ”

Hall Master Liu snorted, and then said to Cui Zhenyuan: "Old Liu, I am a rough person, not as thoughtful as Hall Master Hu and Hall Master Huo, I was reckless just now, and I hope that the deputy gang leader Hai Han." ”

Ye Shuying said in her heart: "Looking at the killing of the Zheng family in this situation, Cui Zhenyuan is neither easy to admit nor deny. ”

Cui Zhenyuan waved his hand, indicating that he did not blame. The blue-robed old man said, "According to the deputy gang leader, who will assassinate the gang leader?"

Cui Zhenyuan said: "I'm afraid that this matter is still related to the death of the Zheng family in Liuhe Town, and he may have come to avenge the Zheng family." ”

The blue-robed old man said, "But didn't the assassin already attack the gang leader when the Zheng family was killed? How could it be that he came to avenge the Zheng family? Could it be that the chief helm had a traitor?"

When Ye Shuying heard this, she said in her heart: "Now that Gu Tianhua is dead, I can't change my words about the fake assassination, I want to see how Cui Zhenyuan explains this matter." ”

Cui Zhenyuan said: "This assassin is very skilled, and his swordsmanship is superb, and he will never find such a person in the helm." And it shouldn't have been the same person who stabbed twice. ”

Such an understatement also makes sense.

Hall Master Liu said: "So there are already two assassins hidden on the island, what is the matter? This Mushan Island is not big, even if it turns the bottom upside down, it is not difficult to find two assassins, and I am afraid that I will not be able to find the two assassins?" He was excited and wanted to get up, as if he was about to search for the assassin.

The blue-robed old man said: "Don't be excited, don't be excited, let's listen to the deputy gang leader, what is the purpose of the chief helmsman summoning our six branch hall masters back this time? Is it to arrest the assassin to avenge the gang leader, or is it to elect a new gang leader?"

The three of them looked at Cui Zhenyuan together, and Cui Zhenyuan said: "I have discussed with He Xiaofeng and the two elders, and today we will discuss these two things in the main hall, and the two elders want to hear the opinions of your six hall masters, so they will call you back." What I mean by this is that whoever catches the assassin first and avenges the eldest brother will inherit the position of gang leader. In this way, it can avoid civil strife in the gang, and prevent people with bad intentions from making trouble. ”

The three of them nodded in unison and said, "Understood." ”

When Ye Shuying heard this, she secretly screamed badly. Unexpectedly, he came to avenge the Zheng family, and after killing Gu Tianhua by mistake, he became the target of public criticism. Fortunately, no one knows that the assassin is him, and as long as he is not caught, he is still safe.

Cui Zhenyuan said again: "If He Xiaofeng really catches the murderer one step ahead of me to avenge my eldest brother, I am willing to give him the position of helper." ”

After Ye Shuying heard this, seeing that the sky was about to brighten, he quietly jumped off the eaves and slipped away. When I passed by the kitchen, I didn't forget to drink some water, and then took a few buns while people were unprepared.

Ye Shuying returned to the cave, Chu Sanjiang had already woken up, and when he saw Ye Shuying coming back in a hurry, he hurriedly asked, "Brother Ye, where have you been?" I thought something had happened to you. ”

Ye Shuying took out a few buns and said, "My stomach is empty, so naturally I went out to find something to eat." As he spoke, he sat down, picked up a bun and ate it.

Chu Sanjiang was also not polite, and said while eating: "How is the situation outside now?

Ye Shuying sighed and said, "Now the two of us have become the murderers who killed Gu Tianhua, and whoever is caught will have to die." ”

Chu Sanjiang said: "There is only one person who can kill Gu Tianhua. ”

Ye Shuying said: "Brother Chu, you really shouldn't have taken risks with me, now they believe that there are two assassins on the island, one is the one who hid after the previous assassination was unsuccessful, and the other is the one who killed Gu Tianhua later, that is, me." Cui Zhenyuan and He Xiaofeng may agree that whoever catches the murderer and avenges Gu Tianhua will inherit the position of gang leader, but they don't know who the murderer is, so they ......"

Chu Sanjiang said: "So no matter who is caught first between the two of us, who will be said to be the murderer of Gu Tianhua, right?"

Ye Shuying nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

Whoever is caught first will surely die, but the other person will be relatively safe.

Ye Shuying didn't say this.

Chu Sanjiang continued: "I didn't expect things to develop to this point, and now not only have I failed to avenge the Zheng family, but even I am in danger. There seems to be only one way. ”

Ye Shuying asked, "What way?"

Chu Sanjiang said: "That is to find out the truth about Gu Tianhua's poisoning, only in this way can we find the real culprit behind the scenes, and we will have a way to live." We can't keep hiding here, it's hidden, but sooner or later someone will find out. ”

Ye Shuying said: "But I don't know where to start now." ”

Chu Sanjiang said: "Qingmei." ”

Ye Shuying frowned, and said, "Do you want to go to her?" ”

Chu Sanjiang smiled: "Is she difficult to entangle?"

It turned out that although Ye Shuying had talked about his experience on the island before, when he talked about going to find Qingmei, he only understated it and did not mention the details, so Chu Sanjiang didn't know the tricks that Qingmei played on Ye Shuying.

Ye Shuying said: "It's a little difficult, but I can't think of any other way than to find her." ”

She is Gu Tianhua's pillow person, and she must know the inside story of the Nanchao Gang, as well as Gu Tianhua's daily life, diet, and private affairs, if she is willing to reveal the truth, the whole thing will become simpler.
