Ye Shuying bought a fast horse in the town, went all the way north, and when he reached the bank of the Yangtze River, he abandoned the horse and boarded the boat and crossed to the north bank of the Yangtze River. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Nanchao is Chaohu Lake, with a radius of 800 miles of water, located in the north of the Yangtze River, like a giant bowl sandwiched between the Yangtze River and the Huai River.

The Nanchao Gang has more than 13,600 people, six halls and 24 rudders, dominating Jiangbei with Chaohu Lake as the center, managing Chaohu Lake water and underwater livelihood, and the general rudder is on Mushan Island in the middle of the lake. Gu Tianhua, the gang leader of the Nanchao Gang, and Cui Zhenyuan, the deputy gang leader, have lived on Mushan Island for a long time and are known as the "Second Elder of Mushan". Gu Tianhua also has a righteous son, He Xiaofeng, nicknamed "Crazy Lan Dao", who is said to be the successor of the next gang leader.

When Ye Shuying arrived at the south shore of Chaohu Lake, it was already completely dark, so he was on the shore of a Sanzhen restaurant by the lake.

The area around Chaohu Lake is rich in products, rich in lake crabs, whitebait, dried shrimp and pearls, and is known as the "four treasures on the water". This restaurant is known as the "Three Treasures", and the signature dishes must be inseparable from lake crab, whitebait, and dried shrimp.

Ye Shuying sat down on a window seat, ordered a few special dishes casually, and then opened the window and looked at the night scene outside the window. I saw the vast smoke and waves in the waters of Chaohu Lake, the colorful boats on the water surface came and went, the lights on the boat were bright, and the reflection in the water reflected each other, a prosperous and lively scene. Although it is in the Jiangbei region, the night scene of this water life is no different from that of the south of the Yangtze River.

Ye Shuying was looking at him in a daze, and suddenly a person walked up to him and said, "Brother Ye, I didn't expect to meet you here, it's really a coincidence." ”

Ye Shuying came back to her senses, only to see that the person who came was dressed in a green shirt, with a dignified appearance, and was more than forty years old, it was Chu Sanjiang, the "Liuyun Swordsman".

Ye Shuying got up and hugged his fists and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Chu, I didn't expect to say goodbye yesterday and meet here today." Since there is fate, if Mr. Chu does not dislike it, please sit down and have a few drinks with me. ”

Chu Sanjiang said: "It's easy to say, Brother Ye invited Chu to drink, how can he excuse himself." Saying that, he sat down opposite Ye Shuying, and said, "I see that Brother Ye has a solemn expression, and he seems to be in a bad mood, is there no whereabouts of Miss Shen yet?"

Ye Shuying also sat down, shook his head and said, "No." Hong'er has been found. ”

Chu Sanjiang said: "Then why didn't she go with Brother Ye?

Ye Shuying said: "Presumably, Mr. Chu doesn't know that Old Man Zheng's family was wiped out last night, and there is no one alive in the Zheng Mansion. ”

Chu Sanjiang's face changed drastically, he was shocked, and said in a trembling voice: "What you said is true?"

Ye Shuying said: "How can I joke with Mr. for such a serious matter? ”

Chu Sanjiang looked sad when he heard this, and lamented: "It's really impermanent, yesterday I joined forces with Old Man Zheng to fight the enemy, how did I expect that heaven and man would be separated overnight." Someone Chu has always respected Old Man Zheng, and the matter of avenging the old man must also be counted as someone Chu. Brother Ye, I don't know who did it?"

Ye Shuying said: "The leader of the Nanchao Gang, 'Second Elder Mushan'." ”

Chu Sanjiang said: "But they rule Chaohu Lake and dominate Jiangbei, why did they suddenly go to Jiangnan to commit crimes? How do you know that the murderer is theirs?"

Ye Shuying said: "The head of the Qiyun Sect was taking care of the Zheng family's funeral, and found the willow leaf dart on the body of the eldest prince Zheng, and the old man Zheng was killed by someone who shattered his internal organs with palm power. ”

Chu Sanjiang said: "With such a palm power, on both sides of the Yangtze River, in addition to Old Man Zheng's 'Kaishan Palm', there is only the 'Absolute Palm' of Gu Tianhua, the leader of the Nanchao Gang, and there are not many people who use willow leaf darts as a secret weapon on the rivers and lakes, and Cui Zhenyuan, the deputy gang leader, is one." In this way, the murderer is really 'Mushan Erlao'. ”

Ye Shuying said: "Mr. Chu, you are also from Huizhou, do you know what blood feud the Zheng family has with the Nanchao Gang?"

Chu Sanjiang said: "This ...... Chu only knew that Old Man Zheng had some holidays with the previous gang leader of the Nanchao Gang, but since Gu Tianhua inherited the position of gang leader twenty-five years ago, the grievances between the two families have been resolved. Chu really couldn't think of what their motive for killing was. ”

Ye Shuying said: "If there is no blood feud, how can they destroy the Zheng family, could it be that they just pretended to reconcile back then?" Mr. Chu, I don't know what the old man Zheng and the previous gang leader of the Nanchao Gang had to do?"

At this time, the shopkeeper had already served dishes one after another, and Ye Shuying said again: "Two more pots of good wine." He was going to go to the "Second Elder of Mushan" to avenge the Zheng family, and he didn't plan to drink, but he didn't expect to meet Chu Sanjiang. Before Tiandu Peak could thank him for helping to retreat from the enemy, Ye Shuying couldn't help but invite him to a few drinks.

The shopkeeper said, "Okay." So he went to fetch wine.

Ye Shuying said to Chu Sanjiang again: "Mr. Chu, please." ”

Chu Sanjiang was also not polite, he lifted the chopsticks and sandwiched a Chaohu drunken crab, but Ye Shuying first sandwiched a piece of whitebait tofu and said: "Strange, I only saw tofu in this dish, but I didn't see whitebait, I don't know why it's called whitebait tofu, could it be that this tofu is made of whitebait?"

Chu Sanjiang said with a smile: "Brother Ye doesn't know, this dish is naturally made of whitebait and tofu, and as for whitebait, it is hidden in tofu." If you don't believe it, take a bite and take a look. ”

Ye Shuying took a bite as she said, and sure enough, she saw a few small silver-white fish hidden in the white and tender tofu, and said: "This tofu doesn't seem to be damaged on the surface, I don't know how they filled the whitebait into the tofu." ”

Chu Sanjiang said with a smile: "This dish is peculiar, it is to cut the tofu into small pieces and put it in the pot to boil together, after the water is hot, the center of the tofu is still cold, the whitebait is not resistant to high heat, it will drill into the tofu by itself, and then the tofu will be taken out and cooked." Although the surface of this tofu is damaged, it is no longer visible after cooking. ”

Ye Shuying nodded and said, "I see, no wonder ......"

Chu Sanjiang ate another piece of braised fish before he continued: "It is said that the leader of the Nanchao Gang Xie Lao was ambitious and wanted to expand the gang's power to the Yangtze River, but the Yangtze River area is the territory of the Flying Dragon Gang, and the Nanchao Gang wants to grab the Flying Dragon Gang's job, and of course the people of the Flying Dragon Gang will not agree." In this way, the two gangs clashed, and there were many casualties. Later, the Flying Dragon Gang was defeated, but he was unwilling to give up the waters north of the Yangtze River to the Nanchao Gang. ”

Ye Shuying said: "What happened later?"

Chu Sanjiang said: "This is justice, in the final analysis, it is still a matter of offending people, it is nothing more than convincing people with reason and subduing people with force." Since this Nanchao Gang is expanding its power by force, it is naturally not feasible to use 'convincing people with reason' on Xie Lao's gang leader. If Mr. Zheng wins, Mr. Xie will give up the waters of the Yangtze River and return to the north of the Yangtze River, and if Mr. Zheng loses, the Flying Dragon Gang will hand over half of the water control of the Yangtze River. The result of this contest is naturally that Old Man Zheng won, otherwise the two families would not have made a feud. ”

Ye Shuying said: "Is that just like that? This is just a conflict of interests, and it is not a great enmity. ”

Ye Shuying poured two glasses of wine that Xiao Er had just sent, sent one of them to Chu Sanjiang, picked up the other cup by herself, and said, "Mr. Chu, Tiandu Peak's kindness has not been thanked yet, a glass of thin wine is a little heartfelt, please." ”

Chu Sanjiang said: "Brother Ye is too polite, Chu said when he received Mr. Lu's great favor that if he encounters a place where the disciples of Huaxi Valley are in need, he will definitely die to repay the grace of rebirth." Brother Ye please. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and drank the wine down. Chu Sanjiang continued: "The battle between Old Man Zheng and Old Gang Leader Xie back then was very dangerous, although Old Man Zheng won, he was also seriously injured. At that time, the son of the old Xie gang leader saw that his father was defeated, and he actually took advantage of the fact that no one had a highly poisonous secret weapon to sneak attack Old Man Zheng, but after the first blow was successful, he was seriously injured by Xie Lingyun, the eldest son of Old Man Zheng. Xie Lao Gang Leader father and son returned to Mushan Island soon after they died of serious injuries, Xie Lao Gang Leader passed the position of Gang Leader to the current Gang Leader Gu Tianhua before he died. As for Old Man Zheng, if he hadn't met Mr. Lu, the owner of Huaxi Valley, I am afraid that he would have died long ago. Well, that's all I know, and I don't know what else is going on. ”

Ye Shuying poured another glass of wine for Chu Sanjiang and said with a smile: "This is already a lot, Mr. Chu, please." ”

Chu Sanjiang said: "Thank you." I raised my glass to drink, but I felt dizzy and weak, and the wine glass fell off the table, and the whole person suddenly fell down.

Ye Shuying was shocked, got up and shook Chu Sanjiang's body, and shouted: "Mr. Chu, Mr. Chu, you ......" Chu Sanjiang was motionless, but the shopkeeper next to him sneered. Ye Shuying found out that someone had drugged the wine, and was about to draw the sword, but she felt weak and dizzy, and she also fell down.

The shopkeeper sneered: "In the territory of the Nanchao Gang, he vainly talked about the taboo of the Nanchao Gang, and wanted to murder the gang leader, which is simply deliberately looking for death." Come on, get these two people to the back and deal with them according to the old rules. ”

Two strong men in short clothes walked over, one went to carry Chu Sanjiang, and the other came to move Ye Shuying. At this time, the shopkeeper saw the Yintai Sword, suddenly his eyes lit up, he picked up the Yintai Sword and pulled out three inches, only to see the silver light dazzling and cold, he was surprised, and praised: "Good sword, good sword!"

The big man who came to carry Ye Shuying grabbed Ye Shuying's belt with his right hand, lifted Ye Shuying, and strode towards the inner hall, who knew that he was rude and didn't pay attention to his back, Ye Shuying's foot somehow hit the elbow of the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper shook the Yintai sword to his neck, and he screamed in fright: "Oh, wood, walk carefully!"

The big man called Wood was also startled by the shopkeeper's exclamation, and quickly turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

The shopkeeper said angrily: "Look at the walk, you almost killed Lao Tzu, don't get this kid away quickly, don't get in the way here." ”

The big man was only inexplicable, and was about to leave, but he heard the shopkeeper exclaim again: "Ah, where is my sword, where is my sword? Who is it? Wood, have you seen it, why is the sword in my hand just gone?"

The wood turned around again and said, "Brother Chong, I didn't see it." ”

The shopkeeper said angrily: "I just took a sword, pulled out three inches, and praised it twice, saying, 'Good sword, good sword.'" 'Didn't you hear?'

Mu scratched his scalp with his left hand and said, "I heard it, but I didn't see the sword you said." ”

The shopkeeper said angrily: "Idiot, it's really a piece of wood, let's go." Strange, strange......"

The two big men walked through the inner hall and towards the back door of the restaurant. The big man named Mu muttered to himself all the way: "Strange, I'm strange, obviously I don't have a sword, and I still say 'good sword', saying that I am a fool, it turns out that you are a fool......"

"Hey, wood, how do you deal with it according to the old rules?"

Wood said, "Slaughter people and throw them into the lake to feed the fish, you are also a fool." It's strange that you're idiots, but you all laugh at me for being a nerd. ”

"Then aren't you afraid that I will turn into a ghost and come back to you to ask for my life?"

Mu Tou said: "Brother Chong said that there are no ghosts in this world, and those who believe in ghosts are nerds, and I am not a nerd, so I don't believe that there are ghosts in this world." ”

Ye Shuying couldn't help laughing, he couldn't bear to do anything for such a nerd, he slammed the scabbard into the wooden wrist, the wooden wrist hurt and the five fingers loosened, Ye Shuying slapped his right hand on the ground and swooped out.
