Chapter 65: The Killer (Part II)
I saw a big man with a smile on his face, walked to the front of the hall in three steps and two steps, bowed slightly and hugged his fists: "Hello Master Li, good Master Liu, hello everyone." "This 'Leopard Weitang' was originally a big gang of more than 300 people, one of the three gangs in the capital, and 'Qifenglou' has always been at odds with each other, 'Qifenglou' wants to occupy the gambling house of 'Leopard Weitang', and 'Leopard Weitang' wants to occupy the brothel of 'Qifenglou', but the two families are a little jealous of each other, and then Wei Ciyun is clever, relying on the 'Jinyi Wei' and 'Neidu Mansion' to support and buy the two deputy hall masters of the 'Leopard Weitang' and a large number of gangs, and finally even the gambling house is occupied, and now the only person that the leopard master can gather is the person in front of him.
As the saying goes, 'the cat is more male than the tiger, and the feathered phoenix is not as good as the chicken', the leopard master was once majestic, although the reputation was not good, but he was also the number one famous figure in the martial arts in the capital, but now he had to put down his body and stammer others when he mixed into such a field. Hearing the greeting of the leopard master, Master Li and Master Liu only faintly 'um', and everyone nodded and smiled slightly, only the patriarch stood up and hugged his fists and said: "It turned out that the leopard master arrived, and he lost welcome." ”
The leopard master didn't recognize the patriarch, and couldn't help but be stunned, and the guard beside him hurriedly stepped forward and whispered in his ear: "This is Si Kou Yuanyan's senior, and the people in the rivers and lakes call it 'Tianque Golden Attic Upstairs', which means that his old man's martial arts can also be called the peak among first-class masters." ”
The leopard master was shocked, his expression suddenly panicked, and he hurriedly replied: "It turned out to be the old Si Kou, and the younger generation was flattered and flattered. ”
The patriarch smiled, said a few words of greeting, and asked the leopard master to sit down, and the four major gods bowed to everyone and hugged their fists, without speaking, and silently walked behind the leopard master.
The patriarch said to Duanmu: "Does Mr. Duanmu recognize him?"
Duanmu said: "I recognize, this Leopard Master used to be the leader of one of the three major gangs in the capital, the owner of the world's largest gambling house, and in the martial arts of the capital, he is as famous as the Wei gang leader and Mr. Ouyang, which is much bigger than the name of the tyrant." ”
The patriarch continued to spread the voice: "Mr. Duanmu, please take a look at the overlord, look at the status of the Wei gang leader, and then look at this former leopard master, but do you still have half of the temperament and strategy of the gang master?"
Duanmu said: "The situation is stronger than people, with his current martial arts and manpower, it is still windy and rainy to change places, but it is a pity that he can't see the situation, and it is very difficult to restore the old scenery in the capital." ”
In the hall, the two masters of Li and Liu did not show their joy and anger, but only asked the leopard master some gossip lightly, and the leopard master sat on the chair with his body owed, and every time the two masters asked, he immediately got up and answered, respectfully.
The patriarch looked at the appearance of the leopard master, smiled slightly, and said: "Once able to single-handedly develop the 'leopard hall' to Si, the leopard master is by no means an ignorant and reckless man, now he has not only lost his power, but also is at a loss, and he doesn't even have the mood to judge the basic situation. I don't know what kind of means the Wei gang leader has used, and how many benefits he has promised to make the leopard master let go of his old hatred. ”
Duanmu frowned slightly, his lips did not move, and he said, "If the patriarch has something to say, please speak directly." ”
The patriarch said: "It is not easy for a woman who can play with the leopard master in the palm of her hand, and her requests are not something you and I can satisfy." Mr. Duanmu, the old man sells an old man, and he can be regarded as your predecessor, with your qualifications, you can be called one of the best among the juniors, and if time comes, it may not be able to exceed the 'invisible sword', and the old man really doesn't want to see the fall of a talent like Mr. among the juniors. ”
Duanmu said: "Elder, I know this, but ......"
The patriarch said: "The leader of the Wei Gang is even moved by me, who is about to enter the earth, let alone you? It is normal for young people to be unable to hold on, but you must know that this woman is very dangerous, very dangerous, and you can hide as much as you can." ”
Duanmu said: "Thank you for your care. ”
In the gossip of everyone, the two thousand households of the 'Golden Guard' Zhang Wang appeared with 400 people, and almost at the same time, Shi Qianhu of the 'Inner Capital Mansion' also arrived with 400 people, followed by the head of the 'Hug Fighting Crane Faction' Mu Huangcheng with six disciples, and forty disciples and grandsons also arrived, and the two brothers of the 'Yeyun Faction' Yeyun and Ye Zhan came with twenty-four people, and finally the 'Evil Sea Fierce God' of the 'Evil Sea Forest' and the 'Evil Sea Poisonous Ghost' also arrived with fifteen of their subordinates. After a while, Zhou Hong turned around, the heads of various factions, and the leaders of all places entered the hall and sat down, and the rest of the people were all in the courtyard.
Everything was in order, and everyone looked at each other, wondering who the opponent was, and that so many people needed to be dispatched to deal with it.
The Evil Sea Fierce God first asked: "Master Li, Sikou Pavilion Master, can you give you a thorough understanding, who is the Governor asking us to dispatch so many masters to deal with?"
Master Li said: "There have been frequent murders in the capital in recent months, do you know?"
Muhuangcheng said: "I have heard of it. ”
Master Li said: "This matter is heard by the heavens, the emperor is furious, and ordered a strict investigation, some ministers in the court and the central government in order to compete for merit will make random suggestions, the spearhead is directly aimed at the Beijing Gang, and there are more ministers who ask for the use of firearms to exterminate the three gangs and eight factions, the governor of the government is in your abidence of your duty, and will definitely not act so recklessly, is to press this matter again and again, and secretly ordered the brothers of the 'government guard' to investigate this matter thoroughly, recently someone assassinated the governor, was ' Fu Wei's brother caught the torture and finally had an eyebrow, it turned out that someone had the wrong intention of bribing the high-rollers, but whether there were any of these high-rollers in the rivers and lakes The people are really unsubstantiated, and you need to prove your innocence. ”
A few days ago, everyone had heard about the assassination of Wu Jingguo, and they all nodded suddenly, and Mu Huangcheng said: "I see." These are the people we're dealing with this time?"
Master Li said: "Exactly, there are not many of these people, only thirty or forty people, but since they dare to assassinate the governor, they must have some ability." Of course, there are only dozens of people, the 'government guards' can be wiped out with a snap of their fingers, and the heads of the families are willing to contribute, and the unwillingness to contribute their own 'government guards' will take action on your behalf, you can rest assured, the governor will still say good things for you in the court, but there is no basis for empty words, if the emperor does not believe it and agrees with the ministers, there is no way to really dispatch the firearms battalion and the governor. ”
Mu Huangcheng said: "We have also gained a lot of benefits from following the governor before, and the grace of the governor's protection this time has made us even more ashamed, how can we have a reason to do our own things?"
Ye Yun said: "Since you are here, you will not retreat, please tell Master Li how to arrange it." ”
Master Li said: "Okay, everyone is of the same heart, even if a strong enemy can be destroyed with a wave of his hand." The purpose of this time is twofold: first, to take down the rebels, so that no one can escape, and to make meritorious contributions to the community; second, you will go all out to prove your innocence, and the governor will have a good reason and a good word for your gang. ”
The poisonous ghost said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”
Master Li said: "This matter is all voluntary, and if you don't want to participate, please leave your seat." Master Li glanced at everyone after saying that, and everyone sat firmly on their chairs, and no one left their seats.
Master Li nodded, and said: "Since you have no objections, then it will be arranged below, and if there is any repentance in the middle, it will be punished as a conspiracy." ”
Everyone said, "Please show me." ”
Master Li said: "Okay, this operation will be led by the head of the Mu Huang City, are you not convinced?"
Master Li paused, saw that everyone was silent, and said: "Since there is no dissatisfaction, then it is decided, if there is a person who is dissatisfied with the head of the house, the rebel will be punished with the same party." ”
The heads couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, they hadn't worked together for many days, and they couldn't imagine that Master Li's methods were a little stronger, so they didn't dare to say more, and seriously obeyed Master Li's orders. Master Li ordered someone to take the map outside the city, by Yu Qibai, Shen Nanwu to all the heads of the people one by one to point out the terrain, houses, which houses are empty can be ambushed, which houses live in people, etc., especially for the wood desert city repeatedly checked until the wood desert city is familiar with the heart before stopping, this arrangement is quite time-consuming, seeing that the sun is in the west, at the moment Master Li ordered everyone to set off, rush to the ambush in advance, if you meet people along the way, see one to catch one, do not disclose your whereabouts, as for the specific time to do it will be subject to the order. Master Li also said that he had arranged for the people of the 'Mansion Guard' to assist everyone in eradicating the rebel party, and when the martial arts people were grateful to Dai Dekou and did not dare to disobey, he simply threw this originally irrelevant matter to these sects.
So the heads of the four major gangs led by Muhuang City, a total of 127 disciples, marched out of the city, and the people of the 'palace guards' had already checked it along the way, and confirmed that there were no people from the 'Honor Palace', and there were no suspicious people before continuing to move forward.
When the martial arts people walked away, Master Li commanded again: "Shi Qianhu of 'Neidu Mansion', Zhang Qianhu of 'Jinyiwei'......" Shi Zhang and two Qianhu immediately stood up and said: "Here." ”
"Each of you will lead a hundred people to help, and no matter who wins or loses between the 'King of Honor' and the people of the Eight Factions, they will all be killed on the spot. ”
"Yes. ”
"Wang Qianhu, you personally take two hundred people to detain all the remaining disciples of the 'Evil Sea Forest', and one of them will return to his life. ”
"Yes. ”
"Zi, Chou, Mao, Chen, and the four catchers......" The four of them stepped forward one after another when they heard the call, and Master Li continued to order: "Send 200 people to you, and each of you will bring 20 people with a bow net to seal the four gates of the 'Hug Fighting and Capturing Crane Faction' in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and the rest of the people will go in and take people, and one person will escape, and the four will be guilty of the same crime." ”
The four catchers said in unison: "Yes." ”
Everyone was ordered to withdraw, and Shennan Wu said: "Mr. Li, do your subordinates want to bring people to assist Shi Qianhu and Zhang Qianhu in exterminating the traitors?"
"No, just clean up the mess, two hundred elite soldiers with him are enough. These days, you two are doing your best, and the governor and I are both in the eyes, and I will ask the governor for the two of you after this matter, and I want everyone to know that doing things honestly will have unexpected benefits. As for some people who want to stay out of the matter, then don't be this thousand households, I can hold him up, and naturally I can step on him. Master Li said.
Shen Yu and the two bowed together and said: "Thank you Mr. for your cultivation, the two of us will be honest and grateful for the picture." ”
Master Li smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay, it's really hard for you to run around day and night these days, don't go to the two of you for this operation, go to Master Qian to get a reward of one hundred taels of silver later, and go happily." ”
Shen Yu and the others bowed down again and turned away.
"Maybe some people are not willing to accept the position of a thousand households and want to take the opportunity to make a difference, but unfortunately, do you have that fate?" Master Li said to himself.
