Chapter 254: Mutual Complaints
Chu Jinglian still lowered his head and was silent. If he was asked to give up this blood feud, he would not agree to it no matter what.
Liu Jingxuan said angrily: "Maybe it was because my brother's heart moved the heavens and let me see you Yinghua again." I think when you and my brother met for the first time outside the gate of Yuhuangtai, the foolish brother felt that you were familiar. It's just that you haven't seen each other for 20 years, and you've grown up. I just don't recognize it. After that, Liu Jingxuan's face was filled with a happy smile.
Chu Jinglian had regained his composure at this moment, he let out a long sigh and glanced at Liu Jingxuan: "Yes, I haven't seen you for nearly twenty years, you have grown beards, how can I still recognize you." ”
Liu Jingxuan saw that Chu Jinglian's hostility had disappeared for the most part, and asked with concern: "Brother Wei has already told me what happened to me for so many years. Yinghua, how have you come over the years?"
Chu Jinglian found a piece of bluestone on the side of the road and sat down, and Liu Jingxuan also sat down beside Chu Jinglian. Zhao Yushan pulled the war horse and gnawed the green around.
Chu Jinglian looked to the east, and a touch of gold sprinkled on Chu Jinglian's face, soft and warm. Chu Jinglian's heart became as soft and warm as the sun. Although his stepfather, master, and subordinates treat him like his own siblings, Liu Jingxuan is connected to his own bloodline, and he is still fundamentally different from others. Only in front of Helian Xuanhua can he show his joys, sorrows, and sorrows without scruples, and express his true heart.
Chu Jinglian sighed and said slowly: "That day, you and I separated, and I hid in the cave. Murong decided to find out that I had dismounted halfway, so he ordered Shangguan Taiye to go into the cave and arrest me. I was terrified, but I found out that there were four other people hiding in the cave. Later, I learned that they were Chen Qiaoxin, Qiu Yintao, Lu Wushuang, Guo Chong and other four people. These four people are descendants of the Shenhuo Sect, and when they saw that I was pitiful, they gave me a helping hand and together seriously injured Shangguan Taiye. That's what saved my life. Lu Wushuang saw that I was pitiful and persuaded Chen Qiaoxin to take me on the road. I followed them all the way west. When I arrived at the border of Xuzhou, a group of strangers quietly took me away. The person at the head is none other than Du Chunping, the leader of the Money Gang. At that time, the news of the government's arrest of the people of the green forest was too tight, and the Du gang leader was afraid that I would be implicated, so he introduced me to Chu Xiaohan, a wealthy man in Yangzhou who went out to do business. That Chu Xiaohan has never had a child under his knees, and when he saw that I looked quite good, he adopted me as an adopted son. He took me back to Yangzhou, and I've put down roots here ever since. Du Chunping also came to Yangzhou and began to teach me martial arts. The remnants of the Heavenly Machine Sword Technique and the Vajra Demon Subduing Dafa were personally taught by the Du Gang Master. Later, Du Chunping passed away, and before he died, he passed on the position of the leader of the Money Gang to me. This Du Chunping was very close to his father before his death, and the gang members of the Money Gang were also righteous people who opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the brothers in the gang did not have much prejudice against me, the new leader. Later, in order to avoid trouble, I changed the money gang from light to dark and changed its name to Qingtian Pavilion. intends to inherit his father's legacy and overthrow the rule of the Manchurian Tatars. Later, I met you. ”
Liu Jingxuan smiled: "As soon as I arrived in Yangzhou City, I heard that the power of Qingtian Pavilion is huge. There are four envoys and thirteen protectors in the cabinet, and each martial arts is strong and outstanding. ”
Chu Jinglian did not deny it, and said lightly: "Since I took over the money gang and created the Qingtian Pavilion, I set up the four envoys of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. Zhao Yushan, the envoy of the piano, is the head of the Jade Phoenix Terrace. She is not an outsider. Her grandfather was Zhao Hongyan, who had sacrificed his life to save his mother and you and me, but unfortunately he still died under the sword of Zhuge Old Thief. Chess envoy Lin Daohong, also known as the chess saint, has always been the brain of Qingtian Pavilion. The book envoy Mei Yunsheng, also known as the book saint, can be regarded as the person of the Qingtian Pavilion. Painting makes Wei Chenggong, also known as painting immortals, and is an old man of the money gang like Mei Yunsheng. As for the other thirteen Dharma protectors, they are the Great Protector Wantong Lay Man Shui Moyun, the Second Protector Caviar Weng Tao Gongzu, the Third Protector Great Compassion Hand Zhiyue Master, the Fourth Protector Shadow Huo Zhen under the Lamp, the Fifth Protector Jin Liang Cui Zhouping, the Sixth Protector Immortal Tan Xingji, the Seventh Protector Craftsman God Hong Mengkui, the Eighth Protector Suo Soul Lian Hongkui, the Ninth Protector Dragon God Tang Yin, the Tenth Protector Old Man Qiao Er Zhou Tonghai, the Eleventh Protector God Operator Meng Yuanlin, the Twelfth Protector Silver Dice Qianxiao Er, and the Thirteenth Protector Ghost Judge Tong Xiaotian. ”
After listening to Chu Jinglian's gushing narration, Liu Jingxuan was a little puzzled: "Yinghua, why do you feel a little strange that these people are ranked as brothers? It seems that the ages are uneven. ”
Chu Jinglian smiled faintly: "The four envoys and thirteen protectors are arranged according to the chronological order of these people joining the money gang. Not based on age. Although Tan Xingji is too old, he is a money gang who entered halfway. Although Zhao Yushan is young, she has been baptized by the gang since she was born. ”
Liu Jingxuan nodded: "That's right, Yinghua." I have a few things I want to ask you, and I wonder if you can tell you the truth?"
Chu Jinglian raised his head and said lightly: "I have told you all the important people in the pavilion, what else can not be said." ”
Liu Jingxuan's face was straight: "Then Guo Bingnan and Guo Yan were killed by you?"
Chu Jinglian nodded: "Not bad." These two were killed by my thirteen Dharma Protector Demons and sentenced Tong Xiaotian. ”
"Why did you take the lives of both of them?"
"That Guo Bingnan robbed the people's daughters and died innocently. As for Guo Yan, I didn't want to kill him. It's just that this man would rather die than hand over the gilded account book, and the ghost judge had to take off his head. ”
Liu Jingxuan nodded: "Then the tears of the sun on Guo Bingnan's body were snatched by the ghost." And who gave it to him?"
Chu Jinglian's eyes flashed, and he said loudly: "Don't you know, the Tears of the Sun was originally purchased by Cui Zhouping, the Five Protector of the Five Protectors, from a merchant named Bai Yati in the Western Regions, for ten thousand taels of silver. I instructed Cui Zhouping to resell it to Guo Bingnan in order to inquire about the whereabouts of the gilded account books. Later, after the ghost sentenced Tong Xiaotian to kill Guo Bingnan, I sent it to Bo Keshan through the hand of the gambler Yuan Hong. Bo Keshan was greedy for money and forgot his righteousness, framed Yuan Hong, and put the crime of killing Guo Bingnan on Yuan Hong's head. ”
Liu Jingxuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "The warning note written in imitation of the handwriting of Bo Keshan's brother Qiu Jun is also your arrangement?"
Chu Jinglian nodded: "That Boke is good at trying to clear his name, and he has both fame and wealth, so he didn't hesitate to kill Yuan Hong." He thought he was doing it seamlessly, but he didn't know that my every move on him was like the palm of his hand. Therefore, I asked the book saint Mei Yunsheng to imitate Qiu Jun's pen style and write a note to warn Bo Keshan. ”
Liu Jingxuan's face sank like water, and said, "Why do you want to set up a situation to frame Bo Keshan?"
Chu Jinglian sneered: "Why do you knowingly ask? Babel Yinxi wanted to install his own people in Jiangsu Dao, so he privately ordered me to set up this plan. I can also tell you that it wasn't my idea to snatch the gilded books. It records the smuggling of important money, grain, and salt taxes in Jiangsu Province. The governor of Liangjiang, Ah Shan, colluded with Bo Keshan, Cheng Qian and others, and the amount of embezzlement of military money and grain, and the amount of salt tax is clearly recorded above. In addition, I have a secret book in my hand, which records the details of the corruption and bribery of officials in Jiangsu Province over the years. I copied a copy of the gilded account book and the secret fold myself, and then gave a copy to Babel Yinxi. ”
