Chapter 3 Gathering the Phoenix
Jiang was full of pride in his chest, but his son Jiang Haipeng's heart was extremely depressed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Something is still going on in the rivers and lakes. Moreover, it is a big deal.
What Jiang Haipeng doesn't want is something big happening in the rivers and lakes. Because, he is also a Jianghu person. The last thing he wants is to see something big happening in the rivers and lakes. Today's Fengmingzhuang does not need any major events, let alone be involved in any major events. The stable rivers and lakes are the most beneficial rivers and lakes for Fengmingzhuang.
But as early as more than ten days ago, he already knew that Feng Mingzhuang might not be able to avoid this big event. He is the owner of Fengming Village. His news is no less than that of those of the Six Doors.
Six bloody cases like that, six flying knives like that, how could there be no major events in the rivers and lakes?
However, at that time, Jiang Haipeng still had luck in his heart. Whoever wants to find the trouble of those who are outside the world, let them find it themselves. Fengmingzhuang didn't go to join in the fun.
Therefore, as soon as he heard the news, he immediately secretly ordered that all the people in Fengming Village who had two hits in their hands must be low-key, low-key, and low-key during this time.
However, at the same time, he did not forget to send people around to find out the news. Just because you don't join in the fun doesn't mean you have to be kept in the dark. A fool would be like an ostrich, sticking his head in the mound of dirt and pretending not to see or hear anything.
The purpose of sending people to inquire about the news was to respond in a timely manner. Be more low-key in a timely manner.
However, when the spies came to report that there were suspected legends like Fu Hongxue and Lu Xiaojia in the northwest, he began to feel that something was wrong.
At that time, he was still lucky. He kept praying, praying that the two plague gods would leave the northwest as soon as possible and go to the hinterland of the Central Plains.
Now, he knows that Fengmingzhuang really can't avoid this storm. Strong winds and waves.
There were many high-rollers from the village who came to visit him. These people are here to join in the fun. These people all know that this large area is the territory of Fengmingzhuang and the territory of his Jiang family.
These men came to visit him for two purposes. First, they wanted to see what Fengmingzhuang was doing. Second, they wanted to tell him that no matter if Feng Mingzhuang would make any moves, they would make moves on his territory.
Most of these people are known, or at least heard, by Jiang Haipeng. The remaining small part is something that Jiang Haipeng doesn't know and hasn't even heard of.
To everyone, Jiang Haipeng treats everyone with courtesy. He warmly received everyone. Those who are willing to stay for a meal, he gives them good food. Those who are willing to stay for a glass of wine, he gives them a good drink. If they are willing to stay for a few days, he will give them a good place to stay. Neither willing to stay for dinner, nor to stay for a drink, nor willing to stay for a few days, he politely greeted and sent him.
Friends all over the world.
Other than that, he didn't give them any words. He just told them that Fengmingzhuang was hospitable, and he Jiang Haipeng was even more hospitable. Friends in the rivers and lakes, if they can afford him Jiang Haipeng, they are willing to go to his ground to do something, as long as they don't break the law, as long as they don't embarrass him, as long as they don't hurt him Feng Mingzhuang, listen to him.
On the surface, he was snorting with every high-roller who came to visit him, but when he sent them away, what he looked at was no longer a high-spirited Jianghu person. He looked at it as if it were a cold corpse. He knew that many of these people would never go again.
He even secretly instructed Wang Laoshi to go to the county seat and order many coffins. He knew that these coffins would soon come in handy. Not many people who died in the rivers and lakes would collect their bodies for them. But since this is the ground of Fengmingzhuang, the people who died here can only be collected by him, the proprietor. The right should accumulate yin virtue.
At this moment, he knew that some of the coffins he asked Wang Laoshi to order were going to be used on Fengmingzhuang's own people.
Because, in front of him, there are now five people seated. As soon as these five people came, Feng Mingzhuang could only get involved.
Of these five people, three were on public meals.
One is a six-door one. Iron Harrier of the Northwest Six Doors Administration. What his real name is, not many people in this part of the northwest know. Jiang Haipeng didn't know either.
Everyone only knows that this person's surname is Tie, and he is more powerful than a harrier. His eyes were clearer than a harrier's could see. His body is faster than a harrier flying. His hands were sharper than the claws of a harrier.
The other is a master. A master beside the feudal official in the northwest. Master Zou. What his name is, Jiang Haipeng doesn't know. Jiang Haipeng only met him twice.
But Jiang Haipeng knew that this Master Zou was the master who was extremely trusted by the feudal officials. Because, although there are many masters around the feudal official, when Jiang Haipeng handed him a thick silver ticket, the only master who appeared twice on the scene was this Master Zou.
There is also a public meal, a general. A general under the command of the Great General in the Northwest. This general, Jiang Haipeng knows his name. Anyone with some insight in the northwest has heard of his name. His name is Tu Qianxiong. He had a better name, the butcher. Because, in this part of the northwest, he doesn't know how many people he slaughtered.
The other two are from the rivers and lakes.
One of them is Yan Zhengyi, the leader of the Wulin League of the five northwestern provinces. He came with the Iron Harrier. Iron Harrier made it very clear. Yan Zhengyi came this time to assist Six Doors in handling the case.
The other one is the owner of the abandoned sword building, Ling Fengyan. Jiang Haipeng is not familiar with this person. He only knew that the place where the Abandoned Sword Tower was located was in Qinchuan, which was still hundreds of miles away from here. He came with Master Zou. The purpose of his coming here, like Yan Zhengyi, is also to assist Six Doors in handling the case.
Among these five people, except for Mr. Zou, who did not bring any entourage, the others did not come alone.
Accompanying the Iron Harrier were the three masters of the six gates in the northwest. Along with the butcher came three masters of the army. Along with Yan Zhengyi came a mighty man and a woman wearing a veil. Along with Ling Fengyan were two old men.
The purpose of their group is to solve cases. Handled the case of Fu Hongxue and Lu Xiaojia. However, Iron Harrier also said that they did not come here this time to arrest Fu Hongxue and Lu Xiaojia. After all, when those bloody cases happened on the rivers and lakes, no one found out that Fu Hongxue and Lu Xiaojia had appeared at the scene. Recently, Fu Hongxue and Lu Xiaojia appeared in the northwest, which further proves that those bloody cases have nothing to do with the two of them.
The group of them came this time, firstly, they wanted to ask Fu Hongxue and Lu Xiaojia to return to the yamen to assist in the investigation, and secondly, as soon as those rumors on the rivers and lakes came out, they hoped to protect Fu Hongxue and Lu Xiaojia and prevent more killings.
If they wanted to ask Fu Hongxue and Lu Xiaojia to go to the yamen to assist in the investigation, Jiang Haipeng believed three points. If they wanted to protect Fu Hongxue and Lu Xiaojia, Jiang Haipeng didn't even believe half a point.
What are you kidding! These two plague gods are people who need to be protected by others?
Jiang Haipeng's first three points are just believing that Iron Harrier, Mr. Zou and the butcher are indeed here for this. After all, the Son of Heaven has already decreed. Where their responsibilities are, if Fu Hongxue and Lu Xiaojia are allowed to swagger on the northwest ground and ignore them, they will not be able to explain it.
As for Yan Zhengyi and Ling Fengyan's trip to assist in the case, Jiang Haipeng's three points were discounted.
Speaking of which, they are not all in the name of assisting the imperial court in handling cases, taking the opportunity to probe those rumored things, and by the way, touching the bottom of his Fengmingzhuang. If it were in normal times, where could these two people sit in his Jiang Haipeng's Fengming Village like they are now?
The butcher took the lead in speaking: "Master Jiang, since Fu Hongxue and Lu Xiaojia have appeared in Luosha Town this time, please ask Master Jiang Zhuang to help." ”
Jiang Haipeng smiled: "That's nature. Since the general has been sent, how dare Jiang disobey?"
Mr. Zou said with a smile: "Master Jiang, this time there is a decree in the saint to invite the heroes of the world to work with the imperial court to find out the truth of the matter and restore peace to the rivers and lakes." The owner of Jiang Zhuang dominates the party, please make it convenient. ”
Jiang Haipeng hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Where, where!" Mr. Zou said seriously. Jiang, as a saint's citizen, should serve the imperial court!"
The Iron Harrier said: "Master Jiang, before the truth of the matter is found out, we may need to bother in your village for some time. This place is still far from the General Administration of Six Doors. If you invite Fu Hongxue and Lu Xiaojia, you still have to borrow your village for a few days. ”
Jiang Haipeng smiled and said: "Lord Tie has a place to get Jiang and Zhuang Mou, although he is instructed." It is Jiang's duty to assist Six Doors in handling the case. ”
Yan Zhengyi smiled: "I wonder if Master Jiang plans to go with us this time to meet Fu Hongxue and Lu Xiaojia for a while?"
Jiang Haipeng hurriedly said: "The Lord of the Yan Alliance and all the adults are all great masters. Jiang's two-handed and three-legged cat kung fu, don't be ugly. ”
Ling Fengyan said with a smile: "If Master Jiang Zhuang's whipping method is the kung fu of the three-legged cat, in addition to the few adults and the Lord of the Yan League here in the Northwest Land, how many people dare to call them masters?"
The butcher laughed and said: "Master Jiang, Tu has always heard that the Jiang family's whipping method was created by Taigong, and even immortals can beat it." It's all for the imperial court. Don't be humble. ”
Jiang Haipeng arched his hand and smiled: "Since the general said so, Jiang should accompany all the adults and the Lord of the Yan League and the Lord of the Ling Building." ”
Yan Zhengyi smiled again: "Master Jiang, Yan has long heard that the second son of the Jiang family has extremely good sword skills. Fu Hongxue and Lu Xiaojia are both people who use knives. Why didn't the owner of Jiang Zhuang take the opportunity to let the second son go with them for a while?"
Jiang Haipeng smiled and said, "Where can you get on the table with all the effort of the dog?"
The iron harrier said: "Master Jiang, this time, we are not going to fight with that Fu Hongxue and Lu Xiaojia. Tie also heard that the second son's knife skills are very good. It's not a bad thing for young people to go out and break through. Besides, this time it was at the door of the Jiang Zhuang's house. With us people, nothing can happen. ”
Jiang Haipeng said with a smile: "Since Lord Tie also said so, Jiang Mou will let the dog go with him to see the demeanor of the adults, the Lord of the Yan League, and the Lord of the Ling Building." ”
Yan Zhengyi smiled: "Three adults, when are we leaving?"
The Iron Harrier smiled: "No hurry. I have sent someone to invite Fu Hongxue and Lu Xiaojia. If the two of them are willing to come here, we will wait here. ”
When the rest of the people heard this, they all smiled and said nothing.
