Ba Jinlun followed the Zhuqing Gang and his party to a compound located in the east of Dengzhou City. Although the ambush laid by the Zhuqing Gang in the restaurant did not work completely, it finally forced back the invincible Divine Fist Gate for a while, and also captured Xing Wusheng, who was in rebellion, so the Zhuqing Gang also felt that there was light on their faces, and they were majestic and high-spirited all the way.

The compound where the Zhuqing Gang is located does not look like the station of a Jianghu gang, but like the gate of the mansion of a rich and noble family, with a plaque hanging magnificently at the door, with a few big characters "Situ Mansion" written on it.

Seeing the return of the gang leader, the gang on duty in front of the door hurriedly opened the main gate and reported inside, but Situ He respectfully invited Ba Jinlun to enter the mansion first, and he led the gang to follow.

Ba Jin Lunqian gave in, but after all, he couldn't survive Situ He, so he had to take the first step and step into the mansion. Before he could see the scenery of the mansion clearly, he saw a young girl hurrying up to meet him.

"Daddy, you're back...... Ah, you're hurt. Seeing Situ He return home, she was happy at first, and then saw Situ He's shoulder injury, and instantly turned into dark clouds, and pear blossoms pounced on the rain.

Situ He grabbed the girl, "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, Qian'er, thanks to this woman's help, my father and your brother were able to get out of the way." ”

This girl is Situ Qian, the daughter of Situ He, she saw that her father was calm, and the wound on her shoulder had been bandaged, and she knew that it was okay, so she blushed and gave Ba Jinlun a blessing.

"Qian'er thanked her sister for saving her life on behalf of her father and brother," she burst into tears and laughed, and said, "Look at my sister's dress, could it be a fairy from the Emei faction?"

Ba Jinlun was about to answer, but Situ He interjected, "This woman is a distinguished guest of my gang, how can she stand at the gate and ask about the origin of others, why don't you invite the woman into the hall and take a seat." ”

Situ Qian grinned, grabbed Ba Jinlun's arm, and led him into the hall. Situ He arranged for the people to be deployed in the courtyard, and asked his subordinates to prepare wine and food, and then took Situ Ping into the hall.

After entering the house, Situ He invited Ba Jinlun to sit in the first seat, and he sat on the opposite table, so that his children and the two hall masters in the gang sat down, and then he asked Ba Jinlun's teacher about the origin, and Ba Jinlun said that he was Zhang Menglin, a disciple of Xuanchen Shitai of the Emei faction, according to what Baili Xianxian taught.

Situ He stroked his palms and smiled: "It turned out to be the nephew of Master Lichen, the Emei faction is worthy of being one of the five major schools in the Central Plains, Miss Zhang is young, and she has such attainments in martial arts, she is really a famous teacher and a high apprentice." ”

Ba Jinlun was reluctant to talk more about his forged identity, and instead asked the reason for Xing Wu's rebellion. Situ He snorted and said, "I'm ashamed to say it, Xing Wuming was originally the hall master of my Zhuqing Gang Torture Hall, and this gang has three halls from the gang leader down, with an inner hall, an outer hall and a torture hall, and among the three hall masters, Xing Wuming's martial arts are the highest. ”

Situ He stroked his gray beard, and then said: "The grievances between this gang and the Shenquanmen are a long story, in this Dengzhou City, my Zhuqing Gang and the Shenquanmen were originally the two largest gangs in the local area, and they have been safe and sound for more than ten years. A while ago, the Divine Fist Sect also recruited several good players from nowhere, and their strength increased greatly, so they began to fight the idea of this gang. One day, they took advantage of the absence of the old man and Xing Wusheng at the main altar to suddenly carry out a sneak attack, not only injuring the dogs, but also taking away the treasured green bamboo clothes of the gang. ”

After Xing Wuming came back, the old man wanted to find an opportunity to capture a few of them so that he could change back into green bamboo clothes, so he quietly set up an ambush outside Li Fusheng's restaurant. Who knew that Xing Wuming was secretly bought by Shenquanmen at some point, if it weren't for Miss Zhang's righteous rescue, the old man, father and son, together with the dozen or so brothers present at the time, were afraid that they would all be poisoned by Shenquanmen. ”

Ba Jinlun only wanted to find out the origin of Xing Wusheng's martial arts, so he said: "Then the Situ Gang Leader must be interrogated carefully to see if he still has a party lurking in the Zhuqing Gang." ”

Situ He hurriedly said yes, and suddenly felt that someone next to him was pulling the corner of his clothes, and when he turned his head, Situ looked at him with blank eyes, his eyes showing a look of expectation.

How Situ He didn't know what his son was doing, this girl Zhang was born in a famous and decent family, not only strong in martial arts, but also chivalrous, looking at her age and similar to her son, if she can achieve a marriage, not only will she fulfill his son's wishes, but his Zhuqing Gang can also be regarded as having a relationship with the Emei faction.

He glanced at Situ Ping again, and felt that his son was also handsome, talented, and quite like his youth, and he might not be worthy of a girl like Emei.

So, with a smile on his face, he pretended to ask casually, "I heard that Master Venerable has never gone down the mountain for many years of pious practice, and Miss Zhang serves as a disciple, which is really commendable." It's just a feast for a while, I wonder if the girl also has to eat fast like the teacher?"

Where would Ba Jinlun have expected that there was a deep meaning behind Situ He's question, he was not happy when he ate on weekdays, and even if he left behind what Baili Xianxian said about the cultivation of bringing hair, he only said that he had never become a monk, and there were no taboos in diet.

Situ He smiled with satisfaction when he heard this, and Situ Ping's eyes lit up next to him, and he blurted out, "I don't know if the girl is Guigeng this year?"

Ba Jinlun was thinking about Xing Wusheng's strange swordsmanship at this time, and he had no avoidance of the woman's shy question, and replied stupidly: "It's twenty years old this year." ”

Situ He frowned, and secretly thought, the same age as Ping'er, he is a little older, but his appearance is really a human character, no wonder Ping'er is so fascinated.

Ba Jinlun didn't realize that he had become the target of the father and son, but Situ Qian on the side looked at his father and brother's expressions, and then listened to their inquiring words, so he guessed the matter.

It turns out that my brother wants this girl to be my sister-in-law, and it seems that my father does not object, Situ Qian's eyes rolled, and she looked at this Zhang girl carefully, she is so tall, not much shorter than my brother, can save people from the hands of the Divine Fist, and the martial arts will naturally not be bad, isn't my brother afraid that after becoming a parent, he will not be able to beat his daughter-in-law.

Ba Jinlun noticed that Situ Qian was secretly staring at him, thinking that he was now a woman anyway, and he had the courage to set his eyes on Situ Qian, completely unaware that this girl had regarded him as his future sister-in-law in his heart.

Situ He saw that his children were staring at Miss Zhang, and thought to himself that he should not be in a hurry with other girls, so he slapped his palms, and the mermaids who had been waiting outside the hall for a long time rushed in, and plates of exquisite dishes were placed on the table in front of everyone.

"Come on, Miss Zhang, the old man will give you a glass first. Situ He stood up and raised his glass towards Ba Jinlun.

"Situ Gang Master, please. Ba Jinlun also stood up, hid the wine glass behind the veil, and took a sip, and Situ Ping, Situ Qian, and the masters of the inner and outer halls also drank a glass.

After drinking the wine, everyone sat down to eat vegetables, and the people in the rivers and lakes did not pay attention to those red tapes, especially the five big and three rough men like Li Biao, the master of the outer hall of the Zhuqing Gang, grabbed a piece of roast chicken with his big hand and chewed it with a big mouthful, and Wu Wenqing, the master of the inner hall, was a little gentle, and he also knew that he raised his glass and saluted Situ He before moving his chopsticks.

Ba Jinlun originally planned to eat at Li Fusheng's restaurant at noon, but he was dragged to eat by the two gangs of fires until now, and his chest was already hungry against his back. Seeing that the wine and delicacies were constantly being served, he simply took off his veil, pinched his chopsticks, and tried to grip a stranded piece of meat with the most elegant movement.

Hearing a loud bang in the hall, the wine glass in the hand of Wu Wenqing, the master of the inner hall, slipped to the ground, and the amber wine spilled all over the ground. In the battle of the restaurant, Wu Wenqing was responsible for guarding the main altar, because he had no chance to see the appearance of "Zhang Menglin".

Then there was another "oops" sound, although Li Biao, the owner of the outer hall, had seen the true face of "Zhang Menglin" at a glance in the restaurant, but he was munching on the chicken leg and still couldn't help biting on the tip of his tongue.

Situ Ping was also a little depressed when he saw the appearance of the two hall masters, thinking that my father's meaning was so obvious, do you two still want to fight with the young gang master for women?

Situ Qian's eyes widened, covered her mouth, and said in a daze: "Sister Menglin, are you a fairy in the sky?" ”

Ba Jinlun pretended not to see everyone's reaction, and ate the food by himself, and the surrounding Zhuqing Gang men actually restrained their movements under the peerless appearance of "her", and the sound of smashing the bar mouth quietly quieted down, and the hall was silent for a while.

Situ Qian stood up, Shi Shiran walked to Ba Jinlun's side and attached it to his arm affectionately, "Good sister, is the Emei faction not only teaching the martial arts of the disciples under the sect, but also teaching the sisters to dress up, and Qian'er really wants to worship under the Emei sect." ”

Ba Jinlun felt that his elbow was sticking to a lump of softness, and he rubbed it gently as Situ Qiandi was coquettish, how could he be ecstatic. But in front of everyone's eyes, where did he dare to show his abnormality, so he had to explain in a soft voice that there were mostly monks with green lanterns and ancient Buddhas on Mount Emei, and they were dressed very plainly.

Just when he was embarrassed, a gang trotted in outside the hall, leaned over and whispered in the ear of Wu Wenqing, the master of the inner hall, Wu Wenqing listened, waved his hand to signal the gang to retreat, raised his eyes and looked at Situ He, looking like he wanted to say something.

When Situ He saw it, he said: "Master Wu, Miss Zhang is not an outsider, you can report anything directly." ”

Wu Wenqing rolled his eyes when he heard this, thinking to himself, helping the master, you and this Miss Zhang have only known each other for half a day, can you already become the daughter-in-law of your old man's family. People are from a high-ranking family, and Mrs. Lichen has a strange temper, that is, the young gang leader wants to marry someone, and people may not be able to agree.

Slander is slander, Wu Wenqing didn't dare to delay the business, "Qiyu Gang Master, the twenty-three brothers under the torture hall have all been taken down, after being interrogated and screened by my inner hall disciples, no one was found to have rebelled with Xing Wuming, how should these brothers be handled, and please make it clear to the gang leader." ”

Situ He stroked his beard, sighed, and said with some embarrassment: "The old man has always treated the disciples in the gang well, and I don't believe that there will be people in the gang who have different intentions. It's a pity that Xing Wuming lived up to the old man's cultivation heart, which is really infuriating and unbearable. After the banquet, the old man will personally interrogate Xing Wusheng and ask him where the old man can't stand him, so that he can be so ruthless to the old man...... As for those torture hall disciples, let's disperse and detain them for a few days, and then let them go. ”

Seeing that Situ He was quite tearful, everyone spoke out to persuade and be relieved, and the atmosphere in the hall became sad for a while. Only Situ Qian pulled Ba Jinlun tightly and asked him carefully about women's makeup and dressing, and fortunately, the disguise technique that Ba Jinlun learned was very similar to that of women's red thrushes, so it was not full of flaws.

Situ Ping's meal was the same as chewing wax, and his heart was all tied to Miss Zhang, seeing his sister and Miss Zhang talking intimately, he couldn't wait to sit next to Miss Zhang on behalf of his sister.

After the banquet was over, the two hall masters took the first step to leave, Situ Qian still held the Ba Jin wheel tightly and walked out, while Situ He and Situ Ping followed behind. I saw Situ Qian smiling, first glanced at her brother slyly, and then said to Situ He, "Daddy, I have a very close relationship with Sister Menglin, so it's okay to let my sister stay in my room today?"

Ba Jinlun listened to the movement of his shoulders, his heart was full of flavors, and he meowed, my master, when I was a man, I wanted to sleep with him but couldn't, and today I was disguised as a woman, but I flew to this beautiful blessing. He quietly glanced at Situ Qian, and saw that this girl was innocent, although her face was not extremely beautiful, but she was also delicate and lovely...... That's excellent, of course.

Situ Ping was behind him, taking advantage of Ba Jinlun's inability to see the expression on his face, and gave a thumbs up to the girl with a smile. Situ He rolled his eyes and smiled at the head of his jaw, "As long as Miss Zhang doesn't mind, the old man will let his subordinates clean up ......."

But before he could finish his sentence, a gang member rushed over from the corridor, panting and shouting, "Helper, it's a big deal, Master Xingtang...... No, Xing Wufang, he killed himself!"

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, and Ba Jinlun frowned slightly, there was really something strange in this, he had just seen some clues, Xing Wusheng committed suicide, and he was clearly hiding something.

"Qian'er, you go back to the room first. Ping'er, come with me to take a look. Situ He said in a deep voice, and then turned his head to Ba Jinlun and said, "Miss Zhang, the disciples of your sect are well-informed, and I have to bother you to condescend to your dignity and follow the old man to find out." Xing Wuming was captured by Ba Jinlun, and at this time he committed suicide and died, so Situ He had to ask Ba Jin's turn to take a look at the scene.

Situ Qian smiled obediently: "Sister Menglin, then you will be busy with your father first, and Qian'er will wait for you in the room."

Ba Jinlun pouted secretly, people have said this, he can't shake his sleeves and push it clean, so he has to put on a veil and follow everyone to the outside of the firewood room of Situ Mansion.

Wu Wenqing, the master of the inner hall, was standing outside the room with a depressed face, and when he saw Situ He and his party coming in a hurry, he turned his face and said guiltily, "Helper, my subordinates have a heavy trust, and when I was interrogated, I let Xing Wuming get a chance, bite his tongue, and he is no longer alive." ”

Situ He frowned, waved his hand, and said, "Go in and have a look." ”

There were two disciples of the Inner Hall of the Zhuqing Gang guarding the firewood room, and Xing Wuming had his hands tied behind his back, leaning on the pyre, his mouth full of blood. Situ He stretched out his hand to reach out to his neck and sighed slightly, "Just interrogated, what did he confess?"

Wu Wenqing said: "His subordinates asked him why he secretly betrayed the gang and took refuge in the Shenquan Gate, he only repeated it over and over again, sorry for the gang leader, sorry for the ancestors of the Xing family, and didn't mention a word. In the end, his subordinates were also a little anxious, so they made a move, but who knew that he actually committed suicide. ”

"I'm sorry for the ancestors of the Xing family?" Situ He muttered, "If you say I'm sorry for my Situ He, it is reasonable, but this gang grievance in the rivers and lakes, what is the matter with the ancestors of the Xing family? Could it be that my Situ He will also harm his family?"

"Could it be that the Divine Fist used his family to blackmail him, so he betrayed your gang?" Ba Jinlun interjected.

Wu Wenqing shook his head, "Miss Zhang doesn't know, Xing Wuming is a person from Liaodong, his parents are in his hometown, and he has never married a wife or had children in Dengzhou. ”

Situ He had doubts in his heart, Xing Wu's death, who knows if there is any murderous motive hidden, most of the power of the Divine Fist Sect is still hidden in the dark, especially the mysterious masters who have joined the new franchise, they have not yet shown their faces, and the days of the Zhuqing Gang in Dengzhou City are only afraid that they will become more and more sad.

He has carefully cultivated Xing Wuming for many years, and cultivated him as the first master of the gang, thinking that he will have no second heart at that time, only before Xing Wuming told him to take leave, saying that he was going out to run errands, and it would be more than two months to go, and this change must have happened in these two months.

Now, his years of cultivation have been in vain, and the Bamboo Green Gang is in danger again, the more Situ He thinks about it, the more angry he becomes, he suddenly pulls out the green bamboo sword from his waist, and with a flick of his wrist, the tip of the sword slashes several sword marks on Xing Wusheng's corpse, but only cuts his clothes, and does not hurt the flesh and skin.

Situ He used these swords to relieve the boredom in his heart, and hummed, "Hall Master Wu, the deceased is gone, let's bury him." "Turn around and walk out.

But he heard Ba Jinlun "Huh", and "oops" covered his eyes and turned around, Situ He didn't know what happened, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Xing Wusheng's body, only to see that the lower body of the corpse had just been cut through the crotch by his own sword, revealing the ugly thing inside.

Everyone looked at it one after another, and they all said "Huh", it turned out that Xing Wu's body was different from ordinary men, and if they looked closely, it seemed that someone had forcibly cut it off.

Ba Jinlun secretly shouted that it was dangerous, just now he was unwilling to break the clue, and a pair of eyes stared at the corpse and never left, so he was the first to discover the abnormality of Xing Wu's lower body. As soon as he said "Huh", he came to his senses, with his current identity as Zhang Menglin, the Emei woman, he must not point out the abnormality of this corpse in front of everyone, so he could only pretend to be shy, cover his eyes and turn away.

Seeing this, Situ He said, "Miss Zhang, this corpse is unsightly, please go outside the room for a while." ”

Ba Jinlun was helpless, although he wanted to know what happened to Xing Wuming, but after all, he was afraid of arousing the suspicion of his identity from the Zhuqing Gang, so he had to walk out in a huff.

Situ He waited for Ba Jin's turn to go out, then closed the door, picked open Xing Wusheng's pants with his sword, and said, "Sure enough, someone injured his lower body." ”

Wu Wenqing nodded and said, "I'm afraid it's not only that, but this technique is very old-fashioned, and it is definitely not a mistake that injured this place during the fight." ”

Situ He frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

The subordinates felt ...... Xing Wuming seems to have been cleaned......" Wu Wenqing replied hesitantly, "And it hasn't been long since the scar has been formed, it should be within two months." ”

Ba Jinlun held his breath outside the firewood room, and heard the conversation between the two in the room clearly.

It turned out to be a dead eunuch...... All the conspiracies were carried out by Xing Wuming of the Zhuqing Gang, and even the flower picking case in Suzhou City was also done by the forces behind Xing Wuming.

Now that Xing Wuming is dead and the clues are all broken, Ba Jinlun just wants to immediately find Wang Mingtu and Mo Yangui and return to Hehuan Valley together.
