Geng Hongjun saw that the shopkeeper was babbling endlessly, and said sharply: "Do you want to say it or not? If you don't say it quickly, we will take the money and ask others." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly stretched out his hands to cover the gold, but he didn't dare to pick it up, and said: "In the border of Henan, there is a very famous thief named Han Baodi, and the people on the rivers and lakes call him a ghost ghost, this person has been stealing for a living all his life, and he ......."

Zheng Kui interrupted him and said, "Okay, don't talk about it, take the gold and go." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly picked up the gold and said continuously: "Ouch, thank you, thank you." Then he turned and went out.

After he left, Zheng Kui said: "I know that this Emperor Han Bao he said has such a number one person in the rivers and lakes. His people have also climbed the newcomer ring and broken through the champion platform. Later, I heard that he also went to participate in the martial arts sect conference of Taidouya, but on the way, like us, he was stolen by someone, so he couldn't start his own sect as he wished, so he hated to be a thief. He is now in Liuxi Village, which is not far from here, and the entire village is inhabited by Jiang Yang thieves under him, because ordinary people will be stolen when they enter, so no one else dares to live in that village. ”

The Shangguan brothers and Geng Hongjun felt in high spirits after hearing this, especially Geng Hongjun, who immediately set off for Liuxi Village. Zheng Kui and Zheng Biao had no other way, only by finding the ghost hand could they know the whereabouts of the brothers' weapons.

Before leaving, Zheng Kui took out another ingot of gold from his baggage. Geng Hongjun said: "Big brother, you dare to bring money there?"

Zheng Kui said: "Although Emperor Han Bao did not have the qualifications to start a sect in the rivers and lakes, that village is not to say that the sect is also a sect, and the family is powerful. How could our brothers go empty-handed, first, to use the money to buy a few blades that almost fit in hand, and second, to ask for things, always to bring some gifts, which is also in line with the rules of the rivers and lakes. ”

Shangguan Ding said: "They stole our things, it's normal for us to go and come back, why do we have to buy them gifts?"

Zheng Kui said: "Fifth brother, the rivers and lakes have the rules of the rivers and lakes, and people make a living from them, but they are also people in the rivers and lakes, we put etiquette first, and they will definitely return the weapons to us." If you go to rob hard, even if we have the ability to win the game, when the time comes, people say that they have lost it, and they hide it and don't give it to you, or they don't admit that someone else took it, and you have no evidence to prove that someone else took it, and then it is we who will be embarrassed. Shangguan Ding nodded after listening.

The five brothers first bought three swords, a knife, and a pair of knives to carry on their bodies, and bought some wine, meat, snacks, etc., and hurried to Liuxi Village.

As soon as I entered the village, two men greeted me and said, "What are you doing in our Liuxi Village?"

Zheng Kui preemptively said: "Two heroes, we are going to participate in the newcomer competition, and today we learned that the old man of Emperor Han Bao lives here, so several of our brothers came to visit." ”

One of them said, "Oh, that's right, then you can come with me." ”

The five men followed him into the village. After a while, he came to a house, and the man shouted outside the door: "Han Daxia, there are five young people who have come to visit." ”

I heard one of the people inside, "Please come in." The man said a word, then turned and left.

The five people entered the room, and when they saw that there were three people in it, and the one sitting in the middle was a man of about fifty years old, short in stature, but he looked full of energy. On the left and right sat a middle-aged man.

Zheng Kui stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Presumably this is Han Daxia, I and other juniors have come to see me today, and I am just a small courtesy to show my gratitude." As he spoke, he handed over the things he had bought.

The man sitting on the left took the gift and set it aside. The man in the middle said: "That's right, I'm Emperor Han Bao, I don't know what sect and sect they are?"

Zheng Kui said: "My name is Zheng Kui, this brother's name is Zheng Biao, we are the disciples of the Liujian Sect, the disciple of Qin Zhongheng, and the disciple of Zheng Tunan. ”

After hearing this, Emperor Han Bao got up and said, "Oh, it turned out to be the disciple of Qin Zhongheng's elder brother, and coming to the Humble House today really made me shine here." He laughed.

Zheng Kui said: "Where is it, we are juniors, and our name is not as good as Han Daxia." ”

Emperor Han Baodi smiled after hearing this: "Good boy, you can speak." ”

Zheng Kui continued: "This brother of mine is called Geng Hongjun, and he is the descendant of Geng Zhongkui, the former head of the Giant Sword Gate. ”

After hearing this, Emperor Han Baodi said, "Oh?" Then he walked over and took Geng Hongjun's hand and looked it up and down for a while, and then said: "Virtuous nephew, I was good friends with your father in the old years, and later learned what happened to your father, I deeply regretted it, and I am really very pleased to see you today." Seeing that you are a talent, you are really a hero and a young man, and there are successors of the Geng family!"

Geng Hongjun said in his heart: "You stole my weapon, and said that you were good friends with my father, if you really made friends, how could you not know the Tai'a beside me?" Although he thought so in his heart, he still said: "Thank you for the old man's compliment." ”

Zheng Kui continued: "These two, the older one is called Shangguan Qianye, and the younger one is called Shangguan Ding, and they are the disciples of the former martial arts alliance leader Tieshan Old Layman. ”

When Emperor Han Bao heard this, he hurriedly said: "Oh! I never expected that the two young heroes would also come to the cold house today, it's really ...... It's ......". Then he hurriedly said to the two people beside him: "You guys go and prepare wine and food, today I want to invite these five heroes to have a few drinks, especially the two young heroes of Shangguan!" The two replied and went out, and Emperor Han Bao hurriedly asked the five people to sit down.

After everyone sat down, Shangguan Qianye said: "Old man, we are here today, there is really something else. ”

Emperor Han Bao said: "Young man, please speak, as long as I Han can do it, I will do my best." ”

Shangguan Qianye said: "Old man, yesterday the five of our brothers were drunk because of greed, and they accidentally lost their respective weapons. It is said that Han Laoxia is a master in this industry, so our brothers came here today to ask Han Laoxia if they know the whereabouts of these weapons. ”

After hearing this, Emperor Han Bao got up and said, "I don't know what items a few young heroes have lost?"

Geng Hongjun said angrily at this time: "I lost Tai'a." ”

Emperor Han Bao sighed and said, "But the Tai'a Sword worn by Geng Zhongkui Supreme?"

Geng Hongjun snorted after hearing this: "Exactly!"

After hearing this, Emperor Han Bao said to himself: "This is a big deal. Then he came to the door and called, "Someone!" and in a short time seven or eight young men ran in from outside.

Emperor Han Bao said: "You guys quickly go and check if anyone in our village went to the inn at the foot of Songshan Mountain to steal weapons without permission last night!" Those people were just about to leave.

Zheng Kui hurriedly said: "Wait, old knight, not only did I lose Tai'a, but also the sword worn by my Zheng brothers, although it is not very valuable, but after all, it is also a thing given by the master." ”

Emperor Han Bao heard this and said: "Don't worry, young man, if I find out which rabbit cub stole it privately, I will not spare him!"

Zheng Kui said again: "Old man, in addition, the Shangguan brothers also lost the seven-eyed remnant dragon and Pangu Xiao given by the old monk of Tieshan. ”

Emperor Han Bao's head buzzed after hearing this, and he almost fell, but Zheng Kui stepped forward to help him. Emperor Han Baodi trembled and said to a few people outside: "Call everyone in the whole village, I will interrogate me personally." ”

Not long after, all the thieves in Liuxi Village came to Emperor Han Baodi's courtyard. The two people who entered the house first also came to Emperor Han Bao's side.

Emperor Han Bao stood up and said to the five brothers: "Please rest assured, five young heroes, if it is really someone from my village who steals your treasure, I will definitely return the original thing, and I will severely punish the person who stole the treasure!"

Shangguan Qianye got up and said: "Old man, that's not necessary, I think the treasure thief doesn't know that it is us, just take back the weapon." ”

Emperor Han Bao said: "Thank you Shaoxia, wait for me to ask." Then he turned to the two people who were in the room before and said, "You two go outside quickly to count the number of people, and if there are any who are not there, find them immediately." ”

The two went out for a while before they came back and said, "One is not less." ”

Emperor Han Bao said: "Okay!" Then he went out and said loudly to the crowd: "Last night, someone went out of the village without permission and stole weapons at the inn at the foot of Songshan Mountain. Now, please take the initiative of the one among you to stand up, if you take out the filth and return it to the owner, I can spare him today, old man, if you don't take the initiative to stand up, if I find out who it is, take the life of the dog who is waiting for you!

Emperor Han Bao was furious and shouted, "Kneel down for me!" With a shout, the hundred and ten people outside all knelt on the ground. Emperor Han Bao said to the two who were originally in the house: "You two take people and go from house to house to search for me." After hearing this, the two of them took the people and left.

Emperor Han Bao said again: "It's still too late to stand up now, if you find the weapon later, I will immediately put your head on the dog!"

Geng Hongjun came to Emperor Han Bao's side and said, "Old man, why do you trust those two so much, you are sure that it was not the two of them who stole the weapon?"

Emperor Han Bao said: "Those two are my sons, one is called Han Zhongyuan, and the other is called Han Zhongxuan. From yesterday night to today, five young heroes have been here, and we have been in one place. ”

Geng Hongjun snorted and said, "Didn't you steal it yourself and not take it out, and then pretend to check others in front of our brother and pretend to be a good person?"

After hearing this, Zheng Kui hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "Fourth brother, how can you be so rude to the old man. ”

Emperor Han Bao said: "I don't blame Shaoxia for this, if I lose these treasures, it will naturally be the same." But what the young man said is not unreasonable, maybe my two dogs went out at night to steal a few weapons, I think so, I will take you young heroes to my inner room to take a look, if you find it, I will tell you young heroes again. ”

Geng Hongjun said: "Search it, you still don't dare to do it?"

Zheng Kui hurriedly pulled Geng Hongjun. Shangguan Qianye stepped forward and said, "Old man, I don't think it's necessary to be like this, you are our senior, and you will definitely not steal our weapons." Besides, if you have a relationship with our parents, you won't make fun of our juniors. We believe in who you are, and you don't have to blame yourself too much. ”

Emperor Han Bao said again: "There is one in ten thousand miles, I think it's better to search for it." ”

Shangguan Qianye said: "No, no. ”

Geng Hongjun said again: "Third brother, don't always be kind-hearted and look at everyone like a good person, there is no good thing to be a thief!"

As soon as these words came out, the other brothers were so angry that they stomped their feet, and the three eldest brothers looked at him with extremely stern eyes. After Geng Hongjun finished speaking, he also felt that there was something wrong with this, but the words had been spoken, and it was difficult to take them back.

At this time, the 100 people who were kneeling outside the courtyard all stood up and rushed into the courtyard together.
