Chapter 47: The Feast of Disaster (3)
"King Kong Thorn" Yao Buzhi, "Thunder Chain" Zhang Ke, Yi Qiuqin, the head of the Meteor Sword Sect, and Xu Yanting, "Wild Goose Piercing the Clouds", these people are famous, have a wide range of friends, and there are really a lot of disciples and relatives and friends of the same generation, and after a while, together with more than 20 people who came from the backyard, more than 70 people have gathered in front of the front hall. On the steps, a red-faced man in a dark brown robe of twenty-seven or eighteen years old thought to be the leader of the Meteor Sword Sect, and when he heard several people call him Senior Brother, he walked around the steps with an irritable expression, and when he saw that all the junior disciples had returned, and the disciples of the various factions had also gathered, he coughed, opened his eyes and shouted into the hall: "Senior Uncle Ling Fei!
The whole house held their breath to hear what he had to say.
"I am the eldest disciple of Yi Qiuqin of the Meteor Sword Sect, and today in front of all the elders and uncles, I beg the two of you to tell us the truth, my master is ...... Have you been killed by the dog thieves of the Strange Cases Division?"
As soon as the words came out, everyone was in an uproar. The heads of the various factions left their seats one after another, their faces full of surprise. The heads of the family can sit in today's position, how can it be easy to be with them, their brains turned slightly, and compared what they had just seen with what they heard at noon, and immediately guessed a rough idea. It's just that this is a big problem, and the strange case division will make a bold move to kill and injure famous people in the rivers and lakes, and there must be no doubt that the court will instruct it. Could it be that Emperor Taizong would really ignore foreign enemies and first settle down at home and then go to the outside? It is a well-known fact that the Central Plains art world is growing stronger day by day, and it has become a hidden worry for the imperial court, but isn't it too anxious for the imperial court to choose the current opportunity to make a move? This will only cheapen the foreigners.
"Jingyang!" an old man with a red mole on his eyebrows in front of the flower pond was shocked when he heard the news, jumped up from his seat, and flew to the front of the hall. Grabbing the senior brother's shoulder: "Jingyang, what are you talking about......?" Your master was killed?!"
"Uncle Guangyi!" The man named Jingyang became excited when he saw the person who came clearly. I couldn't help but cry, tears flowed all over my face. "Your old man is here too!...... The master is dead!" He hugged the old man's arms and bowed his head and bowed, "The dog thieves of the Strange Case Division have killed the master! Ask the master to call the shots for us! The Shushan faction deceived the world and stole the name, and they didn't dare to go against the imperial court, so they hid the truth from us, and they ......" He turned his head sharply to Ling Fei and the others, and said angrily: "They are acting for the tiger, and they are entertaining the murderer inside, if it weren't for someone to guide us, we would still be kept in the dark." Eating at the same table with the murderer of the master, although we are still dishonored to die!"
Hearing the whispers in the hall, Ling Fei couldn't help but turn his face sink. He asked Jingyang, "Who told you that your master was killed?"
"Hand over the murderer! Let's see the master. The six disciples of the Meteor Sword Sect were already red-eyed, and they didn't care about the others, and their loud shouts almost overwhelmed Ling Fei's questioning.
Senior Brother Jingyang shouted: "Who told me that you can't control it! You only said, is my master inside?! Was he killed by the Strange Case Division?"
Ling Fei glared at him and said, "Don't discuss these things yet, I'll tell you later." Until the truth of the incident is known, any conclusions are too hasty. Tell me now, who told you this?" he had a vague sense that something was wrong. As soon as the nineteen arresters of the Strange Case Division arrived at the banquet, there were unfavorable rumors against them. Isn't that too much of a coincidence? Logically speaking, these catches have just finished hurting people. They wouldn't be so blatantly participating in the birthday feast, they weren't afraid of being attacked by the crowd of heroes? Not to mention that the nineteen fast catchers were not extremely strong, Ling Fei didn't believe in his heart that they could hurt the twelve Zhang Ke.
There are many doubts about this matter. However, it can be discussed later, and it is a top priority now. It's to find out who the person who is making the informant is. The disciples of Zhaojiazhuang and Shushan had been strictly instructed not to leak the news of the twelve injured to the outside world. And in Sangju. The four Xianghelou disciples present had also been warned by Zhao Dongsheng, and they knew that the matter was so big that they would not leak it. So, at this time, the people who ran out to tell the Meteor Sword Sect, where did they get the news?
Jing Yang sneered: "You still have to hide it, don't you? If you want to continue to conceal and delay? I don't care what the truth of his matter is! Anyway, my master has been killed, I just need the murderer to come out and resist his fate!" These words were immediately recognized by a group of enthusiastic disciples, and more than a dozen people waved their knives and shouted: "Hand over the murderer!"
Someone probed the location of the nineteen catchers and shouted: "That group of turtle skins is eating in the back, let's kill his mother!" The people in the rivers and lakes have always contemptuously called the strange case division "turtle skin", referring to his black clothes, and he has the support of the court errand, just like the life-saving hard shell of Wang Ba, when the next call caused Baihe, the injured people who were aroused to have the same hatred wanted to bypass Ling Fei and the others, and rushed to the back to fight with the enemy. Unbeknownst to him, a whistle sounded, and the Dharma protector disciples brought by the Shushan faction fell from the sky, the wind swept in all directions, and two golden eagles appeared in front of everyone's eyes out of thin air, flapping their wings and raising the wind, blocking the passage to the backyard.
Things have evolved to this point, and Hongyuan, Ye Yu and others feel that they can't be silent any longer. They also felt that things were a little strange, but at the moment, the most important thing was to stop the Meteor Sword Sect from continuing to provoke Shushan. Ling Fei Dao's temper is like an underwater molten fire, seemingly calm, but it is very easy to lead, the person hiding in the shadows can be regarded as seeing this weakness, and instructing an impulsive and reckless Jingyang to slander Shushan, just afraid of causing an incident.
It seems that the enemy not only wants to provoke the relationship between the Central Plains art world and the imperial court and intensify the contradiction between the two, but also wants to use this to kill two birds with one stone and weaken the prestige of the Shushan faction. Saying that Shushan colluded with the imperial court and betrayed his colleagues, such slander is difficult to justify clearly, and it is very easy to provoke people's anger, once Ling Fei loses his mind and makes an outrageous move, and then the truth is not known to add fuel to the fire, the power of the leader of the Shushan faction will be greatly weakened, and the deterrence and leadership of Shushan will be lost, and it will be difficult for the Great Song Dynasty to be restrained by only relying on a monk sect in Tianlong Temple.
"Say!" Ling Fei was furious in an instant. Let Hongyuan and the others be shocked, this shock was like a huge thunder explosion in everyone's hearts, and everyone listened to it with a trance. "Who told you the news!"
Jing Yang was frightened by Ling Fei's drinking, and the tough attitude born of grief and anger was suppressed in an instant, but he still refused to give in, and said with a stiff neck: "What are you so good at! You have the ability to go to the Strange Case Division and shout at our juniors, aren't you afraid of losing your identity!"
Ling Fei didn't answer him. only looked at him and said lightly: "I'll ask again." Who told you that your master was killed! is the murderer, if you don't tell the story, you will become an accomplice to hurt the master. ”
Jing Yang couldn't stand the knife-like gaze, turned his gaze, and said indignantly: "At this time, you still have to shield the dogs of the Qi Case Division! They plotted against my master, Uncle Zhang Ke, and Uncle Xu Yanting in Xiangzhou, and now they are drinking in your Zhaojiazhuang! You also strictly ordered your disciples not to spread the word, ha! It's a joke! The mouth of the defense is more important than the defense of Sichuan, but there were still others who saw it at that time, and there were others who reported to us! If not. I will be deceived by you!" he said, and took out a piece of paper from his bosom, and unfolded it, and everyone saw that a few lines were densely written on it, but it was too far away, but they could not see what was written. Ling Fei moved like the wind, swept up like a big eagle, suddenly disappeared and returned, and everyone's eyes were glazed. Ling Fei was seen standing on the steps with a note in his hand.
Jing Yang was dumbfounded, and stood in place with a hand raised.
"The Venerable Master Yi Qiuqin has been killed. The twelve companions were arrested by the Strange Case Division in the Xiangzhou Restaurant, and the murderer was in the middle of the banquet at the moment! The Shushan faction was afraid of the imperial court and did not dare to come forward, and deliberately concealed the truth. I want to compromise this matter secretly. Quickly send all the juniors and disciples to contact Zhang Ke, Xu Yanting and other disciples, and many people can be afraid of the public, and gather all their strength to question the Shushan faction in public. And ask the heroes of the world to uphold justice for you. Whether the teacher's revenge is avenged or not depends on your efforts. Remember, remember. Attached is a list of the twelve injured people, who were hidden in the backyard of Zhaojiazhuang: Xu Yanting, Yao Buzhi, Zhang Ke 、......" Below the note is a list of people. Ling Fei looked at it word by word, and his face became like a piece of black iron, becoming heavier and heavier.
By this time, he had already determined that this was a conspiracy that led to disaster. The people hidden in the shadows want to stir up the contradiction between the Central Plains Martial Arts Circle and the Strange Case Division, and suppress Shushan. Who is it that is so deliberately going against the people of the Central Plains? Being able to injure 12 people head-on, the strength of this group of people is not trivial. Rohmans, Khitans, or monsters?
The disciples below clamored one after another: "The dog thief of the Strange Case Division is out!"
"Turtle skin of the Strange Case Division! Harm my master's life, get out and speak!"
Just as it was noisy, there were two applauses from the screen on the back of Master Hongyuan, and a gloomy voice was like cold water soaking out of the aisle: "Who values the Strange Case Division so much, and it is really a great honor to mention our name several times." More than a dozen knife-wielding men dressed in black turned the screen, and the first one was talking with a sallow face and a smile, but it was not Lord Lu!
"Tell me what's going on. Master Lu saw Han Jingyang, the senior disciple of the Meteor Sword Sect in the middle of the crowd, and asked him with a smile, "I heard that your master was killed?"
"Dog offal! It's you who hurt my master!" As soon as Han Jingyang saw that he was arrested, the anger that had been extinguished suddenly became vigorous again, he jumped up, stretched out his finger like a halberd and pointed at Lord Lu, "Kill people to pay for your life, and repay your debts! You court lackeys, today in front of the heroes of the world, you must finally give us an explanation! Say! My master has no grievances with you, why do you want to harm him!"
"Yes, we have no grievances with him, why do we want to harm him?" Lord Lu said, there was no displeasure on his face, which was very different from the domineering attitude when he entered the village before, "Since you already know this truth, why do you want to ask me?"
"You ......" Han Jingyang was a little angry, his face was swollen red, and he shouted: "Who knows what you dogs are thinking in their hearts! A group of foxes and fake tigers, usually bullying the good, but today they rode on our heads again, and our Meteor Sword Sect is not finished with you!" After speaking, the tiger squatted down, his arms stretched, and he only waited for the enemy to go up and fight desperately.
Master Lu just didn't see it, walked out of the front hall with a calm expression, sighed and said: "Alas, the young man has too much temper and neglects to discipline, which must be blamed on your master for not teaching you well, well, by the way, I don't know who your master is for such a long time, from the Meteor Sword Sect...... What's it called?"
A young disciple of the Meteor Sword Sect shouted angrily: "Don't make excuses to deny it! My master is Yi Qiuqin! You used a conspiracy to plot against my master, and you didn't dare to admit it?"
"Oh, Yi Qiuqin, I haven't heard of it. Master Lu nodded and said, "I don't think it's a famous person, and it's not worth the hands of the Strange Case Division." He stood still, facing the group of heroes in the hall and glancing at the past, his eyes gradually oozing coldness: "The strange case division uses official documents to arrest and kill people, and has always been on the orders of the imperial court to strangle and kill treacherous evil according to the law. However, those who bully the people, injure others, are extremely vicious, kill innocents indiscriminately, form cliques for personal gain, and plot rebellion and rebellion are all among those who are hunted down and killed. He deliberately accentuated the tone of the eight characters of "forming a party for personal gain, plotting rebellion and rebellion", "The duties of the Strange Case Division, I want everyone to understand, lead all factions in the art world, maintain the stability of our Great Song Dynasty, we will not harm the innocent, and we will not care about the identity of the perpetrator or what sect," Speaking of this, he intentionally or unintentionally tilted his gaze to the Ling Fei people in the hall, and his tone was even more severe, "As long as you dare to resist the Great Song Dynasty, you are the public enemy of the world!" Disrupt the discipline, the imperial court will not sit idly by, and the Strange Cases Division will use all means to hunt them down and kill the Fa-rectification! Hey, I know that many of you here are the heads of the gangs, and there are many people, but this is not enough to rely on, compared to the number of people arrested by the Strange Cases Division in the Sixteen Prefectures, but what about it? Compared to the 100,000 Praetorian Guards in the capital, what about it? If there are still people who think that their sect is big enough, their spells are strong, and they dare to resist and disobey the order, hum!" He snorted heavily, and stared: "The Great Song Dynasty still has the law of continuous sitting!" When the time comes, relatives and friends will be delayed, and the disciples will be sent to migrate, don't say that no one has reminded you of the awakening!"
There was silence in the hall. This Lord Lu traveled thousands of miles to celebrate the real purpose of his birthday, and everyone guessed some of it.
The Song and Liao countries have been at war for many years, and the consumption of soldiers is extremely huge. The national strength of the Great Song Dynasty has declined a lot compared to the beginning of the founding of the country, and a demon disaster in Fenzhou a few years ago has made it even worse, the imperial court had to dispatch a large number of strange cases to catch fast and the front-line garrison army rushed to Ping Demon, more than two years of expeditions, countless casualties, the original personnel of the Strange Case Division, the number of states and counties has been greatly reduced, so that the balance of power between the government and the art world for many years began to be unbalanced, which brought worries to the imperial court. In this case, if someone takes the opportunity to raise the flag and make trouble, it will be difficult for the Song Dynasty court to deal with both external invasion and internal strife, and it will eventually collapse.
In order to avoid being passive, the Great Song Dynasty could only preemptively issue strict laws to strengthen the containment of people in the art world. Zhaojiazhuang held a birthday feast, which was originally not a big deal, but Ling Fei took this opportunity to open the way again, attracting heroes from all over the world to gather in Longde Mansion, which aroused suspicion. Lord Lu and the eighteen arresters came quickly, thinking that they wanted to declare to the leaders of the various factions who was the leader of the Central Plains art world.
