Chapter 3 The long-awaited opportunity

Isn't this voice Brother Jiang's?

Zhong Dushan was completely stunned. What is Brother Jiang going to do, why did he come here late at night, why did he gather these small sects, and why did he become their leader, what kind of shocking secrets are hidden here?

After Jiang Rufeng finished speaking, all the people tacitly walked into the cave, he was the last to walk in, and before going in again, he also glanced back to observe whether there was any voyeurism around.

Zhong Dushan's heart kept beating, and he cautiously came to the mouth of the cave and listened intently to the movement inside.

"Thank you for coming, and thank you for your trust in Jiang. Let's make a long story short, five days later, it will be the full moon of the second son of the banker. At that time, the dealer will hold a banquet, and invite my family and the Zhong family, and then all the people will relax their guard, plus all the people at the banquet will be drunk, this is the best opportunity to attack. ”

This is Jiang Rufeng's voice. Zhong Dushan closed his mouth in surprise. For so many years, he has always respected Jiang Rufeng and respected him like a big brother, and Jiang Rufeng, who is strong in martial arts, has always been an example for him to learn. The uncle and aunt of the Zhong family died early, and their parents and uncles and aunts of the Zhuang family all regard Brother Jiang as their own flesh and blood, and have always regarded it as their own.

There were too many doubts, too many surprises, so that Zhong Dushan couldn't believe his eyes for a moment.

"Jiang Shaoxia, please rest assured, I will listen to Shaoxia's arrangement. Everyone said in unison.

"Okay, success or failure will be at the 100th birthday banquet in five days. Jiang is here, thank you for your help. When the matter is completed, I will definitely keep my promise, and Jiang will definitely do what I promised you. ”

Hearing Jiang Rufeng's sworn words, Zhong Dushan really didn't understand what kind of promise he gave to these small families to make them obey him Jiang Rufeng in secret.

Then, Jiang Rufeng told these entourages about the rebellion plan arranged that night, and he himself would go to the banquet that day, try to get everyone drunk, and then wait until the fireworks show, these people who were ambushed around the dealer should join forces inside and outside, and take down the dealer and the Zhong family in one fell swoop.

"Jiang Shaoxia, the old man has something to ask. The old man heard that the young man also trained a group of dead soldiers, but I don't know what role these people play in this operation?"

Jiang Rufeng saw that someone raised objections, and he was somewhat unhappy in his heart. If these people are already willing to follow themselves, why do they still have a lot of criticism about themselves?

"Uncle Zhang, please rest assured, as for those dead soldiers, I will naturally put them to use, please tell me below. ”

In fact, in Jiang Rufeng's heart, he is not a hundred at ease with these small families who follow him, so all the plans cannot be completely explained, and he has to leave a way back for himself.

Later, the group discussed some details of the operation, and then dispersed.

The whole plan was heard clearly by Zhong Dushan, who was hiding outside the cave.

At the moment, Zhong Dushan was not only surprised but also surprised, but he no longer had time to think about why Jiang Rufeng rebelled, but thought about how to tell his parents and Uncle Zhuang about this as soon as possible, so that they could be prepared enough to deal with this group of traitors.

Then, Zhong Dushan hurried back. But halfway through, he changed his mind.

He decided not to tell anyone about this first, but to take responsibility for it himself. Wait until the day of the 100-year-old banquet to personally crusade against these people, and then let the parents and the uncle of the dealer impress him, is the father can no longer think that he is still a child, and that he is still a hairy boy who has no responsibility.

Thinking of this, Zhong Dushan was a little excited, he felt that his time had come, and he was going to do something big.

When people are young, they always make wrong decisions on a whim, and this kind of decision sometimes really makes people regret it for a lifetime. When Zhong Dushan, who became an adult, recalled the hasty decision when he was young, he always sighed.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the 100th birthday banquet of the second son of the Zhuang family.

The Zhuang family's family is already over half a hundred years old, but there are not many heirs under their knees, and now they are old and happy, so they want to hold a banquet for this belated little son, and invite all the relatives of the Zhong family and the Jiang family to celebrate together.

All relatives and friends have been present, everyone is not empty-handed, full of congratulatory gifts to make the dealer family smile from ear to ear.

Jiang Rufeng also arrived as promised. I saw him greet him with a smile and say to Uncle Zhuang:

"Congratulations to the eldest uncle for having a son, and I wish the little boy a long life. ”

"Okay, good, like the wind, I'll have a few drinks with my uncle later." ”

"That's natural," Jiang Rufeng said: "That's right, uncle, the little boy has a birthday, and I don't have anything noble to give, but I heard that there is a string band in the village under the mountain, and the music is very high, so I sent someone to invite them, thinking that I can help everyone after watching the fireworks show." ”

"It's still my good nephew who thinks thoughtfully, yes, yes. ”

"Okay, Uncle Zhuang, I just want to lead these people to the backyard and let them prepare a little. ”

After speaking, Jiang Rufeng led nearly fifty men holding various musical instruments to the backyard. If you look closely, these characters are ostensibly dressed in the clothes of villagers, but they are all sharp-eyed, and they don't look like simple mountain people at all.

However, Uncle Zhuang, who had already been carried away by joy, did not notice this at all, but such an abnormal phenomenon was seen by Zhong Dushan, who was standing aside.

In fact, Zhong Dushan came to Zhuangfu early this morning, saying that he was here to help early, but he was actually waiting for Jiang Rufeng in secret. If I saw Jiang Rufeng coming today and bringing so many so-called bands, I couldn't help but get nervous.

At this time, a thought suddenly flashed through Zhong Dushan's mind, which was also in the cave, someone asked about the whereabouts of the group of dead soldiers cultivated by Jiang Rufeng, but Jiang Rufeng did not tell him, presumably, these so-called mountain folk bands were played by those dead soldiers. Jiang Rufeng hid them in the backyard and waited for the rebellion to be in case of emergency.

This Jiang Rufeng is really scheming, it turns out that the group of dead soldiers, he kept it for himself, if those followers of small families make mistakes, this group of dead soldiers can come in handy.

The guests came one after another, and the village became more and more lively, and everyone was smiling and happily celebrating the birthday of this little life. Among all the guests, the most nervous is Jiang Rufeng, who is smiling on the surface, and keeps staggering with everyone, pushing cups and changing lamps, but in fact, in his heart, he is planning and calculating his actions minute by minute.

There is another person who is more nervous than Jiang Rufeng at this moment, that is Zhong Dushan, although in the past few days, in order to destroy Jiang Rufeng's chance to destroy Jiang Rufeng on the night of the banquet and protect everyone's safety, he has not relaxed for a while, and has been preparing all day and night, thinking of countermeasures, but after all, this is the first time he has acted alone, if there is a loophole in any link, it will definitely fall short, not only will it not contain Jiang Rufeng, but it will make the dealer and the Zhong family hurt. So, at this moment, his heart is really up and down.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. Uncle Zhuang raised his glass slightly drunkenly and said:

"Thank you to all my friends and family for coming here to cheer me on and celebrate my little son's birthday. In order to make everyone more enjoyable, I also arranged a banquet performance, and everyone raised their glasses to enjoy it together. ”

After speaking, a firework crossed the sky, followed by a variety of colorful fireworks one after another, illuminating the night sky of the entire Lingyun Mountain in a colorful way, like day.

All of them were smiling and praising each other. Jiang Rufeng also pretended to be happy, but he was very anxious in his heart. Originally, it was agreed that the first fireworks would be used as a code, and those people from small households should rush in at this time, but why didn't there be any movement.

It wasn't until all the fireworks were set off that all the splendor in the night sky just now was gone, as if nothing had existed, but Jiang Rufeng still didn't wait for the pre-agreed person to come, and there was still silence outside the door. Just as he was about to find an excuse to go out and have a look, Zhong Dushan walked in through the door.

I saw Zhong Dushan clapping his hands and applauding while walking in from outside the door. All eyes were on the young man who was acting a little strangely.

"It's a good show. Still, there's still more to come. After speaking, Zhong Dushan walked straight to Jiang Rufeng, smiled and said:

"Brother Jiang, everyone was enjoying the fireworks just now, but I don't know why Brother Jiang was a little absent-minded, and kept looking out of the door, is Brother Jiang waiting for someone?"

"Brother Zhong said with a smile, where am I waiting for someone. ”

"Oh, yes, but little brother, it seems to me that Brother Jiang is really waiting for someone. I don't know if Brother Jiang is waiting for this group of people. Come, bring me those traitors with evil intentions. ”

Immediately afterward, those people from small families were brought up.

None of them knew what was going on.

"Nephew, what are you doing here, what are you bringing them in?" Uncle Zhuang asked puzzled.

"Shan'er, don't be rude. Zhong Dushan's mother scolded harshly.

"Uncle Zhuang, relatives and friends, today is the birthday of the little son, and he should be happy, but some people have ghosts in their hearts and secretly plan a conspiracy. This is not a simple conspiracy, this conspiracy is to usurp power, to make himself the only overlord of Lingyun Mountain, and to make all of us go to the funeral. ”

When everyone heard Zhong Dushan's words, they were shocked and even more confused.

Zhong Dushan continued: "And this conspiracy can really be said to be seamless, so that all of us are unaware. When we are all happily celebrating the birthday of the little son, no one would have thought that there is a catastrophe behind this. If I hadn't stumbled upon this secret five days ago, we would all be thieves today. And this person who is going to wait for us to die is none other than him, he is the person who makes all of us have high hopes and makes us juniors respect him very much. ”

After speaking, Zhong Dushan pointed at Jiang Rufeng.

"Shan'er, don't talk nonsense, how can you slander your Brother Jiang like this. Zhong Dushan's father said angrily, and was about to step forward and beat Zhong Dushan.

"Father, uncles, like everyone else, I don't believe this to be true, and if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have said such unfounded words. Brother Jiang is my role model, a few years ago in that martial arts competition, he represented the three of us to compete with others, one of them has countless enemies, it can be said that we all have heroes and benefactors, I have always sincerely respected him as a brother. However, such a person, whom I regard as an example, secretly assembled such a rebellious small sect in a cave in the back mountain, and wanted to secretly react today while everyone had relaxed their vigilance in the midst of the uproar. ”

After a pause, Zhong Dushan continued: "Of course, based on my words alone, your uncles may not believe it, so let's listen to what these people from small sects have to say." ”

Immediately afterwards, these people from small sects and factions explained everything about how Jiang Rufeng gathered them to rebel and how he promised to give them the remuneration they wanted after the matter was completed.

All of them couldn't believe what was in front of them.

At this time, Jiang Rufeng was even more frightened, he didn't expect that his hard work in the past few months would be wasted like this, the secret that he thought everything was under control was actually monitored by such a hairy boy, and these small families that he had worked so hard to envelop were so vulnerable, and confessed himself after the matter was revealed.

At this time, he had to fight to the death, but fortunately, he also arranged a group of dead soldiers to ambush in the backyard. Since he has been exposed, he simply takes off his mask and fights each other.

"Jiang Rufeng, all your crimes have been exposed, you should quickly confess your guilt. Zhong Dushan said loudly.

"No, no, hahaha, I haven't lost yet, I haven't lost yet, how could I, Jiang Rufeng, lose so easily!"

So he put his hand to his mouth and whistled, which was a code for himself to connect with the dead men who were disguised as musicians.

However, after blowing three times in a row, there was not the slightest movement around, only the desperate echo of Jiang Rufeng's hurried whistle.

Jiang Rufeng was completely dumbfounded.

"Jiang Rufeng, don't be whimsical anymore, your group of dead soldiers have already become my defeated men. ”

It turned out that by the time those so-called musicians came to the backyard, Zhong Dushan had already arranged for his subordinates to take down all the people.

"Ah, those musicians," Uncle Zhuang said in surprise, "Rufeng, it turns out that those musicians you said were specially invited to play for my son's birthday, and they are the dead soldiers you arranged in the backyard?"

"Rufeng, what the hell is going on?" Zhong Dushan's father walked up to Jiang Rufeng, hoping to hear what this nephew had to say.

"Father, is there anything else you don't understand? All the crimes, human and material evidence, if I hadn't discovered it in advance, this traitor would ......"

"Shut up!" Zhong's father scolded loudly.

Zhong Dushan obediently shut up.

"Rufeng, tell me in person, what the hell is going on?"

"Hahaha, hahaha," Seeing that the matter had been completely revealed, Jiang Rufeng sat on the ground all of a sudden, at this moment, any resistance is meaningless, this move, he has calculated everything, but he still made a mistake, and this mistake is actually a whole loss.

"That's right," Jiang Rufeng said loudly, "Yes, what Shan'er said is not wrong, it was I who gathered these small sects, it was I who asked them to help me take down all the people today, I pretended to arrange musicians, in fact, I have been training dead soldiers, I want them to cooperate with the outside world, I just want to be the overlord of this Lingyun Mountain, I just want to completely dominate the lotus." ”

"Like the wind, why, why," Zhong's father couldn't believe his ears.

"Why, are you embarrassed to ask me why?" Jiang Rufeng was like a wounded beast, venting his last majesty before dying.

"Rufeng, I've always valued you," Zhong Dushan's father said as he sighed I promised your parents, I will take care of you wholeheartedly, I have taught you all my life's martial arts, I have always been like your own son, some unique secrets, I did not even teach Shan'er, but to you, I always feel that Shan'er is still young and vigorous, without you to calm down, and your Uncle Zhuang's son is still young, in my opinion, you are the most promising and trustworthy successor, but, but, you are still not satisfied, you still want to dominate, or hurt all the people who love you!"

"Hmph, put away your so-called kindness, I don't believe it at all. When my parents died, if you could have come sooner, they wouldn't have died!" Jiang Rufeng shouted hoarsely.

"Like the wind, I admit that we were indeed responsible for what happened back then, but we also did our best, this was an accident, and it was a regret for all of us. We've been trying to make up for it over the years. Zhong Dushan's mother continued in tears: "Since the death of your parents, I have regarded you as my own flesh and blood, and treated you as my own, in my heart, you are my son, and you have broken my heart like this. ”

Jiang Rufeng smiled contemptuously, "These are all things you owe me, and you have guilt in your heart for what happened back then, so you will compensate me like this, but I know that after all, my surname is Jiang, and you will not treat me as your own family at all." I am the only one in our Jiang family, and my wife injured her body when she gave birth to Lian'er, and she will not be able to have children since then, and I Jiang Rufeng will no longer have children in this life, and I will not even have a son under my knees, and I will let you step on your feet. If I don't fight back today, I will be preyed upon by you in the future. I'm just here to protect myself, I'm just taking back what I'm supposed to have. ”

"Like the wind, how could you have such thoughts. Uncle Zhuang and I never thought that you would have such thoughts, we may sometimes inadvertently touch you who are sensitive, but we never thought of ignoring you, let alone bullying you. ”

"Yes, like the wind," Uncle Zhuang, who had been silent for a long time, also spoke, "Your Jiang family is indeed not prosperous, but the three of us are a family, among the children and grandchildren, you are their eldest brother, we really value you very much, you shouldn't have such a confused idea." Like the wind, you get up quickly, we are still a family, and we will treat it as if today's incident did not happen. ”

"Hahaha, hahaha"

Jiang Rufeng looked up to the sky and smiled, and then pulled out his own sword from the scabbard.

This sword is the heirloom of the Jiang family, the sword is extremely thin, but it is extremely sharp.

Reflecting the moonlight, this sword was so dazzling, cold and piercing.
