Ma Dayuan's death was confirmed in early October, and the incident caused a lot of waves in the rivers and lakes. Although disputes and vendettas are indispensable on the rivers and lakes every day, the deceased this time is a long-famous martial arts hero, the deputy leader of the world's largest gang, which is a great event, and the shock caused by it even covered up the impact of the Yuntai faction not long ago.

The beggar gang regarded this as a shame, and countless gangs began to investigate the matter thoroughly, focusing on Dengfeng City, where Ma Dayuan died, and the entire northern rivers and lakes were stirred.

Nearly October 15, Zhao Ji returned to Bianliang City, and the time agreed between the abbot of Guanyun and the two monks of Daxiangguo Temple arrived.

got off the boat from the Watergate Wharf, and Quan Guanqing, who came to greet him, invited Zhao Ji into the carriage and sent him directly to the Ma family, which was guarded by layers.

I haven't seen her for more than a month, Mrs. Ma looks much thinner, after meeting, Zhao Ji carefully told her what to do next, and after Mrs. Ma said that she had understood, they drove to Daxiangguo Temple together.

In a Zen room in the Great Xiangguo Temple, the Shaolin Xuanci master and the Zhiguang monk who came to the appointment sat opposite each other, the old friends reunited after a long absence, and they all had a trace of embarrassment after meeting, and at the same time they couldn't help but wonder why the abbot of Guanyun invited them to Bianliang City.

Just when she was puzzled, a woman dressed in white walked in, and without waiting for the two monks to speak, Yingying bowed down and said: "The little girl Ma Men Wen, the husband is Ma Dayuan, the deputy leader of the beggar gang who died a few days ago. This time, the abbot of Xiangguo Temple invited the two masters to come to Bianliang, and I hope to forgive me for my presumptuousness. ”

After the two monks learned each other's identities, they hurriedly got up and saluted, first calling the Buddha to comfort them, and then they couldn't help but say a little strangely: "I don't know if Mrs. Ma invited the old man, what do you want to ask?"

"The death of the first husband, the little girl should have closed the door to the funeral, but there was a strange thing happened, or it was somewhat related to the murder of the first husband, and this matter was also quite involved with the two masters, so I wanted to ask the two masters to solve the little woman's doubts. ”

As she spoke, Mrs. Ma took out the two letters that Zhao Ji had returned to her before, and first handed Wang Jiantong's book to Abbot Xuanci.

Abbot Xuanci and Master Zhiguang took the letter and opened it, their faces changed, and the old incident that they didn't want to mention decades ago resurfaced in their memories. After pondering for a long time, Abbot Xuanci folded the letter and sighed: "It turns out that Old Gang Leader Wang still has this arrangement, I don't know where Mrs. Ma got this letter from?"

Mrs. Ma didn't answer, and immediately handed over another letter, and after Abbot Xuanci read it, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face: "This is indeed the handwriting of the old man, but the old man doesn't remember that he wrote this letter to the old gang leader Wang......"

Master Zhiguang next to him took the letter and read it at the same time, and couldn't help but wonder: "Abbot, this letter is also an old thing many years ago, and the meaning of this content is also detailed and clear, maybe you forgot it after writing it, you might as well recall it carefully." ”

Abbot Xuanci shook his head and said: "That wrong thing, the old man still has regrets when he thinks about it, and he remembers what he has done for this." When the old gang leader Wang made this decision, the old man really felt that this matter was quite inappropriate, and even personally invited the old gang leader Wang to persuade him to dispel this idea, but the old gang leader Wang had already made up his mind, and the old man naturally did not say more about this matter, this was a family matter of the beggar gang after all. It's weird......"

He frowned, raised the letters in his hand, and asked, "Mrs. Ma, where did you get these letters?"

Mrs. Ma sneered, and then said: "Abbot Xuanci, Master Zhiguang, you are all great heroes admired by everyone on the rivers and lakes, and you have done great things, and the little woman sincerely admires them. Hear you say that this letter is false, but its content is true. To tell the truth, the death of the late husband has a lot to do with these two letters. As early as more than a month ago, my late husband's bloody clothes were sent to my home with these two letters, and I don't understand the vendetta and grievances on the rivers and lakes, and I don't want to ask about it, but the late husband can't die in vain. You ask me where this letter came from, and I also want to ask the two masters, what is the connection between the two letters that came out of thin air when the late husband was killed?"

Hearing Mrs. Ma's questioning, the two monks' faces were all blue and red, but they also gradually tasted the taste of conspiracy, looked at each other, their faces showed surprise, and after a while, the Zhiguang monk spoke: "I don't know who else did you show these letters to Mrs. Ma? What eyebrows did the beggars have to investigate the cause of death of the deputy gang leader of Ma?

Mrs. Ma shook her head and said, "Although the little woman is just a woman's family, she also understands that the stakes involved in these two letters are very important, and she has been holding them in her hand until she meets the two masters, and she takes them out and asks the two masters to solve my doubts?

Master Xuanci frowned and said: "In this incident back then, Lao Qu and the others were not clean, and they didn't want to leave a legacy to affect Deputy Gang Leader Ma, which was the sin of Lao Qu and others. Mrs. Ma, the question you asked, the old man is really puzzled, I don't know who did such an evil thing, looking at the content of this letter, it seems to be like seeing what happened back then, but there are very few people alive who were involved in the matter back then......"

Master Zhiguang said: "Master Abbot, don't forget, the baby of the past has now become a big hero all over the world. Deputy Ma's gang leader is strong in martial arts, and ordinary people on the rivers and lakes can't harm him...... Mrs. Ma, the old man thinks that the answer to this matter must be found from your beggars after all. ”

Hearing this, Abbot Xuanci's face couldn't help but change, and he turned his head to look at Master Zhiguang: "Master, what do you mean?"

Zhao Ji had been observing the conversations and expressions of several people through the screen window in the compartment, and when he heard the words of this Zhiguang monk, he felt a little strange at the moment, and he couldn't help frowning and thinking.

The monk Zhiguang said to the abbot of Xuanci: "So far, there is one thing that I will no longer hide from the abbot. After the events of that year passed, the old man also revisited the old place, and at that time I wanted to climb down the cliff to pick up the bones of that man and bury them properly, and atone for some of our sins, but I didn't find the bones of that person!"

As soon as these words came out, it was not only the abbot of Xuanci in the Zen room who was shocked, but Zhao Ji's face also changed suddenly, this Zhiguang monk's words and deeds were really too strange. The two forged letters described the matter as if they had seen it firsthand, and they were all familiar with the handwriting of the parties......

While groaning, Zhao Ji beckoned Quan Guanqing to step forward and whispered to him a few times, this Zhiguang monk can't let him leave Bianliang again no matter what!

In the room, Master Xuanci's face was no longer calm, but a look of consternation, and he said in a trembling voice: "Master Zhiguang, such an important matter, why haven't you mentioned it before?

Master Zhiguang bowed slightly, but sighed: "The rest of your life after the catastrophe is the creation of that layman, and you are also uneasy Master Abbot, so the old man simply hid this matter in his heart and did not say anything to others." Our big mistake has been made, Master Abbot, you and the old gang leader Wang treated the orphan well to atone for the sins, and the old man is happy to see it come true. I have been waiting for the layman to come to the door, and I will give up my life at that time, hoping to dispel the anger in the layman's heart a little. However, I don't want this to happen today, and the old man is really sorry in his heart......"

After that, he clasped his palms together and said to Mrs. Ma: "Madam, you have to investigate the cause of the death of Deputy Gang Leader Ma, the old man has the unshirkable responsibility, and he will never stand idly by, and he will definitely help Madame to find out what the situation of the beggar gang is now? Where are the others of the Qiao gang leader? And let the Qiao gang leader come, the old man is willing to confront him face to face!"

After Mrs. Ma heard this, her expression couldn't help but stiffen, it was really out of track for the pre-arrangement, and she didn't know how to deal with it next, so she couldn't help but bow her head and groan.

Abbot Xuanci no longer has the grace and bearing of a virtuous monk at this time, his face changed, and he just muttered: "I didn't ...... dead."

Zhao Ji knew that Ma Dayuan died in someone's hands, but at this time, he heard the Zhiguang monk point the suspicion at Qiao Feng with a clear banner, and when he saw the Xuanci abbot with a deep groan, he had already determined in his heart that this Zhiguang monk must be a footnote to the conspiracy, and it should be another way of trick prepared by the other party. It's just that this makes the situation he has to face completely unfamiliar, and he is more and more unsure whether he can fully control the other party's arrangement.
