Fang Liuhe listened to Liu Baiye's words, and was taken aback, it turned out that the kidnapping of the child was so complicated, involving the safety of the entire martial arts, if the Jingshan faction, the Yuanshan faction and the Yashan faction fought, they would definitely be unable to deal with the police division, and the strength of the police division would continue to compete, and at that time, it was likely that the one who dominated the rivers and lakes would be Shen Deyi, the eunuch who was the sinister and vicious, and did all kinds of evil, and the police division would be able to control the entire martial arts.

Fang Liuhe thought of this, and said: "Thank you, Brother Liu, you have done a great favor, so that the martial arts sects have avoided a strict conflict caused by the treacherous scheme, you have done a great thing to maintain the justice of the martial arts, at the same time, you have also found the real murderer who kidnapped the four children for the Jingshan faction, our Liuhe has always been a bastard who violates the children, will not let go, Huang Shengjie has become an enemy of the Jingshan faction since then, if you don't kill him, our Liuhe will be in vain on the rivers and lakes!"

"Brother Fang understands, the police department just wants to mess up the martial arts, want to take advantage of the chaos and robbery, so that the fishermen can profit, they go up the mountain to kidnap the child, that is, to lure you into the bait, you must not mistake it for Lu Zhongkun to do it, there is a wrong, there is a debtor, it is Huang Shengjie who committed the crime, he has to be punished, but, I Jianyi, don't rush to find Huang Shengjie to settle accounts, he has done a lot of bad things, he will definitely be punished, the wicked have their own evil retribution, Shen Deyi and Huang Shengjie will not have a good end, it is better to wait for the current situation, and wait for the appropriate opportunity to start. Liu Baiye said.

"Brother Liu is reasonable, I want to see that the people of the police department, especially Huang Shengjie, are plotting against various sects in the rivers and lakes, and they are enemies of all factions at the same time. Someone will definitely stand up and clean them up, and when the opportunity arises, I will actively join in and kill him!" Fang Liuhe said.

"Okay, my brother should do this, since Shen Deyi, Huang Shengjie and others have offended all factions in the rivers and lakes, you can unite some sects and fight with the police, so that you have a better chance of winning, you can think so." The old brother was relieved. It's time for me to take my leave, take care!" Liu Baiye said.

"I'm in such a hurry to go, we haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't you stay and have a good talk with my little brother. How many glasses of wine do you drink together?" Fang Liuhe said.

"I have urgent matters to attend to. It's time to go down. I'll see you later, my brother will miss you!" Liu Baiye said.

Fang Liuhe asked the disciples who followed him to take one hundred and fifty taels of silver and give it to Liu Baiye, saying, "Big brother is looking around for news. It must cost a lot of silver, you take away this silver, although the silver is not much, but it shows the gratitude of the younger brother, take care!"

"Thank you, brother, for your sincerity, say goodbye!" Liu Baiye took the silver and thought: "Master Fang is really a cheerful person, unlike Zhou Bagua, who also cut the price and only paid one hundred and twenty taels, compared with Fang Liuhe, Zhou Bagua is a miser." Liu Baiye happily left Bauhinia Mountain, he still had one place to go, and he wanted to exchange the news for a few hundred taels of silver.

The Wang's mansion, located near the Huaiqiao Bridge in the western section of the Qinhuai River in Nanjing, has been relatively calm recently, and nothing special has happened, and the police department is busy dealing with the various factions in the rivers and lakes, and at present, the contradictions between the various deputy commanders and envoys within them have intensified somewhat, and they have no time to take care of the Wang and Xie families for the time being, and there is no new action to investigate the secret books for the time being; due to misunderstandings, some frictions and fights among the various factions in the rivers and lakes, they have not sent people to the palace and other places to investigate the secret books for the time being, and there are no uninvited guests in the palace to disturb them for the time being.

Wang Liyan, Xie Jingxi, Lin Hexuan and others in the luxurious Wang family's mansion, sometimes there will be some visiting yamen officials, and sometimes they will go out of the palace to meet some martial arts knights, they follow the original strategic plan, and actively prepare for the possible battle of the rivers and lakes, all of which are relatively smooth.

In addition to cooperating with Xie Jingxi to plan and collect news, Lin Hexuan also taught two apprentices, Yang Feiyang learned from him "Flying Feather Flying Crane Boxing", made rapid progress, and has learned almost eighty percent of the skills, Lin Hexuan likes this apprentice more and more, he not only learns martial arts very quickly, but also makes rapid progress in learning traditional Chinese medicine, and has initially mastered the meridian theory, for Yang Feiyang's progress, Lin Hexuan is sincerely happy.

Xie Jingxi's son Xie Wende learned Confucian classics from Lin Hexuan, he recently has a deeper and deeper understanding of Zhu Xi's "Four Books and Five Classics", and his grasp of "science" has become more and more transparent.

Today, Wang Liyan is not in the palace, he went to visit a high-ranking official, Xie Jingxi and Lin Hexuan were drinking tea and talking about things in the reception room of the "Jingyi Pavilion" in the northeast corner of the palace, at this time, Wang Jinyu, the housekeeper of the palace, came to report, saying that there was an old man outside the gate who asked to see Wang and Xie.

Xie Jingxi asked, "Steward Wang, what kind of person is here? Have you ever been to the palace before?"

Wang Jinyu replied: "I haven't seen the little one, the old man claims to be surnamed Liu, he is in good spirits, and he doesn't look like an ordinary person. ”

"Please let him in!" Mr. Xie said.

After a while, Wang Jinyu led a neatly dressed old man in, Xie Jingxi took a closer look, this old man did not look like an official, nor did he look like a martial arts knight, a bit like a businessman, but a bit like a literati, although Xie Jingxi had a wide range of knowledge, but he couldn't guess what he did for a while.

Xie Jingxi said politely: "Old gentleman, please take a seat!"

The old man said, "Thank you! You are Lord Xie, right? The old man took the liberty to come into the palace to visit Lord Wang and Lord Xie, is Lord Wang not there? The old man and Lord Wang met many years ago, and Lord Wang inquired about some news from the old man, and the two of us had a very happy conversation that time, and we can be regarded as friends!"

Lin Hexuan looked at the old man carefully, he heard that Wang Liyan had asked the old man for news, and suddenly thought: "With Lord Wang's way in the officialdom and prestige in the rivers and lakes, the sources of information are very extensive, he actually wants to ask this old man for news, this old man is extraordinary, and this old man's surname is Liu, and there is a rumor in the rivers and lakes that there is a 'news king' nicknamed 'everything knows' called Liu Baiye, is this old man him?"

Lin Hexuan thought of this and asked the old man: "If my guess is correct, you are the 'know-it-all' Mr. Liu Baiye, right?"

"Haha, guess right, the old man is Liu Baiye, I have seen Lord Wang before, but unfortunately I haven't seen Lord Xie and you, the old man sees that you have a childish face, and your spirit is flying, I have heard people on the rivers and lakes say before, there is an old Chinese medicine doctor Mr. Lin who is skilled next to Lord Xie, I guess, you are, right?" Liu Baiye said.

"Haha, the two of you can be said to be really smart, you haven't met, you can guess each other, it seems that you meet fate, Mr. Liu, I've heard the name for a long time, please sit down! Master Wang went out of the house for something, and I couldn't welcome Mr. Liu, so I had to welcome you on my behalf!" Xie Jingxi said.

"Lord Xie doesn't have to be polite, the old man knows that you and Master Wang have a very close relationship, and seeing you is the same as seeing Lord Wang, and besides, I am also fortunate to meet this Mr. Lin, you two are very familiar with things on the rivers and lakes, if I am not mistaken, even Lord Wang is here, he will also let the two of you talk together, right?" Liu Baiye said.

"Mr. Liu really 'knows everything', he knows both Lord Wang and us very well, so it's good, like a good friend who has met many times, and can have more common language, Mr. Liu must have advice when he comes to the palace this time, please give me more advice!" Xie Jingxi said.

"Lord Xie said this, it is a pain in the old man, in front of you and Mr. Lin, how dare the old man talk about 'teaching', you are both great wise men, the old man is just a person who collects news, how dare you get an axe in front of the two, it's just that the old man knows that Lord Wang, Lord Xie and Mr. Lin have been maintaining the justice of martial arts, and they are awe-inspiring, and when the old man hears some news, he naturally has to report to Lord Wang, Lord Xie and Mr. Lin, I hope that the news I brought will also be beneficial to maintaining the justice of the martial arts!" Liu Baiye said modestly.

"Mr. Liu is a well-known 'news king', your news is the most well-informed, it is great to be able to tell us in time, I thank you on behalf of Lord Wang!" Xie Jingxi said.

"Presumably, Lord Xie and Mr. Lin must know a lot about the recent events in the rivers and lakes, and the old man will not go into details, only the most important aspects, first, the fight between Lu Zhongkun and the Yuanshan faction was provoked by the 'discord plan' of the people of the police department, and the deputy commander of the police department made Huang Shengjie and a subordinate play Cheng Murong Yun and Ling Fenglei, and made trouble in the gambling house of the Yashan faction, which angered Lu Zhongkun, so that Lu Zhongkun kidnapped Qian Jinbao in anger, and later Huang Shengjie sent someone to pretend to be Qian Jinbao's cousin and led Lu Zhongkun to attack. Mingli Pavilion', Huang Shengjie or his subordinates also insidiously sneaked to the 'Mingli Pavilion', and when Lu Zhongkun and Jia Tianming's brother-in-law Lin Mingyi were fighting, they injured Lin Mingyi with a hidden weapon, so that Lin Mingyi could not guard against Lu Zhongkun's fierce attack, causing Lu Zhongkun to kill Lin Mingyi, Huang Shengjie and others wanted to use this to trigger a big battle between the Yashan faction and the Yuanshan faction, and then, Huang Shengjie and his subordinates sneaked to Bauhinia Mountain, kidnapped the four children that Fang Liuhe liked, and tied them to ' Xingfang Pavilion', creating the illusion that Lu Zhongkun kidnapped the child, and wanted to trigger a fight between the Jingshan faction and the Yashan faction. They tried to disturb the rivers and lakes and cause fierce conflicts between various factions in the rivers and lakes, so as to reap the benefits of the fishermen, which is a very vicious conspiracy, so the old man must tell you all these things in order to take countermeasures. Liu Baiye knew that the Wang and Xie families were also very well-informed, so he didn't need to go into detail, just talk about the main points.

"Mr. Liu is worthy of being the 'King of News, he knows so well, with Mr. Liu's news, all factions in the martial arts will be able to expose the conspiracy of Shen Deyi and Huang Shengjie, they will be able to avoid their poisonous schemes, and they will be able to prepare preventive measures in time, this is so useful, Mr. Liu is very remarkable, we are very grateful to you for bringing the news!" Xie Jingxi said. (To be continued......)
