A knife in love

Chapter 1095

The short fat man didn't know that the old man had killed two Dongchang fans who had come to the ancestral hall to make trouble. Hearing what Li Qiufeng said, he hurriedly asked what was going on.The old man was eyeing someone on the land of the ancestral hall, and if he couldn't buy it by force, he had to rely on Dongchang's power to frame him as a crime and told him about taking the ancestral hall away.Finally, he said that two fans entered the ancestral hall and were killed by him with a hidden weapon. The bodies were thrown behind the shrine, and they planned to throw them into the river at night to destroy the corpses and wipe out the traces.After hearing this, the short fat man said with a smile: "These fans have left the capital and committed all kinds of evil. It's just right to kill them, so as not to harm the people. But what Feng'er said is also reasonable. It is not a trivial matter for fans to die in Chongqing Mansion." After dark, Feng'er and I will throw the body into the river, so Mr. Huang doesn't have to worry."

The old man has known Humpty Humpty for many years, and he knows that Humpty Humpty's martial arts are superb, and there are few enemies in the world.Li Qiufeng is also young and mature, and his martial arts are not weak.With the help of these two people, I don't have to worry about it.So he smiled slightly, and said in his mouth: "Then there will be brother Lao Liu."

Humpty Dumpty said: "However, this incident also reminded us. Nowadays, the officials in the court are corrupt, and the government and the people are in danger. I went to Sichuan this time, traveled through four provinces, and traveled more than [-] miles. What I saw and heard along the way was really shocking. Guanlin in Luoyang has a great reputation, and everyone in the world knows about it, and no one dares to make plans for Guanlin. However, in Shanxi and Hebei, many injustices have been seen. Most of the land around the tomb of Guan Erye was occupied by people. Perhaps in a few years, that piece of land will be taken away by wealthy households. And the Shunpinghou Temple in Changshan has long been targeted by people. In May last year, a fire broke out inexplicably and burned the temple to the ground. Not only did the government not track down the arsonists, but they took Miao Zhu and others to the Yamen and beat him half to death, and sentenced him to a crime of exile. Then he sold the temple property to a rich man in a grand manner. Therefore, three years later, If I leave Sichuan again, I don’t need to go to Shanxi and Hebei.”

Having said this, the fat man sighed, and continued: "These dirty officials and the rich and evil gentry have robbed the land to an outrageous extent. The imperial court taxes are very heavy, and from time to time they increase the payment of the Tartars and Japanese pirates. The people had no choice but to sell their fields to big households and become tenant farmers of the big households themselves. Behind those big households were officials who were in court or retired to support them. Now all the fields in the south of the Yangtze River have been divided up by officials, and the common people All of them have become tenant farmers. I see that the Yangtze River has gone north and will soon become like this. Mr. Huang, since someone is eyeing your land, I am afraid it will be very bad for you."

The old man sighed, and said: "Brother Liu, to be honest, I don't know that there are dangers everywhere right now? In the past ten years, many people have been eyeing this land. Fortunately, I have dealt with it. It's just that the people who want to seize the land are very powerful this time. I watched the people around me move away one after another, and the Dongchang fans also came to make trouble. The other party's power must be extremely powerful. Great. But Ma Gong is loyal and righteous for thousands of years, our Huang family has guarded here for more than a thousand years, if the Ma Gong Temple is lost in my hands, what will it be like to see the ancestors of the Huang family in the ground?!"

The short fat man shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "I live in seclusion in Qingcheng Mountain. I have nothing to do when I have nothing to do. I often go to various Taoist temples. The Taoist saying 'let nature take its course' is a wise saying. Now the general trend of the world has been established. With our strength, it is absolutely impossible to fight against it. It may take an earth-shaking change to clean up the filth in the world and return the people to a peaceful and prosperous life. The old man might as well abandon this place and bring Ma Gong's relics to Shushan Wouldn't it be good to find a place that is hard for outsiders to go to, and rebuild Ma Gong's ancestral hall, so as not to be angry with these dirty officials?"

The old man gave a wry smile, and said, "Of course I understand what my brother means, but the heroic spirit of Magong has been enjoying sacrifices in this ancestral hall for more than a thousand years, so how can he have the heart to let him leave this place?"

The short fat man said seriously: "The old man's words are wrong. Ma Gong's righteous deeds back then can be said to be earth-shattering and weeping ghosts and gods. His heroic spirit has already entered the heavens, and the ancestral hall here is just to publicize his righteous deeds and let everyone The people all over the world just admire it. Now that there is great chaos in front of us, it would not be beautiful if the ancestral hall was destroyed by war. It is better to tidy up Ma Gong’s relics and welcome them to Mount Shu. The mountains there are thousands of miles high and stretch for thousands of miles. Even if the world is in chaos, there will be no one. You can go to the mountains to do evil. Please think twice, old man."

The old man was silent, thought for a moment, nodded, and said: "Brother Liu is right. If that's the case, then I will tidy up Ma Gong's belongings tonight, and tomorrow I will follow you, master and apprentice, to Mount Shu stop."

Seeing that the old man agreed to his request, the short fat man breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That's the best. Without further ado, I'll hire a big boat right away, and we'll leave for Chengdu tomorrow."

When Li Qiufeng heard the short fat man said that he wanted to hire a boat, his heart moved, and he thought of the boatman on the sailboat he was on, so he said to the short fat man: "The apprentice took a boat from Jingzhou to Chongqing, and the boatman on the sailboat was honest and kind. I told my apprentice that if you travel by boat, you can ask him to see you off. Therefore, I will leave the matter of hiring a boat to my disciples."

Humpty Humpty nodded, and the three of them discussed again.After it was completely dark, the old man went to pack his things by himself.Humpty and Li Qiufeng walked to the altar, only to find that the bodies of the two sons had been frozen as hard as iron.The two each carried a dead body and jumped out of the yard.Behind the ancestral hall is an alley, just after the heavy snowfall, there is no one around.In order to leave as few footprints as possible, the two used lightness skills to fly over the walls and head straight for the river.

The Magong Ancestral Hall is located on a small hill. If you follow the winding road, you will have to walk at least a dozen miles to the river.At this time, the two of them used lightness kung fu to rush straight down the slope, so the distance was shortened several times.But after a cup of tea, we have already reached the bottom of the slope, and we can faintly hear the rumbling sound of the rushing river.

Although the sky was pitch black at this time, the ground was covered with thick white snow, and the houses and roads could be seen dimly.Humpty Humpty would come here once every three years, and he was very familiar with the road terrain of Chongqing Prefecture.At this time, he identified the direction and location, and whispered to Li Qiufeng: "This is the upper reaches of Chaotianmen Wharf, if the corpse is thrown into the river from here, I am afraid that the river will drift with the body and be found at Chaotianmen Wharf. Why don't we cross Chaotianmen, go downstream for more than ten miles, and then throw the body into the river, so no one will find the body."

Li Qiufeng nodded in agreement.The two walked south along the river, and within half a stick of incense, they had already passed the Chaotianmen Wharf.On an ordinary day, even after nightfall, the area around Chaotianmen Wharf is extremely lively.It's just that it's snowing heavily today, and the boatmen and the people shut their doors early.Therefore, the two of them walked under the huge stele archway at Chaotianmen Wharf, and there was a dead silence around them, without a single figure.The snow is flat and flawless, and when you look around, you can see a silver-white flat land in front of you.

The two walked south along the big river, and after walking for four or five miles, they had already left the boundary of Chaotianmen Wharf.On the left is the surging river, while the houses on the right gradually become scarce, and finally become a wilderness and slopes.After walking for more than ten miles, another big river merged into the big river on the right.Although I can't see clearly, I can see that the surface of the river is wide open, and although the current is turbulent, it is very stable.The short fat man said to Li Qiufeng: "The river here is wide. After throwing the corpse into it, it will not float back to the shore. And overnight, I don't know if it will be washed away by the river for hundreds of miles. Let's save the two here. It's just a joke."

Li Qiufeng naturally had no objection.The two lifted the corpses, their internal force spread everywhere, and they threw the two corpses five or six feet away.Although they were far away and couldn't see the condition of the corpse clearly, they heard two "plop plop" sounds, presumably the corpse had fallen into the river.The two stood quietly by the river, waited for a while, and seeing nothing unusual, they went back to Ma Gong's ancestral hall hand in hand.

This night, the master and the apprentice lived together in the same room, and when they talked about their respective situations in the past five years, they were deeply moved.Later, they talked about the way of martial arts, and when they talked about the rise, the two actually got up, made swords with their hands, and each tried out a set of Xuanxu sword skills.The short fat man saw that Li Qiufeng's moves were erratic, and the moves were sent and received freely, nodded, and said: "It seems that you have put a lot of effort into this set of saber techniques in the past five years, what is lacking is still when you are fighting against a martial arts master It’s just that how can you easily meet the masters in the world? How far you can practice this set of saber techniques in the future depends on your luck!”
