A knife in love

Chapter 825

Bayuyan shook his head and said, "This villain doesn't know."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wan Congyun said with a sneer: "Boss Ba's apprentices are all local rats who walk around the streets. If they steal chickens and dogs, dig holes and climb over walls, they may have some skills. If you want to do big things, just I’m afraid I’m a little powerless.”

Bayuyan was complacent when he heard Li Qiufeng praise him.Unexpectedly, Wan Congyun made a sarcasm, and was furious immediately. He slapped the table with his right hand and said, "Second Wan, what ability do you have to dare to speak like that in front of Commander Li? If you really have the ability, you might as well tell me Look, what is the purpose of the Hu family's father and son coming to our Xiuwu County?"

Bayuyan originally thought that Wan Congyun's words were ridiculing him, but he was just jealous of Li Qiufeng's praise of himself, so he asked this question.He only said that Hu Kun is the commander of Ruyang Guard, he has a high position and authority, so he suddenly came to Xiuwu County this time, so he naturally has important matters to attend to.Although Wan Congyun is well-known in Xiuwu County, in terms of status, he is just a martial artist who protects the courtyard of Liu Dahu's family in Xiuwu County. How can he know why Hu Kun came to Xiuwu County?

Unexpectedly, Wan Congyun sneered and said, "Of course I know about this."

After he finished speaking, he bowed his hands to Li Qiufeng, and continued: "This Mr. Hu and our Mr. Huang from Xiuwu County have a long history of friendship. I heard that the two were officials in the same year. As for the details, no one knows. Mr. Hu came to Xiuwu County this time to do Huangzhi County a big favor."

When Wan Congyun said this, he deliberately kept silent.This is what he learned from storytellers when he was listening to books in teahouses.When narrating something, whenever it comes to a critical point, either keep silent or change the subject, so that the listener can't help asking questions, so as to show the speaker's ability.

It's just that Li Qiufeng decided to wait and see what happened, and didn't ask the bottom line.But Bayuyan and Mei Dali hoped that Wan Congyun would be unlucky, so naturally they would not play side drums for him.So Wan Congyun deliberately kept silent, but Li Qiufeng, Bayuyan, and Mei Dali were not asked, and Wan Congyun became embarrassed.After a while, he coughed twice, and could only continue to say: "Commander Li, there was a big case in Xiuwu County a few days ago, you already know about it?"

Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice: "The big case you are talking about is the case of Yuntai Mountain's Wuji Temple, Xiaoyao Temple, and Kongming Temple being burned down?"

Wan Congyun slapped his thigh and said, "Commander Li is really good, and he guessed right. That day we met Commander Li unexpectedly at the foot of Yuntai Mountain. At that time, Huang Zhixian summoned us to rush to Yuntai Mountain. , to assist the yamen in handling the case of Wuji Temple being burned down. It is said that this case is so popular that even the Henan governor’s yamen can’t suppress it. The criminal department and Jinyiwei in the capital knew about this case and sent officials to our Xiuwu County Come to investigate the case. Commander Li, say something to offend the Shangguan. Huangzhi County is the biggest official in our Xiuwu County, but in the eyes of Luoyang Zhifu Yamen and Henan Governor Yamen, he is nothing. For a big case, there is no clue at the moment, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Jinyiwei sent people to sit down and solve the case within a time limit. Commander Li might as well think about it, if the case cannot be solved within the time limit, who will be the unlucky one?"

Li Qiufeng pretended not to know, and said, "I don't know about this either."

Wan Congyun felt complacent, and said in his mouth: "Naturally, the governor's yamen and the magistrate's street gate are unwilling to carry this big pot, so in the end, Huangzhi County has to take the top of the pot. The villain heard from friends in the yamen that the past few days have been yellow. The magistrate didn't think about food and drink, and stayed up all night because he was helpless. He had no choice but to write a letter to his old friend Commander Hu, asking him to help investigate the case. After receiving the letter from Huang Zhixian, Commander Hu immediately He led people to Xiuwu County."

Li Qiufeng frowned, and said in his mouth: "Master Hu is a military commander. If you talk about charging in the field, you may be able to show your skills. But how can he help these major murders?"

Seeing that Li Qiufeng was moved by what he said, Wan Congyun was very happy, and said, "There are some things that Commander Li doesn't even know. Famous Taoist nuns, known as the Twelve Immortals of Wuji Temple, all of them are strong in martial arts. Although Xiaoyao Temple and Kongming Temple are not as famous as Wuji Temple in the Jianghu, they are definitely not unknown people. These two temples and one temple were set on fire. It became a white ground, and none of the Taoist priests and monks in the Taoist temples and temples escaped, and they were all buried in the sea of ​​flames. These hundreds of people in the martial arts were burned to death, which is a rare event in the martial arts in recent years. Eight out of ten Ninthly, it was at the hands of people in the world. As a general, Mr. Hu has made friends with many people in the world. Master Huang invited him here because he wanted to solve the case as soon as possible by relying on the friendship between Mr. Hu and the people in the world. Otherwise, Mr. Huang Not only the official position will not be guaranteed, but whether the head can be kept, I am afraid it is also unknown."

Having said this, Wan Congyun looked around for a while, then lowered his voice and said to Li Qiufeng: "Commander Li, the villain has one more thing to tell you. Last night, Mr. Hu led dozens of Qingcheng faction The master quietly entered the city to thoroughly investigate the big case that happened in Yuntai Mountain."

Li Qiufeng had heard that what Wan Congyun said was quite reasonable, but he had some confidence in his words.It's just that when he heard him say the last paragraph, he immediately knew that Wan Congyun was just hearsay, and with his own guesses, he actually said the matter clearly and logically, and he was angry and funny.He watched from the sidelines from the beginning to the end of what happened last night, and naturally knew that the Qingcheng faction was definitely not the Hu family's father and son who invited them to help investigate the case.As for the other things Wan Congyun said, I'm afraid most of them are also unreliable.

Wan Congyun saw that Li Qiufeng didn't speak, but frowned, as if thinking.He only said that Li Qiufeng was moved by his words, and his heart became more and more proud, and he was about to brag a few more words, when Li Qiufeng asked: "How do you know about this?"

Wan Congyun's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but glance at Li Qiufeng.But he saw Li Qiufeng's gaze like a knife, staring at himself.Although Wan Congyun is a small person in the market, he knows how to read his face and act according to the wind.Seeing Li Qiufeng's appearance, he knew that he was already suspicious.If he was still like this, talking about the future in a cloud of mist, there must be more and more loopholes in his words.This man surnamed Li is extremely shrewd, if he finds out that he is lying, he is afraid that it will be bad for him.Therefore, he put away his bragging thoughts and said to Li Qiufeng: "To be honest, after the Hu family and his son entered the city, Huanghe County invited them to live in the old house of Liu Dahu's family. That old house is a three-story building. There are sixty or seventy rooms in the courtyard, which is enough for the Hu family and the people who are with them. The villain is the martial artist of Liu Dahu's family. These things are said by the servants who served the Hu family and his son in the old house. .”

It was only then that Li Qiufeng realized that Wan Congyun's words were not entirely groundless.It's just that what he said is true or false, and it's impossible to judge for a while.

Hearing what Wan Congyun said, Bayuyan immediately laughed aloud, and said with a sneer, "Master Wan, your news is not very fair. My apprentice is a man in the market, but it's better than being sold to someone else." The servants of the Liu family you heard about. Haha, haha."

Seeing Bayuyan's complacent look, Wan Congyun was annoyed.If Li Qiufeng hadn't been by his side, Wan Congyun would have punched Bayuyan long ago.It's just that he was afraid of being rude in front of Li Qiufeng, so he resisted the attack.

Seeing Wan Congyun and Bayuyan glaring at each other, Mei Dali stopped talking for a while, and hurriedly took the opportunity to say to Li Qiufeng, "Commander Li knows that after the villain left the Town God's Temple yesterday, he brought a group of friends with him Inquire about the news inside and outside the city. Don’t tell me, many famous people have really come to Xiuwu County in the past few days. Luoyang Shijiadao and Leiquanmen also arrived in Xiuwu County yesterday, but these two sects They didn't seem to be able to deal with it. When they entered the city from the south gate, they happened to bump into one place, and almost started a fight. A group of bodyguards from the Nantong Security Bureau also entered the city. All of these people's whereabouts were strange. What are we doing in Xiuwu County?"

When Li Qiufeng heard Mei Dali say that Shijiadao and Leiquanmen had also arrived in Xiuwu County, he couldn't help being horrified.That day outside Luoyang City, he saw the vendetta between these two sects with his own eyes, and felt that many things were unimaginable.Unexpectedly, these two sects came to Xiuwu County at the same time. Could it be that the two factions are not satisfied with only confronting each other in Luoyang, and they want to move the battlefield to Xiuwu County?

Mei Dali saw that Li Qiufeng was silent, but his face was cloudy, obviously thinking about what he said.Satisfied, he glanced at Wan Congyun and Bayuyan, and then said: "In addition to the Shijiadao, Leiquanmen, and Nantong Escort, there are many more suspicious people in the city. The villain has arranged an eyeliner." , I am looking around, and I think there will be more news today. The Commander only needs to sit in the Town God Temple, and we will definitely find out the origin and purpose of these guys, and then report to the Lord."

Li Qiufeng saw that these three people were able to do things well, so he smiled slightly and said: "The three of you are indeed worthy of being influential figures in Xiuwu County. In half a day, you have found so much information, which is really beyond Li's expectation. Li then went to the county government office and informed the county magistrate and magistrate of the news that the three inquired about. After the three returned, they would draw up the names of those who had made meritorious deeds, and when the time came, they would be rewarded for their meritorious deeds. Don't miss the names of the three. Apprentices and friends are good."

When Wan Congyun and the other three heard what Li Qiufeng said, they were overjoyed immediately, and while flattering Li Qiufeng, they boasted of their own achievements intentionally or unintentionally.It's just that later, in order to win credit, the three of them first sneered at each other, then turned to glaring at each other, and finally rolled up their sleeves, and wanted to punch each other.If it wasn't for Li Qiufeng's persuasion, the three of them might have already become a ball.

After Wan Congyun and the other three left, Li Qiufeng tidied up and walked towards the county government office.He didn't intend to ask for credit for Wan Congyun and others, but he just wanted to inquire in the county government to see how much of what Wan Congyun said was true and how much was false.
