A knife in love

Chapter 846

After Monk Xuanji saw that everyone at the same table was full of wine and food, he also huddled together and talked in a low voice, not paying attention to the two of them.So he lowered his voice and said: "It's just that our enemies and friends are unknown at the moment. Among the gang leaders present, except for the Huashan faction and the Kunlun faction, it seems that no other decent sects in the martial arts were present. If the murderer who overthrew Wuji Temple is really The Devil's Cult, although there are 2000 or [-] people who are present today, but most of them are second- and third-rate gangs, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight against the Devil's Cult."

Li Qiufeng said: "To tell the truth, Master, in fact, the younger generation has always doubted whether this matter was really done by the Demon Cult. Back then, all the leaders of the Demon Cult died in Yuntai Mountain, and the people who stayed in the various places were mediocre and mediocre. However, within a few years, they were wiped out successively by the major sects of the martial arts, the Yuan army, and the Yi army. Perhaps a small number of demon sect members escaped, but these people are not outstanding people. Thank God, how dare they take revenge? For more than a hundred years, the martial arts sects have not relaxed their vigilance against the Demon Sect, and Yuntai Mountain is so tightly guarded, which is one of the evidences. All martial arts sects will be aware of it, how could Jin Yiwei and Dongchang, who have their eyes all over the world, not know? So the younger generation thinks that this matter is probably not done by the descendants of the Demon Sect."

When he said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "Perhaps there is a descendant of the Demon Cult who is extremely skilled in martial arts, but with the knowledge of this senior, I'm afraid he doesn't want to compete with other martial arts sects." Be an enemy, otherwise there would have been a bloodbath in the rivers and lakes."

Monk Xuanji was stunned, and said, "Which one is this senior that Benefactor Li is talking about?"

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "This is just the junior's guess, and there is no evidence. After the matter here is over, the junior really wants to investigate and see where this senior came from."

Monk Xuanji heard that Li Qiufeng respected this man, and he was very curious. He originally wanted to find out which famous hero this senior was.It's just that looking at Li Qiufeng's appearance, even if he asks, he won't say anything, so he has to give up.

At this moment, Yu Fan came out from the main hall.Before the banquet, he invited Li Qiufeng to sit at the same table with him, but Li Qiufeng refused.After Hu Kun, Han Qusi, Huang Chong and others were seated, Yu Fan immediately entered the main hall and never showed up again.At this time, the banquet was about to end, but he came out in a hurry, Li Qiufeng felt a little suspicious.

Yu Fan walked up to Huang Chong, bent down and whispered a few words to him.Huang Chong nodded, and whispered a few words with Han Qusi.Han Qusi glanced at Yu Fan, nodded, but did not speak.Yu Fan bowed his hands to the two of them, then walked to the main table, scanned the entire courtyard, and said loudly: "Heroes, I have a few words to say, please listen carefully."

At this time, Qunhao had already had enough food and wine, and was chatting and laughing loudly. Hearing Yu Fan's words, the courtyard immediately fell silent.Yu Fan said loudly: "After the banquet tonight, after the heroes return to the next place, you must restrain your disciples and refrain from disturbing and causing trouble in Xiuwu County. Right now, the officials from the Henan Governor's Yamen are about to arrive, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice in the capital will also send People came to our Xiuwu County to investigate the case. Han Zhifu and Huang Zhixian said that you are all heroes. Now that you are in Xiuwu County, you are the strong support of our Xiuwu County. Please help me a lot these days. If you find out If there is any suspicious person, you can take it first and send it to the Yamen. If the person you get is related to the Yuntai Mountain case, the Yamen will reward you!"

Before Yu Fan finished speaking, the group of lords began to discuss in a low voice, only a buzzing sound could be heard in the yard.Excitement appeared on the faces of the people in the rivers and lakes who were at the same table with Li Qiufeng and Monk Xuanji.A thin and withered old man said: "We came to Yuntai Mountain originally to answer the post and to help Wuji Temple. It's just that the Wuji Temple has been burned to a piece of white ground right now, so it's a waste of time for us. But if we can Catch the culprit and get a reward, and our hard work will not be in vain."

The rest of the rivers and lakes also echoed their words.Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "Han Qusi and Huang Chong have a good plan. They want to use these people in the world to temporarily protect the safety of Wu County. The case in Yuntai Mountain is too cruel, and they can only be arrested based on the tolerance of the Xiuwu County Yamen. , absolutely can't deal with these murderers. And the gangsters came to help, although there are not many first-class masters among them, but the gangsters are powerful and powerful. These gangsters stay in Xiuwu County, and the gangsters dare not easily Let's do it. As long as the Henan Governor's Yamen and officials from the Ministry of Criminal Justice arrive, the Xiuwu County Yamen and the Luoyang Prefect Yamen will no longer have to be responsible for the Yuntai Mountain incident. At that time, all the heroes will be dismissed."

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng admired Han Qusi and Huang Chong.As expected of veterans in the officialdom, these two people actually came up with such a method, which allowed them to stay out of the matter and control the situation in their hands.This kind of scheming requires experience in officialdom, and ordinary people will definitely not be able to think of such a way.

At this time, eight tolerance officers came out from the main hall, each holding a square plate in their hands, which was piled up high and covered with a red cloth, and it was unknown what was placed underneath.The eight tolerances walked behind Yu Fan, and immediately separated to the left and right, placing the tray in their hands in front of their chests.But I heard Yu Fan say: "The prefect of Han and the prefect of Huang knew that the heroes came in a hurry, and they didn't bring a lot of things with them, so they specially prepared some money, please accept it. Each gang will offer ten taels of silver, and leave it to Prepare some important things, everyone."

Before Yu Fan could finish his sentence, the group of heroes burst into cheers.Although ten taels of silver is not much, it is enough to pay for meals for four or five days.Some impoverished sect leaders even breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to themselves that this trip was not in vain at last, if they spend more money, not only will they not lose money this time, but they will even make a profit.

After Yu Fan finished speaking, with a wave of his right hand, eight tolerances took the red cloth off the tray.But there are tall silver ingots stacked on the tray.When Qunhao saw the silver glowing faintly under the light of the torch, all of them showed greedy eyes.Eight tolerances held the trays, and the tables were turned around one by one, and the leaders of each gang were asked to take a piece of silver for themselves.

Li Qiufeng saw all the heroes smiling happily, and thought to himself, these ten taels of silver are not easy to get.If the murderer was on the sidelines and attacked secretly, I am afraid that the fate of the heroes would not be any better than that of Wuji Temple, Xiaoyao Temple and Kongming Temple.

A tolerance carried the tray to the table where Li Qiufeng and others were sitting, and there were only a dozen ingots of silver left in the tray.The six or seven gang leaders at the same table scrambled to take a piece of silver each, their eyes still fixed on the remaining few pieces of silver in the tray.When the tolerance brought the tray to Monk Xuanji, Monk Xuanji put his hands together and said: "The poor monk is a monk, so I dare not accept this money, please take it back."

The Tolerance was a little surprised, and was about to speak, but seeing Monk Xuanji's resolute expression, he swallowed back the words.The thin and withered old man sitting opposite Monk Xuanji smiled and said: "Monk, this is a reward from the government, how can we not take it? If the monk doesn't want it, you might as well give it to us. It can be considered that the monk is merciful and has done a good job. Good thing."

The rest of the people also made jokes one after another. Monk Xuanji's face sank like water, his hands were clasped together, and he didn't speak.Li Qiufeng took a piece of silver and glanced at those people.These people didn't have any malicious intentions, they were just making fun of Monk Xuanji.After being glared at by Li Qiufeng, he knew he was wrong, so he could only turn his head away with a smirk.

There was a lot of commotion in the courtyard, and the leaders of the various gangs each received ten taels of silver, and they were very excited.Yu Fan said to Qunhao: "Since all the heroes have received the money, today's banquet is over. After you return to your residence, you must restrain the disciples of the disciples and refrain from causing trouble in the city. Otherwise, not only the yamen will send people to suppress them, but all the gangs will also be suppressed." The hero has to take action to stop it, and the Yamen will naturally reward him afterwards."

Hearing what Yu Fan said, Qunhao's heart trembled.Although these people were happy after receiving the ten taels of silver, but as the leaders of the gang, all of them were quite scheming people, otherwise they would not be able to be the leader and head of the gang.Yu Fan's words clearly implied provocation, how could Qunhao not hear it?Some people thought to themselves that the yamen clearly had bad intentions, and they were afraid that the ten taels of silver would not be so easy to get.
