A knife in love

Chapter 858

Li Qiufeng hid outside the house, just now the audience had made up their minds, originally thought that these people would split up and act separately.Unexpectedly, Zhang Baixing criticized Huang Chong again, and directly accused Huang Chong of looking down on Cai Xiao.Li Qiufeng thought to himself, regardless of whether this matter is true or not, Zhang Baixing has spoken out about it.After all, Cai Xiao is a wealthy gentry, even if his ancestors had been slaves of Huang Chong's family, with his current status, he would definitely not be able to swallow this breath.Under the instigation of Ji Dingzhong and Zhang Baixing, these people are now targeting Huang Chong.If they turned their faces and started fighting, I'm afraid Huang Chong would be in serious trouble.

While he was thinking about it, he heard Cai Xiao slowly say: "Master Huang, a hundred years ago, the ancestors of our Cai family were hunted down by our enemies and were on the verge of desperation. They had no choice but to join the sect of the Huang family, and only then could they escape the catastrophe. The descendants of the Cai family have never forgotten their kindness. Therefore, for more than a hundred years, the descendants of the Cai family have been loyal to the Huang family. As long as the Huang family greets me, the descendants of the Cai family will never say anything. Efficacy. Let’s not talk about it, let’s just say that in the battle to encircle and wipe out the Xu family a few months ago, all 60 men from the first room of my Cai family in Shandong were killed. [-] years ago, under the orders of the ancestors of the Nie family, the Cai family sneaked into Shanxi, worked hard, started from a small silk and satin village, created the family business of Biyunwu, and finally became a party Noble gentry. But the ancestors of our Cai family swore an oath in Qianyin Cave, Fengmen Village. Even when they became great merchants in Shanxi, they were always respectful and courteous to the Nie, Lu, Zhao, Du, and Hua families. Especially to the Huang family. Even more obedient, you will send thousands of taels of silver every year for use against the Xu family. But Mr. Huang, my Cai family is so loyal, you want to get rid of us all for your own self-interest, so that you can clean up From your background, since then you have had a lot of success in the officialdom, and your official career has flourished, it is a bit too cruel."

After Cai Xiao finished speaking, no one in the room spoke for a while.Finally, Huang Chong said in a deep voice: "You have finally spoken your mind today, and we don't have to have any scruples anymore. Mr. Cai, more than a hundred years ago, my ancestors of the Huang family rescued more than ten members of the ancestors of the Cai family from the enemy's sword. In order to save people, my Huang family lost four lives. However, this matter was done by the ancestors of my Huang family out of chivalry. Your Cai family repays your kindness. At that time, the ancestors of your Cai family swore to repay the life-saving grace of the Huang family. That is why the ancestors of the Huang family agreed to accept the Cai family under the Huang family. Mr. Cai, what do I say? Are you right?"

Cai Xiao was speechless, unable to refute what Huang Chong said.After a while, I heard Huang Chong continue to say: "The Cai family belongs to my Huang family. The ancestors took the leaders of the Cai family to Qianyin Cave, Fengmen Village. Under the auspices of the head of the Nie family, they accepted the Cai family as Nie, Lu, The servants of the five families of Zhao, Du, and Hua. At that time, the ancestors of the Huang family understood that the Cai family was so enthusiastic about returning to the Huang family. I offended the Mongolian nobles and was framed, so I escaped from the capital. Although the world is big, there is no place to stand, so I had to join the Huang family for protection. It's just that the ancestors of the Cai family didn't know that my Huang family had a lot of money. Power, in fact, is also driven by the Nie family. When Qianyin Cave made an oath, the ancestors of the Cai family found that the Nie family was the leader of the five families. They thought that they had voted for the wrong master and regretted it. Although he belongs to the Huang family, he has been flattering the Nie family and doing everything he can. Just now Mr. Cai said that every year, he would spend thousands of taels of silver for us to use against the Xu family. This is true, but you The words were too vague, everyone heard it, and thought that your Cai family gave the money to the Huang family. In fact, since your Cai family obeyed the orders of the Nie family and came to Shanxi, after Biyunwu developed, every year It is true that they will send silver to Henan. It’s just that our Huang family only heard the number of thousands of taels of silver, but we have never seen it. Because this silver was not given to our Huang family at all, but to the Nie family. A month ago, Mr. Cai sent 5000 taels of silver notes and handed them over to Master Zhang. Mr. Cai, Master Zhang, am I right?"

Cai Xiao didn't speak, but Zhang Baixing snorted, and said with a sneer, "The money Lao Cai sent is for dealing with the Xu family. I will accept it and distribute it. Is there anything wrong?"

Huang Chongdao: "I didn't say there was anything wrong, but I was worried that Commander Hu, Zhifu Han and others would misunderstand, thinking that our Huang family swallowed the thousands of taels of silver sent by the Cai family every year. Although my Huang family They are not as rich as the Nie, Lu, and Zhao families, but they will not forget etiquette, justice, and shame for thousands of taels of silver."

Huang Chong finished speaking, but Zhang Baixing said angrily: "What do you mean by that? Do you want to say that I have swallowed the money?!"

Huang Chong sneered and said, "I didn't say that. Since the Cai family who sent the money didn't ask where the money went, how could I, who is outside the matter, dare to inquire?"

But I heard Ji Dingzhong said: "Old Huang, what you said is not right. Our Nie, Lu, Zhao, Du, and Hua families have always been friends who live and die together, advance and retreat together, prosper and prosper, and lose and lose. You What you said just now can be seen from the outside, how can you call yourself an 'outsider'?"

Huang Chong chuckled, and said: "What's the point of talking about these high-sounding scenes now? Hundreds of years ago, the ancestors of our five families were just ordinary people in remote and deserted villages. Only after obtaining gold, silver and treasures did they develop. It’s just that for hundreds of years, bloody disasters have continued, and most of the descendants have died. This is the retribution for the evil done by the ancestors of the five families..."

Before Huang Chong finished speaking, Ji Dingzhong said angrily: "Enough! Lao Huang, I think you are drunk today, talking nonsense here and criticizing your ancestors. If you think that what you say is drunk, we all will Pretend you didn't hear it. It's getting late now, let's go back and rest. Tomorrow morning, we will split up according to the plan we agreed on."

Li Qiufeng heard the sound of tables and chairs in the room, and knew that everyone was about to go out.Although he wasn't afraid of these people, he didn't want to disturb everyone and make troubles.Therefore, with a little bit of his right foot, his body immediately soared into the air, and landed lightly on the eaves.When he was just crouching on the corner of the cornice, he heard the sound of the door below him, and then someone walked into the yard.

It was already midnight at this time, the front yard of the county government office was brightly lit, and in the front, rear, left, and right alleys, people wandered past with lanterns from time to time, presumably the disciples of Shijiadao and Leiquanmen were patrolling.Only the backyard was quiet and deserted, only two small air lanterns were hung at the entrance of the back house.By the dim light, Li Qiufeng saw that Shi Nianhao, the head of the Shijiadao sect, and Yang Ziqiao, the head of the Leiquan sect, walked into the yard first.Cai Xiao, the master of Biyunwu, came out next.After the three of them arrived in the courtyard, they immediately disappeared in the darkness. They heard the sound of footsteps coming from the direction, but they walked towards the front courtyard.

Not long after the three disappeared into the darkness, another three came out, they were Han Qusi, Ji Dingzhong and Zhang Baixing, the prefect of Luoyang.When Han Qusi walked into the yard, he whispered a few words to Ji Dingzhong.Afterwards, Zhang Baixing also approached, and the three of them exchanged a few words in a low voice before leaving hand in hand.

Li Qiufeng thought to himself, these people have left, why is Hu Kun still in the house?This person suspected that Huang Chong had killed Hu Yiyue, and there was a rift between the two. Why did Ji Dingzhong and the others leave, but Hu and Huang didn't leave?

He thought over and over again, doubts arose in his heart.It's just that he knows that Ji Dingzhong and the others are extremely cunning people. Although he has already left, he has to guard against these people's killing a carbine.Therefore, although Li Qiufeng was bold, he did not dare to eavesdrop under the window again.When I was anxious, I heard footsteps, and someone came out of the house.

Li Qiufeng held his breath and listened attentively.There were only two people walking out of the house, but they stopped when they reached the stone steps in front of the house.After a while, Huang Chong said: "My nephew Hu Shi was killed, I feel deeply ashamed."

But I heard Hu Kun say: "This child is destined to have such a calamity, what has it to do with my brother? A few months ago, when the Xu family was destroyed, I knew that our family had also reached the time to see each other, but I didn't expect They were so impatient, they actually made their move so quickly. Just now, the brothers of the Nie family were staring at me, my words offended me so much, I hope my brother will not be offended."
