A knife in love

Chapter 903

Only then did Li Qiufeng understand that Fengmen Village was hidden deep in the mountains, why the government hadn't interfered.Originally, he guessed that because this place is isolated from the road outside the mountain, the old man of the Nie family was able to issue orders and domineeringly like a local emperor.Hearing what Gao Cheng said, he knew that the government offices at all levels in Henan couldn't control Fengmen Village at all.The five families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, Du, and Hua won the support of the court, but the Xu family had the wrong thigh, so naturally they were no match for the five families.

Gao Cheng saw that Li Qiufeng was silent and looked thoughtful, so he continued: "After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, although the Xu family had a few sneak attacks, they returned in vain every time. They were so beaten that they had to hide everywhere. Later, the Hua family among the five families colluded with the Xu family because of unworthy descendants, which led to the extermination of the Hua family. Only four families, Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du, remained in Fengmen Village. In order to deal with the Xu family, most of the children of the family have been scattered and hid in various places. Some have become officials, some have become landlords, and most of the people left behind in the village are members of the Nie family. Completely defeated the Xu family and got rid of the serious troubles of the confidant. But according to the down view, the Nie family is likely to attack the other three families. But the other three families have not been idle these years, and their dissatisfaction with the Nie family is increasing day by day. The head of the Lu family He is also an extremely powerful person, and he has always seen the head and tail, and he will never sit still. I am afraid that although Fengmen Village was not destroyed in the hands of the Xu family, in the end they will fight with each other, and they will die together."

When he said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "The things I'm talking about are all obtained from Fengmen Village in the past 40 years. As for the truth and falsehood, it is impossible to judge for a while. .I don’t know what is the purpose of your lord’s visit to Fengmen Village, but I have told you everything I know. If it is useful for the case you are handling, that would be the best.”

Seeing Gao Cheng's trembling appearance, Li Qiufeng was a little moved.He pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Old Mr. Gao, I am indeed not on duty in Jinyiwei. But I can ask a friend to tell the officials of Jinyiwei about your matter. Perseverance, I really admire it. I can leave Fengmen Village today, I must thank the old man for his help."

When Li Qiufeng said this, he paused for a moment, and then said: "It's just that the members of the Nie family are extremely cunning. If the old man stays in the village, he will always be killed. In my opinion, the old man should leave Fengmen Village as soon as possible. Please be safe."

Gao Cheng saw Li Qiufeng's refusal to reveal his identity, although he was slightly displeased, but he was born in Jinyiwei after all, and he knew the rules of Jinyiwei, so he didn't think it disobedient.He pondered for a while, and then said: "I really want to leave Fengmen Village, but these years, I haven't received orders from the superiors, so how dare I leave without authorization? Although our Jinyiwei is the emperor's pro-army, after all, there is a name in our name. The word 'Wei' can also be regarded as the Ming army. According to the military order, if you act without the order of the superior, you will not be forgiven immediately. What's more, Jin Yiwei has great powers, and his eyes are all over the world. If I escape to Jiangnan without authorization, even if I am not hunted down by Jin Yiwei, The rest of my life can only be spent in panic. It's better to stay here, and every day can be considered leisurely."

Li Qiufeng saw that he was unwilling to leave, but he couldn't force it, so he cupped his hands and said, "Since the old man has made up his mind, we can't force it anymore. Let's leave now, and if there is a destiny in the future, we will see you in Jianghu."

After Li Qiufeng finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the woods where he came.Gao Cheng said loudly behind him: "My lord, that road has long been abandoned, and I have to pass several cliffs. Please be careful, my lord!"

It took Li Qiufeng more than two hours to cross the mountains and ridges before he reached the bottom of the mountain.He followed the way he came and walked towards Xiuwu County without saying a word, until it was completely dark before he arrived outside the west gate of Xiuwu County.At this time the gate of the city had already been closed, Li Qiufeng was so anxious that he didn't want to wait until dawn before entering the city, so he found a place where there were few defenders, and used lightness kung fu to climb up the city wall.Taking advantage of the chatting of two or three defenders on the city wall, he quietly jumped into the inner city.

When Li Qiufeng first arrived in Xiuwu County, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the city was very lively.It's just that since a large number of people from the rivers and lakes flooded into Xiuwu County, the pedestrians on the street became less and less, and when it was dark, almost no one walked on the street.When Li Qiufeng left Fengmen Village, he already had a plan in mind.Therefore, after entering the city, he did not return to the Temple of the City God, but went straight to the north of the city.

Compared with other places in Xiuwu County, the north of the city is very lively.This is because nearly a hundred martial arts gangs are staying in an abandoned house in the north of the city.These rivers and lakes are rude and seldom literate, and they like to be lively the most.Moreover, the disciples of some gangs have very good personal relationships on weekdays, and at this time they are both in Xiuwu County, and they gather together to chat when they have nothing to do.Therefore, as soon as it was dark, fires were lit everywhere in this abandoned house in the north of the city. There were high-ranking people gathered everywhere. , very lively.

Li Qiufeng walked straight north along an alley, and there were people from all walks of life along the way.It's just that Li Qiufeng's clothes are ordinary, his appearance is ordinary, and he is young. He looks like a junior disciple of a certain gang, and a group of people in the east and west are turning a blind eye to him.

Li Qiufeng turned around a street corner, and based on his memory, he found the house where Xu Yingyang talked to him that day.

This place is separated by a street from the abandoned house occupied by the group of tycoons, and there are scattered people living here and there.When they came to Xiuwu County, most of the gangs and factions were righteous in martial arts, so they naturally obeyed the rules of the rivers and lakes and would not disturb the people.Although some of these gangs are both righteous and evil, since Huashan, Kunlun, Qingcheng, Emei and other famous decent sects have arrived, these gangs absolutely dare not do anything out of line.Therefore, even though there is only one street away, this house where the common people live is very quiet, and no one comes to harass them.

Li Qiufeng came to the door of the house and tapped on the door a few times.After a while, the door was gently opened inwards, and a person was seen standing in the yard holding a lantern.Li Qiufeng recognized that this person was Zhang Hao, so he cupped his hands and said, "I'm Li Qiufeng, come to see me if I have something to do."

Seeing that it was Li Qiufeng who came, Zhang Hao didn't show any surprise.After letting Li Qiufeng into the courtyard, he closed the courtyard door, bolted it, turned to Li Qiufeng and said, "Li Baihu, let's talk inside."

The two walked into the house.Li Qiufeng said: "I'm no longer working in Jinyiwei, I don't want to mention the word "hundred households" any more."

Zhang Hao put the lantern on the table in the center of the room, asked Li Qiufeng to sit down, lit the candles on the table, and then extinguished the lantern. Nod, you can return to Jinyiwei at any time. I'm afraid there will be more than a hundred households, even if you are promoted to a thousand households, it will not be too difficult."

Li Qiufeng shook his head: "My brother was joking. I'm just a prodigal son now, and I will never return to Jinyiwei to work as an errand."

When he said this, he looked at the empty room, and then said, "Where is Master Xu Yingyang now?"

Zhang Hao sat on the chair, and said: "Master Xu is not in the city, if Li Baihu... If Mr. Li has anything, you can tell me, and I will pass it on to Master Xu."

Li Qiufeng knew that Xu Yingyang had to lead Jinyiwei out of Xiuwu County in order to avoid disaster.He left Zhang Hao in the city just to get in touch with himself.It's just that this matter is too urgent after all, and it is necessary to have an interview with Xu Yingyang.So he pondered for a while, and then said: "I have something important to ask to see Mr. Xu, I would like to trouble you to pass this matter on to Mr. Xu, and ask him to arrange the time and place to meet."

Zhang Hao nodded, and said: "Mr. Li, don't worry, I will arrange this right away."

When he said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "It's just that Mr. Xu lives outside the city now, and I'm going to see him next time, but I can't see him just because I want to. Please rest assured, Mr. Li, and stay here After contacting Lord Xu, I will call Mr. Li back."

Li Qiufeng nodded, stood up and said, "In this case, I will take my leave first. After I have news from here, I will just go to the wing room in the backyard of the Town God's Temple and let me know."

Zhang Hao didn't hold back either, and sent Li Qiufeng outside the door.Li Qiufeng bowed his hands to say goodbye, and after walking two steps, he suddenly remembered something, turned around hastily, but saw that Zhang Hao hadn't closed the door, but was standing inside the door with a lantern in his hand, staring at himself, with a strange expression on his face.Just seeing Li Qiufeng turn around, the strange expression flashed away.
