A knife in love

Chapter 976

That day in Fengmen Village, Li Qiufeng hid under the bed of Mrs. Nie's inner room and eavesdropped on the conversations of the members of the Nie family. Only then did he gain insight into the grievances and grievances between the Nie, Lu, Zhao, Du families and the Xu family.At that time, he only knew that he hid it cleverly, and the members of the Nie family did not notice that there was someone in the inner room.Later, when he escaped from Fengmen Village, thinking about the matter carefully, he found something strange in it.

According to old master Nie, Nie Dingnan and others, the six families fled to Fengmen Village in the late Tang Dynasty, nearly a thousand years ago.Over the years, the Xu family has repeatedly tried to capture Fengmen Village and wipe out the five families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, Du, and Hua, but every time they fail.It can be seen that under the management of these five families for nearly a thousand years, Fengmen Village has become impenetrable.But he escaped without any risk. Even with the help of Jin Yiwei's undercover Gao Cheng, it is absolutely impossible to escape from Fengmen Village so easily.

At that time, Li Qiufeng already felt that the matter would not be so simple. After careful deduction, he realized Ji Dingzhong's plan to use Jin Yiwei to deal with the Japanese pirates. A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and then he realized that Mrs. Nie and others had already listed him Otherwise, he would never have sent two cooks who didn't understand martial arts to the stone house to deliver meals to him.Presumably, after he arrived at Fengmen Village, Nie Dingnan saw his flaws. After discussing with Mrs. Nie, members of the Nie family set up a trap to let him escape from the stone house on purpose.After he arrived at Mrs. Nie's inner room, Mrs. Nie, Nie Dingnan and others performed a play in the outer room, intentionally revealing the intentions of the Japanese pirates. The purpose was to use Li Qiufeng's mouth to inform the head of Jinyiwei about this matter. , Inducing Jin Yiwei to fight with the Japanese pirates, thus eliminating the serious troubles of the Nie family.

After trying to understand the key points of this matter, Li Qiufeng realized that Mrs. Nie's scheming was far superior to that of Ji Dingzhong.This old guy sat firmly in Fengmen Village, driving the four families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du, and with the help of Japanese pirates, he wiped out his feuding Xu family.Moreover, when he was planning to destroy the Xu family, he had already thought of using Japanese pirates to get rid of the Lu, Zhao, and Du families after the Xu family was destroyed.Then use Jin Yiwei and other imperial soldiers to fight against Japanese pirates.In this way, the Nie family has no hidden worries and can leave Fengmen Village in a grand manner.With the ability of the Nie family's children, not only can they get rich in the officialdom, but they can also buy a lot of land in various places and make a fortune.At that time, the Nie family will not only carry forward, but also have even greater ambitions.

It really makes people shudder to think that Mrs. Nie is so smart and has planned such a powerful strategy.Although Li Qiufeng didn't know how good this old guy was in martial arts, he was even more difficult to deal with than Liu Shengzongyan.Li Qiufeng had already regarded this person as his lifelong enemy in his heart, so when he saw Mrs. Nie arrived, he hurriedly hid in the house, thinking hard about a good plan.

I could only hear the sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and it seemed that many people came in.After a while, I heard Zhang Baixing say: "It is said that Jin Yiwei lived in the temple outside, what's going on?"

But I heard Miao Zhu say: "The villain is also wondering about this. Today, the magistrate visited our Town God's Temple and heard that he is friends with Uncle Li who lives in the backyard. The two had a good talk. When the magistrate leaves Afterwards, rumors spread everywhere, and I don’t know who made the rumors.”

Miao Zhu finished speaking, but Zhang Baixing said, "Master Han is here? How dare he not tell me about this?!"

Hearing what Zhang Baixing said, Li Qiufeng's heart moved. He thought to himself that Han Qusi was from the Lu family. orders.About Jin Yiwei hiding in Chenghuang Temple, it stands to reason that Han Qusi should inform Ji Dingzhong.If Ji Dingzhong knew about it, Zhang Baixing would naturally know about it too.But Zhang Baixing didn't know about it. Could it be that Han Qusi had other plans?

When Li Qiufeng was thinking, he only heard an old voice say: "Master Zhang, if your words are spread, I'm afraid you will offend the prefect of Han. As the saying goes, too many words will lead to mistakes, so Master Zhang should be careful with his words. "

Li Qiufeng heard that it was Mrs. Nie who was speaking, and thought to himself, because Zhang Baixing is a child of the Nie family, he has always been arrogant, and even Han Qusi is not in his eyes.He heard that Han Qusi had been to the Town God's Temple, but he didn't tell himself and Ji Dingzhong about it, and he was annoyed, so he said nothing.If this word got out, those who heard it would naturally be puzzled, wondering why Zhang Baixing, a small magistrate, would blame Han Qusi, the dignified prefect of Luoyang.Moreover, the people who live in the backyard of the Town God's Temple are all leaders of the four families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du.I'm afraid Zhang Baixing's words will soon reach Han Qusi's ears.If Han Qusi knew about this, he would naturally feel dirty towards the Nie family.Old Mrs. Nie is so shrewd, he was afraid that everyone in the Lu family would be dissatisfied, so he reminded him.With his ability, he actually tolerated Zhang Baixing's nonsense.Thinking about it, if Zhang Baixing wasn't a child of the Nie family, he might have been eliminated by the old lady Nie long ago.

After Mrs. Nie finished speaking, no one spoke for a while.In the end, I only heard Zhang Baixing say: "You take all the distinguished guests to their respective rooms to rest, and you must serve them well. If there is any negligence, hmph, I will look after you when the time comes."

Miao Zhu repeatedly agreed.After a while, only the sound of chaotic footsteps could be heard from all over the backyard, presumably Miao Zhu was taking everyone to various rooms to live in.Li Qiufeng heard that someone lived in the room on his left, and he thought to himself, with so many people living in, it would be difficult for him to act freely.What's more, there is an old man Nie in the yard who is very wise and scheming. If he is not careful, he will be killed.Fortunately, Mrs. Nie has to deal with the Japanese pirates first, so he won't make things difficult for him for a while.I have to deal with it carefully, and I must not be used by this old guy.

After more than half an hour, the courtyard fell silent.Li Qiufeng looked out through the crack of the door, but saw that the yard was empty and the surroundings were silent, and it became a little eerie.

Li Qiufeng knew that the leaders of the four families Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du lived in the backyard.These people are all extraordinary people, and judging from Yu Fan's words and deeds, the Japanese pirates also knew that this was the place where the heads of the four families gathered.On the day of the Lantern Festival, they will definitely attack this place with all their strength.Therefore, although the backyard is silent, there is a great crisis hidden in this tranquility.

Li Qiufeng looked through the crack of the door for a while, and heard no noise from the room next to him. Sure enough, as Miao Zhu said, these people were extremely strict and would not show up easily.So he walked around the house a few times, thinking to himself that since Mrs. Nie has already moved in, sooner or later he will have to face him.This person wants to use himself wholeheartedly, so he won't attack him for the time being.As long as you deal with it carefully, there will be no danger before the Lantern Festival.Thinking of this, he made up his mind, tidied up his clothes, gently pushed open the door, and walked straight out.

From the wing room where Li Qiufeng lived to the corner door leading to the front yard from the back yard, it was only more than ten zhang away.Li Qiufeng walked towards the corner gate unhurriedly, walking very calmly.However, Li Qiufeng knew that there were countless eyes staring at him closely in the main hall and the left and right wing rooms.

When he walked out of the corner gate, there was a cold sweat on his back, which made his clothes stick to his back, which was very cold and uncomfortable.

When he left the corner gate, he saw that the front yard was different from before.Not only are the high poles hung with lights of various colors, but lanterns are also hung on the corridors and cornices of the main hall and gate.There was an endless stream of pilgrims worshiping in front of the main hall. After burning incense, many of them wandered around the courtyard, pointing at the lanterns and talking and laughing in low voices.The whole front yard was crowded with no less than three or four hundred people, which was very lively.

Li Qiufeng saw that Miao Zhu led several people to place offerings in front of the main hall, so he walked out without paying attention.He knew that if he was seen by Miao Zhu, he would inevitably be pestered by him to talk again.Now rumors are spreading throughout the city, if these pilgrims know that they are the high official from Beijing in the rumors, it will be even more difficult to escape.Therefore, taking advantage of Miao Zhu's lack of turning around, he hastily quickened his pace, circled around among the crowd, and after a while squeezed to the gate of the Town God's Temple, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Qiufeng turned his head and glanced at the main hall, but he saw that amidst the smog, the City God Empress in the main hall had a majestic appearance, sitting under the altar, looking down at the pilgrims in the yard, with compassion in her eyes.

Li Qiufeng's heart skipped a beat when he saw the city god's empress look so vivid.He stood there for a moment, then walked out the door.It's just that just after crossing the threshold, I saw a person coming up from the stone steps, and happened to meet Li Qiufeng face to face.Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and he was surprised and happy in an instant, and almost cried out.
