A knife in love

Chapter 999

Li Qiufeng heard that Mrs. Nie was going to treat guests, and Huang Chong and Han Qusi were invited again. He thought to himself, the Nie family spent so much effort, willing to take risks, and wanted to use the power of Japanese pirates to wipe out the three families of Lu, Zhao and Du. .As the saying goes, there is no good banquet, and Mrs. Nie's glass of wine is not good.So he pondered for a moment, and then he said: "I was ordered to run a business this time, but I didn't inform the Governor's Yamen of Henan Province, the Yamen of the prefect of Luoyang, and the Yamen of the county magistrate of Xiuwu County. It's a little embarrassing. I appreciate Mrs. Nie's kindness, and it's not too late to have a drink with Mrs. Nie and all the adults after I finish my errands."

Old Mrs. Nie nodded and said, "In that case, we will not bother Mr. Li. The old man will retire, please forgive me."

After Mrs. Nie finished speaking, he bowed his hands to Li Qiufeng, then turned and left.Nie Dingnan followed Mrs. Nie, and the two of them walked straight to the corner door one after the other.

At this time, the sky was dimly lit, and the last few lanterns in the courtyard were also extinguished one after another without knowing it.Although Li Qiufeng had already made up his mind to stay in the Temple of the City God, he had just said that he wanted to go outside for a walk, so naturally he couldn't return to the wing immediately.So when he saw Mrs. Nie and Nie Dingnan walk into the backyard, he turned around and walked out of the temple gate, walking westward.

It's just that he just walked not far away, but saw a group of people rushing towards him in a hurry.When this group of people walked up to him, Li Qiufeng couldn't help being startled, but saw that the leader on the opposite side was Wan Congyun.Wan Congyun also recognized Li Qiufeng, first he showed surprise, then he came forward with a smile on his face, and said, "Master Li, we are going to the Town God's Temple to look for you, unexpectedly we met here Your old man."

After Wan Congyun finished speaking, he respectfully knelt down on one knee and gave Li Qiufeng a big gift.When Wan Congyun knelt down, more than a dozen disciples behind him also knelt down.There were two or three rude people who didn't know etiquette, but when they saw the master and a group of senior brothers kneeling down, the two of them fell to their knees and kowtowed three times in a row.

Li Qiufeng heard that Wan Congyun no longer called himself "Commander Li", but called himself "Master Li", knowing that this person recognized that he was a high-ranking official from the capital, so he did this great gift.He hastily took two steps, helped Wan Congyun up from the ground, and said in his mouth: "Brother, why are you so polite? We can be called friends in need, so much courtesy, it seems natural."

Wan Congyun was helped up by Li Qiufeng, and said respectfully: "How can a villain dare to discuss friendship with an adult? Being able to work for an adult is a blessing from a villain's previous life, and an adult must not kill a villain. "

Li Qiufeng didn't bother to discuss these trivial matters with him anymore, knowing that if Wan Congyun continued to flatter, he didn't know when he would be big.So he rushed to ask: "Brother is looking for me before dawn, could something happen?"

Only then did Wan Congyun remember the purpose of his coming here, slapped his thigh, and said, "Yes, the villain almost forgot the business. Lord Li, last night, some of the bastard Mei Dali's apprentices disappeared. He I took someone to search all night, and finally found these people in Majia Lane. I heard that these people were beaten so badly that even their mothers couldn't recognize them. Lao Mei is the most narrow-minded person, and loves to vent his anger Yu Ren. If it was the past, he would definitely suspect that the villain had cheated on Bayuyan. But this time his apprentice suffered such a big loss, and Lao Mei didn't come to trouble the villain. It's really incomprehensible .”

Li Qiufeng knew that Xu Chengzong had ordered Mei Dali's disciples down last night, and he was relieved to hear Wan Congyun say that these people had been rescued.After Wan Congyun finished speaking, Li Qiufeng said, "Is this why you came to me?"

Wan Congyun shook his head, and said: "There is one more thing, I'm afraid it's more important than this one. The villain obeyed Master Li's order and sent people to monitor the group of people living in the north of the city. It was the same as Xiao Gathered in the north of the city a few days ago. Those people in the world are different. After they lived here, they seldom go out, and their whereabouts are quite secretive. But just yesterday afternoon, the apprentices of the villain discovered that these people suddenly started to move. Not only did they link up with each other, but some people I don't know where the swords and weapons were taken out, and I don't know what the plot is."

Li Qiufeng knew that the heads of the Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du families lived in the Temple of the City God, while the rest of the children lived in the north of the city.Old Mrs. Nie is extremely strict, in order not to attract others' attention, he must restrain the children of the four families from being domineering.If the children of the four families in the north of the city took out their swords without any scruples, there is no doubt that it was Mrs. Nie who gave the order.In other words, Mrs. Nie already knew that the Japanese pirates were about to attack in a big way, so the four children had to be prepared.It's just that Mrs. Nie didn't know that the Japanese pirates and Xu Chengzong had already negotiated to do it the day before the Lantern Festival.In this way, although Mrs. Nie was on guard, he was afraid that he would be caught off guard by the pirates.

Seeing Li Qiufeng's serious face, Wan Congyun thought that the news he had found was very important, and he couldn't help feeling complacent, and then said: "Master Li, you can rest assured, the villain has sent five or six shrewd apprentices to keep an eye on him. Those guys in the north of the city. As long as these guys do something illegal, they will come to report immediately. At that time, if the adults want to take those people, they can send a post to the yamen. It is expected that Huang Chong and others will not How dare you disobey your lord's order."

Looking at Li Qiufeng's demeanor and Han Qusi's attitude towards Li Qiufeng, Wan Congyun already knew that this person had a lot of background.Since Han Qusi, the prefect of Luoyang, did not dare to be arrogant in front of Li Qiufeng, and Huang Chong was only the magistrate of Xiuwu County, so naturally he dared not offend Li Qiufeng even more.As a result, he changed his previous attitude, and the "Master Zhixian" who he kept saying was finally turned into "Huang Chong" in his mouth.

Only then did Li Qiufeng come back to his senses, and said to Wan Congyun, "Brother is able to do things well, this credit is not small."

After he finished speaking, he took out a piece of silver from his pocket, which weighed five taels, handed it to Wan Congyun, and said: "You take this little silver to drink with the brothers, and it is also a small token of my gratitude. "

Wan Congyun said a few words politely, and finally took the money with confidence.Li Qiufeng said: "Brother, go back immediately to gather people and stand by near the Town God's Temple. But you must keep in mind, even if there is any trouble in the Town God's Temple, without my order, you must never enter the Town God's Temple. What you want to do, brother, That is, when something happens in the Town God's Temple, the people around the Town God's Temple should be taken away as much as possible, so as not to cause harm to the people."

Wan Congyun was stunned, and said, "There will be troubles in the Town God's Temple today? How is this possible? Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. Our Xiuwu County has never had troubles before and after the Lantern Festival."

Li Qiufeng said: "There is no harm in planning for the rainy day. This year is not the same as usual. The prefect of Luoyang and the inspector of Henan Province have all come to Xiuwu County. If something goes wrong, something big will happen. My brother is a native of Xiuwu County. , I am very familiar with Xiuwu County. Once something happens, will I have to do my part?"

Wan Congyun nodded again and again, and said, "Follow your lord's orders."

Li Qiufeng said: "Send someone to inform Mei Dali and Bayuyan, and ask them to bring their apprentices and disciples to stand by near the Town God's Temple with my brother. This matter is extremely urgent and must not be delayed."

Wan Congyun agreed, and hurried away with his disciples.Li Qiufeng thought for a moment, and then walked forward at a leisurely pace.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased.While walking, Li Qiufeng was thinking about his own thoughts, and before he knew it, he had walked more than two miles away, not far from the county government office.He was startled, thinking to himself how did he get here?

It's just that when he was about to go around the county yamen, he saw Catcher Yin walking out of the yamen with three or four policemen.

When Catcher Yin saw Li Qiufeng, he hurried forward to meet him, bowed and saluted, and said, "The villain has met the adult."

Li Qiufeng waved his hands, and said in a deep voice, "Captain Yin, you don't need to be polite, you brought your brothers out on patrol so early?"

Yin Butou said: "When it was not dawn, Mr. Bai from the Chasi Yamen arrived at the county yamen. He said that the brigade from the Chasi Yamen would arrive at Xiuwu County today and asked us to prepare meals for the house. I heard that this time Four to five hundred police officers rushed to Xiuwu County, among them were many experts in handling cases. Master Huang did not dare to neglect, and ordered the villain to quickly prepare the house and house these gentlemen. To avoid picking on the bones of these bastards, Trouble us again."
