Chapter 74
Face is something that everyone needs, from emperors and princes to ordinary people. If it is said that personal face can be discussed and discussed, then the face of an organization cannot be given up even half a step.

Jin Yiwei represented the imperial court in Jianghu, so of course he had to save face, and five thousand households were killed in one breath. Of course, it is impossible to put this kind of thing in the open.

Although this matter has fooled the ignorant people, it is difficult to hide it from those great sects, but Jin Yiwei is a general public opinion. As for how many people know the truth, how many people are spreading it in private, and it does not leak to the public , then pretend not to know.

So Meng Yuan let Qiao Shifang's five thousand households go home to be raised in one breath. Don't ask, it means they are sick.

When Lu Hanjiang came to Qiao's residence, the door was closed and it was deserted. After all, it was a matter of the imperial court's face, and they were acting all the time. They didn't even dare to hang up when they were dead.

Lu Hanjiang knocked on the door, and a young servant came out to greet him. He had a somewhat displeased expression on his face, but he disappeared without a trace after seeing clearly the official uniform of the Jinyiwei.

"Adults, please."

The servant led Lu Hanjiang, directly bypassed the front yard, and went deep into the house. He knew the importance and did not move out those foolish things.

Lu Hanjiang followed him to the backyard of Qiao's house, and saw two young men in sackcloth and white scarves kneeling in front of Qiao Shifang's coffin. Seemingly impatient, the younger one had red eyes and sniffled intermittently.

"Second master, third master, there is a visitor."

As soon as the servant finished speaking, the younger man turned around and wanted to scold him. He could see that Lu Hanjiang was wearing the official uniform of the governor of the fourth rank, and swallowed the words again. Since it is Jinyiwei, there is no need to hide it. up.

"I've seen you, my lord."

Those two people came to see the ceremony. They have seen a lot of world together with Qiao Shifang, and they also know the names of the two governors. It's just that Lu Hanjiang is so young, which obviously doesn't match the image of the two adults. .

Lu Hanjiang is easy-going, so he doesn't care about these cumbersome understandings. Without saying much, he took out the paperwork and said: "The governor of the town came here to pass on the order. On the fifth day of the next month, someone from Qiao's family needs to come. According to Beizhen Fusi's report, you can choose which one to go to."

The two looked at each other and said in unison——

"You go!"

Lu Hanjiang was amused by this scene, not to mention, although Qiao Shifang is terrible, it depends on who he compares with. If he is compared with these dudes in Beijing, he is not far behind, and he is enough to be called an outstanding person.

There is some truth to the Confucian doctrine of the mean. It is probably because Qiao Shifang alone has taken up all the luck of the Qiao family's generation, so the rest are all of this kind.

"Second brother! You are older than me, so it is natural for you to avenge elder brother, why do you want to be a coward at this time!" the crying young man pointed at his elder brother and cursed angrily.

"Third brother, how much does the second brother weigh? Can't you see?" The older man said earnestly: "Third brother, you have great ambitions and are jealous of evil. Unfortunately, the elder brother died early, and it is you who contributed to the Qiao family." when."

"I don't know the truth!" The younger man blushed angrily, and said, "If it wasn't for my poor martial arts, why would I beg my second brother here!"

"Hey, that's wrong. It's said that fists are afraid of being young. Third brother, you are much stronger than elder brother and I. You must know that second brother spent all the money in his pocket on the girl all these years, and his body must not be able to withstand it." This is killing and killing."

"Second brother! You, how could you say such things in front of elder brother's spirit!"

The two brothers were arguing with each other, and it was a joy to quarrel. Lu Hanjiang also saw that the younger one was just a stunned young man, while the older one was a bit clever.

In fact, the second child of the Qiao family had scolded him a long time ago, and went to Beizhen Fusi to report?I'm afraid it's not going to report directly to the Palace of the King of Hades!

Although he has no skills, his eyes are not blind. Except for Qiao Shifang, the ten thousand households who went to the south of the Yangtze River, and the remaining four who died all had frequent contacts with Qiao Shifang on weekdays. Can't he see it as a younger brother!
On the surface, it was said that he was killed by Huangfu Yushu, but he might not be able to tell who did it. Now, all the thousands of households related to their Qiao family are dead. At this time, if he is asked to be a Jinyiwei, the third brother may be killed tomorrow. I can pay filial piety to my two older brothers by myself.

So the second son of the Qiao family made up his mind, and broke his leg, and being crippled for the rest of his life was better than being a lonely ghost.

The third child was also stupid, and he couldn't say anything about his elder brother, and was insulted by the second child in a strange way. Finally, he was a young man, and he began to move out what should be said or should not be said.

"Second brother! Will my younger brother still harm you? If you want to avenge your eldest brother, it is absolutely impossible without advanced martial arts. It's just that you let my elder brother do the errands for me for a while. , Naturally, I won’t let my brother get tired.”

"Brother, you think this martial arts is not enough to eat and drink. Eldest brother is already a genius who is unique in ten thousand. He has practiced with senior masters since he was a child. Even so, he still stumbles. It is to let you really practice three or five times. Can you still step over him?"

"Wait a minute."

Just when the two were arguing red-faced, Lu Hanjiang suddenly stopped them, his eyes flashed, and he looked at Qiao Laosan and asked, "You said just now, where are you going to practice martial arts?"

Qiao Laosan, who scolded the elder brother who was taller than the sky with his second brother, softened when he saw Lu Hanjiang. He shrank his neck and said timidly: "Returning to the adults, it is Xiaoyao, Xiaoyao sect."

Lu Hanjiang narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked, "The Dragon of the Xiaoyao Sect can't see the end, how do you find it?"

"My lord, my lord," said the youngest Qiao, stumbled, "a few days ago, the concierge received a letter, but the payment was not signed. It said that the Xiaoyao Sect wanted to accept a disciple of the Qiao family."

"Oh?" Lu Hanjiang asked again: "How can you be sure that this is not a fraud? They are free and easy, why bother to come to this capital to accept disciples, could it be that you are some kind of martial arts genius?"

"No, no," Joe's third son blushed, and said with shame: "Because of him, he once studied art with a master of the Happy School. When the news of his death came, they would come to him. There must be no fakes." .”

"Well, it makes sense." As he said that, Lu Hanjiang suddenly changed into an amiable expression, and he patted Qiao Laosan on the shoulder, almost paralyzing him with fright.

"My lord." Qiao Lao San was trembling, looking at Lu Hanjiang at a loss.

"What's your name?" Lu Hanjiang asked nicely.

"Joe, Joe Inches."

"Nice name!"

Lu Hanjiang gave a thumbs up and praised loudly: "As soon as I heard that this name is the material for becoming a Jinyiwei, you don't have to wait until next month, you can go back with this town."

"grown ups?!"

Hearing this, Qiao Cunsi's face turned pale, her feet trembled and she could hardly walk, but she was still dragged away by Lu Hanjiang.

Many days later, on a starry night, three miles outside the north gate of the capital, in a mountain temple, Lu Hanjiang walked into the main hall by moonlight, cupped his hands and said, "Qiao Family, Qiao Cunsi, I have seen the seniors of the Xiaoyao School. "
