Chapter 18: Warning of Murderous Intent
Chapter 18: Warning of Murderous Intent
Kunlun 85 years winter October
The Wuhu Duanmen Dao is the largest sect in Jiangxi, with tens of thousands of disciples and clansmen, making it the largest sect in the Beggar Clan.
The Peng family tree is sorted according to the horoscope of "the great name will be passed down forever, and the justice will rule the south of the world". Nowadays, most of the younger generation belongs to the generation with the "big name" or the generation with the "big name".Peng Xiaobeg's real name was Peng Tianfang. When he debuted, Peng Laobeg was already in charge of Jiangxi. He was Peng Laobeg's son, so everyone called him Peng Xiaobeg.He is capable and shrewd in his work, which is very different from his father's bold and neat approach.Old Beggar Peng was well-known as a chivalrous man and was highly regarded by the public. He had been a chivalrous and righteous man throughout his life. Before the Third Master Kongtong Qi became famous a few years ago, he was known as the "last great chivalrous man".After he resigned in old age, Peng Xiaobei took over his father's position and became the chief helmsman of Jiangxi. Like his father, he was a disciple of Jiubao.
Beggar Peng raised a fighting cock with colorful purple feathers and a powerful cock, nicknamed "Baizhan".A hundred battles is an exaggeration, but as far as cockfighting is concerned, being undefeated in eight consecutive battles is a record for the wealthy gambling houses. If he hadn't been pecked out of his left eye in the last game, I don't know how long he could have fought.
After Bai Zhan retired, he was raised at the Jiangxi General Helms. Although he was old, his courage was not diminished.It is said that a cat without eyes, coveting delicious food, broke into the helm, but was pecked and scratched by him, and was beaten until the cat ran away with its head in its hands.Beggar Peng dotes on it very much and keeps it with him when working. Even younger beggars have to give way when he encounters it.Privately, everyone called it "Elder Chicken" and joked that this chicken was probably the senior disciple of Qipao, and the sub-rudder had to be respectful when meeting him.
Elder Ji is now in the lobby of Jiangxi General Helm.The person holding Elder Ji was naturally Peng Xiaobei. He stroked Bai Zhan who was lying in his arms with one hand, while looking at the three Beggar Clan disciples in front of him.Those were Xie Yuliang, a seven-bag disciple of Fuzhou branch helmsman, Liang Shen, a six-bag disciple and Yin Hong, a three-bag disciple of the head of the Xingtang Hall.
Standing next to him was Yang Yan.
"So, you didn't continue the investigation?" The brave God of War looked very docile in Peng Tianfang's arms, "It's pretty good. From now on, if any sect comes to the Beggar Clan every now and then to wipe out the family, as long as a seed is left behind, it will be considered as in compliance with the rules."
Xie Yuliang said: "We think...Huashan disciples should not dare to come to the Beggar Clan to cause trouble, for fear that this little brother will be embarrassed..."
Before he finished speaking, Peng Tianfang's voice suddenly rose and he started to curse: "It's hard on your mother! Are you ready to kneel down after hearing about the Huashan Sect?"
Xie Yuliang lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
Peng Tianfang continued: "I went to the Beggar Clan to exterminate the clan and didn't even say hello. Let's forget it. I'm seeking revenge and don't want to make a big fuss. So when you heard this, you just took it for granted that they must be seeking revenge? You took it for granted that you couldn't intervene? I'll just ask. Have you checked the name of the enemy?"
Xie Yuliang looked at Liang Shen, and Liang Shen also lowered his head.
"I can't hear you clearly, what did you say?" Peng Tianfang glared at Liang Shen, "Louder!"
Liang Shen said: "I checked..."
Peng Tianfang asked again: "When did you check?"
Liang Shen said: "Yesterday."
Peng Tianfang asked: "Tell me, what's going on? What kind of hatred? Make it clear!"
Liang Shen said: "I looked through the complaint letters issued by various sects in the past 25 years, and I couldn't find Yang Zhengde, Yang Xiujie, or anything related to the Yang family and the Xianxia sect."
Peng Tianfang said: "No, then I'm relieved. It's okay, everyone goes back to work."
Liang Shen lowered his head and said, "Maybe they used fake names."
Peng Tianfang said: "Maybe tomorrow you won't be the master of the execution hall, but will go to the wealthy gambling house to pick up the escort."
Liang Shen panicked and said: "Chief Commander, I will send someone to arrest them immediately and ask for details!"
Peng Tianfang said: "You didn't even investigate, but you used drag tactics on an orphan. Damn it, are you using it to feed chickens in your conscience?!"
At this point, Bai Zhan suddenly let out a loud cry, as if responding to what Peng Tianfang said, blaming these subordinates.
Peng Tianfang said: "Did you hear that? Damn it, people are worse than chickens! Xie Yuliang, you are the sub-rudder, I have written this down! Liang Shen, you are the leader of the punishment hall, I think you have been here for too long, you should Find another place to relax. I'll transfer you to Xinyu. There are fewer people there and life is more comfortable! In the end, you..."
He looked at Yin Hong and cursed: "Mom, what the hell are you doing! Why are you bringing three disciples here to be scolded? Get out of here!"
The three of them bowed respectfully and left.
Yang Yan stepped forward and said: "General Helmsman, thank you..."
Peng Tianfang interrupted Yang Yan and said, "There's no need to thank me. A few taels of silver are enough for my father to do something for you. If you learn one and a half of his moves, it's not a loss. I'm not standing up for you, it's them." The matter was handled irregularly. When the truth comes to light, it is the beggar gang's honor that they can help you seek justice. If you cannot seek justice, it is your fate."
Yang Yan knew that what he said was true, and still said: "If I hadn't met the senior, I wouldn't have been lucky enough. Yang Yan is still grateful."
Peng Tianfang said: "My father is confused in brain but not in martial arts. It is very difficult to look at him. He likes you. Fugui Gambling House is holding a hundred chicken banquet these two days. You accompany him to watch the excitement. I will send him back to Shaoxing afterwards. ."
Yang Yan nodded and said, "Yes."
Peng Tianfang said: "Remember, don't let him walk along the doorstep."
Yang Yan wondered: "Why?"
Peng Tianfang said: "When you grew up in Jiangxi, have you ever seen beggars along the doorsteps?"
Yang Yan thought for a while and said, "No."
Peng Tianfang said: "The foundation laid by the beggar gang is not what it was a hundred years ago. Only when collecting taxes would they send their disciples to wear beggar uniforms to show that they have not forgotten their roots. The doorstep is an offense to the ancestors. Decades ago It’s forbidden.”
In order to avoid his enemies, Yang Zhengde never liked outsiders visiting. The Yang family had no land and only had to pay household tax in the spring and Ding tax in the autumn. Every season, Yang Zhengde came to pay the tax himself. The Yang family was remote, so Yang Yan I have never seen beggars come to my door to ask for taxes.
Yang Yan asked again: "What about the really poor beggar?"
Peng Tianfang said: "Let them sell tricks. Even if they insert a sign to ask for money, they are not allowed to do it along the doorstep."
Yang Yan thought to himself: "Real beggars cannot be beggars, but fake beggars are really begging for money. Is it true that there are no poor and helpless people in the three provinces of Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi? This rule is really unkind."
If Yang Yan was a simple-minded person in the past, what he saw was what he got, and he would not have any doubts. After these days of polishing, he had become more thoughtful about human relations and sophistication. Although he felt something was wrong, he thought that it was useless to discuss it with Peng Tianfang, so he bowed. After resigning, he went to find Old Beggar Peng.
He knocked on the door of Old Beggar Peng's room, and the man inside agreed.Entering the house, he saw Old Beggar Peng who had just finished his breakfast and was staring at him wonderingly: "Boy, who are you?"
Yang Yan was in a good mood because he was hopeful that his revenge would be repaid, so he smiled and said, "I am Yang Yan. Grandpa, have you forgotten me?"
Old Beggar Peng thought for a while and suddenly said: "Oh, that boy from the Xianxia Sect?" Then he straightened his face and said, "What do you call me grandpa? I'm only 27. It's too much to call me uncle, and I call you grandpa!"
Yang Yan said: "Yes, yes. Uncle, tell me a story. Old Beggar Peng is famous, so he must have a lot to say."
Old beggar Peng said: "That's nonsense, don't you need to work?"
Seeing that Old Beggar Peng was about to go out, Yang Yan hurriedly followed behind him.After leaving the Jiangxi headquarters, he remembered Peng Tianfang's instructions and asked, "Uncle, where are you going? Are you going to follow the door again?"
Old beggar Peng asked: "Where along the doorstep?"
Yang Yan said: "The Beggar Clan has established a new rule, prohibiting people from walking along the doorstep."
Old beggar Peng blew his beard and cursed: "The beggar gang does not allow beggars to beg. Is it decent?"
"I still expect you to answer my question." Yang Yan thought to himself, and said: "It's not inaccurate, the fees are collected door to door wearing beggar's clothes. Alas, in short, you can't ask for money."
Old Beggar Peng said: "Then let's go work as a day escort."
Yang Yan saw that he was going in the wrong direction and hurriedly said: "Yuefeng Gambling House has closed down early."
Old Beggar Peng turned around and cursed: "You kid is talking nonsense again! It has only been open for three years, why did it close?"
Yang Yan remembered that he had heard many stories about Old Beggar Peng at the Jiangxi General Headquarters yesterday, and knowing what was going on, he said: "Later, the Beggar Clan's casino business grew bigger and bigger, and they opened another Fugui Gambling House, and Yuefeng Gambling House became the It was collected and converted into a pawn shop, which is where we met."
Old Beggar Peng thought for a while and said, "It seems that there is such a thing. The casino is converted into a pawn shop, which can be considered a family relationship. When did they move?"
Yang Yan smiled and said: "In another ten or twenty years, when you become the chief helmsman of Jiangxi, you will move."
Old Beggar Peng scolded: "You are a fool! Then go to Fugui Gambling House to find a job!"
Yang Yan followed Old Beggar Peng to Fugui Gambling House. Old Beggar Peng didn't bring any bamboo poles and cloth strips, so he borrowed a venue from someone else. Yang Yan followed him and sat on the floor. He saw lights and colorful decorations around Fugui Gambling House, people coming and going, and many vendors. It's often ten times more lively.
Old Beggar Peng asked the escort beside him: "What day is today?"
"You are confused, today is the feast of a hundred chickens." The escort replied.
Old Beggar Peng looked puzzled and turned to ask Yang Yan: "Today's Hundred Chicken Feast? Why didn't I know?"
This was the second time Yang Yan heard about the Feast of One Hundred Chickens today and asked, "What is the Feast of One Hundred Chickens?"
Old Beggar Peng said: "This is a major event for the Beggar Clan in Fuzhou. Every year on the tenth day of October, there will be a big prize for the broken formation diagram in the gambling house. In the morning, the chicken dealers will display their own fighting cocks, and the people will see which chicken is the most beautiful. You pay ten cents to buy a piece of paper, write your name on it, and throw it into a bamboo bucket in front of the chicken coop. At noon, the votes are drawn, and a ticket is picked out from the bamboo tube with the most votes, and you get three taels of silver. Some people buy five tickets for ten coins. Zhang, use your small to make a big difference."
"Why did you choose the tenth day of October?"
Old Beggar Peng said: "Chicken is the tenth in the zodiac, and ten is one hundred, so it is also called the Hundred Chicken Feast."
"Just choosing which chicken is the most beautiful can make such a big fuss." Yang Yan thought, "But these people are gambling and having fun, there must be other things." So he asked again: "What other activities are there?"
Old Beggar Peng said: "What I just mentioned is not the highlight. In the afternoon, the dealer will select the eight fighting cocks with the best records, fight each other in pairs, and open to the public. The loser will be eliminated, and the winner will be promoted. Normally, you can't play. Gamblers who play the game of Breaking the Formation can participate in the grand event, and the winner in the end is the Kuiji. In addition to the silver reward, there are also peripherals, generous rewards, fame and fortune, so the bookmakers who love to play the game of Breaking the Formation regard the Hundred Chicken Feast as Do great things every year.”
Yang Yan asked: "So these people are here to watch cockfighting?" He thought to himself: "What is the fun of that cruel game?"
Old Beggar Peng said: "If there is a crowd, there will naturally be a business place, and if there is a business place, there will naturally be more crowds. Those selling handles, plasters, snack vendors, and groceries from the north and south, when they gather together, it will be lively."
Yang Yan said: "It sounds like it's still gambling. It has nothing to do with the banquet. It's just a matter of choosing a day to gamble."
Old Beggar Peng laughed loudly and said: "You are half right. It is indeed a day to gamble a lot, but the real banquet of a hundred chickens is at night. At night, the casino closes for the night and a hundred chickens are killed. Making various dishes and entertaining all the big gamblers and working in the casino is a reward for a year's hard work. Casinos and brothels are one of the main incomes of the Beggar Clan, and Fugui Gambling House is the largest casino in Jiangxi. These days, continuously The chief helmsman will come to host it. The most precious thing among them is an 'EMI Crown', which can only be enjoyed by the person with the highest status at the banquet."
"What is 'EMI Crowning'?" Yang Yan thought to himself, "It's just a cockfighting, and the casino can come up with so many tricks. This chicken is also unlucky enough to live in Fuzhou. Not only is it eaten, but it also has to be able to fight. Their names are used to attract people to gather for gambling, and they show off their beauty and flirt with others, so they really put everything to good use."
Old Beggar Peng said: "The most majestic thing about a chicken is the comb. When fighting cocks fight, they love to peck the comb. The comb is the leader, and it also means wealth. Make a hundred chickens into various dishes, only remove the combs, add sesame oil Stir-fry, add sorghum and stew, add ginkgo and honey for seasoning, and the homophonic pronunciation is called 'EMI Fengguan'."
Yang Yan frowned and asked, "Is it delicious?"
Old Beggar Peng said: "Bah, damn it tastes so bad! I'm just looking for a good sign, and it's an exclusive dish, so I have to take two bites to enjoy it."
"There is a diagram to break the formation, why don't you join in the fun?" Yang Yan said, "This is not like my uncle's character."
Old Beggar Peng said: "It's crowded and not interesting. There must be some good work to do today, just wait."
After Yang Yan heard what he said, he sat in front of the stall and chatted with him.Old Beggar Peng had a wealth of experience and could talk endlessly about anecdotes from the world, but he often lost track of what he was talking about and forgot all about the past.Yang Yan listened with great interest, remembering that he used to get along with his grandfather, and his grandfather loved to tell him stories. Now that he listened to Old Beggar Peng telling stories, he couldn't help but feel closer to him.
At noon, the crowd dispersed to have their meals. The tavern was noisy, but the street in front of the gambling house was much quieter.Several gamblers who had won the bet hired one-day bodyguards and left. Yang Yan saw that everyone disliked Old Beggar Peng for his old age and did not ask. He thought to himself: "It's a pity that you don't know the ropes. All the bodyguards here combined are not as powerful as Grandpa Peng." "He turned to look at Old Beggar Peng again, and saw that he was tired of waiting and had fallen asleep on the ground.
It seemed that the whole morning had passed like this. Yang Yan stretched and felt a little bored. Suddenly he heard footsteps approaching quickly. He looked up and saw a servant carrying a box covered with black cloth. He couldn't see clearly. Things inside.
The servant looked around with a panic expression and asked Yang Yan: "Are you two left? Where are the others?"
Yang Yan said: "We went to work separately, and there are only two of us left."
The servant hesitated for a moment and said: "Please help me take this treasure to Mr. Li's house and tell the steward that the two new servants have stopped working and ran away. There will be a feast of hundreds of chickens at Po Zhen Tu's place in the evening. , I haven’t cleaned it up properly, and the shopkeeper of the casino won’t let me go. I’m afraid there are too many people here, so I have to send this red boy back first, and the casino is short of manpower, so I entrusted you with it.”
If you agree to him, you are afraid of causing complications. Yang Yan was about to refuse, when Old Beggar Peng suddenly stood up and said, "Two hundred coins will be delivered to your house."
The servant said: "Old man, don't mess around, I am entrusting this little brother."
Old beggar Peng said: "I am older, less than thirty. Leave it to me. If anything happens, I will pay for it. Who is Mr. Li? Tell me."
When Yang Yan saw the servant looking at him, he thought that he would not be able to defeat Old Beggar Peng, so he had to say: "Leave me an address and I will send it to you."
The servant gave the address and said cautiously: "This red boy is very valuable. You can't afford to pay for it if it's messed up."
Yang Yan didn't know what the red boy was, so he hesitated again after hearing what he said.Old Beggar Peng reached out to take the box and said, "I'll go with him. Don't worry, it'll be fine."
The servant took out half a bucket of copper coins, counted two hundred coins and gave it to Old Beggar Peng, saying: "Go right away, come back right away, and report back to me at the casino. If you don't come back within an hour, I will notify the beggar gang to arrest you."
Old Beggar Peng waved his hand and said, "Come on, come on, go about your business."
Yang Yan was curious and bent down to lift the black cloth, only to see a red-billed golden-winged chicken with purple feathers. He was startled and said, "Is it a fighting cock?"
It turned out to be a chicken cage, about two and a half feet high and more than three feet long, which was much larger than the average chicken cage.
Old Beggar Peng said, "Of course it's a fighting cock. Did you think it was the one in Journey to the West?" He also looked at Red Boy and said, "This chicken is beautiful. It must have participated in the selection in the morning." He looked again. After a while, he said, "It's a pity that he has insufficient energy and dull eyes, so he can't go to the battlefield. There is no hope for the formation breaking map in the afternoon. No wonder he is sent back in a hurry. According to my calculation, this red boy is worth at least 50 taels of silver."
Yang Yan smiled bitterly and said: "People are cheaper than chickens, I'm used to it."
Old Beggar Peng covered the place with black cloth again and said, "It's time to get to work."
Mr. Li's wife's house is about three miles away from Fugui Casino, and an hour is enough for a round trip.Old Beggar Peng was walking with the chicken coop, shaking the chicken coop as he walked.
Yang Yan asked: "Why do you cover the chicken coop with black cloth?"
Old Beggar Peng said: "This is a cockfighting. The most courageous thing about cockfighting is that there are many people here. I'm afraid it will scare it. If it loses its courage, it will never fight again."
Yang Yan saw him carrying the chicken coop and shaking it back and forth a lot, and he couldn't help but worry: "Uncle, aren't you afraid of shaking the chicken cage unconscious if you shake it like this?"
Old Beggar Peng said: "Don't be afraid, this is to train its leg strength. When it is bumpy inside, it has to hold on to the cage or balance its wings. Over time, its legs and wings will become stronger. This is the method of training a fighting cock."
"This is a 50-tael chicken..." Yang Yan said, "I didn't teach you how to practice for it, so don't mess around."
Old Beggar Peng said: "Don't be afraid..." Suddenly, a "dong" sound came from the chicken coop, as if the chicken had hit something.Yang Yan was stunned and looked at Old Beggar Peng.
Old Beggar Peng said sarcastically: "This chicken has not been trained well enough, so it is useless. But after a bump, it's okay, it's okay."
After walking another mile, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, and there was another "dong" sound from the cage, and the red boy bumped into the chicken coop again.
Yang Yan glared at Old Beggar Peng, and Old Beggar Peng smiled sheepishly and said, "Stop shaking, I'll just carry it like a baby."
Yang Yan said: "I'll take it." Regardless of whether Old Beggar Peng agreed or not, he took the chicken coop.
After carrying it for a while, the red boy could still keep his center of gravity steady at first, but then he stumbled and became very unsteady.Yang Yan was holding the chicken coop like he was holding a dragon's egg. He was afraid that it would break as soon as it hit the ground. The more he lifted it, the more panicked he became. Then he said to Old Beggar Peng, "It's better you do it."
"You bastard, are you afraid?" Old Beggar Peng mocked, "What are you afraid of?"
Yang Yan said angrily: "Just mention it, I don't need your help!"
Old Beggar Peng laughed loudly, took the cage and said, "It's not that easy for a fighting cock to die. Look at me, throwing it like this." He raised his arms and threw the chicken cage in a wide circle.Yang Yan was so frightened that he said hurriedly: "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble! I can't afford to pay for it!"
Suddenly he heard a heavy "dong", and Yang Yan saw Old Beggar Peng shake the chicken coop and say "Huh?", his heartbeat accelerated, and he believed that his face must be pale now.
Old beggar Peng put down the chicken coop and lifted the black cloth. Yang Yan looked over from behind and saw that the red boy rolled his eyes, his tongue was sticking out, foam was flowing from the corners of his mouth, his legs were stiff, and a wisp of chicken soul was floating in the air. I don’t know which fairyland or cave to go to.
Yang Yan felt like the world was spinning and his feet were almost weak. He quickly held his forehead and shouted: "Grandpa!"
Old Beggar Peng said angrily: "I just told you that I am not a grandfather, I am only 27!"
Yang Yan said: "It doesn't matter whether you are 27 or 72! You shook Red Boy to death, the Bull Demon King will not let you go!"
Old Beggar Peng said: "Nonsense, you also mentioned this chicken coop! At most, I kill it more, and you kill it less, we all have a share!"
Yang Yan was anxious and angry, and said: "50 taels! How many years do I have to sell myself before I can afford the compensation?"
Old Beggar Peng looked around and saw that there were few people on the road and no one was paying attention. He hurriedly said: "I have a way, come with me!"
"What else can we do?" Although Yang Yan didn't believe it, he thought on second thought, "Grandpa has the ability, maybe he can bring the dead back to life?" Seeing Old Beggar Peng waving to him, he hurriedly followed.
Old Beggar Peng left the city through the side door, went to the woods, and put down the chicken coop.Yang Yan couldn't understand and asked: "Grandpa, what can you do?"
Old Beggar Peng said sternly: "Now that the situation has come to an end, the only option is to destroy the corpse and destroy the chicken! That's right, it was this chicken, and we ate it! When Officer Li found us, we pushed him to the ground and refused to admit it!"
It turned out that this was the method. Yang Yan felt dizzy again and thought to himself: "You are Old Beggar Peng. If you don't admit it, people will take advantage of you. I'm just a piece of shit! It's weird if they don't arrest me to take the blame!"
At this point, I can only plead guilty and see if I can get a lighter sentence.Yang Yan was just thinking to himself when he saw Old Beggar Peng taking Red Boy out of the chicken coop and asked hurriedly: "What do you want to do again?"
Old Beggar Peng said: "Have you ever eaten beggar's chicken? Let me tell you, fighting cocks are so delicious, you won't be able to eat more than a few in your life!"
"I can't even afford to eat a piece of chicken butt! Oh, where are you going?" Yang Yan saw Old Beggar Peng walking deeper into the woods again and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.Old Beggar Peng just ignored him and said, "I'm going to collect firewood. Wash and skin the chicken. Remember to dig a hole and bury the feathers and bones. If you don't see the chicken alive, you won't see the body after it's dead."
"Don't go!" Yang Yan held on with all his strength, but he couldn't match Old Beggar Peng's strength, so he was dragged forward.Yang Yan shouted angrily: "Uncle!"
Hearing his anger, Old Beggar Peng turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yang Yan made up his mind and said to Old Beggar Peng: "As a man, you have to stand upright! What's the big deal with 50 taels? At worst, you can work for him as a coolie for a few years and slowly earn money to pay him back! How can you do such an act of destroying corpses and killing chickens? Chivalrous?" He said it righteously, but when he said "destroying corpses and chickens", he still couldn't help laughing.
Although Yang Yan smiled, his eyes were sincere, staring straight at Old Beggar Peng. "You do have some backbone in your eyes." Old Beggar Peng sighed, "That's right, it's just 50 taels, even if you sell your butt, you have to pay it back!"
"Selling it will only sell my ass..." Yang Yan thought to himself.
The two walked back to the place where Hong Haier's body was buried, only to see a wild dog eating Hong Haier.Yang Yan screamed: "Beast!" He rushed forward.Old Beggar Peng also scolded: "What a waste!"
When the dog saw the two people approaching, its mouth was full of blood and there was something in its mouth, so it ran away.Yang Yan saw that the chicken carcass was missing a piece of chicken butt.Old Beggar Peng praised: "Bite the chicken butt first, you are really an expert in eating!"
Yang Yan was angry and funny, and said, "Are you still praising it now?"
Suddenly they heard another "woof" sound. Yang Yan and Old Beggar Peng turned their heads at the same time and saw that the wild dog that had bitten the chicken's butt suddenly fell to the ground. Its limbs were twitching continuously and foaming at the mouth. It seemed that it was in danger.
Old Beggar Peng smiled and said, "You choked, right? You deserve it!" He raised his foot and stepped over ten feet, landing next to the wild dog in just two steps.
"Grandpa's kung fu is so good!" Yang Yan admired in his heart and followed quickly.But he saw Old Beggar Peng jumping for joy and saying, "It's okay!" Yang Yan asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Old Beggar Peng grabbed Yang Yan's hand and danced: "This dog didn't choke to death, it was poisoned!"
"Poisoned to death?" Yang Yan looked at the dog in disbelief, "Then why are you so happy, uncle?"
Old Beggar Peng said: "He was poisoned by that chicken! So, Red Boy's death has nothing to do with us!"
Yang Yan said happily: "Really or not? Grandpa, please don't try to trick me!"
"Call me uncle!" Old Beggar Peng said, "The dog ate the chicken's butt and was immediately poisoned to death. Of course he was poisoned to death!"
Yang Yan said: "That's not right. Red Boy followed us for two miles before he died. How could this dog become poisonous after walking so few steps?"
Old Beggar Peng said: "Some poisons have different toxicity to different types. Some people are fine after eating them, but dogs will die after eating them. Some dogs are fine after eating them, but people will die after eating them. The toxicity is different, and the time for the poison to appear is also different, Red Boy. Slow onset, this dog has a fast onset.”
Yang Yan said: "Someone wants to poison Hong Boy? Who?"
Old Beggar Peng said: "Well, the winning or losing of each game of breaking the formation is hundreds of taels. It is inevitable that someone will try to do something. If it is not the banker who cannot afford to lose, it is the player who buys the outside."
Yang Yan said: "What should we do now?"
Old Beggar Peng said: "Take the body to Li's house and give them an explanation."
When Yang Yan saw the dog corpse on the ground, he couldn't help but shuddered when he remembered that he had almost eaten the chicken just now.Just as he was frightened, his hand was held by Old Beggar Peng's big hand. Then he felt a strong wind blowing against his face, and his heartbeat skipped half a beat. At this moment, he had landed next to Hong Hai'er.Old Beggar Peng held up Red Boy and took another step, flying away like the wind.
Old Beggar Peng's hands were big and warm, and he pulled him tightly. He jumped up and down, and covered a long distance with every step he took, as if his feet were not touching the ground. Yang Yan was still I was a little panicked, but gradually felt relieved.
After a while, the two of them arrived at Yuan Li's house.Yang Yan knocked on the door, and the servant opened the door and asked what he was doing. Yang Yan said that Hong Haier had been poisoned to death, and the servant quickly informed Li Yuanwai.
Yang Yan had no intention of admiring the luxurious style of Mr. Li's wife's family at the moment. He just wanted to end the matter as soon as possible.When Old Beggar Peng took out Red Boy's body, Li Yuanwai was shocked. He took the body of Red Boy and said angrily, "What's going on?" Yang Yan told the servants of the Li family about entrusting bodyguards to It is said that the red boy died suddenly in the middle, and the analysis must be that he was poisoned to death.
Officer Li was very sorry and said angrily: "This red boy has not been in battle yet, so I just want to show it off at the Hundred Chicken Banquet so that everyone can appreciate its grace. Who has no butthole poisoned him?"
Yang Yan said: "Perhaps he is too powerful and arouses fear. If Mr. Li doesn't believe it, ask a doctor to test it, or try it with a wild dog."
Officer Li looked at Red Boy and suddenly noticed that his hands were covered with blood. He looked again and saw that Red Boy was missing a piece of his butt, and asked, "Where is its butt?"
Yang Yan was immediately speechless.He had just skipped the section where Old Beggar Peng wanted to destroy the body and eliminate traces, but he didn't think of how to cover up the fact that the chicken's butt was bitten by a dog. He was panicked and looked at Old Beggar Peng hurriedly.
Old Beggar Peng looked confused, as if he was deep in thought.
Li Yuanwai's tone increased and he asked in a deep voice: "I said, where is Red Boy's butt?"
Yang Yan hurriedly said: "This... we thought there was something wrong with the cause of Red Boy's death, so we tested the poison and did an autopsy. This autopsy, the chicken cadaver, has to be done from the chicken's butt, so... we cut a piece off. Uncle, is that right? ?”
Li Yuanwai looked suspicious, showing disbelief. Seeing that Old Beggar Peng didn't answer, Yang Yan felt guilty again.
Officer Li glanced at Honghai'er again and said, "The wounds on this butt are uneven. They were obviously bitten. Who bit them?"
Yang Yan said: "I...I bit him. We have to do an autopsy. It's a last resort."
Officer Li said: "You bite the hair before you even pluck it out?"
Yang Yan said: "It's better to wear fur, and it smells less like chicken shit."
Officer Li scolded: "Do you think I am a fool! Did you kill Hong Boy?"
Yang Yan hurriedly waved his hands and said: "No! He was really poisoned to death!"
Member Li said angrily: "You can only look at the chickens at the Hundred Chicken Banquet but not touch them, and there is no food to eat. Who can poison them? You are the only one! Tell me, did you kill my red boy and poison him again?" Fooled through?"
Yang Yan hurriedly said: "Why are we doing this? It doesn't make sense!"
Old Beggar Peng suddenly said: "Yes, that's it! It makes sense, it makes so much sense!"
Yang Yan was surprised when he heard what he suddenly said.Officer Li was furious and shouted: "Come here! Arrest them!"
As soon as he shouted, more than a dozen bodyguards rushed in to arrest Yang Yan.Yang Yan hurriedly said: "Uncle, what are you talking about?"
The dozen or so guards raised their fists and feet, and Old Beggar Peng seemed to suddenly wake up and twisted his body.How could these ordinary nursing homes be the rivals of Old Beggar Peng?Yang Yan only saw fists and feet flying, and more than a dozen guards flying and falling down, wailing and screaming.Immediately, Yang Yan felt his neck tighten, his feet left the ground, and he heard a "crash" sound in his ears. It turned out that Old Beggar Peng jumped up with his collar, and actually broke a hole in the roof.
Officer Li shouted loudly: "Call Coach Zhao over quickly!"
Yang Yan reached the roof and saw Old Beggar Peng looking around and asked, "Uncle, what are you looking for?"
Old beggar Peng said: "Chicken coop! Where is the chicken coop?"
Seeing that he was anxious, Yang Yan pointed to an open space and asked, "Is it that?"
Old Beggar Peng carried Yang Yan and flew away, and a voice came from behind: "The gangsters, please leave!"
Yang Yan looked back and saw a man in green chasing him from behind.He saw the man's hands shaking, and golden light suddenly burst out. Although he couldn't see clearly what the other person threw, he guessed it must be a hidden weapon.
The hidden weapon was so urgent and fast that Old Beggar Peng had to turn around to respond to the enemy.He landed, turned around, caught a golden light, shot it back, and shot down another golden light.The golden light came overwhelmingly, and he shot it back. Every time he shot back, he would hit the opponent with a hidden weapon.Yang Yan couldn't see clearly how his hands were moving, but he could hear the constant sound of impact. The man in green was getting closer and closer, and his direction was becoming more and more tricky. Old Beggar Peng was also shooting faster and faster. Yang Yan lowered his head and saw Money darts all over the floor.When the man in green clothes was about ten feet closer, the last sound suddenly stopped, and the money darts on his body were exhausted.
The man in green's expression changed, he knelt on his knees, kowtowed repeatedly and shouted: "Sir, have mercy on me! Master, have mercy on me!"
Yang Yan later found out that he was the leader of the nursing home of Mr. Li's wife's family. His surname was Zhao. He was a master of eighteen-way shuttle money darts. He could shoot eighteen money darts in one breath with different twists and turns.In the short exchange just now, he fired one hundred and eight money darts in a row, but Old Beggar Peng caught 54 of them and shot down 54 of them. He was so frightened that he vomited out bile and had to kneel down and beg for mercy.
Yang Yan hurriedly shouted: "He is Old Beggar Peng, it's okay!" Seeing that the other party was surprised and disbelieving, he added, "Apart from him, where can such a powerful old man come from in Jiangxi?"
"I'm only 27 years old, don't talk nonsense!" Old Beggar Peng replied.
Yang Yan kept saying yes. Seeing that Coach Zhao already believed it, he hurriedly asked Old Beggar Peng, "What's going on?"
"Red Boy has never been on a battle map, how can he know his strength? It's common for a beautiful person to lose to an inconspicuous one!"
Yang Yan thought of the battle between Xue Lihong and Good Omen and felt it made sense.
"If you don't know, why poison it? Besides, the chicken at the Hundred Chicken Feast has no chance to eat. Red Boy was poisoned elsewhere, and the purpose is not to poison it."
Yang Yan said: "Do you think it was the poison in the chicken coop?"
Yang Yan took a look at the chicken coop. It occupies a very large area and houses not only domesticated fighting cocks, but also some other breeds of unattractive chickens. Then he asked the guest in green: "Isn't this chicken coop only for fighting cocks?"
The guest in green clothes said hurriedly: "My surname is Zhao, just call me Xiao Zhao. Little hero, Mr. Li is the largest chicken farmer in Jiangxi. This is just one of his properties. The No-Maj chicken you eat in Fuzhou, Nine out of ten are from his side."
Old beggar Peng picked up a handful of chicken feed and said to Coach Zhao, "Eat and see."
Coach Zhao didn't know why, so he took a bite as instructed and chewed with a grimace.
Yang Yan thought to himself: Even if Old Beggar Peng wants him to eat chicken shit now, I'm afraid he will do it.
Old Beggar Peng asked: "How do you feel?"
Coach Zhao shook his head and said, "It's not delicious."
Old Beggar Peng frowned again, grabbed a handful and was about to put it in his mouth. Yang Yan quickly stopped him and said, "No, I'll do it! You have such profound skills that you can't try them!"
Old Beggar Peng looked at Yang Yan, felt it made sense, and nodded.
Yang Yan took a small bite of the feed and said after a while: "I don't feel anything, it's strange."
Old Beggar Peng said: "The feed is not poisonous, so where is the poison? And why can't you get along with Mr. Li's wife's chickens?" He then turned to ask Coach Zhao, "Does your master have any enemies?"
Coach Zhao said: "How can there not be a few opponents in the mall? But this chicken farm is very well guarded. Even a master like you can't break in."
There is no reason to break in and poison a chicken specifically, let alone a fighting cock.Yang Yan looked around and suddenly shouted: "Uncle, there is a dead chicken there!"
Old Beggar Peng looked around and saw that the chicken coop was much larger than an ordinary chicken coop. There was only one fighting cock inside, which was already stiff and dead like a red boy.
Coach Zhao said: "Hey, why did he die again? There has been a chicken plague in the chicken coop recently, and the dead ones are all the best and famous fighting cocks."
Old Beggar Peng asked in confusion: "Why are other chickens fine but only useful for cockfighting? Is it a breed relationship? Go and catch a dog!"
Yang Yan suddenly saw a broiler chicken with a bald forehead. An idea flashed in his mind and he asked, "That chicken's comb is missing a piece. What's going on?"
Coach Zhao said: "This fighting cock has a training time, and when the time is up, it will be released for training. These ancestors are more aggressive than ordinary roosters. Sometimes if they are not disciplined, they will peck and hurt other broiler chickens."
Yang Yan shouted: "It's on the comb! Not one chicken, it's all the chickens, all on the comb!"
He screamed incoherently, but Old Beggar Peng immediately woke up, grabbed a chicken, and tore off the comb.The chicken couldn't help but scream in pain. Old Beggar Peng released the chicken, handed the comb to Coach Zhao and said, "Try it!"
Teacher Zhao had a troubled look on his face, and when he was about to refuse, Old Beggar Peng asked, "What did you say your name was?"
Coach Zhao hurriedly said: "I..."
Before he finished speaking, Old Beggar Peng flicked the cockscomb into Coach Zhao's mouth.Coach Zhao couldn't spit it out enough and actually swallowed it.
Old Beggar Peng asked: "How do you feel?"
After a while, Coach Zhao closed his eyes, took a breath, and replied: "It's okay, we can eat this chicken ourselves, it's okay."
Old Beggar Peng said: "It's okay, let's eat more." He caught another chicken, tore off the comb and stuffed it to Coach Zhao.Coach Zhao had no choice but to endure the nausea and swallow it.After eating two or three slices, Old Beggar Peng asked again, "How is it?"
Coach Zhao took a breath and said: "The breath is a little uncomfortable, but...it's not a problem." After a while, he added, "Now think about it, after eating No-Maj chicken these past few days, this kind of situation occasionally happens, but it's not serious. Just don’t take it seriously.”
Old Beggar Peng said: "Only the cock's comb is poisonous. This amount of poison can't kill a human, it can only kill a chicken."
At this time, Li Yuanwai ran over panting and cursed: "What do you two gangsters want to do to my chicken? God damn it, who asked you to come here to harm me?"
Yang Yan said: "Aren't they your servants..." He and Old Beggar Peng looked at each other and suddenly asked: "Are the two servants who went to the Hundred Chicken Feast this morning responsible for feeding the chickens?"
Member Li scolded: "That's right. If they hadn't run away, how could they have attracted you two plague gods!"
Coach Zhao hurriedly explained: "Except for Mr. Li, this old man is the hero Peng Lao Beggar. You must not neglect him!"
Officer Li was startled and looked at Old Beggar Peng with wide eyes, still not believing himself.
Old Beggar Peng asked again: "Are they new here?"
Mr. Li nodded and said, "I came here three months ago."
Yang Yan asked: "Where are these chickens going to go?"
Member Li said: "Where are you going? You can go anywhere. The chickens from my chicken farm will be used for tonight's Hundred Chicken Banquet... Hey, where are you going?"
Old Beggar Peng grabbed Yang Yan, flew up, and rushed towards Fugui Gambling House.
Yang Yan knew why Old Beggar Peng was so anxious. He and Old Beggar Peng both thought of the same thing.
"EMI Crowned"!
One rooster comb is not poisonous, but a hundred rooster combs are definitely enough.
This dish is only available to the most distinguished people at the Hundred Chicken Feast.
At the Hundred Chicken Banquet in the wealthy gambling house, there is only one most noble person.
Someone wants to kill Beggar Peng!
It's almost dusk, and the chicken feast is about to begin.
Old Beggar Peng ran extremely fast!Fast!He was running with all his might!
The wealthy gambling house was in front of him, but at this moment, Old Beggar Peng slowed down.
Yang Yan turned around, and Old Beggar Peng's eyes suddenly became dull.
Yang Yan hurriedly said: "Uncle, the Fugui Casino is here. Come in quickly!"
Old Beggar Peng asked suspiciously: "What are you going in for?"
Yang Yan said anxiously: "Someone wants to kill your son Peng Xiaobei!"
Old Beggar Peng frowned: "Where did I get my son? Stop making trouble! Ah, who are you?"
Yang Yan said: "I am Yang Yan! Your brother, Yang Yan! We met in front of the pawn shop, and you taught me the move of Black Tiger Stealing Hearts, the move of Two Dragons Going to the Sea, and the move of controlling the world!"
Old Beggar Peng laughed and said: "How can I control the world? That's nonsense!"
Yang Yan said: "You can do it. You said this trick has made the tiger come down the mountain before!"
Old Beggar Peng said: "Zonghengtianxia doesn't even have the word "tiger" in it, so what does it have to do with the tiger descending from the mountain? It's just nonsense!"
Yang Yan looked at Fugui Gambling House, then at Old Beggar Peng...
He rushed towards Fugui Gambling House.
There’s no time, the chicken feast has begun!
There were two guards standing at the door of the gambling house. They didn't know Yang Yan, but they knew that there were distinguished guests at the Hundred Chicken Banquet and they couldn't neglect him.
Yang Yan rushed and shouted: "The EMI crown is poisonous, someone wants to poison Little Beggar Peng!"
Yang Yan saw the guardian draw his sword, but when they heard this, they hesitated slightly.Yang Yan kept walking and got through the gap, but was caught by the collar!
He made a prompt decision, drew out his dagger and cut off the collar. There was a "hiss" sound, and the collar was torn. Although Yang Yan's steps were hindered, he still rushed forward.
The nurse caught up with him and twisted his arm.Yang Yan shouted: "Help! Killing!"
Shouting this sentence here may not be useful originally.
But it must be useful now.
He knew that there was a person outside Fugui Gambling House, his name was Old Beggar Peng.No matter whether his memory stops at any year between 27 and 87, he is still that kind of person.
A man who would never die without saving his life.
There were two "pops", and he knew it was the sound of the person who caught him being knocked to the ground.He heard Old Beggar Peng's voice, but he didn't hear what he said clearly.
Then he went to the backyard, where the Beggar Clan was heavily guarded.Some people there recognized him and he met Yin Hong.
"Yin Hong, someone wants to harm the chief helmsman! Don't stop me!"
Yin Hong was stunned and did not stop him. No one from Fuzhou Branch stopped him.
Yang Yan rushed down the stairs and arrived at the Broken Formation Site where the Hundred Chicken Banquet was held.
Peng Tianfang sat at the head, holding a spoon, and put a spoonful into his mouth.
Yang Yan shouted: "It's poisonous! Don't eat it!"
Peng Tianfang had already swallowed it when he heard it and frowned.
After all, it was too late...
Yang Yan's legs went weak and he sat down on the ground.Everyone looked at him and the whole place was silent.
It's over. Is it too late?Yang Yan was very upset.
Suddenly, music sounded, attracting everyone's attention.Several girls with their hair tied up like rooster combs, Pingting walked in, one of them was holding a dinner plate in both hands.He heard the people on the stage say: "The next dish is the EMI crown, which is exclusive to our chief helmsman! Under the leadership of the chief helmsman, our Fugui Casino..."
Yang Yan smiled.
※ ※ ※
"You save my life, for personal reasons, I owe you a life." Peng Tianfang said, "But you still have to follow the rules in your family affairs."
Yang Yan nodded and said, "I understand."
Shi Jiu, Wu Huan, and Qin Jiuxian were brought in by the Beggar Clan. They all had faces that Yang Yan would never forget.
The only thing missing was the man in black robe.
The main seat in the execution hall was Xie Yuliang, and the chief guest next to him was Peng Tianfang.
Yang Yan stood in the hall.
Xie Yuliang asked: "Have Shi Jiu, Wu Huan of the Huashan School, and the Yang family of Linchuan been harmed by you?"
Shi Jiu said: "Yes, we are here for revenge."
Xie Yuliang asked again: "Qin Jiuxian, did you witness it at that time?"
Qin Jiuxian nodded.
Xie Yuliang asked again: "Is it them?"
Qin Jiuxian looked at Shi Jiu, and when he saw Shi Jiu's sinister gaze, he didn't dare to speak for a moment.
Xie Yuliang said angrily: "Qin Jiuxian, you are fucking mute!"
Qin Jiuxian nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes! That's right, it's them!"
Xie Yuliang looked at Shi Jiu again and asked: "I haven't heard of the Xianxia sect or Yang Zhengde's family in the past 25 years. I can't find the name of the enemy. What grudge do you have against him?"
Shi Jiu was stunned and said in surprise: "It's impossible, there must be!"
Xie Yuliang said: "Really? Then bring it up."
Shi Jiu was stunned and said: "You know who we are!"
Xie Yuliang cursed loudly: "Who is your mother! I'm asking for your revenge!"
He knew Yang Yan's position in Peng Tianxin's heart at this time, and he must try his best to favor Yang Yan.
Wu Huan said hurriedly: "We are under orders..."
Xie Yuliang roared angrily: "It doesn't matter whose order you are serving, I'm asking you if you have any vengeful complaint! Yes? No? Yes, when and where will it be issued? Why are you talking so much about me! This is the punishment of the beggar gang. The church is not Huashan’s territory!”
Shi Jiu and Wu Huan hesitated to answer.
Finally, the feeling of revenge.At this moment, Yang Yan finally felt comfortable, and the depression he had felt over the past few days was finally released.
Xie Yuliang said: "If you don't have a complaint of enmity, it's a provocation to kill! This is within the territory of the Beggar Clan. According to the criminal law of the Beggar Clan, you have to be executed! Dwarf Tiger Shijiu, do you have a complaint of enmity?"
"Have!"
Yang Yan heard a familiar voice, that northern accent.Although it was only one sentence, he would always remember this accent.
The man in black robe slowly walked into the Beggar Clan's execution hall. There was another person beside him. He had a big face, sharp eyes, and a striking eagle-hook nose that was larger than ordinary people. Yang Yan didn't know who this person was.
But everyone in the Beggar Clan recognized him and stood up at the same time. Even Peng Tianfang stood up and saluted the man.
"See the helper!"
Is this person the leader of the Beggar Clan?Yang Yan thought to himself: "How could he be with my enemy?"
The black-robed guest said: "I have a grudge against you. My palm," he looked around and said calmly, "Huashan Mountain is not made of tin."
Yang Yan finally heard the enemy's name.
Huashan, one of the nine famous mountains.
The leader of the Huashan Sect is Yan Feixi.
(End of this chapter)
Kunlun 85 years winter October
The Wuhu Duanmen Dao is the largest sect in Jiangxi, with tens of thousands of disciples and clansmen, making it the largest sect in the Beggar Clan.
The Peng family tree is sorted according to the horoscope of "the great name will be passed down forever, and the justice will rule the south of the world". Nowadays, most of the younger generation belongs to the generation with the "big name" or the generation with the "big name".Peng Xiaobeg's real name was Peng Tianfang. When he debuted, Peng Laobeg was already in charge of Jiangxi. He was Peng Laobeg's son, so everyone called him Peng Xiaobeg.He is capable and shrewd in his work, which is very different from his father's bold and neat approach.Old Beggar Peng was well-known as a chivalrous man and was highly regarded by the public. He had been a chivalrous and righteous man throughout his life. Before the Third Master Kongtong Qi became famous a few years ago, he was known as the "last great chivalrous man".After he resigned in old age, Peng Xiaobei took over his father's position and became the chief helmsman of Jiangxi. Like his father, he was a disciple of Jiubao.
Beggar Peng raised a fighting cock with colorful purple feathers and a powerful cock, nicknamed "Baizhan".A hundred battles is an exaggeration, but as far as cockfighting is concerned, being undefeated in eight consecutive battles is a record for the wealthy gambling houses. If he hadn't been pecked out of his left eye in the last game, I don't know how long he could have fought.
After Bai Zhan retired, he was raised at the Jiangxi General Helms. Although he was old, his courage was not diminished.It is said that a cat without eyes, coveting delicious food, broke into the helm, but was pecked and scratched by him, and was beaten until the cat ran away with its head in its hands.Beggar Peng dotes on it very much and keeps it with him when working. Even younger beggars have to give way when he encounters it.Privately, everyone called it "Elder Chicken" and joked that this chicken was probably the senior disciple of Qipao, and the sub-rudder had to be respectful when meeting him.
Elder Ji is now in the lobby of Jiangxi General Helm.The person holding Elder Ji was naturally Peng Xiaobei. He stroked Bai Zhan who was lying in his arms with one hand, while looking at the three Beggar Clan disciples in front of him.Those were Xie Yuliang, a seven-bag disciple of Fuzhou branch helmsman, Liang Shen, a six-bag disciple and Yin Hong, a three-bag disciple of the head of the Xingtang Hall.
Standing next to him was Yang Yan.
"So, you didn't continue the investigation?" The brave God of War looked very docile in Peng Tianfang's arms, "It's pretty good. From now on, if any sect comes to the Beggar Clan every now and then to wipe out the family, as long as a seed is left behind, it will be considered as in compliance with the rules."
Xie Yuliang said: "We think...Huashan disciples should not dare to come to the Beggar Clan to cause trouble, for fear that this little brother will be embarrassed..."
Before he finished speaking, Peng Tianfang's voice suddenly rose and he started to curse: "It's hard on your mother! Are you ready to kneel down after hearing about the Huashan Sect?"
Xie Yuliang lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
Peng Tianfang continued: "I went to the Beggar Clan to exterminate the clan and didn't even say hello. Let's forget it. I'm seeking revenge and don't want to make a big fuss. So when you heard this, you just took it for granted that they must be seeking revenge? You took it for granted that you couldn't intervene? I'll just ask. Have you checked the name of the enemy?"
Xie Yuliang looked at Liang Shen, and Liang Shen also lowered his head.
"I can't hear you clearly, what did you say?" Peng Tianfang glared at Liang Shen, "Louder!"
Liang Shen said: "I checked..."
Peng Tianfang asked again: "When did you check?"
Liang Shen said: "Yesterday."
Peng Tianfang asked: "Tell me, what's going on? What kind of hatred? Make it clear!"
Liang Shen said: "I looked through the complaint letters issued by various sects in the past 25 years, and I couldn't find Yang Zhengde, Yang Xiujie, or anything related to the Yang family and the Xianxia sect."
Peng Tianfang said: "No, then I'm relieved. It's okay, everyone goes back to work."
Liang Shen lowered his head and said, "Maybe they used fake names."
Peng Tianfang said: "Maybe tomorrow you won't be the master of the execution hall, but will go to the wealthy gambling house to pick up the escort."
Liang Shen panicked and said: "Chief Commander, I will send someone to arrest them immediately and ask for details!"
Peng Tianfang said: "You didn't even investigate, but you used drag tactics on an orphan. Damn it, are you using it to feed chickens in your conscience?!"
At this point, Bai Zhan suddenly let out a loud cry, as if responding to what Peng Tianfang said, blaming these subordinates.
Peng Tianfang said: "Did you hear that? Damn it, people are worse than chickens! Xie Yuliang, you are the sub-rudder, I have written this down! Liang Shen, you are the leader of the punishment hall, I think you have been here for too long, you should Find another place to relax. I'll transfer you to Xinyu. There are fewer people there and life is more comfortable! In the end, you..."
He looked at Yin Hong and cursed: "Mom, what the hell are you doing! Why are you bringing three disciples here to be scolded? Get out of here!"
The three of them bowed respectfully and left.
Yang Yan stepped forward and said: "General Helmsman, thank you..."
Peng Tianfang interrupted Yang Yan and said, "There's no need to thank me. A few taels of silver are enough for my father to do something for you. If you learn one and a half of his moves, it's not a loss. I'm not standing up for you, it's them." The matter was handled irregularly. When the truth comes to light, it is the beggar gang's honor that they can help you seek justice. If you cannot seek justice, it is your fate."
Yang Yan knew that what he said was true, and still said: "If I hadn't met the senior, I wouldn't have been lucky enough. Yang Yan is still grateful."
Peng Tianfang said: "My father is confused in brain but not in martial arts. It is very difficult to look at him. He likes you. Fugui Gambling House is holding a hundred chicken banquet these two days. You accompany him to watch the excitement. I will send him back to Shaoxing afterwards. ."
Yang Yan nodded and said, "Yes."
Peng Tianfang said: "Remember, don't let him walk along the doorstep."
Yang Yan wondered: "Why?"
Peng Tianfang said: "When you grew up in Jiangxi, have you ever seen beggars along the doorsteps?"
Yang Yan thought for a while and said, "No."
Peng Tianfang said: "The foundation laid by the beggar gang is not what it was a hundred years ago. Only when collecting taxes would they send their disciples to wear beggar uniforms to show that they have not forgotten their roots. The doorstep is an offense to the ancestors. Decades ago It’s forbidden.”
In order to avoid his enemies, Yang Zhengde never liked outsiders visiting. The Yang family had no land and only had to pay household tax in the spring and Ding tax in the autumn. Every season, Yang Zhengde came to pay the tax himself. The Yang family was remote, so Yang Yan I have never seen beggars come to my door to ask for taxes.
Yang Yan asked again: "What about the really poor beggar?"
Peng Tianfang said: "Let them sell tricks. Even if they insert a sign to ask for money, they are not allowed to do it along the doorstep."
Yang Yan thought to himself: "Real beggars cannot be beggars, but fake beggars are really begging for money. Is it true that there are no poor and helpless people in the three provinces of Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi? This rule is really unkind."
If Yang Yan was a simple-minded person in the past, what he saw was what he got, and he would not have any doubts. After these days of polishing, he had become more thoughtful about human relations and sophistication. Although he felt something was wrong, he thought that it was useless to discuss it with Peng Tianfang, so he bowed. After resigning, he went to find Old Beggar Peng.
He knocked on the door of Old Beggar Peng's room, and the man inside agreed.Entering the house, he saw Old Beggar Peng who had just finished his breakfast and was staring at him wonderingly: "Boy, who are you?"
Yang Yan was in a good mood because he was hopeful that his revenge would be repaid, so he smiled and said, "I am Yang Yan. Grandpa, have you forgotten me?"
Old Beggar Peng thought for a while and suddenly said: "Oh, that boy from the Xianxia Sect?" Then he straightened his face and said, "What do you call me grandpa? I'm only 27. It's too much to call me uncle, and I call you grandpa!"
Yang Yan said: "Yes, yes. Uncle, tell me a story. Old Beggar Peng is famous, so he must have a lot to say."
Old beggar Peng said: "That's nonsense, don't you need to work?"
Seeing that Old Beggar Peng was about to go out, Yang Yan hurriedly followed behind him.After leaving the Jiangxi headquarters, he remembered Peng Tianfang's instructions and asked, "Uncle, where are you going? Are you going to follow the door again?"
Old beggar Peng asked: "Where along the doorstep?"
Yang Yan said: "The Beggar Clan has established a new rule, prohibiting people from walking along the doorstep."
Old beggar Peng blew his beard and cursed: "The beggar gang does not allow beggars to beg. Is it decent?"
"I still expect you to answer my question." Yang Yan thought to himself, and said: "It's not inaccurate, the fees are collected door to door wearing beggar's clothes. Alas, in short, you can't ask for money."
Old Beggar Peng said: "Then let's go work as a day escort."
Yang Yan saw that he was going in the wrong direction and hurriedly said: "Yuefeng Gambling House has closed down early."
Old Beggar Peng turned around and cursed: "You kid is talking nonsense again! It has only been open for three years, why did it close?"
Yang Yan remembered that he had heard many stories about Old Beggar Peng at the Jiangxi General Headquarters yesterday, and knowing what was going on, he said: "Later, the Beggar Clan's casino business grew bigger and bigger, and they opened another Fugui Gambling House, and Yuefeng Gambling House became the It was collected and converted into a pawn shop, which is where we met."
Old Beggar Peng thought for a while and said, "It seems that there is such a thing. The casino is converted into a pawn shop, which can be considered a family relationship. When did they move?"
Yang Yan smiled and said: "In another ten or twenty years, when you become the chief helmsman of Jiangxi, you will move."
Old Beggar Peng scolded: "You are a fool! Then go to Fugui Gambling House to find a job!"
Yang Yan followed Old Beggar Peng to Fugui Gambling House. Old Beggar Peng didn't bring any bamboo poles and cloth strips, so he borrowed a venue from someone else. Yang Yan followed him and sat on the floor. He saw lights and colorful decorations around Fugui Gambling House, people coming and going, and many vendors. It's often ten times more lively.
Old Beggar Peng asked the escort beside him: "What day is today?"
"You are confused, today is the feast of a hundred chickens." The escort replied.
Old Beggar Peng looked puzzled and turned to ask Yang Yan: "Today's Hundred Chicken Feast? Why didn't I know?"
This was the second time Yang Yan heard about the Feast of One Hundred Chickens today and asked, "What is the Feast of One Hundred Chickens?"
Old Beggar Peng said: "This is a major event for the Beggar Clan in Fuzhou. Every year on the tenth day of October, there will be a big prize for the broken formation diagram in the gambling house. In the morning, the chicken dealers will display their own fighting cocks, and the people will see which chicken is the most beautiful. You pay ten cents to buy a piece of paper, write your name on it, and throw it into a bamboo bucket in front of the chicken coop. At noon, the votes are drawn, and a ticket is picked out from the bamboo tube with the most votes, and you get three taels of silver. Some people buy five tickets for ten coins. Zhang, use your small to make a big difference."
"Why did you choose the tenth day of October?"
Old Beggar Peng said: "Chicken is the tenth in the zodiac, and ten is one hundred, so it is also called the Hundred Chicken Feast."
"Just choosing which chicken is the most beautiful can make such a big fuss." Yang Yan thought, "But these people are gambling and having fun, there must be other things." So he asked again: "What other activities are there?"
Old Beggar Peng said: "What I just mentioned is not the highlight. In the afternoon, the dealer will select the eight fighting cocks with the best records, fight each other in pairs, and open to the public. The loser will be eliminated, and the winner will be promoted. Normally, you can't play. Gamblers who play the game of Breaking the Formation can participate in the grand event, and the winner in the end is the Kuiji. In addition to the silver reward, there are also peripherals, generous rewards, fame and fortune, so the bookmakers who love to play the game of Breaking the Formation regard the Hundred Chicken Feast as Do great things every year.”
Yang Yan asked: "So these people are here to watch cockfighting?" He thought to himself: "What is the fun of that cruel game?"
Old Beggar Peng said: "If there is a crowd, there will naturally be a business place, and if there is a business place, there will naturally be more crowds. Those selling handles, plasters, snack vendors, and groceries from the north and south, when they gather together, it will be lively."
Yang Yan said: "It sounds like it's still gambling. It has nothing to do with the banquet. It's just a matter of choosing a day to gamble."
Old Beggar Peng laughed loudly and said: "You are half right. It is indeed a day to gamble a lot, but the real banquet of a hundred chickens is at night. At night, the casino closes for the night and a hundred chickens are killed. Making various dishes and entertaining all the big gamblers and working in the casino is a reward for a year's hard work. Casinos and brothels are one of the main incomes of the Beggar Clan, and Fugui Gambling House is the largest casino in Jiangxi. These days, continuously The chief helmsman will come to host it. The most precious thing among them is an 'EMI Crown', which can only be enjoyed by the person with the highest status at the banquet."
"What is 'EMI Crowning'?" Yang Yan thought to himself, "It's just a cockfighting, and the casino can come up with so many tricks. This chicken is also unlucky enough to live in Fuzhou. Not only is it eaten, but it also has to be able to fight. Their names are used to attract people to gather for gambling, and they show off their beauty and flirt with others, so they really put everything to good use."
Old Beggar Peng said: "The most majestic thing about a chicken is the comb. When fighting cocks fight, they love to peck the comb. The comb is the leader, and it also means wealth. Make a hundred chickens into various dishes, only remove the combs, add sesame oil Stir-fry, add sorghum and stew, add ginkgo and honey for seasoning, and the homophonic pronunciation is called 'EMI Fengguan'."
Yang Yan frowned and asked, "Is it delicious?"
Old Beggar Peng said: "Bah, damn it tastes so bad! I'm just looking for a good sign, and it's an exclusive dish, so I have to take two bites to enjoy it."
"There is a diagram to break the formation, why don't you join in the fun?" Yang Yan said, "This is not like my uncle's character."
Old Beggar Peng said: "It's crowded and not interesting. There must be some good work to do today, just wait."
After Yang Yan heard what he said, he sat in front of the stall and chatted with him.Old Beggar Peng had a wealth of experience and could talk endlessly about anecdotes from the world, but he often lost track of what he was talking about and forgot all about the past.Yang Yan listened with great interest, remembering that he used to get along with his grandfather, and his grandfather loved to tell him stories. Now that he listened to Old Beggar Peng telling stories, he couldn't help but feel closer to him.
At noon, the crowd dispersed to have their meals. The tavern was noisy, but the street in front of the gambling house was much quieter.Several gamblers who had won the bet hired one-day bodyguards and left. Yang Yan saw that everyone disliked Old Beggar Peng for his old age and did not ask. He thought to himself: "It's a pity that you don't know the ropes. All the bodyguards here combined are not as powerful as Grandpa Peng." "He turned to look at Old Beggar Peng again, and saw that he was tired of waiting and had fallen asleep on the ground.
It seemed that the whole morning had passed like this. Yang Yan stretched and felt a little bored. Suddenly he heard footsteps approaching quickly. He looked up and saw a servant carrying a box covered with black cloth. He couldn't see clearly. Things inside.
The servant looked around with a panic expression and asked Yang Yan: "Are you two left? Where are the others?"
Yang Yan said: "We went to work separately, and there are only two of us left."
The servant hesitated for a moment and said: "Please help me take this treasure to Mr. Li's house and tell the steward that the two new servants have stopped working and ran away. There will be a feast of hundreds of chickens at Po Zhen Tu's place in the evening. , I haven’t cleaned it up properly, and the shopkeeper of the casino won’t let me go. I’m afraid there are too many people here, so I have to send this red boy back first, and the casino is short of manpower, so I entrusted you with it.”
If you agree to him, you are afraid of causing complications. Yang Yan was about to refuse, when Old Beggar Peng suddenly stood up and said, "Two hundred coins will be delivered to your house."
The servant said: "Old man, don't mess around, I am entrusting this little brother."
Old beggar Peng said: "I am older, less than thirty. Leave it to me. If anything happens, I will pay for it. Who is Mr. Li? Tell me."
When Yang Yan saw the servant looking at him, he thought that he would not be able to defeat Old Beggar Peng, so he had to say: "Leave me an address and I will send it to you."
The servant gave the address and said cautiously: "This red boy is very valuable. You can't afford to pay for it if it's messed up."
Yang Yan didn't know what the red boy was, so he hesitated again after hearing what he said.Old Beggar Peng reached out to take the box and said, "I'll go with him. Don't worry, it'll be fine."
The servant took out half a bucket of copper coins, counted two hundred coins and gave it to Old Beggar Peng, saying: "Go right away, come back right away, and report back to me at the casino. If you don't come back within an hour, I will notify the beggar gang to arrest you."
Old Beggar Peng waved his hand and said, "Come on, come on, go about your business."
Yang Yan was curious and bent down to lift the black cloth, only to see a red-billed golden-winged chicken with purple feathers. He was startled and said, "Is it a fighting cock?"
It turned out to be a chicken cage, about two and a half feet high and more than three feet long, which was much larger than the average chicken cage.
Old Beggar Peng said, "Of course it's a fighting cock. Did you think it was the one in Journey to the West?" He also looked at Red Boy and said, "This chicken is beautiful. It must have participated in the selection in the morning." He looked again. After a while, he said, "It's a pity that he has insufficient energy and dull eyes, so he can't go to the battlefield. There is no hope for the formation breaking map in the afternoon. No wonder he is sent back in a hurry. According to my calculation, this red boy is worth at least 50 taels of silver."
Yang Yan smiled bitterly and said: "People are cheaper than chickens, I'm used to it."
Old Beggar Peng covered the place with black cloth again and said, "It's time to get to work."
Mr. Li's wife's house is about three miles away from Fugui Casino, and an hour is enough for a round trip.Old Beggar Peng was walking with the chicken coop, shaking the chicken coop as he walked.
Yang Yan asked: "Why do you cover the chicken coop with black cloth?"
Old Beggar Peng said: "This is a cockfighting. The most courageous thing about cockfighting is that there are many people here. I'm afraid it will scare it. If it loses its courage, it will never fight again."
Yang Yan saw him carrying the chicken coop and shaking it back and forth a lot, and he couldn't help but worry: "Uncle, aren't you afraid of shaking the chicken cage unconscious if you shake it like this?"
Old Beggar Peng said: "Don't be afraid, this is to train its leg strength. When it is bumpy inside, it has to hold on to the cage or balance its wings. Over time, its legs and wings will become stronger. This is the method of training a fighting cock."
"This is a 50-tael chicken..." Yang Yan said, "I didn't teach you how to practice for it, so don't mess around."
Old Beggar Peng said: "Don't be afraid..." Suddenly, a "dong" sound came from the chicken coop, as if the chicken had hit something.Yang Yan was stunned and looked at Old Beggar Peng.
Old Beggar Peng said sarcastically: "This chicken has not been trained well enough, so it is useless. But after a bump, it's okay, it's okay."
After walking another mile, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, and there was another "dong" sound from the cage, and the red boy bumped into the chicken coop again.
Yang Yan glared at Old Beggar Peng, and Old Beggar Peng smiled sheepishly and said, "Stop shaking, I'll just carry it like a baby."
Yang Yan said: "I'll take it." Regardless of whether Old Beggar Peng agreed or not, he took the chicken coop.
After carrying it for a while, the red boy could still keep his center of gravity steady at first, but then he stumbled and became very unsteady.Yang Yan was holding the chicken coop like he was holding a dragon's egg. He was afraid that it would break as soon as it hit the ground. The more he lifted it, the more panicked he became. Then he said to Old Beggar Peng, "It's better you do it."
"You bastard, are you afraid?" Old Beggar Peng mocked, "What are you afraid of?"
Yang Yan said angrily: "Just mention it, I don't need your help!"
Old Beggar Peng laughed loudly, took the cage and said, "It's not that easy for a fighting cock to die. Look at me, throwing it like this." He raised his arms and threw the chicken cage in a wide circle.Yang Yan was so frightened that he said hurriedly: "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble! I can't afford to pay for it!"
Suddenly he heard a heavy "dong", and Yang Yan saw Old Beggar Peng shake the chicken coop and say "Huh?", his heartbeat accelerated, and he believed that his face must be pale now.
Old beggar Peng put down the chicken coop and lifted the black cloth. Yang Yan looked over from behind and saw that the red boy rolled his eyes, his tongue was sticking out, foam was flowing from the corners of his mouth, his legs were stiff, and a wisp of chicken soul was floating in the air. I don’t know which fairyland or cave to go to.
Yang Yan felt like the world was spinning and his feet were almost weak. He quickly held his forehead and shouted: "Grandpa!"
Old Beggar Peng said angrily: "I just told you that I am not a grandfather, I am only 27!"
Yang Yan said: "It doesn't matter whether you are 27 or 72! You shook Red Boy to death, the Bull Demon King will not let you go!"
Old Beggar Peng said: "Nonsense, you also mentioned this chicken coop! At most, I kill it more, and you kill it less, we all have a share!"
Yang Yan was anxious and angry, and said: "50 taels! How many years do I have to sell myself before I can afford the compensation?"
Old Beggar Peng looked around and saw that there were few people on the road and no one was paying attention. He hurriedly said: "I have a way, come with me!"
"What else can we do?" Although Yang Yan didn't believe it, he thought on second thought, "Grandpa has the ability, maybe he can bring the dead back to life?" Seeing Old Beggar Peng waving to him, he hurriedly followed.
Old Beggar Peng left the city through the side door, went to the woods, and put down the chicken coop.Yang Yan couldn't understand and asked: "Grandpa, what can you do?"
Old Beggar Peng said sternly: "Now that the situation has come to an end, the only option is to destroy the corpse and destroy the chicken! That's right, it was this chicken, and we ate it! When Officer Li found us, we pushed him to the ground and refused to admit it!"
It turned out that this was the method. Yang Yan felt dizzy again and thought to himself: "You are Old Beggar Peng. If you don't admit it, people will take advantage of you. I'm just a piece of shit! It's weird if they don't arrest me to take the blame!"
At this point, I can only plead guilty and see if I can get a lighter sentence.Yang Yan was just thinking to himself when he saw Old Beggar Peng taking Red Boy out of the chicken coop and asked hurriedly: "What do you want to do again?"
Old Beggar Peng said: "Have you ever eaten beggar's chicken? Let me tell you, fighting cocks are so delicious, you won't be able to eat more than a few in your life!"
"I can't even afford to eat a piece of chicken butt! Oh, where are you going?" Yang Yan saw Old Beggar Peng walking deeper into the woods again and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.Old Beggar Peng just ignored him and said, "I'm going to collect firewood. Wash and skin the chicken. Remember to dig a hole and bury the feathers and bones. If you don't see the chicken alive, you won't see the body after it's dead."
"Don't go!" Yang Yan held on with all his strength, but he couldn't match Old Beggar Peng's strength, so he was dragged forward.Yang Yan shouted angrily: "Uncle!"
Hearing his anger, Old Beggar Peng turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yang Yan made up his mind and said to Old Beggar Peng: "As a man, you have to stand upright! What's the big deal with 50 taels? At worst, you can work for him as a coolie for a few years and slowly earn money to pay him back! How can you do such an act of destroying corpses and killing chickens? Chivalrous?" He said it righteously, but when he said "destroying corpses and chickens", he still couldn't help laughing.
Although Yang Yan smiled, his eyes were sincere, staring straight at Old Beggar Peng. "You do have some backbone in your eyes." Old Beggar Peng sighed, "That's right, it's just 50 taels, even if you sell your butt, you have to pay it back!"
"Selling it will only sell my ass..." Yang Yan thought to himself.
The two walked back to the place where Hong Haier's body was buried, only to see a wild dog eating Hong Haier.Yang Yan screamed: "Beast!" He rushed forward.Old Beggar Peng also scolded: "What a waste!"
When the dog saw the two people approaching, its mouth was full of blood and there was something in its mouth, so it ran away.Yang Yan saw that the chicken carcass was missing a piece of chicken butt.Old Beggar Peng praised: "Bite the chicken butt first, you are really an expert in eating!"
Yang Yan was angry and funny, and said, "Are you still praising it now?"
Suddenly they heard another "woof" sound. Yang Yan and Old Beggar Peng turned their heads at the same time and saw that the wild dog that had bitten the chicken's butt suddenly fell to the ground. Its limbs were twitching continuously and foaming at the mouth. It seemed that it was in danger.
Old Beggar Peng smiled and said, "You choked, right? You deserve it!" He raised his foot and stepped over ten feet, landing next to the wild dog in just two steps.
"Grandpa's kung fu is so good!" Yang Yan admired in his heart and followed quickly.But he saw Old Beggar Peng jumping for joy and saying, "It's okay!" Yang Yan asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Old Beggar Peng grabbed Yang Yan's hand and danced: "This dog didn't choke to death, it was poisoned!"
"Poisoned to death?" Yang Yan looked at the dog in disbelief, "Then why are you so happy, uncle?"
Old Beggar Peng said: "He was poisoned by that chicken! So, Red Boy's death has nothing to do with us!"
Yang Yan said happily: "Really or not? Grandpa, please don't try to trick me!"
"Call me uncle!" Old Beggar Peng said, "The dog ate the chicken's butt and was immediately poisoned to death. Of course he was poisoned to death!"
Yang Yan said: "That's not right. Red Boy followed us for two miles before he died. How could this dog become poisonous after walking so few steps?"
Old Beggar Peng said: "Some poisons have different toxicity to different types. Some people are fine after eating them, but dogs will die after eating them. Some dogs are fine after eating them, but people will die after eating them. The toxicity is different, and the time for the poison to appear is also different, Red Boy. Slow onset, this dog has a fast onset.”
Yang Yan said: "Someone wants to poison Hong Boy? Who?"
Old Beggar Peng said: "Well, the winning or losing of each game of breaking the formation is hundreds of taels. It is inevitable that someone will try to do something. If it is not the banker who cannot afford to lose, it is the player who buys the outside."
Yang Yan said: "What should we do now?"
Old Beggar Peng said: "Take the body to Li's house and give them an explanation."
When Yang Yan saw the dog corpse on the ground, he couldn't help but shuddered when he remembered that he had almost eaten the chicken just now.Just as he was frightened, his hand was held by Old Beggar Peng's big hand. Then he felt a strong wind blowing against his face, and his heartbeat skipped half a beat. At this moment, he had landed next to Hong Hai'er.Old Beggar Peng held up Red Boy and took another step, flying away like the wind.
Old Beggar Peng's hands were big and warm, and he pulled him tightly. He jumped up and down, and covered a long distance with every step he took, as if his feet were not touching the ground. Yang Yan was still I was a little panicked, but gradually felt relieved.
After a while, the two of them arrived at Yuan Li's house.Yang Yan knocked on the door, and the servant opened the door and asked what he was doing. Yang Yan said that Hong Haier had been poisoned to death, and the servant quickly informed Li Yuanwai.
Yang Yan had no intention of admiring the luxurious style of Mr. Li's wife's family at the moment. He just wanted to end the matter as soon as possible.When Old Beggar Peng took out Red Boy's body, Li Yuanwai was shocked. He took the body of Red Boy and said angrily, "What's going on?" Yang Yan told the servants of the Li family about entrusting bodyguards to It is said that the red boy died suddenly in the middle, and the analysis must be that he was poisoned to death.
Officer Li was very sorry and said angrily: "This red boy has not been in battle yet, so I just want to show it off at the Hundred Chicken Banquet so that everyone can appreciate its grace. Who has no butthole poisoned him?"
Yang Yan said: "Perhaps he is too powerful and arouses fear. If Mr. Li doesn't believe it, ask a doctor to test it, or try it with a wild dog."
Officer Li looked at Red Boy and suddenly noticed that his hands were covered with blood. He looked again and saw that Red Boy was missing a piece of his butt, and asked, "Where is its butt?"
Yang Yan was immediately speechless.He had just skipped the section where Old Beggar Peng wanted to destroy the body and eliminate traces, but he didn't think of how to cover up the fact that the chicken's butt was bitten by a dog. He was panicked and looked at Old Beggar Peng hurriedly.
Old Beggar Peng looked confused, as if he was deep in thought.
Li Yuanwai's tone increased and he asked in a deep voice: "I said, where is Red Boy's butt?"
Yang Yan hurriedly said: "This... we thought there was something wrong with the cause of Red Boy's death, so we tested the poison and did an autopsy. This autopsy, the chicken cadaver, has to be done from the chicken's butt, so... we cut a piece off. Uncle, is that right? ?”
Li Yuanwai looked suspicious, showing disbelief. Seeing that Old Beggar Peng didn't answer, Yang Yan felt guilty again.
Officer Li glanced at Honghai'er again and said, "The wounds on this butt are uneven. They were obviously bitten. Who bit them?"
Yang Yan said: "I...I bit him. We have to do an autopsy. It's a last resort."
Officer Li said: "You bite the hair before you even pluck it out?"
Yang Yan said: "It's better to wear fur, and it smells less like chicken shit."
Officer Li scolded: "Do you think I am a fool! Did you kill Hong Boy?"
Yang Yan hurriedly waved his hands and said: "No! He was really poisoned to death!"
Member Li said angrily: "You can only look at the chickens at the Hundred Chicken Banquet but not touch them, and there is no food to eat. Who can poison them? You are the only one! Tell me, did you kill my red boy and poison him again?" Fooled through?"
Yang Yan hurriedly said: "Why are we doing this? It doesn't make sense!"
Old Beggar Peng suddenly said: "Yes, that's it! It makes sense, it makes so much sense!"
Yang Yan was surprised when he heard what he suddenly said.Officer Li was furious and shouted: "Come here! Arrest them!"
As soon as he shouted, more than a dozen bodyguards rushed in to arrest Yang Yan.Yang Yan hurriedly said: "Uncle, what are you talking about?"
The dozen or so guards raised their fists and feet, and Old Beggar Peng seemed to suddenly wake up and twisted his body.How could these ordinary nursing homes be the rivals of Old Beggar Peng?Yang Yan only saw fists and feet flying, and more than a dozen guards flying and falling down, wailing and screaming.Immediately, Yang Yan felt his neck tighten, his feet left the ground, and he heard a "crash" sound in his ears. It turned out that Old Beggar Peng jumped up with his collar, and actually broke a hole in the roof.
Officer Li shouted loudly: "Call Coach Zhao over quickly!"
Yang Yan reached the roof and saw Old Beggar Peng looking around and asked, "Uncle, what are you looking for?"
Old beggar Peng said: "Chicken coop! Where is the chicken coop?"
Seeing that he was anxious, Yang Yan pointed to an open space and asked, "Is it that?"
Old Beggar Peng carried Yang Yan and flew away, and a voice came from behind: "The gangsters, please leave!"
Yang Yan looked back and saw a man in green chasing him from behind.He saw the man's hands shaking, and golden light suddenly burst out. Although he couldn't see clearly what the other person threw, he guessed it must be a hidden weapon.
The hidden weapon was so urgent and fast that Old Beggar Peng had to turn around to respond to the enemy.He landed, turned around, caught a golden light, shot it back, and shot down another golden light.The golden light came overwhelmingly, and he shot it back. Every time he shot back, he would hit the opponent with a hidden weapon.Yang Yan couldn't see clearly how his hands were moving, but he could hear the constant sound of impact. The man in green was getting closer and closer, and his direction was becoming more and more tricky. Old Beggar Peng was also shooting faster and faster. Yang Yan lowered his head and saw Money darts all over the floor.When the man in green clothes was about ten feet closer, the last sound suddenly stopped, and the money darts on his body were exhausted.
The man in green's expression changed, he knelt on his knees, kowtowed repeatedly and shouted: "Sir, have mercy on me! Master, have mercy on me!"
Yang Yan later found out that he was the leader of the nursing home of Mr. Li's wife's family. His surname was Zhao. He was a master of eighteen-way shuttle money darts. He could shoot eighteen money darts in one breath with different twists and turns.In the short exchange just now, he fired one hundred and eight money darts in a row, but Old Beggar Peng caught 54 of them and shot down 54 of them. He was so frightened that he vomited out bile and had to kneel down and beg for mercy.
Yang Yan hurriedly shouted: "He is Old Beggar Peng, it's okay!" Seeing that the other party was surprised and disbelieving, he added, "Apart from him, where can such a powerful old man come from in Jiangxi?"
"I'm only 27 years old, don't talk nonsense!" Old Beggar Peng replied.
Yang Yan kept saying yes. Seeing that Coach Zhao already believed it, he hurriedly asked Old Beggar Peng, "What's going on?"
"Red Boy has never been on a battle map, how can he know his strength? It's common for a beautiful person to lose to an inconspicuous one!"
Yang Yan thought of the battle between Xue Lihong and Good Omen and felt it made sense.
"If you don't know, why poison it? Besides, the chicken at the Hundred Chicken Feast has no chance to eat. Red Boy was poisoned elsewhere, and the purpose is not to poison it."
Yang Yan said: "Do you think it was the poison in the chicken coop?"
Yang Yan took a look at the chicken coop. It occupies a very large area and houses not only domesticated fighting cocks, but also some other breeds of unattractive chickens. Then he asked the guest in green: "Isn't this chicken coop only for fighting cocks?"
The guest in green clothes said hurriedly: "My surname is Zhao, just call me Xiao Zhao. Little hero, Mr. Li is the largest chicken farmer in Jiangxi. This is just one of his properties. The No-Maj chicken you eat in Fuzhou, Nine out of ten are from his side."
Old beggar Peng picked up a handful of chicken feed and said to Coach Zhao, "Eat and see."
Coach Zhao didn't know why, so he took a bite as instructed and chewed with a grimace.
Yang Yan thought to himself: Even if Old Beggar Peng wants him to eat chicken shit now, I'm afraid he will do it.
Old Beggar Peng asked: "How do you feel?"
Coach Zhao shook his head and said, "It's not delicious."
Old Beggar Peng frowned again, grabbed a handful and was about to put it in his mouth. Yang Yan quickly stopped him and said, "No, I'll do it! You have such profound skills that you can't try them!"
Old Beggar Peng looked at Yang Yan, felt it made sense, and nodded.
Yang Yan took a small bite of the feed and said after a while: "I don't feel anything, it's strange."
Old Beggar Peng said: "The feed is not poisonous, so where is the poison? And why can't you get along with Mr. Li's wife's chickens?" He then turned to ask Coach Zhao, "Does your master have any enemies?"
Coach Zhao said: "How can there not be a few opponents in the mall? But this chicken farm is very well guarded. Even a master like you can't break in."
There is no reason to break in and poison a chicken specifically, let alone a fighting cock.Yang Yan looked around and suddenly shouted: "Uncle, there is a dead chicken there!"
Old Beggar Peng looked around and saw that the chicken coop was much larger than an ordinary chicken coop. There was only one fighting cock inside, which was already stiff and dead like a red boy.
Coach Zhao said: "Hey, why did he die again? There has been a chicken plague in the chicken coop recently, and the dead ones are all the best and famous fighting cocks."
Old Beggar Peng asked in confusion: "Why are other chickens fine but only useful for cockfighting? Is it a breed relationship? Go and catch a dog!"
Yang Yan suddenly saw a broiler chicken with a bald forehead. An idea flashed in his mind and he asked, "That chicken's comb is missing a piece. What's going on?"
Coach Zhao said: "This fighting cock has a training time, and when the time is up, it will be released for training. These ancestors are more aggressive than ordinary roosters. Sometimes if they are not disciplined, they will peck and hurt other broiler chickens."
Yang Yan shouted: "It's on the comb! Not one chicken, it's all the chickens, all on the comb!"
He screamed incoherently, but Old Beggar Peng immediately woke up, grabbed a chicken, and tore off the comb.The chicken couldn't help but scream in pain. Old Beggar Peng released the chicken, handed the comb to Coach Zhao and said, "Try it!"
Teacher Zhao had a troubled look on his face, and when he was about to refuse, Old Beggar Peng asked, "What did you say your name was?"
Coach Zhao hurriedly said: "I..."
Before he finished speaking, Old Beggar Peng flicked the cockscomb into Coach Zhao's mouth.Coach Zhao couldn't spit it out enough and actually swallowed it.
Old Beggar Peng asked: "How do you feel?"
After a while, Coach Zhao closed his eyes, took a breath, and replied: "It's okay, we can eat this chicken ourselves, it's okay."
Old Beggar Peng said: "It's okay, let's eat more." He caught another chicken, tore off the comb and stuffed it to Coach Zhao.Coach Zhao had no choice but to endure the nausea and swallow it.After eating two or three slices, Old Beggar Peng asked again, "How is it?"
Coach Zhao took a breath and said: "The breath is a little uncomfortable, but...it's not a problem." After a while, he added, "Now think about it, after eating No-Maj chicken these past few days, this kind of situation occasionally happens, but it's not serious. Just don’t take it seriously.”
Old Beggar Peng said: "Only the cock's comb is poisonous. This amount of poison can't kill a human, it can only kill a chicken."
At this time, Li Yuanwai ran over panting and cursed: "What do you two gangsters want to do to my chicken? God damn it, who asked you to come here to harm me?"
Yang Yan said: "Aren't they your servants..." He and Old Beggar Peng looked at each other and suddenly asked: "Are the two servants who went to the Hundred Chicken Feast this morning responsible for feeding the chickens?"
Member Li scolded: "That's right. If they hadn't run away, how could they have attracted you two plague gods!"
Coach Zhao hurriedly explained: "Except for Mr. Li, this old man is the hero Peng Lao Beggar. You must not neglect him!"
Officer Li was startled and looked at Old Beggar Peng with wide eyes, still not believing himself.
Old Beggar Peng asked again: "Are they new here?"
Mr. Li nodded and said, "I came here three months ago."
Yang Yan asked: "Where are these chickens going to go?"
Member Li said: "Where are you going? You can go anywhere. The chickens from my chicken farm will be used for tonight's Hundred Chicken Banquet... Hey, where are you going?"
Old Beggar Peng grabbed Yang Yan, flew up, and rushed towards Fugui Gambling House.
Yang Yan knew why Old Beggar Peng was so anxious. He and Old Beggar Peng both thought of the same thing.
"EMI Crowned"!
One rooster comb is not poisonous, but a hundred rooster combs are definitely enough.
This dish is only available to the most distinguished people at the Hundred Chicken Feast.
At the Hundred Chicken Banquet in the wealthy gambling house, there is only one most noble person.
Someone wants to kill Beggar Peng!
It's almost dusk, and the chicken feast is about to begin.
Old Beggar Peng ran extremely fast!Fast!He was running with all his might!
The wealthy gambling house was in front of him, but at this moment, Old Beggar Peng slowed down.
Yang Yan turned around, and Old Beggar Peng's eyes suddenly became dull.
Yang Yan hurriedly said: "Uncle, the Fugui Casino is here. Come in quickly!"
Old Beggar Peng asked suspiciously: "What are you going in for?"
Yang Yan said anxiously: "Someone wants to kill your son Peng Xiaobei!"
Old Beggar Peng frowned: "Where did I get my son? Stop making trouble! Ah, who are you?"
Yang Yan said: "I am Yang Yan! Your brother, Yang Yan! We met in front of the pawn shop, and you taught me the move of Black Tiger Stealing Hearts, the move of Two Dragons Going to the Sea, and the move of controlling the world!"
Old Beggar Peng laughed and said: "How can I control the world? That's nonsense!"
Yang Yan said: "You can do it. You said this trick has made the tiger come down the mountain before!"
Old Beggar Peng said: "Zonghengtianxia doesn't even have the word "tiger" in it, so what does it have to do with the tiger descending from the mountain? It's just nonsense!"
Yang Yan looked at Fugui Gambling House, then at Old Beggar Peng...
He rushed towards Fugui Gambling House.
There’s no time, the chicken feast has begun!
There were two guards standing at the door of the gambling house. They didn't know Yang Yan, but they knew that there were distinguished guests at the Hundred Chicken Banquet and they couldn't neglect him.
Yang Yan rushed and shouted: "The EMI crown is poisonous, someone wants to poison Little Beggar Peng!"
Yang Yan saw the guardian draw his sword, but when they heard this, they hesitated slightly.Yang Yan kept walking and got through the gap, but was caught by the collar!
He made a prompt decision, drew out his dagger and cut off the collar. There was a "hiss" sound, and the collar was torn. Although Yang Yan's steps were hindered, he still rushed forward.
The nurse caught up with him and twisted his arm.Yang Yan shouted: "Help! Killing!"
Shouting this sentence here may not be useful originally.
But it must be useful now.
He knew that there was a person outside Fugui Gambling House, his name was Old Beggar Peng.No matter whether his memory stops at any year between 27 and 87, he is still that kind of person.
A man who would never die without saving his life.
There were two "pops", and he knew it was the sound of the person who caught him being knocked to the ground.He heard Old Beggar Peng's voice, but he didn't hear what he said clearly.
Then he went to the backyard, where the Beggar Clan was heavily guarded.Some people there recognized him and he met Yin Hong.
"Yin Hong, someone wants to harm the chief helmsman! Don't stop me!"
Yin Hong was stunned and did not stop him. No one from Fuzhou Branch stopped him.
Yang Yan rushed down the stairs and arrived at the Broken Formation Site where the Hundred Chicken Banquet was held.
Peng Tianfang sat at the head, holding a spoon, and put a spoonful into his mouth.
Yang Yan shouted: "It's poisonous! Don't eat it!"
Peng Tianfang had already swallowed it when he heard it and frowned.
After all, it was too late...
Yang Yan's legs went weak and he sat down on the ground.Everyone looked at him and the whole place was silent.
It's over. Is it too late?Yang Yan was very upset.
Suddenly, music sounded, attracting everyone's attention.Several girls with their hair tied up like rooster combs, Pingting walked in, one of them was holding a dinner plate in both hands.He heard the people on the stage say: "The next dish is the EMI crown, which is exclusive to our chief helmsman! Under the leadership of the chief helmsman, our Fugui Casino..."
Yang Yan smiled.
※ ※ ※
"You save my life, for personal reasons, I owe you a life." Peng Tianfang said, "But you still have to follow the rules in your family affairs."
Yang Yan nodded and said, "I understand."
Shi Jiu, Wu Huan, and Qin Jiuxian were brought in by the Beggar Clan. They all had faces that Yang Yan would never forget.
The only thing missing was the man in black robe.
The main seat in the execution hall was Xie Yuliang, and the chief guest next to him was Peng Tianfang.
Yang Yan stood in the hall.
Xie Yuliang asked: "Have Shi Jiu, Wu Huan of the Huashan School, and the Yang family of Linchuan been harmed by you?"
Shi Jiu said: "Yes, we are here for revenge."
Xie Yuliang asked again: "Qin Jiuxian, did you witness it at that time?"
Qin Jiuxian nodded.
Xie Yuliang asked again: "Is it them?"
Qin Jiuxian looked at Shi Jiu, and when he saw Shi Jiu's sinister gaze, he didn't dare to speak for a moment.
Xie Yuliang said angrily: "Qin Jiuxian, you are fucking mute!"
Qin Jiuxian nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes! That's right, it's them!"
Xie Yuliang looked at Shi Jiu again and asked: "I haven't heard of the Xianxia sect or Yang Zhengde's family in the past 25 years. I can't find the name of the enemy. What grudge do you have against him?"
Shi Jiu was stunned and said in surprise: "It's impossible, there must be!"
Xie Yuliang said: "Really? Then bring it up."
Shi Jiu was stunned and said: "You know who we are!"
Xie Yuliang cursed loudly: "Who is your mother! I'm asking for your revenge!"
He knew Yang Yan's position in Peng Tianxin's heart at this time, and he must try his best to favor Yang Yan.
Wu Huan said hurriedly: "We are under orders..."
Xie Yuliang roared angrily: "It doesn't matter whose order you are serving, I'm asking you if you have any vengeful complaint! Yes? No? Yes, when and where will it be issued? Why are you talking so much about me! This is the punishment of the beggar gang. The church is not Huashan’s territory!”
Shi Jiu and Wu Huan hesitated to answer.
Finally, the feeling of revenge.At this moment, Yang Yan finally felt comfortable, and the depression he had felt over the past few days was finally released.
Xie Yuliang said: "If you don't have a complaint of enmity, it's a provocation to kill! This is within the territory of the Beggar Clan. According to the criminal law of the Beggar Clan, you have to be executed! Dwarf Tiger Shijiu, do you have a complaint of enmity?"
"Have!"
Yang Yan heard a familiar voice, that northern accent.Although it was only one sentence, he would always remember this accent.
The man in black robe slowly walked into the Beggar Clan's execution hall. There was another person beside him. He had a big face, sharp eyes, and a striking eagle-hook nose that was larger than ordinary people. Yang Yan didn't know who this person was.
But everyone in the Beggar Clan recognized him and stood up at the same time. Even Peng Tianfang stood up and saluted the man.
"See the helper!"
Is this person the leader of the Beggar Clan?Yang Yan thought to himself: "How could he be with my enemy?"
The black-robed guest said: "I have a grudge against you. My palm," he looked around and said calmly, "Huashan Mountain is not made of tin."
Yang Yan finally heard the enemy's name.
Huashan, one of the nine famous mountains.
The leader of the Huashan Sect is Yan Feixi.
