Tianyi

Chapter 4 Blue Clothes (1)

Since Qing Yi came back, the courtyard has become much more lively.

Needless to say, in the courtyard, Lao Che didn't like to move, and Chi Yi liked to move too much. One ran away without a trace, and the other was silent and silent. Except for Xue Yi's occasional sigh when looking at the fallen leaves, there was almost no sound.At this moment, Qing Yi was busy going in and out, blinking his eyes, there were even two more chickens and ducks.

Outside the courtyard, it was a bit alarming. The countryside was far away and the fields were vast. In the past, no birds came. But these days, it was like a fair, with tents of all sizes set up.Horses mingled, sedan chairs dropped, and there was an endless stream of people.Chi Yi smiled and followed Qing Yi's idea to sell the number plates. It was not expensive to sell one a day. It cost ten taels of silver each. Come early and buy early. You are innocent.

Speaking of number plates, there was a big man standing in front of the courtyard gate, looking at the lapel of his clothes with a grimace. There was a bright red peony embroidered on it, which contrasted with the big man's dark face with beard, which was actually a bit funny.

"Wu Jiong from Guanxi, please see the leader of Tianyi Sect." The big man coughed, helpless, and saluted with cupped fists.Qing Yi came out after hearing the sound and saw the peony. She couldn't help but smile. She came forward and touched her jade finger lightly. She picked up a piece of thread and with a little force, the peony disappeared, revealing a red "five". Qing Yi He nodded and said: "Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Chiyi, the narrow-minded ghost, can just embroider a word. What are you doing with a flower?" After saying that, he had retracted his hand, and there was a red thread between his palms. Looking at the big man's lapel, it was already there. nothing left.

Chiyi's voice came from afar: "Why not let these ordinary people see my Tianyi Sect's weaving and embroidery skills?"

Qing Yi shook his head and spat: "I can't find you, my ears are pointed."

Xue Yi smiled slightly, and waited until Qing Yi turned back to the backyard, then bowed to the big man and said, "Is this the deputy leader of the Kansai Double Sword Alliance?"

Wu Jiong's dark face remained calm as he said, "Exactly."

Xue Yi nodded and said: "The Kansai Double Sword Alliance was formed by the alliance between the Long Sword Gang and the Short Sword Gang in the early years. The old alliance leader was highly respected by the public and his rule was strict and fair. It's a pity that selfishness has not been eliminated, and it is said that he is at the head of the alliance. Disciple, come to think of it, something happened to your new alliance leader when he took office and he couldn't suppress it, so I sent you here."

Wu Jiong was horrified and in awe, and he bowed and said: "The master of the sect never leaves home, but he knows the subtleties of the world, as if he were right in front of his eyes, he truly deserves his reputation!"

Xue Yi accepted the greeting lightly and said, "You can tell me, but if someone dies, is it possible for the new alliance leader to be involved?"

Wu Jiong was extremely impressed and replied: "The leader of the sect was right. My new leader took over last month. The left altar was speechless, but the brothers on the right altar were a little dissatisfied. A business happened to happen, so the leader sent the leader of the right altar. He led people to do it, but the matter was not completed, and the leader of the right altar died. The fatal wound was on the back, and it was a long knife wound. As a result, the brothers of the right altar started making noises, saying that the new leader borrowed the knife to kill people, and wanted to Eliminate dissidents. My alliance leader swore an oath of blood on the alliance flag, saying that if the truth of this case could not be found out, he would not take over the alliance flag, and would rather abdicate himself, so he was sent down here."

Xue Yi thought for a while and said slowly: "The left altar has a long sword, and the right altar has a short sword. The old leader was originally the leader of the Long Sword Gang, and his disciple also used the long sword. The two consecutive leaders were both from the left altar, and the right leader was from the left altar. It is inevitable that the altar will not accept it.”

Wu Jiong nodded repeatedly and said: "Sect Master Ming Jian."

"What's going on with that business you call?" Xue Yi's eyes flashed and she asked leisurely.

Wu Jiong blushed and said: "Do I need to say this clearly? In short, there is a escort... However, the martial arts of the escort is not surprising. The master of the right altar is the most powerful in our Double Sword Alliance besides the leader. Master, he brought ten brothers with him, but no one thought that he could not take it down, let alone that he would lose his life by mistake."

"What weapons do escorts use?" Xue Yi asked again.

"Use a gun."

"All the brothers who went there used short knives?"

"No, there are three of them, including me, using long knives." Wu Jiong hesitated for a moment, then answered calmly. "Oh, you followed?" Xueyi looked interested.

"Yes. However, this attack is led by the leader of the right altar. Even though I am the deputy leader, I must obey his orders." Wu Jiong said.

"So, the murderer is among the three of you?" Xue Yi stared at Wu Jiong and said calmly.

"Sect Master..." Wu Jiong's face showed a trace of pain, "Those two people, one is my biological brother and the other is my junior brother, are now being detained in the dungeon of the Alliance Hall. I...we are definitely not the ones who did it! "The last sentence almost jumped out from between his teeth, and blood was already soaking from the corners of Wu Jiong's mouth.

Xue Yi looked at him for a while and then said: "Brothers of the Wu family in Guanxi, although they are members of the bandit alliance, they are from Confucianism. Your ancestors were upright officials. Because they hated the corruption of the government, they could not help their descendants become thieves, but they were strictly forbidden to kill with their own hands. I believe Your words."

Wu Jiong was startled, then his eyes were wet with tears. He barely knelt down in front of Xue Yi and choked out: "The master of the sect knows everything. The brothers in the alliance also know about Wu Jiong's ancestors. Therefore, no one of my brothers really knows him." Suspicious, but the younger brother was... Sect Master, my younger brother joined the alliance late and is not yet an adult. I watched him grow up and he has no different intentions. My brother dares to guarantee with his life that it will never be him. Do it.”

"Your junior brother, his surname is Lan?" Xue Yi asked with a long sigh.

Wu Jiong's eyes widened in disbelief and said, "How does the sect master know?"

Xue Yi did not answer, lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Okay, Tianyi Sect will take over the case, I will ask Chi Yi to go with you. No matter what she asks or who she asks, you have to promise not to be asked. Those who are asked to answer truthfully, if you can’t do it, ask your alliance leader to promise to do it, and I will give you the answer when Chiyi comes back.”

Wu Jiong saluted respectfully and said: "I will obey the order of the sect master!"

It took Chi Yi seven full days to return.Those who came back together were actually a group of people from Hu Lala, who were members of the Double Sword Alliance. They all followed him out of curiosity, wanting to hear the answer as soon as possible.

This time, it was Xue Yi who asked Chi Yi.

"Did you ask all the questions I asked you to ask?"

"Asked."

"Then please tell me in detail."

"Double swords form an alliance. Those who join the alliance to learn kung fu will receive apprentices according to the long sword and short sword factions, but they will all be under the name of the old alliance leader. It is recognized in the alliance that they are the direct disciples of the old alliance leader. There are four, and two use long swords. , two wielding daggers. The two so-called disciples of the daggers were originally direct disciples of the original dagger gang leader. After the merger of the two gangs, the dagger gang leader became the deputy leader of the Double Swords Alliance. He fell ill and died not long after. The direct disciples are under the name of the old alliance leader, and they still practice their own kung fu. Therefore, the only real direct disciples of the old alliance leader are the two who wield long swords."

"The old alliance leader abdicated last month, and the brothers under the alliance elected a new leader. His long-sword leader and short-sword leader both won half of the candidates, and neither one accepted the other. In the end, the old leader decided on the long-sword leader as the leader. Rumor has it that Just say he has selfish motives. In order to convince the public, the new alliance leader appointed the first short-sword disciple to be the leader of the right altar, and the second short-sword disciple to be the leader of the left altar. In addition, the old leader's personal long-sword disciple, who had just reached adulthood, claimed that he was unwilling Take care of things.”

"So, the old alliance leader asked the brothers in the alliance to make another election and appointed Wu Jiong, the old man of the Changdao Gang, as the deputy alliance leader. This decision was the unanimous opinion of the brothers in the alliance, because the deputy alliance leader is actually a false position, which is tantamount to running errands for the alliance leader. He is a person who does chores and has no real power. Wu Jiong is very popular in the alliance and helps anyone with anything. He is a peacemaker, so everyone chooses him." Chi Yi said with a smile.

Wu Jiongzi in the crowd was furious and could not speak.
