Martial Arts: Immortality Begins from The Deer and the Cauldron

Chapter 126 Qiao Feng, who can’t argue

Elder Xu said solemnly: "That's good, Qiao Feng, although you behave like a hero, you can't hide your evil wolf ambition! If you surrender, we can consider giving you a lighter sentence!"

Qiao Feng felt angry in his heart, "Elder Xu, I respect you as a senior, so I am very respectful to you. But what do you mean by this? I, Qiao Feng, have been upright and aboveboard in my life, and I have never conspired to frame others. Why are you alone?" Everyone keeps saying that I am a Khitan and will betray the Beggar Clan?"

Elder Xu became even more angry, "Qiao Feng, let me ask you, where did you get Madam Ma Kang Min, the widow of former deputy gang leader Ma Dayuan, to where did you do it?"

Qiao Feng was shocked. What does Kang Min have to do with me?
  He was extremely confused: "Mrs. Ma Kang Min? I have never seen her recently?"

Elder Xu sneered: "Still pretending? Elder Bai, you asked me to come, why don't you tell the truth about the situation!"

The heroes immediately turned their attention to Bai Shijing.

Bai Shijing is the law enforcement elder of the Beggar Clan. He has always been impartial and selfless. No one in the gang, big or small, has violated the gang rules and punishments. You should be afraid of him when you see him. He is a highly respected and respectable person in the world. In addition, he also has a Identity: Qiao Feng's sworn brother.

"Elder Bai, you have to say something fair for me!" Qiao Feng also trusted Bai Shijing and said loudly.

Bai Shijing took a deep look at him and said, "Gang leader, there are many twists and turns in this process. You'd better do it. I can't help you either!"

As soon as he said this, Qiao Feng's expression suddenly changed, "What do you mean by this?"

Three miles away, Qin Ran looked at the misunderstandings and fights in the apricot forest with a telescope and shook his head slightly. This Qiao Feng was indeed heroic. Unfortunately, he was a Khitan. In this era when the Central Plains dynasty and the Khitans were fighting each other, his end was doomed. It's a tragedy.

Bai Shijing said expressionlessly: "Gang leader, please explain first why you kidnapped Mrs. Ma Kang Min!"

This question was like a thunderbolt from the blue, striking Qiao Feng severely, "What nonsense are you talking about? I have been in Wuxi these days, how could I go to Luoyang and kidnap Mrs. Ma?"

Quan Guanqing immediately sneered: "You can deny what you did in front of me and Elder Bai? Qiao Feng, why didn't I realize you were so good at acting before?"

Qiao Feng was silent. He vaguely felt that there was a big net in the dark, overwhelmingly covering him. He said in a deep voice: "I have been staying in Wuxi for the past few days and have never been to Luoyang. Just based on this How can your words prove that I was the one who kidnapped Mrs. Ma?"

"Qiao Feng, it seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin!" Bai Shijing said expressionlessly: "Come here and bring witnesses."

Soon, a dozen pale-faced disciples of the Beggar Clan who looked like they were seriously injured were brought up. A disciple stepped forward and said: "Elders, I am a four-bag disciple of the chief helmsman. I have a low status. But a few days ago, I saw it with my own eyes. Gang leader Qiao angrily broke into Mrs. Ma’s residence, injured more than ten of me and others in full view of the public, and kidnapped Mrs. Ma!”

The rest of the Beggar Clan disciples all nodded and said yes to testify.

"This is impossible!" Qiao Feng's brows deepened as he listened. He looked around and said loudly: "I don't know where Qiao Feng has offended you all, but he actually came up with such a vicious plan to frame me!"

Elder Xu said in a deep voice: "Indeed, if there are only one-sided words from these Beggar Gang disciples, I certainly cannot conclude that it was you who committed evil and kidnapped Mrs. Ma privately. However, I received the kidnapped Mrs. Ma the day before yesterday and asked the gang in advance to A letter from a close disciple!"

The bad premonition in Qiao Feng's heart became stronger.

Elder Xu took out two letters from his arms, one of which was pink letter paper with Juanxiu fonts written all over it.

Elder Xu glanced at Qiao Feng, then slowly opened his mouth and read loudly: "Mr. Ma, the widow, would like to pay my respects to Elder Xu. My late husband unfortunately passed away, and I have inherited the responsibility of all my uncles to take care of the funeral. The widow sincerely expresses his deepest gratitude."

As he chanted, the faces of everyone in the Beggar Clan gradually became serious.

Everyone knew that Mrs. Ma must have discovered a major clue to her husband's death, so she wrote the letter. However, she did not directly report the gang leader first, but instead wrote to ask Elder Xu for decision-making. There is something really strange about this.

Elder Xu continued to read: "Unfortunately, my late husband passed away, and the little girl could only blame herself for her misfortune. After burying her late husband, when checking his belongings, she unexpectedly found a suicide note sealed with fire paint in his collection of scriptures. The cover reads:

"If Yu dies, this letter will be burned immediately. Anyone who reads it will destroy the remaining body, which will make Yu Jiuquan uneasy." If Yu died unexpectedly, this letter should be handed over immediately to all the elders of this gang to be read together. It is a matter of great importance and must not be mistaken. ’”

When Elder Xu said this, there was a silence in the apricot forest. You could really hear a pin drop. He paused and continued reading:
  "I saw that my late husband wrote solemnly and knew that the matter was of great importance. I immediately went to see the leader of the gang and submitted his suicide note. Fortunately, the leader of the gang went south to Wuxi with the elders at that time and was not in the gang. I was anxious and opened this letter without authorization. Fortunately, I Only then did I know the causes and consequences of my late husband’s death.”

Everyone heard the tone of this letter was different, saying "fortunately" and "lucky" at the same time, and they all looked at Qiao Feng subconsciously.

From all the things that happened tonight, Qiao Feng had already sensed that there was a very important plot against him. When Mrs. Ma said this, he looked calm and thought to himself, "Whatever conspiracy you have, just use it." Okay. Qiao has never done anything wrong in his life. No matter what frame-up or frame-up there is, why should Qiao be afraid?"

Elder Xu continued to read: "I know this letter involves important matters in the gang. Since the gang leader and the elders are not in Luoyang, I was afraid of delaying the opportunity, and I was afraid that gang leader Qiao would find out about this and come to murder the little girl, so I immediately wrote to Elder Xu to ask for help. , submit a letter and ask him to make the decision. Please ask Elder Xu to inform you of the future events." There was a great chaos among the people.

What Mrs. Ma said in her letter was conclusive and pointed directly at Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng shouted angrily: "Elder Xu, are you going to abolish Qiao's position as gang leader just based on this unknown letter?"

Elder Xu slowly and calmly took out another letter and said: "This is Ma Dayuan's suicide note. I saw Dayuan grow up since he was a child, and I can recognize his handwriting very clearly. On the surface of this letter The words were indeed written by Dayuan."

After that, he opened the envelope cover, took out a piece of paper, and said: "But when I looked at this letter, I saw that the handwriting on the letter was strong, but it was not written by Dayuan. I was slightly surprised. Seeing the above paragraph It says "Brother Jianbeard", which is even more strange. Everyone knows,

The word "Jianbeard" is the nickname of the former gang leader Wang of this gang. If he were not a close friend of him, he would not call him that. And gang leader Wang has been dead for a long time, why would anyone write to him? I read this After I wrote the letter, I thought about it for a long time and had doubts in my mind, fearing that something was wrong.

The old man lived a few more years and worked hard to be careful, not to mention that this matter involved the rise and fall of the gang and the reputation and life of a hero. How can you do this presumptuously?"

Elder Xu had a gloomy face and said decisively: "After repeated verifications, I finally made it clear. This letter was actually written by a well-established person to Gang Leader Wang. The letter said:
  Thirty years ago, a hero from the Central Plains received a message that a large number of warriors from the Khitan Kingdom were coming to attack the Shaolin Temple, hoping to seize the martial arts maps that had been hidden in the temple for hundreds of years. So under the leadership of this big brother, twenty-one people and I rushed to the outside of Yanmen Pass and laid an ambush in front of the Rock Valley, preparing to fight the Khitans. "

He continued to read: "Outside Yanmen Pass, in front of the Rock Valley, a wave of Khitan people did come. They were cut into pieces and killed by us and others. But then a young Khitan couple came, and we continued to move forward. , intercepted and killed his wife, and accidentally killed his wife. Unexpectedly, this young man was so powerful that he killed us with corpses all over the ground and rivers of blood. In the end, he jumped off a cliff and committed suicide. Only one child was left behind."

He finally handed over the letter and said: "It was written by the leading brother to Gang Leader Wang. The book strongly discourages Gang Leader Wang from passing on the position of gang leader to Gang Leader Qiao; Gang Leader Qiao may wish to read the details himself."

As he spoke, he handed over the letter.

But before handing it over, Elder Xu suddenly tore off the signature of the letter, kneaded it into a ball, and swallowed it.

Qiao Feng was angry, grabbed Elder Xu and said, "Why did you destroy the evidence? Spit it out and show me what it is?"
  Elder Xu said with difficulty: "You must not let you see this thing. Because this leading brother is the most prestigious person in the world, and he must not be tainted by your affairs."

Although Qiao Feng was angry, there was nothing he could do to him. He had already eaten it. How could it be possible for him to spit it out?
  Qiao Feng had no choice but to take the unsigned letter, read it carefully, and saw another letter attached to the back: "This is Gang Leader Wang's handwriting. You should recognize his handwriting."

Qiao Feng took it and saw the letter written on it:
  "I have ordered the deputy leader of the Beggar Clan's horse, the elders of Chuan Gong, the elders of law enforcement, and all the elders. If Qiao Feng has anyone who is pro-Liao and rebels against the Han, and helps the Khitan to suppress the Song Dynasty, the whole gang will work together to kill him without any mistake. There is no mistake in poisoning. The assassination was all done with impunity, and the person who committed the crime was guilty of meritorious deeds. Wang Jiantong's own handwriting."

That was a personal message from Gang Leader Wang!
  When Qiao Feng saw this, his body swayed, and he was really despairing. He clearly recognized that these lines were indeed written by his mentor Wang Jiantong. In this way, there was no doubt about his life experience.

However, he thought that his mentor had always treated him like a loving father, taught him strictly, and loved himself deeply. Who would have thought that on the day he took over as the leader of the Beggar Clan, he would secretly write this decree, which made him feel sore in his heart and tears welled up in his eyes. , tears dripped little by little on the handwriting of Gang Leader Wang.

Elder Xu said slowly, "Who is responsible for Ma Dayuan's murder? It is difficult to say for sure at this time, but considering that he has been honest and sincere throughout his life, he is poor at words and has no enemies in the world. I really can't think of why anyone would want to do this." take his life,

Is it because he holds something important in his hands that others want to get and are willing to get it? Are others afraid that he will reveal secrets? He ruined something big, so he wanted to kill him and silence him? Now, Mrs. Ma is in trouble again, and I'm afraid there's something to do with it! "

The purpose of these sentences could not be clearer. It pointed out that the murderer of Ma Dayuan was Qiao Feng, and it was Qiao Feng who kidnapped Kang Min. The purpose of his murder was to conceal the evidence that he was a Khitan.

So many iron-clad facts were placed in front of him, one after another, leaving Qiao Feng unable to argue.

Qiao Feng said solemnly: "In this case, I am willing to abdicate and give way to others. I will temporarily give up this position. I will verify everything one by one before pursuing this matter!"

Qin Ran's eyes turned cold, the most exciting part was about to come.

How could the decisive situation he created so painstakingly and with so much difficulty be exactly the same as the plot?
  When the letter arrived in his hands, he had already manipulated it to ensure that it would take effect immediately after it fell into Qiao Feng's hands!

Qiao Feng was about to tear the letter into pieces. But suddenly he saw a faint handwriting flashing across the letter, and his heart moved.

Could there be hidden writing? This kind of handwriting is quite common on the battlefield between the Khitan and the Song Dynasty. As the leader of the Beggar Clan, Qiao Feng has participated in several battles and is quite familiar with these military formation techniques.

He suddenly said: "Come here! Get a bowl of wine!"

　Today's chapter is a bit watery, so let's go big. There will be another chapter later. I won't write much about the Beggar Clan, and there's not much to write about.
