Qiao Zhenyue looked at Yan Zhuo and murmured the word "love": "Brother Yan means that someone has found the whereabouts of Mr. Luohua and used Mr. Luohua to lure Mr. Wangqing into action?"
Yan Zhuo nodded and said: "Other than that, I can't think of why Mr. Wangqing would help these young people."
"Young people?" Qiao Zhenyue asked in confusion, "How do you know these people are young people?"
Yan Zhuo said: "I'm just speculating, but they should be inseparable. First of all, these people use the pattern of young unicorns, which should have a meaning, implying that they are still young and have the ability to stir up troubles once they grow up.
.Secondly, this hood has a floral fragrance, the floral fragrance of gardenia. The smell of this flower is too strong. Only young people will like this floral fragrance."
Qiao Zhenyue nodded and said, "Brother Yan is still meticulous."
Yan Zhuo said: "These people are also very meticulous. They even left a pair of flying swallow darts here."
Qiao Zhenyue said disdainfully: "I won't believe it. It's such a low-grade alienation plan. You and I drank a cellar of wine last night. Is it possible that you know the art of cloning?"
Yan Zhuo said: "The purpose of this alienation plan is not to make others believe it, but to make people suspicious. My eldest brother confides in me, but it does not mean that everyone in the Beggar Clan will not be suspicious. Three people become tigers, as long as someone talks about it
There will always be people who have a grudge against this."
Qiao Zhenyue locked his eyebrows in Yintang, and his two thick eyebrow peaks were as sharp as steel knives: "I guess who dares to say, brother, the Beggar Clan is in a period of hiring, why don't you join the Beggar Clan and take over the position of deputy leader?
, I feel at ease with you here."
"That's not right, brother." Yan Zhuo shook his head and said, "I am not a disciple of the Beggar Clan. Even if no one suspects it, no one will obey me when I take the position of deputy gang leader. And not only will they not obey me, they will
Arranging elder brother's rumors is terrifying."
"I am the leader of the Beggar Clan, who dares to say bad things about me?" Qiao Zhenyue said angrily.
Yan Zhuo said with relief: "Brother, of course they dare not say bad things about you, but they can talk about you. As soon as Deputy Chief Peng and Elder Wu left, they would feel that if you appointed someone from outside the Beggar Clan to be the deputy chief,
You are showing nepotism and are preparing to break the rules of the Beggar Clan."
"My disciples of the Beggar Clan are united and united, so they will not believe these rumors." Qiao Zhenyue said.
Yan Zhuo shook his head and said: "They will believe it. After all, there are many people in the world who only have ears and mouths, but no eyes and brains. They can't see or think. They can only add fuel to the rumors in their ears."
Say it again from your mouth."
Qiao Zhenyue was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yan Zhuo, smiled, and said: "When you said these principles, you made me feel that Lao Peng was by my side... Forget it, if you don't want to be the deputy gang leader, then you can't be the deputy gang leader, but
You have to stay with me and help me until this matter is investigated."
Yan Zhuo nodded and said: "This is natural. As soon as Jiangzuo's military restriction order came out, the forces of Youqi emerged. Maybe there is some kind of connection between them. I also want to investigate what's going on here.
.”
As soon as Qiao and Yan finished speaking, they heard three "dong dong dong" knocks on the door. The person who came was none other than Shen Tong, the master of the Beggar Clan's Martial Arts Hall.
Shen Tong saw Qiao Zhenyue, and then saw Yan Zhuo beside him. His face was immediately startled, and he said: "Young Master Yan, you are in trouble. The Flying Swallow Dart next to Elder Wu is everywhere in the Beggar Clan.
The news has spread, and many people think that you killed Elder Wu, so why don't you leave Jiangzhou to avoid the limelight."
When Qiao Zhenyue heard this, his face turned red, and he said sternly: "Stop talking, Yan Zhuo was drinking with me last night, he didn't have time to kill Wu Sansheng."
Shen Tong was stunned for a moment, and his face showed the surprise and confusion that only belongs to an honest man: "That's right, then I will go down and tell those disciples who are gossiping about me and tell them to stop spreading such rumors."
Qiao Zhenyue nodded: "Go down and let the brothers focus on catching the murderer and don't listen to these rumors."
Shen Tong nodded, stepped back, and carefully closed the door tightly without leaving a single gap.
"Old Shen is a bit pedantic, but he is not a bad person." Qiao Zhenyue said, "Brother Yan, don't worry about it. I will make it clear to them when I hold a meeting of hall masters in the afternoon."
Yan Zhuo nodded, but he always felt that there was something strange in what Shen Tong said just now. At first, when he first arrived at the Beggar Clan, he always felt that Shen Tong was better than Wu Sansheng, because Shen Tong seemed more easy-going and spoke better. It was also more comfortable, and Wu Sansheng was sharp-tongued and revealed his meanness and cunningness at every turn, but looking at it just now, he always felt that there was something hidden under Shen Tong's honesty.
Qiao Zhenyue saw that Yan Zhuo seemed to be thinking, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Brother, when you hold a meeting of hall masters this afternoon, can I listen secretly in the dark?" Yan Zhuo asked.
Qiao Zhenyue said: "Why are you eavesdropping? You are my brother. I won't hide anything about this gang from you. You just have to listen to me openly."
"That's not what I meant, brother, and don't ask any more questions. I had my own plan for doing this." Yan Zhuo said.
Qiao Zhenyue has always acted openly and honestly. Although he didn't like this sneaky thing, since it was Yan Zhuo who said it, he must have a reason. He said, "It's up to you. When the time comes, you can stick to the wall."
Omi City, Beggars Sifang Hall.
The Sifang Hall is the place where the Beggar Clan discusses matters. Whether it is the general helmsman or the branch helms of the Beggar Clan, they all have this Sifang Hall for discussion. It is said that the origin of the Sifang Hall originally came from "eating Sifang rice". Some say that It is hoped that the disciples of the Beggar Clan can have a bite of food wherever they go. It is also said that the disciples of the Beggar Clan earn a living by eating from the four directions. The purpose of building the temple is to not forget their roots. However, later on, as the Beggar Clan became more powerful, they "eat the four directions." This word was so priceless when it was said that the hall leaders of the Beggar Clan discussed together and added another couplet to the left and right sides of the square hall - Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness and principles guide the four directions; propriety, justice, integrity and virtue are governed by the four directions.
Although this couplet is not so formal, it also shows that the beggar gang is not a beggar gang that begs for a meal, but a beggar gang that is loyal, filial, benevolent, righteous, polite and shameless. However, in Zhou Wantong's words: When the beggars begged for food, they really wanted to beg. Nowadays, these words of loyalty, filial piety and benevolence are not necessarily true of loyalty, filial piety and benevolence. Beggars who do not beg for food have long ago changed their taste.
"The gang leader is here!"
The eight four-bag disciples shouted in unison, and as they shouted, the eight bamboo poles struck the ground, making crisp sounds.
Qiao Zhenyue frowned. He had always been displeased with these false gifts. He was just a beggar, but he was as good as Mr. Qingtian.
He walked past the eight disciples, took three sticks of incense from another disciple, bowed three times to the huge copper bowl made of fine copper in front of him, and then entered the temple.
In the hall, the hall leaders Shen Tong, Hu Beifeng, Ma Rulong, Long Yingtian, and Lu Yucai had been waiting for a long time. When they saw the gang leader arriving, they all stood up and greeted him.
Qiao Zhenyue did not hesitate, and invited several hall masters to sit down. Everyone sat around a large round table, with a brass pot more than two feet wide placed on the table, just for hot pot.
This is also the rule of the Beggar Clan. Eating is the foundation of a beggar's life. Traveling around is just a matter of eating. Therefore, when discussing matters in this square hall, you must always eat while discussing, and you must eat hot pot to gain some harmony. meaning.
Qiao Zhenyue looked at the copper pot in front of him and then at the big copper pot outside. Thinking about the couplets in the Sifang Hall, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The word "loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness" does not include the word "eating".
"Gang leader, do you want to open fire?" Shen Tong asked. Peng Zhen, after Wu Sansheng's death, he is the most powerful among the several hall leaders. As the hall leader of Chuanwu Hall, at least half of the beggar gang has Anyone who has been taught by him in martial arts should call him master. Naturally, such connections are unmatched by other hall masters.
Qiao Zhenyue nodded: "Open fire."
Shen Tong waved his hand, and one plate after another of beef and mutton was brought up. Each piece of the cut beef was red and white and shaped like snowflakes. At first glance, it was the best beef, and the same as above. The mutton is naturally of the highest quality. Besides the beef and mutton, sea cucumber, dried abalone, hare, venison, flying dragon and other delicacies are also on offer. It is really a dazzling array.
Qiao Zhenyue looked at the dishes on the table, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said in a low voice: "Are you guys going to have a banquet? Peng Zhen, Wu Sansheng's bones are not cold yet, we are eating and drinking here like this, and the souls of our brothers are watching in the sky. What about us, can you eat these things?"
All the hall masters were silent when they heard what Qiao Zhenyue said, only looking down at the edge of the table in front of them.
"Gang leader, it is the rule in this Sifang Palace to eat hot pot when discussing matters." Shen Tong said, "This will give everyone the strength to work."
When he said this, several hall masters nodded in response.
Qiao Zhenyue looked at the hall masters who were nodding, and slapped the table with his big hand, causing the cups and saucers to crackle: "The rule is to eat, not to eat delicacies from mountains and seas. Take off the meat and get some green leaves and noodles." You can still eat as much as you want.”
"This...these meat?" Shen Tong asked next.
Qiao Zhenyue rolled his eyes and looked at Shen Tong: "Give this meat to the brothers in Omi City. They have been running around investigating cases these days and need to make up for it."
Shen Tong had a look of embarrassment on his face, but he could only nod in agreement, and asked his men to remove the delicacies and replace them with vegetables and noodles.
When the green vegetable noodles were served, none of the hall masters moved their chopsticks, and some of the hall masters still seemed to be complaining about it.
Seeing this, Qiao Zhenyue directly threw the green vegetable noodles into the pot, tossed it with two chopsticks, fished it out, stuffed it into his mouth before putting it into the bowl, and swallowed it wholeheartedly: "Eat, what are you waiting for? What are you waiting for?" Do you want me to cook it for you?"
As he spoke, he reached out and threw two plates of vegetables and radishes into the pot.
"Eat, eat, eat." Seeing Shen Tong greeting him, all the hall masters moved their chopsticks one after another.
Qiao Zhenyue chewed a raw radish and looked at the reactions of the hall masters in front of him. He vaguely felt a little dangerous - the danger of being ignored.
"Shen Tong, how is the investigation of Deputy Chief Peng and Elder Wu's case going?"
Shen Tong was stunned for a moment and said: "We are still investigating. Our brothers have already spread their wings. As long as they show up again, we will definitely find them."
Qiao Zhenyue said: "Does that mean you get nothing?"
Shen Tong nodded, looking awkward and speechless.
Hu Beifeng glanced at Shen Tong and said, "Gang leader, there was a flying swallow dart placed next to Hall Master Wu's body. This matter may be related to Yan Zhuo. Why don't we arrest Yan Zhuo and question him?"
Qiao Zhenyue's eyes narrowed, making Hu Beifeng shiver: "Brother Yan, you were drinking with me last night. He can't be the murderer. Besides, are you stupid enough not to take the murder weapon away?"
Hu Beifeng said: "Maybe he did it on purpose?"
"Then you mean that he and I killed Elder Wu together last night, right?"
Hu Beifeng lowered his head and did not dare to look at Qiao Zhenyue: "I didn't say that."
Qiao Zhenyue cursed "trash" and looked at Shen Tong who was standing aside: "Elder Shen, please sit down and let's talk about business. The positions of deputy chief, secret hall, financial hall and execution hall are all vacant. Let's talk about the candidates. .”
Hu Beifeng raised his head again and said: "As deputy commander, I recommend Elder Shen."
"What about the Dark Hall, the Financial Hall, and the Punishment Hall? Hall Master Hu, do you want to serve as one of them at the same time?"
Hu Beifeng lowered his head and took a big mouthful of noodles and said vaguely: "No, no, that's not what I meant."
"Stop talking, let me tell you, see if it works, Elder Shen Tong." Qiao Zhenyue said bluntly, "The position of deputy leader has been removed. Among the top ten sects, we are the only ones with the position of deputy leader. , there is no need to keep it. The leader of the Xingtang hall will be taken over by Wu Jinzhong from the Dadan Branch, the leader of the Caitang Hall will be taken over by Peng Youyi from the Later Han Branch, and the Dark Hall will be directly managed by me. Let us talk about this arrangement and have any opinions."
Everyone was speechless until Dharma Protector Tangtang advocated a toast and said: "I have no objection to the arrangement, but the gang leader has made the decision on everything. If you want the Sifang Hall to do anything, just give the gang leader direct orders."
Qiao Zhenyue was stunned. He couldn't refute Zhang Jingjiu's words. He only said: "What I said is a suggestion, not an order. If you have other candidates, you can also propose them."
Behind the wall.
Yan Zhuo couldn't help but sigh as he listened to the conversation among the elders of the Beggar Clan. This Beggar Clan is indeed the largest gang in the world. It has many people, many rules, and many troubles. Without Peng Zhen's assistance, the eldest brother cannot control this group. It is indeed not easy for everyone, but the arrangements made by the elder brother are suitable, and he can't make any other suggestions.
Just as he was thinking this, a force surged from behind him. He turned around and slapped a palm, just to meet the man's palm. The palms of the two faced each other, and the inner energy overflowed instantly, causing the calligraphy and paintings on the wall to churn.
Yan Zhuo looked at the man in front of him. He was dressed in black and had a face covering his face. He had a tall and straight figure, and the callus on the side of his index finger was very obvious: "A monk from Shaolin Temple?"
When the man smiled, he summoned a lot of energy in his hand, as if he wanted to compete with Yan Zhuo. Yan Zhuo took a breath, unwilling to be outdone, and the inner energy of the two of them was flying, and the sound of wind could be heard in their ears.
The man's internal energy accumulated more and more. Gradually, Yan Zhuo felt that his palms seemed to weigh a thousand kilograms. What was even more surprising was that this man did not need to raise his energy to move his energy, as if he could exert huge force with just a few clicks.
"Your internal strength is not weak, why not join us and let's change the world together?" the man said.
