Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, Xuanyuan Chong walked forward slowly, his eyes swept over everyone one by one, and finally said: "Zhou Hongji was killed by me. If anyone wants to avenge him, just come and take my life!"
When Xuanyuan Chong said these words himself, the gangsters suddenly became commotion.
Although the crowd was in commotion, no one really dared to step forward to take Xuanyuan Chong's life. Although these were all men from Blackwater Village, in the hearts of the bandits over the years, Xuanyuan Chong was more loved and even more prestigious than the leader.
He has already surpassed the great master.
After all, everyone is not blind, and they all know in their hearts that the reason why Montenegro has survived the Liaodong Army's many conquests to this day is not the chief leader, but the invincible second leader.
"Second Master, we brothers don't dare to fight with you." The young leader of Heishui Village, known as Lao Jia, hesitated for a moment, and finally braved the courage to step forward and said, "But it's against the world for you to kill the first master.
Zhiqi, I have to explain it clearly to everyone, why is this happening?"
But Shen Xuangan had already stepped forward and said loudly: "Brothers, let me ask you, is the second head of the family a spy from Heishan? Do you believe that he betrayed Heishan?"
The gangsters looked at each other, and most of them shook their heads.
"Naturally, we don't believe it, the third master, but... the first master has produced real evidence." Lao Jia bravely said: "The fourth master sent people to guard the mountain pass and intercepted the messenger named Pi Chun.
, and found the map from him, that map...!"
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Xuangan interrupted: "Then do you know who ambushed and captured Pi Chun?"
Everyone was stunned, but Shen Xuangan already said in a deep voice: "Come here, bring him up!"
Immediately from behind Shen Xuangan, several big men with knives came forward. These big men were guarding one person. The man was tied up with his head lowered. Shen Xuangan had already raised his finger and pointed at the person and said: "This person's name is Qian Fu, his nickname is Qian Fu."
Mr. Qian, do any of you recognize him?"
All the bandits were staring at that man. Some people already raised their arms and said, "I know him, the third leader. He is the little leader of Baimuzhai!" Immediately, many people claimed to know him.
"That's very good." Shen Xuangan nodded, then looked at Qian Laohan, who was tied up tightly, and said: "Qian Laohan, you can now tell everyone the truth you know.
, don’t hide anything.”
Qian Laohan raised his head and saw the gangsters looking at him like wolves and tigers. He couldn't help but take a step back, but was held tightly by the big man holding a knife behind him.
"Qian Laohan, please explain to everyone what is going on with that map." Lao Jia said sternly, and the other petty bosses also moved forward, like a pack of wolves.
Shen Xuangan glanced at him and said calmly: "Say it!"
Qian Laohan calmed down and finally said: "That map... That map was not found from Pichun. It was... given to me by the boss."
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar.
"Old Han Qian, all the brothers are here. If you lie even one word, we will cut you to death with a thousand knives!" a small leader said sternly.
Qian Laohan said loudly: "I'm not lying. The last night attack failed, the first boss said there was a mole on the mountain, and said the biggest suspect was the second boss, so he asked the fourth boss to arrange an ambush at the intersection of Huangtu Village down the mountain. Look.
Let’s see if Huangtu Village will send someone to contact the officers and soldiers. The fourth master handed over the matter to me, and then... then gave me a map and told me that the map was drawn by the first master himself, so
It's a topographic map of Black Mountain. Whenever you see someone coming down from Huangtu Village, don't give him any chance to speak. Kill him immediately, then take out this map and say you found it from the messenger."
"You mean to say that the First Master and the Fourth Master jointly framed Huangtu Village?" someone yelled angrily.
Qian Laohan said: "It was the fourth master who told me that all this was arranged by the first master. I was also very curious and boldly asked the fourth master why he did this. The fourth master told me that the second master had made great contributions to Montenegro. On the mountain
His prestige is getting higher and higher. If this continues, in everyone's eyes, not only will there be no big boss, but there will definitely be no fourth boss. Everyone will only follow the second boss. He said that the first boss is worried that one day the second boss will take away the top spot.
So... so the night attack failed, and on the pretext that there was a mole in the mountain, the second master was blamed."
When all the gangsters heard this, they were all indignant, but some people still defended Zhou Hongji and said: "But the first boss personally told you that he wanted to frame the second boss?"
"That's not true." Qian Laohan shook his head and said: "How can I see the first master? Everything was ordered by the fourth master. The fourth master gave me the map himself. The fourth master cannot read and can't draw it.
Such a map, so I also believe that the map was made by the big master. I... I am just a small person. Since it is the will of the big master and the fourth master, how can I dare to disobey? I can only follow the wishes of the fourth master.
, ambushed at the foot of the mountain, discovered Pichun coming down the mountain that night, followed him up, and immediately killed him without waiting for him to say anything, then took out the map from his body and said that he had found it from Pichun."
Lao Jia said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute, if this matter was planned by the First Master and the Fourth Master, why did Pi Chun go down the mountain? There was a curfew on the mountain during those days. No one was allowed to move around without authorization at night. Huangtu Village also had a curfew.
Why did he go down the mountain alone?" Having said this, he looked at Xuanyuan Chong, cupped his hands and said, "Second Master, Pi Chun is from Huangtu Village, do you know why he went down the mountain that night?"
Xuanyuan Chong shook his head and did not explain.
"Do you know what it means to kill someone and silence them?" Shen Xuangan sneered: "If Pi Chun really went down the mountain on the orders of the second master, how could Du Zitong give the order to deny him a chance to speak? How could it be possible to capture Pi Chun alive and correct the second master?
Isn't it better? In this way, the witnesses and physical evidence are complete, and the second master's crime cannot be defended. But Du Zitong ordered him to be killed directly, making him unable to speak. Is it possible that you all can't understand the reason behind this? "
After hearing this, several of the little bosses showed signs of sudden realization.
"Third Master, are you saying that someone else instigated Pichun's descent from the mountain that night? Du Zitong was worried that after capturing Pichun alive, Pichun would reveal the person behind it, so he killed him and silenced him?" Lao Jia immediately understood.
Shen Xuangan said lightly: "It seems you are not too stupid."
"Don't think about it." A small leader said bitterly: "All of this was done by Du Zitong behind the scenes. That Pi Chun must have been bribed by Du Zitong. When he went down the mountain that night, he was also under Du Zitong's instructions. Du Zitong was the one who set up the frame.
The second master. Maybe he has nothing to do with the first master behind the scenes, it was all planned by Du Zitong alone."
Shen Xuangan asked back: "Did you know that the master forced the second sister-in-law to death?" Someone on the mountain had shouted that the master had killed the second sister-in-law. Everyone was doubtful and didn't know what happened. At this time, Shen Xuangan said
And, someone immediately asked: "The third boss, the second sister-in-law... the second sister-in-law was killed by the first boss?"
"The fifth master can testify on this matter." Shen Xuangan said sternly: "The second sister-in-law did not believe that the second master betrayed Heishan, so she went up to the mountain and asked the first master to investigate the truth in detail. But the first master not only refused to agree, but also forced the second sister-in-law to death. Could you still
I thought this was done by Du Zitong alone."
Shen Xuangan mentioned Zhou Yuanbao, but it also surprised everyone. Some people were surprised and said: "The fifth...the fifth master's family is on the mountain?"
"I am recovering from my injuries on the mountain." Shen Xuangan sighed and said, "The fifth master blamed himself for not protecting the second sister-in-law, so he cut off his arm to apologize to the second master."
The crowd suddenly became commotion again, but Xuanyuan Chong looked solemn from beginning to end and said nothing.
"If anyone doesn't believe it, you can send someone up the mountain to see the fifth master." Shen Xuangan said calmly: "The second master and I are waiting here. After you meet the fifth master and understand the truth, come down the mountain and tell the brothers. I said
It’s true or false.”
Lao Jia sighed: "Since the third boss said it for this reason, we naturally don't believe it."
"The eldest master and Du Zitong disregarded the righteousness of brothers and framed their brothers and forced their second sister-in-law to death for their own selfish desires. What qualifications do such despicable villains have to lead Montenegro?" Shen Xuangan said in a deep voice: "What happened in this incident in Montenegro?"
I have explained to you the causes and consequences, and you can decide for yourself where to go. With the current situation in Montenegro, both the fifth master and I feel that the second master should clean up the mess. If you are willing to stay in Montenegro, everything must be left to the second master.
Please tell me, if anyone wants to leave, we will not only allow your family members to reunite with you safely, but we will also pay for your travel expenses and let you choose where to go."
The crowd was whispering to each other, and several young leaders gathered together to whisper. After a while, Lao Jia said to Shen Xuangan: "Third Leader, you know that the brothers here have been in the mountains for more than ten years.
It has only been four or five years, and we have already regarded Montenegro as our home. To put it bluntly, if there was another place to go, we would not call Montenegro our home. Now we let everyone choose where to go, and we
Where can we go?" Without hesitation, he faced Xuanyuan Chong, knelt down on the ground, and said respectfully: "Second Master, from now on, I will follow you to the death, up the mountain of swords and into the sea of fire, no matter how hard I die!"
As soon as the old Jia expressed his stance, the other petty bosses were not willing to follow suit. They all stepped forward and knelt down, saying in unison: "I was appointed the Lord of Black Mountain by the second master, and I swear to follow the second master to the death!"
These people are not fools. The first master is dead, the fourth master Du Zitong has withdrawn to Baimuzhai with his men, and the third master and the fifth master have all joined the second master. At this time, there is no other way but to obey the orders of the second master.
Can go.
What's more, in everyone's mind, the second master is the pillar of Heishan, and his ability is much stronger than that of the first master. If the second master serves as the master of Heishan, he will probably be much more prosperous than when Zhou Hongji was there. In this case, it will
There is no reason not to follow the second boss.
Seeing that the leaders had knelt down and sworn allegiance, all the bandits did not hesitate and knelt down one after another. Although those who were far away could not hear clearly what was being said in front of them, the people in front knelt down one after another, so they did not think much and followed suit.
Below, in the darkness of night, the snowy ground was filled with people kneeling in darkness.
