"Banfenlou has little contact with the Seven Bandits, but Shi is a certain person who has had several encounters with the Seven Bandits.ΩBiqu ge
The elder of one of them is an old friend of my husband, so we can be considered to be related." Shi Xianqiao responded calmly.
Several people in the venue did not expect Shi Xianqiao to be so outspoken, and they were all secretly upset. It was indeed difficult to deal with.
"This time the seven bandits came to Zhuocheng, I wonder if Master Shi has seen them?"
Shi Xianqiao's eyes flashed and she said loudly: "Master Nie, no matter whether anyone in Dali Division witnessed the seven bandits breaking into the house and stealing, they must be captured first?"
"How did Mr. Shi know that Dali Division had no clear evidence? Furthermore, the Seven Bandits were famous for their thieves. It was difficult for them to escape the Shangzheng Yamen incident. Naturally, they had to be captured and tried again.
If they are indeed innocent, Dali Si will not accuse them unjustly, but for them to run out of Zhuocheng, neither you nor I can bear the responsibility." Nie Qianchou replied coldly.
"What Mr. Nie said is absolutely true. Shi doesn't dare to speculate on the affairs of the Dali Division. It's just that it's been a few days since the fire broke out at Shangzheng Yamen. Will they still stay in the city?"
"Yes." Lu Suifeng said with a cold smile, "Only four of the seven bandits remain, and the whereabouts of three others are unknown. These bandits cannot be found. The rest will not leave Zhuocheng for a while."
Shi Xianqiao smiled, handed the official document in his hand back to Nie Qianchou, and said with a calm smile: "General 6 is a good man."
6 Suifeng grinned and was about to speak when Nie Qianchou interrupted: "Master Shi, you must understand our purpose."
"Well, if the Dali Division has any mission, Banfenlou will definitely help."
Nie Qianchou and the others looked at Shi Xianqiao attentively, trying to discern any clues from Shi Xianqiao's face, but found nothing.
Nie Qianchou shouted coldly: "People in the Ming Dynasty don't do secret things. Master Shi, someone came to report that the remaining four of the seven bandits sneaked into the half-floor building late at night. I don't know if this happened!"
Shi Xianqiao looked surprised and said: "No wonder the two adults came here late at night. It turns out that they suspect that Banfenlou is harboring important criminals from the imperial court. My two adults, please."
Nie Qianchou and Lu Suifeng looked at each other. If it was found out, they would be torn apart. If it was not found out, they would be investigated in the future, and the skin would be peeled off at least.
6 Suifeng smiled stiffly and said: "What do you want?"
"Please go into the building to find out. Shi is offended. I don't know that someone has spread the word that Banfenlou is harboring an important criminal. I have delayed you all here for so long. If others see it, they will think that I am harboring evil intentions." Shi Xianqiao laughed.
Nie Qianchou and the others did not expect Shi Xianqiao to be so upright and fearless of the crowd's attack. They couldn't help but murmur in their hearts. Could it be that their spies saw the wrong person? The seven bandits did not enter the building at night.
Nie Qianchou stared at Shi Xianqiao coldly, secretly guessing whether half of the building was real or not, and did not dare to enter rashly.
Although Ban Fen Lou is just a martial arts sect, he can talk to the emperor. If there is no evidence and no evidence, and the emperor blames him, Dali Si will be left with a lot of trouble.
The expressions of the four of them remained unchanged, but they were all rapidly calculating in their minds whether to enter or not to enter this half of the building.
In front of him, Shi Xianqiao was open and honest, and he seemed to have no intention of hiding it. If the news was wrong, Shi Xianqiao seemed to be modest, but I was afraid that it would be difficult to get in and out of the half-minute building.
6 Suifeng took a step forward and was about to speak when Nie Qianchou shook his head gently. 6 Suifeng swallowed the words he wanted to say.
Nie Qianchou looked at Shi Xianqiao leisurely and said in a harmonious voice: "So the information I received was wrong and I misunderstood Master Shi."
"Haha, if that's the case, the Dali Division and the Duwei are ordered to investigate the case, and the half-level building will naturally follow the government's orders.
You will know at a glance whether there are any imperial convicts harbored in Banfen Building." Shi Xianqiao responded with a smile.
Nie Qianchou laughed and said: "Since Master Shi said no, of course we believe it. If we have offended Mr. Shi, please forgive me and we will leave now.
However, if Master Shi sees anyone among the seven bandits, please don’t forget to inform us."
"It's easy to say, it should be."
"Master Shi, stay here. I will take my leave." Nie Qianchou bowed his hands and was about to leave Banfenlou. He came fiercely, but ended up with no results.
Nie Qianchou didn't seem to take it to heart at all, and still had the same grimace as before.
"Now that you're here, why don't you all drink a cup of hot tea before leaving? It's freezing cold, so you can warm yourself up with the soldiers and soldiers outside the building."
"No need. If you eat a mouthful of imperial food, you will have to take on the important responsibility of guarding the capital. You are not as comfortable as Master Shi. I will bother you again in the future."
Nie Qianchou replied and took the lead in retreating.
6 Suifeng looked unhappy, but when it came to dealing with people in the world, he couldn't compare to Nie Qianchou, an old fox, so he suppressed his doubts and remained silent.
Guan Qihou and Dong Shuyi never showed any signs of hostility from beginning to end. Having established themselves on the martial arts path in Zhuocheng, they naturally knew their priorities.
A few people were about to leave the half-story building when suddenly a figure rushed towards them. When they arrived, they did not shy away. They bowed and said in a deep voice: "The enemy has appeared in East Seventh Alley."
Dong Shuyi's eyes lit up, and he saw that the person coming was a thin, sinister man. It was Ni Jue, who had heard of the news in Shetang. Both Dong Shuyi and Dong Shuyi were the right-hand men that the Zhu family relied on. He asked quickly: "Brother Ni, who is it?"
"The Seven Great Bandits, Gu Tiexin, Crazy Beggar, Ren Tu Diao Cheng and Jade Scholar Jiang Wan."
"What!?" Everyone in the venue was shocked. Shi Xianqiao also changed his face in shock. They didn't know why Gu Tiexin's whereabouts were exposed.
"Dong Qi Lane, just half a building away, where did they come from?" Lu Suifeng asked urgently.
Ni Jue glanced at Shi Xianqiao, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I came from outside. It seemed that I wanted to break into the building at night, but I was discovered by the brothers from the Snake Hall."
"Hand over?" Nie Qianchou opened his eyes with a cold light, sweeping away the bitter look from before, as if a sleeping beast had just woken up.
"Well, thanks to the help of the masters under Mr. Guan Ge, we were able to successfully surround them. However, these four people are not weak in martial arts, so I'm afraid they won't be able to surround them for long."
Guan Qihou secretly cursed, not forgetting to drag Heqi Hui down at this time.
Nie Qianchou took a breath and shouted: "Brother Ni, lead the way and have a look."
Several figures jumped up, as fast as lightning, and rushed towards the East Seven Alleys.
Shi Xianqiao's face was solemn, guessing that Gu Tiexin and others must not want to let Banfenlou get into trouble, but it was too hasty to act in such a hurry.
There was no time to think carefully about the current situation, so Shi Xianqiao and several masters from Banfenlou also rushed to Dongqi Alley with everyone, waiting to see Gu Tiexin before adapting to the situation.
"It seems that the Seven Bandits are desperate and want to use Master Shi to escape. Nie mistakenly blames Master Shi."
Nie Qianchou said slowly to Shi Xianqiao while flying among the houses and pavilions, not slowing down the others at all, and speaking calmly, obviously not trying his best.
However, the faces of the people beside him remained unchanged, and they walked up and down the courtyard walls and buildings as if they were strolling in a garden, all keeping their hands open.
