Chapter 165: The First Chapter Fifty-Nine: Shocking Reversal
A disciple of the Beggar Clan passed through the crowd and ran to Qiao Feng. He handed over a secret report.
"Report, there is an urgent military situation."
Qiao Feng subconsciously wanted to pick it up when he saw Elder Xu snatching the information first.
"Qiao Feng, your problem has not been solved yet. You cannot read this information. Master Zhiguang, let's continue. You may be sure that this is the note of Gang Leader Wang."
Zhiguang didn't respond immediately, which seemed a little strange. After a while, he spoke.
"I have been friends with Gang Leader Wang for thirty years. I naturally recognize his notes. The notes in this letter are indeed Gang Leader Wang's handwriting. But the handwriting cannot be used as evidence. It's like Deputy Gang Leader Ma died in
With my own throat-grabbing skills, my martial arts can be imitated, and so can my handwriting. Therefore, a letter alone cannot explain anything."
What Monk Zhiguang said was reasonable and well-founded, and everyone around him nodded secretly. Master Xindao Zhiguang is really a fair and selfless person. What he said is absolutely flawless.
Elder Xu's expression changed slightly. The situation was a little out of control again. Because his original intention was not to find Zhiguang to be a so-called notary. Instead, he used this letter to get Zhiguang to reveal the Yanmen Pass incident that year.
Because Elder Xu already knew that Zhiguang was one of the three survivors that year (actually there was also Zhao Qiansun, but that guy ran away on his own, and others didn't know he was alive).
But what he didn't expect was that after Zhiguang read the letter, he didn't say anything at all. Not only did he not say what happened next as he expected, but he also seemed to have something to say.
"Okay, since Master Zhiguang admits that these are Gang Leader Wang's notes, let's talk about the contents of this letter." Elder Xu naturally would not give up casually and asked further.
Master Zhiguang glanced at Elder Xu and said expressionlessly.
"This letter tells a story about Gang Leader Qiao's life experience. It is said that a group of righteous warriors from the Central Plains martial arts once ambushed a group of Khitan warriors near the rocky beach of Yanmen Pass. After a brutal fight, most of the Khitan warriors were killed.
Samurai, and the enemy leader also jumped off the cliff and committed suicide.
But before he died, he left behind a baby. Although Gang Leader Wang and others hated the Khitans, they could not bear to kill a baby that was several months old. Therefore, they took the baby back and raised him.
Adult. This baby even made him the leader of a beggar gang when he grew up."
As soon as these words came out, Qiao Feng couldn't bear it anymore.
"That's nonsense, Elder Xu. In order to frame me, you came up with such a ridiculous story. You said that I, Qiao Feng, am a Khitan. I, Qiao Feng, was born at the foot of Shaolin Mountain. My father, Qiao Sanhuai, is still alive. You insult me like this.
, if I don’t give an explanation today, I’m afraid you won’t be able to escape the family rules of this sect.”
"Qiao Feng, I don't blame you if you don't know about this. But you have to know that this is a letter written by Gang Leader Wang. The letter also says that you are the descendant of that Khitan master. It's true.
Qiao Feng, a Khitan, I have seen your achievements in the Beggar Clan over the years. But blood and background cannot be faked. There is no doubt that you are a Khitan, so I’m afraid you won’t be able to hold the position of leader of the gang.”
Qiao Feng was furious in his heart and felt the blood all over his body rising.
"I, Qiao Feng, have no grievances against you, and I have always respected Master Zhiguang as a person. Elder Xu, if you want to remove me from my position as gang leader, that's fine. I will give it to you. Why would you fabricate such a lie?
Falsely accuse me.
What on earth did I, Mr. Qiao, do to make you feel sorry for you and make you suffer from me?"
Qiao Feng's accusation was so loud and impassioned that everyone around him was affected by him. But the letter was actually there. For a moment, I really didn't know which side to believe.
But at this time, Zen Master Zhiguang suddenly let out a long sigh.
"Elder Xu, why are you doing this? As the leader of the Beggar Clan, Gang Leader Qiao is the backbone of the martial arts community in the Central Plains. Why do you have to force him to death? You have to know what happened today.
If it is implemented, the Beggar Clan will lose a leader who can make good decisions. The Central Plains Wulin will also lose a giant pillar. How can Elder Xu tolerate this?"
At this time, Quan Guanqing, who had been silent until now, jumped out. It was his best rhetoric.
"How can I bear it? Humph, I am doing justice to the world. Qiao Feng is a good man. I, Xu, admit it. But the blood feud between the Khitan and the Song Dynasty is not so easy to resolve. No matter how good he is, he still has Khitan in him.
human blood.
The wolfish ambition of the Khitan people may reveal his true nature one day. At that time, not only will he not be the pillar of the Central Plains martial arts world, but he may also become a disaster for the Central Plains martial arts community."
These words were extremely inflammatory, using some superficial national sentiments to directly arouse the emotions of a group of clueless fools around them.
But at this time, Zen Master Zhiguang let out a long sigh.
"Amitabha, since the donor is stubborn and stubborn, I have no choice but to tell the truth."
As soon as Zhiguang said these words, Quan Guanqing and Elder Xu suddenly felt bad. What is the truth? Hasn't the truth been revealed?
"What is the truth?" Qiao Feng asked impatiently.
"Amitabha, the truth is, this story, although this letter was indeed written by Gang Leader Wang. But what the world doesn't know is that Gang Leader Wang made a secret agreement with me. After his death, once someone uses this letter to try to overthrow the current
Gang leader, I need to come forward to clarify, because the person who did this must have evil intentions and is very likely to have collaborated with the enemy and treason."
Zhiguang's words not only shocked Qiao Feng, but also Elder Xu and Quan Guanqing. This was different from what they thought, and it was completely different from the news they got. The situation seemed to be changing in another direction.
Running wildly along the road. But they were powerless and could only watch from the side.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Quan Guanqing wanted to say something else. But this time Zhiguang didn't give him a chance and continued directly.
"More than thirty years ago, there was indeed an ambush at Yanmen Pass on the rocky beach. But that battle was actually a mistake. We, a group of martial arts people from the Central Plains, were seduced by a wrong intelligence and ambush and killed a group of innocent people.
.Although that group of people were Khitan, the leader married a Song woman.
When we ambush, they were visiting their parents' families and even brought a child less than one year old with them. The leader of them held a high position in Khitan and was one of the very few ministers dedicated to peace between Song and Liao. During our ambush,
He accidentally killed a group of good people. Whenever I think of this incident, I still can't sleep at night, but I have no choice but to make a big mistake and it is irreversible."
"That child, what did you do to that child?" Qiao Feng asked eagerly.
Zen Master Zhiguang glanced at Qiao Feng and then said.
"When I made a big mistake, I couldn't make another mistake again. So I thought of a way to save the child and secretly sent him back to the Liao Kingdom. He must have grown up now, right?"
Elder Xu and Quan Guanqing were dumbfounded on the spot. They never dreamed that Zen Master Zhiguang, who was famous for his character, would actually tell lies with his eyes open. The key is that what he said was so true that they now I began to doubt the authenticity of the information I received.
I can only say that the most terrifying thing is when honest people tell lies.
"So, that child is not me?" Qiao Feng asked eagerly.
"Of course not. You are from a farmer at the foot of the Shaolin Mountains. This is certain."
Quan Guanqing on the side finally couldn't bear it anymore. He knew that if he didn't speak, not only would all his previous efforts be wasted, but he might not even be able to save his life.
So he interrupted forcefully.
"That's complete nonsense. Anyway, Gang Leader Wang is dead. It doesn't matter what you say about the secret agreement he has with you. Whether it is yes or no, we have no way of knowing. But Gang Leader Wang's secret message is here, you want to rely on one side of the story , just deny the secret belief. Zen Master Zhiguang thinks too highly of himself."
Quan Guanqing is still the same Quan Guanqing, and he gets to the crux of the problem in just one sentence.
But Zhiguang didn't seem to be panicked. Instead, he spoke calmly.
"What I said is true, but one-sided words are indeed not enough to convince the public. However, among the three survivors of the Yanmen Pass Battle, there is one other person who is still alive besides Lao Mon. You might as well listen to what he said."
