In the backyard of Qingyan Mountain Village, Mr. Liang suddenly sat up from the couch and dropped the pipe in his hand. He grabbed the bandit who came to inquire about the news and asked angrily, "Are you sure what you've learned?"
Before the bandits who reported the news came in, Mr. Liang had just finished a set of Tai Chi. After bathing and changing clothes, he lay on the couch and lit a cigarette, hoping to take a few puffs to relieve his fatigue.
The bandit was startled by his ferocious face, lowered his head hurriedly, and replied, "Master, I saw it with my own eyes. The fifth master's body was thrown on the mountain road, along with the bodies of several brothers.
"
Mr. Liang's gray beard was trembling, and his face was very ugly. Gu Xiaowu was his most capable subordinate, and he did not expect to die in the hands of others. This was a blow to the head.
Qingyan Mountain is also a relatively large force in the western region of Guandong Mountain. Apart from the five major forces, he is very powerful, so within a few dozen miles, no one comes to cause trouble on his territory.
Today, someone killed his cannon on his territory. This was like riding on his neck and shit, and he couldn't bear it no matter what.
Thinking of this, Mr. Liang shouted in a deep voice, "Go and notify all the leaders in the village to gather for a meeting in the hall." Then he went to the back to change clothes.
This news has already alarmed the entire Qingyan Mountain, and all the bandits on the mountain are discussing this matter, but some people are regretful while others are secretly happy.
Relying on the favor of the boss, Gu Xiaowu has always been domineering and used to bullying other people. Many people are angry at him and dare not speak out. This time he died, which naturally made these people feel very happy, just setting off firecrackers.
Eating dumplings.
After the order was passed, all the leaders on the mountain gathered together. Everyone wanted to know how the master planned to solve this matter.
The hall was full of people, all seventeen stewards from the mountain were present, except for the arrogant Gu Xiaowu, which filled people's eyes with different meanings.
When everyone had arrived, the sound of footsteps was heard. Mr. Liang walked out of a side door, sat down on the tiger-skin chair in the middle, and looked down, "Everyone in charge, what happened to Xiao Wuzi?"
Do you all know what happened?"
The people below all nodded. If they still don’t know about such a big thing, then they should stop hanging out in the mountains and go straight down the mountains to plant sweet potatoes.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Mr. Liang, sitting on the tiger-skin chair, looked at everyone below with bright eyes and watched their reactions.
He knew that some people were not on good terms with Gu Xiaowu, so he now suspected that it was someone inside the village who was responsible. Otherwise, with Gu Xiaowu's skills, it would not be so easy to kill him.
Everyone in the hall was silent, no one wanted to speak first, because no one wanted to be the one who stood out, otherwise Mr. Liang's anger might be vented on himself.
After waiting for three or four minutes, the hall was still silent, and only people's breathing could be heard.
Mr. Liang sighed. The old man seemed to have aged several years. He spoke slowly, "I didn't expect that as soon as Xiao Wuzi died, the entire Qingyan Mountain became so bloodless. There was no one left who dared to speak."
"Master, I think we should find out how the fifth master died, and we can't let the fifth master die in vain." A gunner finally spoke. He and Gu Xiaowu had a good relationship on weekdays, so he was quite confident.
As for those gunners who were usually at odds with Gu Xiaowu, now they simply kept their mouths shut and said nothing. They knew that whatever they said now was wrong and might bring trouble to themselves.
Someone took the initiative, and things would become easier later on. Some people began to echo, impassionedly condemning the person who killed Gu Xiaowu, and kept saying that they wanted to avenge him.
For a moment, the hall felt like a stage, with clowns appearing one after another and starting funny performances.
Mr. Liang was sitting on the chair. He felt as if he had aged ten years. He was very tired both physically and mentally. The hypocritical performances of these people in front of him made him very sick.
Finally, he waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Okay, you all can go down."
People left one after another, and the hall became quiet. In the end, only Mr. Liang was left sitting on the tiger-skin chair, looking at the empty hall in trance.
The appearance of Gu Xiaowu when he was a child seemed to appear in front of him. At that time, he was only seven or eight years old, with two streaks of runny nose, but there was a stubbornness in his eyes, and it was that stubbornness that attracted him.
As he grew up, he became more and more popular with Mr. Liang, so he handed over all his abilities to him and supported him to become the second-in-command of Qingyan Mountain. He also planned to put this big man in charge in a hundred years.
He is in charge of the stall.
Perhaps because he was too indulgent and pampered, Gu Xiaowu became more and more arrogant and cruel, but he thought that these were irrelevant and did not control him, which is why he got to this point today.
But no matter what, Gu Xiaowu is his godson, Mr. Liang Sanye, and he should be the one to discipline him. It’s not anyone else’s turn, not to mention that he still managed to kill him. This matter must not be let go.
"I must avenge Xiao Wuzi." Thinking of this, Mr. Liang stood up and shouted out of the hall, "Here comes someone."
Two bandits ran in from outside the hall, came closer and saluted Mr. Liang, "Master, what are your orders?"
"Find a few more brothers and go down the mountain to investigate carefully and find out who did it." Mr. Liang ordered. He wanted to find out who did it and then take revenge.
The two men followed the order and went down. Mr. Liang looked at the place where Gu Xiaowu usually sat in the hall, then turned and walked towards his residence at the back. His back looked a little lonely.
After the master gave the order, the people below naturally did not dare to neglect and immediately arranged for several people to go down the mountain to investigate the news, and they quickly found out.
Blind Man Yue had no intention of hiding this matter at all. Instead, he did it in a big way, so it was easy to find out. So the bandits easily asked and found out that Blind Man Yue of Qingtang Village did it.
When the news was reported back to the village, Mr. Liang laughed angrily. He walked back and forth in his residence more than a dozen times with his hands behind his back, "Xu Mazi, Xu Mazi, you really have the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard. Even my people
He dares to move, but he seems to be impatient with life."
There was a roar of thunder in the house, and Mr. Liang immediately issued an order, asking his men to prepare. The next night, they launched a surprise attack on Qingtang Village, captured Xu Mazi, cut open his heart, and offered sacrifices to Gu Xiaowu's soul.
But Mr. Liang didn't know that Xu Mazi had been arrested by Yue Xiazi and was sweating profusely while working in the coolie camp!
