Chapter 1155 Chapter 1096 The Judgment of Life and Death (9)

Chapter 1155 Chapter [-] Judgment of Life and Death ([-])

Unity time.

Above Jiangning Golden Street, there are bright lights.

In the small courtyard behind the golden building, "Wu Ba" Gao Huiyun invited "Measure the Sky Ruler" Meng Zhutao, and some of his cronies were having a banquet here. When a certain news came from their respective subordinates, both of them were a little confused. Surprised, he then waved back a group of subordinates who accompany him to eat and drink, and then let the subordinates quickly withdraw the banquet and put tea.

After a while, the first person to arrive here was the half-white-haired "Tuohe Loose People" Xu Longbiao, followed by "Tian Dao" Tan Zheng. The first sentence they came over was "Something happened", and then they sat down and chatted a few words. , Meng Zhutao jokingly mentioned to Tan Zheng:

"Why didn't Li kid come with Tan Gong?"

Tan Zheng shook his head helplessly and waved his hand: "Meng Gong, don't be so stingy, the Monkey King is young and impatient, but he is a junior after all, you have taught him a lesson, don't take it to heart. But then again, although he is now I am Manichaeus to protect the Dharma, but the official position is still the envoy sent by General Liu Guangshi, and if such a big thing happens, of course he has to discuss with the mission first."

After the chaos in Jinlou earlier, because he failed to catch the murderer, Li Yanfeng took advantage of the theme twice, accusing Meng Zhutao of covering up several of its brothers and sisters.For the first time in the New Tiger Palace, Xu Zhaonan, who came forward as a peacemaker, gave Li Yanfeng a lot of compensation. However, a few days ago, when Li Yanfeng talked about this matter vaguely, he encountered Meng Zhutao. of rage on the spot.

At that time, Meng Zhutao directly invited Li Yanfeng to learn from each other. Li Yanfeng was very talented and young, so he agreed directly.As a result, in that competition, the "Monkey King", who was known for his boxing skills, was beaten to the ground by the "Measurement Ruler" who had abandoned his weapon. Only the audience could understand how strong Meng Zhutao's skills were, and even more so. I understand that this man who is in charge of the criminal law in the power of the wheel-turning king has a tyrannical temperament and cannot be underestimated.

They chatted casually about Li Yanfeng, and after drinking two sips of tea, "Jackdaw" Chen Juefang also hurried here, sat down and drank tea, and said the first sentence: "Mother, something is not right. ."

Meng Zhuotao picked up the teacup and said, "In the afternoon, there was news that someone under your command was in trouble again, someone named... Yang Hanzhou, who ran to cut Yan Tiehe who was in Yanjiabao, this is a big matter. But Xiao, either we have a fight with Shi Baofeng here, or you and I deal with Yang Hanzhou first... Are you familiar with this Yang Hanzhou? Are you a relative?"

Chen Juefang was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand: "This is a trivial matter, and I don't care. What happened to Yiyuan? I received the news that the 'undead guard' was on standby, and Xu Gong directly ordered Yuan Zhan has left the city. I heard that the purpose should be to transfer troops. Currently, the rest of the houses are taking action, how about it? Are we going to fight now for that 'reading club'?"

"No." Tan Zheng shook his head.

Xu Longbiao also shook his head: "I've heard a few news, but I'm not sure. I heard... King Fair has acquiesced in his relationship with the book club?"

"I heard it was vague." Tan Zheng said.

"Me too." Chen Juefang nodded.

"I didn't admit it, why did it suddenly become like this?"

"I received a little more news." Gao Huiyun said, "Xu Gong and Shi Gong joined forces to fight He Wen because of the book club. The idea should be to get the five parties to nod, and then take advantage of the conference to first Work together to clear the hidden danger of the reading club. I don’t know why, He Wen refused to express his position, and even quarreled with Zhou Lunatic. He Wen told everyone that the things written in the reading club’s small book were not unreasonable. Let everyone think about it.”

Everyone was silent for a while, looking at each other, Chen Juefang looked around: "What's the reason?"

No one spoke for a while, Meng Zhutao took a sip of tea: "He Wen is crazy."

"There should be three possibilities." Xu Longbiao, the older and well-informed among the crowd, held the cup and spoke slowly, "The first one, the matter of Xu Gong and Shi Gong borrowing the book club forced Mr. Mr. seized the opportunity, pushed the boat along the way, and put it together... As we all know, although this book club has some radical ideas, its influence on the bottom has already begun to have some scale. The most important thing is, which of the five fair parties? There are people who agree with the idea of ​​this book club, and even if many people do not agree, more or less, they have read their stuff, and then our fair king wants to take advantage of the trend to win over this vote of people and gather them under his command."

"Xu Gong and Shi Gong forced him to make a statement, but he backhanded the corners of the other four houses?" Meng Zhutao frowned.

Tan Zheng smiled instead: "Jiangning Conference has been held four times, and all parties are still restrained. I said before that it will not be like this forever, there will be a day when swords are drawn, but I didn't expect that the first to do it was who was it? arts?"

"It's not that Shi Baofeng didn't make small moves. He didn't attend the meeting yesterday. Today, at Yiyuan's meeting, it seems that he first wanted to make some changes, but he didn't expect it to be so big." Meng Zhutao said This sentence, "Xu Lao continue."

Xu Longbiao nodded: "The first possibility is that the fair king pushes the boat along the water. In the second possibility, we may be able to think that he really thinks the view of the book club is very reasonable, and he just wants to be reasonable?"

After he said this, everyone looked at each other again, and Chen Juefang laughed.Gao Huiyun said, "What could the third one be?"

"The third possibility is nothing more than... Our King of Fairness is really the man behind the establishment of the book club, but this way, when Duke Xu and Duke Shi ask him, he should deny it, the conspiracy person, How can you be so sincere?"

After saying this, everyone smiled, some nodded, and Meng Zhutao on the side shook his head: "These days, I have been more involved with Lao Chen in dealing with the book club, and he is in charge of the arrest. While in charge of the trial and killing, I found that there is a characteristic of this book club... People who hold these booklets and feel that they have joined the book club actually don't know who wrote these things, who is the top one, and also That is to say, whether it is or not, if the King of Fairness stands up and says that he is, some people will really believe him."

His eyes looked at everyone, and the teacup in his hand turned slightly: "If there are five of you sitting here today, if there are members of the book club among you, I can't tell at all... In this way, King Fairness Today's actions are not even calculated by the Quartet..."

Meng Zhutao paused slightly: "If he wasn't the man behind the book club, today's action would be calculated by the five parties including the book club. Think about it, there were rumors in the past that the book club was behind the scenes. , In fact, it was Ningyi's actions against the Fair Party. If this is true, I am the King of Fairness, and I will definitely have a thorn in my back. And his actions left half of them not knowing what to do. "

Everyone was silent, Meng Zhutao said: "And according to Xu Lao, if there is another possibility, if He Wen really created the book club, then his actions today are waving the flag... At the time of the conference, take a stand and say to all the members of the book club... I am here."

His words were low, and when he said this, everyone's expressions were a little dignified, Gao Huiyun said: "He is the king of fairness, and what does he do with a book club? In this way, it will be over sooner or later. Even He Wen's site has been scolded, why, he even plans to create his own countermeasures?"

"It is reasonable to say that it is unlikely." Xu Longbiao said.

"Did He Wen deliberately take advantage of this? While beating the four of us, the layout of the southwest was destroyed at the same time?"

"It's not very likely." Meng Zhutao shook his head, "Speaking happily, in fact, the fair king directly flipped the table against four. If he wasn't crazy, why did he do this? I didn't see a few of us starting to do so. The troops are dispatched, if we really wait until the four of us destroy his family, he is a misunderstanding? On a whim, a joke?"

"..."

The courtyard near the river behind the golden building is brightly lit, and the decorations for tomorrow’s Double Ninth Festival have been hung under the eaves outside. The noise of the guests in front of them is faintly heard, and the room was silent for a while. Xu Longbiao stood up with his hands on his back. Shaking his head lowly.

"Not quite right..."

From the beginning to the end, the feeling of this matter is wrong. If He Wen is really related to the reading club, what he will damage next will be the interests of the other four companies, and even the interests of his own group. It doesn't matter, there is really no need for him to come forward at this time, making Xu, Shi, Zhou, and Gao all nervous, because even if he can receive some of the power of the book club as a fair king, the other four will be damaged here. And with this risk of damage, everyone will fight back.

The Jiangning Conference has only been held for four sessions, and the demands of each other have not been finished yet. He is a leader, why did he stir up this turmoil that was really useless?

At this moment, while the giants under Xu Zhaonan were puzzled by the Jinlou side, well-informed people everywhere in Jiangning City had more or less noticed the changes in the night.The high-level figures of the Fair Party began to get nervous, and some forces even began to show signs of preparing for a fight. At the northern end of the city, Yin Ping and Yue Yun had also been summoned to discuss the news from outside with Zuo Xiuquan, Duan Siheng and others. .

The "Yiyuan" party was not over yet. He Wen, who ignited the fire, and Gao Chang, who had always been on good terms with He Wen in the rumors, also sent orders from inside, asking some of the elites under his command to do a good job. The preparations for the Rush, not to mention Xu Zhaonan, Shi Baofeng and Zhou Shang.

In this matter, no matter what the parties have in mind, once each other's faces are torn apart here, what will break out next will not only be a turmoil that affects Jiangning, but will directly set off a five-party disaster that affects the entire Jiangnan. melee.

At the southwest end of the city, Lu Xian rushed to a seemingly dirty yard under the command of "King Yama", took off his weapons, and passed a few guard posts before whispering to a familiar guard next to him He asked, "It's not quite right... what happened?"

"It's not a small matter, it's said that the fair king is crazy..." The guard whispered, and then said, "Go in, Duke Wei has been waiting for a while."

"How are you feeling?" Lu Xian handed over a small piece of silver.

The other party accepted: "I met a few groups of people and gave me very detailed instructions. They were all troublesome. But I didn't scold anyone."

Lu Xian nodded, entered the inner room, and saw Wei Yunwen, who was standing by the window with his hands behind his back.

"I called you here to confirm with you again what happened in the Wuhu Inn a few days ago." In the room that looked like a study, there was only a dim light from an oil lamp, Wei Yunwen said simply by the window, "At that time, you said that you met someone from the southwest. You should recall it carefully and tell me it again."

"Yes..." Lu Xian nodded, "This matter mainly starts with the Y demon who is suspected of coming from the southwest..."

At this time, the situation in the city outside was becoming tense. Lu Xian knew that Wei Yunwen’s call to ask him about this matter must be meaningful. He recalled the details of the rain curtain that day carefully. After speaking, Wei Yunwen nodded and thought for a moment.

"Five Lakes Inn, there are people in the book club?"

"I dare not make up this matter, it is indeed caught..."

"But you said that day, the connection between the people in the southwest and the Wuhu Inn reading club may not be that big."

"... This matter is too involved, and I just feel that I need to... carefully examine it to be sure..."

Lu Xian was a little hesitant. He was eavesdropping in the rain that day. Among the little information he got, several Black Flag members did not have any special words about the stronghold of the Wuhu Inn. The reading club and the black flag who happened to live there are more like two coincidental but parallel clues - after all, the consequences of this matter are too great, and he does not dare to make any direct assertions.At that time, Wei Yunwen asked him to continue the investigation, but within a few days, he did not find the whereabouts of the few Black Flag members in the city.

In the darkness, Wei Yunwen reached out and scratched his hair.

"You informed Shi Weiyang about the whereabouts of the child without a tutor. Shi Weiyang rushed over excitedly. The people of the Wuhu Inn had a ghost and blocked Shi Weiyang in the front. The kid without tutor escaped from the back, just in time. I met more Southwestern masters, and then we all formed a group, none of the reading club and the black flag were caught, only Shi Weiyang was disheartened... These are all coincidences..."

He grabbed his hair with his hands and muttered to himself, Lu Xian frowned as he recalled.

"After all that day..."

"Do you know what happened today..."

"I'm not very clear, I just heard that Yiyuan is in trouble..."

"He Wen is very strange." Wei Yingwen said, "The other day, Shi Weiyang, who ate a shriveled man at the Wuhu Inn, took advantage of the topic. Yesterday, he went to smash the venue of the Wuhu Inn, arrested a group of people and beat them, saying that it was the stronghold of the book club... ...Since we have your information, of course we know it's nonsense, but Shi Baofeng borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and together with Xu Zhaonan, forced the palace with He Wen and asked him to tell him that he had nothing to do with the reading club, but... He Wen was noncommittal, and his attitude was very Ambiguous... Lu Xian, you are my subordinate who can think about things, why do you say..."

"This one……"

Lu Xian's brain started to run quickly, and he thought of many possibilities for a moment, but before he could speak, Wei Yunwen had turned his head and looked at the courtyard outside the window.

"...Reading clubs use the name of Southwest Orthodox, what they usually say is not important at all, what is important is that what they want to replace is the fair king. As the fair king himself, make fun of this kind of thing... You see, because With this attitude of his, every family has already started to deploy troops and prepare, because if the reading club is really related to him, the entire Jiangnan will be in a fight, and it will not only be one Jiangning city...then he is like this For fearless reasons, I can only think of two..."

"The first one is that He Wen has already left us and formed an alliance with one or two of Gao Chang, Xu Zhaonan, and Shi Baofeng. He feels that he has a certain chance of winning, so he just decided to start a showdown... Oh, Shi Baofeng should It won't be his ally, because today's episode was provoked by Shi Baofeng, so we can also consider talking with Shi Baofeng..."

"As for the second possibility...you were at the Five Lakes Inn that day, at least you were able to confirm that the people from the southwest were coming, so no matter what the reading would be, maybe He Wen had formally negotiated a cooperation with the southwest, and wanted to overturn the table, Aside from the other four, they will do something big, if this is the case... this way..."

Facing the window, Wei Yunwen spoke at a very fast pace, not even sounding cadence, but when he spoke the next few sentences, the tone of his words gradually became lower, and his thoughts and doubts seemed to be immersed in the darkness outside the window.When Lu Xian heard his speculation, his hair stood up.

"It's Southwest... Get involved... They are too far away from here after all..."

Wei Yunwen shook his head and murmured: "The southwest is crazy, Ning Yi is the biggest lunatic, He Wen also came out there, he has a problem with his brain, if not, what kind of fair party did he create... Don't look at their usual times Be normal, for that little thought in your heart, you can do anything..."

Regarding Wei Yunwen's summary of the southwest, Lu Xian didn't know how to answer for a while.

In the dimly lit room, the two of them said a few more words about the recent situation, Wei Yunwen instructed: "...It's not likely that there will be a fight recently, what everyone has to consider is the major event that affects the entire Jiangnan, and it will take a while to deploy troops in various places. Time, the small scenes in the city, just put pressure on He Wen. But I said, He Wen is a lunatic, he has no humanity... In this way, you have seen those black flag people that day, I will transfer you another batch Manpower, work harder and find them as soon as possible."

"..." Lu Xian hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I will take orders from a humble position."

"Then it's up to you."

In the dim light, Wei Yunwen said calmly.

……

The city sank in the night, like a ship carrying stars.

On this night of the eighth day of September, when countless lines were stirred by that vague quarrel and roared faintly under the water, there were also more subtle clues, intertwined in this huge undercurrent, and some clues, It will also be suddenly pushed to the surface by a huge undercurrent.

That night, after finishing the accident in the Wenshui liquor store, the director arranged the injured Yan Tiehe to a suitable hospital, and left the surveillance staff to have dinner with military advisor Wu Chennan before Shi Weiyang brought a group of The entourage returned to Zhonganfang.

As soon as I got home, I found that the atmosphere in the workshop became a little weird.The elite guards are all wearing armor, and the gates on both sides are under martial law, as if it is a prelude to preparing for war.

"...Uncle Jin is so good to me?" Shi Weiyang was a little flattered, "Did you know that I was going to make trouble at night, so I prepared for it? But this scene...isn't necessary..."

Wu Chennan frowned slightly, and after thinking, he said, "Maybe it's the 'undead guard' who are used to being arrogant. They know that Liangzi, who was tied in the afternoon, doesn't want to apologize. He plans to kill him directly at night, and the wicked will file a complaint first?"

The two discussed for a while, without any rules.It was not until he saw Jin Yongsheng in the room in the side courtyard, and after some inquiries, Shi Weiyang probably knew about the huge change that happened in the city.

For the sake of the game he had done before, my father asked the "Fair King" directly at the meeting. The "Fair King"'s answer was not satisfactory, so his family directly put on a fighting posture, and he had to regret the "Fair King". "authority.

"... Pressure on the 'King of Fairness'? My father is so... domineering?"

Shi Weiyang was a little stunned. In the past, his father only taught him how to dance with long sleeves, and even beat him because he was not polite and humble enough.

There were a lot of people in the courtyard where the shopkeepers worked, and Jin Yongsheng, who had just done a lot of dispatching troops, didn't have the energy to explain too much to Shi Weiyang, and only said: "Now it's four families who are putting pressure on one family. "

How arrogant...

Shi Weiyang shook his head with a sigh, then frowned for a while.

"...Then... about Mr. Jin, Erye Yan, it was originally agreed that we would find trouble with the 'undead guard' tonight. If the four of us join forces, then this..."

Jin Yongsheng rubbed his forehead and thought about it.

"Pay attention to your sense of proportion, act like you are, and don't really fight." The old shopkeeper said, "It should be...not in the way."

Shi Weiyang was not interested in the book club. At this time, he only asked himself what he was doing. After getting a positive answer, he left with satisfaction.That night, he brought a group of rogues and slaughtered in a mighty manner towards the station of "The Wheel King" and "The Undead Guard".

Jiangning City at this time, on the surface, was still a warm night before the Double Ninth Festival, but the elites from the five sides in the city had already received orders and acted as a deterrent to each other.Seeing Shi Weiyang's domineering move, almost everyone was shocked.

It's like everyone doesn't understand why He Wen was the first to provoked this conflict, and no one at all can understand. At this moment when both of them are deterring each other and they are on the verge of breaking out, they are the first to raise the flame and pretend to go. The person who ordered the dynamite keg was actually the Shi's home that has always made friends with guests from all over the world...
