Youjian Rivers and Lakes 梁羽生 9542Words 2018-03-12
A tung coffin is full of visitors; the onyx clothes are like snow, and the plain wax is shaking red.The cries were heavy, and the paper was ashes.Those who wailed loudly were the young children of the deceased, those who sobbed and wept were the young widows, and those who sighed were the hangers-on and the disciples of the deceased.The tragic atmosphere in the mourning hall weighed down everyone's heart like a lead weight. The deceased's surname was Yang Mingmu, and he was a well-known martial artist in Jizhou County. Birth, old age, sickness and death are what people have to go through. If all the good fortune and life return, relatives and friends don't need to mourn like this.But the deceased Yang Mu did not go through the two tests of "oldness" and "sickness". He withered prematurely.Died all of a sudden and out of nowhere.He is only thirty-eight years old this year.

Although he is only thirty-eight years old, because he has already become a famous martial artist, he already has six disciples under his sect. The eldest disciple, Min Chenglong, is twenty-two years old this year. He left his teacher three years ago and has already become the head of the famous Zhenyuan Escort Agency in Beijing.The second disciple, Yue Hao, is 21 years old, and he also completed his teacher last year. Because he is the son of a rich family, he didn't go out to look for work. He lives at home and still often visits the master.The third disciple, Fang Liang, and the fourth disciple, Fan Kui, are both from the same village, and they are seventeen or eighteen years old.Because I live not far away, I come to Master's house to study during the day and go home to stay at night.Only the fifth disciple Song Pengju and the sixth disciple Hu Liankui stayed at Yang Mu's house to learn martial arts. One was fifteen years old and the other was fourteen years old.That night Yang Mu died suddenly, and the disciples present were only the two of them.Yang Mu had no relatives, only a widowed elder sister who was married to the Qi family in Baoding three hundred miles away. The third disciple Fang Liang was ordered by his teacher's mother to rush to Baoding to report the funeral, but he has not yet returned.

Now in the mourning hall, only his young and beautiful wife Yun Ziluo and his only seven-year-old son Yang Hua are the only relatives who wear mourning for Yang Mu. Yang Mu is a famous martial artist, but his wife is a lady, a weak woman, and it is said that she doesn't understand martial arts at all.Eight years ago, Yang Mu returned from a trip to the south of the Yangtze River and brought back his new wife.Others only know that his wife is from Suzhou, from a scholarly family. As for how they met, Yang Mu never mentioned it, so outsiders don't know.The two couples are very affectionate, and no one has ever seen them quarrel in eight years.Jizhou is located in the north of Hebei, and Suzhou belongs to the south of the Yangtze River. People who admire them say that this is "a marriage of thousands of miles linked by a thread".Who would have thought that the sky would be jealous of a beauty, and the good marriage would disappear in an instant!Now it's a mandarin duck with its wings broken, and people are separated from the netherworld!

Yun Ziluo was originally a delicate and timid beauty, but she looked even more pitiful in an elegant plain dress.But when she was touching the coffin and weeping, there was a sneer on the corner of someone's mouth. The man with the sneer on his lips was Yang Mu's second disciple, Yue Hao. He gave his wife a disdainful look.I thought to myself: "You are hypocritical, you can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me." But no one in this mourning hall noticed Yue Hao's sneer.Yun Ziluo is knowledgeable about books and etiquette, she is kind to people, takes care of her husband and children, and is able to care for the elderly and the poor. The villagers respect her very much.It is precisely because of this that although Yang Mu died a bit strangely, everyone thought it was "unpredictable things happen in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings", and no one doubted Yun Ziluo.Yun Ziluo cried so sadly that everyone felt sorry for her.Who doesn't sympathize with her?Yue Hao's sneer, not to mention that no one noticed, even if someone noticed, they would never have thought that his sneer was for the sake of his wife.Suddenly someone shouted: "Master, Master!" A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes staggered away from the crowd and rushed into the mourning hall.Yue Hao was both surprised and happy, and shouted: "Eldest brother, you are back!" This person is Min Chenglong, a senior disciple of the Yang family who works as the head of the Beijing Zhenyuan Escort Bureau.

Min Chenglong cried in a hoarse voice: "Master, I'm late! Master, Master, why don't you let me see you and die?" Kneeling in front of the coffin, he patted the coffin and knocked his head three times. . After kowtowing, Min Chenglong stood up and asked Yun Ziluo with wide eyes, "Master, what disease did my master die of?" Yun Ziluo's face was pale, and she choked and said: "I, I don't know what disease he has. The night before yesterday, he, he suddenly said that it was heartache, and in a blink of an eye, he, his hands and feet were cold and he couldn't speak. gone."

Min Chenglong said: "Master, what will do you leave?" Yun Ziluo said: "No—no." An old man said: "Your master died of a sudden illness, how can you have time to write down the will? You rest, let your mistress rest as well." The implication seems to blame Min Chenglong for not submitting the will at this time. His mistress asked. This old man is Yang Mu's distant cousin. He has benefited from Yun Ziluo and came here to help her with the funeral. Min Chenglong pretended not to know, and said: "I am the eldest disciple of the master, how can I not ask about the arrangements for the funeral of the master?"

Although Uncle Yang is not from the martial arts world, he also knows some martial arts rules. Hearing what he said, he immediately knew what he was concerned about. , It is logical that the head disciple is of course none other than you. It is expected that some of your juniors will not have anyone to compete with you." According to the martial arts rules, the head disciple can be an elder or a young one.But if there is nothing wrong with the big disciples, nine out of ten are all standing leaders.This is almost equivalent to an unwritten rule in martial arts.But because there is no will, Min Chenglong himself is embarrassed to say it.He questioned his wife again and again, just to get her to say this sentence.Now that this sentence is spoken by his master's uncle, although it is not as happy as he wanted, it can be regarded as a sure name.

Min Chenglong told Uncle Yang about the central matter, his face blushed, and he said hastily: "That's not what I mean. Master has not been buried yet, how can we talk about establishing the head?" Yue Hao said: "No, this is also an important matter. As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day, and a family cannot be without a master for a day. The same is true for our martial arts sect. Master is a master of a school, how can no one inherit it? Master brother , we are all willing to recommend you to be the head of the sect, and this ceremony will be held when we take off our filial piety. From now on, we will regard you as our master."

The only one who can compete with Min Chenglong to be the head disciple is Yue Hao, and it is quite beyond Min Chenglong's expectation that Yue Hao is willing to bow his head and be humble.Hearing Yue Hao's words, Min Chenglong felt indescribably comfortable, but he shook his hands and said, "Let's talk about this matter slowly, talk about it slowly. Master is dead, I, I'm really upset, I don't know How to do it." Speaking of this, he paused for a while, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said: "Ah, by the way, Shi Niang, I have another important matter to ask you, Master's Boxing Sutra Where is the sword manual hidden, it must not be lost, please find it and give it to me." He asked his wife for the sword manual of boxing scriptures, obviously he was already a disciple of the master.

Yun Ziluo frowned, as if she was impatient with Min Chenglong's chatter, and also seemed to be distracted and said: "I haven't seen any boxing scriptures and sword manuals by your master, if there is any, it must be in your master's study Among them, go and search for yourself." Min Chenglong felt a little embarrassed. Master's coffin was still parked in the mourning hall, so it seemed a little unreasonable to search for Master's relics by himself.Just as he was hesitating, Yue Hao said: "There are priorities, we disciples should of course keep watch, but master's boxing scriptures and sword manuals should be found out as soon as possible. Master also wants us to help him make his family better. If he loses it, it will be difficult for him to rest in peace under the Nine Springs!"

After more than half an hour, Min and Yue came out, with suspicious expressions on their faces.Min Chenglong said: "Master, I didn't find it in the study. May I ask where is the boxing scripture and sword manual?" Yun Ziluo frowned and said: "You say that like I swallowed it. You also know that I don't know martial arts, so what's the use of it?" Yue Hao said: "My wife is suspicious. I believe that the master brother definitely didn't mean that. He just wanted to trouble my wife to find him." Min Chenglong nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes. That's exactly what I mean." Yun Ziluo didn't answer, but tears dripped from the corners of her eyes.Uncle Yang said: "Now the funeral is about to take place. Onmyoji has chosen this time to ask your mistress to bury your master. I will find it for you tomorrow. We will still be here with your mistress tonight. I don't think it will happen." Someone stole it. Don't worry, you can be here tonight." Min Chenglong blushed, and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that the funeral is going to happen now, and disturbed my wife." But Yue Hao was taken aback, and said: "What, are you going to hold the funeral without waiting for Master's sister and nephew to come back? " Uncle Yang said: "Your master hated red tapes and rituals when he was alive. After his death, he should be buried as soon as possible. When his sister comes back, if she has any gossip, let her ask me." Uncle Yang is an elder relative of the deceased. He came out as the master, even if the disciples of the Yang family had slander, it would be inconvenient for them to speak up. Now all the disciples carried the coffin for the funeral, the cemetery was on the hill behind Yang's house, the tomb had already been dug, and the tombstone was erected, it was written by Yun Ziluo herself in the beautiful official script of Mrs. Wei's body.More than a dozen craftsmen stood there, waiting for the coffin to be put down before the tomb can be "closed". A nine-foot tung coffin and a pile of loess, where the famous martial arts master who once traveled across the rivers and lakes during his lifetime and shocked the north and south were buried here.Yun Ziluo hugged her beloved son, wept bitterly for her husband, and almost fainted beside the tomb. Yue Hao thought to himself: "It's only been two days, and everything is ready, and I'm still in the mood to write the tombstone! Hmph, hum, it's thanks to her that she was able to cry this pair of tears." Unconsciously, he let out a sneer.His sneer in the mourning hall just now was silent, but this time he couldn't help laughing out loud.Although the voice was not loud, Min Chenglong beside him could already hear it clearly.Fortunately, there was a lot of crying at this time, and his laughter was caught in the crying. Except for Min Chenglong, a "careful person", no one else paid attention to him. Min Chenglong looked back in astonishment, Yue Hao said in a low voice: "Master brother, please come to my little brother's house tonight, I have something to tell." He covered his face with his sleeves while speaking, and burst into tears after speaking.Min Chenglong was secretly amused, and thought to himself: "My junior brother is on par with my mistress, and everyone will do fake plays for real." In the middle of the night, Min Chenglong came to Yue Hao's home according to the appointment, and saw that everyone was present except Fang Liang who went to Baoding to report the funeral.Min Chenglong said: "It turns out that you have already made an appointment with your classmates. What do you want to discuss?" Yue Hao said: "It's about Master's sudden death this time, so we need Big Brother to give us advice." Min Chenglong said: "You seem to be a little dissatisfied with Mrs. Shi, aren't you?" Yue Hao sneered and said, "It's not just dissatisfaction, in my opinion, I'm afraid the master was killed by his wife." As soon as this statement came out, everyone was taken aback. The fourth disciple, Fan Kui, was a loyal and honest person, and hurriedly said: "Second senior brother, don't talk nonsense without evidence!" Yue Hao sneered again: "There is no evidence, but clues can be found everywhere. Let me ask you first, have you seen Master's body?" Fan Kui said: "No. I came to Master's house early that morning, and the coffin was already nailed and covered." Yue Hao said: "Here! May I ask why you are in such a hurry to nail the coffin lid and prevent us from seeing the remains?" Fan Kui said: "Uncle Yang was afraid that Master's wife was too sad, so after Master died, he sealed the coffin and didn't want her to see her again. At the same time, he was also afraid that the weather would be hot and there would be a corpse smell. But although I didn't see Master's body, Fifth Junior Brother , Sixth Junior Brother was there that night." Min Chenglong said: "Pengju, Liankui, Master died suddenly that night, did Master tell you to come in right away? How is Master's complexion? Is there any bruising? Is there any bleeding from the seven orifices?" Song Pengju and Hu Liankui were just two fourteen or fifteen-year-old children. They were frightened by the series of questions from the senior brother. The fifth disciple Song Pengju said in a low voice: "I was scared and sad at the time. I didn't see it clearly. Later, Later, Master told us to call Uncle Yang." Sixth disciple Hu Liankui said: "At that time, I only knew how to cry, and I didn't expect to see it clearly." Min Chenglong reprimanded: "Two fools." Yue Hao said: "But this also proves that Master's death is very suspicious. First, none of us have examined Master's body, even they Two ignorant children, my wife has to send them out as soon as possible. Second, it is only three days from the death to the funeral, why should you be so anxious, is it a guilty conscience? Please think about it." Fan Kui said: "Madam is crying so sad, you all saw it, it can't be fake, right?" Min Chenglong sneered and said: "How do you know that this is not a lie, it's done!" But Yue Hao said solemnly: "That's right, it's a fake." Fan Kui asked in amazement, "How do you know?" He thought, "You are not a roundworm in my wife's stomach." Yue Hao said: "Of course I know. This is what Cuihua told me, and it is absolutely true. I asked her secretly, and she said that the teacher's wife only cried in the mourning hall, and when she returned to the room, she didn't have any tears at all. Also, Master's wife eats two bowls of rice every meal, and since Master died, she still eats two bowls of rice every meal these days!" Cuihua is the girl who serves Yun Ziluo, and she is quite pretty.But Yun Ziluo didn't bring it from her natal family, but Yue Hao bought this girl as a gift to his wife when he was visiting his master, in order to please his master. Fan Kui said, "Why does Cuihua only tell you and not me?" Min Chenglong couldn't help laughing when he heard his question, and said: "Fourth Junior Brother, I only know that Fifth Junior Brother and Sixth Junior Brother are confused, but you are even more confused than them! How can you compare with Second Senior Brother? Cuihua has already hooked up with her." Yue Hao said: "Master brother, I made fun of you." Having said that, he couldn't help showing a complacent expression, and continued: "In order to find out the truth, I have to resort to some tricks. To tell the truth, Cuihua was able to persuade me She is obedient and willing to talk to me about anything. She also said, don’t think that Mistress and Master are very affectionate, that’s for outsiders to see. Mistress is depressed behind the scenes, she has never seen Mistress alone I smiled when I was facing the master. I heard my wife secretly crying in the room several times." Min Chenglong pretended to be suddenly enlightened, slapped his thigh, and said: "I understand, my wife must think that Master is a rude martial artist and doesn't know how to be gentle. What's more, she may have another sweetheart!" Fan Kui couldn't help but said: "Brother, until she finds evidence that she murdered Master, Mistress is still Mistress after all. Master is respected like a father, and Mistress is like a mother, Master Brother, what you say, what you say—" He originally wanted to accuse Min Jackie Chan shouldn't slander his wife's innocence, but because of the prestige of his elder brother, he finally dared not speak out.The elder brother stared at him, and then retracted in fright at the words below. Min Chenglong said angrily: "What about my words, don't you feel uncomfortable after hearing it? You want to be Yun Ziluo's filial son, just go ahead and do it, don't pull us. But I'm afraid you are a little older It’s more or less the same to be her and her younger brother.” He originally wanted to say the word “lover”, but when he saw Fan Kui’s frightened expression, he felt that he should not be too frivolous and lose his status as the senior brother in charge. It was changed to "brother". Yue Hao sneered and said, "You keep calling "Master Mistress, Master Mistress" so affectionately, no wonder Yun Ziluo loves you so much." Fan Kui said: "Two senior brothers, don't be angry. The younger brother is not partial to the teacher's wife, but just speaks out with reason. The suspicious things that the second senior brother just said are really just 'clues' at best. Use it as evidence." Min Chenglong lost his temper. Thinking about it carefully, what Fan Kui said was not unreasonable.Fan Kui is honest and honest, and he is very respectful to his elder brother on weekdays. After Min Chenglong lost his temper, he also felt a little sorry. In order to win over him, he laughed and said, "Fourth junior brother, sometimes you are very confused, and sometimes you are very confused. She's also quite young and mature. That's right, if we want to deal with Yun Ziluo, we need to find some excuses for her." Yue Hao pondered for a while, then said: "To prove her crime, there are only two ends, either to find witnesses, or to find physical evidence." Fan Kui said: "If Master was really killed, I will also swear to avenge Master. But now there is no witness or material evidence, so I can't just say that Master's wife murdered me based on Cuihua's pretentious words. ?” Yue Hao said: "It's not difficult to find physical evidence, but you have to take a little risk, in case something goes wrong—" Min Chenglong said: "Second brother, tell me, what kind of evidence are you looking for?" Yue Hao said: "It is Master's body!" Min Chenglong was taken aback and said, "You mean to open the coffin for an autopsy?" Yue Hao said: "Master brother, what do you think?" Min Chenglong said: "I'm afraid it's not big, it's not appropriate. If the master didn't die from poisoning, this joke will become a big one!" Fan Kui said: "It doesn't matter if you make a joke, I'm afraid we will be scolded by the heroes of the world. I can't afford this crime." Yue Hao said: "That's why I said it's not the right time to look for physical evidence, it's better to look for personal evidence first." Min Chenglong said: "Cuihua can at most prove that Yun Ziluo is not sad about Master's death, I'm afraid it can't be regarded as a witness." Yue Hao said: "Of course we can't just look for her!" Min Chenglong was stunned for a moment, and said: "Hearing what you said, it seems that there is another witness. Who is this person, has he ever seen Yun Ziluo murder Master?" Yue Hao said: "I don't know who he is, and I don't know what he has seen. But we can ask him." Min Chenglong was puzzled and said, "What kind of medicine are you selling in this stuffy gourd? Since you don't know anything, how can you find him?" Yue Hao suddenly said: "Fifth Junior Brother, Sixth Junior Brother, there was a robbery on the night of Master's death, do you know about this incident?" Min Chenglong was taken aback, and said in amazement: "Master's house once had a thief, which thief is so bold?" Yue Hao said: "This happened in the first half of the night, and the master died suddenly in the second half of the night." Hu Liankui said: "I slept very deeply that night and didn't know anything." Song Pengju said: "I heard the sound of tiles breaking on the roof. I ran out to look, only to see Cuihua. She laughed at me for being a mediocre person, and I was not surprised. It was just a civet cat running on the roof." Yue Hao laughed and said, "It's because Master didn't allow her to make it public, so she had no choice but to say that. How come you can't even distinguish the voices of civet cats and night walkers, so you just believe her." Song Pengju said: "Why does Master not allow her to tell the truth?" Yue Hao said: "At about three o'clock that night, Cuihua heard an ouch, and a black shadow flashed past her window. After a while, master and wife came out and told her not to panic, saying that a thief had come. Master didn't want to embarrass him, so he just drove him away. As for why she was not allowed to make it public, I don't know." Fan Kui thought to himself: "It's hard to guess." He said: "Maybe this is because the master wants to save the face of the famous martial artist." Min Chenglong said: "That's not right. You haven't fully realized that Master is a man. He has been conceited and famous all his life, and he is most afraid of being underestimated by others. He is not as magnanimous as you imagined. This thief doesn't even know his reputation." It is his taboo to come here to steal him. In order to save his face, he must be severely punished. It is even possible to kill him to silence him. If he couldn't even catch a thief, wouldn't he lose the dignity of a martial artist? And even if he won the magnanimous praise of others, with the master's reputation, the thief would not know it, and it would be disgraceful to say it. I know the master well As a human being, he will never tolerate such a thing." Fan Kui was horrified when he heard this, and thought to himself: "No, no! Master's behavior will never be as terrible as what the master said!" Yue Hao smiled and said: "Please forgive me for using an idiom indiscriminately. This is a hero who sees the same thing. Then, master brother, from your point of view, of course this thief was not set by the master on purpose?" Min Chenglong said: "Unless there are other secrets, even if this thief is so powerful, the master can't hold him." Yue Hao said: "The thief came in the first half of the night, and the master died suddenly in the second half of the night. Master and wife wanted to hide the thief again, all of these things are suspicious." Fan Kui said: "Could it be, are you saying that our master was injured by this thief?" Yue Hao laughed loudly and said: "No, no, where did you think? How could a little thief hurt our master? On the contrary, it was our master who hurt him." Min Chenglong said: "Well, so there may be only one of the two I mentioned just now. It's not that the master can't catch the thief, but there is something hidden in it!" Yue Hao said: "I'm going to find out what's hidden now, and I'm going to ask that thief what he saw that night." Min Chenglong said happily: "So the witness you mentioned is the thief, have you captured him already?" Yue Hao said: "Thanks to the help of Ding Tuozhu of the Huanglong Gang, the thief was found last night. It can't be said that this thief is completely incompetent, his feet have been limped by the master, and he dared to fight with the Huanglong Gang. More than a dozen people fought, and about a few people from the Huanglong Gang were injured by his subordinates, so he was also beaten all over his body. When he was delivered last night, he was dying and could not be interrogated. I hurriedly asked a doctor to treat his injuries. Just now My family told me that he could already eat three big bowls of porridge." It turned out that because Yue Hao's family was rich and he didn't hesitate to spend money, he made friends with many members of the gang. This thief was secretly rewarded by him, so he invited the Huanglong Gang to hunt him down. Min Chenglong said: "He can eat three bowls of porridge, and he must be able to speak. Hurry up and bring him here to cross-examine his statement." Yue Hao ordered to go down, and after a while, two healthy servants escorted the thief.The thief's complexion was sallow, his hands and feet were bruised, and his clothes were stained with blood. He was seriously injured.But a pair of eyes, still piercing.He was injured so badly, the two healthy servants who escorted him didn't feel relieved, they still bound his hands with thick ropes. After Yue Hao told his servants to leave, he personally untied the thief, helped him to sit down, and asked, "What's your name?" The thief said: "I am a thief who is a villain. If I tell my name, I will humiliate my ancestors." Yue Hao said: "It doesn't matter if you don't say your name, tell me, why did you go to my master's house to steal? Don't you know that he is the famous Martial Master Yang in the five northern provinces?" The thief said: "I don't know!" Looking at the situation, he was not willing to answer Yue Hao's question at all. Yue Hao said softly: "As long as you are willing to tell the truth and don't hide it, I will let you go." The thief said, "What do you want me to say?" Yue Hao said: "Did you see anything at my master's house that night?" The thief said: "I didn't see anyone, so I was injured by a hidden weapon. How about it, are you satisfied with my answer like this? Your master and wife are very powerful!" Yue Hao said: "Since my master hurt you, why did he let you go?" The thief said coldly: "How do I know, why don't you ask your master?" Min Chenglong said angrily: "Are you cursing us intentionally, my master is already dead!" The thief showed a bit surprised look, and shouted: "Yang Mu is dead?" Although the thief always "talk about him" to Yue Hao's every question, avoiding to answer directly, Yue Hao has already found a loophole in his words. I couldn't help becoming more suspicious, thinking: "Master's martial arts are excellent, of course he is very powerful; but my wife doesn't understand martial arts at all, so what's so good about her? The thief said that my teacher's wife is very good, he must have seen it. Of course, it doesn't just refer to martial arts, this is the first flaw. He said he didn't know my master's name, but now he knows it, this is another flaw! Master brother predicted well, there must be something strange about what happened that night! But I hate that he refuses to tell the truth, but what should I do?" Yue Hao put on a broad expression, and persuaded him: "A real person doesn't show his face, and a real person doesn't show his face. Although I don't know your origin, I can guess that you must be an incognito expert in the world, and you are acquainted with my master." .Would you like to tell me what you came to my master's house for and what you saw that night? I will never make things difficult for you if you tell me. I will heal your wounds and send you out. However, if you still If you refuse to say anything, then I have no choice but to hand you over to the Huanglong Gang." Yue Hao threatened and lured him, thinking that he could get a confession, but unexpectedly the thief listened to a large piece of his speech, and still looked indifferent, blinked, and said lightly: "You guessed wrong, Gao It's not suitable for me to wear a high hat. I'm just a thief and I don't know anything!" Yue Hao was furious, and was about to scold him for being ungrateful, when suddenly Min Chenglong shouted: "Who is eavesdropping outside?" He pushed open the window, and with a shake of his hand, three money darts flew out.It turned out that he heard someone jumping off the roof, and he guessed it would definitely not be Yue Hao's family. Min Chenglong's money dart has obtained the master's true biography, but after sending it out, it disappeared without a trace, did not hear a sound, and did not know if it hit anyone.Min Chenglong was taken aback, and hastily drew his sword out of its sheath. Just as he opened the door, he heard the voice of his third junior brother, Fang Liang, saying: "It's Senior Aunt Yang who is here!" The hot-handed Avalokitesvara really lives up to its reputation! I am afraid that Master is not as good at catching hidden weapons as she is." Min Chenglong and Yue Hao rushed out to greet them, only to see three people in the courtyard, besides Master's elder sister "Hot Hand Avalokitesvara" Aunt Yang and their third younger brother Fang Liang, there was also a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy. Aunt Yang smiled and said: "Jackie Chan, you are worthy of being the eldest disciple of the Yang family. The special skills of the money dart in the three-ring ring are already very good. Jieer, return the money dart to your Senior Brother Min." The boy spread out his palm, and saw three copper coins with sharpened edges lined up on his palm. It was only then that Min Chenglong realized that this boy was Qi Shijie, the master's nephew.This surprise was even more serious, he thought it was his aunt "Hot Hand Avalokitesvara" who took over his money darts, but unexpectedly it was this young boy! Fang Liang said: "My aunt and I rushed here today, thinking we could make it in time for the funeral. Unexpectedly, the master has already been buried, so we won't be able to see him again. We just came out of the mourning hall. My aunt is in a hurry to see you, so I brought my aunt with you. Come on, I don't have time to call Second Senior Brother's family to report." Aunt Yang couldn't wait to ask: "Jackie Chan, how did your master die? Why did Yun Ziluo bury my younger brother in such a hurry and won't let me see him?" It was suspicious. Min Chenglong secretly rejoiced, and said: "Master, it would be great to have you here. We are investigating the cause of Master's death, please come in and talk." Aunt Yang stepped into the secret room, saw the thief at first sight, and yelled "Ah!" and said, "Why are you here? Who hurt you like this?" The thief smiled bitterly and said, "Aunt Yang, I didn't expect to see you here. You can ask your nephew." Yue Hao was both surprised and happy, thinking in his heart: "Finally found someone who knows his origin." He asked: "Master, who is he?" Aunt Yang said: "You don't know him, he is the well-known master thief Happy Zhang!" Both Min and Yue were taken aback, Yue Hao thought to himself: "Fortunately I didn't offend him just now." It turns out that this man's name is Zhang Xiaoyao, he is not considered a top-notch figure in terms of martial arts, but he is unparalleled in the world in terms of his empty-handed and empty-handed skills.Originally, although his martial arts attainments have not been top-notch, he is already a well-known figure in the Jianghu, but he just "doesn't do his job properly", he refuses to be the head of the bodyguard bureau, and he is invited by the green forest bandit Instead of doing it, he became a thief.He thought that the thief was the most carefree and happy, so he named him Xiaoyao, and his nickname was "Happy Zhang". Yue Hao said: "On the night of Master's death, he once went to Master's house. It was Master Ding of the Huanglong Gang who knew that we were going to investigate the cause of Master's death, so he was specially invited here." Aunt Yang showed a surprised look, without first asking him why, she said: "Xiao Zhang, considering your ability, it is not surprising that my younger brother captured you, but how did you fall into the hands of Huanglong Gang? Isn't this a shipwreck in the gutter!" The thief Zhang Xiaoyao nicknamed "Happy Zhang" heard Aunt Yang's question, but he didn't feel very "happy". He smiled wryly and said, "Mrs. Qi, after all, you have eyesight, and thank you for looking up to me. You say Well done, even if my skills are not good, I will not fall into the hands of Huanglong Gang. But you guessed wrong who injured me." Aunt Yang said: "Isn't it my younger brother?" Happy Zhang said: "It's your brother's wife." As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.Aunt Yang said: "What, my sister-in-law hurt you?" Fang Liang, Fan Kui and others said in unison: "This is so strange, Master does not know martial arts!" Happy Zhang sneered and said, "Can't know martial arts? I'll show you something." After finishing speaking, he took out a silver hairpin, handed it to Aunt Yang, and said, "I just used this silver hairpin to hit the Huantiao acupoint for your sister-in-law. Yes." Aunt Yang took it over and took a look, only to see blood stains on the silver hairpin, it really belonged to Yun Ziluo.Song Pengju, the fifth disciple who stayed at the master's house, also recognized it, and said, "That's right, it's this silver hairpin that Master's wife usually puts on her head." Happy Zhang smiled bitterly and said: "You believe it, if your sister-in-law hadn't hurt me with a hidden weapon, how could I capsize in the gutter. Auntie, please forgive me for saying something rude, you know that I have always had a grudge People who are discerning, this is the first time in my life that I have missed something, you are kind to me, but your sister-in-law has a grudge against me, please let me keep this silver hairpin, and I will return it to your sister-in-law with my own hands." The meaning is to avenge Yun Ziluo's hairpin. Aunt Yang said: "To tell you the truth, I'm going to investigate the cause of my brother's death right now. If it's really this little bastard who killed him, you don't need to take revenge." Happy Zhang said: "You avenge your big revenge, and I avenge my small revenge. It's irrelevant. But—" After saying these two words, he seemed to be worried, and he was about to say it. Aunt Yang said: "Xiao Zhang, my late husband is in Japan, and we are friends at last. You should tell me the truth. But what?" It turned out that Happy Zhang had been favored by Aunt Yang's husband, and Aunt Yang knew very well that Happy Zhang Temperament, if you press his confession, he would rather die than tell, so he must use affection. Happy Zhang said: "Auntie, I'm telling the truth, although Yun Ziluo hurt me, but in my opinion, your brother may not have been hurt by her." Yue Hao sneered and said: "Yun Ziluo pretended not to understand martial arts. We have kept her in the dark for many years. Just by this fact, we can know how gloomy and terrifying Yun Ziluo is. Unless the master didn't die unexpectedly, Otherwise, if the murderer isn't her, who else?" Aunt Yang shook her hand and said: "Yue Hao, don't be suspicious, Xiao Zhang will explain the truth to us. Xiao Zhang, please tell me why you came to my brother's house, what did you see that night, What did you hear? Why do you think it wasn't Yun Ziluo who harmed my younger brother?"
