Chapter 50 Chapter 50

Miao Changfeng said: "My friendship with Shao Shudu is extraordinary, please leave this matter to me, and I will find out the truth. Forgive that You Daquan didn't dare to kill Shao Shudu's son." Three days later, Miao Changfeng arrived in Yucheng. Seeing that it was still early, he thought to himself: "Don't rush to find You Daquan, let's go to Yimaolou for a drink first, and let's talk after getting some definite news." He came at the right time, past noon and the sun had not yet set.This is the time of the day when the restaurant's business is the slowest, and there is only one table of guests in Yimao Tower.

"Uncle Miao, what brought you here?" The bartender greeted him as soon as he saw him coming.It turned out that although he only drank wine twice in Yimaolou, he made friends with the bartender. Miao Changfeng smiled and said, "Second brother, it's hard for you to remember me." The waiter in the shop said: "Our whole family is thinking about you. Last night I was talking to my wife, saying that I don't know when I will be able to look forward to your uncle Miao coming to drink again. I am looking forward to it unexpectedly. Alas, last year my family If it wasn't thanks to you, Uncle Miao..."

Miao Changfeng interrupted him, and said with a smile: "You forgot what I said again, I told you not to mention this matter again. If there is any good wine, let me have a pot first." It turned out that the bartender owed a debt to a local tyrant, and the local tyrant wanted to take his daughter as a girl to pay off the debt. Miao Changfeng found out about this, and he found a powerful local gang friend to come out secretly, and took the bartender's Redeem the IOU and quietly return it to him.It wasn't that Miao Changfeng was afraid of the local tyrant, but because the bartender still had to work in Yilulou, he adopted this method, and the disturbance was calmed down without any trace.

The shop clerk quickly said: "Yes, yes. There is a vat of aged lotus white. I specially left it for you, Uncle Miao. Please wait, I will get it right away." Miao Changfeng picked a seat by the window and sat down, looking at the turbulent Yellow River in the distance, touching the sky from a distance, unconsciously touched in his heart, and thought: "Folk legend: If you want peace, the Yellow River should be clear. Alas, throughout the ages, How many heroes are devoted to the cause of clarifying the world, can this only be a dream forever?" Looking back, looking up, a central hall hanging on the opposite wall came into view. This is one of the famous objects of Yilu Tower. It is a poem of Mengchuang written by Deng Xiaoyu, a great local calligrapher three hundred years ago. The words commemorate Dayu's achievements in water control, and it is most appropriate to hang them on the Yilu Tower.Most of the guests who come here because of the fame will appreciate the delicious food and wine at Yilulou, and most of them will also appreciate this poem by Mengchuang written by Deng Xiaoyu.

Miao Changfeng had already memorized this poem fluently, and he couldn't help reading it again at this time, and said in his heart: "Besides the jackdaws for three thousand years, speechless tiredness depends on autumn trees. Passing water moves rivers, and high hills change valleys. Who knew at that time Shen Yu..." Miao Changfeng thought: "Calligraphy with silver hooks and iron strokes, and words with deep meanings, really complement each other. No wonder Jin Zhuliu didn't dare to fight with Shi Baidu when he was in the Yizhu Tower." In order not to destroy this famous object, Liu had a quarrel with Shi Baidu after betting against him. He only fought a few tricks upstairs, and then jumped down to fight in the middle of the street.

Just as he was about to appreciate it carefully, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a newly discovered object, and Miao Changfeng was stunned unconsciously. The word "Yu" in "Who knows the god Yu at that time" has been written to the end of the second line, but there are still a few inches of blank space on the paper, and there are a few traces of fingernail scratches in the blank space. Fortunately, the calligraphy has not been damaged.Looking further, there is a faint palm mark on the wall, although it is not very clear, it can be seen with the naked eye that it is a palm mark.

Miao Changfeng was taken aback, and thought to himself: "He Nian is too careless, he should avoid some fights, but fortunately he didn't destroy this calligraphy." Kung fu, if one of the two people who fought was Shao Henian, the scratch marks from his fingernails were naturally left by him.But when he looked closely at the palm print on the wall, Miao Changfeng couldn't help feeling a little suspicious: "This seems to be the Mahamudra Kung Fu passed down by monks from a school of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism. Palm strength is good. There is another level, people who can master Mahamudra Kung Fu, no matter how shallow their kung fu is, they can break green bricks, and if the palm is pressed against the wall, the palm print should be much deeper, not so shallow."

Miao Changfeng was about to go over and take a closer look at it, when the bartender brought out the food and said with a smile, "Master Miao, smell the wine, does it smell good? This is fresh Yellow River carp. Old favorite." Miao Changfeng turned around, only to realize that the two guests at that table had left at some point.Miao Changfeng smiled and said: "It's rare to be so quiet, little brother, you don't have time to spare." The shop waiter said: "What do you always order?" Miao Changfeng smiled: "Please accompany me to drink together." The waiter in the shop said: "I don't dare." Miao Changfeng said: "It's an old friend, why are you being polite?" Pulling him to sit down.The bartender knew his bold temper, so he didn't refuse any more.

After drinking two cups, Miao Changfeng got to the point and said, "I heard that a few days ago, there were guests here who made trouble and had a big fight. Is this true or not?" The bartender said: "Why not? You see, the traces of the fight that day are still on the wall. The boss was going to replace the brick and paint the wall, but it was the peak season and he wanted to do more business. Delay. Now the peak season is coming to an end, and construction can probably start in a few days." Miao Changfeng smiled and said, "I'm not interested in making money for your boss. What I want to know is about the fight that day. Can you tell me?"

The bartender smiled and said, "I dare not tell others. How can I not tell when Master Miao asks? This happened on the 18th of last month. There was a young guest who was fighting with members of the Five Dragons Gang here. .” Miao Changfeng said: "What did they fight for?" The bartender said: "There were a lot of customers at that time, so I didn't pay much attention at first. Then suddenly I saw the deputy leader of the Five Dragons Gang approaching the young man. At that time, the young man was talking to another guest. I didn't pay attention to what he said. Yes. The deputy head of the Wulong gang intervened among them, and suddenly said loudly: "Do you want to know about the Mount Tai meeting? I know. Come with me, I'll tell you!" As he spoke, he grabbed the young man That's it, let's fight!"

Miao Changfeng said: "According to your opinion, is his expression good intentions or malice when he speaks?" The bartender said: "It seems to be malicious. He is staring and grinning." Miao Changfeng said: "What does that young man look like, please be more specific." Hearing the appearance described by the bartender, Miao Changfeng thought to himself: "In this way, it seems that it is indeed Shao Henian. He probably inquired about the Mount Tai meeting and attracted the attention of the Five Dragons Gang. But the leader of the Five Dragons Gang, You He has always been cautious, and he never dared to offend the famous people who participated in the Mount Tai meeting. Why did he arrest Shao Henian when he was involved in this matter? If it was said that someone under him did it, such a matter of great importance, his subordinates If the people who are here are not under his order, how dare they act so recklessly?" The bartender asked, "Master Miao, is that young guest your friend?" Miao Changfeng said: "Maybe it's my nephew." The bartender was very worried, and said: "The Wulong gang is very powerful, Mr. Miao, you can't beat them alone." Miao Changfeng said: "Don't worry, if I'm not sure about what I do, I won't do anything foolish. Second brother, who was that person who fought with the young guest you mentioned just now? Please say it again." The bartender said, "It's Deputy Chief Zhang of the Five Dragons Gang." Miao Changfeng said: "Oh, it's a deputy gang leader surnamed Zhang? It's not the main gang leader You Daquan!" The bartender said: "The boss You was also there, but when they were fighting, he didn't make a sound or make a move." Miao Changfeng said: "That's strange. His deputy fights with someone, and he either stops it or helps him. How can he stay out of it?" The bartender said in a low voice: "Uncle Miao, you know that the power of the Five Dragons Gang is now in the hands of the deputy gang leader surnamed Zhang. In our restaurant, people from the Five Dragons Gang often come to drink. Inquiring about the Five Dragons Gang, I inadvertently heard a lot." Miao Changfeng said: "What kind of road is the surname Zhang?" The bartender said: "I heard that he is from another place. He is an old member of the Five Dragons Gang. No one knows his origin. Of course, the leader You knows, otherwise he would not be allowed to be the deputy leader." Miao Changfeng said: "How long has he been with the Five Dragons Gang?" The bartender said: "He came last autumn, and there were more than a dozen subordinates with him. On the third day, Gang Leader You asked him to be the deputy gang leader. Everyone in this gang is tight-lipped and refuses to share their previous experience. Lord You's cronies only know that they are a little-known gang in the rivers and lakes. The reason why they came to join the Wulong Gang is to provide shade under the big tree. The old people of the Wulong Gang suspect that they are gangsters of the underworld. , but asked the head of the gang for confirmation, but the head of the You gang refused to say anything. The brothers of the Wulong Gang who came to drink in Yilulou were very unconvinced when they talked about the deputy head of Zhang, but the head of the You gang handed over the power to him. Convincing is also helpless." Miao Changfeng suddenly asked, "Is this guy surnamed Zhang bald?" The bartender was taken aback for a moment, and said, "It's not true that you are bald, but your hair is indeed short, like a monk who has not been a layman for a long time. Uncle Miao, do you know this person?" Miao Changfeng said: "We don't know each other, but I have already found a clue to trace his origin." The bartender said: "Is he a monk who has returned to the vulgar? But he came last year. It is said that he has been here for such a long time. Even if he came to join the Five Dragons just after he left the vulgar, his hair should have been long. But that day I saw He looks like a newly shaved head, but there is no trace of newly shaved sideburns." Miao Changfeng smiled and said, "You have observed very carefully. Now I can almost confirm his origin. However, it is useless for me to know his origin. Please tell me about the fight that day." It turns out that among the various sects of Tibetan Buddhism, only the "Esoteric School" allows Han people to be lamas. They have a special medicine. After the disciples "shave" and apply this medicine, their hair will never grow long. The bartender Qu Ran thought about it, and said: "Uncle Miao taught you a good lesson. If you know too much about the secrets of these gangs, you will cause trouble instead." Then he continued to tell the story of that day. "The young guest had a ping-pong-pong fight with the Zhang surname. Of course, the guests dispersed, and our staff also hid inside in fright. At that time, I was holding the tray and couldn't run into the inner hall in a hurry, so I had to Hiding behind the counter, I dared to peek. But I didn’t dare to look carefully.” Miao Changfeng said: "Has the guest at the same table as the young guest escaped?" The bartender said: "I didn't pay attention to it. It seems that there are still a few bold customers at the stairs who have not dispersed and are watching the excitement. I don't know if that person is there?" Miao Changfeng asked: "How did that young guest be captured later?" He thought: "Shao Henian's family martial arts are not weak. Judging from the palm prints, the fire is still far away. Ordinarily, Shao Henian should be able to beat him." The bartender continued: "They fought fiercely. The young guest didn't seem to be the opponent surnamed Zhang. After a while, he was cornered by the opponent. Our big boss happened to be here that day. He was hiding in the At one corner, he was trembling with fright, seeing that his treasured calligraphy and paintings were about to be destroyed, he couldn’t help jumping up and exclaiming. At this moment, a strange thing happened.” Miao Changfeng smiled and said, "Don't be too nervous, just speak slowly. What strange thing happened?" The bartender took a sip of his wine and continued, "At this moment, a wine pot flew up from downstairs and hit the guy surnamed Zhang. The young guest was full of faces. Suddenly someone shouted: "You fight, fight yours, but don't destroy the things in the shop!" The young guest seemed to be stunned! Immediately jumped away. That surname Zhang's guy hit him with a palm, but he missed and hit the wall! It was also a dangerous fall." Miao Changfeng is a great expert in martial arts. Hearing this, he understood it clearly: "So it's not that the guy surnamed Zhang is too shallow. He was hit by the flagon all of a sudden. Even if he wasn't injured, he would be shocked. Naturally, the palm strength of the handprint cannot be exerted. Well, judging from what the bartender said, that person seems to have the intention to help Shao Henian get rid of this palm." He asked immediately: "What happened next? The one who threw the wine Did the person with the pot show up?" The bartender said: "No, the young man was stunned for a moment, jumped a few steps, and shouted: "The elder brother is right, he wants to beat you and me outside!" When he hit the wall, he was furious like thunder, turned around, and rushed towards the young man fiercely." Miao Changfeng frowned and said, "Has the person who threw the pot not shown up yet?" The bartender said: "The man didn't show up, but Gang Leader You is in his prime. He ran up and grabbed the guy surnamed Zhang, and the boy, and said, "Xiang Zhang, for my sake, don't hit him." The guy surnamed Zhang shouted: "I want to invite him back for our Five Dragons Gang." The leader You said: "Okay, you invite him back and treat me with courtesy. I don't care about you, but don't hurt him. In this way, the young man was captured by them. The guy surnamed Zhang had to run downstairs to find the person who threw the pot. Fortunately, he was also persuaded by the leader You. But at that time, those who were watching the fun downstairs The guests have already left." Miao Changfeng thought to himself: "You Daquan has something to hold that Zhang surname in his hands. Hearing this situation, he seems to be quite afraid of him, but I just ask him to back down a step." At this moment, footsteps were heard walking up the stairs, and the bartender said, "Ah, there are guests here, let's talk about it later." Miao Changfeng almost knew what he wanted to know. He couldn't find anything to ask, so he smiled and said, "Go and greet the guests, I should go too." I saw two men, one fat and one thin, walking up the stairs. Miao Changfeng just stood up and wanted to check out at the counter, so he had a face-to-face meeting with these two men, and was startled for a while. It turned out that the thin man was one of the guests sitting at the next table just now, and the fat man was a newcomer.The thin man stepped into the restaurant, saw that Miao Changfeng was still there, heaved a sigh of relief, and cast a wink at the fat man.Seeing all this in Miao Changfeng's eyes, he thought to himself: "No wonder he left in a hurry just now, so he went back to call for someone. It seems that he must have come for me." Sure enough, the fat man came to Miao Changfeng, sang a promise respectfully, and said, "Is this the hero Miao?" Miao Changfeng said: "I can't bear the word hero. I'm Miao Changfeng. Your Excellency is—" The fat man said: "We belong to the Five Dragons Gang. The leader of our gang, You, has long admired the name of Hero Miao. He heard that you are old in Yucheng, so he specially asked us to pass on the greeting card. Please give us your honor and come to our gang to say something." Forget it, handed over the prayer box, and Miao Changfeng took out the invitation card to take a look, only to see that two names were signed side by side, and it was only then that Miao Changfeng knew that the deputy gang leader was named Zhang Hongda. The bartender was secretly surprised, and thought: "So this skinny man is also from the Five Dragons Gang. Fortunately, I didn't say anything wrong when he was drinking here. But I'm afraid most of them have malicious intentions when they come to find Uncle Miao." He boldly said: "It's still early, the two of you should have a drink first." He thought that Miao Changfeng was a smart man, after hearing what he said, he must know that his intention was to make him think twice before acting. The fat man stared, and shouted: "I want you to talk more! Hero Miao, if you want to drink, our Wulong Gang also has good wine." Miao Changfeng said: "Are you always with Chief You or Deputy Chief Zhang?" The fat man seemed to think that what Miao Changfeng asked was very strange, he was stunned for a while, and replied: "Both of us are old subordinates who have followed Chief You for many years." Miao Changfeng said: "Then, please tell me the truth, is it the leader You wants to see me, or the deputy leader Zhang wants to see me?" The thin man said: "The greeting card was sent to us by Chief You. Deputy Chief Zhang knew about it and said: He has admired the name of Hero Miao for a long time, so he asked Chief You to add a name for him." The fat man continued: "The two guild masters sincerely want to invite Hero Miao to show you the honor and meet, and Hero Miao will grant you permission." Miao Changfeng laughed, and said: "Since you two gang leaders are so sincere, Miao will not be polite to bother your Five Dragons Gang. Okay, let's go." The two lead the way, out of Yucheng, and walk on a small road. As they walk, there are fewer and fewer people, and the sky is gradually getting dark. Although Miao Changfeng has never met You Daquan, he has extensive experience and knowledge, and he really knows a lot about You Daquan's past.Immediately, I deliberately tried those two people, and then started chatting with them. "I've admired the leader You of your clan for a long time. I think back then when he subdued the five tyrants of the Yellow River with a pair of moth-browed thorns, who would not praise him as a hero when he mentioned this matter? Unfortunately, I just heard it. Unable to witness it. You two are confidantes who have followed the leader for many years, so you must have been there at the time? Can you tell me and let me enjoy it?" The fat man said: "That's right, Chief You subdued the Five Hegemons of the Yellow River. stirrup." Miao Changfeng laughed secretly, and said in his heart: "Sure enough, I can't bear to try it, and my flaws will be revealed immediately." It turns out that You Daquan started the Five Dragons Gang after he defeated the Five Hegemons of the Yellow River alone.Prior to this, You Daquan was just a second-rate character who had just made his mark in the arena, so why did he get the title of gang leader. But Miao Changfeng still remained calm, and smiled again: "Then five years ago, when Gang Leader You and Gang Leader Gao of the Qingmu Gang fought alone on Qianfo Mountain in Jinan, you should have been there? How was the outcome? , Only the gang members of both sides who were watching the battle knew. I wonder if your gang leader and the other party agreed not to tell outsiders? Friends in the rivers and lakes have speculated, and everyone is very interested in this matter, but according to my guess, I’m afraid it’s your gang leader Victory, right? Because after the incident, the Qingmu Gang bowed their heads to your Wulong Gang. I don’t know if I’m guessing right? Ah, maybe I’m going to embarrass you by asking this question. If it’s not convenient for you to tell me, then Needless to say." The two of them thought, since outsiders don't know what happened, they might as well talk nonsense, so the thin man said first: "Hero Miao is our guild master's guest of honor, I dare not tell anyone else, Hero Miao asked. How dare we hide it. You always guessed right, it was our leader who won the victory that time. But the victory was not easy. They fought from early in the morning until the sun went down, and our leader won a move." The fat man said: "We The leader of the gang didn't allow us to leak it out, it was for the sake of the face of the leader Gao. I was there that day, and I was standing in front of it, and I could see very clearly that although the leader of the gang only won one move, that move was already in Gao's hands. A palm print was left on the leader's clothes. If it weren't for his mercy, there would be a hole in the chest of the leader of the leader." Miao Changfeng laughed loudly, and said, "You are really admirable for the great handprint kung fu of Gang Leader You." It turns out that there is no Qingmu gang in Jianghu, and the martial arts competition in Qianfo Mountain is completely rumored by Miao Changfeng. It's a fabrication, and You Daquan doesn't even know how to do Mahamudra. It's ridiculous that these two guys don't know what they're up to, and they talk about it. Miao Changfeng laughed secretly, and thought to himself: "Sure enough, as I expected, these two guys were actually sent by Zhang Hongda to trick me into joining the Five Dragons Gang under the guise of You Daquan. Undoubtedly, but I will always go to the Wulong Gang. I will adapt to the situation at that time, that's all." I knew it well, so I still didn't expose the other party's lies. Seeing his weird smile, the two people felt a little uneasy, and they quickened their pace, hoping to return to the gang soon and settle their errands. It was getting dark gradually, and the path went around the side of the mountain, Miao Changfeng listened intently, there seemed to be the rustling of branches and leaves in the woods, the two people only thought it was the sound of the wind blowing, and I don't care, Miao Changfeng is a great expert in the Jianghu, but he was a little surprised when he heard that the night walker was hiding inside: "Could it be that they can't wait to trick me into the Five Dragons Gang, so they are going to do it here Is it?" While thinking about it, suddenly a black figure sprang out from the woods and shouted: "Miao Xia, don't be fooled!" Miao Changfeng originally thought that this person was here to plot against him, but unexpectedly he came to call the police with good intentions, which was quite unexpected. It was too late to say it, but soon, the two people who were walking with Miao Changfeng shot at the same time, the fat man shot a sleeve arrow, and the skinny man threw three throwing knives. With a master like Miao Changfeng by his side, how could they allow their plot to succeed?After hearing two bangs, Miao Changfeng just flew out two copper coins and knocked down all four hidden weapons.It turned out that he hit two flying knives with two copper coins, turned the two flying knives, and then knocked down the other flying knife and the sleeve arrow respectively.Miao Changfeng is not good at hidden weapons, but this "serial impact" hidden weapon technique is enough to make those two people fly away. After all, the fat man was bolder and shouted: "Hero Miao, don't listen to his nonsense." Then he threatened the person who came out of the forest: "Fourth Han, you betrayed the gang, don't you want to die? You can Don't forget, your life is in the hands of Deputy Chief Zhang." The fourth Han shouted: "I gave up my life to expose your conspiracy. Hero Miao, they lied to you. Zhang Hongda set up a trap at the head of the Five Dragons Gang to harm you!" This matter was expected by Miao Changfeng, but at this moment, Han Laosi had exposed the conspiracy of those two people, so Miao Changfeng had no choice but to deal with them early, and immediately grabbed one of them, and said with a sneer: "You are not worthy of me!" I came to kill you, but I have to make you suffer a little." The acupuncture points of the two men were tapped, and they were thrown into a low swamp in the ravine, letting them taste the muddy water. After Miao Changfeng dealt with these two people, he asked Han Laosi, "Are you sent by the leader You?" Han Laosi said, "Yes. Although he kept this matter from our leader, the leader did not Still know." Miao Changfeng frowned and said, "Since your leader knows, why did you let him do anything wrong?" Han Laosi smiled wryly and said, "The leader has nothing to do." Miao Changfeng said: "Could it be that all of your brothers from the Five Dragons have pledged their allegiance to him?" Han Laosi said: "Except for a very few people who were won over by him, most of the old people are dissatisfied with him, but they dare to be angry and dare not speak up." Miao Changfeng said: "Why?" Han Laosi said: "After he became the deputy gang leader, he recruited friends one after another, and now almost all the important positions in the gang are held by his people." Miao Changfeng said: "Your leader is also a hero, how can you be so easily at his mercy?" Han Laosi sighed, and said, "Our leader is also regretful." Miao Changfeng said: "That's why I don't know. Why did your leader re-use him rashly? I heard that he came for a few days, and leader You asked him to be his deputy. He is a good friend of your leader. Or is it because he is a person of great background?" Han Lao Si said: "I don't know what his background is, but I know that the leader of the gang has never met him before." Han Changfeng said: "This is too strange!" Han Laosi continued: "I also secretly asked the leader of the gang, but the leader just sighed. It was not easy for him to reveal a little bit once, saying that in order to protect the Five Dragons Gang, he had to be reused. If I asked the reason again, the leader would not Ken said it." Miao Changfeng said: "No matter what his background is, if he behaves like this, he can only destroy your Five Dragons Gang!" Han Laosi said: "Hero Miao is right, and the leader of the gang understands this too. Alas, but in short, the mistake was at the beginning, and the leader of the gang is too late to regret it now." Miao Changfeng said: "How many people does he have?" Han Laosi said: "When we first came, there were only a dozen people, but now there are forty or fifty people." Miao Changfeng said: "How many people are there in your Five Dragons Gang?" Han Laosi said: "We are a small gang, but there are five or six hundred people." Miao Changfeng said: "According to what you just said, at least nine out of ten old members of the Five Dragons Gang are loyal to the leader You?" Han Laosi said: "Not bad." Miao Changfeng said: "Okay, even if there are five hundred people loyal to the Lord You, it is ten to one, why should we be afraid of them?" Han Laosi hesitated for a while, and said, "Miao Hero, I dare to tell you the reason only if you promise me a word." Miao Changfeng said: "Alright, tell me what you want me to promise." Han Laosi said: "The lives of our five dragon gang brothers are in the hands of that surname Zhang. Unless you are sure to save us, don't let it out." Miao Changfeng said: "Don't worry about it, if I can't do anything, I should keep my mouth shut." Han Laosi said: "This year's New Year, in the name of inviting you to drink spring tea, he arranged a big banquet and invited the whole gang to attend the banquet. We thought that the purpose of his new deputy gang leader's banquet was to win us over. I went to the banquet happily." "Unexpectedly, after a few days, all the brothers in the gang contracted strange diseases one after another. The cold and heat were alternating, and the bones were about to burst. The pain was beyond words. Only his henchmen, none of them were sick. " Miao Changfeng said: "Where is Chief You?" Han Laosi said: "The chief's inner strength is profound, he has not yet been bedridden, but he is also described as haggard, and he has no strength to walk." Miao Changfeng said in shock: "How dare he be so bold, even the leader You poisoned him." Han Laosi said: "Yes, after all the brothers in the gang fell ill, we also knew that we had been tricked by him, but since we were powerless to resist him, for the sake of the lives of the brothers in the gang, you had no choice but to ask him for help. Please forgive me." "His hideous face was revealed only now. He directly believed that it was him who poisoned him. If he was poisoned by him, he would never recover for life. Only he has a unique antidote, and this antidote is not a cure. A year of peace. After a year, without his antidote, the onset of toxicity will be even more severe than it is now." "We have no choice but to submit to him and promise to obey him in everything in the future. He also asked us to swear that this matter must not be leaked to outsiders. As long as one person leaks, the whole gang will not be relieved by him in the next year." medicine!" Miao Changfeng said angrily: "Such vicious methods are really intolerable! But how do you know that he is not threatening?" Han Lao Si said: "There are two doctors in our gang who are capable of medical science. After he explained the medicine, he checked the pulse of all the brothers and found that everyone's pulse was the same. It was diagnosed as the root of the latent disease. It seems that only I'm afraid it's not a false threat." "Let's talk about the pain of poisoning, everyone can't help but palpitate when thinking about it. Of course, there are many brothers who are unwilling to suffer his humiliation, and would rather give up their lives to fight him. But most of the brothers have not yet With courage and determination, those who insist on fighting with him can't do it alone, and secondly, they have to think about the whole gang of brothers, so they have no choice but to be restrained by him." Miao Changfeng said: "Then why does Chief You dare to send you to ventilate to me this time, isn't it afraid that he will know?" Han Laosi said: "Our guild leader can't bear it anymore, he said that Hero Miao is someone he admires, if he is murdered by that guy this time, no one else will know, and the crime will still fall on him, he would rather die , and must not be reviled by the heroes of the rivers and lakes, and bear such a shameful charge." Miao Changfeng raised his thumb and praised: "Okay, your leader is a good man, and you are also a good man. You are willing to spare your life to help me. I will never let you be harmed by Zhang Hongda!" Han Laosi said: "Hero Miao, you kill those two guys, you go back. Hero Miao, I know that you are excellent in martial arts, but after all, you can't do it alone. If you fall into their hands, what should we call our leader? I will go back and tell the leader of your thoughts, and I will always be grateful to you." Miao Changfeng said: "How can I feel at ease if I implicate your leader and all the brothers for my sake?" Han Laosi said: "I came out secretly, and Zhang Hongda's people didn't know about it. Tomorrow they found the bodies of those two people. It's just that you saw through their tricks, and you may not suspect the gang leader. Besides, they want to control the bodies of the two men. Gang, I dare not kill the gang leader." Miao Changfeng said: "You don't have to worry, I'll see the opportunity. Those two guys ordered acupuncture points for me, and within twelve hours, I can't move half a step. If I can't subdue Zhang Hongda tonight, Tomorrow morning, you will secretly kill them again." Han Laosi saw that he seemed to be very confident in what he said, and remembered the many magical legends about Miao Changfeng in the Jianghu, and thought: "Maybe he really has some way to subdue that fellow and save the brothers of the gang." So he said: "Since the hero Miao Be sure to go, the villain will show you the way. There is a path around the back mountain that they don't know about." Miao Changfeng said as he walked, "Okay, but I still want to know one thing." Han Laosi said: "Miao Xia, please tell me. If I know, I will tell you." Miao Changfeng said: "Do you know who the young man Zhang Hongda captured in Yilu Tower that day is?" Han Laosi said: "I don't know who it is. I only know that his surname is Shao." Miao Changfeng thought: "Sure enough, it is Shao Henian." He then asked, "How is this Shao?" Han Laosi said: "Hero Miao came here for this person?" Miao Changfeng said: "Exactly." Han Laosi said: "Our gang leader did not make a mistake. Okay, then I can tell you about it .” Miao Changfeng was taken aback, and said, “Has he been killed already?” Fourth Han laughed and said, "On the contrary, this young man surnamed Shao has already left. Hero Miao, if you're only here for him, then you don't need to take this risk." Miao Changfeng was both surprised and happy, and said, "How could he leave? Did your leader let him go?" Han Laosi said: "No. But our gang leader did have a fight with Zhang Hongda because of this person, and was almost murdered by him." Follow him and tell what happened. "The young man surnamed Shao has very hard bones." Han Laosi said: "Zhang Hongda used both soft and hard methods, and he refused to eat them all. The gang leader knew that he was going to use poisonous tricks after torture. So he had no choice but to stand up and stop him, and said to him "Give this young man to me, and let me persuade him." Perhaps Zhang Hongda was hindering the favor of the gang leader, or maybe he hoped that the gang leader would have a way to persuade the young man to surrender. After repeated pleas from the gang leader, he finally I also agreed." Miao Changfeng said: "What do their leader and the young man surnamed Shao say?" Han Laosi said: "The gang leader brought him into the secret room, and no one was allowed in. Zhang Hongda had already promised that he would not interfere when the gang leader persuaded him to surrender. So there were only the gang leader and the young man in the secret room. Later, only the gang leader When one came out, the young man was locked in the secret room. I don't know what they said, but that night, when Zhang Hongda came to argue with the gang leader, I heard it in the compartment." Miao Changfeng said, "How did they quarrel?" Han Laosi said: "Zhang Hongda first came to ask about the result. Hearing that the boy still refused to comply, he aggressively asked the leader to return the boy to him." Miao Changfeng said: "Your gang leader is definitely not willing, is it?" Han Laosi said: "The gang leader asked him: 'Do you know who the boy's father is?' He said: 'I know. It is because I know who his father is? That's why I want to accept him as a disciple of the gang. .'" "The gang leader said: 'I know your intentions, you are using this to build a relationship with chivalry.' Zhang Hongda said: 'Is that not good?' Your words?' Zhang Hongda snorted at that time, and said with a sneer: "I have my own way, not afraid that he will be disobedient.'" "As soon as the gang leader heard this, he became angry. He slapped the table and said, 'I know your method. I won't allow you to harm him with poisoned wine!'" "Zhang Hongda seemed to be taken aback for a moment. I was in the next room, and it took him a while to hear him sneer and say: 'Master You, why are you so angry? Don't forget—'" "The gang leader said: 'That's right, I drank your poisoned wine, and I haven't forgotten it. But this young man is no match for me, as long as he is not afraid of death, he doesn't need to worry about anything else. If your last move is useless When he died at your hands, what do you think will happen? Well-known heroes like Jin Zhuliu and Li Nanxing are all good friends of his father. If you pursue it, of course you won’t be able to escape, Wulong The Gang will also be destroyed in your hands. Anyway, I can’t save the Five Dragons Gang. If you want to force it, you kill me first!'” "Seeing that the gang leader did not hesitate to turn his face, he agreed to the gang leader and asked the gang leader to persuade the young man, but he proposed a period of three days. If the young man still refused to obey, he would still kill him. At the same time, he sent two more of his subordinates to help the boy. guard." "Unexpectedly, only one day later, the young man surnamed Shao disappeared the next morning!" Miao Changfeng said: "What about the guards?" 韩老四道：“四个看守，两个是尤帮主的人，两个是张宏达的人，全都给人点了穴道。不过张宏达那两个人却伤得更重，直到现在，他们还是卧病在床。” 缪长风道：“张宏达那厮，岂不是要疑心你们的帮主？” 韩老四道：“不错，他是曾有过疑心。但好在我们的帮主并非以点穴功夫见长，这点他是知道的。论起点穴功夫，他确是比我们的帮主高明。” 缪长风道：“那四个人所受的不是普通点穴功夫？” 韩老四道：“张宏达自以为懂得许多门派的解穴手法，不料试来试去，穴道没有解开，反而把他自己的人弄成残废。后来还是过了十二个时辰，这四个人的穴道才自行解开的。” 缪长风道：“为什么你们的人没有残废，反而是他的心腹手下给弄残废了？” 韩老四笑道：“也许是他给自己的人解穴，特别卖力的原故吧？但如此一来，他倒是不敢疑心是我们帮主所为了。不过，为了这件事，他当然又不免和我们的帮主再吵了一架。” 缪长风笑道：“那姓邵的少年给人救去，这些日子，张宏达岂不是坐卧不安？” 韩老四说道：“外表看不出来，内心怎样，就不知道他了。啊，我想起了他的几句可疑的说话——” 缪长风忙问：“他怎么说？” 韩老四道：“他和帮主吵架，临走时悻悻地说道：'这小子跑了我也不怕，谅他还是逃不出我的掌心。哼，他的父亲只能向我求情，决不敢和我算帐。你姓尤的不信，你就等着瞧吧！'他说得似乎很有把握呢。” 缪长风吃了一惊，说道：“莫非他已经下了毒？” 韩老四道：“那少年的食物倒是我们的人拿进去给他吃的。不过这厮下毒的手法诡谲百出，也难保他没有别的法儿。” 缪长风道：“不论我这世侄是否给他下了毒，这件事我是管定的了。不过，我只能要你带路，可不能要你陪我进去，请你画一个你们五龙帮的地图给我看看好么？我要知道他的住处，才好方便找他。” 韩老四拔出佩刀，在地上画了一个图，详加解说，说道：“他住在这间大屋，不过会客的地方却是这座他来了之后，才自建的'宝月楼'，相信在这两处地方，总有一处可以找得着他。”缪长风牢记于心，待看到五龙帮总舵的建筑之后，便叫韩老四离开，当下他就独自进行夜探了。
