The main hall of the Renyi Village of the Luo family was leveled in one day, and nearly a hundred relatives of the Luo family were wiped out, and not a single one was left.This created even more earth-shattering waves in the already turbulent rivers and lakes in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.

The seven sword sects in the world and the children of the eight aristocratic families spared no expense, offered rewards of thousands of gold, scouts and horsemen everywhere, made open investigations and unannounced visits, trying their best to find the mastermind behind this shocking case.

The elites of the Thirteen Clubs of the Five Sects of the Underworld also began to contact everywhere, hoping to find out the murderer who washed the Luo family this time, or to recruit members, or to form alliances, hoping to take this rare opportunity to find fame in the Jianghu. Li Wan, an opportunity to expand power.

In less than seven days, the world's number one sect, the Kunlun Demon Sect, and the 36 Knives Hall have notified Jianghu, shouldering the responsibility for the bloodbath of the Luo family this time, and wantonly recruiting Jianghu heroes.

The massacre of the Luo family was like a fuse, which brought the surging torrent in the dark of the Tang Dynasty to the surface in an instant.The smell of gunpowder in the six hundred prefectures and counties of the Tang Dynasty became stronger in an instant.

Gu Nianfeng had to admit that his junior brother still had some tricks and was bold enough.It's just that things are not considered comprehensively.This kind of plan, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble in the end.

When he and Lian Qingyan walked into Renyi Village, they didn't hide it. People would always notice that they had been to Luo's house before the Luo family's massacre happened.

People in Jianghu have never been weak in catching wind and shadows, so it is not difficult to find out that this matter is related to Lian Qingyan and himself.

Gu Nianfeng sighed, he was going to be troubled by Lian Qingyan.Actually came up with a bad idea to make the Luo family pretend to be exterminated.

There are three times when a married daughter does not return.One is to get married but not to return, the second is to be mourned for three years, and the third is to become rich after losing poverty.

Now that the Luo family has "destroyed the family", there is only one Luo Qiutong in Tianshan, Zu Beiqiu's divorce may not be possible.Zheng Dongting wanted to slap the Luo family in the face, but he couldn't do it.

Gu Nianfeng couldn't understand what Lian Qingyan was thinking.

Over the years, the Luo family has been actively contacting people with lofty ideals among the seven great sword sects in the world for blood revenge, and formed an alliance to wipe out the Taihang Shanzhai, and now it has begun to take shape.Now, if their daughter is sent home by the ancestors for violating the seven outlaws, it will cause the Luo family's reputation to plummet. What face and dignity do they have to call on the martial arts comrades to raise the banner of righteousness and wipe out the Taihang cottage together?So Lian Qingyan gave this trick of feigning death, in order to delay the time for Zu Beiqiu to hand over the divorce papers.

If she wanted to use this incident to block Zu Beiqiu's troubles, and use the tragedy of the Luo family to arouse the fighting spirit of the people in the rivers and lakes to fight against the Taihang cottage.Then we should get rid of Zu Beiqiu and Zheng Dongting now, and don't leave any traces of interference. To actually let them go after being stunned by soft-heartedness is simply asking for trouble!

In particular, Lian Qingyan still cut first and played later, and only sent a letter to Lian Zijie to explain the situation at this time.

Gu Nianfeng was already waiting for this matter to develop into a farce.

Gu Nianfeng sincerely felt that in order not to be involved in the future, it would be better for him to separate from Lian Qingyan now.

Gu Nianfeng said bluntly to Lian Qingyan: "Junior Brother Lian, although your idea is good, you still involve those two people innocently. Master asked us to go down the mountain to discuss swords in Luoyang. You are like this..."

Gu Nianfeng deliberately spoke softly and frowned slightly, as if he was dissatisfied with Lian Qingyan, but he couldn't speak directly because of his feelings.

He wanted Lian Qingyan to feel his dissatisfaction, but not too much.

"Brother, it's been a long time since the Taiping Day Book of the Tang Dynasty. Everyone in the Baidao Dynasty only knows how to protect their lives and fight for fame and fortune. They have lost the vitality of the Central Plains in the early Tang Dynasty. Now that the Turks have returned to the country, the north is in chaos, and all kinds of thieves are fighting for it." Xiangquan occupies territory, commits crimes, and harms the common people. Taihang Shanzhai is becoming more and more powerful. If there is no resistance, the north of the Central Plains will become a place where these horse thieves poison the souls, not to mention the South Eighteen Villages in the south. My plan is Let everyone raise the flag of righteousness together, follow the opportunity of the Luo family's destruction, and form the Northern Expedition of the League of Heroes. When the fierce battle with the Taihang Shanzhai, the people of the Luo family suddenly joined the battle group as a team of surprise soldiers, and became the key to turning the tide of the battle. If all goes well, wait until the Taihang Mountains When the stronghold is wiped out, we will announce that this is a joint plan planned by the Luo family and the Tianshan Sword Sect to fight against the Taihang stronghold, so there will be a happy ending for everyone, so why not do it."

For such words, Gu Nianfeng can only reply with two words in his heart - "naive"!But he couldn't really say it, so Lian Qingyan, who expected to make his senior brother's blood boil, was doomed to be disappointed.

"I always hope to make contributions, but... Junior Brother Lian..." Gu Nianfeng really went all out in order to separate from Lian Qingyan. He knew very well how serious the consequences of deceiving the whole world would be if this matter went wrong!

Gu Nianfeng pretended to hesitate again and again, it was difficult to speak, and he continued after Lian Qingyan questioned: "It's just that I have a little personal relationship with Zheng Dongting. This time he is implicated, and he will definitely become the target of public criticism. I want to protect them both secretly."

He didn't want to bring up his personal relationship with Zheng Dongting at first, but between admitting that he knew Zheng Dongting and taking the risk of deceiving the whole world, he probably chose the former.

In this way, even Qingyan's actions after that have nothing to do with him.

"Senior Brother Gu, you... how could you be with this villain..." Lian Qingyan seemed in disbelief, "This..."

"Even Junior Brother, what you have heard are all rumors, you can't believe them all. Zheng Dongting is still a bit responsible, and he is very affectionate." Gu Nianfeng said in a warm voice, with a bit of seriousness in his words, really like a good buddy explaining misunderstandings to a friend , "Although he studied under the sage Mutianhou, he has kept his promises for many years and has not made any major mistakes."

Lian Qingyan felt relieved a little bit, but she was still a little awkward, so she could only say: "Then senior brother, be careful, don't let others find out."

"Of course I know." Gu Nianfeng nodded slightly, expressing his understanding of the pros and cons.

Zheng Dongting and Zu Beiqiu, who witnessed this big event with their own eyes, were completely unaware of the wind and fire around them.They fled from the scene of the murder and hid in the soft jade and fragrant flower pavilion of the Hairpin Flower Building. They drank flower wine for three days and three nights in a row before they could barely drive out the tragic scene they saw in the main hall of Renyi Village. own memory.

In the afternoon of the fourth day, the tragic scene of the Luo family had faded from their minds, and Zheng Dongting finally decided to start doing some serious things.He brought his junior brother Zu Beiqiu to Wufu Tea House, ordered some light tea and light meals, and began to discuss their future plans.

Gu Nianfeng came at this time.

He knew that many people were looking for Zheng Dongting and Zu Beiqiu, and he also knew that they had become the biggest suspects.But he also knew that the Luo family and Lian Qingyan were behind the scenes, and he would definitely try his best to let everyone know that "the murderer is the Shuma of Taihang Mountain".So he didn't worry about what problems would arise when he came to see Zheng Dongting at this time.

"Long time no see." The young man in white approached calmly, his every move revealing endless elegance.

Such a man, even if he knew that he was the poison that sealed his throat with blood, still made people reluctant to look away.At least Zheng Dongting thinks so.

Zheng Dongting, who was eating peanuts, choked decisively because of surprise and daze.

"Ahem...cough..." He looked at Gu Nianfeng for a long time, speechless.keep coughing...

Gu Nianfeng smiled and walked slowly in front of Zheng Dongting.Shaking his head helplessly, he patted Zheng Dongting's back gently.Zheng Dongting coughed hard, and finally coughed up the peanut.

Zheng Dongting didn't care much, first grabbed Gu Nianfeng's sleeve, and then spoke with confidence: "You...why are you here?"

He couldn't remember exactly what happened two years ago, he only remembered what he seemed to hug Gu Nianfeng and said to him in a daze, and when he woke up, Gu Nianfeng had disappeared, and this disappearance was two Year.He heard that Tianshan Yuxia had been in retreat for two years, but he intuitively told himself that this retreat was more or less related to what he had said.

Did he say something wrong that made Gu Nianfeng angry?

Gu Nianfeng looked at Zheng Dongting's cautious eyes that he didn't notice, as if a child who had done something wrong was facing his parents...

"This time, you helped your junior brother Zu Beiqiu go to the Luo family to submit a letter of divorce. The Zu Luo family fought against each other when they disagreed. The two of you brothers joined forces to fight against hundreds of experts from the Luo family. You have done a great job, and from now on, the five sects and thirteen associations of the underworld will be the only ones to follow you." Gu Nianfeng said lightly, "Why don't I come when such a big thing happened to you?"

Even at such moments, I don't forget to check Zheng Dongting's favorability by the way.

As Gu Nianfeng said, he glanced out of the window inadvertently.He knew where Gong Tianying was watching.The Shuyu Pavilion next to the Wufu Teahouse happened to be his property, and he also knew that Lian Qingyan should be there by now.

"What?" Zheng Dongting was dumbfounded.At the same time, there was a loud sound of tables and chairs collapsing behind him, followed by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.Zheng Dongting turned his head and saw that Zu Beiqiu had fainted from fright at the moment.

Seeing the scene downstairs, Gong Tianying and Lian Qingyan in the Shuyu Pavilion were stunned at the same time, and almost spit out the tea in their mouths.Gong Tianying took a quick look at Lian Qingyan, and said calmly: "Such a guy is by no means the murderer of the Yangzhou tragedy. But the relationship between Brother Gu and the two of them seems to be unusual. Don't you forget to inform me at this time?"

Lian Qingyan swallowed the tea in her mouth in one gulp, and slowly shook the teacup without moving, watching the tea leaves spinning in the cup silently, seemingly turning a deaf ear to Gong Tianying's words.

Gu Nianfeng leisurely ordered tea and snacks, and lazily watched Zheng Dongting frantically pinching and slapping people, finally waking Zu Beiqiu up.

When Zu Beiqiu woke up, the first words he said were heart-piercing: "I'm wronged!"

"Which wind media released this news first?" Zheng Dongting threw Zu Beiqiu who had woken up on the seat beside him, and asked a little angrily.

"I don't know." Gu Nianfeng took a sip of tea before he said, "That day Zu Beiqiu held up the letter of divorce and entered Renyi Village, and there were many people in Yangzhou who saw it. You two outsiders were the only ones in and out of Luo's house that day. You are in Luo The Luo family was stranded for a day and a night. That night, the Luo family suddenly caught fire, and then someone saw the two of you escape from the fire. Moreover, you deliberately threw the Luo family's banner of benevolence and righteousness into the fire to show the meaning of extinction. This is the news that is circulating in the Jianghu."

"Hey, the flag of Luojia Renyi floated over my head with the wind. I threw it aside casually, and whoever knew it was swept away by the fire. That doesn't mean that the whole family is exterminated. They are talking nonsense, you don't want to Believe it!" Zheng Dongting knew that he had gotten into a big trouble when he heard this, and at this moment his whole body was soaked in cold sweat.

"I naturally believe that you didn't do it." Gu Nianfeng calmly checked his favorability again, and then continued to attack them, "But apart from you, no one came in, and no one came out. Anyone who knows this Factual people in the Jianghu will come to the same speculation as I just did. As long as you ask for a little money, all the people in the Jianghu will know the whole story of that day, and you are the biggest suspect in the massacre of the Luo family. When the time comes, you will be judged He is the master of the Guanzhong Sword Sect’s Criminal Hall.”

"What... Brother, now we have been wronged! Why did the Guanzhong Sword Sect set up a torture hall privately? Isn't this a flagrant violation of the law?" Zu Beiqiu asked tremblingly.

"Hmph, the Guanzhong Sword Sect has always been a place where chivalry and morality gather together. In the early Tang Dynasty, [-]% of the [-] black-armored guards under Emperor Taizong of Tang were trained by the Guanzhong Sword Sect. Huge cases that cannot be resolved by the government are all sent to the Guanzhong Sword Sect’s Criminal Hall for handling. As the leader of Jianghu, if I arrest important suspects, they must also be escorted to the Guanzhong Sword Sect’s Criminal Hall, where they will be convicted by torture. The arrest warrant issued by the Criminal Hall They are all supported by the Seven Great Sword Sects and the Eight Great Aristocratic Families. Bai Daoren uses this as an opportunity to become famous, so once the arrest warrant is issued, the wanted person will immediately become a rat on the street, and everyone will shout and beat him. Guan Siyu, the red-faced judge of the Hall of Justice He is stern and selfless, the torture is cruel and ruthless, and people in the Jianghu are famous like hell..."

Speaking of Guan Siyu's name, Zheng Dongting's face turned livid.Gu Nianfeng's trust gave him a lot of comfort.

He subconsciously asked Gu Nianfeng: "Now... what should I do?"

Gu Nianfeng raised his eyes and glanced at Zheng Dongting, feeling a little complicated.He had originally made up his mind to have a clean break with Zheng Dongting, but this man ran into his own world again.It's like you can't drive away no matter what...

"Hide!" Gu Nianfeng replied calmly, "Everyone knows that you two alone cannot kill hundreds of Luo family members."

"Exactly! Exactly!" Zu Beiqiu nodded as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

"But you can't find any evidence to prove your innocence. So you can only come out after the real culprit is found. Until then, you should hide." Gu Nianfeng seemed to be thinking about these two people, but in fact he I just want to get away from Lian Qingyan and stay away from these incidents.

"But we... we just went to submit a letter of divorce, but we were stunned by the Luo family and locked up. Later, the shouts of killing were earth-shattering, and we couldn't see who did it when we hid in the dungeon. It was not until we escaped from the sky that we saw dead bodies all over the floor, and the stench was suffocating. My senior brother and I hid in the Hairpin Tower and drank flower wine for three days and three nights before recovering." Zu Beiqiu said honestly .

"Junior brother, you don't need to talk about the hairpin flower building to make it embarrassing." Zheng Dongting blushed.

Gu Nianfeng chuckled and said nothing.Zheng Dongting explained embarrassingly: "We didn't do anything except drink."

"The fact that the Luo family stunned you in order to organize you to submit the letter of divorce, few people in the world will believe it." Gu Nianfeng ignored Zheng Dongting's embarrassment and said to himself, "Your one-sided words are completely useless. Or Hide away."

"Don't forget that I'm a gangster catcher, and I've solved many big cases. And my younger brother, he's very talented...we can definitely find the murderer." Zheng Dongting said hastily.

"Of course. But you will be very busy for the time being." Gu Nianfeng smiled.

Zheng Dongting felt that this smile seemed a little dangerous...

"Busy?" Zheng Dongting and Zu Beiqiu looked at each other, unable to guess the meaning of Gu Nianfeng's words.At this moment, a strong murderous aura suddenly filled this elegant Yangzhou teahouse.The icy cold penetrated into the limbs of Zheng Dongting and Zu Beiqiu, making them unable to move at will.

Gu Nianfeng, who had been sitting in front of them, suddenly got up at this moment and disappeared in an instant.

Although he knew that Gu Nianfeng was a jade hero of Tianshan, it would not be good for anyone to appear with someone of his reputation.Seeing Gu Nianfeng leaving without hesitation, Zheng Dongting felt inexplicably lost...

"Brother... When did these people come in?" Zu Beiqiu asked in fear.

At this moment, in the Wufu teahouse, four people from all walks of life in different costumes appeared at some point, and the murderous aura in the teahouse was transmitted from them.

Two of them were dressed in the neat suits of the Hu tribe outside the Great Wall, with green clothes and short jackets, and four-foot long swords in their backs. At a glance, they could be seen as brothers from the same school.The two have tattoos of yin and yang fish patterns on their foreheads, one has a yang fish on his head, and the other has a yin fish on his head.

The other two seem to be a pair of twin brothers, handsome in appearance, tall and slender, wearing a crown and a belt, with big sleeves facing the wind, and a three-foot Qingfeng sword hanging lazily on their waists like a pendant, revealing a touch of romance Free and easy.

Zheng Dongting suddenly pushed Zu Beiqiu's shoulder forcefully, and moved his person three feet horizontally, the golden light shone, a token like a money dart passed in front of Zu Beiqiu, and nailed it shockingly on the tea table in front of them , humming and shaking.

Zu Beiqiu took a closer look, and saw the five big characters of "Jianghu Arrest Order" impressively engraved on this resplendent token.

"Can you two recognize this card?" The pair of men dressed in Hu suits outside the Great Wall asked in unison.

"I know..." Zheng Dongting was dripping with cold sweat, "This is the arrest warrant signed by Master Guan himself."

"Punish evil swordsman Sun Zhong in Xiaguan." The man with the Yang fish tattoo on his head said coldly.

"Promote the good sword Linghujie in Xiaguan." The man with the Yin fish tattoo on his head said sharply, "Since you know how powerful it is, I invite you two to go to Guanzhong with my brothers and sisters. Uncle Guan is waiting for you two in the torture hall." .”

Hearing the words "Uncle Guan", Zheng Dongting trembled all over, and various instruments of torture in the Guanzhong Criminal Hall, including three or six major punishments and 72 minor punishments, appeared one after another before his eyes, and he felt the corners of his mouth twitching uncontrollably up.

Just after Linghujie revealed his name, a burst of clear laughter came from the mouths of the strange pair of twin brothers.

"In the Guanzhong Torture Hall, the large and small instruments of torture are too cruel. Why don't we let the Yuenv Palace handle this matter? Once the Yuenvgong's soul-moving technique is performed, no matter how stubborn you are, you can speak the truth." One of the twin brothers With a cold smile, he raised his voice.

Changsun Zhong and Linghu Jie were terrified.Linghujie said in a deep voice: "Could it be that the two are the swordsman Shuangliu of the palace outside the palace, Mr. Shuangliu?"

"That's right, I'm Fufeng Liu Twelve."

"Invite Yunliu Thirteen."

As soon as their names were uttered, Zu Beiqiu only heard three hissing gasps from the sword mouths of Zheng Dongting and Guan Zhong brothers.

The Yuenv Palace began to recruit men from the mid-Zhenguan period, and built a foreign pavilion to study new schools of swordsmanship. The Tang Dynasty was suddenly flooded with male swordsmen from the Yuenv Palace.The pair of willow masters created their own Huifengwu Liujian on the basis of Yuenvgong's swordsmanship. This swordsmanship requires the combination of two swords and the connection of hearts. It is very suitable for twins to use together, and its power is amazing.

The eldest grandson Zhongqiang calmed down and said: "Once the soul-shifting technique is performed, the recipient will be foolish for life, and there is no cure. The method seems too drastic."

Young Master Liu Shisan smiled slightly: "The palace lord has a very deep friendship with the former Luo seniors, and the ancestors of the Luo family have also been kind to the palace lord's hometown, so this time the Luo family was bloodbathed, the palace lord was extremely furious, and has ordered to arrest him at all costs. A murderer. A little sacrifice is necessary compared to arresting a great murderer. Could it be that Master Guan, who is so powerful in the world with his criminal name, wants to soften his heart at this moment?"

"Or," Mr. Liu Twelve's tone suddenly turned cold, "You two want to grab the credit with my brother?"

"Cold..." Zu Beiqiu couldn't help lying down on the tea table at this moment, trembling all over.Zheng Dongting quickly pushed the hot tea on the table to his eyes, and whispered: "Drink it while it's hot, it will be colder later."
