Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 180 Starry Night Sets the "Endgame"

Night, Dengzhou City.

In the past, the head of the Cao Gang, which was quiet and orderly, was full of guests tonight.

The houses on the whole street near them were house after house, one after another, no matter in the hall or in the courtyard, almost all the places where tables and chairs could be placed were filled with banquets, that scene, The end is lively.

Obviously, Chief Di is treating a guest to dinner, and he has already prepared this meal.

According to his original plan, this should be a celebratory banquet - in order to celebrate his becoming the head of the sect, it is only natural to invite all the tycoons who attended the meeting today.

However, plans can't keep up with changes...

At the Qixiong meeting during the day today, Di Bujuan was not selected as the chief sect master as he wished. Of course, he can't be said to have "lost the election", but can only say... Let's discuss.

So what's going on here?
In fact, it was in the afternoon. Di Buyi saw that the matter of Hunyuan Stargate joining the Four Sects and Three Gangs was a done deal, so he calculated on the stage: "After all the troubles of the Zhang and Huang, now Chivalry, Loyalty, and Xingyi are all against me, Cao Laosan, an old fox, has already stabbed me in the back, and He Yinshan is a fool... If I start discussing the election of the head of the sect now, then I Absolutely can't be selected, we must find a way to put this aside..."

As soon as he made up his mind, he found an excuse to bring up the previous incident...that is, the death of Ge Shi, and the attack on Guo Cong and Lin Yuancheng, saying that it was related to him. Moreover, he also wanted to "return the Chivalry Sect to justice", so before finding out, he suggested that the matter of choosing the chief sect leader should be put aside.

The reason that Di Bujuan came up with...is very good, because he is not the only one who is suspected of this matter; as he analyzed in his sophistry, if he follows the motive of "putting blame on the Cao Gang and stealing the head of the sect" Well, every head of the four sects and three gangs is suspected, so it is really inappropriate to choose the chief sect master before you figure it out. Shouldn't he be killed and re-elected?
And when Di Bujuan mentioned it, the leaders of the other factions are not very good at objecting, because objecting would appear suspicious, as if you were the one who did the thing.

The heads of the Four Sects and Three Gangs do not object, and people from other sects will not object—anyway, at this moment, you have also appointed the newly joined seventh sect, and those sects who want to join your alliance are gone. Without hope, now who of you is the head of the sect is none of their business?

As for those gangsters who are here to save face or join in the fun and "become witnesses", they have also witnessed the "open and just" selection of the Hunyuan Star Gate into the Four Sects and Three Gangs. How will you find out that Ge Shi's death is yours? It's an internal matter, and they have no objection.

In this way, this session of the Seven Heroes will come to an end.

This is also the first time since the establishment of the alliance of the four sects and three gangs that they ended the meeting without electing the chief sect master.

This will be broken up, but the people are not broken up.

According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, generally speaking, after everyone comes to participate in this kind of gathering of comrades, the party in charge of the host will treat them.

Although Di Bujuan was in a very depressed mood, the banquet had to be done... Even if he didn't do it temporarily, the cook, ingredients, tables and chairs, tableware, etc. he had ordered in advance would still have to be paid for , then why should he offend others even after losing money?

Therefore, around the time of application, the Caobang fleet started to ship one after another, and began to transport those high-ranking people back home.

After returning from Liugong Island, these hundreds of martial arts people almost went straight to the main rudder of the Cao Gang, just in time for the meal.

This group... are all martial arts practitioners. They have a lot of appetite in the first place, and they didn't have a good lunch today. Now it's not a big deal to come to the extravagant banquet set up by the Cao Gang. Will you be polite to Master Di again... That guy shakes off his cheeks and pulls back his molars, doesn't care if it's delicacies or coarse grains, he just gobbles it down.

But Gang Leader Di himself was so angry that his stomach hurt, he couldn't eat anything, and he had to force a laugh to greet the guests.

…………

To make a long story short, at three o'clock, the banquet was finally over.

Although most people went back to the inn by themselves after drinking and eating, there were also quite a few rough men who "drink and lie down like corpses", and these had to be carried out by the Cao Gang.

And when the gangsters of the Cao Gang worked overtime overnight to clean up the mess, Di Bujuan was also cleaning up another "clutter".

…………

squeak--

Accompanied by the sound of the door shaft turning, Di Bujuan pushed open the door of a teahouse and walked in.

The teahouse is spacious and brightly lit.

At this moment, five people were already sitting inside waiting for him.

Who are these five? I think everyone can guess: Lu Kang, the master of the Chivalrous Gate, and his senior sister Lei Sanniang; Lu Yan, the master of the Loyalty Gate, and his younger brother Lu Shiyuan; the other is the Xingyi Gate. Shao Dejin, the master of the sect.

Di Bujuan invited them here to discuss about the assassin's ambush of their disciples.

After all, this incident was caused by Di Buyi's sister-in-law, Ruan Shi. Although the matter has not been revealed yet, it is obviously not "closed". The plan to become the chief sect master will be hindered, and it may even be unfavorable to his "nephew" Di Gui someday in the future.

Therefore, at the banquet today, while greeting the guests, Di Bujuan was secretly thinking about how to expose this matter...

His resourcefulness in the city is still good, and it didn't take long for him to have an idea, so he sent someone to invite the four from the Chivalry Gate and the Loyalty Gate to the teahouse for a talk after the banquet.

As for Shao Dejin... Actually, no one invited him, he saw Master Lu and the others going to the back hall after the banquet, so he followed him.

Now, there is really no need for Shao Dejin to come, because Lin Yuancheng has turned against him and is no longer a member of his Xingyimen. What position does he have to seek "justice" for Lin Yuancheng?But this person surnamed Shao, everyone knows... the heart of a villain, he felt that there was something to gain in this matter, and he would lose if he didn't come.

So not only did Shao Dejin come, but he was also very arrogant. He looked at Di Bujuan who had just entered the room, and was the first to speak: "Governor Di is so arrogant, let us wait."

Others would not say this, not even Lei Sanniang, who has suffered a lot and has a deep hatred, because they all understand that Di Bujuan will come late, and it is also to entertain those fellows outside; They came for the Cao Gang, but for the "Seven Heroes Club". If Di Bujuan didn't greet well at the banquet, it would be the face of the Four Sects and Three Gangs.

Only Shao Dejin insisted on looking for such a low slant, as if he said that, Di Bujuan had lost the truth and owed him something.

"Di Mou, I still have to take care of the face of these four sects and three gangs..." Sure enough, when Di Buti took his seat, he retorted, "I'm not like some people. .”

"Huh!" Shao Dejin patted the coffee table when he heard the words, "Your surname is Di, what is your identity? The old sect master Lu is still sitting here, when will it be your turn to face the face of the four sects and three gangs..."

"That's enough, that's enough..." Unexpectedly, it was Lu Yan who interrupted him in the next second, "Master Shao's kindness is appreciated, but I'm afraid I can't bear it with my old bones."

Although this Lu Yan is old, his mind is not confused.

When did Shuangxie talk about this before?It was at the Seven Heroes Meeting—there was a big crowd, and all the people watched, and thousands of people from all over the world were watching. Then they could use this set of "discussing etiquette" methods to set up Di Bujuan.

But what occasion is now?This is the back hall of the chief rudder of the Cao Gang. Several heads and deputy heads within the four sects and three gangs are negotiating in private. Are you talking about this, Shao Dejin, at a time like this?Who cares about you?You even raised my old Lu as a sword envoy of Shang Fang...Are you stupid?

"Eh? You..." Shao Dejin didn't expect to be blocked by Lu Yan, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Di Bujuan was really too lazy to talk to this trash, just ignored him, and continued: "Everyone, there are no outsiders here at the moment, only a few of our sects related to 'that matter' are here, so Di has something to say Just say it straight..." He paused, "I can swear to God, the people who sent killers to kill Nephew Ge, Nephew Guo, and Lin Shaoxia were definitely not me, Di, if this statement is true, I would like to be begged for my life by a fierce ghost, not to die a good death, to fall into the eighteenth level of hell and never to be reborn forever."

"Ha! What a joke!" Before the other party finished speaking, Shao Dejin laughed loudly, "Can a poisonous oath be used as evidence? Can you ask if everyone here believes you?"

However, Lu Kang, Lei Sanniang and the Lu brothers did not laugh.

If Shao Dejin swears and swears to say these things here today, no one will believe it, but what Di Bujuan said...the credibility is not low.

The reason is simple - Shao Dejin is a villain, but Di Bujuan is a hero.

The villain has the convenience of the villain, and the hero has the burden of the hero.

A person like Di Bujuan is arrogant and self-respecting. As cruel as he is to others, he is obsessed with self-worship.

If you want to say that Di Bujuan will do some shady things behind the scenes, and then deny it in front of others, it is not surprising; but if you want to say that he will swear on his own life, or even the next life, he should do it. Can't come out...

Even if he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, nor is he afraid of ghosts and gods, but as long as there is a slight possibility...that poisonous curse will come true, he won't let himself bear the risk.

Furthermore, what Di Bujuan said on the stage of the Qixionghui is also true: with the current strength of the Cao Gang, as long as everything goes on as usual, the chief sect master is undoubtedly in his pocket, and he has no reason to plot What about those juniors?Regardless of whether the plot is successful or not, it will do him no good, it will only ruin his business.

"Well... Lu also believes that you didn't do this." After a moment of silence, Lu Yan also ignored Shao Dejin, and said directly to Di Bujuan, "It's just..."

"It's just that this matter happened on the territory of my Cao Gang. As the leader of the gang, I should give you an 'account'." Di Bujuan took Lu Yan's words and continued, "This... ...Of course I also understand." He pretended that he really didn't know who the murderer was, and said, "But it takes time to find out the truth, and even if it takes time, the truth may not be revealed..."

The second half of his sentence, these old Jianghu also understand.

In those years, the government had a lot of unclear murder cases, let alone Jianghu and Green Forest Road.

For example, a disciple of sect A and a disciple of sect B met by chance on an uninhabited mountain path. The two had a dispute, and then one of them killed the other and kicked the corpse. Kicked down the mountain... How should I investigate this matter?
As long as the murderer doesn't mention it to others, who will know the whereabouts of the deceased?The corpse fell to the bottom of the cliff, and it was very likely that it would be eaten by wild animals in less than half a day. Why is there such a coincidence in this world that someone just found the corpse under the cliff within half a day?Not to mention... Even if someone found the body, that person might not report it to the police; why would they get involved in a life lawsuit that has nothing to do with him?What if the government in that place directly arrests the person who reported to the officials as a murderer in order to close the case and take credit for it?This kind of thing was also very common in those days.

In short, in the evil old society, there are so many such unresolved murders, Di Bujuan's sentence "there may not be the truth"... nothing else, it is very real.

"Then my son Ge Shizhi's death...is it just so ignorant?" Lei Sanniang absolutely could not accept this kind of answer.

"Senior Sister Lei, be safe and don't be impatient." Di Bujuan replied, "I said, check... I will naturally check, but I can't guarantee how long the investigation will take, let alone what the result will be. Come." When he said this, he changed the subject, "Let's take a step back and say, even if one day I find out the real culprit and hand him over to Senior Sister Lei, you will be hacked into pieces, and Nephew Ge will not be able to die. resurrection."

"Then what do you mean..." Lei Sanniang became angry again, and her tone suddenly became aggressive again, "Can you make me mourn?"

"No, no, no..." Di Bujuan said, "I just want to persuade Senior Sister Lei, the future will be bright, don't get so angry because of the grievances that can't be repaid at this moment..."

The words are all good words, and Lei Sanniang is not good at cursing the street with these words, so she can only snort coldly: "Humph... I am still very strong, don't worry about it."

Seeing that he had stabilized the most difficult sufferer, Di Bujuan stopped repeating this matter, he immediately raised his hand and clapped it twice.

As soon as the applause fell, a few members of the Cao Gang lifted the curtain behind the teahouse, and humming, humming, brought out two large boxes.

thump—

thump—

The sound of these two boxes falling to the ground is very similar, and ordinary people may not be able to hear the difference, but to these experts, one can clearly distinguish which is heavier and which is slightly lighter.

"No matter what, Nephew Ge was killed in the territory of my Cao Gang this time, and those killers came here to frame me..." Di Buti continued, "So, no matter what Di said, he couldn't say no. Blame it." He pointed at the heavy box, and said to Lu Kang and Lei Sanniang, "This box is a little bit of Di's affection for Nephew Ge and the Chivalrous Sect, more or less... ... I hope you two will bear with me."

Ladies and gentlemen, youdao is a celebrity face of sake, and money touches people's hearts.

What Di Bujuan said made sense: now that the person is dead, you won't be able to find the murderer for a while, and even if you find it in the future, you won't be able to bring Ge Shi back from the dead.However, the box of "benefits" in front of me is within reach.

In addition, Di Bujuan knew long before today that the financial situation of the Chivalry Sect has been quite bad in the past few years, because their younger generation has not produced any decent talents for a long time, so their local power has not been very strong. It is a bit difficult to develop, or even keep the original business... Under such circumstances, this large box of property can be said to be a timely help, at least it can solve their urgent needs.

Sure enough, at this moment, Lu Kang looked at the box, and immediately cast an almost pleading look at Senior Sister Lei.

Lord Lumen knows the current situation of Chivalrymen best. Their actual situation is actually worse than what Di Bujuan found out, so they really need this money...

As for Lei Sanniang, she really wanted to reply, "Did I buy my son's life with this box of money?", but seeing Lu Kang's eyes, she still held back.

Think about it calmly, even if she tries to force Di Bujuan again, she probably won't get any better results than this, and she still has to rely on the Cao Gang to help her find the murderer, so it's not good for the relationship between the two parties to deteriorate further.

So, Lei Sanniang weighed in, and finally... silently nodded to Lu Kang.

If Lu Kang was granted amnesty, he cupped his hands at Di Butian and said, "Master Di...that's too polite."

This is Lao Lu's hypocritical refusal, which is a routine procedure.

As soon as Di Buyi heard this sentence, he knew it was done, and immediately showed a cheerful smile: "Haha... Where is Lumen Master, it should be, it should be!"

After finishing speaking, he turned to Lu Yan again, and continued: "Master, on stage today, Di Mou was impulsive and said some unpleasant things... Although your lord has a lot of people, you probably won't talk to me. This junior is fussy, but..." He pointed to the lighter box again, "I still hope you can accept this little favor from me."

"Hehe..." Lu Yan smirked twice when he saw this, "Master Di is serious. Our two factions are like a family. After Zhongyimen came to Dengzhou, they were treated warmly by Cao Gang. How dare I... "

"Hey~" Di Bujuan interrupted the old man's polite words, "This box is not only to apologize to Master Lumen, but also to shock Nephew Guo. You should accept it for the sake of the younger generation. Come down."

"Hmm..." Lu Yan exchanged glances with Lu Shiyuan next to him, and then replied, "Well, the old man should be respectful as well."

Don't look at these guys blowing their beards and staring at the Qixiong meeting during the day, saying all kinds of ugly things, and almost fighting... At this moment, they all change their faces when they say it.

This is Jiang Hu.

Where are there so many "champions" in Jianghu, the vast majority here are just "people".

People who have been in this big dye vat for a long time will probably have several "faces", and they all understand the truth that "one who knows the current affairs is a hero".

Perhaps they were loyal when they were young, but when they became "senior", "master", "head", and "famous", they had to start talking about interests.

And speaking of benefits...

"Hmm!" Shao Dejin, who had been sitting on the sidelines for a long time and ignored no one, was already a little anxious at this moment, he couldn't help but cleared his throat loudly, wanting Di Bujuan to take his share as well.

Of course...

"Master Shao, what's the matter with you?" Di Buyi looked at him coldly, his expression seemed to say "Why are you still here".

Then Shao Dejin said in a tone of voice: "Master Di, don't be stupid, give me an 'account' for Xingyimen?"

"Confess what?" Di Buyu's tone remained unchanged, "Isn't Lin Yuancheng your enemy? Your enemy was plotted against, and others still have to explain to you? What's the point?"

"This..." The corners of Shao Dejin's mouth twitched, and he held back for a long time to say, "He...he was still from my Xingyimen when he was plotted against."

"That's what I said..." Di Buyu took a sip of tea from the teacup on the table unhurriedly, and then responded leisurely, "A married daughter, can I find another bachelor to accept another dowry? "

His example is a bit odd, but the point is about the same.

The other four also looked at Shao Dejin coldly, not intending to speak for him.

Shao Dejin's face turned blue with anger, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay...okay, Master Di Gaolun, Shao has written it down...huh!" With that said, he stood up, turned around and walked out, " Farewell!"

And until he went out, Di Bujuan didn't look up at him.
