The Founding of the Red Chamber

Zhao Heipi revealed everyone's details with one word, Mu Qiuting stabbed Zhao Heipi's vital point with a sword, but was blocked by the ghost in gray, one blue and one gray, two shadows fighting together.

There was a fight in the cabin, and the two hatches were immediately closed.

Mr. Peng didn't look at Zhao Heipi again, but instead glared at Fu Tongzhi. Fu Tongzhi waved his hands again and again, wishing he could tear out his heart to show his innocence, and said repeatedly, "Mr. Guaranteed! Master Peng! We have been friends for several years, you must trust me this time!"

How dare Mr. Peng trust Fu Tongzhi? He is not without severance. With a wave of his hand, two guards guard Fu Tongzhi. Mr. Peng said, "If you misunderstand Mr. Fu, Mr. Peng will definitely go to apologize to Mr. Fu in the future. Apologize."

Fu Tongzhi couldn't move, but he was temporarily safe. He breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Mr. Peng didn't mean to kill him immediately, and said to Mr. Peng, "Brother Peng brought Zhao Heipi, and I would like to share with him Face to face."

Zhao Heipi was obviously also staring at Lord Peng's direction, with an unnatural expression of nervousness, and shouted, "Guard master! The magistrate already knows the details of these people, and the gang leader is also an official of the imperial court, so he will definitely not protect the thief. Be an enemy, be an enemy of Lord Zhifu!"

Situ San protected Zhang Biao and said loudly, "Master Peng, Brother Biao is your son-in-law and a disciple of the Cao Gang. Today, Zhao Heipi colluded with the government, and the conspiracy is huge! Is it true that Mr. Peng wants to hand over the Cao Gang to Zhao Heipi?" !"

Although Zhang and Zhao didn't bring many people into the cabin, the two groups fought together as early as when Zhao Heipi turned his face.Before Situ San could finish his voice, Zhao Heipi's complexion changed drastically, and he immediately said at the top of his voice, "Master Peng, I, Zhao Heipi, are only acting under the order of Xie Zhifu, and I dare not show any disrespect!"

Before Zhao Heipi finished speaking, Master Peng waved his hand coldly, and hundreds of strong guards rushed in behind him, all armed with knives and crossbows, full of murderous intent.As soon as Zhang Biao shook Situ San's hand, he didn't retreat, but walked directly towards Master Peng under the protection of the guards.Walking all the way to Master Peng, Zhang Biao looked at Master Peng, and said in a deep voice, "I listen to my father-in-law! If I get on the boat today, I will put my life and death aside. If my father-in-law has something to say, just order it." There was a fight in the cabin, and the two doors The hatch closed immediately.At this juncture of life and death, Zhang Biao did not feel the slightest panic. He looked directly at Master Peng with a calm expression.

"A Biao, I really didn't misread you." Mr. Peng gave Zhang Biao a meaningful look, and casually took the strong bow from the guard's hand. Mr. Peng said in a deep voice, "A Biao, you have been in the Cao Gang for a long time, and you haven't seen it yet. You have seen the rules of my Cao Gang. Today, I will show you.” After finishing speaking, Mr. Peng lightly pulled his strong bow and pulled it to perfection. An arrow with carved feathers pierced the air, and chased Zhao Heipi like a stream. go.

The arrow was so fast that the human eye could only see an afterimage passing by, but with a sharp howl of wind, like the scream of the undead, it attacked Zhao Heipi!Zhao Heipi failed to dodge in time, but a loyal guard used his body as a shield to block Zhao Heipi, and the carved feather arrow instantly sank into the guard's neck.

Situ San sighed with a sigh, but saw that the eagle's arrow was still going, and it pierced through the guard's neck forcefully, and then it was directly nailed into Zhao Heipi's neck!

All of this was completed in an instant, but it seemed as if the time had been elongated by infinite silence, as if the surrounding killings had lost their sound and became a dull background.At this moment, the guard's body suddenly fell down, and a thick blood arrow violently spurted out from the folded neck!Zhao Heipi was castrated by the Diao Ling arrow and took a few steps back. Finally, his eyes widened and he fell to the ground, blood seeping into the big red carpet on the floor.

Situ San's eyes couldn't hide his astonishment. Mr. Peng was fat and plump, of medium height, round and round like a rich man who made a fortune from harmony, but he didn't expect to have such amazing and good archery skills.Master Peng shot Zhao Heipi to death with an arrow, and the gray-clothed man who was fighting with Peng Qiuting immediately turned over in mid-air, stepped on the wall of the ship with one foot, leaned over and smashed through the window of the ship, and disappeared.

Shoot people first, shoot horses, and capture thieves first.

Mr. Peng knew how to win. He shot Zhao Heipi with one arrow. Zhao Heipi's subordinates lost their leader and immediately turned into a mess. Zhang Biao's subordinates were always ruthless. He didn't hear the order to stop, so he directly took Zhao Heipi to death. The dozen or so people who entered were all hacked to death.

Zhang Biao was standing beside Master Peng. He suddenly grabbed a steel knife from the guard and stabbed it into Fu Tongzhi's abdomen.

Fu Tongzhi was guarded by Mr. Peng's people as early as the beginning of the two gangs fighting each other. Zhang Biao was Mr. Peng's son-in-law and a disciple of the Cao Gang. No one expected him to attack Fu Tongzhi suddenly.Therefore, Zhang Biao succeeded!

Master Peng frowned, "A Biao, you—"

With a twist of Zhang Biao's wrist, the blade circled in Fu Tongzhi's stomach.Fu Tongzhi still maintained the posture of protecting the steel knife, his eyes were full of disbelief, a scream was muffled in his throat, his mouth and nose were bleeding, and he died.Zhang Biao let go of the handle of the knife, and with a push, he pushed Fu Tongzhi's body out. He said in a deep voice, "As a last resort, I concealed my true identity from my father-in-law. Now our identities have been revealed by Zhao Heipi. There is no place for Jinling City anymore. Zhao Heipi's subordinates have all been killed, and I can serve as security for these people under my command. The people of the Cao Gang are trusted by my father-in-law. The only Fu Tongzhi, if he cannot be dealt with, there will be endless troubles !"

"Today, I am afraid that I will die, but I, Zhang Biao, a dignified man, would rather die in battle than be captured alive by the government. If I can solve the disaster of Fu Tongzhi for my father-in-law before I die, it will not be in vain for my father-in-law to value me. Promise me to love my daughter. After our brothers left, their mother and son were entrusted to my father-in-law to take care of them. All my brothers were entrusted to my father-in-law, and I also asked my father-in-law to take care of them for the sake of my son-in-law and give them food."

What Zhang Biao said was upright, Master Peng sighed, "A Biao, you are really reckless."

There was a violent slapping sound from the cabin door, and someone shouted, "Master Peng, under the order of the magistrate, arrest the important criminals of the imperial court! Please cooperate with Mr. Peng and open the hatch!"

Zhang Biao's face was as heavy as water, his lips were pursed into a line, and he was about to walk towards the cabin door, but he was held down by Mr. Peng, who winked at a guard beside him.The guard walked over a few steps, glanced through the broken window of the man in gray, and said, "Master, he is a soldier of the yamen."

Master Peng twitched his eyebrows and asked, "There are only yamen soldiers and horses, are there any soldiers and horses under General Jinling?"

The guard looked again and said, "I don't see the Jinling garrison." The clothes of the garrison and the government officials are completely different.

Master Peng suddenly laughed, and said to Zhang Biao, "My good boy, the sky will never stop you, who dares to accept you!"

Zhang Biao didn't understand what he meant, but an old fritter like Mr. Peng who had dealt with the government for generations knew it.Don't think that the Cao Gang is no better than the Jianghu Gang, but the Cao Gang is the largest gang in the Jianghu, with deep and wide influence.Lord Peng is able to make connections with the Jinling Palace. If he really wants to attack the Cao Gang, he must go to Jinling to garrison troops. Otherwise, with the hundreds of people in the government office, it is not Lord Peng who is talking big, and it is not necessarily forced by someone. Who is weak!

There was no Jinling garrison outside, indicating that this matter was only ordered by the magistrate's yamen.

Even Master Peng glanced at Fu Tongzhi who died on the ground, maybe this matter was not ordered by the prefect.After all, when the prefect took office, he did good deeds of building bridges and paving roads, and he received their filial piety on weekdays, and he had no dissatisfaction with them.

Even if the magistrate really wants to deal with the Cao Gang, it is impossible to send only a few hundred yamen servants!

Furthermore, even if the previous magistrate was eager to make some credits to flatter him, he was only targeting the small gang in Jinling City, and he didn't dare to offend the Cao Gang.

Now, Xie Youxie, the magistrate who was born in a wealthy family, and Xie Youxie, the magistrate who has a good relationship with the King of Jinling, if the Cao Gang is involved, how could Fu Tongzhi come to this banquet?Unless Zhifu Xie and Fu Tongzhi had a feud long ago, they didn't tell us about the eradication of the Cao Gang.However, prefect Xie just took office, so how could he have a life-and-death enmity with Fu Tongzhi?

In this short moment, thousands of thoughts have turned in Master Peng's mind.

Then, he calmly said to Zhang Biao, "Zhao Heipi is dead, I can help you. It is Fu Tongzhi, he is the official of the imperial court, this matter can be pushed to Zhao Heipi. A Biao, would you like to continue?" Stay in Jinling City? Let me tell you the truth, the people outside here are just government servants, there are not many people in total. No matter how you say it, it is not a big problem to save you today."

Zhang Biao still shook his head and said, "Father-in-law knows my details and didn't dislike my background. My son-in-law is very grateful. However, there is no wall in the world without leaks. If I leak my details today, it will be difficult to stay in Jinling City." Just in case, I want to leave at night, just because I don't care about their mother and son."

Master Peng didn't exchange pleasantries and said, "My daughter is my own daughter, and my grandson is my own grandson. You can rest assured."

Zhang Biao immediately knelt down, and without waiting for Master Peng to stop him, he knocked his three heads on the carpet, and stood up leisurely, "If my son-in-law has a life, I will never forget my father-in-law's great kindness for the rest of my life."

"Since you call me father-in-law, you don't have to be courteous to me." Master Peng didn't drag Zhang Biao to say anything more, and ordered someone to fetch a bag of gold and silver, and then asked Mu Qiuting, "Brother Mu, Brother Yu is really right. You can't live..."

Mu Qiuting said, "If brother Peng hadn't taken him in, Qiuting's life would have been lost. The matter has come to this, why don't I take Brother Zhang and the others away and find a good place to stay."

Master Peng sighed, "A Biao is my beloved son-in-law, and you are my brother. I originally wanted to be close for a long time, and I didn't want to part at a moment's notice. It's useless to talk about it now. If you have a place to stay, don't worry about it." Someone must come and tell me, and make me feel at ease."

Both of them agreed.

Master Peng looked at Situ San and said, "I will hand over A Biao to you. You are a loyal child, take good care of him." Then he said to Zhang Biao, "There is one brother who lives and dies together in the world, and that is Tian Da. You and San'er share good and bad together, I only hope that you will be good brothers for a lifetime with one heart and one mind."

Both of them agreed.

Mr. Peng prepared a boat for them.

Tell them to take the rest of the brothers in the cabin and leave as soon as possible, while ordering people to open the cabin door.Sure enough, Zhao Heipi's brother-in-law Xie Bantou led people to guard outside the cabin. As soon as Xie Bantou came, he said, "Where is Zhang Biao?"

Mr. Peng ignored it and said instead, "Zhao Heipi went crazy and fought to the death with A Biao. Fu Tongzhi was also killed by Zhao Heipi. I was about to send someone to the yamen to report the case, and it happened that the leader Xie came. I don’t want to bother the two masters, please come in and check it out. As for Zhang Biao, Zhao Heipi invited a top killer to kill him, I don’t know where he is hiding.”

Seeing that his brother-in-law had lost his life, Xie Bantou's expression changed completely. He raised his arm and held the knife in his hand to stand in front of Mr. Peng. His eyes were full of hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The Cao Gang killed these people, please wait for Mr. Peng to wait." Sit in this hall for a while. I'm going to report to the magistrate, and someone will come for an autopsy later on!"

Elder Chen beside Mr. Peng sneered, "It's the first time in this world that someone handed a knife to Mr. Peng! Thanks to the boss, he came to Cao Gang in the middle of the night. I don't know what advice I can give!"

Leader Xie said coldly, "I found out that the murderers of the two massacres in Fengrao County, Situ San, Zhang Biao and others had changed their names and turned themselves into merchants in Jinling City. Girl, I don't know if Lord Peng has heard about this matter before, or did it on purpose?"

Master Peng smiled, "Even people like Bantou Xie are only found out now, how could I have known about it long ago? Bantou Xie, don't joke about it."

"Then how did anyone see that Mu Qiuting had contacts with the Cao Gang?"

"Who is Mu Qiuting, and please tell the boss Xie Ban frankly that I don't know anything?" Master Peng suddenly turned his face cold, and said coldly, "Speaking of which, I am also a fifth-rank official, Xie Ban The head is nothing more than a small official in the magistrate's yamen! If the leader of Xie has any advice for me, I should first ask for the warrant from the magistrate, and Peng will definitely be there! As for the others, I am sorry that Peng is too tired to accompany me today. !” After saying that, Master Peng pushed Xie Bantou’s saber away with one hand, and left with a flick of his sleeves!

Xie Bantou's face turned pale and white, so embarrassing!

It is said that Zhang Biao, Situ San and the others were originally suspicious of Master Peng's intentions, but today they were able to escape thanks to Master Peng, and even successfully reunited with Situ Sixiaozi and others.

Zhang Biao couldn't take all these people away, except for the dozen or so people in the hall who fought against Zhao Heipi's subordinates, Zhang Biao told them all to go back and join Mr. Peng.

One person, unexpectedly by Zhang Biao, was also on board.

Peng Li was in the cabin, accompanied by a candle, holding a book in his hand. Seeing Zhang Biao coming in, the blood was still wet on his lapel, Peng Li said warmly, "I will send my brother-in-law out of Jinling City."
