Northern River Sword

He Ruying asked the disciples to go back to He's house first, Xie Beihan wanted to follow He Ruying for shelter, so he had to go back to Xie's house first to settle the family affairs properly.He Ruying was afraid that something would happen to him on the way, so he accompanied him to Nanyang.

All the members of the Beggar Gang left with Xue Hongliao, Su Yi and Qiao'er were left in Qiujiazhuang, and they were stunned when they heard what happened in the past few days from the servant.

Su Yi was in a daze, and he said after a long time: "Miss Qiu is dead? I've long thought that the kid surnamed Xie is not a good guy! Master Qiu is so skilled in martial arts, why didn't he kill him to avenge his daughter?"

The servant said indignantly: "Our master made a move, but he was stopped by Leader He. The eldest lady is just gone, how can we suffer this loss! I think the owner will definitely go to settle accounts with that kid! Unless thank you Bei Han has made an appointment with Leader He, or our Qiu family will make him pay for it sooner or later!"

Su Yi clapped his hands and said: "Well said! Xie Beihan is so disgusting that a three-year-old kid sees him and throws stones at him. I feel so suffocated that I really want to beat him myself. "

The family member said: "Little brother has such a chivalrous heart, and everyone in the Qiu family has accepted your favor. Your master asked me to inform you to return to Luoyang. Let's go, little girl." After receiving the message, he bowed and retreated.

Qiao'er's body was almost healthy, she got up and made the bed, took her belongings and went back to Luoyang with Su Yi.Su Yi sat still, and asked for a long time, "Where are you going?"

Qiao'er said: "Master told us to go home, didn't you hear?"

Su Yi rolled his eyes, and said slyly: "What's the point of going back to Luoyang? Have you heard that Xie Beihan has gone back to his hometown. I don't think this matter can be settled so easily. Master Qiu's precious daughter died , It’s not that a kitten and puppy died, how could we let go of it with him. Let’s go to Nanyang, there must be a good show.”

Qiao'er only wanted to live her own life well, and didn't want to cause trouble. She shook her head repeatedly when she heard what he said, and said, "I won't go. If they fight again, it will be very dangerous. I still want to live in peace. It's 99 years old. Besides, we haven't been back for a month, what if the land is robbed?"

Su Yi hated iron for being weak and said: "Oh, where is begging for food is not begging for food! You are just so promising... Forget it, if you don't go, I will go by myself! You have been lying on the bed for so long, in order to take care of you, Bringing soup and medicine in the morning and evening, I didn't catch up with all the excitement in Qiujiazhuang happening right under my nose, it's too bad!"

He shook his head and sighed, as if very sorry.Qiao'er felt that what he said was reasonable, and she was grateful to him for taking care of herself, so she took his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I'll just go with you."

Xie Beihan returned to his hometown, enshrined Xie Biao's spiritual tablet in the ancestral hall, collected all the land deeds and property, and dismissed the redundant servants in the family, leaving only an old housekeeper to help him manage the farm.After he finished taking care of the housework, everyone left, the mansion was empty, and it was a completely different world from the Xie family in its heyday.

He stood in the yard, and there were two wooden dummy posts erected in the field. Xie Biao taught him boxing here when he was a child.At that time, he felt that his father was tall and majestic, his fists were pounding, and he was as strong as a mountain, which he would never compare to.

In the blink of an eye, things changed and people changed, Xie Biao was dead, and he was lingering under He Ruying's hands, and he didn't know how many days he would live.He punched a set of punches with his upper hand, and tears fell down when he punched.Suddenly he heard a person behind him saying: "You little bastard still know how to cry? When you killed my daughter, why didn't you have any kind thoughts?"

Xie Beihan trembled all over, feeling a sword pressed against his back heart, he froze and did not dare to move.

Qiu Guangcheng chased after Xie Beihan and came to Nanyang. There was no rest along the way, and his body was covered in dust.He was immersed in the pain of losing his daughter, and his enemy was extremely jealous when they met, and immediately wanted to kill Xie Beihan.

Xie Beihan knew that he couldn't beat him, so his knees softened, and he knelt on the ground and said, "Uncle Qiu, I did something wrong. I killed Sister Yuhua, and I regretted it very much. I couldn't help but think about it just now." I cried. I am sorry for her, please spare my life, I will eat fast and chant Buddha for the rest of my life, and pray for sister Yuhua to accumulate virtue—"

In the middle of his speech, he suddenly shot several throwing knives from his sleeve, and went straight to Qiu Guangcheng's face.Qiu Guangcheng was taken aback, and immediately turned over to hide.Xie Beihan jumped up and ran towards the hall, shouting loudly: "Uncle He, save me quickly, Qiu Guangcheng is here to kill me!"

He Ruying was sitting in the hall drinking tea when he heard the voice rushing out.Xie Beihan ran desperately ahead, Qiu Guangcheng stabbed Xie Beihan in the back of the heart like a shooting star.

He Ruying drew his sword abruptly, blocked the killer attack, and shouted: "Stop! The Qiying League has reached this point, do you still want to fight among yourself!"

Qiu Guangcheng sternly said: "As I said, unless he stays with you every step of the way, I will always kill him!"

He Ruying frowned and said, "Put the sword away, we brothers have something to say."

Qiu Guangcheng didn't move, He Ruying pressed his hand, and persuaded: "I understand your feelings. But the deceased is already dead, and it doesn't help if you are immersed in pain. There is internal strife in our Qiying League , but let outsiders take advantage of it.”

Qiu Guangcheng said: "Stop telling me these things is useless! I worked so hard to raise my daughter, and I can't let her die in vain! Today I must ask this kid to give me an explanation!"

Xie Beihan said anxiously: "My father is also dead!"

Qiu Guangcheng's heart trembled, for fear that he would say something he shouldn't have said.Killing intent suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he said sharply: "That was killed by Qin Xiao!"

Xie Beihan saw Qiu Guangcheng kill Xie Biao with his own eyes, but he was afraid that even He Ruying would not be able to stop his swift sword, so he dared not speak up.He gritted his teeth and said, "Then I will compensate you... 5 taels of silver, Uncle He will be the notary."

Qiu Guangcheng's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he didn't speak for a while.Seeing that there was room for negotiation, He Ruying persuaded: "This is an idea. When is the time to repay the injustice, you might as well collect the money and hold a water and land meeting for your niece and tell her to rest in peace. Xie Biao didn't earn much in his life. , The 5 taels should be the entire family property, and Bei Han can take it all out, which shows his sincerity of repentance."

Qiu Guangcheng was not reconciled, and said: "Fifty thousand is not enough, it must be 10 taels."

Xie Beihan's 5 taels is already going bankrupt, how can he afford 10 taels.He said anxiously, "How can I have so much money!"

Qiu Guangcheng said coldly: "Then you go to die."

Seeing that he was going to kill someone, Xie Beihan hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I promise you. The silver is 10 taels, Uncle He will testify, you are not allowed to embarrass me again after you have collected the money!"

Qiu Guangcheng said: "You refused to cash the bank note, and I want the cash. I got it together within half a month, and sent the money to Qiujiazhuang. This is your only chance to survive. If it is half a day late, you Just wash your neck and wait to die."

He Ruying acted as a witness, and Xie Beihan made written evidence and handed it over to Qiu Guangcheng.Qiu Guangcheng didn't want to stay any longer, so he left immediately after taking the paperwork.

Xie Beihan waited for Qiu Guangcheng to leave, and calculated in his mind that there was a total of 8 taels of silver in the family.Over the years, the family has run an escort agency and business. Although the momentum is huge, they have not actually made much profit.

When Xie Biao was alive, he spent money extravagantly and was very particular about face and pomp.Little did they know that the Xie family seemed to have a big business, but they were secretly short of money and owed debts, and had already been hollowed out.This time Xie Beihan had no choice but to spend 10 taels of silver to pay for his life. He couldn't afford the money, so he had to ask He Ruying for help.

He Ruying said coldly: "I saved your life, but you still dare to go further? Your worthless father is dead, and you are not as capable as him. If you borrow money from me, what will you give me back?"

His words were like nails, bleeding from the roots.Xie Beihan felt like a thorn in his back, and said with a shy face: "My nephew has no other advantages, but is loyal and obedient, and obeys Uncle He's orders in everything. I can do what my father can do."

Su Yi and Qiao'er rushed to Xie's house, and saw that there was no one inside and outside, so they bravely went inside.The two of them walked into the yard with their heads poking around, and heard He Ruying's words through a wall.The two looked at each other in amazement, and felt that it was very strange for such a respected elder like him to say such words.

Su Yi put his finger on his mouth, Qiaoer was more cautious than him, covering his mouth with both hands, the two of them stood behind the wall, neither of them dared to make a sound.

He Ruying said: "Willing to do anything? Your father also said so swearingly at the beginning, but in the end he couldn't even defeat Qiu Guangcheng, and he didn't get Shaoyang's swordsmanship. Instead, he killed him. It's a joke!"

Xie Beihan kowtowed and said: "I beg uncle to save my nephew this time for my father's sake!"

He Ruying said: "The money your father owed me has not been repaid. I can only pay 1 taels. If it is not enough, you can figure out how to do it yourself."

Xie Beihan was already very grateful and thanked repeatedly.Both Su Yi and Qiao'er felt that they had heard a terrible secret, and opened their eyes wide, not daring to vent their breath.The two of them didn't dare to move for a long time, and they breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the two people talking and walked away.

Su Yi picked up Qiao'er and ran away, the two of them ran out of Xie's house and stood panting on the side of the road, it took a long time to recover.

Qiao'er's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't sort it out for a long time. He said: "What's going on? The Xie family owes the leader He the money?"

Su Yi said: "I don't understand either, this matter is too scary... I guess Xie Biao was instructed by Leader He to deliberately go against Master Qiu... It's a crime, they are all famous people, how can we be blind Get suspicious!"

The more Qiaoer thought about it, the more frightened she became, and said: "Then don't worry about it. We are nobodies who can't even count as sesame and mung beans, so we don't need to make trouble for ourselves. Let's go back to Luoyang, shall we?"

Su Yi was still engrossed in thinking about the ins and outs of the whole matter, he was silent for a long time, and said: "Go back by yourself. This matter involves our Beggar Sect, if we don't figure it out, our Sect Leader will also be implicated sooner or later."

Qiao'er said, "What could be involved?"

Su Yi said: "Oh, are you stupid? If He Ruying can bribe Xie's family to deal with Qiu Guangcheng, he can buy people to deal with our beggars' gang. He wants to order the heroes, but he thinks that our beggars' gang doesn't listen to orders and hinders everything. You say he Will you attack us?"

Qiao'er said: "What can you do when you stay?"

Su Yi said: "Tonight I'm going to visit Xie's house at night. Xie Beihan has something strange, I have to find out for him."
