Everyone present heard the voice sounded very young, but it was frivolous and rude. They all turned their heads to look at it, thinking that it was a female family member brought by someone from the Jianghu.

A group of people walked into the hall, in front of them was a young woman and a chunky middle-aged man, followed by five young men with knives, but they were dressed as officers and soldiers.

You Ji stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "You Ji, the owner of Juxian Village, please tell me your identities."

The young woman didn't pay attention, and first invited the middle-aged man to sit down in the hall, while she stood aside, glanced at the people in the hall, and said coldly, "You guys are waiting to gather people here to seek trouble, but you want to rebel? "

Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this, and someone shouted, "Who are you girl, you dare to talk nonsense here?!"

Doctor Xue and You Ji looked at each other, and they both felt that this group of people was afraid that the visitor was not kind, but they didn't know who they were, and they didn't dare to be too negligent. Doctor Xue stepped forward and said, "Manor You and I are gathering talents here. The hero meeting held in the village is only to discuss the affairs of Jianghu, why gather people to plot rebellion?"

The young woman said, "As you said, why is this beggar gang member here?"

Doctor Xue wondered, "This gang of beggars is the biggest gang in the martial arts world. Why shouldn't they be present when we hold a hero meeting?"

"Because someone from the Beggar Clan secretly colluded with the Xixia people, colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, so why don't you suspect that you gathered here instead?"

"fart!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did my beggar gang collude with the Xixia people?"

"..."

As soon as she finished speaking, people from the Beggar Clan immediately scolded and questioned her.

Elder Xu stopped the crowd behind him, looked at her and said, "It's you again? I don't know why the girl targets my beggar gang all the time?" He recognized her as the woman who was with Qiao Feng that day, but he didn't know if Qiao Feng Just nearby, what kind of conspiracy do these two people have.

Ye Nian hooked the corner of his mouth and said, "Elder Xu, the last time I met you, I saved your beggar gang members, but you said that I was targeting you, isn't it too confusing?"

"This..." Elder Xu hesitated, and said unhappily, "You slandered my beggar gang for collusion with the Xixia people. If it's not for frame, what is it?"

Ye Nian said, "I also know that you won't admit it unless you show evidence." He raised his hands and clapped twice, and the two officers outside escorted a man in, dressed like a beggar gang disciple.

Everyone heard that they knew each other before, and there seemed to be some grievances in their words. Although they were puzzled, they did not doubt the meaning of the Beggar Clan, but when they saw a Beggar Clan disciple being escorted into the hall, they temporarily stopped talking and looked over.

When You Ji saw the clothes on the two officers' clothes, he was startled in his heart, secretly summoned his men to come over, and ordered them to go in a low voice.

Ye Nian said, "Elder Xu, just admit it, is this a disciple of your beggar gang?"

Elder Xu glanced at that man, he had ignored the affairs of the gang for a long time, and he didn't know it very well, but Elder Chen said behind him, "That's right, this man is indeed a disciple of the Three Pockets of my gang, why did you arrest him? "

Ye Niandao, "Three months ago, Xia's army of 10 people attacked Mubo Town. Mr. Zhang Yuzhang led tens of thousands of Song troops to meet the enemy. The strength of the enemy and us was very different. What's more, the incident happened suddenly, and the imperial court was unable to provide rescue supplies. However, Mr. Zhang was in the town with All the soldiers held on for more than a month, and then laid down ten thousand elite soldiers in Hongde City, defeating the Xia army. The result is that Mr. Zhang commanded the army well and used his troops like a god, but it was also because of sufficient food and grass backup that he did not As for losing the overall situation because of this little detail." She paused for a while, glanced at the people in the hall, and asked unhurriedly, "Do you know where the backup is from?"

The heroes didn't know why she brought up the war between the two countries, but when they heard her mention the victory in Mubo Town, their blood surged up, and someone immediately replied, "It is said that it is some kind of chamber of commerce in the city."

Someone added, "It's called the Xiaofeng Chamber of Commerce, and it was formed by some merchants."

Someone nearby asked strangely, "Brother Ji, why are you so clear?"

The man said with a faint smile, "I have a friend who is in the chamber of commerce, and I heard him mention something."

Everyone in the hall started talking about this topic for a while, Qiao Feng was already very surprised when Ye Nian first appeared, but when he heard the word 'Jiaofeng', his heart moved even more, thinking of the jade pendant that Ye Nian gave him that day.He didn't pay attention to it when he was walking around in the rivers and lakes before, and only after he got Ye Nian's entrustment did he notice that this mark is widely distributed. It can be seen in some restaurants, inns, and commercial shops. When those people saw the jade pendant on him, they all treated him as a VIP and served He didn't take a single penny, and in the bank, he could even withdraw less than a thousand taels of silver. Only then did he understand the value of the things Ye Nian gave him, and his heart was complicated. As a decoration, he kept the jade pendant close to his body, so it was not seen by others at the moment.

Seeing that the topic had been diverted away, Master Xue said, "I don't know if what the girl said has something to do with what we talked about earlier?"

"Naturally it has something to do with it." Ye Nian glanced at him and said, "The Western Xia people are wolfish and ambitious. They have been coveting our Great Song Dynasty for a long time. The imperial court is on guard. People of insight in the world should do their best to assist the imperial court to defend against foreign enemies. Just now What everyone said is right. The Xiefeng Chamber of Commerce was spontaneously formed by some patriotic merchants in Beijing, donating money and goods to the border military camps every year, in order to reduce the burden on the court and protect the country. Fortunately, Mubo Town Fighting against our army is the only way to have no worries and be able to concentrate on fighting. Do you think this Chamber of Commerce is worthy of recognition?"

Before this war, this chamber of commerce was not well known, and few people knew about it. After the war, it was gradually mentioned and praised. Everyone present had heard about it, and now they listened to Ye Nian's analysis and explanation, and most of them nodded yes.

Ye Nian took everyone's expressions into his eyes, and changed the subject, "I hate the people of Xixia, but the Song court didn't want to, so they secretly sent spies to destroy the chamber of commerce. Recently, many branches in Bianjing and Luoyang have been deliberately destroyed, causing serious losses. , came to cover things up, but still let me find out the identity, it turned out to be a member of the beggar gang."

"You girl is talking nonsense. My beggar gang has always regarded Liaoxia as a deadly enemy, so how could you collude with foreign barbarians? It is even impossible to go to that chamber of commerce to make trouble!" Elder Xi shouted, "Why are you slandering my beggar gang so much? intention?!"

Ye Nian said, "Have I slandered your gang? This elder, please ask your disciple and see how he answers you."

Elder Xu thought that this woman was very scheming, first let them recognize that she is a disciple of the Beggar Sect, and now what kind of proof is he asked, if this person said something bad, wouldn't it be a big deal?Immediately squinting his eyes slightly, he said, "Even if he is a member of my beggar gang, he fell into your hands, but you don't know what methods you used. Can what he said be true?"

Ye Nian smiled and said, "I just caught him and questioned him, I didn't lynch him. Mr. Xu is old, so it's not surprising that he can't see clearly. Everyone here have a good look, is there any wound on that man?"

Everyone saw the man's expression cowering, but it didn't look like he had been tortured.

Elder Xi was angry, and shouted at the man, "The people in my beggar gang act openly and aboveboard, and there is nothing you can't say to others, just stand up straight and answer carefully, have you done what this girl said? "

The man got an order to go to some shops to cause trouble. He didn't think it was a big deal at first, but after some hearing just now, he vaguely understood that the matter was very involved, and he was a little dazed and panicked. At this time, he heard the elders of the help and asked him, he quickly bowed and answered, "Yes." , Elder Xi, me and... and some brothers in the gang obeyed orders to disrupt some shops, but we really don’t know what kind of chamber of commerce, and we definitely didn’t collude with the Xixia people.”

Everyone was taken aback when they heard his confession, and then Elder Xi asked, "Whose orders did you follow?"

The man looked up at someone in the hall, then hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to answer.

Everyone here is so perceptive, they knew at a glance that he was looking at Quan Guanqing who spoke generously from the Beggar Clan earlier.Someone from the beggar gang recognized that disciple as a member of the Dazhi sub-rudder, and had guessed two points earlier, Elder Xi glanced at Quan Guanqing, who had a slightly gloomy face, and said nonchalantly, "Master Quan, what is your explanation for this matter? "

Hearing this, Qiao Feng thought that Quan Guanqing was narrow-minded, he must have hated Ye Nian's bad words that day, and wanted to seek revenge from her, he felt guilty and remorseful, he only thought of one level, but didn't know the deeper level, that's what Quan Guanqing said. Guanqing remembers that Ye Nian was rude to him, but he was even more suspicious that she knew his secret, so he sent someone to check her background and wanted to teach her some lessons.

Quan Guan Qingchao clasped his fists together, and said loudly, "Master Xue, Master You, all the heroes here, you don't know, this woman is with Qiao Feng and that Khitan dog thief, maybe it was sent by Khitan Spy, she knows that we are holding a hero meeting here to deal with those dogs, so she comes here to confuse the public and stir up trouble, so please don't let her alienate you."

Everyone seemed to be stunned, and became wary of Ye Nian and the others.

Ye Nian glanced at Quan Guanqing, and said calmly, "Master Quan, do you know that slandering a court official is a capital offense?"

Knowing her details, Quan Guanqing said with a sneer, "The imperial court ordered you to be an official? May I ask where you are and what is your name?"

Ye Nian bowed slightly to the side, "This is Lord Liu, the local prefect. We came together to investigate the case for the government, but you slandered us as spies of the Liao Kingdom. It's not a capital crime!"
