The two men in the corner private room had been drinking quietly without talking. Among them, the man in black with his back to Yan Peiwei suddenly picked up the jug and wine glass, walked to Yan Peiwei's table with a serious expression, and signaled for a toast. Yan and Yang

The two of them saw that the man's muscles were tangled and his temples were bulging. They quickly took their own wine glasses and stood up. The man drank it all in one gulp, poured another glass for himself, and also filled the glasses for Yan and Yang.

They drank like this three times in a row without saying a word. Yan and Yang didn't know what to do, so they had to drink three glasses.

The big man drank three glasses of wine without changing his expression before speaking, "Watson, the doorman of Seven Swords. I just listened to the words of the two of you and was very impressed. You two have seen a lot of people, so I would like to toast you two with a few glasses of muddy wine."

Everyone knows that the Seven Swords Sect has a big business in Suzhou, and the various forces at the water transport terminal that have long controlled the silk trade are rich and powerful. Tong Huasheng is the talker of the Seven Swords Sect and the boss of the green forest in Suzhou. He is a chivalrous and righteous person.

The name is very famous in Suzhou area.

When Yan and Yang heard the words "Tong Huasheng", they immediately stood up straight as they were about to sit down. They regretted that they had spoken too much and wondered if they had angered the big boss.

"Hello, Master Tong." Yan and Yang said with fear. They didn't know whether to sit down, so they had to stand and wait for Master Tong to speak. Master Tong asked: "You two are so concerned about the current situation.

, I dare to say things that the world dare not say, and I just want to ask you who is under the mountain?"

Yan Peiwei and Yang Nianru looked at each other and knew that it was Lu Lin who had come to touch the mountain winding road. They timidly replied: "We just like to discuss current affairs and care about the safety of the country. In fact, we don't know Kung Fu, and we don't belong to any mountain or sect.

, we just do some small business."

The child leader frowned slightly and suddenly punched out, aiming straight at Yan Peiwei's face. The punch was as fast as thunder. Both Yan Peiwei and Yang Nianru screamed in fright. Yan Peiwei squatted down with his head in his hands to avoid it.

, but his center of gravity was unstable and he fell to the ground.

For example, if a martial arts practitioner sees a heavy punch coming straight to the upper plate, he will definitely raise his shoulders and use his right arm to block the incoming blow, instead of squatting down with his head in his arms like Yan Peiwei. Master Tong now believes that the two of them are not people in the world.

Haha, he quickly helped Yan Peiwei up.

"It turns out that you two really stumbled into a thief's den by mistake. Hahaha, but we are destined to meet each other. Don't be alarmed. Let's sit down and have a glass of wine."

Leader Tong smiled heartily, sat down without ceremony, and summoned the other person at the same table to sit down with him.

Only then did Yan Peiwei find out that another man in white clothes and coarse cloth was also a well-known person in Suzhou. He was Fan Jianglong, the second stall owner of Bailongtang. He was nicknamed Fanjianglong in the world. In addition to expressing that he had good water properties, like a dragon in the river, it also implied that he was a water transporter.

The dragon on the pier. Another meaning of the dragon is that he is domineering, with a fiery personality like the Dragon King of the East China Sea. If something goes wrong, he will immediately turn the river upside down.

Yan Peiwei and Yang Nianru were ordinary people who traveled around doing business, so they had the opportunity to meet the big shots in Green Forest. Seeing that Master Tong and others did not have any ill intentions, they gradually felt relieved.

The four of them chatted about current affairs while drinking, and gradually became warm. Although Tong and Fan were martial arts people, they were well-informed and well-connected. They knew a lot about things in Suzhou and even the capital's government. Suzhou is not big, and the most famous locals are

The officials were Zhou Shunchang and Gu Dazhang. Both Tong Fan and Tong Fan's words and derogatory remarks were in line with the current situation, which made Yan Peiwei and Yang Nianru admire them very much.

As they talked, Tong Huasheng talked about Wang Wenyan's case. Boss Tong said: "Actually, you two misunderstood Wang Wenyan. He did not confess these ministers."

"How do you say this?" Yan Peiwei and Yang Nian asked in unison.

"Wang Wenyan was tortured and refused to confess that the Donglin Party members had taken bribes. Xu Xianchun had no choice but to make up a confession himself, and held the hand of the dying Wang Wenyan, and forcibly signed it. Dongchang took it with him With this false confession, arrests began."

"There is such a thing!" Yan Peiwei slammed the table angrily, causing the wine glass to jump and spilled the wine.

"What's more, as soon as Wang Wenyan drew the picture, Xu Xianchun immediately did something and strangled Wang Wenyan to death that night, but reported that he died violently in prison. As a result, Xiong Tingbi and Wang Wenyan were both dead. There was no evidence for all the deaths, and it was Dongchang's fault. It’s up to you.”

"These people have done many evil things and will be punished by God." Yang Nianru said angrily.

"No, three high-ranking members of the Donglin Party have been arrested, and now everyone in the Donglin Party is in danger." Head Tong said sadly.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. There was a creaking sound, and the store door was pushed open. Five men in black cloaks came in quietly. There was a long protrusion under the cloak, revealing the blade of the knife wrapped in black linen. Five The person went straight to a table and prepared to sit down.

The waiter hurried over to greet them and told them that they would not accept outsiders today.

The man who came in first snorted and threw a ten tael of silver on the table. He took off his knife and put it on the table. He swung his cloak and sat down without paying any attention to it. The waiter and the shopkeeper spread their hands and ran away helplessly. Entering the back hall, the shopkeeper shook his head and looked ugly.

Fan Jianglong squinted his eyes from the corner of his eye and realized it was a stranger, so he glanced at Tong Huasheng. Tong Huasheng pretended to be calm and glanced at the man in black for a few times. When he saw the other person's eyes looking over, he quickly looked away.

Fan Jianglong talked about trivial matters in the world, and never mentioned anything related to Donglin. He talked about some things about water transportation and Bailongtang. Fan Jianglong said: "Hey, since ancient times, water transportation has been mainly for transporting grain, but there are also many objects. By the way, I entrusted the water transportation, but there are a few things that the brothers in the Cao Gang are not able to transport." Head Tong said about this matter.

"What?" everyone asked in unison.

Master Tong clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Women, money, and scholars. We call this the three things that don't touch the rivers, seas, and rivers."

"What kind of fame is this? How do you say it?" Yang asked.

"The smuggling of women is mostly about abducting and selling women from good families to be prostitutes. This is an outrageous thing. I will not touch it. The smuggling of money is mostly from unknown sources. It is probably used for illicit purposes by officials. We will not be official lackeys. You have to transport it. Go find an escort yourself."

"What about the scholars?"

"The scholar is pedantic, and along the way he talks about the Analects of Confucius and the Tao Te Ching, Confucius and Mencius. The more than ten days you think our water transport brothers have been walking together, it makes me want to vomit, bad luck!" said the headmaster Tong, laughing loudly.

"Hahaha, that's good." Yan and Yang laughed loudly.

Fan Jianglong asked: "What are you doing with these three things? There are still three big ones in the world that you can't afford to offend, including Jin Yiwei, do you know?" After saying this, he glanced at the five people over there meaningfully.

Yan Peiwei smiled and said: "The three big ones cannot be offended? What do you mean? Let me guess, the ones who can't be offended must be women, villains, and literati! As the saying goes, beating women is not a good man, we can't afford to offend women. Villains "We can't afford to offend you if you're full of evil schemes. We can't afford to offend you if a scholar writes a pen that ruins your reputation and composes a song."

The waiter who came to serve tea couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Brother Yan, you can't be offended, but that's not what we're talking about. These three big pieces have a name, called One Song, Two Flying Snows, Shandong Duanmu."

"What one brother, two snows and three trees?" Yan Peiwei asked.

Fan Jianglong said: "The third-ranked Shandong Duanmu is a mysterious family. They have been doing business for generations and have luxuriant branches, but they have never been in contact with the martial arts. But anyone who messes with this family will be in trouble. This

The martial arts passed down in the family are said to be secret techniques passed down for thousands of years. There was once a second stall owner of Panlong Village in Shandong who molested the maid of the Duanmu family on the official road. He was then brutally retaliated and the entire village was destroyed. That was a tyrant in Shandong with more than 200 people. It is said that

The two young masters and two book boys of the Duanmu family were able to deal with the entire Panlong Village. This incident shocked the world, and the strength of the Duanmu family became known to the world from then on."

"The second-ranked Feixue is a woman, but she possesses supreme swordsmanship and is known as the best in the world. Not many people in the world have seen her swordsmanship, and those who have seen it are almost dead. Only once, you still remember Henan Liuhe

The door? It is said that [Bahuang Liuhe is the fastest, and spears kill people every time.] But in front of everyone, Feixue fell from the sky and killed the famous Liuhe Spear Sect master in Henan with a flying snow sword move. The Liuhe Sect members saw this.

It was clear that from then on, her legend in the martial arts world began. People say that "the flecks of gunfire are not as good as the flying snow in the sky." The descendant of Liuhe Spear, who is famous in China, was attacked by a flying snow swordsmanship in full view of the public, and was hit by three swords.

Died violently."

"Then who is the singer? He is ranked above Feixue and Duanmu?" Yang Nianru asked with great interest.

Before Fan Jianglong could reply, at the same time, the waiter ran to Yan Peiwei's table, lifted up the white cloth on his shoulders, and wiped up the wine spilled on the table. While turning his back to the man in black, he whispered

"Master, stop talking, it's Xiu Chun Dao." He blinked to show them the group of men in black.

Yan Peiwei rolled his eyes and saw that one of the five men had taken off the weapon from his waist at some point and leaned against the table. The linen cloth was not completely tied up, revealing a black section of the wooden scabbard body, made of gilded copper.

The rim is different from ordinary swords. The tail end of this weapon is slightly tilted, and the width and length from head to tail are the same. It looks more like a Japanese sword. Yan Peiwei turned to look at Tong Huasheng and Fan Jianglong, and found that their expressions changed drastically.

Yan Peiwei thought to himself that the Xiuchundao was a weapon specially equipped by the Jinyiwei. Could it be that he came to arrest the four people because of his remarks just now? But after thinking about it for a moment, the Jinyiwei's jurisdiction was in the capital, and most of the arrests were in Beijing. This is Suzhou,

It's not where Jinyiwei is stationed, so it's unlikely that they're here to arrest him. So what are these five people doing in Suzhou?

Just now, Yan Peiwei loudly said that he would stop these thieves, but now that people are coming, he doesn't even dare to say a word.

After discovering the embroidered spring knife, he stopped talking and sobered up, and suddenly there was an eerie silence in the store.

There is half a catty of wine and a plate of cooked beef on Jin Yiwei's table. He drinks occasionally. His expression is solemn and he doesn't say a word. The person sitting at the head of the table looks like the leader of these people. He is tall. He closes his eyes to meditate and occasionally opens his eyes.

He drank wine quietly.

After the sound, one of the men in black turned around and challenged Fan Jianglong: "Hey, keep talking, Fan Jianglong, who is the singer? Can you do it better than Bailongtang?"

"What did you say!" Fan Jianglong was irritable. He slapped the table and stood up to curse.

"What's the matter? I haven't finished listening to the story yet, so hurry up and tell me." The man in black said contemptuously.

Yan Peiwei suddenly remembered that these people had just come in, how did they know he was a dragon?

"Huh." Fan Jianglong didn't reply, but threw a piece of broken silver cake on the table, pulled Tong Huasheng and stood up to leave.

The man in black who spoke suddenly drew his knife, blocking the way of Fan Jianglong and Tong Huasheng.

The man in black said provocatively, "Are the Seven Swords Gang and Bailongtang planning to do something big? Tell me about it?"

"Mr. Factory Guard, we are just ordinary people. What big things can we do? We talk nonsense after drinking. Please forgive me." Tong Huasheng knew that this was not the right time to settle a grudge, so he said humbly with fists in his hands.

"I don't think it's that simple." The man in black said. "Let's not waste time talking about random things. Today, the Jin Yiwei was ordered by Dongchang to arrest the prisoner. I heard that you two secretly conspired to obstruct it. These days, you are going against the government.

We have seen each other from time to time, but this is the first time I have heard of anyone who dares to go against Jin Yiwei. We originally thought that all the mountains were coming, so Jin Yiwei specially sent five gentlemen including me..., but we didn't expect that,

There were only two or three kittens. I said, there are so many of us here, so damn angry, but it doesn’t matter. We don’t need to choose the time anymore, just make some gestures now. It seems that these two masters are good.

We, the Jinyi Guards, are slightly better."

Tong Huasheng was shocked. Gu Dazhang was a famous figure in Suzhou. This time, a secret message came from the capital. Dongchang wanted to arrest Gu Dazhang and bring him to justice. The two of them had always admired Gu Dazhang, so they agreed to use the strength of Bailongtang and the Seven Swords Gang to help Gu Dazhang escape. This matter is extremely important.

It was a secret. They agreed to meet and discuss it tonight. Unexpectedly, the news leaked out and Jin Yiwei had already prepared to rob someone in the wine shop.

The man in black slowly picked up the scabbard and slowly pulled out the Xiuchun Dao.

This embroidered spring knife is shiny all over, and has a groove on the blade. Although the candlelight in the store is not as dim as in the daytime, as soon as the knife is taken out of the sheath, the reflection of the blade immediately illuminates the room. The man in black raised the blade of the knife diagonally, shaking it continuously, and the reflection continued.

The ground was reflected on everyone's faces, and every time it hit Yan Peiwei and Yang Nianru, they couldn't look directly at them.

The man in black challenged, "Shall we make signs? Should we both come together or who comes first?"

Fan Jianglong has a hot temper. Although he knows that Jin Yiwei can't offend him, he can't stand such provocation. He can't hold it back for a long time. With a horse step, he makes a circle with his left palm and pushes out a palm, which is like thunder. His right hand comes from the ankle of the leg.

He took out a dagger and attacked the man in black with one palm and one dagger.

When Tong Huasheng saw Fan Jianglong move his hand, he kicked off the tables and chairs next to him with his right foot, creating space for Fan Jianglong to fight. In addition, he pushed Yan and Yang towards the door with his left arm and said sternly, "

Let’s go!”

Yan and Yang didn't know martial arts, so they felt a strong force coming and were pushed back several steps, hitting the table. Yang Nianru's head hit the wall next to the door, and stars appeared on the spot. Fortunately, the waiter and the shopkeeper

With sharp eyesight and quick hands, he grabbed one by one and escaped from the wine shop in a hurry.

Fan Jianglong curled his left hand and held a knife in his right hand. He jumped around like a monkey, looking for opportunities to attack. As long as he missed a hit, he would retreat. The man in black was resting, dancing in a circle with his knife, waiting for him to turn over.

Jiang Long attacks. Unfortunately, every inch is long and dangerous, and the dagger can never get close to the man in black. On the contrary, once the man in black uses the knife with all his strength, Jiang Long must give in.

Seeing that Yan and Yang had safely exited, Tong Huasheng felt a little relieved. When he came back to his senses and looked at Fan Jianglong, he regretted that he didn't bring any of his followers. At first, he thought that the lower profile would be better, but he didn't expect that Jin Yiwei would be blocking the place.

The rules of the rivers and lakes are very strict, so Tong Huasheng is hesitant to help. Bailongtang is a business gang. It accepts disciples without taking any martial arts test, and there is no complete martial arts inheritance. Everyone learns from the East and the West.

Jiang Long's martial arts skills cannot be compared with those of the Seven Swords Gang. After watching the fight between the two, Tong Huasheng knew that he might be able to defeat the man in black, but if the other four Jinyi guards came together, things would be difficult.

The man in black fought with Fan Jianglong for more than ten moves, and gradually figured out Fan Jianglong's moves. Seeing Fan Jianglong stabbing him again with his knife, he rushed in front of him and suddenly turned the blade of the knife and slashed diagonally downwards, forcing him to

Fan Jianglong used a dagger to catch it, but the man in black changed his attack immediately before the knife could hit him, and switched to attacking from the middle. Fan Jianglong had no time to react, and was stabbed in the abdomen. Although his abdomen was not broken, his clothes were obviously torn.

Saw blood.

Seeing that Fan Jianglong was injured, Tong Huasheng pulled out the sword from his waist, roared, and stabbed the man in black with the sword.

The man in black saw blood with his sword. When he saw Tong Huasheng rushing over, he hurriedly jumped back. Tong Huasheng came with fierce force and struck one sword after another. He only attacked but did not defend. Xiuchundao had to guard against it.

When the swords of the Seven Swords Gang and the Xiuchun Dao were chopped together, they made the sound of metal hitting each other. Tong Huasheng's sword was a treasure. His master had searched all over the swordsmiths to make it, and it cut iron like mud and stone like rot.

, but can do nothing about Xiuchun Dao, the two things are comparable.

Tong Huasheng, a young boy, joined the gang to practice the Seven Swords Upward Technique, which has been practiced for more than ten years. This martial art is a martial art not taught to outsiders by the Seven Swords Gang. It can be transformed into seven, seven or forty-nine styles. It is a very powerful swordsmanship in the Southern School. One sword covers all

Swords, the Seven Swords are continuous and can turn the world upside down. Moreover, the Seven Swords Facing the Sky Technique has no defensive moves. They are all gorgeous offensive moves. They only attack but do not defend. People in the world comment on the Seven Swords, "Don't retreat even one step, only attack but not defend."

It is to praise the tyranny of the Seven Swords Chaotian Jue. The Seven Swords Gang is running rampant in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, relying on the skill of this sword.

Tong Huasheng's offensive forced the man in black to keep retreating, almost to the side of the others. Suddenly, "Hi!" Tong Huasheng broke through the man in black's knife circle, stabbed the man in black on the shoulder with his sword, and blood gushed out.

.

Although Yan Peiwei and Yang Nianru left the scene, they refused to leave. They gathered near the door and stared at the battle. At this time, they couldn't help but cheer "Okay".

Seeing that their colleague was injured, other men in black rushed to help him.

One of them took off his cloak and put it over Tong Watson's head.

Tong Huasheng did not evade, and split the cloak with a sword. At the same time as the cloak split, two knives struck from the cloak, one from the left and one from the right.

Tong Huasheng could only choose to use his sword to block the knife coming from the right. His left hand reacted naturally, slapped the knife on the back, and pushed it out with force.

But he blocked two attacks, but couldn't avoid the third one.

The Jin Yiwei who threw out his cloak bent down and slashed the Xiuchun knife across the ground, slashing towards Tong Huasheng's thigh from bottom to top.

Tong Huasheng didn't even notice that he was stabbed hard on the thigh. Blood spurted out where the blade passed.

Tong Huasheng couldn't believe it, his legs were in severe pain, and he knelt down involuntarily. Fan Jianglong rushed forward to help Tong Huasheng, regardless of his own injury.

Fan Jianglong roared, "Using more to defeat less is not a hero!"

The man in black who slashed Tong Watson stood up, patted the ashes on his body, and sneered: "Jinyiwei is doing things under orders, what does it have to do with being a hero!"

The Jin Yiwei asked: "What is so charming about Gu Dazhang that you are willing to die for him one after another?"

"Mr. Gu has been loyal to the country and has been honest throughout his life. You eunuchs have actually framed him for taking bribes. If I die, I will be a devil in hell and come back to bite you to death." Tong Huasheng said angrily.

Fan Jianglong ignored the injury on his abdomen, picked up the dagger and went forward, slashing and stabbing like a vicious dog, cutting down the three Jinyi guards until they lost their position.

After forcing the Jin Yiwei back, Fan Jianglong put Tong Huasheng's arm on his shoulders and helped him up. Due to his leg injury, one movement caused severe pain, and sweat drops as big as soybeans appeared on Tong Huasheng's forehead and fell to the ground.

.

Fan Jianglong supported Tong Huasheng while shaking his dagger, and slowly backed away from the wall.

The three Jinyi guards raised their embroidered spring knives and pointed them at Fan Jianglong, waiting for the order to capture Tong Fan and the others.

"Fourth, please do it."

"Hey, eldest brother, second brother and third brother, this is not a glorious event, you can come." The man in black who was the first to take action said evasively.

"Fourth brother, if you take him down, we will give you a credit. Isn't that right, Master Qianhu?" One of the Jin Yiwei said to the leader with a smile.

The Qianhu glanced here and then looked away, seemingly indifferent to what was happening in front of them.

"That's all, why do you think I'm inferior?" The man in black, known as the fourth child, put the embroidered spring knife into its sheath, took out a bundle of rope from behind, and said contemptuously. "Kneel down and be tied."

When Fan Jianglong heard that he was so rude, he pointed the dagger at Lao Si and threw it, regardless of the only weapon left in his hand.

The speed of the dagger was so fast and the distance was so close that the fourth child had no time to react. Everyone watched helplessly as the dagger was about to penetrate the fourth child's chest.

An object flew from the direction of Qianhu, knocking the dagger away and sinking into the wall.

The other three Jin Yiwei reacted quickly. When Fan Jianglong made a move, the Xiuchun knife flashed with white light, and all three knives slashed into Fan Jianglong's body. Before Fan Jianglong could say anything, he softened and blood spurted out.

All over the place.

When Tong Huasheng saw this scene, he was inexplicably sad and angry. He clenched his fists and attacked the nearest Jin Yiwei like crazy.

"Old Fan, I will avenge you!"

Unfortunately, Tong Huasheng was seriously injured, his steps were staggering, and his right fist was no longer powerful.

Jin Yiwei's embroidered spring knife flashed with white light and returned in a circle, and Tong Huasheng's right arm was removed from the elbow down.

Tong Huasheng held the severed arm with his left hand in disbelief, looking at the line of blood spurting from his arm, the severed arm fell to the ground.

Everyone exclaimed, and Yan and Yang covered their mouths, not daring to shout too loudly.

The Xiuchun Knife did not stop. After cutting off Tong Huasheng's right hand, the next move was to place the blade on Tong Huasheng's neck. Tong Huasheng seemed to have lost consciousness and was motionless. The Xiuchun Knife touched it lightly, and a line of blood appeared like a streak of blood.

Shooting out like an arrow, Tong Huasheng's burly body fell to the ground with a bang, pressing on his broken arm.

The young Jin Yiwei picked up a piece of cloth on the table and wiped the blood on the knife.

Ignoring the two corpses on the ground, the Jin Yiwei raised his hands and said to Master Qianhu, "Report to Master Qianhu, Tong Huasheng and Fan Jianglong resisted arrest and attacked the official, and they have been executed on the spot."

Qianhu said: "The shopkeeper, the waiter and the other two ran away. Let's chase them."

Two of the Jin Yiwei rushed out and searched in two directions on the street, but the waiter, Yan Peiwei and Yang Nianru were nowhere to be seen.

After hurried back to the wine shop to report, Qianhu decided not to pursue the case for now and put the first priority of catching Gu Dazhang first.

The five people left in a solemn and silent manner, leaving behind the crowd of onlookers and two corpses underground.

The waiter in the store was smart. When he saw Tong Huasheng's death, he immediately pulled Yan Peiwei and Yang Nianru and two others to hide in the west of the neighborhood. After the crowd dispersed, they returned to the store to see the two bodies. Yan Peiwei and Yang Nianru thought of the fierce battle just now.

My heart was still pounding. Fortunately, the waiter in the shop protected me and the two of them escaped.

Yang Nianru picked up the dagger that Fan Jianglong had dropped, and was shocked to find that the blade made of fine iron was twisted and bent.

The waiter was careful and walked towards the wall. There was a chopstick inserted into the wall and half of it was exposed. The waiter pulled it out with great effort, pouted and handed it to Yan Peiwei and said, "Look, that man bent the corner with a bamboo chopstick."

He took the dagger and it penetrated the wall several inches."

The waiter continued: "This is the skill of a master of the inner family. He is able to focus his inner energy on such an ordinary chopstick, making the chopsticks indestructible and breaking the dagger. You see, this thin bamboo chopstick was unscathed.

This man is Jin Yiming, the heir to the Golden Sword Sword Technique, and he is the only one in the Jinyi Guard who has this skill." The waiter left this incoherent sentence and left quietly.

Yan Peiwei and Yang Nianru were grateful to Tong Huasheng, Fan Jianglong and Gu Dazhang for their willingness to sacrifice for justice, and secretly vowed to follow their example in the future.

The following year, Wei Zhongxian sent people to capture Zhou Shunchang, and the citizens of Suzhou revolted angrily. In order not to disturb the people, Yan, Yang and the other three went to jail in front of everyone and were sentenced to death. A scholar who knew the details wrote a tombstone for five people.
