Chapter 1088

After the door opened, two men in gray clothes were seen standing outside. Both of them were in their forties. Although their clothes were ordinary, they had fair faces. The man on the left saw Li Qiufeng opening the door of the ancestral hall, and his face was filled with tears.

Squeezing out a few smiles, he said: "We are the porters delivering goods to Sanbaozhai. We made an appointment to pick up the fare today, but the door of Sanbaozhai was closed. The shopkeeper and the waiter didn't know where they were. Looking at this day

It's going to snow, and we two brothers have nowhere to stay. We happen to see this temple, so I want to ask my brother to make it easier for us to take shelter from the snow and wind in the temple. I wonder if I can agree?"

Li Qiufeng didn't know where Sanbaozhai was. When he was about to ask, he heard the old man say: "Sanbaozhai closed its doors a few days ago. I heard that shopkeeper Peng has returned to his hometown in Mei County. The shop assistants

They were all dismissed by Shopkeeper Peng and went to find their own way out. I'm afraid you won't get your money back."

The two men's expressions suddenly darkened, they looked at each other and sighed in unison.

The man on the right said to the old man: "Is it convenient for me to let our brothers go to the temple to rest for a while?"

The old man smiled and said: "Of course this is not a difficult task. No one can carry a house when they go out, right? Come in, please. There is still hot water in the house. You might as well have a bowl of it to warm yourself up."

As the old man spoke, he turned sideways to let the two men into the yard. Li Qiufeng saw that although these two men were dressed in ordinary clothes, their faces did not look a bit dusty, and their speech and behavior were not like ordinary porters, so he thought

He was doubtful. Just as he was about to warn the old man to be careful about the two men being deceitful, the two men each picked up a load and walked in. In desperation, Li Qiufeng had no choice but to take a step back and let the two men into the yard. It was just that

He secretly gathered strength with his hands in case something changed.

The old man passed by the two men, turned around and seemed to be closing the door, and said: "It's going to snow soon. We haven't had snow in Chongqing for many years! I heard that Dongchang's fanzi arrived a few days ago.

Here, we need to bring Magistrate Zhu to the capital for questioning. It is unreasonable for Dongchang to let such a good official go! If there is a heavy snowfall, maybe we will avenge Magistrate Zhu?"

Li Qiufeng was startled when he heard the old man mentioning Dongchang for no reason. He didn't know what he meant. At this moment, he saw two men suddenly turning around, with sad expressions on their faces.

The man on the left sneered and said, "How dare you discuss important matters of the imperial court? It seems that when someone said you were plotting to rebel, you were not wronged."

Li Qiufeng saw that the faces of the two men suddenly changed. Although he had already guessed that the origins of these two men were suspicious, his heart tightened.

The old man did not panic, and carefully closed the door. Then he turned around, put his hands in his sleeves, and said with a half-smile on his face: "I refuse to sell the land of the ancestral hall. I just didn't expect Mr. Wan to sell it."

You are really willing to spend a lot of money, and even invited people from Dongchang to move, so you really think highly of me."

The man on the right sneered: "You old guy speaks in weird ways, you must not be a good person. If you confess honestly, we brothers may be merciful and spare you..."

Before the man finished speaking, he heard two soft "chichi" sounds. The two men were immediately dumbfounded and their bodies stiffened. After a moment, they all fell backwards and fell straight with two "plops".

On the ground, a tiny red spot appeared on everyone's throat.

Li Qiufeng saw the old man's hands trapped in his big sleeves and said, "What a powerful Xiaoyao Crossbow!"

The old man then took his hands out of his sleeves, and saw that each of his hands was holding a silver cylinder several inches long. He smiled and said: "This thing is reasonable for dealing with some gangsters. If you want to plot against a martial arts master,

But it’s still not enough.”

Li Qiufeng turned to look at the two people who were frozen on the ground, and said, "Are these two people from Dongchang? How could they come to trouble you, old man?"

The old man walked up to the two of them, looked at their faces carefully, and said: "It's not that they want to cause trouble for me, it's Mr. Wan from the city who has taken a fancy to the land of the ancestral hall. He sent people to find it a few days ago.

I asked me to sell this piece of land to him. After I refused, the visitor yelled and cursed, saying that Mr. Wan would be very prosperous in the near future, and he would have to give me a good look at it. Later, I heard from the people around me that Mr. Wan wanted to

Build a big house here for a high-ranking official in the capital to live after he becomes an official. He sent people here to coax and scare many people, so they were timid and had to sell the house to the Wan family. Just now these two remarks

The Sanbaozhai mentioned is the largest house in this area. Shopkeeper Peng of Sanbaozhai was unwilling to sell the land at first. As a result, his eldest son was beaten to death for no apparent reason a few days ago and was almost beaten to death on the spot. The second son also

He was arrested by the government and said that he colluded with gangs of thieves outside the city in an attempt to rob several wealthy households in the city. Shopkeeper Peng knew that Mr. Wan was behind it, so he had no choice but to agree to sell the land, and his second son was released by the government. The family

I was afraid of being poisoned by the Wan family again, so I had no choice but to leave Chongqing Mansion overnight."

Li Qiufeng said: "The person named Wan is too arrogant. Doesn't the government care?"

The old man sneered and said: "The government? If it weren't for the government's support, would the man named Wan dare to be so arrogant? In the past, I wish the prefect was fair and honest, and everyone's life was pretty good. But I don't know what official he offended, and he was

He was removed from office and investigated. Fortunately, the people fought hard and the court did not dare to convict him. They just took away his official position and returned him to his hometown to settle the matter. However, I heard that the dog officials still couldn't let him go. They only wanted to kill him because of the accusations.

Dongchang sent a messenger here to cause trouble for him. It is said in the market these days that the high-ranking official who framed Zhu Zhifu for unknown reasons was ordered by the emperor to serve as an official and was returned to his hometown of Chongqing to enjoy his old age.

In order to curry favor with this official, Mr. Wan decided to buy land and build a house for him. It seems that these two Dongchang gangsters were commissioned by Mr. Wan and deliberately came to trouble me. These people are doing evil in the city.

It's a disaster for the people, and I wanted to kill a few of them to relieve my anger. These two guys who don't know whether they live or die actually showed up at my door, just in time to try my Xiaoyao Crossbow."

Li Qiufeng smiled and said: "Uncle Huang, you are really old and spicy. These two clowns dare to come in front of you and cause trouble. They really don't know whether to live or die."

The old man chuckled and said, "But I am still old. If I had followed my temper when I was young, I am afraid that Wan would have lost his head and body long ago."

When the old man said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "Master Wan is a bastard, but there are many bastards in this city. If you kill a bastard named Wan, the other bastards will inevitably start a fight again, and the unlucky ones will be

Common people, it is better to save Wan's life, and there will be less trouble on the streets. Oh, when will God open his eyes and take away all these dirty officials?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Of all the officials in the world, how many are good people? A good official who works seriously and does not bully the people will not be able to stay in the officialdom." When he said this, he glanced at the two corpses on the ground.

, then said: "How to dispose of the bodies of these two fans?"

The old man said: "After dark, throw it into the river and it will be over."

Li Qiufeng was a little worried and said: "The disappearance of Dongchang's fanzi is definitely not a trivial matter. I'm afraid the government will cause trouble for my uncle."

The old man smiled and said: "Since Magistrate Zhu was crowned and left, several officials who oppressed the people have been killed or disappeared in the city. It seems that it was all at the hands of heroes. And after Dongchang's fanzi arrived, he committed mischief in the city.

The people hated them to the core. Just half a month ago, six fans went to Tengxulu for a drink. Not only did they not pay for the drinks, they also blackmailed the shopkeeper. There was a dispute between the two parties, and the six fans beat people, which was a public outrage. As a result

Together with the restaurant's waiter, diners, and the people watching the excitement, they took action and killed three people on the spot. The other three were also seriously injured and struggled to escape. The officers and soldiers rushed to suppress it, but the people dispersed in a rush.

He was able to take the shopkeeper and the waiter of Tengxuluo into the Yamen and torture him. Unexpectedly, someone entered the Yamen that night and not only rescued the shopkeeper and the waiter of Tengxuluo, but also killed all three Fanzi who were recovering from their injuries.

The heads were hung on the high pole in front of the yamen. Since then, Fanzi has become a street rat, his arrogance has been reduced a lot, and he does not dare to show his face easily. I think these two Fanzi were invited by Mr. Wan to come to see me today.

If something happens to them, Mr. Wan is afraid that the government will embarrass him, so he will not dare to speak out and can only pretend not to know. If he does not dare to say it, no one will suspect that these two people died in Magong Temple."
