The figure smiled and had a friendly face. Through the light, we could see clearly what the famous owner of Banfenlou, Shi Xianqiao, looked like.

He looks the same as the teacher in the private school. He has gray hair, slender eyes, and a somewhat long and narrow face. He looks very thin and doesn't have much flesh.

At first glance, I just thought that this person was really not very good-looking. At second glance, it seemed that there was something more special than before. When I looked at it for a third time, I was already attracted by this seemingly ordinary face.

I was deeply attracted.

The eyes are a little longer, but the smile on the eyebrows looks more real. The cheeks are thin, dotted with a tall nose. There is a lot of approachability in the high-spirited spirit. After just a few glances, I feel that the person in front of me is a

A trustworthy mentor.

"This appointment was made by me. If you don't want to disturb me, the heroes outside the house will also come in and sit down. Don't see anyone outside until you are halfway up the floor." Shi Xianqiao said with a harmonious smile.

Gu Tiexin bowed and whistled softly, and Mad Beggar and others jumped up to the pavilion on the second floor, took a look inside the room, clasped their fists and saluted, their attitudes extremely humble.

Shi Xianqiao stood up and returned the salute, raised her hand and said, "Come in quickly, there are spies everywhere in Zhuocheng now, we have to be careful."

Gu Tiexin and others jumped into the house. The crazy beggar looked around the courtyard and closed the windows.

The five people sat around the wooden table, and Shi Xianqiao poured tea for Gu Tiexin and others.

Jiang Wan was very anxious and just wanted to ask if there was any news about Mengzhuang and the others, but Gu Tiexin and Crazy Beggar looked calm, and Shi Xianqiao didn't say anything. He couldn't restrain his anxiety and asked in a low voice: "Master Shi, I'm here."

Is there any news about Third Brother and the others?"

Shi Xianqiao put down the teapot, looked at Jiang Wan, sighed slightly, and said: "I sent people to investigate everywhere and got a lot of information, but there is no news about the whereabouts of the three of them, Meng Daxia. I don't know what they are hiding."

It’s a place.”

"Ah, what can we do? If we can't even find out the landlord, then who else can?"

Jiang Wan said anxiously. Gu Tiexin and others also looked worried. The whereabouts of Mengzhuang and the others were unknown, which was indeed a difficult matter.

Shi Xianqiao smiled apologetically and said in a deep voice: "You seven bandits are here this time as invited. The safety of our brothers and brothers will not be ignored. Please rest assured, nephew Jiang Xian."

"Master Shi, is there such a force in Zhuo City that can abduct a few of the beggar's third brothers without leaving any traces behind?"

"Yes." Shi Xianqiao glanced at the crazy beggar.

He said in a condensed voice, "Zhuo City is a mixed bag of good and bad, the four major gangs each have their own merits, and the power of the imperial court cannot be underestimated.

If they rely on force, although these forces may have the strength to capture Meng Daxia and several others, it would be very difficult for them to hide it from so many eyes and ears in Zhuo City.

According to my speculation, it is either a force that we have neglected, or the other two forces working together to take action."

"Who will benefit the most from capturing the third younger brother?" Gu Tiexin thought hard.

Shi Xianqiao looked at Gu Tiexin approvingly and asked harmoniously: "What are your guesses about Nephew Gu?"

"If they are from the Shangzheng Yamen lineage, they are eager to frame the fault. Although there are suspicions of arresting the three of them, they will not act so gently, and the movement will not be so small that even the landlord Shi cannot find out the news.

As for the other gangs in Zhuo City, I think it is possible.

At this time, I don’t want to push me too hard, and I don’t want to let us leave and hold back my younger generation’s closest relatives and friends.

First of all, it allows us to surrender to him and obey his orders.

Secondly, while waiting for the official documents to be issued by the imperial court, you can discuss your merits, reward them, and gain favor from the imperial court.

Other than that, just as the poster said, we really missed someone!"

"Well, what my nephew said makes sense, and it coincides with the old man."

Shi Xianqiao nodded and said, "In my opinion, the last scenario is the most likely and the most difficult to test."

Gu Tiexin responded solemnly: "This junior also guesses the same way, Master Shi, are there so many masters in Zhuo City?"

Shi Xianqiao and Yan Yi smiled and said: "Meng Daxia is not weak in martial arts, Sun Daxia is even more aware of the tricks in the world, Fairy Ling is extremely intelligent, so it stands to reason that she would not leave any traces like this.

However, there are many masters at the feet of the emperor, and there are some extraordinary martial arts masters in the palace and various ministries. Although they are all doing their own thing, there is no way that someone can secretly arrange an ambush."

After speaking, Shi Xianqiao paused for a moment, then sighed and continued, "Originally, you seven great bandits were as high as the sky, allowing birds to fly, and the sea to be vast, allowing fish to swim, but you were dragged into this quagmire by the old man."

"Master Shi Lou has seen the outside world. Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all living things like rotten dogs. The court is unethical and treats the people as fish and meat. Although we are bandits, there are some things we do without scruples.

In response to Senior's request, our brothers have never regretted it. Senior, please don't take it to heart." Gu Tiexin said loudly.

Diao Cheng was already dizzy after hearing this, so he quickly interrupted and asked: "Master Shi, who leaked the whereabouts of us?"

Gu Tiexin and Crazy Beggar's expressions tightened and they looked at Shi Xianqiao intently.

The seven bandits were exhausted these days, and the whereabouts of the three men from Mengzhuang were unknown. The reason was that they were exposed in Shangzheng Yamen and were framed for their crimes.

Since the fire, the Seven Bandits have not had time to investigate who leaked the news.

"This person was mentioned by Nephew Gu and Crazy Hero." Shi Xianqiao sighed.

"Who is it?" The mad beggar asked in a cold voice with a murderous look in his eyes.

"Zhongshu ordered Dr. Lou Tian."

"What!?" Gu Tiexin and Crazy Beggar cried out in shock, looking at Shi Xianqiao in disbelief.

Gu Tiexin was surprised and said: "How could it be Mr. Lou? This is incredible!"

“I couldn’t believe it when I first heard it.

As you all know, one of the reasons why Banfenlou used his friends in the Jianghu to rob corrupt officials and repay the common people and curb the arrogance of these cowardly people in the court is that a few wise ministers in the court wanted to clean up the evil spirits.

If you can find evidence that powerful officials are corrupt and bending the law, you can try to eliminate the corruption in the party and allow the wise people in the court to show their talents.

Lord Lou Tian of Zhongshu Ling is one of them. I didn’t expect Lord Lou to leak our plan." Shi Xianqiao sighed.

Gu Tiexin frowned and said in a deep voice: "If you say this, wouldn't it mean that even half a floor is in danger?"

Shi Xianqiao smiled bitterly and said slowly: "Fortunately, although Mr. Lou leaked the plan this time, he did not reveal the perpetrators other than him. Otherwise, Zhuocheng City would not be so peaceful now."
