Duan Ying walked to the middle, looked around, looked at each hall master and said
"I have heard what all the hall masters just said. Indeed, handing over Hall Master Su is indeed beneficial to us. After all, the Yin Sect behaves strangely and will retaliate. If we offend them, our life will not be easy. But the problem is, the Yin Sect has to
Have strength!"
"And as far as I know, the Yin Sect has been having a hard time lately."
Ma Mingshan's face was full of disbelief, and he snorted coldly, "Hall Master Duan, we all know that you have a good relationship with Hall Master Su. Isn't it because of this that you help Hall Master Su speak?"
"I say this, of course there is evidence. Recently, people from the Yin Sect killed one of Yang Guogong's daughters and made his daughter into a mummy. This caused a big fuss, and the court was shocked. Eighteen people have been dispatched to the capital.
,Search everyone in the Yin Sect."
"So now, people from the Yin Sect are like rats crossing the street, and everyone calls for beating them."
Although the Yin Sect is strong, this world still belongs to Daxia after all.
In the past, no matter how big your affairs were, as long as they did not threaten the aristocracy, the court would turn a blind eye.
But this time, Yin Zong was so bold that he harmed Yang Guogong's daughter like that.
This incident touched the bottom line of the court.
The people below are all thoughtful people.
After hearing this, everyone realized the seriousness of this matter.
If the imperial court wants to deal with the Yin Sect, the Yin Sect will definitely have a difficult time.
If they show their goodwill to Yin Zong again, what if the court becomes angry?
Wouldn't they be even more unlucky?
Looking at the solemn expressions on everyone's face, Duan Ying smiled and said, "Think about it, everyone, the court is now looking for people from the Yin Sect. If we secretly contact the Yin Sect and show our favor to the Yin Sect, if the court finds out, what will happen to us?"
No one answered, and Ma Mingshan had an ugly face dripping with tears.
"No one says so, right? Then I say, once the court finds out, it is not a matter of Jianghu, but suspicion of treason! Collusion with rebels! No matter which of these two charges, everyone will be executed, and no chicken or dog will be spared.
!”
Duan Ying shouted loudly.
"Everyone, if you must show your favor to the Yin Sect, then I, Duan Ying, will have no choice but to resign as the leader of the Peach Blossom Club to avoid being implicated in the future."
f
Everyone raised their eyebrows.
Although I know that these statements made by Duan Ying are suspected of being exaggerated.
But we must admit that there is indeed some truth to it.
Su Anlin felt happy.
This Duan Ying has some abilities. I originally thought she was bragging, but now looking at the faces of these hall masters, they are all even more frightened.
"Hall Master Duan, our place is not too far from the capital. How do you know these things? Why don't we have any news?"
Deputy gang leader Ma Mingshan asked with some disbelief.
Duan Ying said, "I have my own information channels, so I won't say how I know it. In short, the fact that Yin Zong was wanted only happened yesterday. I think it won't take long, tomorrow at the latest, this matter will be all over the city."
Everyone knows it.”
Ma Mingshan stopped talking and looked towards Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan nodded, "I have already said that Hall Master Su is the leader of our Shanhai Gang, how can he be handed over to the Yin Sect? Now it is clear that the Yin Sect is wanted, and we cannot contact him."
Su Anlin simply said, "Gang leader, please give an order for our Shanhai Gang to formally search for people from the Yin Sect, so that we can give the court a good impression later."
"Well, Hall Master Duan, we don't know who will come over to investigate?" Li Qingshan asked.
Duan Ying said, "As far as I know, it was Yang Guogong's son who came here. Yang Guogong also played an important role in the court. His daughter was killed this time, so the court went to war in such a big way!"
"The son of Duke Yang is here in person." Li Qingshan nodded. "Hall Master Duan, I will trouble you in the near future to learn more about him. It would be best if someone from Duke Yang comes over and invites them to come and talk to me so that I can fulfill my friendship as a landlord." "
At this moment, everyone could see that Duan Ying was very well-informed.
It is very possible that there is someone from the imperial court.
Furthermore, Li Qingshan's tone towards her is much better now.
"I know, Gang Leader."
Duan Ying returned to her seat and smiled at Su Anlin, with confidence in her eyes.
It seems to be saying, look, I've done it for you.
"As for what Hall Master Su just said about officially ordering a search for the Yin Sect's people, I think this matter can only be done secretly to avoid completely angering the Yin Sect."
Li Qingshan still doesn't want to confront Yin Zong.
Seeing Su Anlin's triumphant look, deputy gang leader Ma Mingshan hummed in his heart and said, "The gang leader is right, now is not a good time to anger the Yin Sect, and right now, we have another important matter to deal with."
Ma Mingshan stood up and said, "Downstream in Langxia Town, a water monster appeared on the river recently and attacked our caravans and fishermen. Now people are panicking. The city lord's palace sent three groups of people to deal with it, but they all failed and losses were incurred. many people."
"Yesterday, people from the City Lord's Mansion sent people over to ask for help. Gang Leader, I think, whether it is for ourselves or to give face to the City Lord's Mansion, we must help with this matter."
"Besides, if Yang Guogong's people come over this time, if our Shanhai Gang handles this matter and they hear about it, it will definitely improve the overall image of our Shanhai Gang!"
Li Qingshan thinks it makes sense.
Gangs like them, although many evil spirits and other things are not under their control.
But if you want to do well and the city lord's mansion asks for your help, you can't always refuse.
Otherwise, if you just want to get benefits without giving anything, who will care about you?
"Gang leader, I think it would be better for Hall Master Su to handle this matter."
Just when everyone was thinking about how to deal with the water monster, Ma Mingshan said again.
Su Anlin sneered, "Deputy gang leader, you are teasing me again. You didn't even ask me. How do you know that I handle it better?"
"Hall Master Su, don't be angry. Listen to my explanation. First of all, you are strong. You defeated Gu Zhong and his brother. Everyone sees your strength."
"Secondly, you have experience in dealing with evil spirits. I heard that an evil spirit appeared in a place before, called the woman holding an umbrella, and killed many people. It was you who solved the problem."
Su Anlin's heart surged, "So, you are secretly checking me?"
"Hall Master Su, don't think of me so badly. I just learned about it accidentally. In short, because of these two points, I think you are the right choice."
Su Anlin didn't want to be led away by the nose this time.
He immediately wanted to refuse.
But before the words were spoken, Duan Ying suddenly held the back of his hand and said, "I also think that Hall Master Su is suitable. However, he is still a bit dangerous if he is alone. I am willing to go with him!"
"You want to go together?"
Ma Mingshan immediately felt something was wrong.
Duan Ying is a woman with strength and strategy, which is not simple.
She couldn't help but see that she deliberately targeted Su Anlin.
But at this stall, she actually took the initiative to go out with Su Anlin.
What's her plan?
Su Anlin was also a little surprised.
However, his thoughts were the same as Ma Mingshan's, and Duan Ying would definitely not let it go.
"Since Hall Master Duan has said so, let's set off together." Su Anlin said.
"Then it's settled."
Li Qingshan said, "You two hall masters are going together, but be careful. After the water monster is solved, it's best to bring the body back so that I can report to the city lord."
"It's natural."
Duan Ying condenses the divine way.
When Su Anlin and Duan Ying came out, Su Anlin asked, "Hall Master Duan, you agreed to deal with the water monster for no reason. What plan should you have? Can you tell me?"
If Duan Ying hadn't made the promise for him just now, he would have trusted Duan Ying, otherwise, he would definitely fall out.
"Plan, what plan?"
Duan Ying blinked and looked at Su Anlin curiously.
Su Anlin "..."
"You have no plan?"
"What's the plan? I just feel sorry for you, so I'm just helping you." Duan Ying said sternly.
Su Anlin crossed his arms and was speechless. "Okay, you have a loud mouth and can talk well. I know you won't be so stupid."
If Chen Ruxuan did this, Su Anlin would really believe it.
After all, Chen Ruxuan is stupid and sweet.
But this is the master of the hall, the master who fought his way up from a small place step by step.
Su Anlin wouldn't believe it even to death if she said she would do something without a plan.
Seeing Su Anlin's disbelief, Duan Ying was happy, "I still can't hide it from you."
"So please explain. If you agree to deal with the water monster for me, there must be a reason. What are the benefits?"
"Well, I already knew this in the past. Now you just need to collect information about the water monster."
Duan Ying smiled mysteriously and led the people away from here.
"This woman is still cheating on me."
Su Anlin shook his head and returned to his residence.
Wang Laifu, Yao Taiming, and Ma Laixi have almost finished handling the account books.
Su Anlin checked it casually and put it aside.
He talked about how to suppress the water monster in the corridor, and finally said, "This water monster incident was a joint action between myself and Hall Master Duan Ying. Logically speaking, there is no problem, but the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, so we still can't be careless."
"Yao Taiming, please investigate the ins and outs of the water monster incident. Ma Laixi, please contact your people in Langxia Town and inform them that Hall Master Duan Ying and I will set off tomorrow morning."
It was too late today. Su Anlin felt a little tired and was not ready to set off.
The two of them took the order and went down to organize things.
…………
…………
After they left, Wang Laifu carefully took out a letter.
"Master, after you left, a maid at Xiaofeng Villa secretly stuffed this letter into me and told me that I couldn't tell anyone except you!" Wang Laifu whispered mysteriously.
"From Xiaofeng Villa?"
Su Anlin couldn't help but think of Chen Ruxuan.
The girl actually fell in love with him.
In a commanding tone, she asked him to find a way to like her.
Thinking of this, Su Anlin shook his head and chuckled.
There are weird things every year, but this year there are especially many.
Of course, this is the nature of a little girl. I can only say that Chen Ruxuan is more naive.
Fortunately, he is a good person. If he meets a bad person...
I feel pity when I think about Chen Ruxuan.
"She hasn't said anything yet?" Su Anlin asked.
"I didn't say anything, but I've seen that little girl before. She was Miss Chen's maid."
Su Anlin said, "So, Chen Ruxuan asked her to come."
"Yes, when she came, she even put on a disguise, as if she was deliberately avoiding some people."
Su Anlin frowned and said, "Okay, I get it."
"Then I'll go out first."
Wang Laifu respectfully went out and closed the door.
Su Anlin opened the envelope and the letter paper was spread out inside.
The fonts on the letter paper are very neat, elegant and full of strength.
It is Chen Ruxuan's handwriting.
There are not many words, only about a hundred words.
But after reading it, Su Anlin frowned.
The letter said that it was her birthday in a few days. At the same time, her father also held a treasure party and invited heroes from all over.
She hoped that Su Anlin could go over to celebrate her birthday.
So much information.
Su Anlin sighed deeply. Chen Ruxuan's father did not want to have anything to do with him because of the Yin Sect's affairs.
It must be very difficult for Chen Ruxuan to be caught in the middle.
"Hey, what a headache."
Su Anlin shook his head.
"That's all, let's deal with the water monster incident first. Then we can talk to Hall Master Duan Ying about the matter later and ask her for her opinion."
Su Anlin Digu.
Deep down in her heart, she regarded Duan Ying as a close sister.
"Su Anlin, Su Anlin..."
Outside the door, Guo Zihan's shout suddenly came.
Why did this girl come suddenly?
Before Su Anlin could agree, Guo Zihan ran in.
"Ahem, I didn't even say come in. Why are you coming in in such a hurry?"
Su Anlin said.
"You are a grown man, what are you trying to hide and do? It's true."
You still blame me.
Su Anlin shook his head and said, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"I just heard that you are going to Langxia Town."
"You are quite well informed. Yes, we will leave early tomorrow morning. What's wrong?" Su Anlin looked at Guo Zihan suspiciously, "You're not worried about me, are you?"
"I came here for something, and you left in a hurry. I don't know when you will come back, or if you die there, I won't see you again..."
"You can pull me down, you actually cursed me to death." Su Anlin shook his head. He knew that Guo Zihan was joking with him, so he said seriously, "Okay, let's be serious, what are you doing with me?"
Guo Zihan suddenly became nervous.
Su Anlin raised her eyebrows, is her aunt here?
The sun really comes out from the west. Why did Guo Zihan become so coquettish?
"You have a thorn on your butt? What are you doing squirming?" Su Anlin said directly.
Guo Zihan was stunned and hummed, "Did you forget what you promised me?"
"What do I promise you?" Su Anlin said.
He really didn’t remember. “Please remind me.”
"That... that last time, you said there was a way to make me not look so old..."
"Oh, put on makeup." Su Anlin remembered.
Last time, he and Guo Zihan talked about her appearance.
There were other things going on at the time, so he didn't mention them much.
Unexpectedly, Guo Zihan still remembers it now.
"You really forgot." Guo Zihan looked aggrieved.
"I'm sorry, I had something to do recently and was very busy, so I forgot about it."
"You are leaving tomorrow, why don't you tell me now, how can I look younger?"
Su Anlin looked at her, frowned and said, "It's a bit difficult."
Guo Zihan "..."
"If you don't know how to speak, speak less."
"But you have a good figure overall, beautiful facial features, and a lot of room for improvement."
