Elder Xu said solemnly: "That's good, Qiao Feng, although you behave like a hero, it can't cover up your evil wolf ambition! If you surrender without mercy, we can consider giving you a lighter sentence!"
Qiao Feng felt angry in his heart, "Elder Xu, I respect you as a senior, so I am very respectful to you, but what do you mean by this? I, Qiao Feng, have been upright and aboveboard in my life and have never conspired to frame others. Why are you alone?"
Everyone keeps saying that I am a Khitan, so why would I betray the Beggar Clan?"
Elder Xu became even more angry, "Qiao Feng, let me ask you, where did you get Mrs. Ma Kang Min, the widow of the former deputy gang leader Ma Dayuan, to where did you do it?"
Qiao Feng was shocked, what does Kang Min have to do with me?
He was extremely confused: "Mrs. Ma Kang Min? I have never seen her recently?"
Elder Xu sneered and said: "Still pretending? Elder Bai, you asked me to come, why don't you tell the truth about the situation!"
The heroes immediately turned their attention to Bai Shijing.
Bai Shijing is the law enforcement elder of the Beggar Gang. He has always been impartial and selfless. No one in the gang has violated the gang rules and punishments. You should be afraid of him when you see him. He is a highly respected and respectable person in the world. In addition, he also has a
His identity is Qiao Feng's sworn brother.
"Elder Bai, please speak a fair word for me!" Qiao Feng also trusted Bai Shijing and said loudly.
Bai Shijing took a deep look at him and said, "Gang leader, there are many twists and turns in this process. You might as well just take it. I can't help you either!"
As soon as he said this, Qiao Feng's expression suddenly changed, "What do you mean by this?"
Three miles away, Qin Ran looked at the misunderstandings and fights in the apricot forest with a telescope and shook his head slightly. This Qiao Feng was indeed heroic. Unfortunately, he was a Khitan. In this era when the Central Plains dynasty and the Khitans were fighting each other, his end was doomed.
It's a tragedy.
Bai Shijing said expressionlessly: "Gang leader, please explain first why you kidnapped Mrs. Ma Kang Min!"
This question was like a thunderbolt from the blue, striking Qiao Feng severely, "What are you talking nonsense about? I have been in Wuxi these days, how could I go to Luoyang and kidnap Mrs. Ma?"
Quan Guanqing immediately sneered and said: "You can deny what you did in front of me and Elder Bai? Qiao Feng, why didn't I realize you were so good at acting before?"
Qiao Feng was silent. He vaguely felt that there was a big net in the dark, covering him. He said solemnly: "I have been staying in Wuxi for the past few days and have never been to Luoyang. Just based on this
How can your words prove that I was the one who kidnapped Mrs. Ma?"
"Qiao Feng, it seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin!" Bai Shijing said expressionlessly: "Come here and bring witnesses."
Soon, a dozen pale-faced disciples of the Beggar Clan who looked like they were seriously injured were brought up. A disciple stepped forward and said: "Elders, I am a four-bag disciple of the chief helmsman. I have a low status.
But a few days ago, I saw with my own eyes that Gang Leader Qiao angrily broke into Mrs. Ma’s residence, injured more than ten of me and others in full public view, and kidnapped Mrs. Ma!”
The other disciples of the Beggar Clan nodded in unison, said yes, and testified for him.
"This is impossible!" Qiao Feng's brows deepened the more he listened. He looked around and said loudly: "I don't know where Qiao Feng has offended you all, and he actually came up with such a vicious plan to frame me!"
Elder Xu said in a deep voice: "Indeed, if there are only one-sided words from these Beggar Gang disciples, I certainly cannot conclude that it was you who committed evil and kidnapped Mrs. Ma privately. However, I received the kidnapped Mrs. Ma the day before yesterday and asked the gang in advance to
A letter from a close disciple!"
The bad premonition in Qiao Feng's heart became stronger.
Elder Xu took out two letters from his arms, one of which was pink letter paper with Juanxiu font written all over it.
Elder Xu glanced at Qiao Feng, then slowly opened his mouth and read loudly: "The widow, Mr. Ma, would like to pay my respects to Elder Xu. My late husband unfortunately passed away, and I have asked all my uncles to take care of the funeral. The widow sincerely expresses his deepest gratitude."
As he chanted, the faces of everyone in the Beggar Clan gradually became serious.
Everyone knew that Mrs. Ma must have discovered a major clue to her husband's death, so she wrote the letter. However, she did not directly report the gang leader first, but instead wrote to ask Elder Xu for decision-making.
It's really very strange.
Elder Xu continued to read: "Unfortunately, my late husband passed away. The little girl could only blame herself for her misfortune. After burying her late husband, when checking his belongings, she unexpectedly found a suicide note sealed with fire paint in his collection of scriptures.
The cover reads:
'If Yu dies, this letter will be burned immediately. Anyone who looks at it will destroy the remaining body, which will make Yu Jiuquan uneasy. If Yu dies unexpectedly, this letter will be handed over to the elders of this gang immediately to be opened and read together. It is a matter of great importance and must not be mistaken.'"
When Elder Xu said this, there was a silence in the apricot forest. You could really hear a pin drop. He paused and continued:
"I saw that my late husband wrote solemnly and knew that the matter was of great importance, so I immediately went to see the leader of the gang and submitted a suicide note. Fortunately, the leader of the gang went south to Wuxi with the elders at that time and was not in the gang. I was anxious and opened this letter without permission. It was a shame that
Only in this way can I know the causes and consequences of my late husband’s death.”
When everyone heard the letter, the tone was different. They said "fortunately" and "lucky" at the same time. They all looked at Qiao Feng subconsciously.
From all the things that happened tonight, Qiao Feng had already realized that there was a very important plot against him. When Mrs. Ma said this, he looked calm and thought to himself, "Whatever conspiracy you have, just use it."
Okay. Qiao has never done anything wrong in his life. No matter how framed or framed he is, why should Qiao be afraid?"
Elder Xu continued to read: "I know this letter involves important matters in the gang. Since the gang leader and the elders are not in Luoyang, I was afraid of delaying the opportunity, and I was afraid that gang leader Qiao would find out about this and come to murder the little girl, so I immediately wrote to Elder Xu to ask for help.
, submit a letter and ask him to make the decision. Please let Elder Xu inform you of the future matters."
The crowd was in chaos.
What Mrs. Ma said in her letter was conclusive and pointed directly at Qiao Feng.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Qiao Feng shouted angrily: "Elder Xu, are you going to abolish Qiao's position as gang leader just based on this letter that I don't know is true or false?
?”
Elder Xu slowly and calmly took out another letter and said: "This is Ma Dayuan's suicide note. I have seen Dayuan grow up since he was a child, and I can recognize his handwriting very clearly. On the surface of this letter The words were indeed written by Dayuan."
After that, he opened the cover of the envelope, took out a piece of paper, and said: "But when I looked at this letter, I saw that the handwriting on the letter was strong, but it was not written by Dayuan. I was slightly surprised. Seeing the above paragraph It says "Brother Jianbeard", which is even more strange. Everyone knows,
The word "Jianbeard" is the nickname of the former gang leader Wang of this gang. If he were not a close friend of him, he would not call him that. And gang leader Wang has been dead for a long time, why would anyone write to him? I read this After I wrote the letter, I thought about it for a long time and had doubts in my mind, fearing that something was wrong.
I have lived for a few more years and strive to be careful in my work, not to mention that this matter involves the rise and fall of the gang and the reputation and life of a hero. How can I do it presumptuously?"
Elder Xu had a gloomy face and said decisively: "After repeated verifications, I finally made it clear. This letter was actually written by a well-connected person to Gang Leader Wang. The letter said:
Thirty years ago, a hero from the Central Plains received a message that a large number of warriors from the Khitan Kingdom were coming to attack the Shaolin Temple. They wanted to take away the martial arts manuals that had been hidden in the temple for hundreds of years. So under the leadership of this big brother, I waited for twenty Everyone rushed to the outside of Yanmen Pass and laid an ambush in front of the Rock Valley, preparing to fight the Khitans. "
He continued to read: "Outside Yanmen Pass and in front of the Rock Valley, a wave of Khitan people did come. They were cut into pieces and killed by us and others. But then a young Khitan couple came, and we continued to move forward. , intercepted and killed his wife, and accidentally killed his wife. Unexpectedly, this young man was so powerful that he killed us with corpses everywhere and rivers of blood. In the end, he jumped off a cliff and committed suicide. Only one child was left behind."
He finally handed over the letter and said: "It was written by the leading brother to Gang Leader Wang. The book strongly discourages Gang Leader Wang from passing on the position of gang leader to Gang Leader Qiao. Gang Leader Qiao may wish to read the details himself."
After saying that, he handed over the letter.
But before handing it over, Elder Xu suddenly tore off the signature of the letter, kneaded it into a ball, and swallowed it.
Qiao Feng was angry, grabbed Elder Xu and said, "Why did you destroy the evidence? Spit it out and show me what it is?"
Elder Xu said with difficulty: "You must not let you see this thing. Because this leading brother is the most prestigious person in the world, and he must not be tainted by your affairs."
Although Qiao Feng was angry, there was nothing he could do to him. He had already eaten it. How could it be possible for him to spit it out?
Qiao Feng had no choice but to take the unsigned letter, read it carefully, and saw another letter attached to the back: "This is gang leader Wang's handwriting. You should recognize his handwriting."
Qiao Feng took it and saw the letter written on it:
"He ordered the deputy gang leader of the Beggar Clan, the elders of Chuan Gong, the elders of law enforcement, and other elders, Qiao Feng, if there is anyone who is close to the Liao and rebels against the Han, and helps the Khitan to suppress the Song Dynasty, the whole gang will work together to kill them without any mistakes. Poisoning The assassination was all done with impunity, and the person who committed the crime was guilty of meritorious deeds. Wang Jiantong's own handwriting."
That was a personal message from Gang Leader Wang!
When Qiao Feng saw this, his body swayed, and he was really despairing. He clearly recognized that these lines were indeed the handwriting of his mentor Wang Jiantong. In this way, there was no doubt about his life experience.
However, he thought that his mentor had always treated him like a loving father, taught him strictly, and loved himself deeply. Who would have thought that on the day he took over as the leader of the Beggar Clan, he would secretly write this decree, which made him feel sore in his heart and tears welled up in his eyes.
, tears dripped little by little on Gang Leader Wang’s handwriting.
Elder Xu said slowly, "Who is responsible for Ma Dayuan's murder? It is difficult to say for sure at this time, but considering that he has been honest and sincere throughout his life, he is poor at speaking, and he has no enemies in the world. I really can't think of why anyone would want to do it."
take his life,
Is it because he holds something important that others want to get and are willing to get it? Are others afraid that he will reveal secrets and cause serious problems, so they want to kill him to silence him? Now, Mrs. Ma has suffered another disaster, and I'm afraid there is something related to it.
!”
The purpose of these sentences couldn't be clearer. They pointed out that the murderer of Ma Dayuan was Qiao Feng, and the one who kidnapped Kang Min was also Qiao Feng. The purpose of his murder was to cover up the evidence that he was a Khitan.
So many iron-clad facts were placed in front of him, one after another, leaving Qiao Feng unable to argue.
Qiao Feng said solemnly: "In this case, I am willing to abdicate and give up my position for the time being. I will verify everything one by one before pursuing this matter!"
Qin Ran's eyes turned cold, the most exciting part was about to come.
How could the decisive situation he created so painstakingly and with great difficulty be exactly the same as the plot?
When the letter came into his hands, he had already manipulated it to ensure that it would take effect immediately after it fell into Qiao Feng's hands!
Qiao Feng was about to tear the letter into pieces. But suddenly he saw a layer of vague handwriting flashing across the letter, and his heart moved.
Is there some hidden handwriting? This kind of handwriting is quite common in the battlefields between the Khitan and the Song Dynasty. As the leader of the Beggar Clan, Qiao Feng has participated in several battles and is quite familiar with these military formation techniques.
He suddenly said: "Come here! Get a bowl of wine!"
