Night, Dengzhou City.

The Cao Gang headquarters, which was so quiet in the past, was full of guests that night.

The whole street of houses near them are houses one by one, one after another, one after another. No matter in the courtyard, where tables and chairs can be arranged, there are almost all banquets. The scene is full of liveliness.

Obviously, Gang Di was treating guests to dinner, and he had prepared this meal long ago.

According to his original plan, this should be a celebration banquet - to celebrate his becoming the head of the sect, it is natural to invite all the heroes of the world who attended the meeting today.

However, the plan cannot keep up with the changes...

At the Seven Heroes' Meeting during the day, Di Buyi did not choose the leader of the sect as he wished. Of course, we can't say that he "was not selected", we can only say... we will discuss it again.

So what's going on?

In fact, it was in the afternoon. Di Buyi saw that the Hunyuan Star Sect had already made a comeback to join the fourth and third gangs, so he calculated on the stage: "After all the troublemakers named Zhang and Huang, the Chivalrous Sect, Zhongyi Sect, and Xingyi Sect are all in trouble with me. Cao Laosan, the old fox, has stabbed me in the back, and He Yinshan is another fence-bearer... If I start discussing the election of the chief sect leader now, I will definitely not be able to choose. I must find a way to put this aside in advance..."

After he made up this, he found an excuse to mention the previous incident... that is, Ge Shi's death, Guo Cong and Lin Yuancheng's attack, and said that this matter was related to his reputation, and he also wanted to "remain justice in the Chivalrous Sect", so before finding out, he suggested that the matter of choosing the chief sect was put aside.

The reason Di Buyi found... is very good, because it is not only because he is suspected; as he analyzed in the sophistry, if he follows the motive of "blame the Cao Gang and secretly seize the chief of the general sect", every leader of the four and three sects will be suspected, so it is indeed inappropriate to choose the chief sect before you figure it out. If you choose one person and prove that the conspiracy was initiated by him, wouldn't you kill him and then re-select?

When Di Buyi mentioned this, the heads of other factions were not easy to object, because opposition would seem suspicious, as if the matter was done by you.

The heads of the fourth sect and third gangs do not object, and the people from other sects will not object. Anyway, you have given the newly joined seventh sect now. Those sects who want to join your alliance have no hope. Now who you are the chief sect leader has nothing to do with them?

As for those rich men in the world who were just to give face or join in the fun and "witness", they have also witnessed that Hunyuan Star Sect was selected into the fourth gang and the third gang "openly and fairly". How do you investigate Ge Shi's death is your internal affairs, and they have no objection.

That's it, this Seven Heroes Conference ends here.

This is also the first time since the establishment of the alliance of the Four Sects and Three Gangs, they have ended the meeting without selecting the head of the sect.

This will be dispersed, but the people have not dispersed.

The rules of the world are generally speaking, after everyone comes to attend such a gathering of fellow workers, the person in charge of the host will treat you.

Although Di Buyi was quite depressed, he still had to do the banquet... Even if he didn't do it temporarily, the chefs, ingredients, tables, chairs, tableware, etc. he had already booked in advance would still be paid for. Why did he have to offend others if he lost money?

So, around the Shenshi period, the Cao Gang fleets successively set off ships and began to transport the rich tourists from the world back.

After returning from Liugong Island, hundreds of martial arts people almost went straight to the Cao Gang headquarters, and then happened to be at the meal time.

These gangs... are all martial arts practitioners. They have a big appetite, and the lunch they have not tasted delicious this day. Now that they are setting up a luxurious banquet, they will no longer be polite to the leader of the Di... The one who shook his cheeks and lifted his back teeth, regardless of whether it was delicacies or coarse grains and rough brans, they swallowed them down.

But Gang Master Di himself was so angry that his stomach hurt, he couldn't eat anything, and he had to laugh and greet the guests.

…………

To put it short, at the age of 3:00, the banquet finally ended almost.

Although most people still go back to the inn by themselves after drinking and eating, there are also many rough men who "drink like corpses", so they have to be carried out by the Cao Gang.

Just as the minions of the Cao Gang worked overtime overnight to clean up the mess, Di Buyi was also cleaning up another "small thing".

…………

squeak--

Accompanied by the sound of the door shaft turning, Di Buyi pushed open the door of a teahouse and walked in.

The teahouse is spacious and brightly lit.

At this moment, five people were already sitting inside waiting for him.

I believe everyone can guess who these five are: Lu Kang, the leader of the Xiayi Sect, and his senior sister Lei Sanniang; Lu Yan, the leader of the Zhongyi Sect, and his younger brother Lu Shiyuan; and Shao Dejin, the leader of the Xingyi Sect.

Di Buyi invited them to discuss the matter of the ambush of their disciples by a killer.

After all, this incident was caused by Di Buyi's sister-in-law Ruan. Although the matter has not been exposed now, it is obviously not "finished". If Di Buyi does not strike while the iron is hot, not only will his plan to be the leader of the sect will be blocked, but it may even be detrimental to his "nephew" Di Gui one day in the future.

Therefore, today at the banquet, Di Buyi was greeting guests while secretly thinking about how to expose the matter...

His cunning and wiseness were still possible, and soon he had an idea, so he sent someone to invite the four people from the Xiayimen and Zhongyimen to go to the teahouse to discuss.

As for Shao Dejin... In fact, no one invited him. After the banquet, he saw Lord Lumen and others walking to the back hall, so he followed him.

At this point, there is no need for Shao Dejin to come, because Lin Yuancheng has turned against him and is no longer from his Xingyi Sect. What position does he have to seek "justice" for Lin Yuancheng? But everyone understands this person surnamed Shao... As for the villain's heart, he feels that there are advantages to take in this matter, and if he doesn't come, he will lose.

So Shao Dejin not only came, but also became very arrogant. He looked at Di Buyi who had just entered the house and was the first to speak: "Gang Master Di is so arrogant, let's wait."

Others would not say this, even Lei Sanniang, who was deeply bitter and revenge, would not say it, because they all understood that Di Buyi would come late, and was just to socialize with fellow workers outside. Those people did not come today, but to the "Seven Heroes Society". If Di Buyi was not greeted well at this banquet, he would have smashed the face of the four gangs and three gangs.

Only Shao Dejin insisted on finding such a very low-key stubborn person, as if he said this, Di Buyi was really in a loss and even owed him something.

"Di, you still have to take into account the face of these four sects and three gangs..." Sure enough, when Di Buyi took his seat, he retorted, "I am not like some people. I am not good at inner self, and I have almost lost all my face."

"Hmph!" Shao Dejin heard this and slapped the coffee table, "Who is your identity, my surname is Di? Old Master Lu is still sitting here. When will it be your turn to face the fourth and third gangs..."

"Okay, okay..." Unexpectedly, Lu Yan interrupted him the next second, "I appreciate the kindness of Sect Master Shao, but I am afraid I can't afford to take on this old bone."

Although Lu Yan is old, he is not confused.

What was the occasion when Shuangxiong used this to talk about it before? It was above the Seven Heroes Association - in public, in full view, thousands of people from all walks of life were watching, so they could use this "ritual discussion" method to set up Di Buyi.

But what is the occasion now? This is the back hall of the Cao Gang headquarters. Several leaders and deputy leaders of the four gangs and gangs are negotiating privately. At this time, you Shao Dejin is talking about this? Who cares about you? You even raised me, Old Lu, as the Sword Envoy of Shangfang... Are you stupid?

"Hey? You..." Shao Dejin didn't expect that he would be blocked by Lu Yan, and his face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment.

Di Buyi was too lazy to talk too much about this waste, and ignored him directly and continued: "Everyone, there are no outsiders here at the moment, only a few of us sects related to 'that incident', so Di said it straight..." He paused, "I can swear to the heavens that I will send a killer to attack and kill Master Ge, Master Guo, and Young Master Lin, and the people of Master Lin, not me. If this statement is false, I would be punished by the evil ghost, and I will not die well, and fall into the eighteenth level of hell forever."

"Ha! Joke!" Before the other party finished speaking, Shao Dejin laughed, "Can you use swear to make evidence? Do you want to ask the people here to believe you?"

However, Lu Kang, Lei Sanniang and the Lu brothers did not laugh.

If Shao Dejin swears here today, no one would believe this, but Di Buyi said this...the credibility is not low.

The reason is very simple - Shao Dejin is a villain, while Di Buyi is a hero.

A villain has the convenience of a villain, and a hero has the burden of a hero.

People like Di Buyi are arrogant and arrogant, and they are the only ones. The more ruthless the methods of others are, the more obsessed with self-admiration.

It is not surprising that if you say that Di Buyi will do something shameful behind his back and deny it in front of others later; but if you say that he will take his life, or even swear in the next life, he should not be able to do it...

Even if he does not believe in ghosts and gods, he will not be afraid of ghosts and gods, as long as there is a slight possibility... the poisonous curse will come true and he will not let himself bear this risk.

Furthermore, some of the things Di Buyi said on the stage of the Qixiong Society are correct: With the current strength of the Cao Gang, as long as everything is as usual, the head of the sect is undoubtedly his belongings. What reason does he have to plot against those juniors? Regardless of whether the plot is successful or not, it will not do anything good to him, and it will only ruin his affairs.

"Well... Lu also believes that this is not what you did." After a moment of silence, Lu Yan also ignored Shao Dejin and said directly to Di Buyi, "Just..."

"It's just that this matter is in the territory of my Cao Gang. As the leader, I should give you an explanation." Di Buyi took Lu Yan's words and said, "I understand this... I naturally understand it." He pretended to be like he really didn't know who the murderer was, and said, "But it takes time to find out the truth, and even if it takes time, there may not be any truth..."

They all understand the second half of his words.

In those days, the government had a lot of murders that were not clear, let alone Jianghu and Green Forest Road.

For example, a disciple of Sect A and a disciple of Sect B met on an unmanned mountain path. The two had a little argument, and then one of them killed the other and kicked the body down the mountain... How should we investigate this?

As long as the murderer no longer mentions it to others, who will know where the deceased is? The body fell under the cliff and is likely to be eaten by wild animals in less than half a day. Why is there such a coincidence in this world that someone happened to find the corpse under the cliff in half a day? Not to mention... Even if someone really found the corpse, that person might not report the official; why do people get into a life lawsuit that has nothing to do with them? What if the government in that place directly arrested the person who reported the official as the murderer in order to close the case, tortured and convicted of death? This kind of thing was also very common at that time.

In short, in that evil old society, there were so many unresolved murders. Di Buyi's sentence "It may not be true"... nothing else is very real.

"Then my son Ge Shi's death... Is it just so unclear?" Lei Sanniang was definitely unacceptable to this kind of answer.

"Sister Lei is at ease." Di Buyi replied, "I said, check... I will check it naturally, but I can't guarantee how long it will take to investigate, and I can't guarantee how much results will be found." He said this, and the topic changed, "Let's take a step back and say that even if one day I find out the real murderer and hand it over to Senior Sister Lei, you will cut it into pieces, then Brother Ge will not be able to recover from the dead."

"Then what you mean..." Lei Sanniang got angry a little, and her tone suddenly became very shocking again, "Can I beg you for your grief?"

"It's not bad..." Di Buyi said, "I just want to persuade Senior Sister Lei to say that the future is long, so don't be angry for the grudge that cannot avenge this time and place..."

All the words were good, and Lei Sanniang was not good enough to curse the streets, so she could only snorted coldly: "Hmph... I'm still very tough, so I won't bother the leader of the Laudi Gang."

Seeing that Di Buyi had stabilized the most difficult victim, he stopped talking about this matter. He immediately raised his hand and patted it twice.

As soon as the applause fell, several Cao Gang members lifted the curtains behind the teahouse and carried out two large boxes with a groan.

Dong--

Dong--

The sounds of these two boxes falling to the ground are very similar, and most people may not be able to hear any difference, but to these experts, it is obvious that which one is heavier and which one is slightly lighter.

"Anyway, this time, Mr. Ge was killed in the territory of my Cao Gang, and the killers were also trying to blame me..." Di Buyi continued, "So, no matter how hard Di said, it is still a big deal." He raised his hand and pointed to the heavier box and said to Lu Kang and Lei Sanniang, "This box of things is Di's intention to Mr. Ge and the Xiayi Sect. There are more and less... I hope you will be more responsible."

Everyone, you know that wine is a good person, and wealth is touching.

What Di Buyi said is all right: Now that people are dead, you will not be able to find the murderer for a while. Even if you find it in the future, you will not be able to bring Ge Shi back to life. However, the box of "profits" in front of you is within reach.

In addition, Di Buyi had known before today that the financial situation of the Xiayi Sect was quite poor in recent years, because they had not produced any decent talents in their younger generation for a long time, which led to their local power not developing much, and it was even a bit difficult to defend their original business... In this case, this large box of wealth can be said to be a timely help, and at least it can solve their urgent needs.

Sure enough, at this moment, Lu Kang looked at the box and immediately threw a look at Senior Sister Lei, which was almost begging.

Lord Lumen knows the current situation of the Chivalrous Sect best. Their actual situation is actually worse than what Di Buyi found, so they really need this money...

As for Lei Sanniang, she did want to retort, "Did my son buy my life with this box of money?" But when she saw Lu Kang's eyes, she still held back.

Think about it calmly, even if she forced Di Buyi, she would probably not get any better results. Moreover, she had to rely on the Caobang to help her find the murderer, and it would be of no benefit to further deteriorate the relationship between the two parties.

So, after weighing the pros and cons, Lei Sanniang finally... nodded to Lu Kang silently.

Lu Kangru received a general amnesty and bowed to Di Buyi and said, "Gang Master Di... You're so polite."

Lao Lu just pretended to refuse, which is a regular process.

Di Buyi knew that he had done it as soon as he heard this sentence, and immediately showed a refreshing smile: "Haha... Where did Lord Lumen say, it should be, it should be!"
To be continued...
