A knife in love

Chapter 119

At this moment, only an old voice said: "Everyone, please listen to the old man."

This voice contained profound internal strength, even amidst the noise of the crowd, it was still clearly sent to everyone's ears.Yan Dufei said in a low voice: "Old thief Tang couldn't bear it anymore, and finally jumped out by himself."

When Qunhao saw Tang He speak, he immediately stopped talking.Several bodyguards from Xingyuan Escort Agency lifted a table in front of Tang He, but without seeing how hard he was, his body flew up lightly and landed on the table.People in the surrounding rivers and lakes are all masters of martial arts, seeing Tang He inadvertently revealing his lightness skills, they immediately cheered.

Tang He smiled slightly, pressed his hands in front of his body, and said loudly: "Since the Yanmenguan Martial Arts Conference more than [-] years ago, there has never been a grand event that gathered so many martial arts heroes like today. Our martial arts People in the middle place pay attention to making friends with martial arts, and you must never use martial arts to bully others. Therefore, if everyone is noisy, it is noisy, and if you are noisy, you must be noisy, and you must not throw your fist at each other, which will hurt everyone's harmony."

Before he could finish speaking, someone said loudly: "Old Escort Tang is right, everyone is from the martial arts lineage, if we quarrel like just now, we will lose our identity, and if it spreads, people will laugh at us."

Then someone said: "This friend is right. Fortunately, the old security guard Tang is from a strategic position and pointed out a clear way for us. Everyone must listen to the old security guard Tang's orders, so as to have a chance of survival!"

What he said was too flattering, and immediately countless people booed.Another person said angrily: "Feng, you Qingfengzhai intercepted escort vehicles in Hebei, and did business without capital, but why didn't you intercept the escort vehicles of Xingyuan Escort Bureau? When the car arrived in Hebei, one of your village masters openly asked us to change into the escort flags of the Xingyuan Escort Bureau, and charged us ten taels of silver for each flag. Today you are trying your best to speak for the Xingyuan Escort Bureau, I am afraid that you will accept Tang Lao Escort That's a lot of money!"

The previous village owner surnamed Feng was furious when he heard this, and shouted: "We in Hebei are both black and white, and we all have respect for old escort Tang. His escort chariots are naturally allowed all the way. You southern barbarians If you don't understand the rules, we kindly persuade you to change to the Xingyuan Escort's flags to keep people and vehicles safe. This is for your own good. You don't appreciate it. Now instead, we are calling us ill-intentioned. It really is a dog biting Lu Dongbin , I don’t know a good heart!”

At this time, an old man said: "This friend of the Yangwu Escort Bureau is right. The Xingyuan Escort Bureau has been very prestigious these years. In the provinces north of the Yellow River, except for Shandong, there are escort vehicles under the banner of the Xingyuan Escort Bureau. Unscrupulous. Last year, because there was a funeral in Gaojiazhuang in Pingyao, Shanxi, a bodyguard from Xingyuan Escort Bureau was not allowed to visit the village on the same day. Three days later, a group of robbers suddenly came and ransacked Gaojiazhuang and killed Zhuang. There were more than [-] civilians, and they stole countless property. Afterwards, it was rumored that the Shanxi bandit "Jinzhong Gang" did it. The Jinzhong Gang did harm to Shanxi, but they also let the escort cars of the Xingyuan Escort Bureau go. I don't know Mr. Tang What is the explanation for the escort?"

Tang He looked at the old man and said with a smile: "I don't know who it is. It turns out to be Mr. Fan from Jimo. Mr. Fan is a rich man in Jimo. He has bought a lot of land these years. He heard that his family is rich. The words are different from those of us quacks."

The old man surnamed Fan snorted, and said: "Old escort Tang has something to say, there is no need to be so blunt, yin and yang, it makes people feel uncomfortable."

Tang He said: "Since I'm telling the truth, I don't have to hide it. My Xingyuan Escort Agency has been established for more than forty years. At first it was just a small Escort Agency near the capital, with only five escorts, and the escorts did not leave Hebei province. Relying on the favor of friends in the Jianghu, give us a meal for the Escort. Over the past forty years, the Xingyuan Escort has gained a small reputation in the north of the Yellow River. Tang is not talented. When a friend came to the Escort for help, Tang never refused. Some of these friends later became prosperous, and they appreciated the Xingyuan Escort. This is because our friends gave us face, not what the Xingyuan Escort used behind their backs. Shameful means.

"As the friend from the Yangwu Escort Bureau said, Zhaizhu Feng was originally a clerk in the Wangjia Pharmacy in Nanliu Hutong, Beijing. One year, he went to buy medicines outside the customs with the second shopkeeper. Unexpectedly, he met a robber in Daling River. The second shopkeeper If someone killed someone with a knife, Village Master Feng was about to be killed by the robbers. It was the escort car of our Xingyuan Escort Bureau that happened to pass by, which killed the robbers and saved Village Master Feng's life. Such a trivial matter, Xingyuan The Escort Bureau did not know how much it had done, so we did not take it seriously when Village Master Feng once said that he would repay the great favor of the Xingyuan Security Bureau. , to be lenient to our Xingyuan Escort Bureau, it is because he thinks about the source of drinking water and repays his kindness, but it has nothing to do with our Xingyuan Escort Bureau."

When Tang He said this, he turned to the village master Feng and said, "Brother Feng, is there any falsehood in Tang's words?"

The head of the village, Feng, said: "Old bodyguard Tang told the truth. Without Xingyuan's bodyguards acting righteously, how could I, old Feng, be the head of the village? Even the more than 200 brothers in Qingfengzhai would not be where they are today. We, Qingfengzhai, swear to defend the Xingyuan Escort Bureau to the death, not to mention your martial arts Escort Bureau, it is the military rations and military pay of the court, if you don’t hang the Xingyuan Escort Bureau’s escort flag, our Qingfeng Village will also move it to the mountain for you!"

Tang He smiled and said: "Old Mr. Fan only knows one thing about the Gaojiazhuang, but not the other. That day our escort car had to borrow a way from the village, and the tall and wealthy lion in the village opened his mouth and asked for 100 taels of silver. Just let our bodyguard car enter the villa. Think about it, everyone, we can only earn 200 taels of silver for a trip, how can we have to pay 100 taels for passing a village? So our bodyguards had to take a detour And go.

"As for the Jinzhong gang of bandits, their boss used to be an official of the court. This official committed a crime and was dispatched to serve in the frontier. But he wanted to kill him. It turned out that this official was implicated in a nest case, and he took the charge by himself. He wanted to save the official in the same case, in exchange for his wife and children. Unexpectedly, those accomplices are still worried , actually bribed the police to get rid of him halfway, so that it will be settled and there will be no future troubles. At that time, the head of the escort Wang of our escort agency came to the rescue, expelled the two tolerances, and saved the life of the official. This official later became the white fan master of the Jinzhong Gang. That day when I heard that Gaojiazhuang deliberately made things difficult for us, this friend was so angry that he brought bandits down the mountain and ransacked Gaojiazhuang. This Gaojiazhuang The big family in the village is not a good person. It is really a disaster for the local people to bully and bully women. The Jinzhong gang killed only this big family and his family's evil thugs, and distributed most of the money to the people in the village. Excuse me Mr. Fan, what does this have to do with my Xingyuan Escort?"

The old man surnamed Fan saw that Tang He had admitted the matter, but he talked about it with eloquence, pushing the responsibility for the matter away, but he couldn't refute it for a while, so he could only sneer and said: "The mouth grows on your face." Come on, what you say is what you say, anyway, everyone has not seen it."

Tang He said: "You must know the affairs of the world, and you can't escape the word 'reason'. If you can't believe what I say, Tang will find a trustworthy person for you. The Hengshan School is a well-known and decent school that has lived in Shanxi for generations. Regarding the Gaojiazhuang case, The Hengshan faction knows a lot. The head of the Hengshan faction has also come here today, so I invited him to be a notarizer for the Xingyuan Escort Bureau."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a man in gray robe walking out of the crowd.This man was over 40 years old, and he held a long sword in his right hand. Many people in the group recognized this man as the head of the Hengshan School, Quan Da Gao.Quan Dagao said: "The Gaojiazhuang case was known to everyone back then, and more than 20 people were killed. It was a major case that shocked the world. Even the Ministry of Criminal Justice in the capital sent important officials to Shanxi to investigate and deal with it. My Hengshan faction is honored by my friends from all corners of the country, and I regard it as a decent school in the martial arts. Since I am a famous and decent school, of course I have to be a hero and help the poor. Therefore, my Hengshan faction also sent many disciples to Gaojiazhuang to investigate, trying to find out this case to seek justice for the dead villagers. But when we got there, we found out that there was no good person in the family of the Gao family in Gaojiazhuang. Seven of them were civilian daughters he robbed. All four of his sons were murderous, and each of them had more than a dozen lives in their hands. There are more than 200 households in Gaojiazhuang, all of whom are tenants of Gaoda's family. After giving birth to a son, he had to plant land for 15 years, and after giving birth to a daughter, he had to be a maidservant for the Gao family. Many girls were ruined by the Gao family. The Jinzhong gang killed the Gao family, and Zhuang Min beat the gong Beating the drums, everyone said it was a good kill. It's just that this matter was done by the Jinzhong Gang, and it has nothing to do with the Xingyuan Escort Bureau."

After Quan Dagao finished speaking, he said to the old man surnamed Fan: "Mr. Fan's prestige is well known to the Hengshan School. Mr. Fan's son is the master of the yamen of the prefect of Jimo. The Fan family has more than 3000 mu in Jimo. Good point. You don’t need Quan to talk about the relationship between Mr. Fan and the Taishan faction?”
