Zongwu: Eavesdropping on the inner voices, the female warriors have become strange

After confirming the handwriting, Elder Xu asked Zhao Qiansun, who had participated in the Yanmen Pass robbery and murder of Xiao Yuanshan's family, to recount the events of that year. Zhao Qiansun was immediately frightened and turned to flee when he recalled the events of that year. However, he was eventually provoked back by Quan Guanqing.

At this time, Master Zhiguang of Mount Wutai, invited by the Beggars' Gang, also arrived at the scene. Master Zhiguang had also participated in the Yanmen Pass Incident. Zhao Qiansun did not want to recall the events of that year, so he asked Master Zhiguang to tell the story.

Master Zhiguang was reluctant to speak, saying that the matter should be left alone. It must be said that Master Zhiguang was indeed a good man, if a bit foolish. However, Qiao Feng did not want to bear the accusation of any unclear crime and insisted that Master Zhiguang explain himself. Zhiguang had no choice but to confirm the facts again and again, then he said "Amitabha" and began to recount the events of that year.

As Master Zhiguang spoke, the reasons behind the Beggars' Gang's Xingzilin Conference gradually came to light.

More than 30 years ago, the Liao Dynasty had not yet been destroyed. Well, it has not yet been destroyed now. It was just driven to the west by the Yuan people. Yelu Dashi of the Liao Dynasty rebuilt the Liao Dynasty in the west, and it was called Western Liao.

Xiao Yuanshan, a descendant of the Xiao clan, a descendant of the Liao dynasty, began training in martial arts from a young age under a Han Chinese master. He possessed a natural talent for martial arts, rapidly advancing to an incredible level of proficiency. Later, he was appointed Chief Instructor of the Liao Empress's personal tent, earning the Empress Dowager Xiao's admiration. Dedicated to maintaining friendly relations between the Song and Liao dynasties and jointly resisting the Jin and Yuan dynasties, he frequently dissuaded the Liao emperor from resorting to war, earning him the deep affection of the people of both countries.

Once, Xiao Yuanshan, along with his wife and son, was returning to Yanmen Pass to visit his family. Murong Bo falsely accused him of attempting to steal martial arts manuals from Shaolin Temple, leading to an ambush by twenty-one martial arts masters from the Central Plains. When Xiao Yuanshan first became a disciple, he had vowed to his master never to kill Han Chinese. However, his wife was murdered without cause. Furious, Xiao Yuanshan slaughtered all seventeen of the masters, save for Xuanci, Wang Jiantong, Zhao Qiansun, and Zhiguang. Heartbroken by his wife's murder, Xiao Yuanshan broke his vow and ultimately committed suicide by jumping off a cliff, leaving behind an orphan, Xiao Feng.

After Xiao Yuanshan jumped off the cliff, Xuan Ci and Wang Jiantong knew that they might have killed the wrong person. However, the mistake had already been made and it was too late to realize it now. So they took Xiao Feng back to Shaolin Temple and gave him to a farmer named Qiao to raise, and named him Qiao Feng.

Master Zhiguang did not reveal Xuanci's identity, but simply referred to him as the "leader." As Master Zhiguang finished describing his life story, Qiao Feng was struck by a bolt from the blue: he wasn't Han Chinese?

Qiao Feng shouted, "No, no! You're talking nonsense, fabricating this nonsense to frame me. I'm a Han Chinese, how could I be a Khitan barbarian? I... I... Lord Sanhuai is my biological father, if you keep talking nonsense..."

Qiao Feng's eyes were wide open as he grabbed Zhiguang by the collar. Shan Zheng and Elder Xu went forward to rescue him, but Qiao Feng was extremely agile and dodged with Zhiguang's body in a flash.

Chen Liu watched the drama of Qiao Feng's identity being revealed with great gusto, without giving it much thought. However, Wang Yuyan, Huang Rong, and the others all wanted to know what was going on, but Chen Liu didn't want to know, and neither did they. Huang Rong rolled her eyes and whispered, "Brother Chen Liu, what do you think?"

"Stand and watch."

Huang Rong:......

Wang Yuyan: ...

Chen Liu chuckled and whispered, "Qiao Feng is undoubtedly a Khitan. I believe Master Zhiguang would not lie."

Huang Rong rolled her eyes. "Is that what I want to hear? I want to hear the inside story!"

"Are those people so stupid? They actually believe that the Khitans would go to Shaolin Temple to steal martial arts secrets?" Wang Yuyan also asked in a low voice.

"Those people are just stupid." Chen Liu curled his lips slightly.

[Besides being stupid, this was also Murong Bo's conspiracy. Xuanci was on good terms with Murong Bo and believed his words. Unfortunately, Xuanci didn't know that Murong Bo was trying to provoke a war between Song and Liao, so that the Murong family could reap the benefits and restore their country through the chaos of the war.]

Wang Yuyan: ...

Ah Zhu and Ah Bi: ...

Okay, the Murong family is finished.

There are more than just a few people who can hear Chen Liu's inner thoughts. There is also Wuqing from the Shenhou Mansion. After she knows it, how can she not investigate the Murong family?

Wuqing was genuinely shocked upon hearing this. Murong Bo? Wasn't this the previous head of the Gusu Murong family? The Murongs were trying to restore their kingdom? Oh, yes, the Murongs had indeed been emperors of the Xianbei people and had founded the Yan Kingdom. But the Yan Kingdom had been destroyed for centuries, so why were they still thinking of restoring it? It seemed they had to investigate.

After Qiao Feng's identity was confirmed as a Khitan, a clear female voice rang out, "My dear uncles, it's difficult to say for sure who murdered my late husband. But I know he was always honest and sincere, not good at speaking, and had no enemies in the martial arts world. I simply cannot imagine why anyone would want to take his life. As the saying goes, 'Hidden possessions encourage thieves.' Could it be that my late husband held something valuable that others would be eager to obtain? Were they afraid he would leak secrets and ruin the cause, and so they wanted to silence him?"

Everyone looked and saw that it was Kang Min who was speaking. The meaning of her words was clear. She directly pointed out that the murderer of Ma Dayuan was Qiao Feng, and his intention in committing the crime was to cover up the evidence that he was a Khitan.

Chapter 115 How many times have you slept?

"Mrs. Ma, I have a question in my mind. Can I ask you a question?" A soft voice sounded. Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and saw Wuqing sitting in a wheelchair.

Chen Liu was somewhat surprised, thinking to himself, "In the original novel, it was Ah Zhu who asked this question, but at the time, she was trying to prove Murong Fu's innocence. Ah Zhu and Murong Fu were no longer related, so naturally she wouldn't ask. Unexpectedly, Wuqing would be the one to ask. It seems everything is orchestrated by Heaven!"

Wang Yuyan and Huang Rong and other girls rolled their eyes secretly. What the hell is heaven? Isn’t this your fault?

Kang Min asked, "Miss, what do you want to ask me?"

Wuqing said, "I heard from Madam Ma that Senior Ma's suicide note was sealed with wax. When Elder Xu opened it, the seal was still intact. So no one had read the contents of the letter before Elder Xu opened it?"

Kang Min said: "Not bad."

Wuqing nodded and said, "Since no one except Senior Ma knew about the leader's letter and Gang Leader Wang's will, then the allegations of concealing the truth, encouraging thieves, and killing people to silence them cannot be made."

When everyone heard this, they felt that Wuqing's words made sense.

Kang Min asked, "Who is this girl? Why are you interfering in my gang's affairs?"

Wuqing said: "I am from the Divine Marquis Mansion."

Kang Min was startled, nodded, and said, "I see."

Kang Min turned to look at Bai Shijing, the Beggar Gang's law enforcement elder, and said, "Elder Bai, our gang's rules are as strong as a mountain. If an elder breaks the rules, how will we deal with him?"

The muscles on Bai Shijing's face twitched slightly, and he said righteously, "Knowing the law and breaking it is an even greater crime."

Kang Min asked, "What if it's someone with a higher status than you, Elder Bai?"

Bai Shijing knew that Kang Min was referring to Qiao Feng. He had originally been reluctant to betray Qiao Feng, but he had been seduced by Kang Min's beauty and lost control. He even killed Ma Dayuan on her orders. Now he was in a difficult situation and could only follow Kang Min's wishes. He said, "The rules of our gang were set by our ancestors. Regardless of seniority or rank, they must be strictly followed. The same rewards for the same merits and the same punishments for the same crimes."

Kang Min said, "That young lady from the Divine Marquis's Mansion was incredibly suspicious. I thought so too at first. But the night before I received the news of my late husband's death, someone broke into my house and robbed me. The thief used some vile incense to knock me and two of my servants unconscious, then ransacked our house and stole about ten taels of silver. The next day, I received the tragic news of my late husband's misfortune. How could I have cared less about the thief stealing the silver? Fortunately, my ancestors hid this suicide note in a very secret place, so the thieves didn't find it and destroy it."

Kang Min's meaning was clear: Qiao Feng's theft of the book from Ma Dayuan's home clearly referred to him. Since he had gone there to steal the book, he must have known the contents of the suicide note, which he then murdered to silence them. As for how he knew this, perhaps the leader, or perhaps Gang Leader Wang or Deputy Gang Leader Ma, had accidentally leaked it.

Kang Min continued, "I found something at the foot of the window where the thief entered and exited the house. It turned out that the thief had dropped it when he came in and out. When I saw it, I was terrified. I realized that this matter was of great importance."

Elder Song asked, "What is that thing? Why is it so important?"

Kang Min took out an object about eight or nine inches long from the bag on his back, handed it to Elder Xu, and said, "Please let the uncles make the decision."

When Elder Xu took the object, Kang Min fell to the ground and burst into tears.

[Ouch! What a pitiful sight! Kang Min is really trying to torture Qiao Feng to death!]

Wuqing pursed his lips.

Kang Min took out a folding fan. Elder Xu unfolded it and recited a poem on it: "Northern snow drifts open the Yanmen Pass, the flat sands are tangled and tumbled, and the roots of the weeds are tangled; fame and honor are shameful to count the number of people captured, I will directly kill Loulan to repay the country's kindness."

When Qiao Feng heard this poem, he was stunned. This fan belonged to him, the poem was written by his mentor, Wang Jiantong, and the painting on the fan was by Elder Xu. This fan had been given to him by his mentor, Wang Jiantong, on his twenty-fifth birthday. Qiao Feng had always treasured it and carefully preserved it. How could it have ended up in Ma Dayuan's house? Besides, he was a carefree person and would never carry anything like a folding fan.

Elder Xu flipped the fan over, looked at the picture, sighed, and murmured, "Those who are not of my kind must have different hearts. Boss Wang, Boss Wang, you have made a huge mistake in this matter."

[Old man, how many times has Kang Min slept with you? Why is he so hardworking?]

Wuqing raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled: "That's not necessarily true!"

"What do you mean, young lady?" Elder Xu turned and looked at Wuqing after hearing this.

Wuqing said, "When we at the Divine Marquisate received the news from the Beggars' Sect, we immediately launched an investigation into Senior Ma's death..."

Leng Xue, who was helping Wu Qing push his wheelchair, looked at him in surprise. "Did our Divine Marquisate investigate? How come I didn't know about it?"

Wuqing paused, then turned to look at Bai Shijing and said, "Elder Bai, why don't you tell us who killed Senior Ma?"

Bai Shijing's face turned pale with fright, and he quickly denied it, "How would I know who killed Senior Ma? No, it was Deputy Gang Leader Ma. I don't know what you mean."

"How about you, Madam Ma, tell me?" Wuqing turned to look at Kang Min, "Who killed Senior Ma?"

"Miss, I don't understand what you mean." Kang Min was already a little panicked when she asked Bai Shijing Wuqing, but now that things had come to this, she could only hold on.

"Don't you understand?" Wuqing turned around and stared at Quan Guanqing, saying, "Quan Guanqing, how many times have you slept with Madam Ma? Five times? Or six times?"

"How could there be so many times? Only two..." Quan Guanqing froze.

The faces of the people at the scene became strange.

"Elder Bai, how many times have you slept with Madam Ma?" Wuqing looked at Bai Shijing again.

"I, I..." Bai Shijing became even more panicked. He thought that their affair had been discovered by the Shenhou Mansion. His hands and feet became weak and he collapsed to the ground.

Seeing Bai Shijing collapsed on the ground, the beggars and the invited jianghu figures knew there was something fishy going on with Ma Dayuan's murder. It was even possible that Bai Shijing, Kang Min, and Quan Guanqing had collaborated in the killing, and their faces turned strange. The beggars looked at Quan Guanqing and Bai Shijing with a hint of hatred and envy in their eyes: "Great, so it was you two who slept with Kang Min, killed Ma Dayuan, and now you're slandering our leader."

At this time, Qiao Feng was stunned, and Kang Min was also stunned.

Chen Liu was also stunned.

[Damn, this Divine Marquis Mansion is quite capable, they can even figure out things like this.]

Huang Rong:......

Wang Yuyan: ...

Azhu, Abi and other girls: ...

Wuqing glanced at Chen Liu out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help feeling secretly happy.

Lengxue looked at Wuqing with an even weirder look. When did they find out about this?

"Elder Xu..." Wuqing looked at Elder Xu again.

"I didn't sleep, I didn't sleep." Elder Xu also denied it hurriedly and panicked.

Beggars: ...

Chapter 116: The Divine Marquisate, So Terrifying

"Elder Bai, who exactly killed Senior Ma? Do you want to tell me, or should I?"

"Let me tell you." If anyone else had asked, perhaps Bai Shijing wouldn't have collapsed like this, but the person asking him was Wuqing from the Divine Marquisate. The Divine Marquisate's Four Famous Constables were also well-known in the Song Dynasty, having solved countless major cases. Wuqing's question had Bai Shijing assuming that the Divine Marquisate had discovered his affair with Kang Min. His defenses were broken, and he became completely listless. Now, there was nothing left to hide. He said darkly, "Brother Ma, it was Madam Ma who forced me to kill her. I couldn't resist her seduction. I deserved to die..."

"Bai Shijing, you bastard, why didn't you tell me I seduced you when you slept with me?" Kang Min's defenses were broken. Bai Shijing had confessed everything. Seeing that she could no longer hide it, she cursed loudly. After scolding Bai Shijing, she turned to look at Quan Guanqing and continued to curse: "And you, Quan Guanqing, you useless bastard, if you hadn't let the cat out of the bag, how could this matter have been leaked? With your IQ, you want to be the gang leader, bah!"

"Old fellow, do you think you're a good person?" Kang Min turned to the somewhat guilty Elder Xu and cursed, "Seeing me, you're like a cat to the smell of fish. I asked you to gather the gang to kill Qiao Feng, but you kept shirking your responsibility and refused until you had my body."

"I didn't! I didn't! You are talking nonsense and slandering me." Elder Xu was also panicked and quickly denied it.

"Amitabha!" Master Zhiguang did not expect to see such a drama today, but this was not what he wanted to see. The reputation of the Beggars' Sect was ruined by Bai Shijing, Quan Guanqing and Elder Xu.

Shan Zheng looked at Elder Xu, then at Kang Min who was cursing loudly, his face full of contempt, but his eyes showed a hint of envy. He thought to himself: That old man must have tampered with the seal of the letter, but he lured me into the game. Bah, you bastards, even at this old age you couldn't resist the temptation of a woman, why didn't you die in Kang Min's bed?

Ma Yu also chanted "Wulian Tianzun" and closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to see the ugly deeds of the elders and the leader of the Beggar Gang. But what he was thinking in his heart, only he knew.

The rest of the people also had different thoughts. Some despised it, some envied it, some gloated over its misfortune, and some were heartbroken. Everyone's posture and mood were different.

Kang Min had given up and turned to look at the other elders of the Beggars' Sect, sneering in his heart, "I'm done, and you guys can't have an easy time either." When the elders of the Beggars' Sect saw Kang Min trying to make random accusations, their faces suddenly changed. Although they wanted to do it, they had never done it, and others might not believe it!

"Take him away." Hong Qigong rushed forward with a gloomy expression, pressed Kang Min's mute point and acupuncture points, and ordered the law enforcement disciples of the Beggars' Sect to take Kang Min away. If Kang Min continued to bite, the reputation of the Beggars' Sect would be ruined. Well! Now the situation is not getting any better. Several important figures in the gang have slept with Kang Min, and they also killed Ma Dayuan. With so many underworld figures present, it is impossible to conceal it. This is a disgrace to the underworld. And this matter was discovered by the Divine Marquis Mansion. It is really embarrassing.

[The Divine Marquis Mansion is so terrifying! ]

Chen Liu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

[It's best not to have any contact with a Divine Marquisate like this, lest they find out I'm a time traveler and send experts to capture me, and I'll be doomed.]
