Chapter 14 014

Several major events happened in Bianjing in March.

Two of them were related to the Six Gates.

One was that one of the four famous detectives had a new position.

Last year, Lianyun Village was wrongly accused of being a bandit, and the imperial court sent troops to suppress the bandits, but in the end they were proven innocent and were recruited to rectify their names. It seemed that everything had been settled.

But since this incident, Tie Youxia, the Iron Hand among the four famous detectives, was confused about the relationship between the head of the detective and the bandits. While Lianyun Village was about to be rebuilt, he simply asked for his resignation from Zhuge Shenhou.

According to the sayings in the teahouses and taverns in the capital, it was a head of the detective who had a bright future who became the leader of the bandits.

If Lianyun Village had not had a background after the recruitment, it could not be simply defined as a bandit, and the disturbance in the capital would have been even greater.

But what was even more strange was that Qi Shaoshang, who was once the leader of Lianyun Village, went to the Six Gates to do business and exchanged positions with Tie Youxia.

The first thing he supervised after taking office was to go to the door of Prime Minister Fu Zongshu together with Wuqing, the chief constable.

That was the second thing.

In the bloody case of Lianyun Village, many village chiefs died, and Qi Shaoshang himself also lost an arm, mostly because of Fu Zongshu's order.

But Prime Minister Fu always knew how to make choices. Before the matter got to him, he had "killed his relatives for the sake of justice" and sent all the "culprits" who attacked Lianyun Village to justice, even his adopted son Gu Xichao was no exception.

In this way, he has successfully escaped from this matter.

So when Wuqing and Qi Shaoshang came to the door, Prime Minister Fu did not forget to mock for a while, saying that Qi Shaoshang did not look like a constable even in new clothes.

Who knew that the other party was not here to settle the old account with him, but to ask him for someone.

Or two people who set up a martial arts competition to recruit a bride in Bianjing City.

Fu Zongshu's expression at that time was as if he had something stuck in his throat, as if he had fought in public and his sword had hit nothing.

But what he didn't expect was yet to come.

When the father and daughter of the Mu family were about to be sent out of the house, they ran into his wife.

When the two sides met, the chivalrous man who called himself Mu Yi suddenly changed his face and claimed that the prime minister's wife was his former wife, and they were separated because of the war.

If he was the only one who was enthusiastic, it would be fine.

Mrs. Bao, who had been pampered for many years, also immediately recognized that it was indeed her husband Yang Tiexin, whom she thought had passed away.

She did not forget how deeply she and her husband loved each other. When she saw her late husband return, Mrs. Bao did not want to be the prime minister's wife anymore. She only wanted to take her son Fu Kang, or should be called Yang Kang, and leave with her husband Yang Tiexin.

If this recognition drama only happened in the prime minister's residence, Fu Zongshu's power and position, as well as his own outstanding martial arts attainments, would be enough to stop the people.

However, the one who came to the door today to ask for people, was Wuqing, the chief constable who always did things fairly.

This recognition of relatives fell on the side of the Six Gates in the form of a public case.

Whether it was Mrs. Bao Xiruo, who was supposed to be a member of the prime minister's residence, or Yang Kang, who suddenly encountered a huge change in his identity, as well as Yang Tiexin and Mu Nianci, father and daughter, were all taken away by Wuqing.

According to the statement released by the Six Gates, after the old case of the separation of Yang Tiexin and Bao Xiruo was investigated, the two parties would calm down from the sudden reunion, and then re-evaluate the belonging.

Of course, before this, Yang Kang kidnapped Yang Tiexin and Mu Nianci into the mansion, which was a prior offense according to the laws of Bianjing, and he had to be brought to justice first.

The details were not fully disclosed among the people of Bianjing, but the fact that [the ruthless chief constable came to the door, and Prime Minister Fu lost his beloved wife and son] was enough to make people excited.

If Fu Zongshu could not only recognize his wife and son in the end, he would have lost two sons in succession because of his ruthlessness.

It is said that in his early years before he became the prime minister, in order to create the illusion of being clean, he had few concubines in his mansion, and only left two children, who did not live to adulthood.

Although Fu Kang was not his biological son, he had been raised by him since birth. To him, he was no different from his biological son. He even treated him as his own son and was much more important to him than his adopted son Gu Xichao.

Not to mention -

he was already the prime minister, why should he return his wife and children to a powerless wanderer!

...

"What does Madam Shi think of all this excitement?"

Shi Qingruo just retracted her gaze towards the outside of Sanhe Building when she heard Su Mengzhen's question.

At least in the eyes of the outside world, the Mi Tian League and the Jin Feng Xi Yu Building, even if they are not hostile, can only be regarded as non-interference. Therefore, this invitation to meet again cannot be held in the Jin Feng Xi Yu Building on Tianquan Mountain, or in the Mi Tian League's reactivated base.

The final meeting place was Sanhe Building, which was attacked by thieves along the way during the previous wedding.

After a simple repair, it is not easy to see the previous damage here.

The more important reason for choosing this place is that this is the territory of the Mi Tian League.

According to Shi Qingruo's meaning, she, a weak woman who does not know martial arts, dared to suddenly initiate this invitation. The owner of the Su Building is famous for the Red Sleeve Knife, so he would not be afraid of her doing anything.

"What do you think..." Shi Qingruo's eyes were dazed for a moment, and then he continued, "People with morals will always make themselves more miserable, right?"

Su Mengzhen asked, "Are you talking about Tie Shou?"

"Yes and no." Shi Qingruo sneered, "Isn't it the same in Bianjing City, and even in the martial arts world? People with moral integrity are suffering from the collapse of the world, and even feel that they have not fulfilled their obligations as human beings and knights. They want to find a way out but feel that they are surrounded by gloom. However, people without morals are still unrestrained. They only need to abandon a few abandoned children to enjoy the glory. Master Su, do you think this is the truth?"

Su Mengzhen did not answer immediately.

Shi Qingruo was indeed talking about more than just Tie Shou.

If we count the news that Zhu Xiaoyao told him, there should also be Fang Yingkan and... and Xue Xishen from his Jinfengxiyu Tower.

Su Mengzhen sighed solemnly, "After the incident in Bianjing is resolved, I will give an explanation to Hubei."

Shi Qingruo did not comment, but said indifferently, "Master Su said to give an explanation to Hubei, not to me. This is very good."

As for why it was the incident in Bianjing and not now, there is no need to ask more.

Xue Xishen is one of the five great gods in Jinfengxiyu Tower. Not only does he have a transcendent status in the tower, but his ability to do things is also far superior to many of Su Mengzhen's subordinates.

Now is the time for all parties to play a game. Settling accounts with Xue Xishen for what he did that day will only cause internal strife in the tower, and he may even be bitten back by Liufenbantang. It is indeed not the time to punish him.

Shi Qingruo did not come here today to talk about this. "I think that Master Su agreed to come here after receiving my invitation, and he should not just want to ask me what I think about that matter."

Su Mengzhen's eyes were fixed. Although it was only a short time since the last meeting, his complexion was much worse than last time. However, when he looked up at people, no one would doubt that he would collapse because of his illness. "You do too many things."

On that day, he was willing to trust Shi Qingruo's ability and let her dispatch the people that Jinfengxiyu Tower had planted in Mitian League. Then he would not interfere in major events.

Don't employ people you doubt, and don't doubt people you employ -

Jinfengxiyu Tower was able to rise in Bianjing, and it has the most say in this sentence.

Even if Shi Qingruo's identity is the wife of the Holy Lord of Mitian League, she will not be an exception.

But it does not mean that at a critical time, when he feels that his teammates are falling behind, he will not speak up and remind them.

"You want to formally join forces with the Golden Wind and Rain Tower, and it is far from enough to rely on what you have done recently. I can only see that you have the idea of gathering your subordinates to make your work smoother. I can see that you understand what it means to use the power of others to fight against the power of others, and let the ruthless chief constable do things for you, but whether it is the family affairs of Fu Zongshu's house or the muddy water on the other side of Fang Yingkan, they are not the top priority."

He said it very directly and refreshingly, and Shi Qingruo also replied decisively: "But Master Su can't deny that I have indeed obtained a few available talents recently."

The information of Wang Xiaoshi and Bai Choufei must have been sent to Su Mengzhen at the same time as it was sent to Zhu Xiaoyao and her from the Bai Tower. If Shi Qingruo hadn't recruited them first, these two people could also be good helpers for Su Mengzhen.

Because the matter of Yang Tiexin and his daughter was temporarily transferred to the Six Gates, Huang Rong and Guo Jing also stayed in the Misty Heaven Alliance for the time being. Although it can't be considered her help, Shi Qingruo has the confidence that sooner or later she will be able to win over these two young people who have just started to make their debut.

As for Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing...the fact

that they could come to escort her during today's meeting already represented an attitude.

"Too slow, I don't have so much time." Su Mengzhen coughed heavily while speaking.

If ordinary people coughed with their hands, they could still maintain their dignity.

But Su Mengzhen was different.

His violent cough was like an invisible thread that connected his throat and lungs. When the nerves on his face trembled, the intense pain in his lungs pulled every muscle and bone in his body torment.

Even the hand he placed on the table was completely bloodless due to the force of his knuckles. It even made people wonder if he would cough out his internal organs in this cough.

Perhaps the only thing worth praising was...

he just didn't cough up blood.

He calmed down, carefully folded the handkerchief and put it back in his sleeves, and then repeated: "I don't have so much time."

For a patient, time is the most luxurious thing.

From another perspective, Lei Sun would not give Mi Tian League so much time to reorganize and recruit new members. Once Mi Tian League showed its vigorous momentum to the outside world, Lei Sun would definitely take action at the fastest speed.

Shi Qingruo knew this very well, but in the face of this question, she shook her head first: "If your time was really short to this extent, you would not have met Di Feijing a few days ago."

Su Mengzhen showed a bit of surprise on his face.

He did go to see Di Feijing a few days ago, who was the most capable subordinate of Lei Sun, the head of the Six and a Half Hall.

Di Feijing, the head of the Six and a Half Hall.

This news was not concealed from the outside world in Beijing, so he was not surprised that Shi Qingruo knew about it, but her thoughts on it.

Shi Qingruo continued: "If you really have little time left, you won't have the leisure to figure out what kind of person Di Feijing is. The rumors in the martial arts world are enough to make you know that this person knows how to judge talents and see the situation clearly. If your body is not good enough to successfully transmit certain signals to him, or even mislead him, you should hit the target with one strike, instead of taking people to eliminate the base of Liufenbantang on Qionghua Island first, and then take this victory to negotiate with others."

Su Mengzhen was stunned, and after a while, he continued to speak. "Madam Shi... You know me better than I thought."

Shi Qingruo's eyes were not sharp, and even somewhat similar to Di Feijing. When looking at people, there was a gentle and clear taste.

But perhaps, compared to Di Feijing, Shi Qingruo's eyes were even softer, and he didn't look at people and things a little bit.

But the owner of such a pair of eyes, who had only been in Bianjing for a few months, was like an old friend who had known him for many years, and pointed out his condition incisively.

It was hard not to remind him of the illusion he had when he saw Shi Qingruo before.

It seemed that it was not the first time he saw her.

Shi Qingruo's voice pulled him back from his fleeting trance: "No, I don't understand you. At least I don't know, when a person has several terminal illnesses all over his body, and many diseases that don't even have names, why can he still live in this world, and even live better than most people. I don't think this can simply be described as a miracle."

Su Mengzhen replied calmly: "Because Jinfengxiyu Tower has not fallen, and I am Jinfengxiyu Tower."

These unusually firm and strong words only passed through Su Mengzhen's mouth once, and he changed the subject: "Forget it, now is not the time to talk about this. Since you know what kind of person I am, you should be more clear about my expectations for this cooperation."

"That's right, but whether the action is slow or not is not enough to just look at the current performance." Shi Qingruo raised his lips and smiled, "Besides, I came to see you today because I had a plan and wanted to discuss it with you."

Su Mengzhen nodded, motioning Shi Qingruo to continue.

However, perhaps he himself did not realize that when he made this move, he had already handed over some of the initiative to Shi Qingruo.

To be more precise, when Shi Qingruo took the lead in questioning her slow and complicated actions, she had already completed a step of replacement between the host and the guest.

"Speaking of which, this plan was only brought to my mind by my previous night visit to the Shentong Marquis's mansion, so it is not a waste of effort." Shi Qingruo's smile became even more intense, as if she still wanted to get back some ground for this trivial matter.

Su Mengzhen felt helpless about this, and just listened to her calmly.

"Although I heard about this incident by accident before entering Bian Jing, and I cannot tell you the source of the news, Master Su does not have to worry about whether what I am going to say next is true or false."

"Lei Sun will not easily let go of a piece of fat meat that should have been in his hands, and the people lurking around the Shentong Hou Mansion will not only be the jumping clowns who have just arrived at the mansion. I know very well what kind of ending I will face if I take a wrong step. But if it is executed successfully, maybe both parties can be caught in one fell swoop." "

If my plan can be summed up in one sentence, it should be called--"

She said word by word: "Put yourself in a desperate situation and then survive."

Su Mengzhen raised an eyebrow, staring at the face in front of him that looked even more peerless because of her strategizing. She did not question her calculations, but asked: "Is your place of death or mine?"

Shi Qingruo stretched out her hand and pointed: "Me."
