Chapter 132

In the evening, Zhang Xiaohua finally ate the rabbit meat that she had been yearning for day and night. However, it was not braised.

Although Zhang Xiaohua was born in a poor family and had been helping out at home since he was young, he was still a boy after all. The work he had done was in the fields. The work on the stove was still relatively unfamiliar to him. The closest thing he had done was to fetch spring water from the stove at home.

Therefore, although she wanted to braise it, she simply peeled the rabbit's skin and learned from her father's way of handling chickens. She simply cleaned the rabbit and put it in the pot to cook. When the water boiled and the meat was cooked, although there was no seasoning, it still smelled fragrant. Zhang Xiaohua could not help but feel hungry.

Then, Zhang Xiaohua closed her eyes and silently muttered in her heart, "I'm eating braised rabbit meat, I'm eating braised rabbit meat."

Then, she was not afraid of the heat. She fished out the whole rabbit from the pot and chewed happily. Her mouth was full of oil. She was very happy!

Until Zhang Xiaohua ate up the whole rabbit meat and licked the bare bones reluctantly, she threw the bones into the river in front of her. However, in the winter, the river that used to run in the past had already frozen. With a "crack", the bones were thrown on the ice. It was impossible to destroy the evidence of the crime of eating meat. However, she was the fish meat, and she was the knife. Why should she be afraid?

The law of the jungle was still applicable in Jianghu.

Not to mention that Zhang Xiaohua, who had satisfied her craving for good food, was caressing her round belly while holding a small stick. She was leisurely licking her teeth and looking at the night sky that was still snowing heavily. She was secretly trying to figure out the essence of "suddenly looking back at it in the waning light". In the conference hall of the Misty School in the far north, Ou Peng was gathering several brothers in the school to find the "bones" that had been thrown out.

It was not snowing in the Misty Mountain Villa, but the clouds were still dense and the cold wind was whimpering. Although the door of the conference hall was blocked by a thick curtain, it was still difficult to prevent the cold from entering. However, at this time, the atmosphere in the conference hall was unusually cold, making people feel that it was even colder than outside.

At the front of the meeting hall, Grand Gang Leader Ou Peng was sitting in his usual position with a gloomy face. The flickering light cast a shadow across his face from time to time, making him look even more ferocious. Perhaps it was at this moment that the majesty of a superior was fully displayed.

At this time, everyone in the conference hall was silent. No one dared to make a sound... After a long while, Ou Peng coughed and asked gently, "Senior Brother, how is Yan 'er's body?"

Big Boss Hu, who usually looked very inconspicuous, also had a straight face as he said, "Yan 'er's body is already weak. At night when she went out, she was drenched in the heavy rain and has already caught a cold. In addition, she was affected by the wind from the black-robed elder's palm and injured her internal organs. This illness and injury are quite serious.

I heard from Hall Master Qin that she had already fainted on the way. After she woke up, she found a doctor along the way to treat her. After Second Brother rushed over, he also used his internal energy to treat Yan 'er's injuries. After taking the medicine from the sect, she was already much better when she came back. Now, the doctor in the sect has already seen her and we have also invited a doctor from Ping Yang City to treat her. Now, there is no major problem.

After a short rest, she should be able to recover. "Hearing that Ou Yan's body had recovered, Ou Peng's expression became slightly more restrained. He said to Big Boss Hu," Senior Brother, I'm a little busy here during this period. Please pay more attention and take care of Yan 'er's matters. "

Big Boss Hu nodded and said, "Yan 'er is our precious treasure. You can rest assured. Now that she is in our territory, I won't let her suffer the slightest grievance."

Ou Peng nodded and asked Hall Master Liu Yuzhou of the Law Enforcement Hall, "How's the investigation of the background of the black-robed men?"

Liu Yuzhou hesitated for a moment and said, "After I received Sect Master's instructions, I immediately led my subordinates to investigate this matter personally. I know that Eldest Miss and her group prioritize stability on their return journey. I'm afraid that it will take too long. Although the weather has turned cold, the corpses of the black-robed men will also rot. Therefore, I went ahead to receive Eldest Miss in advance.

I have personally checked the corpses of the black-robed men. I have also seen the features of their faces and bodies. I have also asked my subordinates to record them and prepare a record. However, among these people, the black-robed old man's face has been disfigured and I can't tell who he is. As for the others, they are all mediocre people. Although I have already drawn their faces and handed them to my disciples to secretly pay attention to them, it is not easy to find out the background of these people in the vast sea of people. "

Ou Peng said angrily, "Find them. We must find them. Although it is difficult, it does not mean that it is impossible. As long as there is a trace of possibility, we must find out who is behind them."

Liu Yuzhou hurriedly bowed and replied, "I will follow Sect Master's instructions."

Ou Peng calmed his emotions and then asked, "Are there any other clues?"

Liu Yuzhou shook his head and said, "These black-robed men's clothes and weapons are all extremely common items. They are very common in the jianghu. I was unable to find any valuable clues.

Moreover, they did not carry anything with them at all. Even the cleverest housewife cannot cook a meal without rice. I was unable to find anything useful. "

Ou Peng snorted through his nose and said, "Don't tell me you have no clue at all?"

Liu Yuzhou said in a low voice, "Your subordinate is incompetent. For the time being, I was unable to find any other clues."

Then, he opened his mouth and looked like he wanted to say something but stopped.

Ou Peng could not help but frown and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. You now have a great responsibility. You must find out who is behind this. Our Misty School is not a side school that can be bullied by others."

Liu Yuzhou hurriedly bowed and said, "Your subordinate has more or less understood the situation at that time from the subordinates of Huan Xi Manor and the female disciples of Mingcui Hall. However, I would like to know more about it. Hall Master Qin and Shi Niu have been kept by Sect Master for the past few days. Your subordinate has not had the opportunity to find them. Do you think we should let them describe the situation at that time again today? It just so happens that all the Elders are here.

Ou Peng nodded and said, "That would be good. I have also heard some things and felt that there was something fishy. Today we will let them explain it properly and all of you can give us some advice.

Shi Niu, tell us the specific situation from beginning to end. "

Shi Niu rubbed his bald head and said, "Sect Master, do you want to tell us everything?"

Ou Peng glared at him and said, "Nonsense, tell us everything."

Shi Niu thought for a moment and then said, "That day I drove the carriage, carrying Manor Lord Ou and Hall Master Qin out of Huan Xi Manor's gate … Later, I felt refreshed and could not help but sing a little tune. At first they praised me, but as I sang, they did not like it. However, Sect Master, the heavens have pity on me. I only know this song. If you want me to sing something else, I can't sing it."

Everyone listened and looked at each other in dismay. What was this? Liu Qingyang almost spat out the wine in her mouth. Then, everyone could not help but cover their mouth and laugh.

Ou Peng also did not know whether to laugh or cry. He waved his hand and said, "Shi Niu, tell us the important things."

Shi Niu frowned and said, "Sect Master, didn't you want me to tell you everything?"

Ou Peng spat, "You have to tell me everything, but you also have to tell me everything that happened before and after the Manor Lord was attacked. When you drove out, the men in black were still nowhere to be seen. What's there to say?

Also, what does your singing have to do with the attack? "

Shi Niu replied with grievance, "How would I know what is related to the black clothed men? Maybe they were jealous because I sang well?

Maybe when I drove out, the black clothed men knew. "

Ou Peng rolled his eyes and nodded. "That makes sense. Liu Yuzhou, do you understand?" Ou Peng nodded and said, "That's right.

Liu Yuzhou nodded and said, "This subordinate understands."

Shi Niu asked in surprise, "Hall Master Liu, what do you understand?

Why don't I understand? "

Ou Peng waved his hand and said, "It's none of your business. Just tell me."

Shi Niu asked patiently, "Then, do you still want to tell me everything?"

Ou Peng thought for a moment and said, "Just tell me everything."

Shi Niu asked again, "Do you really want to tell me everything?"

Ou Peng said angrily, "Just tell me. Don't talk so much nonsense. Even if you go to the toilet, you still have to tell me."

Shi Niu's face turned red. He hesitated and said, "This, this need not be said."

Ou Peng gritted his teeth and was about to go berserk.

Shi Niu saw this and hurriedly told the truth.

Although Shi Niu was a careless and impetuous man, he talked about the things that happened along the way in detail. He spoke slowly and seemed to be very serious.

When he said that every place along the way, there was a youth called Zhang Xiaohua who went out to find a place to practice martial arts, Ou Peng couldn't help but frown. He looked suspiciously at Aunt Qin and said, "This youth called Zhang Xiaohua, why does his name sound so familiar?"

Before Ou Peng's voice fell, Liu Yuzhou immediately stood up and said anxiously, "Hall Master Qin, this youth goes out every day. Didn't you follow him?

It's very likely that he's a mole for the black clothed men. Where is this person now?

I have to catch him and interrogate him. "

Shi Niu, who was talking heartily, naturally didn't dare to say anything after being interrupted by Ou Peng. But when he heard Liu Yuzhou's shout, he immediately became angry and said angrily, "How can you say that about Zhang Xiaohua? I can guarantee that Zhang Xiaohua is definitely not a mole for the black clothed men."

Liu Yuzhou said, "As long as he's a mole, he'll naturally hide it very well. How could he let you know?

Shi Niu, you're more careless so of course you wouldn't find out. Don't make a promise just because of personal feelings. "

At this time, a voice like an oriole's chirp sounded, "Hall Master Liu, I also have the same thoughts as Shi Niu. I'm willing to use my life to guarantee that this Zhang Xiaohua is definitely not a mole."

Liu Yuzhou didn't need to turn around to know that it was Aunt Qin who spoke. He frowned and said, "Hall Master Qin, now isn't the time to let your emotions affect your decisions. We're looking for clues and we have to be suspicious of any clues. It's better to mistakenly kill one than to let one go."

However, Aunt Qin was a bit anxious and said in one breath: "Alright then. Have you ever heard of a spy who reaches the end of his career will kill his own people? Have you ever heard of a spy who reaches the end of his career will sacrifice his own life to save the person he wants to kill, regardless of whether he knows martial arts or not?"

Liu Yuzhou was stunned and said in puzzlement, "Hall Master Qin, you don't need to be so agitated. Speaking of Zhang Xiaohua, why are you talking so much?"

Shi Niu interrupted him in a low, muffled voice and said, "Zhang Xiaohua was the one who blocked in front of Manor Head Ou and killed the black clothed old man."

Liu Yuzhou suddenly understood and stood up to apologize, "Hall Master Qin, please don't blame me. This one isn't clear about these things."

Aunt Qin took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Don't blame me, don't blame me. Hall Master Liu, this one is also a bit anxious.

Actually, when Zhang Xiaohua went out to practice his fist techniques, I also sent people to check on him. He was indeed practicing some messy fist techniques. I think he was afraid of being laughed at. I also asked He Tianshu of the Medicine Hall about this. "

Ou Peng heard this and also understood. He smiled and said, "Ah, that's right. I also remember this name when Yan 'er came back. She said that he saved her life. It seems that he was injured by the black clothed man and fell into the water. I don't know if he's been found yet."

Boss Hu continued, "He hasn't been found yet. I've already sent people to contact related forces to help find him."

Then, he hesitated for a moment and said, "However, we've already searched a few dozen miles downstream. There's no sign of him alive or dead. It's been almost a month. There's probably no hope of finding him anymore.

There's an eighty to ninety percent chance that he was killed on the spot by the black clothed old man. His corpse has already sunk into the river to feed the fish and turtles. "

Ou Peng nodded and said, "Ah, no matter what, he saved Yan 'er's life. We have to compensate him well."

Boss Hu agreed and said, "It's the New Year now. The sect is busy. It's not easy to inform him of this kind of thing now. Moreover, he has an older brother who is an armed escort at the Lotus Escort Agency. He's currently on a long escort mission. We'll talk about it when he comes back."

Ou Peng nodded silently and then motioned for Stone Ox to continue.

Stone Ox understood and glared fiercely at Liu Yuzhou. He continued with what he had just said and recounted everything that had happened along the way.

After listening to Stone Ox, Boss Hu spoke first and said, "The previous robbery should be consistent with our initial speculation. It's to test our power. Hall Master Qin is a famous figure in Jianghu. He must be clear about the details of his martial arts. Stone Ox is not famous in Jianghu, but he must be familiar with the gangs that are familiar with us or pay attention to us. The second competition and Stone Ox's competition on the rainy night are obviously two different situations.

I guess they didn't expect He Tianshu from the pharmacy hall. Although this young man's martial arts are not the best, he's an obstacle for them. They can't firmly suppress us with their strength, so they didn't really make a move during the robbery. "

Ou Peng continued Boss Hu's words and said, "So, they hurriedly found this black clothed old man with excellent martial arts and made a foolproof arrangement.

They let people with similar martial arts to Hall Master Qin stall Stone Ox and the others, and then let the black clothed old man capture or kill Yan 'er. Haha, good plan, good strategy. "

Boss Hu also smiled and said, "However, they didn't expect that our disciples would see through the clues and send reinforcements to rescue them."

Ou Peng also smiled and said, "Yes, this disciple called Lan Dong is very good. He's smart and careful. He went back to the school with the team. Let him hand over some things and choose another disciple to go down. Let him stay in the school and focus on training. He should be of great use."

Boss Hu said, "Yes, this time it's all thanks to Lan Dong. Without his news, we would still be in the dark. Second Brother and Fifth Brother wouldn't be able to arrive in time. It's only right to reward him."

At this time, Stone Ox opened his mouth and said, "Big Gang Leader, I think this time the one with the greatest martial arts should be Zhang Xiaohua. If he didn't kill the black clothed old man, not only the Manor Lord would be in trouble, even if Lan Dong and the others arrived, I'm afraid …"

Hearing this, Ou Peng nodded and said, "That's right. However, this person is already gone. It's useless to talk about martial arts. Zhang Xiaohua is also not a member of our Misty School. How do you want me to reward him?

It's better to give more compensation. "

Stone Ox scratched his head and said, "Anyway, as long as Big Gang Leader knows who has the most merit, I don't have any other opinions."

Liu Yuzhou opened his mouth again and said, "Gang Leader, from Stone Ox's description, I think it should be a gang that we're familiar with or a famous sect in Jianghu. We're familiar with their martial arts and manpower. Naturally, we can't use them. That's why we found people from other places who can't see the light of day to work for them. This is why we didn't have enough manpower during the night attack. Otherwise, with only Eldest Miss and the others, the black clothed men wouldn't have used any tricks or strategies.

Ou Peng smiled and said, "Hall Master Liu is right. Since you've explained it this way, you naturally have a plan. I'll leave the investigation to you. I hope you'll be able to find out the truth soon."

Liu Yuzhou's face turned bitter and said, "Okay, I'll do my best."

Then, Ou Peng looked at Stone Ox and Aunt Qin and said, "Hall Master Qin, Stone Ox, you've worked hard before. However, you didn't analyze the situation on the way and there were flaws in your plans. Tell me, how should you be punished?"

Aunt Qin smiled bitterly and said, "Gang Leader is right. I've been careless. If I'd paid more attention, I would've found something fishy long ago. We wouldn't have ended up in an irreversible situation.

I'm willing to accept my punishment. "

Stone Ox scratched his head and said, "Big Gang Leader, I know I'm wrong and I'm willing to accept my punishment. However, you can punish me however you want, but please don't punish me by not drinking.

The last time I went out with Eldest Miss, I didn't dare to drink. If you don't let me have my fill now, I'll suffocate. "

Everyone laughed, and only then did the atmosphere in the meeting hall become lively.

Ou Peng smiled and said, "The two of you have been following us the whole way. Even if you don't have merit, at least you've worked hard. However, our Misty School has always been fair in its rewards and punishments. We can't give you something to offset your merits. Go back to the disciplinary hall to receive your punishment."

Aunt Qin and Stone Ox hurriedly bowed and said, "Understood, Gang Leader."

Then, Ou Peng waved his hand and let Liu Yuzhou, Aunt Qin, and Stone Ox leave first.

After they left, Ou Peng said to Boss Hu, "Eldest Senior Brother, the year is passing by quickly. In the blink of an eye, it's the fifteenth of the first month. Everything needs to be planned."
