Chapter 56 Chapter 56: The Bloody Controversy

On the morning of the second day, Li Sibiao was invited to visit an old friend's house near Zuo, and brought his daughter and Zhang Lei with him.Zhao Guan didn't want to see more martial arts figures, so he found an excuse to stay.The members of Xin Wu's gang stationed in the altar went to buy pancakes and deep-fried dough sticks early in the morning, and asked him to eat them, so Zhao Guan sat around and had breakfast with seven or eight gang members, and chatted. Prestige, will definitely be chosen as the altar master, very excited. It was only past morning, but I saw a member of the Xin Wu gang rushing into the incense altar, shouting: "Brother Peng, Brother Peng has been killed!"All the brothers in the altar turned pale with shock, they asked for details in unison, only to find out that Peng Wei was assassinated last night and died on the bed.Everyone rushed to Peng's house together, and saw that Peng Wei had been hacked seventeen or eight times, his body was covered in blood, and he died in a terrible state. When the brothers in the gang saw him, they all knelt down in front of his dead body, crying bitterly.

Peng Wei's second-in-command, Guo Qianchuan, also rushed over after hearing the news. When he saw Peng Wei's body, he cried and cursed, "Which bastard did it?"When asked about Peng Wei's family, they all said that no one broke in last night. Zhao Guan didn't have any friendship with Peng Wei, only knew that he was an upright guy, seeing his tragic death, he couldn't help but feel sad, thinking to himself: This must be done by the fucking Lin Xiaochao and the others.With the same heart, Peng Wei's subordinates said one after another: "Who else, it must be the hands of the god damn Zhang Wanqing!"They knew they couldn't win, so they resorted to such tricks!At this time, the crowd was headed by Guo Qianchuan, and Guo Qianchuan immediately said loudly: "Brothers, let's seek justice from the surname Zhang!"Everyone was filled with grief and indignation, and said together: Exactly!Go and avenge Big Brother Peng!More than thirty people took their weapons, knives and sticks, and rushed to Zhang Wanqing's incense altar.

Zhao Guan frowned, didn't follow, thought: We don't have any evidence, if we go to question the crime like this, we won't be able to get anything done.Then he stepped forward and took a closer look.At this time, another three or five brothers arrived, and when they saw Peng Wei's body, they were filled with righteous indignation and clamored to settle accounts with Zhang Wanqing.Zhao Guan said to everyone: Don't worry!You see, the fatal wound of Xiangzhu is on the back, and the bed under him is pierced by a sharp knife.It is thought that the thief hid under the bed, and while Master Peng Xiang was asleep, he pierced the bed with a knife to kill.When everyone saw it, they all nodded in agreement.

Zhao Guandao: This person hid under the bed for a while, maybe he left some things behind.Which brothers please go down and see?A thin gang member named Fang Ping immediately got under the bed, searched for a while, and took out a small piece of clothes, which he thought was caught by a nail under the bed when the man escaped, and a few pale yellow beards.A brother pointed to the beard and shouted: Everyone, look at the color of this beard, it is Qin's beard! As soon as this remark came out, everyone cursed, Fang Ping said angrily: "It really is Zhang Wanqing!"This Qin beard is a mixed race of barbarians from the Western Regions, his beard is light yellow, very rare, this beard is obviously left by him.Qin Huzi was Zhang Wanqing's close subordinate, and he was instructed by Zhang Wanqing to assassinate Peng Wei.

Seeing that the crowd was furious, Zhao Guan rushed to the door, he couldn't stop him, he just stretched out his hand to hold the two of them, and said: "Two brothers, slow down, I have something to ask for your help."The two said: What?Zhao Guan said to one person: "I'm sorry to bother you, go find Li Siye immediately, report this matter, and ask him to return immediately to take charge of the overall situation."The man hurried away.The other person was Fang Ping who crawled under the bed just now.Zhao Guandao: Brother Fang, please bring that piece of cloth, we will catch Qin Huzi.Fang Ping was stunned, and followed Zhao Guan to go out.

Zhao Guan guessed that Qin Huzi must have been hiding at this time, and immediately went to the gambling alley of Huajie in the city, asked Fang Ping to wait at the entrance of the alley, and sneaked into a brothel under Baihuamen by himself.As soon as he entered the door, He Feng, Qingzhu's new disciple, greeted him immediately, asking the master for any instructions.Zhao Guan asked her to check the whereabouts of a light yellow beard, He Feng said: It's not difficult, I will ask someone to check immediately.After less than a cup of tea, someone sent word back that he had seen such a person in the Pure Land Temple outside the city, so Zhao Guan took Fang Ping to the Pure Land Temple.

Fang Ping was very surprised and asked: Brother Jiang, how do you know he is hiding in the Pure Land Temple?Zhao Guandao: Don't ask too many questions.Let's go and arrest him, and then ask Fourth Master to uphold justice.Brother Guo and the others ran like this, and they would definitely not be able to please them. The two rushed to the Pure Land Temple, went straight to the single room, searched room by room, and saw a big man with a yellow beard sitting in a room, Fang Ping shouted: "It's him!"Picking up the piece of cloth in his hand, it was indeed the same as the clothes Qin Huzi was wearing.Qin Huzi's expression changed, he drew out his single saber and slashed at Zhao Guan.Zhao Guan waved his left hand, Qin Huzi's right wrist seemed to be scorched, he let go of his sword, sat down on the ground, and cursed: "Evil door!"

Fang Ping rushed forward, grabbed him by the collar, and shouted: "You should do it yourself for the good thing you did last night!"Qin Huzi still insisted, and said: What have I done?If you arrest people indiscriminately, brother Zhang will not spare you!Fang Pingdao: We found your clothes and beard under Brother Peng's bed, you hid under Brother Peng's bed last night and assassinated him, how dare you deny it?Qin Huzi's expression changed, and he said: "How can I do this?" Zhao Guan shook his head and said: "The surname Zhang wants to put all the crimes on you alone, let him clear it up, and don't care about any loyalty, why do you need to defend him?"Fang Ping, fourth master told us to act cheaply, killing brothers, is it a capital offense according to gang rules?Needless to say, just kill it.When Qin Huzi heard this, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: Wait a minute, I am just following orders.

Zhao Guandao: Whose order is it?Qin Huzi faltered for a while, then said: "It's what the altar master meant, how can I have any idea?"Fang Ping said angrily: Huh, we knew that Zhang Wanqing sent you out.Walk!Go talk in front of fourth master. The two escorted Qin Huzi back to Nanchang, and the brother Xin Wu from Xin Wutan who was going to spread the message hurried over and said angrily: Fourth Master and his friends went out for a horse race outside the city, and there was no one there for a while.The second brother Guo and a group of brothers have been caught by Zhang, saying that they have committed rebellion and should be executed immediately according to gang rules.Fang Ping was startled and angry, at a loss what to do, he could only turn to Zhao Guan, and said anxiously: Brother Jiang, what should I do?Zhao Guan frowned and said: "It's not too late, let's go and have a look, at least save the lives of the brothers."

Zhao Guan and Fang Ping escorted Qin Huzi to the entrance of Zhang Wanqing's incense altar, more than a dozen Zhang sent his men to come up to ask and stop him, Zhao Guan said: "The fourth master sent me here, I have something important to do with Master Zhang Xiang."A man said: Brother Zhang is busy and has no time to see you.Zhao Guan got annoyed, and shouted: Damn it, we can see you whenever you are free.Get out of my way!He grabbed a wooden stick casually, beat everyone to pieces, and rushed into the inner hall.But Zhang Wanqing and a group of brothers were drinking and talking and laughing. Guo Qianchuan and other 30 people were standing against the wall. Their hands and feet were tied with thick ropes. They were all covered in blood. Two of them were lying on the ground. that's it.

Zhao Guan's face darkened, and he said coldly: Zhang, you sent someone to assassinate Peng Wei, and even killed his brother, isn't it too much? Zhang Wanqing squinted his eyes at him, and said with a smile: Tsk tsk tsk, I said who it was, it turned out to be the rabbit next to Fourth Master.I said, little rabbit, come here to have fun with me, and cut some rabbit leg meat for me to drink with! Everyone burst into laughter.But seeing a figure flash, Zhao Guan quickly rushed forward, grabbed Zhang Wanqing by the collar, waved his hand and slapped him across the face, knocking out seven or eight of his teeth.He hated people calling him Mr. Rabbit, and when he was furious, he would strike even more mercilessly. He grabbed Zhang Wanqing's neck with his left hand, pulled out the simple knife from his waist with his right hand, slammed it on the table, and said coldly: "What are you doing?" Don't cut off the thigh meat, serve me wine? Everyone in the room was stunned when they saw this change, and became completely silent for a moment.Zhang Wanqing's subordinates drew their weapons one after another, stepped forward and shouted: "That boy, let go of my elder brother!" Zhao Guan stretched out his legs and kicked out several men who were approaching. He raised the simple knife and pressed it against Zhang Wanqing's head, shouting: "Fucking bastards, get out of here!"Otherwise, I'll cut off the bastard's dog's head with one blow!Zhang Wanqing's men feared that he had captured the leader, so they hurriedly backed away. Zhang Wanqing is famous for his simple knives, and he is also very accomplished in fists and feet. Who would have thought that Zhao Guan's appearance is so delicate, but his strikes are so rough, and his movements are so fast, he was able to be restrained by him in a single move. He said with a smile: Brother, I have something to say.They are all brothers, so they can talk about anything.His mouth was full of blood, and his speech was slurred. Zhao Guan shouted: You talk too much nonsense.Why don't you let Brother Peng's subordinates go soon?Zhang Wanqing hurriedly said: Brothers, let him go!His subordinates hurried over to untie Guo Qianchuan and the others.At this moment, Peng Wei's subordinate brothers came over more than 20 people, went up to support the injured brother, and yelled at Zhang Wanqing's subordinates. Zhang Wanqing was restrained by others, he smiled to Zhao Guan and said: This is Brother Jiang, right?They are all brothers in the gang, just a little misunderstanding, everyone has something to say, something to say. Zhao Guan swung his right hand, pressed Zhang Wanqing's head on the table, and said with a sneer: "Who calls you brother?"You sent someone to assassinate Brother Peng Wei, you really have a brotherhood! Zhang Wanqing struggled and said: It's not me, I didn't!Zhao Guan scolded: You bastard, how dare you deny it?Brother Fang, bring someone up!Fang Ping escorted Qin Huzi out, and shouted: The surname Zhang, Qin Huzi is your subordinate, isn't he?He has recruited him to assassinate Brother Peng while hiding under the bed last night, you still have the face to deny it!Zhang Wanqing's expression changed drastically, and he still insisted: "It's none of my business. I didn't ask him to kill anyone. It's because he has a grudge against Peng Wei, and it has nothing to do with me!"
