Seeing that the Lord of Shidao refused to go to the backyard to meet the leaders of the Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du families, Li Qiufeng had obviously taken precautions. And Liang Huan is in the main hall, if the two sides go to the main hall to discuss, they will definitely do it in the hall. Liang Huan has no power to restrain the chicken, if he dies at the hands of the Japanese Kou, Hugh said that Ji Ding is a middle-class person, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, Han Qusi, Huang Chong and other court officials will not escape the death penalty. It is expected that Ji Dingzhong will definitely think of refusing the invitation of the Lord of Shidao, and if it is not good, he will first invite Liang Huan out of the main hall, and then enter the main hall with the Lord of Shidao and others.

Sure enough, the Shidao master's voice fell, and he only heard Ji Dingzhong say: "Although the scale of this City God Temple is not small, it is just a small temple in a remote place, and there is nothing to look at, let alone a miracle. Since the lord of Shidao is from the southeast, I heard that the Mazu temple there is very effective. If the Lord of Shidao wants to use his divine power to plot great things, he might as well burn a few more pillars of incense in the Mazu Temple, why bother to come inside?"

The master of Shidao smiled: "Mr. Nie, you don't understand the customs of our Fusang people. Fusang people will burn incense when they meet the temple, whether it is a Buddhist temple, or a Taoist temple, even if it is a land temple in a small village, we Fusang people must go to worship after seeing it. In the words of your middle-earth Han people, it is not strange to worship many people, maybe the gods in which temple will appear and help us. Haha, haha. ”

Li Qiufeng's heart sank, and he secretly thought that this person surnamed Shi was really from Fusang. It's just that this person's Chinese language is extremely fluent, and even many people can say such sayings as they don't blame them, and it seems that like Yanagi Zongyan and others, he must have been lurking in Daming for many years. It's going to be a big headache in this time, and I don't know how this person will deal with it.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone say: "Since the Lord of Shidao wants to enter the main hall and rejoice, it is also a good thing." Mr. Nie might as well invite the patriarchs of the Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du families to the main hall, and everyone will conspire together in front of the statue of Chenghuang Niangniang. If it is done in the future, it will also be a beautiful conversation. If Mr. Nie blindly refuses, it will make the master of Shidao unhappy, but I am afraid that there will be many accidents in the future, which is not a good thing for both of us. ”

Li Qiufeng heard Master Bai suddenly interject, and felt a little strange in his heart, secretly thinking, Master Bai obviously knew that Liang Huan was in the main hall, if he was injured in the hands of the Japanese Emperor, his master's head would inevitably move, why did he make such a move? Just thinking about it, maybe Master Bai was afraid that the master of Shidao would see the flaw, so he turned around and fled at this time, and everyone might not be able to stop him. If this person brought a dozen of his subordinates into the main hall, and then wanted to escape from the temple gate, it would be more difficult than ascending to the sky. As long as everyone followed the Shidao Lord into the main hall together, there were so many people guarding around Liang Huan's sedan chair, and it was extremely difficult for the Japanese to hurt him. This Master Bai made a decision immediately, his mind was well-behaved, and in terms of scheming, he was afraid that he was not under Ji Dingzhong and Old Lady Nie.

Master Bai's voice fell, but he heard Ji Dingzhong say: "For such an important matter, I am afraid that something is wrong when I go to the main hall to discuss it." What's more, there are many pilgrims who enter the main hall every day to burn incense and worship God, and we haven't had time to clean it up, and the hall is filthy. If you invite the Lord of Shidao to the main hall to discuss matters, won't you treat your guests slowly?"

Master Bai smiled and said, "What's the matter, let people clean up immediately, and then invite the Shidao Lord and the patriarchs of each family into the palace to discuss matters, won't everything be ready." ”

Li Qiufeng's heart was bright, knowing that it was fake for Master Bai to send someone to clean up the hall, and it was true to find an opportunity to remove Liang Huan and the others from the hall. This man is not chaotic in the face of danger, he is full of wisdom, and he is indeed a great person.

Thinking of this, he secretly glanced at the situation in the main hall. The main hall is square, there is only one exit from the temple gate, and there is no back door and side door. To carry Liang Huan out of the hall unconsciously is tantamount to a fool's dream.

I only heard Ji Dingzhong say: "Since this is the case, please ask the Lord of Shidao to wait for a while." Annoyed Mr. Bai to find someone to clean the hall, and Nie went to the backyard to invite the patriarchs. ”

Li Qiufeng heard a few more polite words, and then several people walked towards the main hall. After these people entered the main hall, the leader of the Yamen of the Judge came forward and whispered a few words to them. Although Li Qiufeng listened attentively, the voices of these people were extremely low, and he couldn't hear what they were saying. I saw the leader nod and waved his right hand at the palanquin man. The eight palanquin bearers immediately stepped forward, lifted the palanquin, moved it behind the statue of Chenghuang Niangniang, and then placed it firmly on the ground. Ten catchers stood on both sides of the sedan chair, one by one, with their chests and stomachs folded, very majestic.

Then the leader waved his hand to the people in civilian clothes, and these people immediately divided into two groups, and each walked around the back of the city god Niangniang, standing against the back wall of the main hall. Li Qiufeng followed the people on the left to bypass the idol and stood behind everyone. He saw that these people were advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, without the slightest confusion, and had obviously practiced many times, and secretly thought to himself, according to the judges' yamen, these arrests are really good, and they are so meticulous in doing things, but they are not under the Jinyi guard. Look at the light steps of these people when they move, and their martial arts are obviously not weak. Liang Huan, a bastard, is really lucky, there are so many masters who work for him.

In the blink of an eye, calm returned to the hall. The people sent by Master Bai had been standing in front of the offering table, and only then did they turn around and leave the main hall after seeing that the crowd was about to retreat behind the idol. After a while, I only heard the sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and then an old voice said: "The lord of Shidao is here, and the old man has not been able to welcome him from afar, so please don't be surprised." ”

Li Qiufeng heard that this was the voice of the old lady Nie, and secretly thought in his heart that this old fox had failed to trick the stone island master into the backyard, and he must have been very annoyed in his heart. But the old fellow had always been calm, and his voice was calm.

The stone island lord smiled: "Whereever, I can be regarded as an uninvited guest." Originally, Mr. Nie was told to enter the city tomorrow, but the road was very smooth, and it was a day ahead of schedule, which caught Mr. Nie off guard. If we want to apologize, it should be that we, the Fusang people, apologize to Mr. Nie. ”

I only listened to a few polite words from both sides. Ji Dingzhong introduced the patriarchs of the Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du families to the lord of Shidao. The patriarch of the Nie family is naturally the old lady Nie, but when he was introduced to the patriarch of the Lu family, Ji Dingzhong only said that the patriarch old lady Lu was seriously ill and could not go to Xiuwu County in person, but in order to show that he attached importance to this matter, he specially sent his two most proud sons.

Li Qiufeng secretly thought in his heart that Ji Dingzhong was deliberately covering up for Old Lady Lu. The Lu family was afraid that the Nie family would poison them, so none of the people in charge of the clan appeared, but they just sent two insignificant sons, which made it clear that they were very guarded against the Nie family.

After Ji Dingzhong introduced the two members of the Lu family, he introduced the head of the Zhao family. Li Qiufeng listened to the voice of the patriarch of the Zhao family, and it was clearly the old man in gray who he had seen in the backyard. In the end, Ji Dingzhong mentioned the Du family again, only to hear him say to the master of Shidao: "This is the head of the Du family, and he is also the parent official of our Xiuwu County." Lord Shidao, Huang Zhixian, you should be closer and closer. ”

I only heard the stone island lord smile and said: "No wonder Mr. Nie chose the place where we met in Xiuwu County, it turns out that this place is also the territory of Fengmen Village." Huang Zhixian, please take care of me in the future. ”

The Shidao Lord's voice fell, and he only heard Huang Chong say: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”

Ji Dingzhong said: "This is the master of Shidao, and he is the master of Jinshan Island overseas." A few months ago, when we eliminated the Xu family in Haizhou, we used a lot of power from Jinshan Island. At that time, the juniors contacted the Shidao Lord, and the patriarchs did not meet with the Shidao Lord. Today, the lord of Shidao traveled thousands of miles to Xiuwu County, which was to give us a great deal of face for the four families in Fengmen Village. In the future, we will be horns with Jinshan Island, and it will be easier to do things. ”

The crowd exchanged pleasantries for a while. I only heard Master Bai say: "There are many people here, I have sent someone to clean the main hall, please come to the hall to discuss matters." ”

Li Qiufeng was stunned when he heard Master Bai say this, and secretly thought that shouldn't Ji Dingzhong say this? Why did Master Bai turn against the guest and take the place of the four families in Fengmen Village?

The stone island lord laughed and said, "Okay, okay, let's go to the main hall to discuss it carefully." Please. ”

Everyone pushed each other and finally walked towards the main hall together. Li Qiufeng stood in the hall and could see the situation outside the hall clearly. I saw the Lord of Shidao walking in the middle, Master Bai and Ji Dingzhong accompanied him, and Old Lady Nie, the seventh elder of the Lu family, and the patriarch of the Zhao family followed behind. Huang Chong had already taken off his official uniform, and at this time he was wearing a purple robe, walking side by side with the patriarch of the Zhao family. Li Qiufeng saw that Han Qusi had also changed into a gray robe, and followed behind the seventh elder of the Lu family, and secretly thought in his heart that Han Qusi was an important figure in the Lu family, but he didn't know who he was from the old lady Lu.
