Humpty Dumpty didn't know that the old man had killed two Dongchang fanzi who came to the ancestral hall to make trouble, and when he heard what Li Qiufeng said, he hurriedly asked what was going on. The old man targeted the ancestral hall for this piece of land, and if he couldn't buy it, he had to use the power of Dongchang to frame the crime and say that the ancestral hall was taken away. In the end, it was said that the two fans entered the ancestral hall and were killed by him with a hidden weapon, and the corpses were thrown behind the offering hall, intending to throw them into the river at night and destroy the corpses. After hearing this, Humpty Dumpty said with a smile: "These fans went out of the capital, did all kinds of evil, and killed them just right, so that they would not harm the people." However, Feng'er also has a point, Fanzi's death in Chongqing Mansion is not a trivial matter. After dark, Feng'er and I threw the body into the river, so Mr. Huang didn't have to worry. ”

The old man and Humpty Dumpty have known each other for many years, and they know that Humpty Dumpty's martial arts are superb, and there are few enemies in the world. Li Qiufeng is also a young man and an old man, and his martial arts are not weak. With these two people helping out, you don't have to worry. It was he who smiled slightly, and said, "Then there is Brother Lao Liu." ”

Humpty Dumpty said, "But this matter also reminds us of this." Nowadays, the officials of the imperial court are corrupt, and the government and the opposition are in crisis. This time, I went out of Sichuan, traveled through four provinces, traveled more than 5,000 miles, and what I saw and heard along the way was really shocking. Luoyang Guan Lin has a great reputation, and everyone in the world knows about it, and no one dares to fight Guan Lin's idea. However, in Shanxi and Hebei, I saw many injustices. Most of the land around Guan Erye's mound has been occupied, and perhaps in a few years, that land will be taken away by the rich. The Shunping Hou Temple in Changshan has long been targeted, and a fire inexplicably broke out in May last year, burning the temple to a blank ground. The government not only did not track down the arsonist, but instead caught Miao Zhu and others in the yamen and beat them half to death, and sentenced them to the crime of confiscating the army. Then he sold the temple property to a wealthy man. Therefore, three years later, when I went out of Sichuan again, I did not need to go to Shanxi and Hebei. ”

Humpty Dumpty said this, sighed, and continued: "These filthy officials and rich and shoddy gentry have robbed land to an outrageous level. The imperial court paid extremely heavy taxes, and from time to time increased the amount of money levied on the Tartars and the Japanese Invaders. The people had no choice but to sell their fields to large households and become tenant farmers of large families themselves. And behind those big households, they are all officials in the court or Zhishi to support them. Now all the fields in Jiangnan have been divided up by officials, and the people have become tenant farmers. I see that the Yangtze River is already north, and it will soon become like this. Mr. Huang, since someone has set their sights on your land, I am afraid it will be very disadvantageous to you. ”

The old man sighed and said, "Brother Liu, I can't hide it, how can I not know that there is already a crisis at the moment? In the past ten years, there have been many people who have to keep an eye on this land, some are robbers, and some are secretly soliciting, but fortunately, I have dealt with them. It's just that the people who want to seize the land this time are very powerful, and I see that the people around me have moved away, and the fans of Dongchang have also come to the door to make trouble, and the other party's power must be extremely good. However, Ma Gong is loyal and righteous, our Huang family has been here for more than a thousand years, if I lose the Ma Gong Temple in my hands, how can I see the ancestors of the Huang family underground?!"

Humpty Dumpty shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I live in seclusion in Qingcheng Mountain, I have nothing to do, and I often go to various Taoist temples to hang out. The Taoist saying of 'go with the flow' is a wise saying. If the general trend has become today, it will be difficult to resist it with the strength of you and me. Perhaps there must be a earth-shaking change to cleanse the world of filth and restore the people to a peaceful and prosperous world where they can live and work in peace and contentment. Wouldn't it be good for the old gentleman to abandon this place, take Ma Gong's relics to Shushan, find a place that is difficult for outsiders to reach, and rebuild Ma Gong's ancestral hall, so as not to suffer from the bird spirit of these filthy officials?"

The old man smiled bitterly, and said: "I naturally understand what my brother means, but Ma Gongyingling has been enjoying sacrifices in this ancestral hall for more than a thousand years, how can I bear to let him leave this place?"

Humpty Dumpty said, "The old gentleman's words are wrong. Ma Gong's righteous deeds back then can be said to be earth-shattering and crying ghosts and gods. His heroic spirit has already entered the heavenly realm, and the ancestral hall that remains here is just to promote his righteous deeds and make the people of the world respect. Now that the chaos is in front of us, if the ancestral hall is destroyed by the war, it will not be beautiful. It is better to pack up the relics of Ma Gong and welcome them to Shushan. The mountains there are thousands of miles high, stretching for thousands of miles, even if the world is in chaos, but no one can go to the mountains to do evil. Please think twice. ”

The old man was silent, thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Brother Liu is right. In that case, then I will pack up Ma Gong's relics tonight and go to Shushan with you master and apprentice tomorrow. ”

Humpty Dumpty saw that the old man had agreed to his request, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "That's the best." Without further ado, I'll hire a big boat, and we'll leave for Chengdu tomorrow. ”

Li Qiufeng heard Humpty Dumpty say that he wanted to hire a boat, his heart moved, and he remembered the boatman of the sailboat he was on, so he said to Humpty Dumpty: "The apprentice took a boat from Jingzhou to Chongqing Mansion, and the boatman of the sailboat he took was honest and kind, and once told his apprentice that if he traveled by boat, he could be found to see him off. It was a matter of hiring a boat, so I left it to my disciples. ”

Humpty Dumpty nodded, and the three of them thought about it again. When it was dark, the old man went to pack his things. Humpty Dumpty and Li Qiufeng walked to the offering hall, but saw that the bodies of the two fans were already frozen as hard as iron. The two of them each carried a corpse and jumped out of the courtyard. Behind the ancestral hall is an alley, and after the heavy snowfall, there is silence everywhere. In order to leave as few footprints as possible, the two of them used light skills to fly the eaves and walk the wall, and went straight to the river.

The Ma Gong Ancestral Hall is located on a small hill, and if you go down the zigzag road, you have to walk at least ten miles to the river. At this time, the two of them used light skills to rush straight down the slope, and the distance was shortened several times. However, after a cup of tea, I have reached the bottom of the slope, and I can faintly hear the rumbling sound of the river rushing.

Although the sky was dark, the ground was covered with thick snow, and you could see the houses and roads dimly in front of you. Humpty Dumpty comes here every three years and is very familiar with the road topography of Chongqing Prefecture. At this time, he identified the direction and location, and whispered to Li Qiufeng: "This is the upstream of Chaotianmen Wharf, if the corpse is thrown into the river from here, I am afraid that the river will drift with the corpse and be discovered at Chaotianmen Wharf." It's better for us to cross the Chaotian Gate, walk more than ten miles downstream, and then throw the body into the river, and no one will be able to find the body. ”

Li Qiufeng nodded yes. The two walked south along the riverside, but after half a pillar of incense, they had already walked through the Chaotianmen Wharf. On an ordinary day, even after nightfall, the Chaotianmen Wharf area is very lively. It's just that it snowed heavily today, and the boatmen and the people closed their doors early. It was the two of them who walked under the huge stone stele workshop at Chaotianmen Wharf, and there was a dead silence all around, and there was no one around. The snow is flat and immaculate, and as far as the eye can see, there is a silvery flat land in front of you.

The two of them walked south along the river, and after walking four or five miles, they had already left the boundary of Chaotianmen Wharf. On the left side is the surging river, and on the right side the houses gradually become scarce, and finally become a wilderness and dirt slope. It wasn't until more than ten miles away that another big river flowed into the river on the right. Although I can't see it clearly, I can see that the river is open, and although the water is turbulent, it is very stable. Humpty Dumpty said to Li Qiufeng: "The river is wide here, and after throwing the corpse into it, it will not float back to the shore." And overnight, I didn't know that it would be washed out hundreds of miles away by the river, so we just overtook these two times here. ”

Li Qiufeng naturally had no objections. The two of them lifted the corpses, and the internal force was everywhere, throwing the two corpses five or six feet away. Although it was far away and it was impossible to see the situation of the corpse clearly, I heard two "plop" sounds, thinking that the corpse had fallen into the river. The two stood quietly by the river, waited for a while, and saw that there was nothing unusual, and then returned to the Magong Ancestral Hall together.

This night, the master and apprentice lived in the same room, and they were full of emotion when they talked about their respective situations in the past five years. Later, when talking about the way of martial arts, when it came to the rise, the two actually got up, made knives with their hands, and each tried out a set of Xuanxu knife techniques. Humpty Dumpty saw that Li Qiufeng's moves were erratic, and he nodded his head and said, "It seems that you have put a lot of effort into this set of sword techniques in the past five years, and what you lack is still the opportunity to respond to the enemy when you are facing the enemy with a martial arts master." It's just that how can a master in the world easily meet? In the future, you can practice this set of sword techniques to what level it can only depend on your creation!"
