Xiao Yunfan, the Thirteenth Silver Leader, had naturally heard of it, and knowing that these people were going to deal with him, he felt despised. In addition, he had a long-standing rift with the members of the Beggar Clan, which made him even more disgusted with them. He secretly said: "Yin Thirteen is as famous as me, and I think he is also a dignified hero. But most heroes in the world respect their reputation and rarely kill women. Yin Thirteen may have his reasons for doing this.
In any case, I, Xiao Yunfan, his friend, would like to know. If he really deceives the world and steals his reputation and kills innocent people indiscriminately, then the Beggar Gang will deal with him, and I will have to stand by and watch. If he is really upright and does what he does rightly, I, Xiao Yunfan, will fight the beggar gang to the end even if I risk my life. "
When he thought of this, his chest suddenly filled with pride. When he heard that the man surnamed Ma wanted to discuss with the Beggar Clan, he would not take action for a moment. Xiao Yunfan also remembered the location they mentioned. He immediately returned to the inn and took another nap to replenish his energy.
In a dilapidated tile-roofed house, twelve lowly Beggar Clan disciples guarded the door. A plump old woman sat on a mahogany chair in the room. Beside her were two disciples who were beating her back. The woman's face was pockmarked and her hair was disheveled. He was smoking a dry cigarette in his mouth.
The old beggar surnamed He held a green bamboo stick and bowed to the old woman, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Elder Tian on making a fortune." This old woman is Tian Qiulan, one of the eight elders of the Beggar Clan. She squinted her eyes and looked at the old beggar named He, and blew out a puff of smoke from her fat mouth.
Then she knocked the ash from the cigarette pot on the soles of her shoes, and said slowly: "He Laogou, what do you mean by that?" He Laogou smiled and stepped forward: "Someone wants to buy Yin Shisan's life, and the price is 50,000. Two. I have always been cared for by the elders, but I have never repaid you in return. Now that such a beautiful thing has happened, you will naturally be the first to think of me."
Tian Qiulan nodded and said: "You still have a conscience. But it may not be easy to touch Silver Thirteen. Besides, when did our beggar gang change their profession?" He Laogou sniffed and said: "Elder Tian, this business It’s all delivered to your door, it’s really not worth it if others take away the fat that reaches your mouth.”
His words hit the mark and really moved Tian Qiulan. With 50,000 taels of silver, I will be able to have enough food and clothing for the rest of my life. Tian Qiulan hooked her finger at him and motioned for him to come forward and speak. He Laogou came close to her ear and said: "Ma Mingyuan from Majiazhuang is willing to spend 50,000 taels of silver to take Yin Shisan's life. I have already brought him. I wonder if you would like to see him?"
Tian Qiulan smiled and said: "Since everyone is here, please invite the God of Wealth in." He Laogou said: "Yes." He walked outside the door and said to Ma Mingyuan in the distance: "Brother Ma, come here. , Elder Tian is affectionate."
While he was talking, Ma Mingyuan walked into the room, and there was a fishy smell in the room that almost made him sick. He held back his hands and said, "I have admired you for a long time, Elder Tian." Tian Qiulan smiled and said, "The old beggar is very shabby. I wonder where did Uncle Ma come from, and where did his admiration come from?"
Ma Mingyuan's face turned red and he said: "Elder Tian is well-known in the Beggar Clan, and he is a senior figure to Ma. Ma loves to make friends with heroes the most in his life, and he has great respect for senior figures. Elder Tian doesn't have to commit suicide. I am humbled."
Tian Qiulan said: "Uncle Ma's words are beautiful. I am very happy for this old lady in the top hat. Someone come and show Uncle Ma a seat." Before she finished speaking, a smart subordinate immediately moved a chair over.
Tian Qiulan added: "Uncle Ma is a guest from afar. Logically speaking, the old lady should treat you well. However, Uncle Ma is well-informed and naturally he doesn't look down on the old beggar's things. I think it is better to avoid such a false courtesy. ”
Ma Mingyuan smiled and said: "What did Elder Tian say? It is already very rare that you are willing to see me. How can I dare to ask for anything else." Tian Qiulan stretched out her fat palm and scratched her neck, glanced at He Laogou sideways and said: "Lao He said just now that Uncle Ma has something to ask of my old lady. I don't think so. Uncle Ma's luxurious clothes make him look like he belongs to a wealthy family. I think he must be taking advantage of my old lady for fun."
He Laogou sniffed again and said: "Look what you always said, how many of me have the courage to make you happy? Brother Ma, Elder Tian is a cheerful person, just tell her everything about you, she will The old man is the most heroic and courageous person, and he will definitely make the decision for you."
Hearing this, Ma Mingyuan burst into tears and said: "Elder Tian, you must make the decision for me. My sister Ma Qingping was innocently murdered by the evil thief Yin Shisan. He pulled out my sister's body and threw it naked in my Majia Village. in front of the door.
The villain is crude in martial arts and is no match for him. I wanted to ask Brother He to help me, but Brother He said that as long as I told Elder Tian about this matter, she would hate evil and she would seek justice for me. "
Tian Qiulan raised her head, stretched out her hand and slapped the table beside her hard. The tea bowl on the table immediately jumped up and rolled down. She just heard her loudly say: "It's unreasonable. This Yin Thirteen is really bullying people. Don't say it's you, Uncle Ma, who came to my door. Even if Uncle Ma didn't say anything about this and it reached the ears of the old lady, he would have killed this bitch." .”
Ma Mingyuan listened to her righteous words and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Senior is so noble and upright, I am so impressed by this junior."
Tian Qiulan winked at He Laogou. He Laogou hurriedly helped Ma Mingyuan, patted the dust on his body, and said slowly: "Brother, what am I talking about? Elder Tian is a brave man, so just put your heart in it." In my belly, since she has promised you, Silver Thirteen’s head will be torn off sooner or later and he will serve as a chamber pot for you.”
Ma Mingyuan stretched out his sleeves and wiped his tears and said: "Brother He, Elder Tian, I, Ma Mingyuan, am not a person who doesn't understand the rules." As he said that, he took out three thousand taels of silver notes and handed them to He Laogou with both hands and said: "Elder, please Be sure to accept it.”
Tian Qiulan said: "Old He, go and call all the disciples outside the door and tell them that I have something to give them." After a while, the twelve disciples held the bamboo poles and walked into the house. Tian Qiulan said: "You guys go down now to check Yin Shisan's whereabouts. If you find out, you will report immediately." The twelve people said in unison: "Yes." They filed out.
Tian Qiulan thought for a while and then said: "Uncle Ma, when you go back, write a letter of challenge in your name. We are people in the rivers and lakes, and we must act according to the rules of the rivers and lakes." Ma Mingyuan said: "Yes, junior, I will go back now. Get ready." Tian Qiulan said to Ma Mingyuan: "People cannot be resurrected after death, but Uncle Ma still expresses his condolences. Old dog, you send Uncle Ma off."
With that said, the two of them bowed to Tian Qiulan and hurried out of the house. Ma Mingyuan was still worried and said: "Brother He, is this Elder Tian reliable?" He Laogou looked around, pointed at him and said: "I said you kid, it's a shame you said this in front of me, brother. If Elder Tian really hears it, your matter will be considered a shame."
Ma Mingyuan nodded and said: "Yes, yes, what the elder brother said is true. When I get Yin Shisan's head, I will have the remaining silver delivered." He Laogou patted his shoulder and said: "Brother, yours is I trust the credibility brother."
In the spring of March, everything revives. A row of willow trees along the river bank have just sprouted buds, and thousands of soft ribbons are swaying left and right in the spring breeze. A cold voice said: "Everyone in the world who is unlucky should die." As he said that, he threw a small wooden sign with Ma Qingping's name on it in front of a dug pit, spit, and then moved it with his foot. The soil in front of the pit buried the wooden sign.
The speaker had silver hair, and the strange thing was that the roots of his silver hair were as straight as pine needles. His eyebrows were also white, and he had a cold and arrogant expression on his face. Although it is early spring, the weather is still very cold. He only wore a brown animal skin vest on his upper body, and a wolf fang pendant hung around his neck. The collar of the vest was open, revealing his solid chest muscles.
This person is the famous Silver Thirteen. His origin is unknown, but just twenty years ago, this man became famous overnight like a shooting star. Some say he is a gambler, some say he is a killer, and some say he is a madman. No matter what the truth is, one thing is true, this man's martial arts are excellent.
None of the people he wanted to kill survived. No one can stop what he wants to do. The wounds of people killed by Silver Thirteen are very special. The entire face will be sunken, there will be a hole in the throat, the joints of the limbs will be dislocated, and a wolf head mark will be left on the skin of the chest.
Silver Thirteen sat by the river and took out a piccolo from his arms. The sound of the flute is clear and sweet, and the music is bright and concise. On the other side of the river sat a middle-aged man fishing. At this time, a woman wearing goose-yellow clothes heard Silver Thirteen playing the flute and couldn't help but praise: "It sounds really nice. Can you play another song?"
Silver Thirteen stood up and turned to leave. The woman raised her hand, and a very long ribbon was wrapped around a tree branch. She jumped and flew across the river. She caught up and said, "Hey! This girl is asking you something. Why don't you answer? Are you deaf?" Silver Thirteen turned back and looked at her coldly.
The girl said again: "Humph! I heard that you played well, so I asked you to play again. Others were crying and begging me to listen, and I was too lazy to pay attention to them." Yin Shisan ignored her and turned to Go forward. The girl flicked her wrist, and the ribbon tied to the branch returned to her hand.
She glanced at Yin Shisan's back and said: "Boy, if you dare to say no to what I want you to do, I will let you know my methods." Yin Shisan said: "What I don't want to do. Others can't force me." The girl smiled and said: "What a coincidence, I like to force others to make things difficult for me. You'd better be obedient, maybe I will reward you with a gold ingot when I am happy. Otherwise..."
Silver Thirteen ignored him and strode forward. The girl flicked her wrist, and the ribbon wound around his neck like a long snake. Silver Thirteen bent his knees, and the ribbon fell into place. The girl was not willing to give in. She pulled it with her right hand and sent it out again. The ribbon pierced the back of Yin Shisan's head like a javelin.
Silver Thirteen didn't even look back and ran forward in long strides. Although the ribbon flew very quickly, it was still three inches away from the back of his head. After all, the length of the ribbon is limited, and the person with Silver Thirteen is already beyond the reach of the ribbon. His figure flickered, rose and fell a few times, and then disappeared. The girl tried her best to catch up, but could not catch up.
She put away the ribbon and said loudly: "Hey! Wait for me, girl. You must look good next time I see you." As soon as she turned around, an old fisherman looked at her and said, "Girl, do you want to cause trouble again?" That girl He turned around and stuck out his tongue, his face turned red and he said, "Uncle Hu, you saw it all."
The fisherman said: "You girl, you really don't know the heights of heaven and earth. Do you know who that person was just now?" The girl said: "Isn't he just a man with white hair?" The fisherman shook his head and said: "This man is... He is a big devil, and people in the world want to avoid him. It would be better for you to provoke him."
When the girl heard this, she laughed loudly and said: "What big devil? If he is really a big devil, how can he be so afraid of me?" The fisherman shook his head and sighed: "Girl, you must be careful when traveling in the world. As the saying goes: 'A mountain is higher than a mountain, and a river is deeper than a river.' With your humble skills, thanks to your uncle and me, otherwise you would suffer a lot if you really meet a top master."
The girl made a face at the fisherman and said: "You old guys are the most annoying. My ears are ringing with your talk. I would say that the older you get, the more timid you become." The fisherman smiled bitterly and said: "When people get old, they become timid. When young people are brave, they do things without depth. There will always be a day when they hit their heads and bleed."
The girl walked up to the fisherman, looked at his fish basket and said, "Uncle Hu, you have been fishing for a long time and you caught a fish. And this fish is only so small." As she said this, she deliberately made a gesture with her little finger.
