Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Chapter 3510: 3512【Hongmen Banquet】

Although the killer appeared and disturbed Yaxing for a while, Xiang Nan and Shangguan Jinhong didn't care.

 For these Jianghu people, fighting and killing, the flash of swords and swords, have long been commonplace.

But Mr. Cui, the Minister of Food, as an official of the imperial court, stayed away from the world. He had almost been killed just now, but he was lucky enough to escape. Now he was not interested in having a banquet. He was so frightened that his face turned pale and his legs were trembling. He couldn't hold on anymore and said goodbye.

Shangguan Jinhong did not try to persuade him to stay, and ordered Jing Wuming to send someone to take him back to his home.

"Brother Xunhuan, you have been hanging pots in Taipu City to help the world since you were the most beautiful girl in high school, and you have declined the imperial court's call many times. Why did you suddenly come to Beijing recently?" After Lord Cui left, Shangguan Jinhong asked.

“To be honest, the leader of the Shangguan Gang, I was entrusted by a great person and came to Beijing specifically to find a person whose whereabouts are unknown.” Xiang Nan explained.

 “It’s true.” Shangguan Jinhong nodded.

 After Xiang Nan entered the capital, he sent people to monitor the surrounding area. He knew that Empress Dowager Zhang had come to Xiang Nan, and the entrustment must be related to the consort Jin Ziguang.

 So what Xiang Nan said is indeed true.

"Shangguan Gang Leader, I also have a problem. I hope the Gang Leader will tell the truth." Xiang Nan said with cupped hands.

 “Excuse me.” Shangguan Jinhong nodded and said.

“Is the loss of two and a half million taels of silver from the Ministry of Household Affairs related to the Money Gang?” Xiang Nan asked immediately.

Shangguan Jinhong was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened, and he said with a cold smile, "You are really outspoken."

Jing Wuming looked at Xiang Nan coldly, with a cold look in his eyes.

This question is really disrespectful. As long as the gang leader gives an order, he will immediately stab with his sword.

Sun Xiaohong was also a little panicked. She didn't expect Xiang Nan to investigate the case so directly and actually asked straight to the point.

Even if he was involved in the loss of two million and a half million taels of silver, he wouldn't be stupid enough to tell him.

“I don’t like to make things too complicated by nature.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.

“If I say that this loss of silver has nothing to do with our gang, would you believe it?” Shangguan Jinhong then said.

“Believe it.” Xiang Nan nodded.

“Oh?!” Shangguan Jinhong was quite surprised, “You trust me so easily?”

"Because a person who can practice martial arts to the extreme must be a sincere person." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Be sincere to yourself and your opponents. Only in this way can you reach the perfect state."

Shangguan Jinhong was startled, and then he was greatly touched, "Okay, well said. You are worthy of being my confidant."

As the leader of the Money Gang, although he is talented, wise, and resourceful, since he started his business, he has always been a conspiracy and has never used any conspiracy.

After he was ranked second in the weapons list, he also wanted to practice hard and improve his strength. Sooner or later, he would have a showdown with Sun Baifa and beat him openly and honestly.

Unlike Long Xiaoyun, Bai Xiaosheng, and Zhuge Shenjun, who come up with all kinds of conspiracies and tricks to harm people. Such people, because they have too many distracting thoughts in their hearts, will never become a top master even if they practice martial arts for a lifetime.

"Then let me tell you the truth, our Money Gang has absolutely nothing to do with this batch of lost silver." Shangguan Jinhong then said, "But I came to Beijing this time for the two million and a half million taels of official silver." .”

 “I understand.” Xiang Nan nodded.

 The theft of two and a half million taels of official silver had nothing to do with the Money Gang. But when such a large amount of money is missing, everyone wants to find it and get a piece of it. The Money Gang runs a bank, so naturally they won't miss out on this big fortune. "It's much easier to talk to smart people." Shangguan Jinhong smiled and said, "Brother Xunhuan, we might as well make a gentleman's agreement."

“Master Shangguan, please speak.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.

“This gang will send people to help you search for missing people. If you encounter a strong enemy or opponent, our gang leader will also give you full support so that you can complete your task.” Shangguan Jinhong said.

“Okay, what price will I have to pay?” Xiang Nan asked.

"Don't pay any price." Shangguan Jinhong waved his hand and said, "There is only one thing. If by chance, the 50,000 official ingots appear, our gang may step in to share the share. Brother Xunhuan, please don't interfere.

 Can Brother Xunhuan agree to this? "

 “It’s a deal.” Xiang Nan raised his glass and said.

 “Have fun, please.” Shangguan Jinhong laughed.

 …

 After the banquet, Xiang Nan and Sun Xiaohong returned to Dongjuxian Inn.

“Master Li, do you think the assassin at tonight’s banquet came from?” Sun Xiaohong asked curiously.

"They should just be sent to disrupt the situation." Xiang Nan thought for a while and said, "Their target is neither me nor Shangguan Jinhong, but the Minister of Food, Mr. Cui.

 But there are many opportunities to kill Mr. Cui, why did he choose to kill Master Cui at this banquet? You know, the second and third players in the weapon list tonight, as well as the new swordsman Jing Wumingke, are both here. Is there any worse chance than this?

 Hence, I think the purpose of the person behind the scenes is not to kill people, but just to disrupt the situation.

Maybe he wanted to create misunderstandings between me and Shangguan Jinhong and cause conflicts between us; maybe he wanted to frame Shangguan Jinhong and cause some trouble for his bank business; he might even want to frame Jing Wuming, after all, tonight He should be responsible for the security of the banquet..."

“That makes sense.” Sun Xiaohong nodded, “Then Master Li, do you really think that Shangguan Jinhong has nothing to do with the two and a half million taels of silver lost?”

"I believe that at this stage, Shangguan Jinhong has nothing to do with the missing silver." Xiang Nan nodded, "There are two reasons. First, Shangguan Jinhong is a proud person. If he is really related to the missing silver, he must be disdainful. To lie.

 Second, if he is really related to the loss of silver, even if he tells the truth, there is nothing we can do against him. So there is no need for him to lie. "

 Shangguan Jinhong’s Money Gang is the largest gang in the world, with branches all over the world and thousands of gang members. The power even surpasses the former largest gang in the world, the Beggar Clan.

But Xiang Nan is just alone. Facing such a large gang, he is like a mantis trying to use his arms as a chariot. No matter how good his martial arts skills are, he can't defeat a gang by himself.

 So Shangguan Jinhong had no need or bother to deceive him.

Moreover, Xiang Nan has watched the TV series and knows that the 2.5 million taels of silver have nothing to do with Shangguan Jinhong, so he knows that he is not lying.

"Yes, that makes sense." Sun Xiaohong nodded again, "Master Li, you are really smart and your analysis is very clear. I am really ashamed of myself."

"You don't have to say that, I'm just a few years older and have more experience." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I have to worry about you running around with me for a day."

"No, I don't know how happy I am to be with you." Sun Xiaohong said happily.

“Miss Xiaohong, how could I, Li Xunhuan, be so worthy of being so favored by you?” Seeing her say this, Xiang Nan let out a long sigh.

 It is most difficult to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman, let alone a beauty like Sun Xiaohong.

“It’s up to me, Sun Xiaohong, to be able to accompany Daxia Li regardless of my virtues and talents.” Sun Xiaohong said.
