"I don't understand what you are talking about."

Zhou Pan's face quickly returned to normal and he asked calmly.

However, everyone here is a veteran, how could they not see something fishy.

In the Tai Xing Cart and Horse Company camp, a young man asked his companions in a low voice, "Brother, what gang is Anqing Hall?"

"It's not a gang." The senior brother whispered with a hint of smile, "Chang'an City was the biggest Male Brothel, and Lu Gongyuan was its leader."

"Oh~"

The young man suddenly understood and looked at Zhou Pan with a strange expression on his face.

The so-called Male Brothel is a male prostitute hall.

People who like masculine styles and have the habit of cutting off sleeves have existed since ancient times, but they are most popular in Beijing and Minzhou, known as "Xiangong of the Capital" and "Minzhong Sworn Brothers".

For example, in the capital, there are famous "Spring Return Hall", "Classics Hall" and other Male Brothel sons. The husband there not only has to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also has to be proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, so appearance is secondary, and his brain is not smart, and his speaking is not good.

West Traveling Beggar Gang, who kidnaps people, and people from all over the world, once they get a young boy with outstanding appearance and good conversation, they will send him to Male Brothel, and the selling price is higher than those of famous prostitutes.

But that is a quirk of the aristocracy, and ordinary people, especially those in the world who eat meat and drink wine in large quantities, do not think highly of it.

I heard that Zhou Pan and Male Brothel were related, and everyone looked at Divine Capital as something wrong.

It seems that this Zhou Monkey is indeed childless...

However, this matter is just a hobby. They could only make a few jokes while drinking and chatting. How could it have anything to do with Li Hu's death?

In the hall, seeing Zhou Pan denying it, Li Yan narrowed his eyes, suppressed his cold murderous intent, and said in a deep voice, "There is no airtight wall in the world. Do you think this matter can be hidden?"

"At that time, my father took on an errand to search for the abducted young master. Many clues pointed to the Anqing Hall, but nothing was found."

"It was you who colluded with Lu Gongyuan and sent someone to secretly inform you, asking my father to go to the brothel to look for the informant. As a result, he was killed."

"Afterwards, you hurried from Xianyang to Chang'an, cooperated with the Yamen to search Anqing Hall, and hunted down Lu Gongyuan. Not long after, even the brothel caught fire for no reason, and all the brothel sisters inside died tragically."

"Do you think that by killing people and silencing them, there will be no proof of the matter?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.

Zhang YuanShang The old man's face turned gloomy and he slapped the table hard, "Zhou Monkey, so it turns out that this is still happening. I'm sorry that my brother Li has lost his reputation and won't be allowed to Parthia for ten years."

"Damn it, if you don't explain this clearly, we won't finish today!"

Even Gang Leader Han, the one from Cao Gang, shook his head and said, "Zhou Pan, if this is really the case, the method is too despicable. With so many lives lost, you still want to retire peacefully. There is no such good thing."

Others are also filled with indignation.

Li Yan stood in the hall, with murderous intent unable to hide his eyes.

All this information was secretly given to him by Guan WanChe just now. Although he didn't know why the other party didn't clarify it himself, looking at Zhou Pan's face, it was most likely true.

Thinking of the depression in his grandfather's heart all these years, he felt evil fire rushing into his heart and wished he could immediately go forward and chop off this Zhou Pan dog's head.

Facing the crowd's questioning, Zhou Pan was silent for a while, finally sighed, shook his head and said, "I can only say that I was following Chang'an Prefecture Commandery Commandant Office's order to cooperate with the arrest of Lu Gongyuan. After a long time, Commandery Commandant Office will not pursue this matter again if I say it again."

As he said that, he looked at everyone and said, "Lu Gongyuan's Male Brothel, and that brothel, are all Maitreya Sect's Chang'an's Branch Hall, secretly committing rebellion."

"What?"

Everyone in the hall looked shocked.

You can't lie about this kind of thing.

When there was a severe drought in Guanzhong more than ten years ago, the Maitreya Cult took the opportunity to cause chaos and instigated villagers to rebel. Not only did they kill officials, but they also forced other people and people in the world to participate. If they didn't agree, they would set fire to the village and massacre it.

People in the world are naturally wary of the imperial court.

But Maitreya Sect used heresies to confuse people's minds, and more people died because of them.

Zhou Pan sighed, looked at Li Yan, shook his head and said, "This matter is related to the secrets of the imperial court. I dare not say more. I can only say that your father was unlucky and ran into a den of thieves!"

"Stop being careless!"

Li Yan sneered, "Maitreya Sect let's talk about the matter separately. If you hadn't deliberately seduced him, how could my father have been ambushed?"

Zhou Pan seemed to be a little impatient, and shook his head with a slightly gloomy expression. "That's what happened. Your father committed suicide on his own. Do you still want me to stop him?"

"Even if you file a complaint with the Yamen, it has nothing to do with me!"

He acknowledged this matter in words, but he looked like he didn't care about me.

Seeing the murderous intent in Li Yan's eyes, Zhou Pan raised his neck with a sinister look in his eyes, "If you are dissatisfied, you can ask me for justice today."

"Fart!"

Old Master Zhang became angry and slowly stood up and said, "Zhou Monkey, you are bullying young people, right? Come on, let me ask for justice for him!"

Bang!

At this moment, there was a loud noise outside the hall.

I saw several disciples flying over, rolling on the ground, bleeding from the corners of their mouths, crawling back, and shouting, "Master, someone broke into the door!"

The sudden change disrupted the atmosphere in the hall.

Everyone turned to look and saw that the disciples of the Zhou Family Martial Arts School were flying out of the door one by one, as if they were hit by wild beasts, and fell into the courtyard, screaming in agony.

Then, two people slowly walked towards the courtyard gate.

There was a young man, about twenty years old, wearing ordinary coarse black clothes. Most of his face was covered with burnt scars. He was short and stocky, and he was holding a "bone" in his hand.

The weapon Guduo is similar to a hammer, but it has a long handle with a small iron ball in front. Tang Era is a torture staff, and the latter is a ceremonial guard. It is commonly known as golden melon, also known as guā zhūn.

According to the shape, it is divided into Garlic Bulb Guduo and Caltrop Guduo.

The double hammers of the generals in the drama are all made of paper. In reality, on the battlefield, except for those who are born with supernatural powers and masters, few people can use them. After all, they are too laborious, and even if they can swing them, they cannot fight for a long time.

So for a real war hammer, the front hammer is not big.

The Guduo thing is smaller, Martial Power is powerful, and easy to hide, so there are many users in the world.

If an ordinary person hits it, the bluestone can crack.

Behind him, followed a middle-aged man in a green cloak, holding a Tiger Brace in his right hand and a "Healing the World" long banner in his left hand, looking like a Leather Gate doctor.

He has an ordinary face, gray hair on his temples, and looks calm and leisurely when he walks, as if he is wandering in a garden, and he is obviously here to suppress the enemy.

When Old Master Zhang saw this, his pupils shrank, he sat down slowly and sneered, "Zhou Monkey, it seems you have more than one victim."

Zhou Pan's face also turned ugly, and he said in a deep voice, "Who are you, and why are you here in my house?"

The young man turned the bone in his hand and mocked in a hoarse voice. "Hey, isn't it Washing Hands in a Golden Basin?"

"Why, after settling the Jianghu gangs, we idiots like us can't come to ask for an explanation?"

Zhou Pan looked puzzled, "I don't remember having any grudge against you."

"Of course you don't remember."

The young man smiled like Fierce Ghost, and turned to look at everyone in the hall, "You people in the world of martial arts use force to show off your violence, bully the weak and fear the strong, and offend your fellow martial artists. It doesn't matter if the common people die, right?"

Zhou Pan's triangular eyes narrowed slightly, "If you want to ask for an explanation, you have to make it clear."

The young man laughed like a night owl, "Ten years ago, in Bazi Village on the outskirts of Chang'an, a few of your disciples broke into my house to search under the pretext of looking for bandits."

"When they saw my elder sister's beauty, they became jealous and insulted me. When my parents tried to stop them, they beat them to death and then set them on fire. They said it was a den of thieves. You didn't expect a ghost like me to survive, right?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately understood and shook their heads.

Zhou Monkey was not strict with his subordinates, and he was conniving and covering up. He did a lot of bad things in Xianyang City. It is not surprising that he did something like this.

Zhou Pan was silent for a moment, "I really don't know about this matter. Every injustice has its owner and its debtor has its owner. You can just go to them. What are you going to do with me?"

The young man chuckled and said, "Don't worry, they are already dead. I skinned them alive, even the whole family. Tsk tsk, the skins are full of resentment and they were sold at a good price."

"No, they'll come to see you and accompany them for a ride!"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other in shock.

Revenge and extermination of the family, the method is so bloody, this is no longer something that ordinary Jianghu Rules can solve, the government has to intervene.

Sure enough, Guan WanChe stood up and waved his hand. Yamen Runner immediately removed their crossbows from their backs and shouted, "Stop and let us go, otherwise we will not kill you!"

"Shoot to kill?"

The young man's face was scarred and ferocious, his eyes were crazy, "You eagle dogs, as expected, this world is full of monsters, the sky is dark, you should be punished!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions suddenly changed.

These words clearly have the intention of rebellion...

At this time, Li Yan had a solemn face, staring at the old man behind him.

He smelled a familiar scent from the other party.

It's the Cockscomb Snake I've seen before!
