Chapter 676: First Courtesy, Then Force

In the car at the gate of the Zheng family's residence, Gong Baosen was recounting the past that had been buried for twenty-seven years.

His eyes were filled with memories.

"At that time, I was supposed to deal with this Bo Wugui, but my master brother Ding Lianshan, your uncle, stopped me."

"I remember very clearly that it was snowing heavily outside, and Senior Brother and I gathered around the stove, warming wine, and saying our final goodbyes..." Gong Baosen's eyes were filled with tears.

Looking back on his thoughts and time passing by, he seemed to smell the aroma of wine by the fire again. Master Ding Lianshan stopped him who was about to fight for his life and asked him a question with a smile.

"Haneda, it's easy to escape punishment for murder, to die after being killed, and to support and run a family with your husband. Which one is easier? Which one is more difficult?" Ding Lianshan asked.

"Of course it's easy to kill and be killed; it's hard to support and run a sect." He replied, "If I go here, I will either die or kill people. Fortunately, I still have Senior Brother to support and manage our sect, so I feel at ease." ”

"What a bastard!" Ding Lianshan cursed, "My senior brother is still alive, so it's your turn to be the big one?"

Then he said to him seriously: "Haneda, those who practice martial arts should have a clear mind and not be contaminated by anything, let alone forming gangs and associations with others indiscriminately? We martial artists are the enemy of one person, but you want to do what is the enemy of ten thousand people. Son, you have harmed the sect and yourself."

"I don't know what an alliance is, and I don't know what a revolution is, but I know one thing. When you cross a river, you need to take off your shoes, and wear pants as big as your butt. If a chicken doesn't pee, it's a matter of course. Everyone has his own way, and nothing can be messed up."

"You, you have mixed up too much, and it has become a mess. Do you think you can figure it out clearly? The more people you involve, the more scruples you have. No matter you are alive or dead, it will be difficult to separate yourself from the people you are messing with. . Unlike me, I am alone and have nothing to do with it. I have to handle this matter."

"But Senior Brother..."

"If you call me Senior Brother, there will be no problem. You also said just now that it is easy for me to do this, but it is difficult for you to do it. Without further ado, pour the wine for Senior Brother..."

With a pot of warm wine in his stomach, Ding Lian flew away in the wind and snow from the top of the mountain, grabbed Bo Wugui and killed him with his palm.

From then on, there was no more Eight Diagrams Senior Brother in the world, only Ding Lianshan, the ghost of Guandong.

Two lines of hot tears slowly flowed down, and Gong Baosen said slowly: "Brother has offended both the Zhepeng people and Zhang Yuting. There is no place for him to settle down in the three northeastern provinces. He can only leave. With this departure, the two Seventeen years..."

"That's the day when my master brother left, I took Ma San as my apprentice. He was only eight years old at the time, thin and small, and his head was not as tall as the handlebars." He continued, "Ma San is my master brother's. My nephew has no offspring, so I always treat him as my own son. I took Ma San as my apprentice and have always raised him at home like a son."

"Because I always felt in my heart that I was indebted to Senior Brother, I could not help being tolerant and doting on Ma San, which resulted in his domineering, selfish, and self-centered character. I originally thought of keeping him by my side and giving him a good education, but I Before I even start grinding him, I won’t have another chance..."

"The fault of a son for not teaching his father, the fault of a teacher for not being strict in teaching, and the failure to teach Ma San well are the things I regret most in my life."

"Uncle Master, I don't blame you for San'er's death." Zheng Shanao couldn't help but said solemnly, "This was an accident. I guarantee with my reputation in this life that Geng Liangchen would never do such a thing! He is not a villain who will seek revenge!"

"I don't think it's him, and I don't hope it's him." Gong Baosen said, "He really has no reason to kill Ma San, but what happened today shows something is wrong in his bones."

"Uncle, what do you think is wrong?" Zheng Shanao frowned, "I can call Geng Liangchen and ask him to give you an explanation in person. I can guarantee that as long as you are not satisfied with his explanation, I will definitely let him give it to you. Explain until you are satisfied!”

"Sounds like a good boy." Gong Baosen smiled.

He suddenly changed the topic: "I've seen his martial arts. Shan Ao, let me ask you something. Don't lie and answer me honestly."

He turned his head and stared into Zheng Shanao's eyes: "Did you create this new martial arts concept, or was it created by Geng Liangchen?"

Zheng Shanao was startled and said: "Uncle, I was indeed the one who created it, but Geng Liangchen also contributed a lot..."

"You're a liar!" Gong Baosen suddenly became furious, "If you live three more lifetimes, you won't be able to create a new martial arts based on Western martial arts! If you want to play a trick of deceiving the world and stealing your reputation, don't be afraid of being exposed. Will it be infamy for eternity?”

Zheng Shanao's face turned blue and purple: "Uncle, I'm not..."

"It's not what? Do you think this is your business alone? This is the reputation of a sect! Even the reputation of the Chinese martial arts community!" Gong Baosen shouted sternly, "Those who are obsessed with things dare to covet any fame and wealth! I'm quite old, but I still follow Children are just as ignorant! What I can see at a glance, do you think others can’t see it? If someone exposes you when things get out of hand, I’ll see if you, an old man, will be thrown out of office! Stab in the spine! Shame on you!”

Zheng Shanao was dripping with cold sweat, his face was pale, he clenched his teeth and could not utter a single word.

Gong Baosen said in a slightly slower tone: "It is not easy to create a new martial arts. It requires years of accumulation and continuous improvement. It is from the root and from the bones. This is called new. And I see that your new martial arts takes the essence of various martial arts, with Western boxing and Japanese judo as the core, mixes them together, combines and melts them according to your own characteristics and preferences, and forms your own unique style. This is a martial arts concept, a martial arts concept that can surprise the whole world."

"Your stuff, 10,000 martial artists learn it, and it will look 10,000 different. Only martial artists who have developed their own style can be considered masters."

"Geng Liangchen has his own Dong I only saw him use two or three moves, but he seemed to be very comfortable with it. "

"And you, it seems that you have mixed Baguazhang with new things, but in fact it is just a crude patchwork. You fought with Ma San three times, maybe he was not your opponent three times, but he could easily knock you down the fourth time! Why? Because you have too many flaws! According to your concept, you haven't even reached the level of a master. You are just copying Geng Liangchen and applying it mechanically. In your bones, you still have the foundation of Baguazhang. How can you make me believe that this thing is created by you? "

Zheng Shanao wiped the sweat off his face, his face flushed, and he was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Uncle, I was wrong!" He said in a trembling voice with tears.

Gong Baosen sighed, put his hand on Zheng Shan'ao's shoulder and said: "Shanao, our sect can't stand the torment. I understand your desire to achieve success, but the real thing can't be fake, and the fake thing can't be real. You can't even fool me, how can you fool the masters of various sects? How can you fool the world? How can you fool the bright sun and the iron pen of the Spring and Autumn Period?"

"When you demonstrated to me during the day, I felt something was wrong, so I went to see Geng Liangchen. I wanted to see both his martial arts and his character, but I didn't expect that a difference in one thought would lead to such a tragedy..."

Zheng Shan'ao said miserably: " I harmed San'er!"

"I'm not blaming you for saying this." Gong Baosen shook his head and said in a bleak voice, "I, Gong Yutian, never bother to blame others. Shan'ao, if you really want to leave your name in history, it's enough to be a respected and respected protector."

"My senior brother has a saying, which is rough but true. Today, I will give it to you. Take off the shoes you need to cross the river, and wear pants that are as big as your butt! Do you understand, Shan'ao?"

"Uncle, I understand!" Zheng Shan'ao let out a long breath, as if he had put down a burden, "I'm crazy, I always feel that my life has been mediocre. Wuwei, when he is old, he wants to finish his work. I should never, ever, try to use other people's achievements to finish my own work. "

"Fame and fortune are tempting, but if this thing is done well, as long as you can get involved, you will have fame and fortune, don't be greedy." Gong Baosen said, "I can probably guess why Geng Liangchen gave up the fame to you, because he is too young, and he is not qualified to do this thing well. He can't push this magnificent trend, so he pulls you as a shield. But he can give up this great reputation, which is also very courageous. "

"Master uncle has a keen eye," Zheng Shanao laughed at himself, "I and Geng Liangchen, I talked about this matter before, and his original words are indeed similar to what you just said. "

"That's right." Gong Baosen said, "I took over the Chinese Martial Arts Association from my senior brother Li Cunyi, and I have always been committed to breaking the restrictions of the door and promoting Chinese martial arts. This set of integrated concepts has given me direction and hope. "

"If this set of things is really thought of by Geng Liangchen, then this person must be a great talent! But whether he can carry the hope and future of all Chinese martial artists needs to be further investigated. "

"How does the uncle plan to investigate him?" Zheng Shan'ao asked.

"I have to take another look at his martial arts and his character. "Gong Baosen narrowed his eyes and said, "I will build a platform for him. I will ask all the sects to send masters to hold a national martial arts elite competition in Tianjin. I will give Geng Liangchen the opportunity to compete on stage. Whether he can stand out depends on him. "

Zheng Shan'ao was silent and nodded slowly.

Gong Baosen looked at him and said, "Think about your relationship with Geng Liangchen again. Don't let others look down on you."

"Geng Liangchen is young, but he sees things very clearly," Zheng Shan'ao sighed, "He won't look down on me."

Gong Baosen was silent for a while, and said faintly, "Since he sees things so clearly, why couldn't he see that I was testing him, not provoking him?"

Japanese Concession, Haiguang Temple Tetsuo Garrison Army Headquarters.

Nakamura Kotaro looked at Matsumuro Takayoshi in front of him and smiled sincerely.

"Matsumuro-kun, it's great that you can take the initiative to transfer from Peking to help me. Since the death of Sanye-kun, the intelligence work in Tianjin has been stagnant. Because of that incident, I had to suspend my duties and go to Manchuria to accept the questioning of the military. I didn't return to Tianjin until the day before yesterday."

"General Nakamura, I heard that everything is over and the military did not blame you. This is really the best result." Matsumuro Takayoshi said respectfully.

"The Emperor was going to award me the First Class Grand Cordon of the Rising Sun, but now, everything has come to nothing." Nakamura Kotaro said quietly, "This way, my hope of entering the cabinet has been completely lost. Isn't this the biggest punishment for me?"

"..." Matsumuro Takayoshi gave an awkward but polite smile, "This is really the most unfortunate news I have ever heard."

"Stop talking about these unpleasant things." Nakamura Kotaro waved his hand, "Matsumuro-kun, I heard that you took the initiative to be transferred to Jinmen this time just to investigate the truth about Zhang Jingyao's assassination case and Chang Chang's case? You also asked Doi Yuansang issued a military order, is that right? "

"Yes." Matsumuro Takayoshi said seriously, "The key figures involved in these two cases are Liu Haiqing and Geng Liangchen. They are both in Jinmen. The former is still present in the assassination case, and the latter has already He is the recognized murderer of Zhang Jingyao. I think only these two people will give me the answer to Mole’s exposure and what happened to Mr. Sanye and Miss Yunzi.”

"What are you going to do?" Nakamura Kotaro asked in a deep voice.

"Liu Haiqing is now the most popular Zheng Zhixing in Jinling. According to reliable information, he came to Tianjin this time to shoulder the important task of forming a new intelligence department." Takaharu Matsuro said, "This person cannot be touched easily, especially now The public opinion environment has a negative impact on our Zhe Peng It is very unfriendly and under huge diplomatic pressure, we can no longer give Jinling an excuse and be seized by them. Therefore, my idea of ​​​​dealing with this person is to focus on infiltration. I already have a complete plan for this, and The first step of the plan has been implemented perfectly.”

"As for Geng Liangchen... If this person is really the murderer of Zhang Jingyao, then he is a completely dangerous person!" Matsumuro Takaliang took a deep breath, "I will personally meet him to confirm whether he is the person recommended by Jinling." The guise he came out with is still the real murderer.”

"Oh, by the way," Nakamura Kotaro suddenly remembered, "Matsumuro-kun met and talked with the person who killed Zhang Jingyao."

"Yes, so as long as I see Geng Liangchen, I will be sure of this." Matsushi Xiaoliang said.

"Actually, I have already made arrangements to secretly arrest this person." Nakamura Kotaro said, "Maybe you can see him in the prison of Kaiguang Temple tonight."

"It turns out that General Nakamura is already doing this." Takaharu Matsuro was a little surprised. "If Geng Liangchen is really the murderer, his background must be unusual, because he can speak pure Kanto dialect."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Nakamura Kotaro was moved. "In this case, we must capture him alive. I am very curious about who this person is and what his background is."

"I wonder how much power General Nakamura can use to deal with him?" Takaharu Matsumuro hesitated slightly, but still raised his concerns, "This man is an extremely dangerous gangster. It's probably not that easy to capture him alive."

"Of course I know, and I know more information than you." Nakamura Kotaro sneered, "To be honest, I have found his weak spot. I will not arrest him directly, I will fight with him - first be polite and then fight!"
