Chapter 044 Strange Results

"What? Cheating?"

"Impossible? Is it a serious punishment for cheating?"

"I said how did Lou Deshui get the first place? It turned out to be cheating! It's so shameful."

"It must be cheating. Loude's performance was so poor at his level, how could he get the first place?"

…………

Manager Liu's words were like stabbing a hornet's nest. There was a huge noise from the crowd watching below. Although the powerful people sitting on the stage in Maple Tree Town did not speak, their expressions also changed subtly.

The mayor raised his hands, pressed down, and raised his voice and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. Please keep quiet until you understand the situation."

Seeing that the onlookers in the audience quieted down, the mayor threw the wood at Manager Liu and asked in a deep voice: "Barrior Liu, do you think Lou Deshui cheats with evidence? Everyone knows that cheating is a serious crime. Cheating will naturally be severely punished, and those who falsely accused will also be severely punished. You must be cautious."

Manager Liu glanced at Meng Xiang, who was standing not far away, and found that his expression was calm as ever. He gritted his teeth and said calmly: "Master, if there is no conclusive evidence, I will never frame Lou Deshui."

"Oh, since Manager Liu said there is conclusive evidence, you can take out the evidence. Everyone can listen to it, and naturally they can distinguish the authenticity."

Manager Liu waved behind him and shouted loudly: "Changfu Changshou, you two come here and tell the mayor and the villagers present what happened. Remember that you must tell the truth, and you will never allow any lies."

The Changfu and Changshou brothers stood up, looked at Meng Xiang quietly, and began to tell the story. Although they didn't speak very fluently because of their nervousness at the beginning, everyone could understand what they were talking about.

When they heard that Lou Deshui not only snatched other people's prey, but also hit people, the onlookers were very angry, especially when Changfu Changshui ignored the cold, untied his clothes and exposed the unfading purple scars, someone in the crowd had already scolded Lou Deshui.

As soon as the Changfu and Changshou brothers finished speaking, a middle-aged fat man jumped up from the chair, gasping for breath in his nose, shouting loudly: "Lie! You two are lying! Everyone should be very clear about what a white-headed golden eagle is. Shooting one is very difficult, and shooting three at a time. Who believes it? If Meng Xiang is really so powerful, why did he get a second place?" After saying that, he snorted in his nose and turned his butt back on the chair, making the chair creaking sound.

At this time, there was also a noise from the crowd below, and the voices supporting Lou Deshui were revealed.

The mayor signaled everyone to calm down again and turned around and asked, "Shopkeeper Liu, do you have anything to say about Captain Lou's doubts?"

Manager Liu curled his lips and showed a disdainful expression: "I, Liu Futong, disagree with Captain Lou's statement. It is difficult to shoot a white-headed and golden eagle, but it does not mean that it cannot be shot. If we say that our people who are lying for this reason is not necessarily too ridiculous, right?"

The mayor stroked the beard on his chin, turned around, and asked a rich, white-haired old man behind him: "Boss Yang, what do you think of Manager Liu? Do you also believe that Meng Xiang can shoot three white-headed golden eagles at one time?"

The old man with white hair stood up, bowed to the mayor and said calmly: "Report to the mayor, I believe in my subordinates, and I believe they will not lie."

Captain Lou jumped up again and sneered at Boss Yang: "Yang Juyuan, I think you are crazy about being the first place? If my son gets the first place, you just accused him of cheating. Your methods are too despicable, right?"

"Captain Lou Wuliang, why do you have to be so angry? It's not true or false. The mayor and all the villagers have sharp eyes. Will everyone still wrong your son?" Yang Juyuan still seemed tepid.

"Anyway, my son didn't cheat, what am I afraid of?" Lou Wuliang glared at Manager Liu fiercely and sat back on the chair.

The mayor narrowed his eyes, glanced at everyone on and off the stage, pondered for a moment, and said, "Since both sides have different opinions, then we will call both parties to the stage and let them explain the whole story in front of you."

Then, the mayor began to call on Meng Xiang and Lou Deshui to let them go to the stage. Meng Xiang and Lou Deshui both walked onto the color platform. After everyone saw Meng Xiang's appearance clearly, another commotion occurred in the crowd. Some thought he was too young and unlikely to shoot a white-headed eagle, while others thought he was a hero and a young man.

On the stage, when Meng Xiang and Lou Deshui faced each other, Meng Xiang was able to keep calm, but Lou Deshui couldn't do it. Especially when he recognized him, he was even more frowning at him.

The mayor looked at the two young men standing in front of him and smiled slightly: "Both are both young heroes from our Maple Tree Town. I hope you two can resolve this misunderstanding."

Meng Xiang did not respond to the mayor's smile and bowed his hand: "Master, I feel it is necessary to bring the three white-headed golden eagles to the stage now. In this way, when I confront Lou Deshui and I, we can also prove it on them. You must know that prey can sometimes speak."

After hearing Meng Xiang's words, a light flashed in the mayor's eyes: What a smart child! He knew that Lou Wuliang and Lou Deshui had power and power in Fengshu Town, and could easily get in touch with white-headed golden eagles. He could destroy the evidence when he presented evidence, or forge evidence in favor of Lou Deshui. Now he took them to the platform as needed to provide evidence, and in full view of everyone, they would never have the chance to take action.

Looking at Meng Xiang's calm eyes and calm attitude, the mayor muttered in his heart: Could it be that Meng Xiang really shot and killed the three white-headed golden eagles?

However, in the face of Meng Xiang's reasonable request, he could not refuse, so he waved to two people and asked them to take three white-headed golden eagles to the stage. During this process, he quietly observed the expressions of Lou Wuliang and Lou Deshui and found that they seemed a little restless, which made the doubts in his heart worse.

Soon, the three birds with wingspans exceeded one foot, with white heads and black bodies, and faintly golden light were carried onto the platform, but they were covered with white cloth as soon as they were put down.

The mayor smiled: "I covered the body of the golden eagle to be more fair. I think you will not blame me for being troublesome. Now you can state it. First of all, I would like to ask, where are the fatalities of the three golden eagles? You don't need to say it directly, just write it on paper."

As he said that, someone handed Meng Xiang and Lou Deshui each with a piece of paper and a pen dipped ink. Neither of them hesitated, grabbed the pen and waved it.

The mayor looked at the two chapters of the words on the paper, but there were not many words on one piece of paper. The words on the paper were iron-painted silver hooks: one left eye and two right eyes, both of which were penetrated. It was Meng Xiang's.

The words on the other piece of paper are much worse, and they are crooked: all three of them were shot in the eye. It was Lou Deshui's.

The mayor spread the two zhang white paper and said loudly: "Meng Xiang and Lou Deshui's answers are basically the same. The fatal injuries of the white-headed golden eagle written are all eyes." As he said that, he showed the words on the white paper to everyone on the stage. Immediately, the person in charge of the inspection announced the result in public, which was indeed eyes.

The mayor handed the paper in his hand to a servant, looked at Meng Xiang and smiled and said, "Since the answers of the two children are the same, can you provide other evidence?"

Before Meng Xiang and Lou Deshui could speak, Manager Liu protested: "It's unfair. Lou Deshui was holding a white-headed golden eagle, and he naturally knew where their fatal injuries were. Meng Xiang was able to answer the questions raised to you, which proves that the white-headed golden eagle was shot by him. If he hadn't shot and hadn't seen a white-headed golden eagle, how could he know that the fatal injuries of the white-headed golden eagle were eyes?"

After hearing what Manager Liu said, the onlookers in the audience began to express their support for Meng Xiang. The mayor turned his head and looked at Lou Deshui: "Lou Deshui, do you have anything to say about Manager Liu's doubts?"

"This...this..." Lou Deshui also saw sweat on his forehead, but he quickly returned to peace. "Shopkeeper Liu is talking nonsense. They said just now that they had a dispute with me when they were snatching my prey. They had seen the white-headed golden eagle. The surname Meng knew that the fatal injury of the white-headed golden eagle must have been told by them. Therefore, Liu's reasoning cannot be established."

The mayor pondered for a moment: "What Lou Deshui said also makes some sense. Then let go of this. You two continue to provide evidence."

Lou Deshui looked at Meng Xiang with a hint of provocation in his eyes, but Meng Xiang was unmoved at all: "Master, I have another evidence. Before I shoot my prey, I will apply sumac sap on the arrow shaft. If you ask the mayor to check the wounds of some white-headed golden eagles, you will understand it naturally."

Suluo sap is the pigment that the contestants marked the prey they hunted. Meng Xiang applied the suluo sap on the arrow shaft purely just in case, but now it has become the key to winning.

This is also an important reason why he knew that the three white-headed golden eagles were not snatched back in time after Lou Deshui was snatched away. He wanted to stay in front of everyone to expose his face and give him a fatal blow.

After revealing this key evidence, Meng Xiang first observed the reactions of Lou Wuliang and Lou Deshui and his son, but to his surprise, the reactions of the two were completely different.

Lou Wuliang seemed to have been stabbed, and the blood on his face faded away as pale as paper. He was like a ball that was blown away, lying limply on the chair, while Lou Deshui did not respond. On the contrary, there was a sneer in his eyes.

The mayor's face also became serious. He found several of the most experienced old hunters and asked them to check them together, but Meng Xiang was surprised: there were no traces of sumac sap on the wounds of the three white-headed golden eagles.
