Zhuque immediately asked, "One other guest? Who is that?"
Lu Shanghe said seriously: "After going down from Qianwu Ridge, I saw Brother Xiang. At that time, there was another person beside him, who was waiting for Qi Ning in the brocade style."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was another commotion present.
During the battle of Qianwuling, Qi Ning came forward to deal with the Black Stone Hall. Many people in the sects present at that time witnessed it with their own eyes. At this time, they saw one of them get up and whispered: "Everyone, I am Zhuge Changting of the Golden Sword Alliance, here we can make a proof."
Many people looked over, but the observatory was very high, and many people were blocked from their sight. They only heard the sound but could not see the person. However, Qi Ning could hear it clearly and saw Baihu whispering: "This is the leader of the Zhuge Alliance of the Golden Sword Alliance, and everyone has naturally heard of it. The leader of the Zhuge Alliance is generous and just, and is the second witness I invited."
Everyone saw a man in brocade clothes coming to the observatory with his long beards floating, and Qi Ning naturally recognized this person, which was Zhuge Changting, the leader of the Golden Sword Alliance.
Zhuge Changting bowed his hand and said loudly: "After coming down from Qianwuling that day, the Sect Masters of the Shenhou Mansion gathered the sect leader of the eight gangs and sixteen sects to convene a meeting. However, the Xiang Gang Master and Jinyi Hou did not attend that time. Before the meeting, I saw Xiang Gang Master and Jinyi Hou together with each other. The two also rode horses away. There were quite a few people who saw it at that time, and even the people from the Shenhou Mansion knew it."
Lu Shanghe nodded and said, "That's right. On the way that day, I met Brother Xiang and Jinyihou together. Lu invited Brother Xiang to visit Yinghe Villa. When Jinyihou was present, I naturally invited Brother Jinyihou. Jinyihou did not refuse, so he went to my Yinghe Villa with Xiang brothers."
Someone from the audience immediately said sternly: "Help him say he has read the wrong person, is it just a waiter for Jinyi?"
Lu Shanghe shouted: "My brothers and I haven't seen each other for many years, so I naturally drank and chatted with each other. Jinyi Hou was very happy at Bizhuang. They stayed in Bizhuang for two days. Lu remembered that Xiang's brother suddenly wanted to leave that day and said that there was something important to do with Jinyi Hou. I repeatedly tried to keep him and told his brother that there was an urgent matter that could not be delayed, so I didn't force him too much." Speaking of this, he sighed and said: "If I knew that something would happen later, I would not let him leave no matter what."
Elder Zhuque stared at Lu Shanghe and asked, "Master Lu, what happened later?"
"After they left, at dusk the next day, someone went to Yinghe Villa to report the news, saying that there was something important to me and asked me to go to Xinping." Lu Shanghe looked solemn: "The person who came is a disciple of the Beggars' Sect. I asked what happened. The disciple did not say anything in detail, but only said that it had something to do with Brother Xiang. At that time, I felt a little uneasy, so I rushed to Xinping overnight. When I arrived at the branch of the Beggars' Sect, I saw Brother Xiang who had passed away!" After saying the last two sentences, my eyes were red and my voice was even more choked.
Elder Baihu then said: "The gang leader and the gang leader are sworn brothers. Both of them are people who value love and friendship. Before the gang leader dies, they want to meet the gang leader. I send someone to go there immediately. When the gang leader arrives, the gang leader is seriously injured and has died."
The audience was filled with righteous indignation for a moment, and someone asked loudly: "Master Lu, did that Jinyi Hou kill the gang leader?"
"The gang leader said that he believed in the wrong person before his death, so he must refer to his surname Qi." Someone said angrily: "It is hard to say it clearly, and he is worried that our Beggars' Sect will have a conflict with the court."
Lu Shanghe bowed and said, "Lu dare not say that he is related to the Jinyi Hou. Lu just informed everyone of the facts about what happened in the past two days. If there is no evidence, Lu dares not add fuel to the fire and talk nonsense."
Baihu said in a deep voice: "The gang leader was evasive before his death and did not say the person's name. Naturally, he had thought. If it was an ordinary person, the gang leader would not have any reason to conceal it for him. The gang leader concealed the person's name because that person was not easy to deal with. Brothers, the gang leader is the gang leader of my Beggars' Sect. He was harmed by others. No matter what the other party is, we will not give up."
Elder Zhuque frowned and said, "Elder Baihu, what do you mean is that killing the opponent who helps, besides the Black Lotus Sect, Jinyi Hou is involved in it?"
"Elder Zhuque, do you have to say more about this?" Baihu said hatefully: "The matter is already very clear. The gang leader hurriedly left Yinghe Villa that day, because of the Jinyi Hou. The gang leader was chivalrous. He was deceived by the Jinyi Hou and had a good relationship with him. Who knew that the Jinyi Hou and the Black Lotus Sect set a trap and killed the gang leader."
Elder Zhuque said seriously: "Elder Baihu, I am forgiving that the Beggars' Sect is the largest gang in the world, and the Jinyi Hou is one of the four hereditary marquis of the court. It is extraordinary to involve such matters. If there is no sufficient evidence, you must not make a statement easily." After a pause, he continued: "The Jinyi Hou is the marquis of the court. Why did he kill the gang leader? What is his motive?"
"Elder Zhuque, please forgive Lu for saying frankly that in Qianwuling, why did Jinyi Hou dare to compete with the eight gangs and sixteen sects and also stop us from conquering the Black Stone Hall?" Lu Shanghe looked stern: "What is the relationship between this Jinyi Hou and the Black Lotus Sect?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice from the audience immediately said loudly: "Master Lu, what you said is a bit too much. Originally, we were invited by the Beggars' Sect to come to observe the conference. We should not say much, but since we are involved in the Brocade Hou, Luo has to say a few words."
Qi Ning heard the voice quite familiar, but couldn't remember who it was, but Lu Shanghe smiled and said, "It turned out to be the leader of the Iron Bone Sect. I wonder what Lu said wrong?"
Only then did Qi Ning understand that the person who was speaking was Luo Zhan of the Iron Bone Sect.
Luo Zhan was strong and upright. When he attacked Qianwu Ridge, Luo Zhan was captured by the Black Lotus Sect and later survived his death, but he was very grateful to Qi Ning.
Luo Zhan said in a deep voice: "You said that the Jinyi Hou stopped the Black Stone Hall that day and had something to do with the Black Lotus Sect. Luo naturally disagreed." He sneered: "The attack on Qianwuling that day, many of the eight gangs and sixteen sects were captured by the Black Lotus Sect's tricks and were captured as prisoners. Luo was also one of the prisoners. This is naturally a shameful thing, but if you want to make it clear today, you naturally don't care about these faces. Luo remembers that after we were captured, many people didn't care about the life or death of us. They wanted to attack the Black Rock Hall so that we could burn our prisoners and the Black Lotus Sect's jade."
No one around spoke.
Luo Zhan continued: "That day, Jinyihou sneaked into the Black Stone Hall, trying to secretly rescue us, but he was alone and powerless. He was helpless. He reached an agreement with the Black Sect to let the Black Sect let us go, and the eight gangs and sixteen sects retreated down the mountain. However, since this is the case, there are still many people who have taken advantage of the situation and wanted to see us die in the Black Stone Hall. Jinyihou was forced to compete in the battle in order to make us survive."
When Qi Ning saw Luo Zhan defending him in front of everyone, he was quite grateful and thought that there were still some loyal men in the world.
Lu Shanghe smiled and said, "What Master Luo said is of course very reasonable, but if the Jinyi Hou took action just to save you, Lu did not believe it. As far as Lu knew, Jinyi Hou brought the Black Lotus Sect poison to the capital and took the initiative to help the Black Lotus Sect clear the crime. But as we all know, the root cause of the epidemic in the capital was from the Sect Yi, how could this matter have nothing to do with the Black Lotus Sect? Just waited for the Shenhou Mansion to take everyone to encircle and suppress the Black Lotus Sect. Jinyi Hou mediated from it, saying that if you are not afraid of offending people, Lu would rather believe that Jinyi Hou's actions were to protect the Black Lotus Sect."
Elder Zhuque immediately frowned and said, "Master Lu, you said that Jinyihou wanted to protect the Black Lotus Sect. I'm afraid this is inappropriate. The Shenhou Mansion led eight gangs and sixteen factions to attack Qianwuling. Jinyihou was also a member of the imperial court, so why did he sing a stage play with the Shenhou Mansion?"
Lu Shanghe said loudly: "The people in our world act openly and never sneakily, so they always speak straightforwardly. This time, Lu was so sad that he was killed by his brother. Whenever he was involved in this matter, Lu would never be vague. He had to explain everything clearly. Everyone, when the imperial court attacked Xichuan and conquered the King of Shu, everyone should still remember that the general led the army was the Jinyi Hou Qi's family."
Luo Zhan said in a deep voice: "So what?"
"Don't you know that the Miao people played an extremely important role when the Jinyi Hou was able to fight to Chengdu." Lu Shanghe said solemnly: "It was from that time that the Qi family and the Miao people had friendship. As far as I know, some Miao people even went to the capital to pay special visits to the Jinyi Hou."
Luo Zhan said: "Master Lu, what do you mean is that because Jinyi Qi's family has friendship with the Miao people, and the Black Lotus Sect was built by the Miao people, so Jinyi Hou deliberately protected them? He laughed and said: "Master Lu, you should know that only a very small number of Miao people who helped Jinyi Hou attack Xichuan back then were only a small number of Miao people. The Miao family is known as the seventy-two caves, and the seventy-two caves are not a solid piece. Could it be that because a small number of Miao people helped Qi's family, all Miao people have friendship with the Qi family? The Black Lotus Sect is located in the western frontier and does not show mountains or water in the rivers and lakes. It is indeed built by Miao people. But as far as I know, the Black Lotus Sect is actually not very close to the 72 caves of Miao people. In fact, most Miao people don't even know the existence of the Black Lotus Sect."
Someone next to him said, "This is true. If Jinyi Hou is a friend of the Miao people, he protects the Black Lotus Sect, which is really unreasonable."
Elder Zhuque had already said: "We don't have to argue whether Jinyi Hou has a friendship with the Miao family. We just need to make a clear move now. If Jinyi Hou joins forces with the Black Lotus Sect to harm the leader, what is the motive? Why do they do this? If we can't tell the reason, it will be difficult for people to convince them."
Lu Shanghe said: "If Lu was not wrong, there were two reasons for the Black Lotus Sect to kill Brother Xiang." After a pause, he said: "The eight gangs and sixteen factions attacked Qianwu Ridge, and they almost had no choice but to escape from death. However, the Black Lotus Demon suffered this setback. Do you think they would give up? Everyone knows that the Black Lotus Sect leader is one of the five great masters in the world. His nest was almost destroyed by us. Can he swallow this tone?"
Elder Zhuque frowned and said, "Why is Master Lu saying that the Black Lotus Sect Master killed the gang leader to avenge him?"
"This is one of them, but the most important reason is another reason." Lu Shanghe said seriously-
