It's just that the public sentiment is certainly very angry.
But under the inherently strict hierarchy of Tianxuan Mountain, no one dared to speak out at this time.
The expression on Ma Yingjie's face became increasingly proud.
He grinned: "What matters in this world is evidence. It's not just someone's words or some cleverness that can turn black and white upside down."
As he spoke, he looked at Chu Qingxiao again with cold eyes: "Chu Qingxiao, is that your name?"
"If you want to falsely accuse me today, I will take it as a misunderstanding and won't argue with you. But you have insulted my son's reputation, which is a big taboo!"
"Later, I have to deal with various matters that were delayed due to your nonsense today, so I don't want to argue with you for the time being. But after this, just wait for me to settle accounts with your queen!"
As he said that, he looked at Lu Sandao who was standing aside, cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Chief Lu, I, Ma Yingjie, will definitely keep my word on the fine wines I promised you! But one code means the other, and today, Governor Lu's investigation is unclear.
, I will also report to the Ming Ming Sect if I listen to the slander from the outer sect. The sect is free to make up its own mind about right and wrong. I also ask Lu Zhenshou not to blame me for being merciless."
Probably because he felt that he had a chance to win, Ma Yingjie at this moment even dared to say such sarcastic and threatening words to Lu Sandao.
He knew very well that although Lu Sandao had a vicious reputation, he was by no means the kind of guy who would kill people at will.
At this moment, he was self-sufficient and had no faults to follow, so naturally he was not so afraid of Lu Sandao.
What's more, now that his revenge has been avenged, he doesn't have so many worries in his heart.
Chu Qingxiao looked at the man in front of him with cold eyes. There was no anger in his eyes like Yue Jian and others.
He just looked at Ma Yingjie with some pity.
"Lord Lu."
"Lu Huan was not killed by Zhu Renzhao." He said calmly.
Ma Yingjie was stunned when he heard this, and the smile on his face faded at that moment, but the next moment, he became vigilant.
The young man in front of him tried to anger him with his words one after another, which made him almost exposed several times. Ma Yingjie, who had suffered several losses in succession, naturally did not want to be fooled again.
He sneered and said: "I told you, don't bother me anymore if you don't have evidence. You can't frame a crime like murder on me with just a few words."
Chu Qingxiao, who seemed to have failed his plan again, still showed no sign of anger. He continued: "Master Lu should really want to know who the real culprit was who killed Mr. Lu, right?"
"Although, in my opinion, it would not be a pity for a bastard like Lu Huan to die a thousand times. But I do sympathize with Mr. Lu."
"Well... I can't say it's sympathy. To be precise, I understand your anger and compassion as a father over the death of his son."
"But Master Lu, have you ever thought that if you had been less indulgent and doting, maybe your son would not have become such a domineering and selfish person? And he would not have suffered the consequences of being killed?"
At this time, Chu Qingxiao's tone was no longer competitive, but rather sincere.
"I don't need you to ask me to educate my son like this!" Ma Yingjie didn't appreciate it. He snorted and retorted: "Don't play this kind of tender drama again. I'll warn you one last time. I can't provide any evidence.
Just get out of here!"
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude! According to the rules of Tianxuan Mountain, if you interfere with the official affairs of the Sword Master Hall, even if Lu Zhen is guarding you, I, Ma Yingjie, will never tolerate it!"
After saying this, Ma Yingjie's whole body was filled with murderous intent, and he had obviously completely lost interest in continuing to chat with Chu Qingxiao.
"Master Lu, please be patient. In fact, although I don't like Master Lu, I understand your feelings as a father, so I want to make a deal with you."
Ma Yingjie frowned: "What deal?"
"I tell you who is the real murderer of Lu Huan, and you admit the fact that you killed Zhu Renzhao, which can be considered as completing your final redemption. What do you think?" Chu Qingxiao said.
Ma Yingjie was stunned when he heard this, and then he laughed angrily.
"Are you kidding me?"
"I will investigate the real culprit who killed my son myself, and I will not admit to such an unfounded crime just because of your casual words!"
Ma Yingjie was well aware of the principle of gaining wisdom from every experience, and did not respond to anything Chu Qingxiao said at this moment.
Chu Qingxiao said: "This is not so much a transaction, but actually an opportunity I gave you."
"I already have the ironclad evidence that your Excellency killed Zhu Renzhao."
"I just want to give Mr. Lu a chance to recognize his sins out of pity."
"Does Mr. Lu really not want to live with me?"
"Iron proof?" Ma Yingjie sneered, obviously not believing Chu Qingxiao's words: "If you have evidence, then show it, don't use such words to provoke me again!"
Chu Qingxiao sighed at this moment, and said with a somewhat annoyed expression: "Then it will be as Mr. Lu wishes."
Chu Qingxiao looked very serious, which made everyone around him murmur inwardly.
Not to mention them, even Yue Jian Chu Zhaozhao and others looked at Chu Qingxiao with strange expressions. They were almost involved in Chu Qingxiao's entire plan. If Chu Qingxiao had ironclad evidence, how could he have planned it in the courtyard for so long in the first place?
At this time, they couldn't tell whether Chu Qingxiao was still supporting him or if he really had something to rely on.
If it was the former, they felt that since Ma Yingjie was already on alert now, it was probably impossible for Ma Yingjie to be fooled.
If it was the latter, they really couldn't imagine when Chu Qingxiao had obtained such irrefutable evidence.
Chu Qingxiao didn't seem to feel the worries of everyone. At this moment, he turned his head and looked at the four disciples he had selected before, and said: "These four people were the ones who helped Master Lu beat Zhu Renzhao into a move the night before yesterday. They tortured enough
They were accomplices for two hours, right? In the end, they were the ones who dumped Zhu Renzhao’s body under Master Lu’s order.”
The faces of the four disciples changed slightly when they heard this, but they still retorted: "Chu Qingxiao, don't be slanderous. We never saw Zhu Renzhao yesterday!"
Chu Qingxiao ignored this, just turned around and continued to look at Ma Yingjie, and asked: "Didn't you think carefully about it? Last night, it was the four of them who brought Zhu Renzhao to your courtyard, and it was the four of them who brought Zhu Renzhao to your courtyard.
There were no other people involved in the whole process of dumping the corpse, so how could I recognize them at a glance and pick them out from a group of hundreds of disciples?"
This question actually bothered Ma Yingjie. He really didn't understand how Chu Qingxiao knew about this.
But admitting it at this time is tantamount to admitting guilt. Of course, Ma Yingjie cannot be that stupid. He said solemnly: "They are just ordinary disciples in the Sword Master Hall. There is no coincidence. Chu Qingxiao, this is not an ironclad proof."
Chu Qingxiao shook his head: "Sir, you are really stupid."
"No wonder even Zhu Renzhao couldn't see through the drama of first pretending to try to get away with the crime, and then deliberately telling the truth to portray himself as the murderer."
Chu Qingxiao's lament sounded somewhat incomprehensible to others, but as the person involved, Ma Yingying and the four disciples, their expressions changed. If Chu Qingxiao knew about their dumping of corpses, Chu Qingxiao might have bumped into him by chance.
At that time, only a few of them knew how Zhu Renzhao was "revealed". It seemed quite strange that Chu Qingxiao could even talk about it...
"What...what do you want to say!" Ma Yingjie felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he still forced himself to stare at Chu Qingxiao and asked.
Chu Qingxiao also looked at Ma Yingjie at this moment and said, "Don't you understand, sir?"
"One of them found Mr. Lu after yesterday's incident and told Lu Zhenshou the whole story. With his witness, I can clearly know everything that happened yesterday.
"
"What I did just now was just to give Mr. Lu a chance."
Ma Yingjie was shocked when he said this. He turned his head to look at the four people, only to see that they all lowered their heads at this moment.
It looked like he had a ghost in his heart and was deliberately avoiding Ma Yingjie's gaze.
Ma Yingjie's face suddenly turned ugly, but what he didn't know was that the moment Chu Qingxiao said these words, Lu Sandao had secretly mobilized the power in his body to wrap the bodies of the four disciples and let them move.
No.
If Ma Yingjie could step forward and lower his head to take a look, he would definitely find that the faces of the four disciples were full of pain at this moment.
"No...impossible! They are all the disciples I brought out with my own hands. There is no way they can betray...they can never frame me!" Ma Yingjie said loudly, but there was already a look of panic on his face.
Chu Qingxiao's expression was calm at this moment. He did not dwell on this topic anymore, but spoke slowly.
"At three quarters of the hour, you tied Zhu Renzhao to an iron pillar, piled firewood underneath, and burned the iron pillar to a boil. Zhu Renzhao was burned for half a quarter of an hour. His back was burned to a bloody pulp, and he passed out.
In the past, at that time, he insisted that he was not the one who killed him."
"Master Lu injected Zhengyang Qi into his body to revive him, and then used his sword to cut his face open again and again. Then Master Lu was not satisfied and cut off one of his arms himself.
Fortunately, the senior brother on the side reminded me, otherwise the angry Master Lu would have killed Zhu Renzhao on the spot, and the torture of the next few hours would not have happened..."
Chu Qingxiao said this with a confident smile on his face.
And that smile made Ma Yingjie's body start to tremble.
He began to believe Chu Qingxiao's words. Just imagine how could Chu Qingxiao know so clearly the details of what happened that night if someone hadn't leaked the secret.
Thinking of this, Ma Yingjie looked at the four disciples with murderous intent in his eyes...
