Chapter 228 It’s hard to tell the truth from the false
Mrs. Meng's words directly plunged the entire scene into deathly silence.
The next moment, there was an uproar.
"What are you talking about, Mrs. Meng?"
"Did she actually establish the Setting Sun Sect by herself?"
"How can this be?"
"I heard that Mrs. Meng's maiden name is Guan Jinqiu. She is a disciple of Xiao Wumei, the Azure Double Sword and the Green Sword. She has an extraordinary background. There is no way she would be involved in a demonic skill like the Eighteen Heaven Demon Record of the Demon Sect."
"But these words were spoken by her herself."
"What on earth is this..."
There was a lot of discussion and whispering in the field.
However, no one took action rashly... Because Mrs. Meng's identity was too special. Even if she admitted that she was responsible for what happened at the Setting Sun Gate, no one present dared to really believe it.
Meng Xiu was the first to speak:
"Madam... you, what are you talking about?
"Is it because the owner of the village died, you, you were so sad that you started talking nonsense?"
Mrs. Meng glanced at Meng Xiu and shook her head gently:
"He is dead, why should the slave family be sad?
"Even though he is sad, it is not excessive... What's more, he is not really dead.
"That turtle with a shrunken head is so scared that whenever something happens, he stuffs his head into his shell and cherishes his life. How could he die?"
"...Madam, please don't talk nonsense."
Meng Xiu said quickly:
"The body of the owner of the village was collected by me myself. How...how could there be any mistake?"
"What do you know again?"
Mrs. Meng chuckled:
"I just faked my death using the method of turtle breathing, and then jumped out of the coffin when no one was around.
"If you don't believe it, go dig out the coffin and see if there is any body inside?"
Meng Xiu was completely stunned when he heard this.
He felt that his limbs were trembling... He looked at Mrs. Meng and then at everyone present.
Lin Wanyi, Duguxiong and others have already begun to be on guard to deal with Mrs. Meng on the top of the building door at any time.
But even now, Meng Xiu still can't go into details:
"But, but everyone...this is not right!!"
He took a deep breath and said:
"Even if all this is really my wife's conspiracy, it doesn't make sense, why would she suddenly jump out and die at this moment?
"Furthermore, even if the village owner really faked his death and escaped, then... where is he now?"
"I probably know this."
Jiang Ran, who had been sitting on a chair watching the excitement, suddenly spoke.
He smiled and picked up a red fruit from one side, and took a bite with a click.
The juice is splashing everywhere and it looks very crisp and delicious.
Just listen to Jiang Ran chuckle and say:
"First of all, she didn't come out to die.
"She is confident that with her own abilities, she can kill us all on the spot.
"What she relied on... was the piano in front of her.
"As for the second point.
"If the prediction is correct, Master Meng Zhuang should already be at the East County Government Office now."
"What?"
Tian Xiwen suddenly stood up: "Dr. Jiang, you asked me to write a letter to Mr. Zhao. Could it be...could it be...Oh, you are confused!!"
Having said this, he turned around and left.
Jiang Ran waved his hand:
"Tian Baotou, at this moment, even if you have wings on your back, you won't be able to fly to Dongjun Fucheng.
"It's better to stay calm and calm..."
"oops!!!"
Tian Xiwen was so angry that he couldn't let it out and stamped his feet fiercely.
I was so anxious that I had to jump high on the spot:
"This, what should I do?
"Mr. Zhao, the safety of one person is at stake. If something goes wrong, what should we do?
"Moreover, even if Meng Huan is not dead, why would he go to Dongjun Mansion?"
"Just now, Mrs. Meng said that this person is a coward. In fact, she is right... It is said that among those who practice the Demon Record of the Eighteen Heavens, the skill of moving stars and changing the sky to kill demons becomes more and more courageous.
The smaller.
"The slightest movement in the grass is a startling bird."
Jiang Ran crossed his legs and said leisurely:
"Mrs. Meng has talked about this today. I estimate that Meng Huan, the master of Meng Village, should be the master of the Setting Sun Clan.
"Mrs. Meng just said that the Setting Sun Sect is your hard work, but she didn't say... you are the master of the Setting Sun Sect.
"The Master of the Setting Sun Sect, because he is timid, does not dare to show up here. He only dares to do what he can do with certainty.
"It's just bullying Mr. Zhao who has no strength to control the chicken."
"...Jiang Daxia, what are you talking about?"
Tian Xiwen felt as if he had heard some fairy tale.
How could there be a person who practiced magic, killed people and was as timid as a mouse?
Moreover, if this is true, wouldn't Master Zhao be more dangerous?
Why isn't Jiang Ran anxious yet?
Jiang Ran ignored Tian Xiwen and looked at Mrs. Meng:
"What I said below is correct?"
"Jiang Daxia is an extraordinary person. The weakness of Yi Sutian's demon-killing skill, which is the least known to others, was discovered by you."
Mrs. Meng nodded:
"You are right, the more powerful you are in the Yisutian Demon Killing Technique, the less courage you will have.
"On Sunset Ping, you rose to prominence in your life, and then came all the way to Ziyue Villa.
"Anyone else would have known about this plan for a long time and would have been waiting calmly for you to come.
"In the end, he was suspicious of something secret, and kept worrying that you would see the clues. The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and the more afraid he became, the more confused he became.
"In the end, he actually took action in advance and started murderous crimes all over the East County Prefecture to enhance his demonic skills!"
As soon as this statement came out, the audience couldn't help but burst into uproar.
There are rumors about the Eighteen Heavenly Demon Records in Jianghu from time to time, but they are all on a small scale.
So far, Tianshangque has collected the most and has the deepest understanding of the martial arts among them.
Ordinary people have never even heard of martial arts such as Shifting Stars and Yi Su Tian Killing Demon Kung Fu, let alone the so-called weaknesses.
When I listen to it today, it feels weird.
It is obviously a magic skill with deep murderous intent, but the deeper you practice it, the less courage you have.
It even affects one's character... What's the point of practicing such martial arts?
"Actually... it's just for this kind of thing?"
Hua Yuerong stood up, forced herself to speak, and said:
"You guys, you killed everyone in my Hua family just... because... Meng Huan was timid and didn't dare to face Brother Jiang directly?
"This...this is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!!"
Jiang Ran quickly stretched out his hand to support Hua Yuerong and said softly:
"Yuerong, don't be too sad.
"This person will definitely die today, and the Setting Sun Sect will definitely pay the price for what they have done.
"Don't worry, I'm here."
"Brother Jiang..."
Hua Yuerong looked up at Jiang Ran, her face full of pity.
Jiang Ran reached out and touched her face, smiling softly:
"Do not worry."
"kindness."
The people next to me felt blind for a moment.
What kind of occasion is this? Are you still here kissing me? How about killing two people to cheer you up?
Tian Xiwen even felt as if his butt was on fire:
"What should I do?"
Tian Miaomiao tilted her head and looked at Jiang Ran, then at Hua Yuerong, and couldn't help but ask:
"Am I going to have to warm the bed for you two from now on?"
"..."
Jiang Ran's mood was suddenly interrupted, and he couldn't help but give Tian Miaomiao a white look.
Turning to look at Mrs. Meng:
"But speaking of which, there is something I would like to ask Mrs. Meng to explain to me."
"you say……"
Mrs. Meng looked at Jiang Ran with squinted eyes.
Jiang Ran said softly:
"Since Mrs. Meng is not the master of the Setting Sun Clan, she must have come from Heavenly Palace.
"But I don't know, who is Madam in the Heavenly Palace?"
Mrs. Meng looked at Jiang Ran in surprise:
"Dr. Jiang, until now, you still look nonchalant?"
"Can caring change the situation?"
Jiang Ran sighed: "If you care, the thing I regret most is lending Jiaowei to you. However, there is one thing. I actually lied to you..."
"Scorched tail!?"
"Could it be that the one in Mrs. Meng's hand is the Jiaowei Guqin?"
"Didn't you say that on Sunset Ping, Xi Zi Ru Jin Man Sheng Ming and Jiao Wei disappeared without a trace? What is going on now?"
Jiang Ran clapped his hands gently:
"Everyone, please be patient."
After everyone listened to him speak, they fell silent, quietly waiting for Jiang Ran's next words.
Jiang Ran took another bite of fruit.
This made everyone gnash their teeth and think, "How long has it been? Are you still in the mood to eat?"
Jiang Ran didn't let them wait too long. After swallowing the mouthful, he said:
"One night before the tea-tasting and piano-appreciation meeting in Sunset Ping, I met Gu Xizhi, the Divine Sword of Heaven, and Jingtan layman from Yaxin Xiaozhu.
"I hope some of you have heard of the reputations of these two."
Indeed, someone has heard of it.
After all, Gu Xizhi and Jingtan layman are not unknown people.
In the past, when I was traveling across the rivers and lakes, I was really at the height of my powers.
However, there are many things going on in this world, and there are so many masters. The masters in the world that were rumored yesterday have only been out of the world for a few years, and have gradually become less popular.
So much so that now Jingtan layman is right next to Jiang Ran, but no one can recognize him.
Jiang Ran paused for a moment and gave everyone some time to react before telling what happened next.
How did Gu Xizhi and the layman Jingtan borrow qin from him, and how did he respond.
Finally he said:
"During the battle of Sunset Ping, Man Shengming and Jiao Wei disappeared without a trace.
"But if you agree to something for others, how can you not count it out?
"Jingtan layman told Jiang that Mrs. Meng is not going to die soon, and her remaining wish in this life is to see Jiaowei.
"In order to satisfy this matter, I have no choice but to come up with a plan, which is to ask someone to make a fake Jiaowei Qin.
"I originally thought that in order to fulfill Mrs. Iban Meng's last wish, but she doesn't really know how to play, I would like to deal with it a little to make her feel at ease.
"But I didn't expect that just after sending it over this morning, Mrs. Meng would appear here holding the piano.
"Hey...Mrs. Meng, what do you want me to say about you?
"This piano is fake, Madam, please don't rely on it.
"Otherwise, your life will not be saved."
When the truth is false, the false is also true.
Yan Wushuang couldn't help but glance at Jiang Ran, secretly wary of this man's mouth.
True and false can be reversed at will in his mouth.
Whoever believes it is a fool.
Then most of the people in the audience believed it.
"There is actually this disconnect between cause and effect."
"I didn't expect that by some combination of circumstances, Mrs. Meng was exposed. Otherwise, we don't know how long we would have been deceived."
"Hey, Daxia Jiang has a kind heart and has done so many things for unrelated people. Who would have thought that that person would secretly plot against him? It's really unreasonable!"
"A sinister human heart leads to the world!"
Mrs. Meng said coldly:
"Now, you still want to lie to me!?"
"it is true."
Jingtan layman took a step forward, sighed and said:
"Everything Jiang Shaoxia said is true."
Wen Rushan raised his eyes and glanced at Jingtan layman, but he didn't take it seriously at first.
Now after taking a closer look, I feel that this Jingtan layman seems a bit familiar.
I can’t help but ask:
"May I ask your Excellency?"
Jingtan layman did not answer, but stared at Mrs. Meng, his eyes were very complicated. He looked at that dreamy face, and his heart was filled with memories of the past.
However, when he thought of Guan Jinqiu in the room, who was poisoned by the flesh and blood of the evil beast, his whole body was filled with murderous intent.
He took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice:
"At this point, this Jiaoweiqin cannot be relied upon by you at all.
"If you just surrender, I'm still willing to give you a good time considering that you are a female prostitute and have such a face.
"Otherwise, you will be cut into pieces and your bones will be reduced to ashes!!"
When Mrs. Meng heard him speak, her original relaxed expression suddenly changed.
She frowned and looked at Jingtan layman:
"Why are you talking to me like that?
"Why can you talk to me like that!!?"
She yelled the second sentence.
For the first time, there was deep uneasiness on his face:
"No, no...it shouldn't be like this...
"That night, that night..."
She looked at Jiang Ran:
"You and Yan Wushuang, you two fell into Meng Huan's trap...
"Although I never expected that trap to do any harm to you, I at least thought it could trap you.
"I didn't expect that in just one day, you would have climbed out of the trap.
"Now, Jingtan layman is so rude... He shouldn't have such an attitude towards me.
"If it were me, no matter what I did wrong, he should forgive me. Why would he want to cut me into pieces and scatter my bones into ashes?
"You...what did you see under that trap?"
"I saw Guan Jinqiu."
Jiang Ran spoke softly:
"Guan Jinqiu left a note, bluntly stating that she discovered that Meng Huan had colluded with Tianshangque and harmed fellow Jianghu people.
"After Meng Huan discovered this matter, she fell into a trap.
"After many years, life was worse than death.
"So, Mrs. Meng, do you understand? A few days ago, I already knew that you are not the real Mrs. Meng.
"Why do you think I still offer Jiaowei both hands in this situation?"
"Fake……"
Mrs. Meng looked down at the Jiaowei Qin in her hand, and shook her head:
"No, it's impossible...it can't be false. I've obviously found out the secret of the piano, and I can use Jiaowei freely!"
As she spoke, she took out an iron piece from her arms:
"Look, this is the evidence! I got it from Burnt Tail."
"Fake."
Jiang Ran smiled and said: "Is what I did realistic? The purpose is to let Mrs. Meng be honest with us today."
"..."
Mrs. Meng's eyes began to turn red, and she couldn't tell which of the things that happened today were true and which were false.
Jiaowei should be real...but if it is true, why would Jiang Ran give Jiaowei to him when he knew he was not Guan Jinqiu?
This is illogical!
But if the Jiaowei is fake, why can I use that method to open the Jiaowei? Take out this piece of iron?
Is this Jiaowei... real or fake?
Jiang Ran said this was to lure him out, is this true or false?
At this moment, Jiang Ran laughed again:
"Mrs. Meng, what you said about Jiao Wei is true, and you have already taken control of Jiao Wei.
"Then let me ask you...after you took out this piece of iron, did you ever act in accordance with the law? Have you ever...actually played it once?
"Everyone is here today. If Madam has any questions, why not lend this Jiaowei to play a song for everyone?
"Either we die here, or my wife dies, it would be better than being cut into pieces by a Jingtan layman, with her bones bruised and ashes thrown away. Don't you think so?"
"Play..."
Mrs. Meng lowered her head and looked at the Jiao Wei Qin on her knees.
For a moment I just felt like I had a splitting headache.
Previously, her confidence was Jiao Wei.
If she had Jiao Wei, she would be sure to escape unscathed even when facing Jiang Ran.
Even if they couldn't kill so many people present, it was just wishful thinking for these people to stop her.
And the purpose of their existence here today is not to kill all these Jianghu people.
The gaze of Heavenly Que never focuses on the Jianghu.
For them, the world of martial arts has always been just a very suitable springboard.
Their real purpose lies elsewhere.
What she had to do was to prevent Jiang Ran from disturbing the business over there.
But now...
She suddenly felt that her confidence was gone.
Jiang Ran was right. After opening the secret grid, she had not yet tried the above method.
Because time waits for no one.
The meeting was held, and they had decided that if they didn't show up under these circumstances, they would go down the mountain.
So, I couldn't wait, I had to come out quickly.
Drag them all here.
But if he didn't have Jiao Wei and dragged them here, wouldn't it be a dead end for him?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Meng suddenly sighed:
"Dr. Jiang is indeed very capable, but it's a pity that you still lost completely in today's round.
"Do you know how many people from my Cangyang Sect are there today?
"How many people are there that I miss in heaven?
"Master Jiang, even though your martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world, you still lost this fight.
"Because, starting from today, Dongjun Mansion will belong to my palace in heaven!"
Jiang Ran narrowed his eyes slightly: "Why did you say that?"
"Although Meng Huan is very timid, his ability to move stars and kill demons has reached an extremely advanced level. Otherwise, he would never be so timid.
"His timidity made me extremely passive. I had no choice but to do things I didn't want to do at this time.
"But once he does it, no one in Dongjun Mansion can stop him except you.
"Zhao Riming will definitely die, but you..."
As soon as she said this, Hua Yuerong's hand around Jiang Ran's waist suddenly pressed down on his life gate.
At this moment, Hua Yuerong's face was no longer weak at all. She tried to grab the life gate with her five fingers.
But unexpectedly, the hand was slippery.
Driven with great force, all of them are like stones sinking into the sea!
The vicious look on Hua Yuerong's face suddenly froze, and the next moment, a crisp sound was heard.
Jiang Ran, who had just returned the favor, slapped him mercilessly:
"Bitch, I have long disliked you!"
