Chapter 1169 Lost the pawn and protect the commander
He couldn't do it without reminding him, because he was afraid that Huang Ban would help him hide things that he shouldn't hide.
At this point, how could he not see that he could no longer hide it? From the moment he saw the five people being taken into custody together, and then seeing the five people confessing, he knew there was no need to hide anything. The more he concealed it, the more dangerous the consequences would be.
Yuan Se looked happily at his apprentice's reaction.
Huang Ban also guessed it when he saw the five people kneeling beside him. Seeing the confirmation on Ding Wei's face, he didn't dare to be vague anymore, "We went to the mountains thirty miles southeast of the city."
Concubine Yuan: "What are you doing?"
Huang Ban pointed to the five people kneeling next to him, "It was found that five large birds were acting suspiciously during Niu Youdao's assassination. It was discovered that the people who used the birds were five of them. Mr. Ding summoned the five of them to find out the situation."
Concubine Yuan: "Have you found out?"
Huang Ban: "I checked it out and found out that it was arranged by Xuan Yao."
Concubine Yuan: "What did Xuan Yao arrange for those five birds to do?"
Huang Ban looked up at Ding Wei again and replied with difficulty: "The person who assassinated Niu Youdao was Xuan Yao."
The five people kneeling beside them were trembling. In fact, when Ding Wei found them, they had made some guesses, but they were not sure. Everyone knew that Xuan Yao and Niu had an enmity.
Hearing that Xuan Yao was finally brought out, Ding Wei felt heavy. He had previously reported to his master that there was no progress in the case, making it clear that he was lying to his master. He immediately interrupted during the interrogation and said again: "Master
…”
He wanted to explain, but Yuan Se also interrupted again: "I said, now is not the time for you to speak. I gave you a chance before, but you didn't speak. Since you didn't speak, let others speak first. Being a teacher is not unreasonable.
People, after others have finished speaking, there is plenty of time for you to speak slowly, do you understand?"
Ding Wei was forced to shut up again, but this was a signal he sent to Huang Ban.
After following for many years, Huang Ban immediately understood and realized Ding Wei's intention of intervening. The matter has reached Xuan Yao and he can no longer tell the truth. Why? There is no other reason except to protect Ding Wei!
Concubine Yuan: "In other words, Ding Wei has found out that the person who assassinated Niu Youdao was Xuan Yao."
Huang Ban: "Yes!"
Concubine Yuan: "Then why didn't you report it and let the five of them hide it?"
Huang Ban: "Mr. Ding said that this matter should not be leaked for the time being. He will arrange it."
Concubine Yuan immediately looked at Ding Wei, "Ding Wei, now that the case has been found out, why did you tell the Holy Lord that there was no progress in the case?"
Ding Wei was silent and shook his head: "It's not convenient to explain now."
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Concubine Yuan, even Yuan Se was a little surprised. Now, are you still being stubborn?
Ding Wei's identity was unusual. He was Yuan Se's apprentice. He didn't speak, so Concubine Yuan couldn't force herself. She turned her head and looked at Yuan Se, asking him to express his opinion.
Yuan Se: "Ding Wei, it's Concubine Yuan who is trying the case now, you have to cooperate."
"Yes!" Ding Wei responded respectfully, then pointed to the five people kneeling down and said: "It was found out that the five of them were summoning birds with suspicious intentions. They were suspected of assassinating Niu Youdao. The disciples wanted to immediately take them to Wentian City for interrogation. However, they
The background involves disciples, that is, it involves the Great Yuan Holy Land. Before the truth is known and before there is no definite certainty, the disciples have to be cautious for fear of adversely affecting the Great Yuan Holy Land."
"Because of this concern, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, the disciples took them to the mountains outside the city for secret interrogation."
"After confirming the results, I still have concerns and dare not make it public, and have taken some precautionary measures. When I came this morning, I planned to report it to Master and ask Master to make a decision. However..." At this point, he stopped and looked at
Looking at Lu Wushuang, everything is unexplainable.
Yuan Se and Concubine Yuan followed his gaze and looked at Lu Wushuang. They instantly understood what Ding Wei meant. They originally wanted to report it to the Holy Lord, but because Lu Wushuang was here, the family scandal could not be publicized, so they temporarily concealed it because they wanted to wait for Lu Wu. Let’s talk about it after Wushuang leaves.
Yuan Se was silent, and had to admit that Ding Wei's reason was reasonable. The assassination case involved one of his own, and there were outsiders present. Without him, Yuan Se, to make the final decision, it would be difficult for Ding Wei to reveal it in front of outsiders. Otherwise, there will be no room for maneuver here.
And this is the attitude Ding Wei should have, otherwise why would he be in charge of Piaomiao Pavilion?
Lu Wushuang sneered, "I have become your excuse to conceal the case."
Ding Wei immediately retorted, "Lu Shengzun, what I said is the truth, why do you have to slander me as an excuse?" In front of the master, he had no need to give Lu Wushuang face.
Lu Wushuang snorted: "If Fatty Yuan hadn't exposed it for you, you would have kept it a secret, right? The people below you, without your consent, would they dare to assassinate the inspector?"
Ding Wei: "The facts of the case are very clear. Someone did it without telling me. I only found out the truth last night. If Lu Shengzun has such a big prejudice against me and insists on throwing dirty water on my head, I will There is nothing we can do.”
Yuan Se's eyes flickered. This was exactly what he was confused about. Ding Wei just found out the situation last night and didn't know it beforehand. It seemed inconsistent with what Lu Wushuang reminded him earlier. That's why he had the patience to slowly let people go. Pull him up and confront him on the spot.
He raised his hand to Concubine Yuan.
Concubine Yuan immediately waved her hand again. Everyone looked back and saw Xuan Yao being escorted over.
As soon as he entered the pavilion, he saw five people kneeling and Huang Ban. Combined with the situation where he was suddenly detained, Xuan Yao's heart dropped. He knew that he was probably doomed. He was in a daze and couldn't even kneel down. Know.
Concubine Yuan asked: "Xuanyao, where did you go last night?"
Xuan Yao came back to his senses after hearing the sound, and his heart was full of regret, regretting that he should not have been obsessed with running to assassinate Niu Youdao. Although he succeeded in venting his hatred and killing Niu Youdao, he may have risked his own life now.
He now had a glimmer of hope of survival and didn't know how to answer. He was about to take a peek at Ding Wei's face, but Ding Wei had already shouted sternly: "It's your own fault now. Answer honestly and don't hide anything!"
As soon as these words came out, Xuan Yao suddenly had a bitter look on his face. Knowing that it was over and his last hope of survival was shattered, he smiled bitterly and replied: "I went to a deep mountain outside the city."
Concubine Yuan: "Why do you want to go to the mountains outside the city?"
Xuan Yao stopped kneeling, slowly straightened up, sat on his calves, and sighed: "Ding Zhang ordered us to summon you."
Concubine Yuan: "Why are you summoned?"
Xuan Yao chuckled and shook his head: "I brought everything upon myself. I was the one who assassinated Niu Youdao. He was found out by the commander and was interrogated by the commander."
Concubine Yuan: "Why do you need to go to the mountains outside the city for interrogation?"
Xuan Yao sighed: "I don't know, maybe I am worried about the impact on the Great Yuan Holy Land."
Concubine Yuan: "Did you confess honestly?"
Xuan Yao: "The commander has found the evidence and can no longer hide it. I have to confess honestly."
Concubine Yuan: "After the confession, how did Ding Wei arrange the arrangements?"
This question made Ding Wei's heart tighten. He had concealed Lu Wushuang's existence on the pretext that he was betting that Xuan Yao would not betray him.
Xuan Yao was silent for a while and then laughed miserably, "There are no arrangements, let Huang Ban watch me and let me wait for treatment!"
As soon as these words came out, it was like taking all the responsibilities on his own shoulders, and Ding Wei felt a stone fall in his heart.
Because of this, there was a somewhat complicated look in his eyes when he looked at Xuan Yao. After all, he was his confidant who had been with him for many years.
But there was no way, he himself was in danger of escaping and could not save Xuan Yao.
Huang Ban also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Xuan Yao really revealed the plan arranged by Ding Wei to silence those who participated in the assassination, it would mean that Huang Ban had lied before, and Huang Ban would also be held accountable.
Concubine Yuan was silent for a moment, then turned to face Yuan Se, "Master, there is nothing wrong with me."
Yuan Se hummed, waved her hand to retreat behind him, glanced sideways at Lu Wushuang, and said cheerfully: "My beauty, it's your turn."
Ding Wei was secretly shocked, it's not over yet? What else happened to Lu Wushuang?
Lu Wushuang snorted coldly, "This is clearly a plan to abandon the soldiers to protect the commander. It was rehearsed in advance. Do you believe it?"
Yuan Se: "Ding Wei, didn't you always want to say it before? My teacher is a reasonable person. If I say I will give you a chance to explain, I will definitely give you a chance to explain. I'm afraid Miss Lu's doubts still have to be answered.
Explain it yourself."
"Yes!" Ding Weili bowed slightly, then looked at Lu Wushuang and said, "I don't understand what Lu Shengzun said."
Lu Wushuang: "Why are you pretending to be confused? Don't you know why the eight sects went to Wuliang Garden to inspect?" He looked at Yuan Se with cold eyes and said, "Fat Yuan, this matter is obvious. It involves Wuliang Garden. It's up to you what is more important.
There are trade-offs, just a mere Xuan Yao wants to take care of everything... This deal is really a good deal."
Yuan Se said happily: "Don't ask me, I don't know."
Ding Wei frowned and answered, "Eight sects of personnel are inspecting Wuliang Garden. I am outside and have no prior knowledge."
Lu Wushuang: "Really? Then why didn't Xuan Yao assassinate him earlier or later, but he did it after Niu Youdao took Wuliangyuan's confession? Don't tell me, it was just a coincidence!"
Yuan Se drank tea with a smile on her face, as if she was staying out of it.
"Wuliangyuan's confession?" Ding Wei was puzzled and asked: "What confession?"
Lu Wushuang made it clear directly, "After the Wuliang Garden arson case, Niu Youdao went to Wuliang Garden with you for questioning. During the period, he discovered some anomalies. After that, he kept a close eye on the investigation. As a result, he found some clues, which pointed to Wuliang Garden.
That fire was deliberately caused by someone with the intention of cooperating with the traitor in Wuliang Garden. The purpose of the fire was to create a disturbance and give the traitor an opportunity to steal the Wuliang Fruit!"
Stealing the Infinite Fruit? Ding Wei was shocked.
Lu Wushuang continued: "After finding out these clues, Niu Youdao invited inspectors from eight sects to go to Wuliang Garden to collect evidence. He had already obtained a batch of confessions from Wuliang Garden and was ready to bring them back to sort out and implement the evidence. However, right here
At that time, Niu Youdao was suddenly killed. Ding Wei, do you think it is a coincidence?"
Except for those who knew about it in advance, everyone else was shocked. Even Xuan Yao was stunned. He didn't expect that the timing of his attack was so coincidental that he would run into such a big thing.
He finally understood that he was simply seeking death. No wonder the Nine Saints were alarmed and kept a close eye on him.
Ding Wei could no longer remain calm and couldn't bear it anymore. He quickly turned around and asked, "Xuan Yao, why did you kill Niu Youdao at this time?"
