"It's getting late, what's the rush for you to come to the Wulin League?" Qiu Zhenxi pretended not to know the purpose of the old woman and others' visit, and deliberately asked them why they came to the Wulin League hall at dusk.
"We heard from Sun Shaoxia that the Wulin Alliance has caught the real culprit who killed my son." The old woman narrated simply.
It turns out that not long ago, Sun Tongtong went door-to-door to inform the family members of the deceased, telling them that the Wulin League had caught the real murderer and would try the murderer. He suggested that the family members of the deceased come to the Wulin League hall to watch.
To be honest, when the old woman saw Sun BuTong, she was actually very angry.
Because according to the Wulin League, Sun Butong should have come to apologize to them in person two days ago.
As a result, they didn't see Sun BuTong until this afternoon.
Moreover, Sun BuTong found the old woman at the Wanglou Martial Arts Arena...
Today is the Tian Feng Battle between Zhou Xingyun and Wei Suyao. Since the old woman had a good impression of Zhou Xingyun and his party, she also came to Tianshu Peak to support them.
After the game between Zhou Xingyun and Wei Suyao, Sun Butong appeared in front of the old woman.
At first the old woman thought that this arrogant boy came to apologize to them.
As a result, the old woman simply regarded Sun Tongtong as nothing and returned home with her daughter-in-law.
The old woman sincerely felt that Sun BuTong neither respected the deceased nor them. Since Sun BuTong was apologizing for the sake of apologizing and not sincerely repenting, then this apology was not fair.
However, just as the old woman walked around Sun Tongtong, Sun Tongtong smiled coldly and said that the Wulin League had found the real murderer and was preparing to expose him in front of the Wulin League hall, so that the old woman must come and watch.
After saying that, Sun Tongtong waved his sleeves coolly and used Qinggong to go down the mountain on the pretext that he still wanted to inform other family members of the deceased.
After the old woman returned home, the family members of the deceased all listened to Sun BuTong's words and gathered in front of her house.
The old woman wanted to go to the Wulin Alliance Hall immediately to ask who the real murderer was.
However, Bai Banxie and others have not returned yet, so the old woman has no choice but to wait quietly at home with the relatives of the deceased.
It wasn't until not long ago that they learned that the people from the Wulin Alliance were back, so they rushed to the entrance of the Wulin Alliance to find out what was going on.
"You have misunderstood. We did not find the real murderer, we just found some clues..."
Before Bai Banxie finished speaking, the old woman noticed the jade he was holding in his hand. Everyone saw her eyes filled with tears. She stepped forward excitedly and took the jade from Bai Banxie's hand without any explanation.
"This is the jade passed down in our family! It's Dai'er's personal jade! Where did you find it?"
"Knowing people but not knowing their hearts, the murderer of your loved ones is far away and right in front of you!"
When the old woman finished speaking, Sun BuTong grabbed the words and spoke.
This kid didn't even notice the livid faces of Bai Banxie, He Qinghai and others...
"Who is the murderer!" the old woman asked sharply.
"That's him!" Sun Butong immediately pointed his finger at Zhou Xingyun: "This jade stained with reddish blood was found from their residence! You unreasonable outsiders were all tricked by that man with a human face and an animal heart.
I was deceived!"
At this moment, Zhou Xingyun was a little panicked. He was afraid that the old woman and the relatives of the deceased would come to settle accounts with him out of sheer enthusiasm.
Not only Zhou Xingyun, but also Bai Banxie and others were anxious.
Bai Banxie and others obtained new clues and did not dare to inform the deceased's family immediately because of the seriousness of the matter.
The biggest concern of the senior leaders of the Wulin League is that after the old woman and others learn that Zhou Xingyun is the murderer, they will lose their calmness and rationality and impulsively seek revenge on Zhou Xingyun.
Regardless of whether Zhou Xingyun was wrongly accused or not, even if he was really the murderer, it would not be appropriate to make it public immediately.
The family members of the deceased did not know that Zhou Xingyun was a relative of the emperor. If they wanted to seek revenge on Zhou Xingyun, they might be executed.
For a time, the atmosphere in the hall became very heavy, as if the air had weight, making people feel heavy.
"Is this true?" The old woman suddenly looked at Zhou Xingyun.
"It's true." Zhou Xingyun nodded calmly, without any quibbles.
This made Bai Banxie and others anxious. They all expected Zhou Xingyun to try his best to defend himself.
"In other words, are you the murderers of my son?" The old woman's eyes seemed to become sharper when she looked at Zhou Xingyun, as if she had a sense of substance that could completely see through Zhou Xingyun.
"We are not murderers." Zhou Xingyun replied without emotion: "According to the Wulin League picket team, the jade pendant was indeed found in our residence, but we know nothing about this matter. The right of interpretation lies with the Wulin League picket team.
In hand."
When Zhou Xingyun faced the old woman, he made no excuses or explanations, because he felt that he was innocent and there was no need to defend herself.
Zhou Xingyun described the current situation clearly without any emotion, and then left it to the old woman and the relatives of the deceased to judge what was right and wrong.
Facing the old woman and the relatives of the deceased, sincerity is the greatest nirvana!
Zhou Xingyun was not afraid of the slanting shadow, so he could face the old woman with a clear conscience.
At this moment, the old woman did not speak. Her gaze shifted from Zhou Xingyun to Bai Banxie...
After all, Zhou Xingyun also said that he knew nothing about this matter and that it was all done by the Wulin Alliance.
To be honest, because of what the Wulin Alliance did before, the old woman doesn't trust the Wulin Alliance at all now.
Whether Zhou Xingyun's words are trustworthy or those of the senior officials of the Wulin Alliance, the old woman will choose the former without hesitation.
When Bai Banxie, He Qinghai and others faced the old woman's gaze, they could more or less read the question in her eyes.
The old woman was questioning the Wulin Alliance, where did the jade pendant come from.
The old woman had raised this question to Bai Banxie before, but Sun Butong rashly interrupted their conversation.
"This jade pendant was found by our men from Miss Nangong's bedroom when they were cleaning." Bai Banxie pointed his finger at Nangong Ling.
After talking for so long, Zhou Xingyun now found out that Sun Butong hid the jade pendant in Sister Nangong's wing...
Nangong Ling was once a disciple of the Temple of the Dead, and she also served as an executioner under the Emperor's Sixteenth Prince. In the eyes of outsiders, Sister Nangong exuded the aura of being a stranger, and she was indeed very suitable to be regarded as a murderer.
The most important point is that Nangong Ling is a woman who doesn't like to quibble or explain even if she is wronged.
For example, now, Bai Banxie is targeting Nangong Ling. Peiyu was found in her bedroom, but Sister Nangong doesn't care about him. She still looks like an outsider, standing coolly against the beam and reading a book.
Nangong Ling is not interested in who is the murderer, she only cares about 'doing it' or 'not taking action'.
As long as Zhou Xingyun takes action, Nangong Ling will follow her husband and declare war on the Wulin Alliance. Before that, Sister Nangong could only read books to pass the time and was too lazy to care about what others wanted to do...
Just like now, everyone's attention is focused on Nangong Ling, but Nangong Ling is still reading by himself, not caring about the eyes of outsiders.
Zhou Xingyun saw that Nangong Ling was silent, so he had to ask a little: "Ling, have you seen this jade pendant?"
It wasn't until she heard Zhou Xingyun's question that Nangong Ling raised her head casually, glanced at the jade pendant in the old woman's hand from the corner of her eyes, and then replied lightly...
"No." Sister Nangong replied in an understatement. Her nonchalant attitude was like an ancient well, not interested in external things at all.
"But they said this jade pendant was found in your room." Zhou Xingyun asked immediately. He was not asking because he suspected Nangong Ling, but just to show off, so that the old woman and other family members of the deceased would not mistakenly think that he did not take this matter seriously.
.
"Perhaps it was left by previous residents." Nangong Ling stared at the book in his hand and said absently.
"..." Zhou Xingyun was speechless after hearing this.
Ah, this...you...no, Sister Nangong, did you listen to what the other party said? This jade pendant is evidence of crime. How could you rely on the previous guest?
Not to mention, Nangong Ling really didn't listen to the nonsense of Bai Banxie and others, or maybe it was because Nangong Ling had never seen Lao Dai's jade and had nothing to do with the murder of the hostages that he said such ridiculous things.
.
After all, Sister Nangong is an outsider. She doesn't know the cause and effect. She was involved in the incident out of nowhere. Zhou Xingyun really shouldn't expect her to explain it well.
The old woman stared at Nangong Ling for a while. She couldn't tell any clues from Nangong Ling's attitude, so she had to ask Bai Banxie and other senior leaders of the Wulin Alliance: "Do you think they are the murderers?"
"We are not sure yet. We can only say that this incident is a coincidence. In our opinion, there should be something fishy. We cannot rule out that evil warriors want to harm Young Leader Zhou." Murong Canghai said something valuable.
When things go wrong, evil will take the blame. Under the current situation, neither the warriors in the southern border nor Qiu Zhenxi and others are willing to completely fall out with Zhou Xingyun.
Especially Qiu Zhenxi and others, not to mention that this matter is full of doubts, they cannot conclude that Zhou Xingyun is the murderer of the hostages. Even if Zhou Xingyun is really a conscientious bad guy, Qiu Zhenxi and others will not fall out with him.
To put it bluntly, Qiu Zhenxi and others knew that they were not qualified to fall out with Zhou Xingyun.
"Senior Murong, I have always respected you as a good man and hold you in high esteem. How could you be so unconscionable today as to say such things that have no moral bottom line!"
Sun Tongtong couldn't bear it anymore. Murong Canghai actually wanted to help Zhou Xingyun get rid of the suspicion, saying that some evil people framed Zhou Xingyun?
"It's different! Say less!" Sun Fangjin felt that it was good for Murong Canghai to use the 'evil way' to smooth things over. After all, it was common for evil warriors to frame upright disciples.
The Wulin Alliance must first stabilize the relatives of the deceased before they can further investigate the murderer.
What Sun Fangjin, Bai Banxie and others are most worried about now is that the Wulin Alliance is forced by public opinion and must break with Zhou Xingyun.
This is not a trivial matter. If not, the new Wulin Alliance will fall apart because of this.
I think back then, when the Wulin Alliance fell apart, it was ultimately because one of the ten elders of the Wulin Alliance had a traitor who was colluding with the evil ways.
Because Yuan Haisong united with the Spirit Snake Palace to harm the Wulin League's brigade that was attacking the evil, many righteous sects lost trust in the Wulin League. This gave Murong Canghai and other talents an opportunity to reorganize a Jianghu Association.
Now the young leader of the Wulin Alliance has betrayed the Wulin Alliance, resulting in hundreds of casualties among the Zhengdao disciples. This situation is even more serious than Yuan Haisong!
Once this matter is confirmed, and the Jianghu forces from the north and the south cooperate for the first time, and it is known as the largest martial arts alliance in history, it is probably over. This chapter has been completed!
