Chapter 252: Qingyunmen Conference
There is a palace in Qingyun Gate near the forbidden land in the back mountain, which is where the head of Qingyun and the six elders usually discuss the major matters in the gate.
Yesterday, Nangong Wenya, the head of Qingyun, and the six elders were there to discuss the question of whether Chu Li could be qualified as the chief disciple of Qingyun Sect. It's just that the result is that seven people discussed it all night, and none of them came to a satisfactory result.
So early this morning, the elders arrived at the council hall early and waited for the head to come.
didn't let everyone wait long, Nangong Wenya came to the council hall.
Today's Nangong Wenya is basically the same as yesterday's dress, still the light green dress. She exudes the temperament of an iceberg goddess, and her whole body exudes a goddess-like majesty.
Nangong Wenya, who was holding the Qingyun Sword in her hand, looked around at the six elders on both sides and sat down on her futon.
"I heard that Zhao Xiang died. Nangong Wenya said faintly as soon as she came up.
As soon as the words fell, the Great Elder immediately stood up: "That's right, my eldest disciple Zhao Xiang died unexpectedly in his room last night. The head of Nangong, this matter must have been done by the monk named Chu Li. ”
Nangong Wenya put the sword across his lap and said coldly, "Where is the evidence?"
The Great Elder snorted coldly, angry in his heart: "Evidence or something, as long as you arrest someone to the Criminal Law Hall for a first trial, you will naturally know." ”
Nangong Wenya frowned: "According to the door rules, the Criminal Law Hall can only interrogate disciples who have been convicted of crimes. If there is no evidence, you are ready to arrest people, Great Elder, the Criminal Law Hall that you are in charge of managing usually does this?"
"Uh......" The Great Elder was speechless for a moment.
At this time, an elder pointed out: "The head of Nangong, although there is no evidence now, Chu Li is a major suspect after all. If we can't handle this matter properly, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Zhao family to explain. ”
Nangong asked Yahe to meditate: "Then I hope that all my colleagues in the Criminal Law Hall can find the key evidence as soon as possible." ”
A certain elder in charge of the family line answered: "That's right, you have to hurry up and handle the case. When the Zhao family asks for the guilt, we can also give an explanation. ”
The Great Elder who clenched his fists secretly scolded in his heart: Nonsense, this way
If you don't say it, I know it. It's just that now the cause of Zhao Xiang's death is strange, and it's really difficult to start an investigation. The best way is to put all the blame on Chu Li!
Seeing that everyone had no objection to Zhao Xiang's matter, Nangong asked Ya and said, "Zhao Xiang's matter is handled by the people of the Medical Charity Hall and the Criminal Law Hall, and then we will continue to discuss the issue of the chief disciple." ”
As soon as the head of the sect finished speaking, the Great Elder hurriedly said: "Head of Nangong, I have always maintained my opposition to the matter of Chu Li being elected as the chief disciple. ”
One of the elders also said, "Yes, sir, he is a monk of unknown origin after all. suddenly appeared in Qingyunmen, I am afraid that it is a bad intention. Besides, even if a few of our elders can agree, the disciples under the sect are afraid that it will not be easy to explain. ”
Another elder immediately retorted: "Chu Li is a monk chosen by the Qingyun Sword, it is very likely that he is the reincarnation of the ancestor, so he can't decide rashly!"
......
"You have already said these things yesterday. Nangong Wenya's tone of voice did not fluctuate, "The master of this sect asked you to go back and meditate last night, not to let you continue to quarrel here today." ”
"Master Nangong, I have an immature suggestion, I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”
Nangong Wenya opened her eyes and saw that the other party was an elder of the Great Elder lineage. However, Nangong Wenya still asked him to say everything that should be said.
"I don't know if you elders still remember, there is a marriage contract between us on Qingyun and Canghu Mountain. Eighteen years ago, the master of the front door and the holy king of Canghu Mountain had similar interests, and made a marriage contract on the occasion of the birth of the holy daughter. He said that he hoped that when the Holy Maiden came of age, she would marry with our chief disciple and maintain the care of harmonious coexistence between the two families. Now calculate the time, and it will not be long before the saint will become an adult. ”
The marriage contract made by the previous Qingyun Sect Master and the Holy King of Canghu Mountain was not a secret in Qingyun Sect, and even some inner disciples knew about it.
This is also one of the reasons why the Zhao family let Zhao Xiang worship Qingyunmen.
Nangong Wenya frowned, and asked the elder who stood up: "Are you planning to let Chu Li marry the holy daughter of Canghu Mountain?"
"That's right, as long as Chu Li can make peace with the Holy Maiden, our Qingyunmen will be able to climb the stronger Canghu Mountain. With the protection of Canghu Mountain, Chu Li had even more on the question of whether to become the chief disciple
Persuasion. And if Canghu Mountain can help, the Zhao family will not make too many demands on the matter of Zhao Xiang's death. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, an elder immediately stood up and retorted: "It is rumored that Her Highness the Holy Maiden is not only a great beauty, but also a powerful monk. She...... Can you take a fancy to Chu Li's cripple?"
"That's right, now that the owner of the front door is not here, Qingyunmen is weak. Even if there is a marriage contract, can the holy king recognize it? ”
"That's right, what if the marriage contract doesn't work out?"
The elder who proposed the peace plan replied with a smile: "If Chu Li can succeed in making peace, then everything will be happy. If the harmony fails, then the disciples of Qingyun Sect will not recognize the position of Chu Li's chief disciple. If this is the case, it is not impossible for us to blame Zhao Xiang's death on Chu Li. ”
Nangong Wenya saw the elder's mind at this time, he felt that it was impossible for Chu Li to succeed in making peace with him, so he thought of this method to kill Chu Li.
"I think it's a viable option. ”
After some thought, many elders raised their hands in agreement. Because for most of the elders, Chu Li was no different from ordinary disciples. If the strength of Qingyun Sect can be improved, the elders will not hesitate to "sacrifice" him.
Just as Nangong asked Ya to let everyone raise their hands to vote because of the elder's proposal, the hall master of the Criminal Law Hall hurriedly ran outside the door of the council hall.
The hall master knelt outside the door and said, "Master, elders. Chu Li, the alternate for the chief disciple, not only refused to assist our Criminal Law Hall disciples in handling the case, but also seriously injured two disciples of the Criminal Law Hall. Please take charge of the sect and all the elders to administer justice for my criminal law hall. ”
"That guy Chu Li actually dared to kill his fellow disciples. "The Great Elder, in a fit of rage, wanted to storm the door.
"Great Elder, don't be impatient. After the head of Nangong called out to the Great Elder, he said to the Master of the Criminal Law Hall, "Did your disciples of the Criminal Law Hall do something to Chu Li, or did you arrange for the disciples to prepare to arrest Chu Li?"
"Both... It's not..."The Master of the Criminal Law Hall was a little flustered, "It was organized by the disciples in the sect spontaneously. ”
The head of Nangong sighed: "There is nothing in the entire Qingyun Gate that can make people worry. Okay, I will personally handle Chu Li's affairs, elders, you continue to discuss, today we will pass the flying sword to the Holy King of Canghu Mountain. ”
