The mountain patrol disciple stretched out his hand to probe his snort, put his hand on his neck and tried it, and then said, "He's gone." ”

The way he died with his eyes open like this was a bit of a dead posture.

Several Wudang disciples looked at each other, and one by one they felt a little chill on their bodies, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

The leading disciple said, "Cut two branches to make a stretcher, come and carry him up the mountain with me, and go to find all the uncles, uncles, and brothers!

The two carried a corpse all the way up the mountain, which was very eye-catching.

The brothers I met on the road would often come over to ask a few words driven by curiosity. The leading disciple had his own plans in his heart, and felt that this was not a trivial matter, so he dealt with the past vaguely in the face of other people's inquiries, and only asked a few fellow disciples to inform Senior Brother Zhang and his uncles, saying that they had something important to report. The Wudang disciple who was entrusted with the important task, saw the solemn expression of the person who spoke, and heard the other party say that the person being carried was the corpse of a Ming Sect soldier, and when he knew that this was not a joke, he would not excuse himself, and immediately took up his light work and left.

Coincidentally, Song Yuanqiao, Yu Lianzhou and others were in no important place at this time. Therefore, when the two of them returned to the sect carrying the unidentified corpse of the Ming Sect from the foot of the mountain, several elders and Senior Brother Zhang were already waiting for them in a large hall.

The two put down the stretcher and saluted a few people respectfully, and Yu Lianzhou nodded and asked them to get up.

They are just ordinary disciples of Wudang, except for the martial arts arena, it is rare to see the master and others on weekdays, I thought that only one or two of them would come, who would have thought that a few elders would be all present, and it was inevitable that their bodies were stiff and their hearts were uneasy.

Zhang Songxi has always been witty and intelligent, he saw that the two of them were uncomfortable, so he smiled and said: "Don't look at your second uncle, you usually always have a straight face, but he is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, don't be deceived by his appearance." ”

Seeing that his junior brother was mercilessly exposing his old background on the side, Yu Lianzhou had no choice but to change the topic, he pointed to the person on the stretcher, and asked the two disciples, "This is?"

The two hurriedly recounted the previous events.

Yu Lianzhou motioned to Zhang Wuji with his eyes to step forward to see if that person was from the Ming Sect, and Zhang Wuji also had this intention. He stepped forward, took a closer look at this person's face, and then said with a wry smile: "I seem to have indeed seen him beside Xu Shouhui, this person should be his personal soldier, but I really can't remember." ”

Yu Lianzhou was not surprised. After all, there are a large number of Mingjiao, even if Wuji used to be the leader of Mingjiao, it is still too difficult for him to recognize 100% of the members of the sect below, not to mention that he has not returned to Mingjiao for several years, and his memory is a little blurry for some people who have only had one side.

Zhang Wuji took the letter brought to him by the deceased from the hands of the mountain patrol disciples, opened it and looked at it.

Song Yuanqiao was holding a teacup in his hand, and as soon as he took a sip of tea, he saw that the two of them wanted to speak and stopped, as if they still had something to say, so he said softly: "Is there anything else to say?"

When the leading disciple saw that the person who asked the question was Song Yuanqiao, he didn't dare to say anything, he said hesitantly: "That person still said...... He also said......"

Yu Daiyan frowned and said, "Manly man, how can you talk so much." ”

The leading disciple was reprimanded by him like this, and he had to muster up his spirits and muster up his courage, he took a deep breath and said, "He said, 'Song Qingshu, this villain must not die well'!"

The entire hall was so quiet that it could be heard that a needle was dropping.

Song Yuanqiao's hand holding the teacup trembled, and he didn't even know that the tea was spilling onto his fingers. His eyes were obscure, and he asked again, "What did the man say?"

Now that he has said this, it will not be as difficult as the first time to say it the second time, and the leading disciple repeated it smoothly and clearly: "Song Qingshu, this villain, must not be ......." ”

Yin Liting interrupted him with a trembling voice: "Enough, I will not mention this in the future!"

However, it is said that the Red Turban Army led by Xu Shouhui is now showing an unstoppable state, with millions of righteous troops under his command, strict discipline, and winning the hearts of the people. Even the Yuan army, which has always been above the top, did not dare to touch its edge, so it could only grit its teeth and let it grow rapidly, so far, Lianghu, Jiangnan, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places have been under his control.

However, it was such a character who died inexplicably.

Although the Red Turban Army is now extremely powerful, it is essentially just a group of reckless men and ordinary people forming a grass-roots team, how can it be regarded as a qualified political system that can develop in the long run. Xu Shouhui is like the Dinghai Divine Needle in the Red Turban Army, he fell, the Red Turban Army immediately panicked, and there were those who took the opportunity to fight for power and profit, and there were many people who decided to withdraw when they saw that the situation was not good. Fortunately, Chen Youliang stepped forward and severely punished those who confused the morale of the army and took the opportunity to make profits, which stabilized the righteous army and did not let the Red Turban Army fall apart immediately after Xu Shouhui's death.

After all the qi qi settled down, someone finally stood up and said that he saw Song Qingshu's figure on the day of Leader Xu's death, and even said bluntly that Song Qingshu was just a fake death to get out, and Leader Xu's death must be implicated in him. Chen Youliang immediately ordered this person not to talk about this matter again, and how could Wudang Qingyu allow the villain to slander him at will, so he executed this person by military order and blocked the relevant news. However, rumors about the "truth about the death of Leader Xu" are still very popular within the rebels.

The letter in Zhang Wuji's hand was written by Yang Xiao, and what the letter said was the death of Xu Shouhui and the monopoly of Chen Youliang.

Song Yuanqiao put down the teacup he was holding, he supported his forehead with one hand, and said, "If you ...... If Qingshu is really related to this matter, I will not protect this rebel, nor will I work for you to dirty your hands, I will clean the door with my own hands to respect the souls of your colleagues in the sky!"

Zhang Wuji handed the letter to the fourth master and asked Zhang Songxi to take a look at the contents. He said: "Uncle Master is thinking about it, Senior Brother Song has been waiting with me, where did he get the kung fu to kill Leader Xu?"

When Song Yuanqiao heard his words, his eyes moved slightly, as if he was crying but not crying, and he seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He seemed to accept Zhang Wuji's words, closed his eyes fiercely, and then said: "Find someone to let Qingshu come over, no matter what, this matter does involve him, listen to what he wants to say." ”

After reading the content of the letter, Zhang Songxi said coldly: "This Chen Youliang has a big plan, that person only said that he suspected that he had seen Song Qingshu, and he was afraid that he was involved in the death of Brother Xu, so Chen Youliang executed him in the name of Wudang, and let people not spread the rumors about it. Thinking that Zhu Yuanzhang originally murdered Wuji, intending to set up the Ming Sect, in my opinion, it is unknown that Brother Xu was killed by Chen Youliang. Chen Youliang saw that my Wudang was powerful in the rivers and lakes, and it also had an extraordinary influence among the people, so he simply decided to take the opportunity to splash me Wudang with a basin of dirty water, and it was not impossible to completely draw a line with the forces in the rivers and lakes. ”

But the problem is that not everyone will analyze like Zhang Songxi, and more people think of another possibility.

In all fairness, does Song Qingshu have a reason to kill Xu Shouhui?

He has.

It's just too reasonable, and if none of his reasons are sufficient, who else is justified?

This matter has to start with Chen Youliang. Song Qingshu's killing of Mo Shenggu is indeed true, but it would be a big mistake to say that Mo Qixia was killed by him alone at that time. Since he killed his uncle by mistake, he has already decided that he is a sinner in the world and has the will to die, how can he not hate Chen Youliang, who killed his seventh uncle with him?

It is true that he deceived his teacher and destroyed his ancestors, and he wanted to poison Zhang Sanfeng, but the main messenger behind the scenes, the real person who forced him to do so was Chen Youliang and the leaders of the beggar gang. On that day, at the lion slaughtering meeting, he used the Nine Yin White Bone Claws to kill the beggar gang leader and the law enforcement elder, how could he be sure that he was only angry and embarrassed by the revelation of his old bottom, and did not have any revenge mentality? Regardless of the facts, the palm bowl dragon head that forced him to poison was really dead, but Chen Youliang was still alive.

Later, Chen Youliang saw that the situation was not good, so he took refuge in Xu Shouhui, and escaped with Xu Shouhui's blessing and the reputation of the righteous army. Chen Youliang is not only alive, but also alive and well.

Of course, others will not know all kinds of inside information in such detail, but they only need to know that Song Qingshu hates Chen Youliang. He hated Chen Youliang, so how could he not hate Xu Shouhui, who "shielded" Chen Youliang? Since he had hatred in his heart, it was reasonable for him to kill Xu Shouhui.

For the people of the rivers and lakes, just a word of "hate" or a word of "profit" is enough to become a sharp blade that takes people's lives.

……

Qiao Heng is practicing words in the room, probably what everyone calls "words are like their people", perhaps because he has been in an unstable mood recently, no matter what kind of font he changes to, the words written by him always have an indelible sharp aura between the beginning and the end, and the horizontal lifting and skimming, which makes him dare not keep it every time he writes a word, but throws them all into the copper basin and burns them.

When he was informed by a Wudang disciple that Song Yuanqiao and several other senior uncles wanted to see him, he thought back and forth in his heart about what was going on. Listening to what this disciple said, it seems that several elders in Wudang are here, this is to have a "three-hall trial"?

Even if it were, he was not afraid.

He flicked the hem of his clothes, and then calmly followed the other party to Song Yuanqiao and the others.

Zhang Wuji wanted to step forward to talk to him, but Qiao Heng didn't notice Zhang Wuji at all, and as soon as he entered the hall, his gaze involuntarily stopped on the corpse on the ground.

"Qingshu met his father and uncles. Qiao Heng retracted his gaze and knelt down in turn.

Yu Lianzhou sighed and said, "Get up." ”

The young man walked well, stood still in the hall after the salute was not flustered, his hair and clothes were meticulous, his demeanor was down-and-out and generous, and his body was like a plain bamboo.

Song Yuanqiao saw through his posture in a trance that when the major factions encircled and suppressed Mingjiao in the past, the young man who was calm, calmly faced the enemy, and enjoyed much praise, but the more he recalled like this, the more sad his heart became.

He settled down and asked, "Qingshu, do you know that man on the ground?"

Qiao Heng replied truthfully: "Back to my father, my son doesn't know this person. Whether it was his own memory or the memory that belonged to Song Qingshu, he didn't remember this person's face.

Zhang Songxi saw Qiao Heng standing there in a dark blue robe, he didn't know anything and was questioned by his biological father as soon as he was led here, and he felt a little uncomfortable for a while. He reluctantly interjected a few words: "Okay, big brother." Since we all decided that Qingshu had nothing to do with this matter, why did you bother to ask, do you have to let Qingshu's nephew admit this inexplicable crime?"

Whether it was Zhang Wuji, Yu Lianzhou, Yu Daiyan and Yin Liting, they couldn't help but show a little approving look.

When Song Yuanqiao heard him say this, he had to shut up. It's just that Zhang Songxi knows how to be a parent, and he can't help but ask a clear mood for fear that his children will have anything to do with any dirty things?

Qiao Heng listened to what these two people said, and his expression changed unchanged.

Yu Lianzhou said in a deep voice: "Qingshu, there are two things to sue you here. ”

"First, Xu Shouhui died. ”

Qiao Heng's eyes were calm, he looked at the ground in front of him, and listened with peace of mind without saying a word.

"Second, there are rumors in the rebel army that Xu Shouhui was killed by you. ”

Qiao Heng looked at Song Yuanqiao suddenly, and saw that he seemed to be waiting for him to say something, and his heart was cold for no reason. He said: "First, I have never seen Xu Shouhui, and second, Xu Shouhui was not killed by me. He said it so firmly that he couldn't help but trust him.

Yu Lianzhou clapped his hands and said: "Okay, it is enough to have your words! Qingshu, you just have to recuperate in Wudang with peace of mind, you don't need to pay attention to the rumors and rumors of the outside world, and all the miscellaneous matters will be handled by our elders for you! I want to find out who released such rumors to tarnish my reputation in Wudang!"

Qiao Heng immediately put on a posture of thanks, but he really didn't have any good sentimentality in his heart, and he could even be said to be numb at this time. There are many people who have encountered this kind of human life lawsuit planted on his head for no reason, and no matter how the situation develops, there is always a sense of déjà vu, which makes it difficult for him to have a special touch.

"No matter what, I believe in Senior Brother. Although Zhang Wuji knew that Senior Brother Song probably couldn't listen to his words at all, he still couldn't help but say so.

Zhang Songxi had been paying attention to Qiao Heng's expression, and when he noticed that when the second senior brother told him that Xu Shouhui was dead, Qingshu's face did not show any expression, whether it was surprise, doubt, or disbelief, or the simplest frown, he did not show it. That posture is not so much that he is indifferent and feels that it is none of his business, but rather that it is like Xu Shouhui is already a dead man in his eyes, no, it is more accurate, it should be for him, he has determined that Xu Shouhui will die a long time ago!

How could Qingshu know? How did he know? Unless he was indeed involved in this matter, it was impossible for him to know in advance that Xu Shouhui would die. Could it be that he had discussed it with Chen Youliang? This is absolutely impossible! Wuji had been by his side before returning to Wudang, and he had no time to do this after returning to Wudang. In any way, this matter should not and cannot have anything to do with him.

However, Zhang Songxi's heart suddenly chuckled. These assumptions are all after Qingshu met Wuji, so what about Qingshu before he met Wuji? Before that, Wuji didn't know anything, and Qingshu never mentioned it. They don't know who he met or what he went through at that time.

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, did the senior brother also think of this possibility before? So as soon as Qingshu came over, he began to ask.

Zhang Songxi glanced at Song Yuanqiao.

Song Yuanqiao sat quietly on the chair, his feelings were restrained and not exposed, as if he was outside everyone.

Zhang Songxi felt that he should point out this problem, but when he recalled the bitter depression that he inadvertently captured in him when Shicai first walked into the main hall in Qingshu, he was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what to think in his heart. Born villain
