Outside the tent, those young disciples were still shouting that Shen Muzhi would be executed, but had they really determined in their hearts that Shen Muzhi was the murderer who killed Fang Ting?
Shen Muzhi followed behind Elder Yue and walked out of the tent with a limp.
The disciples outside saw the two of them coming out, and after a pause, their voices gradually became quieter.
The violent emotions on those young faces also subsided a lot, and one after another their eyes fell on Elder Yue, staring at them tightly with an inquiring meaning.
And when Shen Qifeng and the others saw Elder Yue come out like this, their faces suddenly changed.
Zhao Zhengguang breathed a sigh of relief.
How to solve Fang Ting's matter in the end, the key is still on Elder Yue. As long as she is willing to believe that Shen Muzhi is wronged, then this matter will not be difficult to solve. If she didn't believe Shen Muzhi, then this matter would be difficult to handle. Fortunately, it seems that Elder Yue should have chosen to believe in Shen Muzhi. In this way, no matter how much they jump, it will be in vain after all.
Zhao Zhengguang thought about it, glanced at Shen Qifeng, his face was gloomy, and he should be in a bad mood at the moment.
However, this is far from the end of the matter.
Although Elder Yue believed that the murderer was not Shen Muzhi, whether the real murderer was Huang Zhen or not had not yet been decided.
Now these disciples are furious one by one, they all choose to believe Huang Zhen and demand that Shen Muzhi be executed, if they don't find out the truth and put it in front of them one by one, they are afraid that something will happen later.
Moreover, if after returning to the door, these disciples and the disciples in the sect all make trouble together, even if Yu Hefeng believes that Shen Muzhi is innocent, I am afraid that the head of the sect will also take the opportunity to ask for Shen Muzhi to be dealt with, although it may not be directly executed, but it is likely to ask him to be expelled from the door.
Zhao Zhengguang has always been strong in the past two years, but no matter how strong he is, the head is the head after all, and the senior brother is the senior brother after all. Even if he is reluctant to give up Shen Muzhi, I'm afraid that when the time comes, he will have to take a step back.
Such a scene must not be what Zhao Zhengguang wants to see. Therefore, in order to avoid such a scene, he must clarify this matter today.
Moreover, since Shen Muzhi's entry, the disciples in the sect have always had some opinions about him, at first because he was suspected of being a spy when he first started, and he was involved with Lin Changying, and then because of the maintenance of Zhao Zhengguang and He Xian, and then because of Yuzhi's matter.
After the Yuzhi incident, the disciples' views on Shen Muzhi had gradually changed from dislike and unwelcome at the beginning to hatred.
On this trip to the secret realm, the incident of Qi'an happened again, coupled with the appearance of Su Hua, the emotions of these disciples towards Shen Muzhi in their hearts have accumulated to a new high.
And Fang Ting's matter can be regarded as a spark, which completely detonated these emotions, so there was a scene where these people shouted to execute Shen Muzhi just now.
But this is not necessarily all bad.
Fang Ting's matter, Shen Muzhi is innocent. As long as the truth can be found out, then when the real murderer is found, these disciples who have just shouted for Shen Muzhi to be executed, after they find out that they have wronged Shen Muzhi, the huge contrast in things will make them subconsciously reflect in their hearts and begin to learn to re-examine Shen Muzhi. This is a good opportunity for Shen Muzhi to reshape his image in the future.
Of course, the premise of this opportunity is that Zhao Zhengguang has to dig out the truth about Fang Ting's matter.
Thinking about it, Zhao Zhengguang turned his head to look at Elder Yue and asked, "Does Elder Yue already have an answer?"
Elder Yue nodded, and immediately lowered his eyes to look at Huang Zhen, who was still kneeling on the ground, and opened his mouth coldly: "Miss Huang, tell the truth." ”
Huang Zhen's body trembled slightly, and then he looked up at Elder Yue, his tearful eyes were full of sad disappointment: "I really didn't expect Elder Yue to be so easily deceived. Yes, I admit that I did deliberately lead Shen Muzhi to the flower forest, and Senior Sister Fang asked me to do so, she wanted to avenge Yuzhi. The jade died, but Shen Muzhi was still alive and well, why? Now Senior Sister Fang is also dead, she was killed by this demon with a beast heart, but I didn't expect that even your old man would rather believe his empty words than believe the facts that he heard with his own ears and saw with his own eyes. You even think that I killed Senior Sister Fang, but why should I kill her? I have no grievance or enmity with her, but I am like a sister, why should I kill her?"
Huang Zhen's questioning made Elder Yue frown, and he was a little unable to answer for a while.
Indeed, no one knows why Huang Zhen did this, including any.
In any original plan, there was indeed a consideration of killing Fang Ting, but that was when Shen Muzhi's body was found and Zhao Zhengguang tracked down to Yuhefeng's side, so that Fang Ting's death could be pushed to Zhao Zhengguang's side and Zhao Zhengguang was also pulled into the water.
No one here expected that Fang Ting would die like this, and Shen Muzhi would come back alive.
However, although things did not go according to his original plan, Fang Ting's death provided them with a new opportunity. As long as Fang Ting's death can be blamed on Shen Muzhi's head, then what if Zhao Zhengguang is the peak master of Zhengyang Peak?
In less than half a year, Shen Muzhi was involved with three lives at once, and even Zhao Zhengguang would definitely not be able to save it.
But the development of things surprised them again that Elder Yue of Yuhe Peak believed Shen Muzhi so easily, and they didn't know whether to say that she was calm or cold-blooded!
Listening to Huang Zhen's questioning, after thinking about it for a while, he still opened his mouth to help: "One is Shen Muzhi who has a criminal record, and the other is Huang Zhen, who is the same sister as Fang Tingqing, Senior Sister Yue would choose to believe Shen Muzhi and doubt Huang Zhen." It seems that this Fang Ting is not Senior Sister Yue's own disciple, in the end it is still different. Who killed her, it doesn't matter to you at all, as long as you don't offend our high-ranking and powerful Lord Zhao Feng, as for the murderer, just find a scapegoat!"
Any such ridicule made Elder Yue's face a little ugly.
Huang Zhen lowered his head and said in a sad voice, "Thank you Elder Ren for helping the disciple speak." However, this matter is like this, since Elder Yue has already determined that Senior Sister Fang was killed by me, then what's the use of saying more! Now that I have such an end, I can only blame myself for my own bad life, unlike Shen Muzhi's good life, I can have a good master, and I can kill people without harm. As he spoke, the tears began to fall, and fell silently, one drop after another to the ground.
These tears were like falling into a pot of oil in an instant, and the surrounding disciples who had just quieted down instantly boiled again.
"Execute Shen Muzhi!"
"Shen Muzhi must die!"
"Let Huang Zhen go and execute Shen Muzhi!"
......
Intense sound, deafening.
Shen Muzhi raised his eyes to look at the hideous faces around him, listening to those hoarse voices, this feeling was very different from the feeling he had just heard in the tent.
Although he had already been mentally prepared, he couldn't help but shudder at this moment when he looked at these vicious eyes staring at him as if they had a common enmity with him.
He couldn't help but ask himself what he had done to make these people be deceived into such a fierce hatred by a few tears.
What exactly did he do?
Shen Muzhi's face was already a little pale, but he couldn't help but be whiter at this moment.
Xuan Cheng on the side seemed to see that something was wrong with his emotions, quietly leaned over, stretched out his hand to support him, and whispered: "Don't listen to this, you just need to remember that your master and I both believe in you." If He Xian is here, he will believe you too. ”
Shen Muzhi closed his eyes, tried his best to pull out the emotions that he had fallen into the quagmire, and after taking a deep breath, he opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Xuan Cheng, squeezed out a smile at him, and said, "I'm fine." ”
Immediately, he looked back at the senior brothers and sisters who were shouting for him to be executed at this moment, and after hesitating for a moment, with three points of sadness, three points of unwillingness, and three points of anger, he pushed Xuan Cheng away, took two steps forward, and stood in front of everyone.
When the people saw that he seemed to be about to speak, they didn't know why, and suddenly their voices became quieter.
Shen Muzhi swept over the faces that were not unfamiliar, even a little familiar, and after taking a breath, he asked calmly: "I have a question that I want to ask you." Do you hate me so much because I've done something wrong, or is it because you just don't like me?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then Luan Yan of Sword Head Peak was the first to stand up, and accused Shen Muzhi: "You still have the face to ask us what you did wrong? Let's not say that Senior Sister Fang this time, did you kill Senior Brother Qi before? Did you kill the Jade Zhi of Jade and Peak?"
Shen Muzhi looked at him and took over: "Since you mentioned Qi'an and Miss Yuzhi, then let's talk about these two things, how about it?"
There was a hint of irritation in Luan's eyes, but before he could answer, someone shouted behind him, "Okay! ”
Shen Muzhi looked at that person, with a somewhat familiar face, but he couldn't remember whether it was a disciple of Xianlai Peak or Jiuhua Peak. He looked at him and said, "Then let's talk about Qi'an first." ”
"What is there to say about Senior Brother Qi's matter, when you killed him, not only our people from Sword Head Peak saw it, but you people from Zhengyang Peak also saw it, do you still want to deny it?" Luan Yan was probably very worried that Shen Muzhi would say those details at that time. After all, most of the disciples of the other peaks were not clear about these details.
Shen Muzhi knew his thoughts, and replied lightly: "I did make a move at that time, I don't deny it, there is nothing to deny, I never think that my shot is wrong." Could it be that Senior Brother Luan thinks that he can only sneak attack me with a sword from behind Qi'an, and I am not allowed to fight back?"
Shen Muzhi said this very quickly, Luan Yan wanted to stop it, but when the words came out, Luan Yan's face changed slightly, and he shouted a little angrily: "At that time, Senior Brother Qi lost an arm and was already seriously injured, even if he attacked you from behind, he couldn't do anything to you! As soon as you made a move, you wanted to kill him! You obviously harbored evil intentions a long time ago." You hate him for not being able to see you with a demon girl by your side, so you took the opportunity to kill him!"
"If I had harbored evil intentions a long time ago, why would I have rescued him!Didn't Ning Xiaoliu tell Senior Brother Luan that he and Senior Brother Yan were both rescued by me and Miss Su! Otherwise, Qi An's injuries at that time would have died at the hands of that tree demon, and there would not be a later revenge on him, and he would attack me behind with his sword!" Shen Muzhi stared at Luan Yuan, not letting him go at all, word for word!
Luan Yan's face was ugly, and when he wanted to refute again, he was stopped by the person next to him: "Senior Brother Luan, don't talk for now, let Shen Muzhi talk about the whole thing well." When he finishes speaking, if there is anything wrong, it's not too late for you to refute it!"
Luan Yan was stopped like this, so he had to keep his mouth shut.
After Shen Muzhi glanced at him, he glanced at the others, and then explained the matter in detail. After speaking, he looked at the crowd with different expressions and asked, "Do you think I made a mistake?"
After a moment of silence, someone whispered, "Senior Brother Keqi is still dead!"
"Because he died, so I was wrong, right? What if it was me who died?" Shen Muzhi looked at the man and asked in a deep voice.
The man lowered his head to stagger his aggressive gaze, and his voice lowered: "But you are still alive after all!"
Shen Muzhi laughed, his face full of bitterness: "So, it's wrong for me to live, right?"
The man was silent.
After another moment, someone asked, "What about the matter of Yu and Feng Yu to the girl?"
Shen Muzhi closed his eyes, and after collecting his emotions for a while, he looked at the person who asked the question, and said, "I am indeed responsible for the matter of the jade girl. I was anxious for my sister's safety, and I did hurt her. But I didn't kill ......her!
"Someone else killed her. Elder Yue's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Shen Muzhi's words: "Yuzhi's death really has nothing to do with Shen Muzhi. Although I, Yu and Feng, are both women, they will not swallow their anger to the point that they don't even dare to investigate the truth when their disciples die. However, there are many cases involved in this matter, so it is inconvenient to make it public. But whether it is the matter of Yuzhi or the matter of Fang Ting today, it has nothing to do with Shen Muzhi, and there is no need for everyone to doubt this!"
After all, Elder Yue still didn't want Shen Muzhi to directly say that Yuzhi was killed by Lin Fangfei.
In fact, after Lin Fangfei was directly detained by Zhao Zhengguang during the deliberations at Zhengyang Peak, Tao Hua went to Zhengyang Peak to make trouble several times, and all kinds of rumors spread at that time, although in the end the news was released that Lin Fangfei was in retreat. But as long as you are a little sober in your heart, you can probably guess that the events at that time should be inseparable from Lin Fangfei.
However, there is still a difference between the guessed conclusion and Shen Muzhi's direct statement.
At this moment, Shen Muzhi was stopped by Elder Yue like this, although he didn't finish speaking, but the people who had a little bit in their hearts naturally had a definite answer.
The faces of the female disciples of Yuhefeng were the most ugly.
Lin Fangfei, as the master of a peak, did not hesitate to kill a completely innocent disciple of the peak because of her own selfish and personal grudges, just to frame another disciple. This matter is completely a big stain, not only Lin Fangfei's own stain, but also the stain of Yuhe Peak, and even more so the stain of hundreds of disciples up and down Yuhe Peak.
Shen Muzhi looked at the complicated expressions of the people in front of him, took a deep breath, mentioned his somewhat tired spirit, and said: "Everything that should be said has been said, I am indeed responsible for the matter of the jade girl, and I have never denied this." If you must blame me for Miss Yuzhi's death, I will accept it. But, in the case of Ki'an, I don't think I did anything wrong. In today's matter of Senior Sister Fang, I didn't make the slightest mistake. I listened to Huang Zhen's words, but the forest helped to find people. Am I wrong?After being introduced into the flower forest and meeting Senior Sister Fang, Senior Sister Fang attacked me, and I didn't fight back, am I wrong? She is dead now, I can understand that I am suspicious, and it is normal for everyone to suspect me, but just because of suspicion, because of a few tears of Huang Zhen, you want to ask you, is it really just because of heartache that Senior Sister Fang was killed, or is it for some other reason?"
When the words fell, no one in front of Shen Muzhi dared to raise their heads and look directly at Shen Muzhi's gaze.
After a while, someone wanted to speak, but Shen Muzhi didn't give him a chance, and after smiling, he said, "Actually, what you think of me is your freedom." I stand in front of you today and say all this, just to try my best. Now that I've tried, you can keep shouting. With that, he turned and left.
The crowd was silent behind them, and there was no sound for a long time.
After a long time, Luan Yan shouted angrily: "Shen Muzhi, don't think that you can confuse these things by saying a few words casually. You know what you've done!"
"Yes, I know it. Shen Muzhi paused at his feet, turned his head to look at Luan Yan, and replied with a smile: "What is Senior Brother Luan doing, I guess Senior Brother Luan also knows it in his heart, right?"
Luan Yan's eyes flashed, and he was a little weak.
"Senior Brother Luan, you'd better not forget that I was trapped in a cave on Xuanwu Mountain, I remember it, we ...... The coming day is long!" Shen Muzhi looked at him with a smile on his face, and his calm words made Luan Yan's heart tremble inexplicably. Obviously, the person in front of him had not yet entered the middle realm, but at this moment, it made him feel like he was facing a great enemy.
