Chapter 082: No Return
"This ...... This is the tea that Young Master Ping An drank that morning. ”
The short sentence almost used up Bai Bo's strength, and when he finished speaking with a trembling voice, he couldn't even hold on to his kneeling movements.
"Oh?"
Lu Songyin subconsciously glanced at his granddaughter who spoke amazingly just now, and then raised his hand slightly with suspicion.
Click... Click...
The porcelain vase shattered evenly, but the tea contained in it did not spill a drop, and all of it was suspended in the air.
"This ......"
Seeing the remains of the Necromantic Silkworm Gu floating in the tea and showing its form after ingesting the aura, Lu Songyin's brows couldn't help but furrow even tighter.
After the Necromantic Silkworm Gu is activated, it will gradually decay and annihilate, and according to the integrity of the wreckage in the water, Lu Songyin calculated that these Necromantic Silkworm Gu were activated in the vicinity of the killing of Situ Realm.
"Are you sure this is the tea that Lu Ping'an drank?" Lu Songyin squinted lightly and asked Bai Bodao.
"Absolutely! If one word is false, you can kill the little one right now!"
With desperate determination, Bai Bo gritted his teeth and replied.
If he can't clear the grievances of the young master, his old life has no meaning to live anymore.
"Well, I see, it's none of your business. ”
Lu Songyin nodded lightly and motioned for Bai Bo to step back, he was confident that an ordinary man would not dare to lie in front of him.
After pondering for a while, he suddenly turned his gaze to Lu Tianwang below, and asked with a deep meaning in his words: "Tianwang, you also heard it just now, what do you think is going on?"
Lu Songyin said, raised his arm and pointed down, and moved the pool of tea wrapped in spiritual energy to Lu Tianwang.
It turned out that not long after Lu Tianwang asked Lu Ping'an for his guilt, Lu Linglong plucked up the courage and told him the content of the conversation between Lu Tianwang and his cronies that night.
At first, Lu Songyin naturally didn't believe it, but when Bai Bo took out the physical evidence in front of him, everything was very different.
You must know that the Necromantic Silkworm Gu is a unique poison in Situ Realm, and in the entire Lu Mansion, although there are many people who know about the existence of this thing, only some core members of the family have really seen it.
Among them, Lu Linglong, who is Lu Songyin's granddaughter, naturally also includes.
And Lu Songyin knew very well in his heart that with the simplicity of her little granddaughter, it was impossible for her to get the Necromantic Silkworm Gu from Situ Jing's hands through improper means.
In this way, the cause and effect of the incident appear to be contradictory.
First, why did Situ Jing use the Necromantic Silkworm Gu before he was killed?
Second, why did he put the poison in the tea that should have been harmful, Lu Ping'an?
It would be unrealistic to resist in this way.
None of this makes sense.
On the contrary, if the truth is replaced by Situ Jing's unsuccessful poisoning and finally being killed by Lu Ping'an, all this is much more reasonable.
Moreover, Lu Ping'an's competition against Chen Shunkang in the eighth and fourth stages really proved that he has domineering anti-drug methods.
On this basis, if Lu Ping'an is the one who was framed, then what is the position of Lu Tianwang, who is very keen on punishing him?
Recalling Lu Tianwang's recent performances, Lu Songyin's mind inevitably emerged with a result that he least wanted to see.
"Master of the family, I can't figure this out, but Lu Ping'an is so cunning, and it shouldn't be difficult to deceive him with rhetoric to exonerate him for false testimony. ”
Although he was still eloquent when he spoke, in fact, Lu Tianwang's heart had already begun to beat the drum.
He never imagined that he would make a mistake at this point.
In fact, Lu Tianwang's strategy to frame Lu Ping'an is impeccable in terms of conception and implementation process.
But coincidentally, in the short time when Lu Ping'an smuggled away Situ Jing's body and was found and had to flee, Bai Bo happened to come back because he forgot to take something.
When he saw the tea cup that was broken on the ground and the traces of the fight in the house, the old man who was worried about Lu Ping'an's safety was so anxious that he almost turned his back on it.
But the loyalty to Lu Ping'an's family and the strong heart of the protector still made Bai Boqiang hold on.
After calming down, Bai Bo found the necromantic silkworm Gu soaked in the kettle on the table, these necromantic silkworm Gu were all activated under the influence of the aura released when Lu Ping'an made a move.
Although Bai Bo had no bloodline inheritance and could not cultivate, he had been working in the Lu Mansion for decades, so he naturally guessed that this was a ferocious poison.
At that time, he thought that the person who was poisoned was Lu Ping'an, and while heartbroken, with the determination to avenge the young master, he took some tea as evidence, and escaped from the Lu Mansion as soon as possible, ready to wait for the opportunity.
Later, Bai Bo, who was mixed with a group of beggars to hide from the wind, learned that Lu Ping'an was ordered to be hunted down by his family.
Combined with the previous things, he concluded that Lu Ping'an was framed by a traitor, so he took the risk of sneaking back to the Lu Mansion and found the only Lu Linglong who could be trusted.
Although Lu Linglong is young and not good at the city government, she has also grown a lot under Lu Ping'an's repeated advice.
She knew very well that this evidence alone was not enough to rehabilitate Lu Ping'an.
In the case of both sides insisting on their own words, grandpa will obviously be more inclined to Lu Tianwang, who shares the family affairs for him all year round.
She had to wait, wait for an opportune moment to make it public.
Finally, when he learned from the mouths of the people in the palace that Lu Ping'an participated in the Wanqiu Dabi and had the hope of competing for the championship, Lu Linglong knew that the opportunity had come.
So, she quietly went out of the mansion this morning, and after discussing with Bai Bo, who was placed in the inn in the city, she came to the venue of Wanqiu Dabi together.
In this way, there is this situation at the moment.
"Hehe, Tianwang, do you think Linglong is the kind of child who does not distinguish between good and evil?"
At this time, I saw Lu Songyin, who had listened to Lu Tianwang's explanation, and asked with a sneer.
As Lu Linglong and Bai Bo analyzed in advance, after winning the first place in the big competition, Lu Ping'an's importance in Lu Songyin's heart has faintly surpassed Lu Tianwang.
In Lu Songyin's words, he obviously did not agree with Lu Tianwang's explanation.
"Don't get me wrong, master, I didn't mean that. Lu Tianwang hurriedly explained, "But Linglong is only ten years old after all......
"Okay!" Lu Songyin's tone sank, and he interrupted with a hint of anger, "I'll talk about it when I go home." ”
As the so-called family scandal cannot be publicized, no matter what the truth is right now, it will be a huge scandal for their Lu family, and it is simply too embarrassing for almost the cultivators in the city to watch the excitement from the sidelines.
"Ping'an, although there is Linglong to guarantor for you, this matter still needs to be carefully investigated from beginning to end, come with me. ”
Lu Songyin turned his gaze to Lu Ping'an again.
"This ......"
Lu Ping'an came back to his senses from his daze, and he didn't know if he should go back with Lu Songyin.
Although things have taken a turn for the better, if Lu Tianwang can't be put to death, the calculating battle between the two sides will still not stop.
"Hey, have you forgotten what the occasion is?"
Just when Lu Ping'an felt embarrassed, Zhou Dayue's loud voice like a bronze bell suddenly came from a high place.
Everyone looked up following the sound, only to see that the sedan chair hanging in the air was slowly lowering, and finally landed smoothly in the center of the ring.
Two powerhouses of the Reincarnation Realm Empire, four Yuanwu Realm sedan chair guards, with the momentum of these six people alone, they have overshadowed tens of thousands of people in the audience.
"Temple...... Your Highness forgives your sins!"
Lu Tianwang had been reprimanded by Zhou Dayue earlier, and as soon as he heard this, he immediately "pounced" and fell to the ground, admitting his mistake in a trembling voice.
On the contrary to him, in the eyes of everyone in the audience at this moment, Lu Ping'an is simply rebellious.
Standing so close to Her Royal Highness the Princess, he dared not kneel, he really didn't know how to write the word "death".
However, what made everyone even more unexpected was that Her Royal Highness the princess didn't care about Lu Ping'an's disrespectful behavior, and she didn't mean to reprimand and ask for guilt at all.
"The one above, you are the head of the Lu family, right?"
Zhou Dayue walked out of the sedan chair, put his hands behind his back, looked up at Lu Songyin and asked.
"Back to the master, Xiao Xiu Lu Songyin is the head of the Lu family. ”
Although he said nothing in the Lu family, in front of Zhou Dayue, Lu Songyin knew that he was just an ant, so he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, so he immediately bowed and replied respectfully.
At this time, Hu Ling, who was sitting behind the light veil in the sedan chair, said loudly: "The head of the Lu family, when I entered the city, I witnessed the reference Lu Ping'an fighting with a team of killers, and among that team of killers, there were people who claimed to be members of your Lu family's law enforcement hall. ”
"So in my opinion, this matter does not need to be investigated as closely as you say. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of low shouts from the spectators.
Led by Chen Julu, some people who wanted to see Lu Ping'an severely punished showed disappointment on their faces.
Now that Her Royal Highness the princess has testified, coupled with the physical evidence that the old servant just presented, Lu Ping'an's family hunt and kill order has been canceled, which can be said to be a sure thing.
"Ahem, grandfather, there are actually some things I don't want to say now, but His Highness has said so, so please listen to it......"
Lu Ping'an coughed dryly, struck while the iron was hot, and began to tell Lu Tianwang about assassinating himself three or four times one by one.
Originally, Lu Ping'an didn't want Hu Ling to take care of his family affairs, after all, this favor was not easy to repay.
But since the latter has already come forward, he can only follow the trend.
"Is there such a thing?"
After listening to Lu Ping'an's narration, Lu Songyin was also shocked.
Although his granddaughter's words just now, as well as the remains of those necromantic silkworm Gu, had already made him basically conclude that Lu Ping'an was wronged, and Lu Tianwang might have calculated Lu Ping'an behind his back.
But he couldn't have imagined that this was just the tip of the iceberg, and Lu Tianwang had done so many heinous things behind his back.
Speaking of which, it is already a miracle that Lu Ping'an has survived until now.
"Lu Tianwang, you are so bold! Do you really think that you are the head of the Lu family?"
Feeling the teasing glances of the other family members around him, Lu Songyin was furious, and he wanted to kill Lu Tianwang immediately and clean up the portal.
Over the years, he has been obsessed with cultivation, and when he was running for the head of the family, Lu Tianwang was the first to stand up and support, and he handed over the affairs of the family to him.
As a result, it was his trust that made today's big mistake.
I don't know how many grievances like Lu Ping'an have over the years.
"Family master, don't listen to Lu Ping'an's words! These are all ...... made up by him."
Lu Tianwang quibbled in futility.
At this moment, his heart was completely broken.
He didn't expect that in this short period of time, the situation would be so drasticly reversed.
Originally, based on the evidence provided by Lu Linglong alone, it could only show that Lu Ping'an was forced to kill Situ Jing, and he could still try his best to muddy the water and avoid responsibility.
But Hu Ling's testimony just now was almost equivalent to ringing his death knell.
He has been convicted.
It is unforgivable to harm one's kindred.
What to do?
Is it the end of my life?
Lu Tianwang's mind went blank.
At the same time as his eyes flickered, Lu Ping'an's figure appeared in his field of vision.
"It's him, it's all because of him!"
Lu Tianwang's eyes were about to split, and the hatred in his heart rose to the extreme, and he actually snapped a few teeth.
Lu Tianbo and Lu Ping'an, father and son, one will destroy his Dao heart, and the other will make himself lose his high position in the family.
This deep revenge, he will die to avenge!
"I ...... I, Lu Tianwang, am dedicated to the Lu family, my heart, my line, clear as a mirror!"
Lu Tianwang, who had exhausted his calculations, was completely carried away by hatred and anger at this time.
He can't even tell whether he is good or evil now, and there is only one thought in his heart, and that is to let Lu Ping'an die!
"Demon thief!
At the same time, Lu Tianwang summoned the magic weapon Nine Dragons, armed it on the surface of his left hand, and punched the defenseless Lu Ping'an.
