Chapter 335: Senior Brother and Sister Join Forces
Anya was stunned for a moment when she heard this, Su Qiubai didn't wait for her to answer, and then said: "Li Houqun is willing to help you, and all he asks for is the position of the head of the house, otherwise what do you think he can do from you?" ”
Anya understood what he meant and agreed with his thoughts, but she also had some concerns in her heart, so she said: "I didn't care about this position of head originally, but the master also had his reasons for not passing this son on to Senior Brother Li. Senior Brother Li is too scheming, although he is not a bad person, I always feel that ...... Not very reassuring. ”
Su Qiubai nodded, and asked again: "Then do you plan to be the head of this sect yourself?" ”
This asked Anya again, she likes freedom by nature, and she has been free under the mountain all these years, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be bound by this rule, not to mention that now her closest master has also passed away, and she does not have much nostalgia for this master, so that she will be trapped in this mountain for the rest of her life, and she is also unwilling.
Su Qiubai naturally understood her thoughts, so she said: "Since you don't want to be the head of this house so much, and now someone wants to do it, if you can be sure that he is not a bad person, then what if you give this son to him?" ”
Anya looked at Su Qiubai hesitantly, and said after a while: "Although I don't want to be the head of this sect, I always have to entrust the master to a trustworthy person, and I have to think about this matter carefully." The top priority is to go to Senior Brother Li first and ask the truth about Master's murder. ”
Su Qiubai also knew that such an important matter could not be decided in a moment, so he didn't say anything more, and followed Anya to Li Houqun's room.
Li Houqun had always liked to be quiet, so his residence was also more remote, and when the two came to his small courtyard, they found that the door of his courtyard and house were all wide open, as if they were waiting for someone to arrive.
Since the door was open, the two walked directly into the house, and saw Li Houqun sitting at the table drinking tea, and there were three teacups on the table, which were obviously prepared for the two of them.
"If you two come a little later, this pot of good tea will be cold." He was not surprised by the arrival of the two of them, but said with a smile, raising his hand to signal the two to sit down.
Su Qiubai and Anya glanced at each other, and secretly said in their hearts that this Li Houqun was really a smart person, and he had expected that they would be able to figure out the trick in this matter early on, so he prepared tea and waited for them to arrive.
"How did Senior Brother Li know that we were coming?" After Anya sat down, she asked deliberately.
Li Houqun smiled, poured tea for the two of them, and then said: "Senior sister, why do you ask knowingly, since you are here, you have naturally understood the message I conveyed to you yesterday, let's not say secret words, just say what you have to say." ”
When Anya heard this, she was not polite to him, and asked directly: "Does Senior Brother know who killed Master?" ”
Li Houqun was not verbose, nodded and said, "Yes, I know." ”
Anya said in her heart, but she didn't rush to ask him who the murderer was, but asked first: "Since you know, why didn't you expose him before?" ”
Li Houqun took a sip of tea, glanced at her with a smile, and then said, "Is it useful to debunk?" With the power of the senior brother in the door, and his helper, I stood up and said that they killed the master, which is tantamount to suicide, and the senior sister must also understand my character, will I do this kind of thing? ”
This is true, before Su Qiubai came to help, even if Anya said that she wanted to investigate this matter, Zhong Mingyang had a way to suppress her ideas and make it impossible for her to implement them. Li Houqun has always known how to protect himself, so naturally he would not do such a seemingly unwise thing.
Without waiting for Anya to speak, Li Houqun continued: "But now that you have your friend to help, this matter has taken a big turn again, no matter how strong the senior brother is, he is actually a timid person, with your friend in charge, he doesn't dare to do anything to you clearly." The reason why he agreed to let you investigate before was because he expected that you wouldn't find out anything, but he didn't know that there was a person behind him who knew the truth. That's why I'm sure you're going to win him, and I'm going to help you. ”
Anya had already guessed these things, but she didn't care too much, what she noticed was another meaning in Li Houqun's words: "Senior Brother Li means that the murderer is Senior Brother?" You say he has a helper, but who is that? ”
Li Houqun stared at her for a long time before he smiled and said, "Didn't you guess everything, you just came to me to ask for evidence, why bother asking?" The mastermind behind the murder of the master is the senior brother is unmistakable, and this helper, besides Wang Bo, who else will there be? ”
Anya was shocked when she heard this, the information prompted in the master's lampshade was indeed Wang Bo! At this time, she joined forces with Li Houqun, and naturally she would not hide this from him, so she told him about the fragments of the porcelain bowl and the oil lamp she found in the master's room.
Li Houqun was also a little surprised after hearing this, so he said: "It seems that the master was aware of this before he died, but he only knew that the person who poisoned him was the third junior brother, but he didn't know that the real culprit behind the scenes was actually the senior brother. Pity his old man who has treated these two people well all his life, but in the end he was still victimized by them, it is really a wolf ambition, and the sin is unforgivable! ”
Anya tried to restrain the hatred and anger in her heart, and asked in a deep voice, "Does that senior brother have evidence that the two of them colluded to murder Master?" ”
Li Houqun nodded and said, "Naturally, there is, otherwise I wouldn't have called the two of you here." ”
Li Houqun walked to his wardrobe, opened the layers of clothes, took out a wooden box from the bottom floor, put it on the table in front of Anya, and took out the key that was close to him, and opened the wooden box.
Inside the wooden box was a jade wrench and a note.
Anya saw that the jade wrench was familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it, so she picked it up and took a closer look, but this time she found the secret of the wrench. There is a rectangular gap in the inner layer of the wrench, which looks like a dark grid, and Anya has not picked it off for a long time with her hand. Li Houqun on the side couldn't stand it, took the wrench from her hand, and fiddled with the mechanism in the mouth of the dragon head on the wrench, then heard a "click", and the dark grid opened in response, but there was nothing inside.
"This is ......," Anya looked at Li Houqun inexplicably.
Li Houqun handed her back the wrench and said, "You should have seen this wrench before, the third junior brother has been wearing it with him in the past, but suddenly one day, he has never seen this wrench wear it again, do you know why?" ”
Anya took the wrench, thought for a while, and suddenly thought of something, so she put the wrench close to her nose and smelled it, and sure enough, she smelled a faint honey fragrance. Anya was suddenly shocked and handed the wrench to Su Qiubai.
Su Qiubai didn't need to smell it to know what was in it, but asked curiously: "Since this wrench finger was used by him to hide drugs, it should be destroyed after it was used up, how did it end up in Senior Brother Li's hands?" ”
Li Houqun knew where his suspicions were, so he explained: "He naturally planned to destroy it, but he didn't destroy it thoroughly, at that time I already knew the secret between him and his senior brother, so I always kept an eye on him, and when he went to throw this wrench, I quietly followed him, and after he threw the wrench off the cliff, I went to find it." You know, it took me three days to find the wrench! ”
Anya nodded, and then asked, "But how did you find out about his secret relationship with Senior Brother?" If they want to hide from others, it shouldn't be difficult to do, right? ”
Li Houqun nodded and said: "It's a coincidence to say this, their private relationship should have lasted for a long time, and no one has found any clues, just because they never talk head-on, so that people mistakenly think that their personal relationship is not good." It wasn't until that time that I accidentally intercepted the note of their secret message, and I discovered the secret of their assassination of Master. But at that time, it was too late, and the toxins in Master's body had already spread all over the meridians, and he was powerless to return to heaven. ”
Anya took out the note in the box, opened it and looked at it, and saw that it read: The last dose of medicine has been completed, return the secret letter to me, otherwise I don't mind burning with you.
"This ...... There seems to be something else hidden in their relationship. Anya muttered.
Li Houqun nodded and said, "The third senior brother seems to have done this because of the threat of the senior brother, but in any case, the poison was given by him, and the idea was made by the senior brother, and they can't get rid of this crime no matter what." ”
Anya pinched the note in her hand, gritted her teeth and said, "The two of them are not worthy of being Master's apprentices, nor are they worthy of being our senior brothers!" I'm going to expose their true colors to all the disciples in the sect! ”
She put the note back in the box, picked up the wooden box and was about to leave, but was stopped by Su Qiubai: "Where are you going to find them?" Now that Zhong Mingyang has taken his disciples out of the mountain, don't say if you can find them, even if you find them, if you put these evidence in front of him, will he be able to confess? If he bites you back, or simply kills you with a fierce face, do you think the other disciples in the sect will dare to resist him? ”
Anya also calmed down when she heard this, and Li Houqun nodded approvingly: "It's still Mr. Su's clear mind, I gave you this evidence, but I didn't let you take it to confront Zhong Mingyang face to face, so it would be useless except to understand the momentary anger." ”
"So what do we do?" Anya was already out of order at this time, and her mind was not as calm as usual, and she couldn't think when she encountered a problem.
"What does Mr. Su think?" Li Houqun asked Su Qiubai.
Su Qiubai played with the wrench in his hand, and said after a while: "It is naturally not possible to take the initiative to attack, but we can dig a pit for them and let them jump in by themselves, and when the time comes, we will take the initiative and guide them into this pit step by step, no matter how great his ability is, he will not be able to show it." ”
Anya was in a fog when he said this, and felt as if he had said the method, but as if he hadn't said anything, so Anya asked directly: "I understand the truth, but how to implement it?" ”
