Chapter 537: The Truth (I)
Seeing that the election was going to be held tomorrow, Li Mang was still indifferent, and he did not find a way to prove his innocence.
I have been looking forward to it for a long time, and the election date will be held as scheduled, but because there is only one candidate for Zhao Cheng left, this election seems to have no practical significance. If nothing else, everyone will vote for him.
On the square, all the members of the Yan faction gathered together, from groups one to nine, as well as task groups, personnel groups, intelligence groups, discipline groups, and logistics groups, etc., they stood in a row, showing their heroic posture.
On the stage, the elders and elders led by Yu Qing sat on the chairs on both sides, they were the pillars of the sect, and it was only fitting that they should witness the election of the sect master.
The person presiding over the election was of course Elder Yu Qing, his position in the Yan Sect was very important, even if he wanted to be the head of the sect, he would get everyone's response. But for the sake of Yanhuang orthodoxy and the better development of the Yan faction, he resolutely gave up the position of the head of the sect, and the high wind and bright festival made everyone feel admired.
Elder Yu Qing stood up and looked around at the more than 10,000 people below, and his heart was full of emotion, and he sighed and said, "Yan Huang is unfortunate, because of internal factional disputes, it is heart-wrenching that the thousand-year-old foundation is ruined. But the matter has come to this, it is too late to repent, and now that the Yan faction has just been established, in order not to repeat the mistakes of the past, and also in response to the current form, I decided to re-elect the head of the sect, the purpose is to tie the hearts of the whole sect together. ”
"Once the master of the door is elected, everyone must be loyal to him and obey his commands, even the elders' house, including himself, who has absolute authority." Elder Yu Qing emphasized strictly.
"Ten days ago. The House of Elders has already elected candidates for the head of the sect, namely Zhao Cheng, the leader of the personnel group, and Li Mang, the leader of the discipline group, both of whom are heroes of the sect. They are the best, and their qualifications must be recognized by everyone. After a pause, seeing that the people below nodded one after another, Yu Qingcai continued: "But five days ago, the dean of the side courtyard suddenly left a suicide note to kill himself, pointing out that Li Mang forced him to do things, considering the bad nature of the matter, I will temporarily exploit Li Mang's candidacy, and I can restore my innocence if I can prove my innocence before the election." ”
"Li Mang. Have you found proof of your innocence? Elder Yu Qing looked at Li Mang, who was standing at the head of the discipline group below, his gaze was flat, and he didn't hope. Nor ridiculed. As the election approaches, he must set an example of fairness and not favor either side.
The rest of the people also looked in Li Mang's direction, their eyes flickering. Or disappointment. Or schadenfreude. They understood that Elder Yu Qing was just asking a routine question, and Li Mang didn't investigate at all yesterday, and spent the whole day in the courtyard of the discipline team.
Coincidentally, the queues of the discipline group and the personnel team were next to each other, and Zhao Chengcheng stood not far from Li Mang's side. Actually, he wanted to laugh. The ease with which he could sit on the throne of the Lord of the Sect was something he had never dared to imagine.
"Back to the Great Elder, I have found evidence."
However. Li Mang's answer directly woke Zhao Cheng up from his dream, and looked at Li Mang beside him with his mouth wide open, at this moment he had only one thought in his heart: How could it be?
Everyone else was also in an uproar, Li Mang had already found evidence? Doesn't that mean he can run as scheduled?
"Oh?" Elder Yu Qing was also a little surprised, as far as he knew, Li Mang had not found any evidence, and now he suddenly heard that Li Mang himself said that he had found evidence, he was inevitably a little surprised. But he quickly recovered, still very calmly: "I have already said that as long as you can prove your innocence, you can immediately restore your candidacy, you can explain things clearly in front of everyone now!" ”
"The reason why the dean walked out the news of my secret treatment of patients in the side hospital and left a suicide note for reporting it was all because he was threatened." Li Mang got a straightforward overview.
"What kind of threat would make him choose suicide to compromise?" Elder Yu Qing asked, this is also what everyone thinks is strange. It is not surprising to say that the news that threatens the dean to walk Li Mang, but it is extraordinary for the dean to choose suicide.
"Because the dean has a beloved wife and a lovely and well-behaved daughter, the murderer used their lives as bargaining chips to coerce the dean into submission, including making him commit suicide." Li Mang said.
"Nonsense, our intelligence team is also investigating this case, and I have also investigated the situation of his wife and daughter afterwards, they live in the capital, they are as usual, and they have never been threatened or kidnapped." The head of the intelligence team not far away refuted.
"That's because the murderer only sent people to ambush them, and they themselves don't know the situation they are in, only the dean knows about it. He once received a photo of his wife and daughter, and he knew that his wife and daughter were already threatened by others, so he could only do what the murderer instructed. Li Mang explained.
"This ...... You've got proof! "The head of the intelligence group was a little unconvinced, his intelligence team did not investigate this.
"The dean contacted his family almost every day, but it was only a phone call, but three days before the incident, the dean called home a second time." Li Mang was unflustered.
"One more phone call doesn't prove anything, does it? I found out about the phone number you mentioned, but the dean just made a mistake at the time, and he hung up the phone quickly, and there was nothing obvious in the call. "The deputy head of the intelligence group actually knew about this, and it seems that he has really put in some effort.
"Don't you think the Dean's tone at the time seemed nervous?" Li Mang asked rhetorically.
"This ......" Hearing Li Mang say this, the deputy head of the intelligence group also recalled the recordings he had heard, and really felt that something was wrong.
"Even if what you say is true, it's just speculation, not evidence." The leader of the intelligence team interjected at this time, the Yanhuang intelligence group claimed to know the world, if the intelligence was lost to Li Mang alone, he would have no face as the team leader.
"I didn't say it's evidence, just analysis." Li Mang nodded, and then added: "On the day of the incident, the dean happened to walk out with me and the news of the side courtyard, and he was actually very nervous at that time, so he returned to the room alone, only to find a note on the table, which read: 'Leave a suicide note to frame Li Mang, and then commit suicide. Be clean, I'll take care of your family'. Because the murderer could kill his wife and daughter at any time, the dean did not dare to disobey, so he followed the instructions of the note to leave a suicide note, and then committed suicide. ”
"How could you possibly know this, could it be that there is something hidden in this that we don't know?" The head of the intelligence team sneered, as if he had heard the joke of the century
