Chapter 689: Important Cases
Qu Xiaocang said lightly: "Master Qin Zhuang, Qiu Jiu is a key criminal that the Shenhou Mansion has been chasing, this person is full of evil, the Shenhou Mansion will naturally punish him severely, if you kill him here to take revenge, you will break the rules." β
Lord Qin Zhuang stared at Qiu Jiu, his eyes showed a cold light, and finally snorted coldly, and said: "If the Shenhou Mansion is to deal with it impartially, then it will be fine, otherwise I will definitely kill this person with my own hands." He put away his sword and turned to leave.
Elder Vermilion Bird's face was already quite ugly at this moment, his lips moved slightly, and he didn't say anything, just glanced at Elder White Tiger obliquely.
Qu Xiaocang squinted at Elder White Tiger and asked, "Elder White Tiger, I don't know if you have ever heard of the name of Lingnan White Castle?" β
"Lingnan White Castle?" Elder White Tiger groaned slightly, thought for a moment, and then nodded: "Lingnan White Castle has a unique stunt Iron Sheet Skill, and it is also somewhat famous in the rivers and lakes. However, Lingnan White Fort was burned by a fire seven years ago, and all 34 people were killed in the fire, and I heard that there were still two people left, but it seems that the reputation of Baibao was not inherited, and Lingnan Baibao should be removed from the rivers and lakes seven years ago. β
Everyone in the audience was also talking.
Lingnan White Fort actually has a mediocre status in the rivers and lakes, and there are two or three hundred sects like Baibao on the rivers and lakes, which are not outstanding, and some people present have heard of it a little, but nearly half of them are not very familiar with Lingnan Baibao.
At this time, after hearing what Elder Baihu said, he knew that there was still such a sect that had disappeared.
Qu Xiaocang said with a smile: "Elder White Tiger is really well-informed, but I don't know if Elder White Tiger knows why Lingnan White Fort was burned by a fire?" β
Elder White Tiger was cautious, shook his head slightly, and said, "Although I have heard some rumors, I don't know what the truth is. However, in the event of such a big case, your Shenhou Mansion will naturally go out to investigate, what is the truth, the Shenhou Mansion should have already had a result, right? β
Qu Xiaocang just smiled slightly, raised his voice, and asked, "Do you have any heroes who know about the White Castle case?" β
But when he saw Zhuge Changting, the leader of the Golden Sword Alliance on the stage, he took a few steps forward and stroked his beard and said, "I also had some understanding of the White Castle case back then. β
"Oh?" Qu Xiaocang raised his hand and said: "The master of Zhuge Sect knows about this case, it is very good, but I don't know if the master of Zhuge Sect knows who the murderer is?" β
Zhuge Changting thought for a moment before he said: "The Baibao case happened on the day of the marriage of the eldest lady of Baibao, and after the case happened that year, it was also a sensation in Lingnan. Many people have always wondered that even if someone drank too much and got drunk that day, the whole family would not be drunk, otherwise how could the whole family be buried in the fire, and no one would have noticed the fire in advance. Therefore, many people say that before the fire broke out in the White Fort that day, it was likely that someone had poisoned it, and the people in the White Fort did not know, so they were burned to death by the fire. β
"What the master of Zhuge Sect said is extremely true." Qu Xiaocang said: "After learning about this incident back then, the Shenhou Mansion immediately sent someone to investigate, but fortunately, someone rescued several corpses from the White Fort in time, and after we checked the corpses, we determined that these people were indeed more conscious by a drug." β
Zhuge Changting sighed: "In this way, my guess should not be wrong. It is said that only three people in the White Fort escaped death, two of them were ordered by the lord of the White Fort to go to the distance to run errands, and the other person was Mu Baixing, the eldest disciple of the White Castle, and some people testified that on the day of marriage, Mu Baixing was in the White Castle. β
"What happened?"
"The corpse was identified afterwards, because after the fire started, someone nearby immediately went to rescue it, so although most of the corpses were burned to the core, the entire outline of the body can still be recognized." Zhuge Changting said: "Among the more than 30 corpses, only Mu Baixing is missing. As soon as these words came out, there was a noise in the audience, and someone had already said loudly: "I have also heard of that matter, it is said that the fire of the White Castle was set by Mu Baixing, and he coveted the eldest lady of the White Castle, but he failed to become the son-in-law of the White Castle, nor could he inherit the position of the lord of the White Castle, so he was ruthless." β
There was a sound of scolding in the audience.
Qu Xiaocang finally said: "The results of the investigation of the Shenhou Mansion are roughly the same, although it has not been conclusively determined, but Mu Baixing is the most suspicious. Over the years, the Shenhou Mansion has also sent people to search for Mu Baixing, but this person is extremely hidden, and there has been no trace until he ...... last night! With a look, someone on the side immediately ripped open the second sack, and a tall strong man was curled up and rolled out of the sack.
The official of the Shenhou Mansion opened the water bag and splashed it on the face of the big man, and the big man quickly woke up, sat up, looked around, and understood, but he sneered and tilted his neck slightly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Mu Baixing, the Great Disciple of the White Castle." Qu Xiaocang said with a smile: "However, the main spring of the White Castle Fort has knowledge, and he will definitely expel this rebel who deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestors, and he will be cut by a thousand cuts." β
Mu Baixing sneered: "Lao Tzu is afraid that old guy can't succeed? Yes, the White Fort was burned by Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu burned so many people in the Bai family with a fire, Bai Ningyu's slut was also occupied by Lao Tzu before he died, Lao Tzu did everything he should do, and he lived for seven more years, which is enough. β
Mu Baixing was arrogant and domineering at this moment, and his speech was even more cold-blooded and ruthless, and when everyone present heard it, they all showed annoyance, and some people had already shouted: "Mu Baixing, you dog who deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestors, you are still hard-mouthed when you die." β
"This person has lost all his conscience, and people and gods are angry, and he will definitely be broken into ten thousand pieces!"
Mu Baixing craned his neck, closed his eyes, and did not speak with a sneer on his lips.
"We haven't been able to find him for all these years, and it wasn't until last night that we knew for sure that this man was hiding in the beggars." Qu Xiaocang sighed: "The beggar gang is the largest gang in the rivers and lakes, and it is also the head of the eight gangs and sixteen factions. Our Shenhou Mansion has always respected all the sects and factions in the rivers and lakes, and naturally has great respect for the beggar gang, and never thought that the beggar gang would be the hiding place of such people, so we have never put the search target on the beggar gang. β
His voice was smooth and sounded kind, but as soon as these words came out, it made the faces of the beggars change even more.
Many people secretly thought in their hearts, did the Shenhou Mansion suddenly come here today, did they want to meddle in the affairs of the beggars? The beggar gang has the status of the rivers and lakes today, of course, because of the large number of people, but also because of Xiang Baiying's Wen Taowu strategy, the Shenhou Mansion conceded three points to Xiang Baiying, and now that Xiang Baiying has passed away, the beggar gang has been unable to find a leader comparable to Xiang Baiying, and it is not impossible for the Shenhou Mansion to take the opportunity to make trouble.
The various sects in the rivers and lakes know that the existence of the Shenhou Mansion is to restrain or even control the Jianghu forces in the Chu State, but any sect that is strong is a thorn in the side of the Shenhou Mansion, and as soon as there is an opportunity, the Shenhou Mansion will definitely take the opportunity to weaken, and the Beggar Gang is the largest gang in the rivers and lakes, and the Shenhou Mansion wants to weaken the strength of the Beggar Gang, which is also a matter of course.
Although these people want to see the strength of the beggar gang weakened, they don't want the Shenhou Mansion to really meddle in the internal affairs of the beggar gang, if even the internal affairs of the first gang in the world can be interfered in the Shenhou Mansion, there is no need to mention the other sects on the rivers and lakes.
So this group of people is also ready, if the Shenhou Mansion is just here to let the beggars not come to the stage, they can watch the play on the side, but if the Shenhou Mansion really wants to take this opportunity to meddle in the affairs of the beggar gang, no matter what, they will come forward to support the beggar gang.
Elder Suzaku naturally heard the mockery in Qu Xiaocang's words, and was a little annoyed in his heart, but it was not easy to attack, so he could only say: "Captain Qu, the beggars have disciples all over the world, adding up to hundreds of thousands of people, and there are always a few grains of sand in a jar of rice, with all due respect, there are thousands of court officials, and naturally there are inevitably good and bad, among which some corrupt officials are unconscious, that is also a common thing." β
Qu Xiaocang said with a smile: "What Elder Suzaku said is extremely true. The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds, which is a reasonable thing. However, the corrupt officials in the imperial court will be severely punished, and once discovered, they will be severely punished. It's a pity that the beggar gang doesn't seem to have such awareness, knowing that there are such scum mixed in, but letting them get away with it, I really can't figure it out. β
Suzaku frowned and said, "If it weren't for Captain Qu finding out today, we wouldn't know that there were such people in the beggar gang, otherwise how could we sit idly by?" β
"Elder Vermilion Bird may not know, but Elder White Tiger doesn't know either?" Qu Xiaocang stared at the white tiger, and the gaze in his small eyes was sharp.
Elder White Tiger's body was shocked, but he still sneered, "How do I know? β
"These two are the hall masters of the Fire Monkey Rudder, and they are Cao Wei's subordinates." Qu Xiaocang said slowly: "And over the years, these two people have been following Cao Wei's side, Cao Wei is the beloved disciple of Elder White Tiger and has a close relationship, haven't you seen these two people before?" β
Elder White Tiger's lips moved slightly, but he didn't speak immediately, hesitated for a moment, and then said lightly: "I said before that there are many people in the beggar gang, and I have seen many people, not everyone who has seen it remembers. β
Qu Xiaocang said with a smile: "Since Elder White Tiger said so, I have to invite Master Cao Helm." β
The third sack was finally opened, but this time a naked man rolled out of it, also tied by a cow tendon rope, wearing only a pair of shorts all over his body, being splashed with cold water, and his whole body convulsed, Baihu could see it clearly, his face changed suddenly, and he lost his voice: "Cao ..... Cao Wei! β
"Not bad." Qu Xiaocang said coldly: "This is the proud protΓ©gΓ© of the White Tiger Elder, Cao Wei, the master of the Cao Helm of the Fire Monkey Rudder." This person committed a big case last night, and he was already angry, but Lord Cao Duo confessed more cases last night, and our Shenhou Mansion remembered every word he said clearly, I think Elder White Tiger must want to know what he said. Reaching into his arms, he took out a stack of dossiers, rolled them together, and with a wave of his arm, the dossier shot at the white tiger like an arrow.
The White Tiger took it, and Qu Xiaocang said lightly: "The Shenhou Mansion has no intention of disturbing the Beggar Gang Aoki Conference, but such a big case directly involves the Beggar Gang, and the human and material evidence is complete, if we Shenhou Mansion disposes of the helmsman of the Beggar Gang without authorization, and does not make it clear, it will inevitably make some people make irresponsible remarks, for the sake of justice, we will make this case public in front of everyone today." β
