Chapter 131: Gradually Becoming Clear
"Nearly 100 martial arts people were killed inexplicably, and the palace also learned about this situation not long ago, but I don't know that it has something to do with you?
"The prince asked me to do something about the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, and I didn't need to report it to act cheaply. ”
"But at this juncture, you really don't have anything else on your mind?"
"Shizi Mingjian, Princess Changling has only one breath left, I won't be so anxious. Tokai, bring me those lists. ”
"Yes!" a response rang out in the distance outside the study door.
But at the moment when that voice sounded, Lu Sheng's face shook suddenly. Footsteps came slowly, and the door creaked open.
A man in his forties, with an unattractive appearance, slowly walked into the study door with a dossier in his hand.
"Master, the list you asked for has been sent ......"
"Well, put it down!"
Donghai gently put the file on the study case, and suddenly, he felt a sharp gaze shoot at him.
raised his head blankly, but saw Lu Sheng's scorching gaze, and in an instant, Donghai's expression froze. When he was thinking about why Lu Sheng's appearance was a little familiar in the East China Sea, Lu Sheng's figure had already come to the East China Sea like a ghost.
A palm slapped at Donghae's shoulder.
Donghai's face changed greatly, and he subconsciously made a mistake and wanted to avoid Lu Sheng's palm. But for a person with mediocre martial arts, it is tantamount to a fantasy to break free from Lu Sheng's palm power.
Lu Sheng didn't even need to change the power of his palm, and his palm was still slapped on Donghai's shoulder impartially.
"Boom-" A cyclone exploded from his palm.
"Poof-" A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Donghai instantly wilted.
Lu Sheng shot too fast, so fast that even Shen Ling was stunned on the spot. And Huo Tian's face was already blue at this moment. If he hadn't known that Lu Sheng's martial arts were not below him, and had understood Lu Sheng's position, Huo Tian would have already made a move.
"Lord Lu, what do you mean by this? Could it be that my subordinates have lost any courtesy? Even so, it should be taught by me, why should Lord Lu take action?"
"You admit he's your subordinate?"
"So what, Donghai is my people, who doesn't know about Tianquan Villa?"
"That's good!" Lu Sheng's voice sounded coldly, his eyes stared at Huo Tian with burning eyes, and his momentum surged out towards Huo Tian, "Do you want to know why I suddenly attacked him?"
"Please make it clear to Lord Lu!" Huo Tian also did not back down, and his momentum was churning, resisting Lu Sheng's coercion.
"Boom-"
The two momentum staggered, and a violent wind and wave burst out in an instant. The roof of the study rose into the sky as if it had been blown away by a cannonball, and the four walls were crumbling in the wind.
The momentum rose, instantly alarming the masters in Tianquan Villa, and one by one figures rushed out of their rooms and rushed from all directions.
At the foot of the mountain, Duan Fei, who had a comfortable face, bounced up from the ground, looking up at the spiritual power storm surging at the top of Tianquan Villa, his eyes flashed and his face suddenly changed.
"Oh no, something is wrong, brothers, go to the rescue—"
"About a month and a half ago, I just returned to Suzhou. It rained heavily at night, and a man passed through Suzhou to take shelter from my dilapidated house. Before leaving, leave a piece of silver as a reward.
The silver, engraved with the official seal of the official treasury silver, was the official silver that had been hijacked on the river three months ago. That person happened to be this person. You say he's your man, what do you explain?"
"What?" Shen Ling exclaimed, and his figure flashed and came to Lu Sheng's side, staring at Huo Tian with unkind eyes, "Lin Quan, what did Lu Sheng say, what do you explain?"
"Impossible!" Huo Tian looked at the East China Sea in Lu Sheng's hand in shock, but at this moment, the East China Sea showed a pleasant smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he said in Huo Tian's ear, look at how you die!
"The owner—"
"Huo Daxia——"
An exclamation sounded, and dozens of figures suddenly fell from the sky.
"Bang-"
The swords were unsheathed together, surrounding Lu Sheng and Shen Ling in the middle.
"Stand down!" Huo Tian shouted.
"The owner—"
"Stand down for me, and no one is allowed to come near. Huo Tian drank again, and the faces of the dozens of people who rushed over changed slightly, and finally put down their weapons and retreated far away.
Huo Tian's momentum slowly retracted, and the expression on his face became extremely complicated.
"Lord Lu, I'm ...... I don't know!" Huo Tian's deep voice sounded, "I know, Lord Lu will definitely not say that he has wronged the East China Sea, you said that you saw the East China Sea, then you must have seen it." You said that he took out the official silver, then he must have taken out the official silver as well.
But I, Huo Tian, can swear to the heavens, I don't know anything about this. As for a month and a half ago...... As early as three months ago, Donghai told me that my mother had died of illness and that he would go back to deal with the aftermath, as you said, he only returned a month and a half ago.
Donghai has been loyal to me for so many years. And I've always regarded him as a confidant......"
As he spoke, Huo Tian's gaze stabbed towards the East China Sea like a sharp sword, "Over the years, I have thinned you, I have always regarded you as my brother, I can deliver the brother of life and death, why do you ...... Why?
If you want money, why don't you ask me? I can give you as much as you want......"
"Owner, what are you talking about, didn't you order me to do this?" Donghai shouted with a frightened face, "Owner, you...... Are you the ones you sent to...... I understand...... Owner, you are so ruthless!"
"What nonsense! Donghai, you actually ......," Huo Tian shouted in a frustrated manner.
Lu Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly, but this time it was indeed the East China Sea. Tokai's words are too direct. It's as ironic as a wallgrass.
"Three months ago, were you ordered by Huo Tian? What about him?
"Yes, yes! He was the one who personally led the team, and he was the first to kill Shangguan Yinchuan. My lord, I will recruit, I will recruit anything...... I'm just a little person, little person......" Tokai screamed with a shudder.
"I remember that on the day of the crime, you were indeed not in Tianquan Villa, right?" Shen Ling asked with a faint smile.
"Yes! I was in Qizhou. Lianyun Mansion. ”
"With the old man?"
"Yes, I will accompany the prince. Donghai, Donghai, you are really smart but you are clever and mistaken, if you don't say this more, I really don't know how to prove my innocence...... Are you so short of money, is it worth it?"
"Money?hahaha......" Donghai knew that he could no longer frame Huo Tian, and suddenly changed his greedy face and was afraid of death, looking up to the sky and smiling, "Money, what is money? What Lao Tzu wants, it's your life!"
The last few words were spit out, and Donghai's face was bruised and tendoned, and the hideous meridians seemed to be tangled with earthworms. Resentful eyes, like a devil crawling out of hell.
"Lin Quan, you brute, pig and dog are not as good as you! The world regards you as a hero of great benevolence and righteousness...... Hahaha...... However, how inferior are you and Guo Songling?
Back then, the master poured out his heart and lungs for you, but you ...... But what did you do? betray your brother, throw my master out of the sin alone, and change your name and still live happily?
It's all because the master doesn't know anyone, and he is blind to worship you two beasts. But that's okay, miss...... Miss will let you ...... that you may fulfill the vows you took at the time of prayer......
Hahaha...... Hahaha......"
As he spoke, countless blood foams suddenly erupted from the corners of Donghai's mouth, and black blood kept gushing out from the corners of his mouth.
"You!" Huo Tian's face changed, his figure flashed to Donghai's side, and grabbed Donghai's throat, "You took poison?"
"Now that you've recognized me, I deserve to be unlucky. But...... I avenged half of the master's revenge, and the remaining half, the young lady will also avenge it...... Lin Quan, I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you to come down, I'm going to watch you kneel in front of your master and plead guilty......"
"How many times have I told you, it was originally the three of us who went together that day, but it was the third brother who gave us a soft tendon!"
"Do you think I would believe it? If it weren't for your betrayal, the whereabouts of Madame would have been known to Princess Changling? That night...... A lot of blood...... That night...... The whole village died...... It's you...... You're the one who harmed ......."
"Miss, Bai Ling is still alive?"
"Of course you hope that Miss is dead...... It's a pity that God's eyes are not completely blind...... Leave Miss alive...... It's the ...... who comes back for revenge."
Donghai finally lost his breath, Huo Tian took a few steps back in a daze, and sat on the ground with a plop.
The atmosphere was instantly oppressively deadly.
Lu Sheng gently pulled Shen Ling's sleeve, "What's the situation?"
"It should have something to do with what happened back then. Shen Ling's face was gloomy, and he said to Lu Sheng in a low voice, "The matter of the year ended with Bai Ye being Ling Chi at the East Gate, but at that time, the three heroes of Jiangnan planned to die together.
The night before, the trio had drunk for the last time. Bai Ye Jianghu is known as a wonderful scholar, and he doesn't know how to use a soft tendon in Guo Songling and Lin Quan's wine.
After that, he sent them away and went to the Ningguo Marquis Mansion to receive his death. Before leaving, Bai Yetuo was alone with the two of them. However, when they arrived after the drug was exhausted, Bai Ye's wife and daughter, along with the entire village, were killed by Princess Changling. So far, they have survived under the protection of the Nanling Palace. ”
"When we arrived, all we saw was a charred corpse!" Huo Tian's voice sounded in a low voice, "We pulled out the East China Sea from the pile of dead people. He is the third brother's scholar...... The third brother has always treated him as his own brother, so I have always treated him as my brother.
But we searched all over the corpses back then, and there were no more living people. Unexpectedly, the third brother's child was still alive......
If she wants to kill me, why bother so much? This is what I owe her, it is that I have failed my third brother, and that I have not fulfilled the promise I made back then...... She should have come straight to me...... It should be ......."
As if infected by Huo Tian's sad atmosphere, at this moment, the sun set the horizon, and the last trace of sunset disappeared at the end of the sky.
In Lu Sheng's eyes, Huo Tian suddenly became depressed, and his whole person seemed to become twilight in an instant.
This is what I owe her, and she wants to take my life, even though why should I do it again?
A sentence suddenly churned in Lu Sheng's mind. For a moment, that doubt seemed to be enlightened.
"I see! If what Tokai said is true, then ...... Guo Songling's death can be regarded as having an answer......"
