Chapter 328: Murder
Shen Shuqing and Shen Shushu did not know about the matter of the Punishment Palace.
After walking around the entire Lingxian Gate a few times, not long after arriving at the back mountain, I saw Wu Zhou, a messenger disciple who was following the Great Elder, hurriedly catching up.
Sweating profusely, but he couldn't take care of it, Wu Zhou bowed his waist slightly, and kept panting: "Shu, Senior Brother Shuqing......"
"Wait."
Shen Shuqing raised his hand and signaled, "Slow down first, and then talk about it after thinking clearly." β
Wu Zhou nodded.
After a moment's relief, he twisted his eyebrows and said with a solemn expression: "Senior Brother Shuqing, the Great Elder asked you to go to the torture hall of the Punishment Hall as soon as possible. β
"The Temple of Punishment?"
Shen Shuqing couldn't help but wonder, so she asked, "Did Master say what happened?" β
"Yes, yes, it's just that, Senior Brother Shuqing, you have to be mentally prepared, I just heard that it seems that the sixth elder was seriously injured, and it was because of you...... Moreover, the four elders also said that he had evidence in hand......"
The more he talked to the end, the lower Wu Zhou's voice became, so low that it was almost inaudible.
But Shen Shuqing and Shen Shushu both heard clearly.
"This, how is this possible?"
Shen Shushu exclaimed, and subconsciously looked towards Shen Shuqing, her eyebrows and eyes instantly dyed with a trace of worry.
Suddenly, she looked angry, gritted her teeth and stomped her feet: "Brother, this matter has nothing to do with you, why does it have to involve you?" I will also go to this torture hall, no matter what the reason, I will not let you suffer this wrong! β
Although at that time, she was stunned by her own brother, but in her opinion, even if she hated the Sixth Elder very much, in front of many disciples and elders, he would definitely not do anything to the Sixth Elder!
Even if it's hands-on......
That should be the big devil himself......
Although since she woke up, her brother did say so to her.
But when she thinks about it, it's not impossible.
"Uh," the little girl's words almost stopped Wu Zhou.
At this moment, he realized that there was a little girl beside Senior Brother Shu Qing who was veiled and couldn't see her face clearly.
"Senior Brother Shuqing, this is ......"
Wu Zhou hesitated slightly, but his curious gaze couldn't help but drift towards the little girl.
Shen Shuqing reacted suddenly, and her slender fingers raised slightly: "It's my sister." β
As he spoke, he rubbed Shen Shushu's hair and said gently, "I'll go to the torture hall with you now." β
"What about me?"
As soon as she heard this, the little girl knew that he had no intention of taking her with her.
How can this work?
Even if she can't beat others, at the very least, she can move her mouth!
Guaranteed that they are powerless to refute!
Shen Shushu tilted her face slightly, and tightly tugged at Shen Shuqing's sleeve, "Brother, you can't go alone." β
Shen Shuqing lowered her eyes and gently pulled away her hand: "It's inconvenient for you to go over, I'll let Wu Zhou send you back to the room first, if you are sleepy and stuffy, what will happen if you lie down in bed first?" β
"But ......"
"Shhh
She didn't even finish a sentence, but was intercepted by Shen Shuqing: "Be good, when my brother goes back, I'll bring you your favorite osmanthus cake, okay?" β
"Not good."
Does she look like the kind of person who can buy it for osmanthus cake!?
Shen Shushu took his hand and refused to let him go.
Shen Shuqing was very helpless.
Qu Zhi rubbed his eyebrows, and his eyes were full of obvious tenderness: "That's it, I'll let you go back, so as not to let you sneak away halfway." β
Shen Shushu wilted in an instant.
"Who the hell wants to escape......
If you don't let her follow to get justice, you can even think of the idea of escaping halfway.
Seeing this, Shen Shuqing hooked her lips and chuckled, and then instructed Wu Zhou: "Wu Zhou, you go back and report to the master first, just say, I'll be there later." β
"Yes."
Although he was anxious for the Great Elder in his heart, Wu Zhou didn't dare to say much, so he had to bow his head and respond.
He is the messenger disciple of the Great Elder, but under the instruction of the Great Elder, the disciples of the Great Elder can also send him to do things.
......
"Brother, don't you really think about taking me along?"
Seeing that she was getting closer and closer to her room, the little girl still asked without giving up.
Shen Shuqing's footsteps did not stop: "Don't think about it." β
Shen Shushu couldn't help but feel frustrated, but she still cheered up: "No matter how you say it, I can be regarded as a witness......
Shen Shuqing was helpless: "Is it just your testimony that you have been in a coma all the way?" β
The little girl looked slightly stunned, instantly reacted from his words, pretended to have discomfort in her throat, and coughed lightly: "...... It's not impossible. β
Once it is mentioned, it is another sad thing.
Besides, she was unconscious, or it was all his credit!
Just to beat the mandarin ducks!
Deliberately break her up with the big devil!
Yes, absolutely!
That's it, she doesn't want to be a witness.
Shen Shuqing fell into a long silence.
Result β
After thinking about how to dispel the little girl's thoughts, before the words could be spoken, Shen Shushu was seen walking towards the front room very quickly.
made Shen Shuqing a little unable to react.
He followed a few steps, then stopped, and asked in a loud voice, "Sister, where are you going?" β
The words fell, but when she saw that the little girl didn't look back, she answered:
"Go to sleep!"
Shen Shuqing: "......"
Dumbfounding.
At this time, don't you want to be a witness with the past?
And yetβ
Shen Shushu returned to the room, but regretted it again.
Although the stupid brother always refuses to let her follow the big devil, no matter what, he is also her blood-related brother.
Subconsciously, she "snapped" and opened the door again.
As soon as he raised his feet, he was caught off guard by two lines of sight.
Two expressionless disciples stood guard at the door:
"Miss Shen, without Senior Brother Shuqing's order, you are not allowed to go out at will."
Shen Shushu: "......"
οΌοΌοΌ
Was she grounded by her stupid brother???
The stupidest thing is that she actually threw herself into the net!
Headache.
.
As Shen Shuqing thought.
He had long known that the little girl would definitely want to come out, and before leaving, he had already instructed the disciples guarding the door not to let the little girl sneak out.
Stepping into the torture hall, several eyes looked towards Shen Shuqing.
Shen Shuqing calmly bowed to the elders present.
At the end, he looked at the Great Elder and said respectfully, "I don't know if Master has called his disciples here, but what is the matter?" β
"Qing'er."
The Great Elder called softly, and suddenly, he raised his eyes to look at the Fourth Elder, and said slowly: "According to what the Fourth Elder said, he has evidence in his hand that can prove that Qing'er deliberately murdered the Sixth Elder. β
"Please also ask the second elder to investigate, Shu Qing has definitely not done this matter, let alone not, he has such a mind."
Shen Shuqing lifted his robe and knelt on his knees.
His expression was indifferent, and there was not the slightest dodge in his eyes, let alone any sign of weakness.
Shen Shuqing started early, except for the Great Elder, the second elder who had the most contact with him.
Shen Shuqing's personality, even if he doesn't dare to say everything, he can know that he has an upright temperament, self-discipline, and never does anything that violates the right path.
"Ahem."
At this moment, the second elder also knew that he was impulsive.
When he saw the clerk before, he felt angry in addition to his heart, but more than that, he was disappointed.
I felt disappointed in Shen Shuqing.
But now, in front of the main lord, the second elder inexplicably made a mistake and blamed his thoughts.
He pondered for a moment and looked at the four elders who had provoked the incident in advance: "Fourth Elder, what do you think?" β
Hearing the wavering in his words, the Fourth Elder suddenly snorted coldly: "Second Elder, as the steward of the Torture Hall, you don't want to show favoritism. β
These words were unabashedly accusing the second elder of delusional favoritism.
"Fourth Elder, if you have something to say."
The Great Elder spoke.
"What else could there be to say! Great Elder, you don't want to protect him anymore! β
The four elders stood up suddenly, looked at Shen Shuqing's expression and sneered: "How, a little disciple, vainly trying to murder the six elders, do you admit this crime, or not!" β
"I don't recognize it."
Shen Shuqing suddenly stood up.
He defended himself vigorously: "Fourth Elder, that day, all the disciples in the sect were there, but I saw the disciples murdering the six elders with my own eyes? β
The Fourth Elder said coldly: "Even if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, it's a fact that you are mixed with the people of the Demon Sect!" β
"What the four elders said is biased, the disciple doesn't know when he mixed up with the demon sect, and he asked the four elders to make it clear."
Shen Shuqing did not show weakness at all.
Although he knew that what the four elders were referring to must be to stay in the Cen Old Courtyard when he was injured.
Seeing Shen Shuqing's vigorous rebuttal, the anger in the hearts of the four elders rose slowly, just one Shen Shuqing, how could he still not handle it?
"What? Don't recognize? β
Fourth Elder: "Even if you don't admit it, you should admit this evidence, right?" β
It's the same document again.
Shen Shuqing took it, lowered his head, flipped through a few pages casually, and closed it again.
"Four Elders, just based on these few pieces of paper, I want to convict the disciples at will, I'm afraid it will be unfair."
"Besides, the disciple doesn't know if there are people from the Demon Sect around the disciple, but there is one thing that the disciple and Shen Bei'an and his younger brother Shen Nanping under the Sixth Elder know about it."
Shen Shuqing directly pulled the two Shen Beian brothers into the water without any indifference.
Suddenly, Shen Bei'an was mentioned, and the eyes of the four elders were stunned for a moment, and then they quickly returned to normal: "What's the matter?" β
Shen Shuqing said bluntly: "On that day, there was a remnant of the second protector of the Demon Sect in Lingxian City, and the disciple and Shen Bei'an went to the brothers, but they were injured by the second protector of the Demon Sect, and fell into a coma, and when they woke up, they found themselves in another courtyard, and the old Cen mentioned in the document was the physician responsible for healing the disciple's injuries, and other than that, the rest of the disciples, the disciples did not know at all, if the elders did not believe it, although they asked Senior Brother Bei'an and Senior Brother Nanping to come and confirm. β
"Is that so?"
Before the fourth elder could speak, the second elder took the lead in asking.
"Exactly."
Shen Nanping's figure suddenly appeared at the door of the torture hall.
He stepped over the threshold and walked in.
"Elders are well."
After finishing speaking, Shen Nanping automatically and consciously stood by Shen Shuqing's side.
He looked at the Second Elder and nodded honestly: "Second Elder, what Senior Brother Shu Qing said is the truth. β
The second elder was speechless: "......"
He didn't say that what Shen Shuqing said was not the truth.
"Tell me everything you know."
"Yes."
Shen Nanping nodded, and suddenly, his gaze looked towards the four elders.
When he came, his brother told him that the four elders have always been scheming, and they regard the great elder as an opponent, if today, the four elders really get their wish, I am afraid that in the future, they will gain an inch.
Thinking of this, he kept in mind his brother's advice, this time, no matter what, he couldn't let Senior Brother Shu Qing suffer injustice!
Then, Shen Nanping told the affairs of several people in the Spirit Immortal City without the slightest concealment, and in and out of his words, he was completely ignorant of the identity of the people of the Demon Sect.
However, Shen Nanping was very witty and got rid of Shen Shushu.
She was not deliberately exposed.
Even if the four elders found out in advance, they wouldn't be able to help them.
"Second Elder, the disciple's words are finished, which is right and which is wrong, the disciple believes that the elders must have made up their minds in their hearts, isn't it, Fourth Elder?"
When the words fell, he saw Shen Nanping staring at the four elders meaningfully.
The Fourth Elder snorted coldly: "Shen Nanping, even if there are Eighth Elders here, I can't tolerate your quibbles!" β
Shen Nanping: "...... Hey? β
Shen Nanping suddenly remembered to see where his master was sitting.
If the fourth elder didn't say it, he really didn't think that his master was also here.
"Hehe, Master, long time no see."
The eight elders who were inexplicably mentioned: "......"
As soon as he saw Shen Nanping's expression, he knew that this stinky boy had already forgotten all about his master!
It's just that there is no master!
The boss of the eight chiefs looked away in a daze, not wanting to deal with this conscienceless disciple at all.
Shen Nanping understood what his master meant, and touched the back of his head with a wry expression.
"Master, the disciple assures that everything the disciple says is the truth! Even if the four elders don't believe it, you can't believe it. β
"Shen Nanping, what do you mean by this!?"
The four elders said angrily.
Shen Nanping's face was full of innocence, and he muttered to himself: "Is it wrong to tell the truth?" β
"You ββ!"
The four elders were so angry that they opened their mouths, and just wanted to speakβ
"That's enough."
The Great Elder couldn't see it, he believed that Qing'er would not join forces with the people of the Demon Sect to murder the Sixth Elder, "Fourth Elder, you have an opinion about me, you can speak up in front of me, but you shouldn't have wronged Qing'er." β
As he spoke, he looked at the elders again: "Since the four elders are bent on deciding, then ask the second elder to investigate the matter clearly before handling this matter." β
When he said this, he did not say a request, but an order.
The master of the door is in retreat, and the great elder has the position of temporary head of the door.
The second elder agreed: "Fourth Elder, this matter will come here first, or wait for me to send someone to find out the matter." β
But how willing the four elders were!
His cold eyes rolled, "Great Elder, even if you are the temporary sect master, there are regulations in the door, since Shen Shuqing is suspected of murdering the sixth elder, then according to the regulations, Shen Shuqing should be sent to the confinement room......"
"Newspaperβ"
Suddenly, the disciples who had hurriedly rushed in interrupted the words of the four elders.
"Presumptuous, do you still have a respected teacher-"
The four elders were about to get angry and shouted loudly, but when they saw that the disciple looked panicked, he suddenly knelt on the ground with a "bang", and he couldn't even speak:
"Return, go back to the elders, there is news from the sixth-story courtyard, saying, saying that it is ......"
"Say what?"
The elders couldn't help but get nervous.
The disciple choked up, and his forehead slammed heavily on the ground: "Yes, after the sixth elder drank the medicine, suddenly, he lost his breath......
"The entire six-story courtyard is panicking......
