Chapter 564: Own Judgment
Duan Mengrou made up her mind to let Ah Zuo take care of everything, and she would not embarrass them again after she calculated that Cheng Haofeng had someone to be angry with. She had already prepared that he would come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, and she only wanted to deal with him, but she ignored that he didn't have time to investigate anything in such a short period of time.
Cheng Haofeng dared to question, but he himself guessed a little bit of the situation based on a very few clues, and the Ghost King and Ling Ruofeng revealed a lot of information about Duan Mengrou, in fact, he couldn't prove that Zixiao Palace was related to the Silkworm Room bombing.
He can be said to have come to "deceive" them, and their eagerness to push people out to atone for their sins indirectly confirms everything he speculated. He still has a lot of things he doesn't know, so let them deal with Azo, and they can learn more about the truth behind the scenes through their words and deeds.
Duan Mengrou didn't expect him to push the disposal power back, what should she do? She looked down in thought, her eyes rolling, and finally gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
"Master Cheng's nephew treats people kindly, but we can't take advantage of our shortcomings. Miaoxu, Azo is from your door, you take her Neidan, and then drive her out of Zixiao Palace. After Duan Mengrou gave the order, Shui Miao's eyes pleaded with sorrow, and Duan Mengrou's eyes sternly refused.
Ah Zor's legs have been broken, his body has lost his poisonous teeth, and he still has some spiritual power to cultivate and become a disciple of Zixiao Palace to gain a foothold in the world, if he is taken out of Zixiao Palace again, he will definitely fall into a worse situation than death.
Looking at the master who was approaching him step by step, Ah Zor exclaimed miserably: "No...... No...... Master, you can't do that to your disciples! I hate Hu Xianxian, it's because of her that I broke my leg and lost my fangs...... What's wrong with me taking the opportunity to get revenge? How can you leave me alone with the consequences? If you hadn't made me ......."
"Bang Bang ......" two abrupt crisp sounds interrupted her words. Shui Miaoxu originally took pity on her apprentice, but when she heard that she was in a hurry to climb others, she was angry and slapped her twice.
Ah Zuo was beaten at a loss, and looked at Duan Mengrou begging with teary eyes. Duan Mengrou stared at her in disgust, and let the big man guarding the door come in and whip her.
She screamed in pain and shouted, "San Lang...... National Teacher, National Teacher, I didn't expect things to develop like this, I didn't want to kill Hu Xianxian...... Shizu ...... Ancestors...... You obviously said that you were going to deal with Hu Xianxian...... Otherwise, where else would I have the power to hurt her......"
She continued, just afraid that everything would leak out, Shui Miaoxu didn't hesitate anymore, and slapped her spiritual power in front of her.
"Wait." At the critical moment, Cheng Haofeng flew to block Shui Miaoxu, "Senior Sister Hu was lucky to save her life, so there is no need to let Ah Zuo fight with her life." The heterogeneous cultivation is all thanks to Neidan, and he also asked Uncle Duan to keep her Neidan. ”
He took the initiative to plead, and Duan Mengrou of course agreed. Cheng Haofeng turned around and glanced at Ah Zuo, saw that she was covered in whip marks, and sighed twice.
Seeing him looking at him, the tears that Ah Zor had been holding back suddenly surged out, and whimpered: "Are you still willing to intercede for me?" You're such a nice guy...... No, no, you're a scourge...... Whining...... After I became human, only men were deceived by me, and no man ever moved me...... I didn't expect that after seeing you, I would be so tempted, just a little bit of temptation will lead to such a miserable end...... Hehe, it's okay, Hu Xianxian is more affectionate than me, and he will definitely end up worse than me in the future......"
Shui Miaoxu looked at her like a crazy person, and her eyes were wet with tears, after all, when she was accepted as an apprentice, she hoped that she would be prosperous, not at the end of her rope.
Cheng Haofeng felt a little inexplicable, he wanted to listen to her defense about the bombing case and the iron talisman so that he could analyze the situation, but why did she always talk about him?
This somewhat out of control situation made Duan Mengrou secretly angry, she gave Shui Miaoxu a look, and asked her to end the matter quickly, otherwise she would not be able to hide what she wanted to hide after making so many preparations.
Shui Miaoxu wiped her tears with her hands and said: "You act on your own initiative, you want to take revenge for personal gain, but you are not cautious, and you left the iron talisman at the scene, what do you want me to say about you?" If you cause trouble for Zixiao Palace, you should be held responsible! We want to shelter you, but you want to implicate others, and your compassion is drained of you! You yourself say what you will do in the future, and what is the point of your life? ”
Of course, he would not punish himself severely, but in the face of Shui Miaoxu's problem, Ah Zuo could no longer say anything to defend himself. She looked around the room with a dull look in her eyes, and her heart was suddenly filled with despair, and she realized that even if she was not punished, she would never be able to live well.
"Am I so useless? I have also done a lot of things for Zixiao Palace, and I have no credit and hard work...... What am I going to do? I'm dying to thank the world, right? It's just that I have a request before I die......" Ah Zuo stared straight at Cheng Haofeng and said, "I want to die under his sword!" ”
Cheng Haofeng shook his head and smiled, he didn't understand why Ah Zuo pestered him? They just crossed paths over the snake puppet, and he just said a few provocative things to her in order to ask the truth.
She resents Hu Xianxian, but it was obviously him who cut off her legs, but she didn't hate him! Hu Xianxian almost died under her fangs, but she didn't resent her because of this, what reason did she have to resent Hu Xianxian? Could it be that she thought that without Hu Xianxian, he would have feelings for her? She may have had a crush on him, but not to the point of dying under his sword without regrets, right?
After Ah Zuo's request, everyone else waited to hear Cheng Haofeng's answer, and when they saw that he was just smiling meaningfully, they were all a little impatient. He noticed that their eyes were different, and secretly said that this Ah Zor was deliberately trying to win sympathy, and if he really wanted to kill her, she would be an infatuated woman who made mistakes for love, and he would become a narrow-minded selfish man.
Cheng Haofeng remembered the purpose of his coming to Zixiao Palace, but he didn't want to be confused by these entanglements, he smiled warmly: "Uncle Duan, I don't know why the people of Zixiao Palace have an intersection with Gonggong Li, and answer my questions first." As for Ah Zor, it will be locked up in the place where your Zixiao Palace punishes the disciples who make mistakes, and let her think about it behind closed doors. ”
They all looked at him in amazement, and he urged the two big men to take Azo away quickly. The two big men asked Duan Mengrou with their eyes, and she waved them to do what Cheng Haofeng said. She didn't want Ah Zor to stay here, and if she continued to talk about it, she would lose face in Zixiao Palace.
Of course, Cheng Haofeng didn't want Ah Zuo to stay here, it really interfered with him doing his business. confronted Duan Mengrou and others, he has always been a passive breaker, and no matter how wise and brave the game-breaker is, he will eventually let people lead the nose; Now that he has chosen this path, he can no longer worry about it, he has to set up a situation to deal with them in turn, and only by eliminating hidden dangers can he achieve his goal as soon as possible.
After dragging Ah Zuo away, Duan Mengrou asked the boys and girls who were standing to step back as well, leaving only her and Shui Miaoxu to talk to Cheng Haofeng in the hall. She motioned to Shui Miaoxu to tell the reason why Zixiao Palace was involved in Gonggong Li's affairs, and Cheng Haofeng listened carefully.
What they said was that Gonggong Li became the eunuch in charge of Ci'an Palace, so he sowed discord and alienated the Empress Dowager from Fa Luo. Fa Luo has always been resentful about this, and secretly investigated Gonggong Li.
When Gonggong Li held the Empress Dowager hostage, Fa Luo also wanted to help save him, but he had no chance. After the matter in Ci'an Palace subsided, Fa Luo learned that the remnants of Gonggong Li had not been cleaned up, and they were mixed in the * bureau in a vain attempt to regenerate the incident.
Fa Luo wanted to crack the case of the Gunpowder Bureau in one fell swoop, so as to invite credit from the Empress Dowager and the emperor, so that he could regain his favor. He knew that his ability was limited, so he came to ask Duan Mengrou for help.
The old friend came to ask for help, and Duan Mengrou couldn't refuse, but she didn't want to get involved in right and wrong again. When he was in a dilemma, Ah Zuo took the initiative to ask for help, and was willing to assist Fa Luo to exterminate the remnants of Gonggong Li. Duan Mengrou thought that Ah Zor's mana and resourcefulness were not high, that is, she did something to run errands and shout a few sentences, and she didn't think she could set off the storm before agreeing to help Fa Luo.
Who would have thought that Azo wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge on Hu Xianxian, and Fa Luo was also angry with Hu Xianxian because of his defeat in Yizhuang, so Azo came up with a plan of "killing two birds with one stone".
Cheng Haofeng frowned slightly when he heard this, and interjected and asked, "The person they were originally going to deal with was Gonggong Li, why did they cooperate with Gonggong Li and let him lure Senior Sister Hu into the formation?" ”
Duan Mengrou answered: "It's just that Master Hu's nephew has made too many enemies, and he has forced everyone who was originally an opponent to become a collaborator." In order to force the outrageous agent of the Gunpowder Bureau, Fa Luo promised to save Gonggong Li from prison, as long as he could lure Master Hu's nephew into the formation, he could find a way to provide conditions to send Gonggong Li to Dongying. Alas, Gonggong Li hated Master Hu's nephew for hurting him for holding the Empress Dowager hostage, so he agreed to cooperate with Fa Luo temporarily. ”
As the sun rises, the snow on the roofs melts, and the snow drips down the eaves. Cheng Haofeng didn't answer immediately, he looked at the crystal water dripping out of his mind, he was thinking about how Hu Xianxian could attract so many people to hate? Obviously, they repeatedly coerced and did evil, but it was as if Hu Xianxian deliberately bullied them. These people boast that they are smart and capable when they are strong, and blame others for being ruthless when they suffer losses, and only they are always right.
"Senior nephew Cheng, you act calmly and cautiously, but that Senior nephew Hu is too capable of causing trouble, you defend her in every possible way, can she understand your hard work?" Duan Mengrou said with a smile, Cheng Haofeng didn't seem to hear it, and didn't react.
Duan Mengrou sighed and said, "Alas, this incident was all an accident, and Fa Luo and Ah Zoben didn't want to put Master Hu's nephew to death. They wanted to trap her in the formation, suppress her cultivation with iron talismans, and make her bow her head and apologize. But who knew that Gonggong Li hated her so much that he didn't even care about his own life, and he would definitely want her to die? The explosion next to the silkworm room sounded, and Farliu and Azo were also panicked. ”
Cheng Haofeng didn't want to find out who was the mastermind in that incident, he only remembered a few points that didn't need to be faked: Fa Luo and Duan Mengrou's forces were involved in this matter; If the sheep demon is willing to save Gonggong Li, it must have something to do with them; They must also have a relationship with the king of Chengjun.
"It's come to this, there's no need to blame anyone. The culprit Li Gonggong has been blown to pieces, so let's not have any more disputes. After Cheng Haofeng finished speaking, he asked tentatively: "When I first arrived at Zixiao Palace, there were a few laymen who didn't have long eyes to make trouble, I don't know how Uncle Duan dealt with them?" ”
He didn't tell through the reason given by Duan Mengrou, he had another way to find out the truth, and gave her a step. As for mentioning those miscellaneous things, he wanted to find a reason to ask Duan Mengrou for some things.
