Chapter 51: The Dust Settles
Wangwu Mountain.
Located in Yuzhou, this small altitude, but beautiful mountain range welcomed its first guests early in the morning.
There were not many of them, about seven or eight, more men than women, and they all looked very young. The first person is about twenty years old, wearing a silver dragon embroidered white robe, carrying a dark red sword, eyes like stars, face like warm jade, indescribably handsome, but there is a trace of sorrow hidden between the eyebrows, obviously there is something troublesome. The man next to him was a little older, thin and ordinary-looking, but his eyes were firm and powerful, and he looked trustworthy.
The two walked at the front of the whole team, talking from time to time, although the man in white was trying his best to introduce the surrounding situation, but he seemed a little absent-minded, but the older man was not angry, but admired the surrounding scenery.
"Brother Lu, this is the road of Wangwu Mountain, which was specially built by the imperial court for the convenience of the residents on both sides of the mountain, and if you go down this road, you will reach Tianheyuan, where our famous Sword Villa is."
The man in white who spoke was Lei Shaoqing, and the older man beside him was Lu Ming, Gao Yu, Meng Da and others followed closely behind them.
It's been six days since that bloody night. The death of the old man Huang of the Wuliang Pavilion and the master of the Wuliang Pavilion Huang Hao became the biggest news in Bianzhou City the next day, and countless people rushed to the door of the Wuliang Pavilion early in the morning to inquire about the authenticity of the news, after all, the Wuliang Pavilion has done a lot of good things in Bianzhou City over the years, and people still hope that this behemoth will operate normally as usual.
The people of the Boundless Pavilion didn't wait, but a few sudden messages blew up in the crowd. "Old Man Huang is the mastermind behind the disappearance of women, and the Infinite Pavilion and the Heaven Covering Sect colluded to kill the people of Bianzhou", "Huang Hao, the master of the Infinite Pavilion, attempted to assassinate Lord Zhang, the state capital, and was killed on the spot by the master of the Angry Flame Valley", "Old Man Huang was eliminated by the masters of the three gates last night, and the Infinite Pavilion was destroyed!" ”
One after another, the people of Bianzhou City were confused, and everyone couldn't tell which one was true and which one was false, the only thing that could be confirmed was that something happened to Wuliang Pavilion, and it was a big deal.
Sure enough, two days later, notices signed by the city councillors were posted everywhere in Bianzhou City, and the above made the final conclusion on the matter of the Boundless Pavilion.
"Here's how, Huang Tianjun, the former head of the Wuliang Pavilion, colluded with the evil gangsters of the Heaven Covering Sect to kidnap a total of 61 women in Bianzhou City, the evidence is conclusive, and he should be punished according to the law. In view of the fact that the culprit died three days ago, it is no longer pursued, and his body is displayed to the public for three days to show the anger of the people!
Huang Hao, the master of the Wuliang Pavilion, intended to assassinate the imperial court officials, and according to the law, he should be exiled to the army, but since the culprit had died three days ago, he was not pursued and his family was allowed to bury him.
According to another investigation, the crimes committed by Huang Tianjun and Huang Hao were all personal acts, and the rest of the disciples of the Wuliang Pavilion did not participate in them, so they were exempted from the punishment of the Wuliang Pavilion, but they were responsible for the compensation of the families of all the missing women, and they were not allowed to participate in the competition for the qualifications of the three courses for life. Hereby informed! ”
The official explanation did not quell the chatter of the people of Bianzhou, but instead caused even greater riots. This riot is mainly manifested in three aspects, one is that for some people, Huang Tianjun and Wuliangge have always been their faith and spiritual pillars, but such an idol-like existence has suddenly become a heinous big devil, which makes it difficult for them to accept it for a while. The so-called love and hatred, these people spontaneously organized to go to the door of the Boundless Pavilion to smash it, trying to burn the Boundless Pavilion, but were finally stopped by the government. Then they ran to the city tower and threw stones at Huang Tianjun's corpse hanging on the city tower to vent the hatred in their hearts.
Second, the families of the victims of the missing women also spontaneously organized themselves and went to the Wuliang Pavilion to collect debts, and the government did not stop these people in the slightest, after all, it was clear from the notice that the money would be paid out of the Wuliang Pavilion. After losing two of her closest relatives one after another, poor Huang Xin'er fell into an economic crisis, and finally had to sell the property under Wuliang Pavilion and only left an old mansion.
The last point is the discussion of the punishment among the people. Everyone thinks that Huang Tianjun and Huang Hao are both guilty, and the Boundless Pavilion is naturally inseparable, and how could the disciples of the Boundless Pavilion know nothing, it must be that Master Zhang received the benefits of the Boundless Pavilion to make such a judgment. As a result, the excited people once again besieged the city lord's mansion in Bianzhou City, demanding to eradicate the tumor of the Infinite Pavilion and eliminate the minions of the Heaven Covering Sect. In the end, there was really no way, Zhang Fang had to invite Lei Shaoqing, and Lei Shaoqing once again made a promise to the people as the above three gates, and the Wuliang Pavilion had nothing to do with the Heaven Covering Sect, so he persuaded everyone to retreat. But the name of Wuliang Pavilion is completely stinky, and in the eyes of the people of Bianzhou City, these three words are not even as good as shit.
"Hey!"
As several people walked, Lei Shaoqing suddenly sighed, although he completed his mission this time, solved the case of the disappearance of women, and also saw through the conspiracy of the Heaven Covering Sect, but the final result was not what he wanted. Huang Hao's death and Huang Xin'er's grief-stricken eyes always haunted his heart, and the escape of the Mo Envoy and the sudden appearance of the Valley of Fury made him feel even better, and he had already sighed several times along the way.
"Brother Lei, why sigh, you see that the scenery here is really good, but don't miss it. People should learn to adjust themselves when they are in a bad mood, and enjoying the scenery is a good choice. ”
"You see I'm in a bad mood?"
"Hehe, Brother Lei just wrote the word depression on his face, how could I not know. Or is it for the sake of Bianzhou City? ”
"Hmm!" Lei Shaoqing nodded and said, "Although I caught the murderer and he was duly punished, I don't know why I couldn't be happy. And this time the people of Bianzhou City gave me a terrible feeling, before coming to Bianzhou City, I did some investigations, Wuliangge's reputation in Bianzhou City is still quite good, Huang Tianjun is also a highly respected and loved person. But as soon as this incident happened, the attitude of these people changed so quickly, beating, smashing, robbing, burning and even whipping corpses seemed to be unable to vent the resentment in their hearts, but most of them had nothing to do with this matter, if it was just out of a sense of justice, there was no need to do it at all, this time it really made me feel scared for a while. ”
Lei Shaoqing finally said what he had been holding in his heart for so many days, it turned out that he was not only depressed because of the final result, but also chilled because of the performance of the people.
Hearing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but smile slightly: "Brother Lei, would you like to hear my opinion?" ”
