Chapter 113: Unjustly Murdered
Lord Fang sat under the plaque in the public hall, saw Xia Hao, and recognized him as the person who was the prime minister, and had a faint bad premonition in his heart.
He patted the shocked wood and said loudly: "Xia Hao, what are you complaining about?" β
Xia Hao replied loudly: "Lord Fang, I sued someone for kidnapping the murderer Lu Hao. β
Lord Fang looked sideways at Xia Hao and was stunned: "I have already posted a notice about this matter." I believe that there will be eyebrows soon. β
"Lord Fang, I have clues about this matter. I know that the person who robbed the prisoner was Chu Tiankuo, the prince of the fan. "Xia Hao cut the railway.
"Do you have proof?" Master Fang immediately asked.
He was shocked: How could it be related to Chu Tiankuo, the son of the fan? That's tricky.
Xia Hao said slowly: "That day, I was also at the execution ground, and I saw the man holding the Xuantie sword in his hand, splitting the prisoner cart and letting the prisoner go. Afterwards, her sister fainted on the street, and he sent his sister back to Bixiang Villa. I've seen it with my own eyes. I am the witness. β
Master Fang hurriedly asked, "Why did you only say this today?" β
This question stumped Xia Hao.
After pondering for a moment, Xia Hao said unhurriedly: "Lord Fang, before, I wasn't sure if he was the prince Chu Tiankuo with a fan. After all, he is a figure with a head and a face in Fengcheng, and he is still a chivalrous man. How would you do this kind of robbery of prisoners? I'm afraid of wronging good people. Later, I verified that it was indeed Chu Tiankuo who robbed the prisoner, yes. Chu Tiankuo has a close relationship with Lu Hao. Lu Hao is his sister's fiancΓ©. β
Xia Hao's words caused a commotion among the onlookers, and everyone looked at Xia Hao with surprise. In his words, although he pointed out the motive of Chu Tiankuo, the son of Huaifan, to rob the prisoner, everyone didn't believe it.
Especially Lord Fang, he frowned and looked at Xia Hao and said, "Do you know that false accusations are also guilty?" β
Xia Hao raised his head, his waist was straight, his face was full of firmness and fearlessness, and he said seriously: "Lord Fang, if what I said is not true, I am willing to bear all the consequences." β
Master Fang's face was grim, he looked at Xia Hao, and said loudly: "Don't worry, if Chu Tiankuo is guilty, I will deal with it according to law." If anyone makes false accusations, I will not spare them. After a pause, he looked at Dongfang Hong and ordered: "Dongfang Hunting, I order you to go and arrest Chu Tiankuo." β
"Yes. My lord. Dongfang Hong took the order.
Master Fang slapped the shocked wood and shouted, "Retreat!" β
Soon, Chu Tiankuo's crime of robbing prisoners to save the bandit leader spread throughout Fengcheng.
Lu Hao was originally the owner of Lujiazhai in Fengwei Mountain, and as the leader of the bandits, he did a lot of things that hurt heaven and reason. The people he has mutilated hated him to the core.
At this time, I heard that the young man of Huaifan openly saved the prisoners, and many people were dissatisfied with Chu Tiankuo for a while.
Although Lu Hao is dead, the people he has hurt refuse to give up.
In addition, people with ill intentions fanned the flames behind his back, deliberately slandering the fan boy. Rumors spread that the son of a fan sold his reputation and colluded with thieves, regardless of right and wrong.
Bixiang Villa and Ling Cui Ge are busy preparing for the wedding, and they are deaf to the rumors.
Dongfanghong was ordered to go to Bixiang Villa to arrest people, but he didn't see Chu Tiankuo, and it was Steward Hu who received him.
He looked at the lively and festive Bixiang Villa, and knew that this was Chu Tiankuo and Shui Mai were about to get married. For the sake of the happiness of the water vein, he did not say anything about Chu Tiankuo's violation of the law, but only said that he was happy.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the ship was late and encountered a head wind. After the rumors of Chu Tiankuo's robbery of prisoners spread, there were rumors of Chu Tiankuo's murder.
The three well-known leaders of the big factions on the rivers and lakes were killed one after another. They are Shangguan Lan, the head of the Songshan faction, Leng Xiaoshan, the head of the Snow Mountain faction, and Xue Qiutong, the head of the Changshan faction.
The three people who were killed have something in common, they are all Chu Tiankuo's confidantes and strong martial arts.
Most importantly, there were eyewitnesses at the scene of the killing. According to eyewitness accounts, the murderer was the son of a fan.
According to eyewitnesses, the person who saw the perpetrator with his own eyes was none other than Chu Tiankuo, holding a Xuantie sword and having good kung fu. Because the deceased was familiar with Chu Tiankuo, he was defenseless, and he was killed in a few moves. The murderer is not only powerful, but also has excellent internal strength and light skills.
In addition to eyewitnesses, some people also began to speculate that the murderer was Chu Tiankuo. Here's why:
Today's four masters of the rivers and lakes, Ji Zheng, the leader of the martial arts alliance, is dead. Dongfanghong is a person in the official government and will not kill people for no reason. The fortune teller is an old man. The most likely murderer is Chu Tiankuo.
However, what was Chu Tiankuo's motive for killing?
Soon, rumors spread on the rivers and lakes. The rumors became worse and worse, and Chu Tiankuo became hypocritical, lustful, hiding a knife in his smile, and being sanctimonious. His former tame and chivalrous tall image collapsed.
Something went wrong. Something went wrong.
On the fifth day of the fourth month, it was the day when Chu Tiankuo got married, and a large number of people suddenly gathered outside Bixiang Villa, surrounded by water in front of the gate of the villa. looked at Steward Hu's identity as a person, and quickly determined that he was not a guest who came to drink, but a person who came to make trouble.
Those people were clamoring to see Chu Tiankuo.
Steward Hu panicked and hurriedly closed the big iron gate of Bixiang Villa.
He searched all over the village, but he didn't see Chu Tiankuo's figure, he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and his steps were unsteady.
Yanxiang saw Steward Hu's panicked and panting face, and shouted to him: "Steward Hu, why is it so noisy outside?" What the hell is going on? β
"A bunch of people gathered outside, saying that the young owner had killed someone." Steward Hu was so anxious that he pointed to the direction of the gate and said.
Smoke Xiang asked briefly, "Who did you kill?" β
Steward Hu shuddered. In his mind, it flashed like a spark.
He took a deep breath and frowned, "I heard that more than one was killed. Killed the heads of the three great factions. β
Yan Xiang was taken aback and exclaimed, "How can it be a senior brother?" Where is the elder brother? β
The butler did not answer.
Smoke continued: "I'll take a look. β
She walked as she spoke.
The butler shouted behind him, "Smoke girl, don't go." Those people are very emotional, and you can't make sense with them. β
Before Yanxiang reached the door, Chu Tiankuo suddenly appeared behind her and stopped her.
"Smoke, come back."
Yanxiang turned around and saw Chu Tiankuo's handsome face, staring at her with affection. The smoke was in a trance for a while. Such a look made her heart surge.
She suddenly had a very familiar, very strong feeling. It was as if I had been looking forward to his eyes.
She couldn't say why she felt so strange.
She glanced back at Chu Tiankuo and wondered, "Senior brother, where have you been these days?" Did you really kill someone? β
Chu Tiankuo smiled slightly, noncommittal: "Let's go inside and talk about it." β
Yanxiang looked worried and asked, "Senior brother, what about those people outside?" β
Chu Tiankuo narrowed his eyes and said lightly, "It's okay." Let them make a fuss for a while. β
