Chapter 234: The Cause of the Fire
"Ahem...... Good...... Good means!"
Bai Xiaosheng spitted blood from his mouth while struggling to stand up, trying hard to keep himself calm and calm, but the embarrassed robe and the gray face.
But he couldn't calm down, and even his mountain and river fan became damaged at this time.
"This ...... Is this immortal cultivation?"
He opened his mouth to ask like this, because he had guessed before, Shen Ming was not surprised by this question, he smiled noncommittally, and said softly.
"Can you talk about it now?"
Hearing this, even Bai Xiaosheng himself almost didn't come up in one breath, and said in his heart If you hadn't made such a big move, would I have called so many people out to besiege you?
Now he asks me if I can talk about it, is there any reason for this?
Bai Xiaosheng smiled bitterly and replied, "Let's be straight, what does the Dao Chief want to know?"
Shen Ming said, "In the twenty-sixth year of Longxing, the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, what happened to the fire in Jingshi Yuhua Lane?"
Bai Xiaosheng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he looked at Shen Ming deeply, and there was a lot of doubt in his eyes, until he saw Shen Ming frowning slightly, and then he spoke.
"Is the Dao Chang really surnamed Shen, not Wu?"
Shen Ming didn't understand the meaning of Bai Xiaosheng's words, and replied a little impatiently.
"What do you mean?"
Hearing Shen Ming's answer, the doubts in Bai Xiaosheng's eyes became even thicker, and his eyes couldn't help but start flickering when he looked at Shen Ming.
Shen Ming sneered, reached out with his left hand, and casually grabbed a great grandmaster from the ground, and the power in his palm was working, and the Tianyin Soul Searching Hand had already been used.
"Ahh
With a miserable scream, the man's body suddenly tensed and stiffened, and after a while, Shen Ming opened his eyes again, he casually threw the great master who had already died on the ground, and then looked at Bai Xiaosheng, and said very calmly.
"Liu Pingxi, forty-three years old, a native of the capital, was a beggar when he was young, and later Meng Zhou Zheng took a fancy to him and joined his ......"
Shen Ming quickly made the identity of this great grandmaster clear, Bai Xiaosheng looked at all this in shock, and his eyes were even more surprised, he was in charge of these people, and he naturally knew the origin of these people's identities very clearly.
At this time, listening to Shen Ming's word for word, how could he not be surprised.
"Honestly explain what happened back then, don't let me do it myself!"
While Shen Ming said this, he waved his hand to dim Yun Fubei, who was looking at him in horror, and then looked at Bai Xiaosheng again, and said very calmly.
"Say it!"
Hearing Shen Ming say this, Bai Xiaosheng's face couldn't help but become even more ugly, he looked at Yun Fubei and the corpse on the ground that was searched by Shen Ming, knowing that he was afraid that he could only tell the truth about this matter.
Bai Xiaosheng took a deep breath and asked again.
"Is the Daoist really surnamed Shen?"
Shen Ming frowned, then nodded.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Bai Xiaosheng breathed a sigh of relief and opened his mouth to tell what happened back then.
Twenty-six years of Longxing.
At that time, the first emperor was old, the court was chaotic, and the princes seized the heirs, among which the three forces were the most favored, namely the crown prince Zhou Ce, the third prince Zhou Quan, and the eighth prince Zhou Zhi.
And today's Son of Heaven Zhou Zheng was just a marginal figure at that time, and everyone didn't take him seriously, his biological mother was born as a palace girl, and he had no civil and military support, how could such a person be put in the eyes of the people in the court.
"It's just those fools, who have eyes but no beads, how do you know Your Majesty's ability, but it's also thanks to the fact that everyone didn't put Your Majesty in their eyes back then, otherwise how could Your Majesty be able to eradicate the opponent so easily!"
What the world doesn't know is that Zhou Zheng has been precocious since he was a child, and even changed his identity to make a big name in the rivers and lakes, and has already cultivated a group of his own henchmen.
And the fire in Yuhua Lane was caused during the assassination of the prince's wings.
"That person's surname is Wu, he is the household servant of the imperial court, involved in a case of corruption of the prince's disaster relief silver, His Majesty ordered me to go and kill that person that night, and by the way, the evidence of the prince's greed for ink and disaster relief silver was retrieved, I thought it was an easy thing, but who knew that there was a master close to the great master to serve as a guard. ”
Later, Bai Xiaosheng and others spent a lot of effort to kill the master, and then caught the official surnamed Zhou, and threatened his wife and children to make him hand over the evidence.
"That old man is also loyal, he would rather die in front of his wife and children one by one than hand over the evidence, and later he even pretended to agree, and while I couldn't wait for it, he set fire to the study!"
"And that night, it happened to be a strong wind, and the fire took advantage of the wind, and the fire spread to the entire Yuhua Lane in a blink of an eye!"
Speaking of this, Bai Xiaosheng couldn't help but glance at Shen Ming, and then emphasized.
"I can swear we didn't set that fire!"
Bai Xiaosheng saw that Shen Ming didn't speak, and tentatively opened his mouth to confirm.
"Since the Taoist chief said that he was not surnamed Wu, and now he is asking about the fire back then, it must be the family of the Taoist who suffered from the fire that year, right?"
Bai Xiaosheng saw that Shen Ming's face was even more gloomy, and he knew in his heart that he might have guessed correctly, so he continued to speak.
"If that's the case, then the Taoist chief is looking for me and waiting, but he is looking for the wrong person, even if he really wants to find someone to take revenge, he should go to the descendant surnamed Zhou!"
Ah Duoer stayed in Zhengjiazhai for a long time, and during this period, she also heard Zheng Bufan mention the incident back then, so she naturally knew the reason why Shen Ming asked about it.
When she heard Bai Xiaosheng say this at this time, she was very angry in her heart, and couldn't help but say sarcastically.
"Then according to you, does my master still want to thank you!?"
Bai Xiaosheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then smiled bitterly and waved his hand, and continued to speak: "Although we are not the ones who set the fire, we are also slightly implicated, and it is ...... that the Taoist chief can not blame us for the events of the year."
However, before he could finish speaking, he saw Shen Ming slowly raise his head, look at him calmly, and say something lightly.
"Who were involved in this back then?"
Bai Xiaosheng's face couldn't help but change, as if he saw a madman, he cast his stunned eyes on Shen Ming, and he said in a somewhat dry voice.
"Dao...... What does the Taoist want to do?"
Shen Ming said calmly: "There is a wrong, there is a debtor, and it is time to repay the debt of the year." ”
Bai Xiaosheng defended loudly: "I have already said that the fire was not set by us, if the Taoist chief does not believe it, you can call Yun Fubei up and ask again, and you will know the truth of the matter back then." ”
Regarding Bai Xiaosheng's words, Shen Ming shook his head, smiled sarcastically, and spoke.
"Is there a difference?"
