Chapter 759: Unpredictable
"Yulou Gongzi, do you mean that there is a thief hidden in the Three Holy Mountains? is it this person who assassinated Miss Xiao?" Zheng Qin frowned slightly and asked, "You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." ”
"That's right!" a Three Sacred Mountain elder nodded in agreement, "The Three Holy Mountains are full of masters, and there are thousands of disciples in the sect, who doesn't know my young lady? If someone really took the unconscious young lady from his boudoir to Sect Master Lu's room that night, he would definitely be noticed, how could he be so unheard of?"
Yulou nodded and said, "What this elder said is good, if the person who took Miss Xiao from the boudoir is an outsider, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of others." But what if this person is a person from the Three Sacred Mountain Sect, and this person also has a lot of relationship with Miss Xiao, how should this matter be counted?"
Xiao Hongfei had already heard many clues from Yulou's words, he waved his hand to interrupt the elders who wanted to argue again, stared at Yulou with his eyes like a torch, and asked in a deep voice, "Go on!"
"That night, before Miss Xiao returned to her boudoir, she did meet someone. Yulou said frankly, "And this person, Miss Xiao herself, should have some impression, right?"
As soon as Yulou said this, the eyes of everyone in the hall invariably turned to Xiao Liuyi, but seeing Xiao Liuyi's eyebrows frowning, she seemed to be thinking about something repeatedly, but she was still silent for a long time. Looking at Yuan Tao sitting on the side, her hands curled up in her sleeves were already clenched into fists at this moment, and the heart of her fist had already been soaked with sweat, and she stared at Xiao Liuyi nervously, as if she was afraid that she would recall something.
"Miss Xiao, what do you recall?" Lu Yifan asked in a condensed voice.
Under the repeated questioning of Lu Yifan, Zheng Qin and others, Xiao Liuyi looked at Xiao Hongfei hesitantly, she did remember that she had seen Yuan Tao that night, and also informed Xiao Hongfei of this matter, at this moment the father and daughter were both embarrassed, especially Xiao Hongfei's face was even more cloudy, he didn't even dare to face Xiao Liuyi's gloomy gaze.
"No......" Xiao Liuyi finally spoke after hesitating, but when she opened her mouth, she did not mean Yuan Tao, but denied it completely.
As soon as Xiao Liuyi spoke, Lu Yifan's eyes darkened suddenly, but Yulou had already expected Xiao Liuyi to say this, so he smiled unhurriedly and said, "It doesn't matter if Miss Xiao doesn't remember, because more than one person had seen the drunk Miss Xiao walking with another person that night, and the direction they went was the courtyard where Sect Master Lu lived. ”
Yulou spoke confidently, his expression was indifferent, and he also cast his disdainful gaze directly at Yuan Tao, who was full of nervousness, between talking and laughing. There was a dead silence in the Three Temples, and the guests who had already done good things at this moment couldn't help but ask, "The prince of the Jade Mansion said that more than one person saw the scene of that night, why don't you call them out and confront them face to face?" ”
Yulou smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Xiao Hongfei, who was full of embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Sect Master Xiao, I can say this person's name out loud in front of you, and I can also find out a few witnesses I saw with my own eyes that night. As long as Sect Master Xiao agrees, the truth will be revealed to the world, and Miss Xiao and Liu Sandao will be innocent. ”
"What do you mean by that?" asked one guest, "even if someone saw Miss Xiao walking with an acquaintance that night, that doesn't prove that person is the thief who killed Miss Xiao?"
"Just seeing them walking together certainly can't be judged. Yulou looked at Xiao Liuyi, whose face was red and white, with a smile on his face, and said faintly, "It just so happens that I still haven't said one thing yet, if I say this, I think you will be able to understand why Miss Xiao and Liu Sandao were in Sect Master Lu's room that night, and why that person can be so sure, before he saw it with his own eyes, he dared to release the news that Miss Xiao was bullied by Sect Master Lu the next morning." ”
Yulou's words made Xiao Liuyi sit still, and Xiao Hongfei, who had already faintly expected something, subconsciously turned his sad and angry eyes to Bi Qing and Yuan Tao.
"Sect Leader Xiao!" Yu Lou took another step forward and arched his hand, "The so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, and some words are better than being said behind closed doors, lest people with ulterior motives will take advantage of this matter to spread false rumors and slander the reputation of Sect Leader Xiao and the Three Holy Mountains." I wonder what you think?"
Xiao Hongfei clenched his fists, tried to calm his turbulent heart, gritted his teeth and said: "Everyone, please go outside for a while, Xiao will give you an explanation after finding out everything." ”
Hearing Xiao Hongfei's words, many good guests couldn't help but show a touch of disappointment on their faces, but due to Xiao Hongfei's misfortune at home and the status of the Three Holy Mountains, they had to walk out of the Three Holy Temples one after another, and after the guests went out, the elders and disciples of the Three Holy Mountains also retreated.
After a while, only Xiao Hongfei, Bi Qing, Yuan Tao, Xiao Liuyi, as well as Lu Yifan, Liu Sandao, Yulou, Zheng Xiaowu, Zheng Qin, and Mu Dan were left in the Three Temples.
As the door of the Three Holy Temples slammed shut, Xiao Hongfei finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and asked word by word: "Young Master Yulou, now that there are no outsiders in the hall, you can say anything directly." ”
At the banquet that night, the three sect masters Yuan Tao took out the Taoxi wine that had been treasured for many years to celebrate Miss Xiao. Yulou stopped going around in circles and went straight to the point, "That bowl of Taoxi wine was poured into two bowls, one of which was drunk by Miss Xiao, and the other bowl was drunk by Sect Master Lu, but in fact it was not. In fact, the other bowl had already been pretended to be drunk by me at the banquet, and the person who drank the other bowl was Liu Sandao. ”
"Click......"
Xiao Hongfei clenched his bones and said in a deep voice: "Then what?"
"Can Miss Xiao be like Liu Sandao, and feel hot and unbearably hot not long after drinking that bowl of Taoxi wine?" Yulou didn't answer Xiao Hongfei's words, but asked Xiao Liuyi to herself, "I think Miss Xiao won't be unconscious when she feels hot, right?" Finally, she stayed up until the end of the banquet, and Miss Xiao, who was so hot and dizzy, wanted to go back to her room to rest directly, but she ran into a person halfway, and this person was the person I just said who sent Miss Xiao into Sect Master Lu's room. As for this person......"
"Unbearably hot?" Xiao Hongfei's eyes were red, and he said word by word, "What does this mean?"
"Sect Master Xiao is well-informed, how much can you drink alcohol to make your body hot and unbearable?" Yu Lou asked rhetorically, "No matter how strong the wine is, it is impossible for it to have such power, and what can make people hot and dry can only be a kind of medicine, a medicine that is specially used for men and women." ”
"Hehuansan!" Xiao Hongfei said these three words almost shouted, "You mean that Liu Yi and Liu Sandao drank the Taoxi wine that was served by Hehuansan." ”
"Exactly. Yulou nodded and said, "If you are really unconscious, how can you do things like men and women?" But if you take Hehuan and disperse, then the meeting between men and women is tantamount to **, what will happen later, I don't think I need to continue." ”
"Nonsense!" Yuan Tao finally couldn't bear the huge pressure in his heart, suddenly slapped the case, pointed angrily at the jade building, and shouted, "You don't want to spray people with blood, that pot of Taoxi wine is the dowry left to me by my father, I am reluctant to open the wine seal for so many years, you don't want to wronged me......"
"What are you anxious about?" Xiao Hongfei turned his head suddenly, and Yuan Tao took a step back in fright, and fell into the chair, "The prince of Yulou didn't say that the person who went down to Hehuan was you just now, but you were already in a hurry to stand up and defend yourself, what are you doing?"
"Great Sect Master, Great Sect Master Ming Jian...... Yuan Tao roared like a pig, "Just now, Qi Yulou was obviously alluding to me harming Liu Yi, I am her aunt, how could I harm her when I watched her grow up?"
Yulou turned a deaf ear to Yuan Tao's urgent rebuttal, and rushed to speak: "It is precisely because someone saw Sect Master Lu drink another bowl of Taoxi wine, and later heard the snoring of a man coming from Sect Master Lu's room, so it is concluded that the person in the room is Sect Master Lu. And she sent Miss Xiao, who was also controlled by Hehuan San's medicine, into the room, even if she didn't have to see it with her own eyes, she could predict what would happen later. This was also the reason why the news of the Landing Sect Master's insult to Miss Xiao would circulate up and down the Sansheng Mountain early the next morning. In this way, all the previous doubts will be solved, and I will ask Sect Master Xiao to learn clearly!"
"Qi Yulou, he wronged me......" Yuan Tao shouted like crazy, "Qi Yulou, he and Lu Yifan, Liu Sandao, they joined forces to make up a story and wronged me...... The great sect master don't believe his words......" Yuan Tao saw that Xiao Hongfei was unmoved, so he turned his eyes on Xiao Liuyi for help, and pleaded urgently, "Liu Yi, I have always treated you as a daughter, Liu Yi, you must believe your aunt, how can your aunt harm you? No, it won't...... No......"
"Yuan Tao!" Xiao Hongfei turned his head sharply and glared at Yuan Tao, who was snorting and tearing, and asked coldly, "Let me ask you, have you ever seen Liu Yi that night?"
"I didn't ...... There is no ......" Yuan Tao shook his head again and again, "There is absolutely no ......"
"Great Sect Master, the eldest sister has been with me all the time that night, and I can testify for him!" Bi Qing saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly got up to relieve Yuan Tao.
"He lied!" Zheng Xiaowu snorted coldly, "I ...... that day"
"Fifth Master!" Before Zheng Xiaowu finished speaking, Yulou suddenly stopped and said, "I know you can't be angry, but everything must be believing, don't talk nonsense if you don't see it with your own eyes." Saying that, Yulou shook his head at Zheng Xiaowu as if he was nothing.
"What were you that day?" Mu Dan seemed to notice something, and hurriedly asked, "Fifth Master Zheng, you finish speaking!"
"I ...... that day I also heard rumors that Sect Master Lu had insulted Miss Xiao, but I believed the words of the Jade Mansion Prince, so I dared to conclude that he was lying. "Zheng Xiaowu is not a jade building, so he is naturally not so seamless when he lies, and his speech has become a little slurred.
"Actually, Zheng Wuye dares to be so sure because I have seen this with my own eyes. Seeing that Mu Dan wanted to continue to ask Zheng Xiaowu, Yulou hurriedly raised his voice and said loudly, "That night, I arranged Brother Liu to wait in Sect Master Lu's room, and then I wanted to leave, but not far from the courtyard gate, I heard footsteps behind me, so I hurriedly hid in the dark to observe, but found that the third sect master Yuan Tao was walking into the courtyard of the Lu sect master with the drunk Xiao girl, and then the second sect master Bi Qing also entered, and after a while, the second sect master Bi Qing and the third sect master Yuan Tao walked out of the courtyard together, as for Miss Xiao is ...... It's not ...... out together."
"Did you see it with your own eyes?" Xiao Hongfei's face changed, and he asked angrily, "Since you saw it with your own eyes, why didn't you come forward to stop it?"
"In the next book, I am a scholar, and I have no power to restrain the chicken, if I come forward rashly, I am only afraid that my life will be guaranteed, so I ...... I ......" Yulou pretended to look guilty and embarrassed, but it made people can't bear to reprimand too much.
"And what about after they leave?" Xiao Hongfei asked, "Why don't you go in and stop them after they leave? Even if you can't stop them, why don't you find someone to stop them?"
Hearing Xiao Hongfei's questioning, Yulou was like being drunk, and his knees bent and he knelt on the ground with a "poof", looking dazed and at a loss for what to do.
"Great Sect Master, you see he has nothing to say, he is clearly lying, I have been with my eldest sister that night, and we have never seen Liu Yi......"
"Smack!"
Without waiting for Bi Qing to finish his words with excitement on his face, Xiao Hongfei slapped Bi Qing with a loud backhand, and in an instant, five scarlet finger prints appeared on Bi Qing's cheeks, and under the hot and sharp pain, blood also seeped out along the sweat pores.
"Brute!" Xiao Hongfei scolded, foaming at the mouth, "Liu Yi has already told me about this, she clearly remembers that she saw Yuan Tao that night, you still want to quibble?"
"I've seen it...... I've seen ......" Yuan Tao muttered to herself with a hesitant expression, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly defended, "I remembered, I did see Liu Yi that night, but I saw her because I was worried that she drank too much, I left after I saw her, and I definitely didn't take her to Lu Yifan's room......"
"Then there are four Night Patrol disciples of the Three Holy Mountains who have personally seen you appear outside the Lu Sect Master's courtyard with the drunken Xiao Girl, how do you explain it?" Yu Lou snorted angrily and asked quickly, without waiting for Yuan Tao, whose eyes were uncertain, to explain, Yu Lou suddenly stood up and said to Xiao Hongfei, whose face was flushed: "I'm going to call those four Night Patrol disciples over to confront them, as long as they open their mouths, Sect Master Xiao will naturally know who is lying!" After saying that, Yulou wanted to turn around and walk towards the palace gate, but before he could take two steps, Yuan Tao was in a hurry, and suddenly shouted, "I remembered, I remembered, I saw that Liu Yi drank too much that night, so I deliberately took her around, the purpose was to help her sober up...... We did run into a few night patrol disciples on the way, but I was busy taking care of Liu Yi, so I didn't explain too much to them, and they were afraid that there was a misunderstanding...... Yes, yes, yes, it must have been a misunderstanding......"
"Have you finally admitted it?" As soon as Yuan Tao's words came out, Yulou, who had an anxious face, suddenly stopped and turned around, his face dissipated, replaced by a faint look of disdain.
"You...... What does this mean?" Yuan Tao's mind was in a mess at the moment, so he thought of something and asked something.
"Actually, no night patrol disciples have seen you and Miss Xiao at all, I made up all this to deceive you, the purpose is to force you to admit it. Yulou sneered, "Actually, I was the only one who saw it that night, but I was afraid that Sect Master Xiao would think that I was deliberately biased in favor of Liu Sandao, so I made it up that someone else saw you and Miss Xiao walking together." Now if you don't make a confession, it will save me a lot of effort!"
"Qi Yulou, ...... you" Yuan Tao's eyes widened, and in an instant, he only felt a rush of fire, and almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
"That's enough!" Xiao Hongfei suddenly shouted angrily to quell the farce, and the Three Temples suddenly quieted down, Xiao Hongfei glared at Bi Qingyuantao with bloody eyes, and said faintly, "I regard you as flesh and blood, but I never expected that you were planning and calculating me again and again, even if you forced my wife to death at the beginning, you will even harm my daughter today." Even today, there are still lies and nonsense, when will you be able to tell me the truth?"
"Great Sect Master, all this is Qi Yulou's speculation, this person is cunning and treacherous......"
"No need to say it again!" Xiao Hongfei was disheartened, waved his hand at Bi Qing and Yuan Tao, and said coldly, "True or false, I will first put you in a dungeon for reflection, and when you are willing to tell me the truth, I will listen to your explanation!"
"Great Sect Master ......"
Without waiting for Bi Qing and Yuan Tao to explain, Xiao Hongfei waved his hand suddenly, and in an instant, a vast soul power approached Bi Qing and Yuan Tao, who were caught off guard, and the two of them had not had time to mobilize their soul power to resist, Xiao Hongfei had already appeared between the two of them like lightning, and then stomped on the bluestone ground on the high platform under his feet and suddenly opened a secret door, and then Xiao Hongfei's arms shook, and then the wailing Bi Qing and Yuan Tao were knocked into the darkness under the secret door, and the screams of the two had not yet dissipated, Xiao Hongfei was already turning in the palm of his hand, and the secret door "snorted." The bluestone floor instantly returned to its original state.
"Sect Master Xiao is wise. Yulou's face was overjoyed, and he praised it.
"Just because I'm putting them in a dungeon doesn't mean I believe what you just said. Xiao Hongfei said indifferently, "Everything just now is just your words, although it sounds reasonable, it is still full of loopholes." The most important of these is why you refuse to save my daughter from suffering, and instead watch the big mistake come to pass!"
"This ......," Yulou hesitated again when he heard this.
"What? Don't you have anything to say?" Xiao Hongfei sneered, "The young man of the Yulou is so clever that there are rare times when he is speechless. ”
"It's not that I'm speechless, but there are some things I don't know how to say...... more and more difficult it becomes, and finally he simply turned his heart sideways, looking like a righteous Ling Ran, and said, "Forget it, just think I'm greedy for life and afraid of death, and Xiao Jiao is mainly to blame me!"
"Oh?" Xiao Hongfei suddenly became curious when he heard this, and asked, "There seems to be another hidden meaning in your words, what else are you hiding?"
"Please atone for your sins, I really can't say ......"
"What should I say to you?" Xiao Hongfei's eyes were cold, and his momentum was compelling.
Seeing this, Lu Yifan couldn't help frowning, and asked Yulou softly: "Yulou, do you really have any ulterior reasons? I don't believe that you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and you are a hard-hearted person. If there is anything else hidden, you might as well tell Sect Leader Xiao here. ”
"Do you really want to say?" Yulou said and looked at Liu Sandao with an embarrassed face, Liu Sandao blinked in confusion, and didn't realize what this matter had to do with him?
"Say!" The more Yulou was secretive, the more curious Xiao Hongfei became.
Yulou turned his heart sideways, closed his eyes and said quickly: "I said, I said, in fact, I don't stop it because Miss Xiao and Brother Liu have already fallen in love with each other and have feelings for each other, and I am just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, pretending to know nothing about this matter to help them, and wish them to become a fairy couple as soon as possible......."
"What?" As soon as Yulou said this, almost everyone present exclaimed in surprise except for Xiao Liuyi, who was silent.
"Daughter, this ...... Is this true?" Xiao Hongfei turned his head to look at Xiao Liuyi, who was frowning and contemplative, with shocked eyes, "You really ...... with Liu Sandao"
"There's nothing!" Liu Sandao didn't want Xiao Liuyi to be embarrassed, so he strode forward directly, and said loudly, "Miss Xiao and I have always been innocent, Yulou is just talking nonsense, Xiao Hongfei, your whole person has always estimated face, don't blame Miss Xiao for this kind of out of nothing, Liu Sandao is responsible for the big thing." ”
Xiao Hongfei glared at Liu Sandao angrily and annoyedly, and shouted: "I don't care if this matter is true or not, my daughter was insulted by you before she was out of line, and if you don't come out of this evil breath, I will be sorry for the ancestors of my Xiao family! Liu Sandao, I don't care if I am happy or dispersed, whether I am in love or not, if you do something wrong, you will do it, and you don't have to deny it, you are here today to kill yourself, I will count you as a man who dares to act!"
"Death is death, where did you come from so much!" Liu Sandao snorted coldly, then turned around and looked at Lu Yifan with an excited look in his eyes, smiled at him slightly, and then suddenly pulled out the moon cutting knife and put it on his neck, and said to Lu Yifan, "Yifan, Liu Sandao did something wrong without any interest, it is not a pity to die! You don't have to be sad, I will still be a brother with you in the next life!"
After saying that, Liu Sandao flipped his wrist and wanted to make a knife fast, but at the last moment, Xiao Liuyi, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"
"Liu Yi, ...... are you" Xiao Hongfei turned his head to look at Xiao Liuyi with a suspicious expression. saw that Xiao Liuyi slowly stood up and walked in front of Xiao Hongfei, and then took a deep look at Liu Sandao, who was frowning, in front of everyone, and then gently stroked his lower abdomen with his delicate right hand, and slowly drooped down, and a faint flush inadvertently swayed on his face.
"Dad, if Liu Sandao dies like this today, won't the daughter and the child in her womb become poor orphans and widows from now on?"
As soon as Xiao Liuyi spoke, Yulou, who looked nervous, couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and the corners of his mouth quietly raised a treacherous smile. In fact, Yulou has already considered Xiao Liuyi's temperament, and will eventually choose to focus on the overall situation, since the wood has been completed, then she will not let the situation continue to deteriorate, but will make compromises to preserve the hard-won stable situation between Sansheng Mountain and Lu Yifan. It's just that even if Yulou himself is completely sure, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be variables, and before Xiao Liuyi finally makes a statement, he still has to pinch a cold sweat.
The soldiers made dangerous moves, and sure enough, they were either dead or alive!
......
