Volume 2 The Remnant of Time Chapter 258 He Is Not Him
Almost all of the people mentioned by Chu Qingxiao are famous and surnamed among the younger generation of Tianhang Mountain, especially Zhao Nianshuang!
After the news of Chu Qingxiao spread, many true or false stories about Chu Qingxiao were born.
Among them, the most eye-catching is the rumor that Chu Qingxiao and Zhao Nianshuang are childhood sweethearts.
Most people are skeptical.
After all, before this, Zhao Nianshuang was in their hearts, and it was like a fairy goddess, except for the one who single-handedly turned the tide in the world of the martial king twelve years ago.
There will never be anyone in this world who can be worthy of Zhao Nianshuang.
At this moment, when Chu Qingxiao mentioned Zhao Nianshuang, everyone changed color slightly, and there was a curious or vigilant look between their eyebrows.
"Since this is the case, then the Lord of Lao Fufeng invites these people to come to the Sword Hall to debate the truth and falsity!" Qiao Qingzhi looked sideways at Fu Zhengliang, who was sitting on the side.
Fu Zhengliang was still thinking about what Zhong Yuan said just now, and he was weighing what the other party was thinking.
Hearing Qiao Qingzhi's words, Kankan came back to his senses, he hurriedly got up and said, "Tell Qiao Si's life." ”
"Master Zhao Feng and Xiang Anrui, Xiaozhu and others in my sect have been practicing in retreat recently, and now they are at a critical moment, so I am afraid they will not be able to come."
As soon as these words came out, Qiao Qingzhi's eyebrows were raised, and his expression was playful: "Zhao Nianshuang Zhao Feng Master broke through the realm of retreat two months ago, and ours knows." But as far as I know, ten days ago, Rui Xiaozhu and Xiang An were still showing up outside, why did they both close their doors at the critical moment? ”
"This ......" Fu Zhengliang was speechless for a while, not knowing how to respond.
"Humph! More than ten days ago, the news of the trial of the seven halls had already been passed on to you by the imperial court. ”
"You should know that they are needed as witnesses for this trial! Knowing this, you let them practice in retreat, why? You don't take the affairs of the court to heart, right? Qiao Qingzhi said sharply.
Although this prison Tiansi does not participate in the struggle for power in the court most of the time, after all, he is in a high position, and Qiao Qingzhi still understands some of the doorways.
This is clearly not a coincidence, but someone did it on purpose.
"Your Excellency!"
"Cultivation is about chance, Xiang Anrui and Xiaozhu both suddenly realized, they are all the pillars of Tianhang Mountain in the future, if such an opportunity is missed, it will be trapped in today's realm for life, such a big thing, we dare not stop it." Fu Zhengliang hurriedly spoke.
For the people of this world, cultivation is obviously the most important thing.
Bad people are like killing their parents.
Even if Qiao Qingzhi knew that Fu Zhengliang made it up, he couldn't find a reason to reprimand.
Chu Qingxiao on the side saw such a change in his eyes, and he was not surprised by this.
Rui Xiaozhu was naturally imprisoned by Bailongfeng, and Chu Qingxiao would not doubt this.
As for Xiang An, he is a smart person, the driving force behind the tragedy of Wuling City was hugely hostile to Chu Qingxiao, Xiang An also fell to the other party after understanding that Chu Qingxiao could not be persuaded to surrender, but before he was unsure of Zhao Nianshuang's position, he did not dare to easily make a move on Chu Qingxiao in the open.
Therefore, not showing up now is the wisest choice for him.
Thinking of this, Chu Qingxiao looked at Qiao Qingzhi and said, "Master Qiao, isn't there still Fan Yuanwu?" Ask him to come forward, and he can testify for me. ”
Qiao Qingzhi frowned.
Judging from the information she got from the investigation she had done, that Fan Yuanwu was obviously on the side of Baifang Mansion and others, Rui Xiaozhu and Xiang An both chose Mingzhe to protect themselves and never showed up, but Fan Yuanwu was not so smart, he was obviously instructed by some people, once he arrived, I am afraid that the testimony given would be unfavorable to Chu Qingxiao.
Qiao Qingzhi had the intention to pull Chu Qingxiao, so he said: "How can one person be a witness, I think it is better to wait for a few days, wait until Xiang An and Rui Xiaozhu are out of the customs, and then make a decision, so as to convince the public." ”
"Qiao Si's order is wrong!" But Qiao Qingzhi's words had just come out, but Lu Zhaoran, who had been holding back his anger in his heart before, finally found an opportunity, he got up and said: "Fan Yuanwu is also an old person in Wuling City, and he already has the identity of Miss Chu before, as long as Fan Yuanwu can also prove that this guy is Chu Qingxiao, we can close the case, why delay any longer, you and I are both court officials, and the affairs of various departments are busy. ”
"I think Lu Siming has a point." And at this moment, the official of the Imperial Historical Observatory on the side also echoed his words.
At this point, although Qiao Qingzhi was uneasy, he could only frown and fall silent.
Seeing this, Lu Zhaoran nodded to Fu Zhengliang on the side, and Fu Zhengliang suddenly realized, and several disciples of Tianhang Mountain left immediately.
After about a hundred breaths, I saw several disciples of Tianhang Mountain walking to the front of the Sword Hall with a man who thought he was in his early thirties.
Chu Qingxiao turned his head to look at the man.
When he was in Wuling City, he didn't have much contact with Fan Yuanwu.
It's just that I know that Fan Yuan's martial family was quite famous in Wuling City in the past, and his ancestors accumulated a lot of wealth by doing business.
But then his father was deceived by a friend, and he lost money in trading, and since that day on, Fan's father has been in a slump, bought an ancestral business, drank alcohol every day to eliminate his sorrows, and soon died of depression.
His mother had taken a fancy to his father's family property before marrying him, and now that the Fan family was down, his mother turned around and found a new friend, and left, leaving only Fan Yuanwu and his younger brother to rely on each other.
Fan Yuanwu's younger brother has been frail and sickly since he was a child.
Fan Yuanwu, who was just a child, in order to support himself and his younger brother, could only do some unseemly and stealing things.
But how can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet?
Once he was caught by the shopkeeper of the hotel, and took seven or eight guys to beat him up on the street, Chu Qingxiao and Xiang An happened to pass by that day, and the two of them read that for the sake of Shi Fan Yuanwu and his classmates, they brought out the identity of Chu Qingxiao's father's servant, which made the shopkeeper of the hotel take his hand.
Fan Yuanwu was grateful to Chu Qingxiao and the others.
It was at that time that Chu Qingxiao heard about the situation of his family, and after knowing that he still had a younger brother who was lying on the couch all the year round, he also took Zhao Nianshuang to visit from time to time, send some food, and find some clothes that he didn't use.
Chu Qingxiao's own life is also poor, and this is everything he can do for them, and even through Mr. Luo's relationship, he found some Langzhong for Fan Yuanwu's younger brother.
But in the end, his brother died.
That is, from that day on, Fan Yuanwu lived in seclusion and was depressed for a long time, until the candle yin came.
Looking at the old man twelve years ago, now standing in front of him with a childish attitude, Chu Qingxiao's heart couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
He was about to say something to Fan Yuanwu, who was walking towards him, but Fan Yuanwu stood still about two steps away from him, and looked at the officials around him: "Fan Yuanwu, disciple of Tianhang Peak, I have seen all of you. ”
He said this, his tone was serious, but he didn't look at Chu Qingxiao from beginning to end.
Chu Qingxiao's face was just a little excited, and under Fan Yuanwu's performance, it suddenly dispersed.
"Well, I heard that you are from Wuling City." Lu Zhaoran asked at this time.
"Lord Yu, the little one is indeed from Wuling City." Fan Yuanwu replied respectfully.
Lu Zhaoran nodded, and asked again: "Then think about it carefully, when you were in Wuling City twelve years ago, did you recognize a person named Chu Qingxiao?" ”
"Chu Qingxiao?" Fan Yuanwu looked puzzled, he thought about it very seriously, and then said: "Remember, there is indeed such a person, who is an old friend with Senior Brother Xiang An, and seems to be a brother and sister with Lord Zhao Feng. ”
As a disciple of Tianhang Mountain, and an inner disciple who has made some names over the years, Fan Yuanwu's words have weight.
As soon as these words came out, those onlookers showed their faces unexpectedly.
Regarding the fact that Chu Qingxiao and Zhao Nianshuang are childhood sweethearts, there is new evidence.
Such anecdotes are obviously more likely to arouse the curiosity of the do-gooders.
And now, all that is left is the last question, that is, whether the Chu Qingxiao in front of him is the Chu Qingxiao in Wuling City.
The answer to this question will soon be answered in Fan Yuanwu's mouth, and everyone looked at Fan Yuanwu curiously at this time.
"Then look at the one next to you, is it the old man in Wuling City in your mouth." Lu Zhaoran also said at this time.
Fan Yuanwu nodded, and only then did he turn his head to look at Chu Qingxiao for the first time.
His gaze was calm, looking up and down, this process was not long, but for everyone around him, it seemed extraordinarily long, even if it was a superintendent like Qiao Qingzhi, he didn't dare to take a breath at this time.
Until......
Fan Yuanwu suddenly laughed.
He withdrew his gaze, turned his head to look at Lu Zhaoran, and said under the nervous gaze of everyone.
"Report to your lordship."
"Whether it is appearance or temperament, it is no different from the Chu Qingxiao in my memory."
As soon as these words came out, Chu Zhaozhao on the side secretly breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that this Fan Yuanwu should not be without conscience.
Lu Zhaoran frowned, and subconsciously looked at Fu Zhengliang on the side, with a hint of reproach in his eyes.
Without waiting for Fu Zhengliang to respond with his eyes, Fan Yuanwu's voice sounded again.
"But ......"
"I'm pretty sure of it."
"He's not Chu Qingxiao!"
