Chapter 220: The True Murderer
In the main hall of the Chu family, several elders had already received the news from the direction of Tailin Lake and gathered together to discuss the matter.
"Although Chu Laosan's cultivation is the lowest among us, he is good at sailing, and he has always been in charge of the business of Tailin Lake, but now he has suffered, after this, who can replace him?"
"yes, that's how it should be."
"You say, could this be a conspiracy of the Liu family?" At this moment, one of the elders looked at the old man at the head and said,
"Boss, since we snatched the ferry share of Tailin Lake from the Liu family ten years ago, the disciples of the two sides have been arguing, could it be this time-" The old man sitting in the center thought for a while, a little unsure.
"Not necessarily, we did it very secretly, at that time, there were not only our Chu family members on the Liu family's ship, but also many outsiders."
"Although after the sinking of the Liu family's boat, our Chu family took over the work of the ferry and took this fragrant dumpling from the Liu family, but it should not be related to the shipwreck." At this time, a disciple of the Chu family walked into the hall.
"Elder, the murderer of Elder Chu is already outside."
"Bring it with you." A moment later, Wei Changming walked into the hall.
"Bold!" At the main hall of the Chu family, several elders glared angrily at Wei Changming, who was standing in the center.
"Who are you, our Chu family has no grievances with you, why do you want to harm Old Chu?" Wei Changming was not afraid at all, raised his head, and looked at several old men.
"Seniors, since you all said that there is no injustice and no hatred, why should I harm others?"
"Until now, I still want to quibble!" One of the old men stood up angrily, pointed at Wei Changming, and said, "No matter who you are, when the time comes, we will definitely find out the power behind you, and find out who guided you to do this." ”
"For now, I'll leave you speechless, come on! Pass the manager in charge of the Chu family's ships. ”
"Yes!" A disciple of the Chu family exited the house. After a while, Wei Changming saw the middle-aged man on the boat walk into the hall and gesture towards several old men.
"Elder."
"Hmm." The old man at the head nodded and continued,
"You're going to retell what happened on board."
"Okay."
"When I was resting on the boat, I suddenly heard the exclamation of the guards, it turned out that Chu Lao had been killed in the room, and at that time, Chu Lao happened to support the guards, and he needed to calm down alone to explore the formation of the ship."
"After investigation, we found that the corner of this young man's clothes was stained with Chu Lao's blood, and at the same time, we could not prove where the blood came from, so we confirmed that he was the murderer of Chu Lao." The middle-aged man continued: "The timing of Old Chu's murder is too coincidental, ordinary people don't know the specific situation of the ferry at all, let alone seize such a perfect opportunity. The middle-aged man looked at Wei Changming.
"And the nearby families are familiar with the ferry, except for the Chu family, there is only the Liu family over there. Therefore, I concluded that he was sent by the Liu family, and the purpose of boarding the ship was to assassinate Chu Lao. ”
"I knew it!" In the hall, many old men were filled with indignation.
"The Liu family deceives people too much." Wei Changming frowned and listened to the conversation in the hall. It all came too quickly.
From boarding the boat by himself, going out for a walk, bumping into an unknown man, and then to the murder of Chu Lao, he inexplicably became a murderer.
Everything after that seems to have been designed. In the hall, Wei Changming thought quickly. Who the hell is driving all this?
Wei Changming looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. Looking at the man's back, Wei Changming suddenly compared it with the person he bumped into at night.
Looking at the indifferent young man in the hall, the old man led by him spoke: "Do you have anything else to say?" Wei Changming got up, just when the elders thought that he still wanted to defend himself.
The young man acted suddenly, his spiritual power was instantly raised, and his right hand turned into a claw, grabbing the middle-aged man in front of him.
"Thief dares!" When an old man saw that Wei Changming actually dared to commit murder in public, he instantly slapped his palm at Wei Changming.
"Whoa!" As soon as Wei Changming grabbed the clothes on the man's back, he was slapped away with a palm.
"Poof!" In an instant, a mouthful of blood gushed out. Hard-shouldered the blow of the Jindan Period, Wei Changming's blood surged in his body.
But fortunately, Wei Changming's goal has been achieved. Wei Changming looked at the middle-aged man's back.
"Sure enough." Wei Changming looked at the elders,
"Looks like I've helped you find out the real culprit." Wei Changming pointed at the man.
"Look at his back." The old men looked at Wei Changming's hand.
"This, this is the Overlord's Palm!" I saw the middle-aged man's back, a palm print was very clear, and for the old man, this palm print was very familiar.
"Only the elders of the Chu family are qualified to learn the Chu Sect Technique." The leader elder muttered,
"Why do you have a scar on your back?"
"Let me tell you." Wei Changming coughed twice and struggled to stand up.
"I was walking on the deck on the day Chu Lao was killed, and someone inexplicably rushed out and hit me, and then disappeared."
After that, the news came that Chu Lao had been killed. And I, because of the blood stains on the corner of my clothes, inexplicably became a murderer. Wei Changming looked at the middle-aged man.
"It seems that the person I bumped into that night was you, sir."
"Is it really you?" In the hall, the old man's expression was complicated. Although he didn't want to believe all this, the middle-aged man's back couldn't be faked.
The middle-aged man did not reply, but suddenly mobilized his spiritual power and rushed outside. It's just that when he was about to reach the temple gate, a familiar palm slapped his back again.
"Poof!" The man fainted and fell to the ground.
"Ugh." The old man retracted his right hand and looked at the guard at the door.
"I'm keeping my hand, he's not dead, he's just fainted, let's be tied up in prison, and I'll be interrogated when he wakes up." Although the man did not speak, his actions had proved his weakness.
"It seems that the murderer has been found this time." The old man looked at Wei Changming.
"I'm Chu Xiang, this time, it's our Chu family who did something wrong." A spirit pill floated into Wei Changming's hand.
"Take it, recuperate, and later in the night, our Chu family will set up a banquet to make amends." Wei Changming took it directly.
In an instant, the elixir dissolved from the throat, and the medicinal power spread to all parts of the body, and the internal injuries suffered by Fang Cai were gradually healing.
······ Outside the Chu family. Feng Yichen and the three of them, who were waiting outside, were a little anxious.
"Otherwise, let's break in." Wang Yu said,
"What if they torture them."
"Don't come nonsense, if we really break in, the fault will really be ours."
"So what to do?" That's when it happened.
"Bang dang!" The closed door of the Chu family opened, and a servant walked out of it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the elders please." After a series of turmoil, it has come to night. Familiar inside the Chu family hall.
Wei Changming and the four of them sat around the table. However, this time, in the same place, Wei Changming's identity has changed somewhat.
Wei Changming is no longer the murderer of Chu Lao who was interrogated, but the helper who helped the elders find the real murderer.
"Come on! Little brothers, this incident is something that our Chu family did inappropriately. In the center, the Great Elder of the Chu Family raised his wine glass and looked at Wei Changming and the others.
"You don't have to take it personally."
"Yes, little friends, the old man is here to make amends for your sins, I will do it first as a respect." After that, a Chu family elder next to the old man drank all the wine in the cup, but his face was a little embarrassed.
In the daytime, he counted himself as the loudest and fiercest. But as soon as the truth came out, he couldn't get off the stage when he yelled at an innocent junior.
"Elders." Wei Changming also raised the wine glass in front of him.
"This time it can't be said that we don't know each other, don't talk about the past, since we are destined to be here, let's have a good talk."
"Good! Good! Seeing that the young man in front of him took the initiative to reveal the matter, all the elders were very satisfied, and looked at the young man in front of him more and more pleasing to the eye.
How could such a sensible young man be the murderer of Chu Lao? I must be old and confused!
Just then, a guard walked in from outside the hall.
"Elder."
"What?" The Great Elder of the Chu Family put down his wine glass and looked at the guards who had given the order.
"The manager committed suicide by poisoning himself in prison."
"What!" The elder put down the glass in his hand heavily, and the wine spilled on the floor.
"What do you think of people? Not a body search before going to jail? How can a person go into prison with poison. The Great Elder of the Chu Family looked at the attendants.
The guards who were focused on their eyes shed a few beads of sweat, and the pressure was quite high.
"I, we searched all over the body, and I don't know where he got the poison." The guard explained. Seeing that the old man in front of him had a frosty face and a somewhat unkind expression, the guard hurriedly added: "But I searched out the token of the Liu family from his arms. With that, the guard hurriedly handed over the token.
The old man took the token and looked at it.
"Sure enough, it is indeed the token of the Liu family." Then the Great Elder of the Chu Family got up again and looked at Wei Changming and the others.
"Dear alumni, I blame you, although the murderer has committed suicide by poisoning, but the token in his arms can already prove his identity, I'm sorry to involve you in the dispute between our Chu family and the Liu family."
"It's okay, the elders don't have to feel guilty." Seeing the attitude of the old man in front of him, Wei Changming's anger had already disappeared.
Seeing a few old people was just being taken advantage of, and they were still honest and kind in nature.
"You little friends, why don't you stay in our Chu family for a while." The Great Elder of the Chu Family was still a little reluctant, and suddenly thought of something, and said to Wei Changming and the others,
"This time, the Liu family made a mistake first, and tomorrow we will send someone to ask for the crime, and when everyone has obtained the stolen goods, we will be able to knock them well, and I will hand over some of the gains to you little friends, which will be regarded as an apology for this incident." Seeing that Wei Changming and the others were still a little hesitant, Chu Lao waved his hand and said, "Don't hesitate, you don't accept these things, and our conscience will not be able to pass." ”
