Shocked, disappointed, and incredulous, this is Zhou Daoyi's demeanor and mood at this time.

He listened to Zhou Chun's words, and he didn't expect that the object of Zhou Chun's suspicion would be Zhou Zhengkang, a foundation-building seed that had been cultivated by the family!

The result shocked and unbelievable him.

He didn't want Zhou Chun's suspicions to come true.

But he chewed Zhou Chun's words carefully, and found that the result of this speculation based on a combination of facts and speculation was very reasonable and unbelievable.

For a while, he was stunned and didn't say anything for a long time.

Zhou Chun also knew that it was difficult for him to accept that his suspicions were true, and he was even more worried about what decisions he would make that would be unfavorable to him.

So after a little hesitation, he suggested again: "Actually, patriarch, if you want to verify the authenticity of the junior's suspicion without hurting the seventh brother's trust in the family, it is very simple, you just need to ask Elder Taishang if he has given him honey flower tea recently." ”

"If Elder Taishang gave a large amount of honey flower tea to Seventh Brother, then Seventh Brother drinking honey flower tea alone in the study is also a normal thing that can be explained, which proves that the younger generation thinks too much."

Zhou Chun's suggestion is actually very risky.

Because once Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde, whether true or false, recognized this matter and returned to protect Zhou Zhengkang, then his suspicions would not stand.

But Zhou Chun still did it.

The reason is very simple, he must not let Zhou Daoyi have the illusion that he is jealous of Zhou Zhengkang to do this.

Another is that in his heart, through Zhou Zhengkang's previous performance, he is already eighty or ninety percent sure that the other party is a traitor.

Even if Elder Taishang Zhou Mingde protects him this time and helps him get out of danger, as long as the degree of surveillance of him is increased in the future, he is not afraid that he will not be able to catch the evidence of his collusion with outsiders.

Until this time, even Zhou Chun himself never thought that Zhou Zhengkang would be the murderer of Zhou Jiahui.

At this time, after listening to Zhou Chun's suggestion, Zhou Daoyi also came back to his senses, nodded again and again and said, "Zhengchun, your suggestion is very good, this seat will go to Elder Taishang to verify this matter." ”

After speaking, his face was solemn, and he looked at Zhou Chun with a solemn expression and explained: "In addition, don't say what you said today to anyone except this seat, even other elders and Supreme Elders, understand?" ”

"Yes, juniors understand!"

Zhou Chun's heart froze, and he immediately responded to it.

He knew in his heart that this was Zhou Daoyi protecting himself.

When Zhou Chun was sent back to Baozhi Peak to wait for news.

After sending Zhou Chun away, Zhou Daoyi also pondered alone in the "Zhongping Palace" for several hours before finally calming down his mentality and adjusting it.

Then he went to the Taishang Elder Zhou Mingde Cave Mansion at the top of the pagoda peak.

"The patriarch came to the old man today, is there something wrong with the family?"

In the cave, Zhou Mingde looked at Zhou Daoyi, who had nothing to do and went to the Three Treasures Palace, and directly asked the other party about his intentions.

He, the Supreme Elder, usually devoted himself to cultivation, but when he asked about family affairs, he would generally only come to him when he encountered something that Zhou Daoyi and others could not solve, perhaps a decision that could not be easily made.

So he knew very well that Zhou Daoyi came to see him without asking for instructions in advance, and he must have encountered something.

In the face of his inquiry, Zhou Daoyi first nodded, then shook his head and said: "There is indeed something trivial in the family, but don't worry about it, uncle, today's younger generation came to see uncle to ask you for some honey flower tea for hospitality!" ”

"Asking for honey flower tea for guests?"

Zhou Mingde was slightly stunned, and then looked at Zhou Daoyi carefully.

I couldn't help but shake my head again and again: "I don't have much honey tea, when I first came to Yasukuni before, we gave gifts everywhere, but we emptied most of the inventory in our hands, and now I only have less than two bottles left in my hands!" ”

When Zhou Daoyi heard this, he immediately frowned.

"Don't you even have it in your hands, uncle?"

Then he nodded and said: "Then the junior should think of a way from other clansmen, Zhengkang that kid I remember that I also got some honey flower tea from the family before, he is young, this thing should still be in his hand!" ”

Unexpectedly, after Zhou Mingde heard his words, he shook his head directly and said: "Don't count on Zhengkang, after he drank it with me once two years ago, he begged me to give him half a bottle, how could I give him so much, and in the end I only gave him two pills to satisfy his hunger!" ”

However, as soon as he said this, he saw Zhou Daoyi's face in front of him suddenly change.

I saw that his face was instantly filled with anger and shouted: "Then it seems that it is really him!"

”

This kind of change also made Zhou Mingde's expression change greatly, and he couldn't help but look at him with a solemn face and asked repeatedly: "What is really him?" What exactly are you hiding? ”

When Zhou Daoyi heard this, he immediately took a deep breath and said in a heavy voice: "Uncle Mingjian, it's not that the juniors deliberately concealed it just now, but before this matter was confirmed, the juniors really didn't dare to let you know easily!" ”

"But now everything is clear, and the younger generation can only tell the truth to your uncle!"

Then from the disappearance of Zhou Jiahui, to how the Zhou family could not find anyone, how to investigate the traitor, and how Zhou Chun deduced the clue of "honey flower tea" to judge Zhou Zhengkang as the most suspicious.

"The Exotic Reclamation of Vegetable Skeletons"

directly told all the clues and suspicions to Zhou Mingde.

And just like when Zhou Daoyi first heard Zhou Chun say that Zhou Zhengkang was a suspect, he reacted so much.

When Zhou Mingde heard that one of his favorite juniors would be a traitor to the family, he was also very shocked and unbelievable.

In particular, he didn't have any intuitive impression of Zhou Chun, it was only because Zhou Chun won the top ten in the youth group in the five major immortal cultivation family fighting competitions, and the discoverer of the Chiyao iron vein, that he knew that there was such a good junior among the younger generation of the family.

At this time, when he heard that Zhou Daoyi was suspicious of Zhou Zhengkang as a family traitor based on the speculation of such a junior in his twenties, he also felt very ridiculous and angry in his heart.

"Just because there is a teapot in Zhengkang's study that has been brewed with honey flower tea, it is suspected that he betrayed the family and murdered the elders, Daoyi, don't you think this matter is ridiculous?"

"And the junior you mentioned, how do you know that he is not jealous of Zhengkang's treatment in the family, jealous that Zhengkang is about to take Zhuji Dan Zhuji, so he will pour dirty water on Zhengkang like this?"

"Without any actual evidence, is it reasonable for you to doubt a family's foundation seed?"

Zhou Mingde glared at Zhou Daoyi with an angry face, and his tone was very intense.

And no wonder he is.

After all, Zhou Zhengkang, as a descendant of his own brother, has been loved by him as his descendant since he was a child, and he also has high hopes for him.

Now when he heard that Zhou Daoyi had no actual evidence, he suspected that his favorite descendant had betrayed the family, how could he not be extremely angry.

But Zhou Daoyi had a few hours of calm thinking in the "Zhongping Palace" before, and at this time, he was very calm in the face of his expected reaction.

I saw that Zhou Daoyi was not in a hurry to argue with him, but looked at him with a heavy face and said: "Uncle, calm down first, the younger generation knows that you love Zhengkang very much, and over the years, the younger generation has paid a lot more attention and support to him than you, you won't disagree with this!" ”

When Zhou Mingde heard this, he immediately opened his mouth, but he couldn't refute it.

Twenty years earlier, not long after he broke through the Purple Mansion, he was busy getting familiar with this realm and cultivating spells diligently, and he really didn't have much effort to take care of Zhou Zhengkang, so he could only ask Zhou Daoyi, the patriarch, to take care of it on his behalf.

Later, after the Zhou family took root in Jiufengling, he also knew his importance to the Zhou family today, and felt that he had a great responsibility, so he had been practicing diligently, and he had no time to take care of Zhou Zhengkang.

In addition, Zhou Zhengkang had grown up at that time, so he only needed to give more treasures and occasionally call them to his side for guidance.

At this time, he couldn't refute his words, Zhou Daoyi was also sure in his heart, and continued: "You said that we suspect Zhengkang without any evidence, which is obviously wrong. ”

"Zhengkang happened to leave the family on the day Jiahui left, and not long after Jiahui left, he came to me with the back foot and said that he wanted to go out for a walk, this time of distraction is too much of a coincidence!"

"There is also the time when Zhengchun witnessed him coming out of the Spirit Beast Pavilion before, at that point in time, wasn't it not long after the Qinglian Temple ended recruiting disciples, and Uncle Ancestor, you and I just lifted the ban on him a few days ago?"

"At that point in time, when I went to the Spirit Beast Pavilion, is this also a distraction in the past?"

"There is also the fragrance of honey tea that Zhengchun smelled in his study, uncle, you and I both know that drinking tea in a place like the study can only be drunk by yourself, and the teapot must have just been brewed for less than a day!"

"And this happened to be more than ten days after Jiahui's disappearance."

"You also said that you didn't give him much honey flower tea, and the Spirit Beast Pavilion only sells spirit honey over there, and doesn't sell honey flower tea directly, so where did he get this honey flower tea, can you help him explain it clearly?"

"There is another thing, since he came back from a trip to today, he has asked the juniors a few times when he will be able to receive the Tsukidan, if he didn't suspect him before, the juniors wouldn't think much about it, but now they don't dare to think about what his purpose is!"

It can be clearly seen that every time Zhou Daoyi said a little, Zhou Mingde's face became ugly, and the anger on his face also decreased by a point.

After Zhou Daoyi finished synthesizing all aspects of the information, the anger on his face almost dissipated.

And Zhou Daoyi's words were not finished, and he quickly continued: "Zhengkang, this kid, the younger generation thinks that he understands it well, and his talent and qualifications are very good, but because of this, he has developed his pride, and has always thought that his future achievements must not stop at the realm of the younger generation, and may not even stop at the Purple Mansion Period!" ”

"Originally, this is nothing, young people are not young and vigorous, they are not called young people, who is not young when they are young?"

"But Uncle Ancestor, you also know that the incident we prevented him from worshipping the Qinglian Temple before had dealt him a big blow, and even made him feel that we were blocking his path!"

"Of course, you and I both know that when he builds the foundation in the future, he will gradually understand how difficult it is to open up the Purple Mansion in the future, and understand how rare it is to be able to use spiritual objects for the monks in the foundation building period, and he will naturally figure these things out at that time, so he doesn't pay too much attention to his childish thoughts."

Speaking of this, Zhou Daoyi couldn't help but sigh deeply with a wry smile on his face: "But now it seems that neither you nor I think he will do stupid things, but he is really likely to do it!" What normal people don't do, there will always be abnormal people who do it! ”

In this last sentence, how much sadness and grief is contained, only Zhou Daoyi knows in his heart.

If it weren't for too many clues pointing to Zhou Zhengkang, Zhou Daoyi would not have believed that Zhou Zhengkang, who was the seed of the family's foundation, would betray the family!

I'm afraid that if this kind of thing is said, few people in the Zhou family will believe it and dare to believe it.

Because Zhou Zhengkang's conditions are too good, his excellent spiritual root talent, and his excellent background background, under the superposition of the two, he is destined to become one of the most powerful people in the Zhou family in the future, and it is even very likely that the word "one" will be removed.

With such good conditions, normal people will only think of betraying the family and leaving the family if their brains are broken.

"Although the old man still can't believe that Zhengkang would do that kind of thing, but Daoyi, since you are already convinced of this matter, the old man can let you verify the authenticity, what are you going to do?"

Zhou Mingde looked at Zhou Daoyi with a complicated face in front of him, and after being silent for a while, he still made a decision that was in line with his identity.

He was able to stand up and lead the Zhou family monks to Jiufengling to take root, and there was no need to doubt the loyalty and love of the Zhou family.

Therefore, even if it was difficult for him to believe that Zhou Zhengkang would betray the family, after Zhou Daoyi, the patriarch who was also deeply trusted and relied on by him, had already stated that he would investigate the matter, he would not forcibly stop it for his own selfish reasons.

It's just that this kind of investigation and verification must be carried out under his supervision.

Zhou Daoyi also understood this, so he quickly said: "This is very simple, if Zhengkang is really such a stupid and unaware idiot, we only need to call him over and search him face to face, and when the time comes, under the gaze and questioning of you and the juniors, as long as the clues that point to him are true, he can't be completely silent!" ”

"Okay, then do it!"

Zhou Mingde twitched his eyebrows, and when he went to the "Zhongping Palace" with Zhou Daoyi, he then watched Zhou Daoyi assign the blue parrot "Lan Lan" to summon Zhou Zhengkang.

Not long after this, Zhou Zhengkang came to the palace.

It can be clearly seen that when Zhou Mingde was also in the hall, a trace of panic appeared in Zhou Zhengkang's eyes.

Although he quickly covered up the past, this still couldn't escape the eyes of Zhou Mingde and the others, and the two of them immediately sank in their hearts.

Then Zhou Mingde seemed to have completely forgotten the process of discussing with Zhou Daoyi before, and directly opened his beard, glaring at Zhou Zhengkang, who had just entered the hall, and shouted: "Evil obstacles, you have happened!" ”

Yes!

Zhou Zhengkang was taken aback, and took a few steps back, and hurriedly said, "Uncle Grandpa, what did you say?" Why can't my grandson understand! ”

"I still want to quibble!"

Zhou Mingde shouted angrily, and when he raised his hand and waved, he used the "fixation technique" to freeze Zhou Zhengkang in place.

Then he stretched out his hand, and the storage bag on Zhou Zhengkang's waist fell into his hands.

I saw that he easily opened the storage bag and shook out all the contents of it.

Soon, the jade bottle that still contained the remaining few "honey flower tea" tea pills was ingested by him and into his hand.

When he saw the newer tea pills inside, the anger on Zhou Mingde's face was no longer deliberately pretended.

"Just for the sake of a few tea pills, you betrayed the family and murdered the elders!

”

He squeezed the jade bottle in his hand tightly, and glared at Zhou Zhengkang with anger on his face, and the anger in his eyes almost turned into substance.

And Zhou Daoyi followed with his divine sense at this time to sweep on a pile of things on the ground, and quickly looked at one of the money bags containing a large number of spirit coins and said: "There are also a lot more spirit coins, he has been cultivating in the family, I still know how much net worth there is, and the number of spirit coins in this storage bag is obviously far beyond his net worth!" ”

After receiving his reminder, Zhou Mingde also glanced at the bulging money bag, and then the anger on his face became a little more angry.

I saw him raise his hand and wave, and a loud slap of "snap" knocked Zhou Zhengkang to the ground in the air, and also unraveled the effect of the "fixation technique".

"Say, the old man is waiting to listen to your quibbles, to see how capable you are, to be able to make up the origin of these things without leakage, and you can't find the slightest mistake!"

At this moment, Zhou Mingde is like an angry lion, staring at Zhou Zhengkang fiercely, which is very scary.

How hard it was for him to believe that Zhou Zhengkang would betray the family before, and now how angry he was in his heart.

Even Zhou Daoyi, who knew him well, couldn't guess what he would do with Zhou Zhengkang at this time.
