Volume 8: The Mystery of the Ancient Tomb is chaotic Life and Death, and the people of today are clever in their hands (5,000 chapters) Volume 8 Chapter 39: Reckoning and Settlement
The person who delivered the meal has already gone away. Xiang Yiling secretly said in his heart, and then he couldn't bear it anymore and cried silently.
Who in this world would believe that their relatives are the most sinful people?
But what is happening now makes Xiang Yiling unbelievable.
She began to think back to everything that had happened beforeβ
After Miao Zhai tied up the three guarantors, they locked them in a vacant stilted building, and Elder Wu also arranged for a special person to guard them.
Xiang Yiling sat on the ground, his heart in turmoil:
"I saw Sheng Yuyan's knife stuck in Brother Yuan's neck earlier, and I also met a black-robed man, he said that Sister Liu was also raped, and then I fainted, is that a dream or reality?"
If it is a dream, but in fact, the stilted building where Sister Liu lives has indeed collapsed, Brother Ah Yuan and they are really dead, and Brother Jiang and his party have really disappeared, if it is a dream, how can it be so consistent with reality?
But if that's true, then why did I wake up and go back to bed, with no change in my whole body, even my shoes were dry?
Xiang Yiling remembered the black-robed man:
"Did he send me back?"
Thinking about it, Xiang Yiling couldn't figure it out - how could this black-robed man be so kind to him?
But after all, it was determined that the black-robed man was a friend and not an enemy, so Xiang Yiling continued to think:
"If according to what the black-robed man said, Sister Liu was bullied, Sheng Yu killed Ah Yuan......"
Then Xiang Yiling frowned - in her impression, the four dead Ah Yuan were very simple, how could they suddenly become animalistic? It's weird.
"I hope Sister Liu is okay......" said to Yiling very reverently and softly.
The voice caught the guard's attention:
"What? Be honest. β
Seeing that Xiang Yiling was silent, the middle-aged man who was guarding sighed:
"Xiang Yiling, you are really confused, why do you take in a few Central Plains dog thieves and vouch for them? They have killed people and set fires, raped women, and done all kinds of bad things, but you have to behead them with them, and you have given your lives in vain, which is really not worth it. β
Hearing this, Xiang Yiling shook his head firmly:
"Brother Jiang would never do such a thing."
The man was furious:
"So many people have seen it, can there be a fake? Besides, are those daughters-in-law who have been harmed crazy and want to use their innocence to accuse your brother Jiang! Xiang Yiling, if you dare to speak for these dog thieves again, look at me if I don't give you a big ear slap! β
Seeing Xiang Yiling bow his head, the man scolded and scolded:
"Damn, count your girl ...... acquaintance"
And Xiang Yiling bowed his head not because he was afraid of him beating, but remembered a very bold assumption - Ah Yuan and the four of them were honest and honest on weekdays, but they suddenly became animalistic, and no one would believe it, but Sheng Yuyan did kill for revenge; Jiang Xiaoshu is known to be chivalrous, and he was even accused of raping a woman, and it was the victim himself who identified him, so there was almost no possibility of fraud......
Is it possible that neither of them has wronged each other? Xiang Yiling's eyes lit up:
"Ah Ming, the four of them and the big brother Jiang who does all kinds of evil are actually pretending, so it all makes sense!"
Although she didn't know about the existence of the "Thousand Faces Marquis" in the tomb of King Miao, this deduction was already very close.
Thinking of this, Xiang Yiling's heart was shocked, and he couldn't wait to tell everyone about it immediately, quickly catch the real culprit, return Jiang Xiaoshu to their innocence, and save his father and Zhu Yujin from being sat together.
But the reality is that she is being tied up tightly and thrown to the ground, and it is difficult to even get up.
The ropes on Xiang Yiling's body were personally tied by his father Xiang Yufeng, one ring after another, and countless dead knots were intertwined with each other, not to mention unraveling, even if he cut it with a knife, he was afraid that it would take a long time to cut......
He shouted to Yiling:
"Uncle Shi, I want to see Elder Wu."
The middle-aged man surnamed Shi turned his head:
"What are you doing with him?"
Xiang Yiling said:
"I thought of a very crucial clue and wanted to ......"
"Don't do this!" Uncle Shi interrupted her:
"Elder Wu said, you sit with that group of Central Plains thieves, don't say that you can't overturn the case for them at all, even if you are clever and clear all their sins, the capital crime of their entry into the forbidden land is a certainty, you don't have to do useless struggles, wait to cut off your head!"
After the man said this, he was already tired of it, and quickly turned his head away, it seemed that he would not pay attention to what Xiang Yiling said again.
Xiang Yiling didn't continue to ask, but became silent - Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang, when you run, why didn't you run out, but ran into the forbidden land? I didn't take what I said to you to heart......
In a hurry, Xiang Yiling couldn't help but struggle hard, it didn't matter, she found that the ropes that cut her hands were loosened!
If there is a thief or a famous catch, you will definitely be able to see the clue at a glance - the rope that binds Xiang Yiling seems to be a bunch of dead knots pulling each other, but in fact, the opening of the last dead knot is the next dead knot, interlocking, and the seventeen dead knots happen to become a circle, which is an extremely exquisite fairy buckle.
And this kind of fairy buckle seems to be tied very tightly, but in fact, with a little force, it can break free.
Xiang Yiling looked up nervously, only to see that Uncle Shi, who was in charge of guarding, still had his face turned to the side, not noticing the situation on his side at all.
She broke free of the rope and looked around, but couldn't find anything to do with it.
But at this time, the restraints on her body had been loosened, Xiang Yiling got up slightly, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be something in her arms. But she never remembered when she had brought such an item.
Picking up the iron lock, her gaze moved to the back of Uncle Shi's head.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After a moment, Xiang Yiling nervously walked to the next room, she stopped in front of the door, poked through the window paper with wet saliva, and looked in.
It was Xiang Yufeng who was being imprisoned in the room, and the person in charge of the guards was obviously much more responsible than Uncle Shi, always keeping an eye on his father.
Xiang Yiling held the iron lock tightly, looked at the door, and then dodged behind the door, and the moment the guard opened the door, Xiang Yiling raised his hand is a blow, the caretaker obviously didn't expect this, and the back of his head was firmly hit and fainted.
Xiang Yiling hurriedly entered the house, but before he could speak, he heard his father's command:
"Go save Xiao Zhu and let him take you away."
"What?"
"I'll make some noise, and you two will take the opportunity to escape."
"Daddy, Brother Jiang, they have been wronged, and there are many misunderstandings here...... We can't confess our sins so unexplicitly! β
"I know everything, so you and Xiao Zhu have to go first."
"What?"
"Only when you two are gone will I be able to settle down and investigate everything...... Still stunned for what to do, go quickly. β
"Yes, Daddy, you have to be careful."
"Hmm."
Xiang Yiling retreated to find the room where Zhu Yujin was being held, and when he also walked to the door, he poked through the window paper and snooped.
Seeing this, Xiang Yiling was almost frightened and cried out.
A person in the house fell to the ground, motionless, a pool of blood on the ground, obviously dead, the deceased was tied with a rope and dressed in yellow, who was not Zhu Yujin?
A thunderbolt immediately sounded in Xiang Yiling's mind - Brother Zhu was killed by the guards!
The caretaker sat quietly beside Zhu Yujin, as if thinking about something, he was facing the inner room, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
Xiang Yiling couldn't bear it anymore, a tear slipped down and smashed on the ground.
Although the sound was light, the caretaker in the house was immediately shocked, and Xiang Yiling only felt that there was a flower in front of him, and the caretaker in the house disappeared, and before he understood what was happening, he was grabbed by the neck and lifted up.
This big hand was so powerful that it tightened mercilessly, and in just an instant, Xiang Yiling's eyes turned white and he struggled violently.
"Hmm!" A voice of surprise sounded, and then the hand that was holding his neck loosened.
Xiang Yiling struggled to open his eyes, but he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
The person in front of him was rubbing his neck, invigorating his blood and removing stasis, and when he saw his gaze, this person smiled:
"What's wrong?"
This man? How could it be Brother Zhu?
Xiang Yiling said thoughtfully:
"Brother Zhu, have the two of us come to the Netherworld?"
Zhu Yujin frowned:
"What stupid thing are you kidding?"
Xiang Yiling looked around, she was still at the door of the room where Zhu Yujin was still being held, she pointed to the house, and said ignorantly:
"Didn't we both kill your guards?"
Only then did Zhu Yujin understand what Xiang Yiling meant, he smiled, and then pulled Xiang Yiling into the room:
"This guy was solved by me, I changed into his clothes, and was about to come to save you, how do you know that you have arrived first, and you almost misunderstood."
Walking into the house, Xiang Yiling frowned with the bloody smell that rushed to her nose, and when she heard Zhu Yujin's words, she was shocked:
"Brother Zhu, you, why didn't you knock him out? Why do you want to kill people? β
Zhu Yujin shook his head:
"If they wake up and scream, how can we survive?"
Xiang Yiling looked at the tragic condition of the deceased, and couldn't help but say:
"I understand this, but as long as you don't let them speak, you should save your life."
Zhu Yujin's face sank when he heard this:
"When they wanted to cut off our heads, they didn't think about sparing lives."
Xiang Yiling was stunned for a moment, and was a little speechless for a while, so he had to change the topic:
"Brother Zhu, I have made a discovery."
Then she said that someone pretended to be someone else to do evil and provoke conflicts, and then she said:
"This is the truth of the matter, Brother Jiang, they were wronged, they are not guilty at all."
Zhu Yujin glanced at her meaningfully, and then nodded silently.
"Brother Zhu, what should I do now?"
"According to what Xiang Bo said, let's escape first."
"But who will clear their suspicions for Brother Jiang?"
"You have to protect yourself before you can think about other people's business."
"But ......"
"Alright, stand still."
Xiang Yiling stood still, only to see Zhu Yujin take out a piece of paper-like thing and cover it on his face, and then after a while, he took out a silver needle and pierced it in a certain acupoint on his forehead, which seemed to be used to fix this thing.
"What is this?"
"It's a kind of mask that looks like someone else when you put it on."
Mask!
Xiang Yiling was suddenly startled, and a terrible guess began to emerge in his heart.
When she saw Zhu Yujin's familiar mask and instantly turned into a middle-aged man in the village, she became more and more sure of her guess.
Zhu Yujin saw that her expression was different, and asked softly:
"What's wrong?"
Xiang Yiling felt that her hands and feet were starting to be cold, and a chill appeared in her heart, the person in front of her was obviously smiling so kindly, but she seemed to see the most terrifying monster, and she couldn't help but take half a step back.
She covered her mouth and shook her head desperately with tears in her eyes, not wanting to believe the truth at all.
Zhu Yujin's expression gradually cooled down, and after a while, he sighed:
"Yiling, sometimes people are too smart and will have a lot of troubles, you always don't understand......"
"Shut up!" Xiang Yiling screamed, her trembling hand pointed at Zhu Yujin, and tears poured out like a broken embankment:
"You...... How can you do such a thing! You're just, you're wearing this human skin in vain! β
Zhu Yujin was silent for a moment before asking:
"What did I do?"
"I understand, I understand everything, you came back last year, not long after you came back, the 'curse of the Central Plains people' began to appear in the village, Miao Village suffered deeply, and many Central Plains people were wronged...... It turns out that this is all your conspiracy, Zhu Yujin, do you know how many innocent people you have harmed? β
"Innocent? What an innocent, what did they do to me, didn't your father tell you? β
"This! You mean you ...... when you were a kid."
"So you know, you know everything. Then let me ask you, when they bullied me, did anyone like you do now, scolding them for wearing human skin in vain? β
ββ¦β¦β
"Nope! No one has come forward! That just and selfless Elder Wu, on the day I was killed and crippled, guess what he said? β
"I ......"
He told everyone. This is a child who is not sensible and playful. Hahahaha, did you hear that? It turned out to be a joke! It's really laughing at me, ouch, no, hahahaha......"
He almost mentioned the best laughing thing in the world, laughing breathlessly, laughing so much that tears flowed.
Looking at Zhu Yujin's laughter and scolding, Xiang Yiling was stunned, she suddenly felt that the person in front of her was extremely pitiful at this moment.
The laughter stopped abruptly, and Zhu Yujin raised his head sideways:
"From that day I swear - one day, I will seek revenge on the people who bullied me, I will seek revenge on the people who stand by, I will kill this filthy Miao Village to the bones, and the last fire will be burned!"
His eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth and whimpered, his eyes cracked, like a wounded beast, full of endless hatred.
Hearing this unforgettable curse, Xiang Yi Ling's fierce spirit suddenly woke up to the fact that the person in front of him was no longer the orphan who was bullied, but a demon with countless blood debts.
Zhu Yujin took a deep breath and began to try to calm his expression, but to no avail, the gentle eyes torn out of his terrifying face were like a patchwork portrait painting, revealing indescribable weirdness and weirdness.
He said:
"Yiling, obedient, follow me to a safe place, and when this group of untouchables are all dead, I will take you out to meet with Xiang Bo, and then I will take you to see the heavy snow in Liaodong, the wild wolf Gobi, and the Mobei grassland......"
The more he spoke, the more his eyes burned, as if he had been looking forward to that day for a long time, and his tone was full of hope and confusion.
Until Xiang Yiling's slap interrupted him.
"Smack!"
Zhu Yujin seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on his head, and his eyes immediately became clear.
It was as clear as a pool of stagnant water, without any life, but it accurately reflected the disappointment in Xiang Yiling's eyes.
Xiang Yiling shook his head sadly:
"We are like brothers and sisters, I am willing to share your worries for you and use my best efforts to heal the pain for you, even if it takes more time and energy...... But let me continue to watch you harm more people, and even harm the entire Miao Jiang, but it is absolutely unacceptable...... Not! β
Zhu Yujin suddenly stunned her, and then helped her up and walked downstairs.
Walking in the Miao Village, at this time, the people of the other fifteen villages have arrived one after another, and the village is crowded with people, and no one will notice the two ordinary middle-aged couples here.
Then there was a commotion behind him, and before Xiang Yiling was confused, he vaguely heard a whisper:
"Did you hear that? Those three guarantors ran away? β
"Ran away?"
"Yes, the little four next door to my house saw it with his own eyes, Xiang Yufeng took those two young people and went out."
"It's impossible, Elder Wu didn't say it......"
"You're stupid! Now that the sixteen villages are gathering to prepare for battle, how can Elder Wu lose face in front of them, let's talk quietly, don't let the people from the outer villages listen to it......"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
When he woke up, Xiang Yiling was already in the tomb of King Miao.
Zhu Yujin's crimes, Zhu Yujin's miserable situation when he was a child, his father's whereabouts, the safety of Jiang Xiaoshu and his party, the upcoming battle between Miao Zhai and Qingyan Military Town, and his uncertain future...... One by one, they pressed on Xiang Yiling's heart, each one as heavy as Mount Tai, and she had already been overwhelmed until she was numb.
She didn't eat, drink, or sleep, and there was only one thought left in her heart - I wanted to see Zhu Yujin and ask for clarification in person.
After the food delivery person left, Xiang Yiling cried silently, and her sadness and endless hesitation drowned her deeply, like drowning in an bottomless sea.
"Choke!" It was the sound of the door locking open, and a beam of light came in, a little dazzling.
Xiang Yiling raised his head.
The man who came stood at the door with a sword:
"Sorry, I'm a little late."
Xiang Yiling burst into tears, looking at the person in front of him, he was choked up and speechless for a while.
"Still crying?" Seeing this, the man raised his eyebrows:
"It turns out that I came late, but the door opened early, so I should wait for you to wipe it and come in again......"
Xiang Yiling got up violently and threw himself into Jiang Xiaoshu's arms.
Jiang Xiaoshu patted her on the back and said in a low voice:
"Miao Village is a very beautiful place, you are a very beautiful girl, and human life is precious."
"Huh?"
"Trampling on the beautiful landscape, causing beautiful girls to shed tears, slaughtering innocent people...... Whether it is for revenge or ambition, as long as the person who does such a thing deserves the reckoning he deserves. β
He paused, then said firmly:
"Xiang girl, please wait a moment, I will put an end to all this."
