Chapter 236: Closing the Net (1)
"What's going on here?"
As a cold voice sounded, Luo Youbi, the peak master of Yupan Peak, walked in, followed by Yun Weiyang, Cao Qianjiao and others.
After everyone saw Luo Youbi, they all bowed down and saluted: "See the peak master!" There were a few people who were seriously injured and could only lie on the ground and salute the peak master.
Luo Youbi nodded slightly, everyone got out of the way, she walked into the crowd, and saw the devastated appearance of the alchemy room, and her brows were deeply locked.
Maybe she didn't have to say anything to guess what was going on.
At this time, Du Bi bowed to Luo Youbi at the right time and said, "Qiyu Peak Master, there was an explosion in the alchemy room medicine furnace, and Uncle Zhang and Uncle Ma were unfortunately affected and passed away. ”
When Du Bi said this, Luo Youbi's eyes had already fallen on Ma Fangyu and Zhang Ao who were lying on the ground, and now listening to him finish speaking, his face was incredulous.
Cao Qianjiao, who was behind her, couldn't help but be shocked when she learned that Ma Fangyu had also passed away, she hurriedly walked to Ma Fangyu's side, helped his upper body up, and prepared luck to investigate the injuries in his body.
And Luo Youbi walked straight to Zhang Ao's side, looking at his quiet appearance, his eyes were complicated. He was also a disciple he once loved, but he didn't expect to fall step by step, and finally die in front of himself. This feeling is like knocking over a spice bottle, and the flavors are mixed.
At this moment, Ma Fangyu suddenly sat up, gasping for breath, and constantly smoothing his chest with his hands.
When everyone saw this, they thought that he had cheated the corpse, but later found out that he was not dead, and actually resisted the power of the fire explosion.
Cao Qianjiao wasn't much surprised, when she began to explore Ma Fangyu's body, he had already found that Ma Fangyu's body was still alive, but he deliberately held his breath, afraid that it was for some purpose. However, Cao Qianjiao didn't say anything, just thinking about what happened recently, and her gaze at Ma Fangyu became strange.
"It turns out that I'm not dead yet, I'm scared to death!" Ma Fangyu sighed, his eyes moved to Luo Youbi next to him, and then he quickly got up and saluted, and the whole person looked like he had escaped death.
Ma Fangyu is not dead, but the people who want to harm him are shocked and frightened, shocked that he can still escape death like this, and afraid that this matter is likely to involve himself. Especially Wu Mei next to her, the whole person seemed to be extremely frightened, and her expression was dull.
"Ma Fangyu, you're still alive, so let's talk about it!" Luo Youbi asked lightly after being surprised for a moment.
Ma Fangyu looked completely innocent and replied: "Uncle Luo, what do you want me to say, I don't know anything." ”
Luo Youbi glanced at Ma Fangyu carefully, but she couldn't see any clues, and continued: "I asked you to be in charge of guarding the medicine furnace, and now that the medicine furnace has exploded, if you can't tell me any reason, I will count all the losses here on your head." ”
Hearing this, Ma Fangyu pretended to be flustered, and after pondering for a moment, he sighed and said: "I am really to blame for this, Senior Brother Zhang clearly told me about the explosion of the medicine furnace on the eve of the explosion of the medicine furnace, but unfortunately I didn't believe it at the time, otherwise he wouldn't have died." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions were a little strange, because Ma Fangyu's words seemed to be ordinary, but they couldn't stand scrutiny.
The biggest doubt is why Zhang Ao knew about the explosion of the medicine furnace in advance?
As the Lord of the First Peak, Luo Youbi naturally discovered this, she looked at the disciples around her and asked, "What he said is the truth?"
Everyone nodded in response, and one of the female disciples replied: "That's true, they had a conflict at that time, and Senior Uncle Zhang was controlled by Uncle Ma, and he couldn't break free. They were closest to the medicine furnace, and Uncle Zhang's expression was particularly frightened, and then he said that the medicine furnace was going to explode, and wanted Uncle Ma to take him away. ”
Ma Fangyu looked at the female disciple who spoke, it turned out to be one of the two female disciples who were about to send the utensils into the medicine furnace, it seemed that she was grateful to herself for saving her by luck, so she would speak up.
With the corroboration of others, the matter became mysterious, and the explosion of the medicine furnace faintly felt that it was inseparable from Zhang Ao. Moreover, Zhang Ao hated Ma Fangyu to the core, and he had the motive to do so.
Luo Youbi thought so, the expression on his face became solemn, if it was really Zhang Ao's doing, then he would have lived up to his expectations of him too much.
Of course, Luo Youbi can't conclude that Zhang Ao did it just based on this, now that Zhang Ao is dead, there is no proof of death, and I am afraid that this matter can only become a headless public case.
So, Luo Youbi said to Ma Fangyu: "Since you have admitted that you are wrong, then prepare to receive the punishment." ”
Hearing this, Ma Fangyu felt aggrieved in her heart, this Luo Youbi deliberately put this matter to rest, and put all the responsibility on herself. It seems that she does have a deep prejudice against herself, and I am afraid it has something to do with Feng Qingluan.
Of course, Ma Fangyu had already prepared, how could he just sit back and wait to die. His gaze moved to Wu Mei's body, and the corners of his mouth curved a faint arc.
"Senior Sister Wu, I'm about to be punished, and it's a felony, don't you tell me something?"
Ma Fangyu's words instantly made Wu Mei the focus of the audience, and she was also the strangest person who behaved after the incident.
Wu Mei faced everyone's gaze, so she had to pretend to be calm and remain silent.
"Alas, I originally thought that our relationship was very good, but now it seems that you have a better relationship with Zhang Ao!" Ma Fangyu sighed first, and then added.
As soon as these words came out, everyone began to discuss, this Wu Mei's behavior is really incomprehensible, and there are many smart people among them, who faintly feel that Wu Mei is also related to the explosion of the medicine furnace.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable to her, Wu Mei simply plucked up her courage and turned against the army, saying: "Uncle Ma, you slander me like this, is there any evidence? I just remembered that Uncle Zhang had helped me, so I felt sad about his death." ”
Seeing this, Ma Fangyu had to admire Wu Mei's acting skills, it seemed that she still underestimated her too much.
However, the more she did this, the more Ma Fangyu felt that it was right to do so. Next, Ma Fangyu stretched out his right hand, and suddenly with a suck of luck, a folded strip of cloth flew out of Wu Mei's chest and easily fell into Ma Fangyu's hand.
Ma Fangyu shook the strip of cloth twice in front of Wu Mei, an evil smile appeared on his face, and said, "With this in hand, don't you tell the truth?"
Wu Mei was shocked when she saw that the strip of cloth that Zhang Ao gave her fell into the hands of the other party, she wanted to grab it back, but thinking of her weak cultivation, she had to give up.
She tried her best to calm herself, and chose to take the initiative before Ma Fangyu exposed her.
So, she showed an aggrieved expression, knelt down in front of Luo Youbi, and said, "Peak Master, Uncle Ma did this in front of the public, and the disciple has no face to live anymore." After that, he pretended to be crying.
At this time, Luo Youbi's expression was already obviously displeased, even if Wu Mei didn't say anything about her actions towards Ma Fangyu
It's also quite disgusting.
Ma Fangyu was dumbfounded, this Wu Mei was definitely the most difficult woman she had ever seen, fortunately she had already taken precautions. It seems that in the case of tearing her face, she has not hesitated to offend herself.
Just when Luo Youbi was about to get angry, Ma Fangyu put the strip of cloth with both hands, bowed down and said, "Uncle Luo, it's not too late for you to make a decision after reading the content on this strip of cloth." ”
In front of the public, Luo Youbi was not overly biased, so she had to snort and take the strip of cloth to look. As Ma Fangyu expected, when he learned the content of the cloth, Luo Youbi's face was cloudy.
Seeing this, Wu Mei cried even more.
In the end, Luo Youbi threw the strip of cloth on Wu Mei's body and said angrily: "What else do you have to say about this matter?"
Wu Mei sobbed for a while, and then replied, "As you can see, Peak Master, in fact, I have long had a secret affection for Uncle Zhang, which can also explain why I am heartbroken about his death." I deliberately concealed it before, but I was embarrassed to see people because of my own careful thinking, but now I am forced to make it public, and the disciple really wants to find a hole to get into. After saying that, he began to sob again.
"As mentioned above, after you help him do something, he will promise to marry you, what is the big deal that he can do this?" Luo Youbi continued to ask.
After hearing this, Wu Mei fell into a short silence, and the others were all surprised. It is almost an open secret that Zhang Ao likes Cao Qianjiao, and he can exchange one thing for his love, this matter must not be simple.
Later, Wu Mei replied with a serious face: "It's even more embarrassing to say this, here's the thing." Uncle Zhang and Uncle Ma have always been at odds, but now when he saw Uncle Ma coming to the Moon God Palace, he felt that the opportunity had come, so he used this cloth in exchange for me to seduce Uncle Ma and stink his reputation, which can be regarded as revenge. For the love in his heart, the disciple was carried away for a while, so he would do such an immoral thing, and he hoped that the peak master would forgive his sins. With that, Wu Mei began to bow her head and beg for mercy.
I have to say that Wu Mei's words are almost seamless, and she explains the abnormal behavior before and after clearly, and Ma Fangyu has to admire her adaptability.
In fact, Ma Fangyu's heart was extremely shocked, if he didn't know the truth, I am afraid that he would inevitably believe her words. It seems that to deal with her, it is not possible to have enough real evidence.
And almost all the onlookers chose to believe it, because they couldn't find a flaw in her words, and even because they were also women, they felt a little pity for her suffering.
Luo Youbi's expression slowed slightly, and it seemed that she was more satisfied with Wu Mei's explanation, her eyes fell on Ma Fangyu's body again, and she said lightly: "Ma Fangyu, why do you know about the cloth?"
Ma Fangyu didn't expect this fire to burn on his body instead, but he was afraid that he couldn't explain it clearly, and he would inevitably be questioned.
"Uncle Luo, how could I know about this strip of cloth? I only once saw her suspiciously hiding this strip of cloth in her arms, so I boldly took it out to see if I could find some clues. Ma Fangyu's understatement answer made everyone half-convinced, but they couldn't find evidence to refute his words.
"If you conclude that I have a problem just based on this, and you still do such things to me, the disciple is not convinced, please ask the peak master to make the decision for me!" Wu Mei began to launch a counterattack, feeling unforgiving.
Seeing this, a sneer appeared on Ma Fangyu's face, and he secretly said in his heart: "It's really not the heart of the Yellow River that doesn't die, don't think that I can't do anything about you." ”
