Chapter 393: Three Points into the Wood (2)
At this moment, Liu Xunyi finally woke up completely. It turns out that everything that happened tonight was a well-arranged play.
Luo Tianjin's righteousness Ling Ran, Xie Xuan's sigh, Ling Xiaoxiao's woman's benevolence, Qingfeng's outspokenness, Yin Baimei's songly welcome, and Deng Changchuan's halfway kill...... Everything is a big drama full of scheming.
What's even more terrifying is that everyone here is a person in the play. Everyone's heart is like a mirror, but everyone pretends to be ignorant. See through, guess but not break. From beginning to end, no one dared to pierce this layer of window paper.
Even Zhong Limu and Mrs. Zhuang are also people in the play, they not only watch the play, but also stand up and cooperate with Luo Tianjin when necessary.
This scene was not only played to Zhong Limu and Mrs. Zhuang, but also to everyone present, even Luo Tianjin himself.
The essence of a big drama like a dream bubble is to hide one's ears and steal the bell, deceive oneself and others, but it is very useful to everyone.
Tonight, a bitter love scene full of ritual seems to be hypocritical and ridiculous, but it is actually extremely clever.
It gives everyone a well-deserved step and a chance to do chivalrous deeds.
In the end, the Kongtong faction can "take revenge", Luo Tianjin can "kill relatives with righteousness", Luo Hongxuan can "have a clear conscience", Ling Xiaoxiao can "get her wish", and Qingfeng can be "far-sighted......
The rest of you can "uphold justice" in a high-sounding manner, and at the same time keep your backers alive and gain fame and fortune.
In the whole process, most of the people became the "handsome" who were saved, and only two people became abandoned "pawns". One is Zhongli Wanying, who has been wronged, and the other is the "culprit" who was captured by Deng Changchuan.
Of course, Zhongli Wanying and the "culprit" have lost different things. The former is innocence, the latter is life. In contrast, Zhongli Wanying, who has the backing of the Kongtong faction, is luckier than the "culprit" who came out of nowhere.
At least, her life is still alive.
"Who are you?" Zhong Limu asked, staring at the trembling culprit, "What happened last night?"
"My name is Mi Zhong, and I am a disciple of King Xian's Mansion Jingmen. The thin man endured the fear in his heart, and pretended to be cruel, "Last night, it was I who sent the drunk and unconscious Luo Hongxuan into Zhongli Wanying's room and poured him a whole bottle of Hehuan San. It was I who poured smoke into your room and kept you awake. ”
"Hiss!" As soon as these words came out, there was an exclamation in the hall.
"Bold Mi Zhong!" Xie Xuan shouted angrily, "Why are you doing this?"
"Because I want to take revenge on you!" Mi Zhong shouted with hideous features and bared teeth, "I have worked hard in the mansion for decades, and I have worked hard without merit...... But what did you do to me? No matter if I don't promote it, even the annual reward is the least in the Jingmen, and even the new half-sized children take more than me. I work so hard all year round that I can't even drink two sips of wine, and I am asked to do all the dirty work and tiring work, why can't I accept it! I don't accept it!"
"Smack!"
Before the words fell, Xu Heng suddenly raised his hand and gave Mi Zhong a hard slap.
"Haha......" Mi Zhong stared at his scarlet eyes and laughed madly, "Luo Hongxuan is just a good fate, and he has a pair of powerful fathers and mothers." My Mi Zhong has been from a poor family since I was a child, I can't eat enough and don't have warm clothes, and I tried my best to enter the Xianwang Mansion, just to get ahead. But decades have passed, and I am still as depressed as before, why? God is unfair, I want to take revenge on everyone in your Luo family, so that you will not die well...... Luo Tianjin, don't you call yourself the 'Northern Virtuous King'? Your son also claims to be a 'righteous gentleman', and now he has done something unscrupulous, see how long your name as a virtuous king can last? I will let your father and son be ruined, and your family will be ruined, haha......"
"You're looking for death!"
Lin Fang was furious, rushed forward with an arrow, and smashed his fist at Mi Zhong like a raging storm, breaking his skin and flesh and breaking bones and tendons.
Regarding Mi Zhong's "confession", Liu Xunyi, who has served in Tianji Pavilion for many years, can tell the truth at a glance.
Mi Zhong seems to be crazy and has no scruples, but in fact, he is extremely frightened. It's just that he forcibly covers up his inner cowardice with fierce words and curses.
Thinking of this, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but feel a little compassion for Mi Zhong, the "ghost for the dead".
Zhong Limu and Mrs. Zhuang stared at the arrogant and arrogant Mi Zhong without saying a word, and the two of them had complicated expressions and seemed to have a guess.
"What nonsense!" Luo Tianjin said coldly, "With just one of your little Jingmen disciples, would you have such a big guts? ”
Luo Tianjin's words expressed the doubts that lingered in everyone's hearts, and at the same time made Zhong Limu and Mrs. Zhuang's faces change slightly.
"Say!" Luo Tianjin said in a deep voice, "Is someone spending money to buy you and let you take the blame for Luo Hongxuan?"
"This ......"
Finding someone to replace the dead ghost has long been expected. What people never expected was that Luo Tianjin would dismantle his own stage by himself.
I have to say that Luo Tianjin's digging into the bottom of the matter, while expressing the hearts of others who want to say but dare not say it, also won a good impression for himself.
"Brother Jin, do you have to force Xuan'er to death before you give up?" Ling Xiaoxiao said angrily, "Do you have to put Xuan'er to death before you are willing?" Now that the truth is revealed, Mi Zhong has confessed, why do you still hold on to your son? Could it be that in your heart, Luo Hongxuan was born to be a cowardly thief and villain?"
"Madam, there must be no hesitation in today's affairs, and we must find out the truth. Luo Tianjin said with a straight face, "Who is Mi Zhong? Not to mention whether he has the guts to do so? Just to say that this trick to kill people with a knife is definitely not something that he can come up with." If he has such a scheming, why would he be penniless for decades?"
"You ......"
"Lord Luofu is right. Mrs. Zhuang echoed coldly, turned her scrutinizing gaze to Mi Zhong, and asked, "Even if you have a grudge against the Xianwang Mansion, why did you pull my daughter into the water? She has never offended you!"
"I don't know Zhongli Wanying, and I have no grievances or hatreds. Mi Zhong spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm and said breathlessly, "It's just that she was unlucky, but she came to the Xianwang Mansion at this time? Her identity, coupled with her appearance, is the best choice for me to take revenge on the Luo family." ”
"Beasts are not as good as things, see if I don't kill you......"
"Wait a minute!"
Luo Tianjin shouted back from the furious Lin Fang, stepped forward quickly, picked up the dying Mi Zhong from the ground with his left hand, and said suspiciously: "Are you lying? Or is someone directing you behind your back?"
"No one instructed me, and I didn't lie......! Ahh
Before the words fell, Luo Tianjin's right hand suddenly grabbed one of Mi Zhong's fingers, and pinched it hard without saying anything, crushing his finger bones.
In an instant, the red blood seeped into a ball of flesh and skin, overflowing Luo Tianjin's palm.
"I want to hear the truth!" Luo Tianjin asked again in a cold tone.
"If you kind, kill me......"
"Click!"
"Ahh
This time, Luo Tianjin directly grabbed Mi Zhong's wrist, pinched his wrist bone with his five fingers, and his blood-drenched right hand hung on his wrist like a broken willow, which was shocking and unbearable.
"Tell the truth!"
"Luo Tianjin, kill me!"
Suddenly, Luo Tianjin exerted his internal strength, and instantly shook Mi Zhong's entire right arm into a mass of broken bones and rotten flesh, and he died of pain. After screaming, he didn't even have the strength to wail.
"Don't say anything more, change your hand......"
"Don't! I say, I say!" Without waiting for Luo Tianjin's threat, Mi Zhong hurriedly agreed, "Someone did buy me and let me do this......
"Who?"
"Peach Blossom Sword Island ......"
"Shhh
Mi Zhong's words made the people present gasp suddenly.
Luo Tianjin's eyes moved, and he asked meaningfully, "You must be Peach Blossom Sword Island?"
"I dare not lie......," Mi Zhong shuddered, "and they gave me a thousand taels of gold to let me do this." I wanted to leave the Xianwang Mansion after the deed was completed and go to the south with the gold to live happily, but unexpectedly...... Before he escaped from the Luoyang territory, he was captured by you. At this point, Mi Zhong's expression became a little depressed.
Hearing this, Liu Xunyi, who had always believed that Mi Zhong was a substitute for the dead ghost, couldn't help but hesitate a little, and said secretly: "Could it be that I guessed wrong?"
In fact, there are not a few people who have the same idea as Liu Xunyi, and even Zhong Limu and Mrs. Zhuang were shocked and speechless for a long time by Mi Zhong's "confession".
Peach Blossom Sword Island and Xian Wang's Mansion formed a bond more than ten years ago, and everyone in the rivers and lakes knows about it. Therefore, when Mi Zhong said Peach Blossom Sword Island, everyone's hearts couldn't help but start to waver.
However, this is exactly what Luo Tianjin wants to see.
"If you don't believe me, you can go to my ancestral house and have a look......," Mi Zhong said bitterly, "Under the south wall of the firewood house, there is a loose brick, and the thousand taels of gold that Peach Blossom Sword Island gave me are hidden in it......"
"This ......"
Mi Zhong's words instantly broke through the last layer of concern in everyone's hearts.
"You bastard, give my daughter innocence!"
At this moment, Mrs. Zhuang could no longer suppress the grief and indignation in her heart, and suddenly drew her sword and stabbed at Mi Zhong.
Seeing this, Luo Tianjin and Xie Xuan glanced at each other, and a hint of relief flashed quietly.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Tianjin's right hand suddenly touched Mi Zhong's heart, and then he dodged and retreated sharply, completely exposing the unconscious Mi Zhong to the angry Madam Zhuang's sword.
"Poof!"
With a soft sound, the blade of the sword entered the body, white in and red out, and blood spattered seven steps.
Lady Zhuang's sword instantly pierced Mi Zhong's chest, killing him instantly.
For a while, the hall was silent, as silent as death. Everyone looked solemnly at Mrs. Zhuang, who was in tears, and Mi Zhong, who was bleeding like a blood and returning to the west.
At this moment, Mrs. Zhuang's hand was tightly gripping the sword, and the blade of the sword was deeply inserted into Mi Zhong's chest. Even though Mi Zhong was dead, Mrs. Zhuang was still angry, and the sound of rapid breathing and violent heartbeat kept echoing in her mind.
"Senior Sister ......"
Zhong Limu stepped forward slowly, slowly removing Madam Zhuang's hand from the hilt of the sword. As Mi Zhong's body fell to the ground with a bang, Mrs. Zhuang collapsed in Zhong Limu's arms like a deflated ball.
"Come on, drag the corpse of this beast out, chop it up and feed it to the dogs!" Lin Fang shouted, and four disciples quickly poured in outside the hall, working together to carry Mi Zhong's body out.
"Everyone!"
After a moment of silence, Qingfeng suddenly got up and said loudly: "Now that the truth has been revealed and the initiator is dead, I hope everyone can testify for the Xianwang Mansion and the Kongtong faction together." Let the rumors stop at the wise, so that my grandson and Miss Zhongli can stay away from the pain of gossip. ”
"Peach Blossom Sword Island is too deceitful, this matter must not be done lightly!" Yin Baimei said angrily, "They once swore not to step into the Central Plains for half a step, but now they have gone back on their word, and even went to the hinterland of the Central Plains to make trouble, it is simply hateful!"
"That's good!" Xie Xuan nodded and said, "Peach Blossom Sword Island is making a comeback, you must be careful in the future, so as not to fall into the trap again"
"It's not too late to discuss this matter another day. Qingfeng interrupted, "Come to think of it, this is also a good relationship between my grandson and Miss Zhongli, and I intend to match the Xian Wangfu and the Kongtong faction to make a happy family." As the so-called fate meets, self-defeating is a bad thing, but it is a good story to achieve a good marriage by mistake. Hehe......"
"That's good!" Xie Xuan responded, "There is a saying that 'it is better to choose a day than to hit the day', it is better to take this opportunity to witness for Luo Gongzi and Miss Zhongli together, and wish him and the two of them to tie the knot as soon as possible, Qin Se and Ming." How?"
"Okay!" Seeing Qingfeng and Xie Xuan taking the lead, there was immediately a chorus in the hall.
At this moment, the haze that lingered in everyone's hearts gradually dissipated, and there was a great sense of comfort and pleasure in clearing the clouds and seeing the blue sky.
Under the enthusiastic instigation of gossip, Zhong Limu's face couldn't help but show a wry smile of compromise.
Mrs. Zhuang, who gradually sobered up from her trance, was difficult to be stubborn in the face of hospitality, and finally reluctantly acquiesced to the marriage.
"After the rain, the sky is clear, or the pole is coming. Very good!" Xie Xuan was full of enthusiasm and interest, and commanded in a loud voice, "Come on, hurry up and prepare a banquet, we will have a good celebration tonight!"
"Yes......"
"Master, Master, big ...... Big things are wrong!"
Before everyone could answer, a cry of terror suddenly came from outside the hall. Immediately afterwards, Zhou Mu, a disciple of the Kongtong faction, looked panicked and crawled into the hall.
Seeing this, everyone was stunned. Zhong Limu's heart sank, and he hurriedly said, "What's the matter?"
"Master, Master...... Miss She ...... She ......"
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhuang's heart suddenly tightened, and her voice trembled and urged, "Ying'er, what's wrong with her?"
"Miss, she...... The cantilever committed suicide!"
......
