Chapter Ninety-Nine: Conspiracy (4)
Ji Nuan: "Senior Brother Zhu, let me ask you, did you go to Zhangzhou before you arrived in Yueyang, and you subdued the Nightmare?"
"Nonsense, I have been to Zhangzhou, who doesn't know, Zhangzhou is the only place to go to Yueyang, what's wrong with us going? As for the nightmare, I have never seen it, how can I say that I will subdue, besides, if I had seen it, he would have died a long time ago, and how could he have the opportunity to go to Yueyang to cause trouble. But if you don't believe, ask them, and they will all testify. ”
Zhu Changqin pointed to Li Qingyuan and a few Zhufeng disciples who went out to practice, and he was a little disdainful in his heart, thinking that she had any ability, and he and Li Qingyuan had already planned it. As soon as this remark came out, not only cleared the suspicion, but also blamed Song Wangchen for letting the nightmare escape, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Several people nodded immediately, and Li Qingyuan replied: "Senior brother is right, we really haven't seen a nightmare, last time in Yueyang, you said that you took it to Zhishui Stream, but it turned out that you haven't seen the shadow of a nightmare, how can someone who can escape from Senior Brother Song be easily subdued by us?"
"That's right, it's Ji Nuan who is abrupt and asks such a ridiculous question, who doesn't know that Senior Brothers are no better than Forget Chen, how can they catch the nightmare?"
Ji Nuan had a mockery on his face, and Zhu Changqin was angry, but because of the large number of people at this time, he still suppressed his anger.
Tang Yanyan had been nervous, but at this time he smiled unkindly, he raised his hand and said sarcastically: "I also know this." ”
As soon as he said this, someone in the crowd immediately burst out laughing, and there were one or two Zhufeng disciples among them.
Zhu Yuanzhi said angrily: "What's so funny, now we are talking about business, Ji Nuan, if you just want to play lip service, then I don't think there is any need to listen to it anymore." ”
"Zhi Zhuzun is right, Ji Nuan is just telling the truth, and has nothing else to do. ”
"Senior Brother Zhu, can you tell me that when we left Yueyang, we said that we were going to return to Dusk Creek, and you said that you would continue to practice, but now why did you suddenly appear on this hall, and how did you know that we took in Crescent Moon and that she was a demon?"
Ji Nuan's words are beady, and there is a state of pressing step by step. The crowd immediately looked at Zhu Changqin suspiciously, hoping that he would have a reasonable explanation.
Zhu Changqin was speechless for a while, he had not discussed this question with Li Qingyuan before, how should he answer it? Saying that they had arranged eyeliner, didn't that prove that he had bad intentions? No one believed that it was a coincidence! No, he also had a witness, Jiang Yu.
"Senior Sister Ji is right, I am indeed going to go through the training again, but then I happened to hear Jiang Yu say that Senior Sister Ji and Senior Brother Song are going back to Duxi to do a happy event, and I think that such a festive thing must come back to ask for a cup of happy wine to drink. It's just that I didn't expect that when I passed through Zhangzhou, I saw Jiang Yu again, and he complained to me about Senior Brother Song taking the crescent moon, and I only knew. ”
"Then dare to ask Senior Brother, since you already knew that we had taken in the Crescent Moon, why didn't you stop it, is it just to join us in front of the three Venerables at this moment?"
"I... , you also said, I am far worse than Song Wangchen, how can I stop him. ”
Zhu Changqin was unwilling, but it didn't matter if Song Jue could be abolished and expelled from Duxi, and suffer a loss once.
"Dare to ask Senior Brother, when did you meet Senior Brother Jiang in Zhangzhou?"
"It's been a few days, how can I remember, you said so much, just to frame me, then as long as you show evidence, I will plead guilty, otherwise, I have no reason to continue to answer your questions. ”
Zhu Changqin knew that she had no evidence, and wanted to talk about the white wolf, but he was not so stupid.
Zhu Yuanzhi said: "Okay, Ji Nuan, the facts are in front of you, what else do you have to say?"
"Zhizhuzun, let me ask Senior Brother Jiang one last question, if he is sure, I will accept the punishment. ”
Ji Nuan walked up to Jiang Yu again and asked, "Senior Brother Jiang, have you really told Senior Brother Zhu that I am going to marry Wangchen, I remember that I didn't tell you about it, and whether you really complained to him about the crescent moon." ”
Jiang Yu glanced at Zhu Changqin, who pointed to his Qiankun bag and signaled him to refine the demon pill.
Jiang Yu immediately knelt on the ground, and replied in a trembling voice: "Please three masters Mingjian, Jiang Yu didn't say those words, but I did see Senior Brother Zhu in Zhangzhou, and heard a lot of words that should not be heard, and finally was forcibly stuffed into a demon pill by Senior Brother Zhu, so as to coerce me to help him perjury and frame Senior Brother Song and Miss Ji." ”
Jiang Yu's sudden remarks stunned everyone, and everyone looked at Zhu Changqin suspiciously.
And he was even more panicked, trembling all over, how could Jiang Yu be uncontrollable, he immediately glared at Li Qingyuan viciously. Li Qingyuan deliberately pinned his head to the side, ignoring his anger.
"Jiang Yu, what nonsense are you talking about, you said that I gave you a demon pill, why don't you have any demon qi on you? As a disciple of Zhufeng, you are messing around with Song Wangchen and them all day long, could it be that you and Ji Nuan calculated all this to me?"
Zhu Changqin turned to Zhu Yuanzhi again and said: "Master, when I was in Qinzhou, Ji Nuan fought with me for the snake demon, Jiang Yu and her have always been friends, they must have deliberately slandered me in front of Shizun, ask Shizun to learn from me!"
"Jiang Yu, you can't talk nonsense, do you know what will happen if you frame your fellow disciple?" Although Zhu Yuanzhi admired Jiang Yu, Zhu Changqin had been with him for more than ten years after all, and he naturally knew which was more important.
"Master, who doesn't know from the top and bottom of Duxi that I, Jiang Yu, am a retainer of the Tang family, no matter what identity I am now, it is my duty to protect the son of the Tang family. As for Miss Ji, she is the young lady of the Tang family selected by our family master, how could I hope that he would marry Senior Brother Song, let alone complain about the crescent moon in front of the senior brothers. As for the demonic energy, I also have to thank Senior Brother Li Qingyuan, although he is subject to the senior brothers, he has a great good nature, and at the critical moment, he protected my heart, so that I could hide the demon pill under my tongue and avoid being controlled by others. ”
Jiang Yu took out the demon pill of the wild phoenix and shook it in front of everyone: "This is the demon pill that Senior Brother Zhu forced me to take, this is the demon pill of the crescent moon's mother." ”
Zhu Changqin glared at Li Qingyuan angrily, and a bad premonition came, he was tricked, Jiang Yu and Li Qingyuan joined forces to frame him.
Sure enough, Li Qingyuan immediately knelt on the ground, wept bitterly and said: "The three masters, although Li Qingyuan is named a disciple of Zhufeng, he has always been subject to Zhu Changqin, in his eyes, he has never regarded me as a human being, and he has always punched and kicked me. He was short-tempered and cruel, and I had always dared not speak out, but seeing my fellow sufferers, I had to help, otherwise my conscience would be disturbed. ”
This sudden change made everyone look at Zhu Changqin, suspicious, angry, and watchful of everything.
Zhu Yuanzhi said angrily: "Changqin, what they said is the truth?"
Zhu Changqin fell to his knees again, trembling and said, "Master Mingjian, this is not true, I haven't done it. ”
Li Qingyuan continued: "Senior brother, now that your crime has been exposed, I don't have to be afraid anymore, I will make all the bad things you did public now, and I believe that the three deities will decide." ”
Cheng Jin coughed: "Okay, there must be a solution to today's matter, all your doubts can be expressed, and the deity will definitely make a fair ruling." ”
Zhu Changqin's face was like ashes, and he pointed at Li Qingyuan and said angrily: "Li Qingyuan, I treat you well! How can you unite with others to falsely accuse me." ”
After he finished speaking, he pulled Zhu Yuanzhi's sleeve and pleaded: "Master, they are all framing me, please master the decision for me, don't listen to their nonsense." ”
Zhu Yuanzhi looked unbearable, but even two of his own subordinates testified against Zhu Changqin, so he naturally had some doubts. turned around, flicked his long sleeves, and said fiercely: "Since you admit your innocence, then you don't have to be afraid of other people's slander, just let them say it." ”
Zhu Changqin collapsed to the ground when he heard this, knowing that he couldn't escape today, and he blamed himself for believing Li Qingyuan wrongly, and it was too late to regret it now.
Li Qingyuan seized the opportunity and immediately said: "The matter has to start from Qinzhou, when the Qinzhou monk disappeared mysteriously, and none of us in Duxi have found out the root of the matter. But on Chinese New Year's Eve, Senior Brother suddenly thought of a way to kill two birds with one stone, that is, to use Tang Yanyan as bait to lure the black hand behind the scenes out of the hole. He imitated the handwriting of Senior Sister Xiaorou and wrote a letter to Tang Yanyan, and successfully lured him to He Huan Bridge, and we followed the tracking powder on the envelope to find Tang Yanyan in the cave. Senior brother likes Xiaorou Senior Sister Quanduxi can see it, and Tang Yanyan sticks to his senior sister every day, he has long been jealous, so he naturally can't care about Tang Yanyan's life or death. But fortunately, Tang Yanyan finally picked up a life, and I also hid this matter for him because of the friendship between senior brothers for many years. ”
"Li Qingyuan, you are spewing blood, this idea is clearly what you came up with, but now you blame me, you have to die a good death. ”
Zhu Changqin angrily drew his sword and wanted to kill Li Qingyuan, but two disciples immediately dragged him down.
"Brute, how can you do such a thing?"
Zhu Yuanzhi turned around, his eyes full of anger and accusation. Not only him, but everyone else looked at him angrily.
"Master, it's not like this, it's really not my idea. ”
Who would believe what Zhu Changqin said? He was so happy that every time he went through the training, all the credit was his own, and who would know that Li Qingyuan was behind Li Qingyuan's advice?
Tang Yan said angrily: "It turned out to be you, I still regarded you as a life-saver at that time, and I was grateful to you, if you hadn't targeted Ji Nuan everywhere later, I would have been confused by you." ”
Cheng Xiaorou shook her head in disbelief, Tang Yanyan's disappearance was because of herself, but he never said it, she looked at Tang Yanyan and felt a little more guilty in her heart.
Everyone sighed for a while, but no one dared to speak loudly, Xia Lian secretly pinched a handful of sweat, and was very puzzled by Li Qingyuan's behavior, seeing that he could get rid of Ji Nuan, but at the critical moment, he hit a rake, and he didn't know what his purpose was.
Cheng Jin: "Qingyuan, don't be afraid, continue to speak." ”
Li Qingyuan seemed to be frightened by Zhu Changqin's behavior just now, and said in a trembling voice: "Later, later, when we passed through Zhangzhou, we did subdue the nightmare. But this time, Senior Brother didn't kill her directly, but sealed him, and after arriving in Yueyang, we happened to meet Senior Sister Ji. When he was in Qinzhou, Senior Brother knew that Senior Sister Ji was Senior Brother Song's sweetheart, so he released a nightmare and let him enter Senior Sister Ji's dream. Later, I don't know how he joined forces with Kano, and he actually created a dream of the Jade Emperor in Zhishuijian, presumably because their goals were all Senior Brother Song! After Senior Sister Ji was injured, he and Kano went off the rails again, and once again let the Nightmare enter Senior Sister Ji's dream, although in the end Senior Brother Song subdued the Nightmare, but Kano was too cunning, and the Nightmare was planted by them before entering Senior Sister Ji's dream, so that later the matter was revealed, and they directly killed the Nightmare to extinguish it. ”
"Li Qingyuan, I fought with you, I haven't done these things at all. No wonder I never saw you during that time, it was you, it must have been you who colluded with Kano, I didn't expect you to be so vicious, put everything on my head, you don't want to die. ”
Zhu Changqin desperately wanted to go over and kick him a few times, but his hands were tightly grasped, and he couldn't get close to him at all, he staggered to his knees, and said with tears in his eyes: "Master, Master, don't believe him, what he said is all false, how can I have that kind of scheming, I really didn't collude with Kano, ask Shizun to believe me." ”
He struggled and kowtowed again. But at this point, all his justifications seemed so pale and ridiculous. Once the crime of mutilating fellow disciples and colluding with foreigners is implemented, it is probably not enough to just abolish the cultivation!
