Section 17: The Truth
The head of the Nanrong family stood outside the quarantine area, and a corpse lay in front of it. The corpse was dressed in the clothes of the Nanrong family and was a servant of the Nanrong family. Next to the servant is the ornament of Homulo. Nothing bad at all, just as much as it gets.
It seems that the priest does not need to rummage through the No. 1 quarantine area. All the lost trinkets were removed from the quarantine zone and appeared right in front of him.
Si Dao walked to the door of the quarantine area and looked at the head of the Nanrong family with an unkind face.
When the head of the Nanrong family saw Si Dao, he knelt down in shame and pleaded guilty: "Shangxian, the Nanrong family is sorry for you, there is such an evil servant. Just now, the butler found that such an evil servant was packing up his things and preparing to escape. If something is wrong, the housekeeper will inquire about one or two. Unexpectedly, the damned slave actually hid immortals. After I learned about this, I immediately thought of Fairy He, so I brought him here to ask for sin. ”
"Do you mean that all the blame is the work of your servants?" said the priest sarcastically.
He didn't believe the words of the head of the Nanrong family.
"That's it. It's a pity that the evil servant saw that the matter was revealed and stubbornly resisted. In the melee, the evil servant deserved his sin and died unexpectedly. This matter is known to the entire Nam Rong Mansion. The head of the Nanrong family replied.
"However, just now the old Chinese medicine doctor said that you are the mastermind behind the scenes, the head of the Nanrong family. You don't want to say that everything has nothing to do with you, it's all because the evil servant deliberately borrowed your name to unite with the old Chinese medicine doctor. There is another thing, when the old Chinese medicine doctor told the truth, he was attacked by a hidden arrow and was almost killed. If the evil servant is the black hand behind it, then who is the one who shoots the dark arrow?"
Si Dao stared straight at the head of the Nanrong family, as if he believed that the head of the Nanrong family was the ultimate black hand who hurt He Miaoluo.
"Shangxian, what do you mean, could it be that you are suspicious of me?" asked the head of the Nanrong family in surprise. He looked innocent and looked very incredible: "I don't know how Ye Qingye Old Chinese Medicine Doctor could become a villain who harmed Fairy He." I don't understand why Ye Lao TCM wants to slander me. Is there a misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding? You put all the blame on a scapegoat. You think I'm going to believe it?"
After speaking, Si Dao broke out again with anger in his heart. Si Dao will not tolerate anyone who tries to harm Homulo. He directly kicked the corpse on the ground into the air, then grabbed the throat of the head of the Nanrong family and lifted it up with one hand.
After the scene just now, no one doubted that Si Dao would directly kill the head of the Nanrong family.
The head of the Nanrong family was choked by the neck, unable to breathe at all, and looked very painful. He struggled: "Shang~ Shangxian, there must be ~ a misunderstanding in this." ”
At this time, the head of the Nanrong family was in danger of his life. More than a dozen servants of Nanrong took out their bows and crossbows one after another and faced Si Dao.
"No~ Xu shot at the immortals, let go~ let go!" The head of the Nanrong family struggled to give an order.
More than a dozen servants of the Nanrong family obeyed the orders of the Nanrong family master and put down their bows and crossbows one after another. They were sweating. At close range, the moment they lifted their bows and crossbows to face Si Dao, an indescribable cold enveloped their hearts.
Normally, more than a dozen bows and crossbows are facing the priest. Si Dao is not able to fly at all. However, more than a dozen servants of Nanrong had an illusion. It seems that the priest is the one who makes the threat. It was as if they were the ones who were being targeted by the crossbow. It's like, in the next second, they're all going to die. A shadow of death enveloped them, and they did not dare to move.
The mayor of the town, Sima Nanyou, has been standing on the side. Mayor Sima Nanyou didn't expect the scene in front of him to happen at all. He spoke for the head of the Nanrong family: "Shangxian, the Nanrong family has always paid a lot for the people. I think there must be a misunderstanding in this. ”
Seeing that her father couldn't breathe, Nan Rong Xue'er ran over desperately to grab Si Dao's hand and pleaded: "Uncle, if my father really wants to hurt Sister He, then why do you want to get everything back now? Moreover, in terms of time, before Ye Lao Chinese Medicine was found out, my father had already brought the evil servant to justice. No matter how you calculate it, it doesn't make sense. No matter how you look at it, a father should be an innocent person. ”
Nanrong Xue'er's words immediately aroused everyone's approval.
However, Si Dao was unmoved. "He's a shrewd businessman, and of course he's prepared for the worst," he explained. He had already prepared the current drama. From the moment I came to Jianshui Town, he had already calculated the current situation. Therefore, he killed the scapegoat in advance so that everyone felt that he was innocent. If he succeeds, he will lose only one slave. If, as is the case now, in the event of a failure to extinguish the mouth, he will immediately appear. ”
"According to the uncle's meaning, if the mouth is successful, how can the death of the slave be explained?"
"Just find a reason. Anyway, at that time, no one would have cared about it. Si Dao replied nonchalantly.
"This ...... It's just your side of the story. You simply don't have enough evidence. Nanrong Xue'er said anxiously.
She was afraid that Si Dao would directly attack the head of the Nanrong family. Just now, Si Dao's methods of dealing with Old Doctor Ye made everyone fearful.
"Si Dao, you let go first. You calm down first. Fu Qianwen stepped forward and grabbed Si Dao's hand.
"Calm down, if I come one day later, Murlo will die. How do you calm me down?"
"But you're only going to make things worse. ”
As Fu Qianwen said, the aura that Si Dao is bursting out now is too fierce. Not to mention mortals, immortal cultivators will be afraid of Si Dao.
Man always sympathizes with the weak. Now, Si Dao does not have sufficient evidence to prove that the head of the Nanrong family is behind the scenes. On the contrary, the head of the Nanrong family should be commended for catching the murderer who absconded in fear of crime.
In the eyes of most people, what Nan Rong Xueer said is extremely true. If the head of the Nanrong family is really the mastermind behind the scenes, how can he kill the evil servant in advance and return the jewelry owner animal to its original owner?
Could it be that the head of the Nanrong family expected in advance that he would be identified as a murderer? Si Dao's remarks have some truth, but they are really difficult to accept.
Although Fu Qianwen was on the side of Si Dao, it was difficult to believe Si Dao's words. Because, the same situation once happened to Xia Yunhua. Si Dao has always insisted that Xia Yunhua is the first of the Black Moon. From the current point of view, Xia Yunhua has nothing to do with Black Moon.
More and more unsuspecting people came around. They saw Si Dao's frightening eyes, and saw Si Dao indiscriminately choking the throat of the head of the Nanrong family. In this way, even if what the priest does is righteous, it will be misunderstood by others.
Si Dao looked around, feeling the hostility of the people around him.
"Let him go first, the truth is not afraid of investigation and refutation. Fu Qianwen spoke again.
"Okay~" Si Dao let go of the head of the Nanrong family. He pointed the question to the breakthrough: "Sun Xiu, we just need to find Sun Xiu." He must be able to use the clues. ”
According to the dead Ye Qing, the old Chinese medicine doctor, Sun Xiu was imprisoned in Nanrong Mansion.
Then, in order to avoid suspicion, the mayor of the town, Sima Nanyou, personally led a team to thoroughly investigate Nanrong Mansion. However, the results of the search have not yet been forthcoming.
An onlooker innkeeper suddenly stepped forward. The boss pointed to the dead Nanrong evil servant: "This person booked a room yesterday." ”
It stands to reason that nowadays everyone stays in their own homes, and there is no need to book a room in an inn. In this way, where could everyone not have imagined that Sun Xiu would probably be locked up in the inn room.
Sure enough, in the inn room, everyone found Sun Xiu who was unconscious. In this way, Sima Nanyou did not have to continue to search Nanrong Mansion.
All the truth was revealed, and the head of the Nanrong family was indeed framed by Ye Lao Chinese Medicine. Everyone let out a long sigh of relief.
"Now, the Immortals should be able to trust me. The head of the Nanrong family said sincerely.
However, Si Dao did not give up his doubts: "Since you have made all the preparations in advance, you will naturally transfer Sun Xiu out of Nanrong Mansion in advance." ”
Si Dao's remarks are naturally not unreasonable. But to outsiders, what Si Dao said was too far-fetched.
"The Immortals decided that I was behind the scenes, and made all kinds of speculations based on this. I really don't know how to put it into words. The head of the Nanrong family was full of grievances and helplessness.
Then, the head of the Nanrong family pointed to Sun Xiu, who was unconscious, and continued: "Whether I am behind the scenes or not, we wake up Sun Xiu and find out as soon as we ask." ”
Sun Xiu was immediately woken up by everyone. After he woke up, he was shocked and nervous, and shouted for the first time: "Fairy He is in danger, go and save Fairy He." Ye Qingye's old puppet wants to harm Fairy He. ”
The head of the Nanrong family held Sun Xiu's hand soothingly, and said kindly: "Sun Xiu!"
When Sun Xiu saw the head of the Nanrong family, he saluted in awe, and then hurriedly continued: "Good family master. Hurry up and inform Mayor Sima and inform the immortal ...... of the Houshan Academy."
Sun Xiu did not continue. Because, he found Sima Nanyou standing in front of him. He found that Si Dao and Fu Qianwen were also standing in front of him. Moreover, Nanrong Xue'er, who he wanted to see the most, stood in front of him.
"Sun Xiu, don't worry, we have subdued Ye Qing. Can you tell us who is behind Ye Qing's murder?" Nanrong Xue'er asked Sun Xiu with an anxious expression.
When Sun Xiu heard Nanrong Xue'er's question, he didn't react for a while: "The murderer behind the scenes?" Could it be that there is someone behind Ye Qing?"
"You tell me what happened and don't miss any details. Nanrong Xue'er continued to ask.
"On that day, I wanted to ask Fairy He when the epidemic would end......"
Although Sun Xiu didn't know why, he told everything that happened at that time. From beginning to end, the head of the Nanrong family was not mentioned at all.
After that, Sun Xiu identified that the corpse brought by the head of the Nanrong family was the strong man who had stunned him before. Not only that, Sun Xiu also pointed out the existence of another strong man's accomplice. According to Sun Xiu's description, the other strong man was also a servant of Nanrong Mansion. Moreover, the other strong man had disappeared yesterday and was nowhere to be seen. Perhaps, because of the issue of sharing the spoils, the two evil servants clashed. Eventually, one of them was killed. This would explain why all the ornaments are on one evil servant.
At this point, Si Dao has no other actual evidence to identify the head of the Nanrong family.
Just when everyone thought that everything was fine, Si Dao did not give up.
"Give me the Manluo flowers. It is not a mortal being. Once the spiritual power of heaven and earth is restored, and there is no strong person around to suppress it, mortals will be sucked dry in an instant. ”
All accessories are back though. However, the Wannian Manluo flower is still in the hands of the head of the Nanrong family. The Manluo flower is a token given by Si Dao to He Miluo. He Miluo would not have handed over the Manluo flower at all unless he had to do it. In the case of the heaven and earth being frozen, ordinary immortal things are no different from mortal things, only the Manluo flower still exudes the will of life, which can make mortals feel the wonderful vitality.
"This?" the head of the Nanrong family looked embarrassed.
"The Nanrong family has already obtained the qualification of an immortal cultivator, isn't it enough?" Si Dao's eyes showed a fierce light.
At this time, Sima Nanyou stood up again to speak for the head of the Nanrong family: "Shangxian, you don't know something. The Manluo flower in your mouth is the deposit promised by Fairy He. ”
"Deposit, what qualifications does a mortal have to take the most precious treasure in the world?" Si Dao retorted angrily.
Having said that, in the eyes of all, the behavior of the priest is unfair and contrary to the fundamentals of business.
The head of the Nanrong family and Si Dao stood staring at each other, obviously unwilling to return the Manluo flower.
Seeing this, Si Dao did not continue to ask for it. He smiled sarcastically, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, greed only leads to destruction. ”
As the words fell, he turned around and returned to Quarantine One.
That's all for now. Under the command of Sima Nanyou, all the onlookers dispersed. Quarantine Zone 1 is also back to normal.
What happened today began to spread in Jianshui Town. It's just that the versions are completely different one after the other. No one cares what really happens. People only believe the stories that sound closest to the truth.
