Chapter 46: The Murderer
Yue Liang's face was a little heavy and said: "It seems that this matter is not simple, if it is really as you say, I suspect that the girl in the clerk caused the trouble." ”
Suddenly, there were countless pots and fires around the valley where there was only a bonfire, and it turned out that there had already been a circle of iron pot shelves around the valley, which were lit up at this moment, and suddenly the entire valley was as bright as day.
In the middle of the valley, there is a big platform, on which four people sit, one is Zhu Shui of the Seven Killing Sect, one is Tiemu of the Taixuan Sect, one is Chen Sangui of the Sancai Sect, and the other is the Jiumei Shitai of the Jiuzhu Sect.
"The real masters of the Jiangbei Forty Scattered Sect are the masters of the five factions, and the three pole Dao people of the Wuji Sect have been re-elected as five leaders, and these four have a good prestige in the Forty Scattered Sects, and it seems that these four are going to compete for the leader tonight. Jiang Xiaobai pointed to the four people on the stage in turn and said the sect and name.
The four of them were sitting precariously, and the audience was also very noisy. At this time, Tie Mu, the master of the Taixuan Sect, glanced at the three of them, stood up first, and waved the ghost head sword in his hand: "It's all quiet." ”
Quickly, a small part of the crowd was silent, but the other part of the crowd stopped at the gaze of the other three sect masters. There is no doubt that these four people have each had their own sects to support themselves in a short period of time, the old dragon died, and the other four people were naturally unconvinced by each other, and the rest of the sects also had their own people who wanted to support, and they were divided into four factions on the field.
There was silence on the field, only the sound of the wind blowing through the valley and the sound of insects chirping.
Tiemu Dadao leaned on the stage and shouted in a loud voice: "Ten days ago, the old dragon head was assassinated in Yue'er Beach, and everyone was very sad, but our forty scattered factions cannot always be without dragon heads, so the main purpose of today is to elect a new dragon leader. ”
Chen Sangui, the master of Sancai Sect, slowly walked to Tiemu's side with his iron rod, glanced at Tiemu with disdain, and the iron rod stomped the platform, stirring up a burst of dust, and then said in his characteristic loud voice: " I Chen Sangui said that the old dragon head will not die for no reason, his martial arts are the best among us, and most of the people in the rivers and lakes who can let him be assassinated without defense are masters of major factions, but they have no reason to do anything to our forty scattered factions in the north, and the murderer must be found, I suspect that the murderer is among our people. ”
"Chen Sangui, you are short-sighted, the old dragon's martial arts is also in the late stage of breaking the void, there are many people who are more powerful than him in the rivers and lakes, I heard that the recent round table will want to take us forty scattered factions, the Jiangnan round table will be a lot of masters, maybe it is their hands, but there must be someone to help. After speaking, Zhu Shui, the master of the Seven Killing Sect, touched his right hand and iron claw, and then glanced thoughtfully at everyone on the stage.
Tiemu sneered at each other and said, "Zhu Shui, don't have something to say, come up with evidence." ”
Jiumei Shitai shook off the dust and stood up, dressed in a Taoist robe agitated in the wind, walked between the two, and scolded: "As soon as the old dragon head left, you were suspicious of each other, I said that the person who wants to be the leader of this forty scattered faction must catch the murderer, Zhu Shui, you let us hold this dragon head conference a few months in advance today, we must have caught the murderer, what are you still doing here?"
Chen Sangui helped: "Jiumei is right, you let us all come here, don't play any tricks." ”
Tie Mu snorted coldly and said, "Zhu Shui, don't use children's tricks to trick us, we all know that your Seven Killing Sect is shameless, and you, the master of the sect, are even better at this, so don't just catch someone to make up the number." ”
Zhu Shui smiled and said: "This doesn't bother Brother Tiemu, I have already caught the person, bring it up." ”
In the crowd in the rear, there were immediately two disciples of the Seven Killing Sect escorting out the two, and when they arrived on the stage, they saw that it was the little monk of Sizhu and a little girl, the girl had a strange face, a rag was stuffed on her mouth, and her head may have been held back for too long and the tips of her hair were already wet with sweat, which must be the document in Yueliang's mouth.
The little monk Sizhu did not have any restraints, and I thought that he did not know martial arts.
"Sure enough, it was the girl who wrote the paperwork, and Zhu Shui insisted that she killed the old dragon head Sanji Daoist, which was really despicable and shameless. "Yue Liang knew that the paper must have been used by Zhu Shui.
Li Ming reminded: "Judging from the tone of the four people, there must be someone who has taken refuge in the Round Table Society, and wants to fight for the leading position and control the Forty Scattered Factions in the North, the Round Table will definitely send a master to come, we have not found out, this master must be extremely terrifying, we still have to wait." ”
Jiang Xiaobai also nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, let's take a look first, there is really no way to make a move." ”
As long as you are not stupid, you can see that the two people who Zhu Shui brought up are just children, and the three people on the stage are naturally not stupid, Tie Mu laughed twice, and then pointed at Zhu Shui with a big knife and scolded: "You treat us as blind? These are just two children, how can they kill the old dragon head? Don't say that martial arts are not in a hurry for the old dragon head, and the experience of the rivers and lakes is even more impossible." ”
Chen Sangui and Jiumei Shitai are naturally not stupid, they just looked at Zhu Shui, they hoped that Zhu Shui could give an explanation, just betting on these two children and saying that they were the ones who killed the old dragon's head, don't say that they don't believe it, and the thousands of disciples in the audience won't believe it.
Zhu Shui didn't panic at all, and then reached out and took out the rag stuffed in Wen'er's mouth, and what came to him was a curse, and Wen'er was gagged by the rag because he was too noisy.
Not only three people, but even some of the disciples in the audience tried their best to prevent themselves from laughing, because this little girl didn't look at her young age, and she scolded people like the girl in the Fengyue Building.
Zhu Shui finally couldn't hold his face, and with a wave of his iron claws, he made a thin scratch on Wen'er's face, and Wen'er naturally felt a small cut on her face, although it was very small, she was instantly quiet, which woman didn't care about her appearance.
The little monk Sizhu couldn't help at all, so he could only stand stunned, in fact, when he was in the inn, he was stunned to watch the clerk climb up from the window. They have known each other since childhood, and they are naturally very happy not to see each other for a long time. Unexpectedly, the clerk seemed to be in trouble, and after chatting for a while, someone from the Jiangbei Forty Scattered Sect came to arrest her. Without saying a word, he pulled himself up and threw a spider in the corner, and then jumped out of the window and ran away.
It's a pity that there seem to be a lot of people who came this time and the martial arts are good, even if the clerk has a lot of tricks, it is no match for the round-up, and in the end, because Sizhu was caught, he had no choice but to be captured. Sizhu doesn't know who is involved with whom?
Zhu Shui was very satisfied with Wen'er's performance, she finally knew that she was afraid, and then pretended to be gentle and said: "Little girl, I just asked you a few questions, as long as you answer truthfully in front of so many people, I will let you and this little monk go, how about it?"
Wen'er tilted her head and thought for a moment, then stared at her big watery eyes and asked, "You don't lie to me?"
Zhu Shui patted his chest and abdomen very happily, and then said to everyone as if showing off: "You ask them, when did I, Zhu Shui, deceive people? But if you run away, I will kill this little monk, I know that you are scheming, but this little monk seems to be stupid and does not know martial arts." ”
The clerk glared at Zhu Shui and scolded: "Sizhu is not stupid, he is smarter than everyone in this world, if you scold him for being stupid again, I won't answer your question." ”
Zhu Shui smiled apologetically and said, "It was my mistake, now you just need to tell the truth in front of everyone." ”
The clerk nodded a little unhappily and urged, "You hurry up and ask." ”
Zhu Shui smiled knowingly and asked, "Did you go to Yue'er Beach the night ten days ago?" ”
"Zhu Shui is notoriously insidious and cunning, and it seems that this little girl is going to be tricked by him. Jiang Xiaobai said with some concern.
Li Ming guessed: "Maybe she has really been to Yue'er Beach and really seen the old dragon head." ”
Yue Liang said worriedly: "If that's the case, it's a big trouble." ”
Wen'er looked at Zhu Shui like an idiot, and then asked, "Didn't you send someone to chase me for more than ten days just for this matter?"
Zhu Shui nodded, and then said, "That's right, you just need to answer no." ”
"Yes, I have been. The clerk replied impatiently.
Zhu Shui nodded with satisfaction and asked again, "Then have you ever seen an old man wearing a Tai Chi Taoist robe with three gossip mirrors around his waist?"
"That's right, I still wonder why he hung three gossip mirrors, and he told me that they were the gossip mirrors of his fellow disciples, and they all died for him. The clerk didn't seem to be at all prepared for Zhu Shui's problem.
"When did you go?" asked Jiumei Shi Tai nervously.
The clerk pondered for a moment, and then said, "It's not the time to come." ”
Jiumei Shitai's face changed in an instant, and the other two also had bad faces, only Zhu Shui was very happy, because his goal was achieved.
"Although Jiumei's medical skills are not very clever, they are passed down from the Emei Xinglin faction, and it is absolutely correct to judge the time of death. Chen Sangui said in disbelief.
Tiemu was not convinced, and said, "What about the hour?"
Zhu Shui ignored it, looked at the clerk with a smile on his face, and said: "Girl, let me ask you again, there are fishermen who get up to go to the toilet, squatting among the weeds but see you squatting next to the old man from a distance, the old man is already dead at that time, but is there such a thing?"
The clerk seemed to finally understand what was going on when he came back, and asked, "What's going on?"
"Girl, it's too late for you to quibble, your eyes betray everything, that's you, right?" Zhu Shui stepped aside with satisfaction.
Jiumei asked with a serious face: "That old man is the old dragon head of the Jiangbei Forty Scattered Sect, can you think about it, are you squatting next to the old dragon?"
Zhu Shui frowned unhappily and said, "Jiumei, do you suspect that I have bought her?" To tell you the truth, I already knew the news, and the fisherman had already been threatened by me and did not dare to tell the truth, and you said this to force her to lie. ”
The clerk said unexpectedly: "That's right, I went, I was bored after leaving, so I wanted to go back there to talk to the old man again, who knew that as soon as I got there, I saw him fall to the water's edge, and he was already breathless, but I really didn't kill him." ”
