Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Human Heart Is Unfathomable

Ye Shuying kept running all the way to the landing place, looking at the vast water and the misty mist, and let out a long sigh before sitting down on a piece of grass, thinking about everything he had seen, heard and experienced since he went to Mushan Island. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He Xiaofeng had just rushed back from Chuzhou overnight, and it was on the boat that he learned about Gu Tianhua's injury.

Cui Zhenyuan was furious when he heard He Xiaofeng mention the people of the Zheng family, and asked He Xiaofeng to visit Gu Tianhua but didn't let him stay longer.

Hua Ran said that when the two gang leaders returned from outside in the morning, the gang leader had already been injured, and as soon as he returned, the deputy gang leader ordered that the gang leader had been assassinated on the island and seriously injured.

Before his death, Gu Tianhua said that someone was planning to harm him, and denied killing Old Man Zheng.

Qingmei suggested that Ye Shuying might poison Gu Tianhua, and the people were He Xiaofeng and Cui Zhenyuan.

Linking these, there seems to be only one possibility for the person behind the scenes, and that is Cui Zhenyuan.

Cui Zhenyuan came back with Gu Tianhua, and he naturally knew whether Gu Tianhua's injury was light or severe. He could also easily persuade Gu Tianhua to pretend to be seriously injured to lure the enemy into the net, or to lure out rebellious people. For his brother-in-law, Gu Tianhua naturally would not be suspicious. After Gu Tianhua's death, Cui Zhenyuan can also completely convince everyone that he was too seriously injured to make the murderer easy to do, and the poisoning was easily covered up.

And He Xiaofeng rushed back from outside, and he didn't even know how seriously his father-in-law was injured, even if he wanted to rebel, he didn't need to poison him again. What's more, he was originally the successor to the position of the gang leader, and he didn't need to launch a rebellion to get the Nanchao Gang. He only visited Gu Tianhua in a hurry, and he had no chance to poison him at all.

It's just that these are just speculations, without any conclusive evidence, Ye Shuying didn't see with her own eyes who poisoned her, and she didn't know if the poison was really on a dish that Gu Tianhua ate but Qingmei would never eat.

It was previously determined that the murderer of Old Man Zheng was Gu Tianhua, also because all the evidence and physical evidence pointed to him, but in fact, none of them were death certificates. The injuries on Zheng Lao's body can only prove that the murderer has a strong palm, and Gu Tianhua is the suspect; the old grudge between the Nanchao Gang and Old Man Zheng only gave Gu Tianhua the motive to kill, but it does not mean that he must kill for it; Hua Ran's words only prove that Gu Tianhua was not assassinated on the island. As for Gu Tianhua himself, he only said, "If it weren't for this, how could I get rid of the suspicion of killing Zheng Laijian", and did not admit that the Zheng family was killed by him.

Because of these, Ye Shuying concluded that the murderer was Gu Tianhua, and killed him by mistake, and now he has no regrets. Now although Cui Zhenyuan is extremely suspicious, Ye Shuying still does not dare to act rashly, and must thoroughly investigate the origin of the matter before acting.

It's just that if the person behind the scenes is really Cui Zhenyuan, since he can design such a careful strategy, he must be a person with a deep mind in the city, how can he easily let people catch the handle?

Thinking about it, Ye Shuying really didn't know what to do now. He really didn't expect the water of this pool of Chaohu Lake to be so deep and muddy.

Since I can't figure it out, let's put these aside for the time being. Ye Shuying fell backwards, put the Yintai sword on his waist, pillowed his hands on the back of his head, closed his eyes and rested, but he heard a "gurgling" sound from his stomach, and only then did he remember that his dinner was wasted because of a glass of drugged wine, and he couldn't help but sigh, then turned over and remembered Shen Yuhong.

Ye Shuying and her have only been separated for half a day, and it seems that they have been for several months. I had been thinking about the revenge of the assassination before, but I didn't think of her, but now when I think of it, the trend of thought is like flowing water, her voice and smile linger, and the feeling of longing is really indescribable. I just don't know if she has woken up now, if she wakes up and knows that she has arrived on Mushan Island in Chaohu Lake, will she be worried......

I don't know how long it took, Ye Shuying heard a sound of footsteps, sat up suddenly, and found that it was Chu Sanjiang who came, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Chu, you are here." ”

Chu Sanjiang sat down beside him and said, "I've kept you waiting." I have found Cui Zhenyuan's residence, and he lives in Qinghui Xiaoyuan, on the south side of Mushan Island. It was heavily defended, and I finally sneaked in, and after waiting for more than half an hour, I didn't find a chance to attack, so I came back to meet you first and discuss countermeasures. I don't know what you've gained, Brother Ye?"

Ye Shuying told everything he had seen and heard, and what he had done to kill Gu Tianhua.

Chu Sanjiang listened and said: "In this way, Gu Tianhua was framed, and Cui Zhenyuan was the murderer behind the scenes. ”

Ye Shuying said: "I also guessed so, but there is no definite evidence, in case Cui Zhenyuan is not the real murderer, and then kill him by mistake......"

Chu Sanjiang said: "Brother Ye, you don't know much about the situation of the Nanchao Gang, so you think so, if you know the internal contradictions of the Nanchao Gang, you won't have this doubt." ”

Ye Shuying asked, "What are the internal contradictions of the Nanchao Gang?"

Chu Sanjiang said: "This is actually the contradiction between Gu Tianhua, Cui Zhenyuan and He Xiaofeng. You also know that Gu Tianhua and Cui Zhenyuan are sworn brothers, and He Xiaofeng is Gu Tianhua's righteous son. Gu Tianhua valued He Xiaofeng very much, thinking that he was both ambitious and talented, so he devoted himself to cultivating him, and even wanted to pass on the position of gang leader to him, but Cui Zhenyuan didn't like He Xiaofeng, and always felt that he had ulterior motives for joining the Nanchao Gang. For this matter, Gu Tianhua and Cui Zhenyuan had several unpleasant quarrels, but after all, they had a deep brotherhood and did not really fall out. ”

Ye Shuying listened carefully, Chu Sanjiang paused, and then continued: "In the past two years, Gu Tianhua has had the heart to retreat, and the Nanchao Gang has also secretly divided into two forces, one force supports Cui Zhenyuan, and the other forces support He Xiaofeng, and the two forces are secretly competing. Although Gu Tianhua knew it, because one was a righteous brother and the other was a righteous son, he didn't make the matter clear, so he wanted to take advantage of his sixtieth birthday a month later to officially give up the position of the helper. ”

Ye Shuying said: "But Cui Zhenyuan and He Xiaofeng are both likely to inherit the position of the gang leader." ”

Chu Sanjiang said: "However, the entire Nanchao Gang knows that Gu Tianhua intends to favor He Xiaofeng. ”

Ye Shuying said: "Yes, I have long heard the statement that He Xiaofeng is the future master of the Nanchao Gang. ”

Chu Sanjiang said: "Cui Zhenyuan himself also wants to be a helper, how can he be willing to let a young descendant climb on his head? But Gu Tianhua's sixtieth birthday is approaching, if he can't make Gu Tianhua change his mind, he can only make him never be able to open his mouth." This is Cui Zhenyuan's motive for designing to kill Gu Tianhua. It's just that I still don't understand one thing, since he can come up with such a careful plan and can be regarded as a strategic person, why is Gu Tianhua unwilling to pass on the position of helper to him?"

Ye Shuying sighed: "People's hearts are unpredictable, how can we guess the thoughts of others?"

Chu Sanjiang said: "Then what should we do now?"

Ye Shuying said: "No matter how intriguing the Nanchao Gang is, I don't care, I only care about who the murderer of the Zheng family is." ”

The reason why he did not act recklessly again was because he separated the two things.

Chu Sanjiang said: "Isn't this obvious Cui Zhenyuan?"

Ye Shuying said: "Even if Cui Zhenyuan is the one who designed to frame Gu Tianhua, he may not be the murderer of the Zheng family. I wonder why Brother Chu is so sure of him?"

Chu Sanjiang said: "Of course, it's because of the willow leaf dart." Even if the injuries on Zheng Lao's body are not necessarily caused by Gu Tianhua's 'Desperate Palm', then the willow leaf dart can't be faked, right?"

Ye Shuying said: "Having said that, how did Old Man Zheng's injury come about?"

Chu Sanjiang said: "Although Cui Zhenyuan is good at using a knife, he has deep internal strength, and if he attacks with all his strength, he may also shatter people's meridians and internal organs with palm power." Don't forget, Zheng Lao has been seriously injured on Tiandu Peak, and he only has less than 20% of his strength left, and he is taking over head-on. ”

Ye Shuying said again: "Then what about the motive for killing?"

Chu Sanjiang said: "Avenge the father and son of the old Xie gang leader who were injured in the hands of the Zheng family in the past." ”

Ye Shuying said: "A person who can even kill his own brother-in-law for the position of the helper will risk his life to avenge two people who have been dead for more than 20 years?"

He was still skeptical, because he had connected the two things again.

Although all the spearheads are pointed at Cui Zhenyuan, whether it is killing the Zheng family or designing to frame Gu Tianhua. But the more this is the case, the more Ye Shuying feels that there must be something else hidden, there must be something he doesn't know, and those things may be the key.

Chu Sanjiang hesitated: "This ...... I'll have to ask him personally, and I really can't answer yet. Maybe he had another purpose in killing Zheng Lao's family. ”

Ye Shuying said: "You are right, this time I must ask clearly, I must hear with my own ears that the murderer confessed to killing Old Man Zheng." ”

Chu Sanjiang said: "I didn't expect your mind to be so meticulous, if I wasn't with you, I would have killed Cui Zhenyuan with a few words from that woman." What do you think we should do now?"

Ye Shuying said with a smile: "Now, of course, I want to find a place to sleep well and nourish my spirits." ”

Chu Sanjiang said: "That's right, I do know a place, there is a cave not far east of Qinghui Xiaoyuan that can accommodate you, I just found it by chance on the way back to avoid the night watchman." ”

Ye Shuying said: "It's not far to the east of Qinghui Xiaoyuan? ”

The two got up and walked in the direction of the cave.
