Tang Jiabao, in the Tang Gate meeting hall, Tang Jiezong, the current head of the Tang Gate, sat on a high position, looked at the Tang Sect backbones standing below with an expressionless face, and then said lightly: "Let Qingsong and Tang Tang come forward to argue, you will watch from the side, and we will make a decision afterwards." ”

Everyone below responded in unison, and then Tang Qingsong and Tang Tang walked into the hall from outside the door and saluted Tang Jiezong in the center of the hall.

Tang Jiezong waved his hand casually, and then said: "Tang Tang, since you have accused your second uncle of killing people and killing people, what evidence do you have?"

Tang Tang took a few steps forward, handed the jade pendant to an old man standing in the first place, and then retreated to his original position, and gave Tang Jiezong a salute: "Please take a look." ”

"Pick it up. Tang Jiezong said to the old man.

The old man is Tang Jiezong's elder brother Tang Mingming, and he is also a respected old man in the Tang Sect, but in front of Tang Jiezong, he shows an extremely respectful attitude. Because Tang Jiezong is the head of the family, in front of the head of the family, his age is just a floating cloud, even if he is the father of the head of the family, he has to show a respectful attitude towards the head of the family in front of others.

Tang Ming respectfully sent the jade pendant to Tang Jiezong, and then slowly retreated back to its original position with his head down, without looking up at Tang Jiezong the whole time.

Tang Jiezong squinted and looked at the jade pendant in his hand, as if his eyes were not very good, and after a while, he pinched the jade pendant with his hand and brought it to his eyes, but his eyes had almost narrowed into a slit.

"There is a word 'pine' written on this jade, and it looks like a pine tree. Tang Jiezong said slowly: "Qingsong, this jade pendant is unique to you?"

Tang Qingsong asked out loud, "Can the head of the family let Qingsong bring the jade pendant to take a look?"

Tang Jiezong nodded, and then spread his hand in front of him, and the jade pendant was placed in his palm.

Tang Mingdang stepped forward respectfully, carefully picked up the jade pendant from Tang Jiezong's hand, and then passed it to Tang Qingsong.

Tang Qingsong also respectfully put the jade pendant into his hand: "I'm tired of the third uncle." ”

Tang Mingli replied with a light "um", and after he returned to his original position, Tang Qingsong took the jade pendant and looked at it.

Not long after, Tang Qingsong took the jade pendant in his hand, and then gave a salute to Tang Jiezong: "Back to the family master, this jade pendant is indeed unique to me, but I just lost this jade pendant earlier yesterday, but I don't know where it fell." ”

Tang Jiezong raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Earlier? When was that?"

Tang Qingsong pondered for a while and said, "It was probably when Tang and Tang competed yesterday, and I was also in the crowd watching at that time. Because there were too many people, I didn't notice that the jade pendant was lost, maybe it was squeezed out. ”

After hearing this, Tang Jiezong asked, "Then do you know where this jade pendant fell?"

Tang Qingsong smiled bitterly: "I didn't know about it, but when Tang Tang came to me this morning, I already knew." ”

"Then what else do you have to say?" Tang Jiezong asked.

Tang Qingsong said: "Naturally, there is something to say. First, I didn't use poison, and second, I didn't kill anyone. All in all, I was wronged. ”

Tang Jiezong turned to Tang Tang at this time: "Tang Tang, do you have anything to say?"

Tang Tang said: "The reason why I suspect the second uncle is only because the evidence at the scene points to him. Of course, I don't want to believe that the second uncle would do such a thing, but the poison in Tang Shen is 'ghost jumping over the wall', which is indeed a poison formula that only my inner disciple of the Tang Sect can master, and the second uncle's jade pendant happened to fall in Tang Shen's house, although it cannot be said that the evidence is conclusive, but the second uncle's suspicion is undoubtedly the greatest. ”

Tang Jiezong nodded: "What you said is fair, but if Qingsong is really a murderer, how can he leave such obvious evidence? As if he was afraid that others would not know that he was the murderer." What's more, if the murderer is really Qingsong, could it be that he has no way to commit suicide, so he came up with such a clever plan to kill himself with a knife?"

Tang Tang lowered his head and said: "This is also where my grandson feels strange, so I just want to confront the second uncle today in order to find out the reason." ”

Tang Jiezong pondered for a long time, and then said: "You must investigate this matter, now it is really an eventful autumn, my Tang Sect has been standing safely for hundreds of years, and I will never allow others to cause trouble." This matter may be that someone deliberately targeted my Tang Sect, and as for what its purpose is, I can only investigate it carefully. ”

After saying that, Tang Jiezong waved his hand: "It's all gone, this matter is not the matter of Qingsong and Tang Tang, but the matter of my entire Tang Sect, you all need to investigate carefully." And before the truth was revealed, Qingsong stayed in his courtyard and stopped walking around at will. ”

Tang Qingsong's face changed slightly, this was obviously to ban his feet, he couldn't help but say, "The head of the family ......"

Tang Jiezong's eyes widened, although he was old, he exuded a terrifying majesty: "You don't know what you wanted to do when you went out yesterday? The Tang Sect is already in danger now, don't you still think that our Tang Sect is not in trouble enough?"

Tang Qingsong's body trembled, he gritted his teeth at the moment, said no more, and resolutely turned around to leave.

Tang Jiezong looked at Tang Qingsong's back, and couldn't help but sigh slightly, his old eyes also showed a look of exhaustion at this time.

Almost everyone in the hall had dispersed, leaving only Tang Mingli waiting quietly. It wasn't until Tang Jiezong stepped down from the throne and came to his side that Tang Jiezong followed Tang Jiezong and walked out of the conference hall together.

"Family Master, all this happened after the arrival of those young people, don't you think this matter has anything to do with them?" asked Tang Ming as he walked along the road.

Tang Jie didn't reply, just said lightly: "Maybe, but before everything is investigated, any speculation is just suspicion, we can't just hold us accountable based on suspicion, not to mention that there are Tianxue disciples among them, if something happens around our Tangjiabao, he may attract criticism from people in the rivers and lakes, and even let some young people take this opportunity to entangle the various sects to attack my Tang Sect." Let's just say that two of the remaining three have mysterious origins, they are not very old, but their swordsmanship is extremely exquisite, can you cultivate such a talent from an ordinary sect?"

Tang Zhuo responded: "What the head of the family said is that I didn't think it through. ”

Tang Jiezong sighed, and said with some abruptness in his tone: "This difficulty may be the test that God gave me for the Tang Sect, if I can pass it smoothly, it means that my Tang Sect is not at fault in the way of life, and this sect will continue to develop like this in the future." And if something goes wrong with the Tang Gate this time, then we have to reflect on it and think about whether the Tang Gate should change its way of survival in order to better integrate into the rivers and lakes. ”

When Tang Mingli heard this, his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly. It's just that Tang Jiezong walked in front of him, so he naturally didn't notice it.
