Chapter 222: The Murderer of Assassination
Gong Chudu finally said everything.
Including how Chu Zhongyue separated them ten years ago, how they designed the Cliff Villa to wash the Cliff Villa, and then, how they blamed Qingtong Tomb, and how they killed Ji Rong in the end.
He explained all this clearly, meticulously, even including how Bai Hua killed his daughter in front of himself, and how he himself survived.
It's just that in the paragraph about how he survived, he changed the person who saved him from Ye Jinyi to Chu Xiuyi.
Because before that, what Chu Xiu said to him in private had completely moved him.
Ye Jinyi's plan was originally for Ye Jinyi to tell all this herself, saying that she was the one who saw Chu Zhongyue kill Yu Wuxian with her own eyes, and that she had been secretly living every step of the way for so many years in order to find evidence and tell the world Chu Zhongyue's crimes.
But in this way, everyone will immediately understand that everything yesterday was all Ye Jinyi acting, all of which was a trap set by her, and everyone present was teased by her. Not only that, Ye Jinyi will immediately change from an innocent child who lost his parents to an unscrupulous demon girl who has lost his parents and has not achieved his goal in everyone's hearts.
On the surface, these so-called decent people will still call her the daughter of the Jade Village Lord, and they will still judge Chu Zhongyue, but in their hearts, Ye Jinyi has become a terrible existence that has to be removed, and someone will always come to ask for her life.
Therefore, the ending of Ye Jinyi's plan is tantamount to the burning of jade.
As a "decent person" who had been used by Chu Zhongyue, Gong Qidu knew that if Ye Jinyi's plan continued, Ye Jinyi would indeed be able to wash away the grievances of Yu Wuxian and Ji Rong, and make Chu Zhongyue pay the price, but on the other hand, she would also lose the hearts of those "famous and decent" people.
In the future, some so-called righteous people will come to ask for Ye Jinyi's life under the guise of "eliminating harm for martial arts", and Ye Jinyi will eventually follow in the footsteps of her father Yu Wuxi.
Therefore, when Chu Xiu gave Gong Yi another solution, he immediately agreed. Jade Wuxian has already given his life because of his ignorance and undetermination, so this time, he must protect Jade Wuji's daughter.
However, Ye Jinyi herself didn't think about these at all, in her eyes, as long as she could bring down Chu Zhongyue, then it didn't matter what the price was. Moreover, she didn't plan to leave alive, she was ready to die with Chu Zhongyue.
In the midst of everyone's sighs, Gong Chudu turned around and walked towards Ye Jinyi, half-knelt in front of her, and confessed: "Zhanyan, it's my uncle who is sorry for your father and sorry for you." If it weren't for my credulity in Chu Zhongyue back then, the Yu family would not have suffered such a catastrophe, and let me always regard us father-killing enemies as benefactors, and my uncle couldn't stand you. ”
At this point, everything is revealed.
The people present all sighed about everything today, and in addition to sighing, they remembered a question: Where did the murderer Chu Zhongyue go.
Qian Rushui looked at the covered cage in the center of the platform at this time, and strange noises still came from time to time in the cage. In fact, this voice has always existed, but everyone's attention has been on Chu Xiu and the others, so that it has been gradually ignored. At this time, everyone's surprise and excitement after discovering the truth slowly calmed down, and the cage regained everyone's attention.
The sound inside the cage, which resembled a man's laborious howl, became clearer and more harsh.
Therefore, Qian Rushui looked at the Shaolin abbot and asked, "Abbot, who is in that cage?"
The Shaolin abbot slowly raised his eyes, glanced at the cage, and said slowly: "When the Hidden Scripture Pavilion caught fire last night, the jade donor was almost assassinated. ”
Hearing this, Qian Rushui's eyes widened and said, "There is such a thing." ”
Xin Lianzi continued: "It just so happened that the abbot was looking for me to discuss matters at that time, and the Zen monastery where I temporarily lived was not far from Zhanyan, so I was able to arrive in time to save Zhanyan." ”
"What's in that cage?" Qian Rushui thoughtfully pointed to the huge cage and guessed, "The murderer of Miss Yu?"
"Exactly. The abbot clasped his hands together and nodded.
"Moreover, we suspect that the fire in the Scripture Building was also done by this person, in order to lead everyone to the Scripture Building to put out the fire, so that Zhan Yan is in danger. Xin Lianzi added.
"Who is it that dares to commit murder in the pure land of Buddhism by such insidious means?" Yan Nan slammed the long stick in his hand to the ground, and said angrily.
"This man is too strong to get close to, so we haven't been able to take off his cloak yet. However, this person disregarded the morality of the rivers and lakes, not only burned down the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, but also tried to commit murder in vain, which is really hateful. Therefore, I discussed with the abbot and wanted to take advantage of the martial arts conference to investigate this matter with all of you. Xin Lianzi stood up and said sincerely.
Yan Nan arched his hand and said: "Shaolin's matter is the matter of the beggar gang, and it is our duty to find out about this matter." Besides, the Temple of the Evil God and the Beggar Gang are friends, and if the owner of the Temple of the Evil God is assassinated, we Beggar Gang must not sit idly by. ”
On the side of Feng Yuqing and Gu Changtian, because Fang Cai had been defending Chu Zhongyue, they were ashamed after learning the truth. At this moment, there is an opportunity to be courteous and lose in front of them, and they naturally can't let it go.
So the two brothers glanced at each other, then stood up, and arched their hands towards the abbot: "This is the matter of the various factions of the martial arts, the abbot is really polite, and my Huashan faction is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses." ”
"This person has evil intentions, although he has not succeeded today, he will definitely bring disaster to Wulin in the future. Naturally, we want to take a look at what the murderer is. ”
Seeing this, the other sects also echoed it.
Seeing this, Shi Nian, who was sitting beside the abbot, caused several Shaolin disciples to uncover the black cloth covering the cage.
When the black cloth fell, everyone could see that inside the cage was a man in a black cloak, and the cloak covered his face very tightly, and the reason why everyone could judge that he was a man and not a woman was entirely based on his howl.
His hands were chained, and the chains that bound him were attached to the very top of the cage. Something seemed to be stuffed into his mouth, so that he could only howl but not speak.
His hands were cuffed, but he was still able to slap heavily against the cage that trapped him, as if trying to break through an exit.
Seeing this, Chu Xiuyi subconsciously protected Ye Jinyi behind him, looked at the somewhat crazy person in the cage vigilantly, and slowly walked around behind this person with the hand holding Ye Jinyi.
"It's good that the man is trapped, but this man is like a mad dog, and he doesn't seem to be weak, so how can I take off his cloak? Qian Rushui touched his chin, walked up to the stage, and walked around the cage for two weeks.
When Gu Changtian heard this, he also walked up to the stage, he looked into the cage and chuckled: "It's not simple. ”
As he spoke, he drew his sword.
Yan Nan reminded on the side: "Mr. Gu, don't hurt this person. ”
Gu Changtian smiled sideways, and said with relief: "Don't worry, Yan Daxia, I, Gu, know how to measure." ”
As he spoke, he swung his sword at the man, and saw that the sword in his hand quickly slashed in front of the cloak several times, and the cloak cap on the man's head quickly turned into a fine strip of cloth and slowly fell.
At the moment when Gu Changtian made a move, Chu Xiu's palm hidden in the long sleeve quickly exerted his strength and gently slapped the back of the man's neck in the cage.
"Ahem!" Before the people could see the man's face, the man spat something forward, and then lowered his head a little weakly, and coughed a few more times.
Gu Changtian looked at the thing he was holding in his hand, it was an iron ball as big as an apricot, it was what the man had just spit out, it was wet and sticky, it was probably the person's saliva.
Gu Changtian reacted, hurriedly threw the iron ball on the ground, pulled a handkerchief from his waist and complained while wiping his hands: "Why does he have such a big iron lump in his mouth?"
Qian Rushui sneered: "Maybe I guessed that someone was going to remove his cloak, so I stayed to make a secret weapon." However, he probably didn't expect Mr. Gu to react so quickly and be able to catch this iron lump. ”
At this time when Gu Changtian and Qian Rushui were talking, Yan Nan had already walked to the front of the iron cage and picked up the man's chin with the long stick in his hand.
After seeing the man's face clearly, Yan Nan's eyes suddenly widened, and he said in surprise: "Chu Zhongyue?"
"Huh, Chu Zhongyue?" Hearing Yan Nan's words, Qian Rushui and Gu Changtian immediately turned around and looked over.
Those who had been bored at once heard these three words, and they immediately became energetic and fell their eyes on that person.
I saw that the man slowly raised his head, glanced at Yan Nan, and then looked around at the crowd, and then immediately woke up, pounced on the cage fence, and shouted: "Let the owner of this village out! You shameless villains, you dare to frame me!"
This person is the central figure in people's topic-Chu Zhongyue.
