Chapter 483: Making a vow
Just when Xue Youyu was still thinking about himself, Wan Hengjiang, the law enforcement officer of the Criminal Hall, suddenly stepped forward, hugged his fist heavily to the hall, and said: "Alliance leader, my subordinates think that the explanation of the water girl is indeed reasonable and worthy of acceptance. From this point of view, there are many strange things about the cause of death of Wu Yuan and the others, and further detailed investigation is needed to find the real murderer!"
Xue Youyou immediately came back to her senses, nodded solemnly, and said, "Well, now that the Gu Deputy Alliance Master is not here, this matter of arresting the murderer will be handed over to you to be fully responsible." ”
"Yes, my subordinates obey!"
After receiving the order, Wan Hengjiang did not retreat, but clenched his fists again and said in a deep voice: "Alliance leader, although the murderer who killed Wu Yuan and them may not be the parting arrow, the person who killed the left deputy alliance leader and the other rudder masters in the first place has already been confirmed to be the parting arrow.
Whether there is one parting arrow or two parting arrows, they are still the mortal enemies of my Loyalty and Righteousness Alliance!"
Before Xue Youyou could say anything, Jing Yuanshu, the master of the Ying Hall on the side, also took a few steps forward and said in an impassioned voice: "Alliance leader, my subordinates think that what Wan Law Enforcement said is good!"
Although the imperial court has issued an edict, the hermits are no longer evil, and the hermits are no longer the enemies of our Yuren.
But the parting arrow is not an ordinary hermit, and what he has formed with the alliance of loyalty and righteousness is a pure grievance between the rivers and lakes, not the law of the imperial court.
At the beginning, the Loyal and Righteous Alliance, as the eagle dog of the imperial court, did participate in the killing of the hermit. But all these actions were done on an errand, not out of any personal grudges.
But parting arrows are different. He has been systematically killing the people of the Loyal Alliance, which is far from simply rebellion and self-preservation, but an extremely cold-blooded act of revenge.
Since he turned all his hatred for His Majesty the Emperor into revenge for the Loyalty and Righteousness Alliance, that is, he wanted to end the evil consequences caused by the misconduct of the government in a way of personal grudges.
Then between the parting arrow and the Loyalty Alliance, there is no longer an endless possibility of relieving past suspicions and resolving grudges. In the end, there is only one way - blood debt and blood payment!"
The voice of the well hall master, who was very popular in the alliance, fell, and the others echoed it.
All the while, the emotions of these people have been drawn by the development of the situation. From the initial indignation when he knew that the murderer was a parting arrow, to the uncertainty when he found out that there was something else strange in it, and then to the sudden realization when he was sure that the murderer was not a parting arrow.
But in the end, they were still touched by Jing Yuanshu's words, which once again ignited the fire of hatred for the parting arrow in their hearts.
The Loyal and Righteous League killed the Yin people on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor at that time, and it did not violate the laws of the imperial court at all, so it was naturally not a crime.
Even if it turns out that the killing of the Yin people was wrong, it was a mistake made by the imperial court, and it had nothing to do with the Loyalty Alliance.
Therefore, the members of the Loyal League are not responsible for their own murderous acts, let alone bear any consequences.
And the parting arrow did not fight against the imperial court, but took revenge on the people in the Loyal and Righteous Alliance, it is simply unreasonable!
In fact, it is very normal for these members of the Loyal League to have this kind of thought, because this is also a mentality shared by many people who help and abuse them.
This is like the attitude of many people towards an unjust case.
A person is falsely accused, and then wrongly arrested, wrongly judged, wrongly imprisoned, or even wrongly killed.
When the truth is revealed, in addition to the fact that the original framer may be punished for this, all those involved in the arrest, adjudication, and imprisonment, and even the prisoners and executioners, may take it for granted that this unjust case has nothing to do with them.
They don't reflect on it, if they hadn't listened to and believed in the first place, if they weren't stubborn, if they weren't selfish, if they weren't afraid of power, if they weren't greedy for money, if they weren't indifferent, maybe the person who was falsely accused wouldn't have been treated unjustly step by step, and finally died unjustly.
They will only think that the framer is hateful, the framed person is pitiful, and they themselves are innocent.
Therefore, once the person who was falsely accused, or his relatives and friends, stands up and accuses these people who are suspected of wrongful arrest, wrongful judgment, wrongful imprisonment, or even wrongful killing, and wants them to be held responsible, they will inevitably feel very wronged, very wronged, and even very angry.
It is precisely because of this grievance and anger, of course, that it is more likely that it is out of some kind of uneasiness and fear hidden in their hearts, that they will have a bitter hatred for the person who accuses them.
And at this moment, these loyal and righteous people are with such a bitter hatred, vowing to get rid of the parting arrow that wants them to bear the responsibility!
Xue Youyou is not unaware of the psychology of these people.
However, as the leader of the Loyalty Alliance, especially her own father, the former leader of the Loyalty Alliance, Xue Pinghao, was the most enthusiastic person to carry out the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, and even led the people of the Loyalty Alliance to slaughter the hermits frantically, and in the end, it was also because of the hermit people.
Xue Youyou really doesn't have any position to accuse these people of their thoughts.
The only thing she can do is not to oppose it publicly, but she will never give any support.
But she didn't realize that sometimes, inaction is actually a disguised support for the evildoers.
Just when she was about to choose to remain silent in the face of the turmoil of the crowd, Wan Hengjiang, the law enforcement officer of the torture hall who showed the most righteous indignation, stood up again.
"Alliance Leader, you have ordered the Gu Deputy Alliance Master to be responsible for tracking down the parting arrow. But now, the Gu Deputy Alliance Master is seriously injured, and he is far away in Beirong, I am afraid that he will not return soon. Therefore, my subordinates want to ask the alliance leader for their life here, and I will take over the investigation of the parting arrow. ”
Xue Youyou's eyes couldn't help narrowing slightly, staring at Wan Hengjiang for a long time, and Fang slowly said: "Wan Law Enforcement has already taken on many positions, and now he has to be responsible for investigating these two new bloody cases, so he must have no time to take care of others." The matter of tracking down the parting arrow is still supervised by this seat himself. ”
"But—"
Wan Hengjiang still wanted to argue with reason, but Xue Youyou waved his hand categorically to prevent him from speaking again.
"I understand very well the urgency of Wan Fa Fa and the brothers in the alliance to catch the parting arrow as soon as possible and avenge the left deputy alliance leader and the other rudder masters who were killed.
It's just that you should all know very well that since the murder of the Left Deputy Alliance Leader, the parting arrow has completely disappeared. Neither Shunfeng Hall nor the rudders everywhere have ever heard any news about the parting arrows.
No matter how powerful my Loyalty Alliance is and how many members there are, I can't find a needle in a haystack. What's more, almost no one has ever seen the true appearance of that parting arrow.
And now, there are even people who are secretly plotting, trying to take the opportunity of revisiting the old story of parting arrows to provoke civil strife in our Loyal and Righteous Alliance, so as to achieve their ulterior motives.
The more times like these, the more we must hold our minds and calm down, and never become the pawn used by others. Do you understand what this seat means?"
After everyone in the hall glanced at each other, they all bowed in unison and said, "The subordinates understand, and they must obey the orders of the alliance leader!"
Despite this, some people still have a clear look of unwillingness on their faces.
Xue Yu is high in the hall, and he sees all this in his eyes.
She knew that if she couldn't completely appease the people in front of her at this moment, after they walked out of this hall, they would continue to confide their grievances to each other, and then vent to others.
And once they are allowed to form an alliance for this matter in private, and then provoked by people with ulterior motives, it will inevitably cause another uproar within the Loyalty Alliance, and may even eventually lead to the collapse of the Loyalty Alliance.
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Xue Youyou immediately spoke again, and said word by word: "This seat hereby makes an oath that I will spare no effort to track down the parting arrow. And once one day, if we catch the mortal enemy of this loyal and righteous alliance, this seat will definitely let him pay for it with blood! If this oath is violated, I will apologize with death!"
As soon as her words came out, everyone present was immediately moved!
Even Wan Hengjiang, who had always been unhappy, immediately lowered his head, not daring to face and provoke this alliance leader with an iron will.
On the other hand, Shui Lingluo, who was listening to it, had a slightly pale face, and secretly prayed in his heart, that Brother Ling, who had gone to the south, had better not come back, and would never be discovered by the people of the Loyalty Alliance.
Otherwise, once he and his ancestor face each other, what should he do? Do you have to watch them fight to the death?
