Chapter 85: Removing the Traitor and Protecting the Bell (22)

Long Shaotian's sword was picked up from the ground casually, so it was naturally not a worthy weapon. He waved his hand a few times, and finally made do, and then pointed a sword at the two elders Fei and Qiu, and said, "You'd better be mentally prepared, I'm going to come to the real thing next!"

Elder Fei snorted coldly, "Each other!"

At this time, Elder Qiu, who had never spoken, actually spoke: "Master Long Shaozhuang, you just say that you are innocent, why don't you want to lay down your weapons and deal with this matter calmly?"

Long Shaotian sneered: "You still wanted my life just now, but now you want me to lay down my weapon, you really know how to make wishful thinking!"

Elder Qiu said, "It was just now, and now it's now, I don't want to fight with you now." After saying that, he put away his weapon.

Long Shaotian said: "So far, what's the use of saying such high-sounding words? If you really want to quench the anger in my heart, you will immediately let my person go, and make amends to her until she forgives you, and I can not pursue other matters with you." ”

Elder Qiu said: "I'm afraid that I am not the only one to say about this matter, but as long as I can find out that the murder of my helper is not what you claim, I will definitely release that little girl and compensate you." ”

Long Shaotian said: "Is your words credible? We have already been labeled murderers by you!"

Elder Qiu said: "I didn't believe that the owner of Long Shaozhuang was the murderer, and there are still many doubts in this matter, but the deputy gang leader and several other elders handled this matter a little hastily because they were eager to track down the real murderer. ”

Elder Fei was a little displeased when he heard this, and said, "Elder Qiu. What do you mean by that?"

Elder Qiu said, "I just want to say that all parties have calmed down first, and this matter needs to be further investigated. ”

Elder Fei said, "I said Elder Qiu. Why are you still saying such things at this time?"

Elder Qiu said, "If you don't say it at this time, I'm afraid it's too late!"

Elder Fei sneered and said, "It's not too late to say at this time? We have already issued a heroic order on the rivers and lakes, and at this time, wouldn't it make people laugh if we want to tell the world that we made a mistake?"

Elder Qiu said: "So what, it's better than making a big mistake, my beggar gang has always acted above board, if we make a mistake, we have to correct it!"

Elder Fei said, "According to your wishes." Long Shaotian, he is not a murderer, he was wronged by us?"

Elder Qiu said, "I'm not sure about this, but doesn't Elder Fei think that the whole thing is a bit too coincidental? If there is really someone behind the scenes, my beggar gang cannot be used by him. ”

At this time, someone suddenly said, "Elder Fei, don't listen to Elder Qiu's words, Elder Xu saw the murder of the gang leader with his own eyes." How can it be fake?"

It was Deputy Gang Leader Xue who spoke. It looked like he was gone.

Elder Qiu glanced at Deputy Gang Leader Xue coldly and said, "Is the Deputy Gang Leader saying that the murder was witnessed by Elder Xu?"

Deputy Gang Leader Xue said: "That's right!"

Elder Qiu said, "Then let Elder Xu explain the situation again." ”

And it just so happened that Elder Xu also came over at this time, and everyone's eyes were cast on Elder Xu.

Long Shaotian didn't expect things to develop like this, he had already prepared to fight with all the elders of the Beggar Gang, defeat them, and then rescue Xiao Ling. But after things took such a turn for the better, he decided to wait and see what happened for the time being.

Although it was the same trick as Deputy Gang Leader Xue, Elder Xu's complexion was obviously much inferior to Deputy Gang Leader Xue. He looked left and right. Finally, he couldn't stand the torture of everyone's eyes, and said, "When I arrived." The gang leader was dead, and the only people present at that time were Long Shaotian and the little girl. ”

Elder Qiu said, "In other words, Elder Xu didn't see them kill with his own eyes?"

Elder Xu didn't answer immediately, but glanced at Deputy Gang Leader Xue with some scruples, and said, "Deputy Gang Leader, when you just faced Long Shaotian, did you stop at the last moment?"

Deputy Gang Leader Xue didn't expect Elder Xu to suddenly ask such a question, his face couldn't help but twitch, even if it quickly returned to normal, the strange expression at that moment could not escape Elder Xu's eyes.

Deputy Gang Leader Xue smiled: "Elder Xu, what are you talking about, how can I stop in that situation?"

Elder Xu said, "That will allow me to be your shield, and you can get out of the way!"

Deputy Gang Leader Xue seemed to be surprised, and said, "How could I do that?"

However, Elder Xu didn't seem to believe him anymore, and turned his head to Elder Qiu and said, "I really haven't seen Long Shaotian kill people with my own eyes. ”

Elder Qiu looked at Deputy Gang Leader Xue, obviously Elder Xu's answer had made Deputy Gang Leader Xue embarrassed, and he saw that his face was twitching violently.

Deputy Gang Leader Xue held back his anger and said, "Even if you don't see it with your own eyes, it's an indisputable fact that the killing sword is theirs!"

Elder Xu said, "That's right, that sword was indeed pulled out by my own hands, and it was later taken away by Long Shaotian. ”

Elder Qiu said, "This is not enough evidence to serve as evidence, anyone can use this sword to kill someone." ”

Deputy Gang Leader Xue said, "Elder Qiu, I think you are deliberately trying to shield the murderer! Maybe you and the murderer are in the same group!"

Elder Qiu sneered: "I, Qiu, sit upright, but I'm not afraid of being wronged. It's the deputy gang leader, who hastily identified the murderer before he thoroughly investigated the truth of the matter, I'm afraid that he is a thief, right?"

Deputy Gang Leader Xue roared: "You are talking nonsense!"

Although Elder Qiu's words were more reasonable, no one knew that such an argument would not solve the problem at all. So even if their argument was about his innocence, Long Shaotian didn't want to listen to it anymore, because Xiao Ling was still waiting for him to come to the rescue. He glanced in the direction of the temple, but did not notice an elder-level figure standing in front of him. If that were the case, he could easily jump through the crowd and rush into the temple. So, he decided to do it.

At this moment, a person who suddenly came out of the crowd interrupted Long Shaotian's plan, because this person was just in the way between him and the broken temple. This person was the only Elder Ma who had never fought against Long Shaotian.

Elder Ma smiled and said, "Deputy Gang Leader, don't be angry yet, let me say a few words." ”

Seeing Elder Ma coming, Deputy Gang Leader Xue looked uplifted, and said, "Elder Ma, you came just in time, Elder Qiu actually shielded the murderer, I think he must have been bought by the murderer!"

Elder Ma shook his head and said, "I don't agree with what the deputy gang leader said, everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that Elder Qiu is an upright, loyal, filial piety, benevolent and righteous person, and he is even more dedicated to the beggar gang, how can there be a betrayal of the beggar gang?"

Deputy Gang Leader Xue's face became ugly again, and he said, "Elder Ma, you ......"

Elder Ma interrupted him and said, "Deputy Gang Leader, don't worry, listen to me first." He paused, and then said, "Although it is impossible for Elder Qiu to betray the beggar gang, there is one person who can. ”

Deputy Gang Leader Xue hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

Elder Ma stared at Deputy Gang Leader Xue, his face changed, and he said, "That person is you!

Deputy Gang Leader Xue was taken aback, and then said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Elder Ma said unhurriedly: "I, like Elder Qiu, had doubts about this matter from the beginning, so I secretly investigated, and it turned out that I really found some clues, guess what the clues are?"

Deputy Gang Leader Xue said angrily: "How can I know the Dao!"

Elder Ma said: "That murderous sword, just the day before the gang leader was killed, someone saw the deputy gang leader you holding it!"

As soon as these words came out, not only Deputy Gang Leader Xue, but also the other elders were shocked. Long Shaotian had already learned the news from the black-clothed mouth, so he didn't react much, just frowned, as if he had something else in mind.

Elder Fei was the first to jump out and ask, "Is this true?"

Elder Ma said, "It's true!"

Deputy Gang Leader Xue said, "Do you have evidence for what you say?"

Elder Ma said, "If there is no evidence, I won't just talk nonsense. ”

After speaking, Elder Ma shouted a name to the crowd, and someone immediately walked out.

Elder Ma continued, "Does the deputy gang leader recognize this person?"

In fact, there is no need to ask, the answer can be drawn from Deputy Gang Leader Xue's expression. This man is actually a little guy who has followed him for many years, how can he not know it?

Seeing that Deputy Gang Leader Xue didn't speak, Elder Ma said again, "I don't think there is any need to ask, right?" He said to the little guy, "You tell an elder what you saw that day." ”

The little servant replied respectfully, "Yes!" He paused slightly, and continued: "Just the day before the gang leader was killed, when the disciple went to look for the deputy gang leader, he happened to see the deputy gang leader looking at a short sword in his hand, but as soon as he saw the disciple arrive, he immediately put the sword away. ”

Elder Fei said, "Are you sure that the sword in the hand of the deputy gang leader you saw is the sword that killed the gang leader?"

The little servant said: "You can be sure, because there is a small bell hanging on the hilt of that sword, which can be recognized at a glance." ”

Elder Fei yelled at the little guy, "Why didn't you say this kind of thing earlier?"

The little guy was so frightened that he trembled, and said tremblingly: "The disciple is because he is afraid of ......"

At this time, everyone's eyes turned to Deputy Gang Leader Xue.

Deputy Gang Leader Xue panicked at this time, and looked left and right: "You don't really think that I killed the gang leader, do you......?" he said and didn't say any more, because he had already learned from everyone's eyes that even if he had ten mouths at this time, he couldn't tell clearly.

Long Shaotian sighed and said, "The matter has finally come to an end, and it seems that there is nothing to do with me anymore." With that, he walked in the direction of the ruined temple.

Elder Ma shouted to Long Shaotian, "Slow down!"

Long Shaotian said coldly: "What else is the matter?"

Elder Ma said, "You want to save that little girl, right?"

Long Shaotian said: "Then you don't need to say!"

Elder Ma said: "Although it has been determined that the deputy gang leader has something to do with this matter, it is not certain that it has nothing to do with you, so I can't hand it over to you yet!"

But Long Shaotian ignored it at all, and walked towards the broken temple. (To be continued......)
