Chapter 290: The Truth (I)

"Mrs. Zheng?" Chen Ao was even more surprised, "What does this have to do with Mrs. Zheng?"

Zhao Ling raised his eyebrows, and the vague doubt from before rose to his heart.

I saw Elder Yang spitting and spitting, as if he had a stomach full of words, but he couldn't say anything. Bai Junya was now in power, so she naturally looked down on these elders, and sneered when she saw this: "Elder Yang, what do you mean by saying this and stopping? Do you want to delay time?"

Elder Yang couldn't stand his agitation, and blurted out: "What is delaying time, you don't know about this matter, but a few of us who have been at the helm all year round are very clear!"

Seeing that Elder Yang didn't look like he was lying, Chen Ao also realized that there must be something hidden in this. He asked, "Elder Yang, could it be that this matter you said involves privacy?"

Elder Yang was like meeting a bosom friend, he was inexplicably excited, nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, yes, yes, this matter is indeed not good for some people's reputation......

Chen Ao understood, waved his hand, and said, "Except for a few gang leaders and elders here, everyone else has gone to wait outside the hall!"

Although dozens of gang members were also very gossipy, they had no choice but to be too low and didn't dare to disobey their orders, so they had to retreat honestly and close the door of the hall.

Chen Ao continued: "Elder Yang, you should say it now, right?"

Elder Yang gritted his teeth, relentlessly, and said, "Okay, Helmsman, I'm not doing this to defend Elder Yao. It's just that everyone is stuck in their throats, but they have never been able to say it. I simply said it today at 1510, let the helmsman decide!"

Chen Ao thought to himself, what kind of trouble is it, so many elders can't decide, so I have to decide?

He waved his hand impatiently and motioned for Elder Yang to continue.

Elder Yang said, "Helmsman, I just said that this matter is related to Mrs. Zheng. Therefore, we have to invite Mrs. Zheng out!"

"What do you ask Mrs. Zheng to do?" Chen Ao couldn't help but be stunned as he spoke. It turned out that there was a voice, which sounded at the same time as his voice, and it also said the same thing.

Chen Ao looked behind Elder Yang and saw that Qiu Wenwu's face was a little strange. Fang Cai's sentence is exactly what he said. It's just that Chen Ao's tone was very casual, but Qiu Wenwu's voice trembled a little.

Chen Ao suddenly felt that something was wrong, and asked, "Master Qiu, what are you nervous about?"

Qiu Wenwu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Am I nervous?

Chen Ao frowned, got up and said, "No, you feel nervous!"

Zhao Ling sighed helplessly and whispered, "Chen Ao, can you not worry about whether you are nervous or not?"

"Oh oh......" Chen Ao hurriedly cleared his throat, remembering that this evening, Mrs. Zheng quietly came over to tell him the clue. Those clues clearly pointed to Qiu Wenwu. Coupled with Qiu Wenwu's performance now, there is obviously a ghost in his heart. Chen Ao suddenly felt that things were not so simple.

He vaguely felt that there must be some kind of connection in this, but for a while he couldn't figure out what the connection was.

After a short time, Mrs. Zheng walked into the council hall from the backyard. When she saw a room of people, she was immediately a little surprised, and after saluting everyone, she asked softly: "I don't know what is the important matter for Master Chen Helm to summon the slave family?"

Chen Ao said, "It's not me who called you, it's Elder Yang who has to call you over." I disturbed my lady's rest, and I hope to forgive my sins!"

Zhao Ling had already been a little suspicious of this Mrs. Zheng, and seeing that Chen Ao was still so improper, he couldn't help but step on Chen Ao's instep.

"What are you stepping on me for!" Chen Ao suddenly shouted.

The others endured it and didn't laugh. Some of the elders shook their heads helplessly, quite hating that iron could not be made of steel.

Chen Ao hurriedly gathered his mind and resumed his posture of sitting upright, thinking to himself, Lao Tzu can't be so out of shape anymore, otherwise there will be more and more of Elder Yao's comrades.

Chen Ao coughed dryly twice, and then said, "Elder Yang, now that Mrs. Zheng has come, can you say it?"

Elder Yang nodded and said, "Helmsman, don't hide it. In fact, we are very convinced of Zheng Helm's ability and life. The reason why we have some contempt for Master Zheng is purely because he has a stain! And this stain is his ...... His wife is a red apricot out of the wall and has an affair with someone else!"

Elder Yang seemed to have exhausted all his strength before he finally said these words. As soon as he finished speaking, he gasped for air.

Chen Ao was stunned, his face was full of incredulity, he looked at Elder Yang, and then at Mrs. Zheng. The faces of the people were different, some were indignant, some were disdainful, and some couldn't believe it.

There was silence in the chamber for a moment, and no one knew what to say. Zhao Ling's mind was racing, and he hurriedly asked, "Elder Yang, you said that Mrs. Zheng went out of the wall. And who is she having an affair with?"

Elder Yang turned around and pointed at him, and said loudly, "It's none other than Qiu Wenwu, the head of the Jianghai faction!"

"Huh?" Chen Ao's mind was a mess, and he exclaimed, "What a mess this is!"

Several people in the hall were also mostly surprised. Zhang Jingbin, who coveted Mrs. Zheng's beauty, had a flushed face, and secretly scolded: Lao Tzu still thinks she is a chaste martyr, hum! The surname Qiu sleeps, I can't sleep?

Chen Ao stared at Mrs. Zheng, seeing that her face was blue and white, sometimes gritting her teeth, sometimes frowning and pondering. Chen Ao once learned a little bit of micro-expression, and knew that this kind of expression was by no means what it looked like when he was wronged. He couldn't help but start to doubt it too, but there was one more thing that didn't make sense......

Chen Ao said: "Wait...... Elder Yang, you said that the adulterer was Qiu Wenwu? wouldn't you? Mrs. Zheng...... You obviously came to talk to me today, saying that Qiu Wenwu is most likely the murderer of your husband......"

This incident is exactly what makes Chen Ao a little puzzled. If Mrs. Zheng really had an affair with Qiu Wenwu, she had the evil idea of killing Zheng Wenping. Then Mrs. Zheng should also cover up for Qiu Wenwu, how can she have the reason to denounce the adulterer?

Zhao Ling suddenly sneered and said, "Haven't you figured it out yet? This is Mrs. Zheng's ability." Such a determination to survive with a broken tail is that I will be willing to bow down!"

Chen Ao listened to her sneering, and couldn't help but ask: "What the hell do you mean, don't sell it!"

Zhao Ling said: "Master Zheng Helm died suddenly, and no one found a problem in this matter. Even if he was suspicious, Master Zheng Duo had already been buried, and it was no longer possible to know whether he had died of illness or was victimized. However, last night...... We stumbled into Lord Zheng Helm's tomb by mistake......"

When she said this, she remembered the beautiful scenes of being trapped in the tomb with Chen Ao last night, and her cheeks suddenly flew away. Fortunately, others were shocked by Mrs. Zheng's matter, and no one noticed Zhao Ling's strange appearance.

Zhao Ling said again: "We found something strange on the corpse, and guessed that Lord Zheng Duo was most likely killed by someone." And this morning, Chen Ao told the matter in public. At that time, everyone was there and could hear it clearly. As long as someone thinks about it carefully, who Zheng Duo saw and did before he died, they may be able to guess who the murderer is. So Mrs. Zheng had no choice but to come up with this strategy of surviving with a broken tail and abandoning Qiu Wenwu in order to protect herself!"
