Chapter 21 Huo Tianqing died
Huo Tianqing left, and he and Lu Xiaofeng agreed to meet at Qingfeng Temple at dusk, instead of waiting until the sunrise tomorrow. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Shanxi Yan and the others are also gone, Huo Tianqing is no longer a disciple of the Heavenly Bird Sect, and this matter is naturally none of their business. In fact, don't look at what Shanxi Yan said well, if you really let him and Huo Tianqing do it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to implement.
Huang Qi, Lu Xiaofeng, and Hua Manlou didn't leave, and the three of them rested in this inn, waiting for the arrival of dusk.
Approaching dusk, the three of them left the inn and walked towards Qingfengguan.
The view of the green wind is on the green mountain, and the green mountain is already outside the sunset.
The faint white clouds drifted away, but they looked like fog. A gust of wind blew, the faint crows among the pines were startled, and the slanting sun in the western sky became even lighter.
The three of them stood outside the Qingfeng Temple, looking at this situation, but they had their own thoughts.
As twilight approached, the heavy door of Qingfeng Temple was finally opened. A yellow-clothed Taoist boy walked out with a lantern in his hand, and someone followed behind him, but it was not Huo Tianqing, but a yellow-robed Taoist person. This person has a wide robe and big sleeves, a white mane and a thin face, with a very serious expression, although his steps are very light and healthy, he doesn't look like he knows martial arts.
The yellow-robed Taoist looked around, then walked straight towards the three of them, saluted with one palm, and asked loudly: "Is there a son of Lu Xiaofeng among the three donors?"
"It's Lu Xiaofeng!" Lu Xiaofeng returned the salute with a fist.
Huang Pao Dao said: "Master Huo Shi and Poor Dao are chess friends, and they have to go to Poor Dao here for a few days every month. This time, he came to invite Lu Gongzi to see Master Huo. ”
Lu Xiaofeng asked, "Master Huo Shi in the mouth of the Taoist Chief, but Huo Tianqing?"
"Exactly!" the yellow-robed Daoist nodded and said, "Lord Huo Shi has been waiting in the cloud room of the poor road for a long time. ”
Following the yellow-robed Taoist, the three of them walked into the Taoist temple and came to a small courtyard. The courtyard was surprisingly quiet, the cigarettes drifted in the half-open windows, the faint talk scattered with the wind, and the door was empty.
When I walked through the small courtyard and opened the door and entered the room, I saw Huo Tianqing, who was already dead, and Huo Tianqing fell on the cloud bed in the room. On the lower part of the cloud bed, there was a dragon cup carved from jasper, and there was still some wine in the cup. At first glance, it is clear that this is a cup of poisoned wine.
Huo Tianqing's face was dead gray, and the blood stains that had been wiped clean could be faintly seen under the corners of his eyes and nose, obviously this was the action of the yellow-robed Daoist.
Without waiting for the three of them to speak, the yellow-robed Taoist said with a very gloomy expression: "When he came, I thought he was here to play the unfinished game of chess yesterday, and I was waiting to see what new things he could do to escape that catastrophe? ”
Lu Xiaofeng's heart moved when he heard this, and asked, "He just wants to drink?"
The yellow-robed Taoist nodded and said, "At that time, Poor Dao saw that his expression was different, as if he was preoccupied, and he kept sighing and muttering to himself. ”
Lu Xiaofeng asked again, "What did he say?"
The yellow-robed Taoist replied: "He seems to be talking about a hundred years of life, and it will pass in a blink of an eye, and he said that since there is him Huo Tianqing in this world, why should there be an extra Lu Xiaofeng." ”
Huang Qi suddenly asked, "You prepared this wine for him?"
The yellow-robed Taoist glanced at Huang Qi and replied: "Although the wine is owned here, the wine glass is brought by himself, he is always clean, and he never uses things that others have used. ”
Lu Xiaofeng picked up the wine glass and sniffed it when he heard this, frowning slightly: "The poison is really on the wine glass." ”
Huang Pao Dao said: "He picked up the wine glass several times and put it down, as if he had encountered a difficult chess move, he was undecided, and when the poor Dao was strange, he looked up and laughed three times, and then drank the wine in the cup." Poor Dao really didn't expect that he had seen through the world at a young age, and I hope he would return to Daoshan as soon as possible. ”
"Dao Chief, why did you kill Huo Tianqing?"
Huang Qi suddenly asked, his words were really earth-shattering, and all three people in the room looked at him.
The expression of the yellow-robed Taoist remained unchanged, but he said strangely: "Poor Dao and the donor met for the first time, and there is no grudge, why did the donor say that the poor Dao killed Huo Shizhu?"
Lu Xiaofeng knew that Huang Qi would not say this for no reason, and there must be a reason for saying this, so he didn't interject loudly, just stood quietly next to him.
Huang Qi asked aloud: "You just said, do you think he came here to play the unfinished chess game yesterday, right?"
The yellow-robed Taoist nodded, and said puzzledly: "Naturally it's right, what's the problem with this?"
The Yellow Robe Daoist didn't understand, but Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou understood the meaning of Huang Qi's words, because the time when Shangguan Feiyan died was yesterday, if Huo Tianqing played chess here, then not to mention anything else, at least the person who killed Shangguan Feiyan would definitely not be him.
And Huo Tianqing is not the murderer who killed Shangguan Feiyan, so his purpose for asking Lu Xiaofeng to come here is obvious, obviously to ask the yellow-robed Taoist to testify against him. If someone can prove that he is not the murderer, then what reason does he have for committing suicide? There is no other possibility than that he kills.
Huo Tianqing's martial arts are extremely high, and he knows that he was poisoned by looking at him, and being poisoned here, can it be someone else except the yellow-robed Taoist he trusts?
Lu Xiaofeng thought clearly about the key to it, knowing that he was afraid that he had misunderstood Huo Tianqing, and looked at the yellow-robed Daodao: "Dao Chief, you are a monk, you don't want to have such a vicious heart. Tell me, who the hell told you to kill?"
The yellow-robed Daoist's face changed slightly: "Poor Dao doesn't know what Lu Gongzi means by this!"
Lu Xiaofeng heard this and said: "Dao Chief, Huo Tianqing asked me to meet here this time, in fact, he needs you to testify for him and prove that he played chess with you here yesterday. Now that he has found a witness, he will not commit suicide, so the reason why he was poisoned is naturally your fault. ”
"Alas!"
The yellow-robed Taoist sighed abruptly, and said with a miserable face: "What a sin! That's right, Master Huo Shi was indeed killed by Poor Dao, and it was Poor Dao who smeared the poison on the cup when he was not paying attention." ”
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Dao Chang and Huo Tianqing have no grievances or hatreds, they must have been instructed, let's talk about who that person is." ”
Hearing this, the yellow-robed Daoist shook his head and said: "Poor Dao doesn't know who that person is, only that this matter must be related to the owner of the Qingfeng View property, this person has the ownership of the land where the Qingfeng Temple is located, and he used this to threaten Poor Dao, and Poor Dao had to compromise. ”
"It seems that after turning around, we still have to see him again!" Lu Xiaofeng looked at Huang Qi and Hua Manlou when he heard this.
Huang Qi and Hua Manlou understood what Lu Xiaofeng meant, and each nodded, quite agreeing with his words. (To be continued.) )
