Chapter 197: The evidence is conclusive

The Jianmen tragedy, the interception and killing of martial arts people, and the murder of four upright officials are independent cases, so it is difficult for Yang Zhan to find out who is behind this for a while after being falsely accused of being the murderer. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info It's just that this time I talked about Zhao Chengzong's true identity through Mo Wei, and all this seems to be solved.

Zhao Chengzong is a disciple of the Demon Sect, and in the Sword Gate tragedy, he naturally wants to keep the Demon Sect and the people of the sect secret, and at this time, Yang Zhan, who has just come out of the rivers and lakes and learned from the Crazy Sword Ancestor, has become the best scapegoat. However, in the Jianmen tragedy, there was a lack of human and material evidence, and if Yang Zhan wanted to impose some charges at this moment, he was afraid that everyone would have doubts, so there was a later incident where most of the people in the rivers and lakes were attacked halfway. Because in this way, Yang Zhan seen by the heroes is a character who is afraid of crime and poisons the martial arts, that is, he openly wants to be the enemy of the Central Plains martial arts, and he will inevitably be spurned and blamed by the heroes. As long as the mood of the heroes rises, even if someone says that Yang Zhan wants to seek a dynasty and usurp the throne, they will believe it.

As for the murder of Wang Zhonglu and others, for Zhao Chengzong, it was just a matter that should have been done more than ten years later, after all, some of his plans and deployments had been vaguely brought out because of Fang Shilang's case. But there are also advantages of being late, firstly, it can relieve the hatred in his heart, and secondly, it can also kill people with a knife, so that Yang Zhan will completely become the object of contempt for the entire martial arts. Things have come to this point, presumably Yang Zhan's situation is like a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouts and beats.

Of course, this act of killing people with a knife can also be seen as a way to divide the world, because Zhao Chengzong was also worried that he would discover some things in his early years after mastering Yang Zhan's life experience. And Zhao Chengzong let the fake Tao Yong talk nonsense, so that Yang Zhan hated the four officials who handled the Shilang case, so that no matter what they said, Yang Zhan couldn't listen to it.

Yang Zhan went around for most of the circle before he finally learned who was framing him behind his back, and this person was still the thief who framed his ancestor back then, how could Yang Zhan not be in a hurry to go to Lin'an to find him to take revenge? But Mo Yi dispelled his idea in advance.

"Brother Yang, today's martial arts regard you as an enemy, as soon as you appear, they will attack you in groups, and they can't allow you to say half a word. What's more, Zhao Chengzong was in charge of the alliance leader at the beginning, and he was highly respected by martial arts people from all walks of life, so no one would believe any unfavorable information about him that you say now. Mo Wei said heavily.

"Master Mo is right, if we want everyone to believe that you are innocent, then we have to find more solid evidence. Hua Linglong also agreed.

Yang Zhan thought about it, but he also found that everything he had now was mostly inferred, and there was really no strong evidence to correct Zhao Chengzong. In this way, Yang Zhan calmed down.

But whether it is the Jianmen tragedy or the killing of martial arts people, there is no evidence that Zhao Chengzong planned it, and as for the killing of the four high-ranking officials, Yang Zhan has not completely investigated, so it cannot be regarded as a clear conclusion.

"In fact, the so-called evidence can only confirm my innocence, if you want to avenge the destruction of my grandfather's family, you must let the world know the true identity of Zhao Chengzong. Yang Zhan said silently.

"Indeed, if everyone knows that Zhao Chengzong is Zhao Siyan who plotted a coup d'état, everyone will surely turn against him. All the things he was involved in will also be revisited, and all the wrongs you have suffered now will have a chance to be washed away. Mo Yi said carefully.

Having said that, Zhao Chengzong has been deliberately covering up his true identity, and it is difficult for others to find the slightest clue. Although Yuan Zongliang knew that Zhao Chengzong was Zhao Siyan early on, he was reluctant to make it public, and obviously he would not stand up to help Yang Zhan correct Zhao Chengzong. So everything has to rely on Yang Zhan to investigate and collect evidence by himself.

It's just that when it comes to finding evidence, Yang Zhan must first find out the murder of the current four officials, because in the deaths of Wang Zhonglu and Qiu Guanghan, Zhao Chengzong can be vaguely seen.

"Then I'll go south to Luling and Lingnan to check and see if I can find anything about the deaths of the other two adults. Yang Zhan said.

Mo Zhi repeatedly told Yang Zhan to be careful, because after the questioning meeting, Zhao Chengzong called on the people present to launch a joint encirclement and pursuit of Yang Zhan, and the group of heroes also agreed in a high-pitched manner.

"The murder of these four adults has just been announced, Zhao Chengzong must have expected that you would go to the scene to investigate, maybe he will pursue you according to the map, so be careful in everything. Mo said earnestly.

"Thank you, Mo Rebellion. Yang Zhan said gratefully.

Mo Zhi then rowed the ferry from the middle of the river to the opposite bank, and then said goodbye to Yang Zhan.

Mo Zhi's inference is correct, after the banquet of the Guilty Questioning Conference that day, Zhao Chengzong specially invited the leaders of each faction to come out to discuss the matter, and the content of the discussion was how to arrest Yang Zhan. Although Zhao Chengzong expected that Yang Zhan would go to the scene to investigate, the four officials lived on their own side, and Yang Zhan left two days early, but he didn't know where he would go back.

But Zhao Chengzong was a shrewd man, and although he couldn't be sure of Yang Zhan's whereabouts, he expected that Yang Zhan would eventually appear at Ye Dingchen's residence in Lingnan. First, Lingnan is the most remote, and it must take a lot of time for Yang Zhan to go there; second, from the perspective of the direction, Lingnan is on the southern border, and Yang Zhan will definitely go all the way south if he wants to investigate.

Zhao Chengzong then concentrated the most powerful sect leaders in Lingnan, and the rest of the weaker ones were assigned to Gusu, Chuzhou, and Luling. It's just that the heads of these weaker sects saw that Zhao Chengzong was despising themselves, so they planned to work and deal with it without contribution, although they also set off to the three places according to the explanation, but the ability of grinding foreign workers was fully revealed: everyone walked and watched, or stopped and rested leisurely, and really didn't take this matter to heart.

Because Yang Zhan set off two days early, and he was running all the way, he never met the martial arts people who came to arrest him. When Yang Zhan came to Luling, the place was still calm, and there were not a few people from other places at all.

After Yang Zhan and Hua Linglong entered the Luling area, they rushed directly to Zheng Boliang's retreat, but this place was already secluded, and after Zheng Boliang was killed, the scene was also blocked, and the empty valley was somewhat terrifying.

Yang Zhan was not afraid of this, and when he saw him jump into the courtyard, he looked around. But the house was cleaned up inside and out, but there was no sign of a fight. Yang Zhan then transferred to the backyard to investigate, but found that the pavilion had been half destroyed, and it was obvious that this was the scene of the crime.

Yang Zhan carefully checked around the pavilion: he saw that there were blood stains on the stone steps that continued into the pavilion, and two of the four pillars in the pavilion had fallen, one of which was cut off by himself that day, and the other should have been committed by the murderer at the time of the crime. Yang Zhan touched the cut of the short pillar, but felt that it was smooth everywhere he went, it seemed that the person who shot it was an extraordinary martial artist, otherwise he would not be able to do this.

Yang Zhan suddenly noticed a gap in another pillar, and when he looked closer, he found that it was a trace of a knife blade insertion. Yang Zhan then stretched out his hand and compared the size of the gap, and suddenly became enlightened.

"This knife is thin and narrow, it should have been done by Dongying Sword, could it be that Lord Zheng was also killed by Ye Jingfeng?" Yang Zhan thought secretly in his heart.

But at this time, Yang Zhan turned to the back of the pillar and looked at it, and everything understood. It turned out that there was a cloud-like mark on the outside of the pillar, apparently caused by the pressure of a hard object.

"This is really Ye Jingfeng's doing. Yang Zhan said firmly.

Hua Linglong was puzzled, so she asked, "How did Zhan'er find out?"

"Sister Hua, look at this trace. Yang Zhan pointed to the mark on the pillar and said.

"What is this?" Hua Linglong said confusedly.

"This is the mark left by the blade when the long knife pierces through the column. And throughout the entire martial arts, only Ye Jingfeng's wild goose array knife has a blade of this shape. This is enough to prove that Lord Zheng was killed by him. Yang Zhan said.

Hua Linglong nodded, and said with relief: "God has eyes, this matter can finally get you rid of suspicion." ”

Yang Zhan nodded, and looked around again. After some careful research, Yang Zhan was finally able to restore the scene of Zheng Boliang's murder at that time: Zheng Boliang should have been drinking tea in the pavilion that day, and then Ye Jingfeng suddenly entered, but the space in the pavilion was small, so two pillars were cut off. Zheng Boliang fled after being injured, but Ye Jingfeng chased after him, and he had to turn around the pillar to dodge, so that the column was pierced from the outside to the inside.

Yang Zhan also wanted to know a little bit, that is, when Zheng Boliang was killed, if he knew this, and then contacted Qiu Guanghan's death, he would be able to roughly know what Ye Jingfeng was at that time.

Zheng Boliang is a high-ranking official who has returned to seclusion, and he should be a household name in Luling, and now that he has been killed, it will naturally be known to everyone, so it is not difficult to investigate this.

Yang Zhan got up and walked outside the house, but suddenly saw a thin old man standing outside the courtyard looking at him in surprise. Yang Zhan remembered that this person was the old man who asked him on the road after visiting Zheng Boliang that day, but at this moment he had disguised himself, so he had to pretend not to know.

Yang Zhan may be able to hide from him in his outfit, but Hua Linglong can still see the appearance of a beauty no matter how she dresses up. The thin old man glanced at Hua Linglong carefully, and then angrily raised his cane to chase Yang Zhan.

Yang Zhan grabbed the crutches that came from the split, and said with a straight face: "Old man, why is this?"

"Haha, you look older than me, but you call me an old man? You should be Yang Zhan who killed Lord Zheng, right?" said the thin old man angrily and hatefully.

When Yang Zhan saw that his identity was exposed, he no longer pretended to be old, and only said solemnly: "I am indeed Yang Zhan, but I did not kill Lord Zheng." ”

"That's right, if Master Zheng was killed by us, why should we come back to investigate now?" Hua Linglong also said anxiously.

"Hmph, Hugh is going to deceive the old man. After you left that day, I was afraid that something would happen to Lord Zheng, so I turned back, and I didn't expect Lord Zheng to die in the pavilion. If you are not a murderer, is the old man a murderer?" the thin old man scolded angrily. (To be continued.) )
