Before the three of them could walk out of the gate, they saw a group of young people kneeling outside the gate of the mansion crying bitterly, but the people around them looked at each other. These people are members www.biquge.info of the city's righteous society, and they are praised by the people of the time for their many acts of helping the poor on weekdays, but why do they kneel down a dead corrupt official?

Seeing that the surrounding people scolded Wang Zhonglu, the members of the Righteous Society were even more distressed, so they told Wang Zhonglu about the measures taken by Wang Zhonglu to support the Righteous Society for many years. Most of the people present had been funded by the Righteous Society, so naturally they did not dare to doubt what they said, but even if this Lord Wang had made a donation, it still could not offset the fact that he had accepted bribes from corrupt officials everywhere in Gusu over the years. In this way, everyone still looks at each other coldly.

Seeing that the people were so numb, the people of the Righteous Society could only turn over the details of Wang Zhonglu's annual subsidy, and if it was recorded in the account book, Wang Zhonglu's twice-a-year donations were all exhausted. In fact, the people of the Righteous Society all understood Wang Zhonglu's intention of being willing to make friends with corrupt officials from all walks of life, which was nothing more than to use his reputation to build a bridge and return the people's fat and ointment collected by those corrupt officials to the people. It's just that he repeatedly asked everyone to keep it secret before his death, so what people outside saw was just an official who was confused with corrupt officials all day long. Now that he is dead, how can the people of the Righteous Society let him bear these ugly infamys again?

The Association then explained the causes and consequences of these things one by one, and clarified the fact that although Wang Zhonglu accepted money from other corrupt officials, he never helped them. Many officials at the scene immediately turned red and red-eared, but in front of everyone, they didn't dare to be too public, so they had to curse Wang Zhonglu over and over again for being treacherous and untrustworthy.

Only then did everyone believe it, and they all regretted that they had cursed this loyal and treacherous good man every day, and before long, the people outside the door who had been watching the excitement knelt down on the spot. Whether it was out of guilt or gratitude, in short, Wang Zhonglu finally received a fair evaluation after his death.

After seeing such a scene, Taixuan Sanqing understood that the poison in the pastry was not placed by Qiu Guanghan. Because of the personalities and friendship between the two, Wang Zhonglu will definitely secretly inform him of this move, otherwise he will not even lose his best friend? Since the poison on this pastry is not caused by Qiu Guanghan, will it be caused by Yang Zhan? For this point, Tai Xuan Sanqing is negative in his heart, and the reason is very simple, with Yang Zhan's personality, it will never be so troublesome to kill a person. What's more, if the gift he personally sent poisoned Wang Zhonglu, wouldn't it be asking for trouble.

But at this time, Qingxu Zhenren faintly heard that there was an official in the corridor behind him asking about the last scene of the crime, and although the subordinate replied about the same as before, he mentioned the strange scene of the woman who came with Yang Zhan and returned to the mansion after leaving. It's just that this coming and going is a hurried move, which makes the listeners, speakers, and questioners confused.

After Taixuguan Sanqing left Wang Zhonglu's mansion, he revisited this matter in a deserted suburb outside the city. The three of them talked about their assumptions one by one, and although they couldn't reveal the truth of the matter, they also straightened out a path.

"Obviously, Yang Zhan is from Chuzhou. He must have visited Qiu Guanghan before he was entrusted by him to give a gift to Wang Zhonglu. After sending it off, Yang Zhan came to the edge of Taihu Lake and happened to meet the four friends of Taihu Lake. The two somehow fought hard, causing the four friends of Taihu Lake to suffer heavy losses. In the end, another person took the lives of four people. Qingxu Zhenren said.

Lingxu Zhenren and Yuxu Zhenren nodded immediately, if things develop like this, it means that the current two murders directly aimed at Yang Zhan have nothing to do with him. But the current situation is still inferred by the three of them after all, and the only way to confirm it is to go to Chuzhou, if the three of them see Qiu Guanghan, they can ask the ins and outs of the matter.

"Gusu is not too far from Chuzhou, and I also plan to meet this iron-clad old prison army. Qingxu Zhenren said.

Lingxu Zhenren pondered for a moment with other thoughts, and then said cautiously: "Once it is confirmed that Yang Zhan is only giving gifts on his behalf, it means that someone in the martial arts deliberately wants to frame Yang Zhan." Therefore, we must keep our whereabouts secret and must not be easily disclosed. ”

Qingxu Zhenren and Yuxu Zhenren both nodded in approval.

Taixuguan Sanqing immediately headed towards the direction of Chuzhou, but just after Taihu Lake, he met Tieshi Zen on a major road. It turned out that after Tie Shichan notified the four friends of Taihu Lake overnight, he guarded the intersection of the north and south, but whenever there were people in the martial arts who had passed, he explained the news of Yang Zhan's pursuit of the people in the rivers and lakes one by one, so that everyone could stop and hide.

After experiencing the previous incident, Taixuan Sanqing no longer believed that Yang Zhan would do this, so he hurriedly asked for the details of the murder of Hu Banweng and Lu Renjia. Although Tie Shi Chan's description points to Yang Zhan everywhere, Taixuan Sanqing knows very well in his heart that even if Yang Zhan wants to find a martial arts person, he should not be a person whose status in the rivers and lakes is not too outstanding like Hu Banweng and Lu Renjia.

"The three Taoist masters are strong in martial arts, if they meet the thief leader Yang Zhan, they must seek justice for their fellow martial artists. Tieshi Zen said earnestly.

Taixuan Sanqing only reassured him, and then searched all the way according to what he said.

Yesterday, after the battle between Yang Zhan and Lu Renjia at the fork in the road, the pavilion and shop were destroyed.

Lingxu Zhenren then stopped them, and then personally stepped forward to investigate the corpse of Lu Renjia. It's just that this Lu Renjia has no wounds on his body, but his hands and feet are all black, obviously poisoned to death. Sanqing had to be glad that he came early, otherwise the death of Lu Renjia would definitely be made a fuss by the people.

Lingxu Zhenren surveyed the scene again, but hesitated in his heart.

"Can the two junior disciples see the sword marks on that pillar?" asked Lingxu Zhenren.

Qingxu and Yuxu Zhenren nodded, and they were also puzzled by this.

"The sword marks were wide and deep, obviously caused by Lu Renjia's long sword. The innocent man replied.

"That pillar is made of pine wood, and at such a depth, Lu Renjia must not be able to pull it out directly. Lingxu Zhenren said again.

"That's why there are so many knife marks on the pillar, which seems to be caused by Lu Renjia taking the sword. Qingxu Zhenren said.

"If Yang Zhan wants to kill Lu Renjia, how can he give him so much time?" said Yuxu Zhenren with a smile.

Taixuan Sanqing immediately looked at each other and smiled, and then withdrew.

Lu Renjia died at the intersection, and there was a stall Xiaoer who asked someone to clean up, so someone could be regarded as the aftermath. But Hu Banweng died in the deserted road, and when Taixuan Sanqing arrived, he was still lying stiffly in the snow. Although this Hu Banweng is fierce and withdrawn, he is also an upright person after all, and now he has fallen into the wilderness of violent corpses, how can he not make Taixuan Sanqing feel uncomfortable.

Lingxu Zhenren then stepped forward to sweep away the snow on Hu Banweng's body, and then checked his wounds as usual, and the results obtained were very similar to those of the four friends of Taihu Lake.

"Hu Banweng's arms were injured by Yang Zhan. Lingxu Zhenren said, pointing to the wound.

Qingxu Zhenren and Yuxu Zhenren looked down, and really found that although the wound was not deep, the cracking scene was obviously wider than the scar on the neck.

"Whether it is Hu Banweng, Lu Renjia, or the four friends of Taihu Lake, none of them were killed by Yang Zhan, but someone deliberately made up the knife to create a scene that he did. But why is that?" asked the innocent man puzzled.

"Anyway, these successive events show that someone is deliberately framing Yang Zhan. As for why, I think it may have something to do with Yang Zhan's identity. Yuxu Zhenren said.

"Yes, Yang Zhan is the ancestor of the mad knife, when the ancestor of the mad knife slaughtered the rivers and lakes, many sects were wiped out in his hands, and now it is reasonable for someone to seek revenge. Qingxu Zhenren said.

But Lingxu Zhenren said thoughtfully: "Hu Banweng and Lu Renjia died yesterday, Wang Zhonglu and Taihu Siyou died today, but the person who mended the knife was exactly right, which shows that they know Yang Zhan's whereabouts well." ”

Indeed, if someone wants to settle old accounts with Yang Zhan, they can set up an ambush according to his itinerary, so why should they calculate so precisely? Even if this person wants Yang Zhan to become a public enemy of martial arts and end up in ruin, the amount of energy and the far-reaching plan are frightening.

It's just that Lingxu Zhenren said this, but it made Qingxu Zhenren vigilant, if this person really has a thorough grasp of Yang Zhan's whereabouts, then Yang Zhan will definitely not be able to escape his tracking when he goes to Chuzhou. Thinking like this, Qingxu Zhenren didn't say much and pulled up his senior brother and hurried away.

It was still snowing heavily in Chuzhou, and it was very cool inside and outside the city, only Qiu Guanghan's house was crowded with people watching the excitement. Taixuan Sanqing sighed that things were not good, so he went up to check it one after another.

Qiu Guanghan was only found dead in the house at noon today, and the person who found him dead turned out to be Boss He of the candied fruit shop on the outer street. It turned out that Qiu Guanghan liked the honey velvet cake made by Boss He the most, and he had asked for two boxes in his shop before the incident, but there was only one box in the store at that time, so Boss He said that he would send it the next day after it was ready. But the business of the candied fruit shop at the end of the year was too good, and Boss He forgot it when he was busy, so he delayed it for another day before it arrived.

But Qiu Guanghan's mansion was called at the gate and no one answered, Boss He knew that Qiu Guanghan was old, and he was afraid of any accidents, so he called people everywhere to help. It's just that when everyone opened the gate together, Qiu Guanghan and the corpse of the old servant shocked them.

Qiu Guanghan has served in the military camp all his life, and in addition to the errand among the people who came this time, there are also military attachés in the army. The Qingxu Zhenren recognized one of the generals and stepped forward to communicate with him.

"The old prison army has been loyal to the country all his life, I can't imagine that someone will attack him?" said Qingxu Zhenren sadly.

"Hmph! The old prison army is an official who is fair and honest, and it must be done by those traitors in the court. The military general said angrily.

Qingxu Zhenren nodded silently, and then went up to check the scars of Qiu Guanghan and the old servant.

Sure enough, as expected by Qingxu Zhenren, the scars on the necks of these two people are still slender and smooth, which is exactly the same as the wounds of Hu Banweng and Taihu Siyou before. But if you look at it this way, it doesn't mean that other people think the same way. I saw two officials outside the door walking in with a middle-aged man, and then reported to the head catcher.

This middle-aged man was the innkeeper diagonally opposite Qiu Guanghan's house, and Yang Zhan stayed at his inn that day. The innkeeper then told Yang Zhan about his stay and visit to Qiu Guanghan's house a few days ago.

The servant at the scene immediately said categorically: "Qiu Jianjun died on the evening of that day. ”

The scene then pointed the finger directly at Yang Zhan, and both the catcher and the military generals asked the innkeeper for Yang Zhan's information. But the shopkeeper can't provide much useful information, except that everyone knows that Yang Zhan is a young man with a big knife on his back, but it is difficult to gain anything else.

Taixuan Sanqing was secretly surprised, things have developed to this point, and the person who wants to frame Yang Zhan is no longer just a matter as simple as revenge. Wulin has always paid attention to the boundaries of identity, so people who are officials are always insulated from it, but at the moment, there are two reasons for the death of the reclusive members who are related to Yang Zhan, indicating that there are other motives behind it.

Although the Sanqing is an outsider, he also understands the truth of untying the bell and tying the bell, and those who have the heart to get rid of these old ministers must be the powerful ministers of the DPRK and the central government. Because whether it is Qiu Guanghan or Wang Zhonglu, they are both people who have been officials in the court for many years, and the relationship behind them must be deep-rooted, and once they fail, they will inevitably be liquidated.

If the explanation of the matter is like this, then the matter about Yang Zhan's framing is complicated. Because the person who framed Yang Zhan must first have enough ability in the martial arts, otherwise he will not be able to mobilize masters to kill people from all walks of life; secondly, he must have enough contact with the court, otherwise it is unlikely that the ministers in the court will appoint such an important thing for them to do. But whether it is the interception and killing of martial arts people, or the liquidation of the old ministers of the imperial court, the starting point of these two things must be different, so Taixuan Sanqing can now figure out the latter, but he has been puzzled by the former.

Taixuguan Sanqing walked out of Qiu Guanghan's courtyard, although there were many things that he couldn't figure out, but there was one thing that the three of them coincided with. is the person who wants to frame Yang Zhan, and it is very likely that it is Sima Chongcheng. Because he is the current leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, he naturally has enough ability to dispatch manpower, and he is most likely to follow Yang Zhan with dense eyeliner; Other than that, they couldn't think of anyone else.

Just thinking about it like this, the three of them couldn't help but chill. On that day, he not only completed Sima Chongcheng to sit on the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, but also went to Cihang Nunnery with him to encircle and suppress a group of nuns, and now many facts have proved that Yang Zhan is not the one who killed the Hind Zen Master, and it is difficult to infer that Yang Zhan is the leader of the thieves who plagued the Sword Gate.

After some self-blame, Taixuan Sanqing immediately analyzed it carefully. Judging from the things that are currently in hand, what happened before the martial arts conference should not be traced to Yang Zhan, but because of the lack of evidence, they dare not make conclusions. In this way, the matter regresses to the situation of who is harming the Sword Gate, but it is really a headache.

"These people know Yang Zhan's whereabouts, why don't we see what happens next?" said Lingxu Zhenren.
