Chapter 20 Love and Righteousness Are Difficult to Fulfill
Hearing that, Li Xiaoli suddenly identified Wu San as the murderer, except for Shen Yi, the faces of everyone in the wine hall changed greatly.
Gong Qianshan stared at Wu San hard, lowered his head and said to Li Xiaoli: "Xiaoli, this matter is important, don't joke, are you sure?"
Li Xiaoli's voice was immature, but he was very resolute, he still stretched out his hand and pointed at Wu San, and said: "It's him, I will never forget the accent when he said the word Jiangnan." ”
Ou Jingtian looked at Wu San, his eyes shining like the Seven Treasure Knife, and said, "Shopkeeper Wu, can you show your left hand?"
Wu San's face changed, but he turned back to Shen Yi and said, "Shen Daxia, the time has not yet come, I can't die yet." ”
Shen Yi sighed secretly, stood up, walked to Wu San's side, and said to Ou Jingtian: "This case has been taken over by Qingtian Mansion, Wu San is an important witness, and no one can move." ”
Ou Jingtian squinted his eyes at Shen Yi, and his hand was already holding the hilt of the Qibao Knife.
Gong Qianshan shouted, pulled out the long sword at his waist, rushed forward, his face was full of grief and indignation, and said in a trembling voice: "Shen Daxia, this person may be the murderer of my brother-in-law, please let Shen Daxia let me take this person away for careful interrogation." ”
Shen Yi shook his head and said, "Shen has said that no one will be allowed to lynch, not to mention that this person is already under my control, let alone in the hands of others." ”
Gong Qianshan wanted to say something, and even had the urge to stab the long sword in his hand, but seeing Shen Yi's calm and bright eyes, he actually failed to raise the sword, but he was unwilling to retreat like this, just stood in front of Shen Yi, stalemate.
Shen Yi's body was like a strong pine, stopped in front of Wu San, did not retreat or speak, and looked at Gong Qianshan quietly.
Gong Qianshan was furious by these beautiful eyes, and seemed to have seen through everything, so he couldn't help but smile, slowed down, and said: "Why did Shen Daxia come forward as a murderer, didn't we all come from the rivers and lakes? ”
Shen Yi said unhurriedly: "Skynet is restored and not leaked, the murderer will definitely get a fair verdict, this is a matter under the jurisdiction of Qingtian Mansion, it must be handled impartially, it is not a grudge between the rivers and lakes, and private revenge is not allowed." ”
I only felt that Shen Yi's compelling momentum was unstoppable, Gong Qianshan wanted to laugh, grinned, but failed to laugh, a chill rose from his back, and he involuntarily took a step back, and then took another step back.
He stepped back, but Ou Jingtian stood forward, holding the Qibao knife hanging from his waist in his hand, looking directly at Shen Yi with his eyes, and said word by word: "I was born in the rivers and lakes, I am not a person from the government and temples, and I don't know any big truths. ”
Shen Yi also looked at him and said calmly: "A person's life and death are small, there is no exception before the law, whether you are a high-ranking official or a reckless person, you must act according to the law, this is Shen Yi's duty." ”
"Well, you stick to your duty, and I have my own morality. You have to keep people, I want to bring people, you and I must come to a conclusion. ”
Shen Yi naturally understood what he meant by this, the people in the rivers and lakes have their own reasons, and they can only fight by force. His face was still calm, his eyes were still clear, but his face was a little pale. This is not the first time he has encountered such a thing, and it will never be the last. Since the day he decided to devote himself to Qingtianfu, he has been ready, ready to do his best at any time, and to give an explanation to his friends in the rivers and lakes.
Liu Qingyun coughed lightly and said, "Brother Ou, Shen ......"
Ou Jingtian interrupted him and said, "Third brother, if you still want to call me Brother Ou in the future, then you will testify for us outside the town tomorrow." After he finished speaking, he didn't look at Shen Yi anymore, turned around and brushed his sleeves away.
The lights and candles in the room are bright, which is the most peaceful time of the day, but at this time, it makes people feel anxious and depressed.
Shen Yi sat quietly at the table, his head bowed. Within reach of his hand, there was the ancient name Blade Dragon. But now, even the sword that has always been sharp and incomparable seems to have infected the master's mood, a little dazed, and a little sad.
Liu Qingyun was sitting opposite Shen Yi, wiping his saber with a silk scarf, seemingly concentrating, but peeking at Shen Yi from time to time.
Hua Susu pouted and leaned against the window, huffing and puffing, not knowing who she was angry with, but she was not in the mood to talk to Liu Qingyun at all.
Liu Qingyun couldn't help it in the end, and threw the saber on the table.
Shen Yi glanced up at him and then looked away.
Hua Susu scolded: "Third brother, what are you crazy about? In the dead of night, you want to scare people to death?"
Liu Qingyun ignored her, looked at Shen Yi's eyes full of anger, and said, "You must go to tomorrow's competition?"
Shen Yi smiled and said, "I must go." ”
Liu Qingyun barely suppressed the inexplicable anger in his heart and said, "You already know that Wu San is likely to be the murderer of Li Lilong?"
Shen Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "Not bad." ”
"Killing pays for life, Gong Qianshan avenges his brother-in-law, what's wrong?" Liu Qingyun said.
"Murder pays for life, Qingtianfu will naturally punish the murderer in accordance with the law. Shen Yi said.
"You ......" Liu Qingyun lowered his voice and said, "Do you know how many chivalrous people in the rivers and lakes scold you for seeking profit and forgetting your roots?"
Shen Yi still smiled faintly and said, "I only do what I have to do, and I don't care what others think or say." ”
Liu Qingyun was angry, glared at him for a long time before saying: "Brother Ou has been anxious for justice and righteousness all his life, and has done countless chivalrous things, and he is also known as your northern and southern heroes. This place is in the middle of nowhere, why don't you push the boat down the river to do a favor and hand over the sneaky Wu San to him, and then you just say that it is the rivers and lakes to seek revenge, won't it be over?"
Shen Yi looked at him and said slowly: "Thank you Brother Liu for thinking about me, but I have seen this with my own eyes, and I can't pretend to seek revenge from the rivers and lakes, so as to evade responsibility." ”
Liu Qingyun said angrily: "You are really thinking about your government, have you forgotten the chivalry of the rivers and lakes? Have you really become a ruthless and unrighteous person?"
Shen Yi gritted his teeth and said, "What Brother Liu said is right, before the law, I am indeed ruthless and unjust. ”
"You ......" Liu Qingyun suppressed his anger, slowed down his voice and said, "Then you look at my face......"
Shen Yi shook his head.
Liu Qingyun slapped the table and shouted: "Shen Yi, I really misjudged you, for the sake of your reputation in the rivers and lakes, I hope you will be defeated by Brother Ou's Qibao Sword tomorrow." ”
Shen Yi smiled and said: "My personal victory or defeat does not affect the justice of the law at all, no matter whether I lose or win, I will not hand over Wu San to Ou Daxia." ”
Liu Qingyun stretched out his hand and pointed at Shen Yi, so angry that he couldn't speak, turned his head to Hua Susu and said, "Little sister, let's go, don't delay Lord Shen's official business here." ”
Shen Yi didn't speak, nor did he turn around to stop him, but his eyes in front of him had become pitch black, so black that they seemed to be bottomless, and there was too much pain and helplessness hidden in them, and he also had firm belief and determination.
Liu Qingyun took Hua Susu to leave Shen Yi's room angrily, walked outside the inn, and took a long breath.
Although the night air was cool and pleasant, it could not quench the anxiety in his heart.
Hua Susu still pouted, not knowing who she was angry with, but there were tears in her eyes. She said, "What should I do? Tomorrow they will really fight." Third brother, you quickly think of a way. ”
Liu Qingyun sighed and said, "What can I do? You can also see that the kid's temperament is so stubborn, even the gods can't stop what he thinks he wants to do." ”
Hua Susu said: "Are we just watching them fight like this?"
Liu Qingyun didn't speak, but kept shaking his head and sighing.
Hua Susu lowered her head and thought about it, and then asked: "I don't know who has higher martial arts skills between Brother Ou and Brother Shen?" She has been thinking about this question in her heart, on the one hand, because of some very special feelings, she wants Shen Yitian to win, but on the other hand, she wants Ou Jingtian to win. If Ou Jingtian wins and forcibly takes Wu San away, Shen Yi will not be in a dilemma, and he will not be scolded as a traitor for this matter.
"If it were usual, I would really like to see them fight this fight, but now ......" Liu Qingyun is also a good martial artist after all, although there are many helplessness in this competition, he still can't help but guess, and muttered: "If you want to talk about weapons, the Qibao Sword is on par with Xiaolong, but if you want to talk about martial arts, now Shen Yi's injury has not healed, I'm afraid that his skills are a little worse." ”
Hua Susu retorted eagerly, "Who said that, although Brother Shen is injured, but Brother Ou is also poisoned and loses internal strength, it is difficult to say who wins and who loses." I'm optimistic about Brother Shen, Brother Shen's light skills and swordsmanship are outstanding, unparalleled in the world, and he will definitely win. ”
Liu Qingyun sneered and said, "I knew you were optimistic about that Brother Shen." When he said the three words of Brother Shen, he deliberately pinched his throat and learned what Hua Susu said delicately.
Hua Suliu glanced at him and said, "I'm just optimistic about Brother Shen, how about it? Are you not convinced? If you are not convinced, you can also go up to compete." ”
The smile on Liu Qingyun's face faded, and he looked at Hua Susu very seriously and said, "Seriously, if it were me who went to compete, would you be optimistic about me?"
Hua Susu was laughing, but seeing his expression, he suddenly understood his thoughts, and his intestines turned around, but he still pretended to be joking, and said, "Of course I will be optimistic about you, and I will be optimistic about you losing." ”
The disappointment in Liu Qingyun's eyes flashed, but he also looked angry on his face, and said, "Could it be that in your heart, my martial arts are so poor?"
Hua Susu couldn't bear to tease him anymore, and said seriously: "I don't know, what do you think of yourself?"
Liu Qingyun thought for a while and said, "I have my own expertise in martial arts, but if I really try it, I'm afraid I will be slightly inferior to the two of them...... As for the two of them, who can determine who will win and who will lose until the final result of the competition is reached? ”
When Hua Susu heard this, he became anxious again, "Third brother, if the two tigers fight, there will be an injury, you better think of a way to stop the competition." ”
Liu Qingyun rolled his eyes a few times, patted his thigh, and said, "There is a way." ”
Hua Susu hurriedly asked, "What way?"
Liu Qingyun said with a serious face: "I can drug that kid in his tea and charm him, or take advantage of his inattention to order his acupoints, or simply knock him unconscious." ”
Hua Susu looked at him with his mouth open, and said after a while: "Really?"
"Fake. Liu Qingyun sighed and said, "Unless they give up themselves, no one in this world can stop this competition." ”
