As soon as this statement came out.
Everyone present was stunned, and their hearts were secretly speechless.
The statement that Su Chang'an colluded with the demon clan and harmed Yuheng was spread among the people, and it even reached the point of being false.
But after all, they are just ordinary people, and in terms of vision and resourcefulness, they are more than a step behind everyone present.
Not to mention what good it would be for Su Chang'an, a boy from the Prosperous Morning Realm, to collude with the demon clan to murder Yuheng, just how could he hide the eyes of countless powerful people in Chang'an City and bring the so-called demon into Chang'an was a huge problem.
Besides, back then, Yingfu was able to pretend to be a human race and blend into Tianlan, it was because she was a star herself, and if she knew some secret techniques unknown to the demon clan, it would be reasonable to confuse the public.
And when Su Changan first arrived in Chang'an, he hadn't even cultivated the spirit gathering, so couldn't he see through his purpose with Lord Yuheng's ability to reach the sky?
Therefore, the loopholes in this message are too big, and everyone only thinks that it is behind those who want to make a move against Tianlan Courtyard, and they want to put some pressure on Su Changan.
If you want such a non-existent thing, you can easily bring down the Tianlan Courtyard, which has stood for nearly a thousand years, and it is too stupid to talk about it.
Of course, there is no shortage of such self-righteous people in this world.
For example, this Du Hongchang in front of him.
The reputation of this son of a god general in Chang'an City is not very good, especially when his father Wei Lingshen is alive, although he has not done such a vicious thing as bullying men and women in Chang'an City by virtue of his own identity, he has not done anything less about self-esteem and humiliating others. Now that his father is dead, he has recently resented. But he never imagined that at this banquet of the hundred courts, he proposed the ruling of the hundred courts, in a vain attempt to bring down the Tianlan Court for such a ridiculous reason. Whether this action was out of his original intention, or the instructions of the Eight Desolations behind it, it seemed too naΓ―ve.
But Su Changan didn't think so in his heart, he didn't know who this Du Hongchang in front of him was and by what means. But one thing is certain, this Du Hongchang, who doesn't know whether he is a human or a ghost, must have the shadow of Sima Xu behind him. And with Su Changan's understanding of Sima Xu, if he can instruct Du Hongchang to talk about this matter, then he must have something to rely on before he dares to mention this matter.
For this reason, Su Changan and Gu Xianjun glanced at each other, and they both saw a touch of solemnity in each other's eyes.
And just when the doubts around him gradually rose, Du Hongchang smiled again, looked around at the crowd and said: "Don't worry, Du dares to say this, naturally there is Du Mou's reason, and you will listen to me for you one by one." When Du Mou finishes his words, there will be justice on the merits. β
His attitude is very humble, and the wording and logic of what he says are impossible to find fault with at all.
Therefore, these people who were already dissatisfied with him in their hearts had to temporarily suppress the unhappiness in their hearts and wait for his next step.
When the hall was quiet, Du Hongchang bowed down and saluted everyone before continuing.
"Everyone knows that there have been some rumors in Chang'an City in the past few days, saying that Su Chang'an and Su Gongzi colluded with foreign clans to harm the Yuheng Sage, causing his soul to return to the sea of stars. β
"What these people say is naturally unsubstantiated and untrue. But there is a way that there is no wind and no waves, and this thing must have an origin. β
"Naturally, I didn't believe it at the beginning, and although I had a misunderstanding with Su Gongzi at the Jiangxing Conference, I really admired Su Gongzi as a person in my heart. Therefore, after hearing about this, he secretly felt sorry for Su Gongzi in his heart, so he had the idea of finding out the rumors behind him. β
"But I don't want to, but this investigation, but I know something appalling. β
Speaking of this, he paused, his eyes narrowed and looked around at the people around him, seeing that everyone looked like they were holding their breath, and seemed to care about what he didn't say later. He was proud and knew that his goal had been achieved, so he squinted his eyes and glanced at Su Changan, who had a solemn expression on the side, before he continued.
"There are many versions of this rumor, but in the final analysis, it is nothing more than Su Gongzi colluding with the demon clan. If you want to know the truth of the matter, as long as you find out Su Gongzi's life experience, the rumors will be self-defeating. That's what I thought at the time. β
"But where did Su Gongzi come from? I think most people and I generally know nothing more than that. More than two years ago, Su Gongzi met Mo Tingyu who was in the north to cut Yingyu, and was accepted as his successor, and then was recalled to Chang'an by Lord Yuheng, yes or no?"
After he said this, he glanced around at everyone again, and saw that they all nodded secretly. At this point, the smile on the corner of Du Hong's mouth was even worse, he paced lightly, and seemingly inadvertently walked to Su Changan, looking at the young man in front of him condescendingly, his originally hearty voice suddenly became gloomy at this time.
"Then there will be a good thing to ask Su Gongzi for advice. β
"Su Gongzi once said, don't listen to the rain in the north to behead the demon girl Yingfu, I want to ask, is this true or false?"
Su Changan was stunned when he heard this, Mo Tingyu did carry a knife to the north back then, and he did try to kill Wutong. But in the end, he gave up his life to save her.
Naturally, this is a nonsense that does not make sense.
But don't listen to what Yu and Wutong experienced back then, outsiders don't know, and Su Changan doesn't know.
Therefore, Mo Tingyu's choice is not understood by outsiders, but Su Changan understands a little.
Mo Tingyu certainly likes Wutong, but at the same time, he also respects his master. Otherwise, there would not have been ten years of hiding swords and going to the north with troops.
Therefore, he naturally has to give an explanation to himself and the people of the world.
He was reluctant to shake the light to death, nor was he willing to die of the sycamore.
But ten years ago, he shook the light and died, so it is destined that he and Wutong need to die again, otherwise how to block the mouth of the people of the world?
Ten years ago, he made a decisive choice.
Ten years later, when he faced her, he suddenly found that his heart could not be as sharp as the knife in his hand.
Therefore, he chose to use his death to resolve the grievances and hatreds of the past ten years.
In this world, it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, and it is difficult to understand true feelings and false meanings.
Since there is such a disturbance, it is better to go back. The things that are behind will be left for posterity to comment.
Of course, this is not a principle that can be accepted by most people.
Therefore, Su Changan has always been tight-lipped about this matter.
Therefore, he looked directly into Du Hongchang's eyes, nodded and said, "Yes, the Glowing Star is indeed extinguished." β
This is naturally the truth, one night in the north, the stars fall, this is a thing that the world can see.
"Really?" seemed to get the answer he wanted, and the smile on the corner of Du Hong's long mouth became more and more clear.
His ghost-like voice suddenly sounded, making the calmness on Su Changan's face shatter at that moment!
"Then why did someone see the flickering of the glowing star a month ago!"
