Chapter Fifty-Six: Calculating Ma Boran

"I have one thing I want to talk to Master Deng...... Ma Boran, who is about to be accepted as a righteous son, seeks verification. Lin Xingyu's mouth and tongue were dry, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva hard to relieve his nervousness, and it took a long time to say this sentence completely.

"This son, down there is Ma Boran, what do you need to ask me for verification," Ma Boran said briskly.

Lin Xingyu turned his head sideways, looked directly at Ma Boran, tried his best to control his trembling hands, and after stabilizing a little, his right hand slowly stretched out behind his head and took off his mask.

"I don't know if my brother can deny me. Lin Xingyu took off his mask, held it in his hand, opened the bow without turning back, his momentum suddenly rose, and a domineering aura rose in his heart, his hand was stable, and his heart was calm.

"Little brother is not a disciple of our Purple Cloud Mountain Villa, is he? Ma Boran frowned, then slowly stretched out, with a smile on his face.

"Then Senior Brother still remember the name Wu Yixiu?"

"Remember, Wu Yixiu was once a teacher, but he did too many unrighteous things, and was rewarded by the imperial court for his life, and was finally killed by You Die. Ma has already abandoned the darkness and changed the court, but fortunately the owner of Deng Zhuang took him in, so that he could live a stable life. Ma Boran sighed.

"What I want to ask Senior Brother is," Lin Xingyu took a step forward, getting closer to Ma Boran, staring at Ma Boran's eyes tightly, the words were sonorous and powerful, "Why did you poison and slaughter Yi'an City back then?"

"I didn't!" Ma Boran's voice suddenly raised, and many guests suddenly looked at it.

"Little brother, don't hearsay and talk about it, the death of 100,000 people in Yi'an City was done by Wu Yixiu, everyone in the rivers and lakes knows about it, and even the imperial court has issued a reward for this matter, does the little brother suspect that the imperial court has also framed Wu Yixiu?" Ma Boran calmed down and said, but his voice was not lowered, as if he wanted the guests present to hear it.

"Senior brother doesn't admit it?" Lin Xingyu asked.

"I didn't do it, why admit it?" Ma Boran swore with a straight back.

"In that case, that's all there is to it. Lin Xingyu clenched his mask and shouted, "Master!"

Wu Yixiu, who was sitting in the corner of the dining table, stood up and took off his mask, attracting the attention of all the guests. The smile on Ma Boran's face remained unchanged, the smile on Deng Chun's face disappeared, and he didn't know what to do, after Deng Xianguang's gaze swept over Wu Yixiu, he stayed directly on Lin Xingyu.

Qin Shuyu's figure jumped and landed on Lin Xingyu's side.

Gu Zhenhong got up and held his gun.

Jiang Jianxue moved a few steps and hid behind Gu Zhenhong.

"Master, it's great that you're still alive! But I've already entered the Purple Cloud Villa, so it's not appropriate for me to continue calling you Master. Ma Boran said in a steady tone.

Wu Yixiu didn't move, just looked at Ma Boran calmly.

"Senior brother, why did you slaughter the city and then blame the master?" Lin Xingyu asked sharply.

"Not me. Ma Boran's eyes swept to the guests who were talking and said indifferently.

"This virtuous nephew, if there is evidence, take it out, if not, don't blame me for doing it. Deng Chun was angry in his heart, and said in a dissatisfied tone.

"Master Deng, don't be impatient, I have all the evidence here," Lin Xingyu pointed to Qin Shuyu beside him, "She is the only survivor in Yi'an City." ”

Ma Boran's eyebrows moved, Lin Xingyu stared at Ma Boran's face all the time, and all the changes were visible.

"But I want to ask him a few questions, because I'm a little confused. ”

"You ask as soon as possible. Deng Chun's tone was very dissatisfied.

"Ma Boran, are you familiar with the use of poison?" Lin Xingyu asked loudly.

Ma Boran looked at Lin Xingyu with disdain, he didn't want to answer him, but he found that Deng Chun was staring at him, so he had to reply, "Generally, I only know a little bit of fur, it's not that Wu Yixiu doesn't teach, but that my talent is too poor and I don't learn well." ”

"How about Wu Yixiu's use of poison?" Lin Xingyu asked a little faster.

"Very proficient. ”

"Then how long will it take for him to slaughter the city?" Lin Xingyu's questioning tone became heavier, and his speed of speech became a little faster.

"It's just a snap of a finger. ”

"What if it's you?" Lin Xingyu spoke faster and his voice deeper.

"I don't have the ability to do that. ”

"Then do you know that there are people in Yi'an City who survived?" Lin Xingyu spoke faster.

"I don't know. ”

"When she was three years old, she saw with her own eyes the poisonous powder you threw into the air! And picked up the evidence you left behind! Keep it to this day!" Lin Xingyu drank violently, startling Ma Boran, and at the same time took out a rag from his arms, which looked very shabby.

"Hahaha, when she was three years old? She's about twenty years old this year, right? The Yi'an City tragedy was ten years ago, and besides, she shouldn't have remembered when she was three years old, right? She picked up the bag left over from Hui Fengluo, and she could still survive? Funny. Ma Boran laughed, as if he had heard a very funny joke.

"How do you know this is a bag in my hand? Lin Xingyu asked in a deep voice.

Ma Boran smiled and heard Lin Xingyu's words with a smile, as if he had been hit hard.

"I used to be Wu Yixiu's apprentice, of course I know. Ma Boran's tone was a little confused.

"Then how do you know that you are using the poison that returns to the wind in Yi'an City?"

"I guessed based on the tragic death of the people in Yi'an City. ”

"You know, she didn't die because she watched you poison you on the walls. ”

"No way, I was on the city wall at the time, there could be no ......" Ma Boran's hurried and quick words came to an abrupt end.

The audience was silent for a moment, all staring at Ma Boran, and no one spoke.

In the next moment, Ma Boran stretched out his hand like a hook, grabbed Deng Xinjing's jade neck, and stepped back.

"Stop, no one is allowed to come in!" Ma Boran held Deng Xinjing hostage and retreated to the main hall, "Old owner, I know how powerful you are, but you'd better not move." ”

Ma Boran slowly retreated to the innermost part of the main hall, and then shouted loudly outside: "Zhuang Master, you and Wu Yixiu and Lin Xingyu come in, and you are only allowed to stand at the door." ”

Deng Chun summoned Lin Xingyu and said to Lin Xingyu viciously: "The little girl is fine, let's be safe, if the little girl has a little mistake, none of you will leave." ”

Deng Xianguang, Deng Chun, Lin Xingyu, Qin Shuyu, Wu Yixiu, and Gu Zhenhong stood at the door of the main hall, and Jiang Jianxue hid outside the door, quietly looking into the main hall, not daring to step into the door.

The main hall is very spacious, 10 zhang long and 8 zhang wide, and there are many chairs around it.

Behind Ma Boran was a luxurious bench covered with a complete tiger skin, with the tiger's head on the ground, facing everyone.

"Place the chair according to my request, Lin Xingyu, you will do it. Ma Boran said to Lin Xingyu from afar, "Put a chair on the third brick on your left, then walk forward with three bricks, put one on the second brick on the right, five bricks backwards, and put a ...... on the fourth brick on the right."

Lin Xingyu put six chairs as requested, then retreated and stood with the others.

"Don't move anyone, I can't control my hands if I move. Ma Boran's fingers were tightly clasped in front of Deng Xinjing's neck, sinking into the pink and tight skin, but fortunately, Deng Xinjing's expression was not painful.

"It's been ten years, it's been ten years, and I can't sleep day and night, and every time I fall asleep, I'm going to have nightmares. Knowing that you were alive, I knew that this day would come sooner or later. Ma Boran whispered to Wu Yixiu, "Master, you have already borne the notoriety, are you still a few years away, just give me a few more years." ”

"It's okay for me to bear this notoriety for you, why are you leaving?" Wu Yixiu spoke, his voice low.

"How can I not leave, after Yi'an destroyed the city, the imperial court issued a heavy money wanted, seventy-two Jinxuansi masters all over the dynasty poured out, the butterfly killer was haunted, and the people in the rivers and lakes were eager to try, no one didn't worry about your head, what can I do? If I don't leave, do I want to die with you?" Ma Boran said.

"Why do you want to slaughter the city?" Qin Shuyu asked.

"Why? hahahaha. Ma Boran laughed, his voice echoing in the main hall, "Why! Ten years ago, my sister died in that ruthless, indifferent, selfish city, we were originally from Nanfeng County, living a rich and healthy life, but she fell in love with the Yi'an City scholar who traveled here but knew how to read poetry, the two got along for a few months, and then began to talk about marriage, and her parents did not agree to this marriage, but my sister insisted on going her own way, and finally her parents could not resist her, so they agreed. ”

"My sister married thousands of miles away in the city of Yi'an, and everything was fine at first, but in just two years, the straw bag scholar failed in the first exam, and only failed in one exam! Speaking of this, Ma Boran's eyes dimmed a lot, pursed his lips, and continued, "After running out of money, that bastard beat and scolded my sister, even more so after drinking, completely ignoring that she was pregnant.

Every time my sister sent a letter back, she always said that she was all right, and we didn't have to worry, until my parents calculated the day, and my sister was about to give birth, so I went with my parents to prepare to take over this little life that was about to be born, and take care of my sister by the way. ”

"My parents and I traveled for a long time to my sister's house in Yi'an City. Do you know what she was like? Do you know?" Ma Boran yelled angrily, "She fell in front of the door with a big belly, a blue nose and a swollen face, her whole body was wounded, her lower body was bleeding profusely, and no passers-by kept passing by came to take a look.

"I picked up my sister and called for help, but the pedestrians on the street avoided me and hid far away, and no one told me even when I asked where the hospital was, so I had to carry her and run to the hospital, and the blood flowed on my hands, fell on my body, stained my clothes, and flowed into my heart. I ran seven streets with her in my arms, no one helped me, no one told me where the hospital was, and by the time I found the hospital, my sister was no longer dead, and the doctor at the hospital saw that people were helpless, and they blew us out. ”
