Chapter 48 There is no excuse for the sin you want to add
At this time, there was a boo in the crowd, most of the voices were loudly condemning Qi Yaozu's despicability, and some people even threw vegetable leaves and stones to Qi Yaozu on the stage, and Qi Yaozu was embarrassed and indignant in his heart, if he hadn't been caught by Lin Yuanqing's knife on his neck, he would have jumped up and scolded the people in the audience, and now he could only look at Duan Changqing expectantly, hoping that he could help him out of the siege.
Duan Chang cleared his throat, raised his hand to signal, and then said: "Everyone be quiet, bold Qi Yaozu, this official has already said clearly enough before the competition, you still dare to do such a cheap thing... When he said this, Lin Yuanqing suddenly felt that his consciousness began to blur, his body was shaky, and the next moment the whole person had fallen straight to the ground.
Seeing Lin Yuanqing fall to the ground, Yun Menghan hurriedly walked to his side, tore open his trouser legs, and saw that Lin Yuanqing's wound just now was rubbed by the hidden weapon had oozed black blood, and shouted: "The hidden weapon is poisonous!"
Everyone was surprised when they heard this, especially Qi Yaozu, when they heard about Lin Yuanqing's poisoning, their faces turned pale, Duan Changqing also waved his hand with a serious face, and said loudly: "Come on, take down Qi Yaozu for me!" The surrounding officers and soldiers rushed up and tied up Qi Yaozu, who was stunned.
Duan Changqing looked at Tong Yuan again, and the other party nodded and walked in front of Qi Yaozu, and said sharply: "Traitor! Not only did he use a secret weapon, but he was so despicable that he poisoned and killed people!"
Qi Yaozu raised his head with difficulty and looked at Tong Yuan, and said in a tone full of pleading: "Master! Ahh
Tong Yuan turned to Duan Changqing and hugged his fists, and said loudly: "The master is unlucky! There is such a bad man, now I have shattered the meridians of his body, abolished his martial arts, and cleaned up the portal. ”
"Tong Hall Master is righteous to kill relatives, Duan admires, so it seems that Qi Yaozu's matter has nothing to do with the Huanhua Sword Sect, Tong Hall Master, please rest assured, this official will definitely find out the truth and give you a satisfactory explanation. Duan Changqing asked the officers and soldiers to escort Qi Yaozu back to the yamen and temporarily put him in prison.
And Tong Yuan walked to Lin Yuanqing's side at this time, squatted down and took out a small porcelain bottle, handed it to Yun Menghan and said, "This is the 'Qingxin Pill' of the Huanhua Sword Sect, which has the effect of inhibiting poisonous hair, let this little brother Lin take it first." ”
Yun Menghan took the porcelain bottle and replied: "Thank you!" Then he opened the mouth of Lin Yuanqing, who was in a coma, stuffed two pills, and then carried Lin Yuanqing to the Zhou Mansion, and Ye Yuanqing and the others also followed anxiously.
After Duan Changqing saw everyone walking away, he said, "Come on, go to Qi Mansion to invite Mr. Qi." ”
Zhou Kongqi, who was not far away, said loudly at this time: "Lord Duan, if Mr. Qi learns that his son has suffered like this, he may not do anything, and Zhou is willing to go together." ”
Duan Changqing nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll bother Mr. Zhou to make a trip." Then he beckoned to the official behind him and said, "Go back to the house, ascend to the hall!" Tong Yuan led a group of Huanhua disciples to follow.
The surrounding people saw that there was still excitement to see, so they also rushed to the prefect's yamen.
Yun Menghan and the others had already arrived at the Zhou Mansion at this moment, as soon as they entered the door, Lin Yuanqing had already woken up, the wound on his leg was like a burning pain, and he couldn't help but moan, Ye Yuanqing saw that Lin Yuanqing had woken up, and hurriedly came up and asked, "Brother Lin, you have been poisoned! How do you feel now?"
"Big brother, my leg hurts. Lin Yuanqing said weakly lying on Yun Menghan's back, wanting to reach out to touch the wound, but his arm was weak and couldn't lift it.
"Teacher Yun, Brother Lin has woken up, it should be fine, right?" Ye Yuanqing asked with a worried face.
"I don't know, I'll check him in a moment. After Yun Menghan entered the house, he put Lin Yuanqing on the bed and gave him a pulse.
Lin Yuanqing felt that the pain in his leg was spreading to his whole body, and he gritted his teeth in pain, while Yun Menghan also frowned and didn't say a word, Ye Yuanqing hurriedly paced back and forth beside him.
"Damn! Damn Qi Yaozu actually did this! If you can't beat it, you will plot! When Brother Lin is ready, I will let him go!" Ye Yuanqing slammed his fist on the table, and Cui Lingsha next to him also looked at Yun Menghan nervously.
At this time, the door was pushed open, Jiang Wenbin ran in, panting and running to Lin Yuanqing's bedside, took out a porcelain bottle and said, "This is the antidote, give it to Brother Lin quickly." ”
Although Lin Yuanqing was surprised that Jiang Wenbin came to deliver the antidote, but now his head was completely unable to think, Mu Ran took the antidote, Yun Menghan clicked several of his acupuncture points next to him, helped him up, put his palms against his back, and helped him force the poison, after a while, Lin Yuanqing felt much better, and the blood flowing from the wound on his leg gradually turned red.
Yun Menghan withdrew his palms and helped Lin Yuanqing lie down, but Lin Yuanqing asked suspiciously: "Mr. Yun, for some reason, your internal force has a sense of familiarity. ”
"Hehe, Brother Lin is poisoned and hallucinated, you and I are not related, and we are not the same teacher, how can we be familiar with it, you better take care of your injuries. Yun Menghan said with a smile, then got up and said to Ye Yuanqing: "Childe, Brother Lin is no longer in trouble, now there is a good show over there in the Duan Governor's Mansion, why don't you go and see it together?"
"Well, let's go over and take a look! I want to see why this bastard Qi Yaozu did this!" Ye Yuanqing said hatefully.
So Lin Yuanqing stayed in the Zhou Mansion to recuperate, and Yun Menghan led a group of people to the prefect's yamen, at this time the hall was full of people, Duan Changqing sat on the hall, and Qi Yaozu who was still unconscious was lying on his stomach under the hall.
Ye Yuanqing suddenly became much less angry after seeing Qi Yaozu's appearance, and asked, "Teacher Yun, is Qi Yaozu seriously injured?"
"Well, without a miracle, he would have to live in bed for the rest of his life. Yun Menghan replied.
"Ahh Ye Yuanqing's anger was gone, replaced by pity for Qi Yaozu.
"Childe doesn't have to be sentimental, the Qi family has such a big industry, it's still easy to feed a waste, and the target of his secret weapon at that time was actually you. ”
"I?!I haven't had a direct conflict with him, why is his target being me?" Ye Yuanqing asked puzzled after hearing this.
"Hehe, this well, Miss Cui must know. Yun Menghan said with a smile.
Cui Lingsha slowly lowered her head after hearing this, Ye Yuanqing suddenly realized, and then grabbed her hand tightly, Cui Lingsha looked up and saw Ye Yuanqing's bright eyes and smiling face, and suddenly felt a lot more settled.
At this time, the crowd was in a commotion, and it turned out that Qi Xianliang had arrived.
Qi Xianliang, a native of Hangzhou, started by reselling cloth in his early years, and then became bigger and bigger, getting involved in other businesses, and soon ate it all in black and white in Hangzhou, known as the emperor of Hangzhou business.
He walked into the lobby with an anxious face, followed by seven or eight big men in samurai uniforms, and when he saw his son in such a miserable state, he pounced on Qi Yaozu and said in a trembling voice: "Zu'er, wake up, what's wrong with you?!" After calling a few times and seeing no response, he looked up at Duan Changqing and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Duan, why is my ancestor like this?!"
Duan Changqing patted the shocking wood, and said leisurely: "Qi Yaozu used a poison quenching secret weapon during the martial arts competition, and almost injured other people's lives. ”
"Then why do you have to be so heavy-handed?" Qi Xianliang asked hoarsely.
"Clean up the portal. At this time, Tong Yuan, who had been sitting not far away and closed his eyes to recuperate, opened his eyes and said slowly with an expressionless face.
Qi Xianliang's body shook when he heard the voice, he slowly turned his head to look at Tong Yuan, and said with a sad expression: "Tong Hall Master, although my ancestor is stubborn, he will not be treated like this, right?!"
"Hmph, it has always been despised by our martial arts people to hurt people with secret arrows, Qi Yaozu even quenched poison with secret weapons, obviously trying to harm people, how could such a ruthless person let him disturb the century-old prestige of my Huanhua Sword Sect!" Tong Yuan snorted coldly.
"Oh, Lao Qi, don't be sad, the Tong Hall Master just abolished Yaozu's martial arts, and didn't want his life, you quickly take him back to recuperate, it's a big deal to raise him in bed in the future, anyway, you have money, raise him for a lifetime." Zhou Kongqi came up and said at this time.
Qi Xianliang heard Zhou Kongqi say this, hugged Qi Yaozu and trembled, his eyes were full of tears and he choked and said, "My ancestor has become a waster?"
"Oh, while you still have energy, it's not too late to have another son. Zhou Kongqi persuaded.
"You!" Qi Xianliang almost fainted when he heard Zhou Kongqi finish speaking.
Qi Xianliang took a few sharp breaths, looked up at Duan Changqing and said in a choked voice, "My lord, since my ancestor has been punished, can I take him back to recuperate?"
"No, murder pays for life, although he attempted to kill, but most of the laws are not decorations, when he wakes up, I will interrogate, how can it be that you say to take it away?" Duan Changqing said.
"My lord, if he doesn't treat it again, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on!" Qi Xianliang carefully put Qi Yaozu flat on the ground, and the whole person fell to the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic.
"Don't worry, the Tong Hall Master is measured, Qi Yaozu can't die, just now the Tong Hall Master also said that he will wake up in a while, right, Tong Hall Master?" Duan Changqing looked at Tong Yuan after speaking.
"Well, I'm also going to wait for him to wake up and explain in person that what he did has nothing to do with our Huanhua Sword Sect. Tong Yuan said.
"Then my lord, can you let Zu'er go to the back hall to heal?" Qi Xianliang lay on the ground, begging bitterly.
"No, if he wakes up and runs away at that time, can you afford this responsibility?" Duan Changqing said.
"My grandfather is already like this, how can he escape?!"
"He can't run away by himself, but he has a rich and powerful father, no one can say for sure. Zhou Kongqi interjected at the right time.
Seeing Qi Xianliang like this, Ye Yuanqing couldn't bear to say to Yun Menghan: "Teacher Yun, it's okay to let Qi Yaozu go to the back hall to heal, and I always feel that Uncle Zhou is deliberately making things difficult for Qi Xianliang." ”
"Childe is smart, don't be sorry for Qi Xianliang, there were not a few people begging him for mercy like now, and in the end, they were not all thrown into the canal to feed the fish. ”
"Ah, I don't see it, I feel that Qi Xianliang is quite honest, and now he is quite pitiful. Ye Yuanqing said in disbelief.
"At the end of one year, many boatmen fished out hundreds of corpses in the canal, some of them had just died, some of them were already white bones, and no one recognized them, all of which were made by Qi Xianliang. Yun Menghan said casually.
Ye Yuanqing's eyes widened in surprise after hearing this, how could he not connect what Yun Menghan said with the old man in front of him with a sad expression and desperate eyes.
At this time, Qi Xianliang had already given up pleading, he just held Qi Yaozu's body, looked at his son's face blankly, and reached out from time to time to wipe the dust on his face, waiting for Qi Yaozu to wake up.
At this time, the Huanhua disciples behind Tong Yuan began to discuss, but their voices were not low, just enough for everyone to hear, only to hear them: "Hmph, usually Qi Yaozu is overbearing, relying on his family's money or doing wrongdoing, this is good, it is really retribution." ”
"It's just that he looks like a short-lived guy. ”
"Mmmmmm, I heard that some time ago he crippled the little second leg of a restaurant, just because the food was served a little slowly, and after the beating, he claimed to be a disciple of Huanhua, which is really a discredit to our master!"
"It was that time, in the end, our master came forward to visit the little er, and this matter was settled. ”
Qi Xianliang didn't react here, many of the bodyguards who followed him had been with him for a long time, and when he heard someone talking about his young master like this, he naturally refused, and he stepped forward to reason with the other party, and the Huanhua disciples were not vegetarians, and the two sides scolded back and forth for a few words, and they were nervous to start.
"Presumptuous! How can you be allowed to mess around in the public court!" Duan Changqing shouted loudly.
"Ahem... At this time, Qi Yaozu in Qi Xianliang's arms woke up, Qi Xianliang hugged him tightly, and asked with a concerned face: "Zu'er, are you okay?"
"Dad?" Qi Yaozu didn't seem to expect his father to come, and he didn't react for a while.
"Qi Yaozu, what is it about you secretly hurting people with arrows? Duan Changqing saw Qi Yaozu wake up and said hurriedly.
"Lord Duan, I was wronged, the crossbow arrow was given to me by my senior brother Jiang Wenbin, he told me that he wanted me to teach Lin Yuanqing a good lesson, and said that this arrow was just coated with drugs!" Qi Yaozu also knew that this matter was a big problem, so he shook everything out.
"Bastard! Don't say anything about doing a bad thing, you still want to blame my apprentice!" Tong Yuan shouted.
"Jiang Wenbin, Qi Yaozu said that you instructed this matter, what do you say?" Duan Changqing looked at Jiang Wenbin.
"My lord, I have no grievances with Lin Yuanqing and the others, why should I instruct Senior Brother Qi to do such a thing? Besides, I proposed the martial arts competition, if something goes wrong, then I will definitely be the first to be suspected, so why should I lift a stone and shoot myself in the foot? Jiang Wenbin walked to the bottom of the hall and bowed down and said.
"Jiang Wenbin, you hurt me!" Qi Yaozu turned his head to look at him with difficulty after hearing Jiang Wenbin finish speaking, his eyes were full of resentment, and he said hatefully.
"Silence!" Duan Changqing was shocked, and then said: "It is true that Jiang Wenbin said, he has no motive to instruct you to do this, Qi Yaozu, now that the big mistake has been made, I hope you will turn back in time and don't continue to make mistakes." ”
"My lord, what I said is true! Please believe me!" Qi Yaozu shouted with the last of his strength.
"Since you say so, can there be any evidence and physical evidence?" Duan Changqing said.
"This... No, he gave it to me privately. Qi Yaozu replied weakly.
"Since there is no proof that Jiang Wenbin instructed you to do these things, and we have all seen that it was you who released a secret weapon to hurt people, don't you still admit your guilt?!" Duan Changqing said in an aggravated tone, and slapped the shocked wood heavily after speaking.
"My lord, I'm really wronged!" Qi Yaozu defended weakly.
"Still have a hard mouth, come on, put Qi Yaozu in prison, and try him again next month!" Duan Changqing said.
"Dad, I'm really wronged! You want to save me!" Qi Yaozu looked at the official who was walking towards him, and said to Qi Xianliang in a panic.
"Zu'er, I know that you were framed by traitors, I can't spare them!" Qi Xianliang has been in the business world for decades, and now he roughly understands what is happening, he turned his head to look at Tong Yuan and Zhou Kongqi, his eyes revealed a fierce look, and he said: "Slow!"
After hearing this, several officials hesitated, Qi Xianliang stood up and said loudly: "My lord, there is still something strange about this matter, and you can't make a conclusion. ”
Duan Changqing frowned and said, "What's so strange about such an obvious case?" Qi Xianliang, I read your identity, I don't want to use force, if you have any doubts, come back when the trial starts next month! Take Qi Yaozu down to me!"
Several bodyguards were already in front of the officials at this time, and Duan Changqing shouted: "Qi Xianliang, you dare to resist the arrest?!"
"Stand down for me!" Qi Xianliang saw the bodyguard react like this, and shouted in his heart.
At this moment, with a "whoosh", a flying knife flew out from behind and shot at Duan Changqing close to the ears of the bodyguards and officials.
With a "du" sound, the flying knife was inserted into Duan Changqing's official hat and nailed it to the wall behind him, Duan Changqing was stunned for a moment, and then held his head and shouted: "It's the opposite! Qi Xianliang, you dare to kill the imperial court official! Take him down for me!"
Qi Xianliang also looked at the official hat on the wall in shock, and suddenly looked back at the crowd outside the hall, only to see a figure flash, and then disappeared, he turned his head to look at the officials who pounced on him, knowing that now he can't tell even if he is reasonable, he picked up Qi Yaozu and shouted: "Block them for me!"
Several bodyguards blocked the servants, and two bodyguards ran out with Qi Xianliang, while Tong Yuan waved his hand to stop the disciple who was about to catch up, Zhou Kongqi just crossed his arms and looked at everything in front of him with a smile, Ye Yuanqing and Cui Lingsha were dumbfounded, completely ignoring the confident smile on Yun Menghan beside him.
