Deputy head

[-]

People from the new sect could not find Wen Wulin before, precisely because Wen Wulin was locked in this secret room.

Most of Wen Wulin's subordinates were from Huayumen, if Hua Qizheng just locked Wen Wulin up, then it is impossible for his subordinates to fail to find him.If they can't find it, there are only three possibilities: one is that the person is not in Huayumen, the other is that Wen Wulin is hidden in a place that Huayumen's disciples don't know, and the third is that Wen Wulin has encountered an accident and his body was taken away. Handle clean.

But it is impossible for Hua Qi to kill Wen Wulin, nor is it possible to let Wen Wulin go home.

The reason why I am so sure is because Hua Qizheng's behavior is too abnormal.

If he wanted to kill Wen Wulin, he should act secretly like before.But now everyone knows that Wen Wulin and Hua Qi are having a quarrel, and Wen Wulin was taken away by the people of Huayumen. If Wen Wulin makes a mistake, everyone will think that Hua Qi is killing him. he.This is the crime of killing parents and children. Once it is implemented, there will be follow-up means of whitewashing, and it will be quite troublesome to use. What's more, Huayumen is also in troubled times at this time, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no mistakes.

Since I can think of these questions, Hua Qizheng, who is the head of Huayumen, should understand even more.But even so, he still abducted Wen Wulin openly and forcibly, and it was definitely not just to kill Wen Wulin. Therefore, there was only one possibility left, even though it seemed the most unlikely——Wen Wulin was captured by Wen Wulin. Hidden in the secret room.

Wen Wulin was locked in a secret room, and even with dogs and other animals with sharp noses, he searched for it. After a few days, the smell dissipated, and someone deliberately disturbed him, even though the thick walls might not find him.

As for when Hua Qi discovered this secret room, I speculate that this should be a recent event.

Recently, Huayumen has been pushed to the top of the storm by public opinion. Everyone in the world is staring at Huayumen, and Rong Cheng and I have contributed to it. Because of the treasures of the previous dynasty, Huayumen has finally become extremely suspicious. If he was caught, even if there was only one reason, the imperial court would never let Hua Yumen go.After all, Huayumen made a guarantee for the court.

As I said before, there are rules of the rivers and lakes, and the court should not intervene indiscriminately, but once the court has to intervene, there is no way.

Jianghu people can't make guarantees casually. As a restriction, before the end of the business, the people in the Jianghu who guarantee the court must be restricted by the court's laws.If the guarantor violates the law, the imperial court can deal with it according to law, and there will be no objection in the world.

Previously, Huayumen learned the false news about the remnants of the previous dynasty. In order to take advantage of the opportunity to destroy the Bronze Sect, they made a guarantee for the court. The fire burned his upper body, and if something went wrong again, what awaited Hua Yumen would be an abyss.In addition, Wen Wulin suddenly led the new faction and the old faction to tear their faces apart, as if... they had some evidence, so they were full of confidence.Although everything proceeded naturally, Hua Qi, as the person involved, would not simply believe that it was a coincidence, and he would inevitably become suspicious.

In fact, he really suspected that someone was manipulating it secretly. When I walked up to Wen Wulin, he said that I was the culprit. Of course, this is indeed true.

At this time, Huayumen could not take half a step wrong. If any clues to the previous dynasty were found, Huayumen would never be able to clear up their guilt.However, Hua Yumen was originally located in the imperial palace of the former dynasty, and Jiu Fangrong was still arrested here. It is hard to say whether Hua Qizheng would have thought of such things as secret rooms and secret doors. Now that he thought of it, he would naturally search for it Only then can you feel at ease.

So, he finally found this secret room that was easy to find.

Since Hua Qizheng opened this secret room, he naturally saw the gold ingots with the official seal of the previous dynasty.These gold ingots were already on the island when my father was still there, and it was Jiufang who transferred them here.Nowadays, these gold ingots have become the "treasures of the previous dynasty" in the outside world. Once discovered, they will become the nails in the coffin of Huayumen.

There are a lot of gold ingots. If you want to transfer them out in a short time, you can either use corridor bridges or water transportation. The long covered bridge decks have gone through years, and carriages carrying heavy loads will easily leave ruts; The transportation is even more conspicuous, and it cannot escape the eyes of the outside world; it is unrealistic to bury it on the spot, and digging the soil is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. Even if the problem of manpower is not considered, once it rains, the ground surface buried with such a large number of gold ingots will subside to some extent. In this way, there is a risk of being discovered; it is even more difficult to refine gold ingots. How to deal with the smoke when setting up a stove and setting up a fire?How to cover up the sound?These methods are too ostentatious and cannot be easily deceived. There are many people with mixed opinions. Once the news is leaked, it is equivalent to directly confirming the guilt of Hua Yumen and sentenced Hua Yumen to death.Of course, it is also possible to pretend that these gold ingots have never been found and leave them in the secret room, but this is even more dangerous. If someone under Wen Wulin really knows the existence of these gold ingots, then this is no different Yu waited to die.

If ordinary people come to this point, they will have nowhere to go, and they can only accept their fate and wait for the moment when the guillotine falls.But who is Hua Qi? If he could give up so easily, he wouldn't have killed everyone around me back then.

Hua Qi was thinking of a way out, which was also the most direct reason why he sent someone to take Wen Wulin away - to push everything on Wen Wulin.

In order to let everyone know that he broke with Wen Wulin completely, Hua Qi is deliberately sending his disciples to abduct Wen Wulin in a grandiose manner on the street, creating an air of righteousness and confidence.When Wen Wulin's subordinates lost their composure, they took advantage of the opportunity to lure these subordinates to the island, defeated them with a net of heaven and earth, weakened their strength, and then threatened the rest of them with Wen Wulin's life, and punished the survivors. Those who manipulated and controlled them, and forced them to do things that the remnants of the former dynasty would do. In this way, it was possible to further create the illusion that "Wen Wulin and his subordinates are remnants of the previous dynasty", and then produce some false evidence , to create the illusion that he learned the truth by following the clues, and handed over the half-dead Wen Wulin to the government.

So far, all the sins of Hua Yumen have become Wen Wulin's conspiracy, even if there are any problems, they can be pushed to Wen Wulin.Although the old sect of Huayumen still committed crimes, their crimes did not result in death. Hua Qizheng, as the head of Huayumen, even made up for it. play.

How should I put it, it is Hua Qizheng, even though I know Zhuxian Island and Huayumen so well, I almost fell for him.

But only "almost".

If he doesn't die, I won't let him go. How could I let myself be defeated by him again? Even if I die, I will never let the past happen again.

Over the years, I have had little free time, not only because of the many affairs of the Bronze School, but also because I have never let up.Whenever I have free time, I devote all my energy to thinking. I put every decision Hua Qi has been making and everything he has accomplished over the years into my head, thinking over and over again, constantly speculating on his thinking process and his thoughts. Behavioral preferences, try to figure out his every move.

If I think about what he thinks and think about what he thinks all day long, then, when faced with the same problem, I can also think of everything he can think of.Hua Qi was trying to get away with Wen Wulin, how could I not think of it.

"The head of the sect said that my young master is a remnant of the previous dynasty, so just rely on the gold in this room?"

Just as Hua Qi finished testifying against Wen Wulin, I hurriedly interrupted Master Zhu who wanted to ask questions.

Hua Qizheng immediately changed his face: "The thief from the previous court dares to talk too much!"

As he said that, he slapped me with his palm, and Rong Chengxun turned sideways, holding the Wuming sword in his hand, he could barely block the blow, then he turned around to Master Zhu, and said in a low voice: "Master Zhu, what is the matter?" There is another hidden story, my son is wronged, please listen to him, if we mess around, you can immediately arrest us and bring us to justice, but if there are other truths, if you bring up the case again in the future, and there are omissions, then... then I can no longer argue with the people above." The implication of Rong Cheng's words is very clear, if Master Zhu ends this investigation hastily, if something goes wrong in the future, Master Zhu will also be imprisoned.

This Master Zhu was not angry, but smiled instead: "Then I want to see what you can say."

I straightened Wen Wulin beside me, gave him a look, and then said: "Master Zhu, the young master was forcibly taken away by Hua Qizheng these two days, and I don't know how he was abused. He was awakened just now, and the villain came here." Say a few words on behalf of the young master."

"Say it."

Due to Master Zhu's face, Hua Qi can't get angry for the time being, and he has always been conceited. He has never experienced the moment when the situation is at an end. Even if the plan changes, he still has the confidence to control the overall situation. He just stares at him with his dark eyes I.

I have never been afraid of him, so I said immediately: "As we all know, this is the palace of the former royal family. How can you prove that the gold in this room was not left here in the first place? The owner of the sect discovered these properties long ago, but didn't report them?"

"Humph!" Hua Qi was squinting at me, and explained loudly, "This is indeed a palace, but before the Huayumen moved in, officers and soldiers searched this place, and found nothing, so it could be that I have concealed it. Officers and soldiers?"

Of course not, Jiu Fangrong must have figured out some way to hide it from the past, but it doesn't matter what the truth is, only the most reasonable words will become the truth.

Master Zhu raised his eyebrows after hearing this, and his expression was a little serious. Hua Qi's words were going to involve the hunting and killing of officials from the remnant party of the former dynasty, and he wanted to use Master Zhu's power to block my mouth, but he was afraid I forgot Master Zhu’s background, Tanhua the year before last, he was young enough to stand out from the court, and he was originally a child of a peasant family—since such an official who was not related to others was sent here Investigating this matter, the emperor who sits far above the temple will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. How could Mr. Zhu, who was ordered by the emperor, be afraid of these involvements?

I said again: "The officers and soldiers only searched for a few days. The secret room is secret, so it's normal if they can't find it. But did the door owner take the initiative to ask to live in Shuxian Island? What's more, the door owner has lived here for more than 20 years!"

Hua Qizheng still seemed to think that he had a chance of winning, and he was quite disdainful: "Using strong words! You..."

Regardless of his interruption, I continued, "Okay, even if these gold ingots were brought here later, when did our son bring the gold ingots here? Where were the gold ingots stored before? Master Zhu, When you entered the Huayu Gate before, did you see the guards in front of the covered bridge?"

Master Zhu nodded: "Master Huamen, it's really not easy to transport such a large amount of gold ingots into the island, not to mention there are guards guarding them, transporting them by land and water is not easy, can you explain this matter."

If I'm not mistaken, Hua Qizheng will then go downhill.

"It was me who taught my son Wufang, and Wen Wulin was my own son. He relied on his status to dominate the sect, and the guards dared not speak out. It was precisely because the guards told me that something was wrong in private that the gold ingot was discovered. thing."

Sure enough, according to Hua Qizheng's temperament, he will add some details later to increase his persuasiveness.

"A few days ago, I sent people to arrest Wen Wulin, just to thoroughly investigate this matter. I persuaded him to surrender himself. I hoped that he would take care of himself, but I didn't expect to be bitten by this yellow-mouthed kid," he said, suddenly Pointing at me, "You! You are clearly a remnant of the previous dynasty, and it was you who conspired with Wen Wulin!"

It's been a long time since no one called me the remnants of the previous regime in front of my face.

Telling too many lies will create loopholes, and these loopholes must go through countless drills and speculations before they can be filled one by one.

Now that the officials went to the island ahead of time, Wen Wulin's subordinates did nothing, except for these unnamed gold ingots, Hua Qizheng couldn't produce any more evidence.His plan had already been disrupted, and his words at this moment were full of loopholes.

I stared at him coldly: "Since you plan to thoroughly investigate this matter, why did you only arrest the young master, but didn't ask Mr. Zhu to investigate together? You know that it will take some time for this matter to reach Mr. Zhu, What do you want to do with the time?"

"This...Master Zhu is already here now!"

"It was we who invited Master Zhu here today. You, Master Zhu, also know about this matter."

Master Zhu's expression became more serious, and he nodded.

"Then, why did the Master of the Huamen want to hide things from Mr. Zhu?"

"I'm giving him time and kindly persuading him to surrender!" Hua Qi was beginning to feel that something was wrong.

I looked at Master Zhu: "I don't know if there is anyone under your command who understands medical skills. Let's see if my young master has been poisoned."

Master Zhu looked at me for a moment, then waved his hand: "Go and have a look."

The man in white who came forward touched Wen Wulin's wrist, then looked at his nails, and then used a needle to pierce Wen Wulin's skin. After a while, the man got the result: "Report to your lord, Wen Wulin It is indeed poisoned, and the situation is not good, this poison... the villain has never seen this kind of poison before."

I signaled the people who were holding me on both sides to let go, and then immediately took out the paper bag in my arms, and quickly poured it into my mouth. Before the people next to me could stop me, the medicine had already crossed my throat.

Master Zhu frowned, and the people around him who seemed to be of lower rank couldn't help shouting: "Are you going to commit suicide in fear of crime?"

I was silent for a moment, and then I stretched out my hand to the man in white who knows medical skills: "Please take a look, did I and the young master suffer from a kind of poison?"

The man in white looked at me in disbelief, but he still used the trick he used on Wen Wulin just now on me again, and when he reached the last step, his expression had changed: "It's indeed the same kind, it's just Wen Wulin. Wu Lin has been poisoned for many days, and the dose is large, so the situation is even worse."

When I got a satisfactory answer, I withdrew my arm and turned to look at Hua Qizheng: "Since you want to persuade the young master to surrender, why did you use Hua Yumen's unique secret poison Wuyin San to the young master?"

"He refused to change his ways and tried to escape, so I used Wuyin San to make him calm." Hua Qizheng was in a panic.

"The head of the sect only took young master away three days ago, and immediately administered the medicine after he was taken away. Is the head of the sect trying to persuade him to surrender, or is he trying to torture him into a trick?"

"False words!" Looking at Hua Qizheng's appearance, he wished he could kill me right away, but because of the scene, he didn't attack, "That's because he injured my subordinates several times, so I took this medicine .”

No matter what he said, I just explained to Mr. Zhu on my own.

"Master Zhu does not know that Wuyin San is a poison unique to Hua Yumen. Sudden death; if a large amount of poison is used, the poisoned person can live for a period of time, but he is unable to perform martial arts, and is prone to coma, and he will still die suddenly after a few days." As I said, I gave the poison that I hadn't finished just now to the doctor. The man in white said, "If the young master is taken back by you today, Mr. Zhu, I am afraid that he will die in prison tomorrow. At that time, just as the adult said, the young master will be labeled as committing suicide in fear of crime!"

I glared at Hua Qizheng viciously: "Why does the master of the Huamen want the young master to die in prison for no reason? Is it a crime?"

When Hua Qizheng heard my words, he moved immediately, but my words had already reached this point, the officers and soldiers on the side couldn't just sit idly by, seven or eight people set off, and all of them blocked Hua Qizheng with their knives.

But with Hua Qizheng's skill, he is not afraid of these people, he stopped his movements only because his sanity has returned.

"Master Huamen, please be safe and don't be impatient. This person is indeed eloquent, but there are still many doubts about these words." Master Zhu is still as stable as Mount Tai. Even if he saw Hua Qizheng's posture, he just waved his hands. Hua Qi, who killed the Quartet, looked slightly positive.

But my goal has been achieved, Mr. Zhu's attention has completely shifted from Hua Qizheng to me, and Hua Qizheng, who seemed to be innocent at first, is also inseparable. No chance to argue.

This Master Zhu looked straight at me: "You also said just now that the Master of the Huamen has no evidence to prove that Wen Wulin owns these gold ingots. Could it be that you have conclusive evidence?"

I looked at Wen Wulin from the corner of my eye. At this time, he was much more awake and was looking at me all the time, so I touched the Zigang card on my waist, Wen Wulin understood, and immediately said: "Yes!"

"Young master, how do you feel?" Taking this opportunity, I forcefully squeezed into his side. The surrounding officers and soldiers had already drawn out their knives, ready to deal with my unruly behavior at any time, but I just stood still by his side and let him go. Everyone will think that I am just nervous about Wen Wulin's physical condition.

"Let's not talk about the body for now, I can't let you all die in vain with me," Wen Wulin coughed twice, and grabbed my wrist, "Hua Qi was thinking viciously, and he actually blamed this on me, how could I Let this vicious person succeed."

Before I came to Jade Immortal Island, I had already asked Rong Cheng, and he had already told Rong Cheng the key point of success or failure, so I was not worried that Wen Wulin would say the wrong thing, after all, he already knew what to do.

The author has something to say: this paragraph is exhausting...
