Emperor Que Shaohua

From April 23rd, when Luo Yanhua and Mu Shaoqing gathered in the fairy building to make a date, to the end of the sword test meeting on the seventh day of May, the conflicts and disputes between the two sides have always revolved around the dead luthier Pei Suxue, her last words Is it true or not, is she an orphan of Langhuan controlled by the suzerain, or an internal spy lurking and doing harm under the instigation of foreign enemies?Master Mu Shaozhuang made accusations with stern words and a domineering manner. Langhuan's side maintained restraint but did not back down. They presented every piece of evidence in front of others, clarified the facts with reason and evidence, and proved the suzerain's innocence.

In the minds of the participants, an either-or impression has gradually formed: since Pei Suxue's life experience has nothing to do with Langhuan at all, the accusations against the suzerain before her suicide are all false, and it is natural to think that she is Wei Wuze planted a dark thread in Wanjian Villa; when he found out that Mu Shaoqing had acquired the sanskrit technique, it became more and more convincing.

I thought the dust was about to settle, but unexpectedly Wang Jing changed the subject, as if he had some deep meaning, and all the guests were a little puzzled. Is there any change at this point?

Nan Gongchen was also quite surprised. He frowned and thought for a while before saying: "The situation was chaotic that night, and Shaoqing and I were caught off guard. Shaoqing accidentally injured Wei Cheng's life, and he regretted and blamed himself very much. Then Miss Pei... …I ended up hearing singing only outside the study.”

He said and shook his head: "Now that I think about it, I was careless. I shouldn't have left Shaoqing to face her alone. Apart from Pei Suxue, I really can't think of any other possibility."

"That's right, when I think back to the first night when I first arrived in Jinling, it was just like today that the rain was pattering, and Mr. Nangong came here with his flute. He also told me the whole story of the shocking change in Wanjian Villa, and solved my doubts." Luo Yan Hua said, "It was through the eldest son that I heard about Miss Pei, the key figure. I learned that she is not only good at playing the piano, but also has a melodious singing voice. , It is indeed like performing Sanskrit music."

"At that time, I had exited the study room and stood with the guards of the villa who rushed over." Nangong Chen sighed, "The singing came from the room, even though it was separated by a wall and a few feet away, I still felt the sadness of each word, which was unbearable. Sad. Sect Master Jiang mentioned this, did he discover anything?"

"Young Master Nangong is careful and meticulous. I believe that even if you ask the guards present or even Shaoqing himself, it will be difficult to find out more." Luo Yanhua stared at his calm expression, and said slowly, "Actually, according to Qibi's collection Ms. Pei is indeed very talented in phonology, otherwise she would not be picked up by Pei Sanniang as a lover. Sanskrit music requires practitioners to have a moving voice. There are many flowers falling on the law, and Miss Pei also has a beautiful singing voice. From time to time, she has the opportunity to sing in front of the owner of the villa. Before entering Wanjian Villa at the age of 15, she had wandered around the south of the Yangtze River with her master for four years. It took five years to investigate Nalan Yu's whereabouts back then, and she happened to be hiding in a Buddhist temple in Suzhou and Hangzhou. The two facts prove that Miss Pei had the conditions to have an intersection with Sanskrit monks and demons in her early years, and she was thrown into the Kunlun Mansion. Then , if she continues to use the identity of Pei Sanniang's adopted daughter as a cover, and is ordered to infiltrate Wanjian Villa, and wait for the opportunity to confuse Master Mu, it will not be surprising. There are so many things, it can be said that there are almost no flaws."

"Just as Sect Master Jiang said, I was a little uncertain at first, but after learning that Wei Wuze was the secret envoy and that Shaoqing had acquired the sanskrit technique, I felt that Pei Suxue's true identity was about to be revealed, and the many evidences I saw in recent days made it even more clear. It illustrates this point." Nangong Chen smiled.

The expressions of the two were very calm, Nangong Chen was tepid, Luo Yanhua was as quiet as a cold pool, but everyone in the hall gradually felt a certain unusual atmosphere, as if as the conversation progressed, there was a strange undercurrent secretly Surge, spread.

"Now that I think about it, I was very lucky to be able to learn the inside story of the incident when I first came to Jiangnan. Later, although there was no evidence of a direct connection between Miss Pei and Wei Wuze, the more I checked, the more I felt that everything was consistent. It seems that Wei Wuze's She is the right underling." Luo Yanhua said, "If there is anything unreasonable in it, it is that it went too smoothly. You must know that I have been in Los Angeles for a long time, and I came here in a hurry to deal with the crisis. It should be a mess. If the source can be easily found, the situation shouldn't be so serious that it can't be dealt with at all. And why Fei Sheng and Xie Xiao were helpless and suffering without clues before? There must be a reason for everything, and Jianghua is serious With such a great ability, just relying on a little fame, you can solve the puzzle for the first time?"

He paused: "What's more, Sanskrit monks and demons have achieved internal strength at the age of 25. They just started to master the Sanskrit technique. Every time they use it, they must stimulate their internal strength. And Mu Lingzhu has practiced swords since he was a child. He has experienced many strong winds and waves, and his mental toughness is far beyond ordinary people. Thinking about Miss Pei, a weak woman who has never practiced martial arts, no matter how talented she is, can she be stronger than Nalan Yu? How did she manage to control Shaoqing's mind just by her voice?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, the first half could be said to be limited to King Jing's doubts, but the latter point is really puzzling.Lion's Roar and Cicada Clam Kungfu, which attack through sound, are all based on deep inner strength, and Sanskrit Sound Art is no exception. Otherwise, even if it can confuse one or two passers-by, it is far from enough to deal with a master like Mu Shaoqing.

Yin Jianxiu asked: "Master Mu, do you have any impressions, did Miss Pei use internal force when she sang and spoke?"

Mu Shaoqing frowned, the pictures in his memory were far and near, some were so clear that they were within reach, while others were as blurred as looking at flowers through fog.He pressed his sore temples, as if returning to the snowy night at the beginning of the year, standing alone in the study, Wei Cheng's gradually freezing body lay beside his feet, and beside his ears was the melancholy singing, the song was not over yet, in front of him The woman in the room suddenly fell to the ground, her face turning purple after being poisoned.She was breathing hard, as if she didn't realize that death was approaching, and she was still trying to finish singing the second half of the verse, or to say something to herself, but she couldn't utter a word after all.

"Probably not. But the situation was very chaotic at the time, and I'm not completely sure." He shook his head, a little dazed.

"It's not yet clear how to use Sanskrit music and whether it must use internal strength." Nan Gongchen pondered, "And there are many doubts about Miss Pei. Could it be that her practice of martial arts is just a deliberate cover-up and has not been noticed by the surroundings? ?”

"If she practices internal strength, there will always be clues to her body and gait, and there is no way I can't find it in Wanjian Villa!" Gu Zheng couldn't help but said.Gu Di hastily pulled on his younger brother to prevent this guy from interrupting, but doubts gradually arose in his heart: Pei Suxue was a very reserved girl in his impression, Pei Sanniang taught well, she didn't leave any dust on her body, but looked like a The girl in the boudoir is sentimental, playing the piano and singing always hurts the spring and autumn.Wei Cheng likes her a lot, but it seems that things are not going well.As for internal strength and so on, if Miss Pei is not ignorant, she should be a master who hides her secrets. He also does not believe that a half-hearted person can hide in Wanjian Villa for many years without showing his feet.

"Just because you don't know martial arts, it may not be enough to wash away the doubts about Miss Pei, but there are still more flaws in the whole matter." Luo Yuhua didn't bother, and then said, "Using Sanskrit to control the mind often requires prior preparation. Only by understanding the opponent's inner weakness or obsession, and then attacking them unprepared, can one succeed in one fell swoop. The effect is strong in the short term, but it can only last for a while, not for a long time. In the past twenty years, Nalan Yu's own power was at its peak. The longest time was only about one month. But when I arrived in Jinling, Mu Lingzhu had been in seizures for three full months, and it was getting worse day by day, and there was no sign of regaining his composure. It should be noted that Miss Pei had already died, of course It’s very strange that you can’t continue to inflict harm.”

The seat fell into silence, and all kinds of irrationality superimposed, indicating that there was something else in it, which could not be easily explained by coincidence.

"Naturally, if Miss Pei is exceptionally gifted, a genius far superior to Nalan Yu, coupled with the provocation of death, it is not ruled out that she will receive miraculous results, but the possibility of such a situation is too small." Luo Yan Hua said, "Wei Wuze has been planning for many years, and he will never bet heavily on things he is not sure about. The Sanjiang Gang and others have not achieved enough, so they can only be used as pawns to confuse people's eyes. If they want to deal a fatal blow to Langhuan, the last The most effective way is to pretend to be Mu Lingzhu. After meeting Shaoqing in Juxian Tower, I am convinced that there must be an opponent who is secretly leading the situation, and it is very likely that he is lurking beside Shaoqing, and continues to look for opportunities to use Sanskrit to attack the mind." Speaking of this, he smiled lightly, "At first it was just speculation, but as time went by, this point has been gradually confirmed. The No.3 Fu Wei is not Miss Pei, the luthier, but someone else."

There was a low commotion in the hall, Sect Master Langhuan's conclusion was unexpected, but it was reasonable after careful consideration.Master Jingming put his palms together and said, "Sect Master Jiang is very thoughtful, and he must have verified it clearly, but he doesn't know who this person is and where he is now?"

Everyone was having the same question in their hearts, and upon hearing the words, they all stared at King Jing waiting for an answer, and the flower hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard.Gu Di's mood was more tense than others, and he quickly recalled all kinds of people who had been in contact with the owner over the past few months.However, Master Mu Shaozhuang posted martial arts posts and established the Sword Alliance, and no one could persuade him, especially before the appointment at Juxianlou, there were as many people around him as crucian carp crossing the river, some were good and some were evil, and the Sanjiang gang was more serious. It was fanning the flames all day long, so I couldn't figure it out for a while.

"It is not difficult to find this person, because he must meet several conditions. First, before and after the accident and in the past three or four months, he had the opportunity to approach Mu Lingzhu from time to time; second, Shaoqing was vigilant. He has a very high personality, and it is not easy to perform spells on him without being noticed, which means that the person who strikes must be deeply trusted. There are only a handful of suspects who can meet these two criteria, either they are capable subordinates, or they are regulars Friends. Of course, you need to have a moving voice and be proficient in phonology before you can master Sanskrit music." Luo Yanhua said, "In fact, it took a lot of effort to lock the target, because this person who intends to overthrow Langhuan in one fell swoop The instigator not only acted meticulously, but also his family background and appearance are like Sanskrit music, which is very deceptive, making people hesitate and hesitate, lest they be wronged by him."

In the silent hall, his quiet voice seemed to be a little colder than the mountain rain: "Mr. Nangong planned painstakingly to let the dead Miss Pei bear the responsibility for you. Are you really not worried about retribution?"

The voice fell, and the audience was in an uproar.Even though the few sensitive guests had already had a vague premonition after hearing it all the way, they were still inexplicably astonished at this moment, and all their eyes turned to Nangong Chen.The young master of one of the most famous martial arts families in the south of the Yangtze River, the noble son who is as humble as a jade, and Mu Shaoqing's childhood friend. He has never been friends with each other. As we all know, how can such a person work for Wei Wuze and do insidious things?

However, King Jing's narration is rigorous and clear, which makes people feel convinced naturally. If you think about it, if you are not sure, as the suzerain of Langhuan, you will never jump to conclusions lightly.

"Sect Master Jiang, this kind of joke is not just made casually!" Nangong Chen's face flashed with astonishment, his usual warm smile disappeared, and then his brows were furrowed, suddenly displeased, "Is it because I have a rough melody, and I am a young man?" Qing's family friends, if they meet the conditions you deduced, will they be called murderous suspects for nothing?"

As he said that, he looked a little excited: "If it wasn't for my younger brother who respected Sect Master Jiang's character and repeatedly dragged me to Huaibizhuang to pay a visit, the Nangong family could choose to watch silently, why bother to get involved in the storm! I will tell the truth kindly. What came here was to have his reputation ruined in public, is this how Lang Huan treats his friends?"

The Nangong family has always had a good reputation. Seeing the situation taking a turn for the worse, all the guests were a little bit embarrassed, so someone wanted to say something to ease it: Maybe there was a misunderstanding, and everyone just explained it slowly. Don't hurt the peace too much.

"When the accident happened in Wanjian Mountain Villa, besides Mu Lingzhu, Mr. Nangong was the only one who knew about it, so I am very grateful to the eldest son for his timely visit." Luo Yuhua said calmly, "However, when it comes to doubts, the eldest son is even more suspicious. Worse than Miss Pei. It’s just the same crime, if it is committed by a woman of low status and no one in the world, most people will easily accept it, but if it is a son of a famous family, it is often regarded as nonsense.”

"Suspicion needs to be based on evidence. It is the imperial court's practice to force others to rely on unwarranted words, but it can't win the hearts of the martial arts." Nangong Chen said angrily, "Shaoqing witnessed all the actions and accusations of Pei Suxue before she committed suicide. , I heard it with my own ears, but I didn’t make it up. Sect Master Jiang tried hard to prove that her words were lies with ulterior motives, and finally got everyone to believe her words. Why did she suddenly backtrack and make her a target for no reason? If there is not enough Although the Nangong family is not as powerful as Langhuan, they must seek justice!"

The tone is still gentle, without losing grace, but the words are sharp, and there is a hidden tendency to force people.

"Miss Pei's words are indeed false." Luo Yanhua ignored his questioning, and said lightly, "There are many reasons for a person to tell lies, it may be intentional, it may be forced, or it may even be used by others Once you look at it from a different perspective, Miss Pei's death is worthy of scrutiny. She has nothing to do with Langhuan, and it seems that she is not the one who knows Sanskrit. Where did those unreasonable words and deeds come from? The answer is actually very simple. The real killer can even shake Shaoqing's will, so how difficult is it to manipulate an ordinary girl of eighteen or nineteen years old? Therefore, in my opinion, Miss Pei's existence is not complicated and confusing. She was carefully selected by the real murderer to A tool to complete the scheme, and as a cover, is there a more suitable scapegoat and cover-up than this girl?"

Everyone couldn't help being terrified. Combining various circumstances, Pei Suxue really didn't seem capable of causing chaos, but following King Jing's train of thought, things that couldn't be explained were suddenly cleared up.Even the master of Mingjian was completely used, let alone an ordinary woman?

"What role does Miss Pei play, and whether there are other traitors in Wanjian Villa? It's all Lang Huan's own investigation, and now she suddenly speaks with certainty, how reliable is it?" Nangong Chen stood up and said coldly, " Although I don't know what Jiang Zongzhu intends to do, but the words have come to this point, we must see the real chapter. Everyone has seen clearly that Langhuan took the lead in targeting me today. If I can't make it clear in public, I, Nangong Chen I can't bear such humiliation, so I can only return it as it is. Please, seniors, be a witness for me!"

Mu Shaoqing felt that he could understand every sentence of the conversation, but he couldn't understand the combined chill. It was as if his whole body had been immersed in icy water, sinking continuously, and it was difficult to breathe in the cold.He didn't believe it, of course he didn't believe it, but in the chaotic memory, the fragments that were originally blurred suddenly flashed, and they were clearly reflected in his mind, which was the girl's last expression.At the moment when her life was about to end, her eyes didn't seem to be looking at herself, but she was trying to find something else, full of indescribable horror.Whether it is real or hallucination, that is not the expression of a person who commits suicide, but is like desperately looking for the last piece of driftwood when he is dying from drowning.

Due to the shock in his mind, he couldn't hear what Nan Gongchen and the others were saying. When he came back to his senses, he heard Luo Yanhua's indifferent voice: "Imagine Wei Wuze's overall layout, when the competition in Luocheng is fierce. , the two guards lurking in Caobang and Wanjian Villa launched their own actions, either to rebel and seize power, or to instigate rebellion, but one failed and the other succeeded. The Cao Gang captured Shao Qingquan, and the news that the leader of the Xun Gang invited me to meet Jiangshang spread. , the only one who has not revealed his identity will inevitably have to toss and turn, worrying that Shao Qingquan will leak information that should not be said, which will affect his own safety. This is why Mr. Nangong has been evading and refusing to disclose the inside information for two or three months. , but the reason why I came to meet the first time after I moved into Huaibizhuang is that instead of letting Lang Huan follow the clue of sanskrit music to investigate, it is better to throw out the prepared substitute first, and lock everyone's focus on Miss Pei. Although it is risky to visit proactively, it is still worth a try with Ah Jin around to minimize my vigilance."

There was a faint sound of commotion in the distance, but everyone in the hall was engrossed, and no one paid much attention to it.

"Using this method, the most ingenious part is to take advantage of the psychological weakness. I think I was already very anxious, and it was just the first time I got the information. All I was thinking about was finding out the opponent who used the mantra to deal with Langhuan. Mr. Nangong The appearance of the Sanskrit music is just like timely rain. To me, the matter of Sanskrit music is a secret that is not known to others. The eldest son told the story of the incident without knowing it, but it fits everywhere, and it makes people more trustworthy while clarifying the confusion. Once preconceived, you will naturally get deeper and deeper until you are convinced." At this point, Luo Yanhua paused, "But change the position, if the eldest son is the inner response who really possesses the Sanskrit sound technique, the situation will immediately reverse, and the confidant will become a friend. The one who doesn't know the other has become me, Jiang Hua, and Miss Pei's life experience and experience are confusing, this ecstasy formation is perfect."

As he spoke, he sighed slightly: "On the day we first met, the harmony between the qin and the flute, and the night conversation in the corridor, Mr. Nangong gave the impression that he was also flawless and almost perfect? ​​It's a pity that a fake is a fake after all. , cannot replace the truth.”

Luo Pingyuan listened silently, feeling quite complicated and heavy.He knew far more inside information than others, and ended up still trapped in a circle of doubts, always thinking about uncovering Pei Suxue's hidden identity. Even when King Jing finally mentioned that the real culprit was someone else, he didn't think of Nan Gongchen for a long time. .Is it blind, or has regarded the two young masters of the Nangong family as friends, and he does not want to believe him deep down in his heart?Looking back at this moment, from the time when Nan Gongchen asked his younger brother to go to Los Angeles to participate in the Three Kingdoms Competition on his behalf, the accident was already in the brewing stage.From time to time, Nan Gongchen's shadow appears beside Mu Shaoqing: living in Wanjian Villa, assisting in the investigation of the traitor, participating in and witnessing the accident process, coming to help make peace at Rong Feisheng's request, and the one after the emperor's brother and his party arrived in Jinling. Series contacts.In the more than ten days after the signing of the contract in Juxian Tower, the son of Nangong's parents also stayed at the villa for most of the time. Was he helping Master Mu Shaozhuang out of friendship, or...?There was a chill in his heart, and he glanced at Mu Shaoqing, who was pale, and felt sympathy for the first time, feeling that the other party was not so bad.

"Is Sect Master Jiang finished?" Nangong Chen asked with a serious face, "Where is the evidence? Or is it that Lang Huan's actions are all based on speculation, and Sect Master Jiang is what he thinks of?"

He sneered: "Without proof, it's just slander! There are many seniors here, and this place is not just for Lang Huan!"
