Chapter 100 Collusion
When he arrived at the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Xue Fu was also surprised, not to mention Wei Lin. In addition to some onlookers on that day and the waiter in Jinye Pavilion in charge of the Ye family's private room, the patriarch of Wang Chen and Ye's three family was also there.
She could understand that the head of the Ye family is here. Although the death is just a side branch, it is a scandal of the Ye family, so she naturally has to support her face.
But what happened to the patriarchs of the Wang and Chen family? Did you come to see the Ye family for jokes?
The head of the Ye family looked very bad. While smoking a face, he greeted the head of the Wang and Chen family, while secretly staring at his juniors. Seeing the good things these little boys did, it was so embarrassing that everyone knew about it.
After glaring at his family, he couldn't help but secretly scold Zhongxing for not being a human being. What's the point of asking the heads of Wang and Chen to come and visit him for the affairs of Ye and Xue families?
Will he embarrass his Ye family sincerity?
After a moment, someone came in again. It turned out to be the Sun family, one of the four major families in Nanling City. The face of the Ye clan leader changed rapidly and his face was colorful.
While following the salute, Wei Lin secretly observed the expressions of everyone. The onlookers were all at a loss and careful, while the senior leaders of the clan of the aristocratic family looked solemn. It was obvious that what we were going to talk about today was not just a murder case of the Ye family juniors.
Interestingly, the other clan leaders obviously knew something, but the Ye family’s clan leader’s statement showed that he, like other monks, didn’t know it either.
Wei Lin raised his eyebrows. He remembered that the Ye family was not only one of the best weapon refining families in Canglan Continent, but also had a member of the Nascent Soul Stage tribe in the Four Seasons Valley and was also the leader of Yifeng!
As time went by, people entered the conference hall one after another, and finally all the heads of the family who were named in the city came.
In a solemn, a middle-aged man with a majestic face and a beautiful and graceful woman walked in. Someone shouted in his ear: "True Qinzhi!"
Wei Lin didn't look squinting, Qin Zhi Zhenren? Didn't he say he would come in half a month?
As soon as the man sat down, he glanced around majesticly and said, "Everyone, please wait for me today. There is a big thing to be determined."
After saying that, he turned his eyes to the city lord's office below. One of the thin and gloomy men walked out and said hoarsely: "After identifying, the deceased had taken erosive vegetation before his death, he died of poisoning."
Ye Xue's eyebrows hopped and she immediately returned to calm.
A little boy next to her said, "Poisoning? How could it be poisoning? We all saw it with our own eyes. The fifth sister was beaten to death by Sister Xue Fu!"
"Xiao Qi!" The head of the Ye family glared at him urgently, gave him a look of silence, and then bowed to the head of Zhongxing Zhenjun and said, "Forgive the city lord, the child is ignorant..."
"Although he was a little reckless, he was asking at the same time," the city lord Zhongxing Zhenjun interrupted him, "It is always necessary to have real evidence to convince people, Li Zhou."
Li Zhou flipped his wrist and a blood bowl appeared in his hand: "Captain Ye."
The head of the Ye family did not take the blood bowl. With their cultivation level, they could completely smell the light sweet fragrance in the blood at this distance, which was the unique smell of the erosion fruit.
"Fellow Daoist Li is an expert in poisoning, and he is trustworthy in his lower body, but there is a poison that erodes the heart fruit in his blood."
Li Zhou nodded, put away the blood bowl, and then said, "The deceased died at the third hour of Si. He was in Nanpingfang at that time, and these people could testify."
He pointed to Wei Lin and other onlookers that day, and immediately everyone repeated the situation of the day with one word and one word, proof of each other, and no one lies.
"As we all know, the poisonous effect of the erosion fruit takes a quarter of an hour to occur, so the time for the deceased to be poisoned should be at the second hour of Si Shi."
After saying that, he looked at several attendants of Jinye Pavilion, and one of them immediately stood up and said, "On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the young ladies and young men of the Ye family were Jinye Pavilion that arrived at the end of Chenshi. At the beginning of the auction, we sent tea in. Chenshiwu and went in to fill in the tea again. Then until the end of Sishiwu and the second hour, we did not go in again, and no one came out."
"Is what he said true?" As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhou asked the other waiters and the young ladies who were in the private room on the day.
Everyone nodded and confirmed that the monk remembered it well, but he did not deliberately remember it. Now that he recalled it, what he did that day was still vivid in his mind.
He turned to the Ye family's junior standing with expressionless expression: "It's very clear now that the deceased was poisoned at the second juncture of Si Shi, and it was only a few of you in it. Tell me, who caused the poison?"
In order to prove his innocence, the young men and ladies of the Ye family said and recalled the scene in the box that day. In the end, as expected, the finger pointed at Ye Xue.
Ye Xue opened her mouth, unable to argue. At this time, she had no choice but to admit it. She took a deep breath and said calmly: "That's right, it was the poison I made."
"Sister Four, why?" Ye Xiaoqi, who spoke before, couldn't believe that although the fourth sister doesn't like to talk to them on weekdays, she is really considerate. How could she poison the fifth sister?
"Why?" Ye Xue's face mocking and sneered, "I also want to know why. I agreed to show my own behavior. As a result, before the real person Qinzhi arrived, the patriarch appointed the fifth sister. Why?"
Her eyes were a little red, and her voice was even more swallowed: "My Ninth Sister has two spiritual roots. We can't compare to me, but why is her Ye Wen? The same four spiritual roots, the spiritual roots are not as pure as me, and the cultivation is not as diligent as me. They are arrogant and willful. Why is it her? Because her parents are alive and my father is gone, and my mother is just a mortal?"
The crystal clearness in her eyes could no longer hold on. With her blinking, it suddenly fell down like a flood that opened the gate, flowing non-stop. She turned her head and stared at her family's head: "I don't ask for favoritism, I just want fairness, but why don't you give it?"
Qin Zhi Zhenren's face was a little moved, and she sighed, "Silly child, I will decide on the matters of my disciples myself, and others are just suggesting it."
The meaning of this is to admit that the leader of the Ye family mentioned to her that he chose Ye Wen. Wei Lin raised his eyebrows. Under the same conditions, if someone recommends it or no one recommends it, it goes without saying who to choose.
Ye Xue sneered, obviously thinking about this, and did not accept her affection.
The elder of the Ye tribe blushed, feeling embarrassed that he was stripped of his clothes in public, but it was only a moment. Who hasn't had a biased attitude? It's just a human nature.
However, because of such trivial matters, everyone knows that he is angry.
Thinking of the solemnity on the faces of the families before, most of the anger in my heart went away, and I just prayed that I could end all this early.
After glaring at Ye Xue fiercely, he said, "The city lord is wise, so he has sorted out this matter for my Ye family. This evil beast is so cruel. I will definitely educate him when I go back. If I have to worry about the city lord."
After saying that, he apologized to the head of the Xue family, but he scolded Ye Xue half-death in his heart. He was so sad that he had lost all his face. He must have a good look when he went back!
This matter is said to be the family affairs of his Ye family. It is logical that he went to the city lord's mansion. Ye and Xue's family said that they should apologize and apologize. This matter was exposed.
However, now the city lord summoned all the Nanling City families with great fanfare. He asked tentatively: "City lord, this matter..."
“It’s not over yet.”
Zhenjun Zhongxing glanced at him, stood up and walked to Ye Xue, shouting sternly: "Say, when did you collude with Canye Pavilion?"
"What?"
The Ye Clan Chief was shocked suddenly, his face calmly, and his voice was filled with cold air: "City Lord, you can't say something random!"
"Hmph, do I have any random words? Just search the soul and know."
While Li Zhou stepped forward, he explained to everyone: "In addition to the poison that the deceased was also Shu Fangyi."
"Shufangyi!" The head of the Wang family was impatient, and immediately took a breath and asked, "Can Fellow Daoist Li be sure?"
Li Zhou nodded seriously and handed the bowl of blood to the head of the Wang family: "Although Shufangyi is colorless and tasteless, it will make the sweet fragrance of the erosion fruit with a slight astringent smell. If you don't pay more attention, it will be easy to ignore it."
