As for the ghost in the city, Shen Qiqi told the elders of the clan as soon as she came back.
But he didn't say who it was.
Several elders of the Shen family immediately filtered through their minds the suspects who might be the mole.
However, no matter how they filtered it, they never thought about the Fifth Elder.
These clan elders are all members of the Shen family. Naturally, a family would not suspect the same family. However, they did not expect that the mole was actually a member of the family!
He colluded with evil spirits and secretly opened the city gates to let evil spirits enter the city and harm the people. How could the fifth elder do such a thing, and how dare he do it!
As the leader of the elders of the clan, the First Elder was so angry that his temples were pounding. He slapped the Fifth Elder hard, pointed at his nose and said angrily: "You! You... you are simply unworthy of the surname Shen! We How could the Shen family have a scum like you!"
If he was just confused for a moment and coveted the position of the head of the family, he could still intercede for the fifth elder.
However, colluding with evil spirits to harm the people, let alone the useless plea of a clan elder, I am afraid that if the head of the family personally said to forgive the fifth elder, other Xuanmen families would not agree, and the people would not agree!!!
In order to eliminate demons and evil spirits, countless monks lose their lives every year.
Every year, the common people use half of the food they have worked so hard to cultivate to provide for these Xuanmen families, in order to protect them from evil spirits.
Therefore, no matter who it is, anyone who dares to collude with evil spirits will never tolerate it once discovered.
Regarding this point, the fifth elder naturally knew it, otherwise when Shen Ning'er threatened him with the image stone, he would not have had any choice but to accept Shen Ning'er's threat.
But he didn't expect that since those evil spirits knew his identity... When he quietly went to open the city gate that night, not only did he deliberately disguise himself, but from beginning to end, he didn't say a word, let alone announce his identity. How did those evil spirits know his identity?
Oh, yes, it was Shen Ning'er. It was Shen Ning'er who revealed his identity... Did she promise to keep it secret for him?
That little bitch!
The two daughters born to Shen Mingyu are both bitches!
At this moment, the fifth elder not only wished to cut Shen Ning'er into pieces with a thousand knives, but he also hated Shen Qiqi who had revealed all this to his bones, wishing to eat her alive!
However, no matter how hateful or angry he is... he can only think about it in his heart.
He couldn't beat Shen Qiqi.
And the most important thing right now is not to hate or anger anyone, but to clear away the suspicions on oneself, and resolutely not to be charged with colluding with evil spirits to harm the people.
Once this crime is proven, the Shen family will not be able to tolerate him, and the Xuanmen family will not keep him, and the people will beat him to death like a rat crossing the street!
Thinking of this, the fifth elder ignored the huge pain that felt like his bones were falling apart, and with a face swollen like a pig's head, he hurriedly denied: "I didn't, I didn't collude with evil spirits, it was the second girl who wronged me... Girl, where did I offend you and why did you harm me like this?"
Those evil spirits have been brought to justice, and now there is no evidence. As long as Shen Ning'er doesn't stand up to testify against him, no one can provide evidence that he colluded with the evil spirits!
What he has to do now is to refuse to admit and bite Shen Qiqi to death for wrongly accusing him!
At this time, the fifth elder no longer had his usual elegant demeanor, his hair was disheveled, and his face was so swollen that his original appearance was unrecognizable.
Because he had just rolled down the steps, his clothes were covered with dust, and he was extremely embarrassed. If he walked on the street, if he didn't open his mouth, no one would be able to recognize him.
At this time, he looked at Shen Qiqi with a sad and sorrowful expression: "You used to be young and ignorant. Every time you got into trouble and the family wanted to punish you, it was Uncle Wu who rushed to the front to intercede for you. It was Uncle Wu who also rushed to the front to plead for you. My uncle protected you despite the family master’s scolding... Qiqi, Fifth Uncle treats you badly, why did you frame Fifth Uncle like this!”
The fifth elder complained plaintively, with tears streaming down his face, as if he had really suffered some unjust injustice.
Among the clan elders, the fourth elder was the most impulsive, but he was also the simplest and easiest to deceive. Seeing the fifth elder like this, he was a little shaken and whispered to Shen Qiqi: "Qiqi, could this be a conspiracy? It's a misunderstanding, your fifth uncle... he shouldn't be that kind of person."
Although the other clan elders did not express their opinions, the expressions on their faces were a little hesitant.
Apparently he was moved by the fifth elder's words.
In other words, they also hope that this is all a misunderstanding.
It's a pity that they are destined to be disappointed.
Shen Qiqi took out something, put it in the palm of her hand, brought it to the fifth elder, and asked in a deep voice: "Fifth elder, do you know what this is?"
A round stone the size of a baby's fist lay in the girl's white palm.
The moment the fifth elder saw the round stone, his pupils suddenly shrank uncontrollably.
Of course he knows what it is!
That's a photo stone! It's a photo stone that records the inside story of his cooperation with Shen Ning'er!
But isn’t the image stone in Shen Ning’er’s hands? Why does it appear in the hands of a little bitch like Shen Qiqi?!
The fifth elder was so shocked that his heart almost stopped. He shook his head instinctively and said, "What is this? I don't know...how could I know!"
"I don't know, it doesn't matter. Let me tell you, this thing is called a shadow stone. Those evil spirits took it out and gave it to me in order to suffer less torture and die happily. They said that Shen Ning'er gave it to them. The reason is Because you like to cross rivers, demolish bridges, unload mills and kill donkeys, so take this thing to prevent you from betraying me."
Shen Qiqi said slowly with a faint smile on her lips.
Every word, every sentence was like a giant hammer, which made the fifth elder's eardrums buzz and his whole body tremble.
If he was still holding on to a sense of luck at the beginning, thinking that Shen Qiqi was bluffing him, however, when he heard Shen Qiqi's words, the sense of luck in his heart was completely wiped out.
Because he did do things like tearing down mills and killing donkeys to cross rivers and burn down bridges.
It just didn't work out in the end.
But he and Shen Ning'er were the only two people in the room at that time. It was absolutely impossible for a third person to know what happened that day. It seemed that the photo stone in Shen Qiqi's hand was indeed the photo that Shen Ning'er took out that day. stone!
As soon as this realization came to him, the fifth elder suddenly felt as if the blood in his body was covered with ice, and he was as cold as head to toe. Even though his face was swollen like a pig's head, the blood on his face still receded like a tide.
Almost instantly, the fifth elder's face turned pale and turned into a dead face.
If he was told that the round stone that Shen Qiqi took out was not the picture stone that Shen Ning'er took out to threaten him that day, but just a blank picture stone, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit three liters of blood.
It's a pity that there is no such if.
Shen Qiqi saw all the reactions of the fifth elder and sneered in her heart.
The reason why she thought of taking out a blank photo stone to bluff the fifth elder was because she knew that the fifth elder had superb acting skills and eloquence, and would not shed tears even if he saw the coffin.
As for why she was sure that Shen Ning'er would have a photographic stone recording the inside story of the transaction between the other party and the Fifth Elder, it was because of her understanding of Shen Ning'er.
That time Shen Ning'er pretended that she wanted to get involved with Xie Beiming. She had to record such a shameful thing with a photo stone. How could she not leave something behind when discussing such an important matter as cooperation with the Fifth Elder?
It turned out that her guess was correct.
Seeing the fifth elder staring directly at the photo stone in her hand, as if he wanted to snatch it away, Shen Qiqi simply pushed him from behind and said in a cold voice: "Since the fifth elder insists, Since I have wronged you, let’s take a look at the contents of this photo stone on the spot.”
After saying that, he was about to activate the shadow stone. When the fifth elder saw this, he immediately panicked. Without thinking, he rushed over and snatched the shadow stone, and held it hard.
Such a hard stone was crushed into powder by him.
Gray-white stone foam flowed out from between his fingers, and the fifth elder felt as if he had escaped a disaster, and his whole body relaxed.
It shouldn't be too obvious that someone who doesn't have three hundred taels of silver in this place is asking for it.
Several elders of the Shen family immediately became dark-faced.
The fourth elder who had just spoken for the fifth elder was so angry that he immediately flew into a rage. He grabbed a chair and hit the fifth elder on the head. However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a powerful baritone voice suddenly sounded:
"Colluding with evil spirits to harm the people is an unforgivable crime!"
Along with this roar, a powerful coercion erupted from the crowd, and then like a hurricane, a figure swept up to the fifth elder and grabbed him by the throat.
From the sound of the voice, to the arrival of the person, to grabbing the fifth elder's throat, the whole process took no more than a breather.
Shen Qiqi took a closer look and said in shock: "Sect Master Jiang?"
The person who came was none other than Jiang Guiyuan, the leader of the Jiang clan of Jinyang's Jiang family.
Why did he come to Yuzhou?
Shen Qiqi was still wondering, but at this moment, another strong pressure came over, and she rushed directly to Jiang Guiyuan, grabbed his wrist, and said coldly: "Sect Master Jiang, this person, you Can't kill."
