Yuan Gongyi sneered and said: "Your sword has never been drawn out before. How do others know how new it is? Judging from the hilt, it is undoubtedly this sword. Even if you are sophistical, you can't deceive others!"
Hai Hongzhu was panic-stricken, tears fell again, and she cried: "I didn't kill anyone, and this sword is not mine. I have never seen it!"
Yuan Gongyi said: "Okay, you said this sword is not yours, so where is your sword now? Can you take it out for everyone to see?"
Hai Hongzhu said: "The sword was still there earlier. I put it on the chair, but then it disappeared..."
Unless people in the martial arts encounter an absolutely unavoidable situation, their weapons will never leave their bodies. This is a matter of life and death, especially for swordsmen. There is even a saying in the martial arts world that "if the sword is with you, the sword will kill you."
It’s a precept. A sword wielder would place his sword randomly on a chair and eventually lose it. It sounds really ridiculous!
Hai Hongzhu grew up in her hometown in the countryside. She has been arrogant since she was a child. Although she has practiced martial arts, she has never experienced any troubles. She is not a member of the world at all. It is not surprising that this kind of thing happened to her.
.But when she said this, she couldn't make others believe it. Everyone in the ancestral hall thought that she must be lying.
Yuan Gongyi laughed three times "hahaha", but there was no smile in his tone, and said: "Mrs. Hua, do you think we are all three-year-old children, so easy to deceive? I think you should stop making excuses.
If you honestly admit who ordered you to commit such murderous acts, you can save your flesh and blood from suffering!"
At this moment, there was only a sound of "dang", but it was Master Hua who threw the fierce sword heavily on the table. His eyes widened and he said sternly: "Don't do anything to me before the matter is investigated.
The husband is screaming! Listening to the tone of the leader Yuan, it is possible that he still wants to torture him to extract a confession. I'm afraid you, the 'Danxia Sect', don't have the ability yet!"
Yuan Gongyi was furious and shouted: "It's enough for your 'evil dog sect' to be tyrannical in the Hunan border. You are still far from being able to run wild in our Guangdong border. Yuan is going to learn the skills of your sect today!"
He turned his hands and grasped the two judge's pens inserted in his waist, and was about to make a move, but Zhu Hong and Bai Yiling, who were standing behind Hua Bushi, rushed to grab them at the same time, both blocking Hua Bushi.
There is no stone in front of you.
"Brother Yuan, wait a minute!" It was Wu Zhengdao who spoke. He stretched out his hand to stop Yuan Gongyi and said: "We are all members of the same path, how can we kill each other casually? In my opinion, we should investigate this matter first.
It's not too late to decide how to deal with it when the truth comes out."
At this moment, this "Evil Dog Master" doesn't have many people around him. If he really wants to fight, he will definitely not be able to defeat the many masters and disciples of the "Four Sects". However, the "Evil Dog Sect" is, after all, a notorious world.
The gang once defeated the "Hengshan Sect", which was known as "the best in Hunan". The strength of the masters in the sect was definitely not weak. Wu Zhengdao would not have wanted to easily provoke such an enemy unless he had no choice.
This was also the reason why he had always been quite polite to Hua Bushi.
"Uncle Wu, Head Yuan, and Ruoying feel that Miss Hai and the 'Evil Dog Clan' were not the murderers of Mr. Ma Da." The person with a clear voice said this, but it was Yi Ruoying who had been standing on one side.
Master Miaozhen also recited the Buddha's name and said: "The poor nun also thinks so. If Master Hua wanted to murder Mr. Ma Da, there would have been many opportunities in the Luyuan Canyon the day before yesterday, so why wait until today, which is the most unfavorable situation?"
It is completely unreasonable to assassinate him when he is in trouble."
The people at "Jingci Lin'an" met Hua Bushi at the "Yezhuzhang" cottage, and they went through the Luyuan Grand Canyon together. They could be considered to have gone through hardships together, and they had a little friendship, but Master Miaozhen and Yi Ruoying's ability to step forward and defend the "Evil Dog Gate" at this time was somewhat beyond Hua Bushi's expectations.
Yuan Gongyi curled his lips and said: "What's so strange about this? They must have decided to kill someone at the last minute, and they had already expected that you would think so, so they dared to take the risk, and then denied it afterwards!"
At this time, I heard someone say: "It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense!"
When Yuan Gongyi heard this, he looked over and saw that it was Zhong Bulao from the "Dinghu Sect". This fat old man had been standing aside, teasing the fat dog Ah Cai, without making a sound, until now he said this A word of "nothing".
Although Zhong Bu Lao was not the leader of the same sect, his martial arts skills were unparalleled by almost no one among the "four major sects in Guangdong". His temperament was extremely weird. Yuan Gongyi was a little angry at first, but seeing that this person was speaking. The "immortal man" did not dare to get angry and asked: "What's wrong? Elder Zhong, please speak more clearly."
Zhong Bulao said: "What you said doesn't make sense! If that little girl killed Mr. Ma Da, why didn't she run away after the murder, but stayed in this ancestral hall, and the Chinese boy was on the wall of the village, too? He could just run away, so why bother coming back and putting himself in danger?"
Yuan Gongyi said: "He thought we wouldn't doubt him, so he dared to come back."
He said this, but he didn't have much confidence anymore. Because Mr. Ma Da was assassinated, under the current situation, it is absolutely impossible not to doubt the "Evil Dog Sect" and Hai Hongzhu. Yuan Gongyi's words are certainly not true. It makes so much sense.
Only Wu Zhengdao was heard saying: "There is some truth in what Mr. Zhong said, and this matter is indeed quite suspicious. However, when Mr. Ma was assassinated, only Mrs. Hua was beside him, guarding the two doors outside the ancestral hall. Neither Master Miaozhen nor Miss Ruoying saw anyone coming or going. This is an indisputable fact, and the murderous sword used to kill cannot be proven not to belong to Mrs. Hua. These two points alone point to Mrs. Hua as the murder suspect. , it’s not too much.”
He looked straight at Hua Bushi and said: "Now that the matter has come to an end, I don't want to hear any speculation. I just want Master Hua to give an explanation!"
Of course Hua Bushi knew that it would be very unfavorable if he wanted to turn against him and take action now. There were disciples of the "Nanhai" and "Danxia" sects inside and outside the ancient ancestral hall, and a group of masters from the four sects were waiting around. Hua Bushi himself has no martial arts, and Hai Hongzhu's martial arts are also poor. With Zhu Hong, Meng Huan, Bai Yiling and others, there is really little hope of protecting them and breaking out.
He came to Guangdong this time just to participate in the "Wanyi Conference". He had no intention of fighting with other forces. If he had known that he would get into such trouble, he would have been better off in the "Yezhuzhang" cottage that day. If he had refused the conditions of "Jingci Lin Nunnery" and stayed out of the matter completely, he would not have ended up in this situation.
Of course, if Yang Jiangyi and the forty-nine "Qingyun Guards" are accompanying them, they will not be afraid even if they have to face the enemies of the four major sects in Guangdong.
But now it is useless to think about it. Hua Bushi glanced at Wu Zhengdao and other four masters, with a calm expression on his face and said: "Since this matter involves my wife, Hua Bushi will understand I'll give you an explanation. But you have to give me some time. I want to find out who the murderer is. Before that, none of you can embarrass my wife. If Head Wu doesn't agree, everyone can only fight to the death immediately! "
Wu Zhengdao said: "I wonder how long it will take Master Hua to find out the murderer?"
Hua Bushi said: "Before the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, I will definitely find the murderer and give you an explanation. Anyway, this young master is going to Nan'ao on this trip. On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, he will be waiting for the "Wanyi Gate" boat at the dock of Nan'ao Town.
, you don’t have to worry about not being able to find me.”
Yuan Gongyi curled his lips and said: "There are several days left on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month. Why do we have to wait for such a long time? Who knows if you really want to go to Nan'ao? What if you take advantage of these few days to escape!"
"Senior Brother Head, what you said is wrong!" It was Cao Muyun who spoke. This handsome young master had been standing aside with his hands behind his back, as if he didn't want to participate in the discussion of the people in the hall, but now he only smiled slightly and said
: "As the person in charge of a sect, Mr. Hua believes that he will be able to do what he says. How could he do something like breaking his promise and running away? I think Mr. Hua's proposal is very reasonable."
Nowadays, in Nanquanzhuang, in addition to the four major sects, Cao Muyun, Xue Yuan and their "Tiger Ben Guards" are also forces that cannot be underestimated, and this Mr. Cao is a powerful man. He has put forward opinions
, of course cannot be ignored.
Wu Zhengdao pondered for a while and said: "Master Mu Yun's words are reasonable, and we are not unreasonable people, but this is the seventeenth day of the first lunar month..."
While he was speaking, he discovered that Hua Bushi was staring at the body of Mr. Ma Da on the chair, with a strange look in his eyes.
Wu Zhengdao's heart moved, and he immediately stopped talking and asked, "What did Master Hua discover?"
Hua Bushi said: "Have you noticed that Mr. Ma Da's posture when sitting on the chair is a little strange?"
Mr. Ma Da sat slumped on the big sandalwood chair. Although many people came forward to check the damage caused by the sword, none of them moved his body. At this time, Jinghua Bushi said it, and everyone in the room looked at it.
passed.
But I saw Mr. Ma Da holding the chair handle on one side with his left hand, his body tilted to the right, as if he was trying to stand up but failed, and his right hand was pressed on the chair under his body. It seemed that
It's a little strange.
However, when a person is killed by a sword, he must go through a process of pain and despair. It is normal for the body's limbs to twist and show weird postures, so no one felt anything wrong before.
Hua Bushi had no choice but to say: "Mr. Ma Da was hit with a sword in the back. According to common sense, he should want to look back at the murderer, but this posture seems to be hiding something on the chair."
He turned around and ordered: "Zhu Hong, go pick up Mr. Mada's body and see what's on that chair."
Zhu Hong agreed, walked to the chair, and reached out to hug Mr. Ma Da who was sitting on the chair. Hua Bushi's eyes suddenly turned, and he realized that among the masters of the four major sects in Guangdong, Wu Zhengdao and Yuan Gongyi had silently
He silently came to both sides of the chair and stared directly at Mr. Ma Da on the chair, his eyes shining brightly, as if he was ready to take action at any time, but Master Huang Lian and Zhong Bulao stood still and did not move.
