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 come to both sides of the chair, staring directly at Mr. Ma Da on the chair.
There was a glint in his eyes, and he was ready to take action at any time, but Master Huang Lian and Zhong Bulao stood still and made no move.
His scheming and reaction were both extraordinary, and he immediately guessed the inside story: Mr. Ma Da must have something that Wu Zhengdao and Yuan Gongyi wanted to get, and it was probably the legendary "plate"
"Dragon Jue" jade pendant, so when the two of them heard that Mr. Ma Da had hidden something on the chair, they subconsciously stepped forward and prepared to snatch it.
However, Master Huang Lian already knew that this object was not in Mr. Ma Da's possession, just because Master Miaozhen and others from "Jingci Lin'an" escorted Mr. Ma Da all the way south.
If this thing existed, it would have been taken away a long time ago. Therefore, Master Huang Lian remained calm and stopped. As for Zhong Bulao who never stepped forward, it was probably true as he said, and he had no greed for the treasure, otherwise "Dinghu Sect"
"He won't be the only one coming here alone.
At this time, Zhu Hong had already picked up Mr. Ma Da's body, and the right hand and wooden chair that had been pressed under him were also exposed.
Everyone looked at the chair, especially Wu Zhengdao and Yuan Gongyi, their eyes were as eager as hungry wolves looking at fresh meat. But after just a moment, their eyes turned cold, just because
The chair under Mr. Mada was completely empty. There was no treasure anywhere.
However, Hua Bushi's eyes suddenly lit up, he came to the chair in a few steps, grabbed Mr. Ma Da's right hand, looked at it twice, and then leaned over to inspect the chair.
The big sandalwood chair was originally coated with black paint. There were some shallow scratches on the black paint surface of the chair. If you didn't get closer and look carefully, you would definitely not notice it.
Seeing Hua Bushi's actions, Wu Zhengdao and Yuan Gongyi, who were already looking disappointed, suddenly became energetic. Even Master Huang Lian, who was standing still, had a gleam of surprise in her eyes.
"Did Master Hua see the clues?" Wu Zhengdao couldn't bear it anymore and asked.
Hua Bushi said: "There is black paint left in the nail of the index finger of Mr. Ma Da's right hand. It can be seen that when he was dying, he used his nails to carve the chair surface. The reason why he pressed his body sideways on his right hand was to avoid
Let the murderer discover his actions."
Yuan Gongyi stepped in front of the wooden chair in one step and lowered his head to look at the scratches on the chair surface.
"What is this painting? It looks a bit like the word 'death'." Yuan Gongyi murmured.
Hua Bushi said: "In my opinion, it looks more like the character 'seven'."
Yuan Gongyi looked at it again and said: "That's right! It's just the word 'seven'!"
Wu Zhengdao also approached the wooden chair and carefully inspected the chair surface. Then he grabbed Mr. Ma Da's finger and looked at it, saying: "Young Master Hua really has a keen eye. The character 'seven' on this chair must be Ma Da."
Sir, I don’t know what the purpose of carving the word ‘seven’ was before he died.”
His eyes were fixed on Hua Bushi's face, and it was obvious that the person he was asking about was this young master.
Hua Bushi shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know what Mr. Ma Da means by drawing the word 'seven'. I have only known Mr. Ma Da for two or three days, and only met him a few times. I have no respect for him at all."
I understand, even if I don’t know his identity, even if I want to guess, I can’t.”
Wu Zhengdao said: "Some people may not know each other even though they have known each other for hundreds of years, and some people can become confidants after just one meeting. I think Master Hua and Mr. Ma Da are close friends. Otherwise, there are so many people in this hall, why is it that only Master Hua can do it?"
Did you find he left a note on the chair?"
Hua Bushi said: "It is purely a coincidence that I found the writing. If Master Wu thought that I was Mr. Ma Da's confidant, he was wrong."
The eldest young master had a carefree expression on his face, but he was secretly worried: Wu Zhengdao is indeed the leader of the four major sects in Guangdong, the head of the "Nanhai Sect", he has a vicious vision and is really difficult to deal with.
Extremely, it is no exaggeration to say that he is an old fox!
Hua Bushi said that he did not know the meaning of the characters carved on the chair, which was certainly not true.
In fact, as soon as he saw the word "seven", he immediately remembered the many words he and Mr. Ma Da had talked about while hiding in the luggage compartment of the carriage when passing through the Luyuan Grand Canyon that day. Afterwards, Mr. Ma Da said
He once specifically reminded him not to forget what he said in the carriage. At that time, Hua Bushi felt a little confused, but now he thought about it, there must be a mystery hidden in those words.
Mr. Ma Da once said that he was not going to die soon, and he might have predicted what would happen today, so he hid his secret in words that were almost gossip and told Hua Bushi. Of course, if there is no necessary reminder,
No matter how smart Hua Bushi is, he will never understand the meaning. This is the purpose of Mr. Ma Da carving the word "seven" on the chair.
The biggest secret about Mr. Ma Da is the thing that Wu Zhengdao, Yuan Gongyi and others thought of obtaining, and that thing is most likely the legendary "Panlong Jue" that can obtain the treasure of Swallowing Whale Island.
However, how can we unlock the secret of this single word "seven"?
As Hua Bushi's mind raced, he recalled many of Mr. Ma Da's words in the carriage that day. Which of them were related to "seven"? And at that moment, he unintentionally revealed his thoughts and pondered.
, the look that seemed to have enlightenment was caught by Wu Zhengdao. Although the young master immediately realized his gaffe and changed his expression in a moment, it was already too late!
"Just now, when I saw Master Hua looking at the handwriting on the chair, I seemed to have some understanding. I guess I have figured out the meaning of the word 'seven'. I wonder if I can teach you something?" Wu Zhengdao refused to let it go and stared at it.
The young master from Huada asked closely.
Hua Bushi sighed and said helplessly: "As for the word 'seven', I did have some thoughts just now, but then I felt that it was ridiculous, so I didn't say anything."
Wu Zhengdao said: "Young Master Hua, if you have an idea, please tell me so that everyone can hear it. Even if it is ridiculous, there is no harm in it."
Hua Bushi said: "When a person who is assassinated leaves a message before his death, he usually writes the name of the person who killed him, so that future generations can avenge him. Mr. Ma Da wrote the word 'seven',
That’s what I think it means.”
Wu Zhengdao frowned and said, "But whose name is this character 'seven'?"
Hua Bushi said: "Although there are many people with 'qi' in their names or nicknames in the world, the one with the greatest reputation that people can immediately think of is the 'Seven sects of the Central Plains'. So I guess that the killer
The murderer who killed Mr. Ma Da must have been sent by the 'Seven Major Sects of the Central Plains'."
Before Wu Zhengdao could answer, Yuan Gongyi on the side had already rebuked: "What nonsense! If the 'Seven Sects of the Central Plains' want to kill Mr. Ma Da, they can just send their masters here. We can't stop him. Why do you need to do such a trick and assassination?"
Hua Bushi said: "What Master Yuan said is absolutely true. I just thought about this and realized that my guess was ridiculous and unrealistic. That's why I didn't want to tell you."
The so-called "seven sects of the Central Plains" are, of course, perfunctory words fabricated by Hua Bushi. Even if such lies can deceive a rough man like Yuan Gongyi, they probably cannot fool that old fox Wu Zhengdao. However, at this time, Hua Bushi He had already made up his mind and decided to fight to the death. Anyway, Wu Zhengdao couldn't be sure of anything based on just a fleeting expression. At most, he only had doubts in his heart.
In fact, Hua Bushi still hasn't figured out the true meaning of the word "seven" carved by Mr. Ma Da. And if Mr. Ma Da said those words in the carriage, would Wu Zhengdao and others be able to understand it? Killing people and silencing them in order to seize the treasure is still unreasonable, and it will definitely not do any good to the situation of the "Evil Dog Gate" group.
Nowadays, Hua Bushi has only a few people around him, so it is quite difficult to protect himself. The four factions have an absolute advantage in strength. Although they are still wary of the "Evil Dog Gate" and do not want to easily make enemies, if it involves "discussing" "Long Jue" and the treasures of Tunwhale Island, Wu Zhengdao and others will definitely not show mercy.
The law of the jungle is an unchangeable principle in the world.
Wu Zhengdao's eyes were like lightning, staring closely at Hua Bushi's face, but the young master Hua had a calm expression, as if he was not aware at all. Previously, he only made the other party aware of it by accident, but now of course he No more flaws will be revealed.
After a long time, Wu Zhengdao said: "I see. I also believe that it is impossible for the "Seven Major Sects of the Central Plains" to come to kill Mr. Ma Da. I am afraid that Young Master Hua has guessed wrong."
He rolled his eyes and added: "However, since the origin of the murderer cannot be guessed from this message, the matter of tracing the murderer still falls on Mr. Hua. According to the previous agreement, Mr. Hua will be here at the latest On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, the murderer must be handed over, otherwise we and other four factions will have no choice but to treat Mrs. Hua as the murderer and deal with her!"
Hua Bushi nodded and said: "Okay, let's make it an agreement, but these ladies can't embarrass my young master's wife, nor can they restrict the actions of me and my group."
When he said this, Hua Bushi looked at the masters of the four sects in the ancestral hall. Master Zhong Bulao and Huang Lian both nodded in agreement. Yuan Gongyi, who had been opposing just now, actually did not raise any objection. I don't know if it was because of Cao Muyun. The words he said were due to a change in circumstances and the discovery of the writing left on Mr. Mada’s chair.
This also made the young master feel a little relieved. At this time, he was weak, and it was difficult for Hai Hongzhu to remove the suspicion of murder. If Yuan Gongyi and others wanted to use force, the two sides would fight, "Evil Dog Gate" It is extremely unfavorable. Now that the two sides can temporarily compromise, they can avoid a lot of danger.
