Yao Yuanxiao ordered to be executed with force, in order to vent his anger. At this time, the city lord and the eldest lady pleaded with mercy, and had to hold her fist and said, "Miss is kind-hearted, Yao just obeys the order."
He said, waved his hand and asked the gang to go down.
Hua Bushi said, "There is another thing that must be reported to Miss Lan'er that Xiong Kui, the butler of Xiongjiazhuang, who was captured into the city lord's mansion, was the black-clothed killer who went to the Baring Tower a few months ago."
Yao Yuanxiao had just sat down on the chair again, and when he heard this, he became angry again, saying, "Xiang Kui really ate Xiong Xinbao Qi. He had done such a bad thing a few months ago! Couldn't Master Hua misunderstand?"
Hua Bushi said: "I have some experience in identifying physical appearance, so I will definitely not misunderstand it."
Chai Lin said: "A few months ago, the rumors about the city lord, the eldest lady and the young master Hua were spreading everywhere. Xiong Kui went to the Barking Tower to assassinate the young master Hua. He must have been instructed. It seems that Xiong Bailing had planned this city for a long time."
Sima Rulan said: "Where does Uncle Chai start with this?"
Chai Lin said: "Xiong Bailing is scheming and wants to take advantage of the marriage between his son Xiong Tiannan and the eldest lady to control Okura Castle. Of course, he wants to get rid of Young Master Hua who has been slandered with the eldest lady. Now he actually faked the lie that Sima City Lord agreed to get married and tried to hide the situation, which is also to achieve this goal. I think Xiong Tiannan is most likely to be instructing Xiong Bailing to manipulate the daughter behind her back. Otherwise, the playboy Xiong Tiannan would not have obtained such a strange poison drug as "Rock Powder", and his plan would not be planned so carefully."
Okura Castle was founded by Sima Zhufeng. In the minds of the residents of Okura Castle and even the gang members of the "Wanjintang", the prestige of Sima City Lord is extremely high and supports everyone. It is almost impossible to defeat Sima Zhufeng and seize Okura Castle. Sima Zhufeng has no descendants, only Sima Rulan, and he has the plan to hand over this city to her in the future. Therefore, if you want to get Okura Castle, marrying Sima Rulan is the easiest way.
Sima Zhufeng's conditions for choosing a son-in-law were very strict. He would not have liked the langdala prince like Xiong Tiannan, who was not as good as martial arts. Xiong Bailing could only achieve this with a strategy. Now it seems that this strategy has been taken as a result.
Sima Rulan looked at Chai Lin, but her eyes showed a look of confusion and asked, "How can Uncle Chai assert that Daddy's promise to marry was a lie? I and Elder Yao carefully read the letter of the day. It was indeed Daddy's handwriting, and it should not be fake."
Chai Lin said: "The virtuous niece should know that it is not difficult to forge handwriting. As long as you get the original handwritten book of the city lord, you can find someone to imitate it. It is not surprising that you create fake letters without flaws. The so-called handwriting is really not worthy of."
Sima Rulan said: "Even if the handwriting is not enough, it is just difficult to distinguish the authenticity. Why is Uncle Chai so sure that the letter is a fake?"
Chai Lin hesitated for a moment, turned his head and glanced at Hua Bushi, then sighed and said, "I concluded that Sima City Lord agreed to Xiong Bailing's proposal for marriage was fake, and there is a reason for it. Alas, Uncle Chai has been hiding this matter, just because he couldn't bear to see Lan Er's niece, but this matter could not be hidden, so now he has to tell his virtuous niece."
He paused and whispered: "Actually, the Lord of Sima City was unfortunately assassinated in Nanquan Village near Longchuan City, Guangdong four months ago."
Sima Rulan suddenly widened his eyes and said, "What did you say!"
Chai Lin said: "A few months ago, I learned about this for the first time from Master Hua's mouth. Later, I found the Baidao Sect in Guangdong who was assassinated by Sima that day, inquired about it, including Master Huanglian from "Jingcilin Temple" and Zhong Bulao from "Dinghu Sect". They all confirmed this. Don't be sad with the niece of Lan'er. Uncle Chai will tell you the details now..."
At this moment, the envoy of Chai Lin, Sima Zhufeng, was named Mr. Ma Da. Under the protection of the four major Baidao sects in Guangdong, they went from Luyuan Grand Canyon to Nanao Town, but they were assassinated when they encountered an enemy in Nanquan Village. The news about Chai Lin came from Master Huanglian and Zhong Bulao, so he only knew the situation at that time that a mysterious assassin sneaked into the ancient family ancestral hall and killed Sima Zhufeng without everyone's notice. Later, Liang Wude, one of the "Nine Dragons" of the Dragon Palace tribe, admitted that the murderer was the commander of the Black Dragon Palace, but he did not know that the mysterious assassin who killed people was Cao Muyun.
Sima Rulan listened to Chai Lin's story about her father's murder without saying a word. Until Chai Lin finished speaking, she still sat in a daze on the chair, silent.
It took a while before she spoke, "You guys sit here for a while, Lan'er will go to the backyard first."
Sima Rulan said as she stood up, covered her face with her long sleeves and ran towards the back hall. Although she brushed her face with her hands, when she turned around and left, two lines of tears had already flowed out from her fingers and fell on the ground.
After watching the eldest lady's figure disappear from the screen, everyone in the hall looked at each other and felt sad.
Hua Bushi and Hai Hongzhu had already known that Sima Zhufeng was dead, but it was the first time that the inner hall elder Yao Yuanxiao heard about it. He was extremely sad and angry and blamed him loudly: "Elder Chai, you have known this for a long time. Why didn't you tell us these days when you came to the island?"
Chai Lin said: "I am ashamed to say that I have never said it. I am afraid that my niece is sad and sad. However, the more important reason is that I came to Okura Island this time and found that the city is full of dangers. If this news spreads, it will definitely cause chaos. I just want to wait until all the people are collected to deal with the crisis before making it public."
He sighed and said, "Oh, but he didn't expect Xiong Bailing would take action first and fabricate the lie that Sima City Lord agreed to the marriage, and then used such a vicious plan to almost harm Lan'er's niece. This was indeed Chai Lin's fault!"
Yao Yuanxiao said: "Why wouldn't it make the eldest lady even more sad when you tell the bad news at this time? How can you have a good life?"
Chai Lin and Yao Yuanxiao both came from the Shaolin school and were both fellow disciples of Sima Zhufeng. They had a deep friendship with each other. Compared with Chai Lin for many years in Central China, Yao Yuanxiao has always stayed in Okura City. It can be said that he was watching Sima Rulan grow up and caring for the eldest lady is three points better than Chai Lin.
Yao Yuanxiao rebuked angrily, and Chai Lin was speechless. After a while, he said to Hua Bushi and Hai Hongzhu: "Master Hua, Miss Hai, you are all friends who are familiar with Lan Er's niece. Compared to our uncles and elders, we are more vocal. Now, how can she hear about the death and death? I must be heartbroken. Please ask the two to go to the backyard to persuade her?"
