() Ximen Qing took advantage of the situation and pulled out a very thin sharp knife hidden in the small goose feather fan, and the original fan handle became the handle of the sharp knife.
The sharp knife was displayed in front of everyone, and everyone felt a little creepy.
Especially Chao Gai.
Because Chao Gai and Wu Yong have known each other since childhood!
But Chao Gai had never heard Wu Yong talk about it, and he had never thought that Wu Yong would hide a sharp weapon!
Thinking of Wu Yong hanging around him all these years, shaking the goose feather fan that could pull out a sharp knife at any time, Chao Gai felt a wave of chills welling up in his heart.
Wu Yong has a wrong heart!
Seeing what could be said to be the biggest secret in his life being easily exposed by Ximen Qing, Wu Yong's face turned pale.
"Pedant, since you refuse to say it, I will say it for you." Ximen Qing said very politely: "If what I said is wrong, feel free to point it out."
"Zengtou City didn't snatch Duan Jingzhu's Zhaoye Jade Lion at all? As for Duan Jingzhu, I'm afraid it was you who arranged to report the false news. This matter was a lie and a conspiracy from the beginning!
"
"When Shi Wengong is captured alive, with just one word, your conspiracy will be exposed. So when you panic, you not only want to kill Shi Wengong, but also Duan Jingzhu, so that you can cover up the crime."
"As the saying goes: Death never proves its truth. Is it true or not?"
Wu Yong listened to Ximen Qing's talk, and almost no secret could be hidden from Ximen Qing's eyes. He argued forcefully: "You said that I killed Shi Wengong and Duan Jingzhu. Do you have evidence? This sharp knife is for self-defense. I have never used it before."
Yes, what kind of evidence is this?"
Ximen Qing smiled, took a step forward, held the sharp knife under Wu Yong's nose, and explained carefully: "Pedant, although you wiped the knife clean afterwards, you forgot that there were some blood stains that had solidified on the blade.
The groove cannot be wiped clean by just wiping."
"this"
Wu Yong was immediately speechless.
"Is it you who asked Duan Jingzhu to kill Shi Wengong that night, and then killed Duan Jingzhu?" Ximen Qing said with a smile: "Pedant, you are really good at it, but you kept carrying the evidence with you all the time.
.I thank you for that.”
"As for who is the mastermind between you and Song Jiang, let Song Jiang decide for himself."
Ximen Qing said and stepped away. Wu Yong saw Song Jiang gritting his teeth and getting up tremblingly from the ground. His numb knees became weak and he almost fell down again.
Ximen Qing reached out to help him, but Song Jiang pushed Ximen Qing's hand away in fear. After being hit by Ximen Qing twice, Song Jiang never dared to let Ximen Qing get close to him again.
"Song Gongming, what do you have to say?"
Chao Gai, the King of Pagodas, did not order Song Jiang to be tied up, but instead looked at him with cold eyes.
Song Jiang smiled bitterly, "It's too late! I didn't expect that Ximen Qing would reveal the plans carefully planned by himself and Wu Yong, and even Wu Yong would come to bite him. What else could he say?"
So Song Jiang just bowed his hand to Chao Gai: "I just ask the King of Heaven to let Song Jiang and his family go, out of love for the past."
Before Song Jiang finished speaking, a somewhat immature voice rang out from the crowd: "Song Jiang! You killed my brother, how do you settle the account?"
"Hua Yuerong!"
Ximen Qing glanced at the crowd and immediately saw Hua Yuerong heading this way. There was a middle-aged man with her, but Ximen Qing had no influence.
Chao Gai turned around in surprise: "Yue Rong, why are you with brother Jin Dajian?"
"I have seen the big leader." Jin Dajian brought Hua Yuerong forward and bowed first: "I have seen the master Ximen."
"Sister Yuerong!"
There was an exclamation from the crowd, and Ximen Qing knew that it was Xueer who had arrived without even looking at him.
Now that the mystery has been solved, Xue'er naturally doesn't have to pretend in the courtyard. Unexpectedly, she saw Hua Yuerong appear as soon as she came over, so Xue'er naturally wanted to rush out.
"Sister Xue'er!"
Before Hua Yuerong could speak, two lines of tears fell down: "My brother is dead!"
Xue'er stepped forward and hugged Hua Yuerong gently, comforting: "We all know this, sister Yuerong, don't worry, my master has the final say in everything."
When Song Jiang saw Hua Yuerong appear, and she was with Jin Dajian, his face was naturally filled with excitement.
Jade armsmith Jin Dajian?
Could it be that Song Jiang has already started working on Tadpole Wen Shi Jie?
Ximen Qing saw the expression on Song Jiang's face with cold eyes and knew that he was most likely right.
Song Jiang, this black fat man, is really courageous!
No wonder he is anxious to kill himself and King Chao Tianwang!
"Yue Rong, it's up to me to decide this matter." Chao Gai, the King of Pagoda, glanced at Song Jiang with a meaningful look: "No matter who he is, he can't be lawless."
Hua Yuerong took out the folded letter paper from her arms and put it gently on the table: "Brother Tianwang, this letter was written to you by my brother before he died. It was originally intended to be delivered through Brother Ximen, but now everyone is here
, I just took it out directly."
"What, Hua Rong's last letter?"
"What was written in the letter?"
Song Jiang and Wu Yong's eyes met inadvertently. This was an issue that neither of them had considered in advance.
Especially Wu Yong, who looked disappointed.
Chao Gai nodded, picked up the letter and unfolded it. Unexpectedly, an object fell out of it and landed on the table with a "thud".
Waist card, see waist card again!
Song Jiang's face suddenly changed color!
Ximen Qing had quick eyesight and quick hands, and immediately grabbed the waist card on the table.
Another piece of Imperial City Secretary's belt!
Wu Song obviously noticed it and looked over with a questioning look.
Ximen Qing shook his head slightly, indicating not to say it yet.
Who knows what Hua Rong’s last words were?
Ximen Qing and Wu Song each had a badge from the Imperial City Division, and Monk Da Yuan from Fahua Temple also had one. Now Hua Rong suddenly got another one.
Could it be that the Imperial City Division's waist cards are handed out casually like cabbage?
Ximen Qing couldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.
However, seeing the sudden change in color on Song Jiang's face, Ximen Qing deduced a possibility.
Song Jiang may also have one in his hands!
Ximen Qing and Wu Song's waist badges were used to report to the Imperial City Department, while Monk Dayuan secretly monitored the movements of Zengtou City. No wonder they bought in after seeing Hua Rong's waist badges.
As members of the Imperial City Division, what is the purpose of Song Jiang and Hua Rong going to Liangshan?
Ximen Qing originally believed that Song Jiang planned to assassinate Chao Gai in order to seize the top spot in Liangshan; now it seems that there may not be another reason.
What kind of organization is the Imperial City Division that wants to place personnel in Liangshan?
A ridiculous inference appeared in Ximen Qing's mind: This Imperial City Secretary could not be the FBI in ancient times, a spy and an undercover agent.
But now is not the time to ask Song Jiang, let's first see how Chao Gai reacts to Hua Rong's legacy letter.
Chao Gai quickly read Hua Rong's last letter, but what everyone didn't expect was that after reading it, Chao Gai stuffed the letter into his arms without announcing the content of the letter.
"Come here, lock up Song Jiang and Wu Yong." Chao Gai ordered: "Send someone to guard them 24 hours a day, without any mistakes!"
"In addition, troops will be sent to guard the residences of these two people. Except for the supply of daily necessities, all personnel are strictly prohibited from entering or exiting!"
To be honest, Song Jiang was already prepared to wait for death. Unexpectedly, Chao Gai just imprisoned him and restricted the movement of his family members.
After Song Jiang and Wu Yong were escorted away, Chao Gai gave Ximen Qing a meaningful look and said, "Xian brother, come with me!"
Next, Chao Gai and Ximen Qing had a long conversation.
The conversation was taking place inside Chao Gai's house, and the door was tightly closed.
Leader Ruan Xiaoer and other soldiers were guarding the outside to ensure that no one eavesdropped.
In fact, Chao Gai issued a terrifying order.
"Before Brother Ximen and I come out, anyone who tries to approach this house will be killed without mercy!"
Seeing Chao Gai's unprecedented seriousness, Ruan Xiaoer, the second leader, accepted the order sternly, and surrounded the house from three floors inside and three outside.
The conversation continued until it was time to light the lamp.
When the door of the house was opened and Chao Gai and Ximen Qing appeared at the door, both of them looked a little tired.
Ruan Xiaoer secretly breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what the two discussed inside, Ruan Xiaoer didn't want to know.
However, no one has come to cause trouble, so Ruan Xiaoer has just finished his job.
"Second brother, thank you for your hard work."
Chao Gai's greeting made Ruan Xiaoer feel that everything was worth it.
Ximen Qing was still dressed as a soldier and said goodbye to Chao Gai: "It's getting late. I have to take care of Xiao Tianqing's funeral when I go back, so I won't have dinner with Brother Tianwang."
Chao Gai nodded and said, "My dear brother, go away."
As soon as Ximen Qing left, a series of messages were reported to Chao Gai one after another.
The first is the message sent by people sent by Zhugui in Dry Land.
"Dai Zong and Li Kuitou led a team down the mountain and disappeared without a trace!"
Liu Tang, who was originally going to guard Song Jiang's family, came to report in person:
"Song Jiang's whole family is missing! All the gold, silver and soft goods were taken away! Only the maids and servants are left!"
"Bold!" Chao Gai was furious: "Dai Zong and Li Kui must have seen something bad and moved Song Jiang's family down the mountain! How could Zhu Gui let it go so easily? He must have let it go on purpose!"
When Liu Tang saw Chao Gai getting angry, he lowered his head and waited for the order.
Chao Gai thought for a while, looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's all God's will, that's all."
"Brother Liu Tang, you and Brother Ruan Xiao will take a closer look to find out who else sneaked down the mountain. By the way, I'd like to warn Zhu Gui, don't let him go anymore."
Liu Tang and Ruan Xiaoer heard a bit of desolation from Chao Gai's words, and persuaded him: "Brother, why should you be angry? Those who left are just the people around Song Jiang. Their fate has been exhausted, and it is useless to force them to stay. Anyway,
The two culprits left behind are Song Jiang and Wu Yong."
After hearing this, Chao Gai nodded and said nothing.
Liu Tang and Ruan Xiaoer had just left, and the people who came to visit seemed to be those who were relatively close to Song Jiang and Wu Yong in the past, such as Yan Shun, Wang Aohu, Zheng Tianshou and others from Qingfeng Mountain, or maybe they were the original ones.
Li Jun, Li Li and others from Jieyang Town.
Chao Gai naturally knew that these people were anxious to express their position, just as Ximen Qing had just said to him, so he did not blame anyone, but instead offered words of comfort.
These people were uneasy when they came, fearing that the situation on the mountain would suddenly change and they would be implicated. Unexpectedly, Chao Gai did not intend to accuse him at all, and they all left happily.
"Everything is exactly as Brother Ximen expected, it's just the solution proposed by Brother Ximen."
Thinking of the plan proposed by Ximen Qing just now, Chao Gai was still a little hesitant.
In Ximen Qing's yard next door, there was already a faint sound of flute, which seemed to be commemorating the death of Xiao Tianqing.
