Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 609 Fairness

The air filled with the smell of blood lingered in the barren valley for a long time.

Under Ye Shuo's accusation, all the disciples looked up from Su Yanmo's body one after another, and turned to Leng Qi with deep astonishment.

Leng Xi was completely confused: "I...how can I...?"

But before he was allowed to think about it, Ye Shuo once again said righteously: "No matter what, killing people is always wrong! You can't hide this matter, even if you kill me to silence it, it's useless!"

These few sentences are undoubtedly the most concise explanation of the incident.

The onlookers stared at Leng Qi gradually becoming weird: "Really... is it the elder brother who killed the younger brother Su?"

The commotion in a small area lasted for a while, and finally, a disciple who seemed to have some prestige came out in front of Leng Xi: "Brother, come back with us to see Master."

Under his command, a group of disciples performed their duties.First, a few people took photos of the murder scene to collect evidence, then they picked up the murderous knife that fell on the ground, a few people lifted up Su Yanmo's body, a few people supported Leng Qi from left and right, and a few people supported "Frightened" Ye Shuo walked out of this ominous area together.

"No... don't listen to him..." Leng Qi came back to his senses at this moment, and struggled violently.He never imagined that someone could shout and catch a thief to such an extent!What's even more absurd is that all the brothers and sisters seem to have been deceived by him...

As the senior brother in the sect, these disciples were not so easy to control him, but Leng Qi lost all his spiritual power at this time, but he could only be manipulated like a useless person.While struggling, he tried his best to turn around, trying to find the traces of those two monsters. At least, their existence should provide him with some proof...?
But soon, Leng Xi's eyes widened in despair.

Gone...!Did that battle end so quickly?

No... The real one can't be fake, and the fake one can't be real... Leng Qi shook his head sharply, trying to regain his composure.Master knows me best, he will definitely uphold justice for me, and he will not let this sinner's plot succeed...!
Due to a mutation in the secret realm, the trial was forced to end early.After the disciple in charge sent a message to the head teacher, in just a moment, the scenery around them was like a curtain being drawn, and the scene of reality replaced the wilderness.It's just that the life of one student has stayed in that virtual zone forever.

In the main hall of Fushimen.

Mi Shen was in the main position, and the head teacher and all the elders were also present.At this time, the faces of the group of senior Taoists who usually had gentle smiles seemed to be covered with a thick layer of frost, and they exchanged glances from time to time, with an unconcealable disappointment in their expressions.

Leng Qi bowed his head and knelt on the steps, Ye Shuo, as a witness and victim, stood by his side and waited silently.There was also a group of onlookers crowded outside the hall.The whole scene was actually quite austere like a trial in three courts.

Ever since Leng Qi was escorted to the front and back of the hall, Mi Shen has never said a word.After about an incense stick, he slapped the armrest of the seat hard, with anger, heartache, and helplessness on his face.

"Leng Qi, what you have done recently has really disappointed me! Ye Shuo, tell me what happened again!"

Ye Shuo took a look at Leng Xi, then turned to Mi Shen, and answered fluently: "Brother Leng Xi had a dispute with Su Yanmo at the time, accusing him of promising to help me get a recommendation spot, why didn't it go well? Later, the dispute between the two escalated to a physical conflict, Senior Brother Leng Qi killed Su Yanmo in a fit of anger, and after I saw him, he wanted to kill me to silence him."

Before that, he had left traces of his soul on Su Yanmo, and thus heard his conversation with Leng Xi before the annual leave.Although I don't know the true meaning of the recommended quota, but just relying on these few words should be enough...

If he guessed correctly, Su Yanmo originally planned to blame Leng Qi after killing himself.After all, in the case of the Tower of Trials, Leng Xi had a history of assassinating him, so it will be easier to win the trust among his disciples.As for the reason, jealousy is the best reason.

It can be said that since Leng Xi decided to participate in this matter, he has committed the murderer's scapegoat.

"Master, don't let him complain first!" Leng Xi yelled angrily at this moment, pointing at Ye Shuo with trembling fingers, "He killed him, I just wanted to avenge Junior Brother Su... "

Mi Shen took a few deep breaths, and scolded bitterly: "You are confused! Even if you really saw him murder, you should hand him over to the government. If you kill him directly, you are also the murderer! This is A solution to the problem?"

Leng Xi was still waiting to argue, when a disciple hurried in outside the door, and said with a bow, "Master, the blood test results on the saber worn by senior brother have come out, and it matches the blood sample of the deceased. The knife edge also matches the blood sample of the deceased The fatal injuries are exactly the same." As he spoke, he looked at Leng Qi with complicated eyes.

Leng Xi's whole body was shocked. At this moment, he finally understood why Ye Shuo made a special trip to snatch his knife... From the very beginning, he had already planned all this...!
"No...not me! He was the one who took my knife at that time..." Leng Xi's defense seemed so weak under the conclusive evidence.

As expected, Mi Shen stared back impatiently: "How old are you, can't you even hold your own weapon?" Beckoning another disciple, he sighed wearily: "Now come out." Report to the authorities to deal with it." As soon as he said this, he looked a lot older in an instant, kneading the bridge of his nose with two fingers, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were more obvious than ever.

Seeing that the disciple had already taken out the jade slip, Leng Qi hissed in despair: "*****! I was wronged! I don't want to go to jail, Master!..."

"Should we investigate further?" At this moment, a gentle and pleasant voice suddenly sounded.Leng Qi turned her head in ecstasy, and saw a piece of pink clothes trailing by her side. Su Banxia had already reached the bottom of the stairs, standing side by side with Ye Shuo.

"My cousin once told me that Ye Shuo wanted to kill him. During this period of time, he has been living in fear. Now that my cousin was really killed, and he happened to be there, no matter what the truth is, we can't just kill him. On his own terms."

Leng Qi seized this chance, and nodded frantically: "Yes... yes, Junior Sister Banxia was the closest person to Junior Brother Su, and she knew Junior Brother Su best! I really didn't kill anyone!"

Ye Shuo looked back at Su Banxia, ​​and after a while, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You heard wrong."

"I just came to the Fu Shimen. I don't know Su Yanmo. I have no grievances or enmity. Why should I kill him? Now all the senior brothers are also present. You can ask them. Was there any conflict?"

Su Banxia bit her lip, knowing that Ye Shuo must have come prepared, but she just couldn't see him turning black and white like this!The murderer who killed his cousin, why should he talk here and put his crimes on others?
"Speaking of conflicts... I remembered," another disciple squeezed out from the crowd at this time, "Before the annual leave, I once saw Senior Brother and Senior Brother Su quarreling, it seems that it was also about recommending places. At that time, the elder brother also said, 'If you dare to perfunctory me, you will die or live, and I will no longer be responsible'."

Leng Qi felt as if he had been hit hard by a stick, and his whole body shook like chaff: "That's not the case, the meaning of that sentence is..."

Mi Shen interrupted in a deep voice: "Needless to say! You just need to answer, have you ever said this sentence? Just answer 'yes' or 'no'!"

Leng Xi swallowed his saliva, and under Master's stern gaze, he answered with difficulty: "...Yes. But..."

Mi Shen waved his hand, closed his eyes dejectedly, and leaned back in his chair with a sigh: "There are all the witnesses and material evidence, and I have no problem here. How to punish next is up to the government's disposition."

Leng Xi was sweating all over his head and face, his knees were struggling to move on the ground, and he kowtowed uncontrollably, a line of bloodstains soon appeared on the carpet.

"Master, I was raised by you! Don't you know what kind of person I am? Don't send me to prison—"

The shrill screams echoed in the hall, and the onlookers watched this scene, but it was difficult to feel sympathy.In any case, the elder brother is a murderer, he killed his fellow junior... If this murderer is not allowed to get the punishment he deserves, the next person he kills in the future may be himself...!
It wasn't until Leng Xi kowtowed all the way to the throne that Mi Shen sighed deeply: "This time you caused too much trouble, and I sent you to jail to save you..."

With difficulty, he got up from the seat, bowed his head slightly, and leaned close to Leng Xi's ear, "If I don't hand you over to the government in advance, the Su family will not let you go. At that time, your life will be at stake." Can't keep it."

The imperial envoys from the government came very quickly. When they put the heavy shackles on Leng Xi's wrists and escorted him out of the hall, Leng Xi still stared at a pair of despairing eyes, turned his head vigorously, and shouted hoarsely at the back: "Ye Shuo, I will never let you go! I will never let you go!"

Seeing Leng Xi being taken away, Su Banxia twisted her sleeves with her fingers irritably.She has a lot to say right now, but she doesn't know where to start.

If the truth is true, my cousin was worried that Ye Shuo was going to kill him, so he wanted to ask Leng Qi for help, and started to siege and kill him in the secret realm.In the end, because of internal disputes, she was murdered by Leng Qi... But she couldn't produce any definite evidence that Ye Shuo wanted to kill Su Yanmo. Ye Shuo took the opportunity to beat him up in the name of the victim...

Until now, she finally understood the powerlessness that her cousin felt at the beginning.Could it be that he really can only watch the other party get away with it?
Outside the main hall, the group of onlookers gradually dispersed, and the voices of discussion in twos and threes were still continuous.

"Tell me, what will happen to the big brother this time?"

"I heard that the Su family is quite rich. Senior brother killed their only son, and he will definitely be given a heavy sentence! I think he will have to stay in prison for the rest of his life."

"You guys are thinking too simple." Another disciple lowered his voice mysteriously, "He killed someone from the Su family, so can Master Su let him stay in prison for the rest of his life? Surely he won't be able to survive. It's been a few years..." As he spoke, he touched his neck with his palm, and made a corresponding "click" in his mouth.

***
On that day, in a small inn not far from Fushimen.

The door of the first-class guest room was knocked, and in front of the dusty Su Jun and Mu Manru, there were several officials with serious expressions.

"Excuse me, are they Master Su and Mrs. Su?"

The two elders of the Su family looked at each other and nodded slowly, with their hearts in their throats.

After the annual leave was over and Su Yanmo left home not long after, Mu Manru became more and more worried, and finally told her husband about it.At that time, Su Jun was frightened and angry, complaining why she didn't speak earlier, at the same time hurriedly packed his luggage, ordered his servants to prepare a car, and the two of them rushed to Fushimen on a starry night.

Just a few hours ago, they suddenly received a contact from the neighboring government. Although it was not stated clearly in the summons, both of them sensitively guessed that maybe the matter was related to their son!

I temporarily found a small inn to live in, and after explaining the address to the official, the two have been in panic.They also tried to contact Su Banxia, ​​but no one responded from the other end of the jade slip. This time, the two of them were even more at a loss. They could only pray hard, and it must not be the worst result...

"You two, please be mentally prepared." After the leading officer said, he waved behind him, and a stretcher covered with a white cloth was carried in.

The white cloth was lifted, revealing a pale young face.His eyes were closed tightly, and there was still a glaring scar on his neck.When Mu Manru saw it, she fainted on the spot.

Even Su Jun, who has always been calm in the mall, knelt down on the ground in a daze at this moment, staring at his son lying on the stretcher without blinking, his eyes were blood red, and tears welled up in his eyes.The fists hanging by his sides were clenched tightly, and there were large veins on the back of his hands. He tried his best to hold back, unwilling to let out his grief in front of outsiders.

But his utmost restraint was finally defeated by another heart-piercing cry.

"Mo'er! Open your eyes and look at your mother again!" Mu Manru woke up at some point, knelt down on the ground, and crawled all the way to the side of the stretcher, using both hands and feet.Trembling, he raised his hand, gently stroking Su Yanmo's already stiff side face, and tentatively stroking the bloodstain on his neck, crying and beating his chest, "Mo'er, wake up..."

In Su Jun's eyes, two turbid tears finally slipped down, and he buried his head deeply in front of the stretcher, punching the ground fiercely: "If there is anything wrong with him, even Tell me, I will discipline, why can't I leave him a way out!"

A few officials on the side watched silently, apparently they had seen too many such scenes in their daily life.At this time, he still asked in a business-like way: "You two, is he really your son Su Yanmo?"

Su Jun gritted his teeth and nodded. Mu Manru, who was crying to death, suddenly remembered something, and quickly asked, "Then where is the murderer? Where is the murderer who killed our son?"

The leading official replied: "The murderer has been taken into custody. If you two have nothing else to do, we will leave first."

After the official left, Mu Manru grabbed Su Jun's sleeve, and said in a hurry: "Master, let's go to the government... That murderer is just taking him into custody, it's too cheap for him!"

Su Jun wept silently for a long time before pulling out the sleeve from Mu Manru's hand and wiping the tears on his face very slowly.When he raised his head again, there were no tears in his eyes, but he was crying blood to his heart.Under the erosion of hatred, the bottom of her eyes had turned into a bloodthirsty bright red.

"No... go to Fushimen first. I want them... to hand over that murderer to me with their own hands!"
