Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 76: The Suspicious Case of the Cui Family

Zhao Changhe, who broke through the fourth level of the entrance earlier than he expected, was in a good mood while eating, and didn't bother to care about Cui Wen? Is Z pretending to be cool? Maybe he was really a prodigy when he was ninth on the list, five It's seven or eight months old.

What the hell.

I used to think that using that kind of broad sword was too heavy and I wasn’t strong enough. But as soon as the outer gate is broken, the strength increases greatly, which is very obvious. If swinging a ten-pound steel knife was very smooth and light before, now twenty or thirty pounds should not hinder the movement much. Maybe the durability is worse?

I was thinking about whether I should try that broad knife that was four or five feet long... But looking at the soft eyes of the little girl next to me, I thought to myself, forget it, she has already chosen a steel knife. If it doesn’t look good, let’s leave it like this for now.

Who knew that the little girl had already reserved the Daxia Longque Knife for him, but she didn't even introduce the name of this steel knife to him.

Both of them are thinking about each other, and even the eyes looking at each other exude an unspeakable sour smell.

When Cui Yuanyong stepped into the house, he could smell the stench in the wind and felt that he had come at the wrong time. In fact, it was very wrong for his sister to find a man.

As an elder brother, he has not even gotten engaged yet... Before leaving home last year, my family had just prepared to discuss marriage with the Wang family. It was extremely troublesome to go back and forth with the Wang family. The negotiation has not been settled yet, and the sister, who has not even grown her hair yet, is looking for a man first... …

"Second brother!" Cui Yuanyang noticed his arrival and waved happily to say hello.

"Huh? Brother Cui is here?" Zhao Changhe wiped his mouth and asked curiously: "Where have you been before? I haven't seen you from the beginning to the end of such a big event."

Cui Yuanyong smiled, casually sitting in his father's seat just now, and pouring wine for his guests: "Just say that when my sister-in-law was following behind you and witnessing the turmoil in the world, sooner or later the look in her eyes would be like that Change, look at the change this time, it's just like water, it still smells rancid."

Cui Yuanyang was stunned: "Second brother!"

Cui Yuanyong ignored his sister, turned to Zhao Changhe and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao's words of provocation just now are unnecessary. Do you really think the ghost is me?"

Cui Yuanyang’s expression changed.

Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "Why are you so sensitive? I just asked, I thought I was friends with you."

"I also know that some people will guess it's me. After all, my sister was lost in my hands. If you count the time she ran away to your cottage before, I let her run away twice in a row... Such a fool... So I can run, am I doing this on purpose?" Cui Yuanyong drank a glass of wine by himself and sighed: "Even if I am not a traitor, some people will make a fuss about this and say that I am not careful enough and my future is in doubt. ."

Cui Yuanyang felt a little embarrassed, saying that he had deceived his second brother quite miserably.

From her perspective, these two times have nothing to do with her second brother. She ran to the cottage in the middle of the night. How could her brother monitor her sleeping? Then there is a problem, okay? Later, when he ran away, it was none of his brother's business. It was his servants who escorted him back, but he made excuses for him to run away on the way. How could the second brother know?

Although it is a bit unwarranted, it is really difficult to take off the label of not being careful enough, and it is not unjust. Cui Yuanyong himself does not have much experience in the world, and it is a fact that he is not considerate enough.

Because of this, it is even more unlikely that Cui Yuanyong did it on purpose. He is the person who has firmly taken over the position, and it means nothing to him to do such a thing, and the reputation is still ugly.

Cui Yuanyong sighed and said: "As for the past few days, of course I went back to find you, and also found the city where you stayed... Who knew that you traveled all the way through the mountains and ridges, I I really can’t find you... To be nice, if you sneak back into the city and hide without going out, and wait for me to find you, maybe you won’t have so much trouble..."

This time even Zhao Changhe looked a little twitchy.

If you think about it carefully, it seems really true... Who said there were only two choices? This is obviously the third option, and it may be the safest. I have never thought about it at all, and I have never thought about it to this day...

Cui Yuanyang chuckled, took Zhao Changhe's hand, and said softly: "Ignore him."

Zhao Changhe finally nodded: "Okay, why do you keep defending yourself? I just made a joke."

"Because it's disgusting. There are a lot of people trying to blame me for this matter. It's like swallowing a fly. Now that the person involved is in front of me, how can I resist not saying a few words!" Cui Yuanyong asked his sister helplessly: "There will be three interrogations later. I am going to be interrogated as well. Will you go and observe?"

Cui Yuanyang thought for a while and nodded: "Brother Zhao and I will go together. Can Brother Zhao go?"

Cui Yuanyong said: "He is a party involved, and he originally had to provide some circumstantial evidence. But his situation is special. Dad doesn't say anything, and others can't really interrogate him like a prisoner by shouting at him. If you are yourselves It’s best if you are willing to participate.”

Zhao Changhe really wanted to go. He felt that there was something fishy about this matter, which aroused his curiosity to get to the bottom of it. What's more, the real murderer wants to kill Yangyang. If she doesn't find him, someone who wants Yangyang's life will be hanging out in front of her every day. It makes me shudder to think about it. Of course, he must find him and kill him.

Cui Yuanyang actually really doesn't want to know who it is, it would be uncomfortable for everyone, but she knows that this matter will eventually be settled.

…………

That night, the Cui family ancestral temple.

Zhao Changhe and Cui Yuanyang stood behind Cui Wen Z, peering into the field to see what was going on.

Cui Yuanyong and another young man who looked very similar to him stood side by side in the center, both looking helpless. The young man was even worse, with a declining look. The baby who seemed to have not suffered much was squatting in prison. In two days, half of my energy and energy were lost.

Cui Yuanyong's younger brother and Cui Yuanyang's third brother, Cui Yuancheng, is the biggest suspect this time.

There were many elders of the Cui family around, including Cui Wenjue, the governor of Qinghe County. This was not the assassination of a little girl, but the murder of a brother and sister within the family. It was an extremely serious problem that no family could tolerate.

A few of them were staring at Zhao Changhe, and the fierce pressure could make people feel numb all over.

Not to mention that you can’t tell who’s cultivation is on the surface, but when the eight or nine levels of the Mysterious Entrance or even the secret treasure masters stare at you, you can naturally feel the invisible and insubstantial pressure.

Zhao Changhe smiled nonchalantly. My father-in-law didn’t even try to show off to me, so my sister’s marriage was a crime.br/>

A clan elder spoke slowly: "Everyone must be aware of the matter. Let me emphasize one last time the reason why we have targeted Yuan Cheng. There are only a few ways to reward the underworld, and the Qinghe area has been cleared by us. The truth is that it was definitely spread through the Salt Gang's sales hall here. We caught the other party's leader and revealed that it was Yuan Cheng who made the announcement. The clues are very clear."

Everyone nodded. In fact, this is easy to investigate. There must be a channel to announce the reward, and there must be a place for others to receive the reward. It is too easy for the Cui family to uncover such things in Qinghe, and it is basically impossible to deny it.

But the problem is...

"However, after the man finished speaking, he bit the poison hidden in the gap between his teeth and committed suicide. It is precisely this point that shows the possibility of being bribed and framed, so someone raised the suspicion of Yuan Yong." The old man continued: "There are many people who hold this view, and Wen Jue thinks so."

Cui Wenjue nodded and said: "Yes, Yuan Yong, don't blame your uncle for being suspicious, anyone would be suspicious."

Cui Yuanyong said calmly: "As for my suspicion, I can explain it with just one point: as we all know, I was still on the way home when my little sister ran away. It was impossible to arrange it in time, unless it was arranged in advance. However, Her running away was an impulsive move. Even if she didn't necessarily know that she would run away, I had already arranged the reward. How could any of my uncles really think that Yuan Yong was a fool?"

Many people were nodding, including Zhao Changhe and Cui Yuanyang. Cui Yuanyang knew even more clearly that he was really impulsive at that time. Where was the premeditation? Who could have arranged it in advance?

But this is troublesome. Cui Yuancheng's suspicion has become more suspicious because of the other party's suicide. It is really impossible for Cui Yuanyong to arrange such a thing in advance. So by now, isn't the clue broken?

The Cui family was in vain to dominate the local area. As a result, their legitimate daughter was assassinated and the real culprit could not be found!

Countless eyes fell on the face of Cui Wen Z, who was silent. That meant, go and ask for the Qinghe Sword.

Zhao Changhe frowned.

He didn't know the properties of Qinghe Sword, but this posture always made him feel... could the opponent's target... be Qinghe Sword?
