Natural Born Winner: 180. Both good and evil
Immediately, some people raised doubts, "As Master Tao is a martial arts senior, it is not surprising that there is a secret room in the dormitory. It may be an important thing in the villa. If it is opened without authorization, it will inevitably be a violation of Yumen Villa and the late Tao Zhuang. Offend the Lord."
Each sect has treasures and cheats, and it is very common to have tunnels and secret rooms.
The person who made the guess was not to be outdone, and said, "What if the murderer who killed Master Tao really escaped into the secret room, and if he doesn't make a decisive decision, maybe people will run away."
This makes sense,
Not only them, but even Gu Ying and other disciples who were deeply grieved by the death of their master were also a little tangled.
At this time, even though he knew that speaking out would put him in a disadvantageous position and even be suspected by others, Meng Yu still confessed, "To tell the truth, Shaotang and I were once entrusted to crack the Passing through the hidden compartment of one of the organs, unexpectedly, it is exactly the same as this place in Master Tao's bedroom..."
Everyone was shocked, and many disciples from the villa who respected and admired Tao Zhongfang glared at them with unkind expressions.
Obviously, the person who peeped into the secret room of the owner's bedroom and killed the owner is very likely to be the same person.
Meng Yu also knows that the two of them have become the target of public criticism because of these words. Not to mention the disciples of Yumen Villa, even Sang Jianshen, who has a close relationship with Master Tao, is also here, but he can't just get rid of himself. Even if he concealed the important clues, he felt sorry for him.
At this time, Meng Yu wished he could go back to those days, and shoot that greedy self to death, and even indirectly killed a highly respected martial arts senior.
Jiang Shaotang also looked solemn and solemn, and made a promise on the spot, "If Master Tao's death is related to this secret mechanism, the two of us will definitely not shirk our responsibility."
Meng Yu followed suit, "We will definitely try our best to track down the real culprit who killed Master Tao."
"As for the hidden mechanism, we have already figured out a way to break it that day." Meng Yu bit the bullet and said, feeling that the surrounding eyes were even more unfriendly.
"No need." Sang Jianshen's indifferent voice sounded like snow.
Seeing that everyone moved out of the way for him, Sang Guiqiu drew out his sword, and slashed at the hidden mechanism with a sword. When the secret door was broken open with force, hundreds of three-inch spears were instantly shot out. A small arrow with a slight blue light.
Meng Yu said in surprise, "Be careful, there is poison on the arrow."
When everyone heard the words, they hurriedly avoided to prevent themselves from being hurt by the poisonous arrows,
As for Sang Jianshen, who was facing the attack, he drew his sword directly, and his swordsmanship was indeed as heavy as a knife, and the huge sword's momentum directly crushed the almost impenetrable small arrow into pieces.
Everyone lamented that Sang Guiqiu's swordsmanship was extraordinary. Although he hadn't come out of the mountain for many years, his swordsmanship realm was only profound, and he did not regress in the slightest.
However, some people noticed the organ protecting the secret room, "This method is too sinister." The mood of others was a little bit better, and it seemed that it didn't quite match the benevolent image of Master Tao.
Don't wait to think about it, it is still a top priority to find the real culprit who killed Master Tao.
Sang Guiqiu was the fastest to go in, and after almost destroying the small arrow array, he was gone in the blink of an eye, and those who followed him suddenly heard a long howl of sword energy, almost soaring to the sky.
Meng Yu and Jiang Shaotang glanced at each other, not knowing what stimulated Sang Jianshen, they stepped into the secret room in a flash, only to see Sang Guiqiu holding a blood-stained swaddle in his hand, and weeping.
Both of them are smart people, the baby who can make Sang Guiqiu so excited can only belong to one person, Sang Guiqiu's youngest son who died in less than half a month.
It's just why the swaddling baby was stained with blood, and why it was in Master Tao's secret room. Didn't it mean that Daxia Sang's wife and children were all murdered and buried in the sea of fire, or were the bones restrained by Master Tao himself?
Meng Yu made a bold guess, but it seemed too unbelievable.
When I was thinking about it, I heard a bitter cry, "I am not filial, I am sorry for the upright ancestors, masters, elders, and all the brothers."
"Isn't this an upright treasure, the Haoran Sword? Why is it in Master Tao's secret room?" Someone exclaimed when they saw a clear blue and white long sword in the sword box on the cabinet.
Suddenly, there was an uproar inside and outside the secret room. The Zhengqi School was destroyed by the Demon Sect. It was a major event that shocked the world 27 years ago. Taught the girl Feiyin to fall in love, the head of Zhengqi School and the elders killed the demon girl Feiyin who abducted their heir, unexpectedly made Ling Xiu hate him, colluded with the demon sect to invade Zhengqi School, and finally Lingxiu died under the sword of his master Zhengqi School , but the upright style was also destroyed, and the only survivor was the youngest disciple of Lingzi's generation, Taoist Lingguang.
Taoist Lingguang was also seriously injured at the time, but fortunately his friend Tao Zhongfang spent half of his family's wealth to ask a ghost doctor for treatment, so he saved his life. Afterwards, Taoist Lingguang hated the Demon Sect deeply, joined the Zhengwu League, and became the backbone of the righteous way against the Demon Sect.
Everyone thinks that the Haoran Sword, the treasure of the righteous school, was taken away by the Demon Sect in the battle of its destruction. Ling Guang also swore in front of his master's tomb that he would destroy the Demon Sect and regain the Haoran Sword in this life.
Unexpectedly, this Haoran sword was actually in the secret room of Tao Zhongfang, the owner of Yumen Villa, which shocked everyone.
Daoist Lingguang knelt in front of the Haoran sword, weeping in pain, just like a child.
Others were also filled with emotion when they saw it. For many years, they have mistrusted their friends, and of course it feels uncomfortable to be deceived.
There is another public case. Sang Guiqiu is not only excellent in swordsmanship, but also not weak in lightness kungfu. Not long after, he caught the butler of the villa who was about to escape, and said angrily, "Tell me, how did my wife and children die back then? Yes... Is Jiang Chao my son?"
When he said this, he couldn't help looking at Jiang Chao, his eyes were moist,
Since the death of his wife and children in the sea of fire was related to Tao Zhongfang, as well as the blood-stained baby clothes and jade pendant, how could he not recognize that when he left home, his beloved wife was still embroidering the clothes for the unborn child? Infant, this jade pendant is a keepsake handed down from generation to generation by his Sang family.
Tao Zhongfang's young disciple is similar in appearance to his deceased wife, and his age... If his son is still alive, he should be this old.
Jiang Chao was not lightly hit. First, the unknown and ugly side of his respected and beloved master was revealed, and then the withdrawn and indifferent Sang Daxia, who was consecrated to the altar, actually said that he was his son.
The housekeeper trembled in fright, "I don't know, I don't know anything."
The housekeeper did not know much, and Tao Zhongfang, who was as cautious as Tao Zhongfang, did not dare to reveal too much to others. The boss announced that Jiang Chao was his apprentice, and asked him to marry the eldest lady. After that, he asked the housekeeper to put something in Jiang Chao's wine and watch him drink it.
In order to save his own life, the butler also took out a cyan porcelain bottle, saying that he didn't know what was inside.
Jiang Shaotang offered to let him take a look, and Sang Guiqiu agreed. The son of the Jiang family is naturally well-informed.
After he read it, his face was slightly solemn, "It's the Gu poison in southern border, you can use the questioning heart grass to detoxify it, but... the questioning heart grass has long been extinct in southern border."
Sang Guiqiu immediately caught Jiang Chao, and a trace of warmth appeared on his cold and snowy face all the year round, more anxious and flustered, "Young Master Jiang, please diagnose my son to see if he has a strange poison. "
"Hero Sang, I..." Jiang Chao still couldn't believe it, and felt that Sword God Sang might have made a mistake.
It's not that he doesn't want to be the son of Sang Jianshen, but it's too unacceptable to admit a thief as his father.
Jiang Shaotang stretched out his hand to take the pulse on Jiang Chao's left wrist. In addition to the exquisite martial arts in the martial arts, the Jiang family is also very shrewd in medical skills. Although Jiang Shaotang is not particularly good at it, he has learned a lot by ear.
He looked relieved and withdrew his hand. "Don't worry, Master Sang, Shaoxia Jiang is in good health, and there is no trace of being poisoned."
The butler of the villa also said that he hadn't had time to poison him yet.
In the secret room, everyone looked at it, not only the Haoran Sword, but also the martial arts cheats of other schools, some of which have been exterminated, and some are still standing in the rivers and lakes. The several sects that were invited here trembled with anger when they saw their own martial arts secret skills.
…
Xiao Han was riding a horse on the way out of Shuzhong, and the floating golden characters on the bracelet had changed to, "Good value: 1506 (equivalent to 753 life points) Evil value: 0"
This is the first time she has seen the bracelet give such a rich life value, two years of life.
Xiao Han also sighed, "It's a pity I didn't get to see a good show."
She kept the secret room well there, so I don't believe those people in the Jianghu would not be interested, and they would not want to open it when they saw the secret room.
9526 is still a little puzzled, "Then why didn't Tao Zhongfang poison Jiang Chao from the very beginning, and still raise him for so many years?"
Xiao Han chuckled, maybe Tao Zhongfang still had a little bit of kindness, or maybe he harbored greater malice from the beginning.
No matter what, Xiao Han slightly raised his eyebrows, "Jiang Chao and Sang Guiqiu should thank me."
Although he said so, Xiao Han did not promote his ideas at all, the bracelet provided her with enough life points.
Before the feast at Yumen Mountain Villa started, there was already an even bigger storm. Even after two days, the turmoil was still not calm. Although people died, they stayed and were exposed to the blue sky and white sun The many secrets in the book are even more shocking.
Meng Yu and Jiang Shaotang also sighed unceasingly, just happened to meet Jiang Chao in the village, "I haven't had time to congratulate Jiang Shaoxia, reunited with Sang Daxia and his son."
It is very emotional to say it, who would have thought that Jiang Chao was actually the youngest son of Sang Jianshen who died young in the rumors.
Jiang Chao and Sang Guiqiu still recognize each other, not only the swaddle and jade pendant as evidence, but also the birthmark on Jiang Chao's body. In the letter, it was mentioned that he was a son, and there were some characteristics on him.
In fact, even without these things, the resemblance between his features and appearance to his dead wife is enough to convince Sang Guiqiu that Jiang Chao is his child.
Facing the two people's congratulations, Jiang Chao's smile was a bit complicated, but he returned the gift in a friendly way, and said, "My father has let me recognize the surname Sang, and now I am not Jiang Chao, but Sang Hui .”
Hui, that is, the brilliance of the sun and the moon, this is the name that Sang Guiqiu decided to choose after Mrs. Sang became pregnant.
He was ready to give the best of everything in this world to the soon-to-be-born Lin'er, but because the villain killed his wife and mistakenly thought that the child was not alive, he felt ashamed and stayed away from the world for many years.
Jiang Chao, also known as Sang Hui, felt a strong paternal love in these two short days, which he had never felt before. He thought that what his master gave him was like a father's love, but now it seems that In fact, they are all illusions.
Even though he recognized it clearly, Sang Hui still felt extremely heavy when he thought that Tao Zhongfang was the one who killed his mother and was about to put an unsolvable poison in his wine.
Meng Yu looked at his expression, changed the subject intentionally, and asked, "What are the plans of Shaoxia Sang and your father?"
Sang Hui said earnestly, "I will go back with my father to pay respects to my mother. From now on... I will never go back to Yumen Villa again."
This is the place where he has lived for many years, but it is also the place where he killed his mother and enemies, so it is impossible to stay there anymore.
"Hui'er." It was Sang Guiqiu.
Sang Hui was not seen for a while, and because of his low martial arts skills, Sang Guiqiu was a little worried. Regarding this lost and found son, Sang Guiqiu seemed very cautious, and even wanted to make up for everything he owed for many years. .
He has explored Sang Hui's roots, and he was born to practice swords. He hates that villain Tao Zhongfang for letting him learn swords. After his son returned, he carefully taught him the sword technique.
As for the so-called vow not to accept disciples again, it is useless.
No one will say much, Sang Hui is not his apprentice, but his only son.
Meng Yu and Jiang Shaotang did not expect to see such a loving old father as Sang Jianshen. When Sang Guiqiu and his son left, Meng Yu still couldn't believe it, "Is this still that cold and withdrawn sword god?"
Jiang Shaotang smiled and said, "Humans are not grasses and trees, who can be ruthless, even the sword **** is also a human being, and there will be a day when the family is reunited, and he will show his true feelings."
Meng Yu also thought of the southern border poison, Tao Zhongfang's cruelty was really chilling, if the truth hadn't been revealed today.
Sang Guiqiu and his son may cause even greater tragedies because of him.
Meng Yu smiled and said, "So we didn't become accomplices, but did a great deed."
But he shook his head again, "But I don't want to go through this heart-pounding again."
"You have to keep it in mind. Don't make mistakes because of your appetite. This time it was a mistake and exposed the face of the villain. If you really help the tyrant next time." .
"I remember that you ate no less than me that night." Meng Yu laughed, and then his eyes became clear again, "But who is that girl, and why did she kill Tao Zhongfang?"
"Xu is another enemy that Tao Zhongfang has made. He has committed numerous crimes over the years. He can even kill his best friend and brother. I don't know how many innocent people he has killed." Jiang Shaotang said lightly.
Although Tao Zhongfang is dead, we can't ask more truths from him, but the righteous Haoran sword, and so many martial arts cheats, put so many things in the secret room, is it just to frame Tao Zhongfang? What's more, there is such a shining example as Jiang Chao.
Many of the guests in this Yumen Villa are those who suffered from his crimes, including God Sangjian and his son, Taoist Lingguang and so on.
It is precisely because of the good deeds he has done over the years that people do not have any doubts, and only sigh that people can't be judged by appearances.
While Meng Yu and Jiang Shaotang were guessing Xiao Han's identity, the chief arrester of the Six Sects stationed in Shuzhong also came looking for them, also for the purpose of killing Tao Zhongfang's people.
In fact, the chief arrester was also in a dilemma. At the beginning, everyone was outraged and arrested the murderer who killed Master Tao. Whoever wanted to discover the secret room revealed that Tao Zhongfang was a heinous hypocrite.
You say whether to investigate or not to investigate, if they are hunted down, those suffering masters who were killed by Tao Zhongfang may have to embarrass them. A well-known benefactor.
Just because Tao Zhongfang restrained his bones and committed hypocrisy back then, he was ordered to protect Yumen Villa for more than ten years.
Whoever kills Tao Zhongfang now is naturally his benefactor.
But on that day, the chief arrester made a bold statement that if he pursued the matter, others would not pursue it because of the kindness of the world. So I made up my mind that the investigation still needs to investigate who did it, and whether to arrest it is another matter.
When it comes to crimes, Tao Zhongfang would die a hundred times without regretting it.
The head catcher raised a smile on his face, cupped his hands and said, "I would like to ask you two to do me a favor."
He explained, "You two are the only ones who may have seen the swordsman."
Not even mentioning the murderer, but Tao Zhongfang was obviously a master of swordsmanship after being pierced by a sword.
Meng Yu and Jiang Shaotang couldn't refuse, so they agreed, and they were also very curious about the girl's identity. In addition to drawing the portrait of the person he saw, Jiang Shaotang said, "She did carry a sword with her, but we are not sure that she didn't kill Tao Zhongfang."
Meng Yu also interjected, "I have fought against her before, and her swordsmanship is extremely high, and her martial arts are superior to mine, but compared to Brother Jiang, I don't know."
The head catcher nodded, ready to pursue this clue. In fact, not only the six doors are investigating, but many forces are also searching. If he can kill Tao Zhongfang cleanly when the guests are at the banquet, he is at least a top-notch expert. .
Seeing that the person in the portrait is so young, the chief arrester is not sure. Of course, it is also possible that a younger generation with extremely high martial arts at a young age appeared in the rivers and lakes at some time.
…
Jeju City, already out of the middle of Shu, is bustling with people.
Xiao Han found a restaurant and ordered some food. After leaving Shuzhong, she was not in a hurry to hurry.
After a while, a guy in gray knocked on the door with several signature dishes of the restaurant, "Guest officer, here are the ducks in clear soup, beef with eight immortals, and chicken with glutinous rice with chestnuts."
After putting down the dishes, the waiter raised his head, his eyes were a little bright, a bamboo tube slipped out of his sleeve, and he offered it respectfully, "This is from Tianshuiju to Miss Xiao."
Now Xiao Han somewhat believes that Tianshuiju is the largest intelligence organization in Jianghu.
Xiao Han smiled again, "No money?"
The clerk showed his delicate canine teeth with a smile, "Tianshuiju heard about Miss Xiao's stay in Sichuan, so I specially sent this letter to welcome Miss Xiao to do business with Tianshuiju in the future."
Xiao Han raised his eyebrows slightly, this is to develop long-term customers.
But maybe it will be used again in the future, Xiao Han nodded, "Let's put it down."
The clerk put down the bamboo tube, returned to his normal appearance as a restaurant clerk, and left the box with the lacquer plate. Of course, this does not mean that he is really a restaurant clerk.
Xiao Han opened the bamboo tube, which contained information about Tianshuiju. It actually wrote about what happened in Yumen Villa after Xiao Han left, which made up for Xiao Han's regret of not being able to watch a good show.
Not only did Tianshuiju send a favor to Xiao Han, but also someone with power came to Tianshuiju to request to kill Tao Zhongfang's person. Tianshuiju did not refuse, and it was listed as prefecture-level intelligence, worth a thousand taels of gold. .
If Xiao Han knew about it, he might sigh, Tianshuiju is really shrewd in his business, he earned her one thousand taels, and sold her information for another one thousand taels of gold.
Xiao Han will not be angry, after all, apart from the transaction, she and Tianshuiju don't have much deep friendship. She was still thinking that one day she would run out of money, so she would find Tianshuiju's headquarters and rob it. So let's talk about each other.
Those forces are rich and powerful, and they can afford 10,000 taels of gold. In comparison, the six doors are not so proud, but the wind leaves its sound, and the geese leave their marks. Anyway, the six doors have branches all over the world, and it is the only institution of the imperial court that restricts the world. The other major powers are poor.
Soon each family got different information. His name was Xiao Han. He was a low-level assassin trained by a certain assassin organization a year ago, but later left for unknown reasons. What sect and sect is he, who has wiped out bandit villages several times, often dressed in black, and is tabooed by the green forest road as a black-clothed Shura.
In fact, Xiao Han is more famous than she imagined, at least now Lvlinyi is terrified of her.
But when Tianshuiju asked whether he was the one who killed Tao Zhongfang, he only gave a suspected 90% answer.
Tianshuiju is dubbed the largest intelligence organization in the rivers and lakes because it is rumored that its spies are everywhere, but they are only responsible for recording information and sending it back to Tianshuiju. Xiao Han bought Tao Zhongfang's information in Tianshuiju, but no one saw Xiao Han kill Tao Zhongfang.
Besides, what Xiao Han had dealt with before were bandits and thieves, those ordinary first-rate masters could do it, and Tianshuiju didn't know Xiao Han's true strength, so he only answered doubts.
Tian Shuiju is very trustworthy when it comes to information, and if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you won't give a definite answer.
But 90% suspect is enough to be believable.
Xiao Han didn't know that she had become famous in the Jianghu, so he was still driving slowly.
What happened at the apprentice banquet in Yumen Mountain Villa spread all over the world within a few days, and even Xiao Han could hear some of it when he occasionally rested in the tea house on the road,
When most people heard that Tao Zhongfang was killed, their first reaction was, "Sang Jianshen will definitely avenge Master Tao."
"You are wrong, it is too late for Sang Jianshen to thank her."
The speaker was eager to show off the hot news he had just received, admiring the other party's dumbfounded expression that changed several times when he knew the truth, "Master Tao is such a person."
I feel disgusted at the thought of calling myself Master Tao.
For a while, Tao Zhongfang and Yumen Villa were discredited in the world and hated by others.
Many of the guests that day have gone back. After finding their own secret books in the secret room, they all invited someone to sit for a notarization. leaked out.
Nothing more than two kinds, one is that Tao Zhongfang colluded with the scum in his sect, and the other is that innocent disciples were killed in Tao Zhongfang's hands, and the secret books were also taken away.
Taoist Lingguang also left early. He took the Haoran Sword with him, as if he wanted to investigate the righteousness of the year, and there may be other secrets behind him.
Sang Guiqiu was also planning to take Sang Hui back. Although he failed to kill his enemy and avenged his wife and son, Sang Guiqiu did not want their father and son to have any more involvement with Yumen Villa.
Tao Yingying, who had been in a coma for a day and a night due to overstimulation, woke up and was shocked to hear the truth. At first, she didn't want to believe that her loving father would be a heinous, hypocritical and cruel villain. In front of the secret room, he had to accept the fact.
And when she saw Jiang Chao, whom she admired, was about to leave, Tao Yingying couldn't help but chased after her, "Senior brother three."
"I'm not Jiang Chao anymore, I'm Sang Hui, so let's not see each other again." How could Sang Hui not know what his father was thinking, and his hatred for Tao Zhongfang would not spread to Yingying them, Just thinking about his unmasked mother and the blood-stained baby, Sang Hui resolutely cut off the friendship of these years.
Seeing this, Sang Guiqiu also breathed a sigh of relief. Even though Tao Yingying had nothing to do with Tao Zhongfang's crimes, if Sang Hui was with the enemy who killed his mother, even if they were friends, how would the world think of him.
With Tao Yingying's eyes blurred with tears, Sang Hui, father and son drove away, and in the end it was Gu Ying who silently supported her shoulders.
Although honest and upright people like Sang Guiqiu and Taoist Lingguang would not care about the disciples of Yumen Villa, the enmity of many factions and their reputation in the world have also plummeted, and Yumen Villa still fell. up.
Tao Zhongfang's funeral was held in a very sloppy manner. Compared with the grand and lively guests at the disciple acceptance banquet a few days ago, there was an endless stream of guests, competing to praise the owner of the villa. It was like a world of difference.
Most of the disciples in the villa have dispersed. The third disciple, Jiang Chao, has recognized his father, and has become a stranger to Yumen Villa.
Gu Ying was the only one who accompanied Tao Yingying to deal with the matter of the villa, and decided to close the villa for five years for atonement. This move was also to preserve the villa and Tao Yingying and avoid the limelight and criticism. As for the murderer, they were already exhausted physically and mentally, unable to deal with it in time, and had no intention of looking for another murderer. If they were found out to be the master's enemy and bitter master, wouldn't it be another embarrassment.
