Zhao Changhe, who broke through the fourth level of the entrance earlier than he expected, was in a good mood while eating. He didn't bother to care whether Cui Wenjing was showing off. Maybe he was really a child prodigy when he was ninth on the list, and he was at the seventh or eighth level in five months. It’s over.
Whatever.
I used to feel that using that kind of broad sword was too heavy and that 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 big broad knife that was four to 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, and it doesn't look good. , let’s do this first.
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.
They were all thinking about each other, and even the eyes looking at each other exuded 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... Last year, before leaving home, his family had just prepared to discuss marriage with the Wang family. It was extremely troublesome to go back and forth to accept the proposal. The negotiation has not been settled yet, and the sister, who has not even grown hair yet, is looking for a man first...
"Second brother!" Cui Yuanyang noticed his arrival and waved happily to say hello.
"Eh? Brother Cui is here?" Zhao Changhe wiped his mouth and asked curiously: "Where have you been before? It's such a big event that I haven't seen you from the beginning to the end."
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, the look in her eyes would change sooner or later. Look at it. This time it has changed completely, it is 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 temptation 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 include the time she ran away to your village before, I let her run away twice in a row...what a fool...she can run away like this, Did I do this on purpose?" Cui Yuanyong drank a glass of wine by himself and sighed: "Even if I am not a mole, some people will make a fuss about this, saying 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 really had nothing to do with her second brother. If she ran to the cottage in the middle of the night, her brother could still monitor her sleeping? Then there is a problem, okay? Later, it was none of his brother's business to run away. It was his servants who escorted him back, but he made excuses for him to run away halfway. 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. It is meaningless for him to do such a thing for the person who has firmly succeeded him, and the reputation is still ugly.
Cui Yuanyong sighed, and then said: "As for the past few days, of course I went back to find you, and also found the city where you guys stayed... Who knew that you would travel through the mountains and ridges all the way, and I would actually meet you. Not really... To be nice, if you sneak back into the city and hide there, waiting for me to find you, maybe there won't be so many things..."
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 at that time? 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: "Wait a minute There are only three trials, and I have to go to trial, 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 has to provide some circumstantial evidence. But his situation is special. If Dad doesn't say anything, others can't really treat him like a prisoner and interrogate him. If you are willing to participate, That’s the best.”
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 didn't want to know who it was. It would be uncomfortable for everyone, but she knew that this matter would eventually end.
…………
That night, the Cui family ancestral temple.
Zhao Changhe and Cui Yuanyang stood behind Cui Wenjing, 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 boy, who seemed to have not suffered much, had been in jail for two days. Half of his 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 his sister within the family. It was an extremely serious problem that no family could tolerate.
Several 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 and 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 is not pretending to be cool with me, so you guys are just pretending.
A clan elder spoke slowly: "Everyone must be very clear about the matter. Let me emphasize again the reason why we have targeted Yuan Cheng. There are only a few ways to reward the underworld, and the Qinghe area has been completely wiped out by us. , it was definitely spread through the Salt Gang's sales hall here. We caught the other hall leader and confessed that it was Yuan Cheng who released it, and 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 kind of 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 the little sister ran away. It was impossible to arrange it in time, unless it was arranged in advance. But she ran away It was also an impulsive move. Even if she didn’t necessarily know that she would run away, I had already arranged the reward for her. How could she do such a thing? Do the uncles really think that Yuan Yong is a fool? "
There were also many people 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 unlikely that Cui Yuanyong has arranged such a thing in advance. So by now, isn't the clue broken?
The Cui family was in vain to dominate the local area, but their legitimate daughter was assassinated, and the real culprit could not be found!
Countless eyes fell on the face of Cui Wenjing, 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?
