He jumped towards the leader, and then cut a hole in the man's clothes with a quick knife. At the same time, something seemed to fall out of his clothes. The man in black was shocked. He fired hidden weapons with the rest of his accomplices and took advantage of everyone in Tianji Pavilion to dodge. incident and fled the scene in a hurry.
At this time, a group of martial arts people had already rushed to Lou Yongyue's side. One of the Xiyun Sect disciples cursed loudly: "What a good thief, how dare you come to steal books at night, I'm afraid you won't destroy Tianji Pavilion and all the heroes in the world." Take it seriously!"
Lou Yongyue said: "Exactly! Fortunately, the thieves have been defeated by us, and the martial arts left by the heroes have not been lost. I just don't know who is coming?"
At this time, a Tianji Pavilion master next to him picked up what the man in black had just dropped. It was a white jade pendant with the word "Sima" engraved on it. Lou Yongyue frowned and said slowly: "This is Sima. It is used by aristocratic families to identify themselves, and is a personal token that every guest has."
The next day, all the heroes gathered at Jingxin Village again. As soon as everyone entered the venue, they noticed that something was not right in the atmosphere. They saw Ji Cangran leading a group of people and waiting in the venue.
Among them were people from the Tianji Pavilion such as Lou Yongyue, as well as figures from other factions. They were the martial arts people who witnessed the night thief last night. Ming Xiang and Xuan Qing had also arrived at the venue.
At this time, Shangguan Feichen was not present. When Wei Jing and Cheng Zixian saw the battle, they knew something was wrong. They held their breath and followed the crowd into the venue. Cheng Zixian also asked the two diners to pay attention to their surroundings and not to be careless.
After most of the martial arts heroes came in, Ji Cangran said loudly: "Before compiling the book today, there is something important that must be clarified first. Although it happened suddenly, it is crucial and must be investigated. I hope that all heroes and heroes will do it. Please bear with me.”
After saying this, he bowed in all directions and paid tribute to all parties.
When everyone heard Ji Cangran mention the word "check", they knew that the matter was not trivial. Some people were in a state of confusion and were very nervous, but others couldn't wait to see what excitement there was.
When the group of heroes gradually calmed down, Ji Cangran said: "Master Wei Er and Master Cheng San, I have something to ask, could you please inform me?"
After saying that, he bowed his hands to the two of them and his words were very polite.
Everyone was surprised to see that Ji Cangran was asking about the two leaders of Sima, and they all moved aside to avoid it. Mo Cheng and Mo Cheng seemed to be standing in the center of the crowd, helpless. Yanjiang City, Shangguan Feiyun, Xiao Yao and other experts saw that things had changed, and they all had their own plans in mind.
The two of them each raised their hands and returned the gift. Wei Jing was the first to speak: "Master Ji, if you have something important to discuss, please just ask. You're welcome."
Ji Cangran nodded and said: "Well, let me tell you straight away, yesterday night, seven black-clothed men with extraordinary martial arts came to steal books. Under the brave resistance of the deputy pavilion master and a group of martial arts heroes, everyone found out It is only through the martial arts that I left that I could develop a comprehensive understanding of martial arts. Do the two masters know about this?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was shocked. The heroes were all talking in confusion, and all kinds of doubts and speculations were heard. Ji Cangran said loudly: "Please be patient, Tianji Pavilion will definitely investigate this case thoroughly." Check and give everyone an explanation."
Everyone calmed down a little, but the whispers and conversations could still be heard.
Mo Cheng and Mo Cheng looked at each other and knew that nothing could be done better today. Wei Jing shook his head and said, "We only found out about what happened last night at this moment. Does Pavilion Master Ji have any clues?"
Ji Cangran said: "When the deputy pavilion master of the building fought with the leader in black last night, he cut his clothes with a sharp blade and dropped this thing from the man's clothes. Did the two masters know it?"
After speaking, Lou Yongyue took out the jade pendant and handed it to Mo Cheng and the others to look at.
The two of them knew in their heart that it must be the jade pendant used by the Sima family's diners without looking at it. Although they knew it was a fake after a closer look, it was very similar, making it difficult for outsiders to tell the difference. Most people who have had some experience in traveling in the world in recent years have probably heard of the Sima family's diners. They all have jade pendants as tokens, and their status is distinguished by color. Generally, diners wear cyan, those who live in the Sima family wear white, the seven heads of the family wear yellow, and the clan leader wears red. The jade pendant used by Wei Jing to communicate with Hong Fuquan at that time was his own. topaz.
When everyone saw the jade pendant, they were in an uproar again. They didn't expect that the Sima family was so famous that they could do this secretly.
Wei Jing said: "This jade pendant is indeed very similar to the one used by the Sima family, but it is slightly different. It is a fake. Only the Sima family can tell the difference."
Wei Jing did not want to explain the difference because it was a secret. If outsiders knew about it, someone could create the real thing and do evil.
Ji Cangran muttered: "This is difficult to handle. The Sima family's reputation is at stake. We must find a way to find out the facts of the case."
Listening to his words, it seems that he hopes to clear the grievances of the Sima family.
Cheng Zixian, who had been silent at this time, said with a smile: "The pure will become clear, and the turbid will become turbid. If Master Ji has something to ask, you might as well say it directly."
Ji Cangran nodded, and was about to ask where the two of them were last night, when a leader who seemed to be the Xiyun Sect shouted: "Pavilion Master Ji, can you take a look for our sect to see if this is the same jade pendant? "
After saying that, he actually took out the same kind of white jade in his hand. The man handed the jade pendant to Jicang and then walked back to the crowd. Ji Cangran looked at it for a while, then handed the jade pendant to Cheng Zixian and said, "This jade pendant is indeed the same type as the one dropped by the man in black last night. Where did Deputy Head Lu get it?"
The man whom Ji Cangran called "Deputy Master Lu" said: "That's it! A few months ago, our sect was attacked by unknown persons with the intention of stealing our martial arts. Fortunately, it did not lead to a major disaster. At that time, So I left this jade pendant, but after a long investigation, our party still has no clue, so it turns out that this is what the diners of the Sima family use!"
Cheng Zixian was waiting for a reply when another person among the group of heroes cursed: "The Sima family has a reputation of being chivalrous, how could we know that they have such ulterior motives!"
Wei Jing and Cheng Zixian had nothing to say, but Ji Cangran said calmly: "This matter has not yet been concluded. This young hero should not make any rash judgments."
The man walked out of the crowd, cupped his hands to Ji Cangran and said: "Master Ji, this is Liu Zhonglin, the great disciple of the Lingyang Sect of Jiuhua Mountain. A month ago, there was some disagreement within our sect. This is a family scandal. I forgive you for not saying more, but in the dispute During this period, we noticed that outsiders were involved with the intention of dividing people's hearts. Soon after, our house was attacked by others. After fighting hard against the enemy, we also found this jade pendant at the scene."
After that, he took out the same white jade.
Liu Zhonglin gritted his teeth and said: "Although our sect is not a famous sect, we cannot allow outsiders to manipulate us as we please!"
I saw that he was filled with righteous indignation and did not seem to be hypocritical.
At this time, several people among the group of heroes intervened, and some said: "Our gang was attacked for no reason, could it be the work of the Sima family?"
Another person said: "Our martial arts school has been stolen recently, and the real culprit has not been found for a long time. I didn't expect it to be like this!"
Someone else said: "The Sima family is so cruel, call your sect master to come out and give an explanation!"
When everyone saw the leaders of Xiyun Sect and Lingyang Sect speaking out, they all thought that it was not just their family that was in trouble, so they all came forward to identify the problem.
Most of them have no evidence. They are just changes in the sect. After seeing what happened today, they shared the same hatred with other powerful people and regarded the Sima family as the mastermind behind the scenes. Xiao Yao was very anxious when he saw this, but he was at a loss for a while, not knowing what to do. In order to calm the public anger.
At this time, the crowd was furious, and Mo Cheng and Mo Cheng could not explain each sect at the same time, so they had to let everyone yell and scold them. Cheng Zixian observed silently in his heart at the same time. He found that the people who spoke out to identify them were all local small people in the area near Nanjing. It is a small sect, and there is no particularly eye-catching famous family.
When the scolding gradually subsided, there were two more jade pendants in the field, and there were nine more sects that regarded the Sima family as enemies. Those who have not yet spoken do not know how many more there are?
After a period of confusion, Ji Cangran saw that everyone's anger had subsided a little, so he said, "How should this matter be handled? Do the two masters have anything to say?"
At this time, one of the heroes said: "Master Wei Er, why don't you explain to everyone the difference between the real and fake white jade to prove the innocence of the Sima family."
The man still didn't seem to believe that the Sima family would commit such a murder, and was thinking about the options for Mo Cheng and the others.
At this time, another person from the Xiyun Sect yelled angrily: "These two little thieves must have a guilty conscience, otherwise why did they not say anything for so long? These traitors will be punished!"
Without waiting for Mo Cheng and the other two to reply, the man ran straight into the field and slashed at the two of them with one knife. Then, Xiyun sent a dozen people to follow closely, with the intention of rectifying the two of them on the spot.
Ji Cangran just shouted: "There are still doubts about this matter, please don't be impulsive!"
However, they did not stop him. Ming Xiang and Xuan Qing exchanged glances and decided to stay put for the time being and wait to see how Wei Jing and the others would respond.
When the rest of the crowd saw the Xiyun faction swarming forward, several people rushed out and attacked Mo Cheng and the two. However, most of the martial arts people were hesitant. Since the matter was not yet clear, would it be too much to take people's lives like this? Secondly, if the Sima family has another conspiracy and kills the two of them now, wouldn't it mean that nothing can be asked?
