The two Murong family warriors, Ah Zhu, Ah Bi and Wang Yuyan were so anxious that their faces turned red. Even though the Murong family was wealthy, they could not afford to offend the imperial court! Even though they secretly wanted to restore their country, on the surface, they kept a respectful distance from the imperial court and did not dare to offend them.
Otherwise, under the siege of the army, they would not be able to restore their country. They would become stray dogs and face the danger of having their families destroyed.
Bao Butong would never have thought that he would provoke such a muddle-headed official like Chen Ang, who would distort the truth. It seemed that Chen Ang was openly framing him, with the intention of exterminating his entire family.
Master Zhiguang put his palms together and said righteously, "Benefactor, you are exaggerating. Even though Benefactor Bao's palm power is strong, it cannot be compared to the Beggar Clan's Dragon Subduing Divine Palm. Please reconsider."
"Then Master, do you mean that it was the Beggar Clan who did it?" Chen Ang asked with a smile.
Master Zhiguang hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean it that way. The people of the Beggar Clan understand the righteousness of their country and are patriotic heroes. They have sacrificed their lives for the Great Song, shed their blood, and fought for meritorious services. They would never do such a thing."
"That's right. The Beggar Clan would never do such a thing. Someone has to take responsibility. I think this Xianbei bastard has a rebellious streak in his brain. He is not a good person. Since he served the Empress of Later Yan as his master, he must have a plan to restore his country. Killing him is not a bad thing."
Chen Ang said righteously, "This way, I can answer to the imperial court and the Beggar Clan's loyalty will be preserved. Isn't that great?"
Most of the Beggar Clan people did not have a good impression of Xianbei Hu Zhong, plus they hated Murong Fu for causing Qiao Feng to resign from the Bangzhu position. Among them, more than half suspected that Murong Fu had killed Ma Dayuan. Seeing the Murong family was helping them to block the calamity, half of them showed a happy expression. Only the two elders who were loyal to Qiao Feng, Chuan Gong and Law Enforcer, were not willing.
Chuan Gong Elder said, "This matter is not only related to the imperial court but also the Beggar Clan. The Beggar Clan is willing to catch the culprit and seek justice for Official Cai. At the same time, we want to find out who secretly learned the Dragon Subduing Divine Palm." He saw that some of the beggars showed disapproval and shouted.
"The Beggar Clan is one and two. How can we let others help us? When Chief Qiao was alive, he suffered a lot and went through many trials. Have you ever seen him frown? The Beggar Clan will not deceive the world! Today, that person framed us, we have Murong family to block the disaster. Tomorrow, he will use the same trick again, who will come? "
His words were filled with awe-inspiring righteousness, they were very reasonable. When the crowd of beggars heard this, even if they were dissatisfied with Murong family, they forced themselves to suppress it. Only Xu Zhanglao, Quan Guanqing and the others were submissive.
Elder Xu tried his best to smooth things over. Quan Guanqing bluntly said, "What Official said is right. The Murong family's' Big Dipper Shift of the Stars' is incomparably marvelous. They were able to kill Wulin people with their unique skill. Obviously they are proficient in hundreds of martial arts. If someone used this skill to commit a crime, they are the most likely suspects."
Chen Ang waved his hand and said with a smile, "I am just giving you a suggestion. The Murong family has long violated the imperial court's law, they are treason and heresy. This time I am here partly because of the Murong family's attempt to restore their country. Their property is about to be confiscated and exterminated, I thought one more crime wouldn't matter. But since you are not willing, I am happy to be free."
The Beggar Clan had never seen such an 'honest' official who could speak so confidently and confidently about framing others. For a moment, they were speechless. Many of them thought that the way Chen Ang handled things was really interesting.
On the other side, Wang Yuyan and the others' faces turned pale. "You are talking nonsense," she said in fear, "Cousin would not do such a thing."
Chen Ang laughed coldly, "Don't you know whether he would do such a thing or not?"
Wang Yuyan recalled her cousin's' great cause 'and his various ambitions. For a moment, she was speechless.
Everyone at the scene was experienced in Jianghu, they were very smart. Seeing the expression on her face, they believed her a little. Master Zhi Guang put his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha. In an instant, the few people from the Murong clan were vaguely excluded.
Only the silly Duan Yu was still anxiously surrounding Wang Yuyan.
Bao Butong said anxiously, "You dog official, your mouth stinks! Your mouth is full of nonsense. With your ability to distort the truth, how can I not say anything? You don't have a single bit of evidence. You're just speaking empty words, there's no proof on paper. You can say whatever you want, but my Murong family will never dare to admit it. "
"Haha!" Chen Ang laughed out loud. "Does the imperial court still need evidence to handle matters?"
"Naive!"
Chen Ang said in a heavy tone.
When the crowd heard this, they didn't know what to say. They didn't have any standpoint nor did they need to speak up for the Murong family. However, Chen Ang's attitude of 'I am the law is the law' made them frown.
Only Duan Yu was left. Seeing that Wang Yuyan was on the verge of tears, he stepped forward with a pained expression on his face and said, "Brother, you're wrong. You need evidence, and you can't do things without evidence."
Everyone looked at his pretty boy face and laughed secretly. They were ready to see him make a fool of himself. But Chen Ang suddenly changed his expression and said gently, "Since it is the Crown Prince's request, of course we need evidence."
Everyone was shocked. They did not understand why Chen Ang's attitude changed so much. Just now, he was acting like a high-ranking official. Why did he suddenly become so friendly to that kid?
Duan Yu was also surprised, "You know my identity?"
"Dali and the Song Dynasty are friendly neighbors. Little brother, you are the Crown Prince of Dali. You are an honored guest of our country! We need evidence. We can't let our country be surprised. "Chen Ang said gently.
Everyone was depressed. Some of the Beggar Sect disciples were angry. They were cursing in their hearts, "Our country is surprised! You are so servile. You are really the imperial court! You are not afraid of the public's anger. You are just saying that our country is surprised and you want evidence? "
Chen Ang tilted his head and saw Huang Chang's look of approval. He could not help but feel funny. But he still had to pretend to be a dog of the imperial court. He gestured to Huang Chang, and Huang Chang shook out a pile of random things from behind him.
Bao Butong saw it and his face finally broke. He looked at the small flag and symbol on the ground in fear.
"Yunzhou's Qin Village, Eighteen Villages of Taihang, Wan Village. Take a look. What is missing?" Chen Ang said with a smile, "Are you surprised that the Yan flag was exposed? Your Murong family recruited people from the underworld and issued the 'Black Yan Flag'. Those who received it will follow the Murong family's orders. "
Chen Ang snorted coldly. "I have witnesses and material evidence here. I won't allow you to quibble."
Everyone looked at the ground. Indeed, there were weapons and flags with the Yan symbol on them. They were all made of black satin. They were beautiful and glowed. Some people with sharp eyes recognized them. They were the special satin of the Murong family's Suzhou workshop. It was difficult for outsiders to imitate them.
Bao Butong's head was dripping with cold sweat. He forced himself to say, "No, no! Our Murong family is a business. You can buy this cloth, he can also buy it. How can we use it as evidence? "
Everyone had already believed eighty to eighty percent of his words, so how could they allow him to quibble? Elder Wu was the most unyielding, he was grateful for Qiao Feng's great kindness and respected his character. He was extremely angry at the Murong family for causing Qiao Feng to leave, so he sternly shouted, "Xianbei Hu, the evidence is conclusive, how can you quibble!"
Chen Ang said with a smile, "I have evidence here!"
Everyone was shocked. "What evidence?"
Chen Ang coldly uttered four words, "Return the Water Pavilion!"
These words were like thunder that hit the Murong family members. Wang Yuyan's face turned pale.
Chen Ang asked Master Zhiguang coldly, "You once said that the Liao people wanted to steal the Shaolin Temple's Sutra Depository. This is a matter that threatens the foundation of the Song Dynasty. If someone stole all the secret manuals of the martial arts world, wouldn't that mean they were up to no good?"
Master Zhiguang chanted, "Sin, it's all sin!"
"What a sin. We'll talk about your matter later! The Murong family's Water Pavilion has all the martial arts secret manuals of all the sects in the world. How did they get them? What are they up to? Isn't this a piece of evidence? "
When the people present heard that their own martial arts had been leaked, how could they not be filled with righteous indignation? They shouted in unison, "Of course! Stealing other people's martial arts is the most despicable thing. He really is a person with evil intentions."
Bao Butong saw the Beggar Clan and martial arts people shouting in unison. He knew that the situation was hopeless. He carefully protected Wang Yuyan, Ah Zhu and Ah Bi and retreated. Feng Polio also stood in front of them to protect them. Unexpectedly, the angry Beggar Clan disciples surrounded them. Even though Duan Yu was anxious, he could not do anything.
"I have a third piece of evidence here!" Chen Ang said loudly. When he saw everyone looking at him, he smiled and looked back at Master Zhiguang, "This is a conspiracy that has been going on for decades. You found out about the Murong family's dirty deeds ten years ago, right? Master? Outside Yanmen Pass, who is the accomplice? Under the vengeful spirits, have you been sleeping well these few years? "
Master Zhiguang's face was pale. He lowered his eyes and said, "I have not slept for decades. Every time I close my eyes, I think of that sin! I only wish to use my broken body to resolve this evil fate. "
