Yang Qiusheng had subtly expressed his position with these two sentences and changed the question from "did he kill Lei Yan" to "did he have a motive to kill Lei Yan". Yan Li immediately felt that this person was cunning, and things started to get complicated. He came back with Feng Jiu this time because Feng Jiu trusted him and he was confident that he could convince most people. However, Yang Qiusheng's understatement made it so that no matter how much evidence he provided, as long as he couldn't prove his innocence, it would be sophistry. Since he had a motive to kill Lei Yan, the more evidence he provided, the more it would prove that he was scheming.
The Separation Cliff hadn't materialized yet. It was supposed to be his last trump card. He only needed to show it to everyone. His natal sword was broken, so how could he kill Lei Yan? But at this moment, it was meaningless. He knew that if he wanted to protect himself, he had to do something different. He asked Xu Longxiang, "Senior Brother Xu, you said that I killed Senior Brother Lei Yan. Why don't you describe how I killed him? For example, what moves I used, how did Senior Brother Lei deal with it, and what means did I use to make Senior Brother Lei lie on the ground and let me stab him to death? "
Xu Longxiang was a little panicked, but he didn't show it. After all, he had been in Jianghu for decades, and he had practiced these questions hundreds of times in his mind. At this moment, he answered fluently, "Humph, that day when I was washed to the bottom of the Ninth Heaven Hanging River, I tried my best to protect two Junior Brothers to swim ashore. Senior Brother Lei also used a lot of Zhenqi to protect the other Junior Brothers … When we came ashore, we were already at the end of our strength …" He pointed at Yan Li and shouted, "You shameless man, I was beaten unconscious by you, and you asked me what means I used!"
The information was vague, but it was also very clean.
Yan Li's heart couldn't help sinking. Xu Longxiang was not a fledgling young hero, and ordinary means couldn't trick him. He glanced at the chiefs of all branches and found that they were all sitting there as if it had nothing to do with them. Even Ye Qinglan, who was familiar with him, didn't seem to want to say a word for him. If it had been two days earlier and given him the opportunity to collect evidence, the situation might have been different. However, there were no ifs in this world, and he was not the kind of person who would only think about ifs when he was in a desperate situation.
"Eldest Senior Brother, Academy Master Yang, and all the First Seats, I would like to say something out of the topic. I hope you will allow me to do so." He cupped his fists towards the people who represented real power.
Xu Longxiang didn't know what Yan Li was planning, but adhering to the principle that he wouldn't let his enemy get what he wanted, he immediately jumped out and said, "What are you talking about? You shameless murderer, you can't refute me, so you try to change the focus? All the Seats of Honor are wise people. Don't show off your ugly face! Do you know how many times Senior Brother Lei spoke well of you when he was alive? Do you know that Senior Brother Lei didn't want to kill you at all? Do you know that Senior Brother Lei had discussed with me that he would release you secretly and let you find evidence to prove that you are not a spy of the demon race? Why do you still want to argue in this situation? Just admit your crime honestly and kowtow in front of Senior Brother Lei's mourning hall. Is it that hard? " The more he spoke, the more confident he became, and the more he questioned, the louder his voice became. The members of the Thunder Department in the square outside listened to him with red eyes, and they all cursed Yan Li. The words they used were as ugly as they could be, and they almost used all the dirty words they knew in their lives. A few impulsive ones even wanted to barge in and kill him, but they were stopped by the disciples of the Heaven Department.
Feng Jiu's face became darker and darker. The messy order and Yan Li's terrible performance all made his anger rise. "Yan Li, don't try to change the topic. If you can't prove your innocence, I can't protect you either!" He gave an ultimatum in a deep voice. "I'll give you two last chances.
You'd better take the chance to speak. Don't say anything irrelevant! "
Xu Longxiang sneered inwardly. His only eye was full of provocation as he looked at Yan Li contemptuously. You're too young to fight with me. If it weren't for Feng Jiu protecting you, your head would have rolled on the ground!
Yan Li's eyes were full of killing intent. He couldn't help but have the impulse to kill Xu Longxiang and then betray the Court Of Sword. He knew that if he did that, it would be the same as confirming the crime of killing Lei Yan. His Eldest Brother's situation would become extremely difficult, and Cangjian Peak would also be in big trouble because of his behavior. He warned himself not to be impulsive, not impulsive … He let out a long breath, closed his eyes, and loosened his clenched fists. "Eldest Brother, the prejudice and malice of people are like a mountain. Based on what I know, see, read, and experience, I can't form a language to climb it. I don't want to say more. "
Chang Maochun immediately said, "He admitted that he killed Lei Yan!"
"I didn't." Yan Li said.
"Then what do you mean?" Chang Maochun said harshly, "This is the sacred Law Enforcement Hall. You can say whatever you want. Who do you think you are?"
Yan Li saw the undisguised disappointment in Feng Jiu's eyes. Yang Qiusheng was still as unfathomable as ever. You might think that he was hostile towards you, but you couldn't feel a trace of malice from him. He didn't even have any killing intent. It was as if he really had the serious and responsible attitude that the position under his buttocks should have. Among the five Presidents, he only looked at Ye Qinglan, who was still very calm and didn't avoid his eyes. At this time, he suddenly thought of an article, in which a hypothesis was made: If Taibai Taoism was inherited, who would be the supreme master of sword? The article used analogy and made a very convincing analysis. The final conclusion was that Taibai Taoism should be the supreme master of sword. The person who made this article was killed in less than two days. No one knew who did it, except that it was a swordsman.
Combining the article and the current situation, he realized that from the moment that he was the successor of Taibai Taoism, few people present regarded him as a fellow disciple. He was the successor of another swordsmanship, a "stranger". If he really killed Lei Yan, he would certainly die; if not, they didn't need to help a "stranger" to kill their own disciple. Except for Feng Jiu, these people were like transparent dewdrops. Only through the refraction of the surrounding scenery could they show a trend of colorful trend. These colors were the clues of the nine Confucian orthodoxy, like a huge palette. No matter what color they turned into, they all rolled around in the palette, hugged and merged, or separated in frustration. But Yan Li was outside the canvas.
He had a conversation with Li Xiangjun before.
"Young Master, do you think the Court Of Sword will accept you again?"
"Why not? I have fully demonstrated my value at the Visiting Conference. "
"Young Master, people must have value to be used, but such a rule has a premise, that is, the same race and the same kind."
At that time, he laughed disapprovingly, thinking that Li Xiangjun was referring to the bloodline of the devil in his body. Now he knew that it was because of the "different ways". He could imagine Li Xiangjun's state of mind at that time. She was afraid that she would say something explicit and make him lose face, but she was also worried that she would give the wrong guidance. Her intuition was right. This sense of alienation because of the "different ways" had been there since he stepped into the hall. It was like swallowing ice in winter, making his body and mind cold. But this coldness could not infect him.
It was all infected. Yu Qiuyu, who had been his classmate for half a year, stood silently next to him, holding the Thirteen Styles tightly, ready to save him at any time. Eldest Brother trusted him under pressure. All the members of Cangjian Peak were imprisoned.
"I'll listen to Eldest Brother's decision." He made a decision.
Hearing Yan Li's words, there was an uproar in the hall. Yang Qiusheng said, "Yan Li, you have given up on arguing, and are ready to let Little Nine decide whether you are guilty or not?"
"Yes." Yan Li said, staring at Feng Jiu. "Eldest Brother, I didn't mean to make things difficult for you, but I really have no other choice. Little Sword Peak Lord died for me, and Elder Zijun and the others were imprisoned in the Sword Prison because of me, just like in Longling City. I can't just leave. Eldest Brother, no matter how you decide, I won't blame you. "
"Did you hear that? He confessed!" Xu Longxiang shouted to Feng Jiu excitedly, "Eldest Brother, quickly order his execution, and put his head in Senior Brother Lei's mourning hall to pay tribute to Senior Brother Lei's spirit in heaven!"
"Execute him! Execute him! Execute him! "
There was a collective will that sounded like a tsunami in the square outside. Faced with such coercion, Feng Jiu remained calm and silent. He was now the acting headmaster, and all the decisions he made represented the will of the headmaster. He could pardon Yan Li with one sentence, but correspondingly, it meant that Xu Longxiang was guilty. If Xu Longxiang was found guilty, the members of the Thunder Department might not be able to accept the result and riot, and he would have to bear all the responsibility.
Yang Qiusheng suddenly said, "Little Nine, no matter what decision you make, I will support you. Although this child, Yan Li, is suspicious, this kind of responsibility is what most of the disciples in the sect lack. "
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed. Chang Maochun and his disciple, as well as the other elders with real power, looked at Yang Qiusheng in disbelief, completely unable to understand the meaning of his words.
Not only them, but also Feng Jiu and the five First Seats were a little surprised.
Xu Longxiang felt a little uneasy, and his eyes showed a sinister look. He said to Feng Jiu meaningfully, "Eldest Brother, if you still want to side with the irrefutable evidence, then I will question your qualification as the acting headmaster …"
"Shut up, idiot!" Chang Maochun turned pale with fright. If he "threatened" Feng Jiu at this time, with Feng Jiu's temperament, wouldn't he be pushing him to Yan Li's side?
Sure enough, Feng Jiu stood up with a livid face and said, "The matter is not completely clear yet, and it is too early to make a judgment! Guards, put them both in the Sword Dungeon! "
Chang Maochun's face turned cold. He knew the truth, and if he did not settle the matter as soon as possible, it was very likely that there would be new problems. The unforeseen change made him extremely uneasy, and this uneasiness was connected to his disciple, Xu Longxiang.
"Eldest Brother, there is one thing about you that I didn't want to say …"
At this time, the master and the disciple made up their minds to reveal Feng Jiu's secret and put up a life-and-death struggle. Xu Longxiang showed a sinister look, and was about to continue speaking. It was also at this time that Chang Maochun suddenly glanced at Yang Qiusheng, which immediately made him change his mind, and sternly interrupted, "Didn't you hear the order of the acting headmaster? Go and execute it!"
Xu Longxiang looked back in surprise, and Chang Maochun vaguely shook his head at him, and then looked at Yang Qiusheng from a distance. Suddenly, the two revealed a tacit smile.
