"Wait, Mister Qiao. My son knows the real culprit. Listen to him first, listen to him!" Zuo Xuancheng finished his arrangements before Mister Qiao lost his temper.
"Clang!"
Mister Qiao's sword, which had been sheathed after chasing after Liu Yaoguang, leaped out of its scabbard again! This time, it wasn't as flashy as last time. It didn't spit out a thirty to forty meter long sword intent. Instead, it leaped into Mister Qiao's hand. The tip of the sword spat out a foot long sword intent. The gleaming cold light made everyone's eyes tremble!
He was going to kill someone!
Although the thirty to forty meter long sword aura looked terrifying and powerful, it was not flexible and was not very useful in killing people!
"You know the real culprit?" Mister Qiao pointed his sword at Zuo Xuancheng. "Do you want to commit suicide to atone for your sins, or do you want me to kill you?" As he spoke, Mister Qiao leaned forward slightly, and a boundless aura pressed down on Zuo Xuancheng.
Zuo Xuancheng shuddered and didn't dare to move. "Mister Qiao, my son isn't stupid. If he wanted to poison someone, why wouldn't he drink it himself? Why would he bring wine himself?" Zuo Xuancheng said.
Mister Qiao's heart skipped a beat. "Then tell me, who is the real culprit?" He had to do this beautifully. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to answer to the people behind Bi Pengzhuo!
"It's the Ling family. It's Ling Dong! A few days ago, Young Master Bi had a conflict with Ling Dong and hurt Ling Dong's reputation. In order to take revenge, Ling Dong arranged this scheme!
"Also, Ling Dong is extremely lecherous, but he wants that fairy-like Liu Yaoguang. However, he doesn't have the money, so he can only shamelessly borrow money from Young Master Bi. He even asked my son, Zuo Guangzong, to be the middleman!
"My son, Zuo Guangzong, saw it with his own eyes. Otherwise, how could Ling Dong bid a million taels of silver in the bidding for Courtesan Belle? Think about it, would the Ling family give Ling Dong a million taels of silver to buy a prostitute? A million taels of silver! My Zuo family's annual income is only a million taels!
If his family did not give him any money, then where would Ling Dong get a million taels of silver from? He could only borrow from others! And in Nanshan County, who would be able to lend Ling Dong a million taels of silver? As for my son, he didn't drink that glass of wine because he saw with his own eyes that Ling Dong drugged it when no one was paying attention. Ling Dong wanted to silence him, so he didn't dare to drink it, and he couldn't drink it! "
Zuo Xuancheng said it all in one breath. When he was done, he heaved a sigh of relief! In any case, Bi Pengzhuo was already dead, so it didn't matter what he said. As long as the father and son insisted, what could they do?
Moreover, a bite from a thief would penetrate deeply into the bone! When the yellow mud fell onto the crotch, even if it wasn't poop, it was still poop.
In the end, Zuo Xuancheng pointed at his son, Zuo Guangzong, and said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask my son. He saw these things with his own eyes, but he was shocked by the death of Young Master Bi and Nephew Wanying of the Feng family!"
Mister Qiao couldn't help but frown. Zuo Xuancheng's words seemed to make some sense. His Martial Nephew was indeed very rich, a million taels of silver was nothing to him.
"Well, the father and son colluded together. If I were Zuo Guangzong, as long as your son isn't stupid, he would definitely insist that it was me!" Ling Dong sneered. This Zuo Xuancheng was really good at making things up!
Ling Dong sneered, but Zuo Xuancheng's counterattack was even faster, "I say, Ling Dong, you know best whether or not you harmed anyone. Do you dare to say that you don't have any resentment towards Young Master Bi? Don't think that you can get money and vent your anger just because you poisoned Young Master Bi. But the heavens are clear, and my son wasn't killed by you … "
"Zuo Xuancheng, don't accuse me without any evidence!" Ling Yuanshan couldn't stand it anymore and was angry. Today, he realized for the first time that Zuo Xuancheng was so shameless, and so good at distorting the truth!
"I have no evidence, then you can ask my son. My son saw it with his own eyes, he's a witness!" Zuo Xuancheng sneered.
Ling Yuanshan was furious. You and your son are in the same boat, and now you're colluding with each other. Ask your son? What's the use of asking your son?
What surprised Zuo Xuancheng, Mister Qiao and Ling Yuanshan was that Ling Dong actually agreed with Zuo Xuancheng's words, "Alright, Zuo Xuancheng, as long as your son can say something to accuse me, I'll admit to this crime!"
Before Zuo Xuancheng could rejoice, Ling Yuanshan panicked, "Dong-er, are you possessed? The father and son have already colluded, there's no point in asking! "
Zuo Xuancheng was amused, "Mister Qiao, listen, he said so himself. Just ask, my son will definitely tell you everything in detail!" As he spoke, Zuo Xuancheng gave his son, Zuo Guangzong, a look, and at the same time, used a sound transmission technique to transmit a message.
"Zong 'er, all the things I taught you just now, you can tell me everything now!" Whether it was sound transmission or secret sound transmission, they weren't very advanced techniques, and the Zuo family just happened to know a little about them.
Just when everyone was surprised that Liu Yaoguang had broken out of the whirlpool, Zuo Xuancheng took the opportunity to preach to his son. The lie he made was so convincing that even he believed it.
Hearing his father's words, Zuo Guangzong nodded subtly, and Zuo Xuancheng praised his son for being smart.
"Zuo Guangzong, let me ask you, did you see Bi Pengzhuo borrow money from Ling Dong?" Mister Qiao asked coldly.
Just when Zuo Guangzong was about to answer, Ling Dong suddenly took a few steps forward and shouted, "Zuo Guangzong, touch your conscience, you'll be struck by lightning if you lie!"
Zuo Xuancheng was angry, "Ling Dong, what do you mean? Shut up, is this your place to interrupt?"
Ling Dong glanced at Zuo Xuancheng with disdain, "You're allowed to collude, but I'm not allowed to awaken Zuo Guangzong's conscience?"
"All of you shut up, I'll ask!" Mister Qiao shouted coldly, but he didn't stop Ling Dong, who had taken a few steps forward.
"Zuo Guangzong, tell me, did you see Bi Pengzhuo borrow money from Ling Dong?" Mister Qiao asked.
At this time, Zuo Xuancheng was still relatively confident. His son was Zuo Liuzhi, and he was very shrewd at the gambling table. Usually, people who were shrewd at the gambling table would be shrewd in life. Moreover, he had taught his son a few things today.
Everyone else, including Feng Qingzhang and Ling Yuanshan, looked at Zuo Guangzong nervously. Especially Ling Yuanshan. Although he felt that Zuo Guangzong wouldn't say no, he still had some hope!
Zuo Guangzong nodded first!
This scene made Ling Yuanshan's heart sink, but Zuo Xuancheng was delighted! He even began to calculate that if he could prove this crime to the Ling family, then the Zuo family would have a high chance of dominating Nanshan County.
That's right, this crime must be proven. If it was proven, with Bi Pengzhuo's background, the Ling family would be wiped out!
Just as he thought of this, Zuo Xuancheng's eyes glazed over, because he saw his son, Zuo Guangzong, frantically shaking his head again.
"Is it true or not? Don't you have a tongue? "Mister Qiao was angry!
This time, Zuo Guangzong didn't disappoint Mister Qiao. He opened his mouth and said, "No!"
No one noticed that when Zuo Guangzong spoke, Ling Dong took a small step closer, his expression extremely cold.
The moment Zuo Guangzong spoke, Ling Dong's forehead, which was deliberately facing the sun, flashed with a golden light. Ling Dong felt that his not very strong but extremely condensed divine will was rapidly being consumed!
It was only when Zuo Guangzong spoke slowly that Ling Dong's tightly clenched teeth relaxed. No matter how strong a spell was, it couldn't escape the Heavenly Dao. It was extremely difficult to make Zuo Guangzong betray his father, Zuo Xuancheng, and go against his most respected father in his subconscious mind, even with the control of the Child-Mother Chain Talisman.
In order to achieve this, Ling Dong's divine will had to be stronger than Zuo Guangzong's, and he had to suppress him at a close distance before he could betray his father! If Ling Dong directly asked Zuo Guangzong to commit patricide, which went against the Heavenly Dao, even if Ling Dong's cultivation and divine will were at the peak of his previous life, it was absolutely impossible!
"Wow!"
Everyone who heard this word, whether it was the Zuo family, the Ling family, or the Feng family, was stunned and then began to discuss loudly. Zuo Xuancheng was so angry that his eyes turned red, and Ling Yuanshan was stunned!
"Bastard, you little bastard, say that again!" In a fit of anger, Zuo Xuancheng was so angry that he cursed loudly. The crime of poisoning Bi Pengzhuo to death could not be confirmed. If it was confirmed, Zuo Xuancheng didn't even dare to think about the consequences!
Whoosh!
The moment the sound of something breaking through the air rang out, an exquisite sword was already suspended above Zuo Xuancheng's head. The sharp sword aura even cut a line of blood from Zuo Xuancheng's head to his chin. It was as if someone had cut his head with a sword, and in an instant, his face was covered in blood!
"Interrupt again, and I'll cut you with my sword!" Mister Qiao said word by word.
A thin layer of cold sweat immediately appeared on Zuo Xuancheng's forehead. He had accidentally let Mister Qiao's sword hang above his head. This was too passive.
At that moment, he didn't dare to do it again. He could only stare at Zuo Guangzong with murderous eyes, hoping that this idiot wouldn't say anything stupid again. Zuo Xuancheng was even a little puzzled. "How did he have such a son?"
"Then did you see Ling Dong poison the wine with your own eyes?" Mister Qiao asked.
To Zuo Xuancheng's disappointment, his idiot son Zuo Guangzong shook his head again. "No!"
At this time, Zuo Xuancheng was not only disappointed, but also scared. A chill ran from the soles of his feet to his head. What was wrong with his son Zuo Guangzong today? Usually, even if he didn't teach him, he would still insist on others and never suffer losses.
"Then who poisoned the wine? Do you know?" Mister Qiao glared fiercely at Zuo Xuancheng and asked. Zuo Xuancheng realized that the sword hanging above his head seemed to be even sharper.
"It was me!" Zuo Guangzong's answer made Zuo Xuancheng's heart skip a beat. At this time, Zuo Xuancheng already had the thought of giving up on this son of his. His lips moved desperately as he transmitted a message to his son Zuo Guangzong.
"Idiot, take all the blame yourself, or pretend to be crazy. Don't involve the family, don't involve the family!" Zuo Xuancheng shouted desperately.
But what shocked Zuo Xuancheng was that he couldn't see a trace of emotion on his son Zuo Guangzong's face. He couldn't see any expression other than stupidity.
On the other hand, Ling Yuanshan relaxed. Although he couldn't understand why the usually astute Zuo Guangzong would be so abnormal today, as long as the blame wasn't placed on his son, he would be satisfied.
"Why did you — poison the wine!" Mister Qiao's words were full of murderous intent. If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to clarify things, Mister Qiao would have cut off Zuo Guangzong's head with his sword.
When Mister Qiao asked this question, everyone's eyes focused on Zuo Guangzong's face. Even Zuo Xuancheng was particularly nervous. "Son, I beg you, even if you put yourself in danger, don't put the Zuo family in danger. If you're a man, take the blame yourself, ah!"
At this critical moment, Zuo Guangzong didn't speak. His lips trembled non-stop, and he couldn't say a word.
"Speak!" An intimidating roar came out of Mister Qiao's mouth, shocking Zuo Guangzong into a daze. Even his mind seemed to be affected. His originally trembling lips suddenly stopped trembling.
"It was my father, my father asked me to do this. My father said that Bi Pengzhuo was of noble status. If I killed Bi Pengzhuo and framed the Ling family, the power behind Bi Pengzhuo would destroy the Ling family, and the Zuo family would be able to dominate Nanshan County!" Zuo Guangzong said this sentence so quickly that no one in the Zuo family could react.
This sentence was like a bolt of lightning exploding on top of Zuo Xuancheng's head. At the same time, it made Zuo Xuancheng dizzy and feel like he was going to faint.
Zuo Xuancheng knew very well that he had never done such a thing! That meant that today, he, Zuo Xuancheng, was framed by his own son in front of everyone. It was ridiculous, ironic, and extremely sad!
Zuo Xuancheng might be the only one in Tiangang Continent to be framed by his own son.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zuo Guangzong. No one noticed that after Zuo Guangzong said those words, Ling Dong suddenly collapsed. His chest rose and fell rapidly, and his face was covered in sweat and exhaustion.
Only his father, Ling Yuanshan, frowned. He stepped forward and gently supported Ling Dong. He thought that Ling Dong was nervous.
"Zuo Xuancheng, die!" Mister Qiao roared with his eyes wide open.
"Mister Qiao, this is my son's nonsense. My son is stupid, really!" While Zuo Xuancheng was panicking, his pair of angry eyes glared at Zuo Guangzong. "Unfilial son, you beast, I'll kill you!"
In a flash, a Zuo Family expert behind Zuo Xuancheng rushed towards Mister Qiao. The latter did not panic and slashed out with his sword. However, Zuo Xuancheng took this opportunity to escape from Mister Qiao's sword and raised his sword to slash at Zuo Guangzong!
After saying those words, Zuo Guangzong, who had been silent all this time, saw his father's sword coming towards him. Suddenly, he revealed a relieved smile and rushed forward.
"Pu!"
Caught off guard, Zuo Xuancheng was also stunned. The long sword in his hand pierced through Zuo Guangzong's chest, and blood splattered on the spot.
Zuo Guangzong tilted his head, and his face was filled with a strange smile of relief!
"Zong 'er!"
Zuo Xuancheng cried out in grief. He was stunned on the spot. He did not expect that his own son would die in his own hands. Even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs!
In fact, he did not want to kill his son. He did not want to kill him.
Bi Pengzhuo's death was transferred to the Zuo Family by accident. It was foreseeable that not to mention the power behind Bi Pengzhuo, the Bright Sword Sect alone could destroy the Zuo Family.
He only wanted to take him away, to leave a bloodline for the Zuo Family …
Zuo Xuancheng's heart instantly felt like it was being stabbed by a knife …
