Jiang Jingtian was still immersed in the joy of victory, but was abruptly interrupted by Zhao Shitu, and immediately turned to him, angrily said: "What did you say?"

Zhao Shitu shook his head slightly and said: "You said that she revealed the secret to please me, you are too overestimating her. Yes, I did know the entrance of the Cangjian Pavilion because of her, but I knew the origin of this woman a long time ago. I also know that she is entangled with the Jiang family, I can't trust her, let alone let her participate in our plan."

Jiang Jingtian asked suspiciously, "Since she doesn't know your secret, how did you find out her secret?"

Zhao Shitu said: "If you want to know a person's secret, you don't have to ask."

Jiang Jingtian gradually lost his patience, and said displeasedly, "What do you mean?"

Zhao Shitu's expression was still calm, and he said: "A person can speak not only with a mouth, but also with hands. Hands can write what they want to say on paper. Isn't it more accurate than words in black and white?"

Jiang Jingtian said, "You mean writing a letter?"

Zhao Shitu nodded and said: "Things that can be explained clearly with words, there is no need to do it. The blame is that women are always stupid and always do some unnecessary things."

On the side, Ming Yuezhu said in surprise: "Yes, I did write to Aunt Jin, but..."

Zhao Shitu immediately interrupted her and said: "But you think I haven't read your letter, and I don't know what you wrote? You are too lazy to deliver letters and refuse to go out in person. All letters are sealed with Escort sealant, and I deliver them to you. Post station, before delivery, it is easy for me to unseal the lacquer seal and seal it back after reading it.”

Jiang Jingtian also secretly revealed a look of surprise, and lowered his eyes to scan the corpse lying on the ground, but Aunt Jin was already dead, and the dead could not speak, let alone provide him with testimony.

Zhao Shitu was still facing Mingyuezhu, and said slowly: "You feel that you are under the fence everywhere in Jiangfu. Only Aunt Jin treats you sincerely. She is also a mother and friend to you. You feel ashamed of Jiang's family in your heart, so you confide your pain to her in a letter." , talking everything, and of course you mentioned the secret of stealing into the Hidden Sword Pavilion, do you think no one can hear your voice because you told her to burn it after reading it?"

Ming Yuezhu was startled and angry, shook her head and said, "You..."

Zhao Shitu said: "Why, do you feel regretful? You have always been the laziest member of the Escort, your martial arts are mediocre, and your life experience is even more unclear. If it wasn't for getting out your secret, why do you think I would keep you here?" ?”

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Mingyuezhu to reply, he turned to the three people behind her contemptuously, and continued: "As for the three of them, although one has a surly temperament, his martial arts are good, and the other is a humble son of a concubine, and his status is good or bad. It is useful, but as for the last brat, it is extremely mediocre, a piece of trash, it doesn’t make any difference whether you keep it or not, since you can’t get rid of it for the time being, you can only endure it for a while.”

His eyes briefly met with Shangguan Qing, who was staring straight at him, the silence seemed to be bred with great anger, as if he was suppressing a thousand words, but he just smiled dismissively, and soon He looked away.

Shangguanqing's hand was already on the handle of the knife, but Yan Wuhua firmly held down her arm.Luo Huan also stood behind Yan Wuhua, his fists were clenched purple.

Jiang Jingtian still didn't believe it, and asked, "You said that your accomplices are not them, so who are they?"

Zhao Shitu said: "Didn't your eyeliner see who I was meeting with?"

Jiang Jingtian said: "You... are you planning to sell your home country?"

Zhao Shitu shook his head, and asked back: "Whether it is Jianghu or Jiangshan, if it is decayed, do you think it should be replaced?"

His words caused a group of yamen servants to stop discussing, and all fell into silence, looking at him together.

Even Jiang Jingtian was taken aback by his question. These rebellious remarks are by no means child's play. No matter how unrestrained the Jianghu people are, they will not openly disobey the current imperial court in front of the officials and yamen.

He didn't understand where Zhao Shitu's courage came from. He was clearly in prison and couldn't protect himself, but he was still calm, as if he had nothing to fear.

The court and the Jianghu have always had nothing to do with each other, but Jiang Jingtian, carrying the Jiang family's expectation of entering the world, is caught between the gap between the two, and is in great pain.Now, Zhao Shitu humiliated his painstaking efforts with flirtatious words. His gaze on Zhao Shitu became sharper unconsciously. There was not only hatred in his eyes, but also an indelible hatred.He and this person are destined to be incompatible.

In the end, it was Yan Wuhua who broke the silence. He pointed to his former friend and said sharply: "Zhao Shitu, I introduced you to my father because I regard you as a friend, but you are ambitious and deceive others. You blame me for trusting you. Today I have broken all ties with you, what kind of escort board is just a pawn in your hand, I see this play, and there is no need to continue it."

Zhao Shitu said coldly: "Brother Yan, if you want to cut off your robes with me, I will do it."

Yan Wuhua really pulled out a short knife, her hands trembling with anger, and cut off a piece of cloth on the cuff.

Zhao Shitu nodded repeatedly and said: "Okay, okay." He also bent down and pulled out the dagger buried deep in Aunt Jin's body.With a blade stained with thick blood, he cut open his sleeve.

The light white cloth fell to the ground and landed on the corpse, which was soon soaked in thick blood.

The moonlight was bleak, reflecting Zhao Shitu's face.There was still a smile on his face, as if everything that happened in front of him didn't matter to him at all.

Jiang Jingtian finally drew his sword.

The jewel-like hilt completely lost its brilliance in the moonlight, leaving only the tip of the sword glowing, touching Zhao Shitu's chest, and it was about to stab.

Ming Yuechen took a step forward, pressed his arm, and said anxiously: "Master, you can't do it. This case is of great importance, and this person is also the key. I need to escort him back to the government for disposal."

Jiang Jingtian finally stopped halfway and turned to look at her.

Ming Yuechen said: "Master, don't you believe me?"

Jiang Jingtian said slowly: "Ah Chen...Of course I believe you." Then he put down his sword.

Ming Yuechen immediately turned to the yamen who was traveling with him, waved his hand and said, "What are you waiting for, take down the two suspects first, and deal with the rest after investigation."

The yamen servants drew their swords out of their sheaths, divided into two groups, and surrounded Mingyuezhu and Zhao Shitu respectively.

Mingyuezhu didn't pay attention to their actions, and regarded the shining blade as nothing, her eyes still followed Zhao Shitu, and she hesitated to speak.

Zhao Shitu said to her through the crowd: "Oh, there is no way, who made you lazy and stupid, it seems that you can only go to the prison with me, a rascal."
