Forced Marriage [Cultivation]
Chapter 16 Rashomon 1
"Name."
"...Xiaoya."
"The three disciples Zhang Shun, Zhao Yu, and Chen Kang of Suomo Palace, but you killed them?"
"I wanted to kill them, but in the end they killed themselves."
Gu Baitang glanced at Qin Zun, Qin Zun held back his anger, his eyes could kill.Gu Baitang asked the Lingxiu again: "Then how did the three of them die?"
"That night, I took advantage of my master's unpreparedness and wanted to escape from the West City. When I arrived at Bishuizhou, I saw the three of them drinking tea and talking at the Huxin Pavilion. Thinking that they had treated me badly in the Suomo Palace, I secretly He dived into the water, intending to swim there to revenge them. But the three of them suddenly quarreled, accusing each other, neither would give in to the other, and finally knocked over the teacup and drew out their swords to fight..."
"You nonsense!" Someone in the crowd shouted loudly, furious.Looking over at Jiang Suxing, he must be a disciple of Fu Mo Tang.The three disciples who died were also from Fu Mo Tang, and the one who hated the murderer the most was also a disciple of Fu Mo Tang.
"It's clear that you killed them by cruel means, and let them... leave them with no bones left. Now you are sophistrying that the three senior brothers killed each other? Could it be that they will cut off all the other's heads and seal them back?" Does it exist in the stone wall of the back mountain of Suomo Palace?" A disciple of Fumotang couldn't bear it anymore and said loudly in public.He was furious, and his voice was harsh, which caused an uproar among the other disciples in the public trial arena.
"Yes." The criminal kneeling under the hall looked blank and serious, "Listen to me first. The three of them killed each other and cut off each other's arms, which scared even me. Stop it. I don't know what kind of deep hatred they have, anyway, after almost killing them, that Senior Brother Chen asked me to separate and seal up the bodies of the three of them..."
"It's just nonsense!"
"Monster! I'll kill you!"
The public trial altar saw crowds attacking them, especially the disciples of Fu Mo Tang, who were even more furious. Gu Baitang commanded the people to spend a lot of effort to suppress them.
But Xiaoya, who was kneeling on the ground, confessed her crime calmly: "In short, if you want to find someone to pay for your life, you can find me. I am willing to accept the crime."
It seems that Xiaoya's rhetoric has been repeated many times, and Gu Baitang has nothing to do with him, so he can only ask the seven elders sitting in Gao for instructions.Jiang Suxing noticed that when the elder of Fu Mo Tang said something in a low voice, Elder Huo of Law Enforcing Palace frowned, Ming Zheng's expression changed, obviously he could not agree.Yujuu had a cold face, noncommittal.
Jiang Suxing guessed that this should be the Seventh Elder convicting Xiaoya.Sure enough, after a while, Gu Baitang announced: "Tianzhu Peak has a small and elegant spirit, and the crime is heinous. After the discussion of the elders, the death penalty of 'burning the corpse and destroying the traces' will be imposed, and the execution will be carried out in three days."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's face turned cold, presumably everyone felt that Xiaoya deserved what she deserved.Jiang Suxing carefully observed Xiaoya's expression, and found that there was a hint of hatred and unwillingness in her eyes, but she disguised it with a sense of relief.
At this moment in the previous life, Jiang Suxing and Chu Wan were imprisoned in the Emperor's Palace together and did not participate in the trial. However, looking at the audience today, it is obvious that Xiaoya's rhetoric has too many loopholes and is not enough to convict.And why did the group of elders make a hasty decision?In the process of convicting, what differences did Master have with Elder Yan of Fu Mo Hall?
"Master, you don't seem to agree with the elders' conviction of Xiaoya?" After returning to Yuding Palace, Jiang Suxing met Mingzheng alone and asked.
Mingzheng said: "All 'spiritual cultivation' are monks who have suffered humiliation and resentment and died in life. After death, the undead are not allowed to be reborn, and they have gone through untold hardships to cultivate human form again. Although it is suspected of killing three disciples of Fumotang, But burning the corpse to wipe out the traces is to crush it to ashes and never see the light of day. Poor, poor."
Jiang Suxing took a step forward, "Then why didn't Master stop the decision of the other elders? This conviction was proposed by Elder Yan of Fumo Hall and Elder Huo of Law Enforcement Palace?"
Mingzheng glanced at him in surprise, and said: "Senior brother Yan lost three beloved disciples, it is understandable to advocate burning the murderer's body in a fit of rage; This kind of thing must be severely punished as an example.”
Jiang Suxing said: "Indeed, the two masters are right. But the disciples, like the master, still feel that such a conviction is too hasty. There are many loopholes in Xiaoya's statement. If I don't believe the master, I will believe it."
Mingzheng sighed: "Now it's not a question of whether to believe it or not. After three disciples died, someone will always be punished. The truth of the matter is no longer important, what matters is the result. If this matter is investigated further, other people will inevitably be involved. . Su Xing, this matter is over, so you don't need to worry about it anymore."
The two masters and apprentices had already tacitly understood each other. After a moment of silence, Jiang Suxing said: "It's better. This disciple also knows that Master can't bear to Xiaoya, so I will leave this matter to disciple. Master doesn't need to say anything. There is no need to do it, just watch the disciple. Even if he offends someone or breaks some rules, the master will bear the crime of lax discipline at most, but he can help Xiaoya and even save his life. How about it? "
Mingzheng looked at the apprentice in front of him, and seemed to exude a calmness and temperament that was not inferior to his age in an instant.Mingzheng hesitated to speak, but finally nodded and said in a deep voice: "You are a smart person, pay attention to propriety and act carefully."
"The disciple kowtows to the benevolent teacher."
In the middle of the night, Jiang Suxing went straight to the Emperor's Palace.Chu Wan was furious, and was imprisoned in the room by the eldest brother of the Chu family, unable to escape.When Jiang Suxing left, Chu Wan was cursing, pointing at and cursing Qin Zun and Chu Shuo for being cowardly and disregarding human life, and all the elders in Xicheng are a nest of snakes and rats with no shame.But it sounds like Chu Wan is currently unaware of the news that Xiaoya has been convicted.
"Patriarch Chu, Brother Ling and I are best friends, I will go and persuade him." Jiang Suxing said.
Chu Shuo sized him up for a moment, a little puzzled: "Your Excellency is..."
"Brother, this is the second young master of the Jiang family in Yuping that I mentioned to you, and now he is also the head of the Jiang family." The second girl Chu who was standing by the side stepped forward and said, politely nodded to Jiang Suxing as a greeting.Begonia was waiting eagerly, and when Jiang Suxing looked over, he gave a blessing.
"So it's Patriarch Jiang. Nice to meet you." Chu Shuo struggled to get up from the wheelchair. Jiang Suxing saw that this person was tall and handsome, and his appearance was imposing. The charming man.
"I have long heard that Patriarch Jiang takes great care of my younger brother. I have always wanted to visit him in person. I never thought that my younger brother would cause such trouble again. He must have involved you. Chu is really ashamed."
Jiang Suxing said: "Master Chu is out of touch. Brother Ling and I are life-and-death friends, and I also see the friendship between him and Xiaoya. Brother Ling is a person who values love and righteousness. Xiaoya burned his body to wipe out all traces this time. , he must have buried a knot in his heart. Wouldn't it be a disaster for no reason to have a rift with the master and brothers of the Chu family in the future?"
Chu Shuo sighed, his expression serious, "Even if he hates me, I can't let him go. He let that beast out of the Demon Lock Palace without permission last time, and it has already caused a catastrophe. If you are listening to his sophistry this time, who is it? Knowing will not harm the common people?!"
Hearing Chu Shuo's tone, he hated Xiaoya extremely and had no mercy.Jiang Suxing said casually, "That's fine. I just want to persuade Chu Wan, he must have misunderstood you deeply now, but he doesn't want your troubles at all. I really can't bear him to be full of hatred for elder brother in the future, so I want to enlighten him He, I don't know what the Chu family's plan is?"
Chu Shuo felt quite relieved, "It's a great honor for Wandi to have a close friend like you. It's just that Patriarch Jiang shouldn't let the news of that evil animal be burned to exterminate its traces, so that Wandi won't... "
"Patriarch Chu, don't worry, Suxing has his own measure." Jiang Suxing said.
Chu Wan was smashing things in the room, when the door opened, a vase was thrown towards him, Jiang Suxing escaped in a narrow escape, but still scratched his forehead, bleeding out a smear.
"Oh! Patriarch Jiang, you are injured!" Haitang panicked, took out a snow-white handkerchief and hurriedly wiped it for Jiang Suxing.
"Thank you, Miss Haitang, I have a few words with Chu Wan, can you avoid it for a while?" Jiang Suxing pressed his forehead with a handkerchief, and said to Haitang.
Haitang's eyes were filled with pity, "But your forehead..."
"It's fine."
After Haitang Qiqi Ai Ai walked away step by step, Jiang Suxing quickly closed the door and pasted a 'soundproof' charm to prevent anyone from eavesdropping outside.
"What are you here for?" After the room became quiet, Chu Wan sat on a chair with a sleepy expression, "Could it be that you are also here to be a lobbyist? Don't bother trying to persuade me, the master and the head teacher have already preached to me It’s been three days and three nights, and I’m already bored to death. I’m no longer interested in listening to your benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness.”
"If I say that Xiaoya is dying right now, are you still interested in listening?" Jiang Suxing poured himself a cup of tea and sat down at the table.
"It pleaded guilty?!" Chu Wan stood up at once, seeing that Jiang Suxing was still drinking tea leisurely, grabbed the teacup angrily and threw it on the ground. "What crime did you give it? Golden Beach? Eighteen layers of hell? Or life imprisonment in the Demon Palace?"
"Jiuqu waterfall water, burn corpses and wipe out traces." Jiang Suxing said coolly.
"What!..." Chu Wan turned pale, took two steps back, and fell to the ground. "How could it be so heavy... yes... those three people died so badly... but..."
Chu Wan was frightened intermittently, but she was clearly hiding something.
Jiang Suxing said in a deep voice: "Chu Wan, you still haven't told me the truth until now."
Chu Wan was taken aback, and immediately looked at Jiang Suxing defensively, his voice changed: "What do you mean?"
Jiang Suxing's expression turned serious, and said: "Xiaoya's rhetoric has too many loopholes, even a fool can see who it is protecting. Except for you, Chu Wan, in the entire West City, I can't figure out who it will plead guilty to!"
Chu Wan sat slumped on the ground, was silent for a while, and suddenly covered her head and howled in pain.
"...Xiaoya."
"The three disciples Zhang Shun, Zhao Yu, and Chen Kang of Suomo Palace, but you killed them?"
"I wanted to kill them, but in the end they killed themselves."
Gu Baitang glanced at Qin Zun, Qin Zun held back his anger, his eyes could kill.Gu Baitang asked the Lingxiu again: "Then how did the three of them die?"
