Chapter 197 Yang Zheng's Last Move
Hearing these familiar words, Yang Zheng's tight heart finally fell to the ground.
He turned his head and saw Xunzi, who was leisurely, bowed to the ground and said sincerely: "I will repay the kindness I owe you in the second half of my life!"
He had already thought that after returning to Qin State to ascend the throne, he would take Xunzi to Xianyang City and offer sacrifices to his ancestors. He would no longer have to stay in Jixia Academy and endure the foolish royal family of Qi.
Mengchangjun looked shocked, and unexpectedly expected Xunzi's timely appearance. After a moment of stunned silence, he also bowed, "Greetings to Senior Xun Sheng."
He is in his seventies this year. According to the age of a normal person, he is of course a senior. However, in front of a saint who can live for more than a hundred years, he is still a late junior. He is not qualified to be arrogant and has to be respectful.
Xunzi walked over, looked at Mengchangjun, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't have to be too polite. I heard that you have been at home for several years, so why is Ya Xing coming out to walk around today?"
It is true that he is a saint, and Mengchangjun is also a great master. Although his strength is not as good as that, once Mengchangjun joins forces with King Qi and fights with him to the end, he may not be able to escape unscathed, let alone protect Yang Zheng.
Seeing that he asked about this on his own initiative, Mengchangjun looked embarrassed and knew that he could no longer hide it. So he said, "Yang Zheng kidnapped my four sons and tried to extort huge ransoms. He was surrounded by me here. I was about to avenge the two dead sons, and you happened to appear."
The two dead sons refer to Tian Ji and Tian Yuan.
When Mengchangjun arrived at Qingyaxuan, the two of them were already unconscious and had only one last breath. Even if he lost his Taoist practice and tried his best to treat him, he would only allow them to live for a few more days at most. The antidote was held in Yang Zheng's hand and he would not be able to escape death sooner or later.
What's more, he was very angry at Tian Ji's behavior of revealing secrets and was reluctant to waste his cultivation. Therefore, when he saw the two people dying, his response was not to save people, but to make a quick decision and choose to return to Chuiyun Tower and kill Yang Zheng to vent his hatred.
So, Yang Zheng miscalculated, Mengchangjun returned early and found his escape. After following him, the scene in front of him was revealed.
In the past half an hour, Tian Ji and Tian Yuan had not received treatment and must have died. Mengchangjun clearly gave up treatment and did not want to be kind to his father, but claimed to avenge his son. How could Yang Zheng not be despised by such disagreements?
Xunzi thoughtfully, threw the remaining dog legs aside and asked, "Is there any evidence?"
Evidence must be given in everything, otherwise both parties will have their own opinions and will never be able to judge who is lying.
Mengchangjun smiled faintly, as if expecting this situation, and asked back: "If I have evidence, can it prove that Yang Zheng is the murderer, will he still protect him? I have heard of your relationship with him. If you insist on intervening, then there is no need to say more. Let's go to the palace to confront him!"
He brought out the King of Qi, which was a naked deterrence.
This question is very difficult to answer. Xunzi looked at Yang Zheng and sighed: "Many people value interests too much and are willing to do anything for their friends out of their own position. But I am different. I only have right and wrong in my eyes, and I cannot favor my personal feelings. Maybe I will be regarded as cruel..."
His answer was meaningful, and Yang Zheng understood it and remained silent.
Mengchangjun replied with a smile: "Senior is upright and selfless, and he is a role model for us. Since you said that, I believe that as long as I provide evidence to prove that Yang Zheng is the murderer, you will bring him to justice, right?"
Xunzi refused to comment, "Anotherwise, if you can't come up with conclusive evidence and cannot prove Yang Zheng and Tian Wen, then don't blame me for protecting you!"
Mengchangjun snorted lightly and pointed at Yang Zheng and said, "It's actually very simple. When he escaped from the scene, he wore a silver mask on his face and a black cloak. He hurried in just now and had no time to destroy it, so he must have put them in the ring."
He came with Yang Zheng and confirmed that Yang Zheng did not throw his outfit halfway.
"In addition, if I guess correctly, he should have obtained the treasures for the redemption of people, namely the Burning Heaven Seal and the Return of the Dzi beads. So, just search his body and check if there are any of these items to verify whether he is the murderer."
When he said this, he was not sure whether his judgment was correct. But now that he had come to this point, he would rather be in vain than be indifferent. He would rather take the risk of making mistakes than let the biggest suspect leave, otherwise there would be no way to verify it afterwards and would have to die of two sons in vain.
Since he entered the house, his eyes have been on Yang Zheng, just to prevent Yang Zheng from hiding the stolen goods elsewhere while he is unprepared. Now, as long as he is searched, the truth will surface.
"Burning the Heaven Seal? Returning the Dzi Beads?"
When Xunzi heard this, he looked at Yang Zheng deeply, "Is the treasure that Mengchangjun mentioned lies with you? If I hand it over it, I can also give you a chance to survive, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
In fact, from the very beginning, he guessed that most of this was done by Yang Zheng.
Why do you say so? Because Qingyaxuan is very special, it is very close to the back mountain of the Academy.
An hour ago, when Mengchangjun approached Qingyaxuan, Xunzi felt his deep breath and realized that things were unusual. Mengchangjun had not gone out for many years, but ran under his nose as soon as he went out. His intentions were unclear, so how could he not be alert?
After Mengchangjun left, Xunzi quickly went to Qingyaxuan to investigate, and the two young masters died. The whole school knew about the grudge between Tian Yuan and Yang Zheng. At that moment, Xunzi had a foreshadowing that this matter was related to Yang Zheng.
So he secretly followed Mengchangjun and came here.
It was not accidental that he rushed to save the scene in time. What he didn't know was that Yang Zheng set the location in Qingyaxuan, which was so close to the back mountain of the Academy Palace, was not accidental.
Using Xunzi to restrain Mengchangjun is the deepest way Yang Zheng hid.
Chuiyun Tower and Qingyaxuan, the locations of these two families are very mysterious.
At this moment, when Xunzi heard the three words "Fengtian Seal", he understood completely. Once upon a time, Yang Zheng specifically asked him about who the Fengtian Seal was in. Now, the Fengtian Seal has become a condition for redeeming people. Do you still need to guess the identity of the murderer?
He questioned Yang Zheng with a few words, and there were two meanings hidden.
The first level is to test Yang Zheng whether the Burning Heaven Seal is really on him. If it is true, then Mengchangjun must not be searched. Xunzi must find a way to stop it;
The second level is to give Yang Zheng a step forward, to see if he is willing to hand over it on his own initiative. At that time, for the sake of the saint, King Qi and Mengchangjun may not really want him to pay his life. The dead are gone, and the living may not have no conditions to negotiate.
No matter which level is, it is actually a difficult problem and will put Yang Zheng in danger.
Yang Zheng's expression was slightly condensed, and he was about to answer, but at this moment, Feng Xi and others rushed over, obviously feeling the master's position.
Feng Xian walked to Mengchangjun and whispered to report: "Master, those two fake magic weapons have been stolen by the real murderer."
Mengchangjun blinked, and the smile on his face became stronger and stronger, "Feng Xi, say it loudly."
Feng Xi was stunned and confused, and repeated loudly: "Master, those two fake magic weapons have been stolen by the real murderer!"
Yang Zheng's face was calm, but his heart skipped a beat.
What? I worked hard for a long time and the burning sky seal was actually fake?!
mmmp, it turns out that this is a sinkhole!
