Wei WuXian said, "Then is there any evidence for what you said?"
Sisi said: "No."
Sect Leader Yao immediately said: "She told the details so clearly, she is definitely not lying!"
Lan Qiren frowned, turned to the other woman, and said, "I seem to have seen you before."
The woman looked frightened and said: "I should... I should have seen it before."
Others were startled: This Sisi is a wild prostitute, could this woman be the same? How could Lan Qiren have seen her?
The woman said: "When the Qin family in Leling holds talks, I always accompany my wife."
"The Leling Qin family?" A female monk asked: "Are you the maid of the Leling Qin family?"
A more sharp-eyed female cultivator called out her name directly: "You are... Bicao, Mrs. Qin's personal maid Bicao! Right?"
The Mrs. Qin she mentioned refers to Qin Cangye's wife, who is also the biological mother of Jin Guangyao's wife Qin Su. The woman nodded and said, "But now I am no longer in the Qin family."
Sect Master Yao was so excited that he stood up and said, "Do you have something to tell us?"
Bi Cao's eyes were red and she said: "What I want to say happened earlier, twelve or thirteen years ago.
"I have served my wife for many years and watched her grow up. My wife has always cared about her very much, but in the short period of time when she was about to get married, my wife was always in a bad mood. She had nightmares every night, and sometimes during the day. I would suddenly burst into tears. I thought it was because the young lady was getting married, and she was reluctant to bear it. I kept comforting her by saying that the person the young lady was going to marry, Lian Fangzun Jin Guangyao, was young and promising, and he was also a gentle, considerate, and dedicated man. , Miss will live a good life. Who knows that after hearing this, Madam looked even sadder.
"When the wedding day was approaching, one night, my wife suddenly told me that she was going to meet the young lady's future husband, and she wanted me to accompany her quietly now. I said, you can summon him to see you. Why do you have to wake up in the middle of the night? Sneaking to see a young man? It would be very unpleasant if people knew about it. But the lady was adamant, so I had to go with her. But after arriving, she asked me to stay outside and not Go in. So I didn't hear anything. I don't know what she said to Jin Guangyao. I only know that a few days later, the date for the young lady's wedding was set. The lady fainted as soon as she saw the post. And when the young lady got married After that, my wife was depressed all the time and suffered from heart disease, which became more and more serious. Before she died, she couldn't hold it in anymore and told me everything."
Bi Cao said while crying: "Lianfangzun Jin Guangyao and my young lady Qin Su, how can they be a couple? They are basically a brother and sister..."
"What?!"
Even if a thunderbolt explodes in the sword test hall at this time, it will not be more powerful than this sentence. Qin Su's pale face appeared in front of Wei Wuxian's eyes. Bi Cao said: "My wife is so unfortunate... Old Sect Master Jin is not a human being. He was greedy for my wife's appearance, and once he forced her to do so after being drunk outside... My wife could not resist, and she did not dare to say anything afterward. My master is right Jin Guangshan was very loyal, and she was extremely scared. Jin Guangshan couldn't remember whose daughter the young lady was, but my wife couldn't forget. She didn't dare to look for Jin Guangshan, knowing that the young lady fell in love with Jin Guangyao and struggled for a long time, before the wedding. I went to him quietly, revealed some of the inside story, and begged him to find a way to cancel the marriage, so as not to make a big mistake. Who would have thought...who would have thought that Jin Guangyao knew that the young lady was his biological sister, but he still married her!"
What's even more terrifying is that not only did he marry her, but they also had a child!
This is truly a shocking scandal!
The tide of discussion among the people was getting louder and louder. "Old Sect Master Qin has followed Jin Guangshan for how many years, and he even wants to get involved with the wives of his old subordinates. This Jin Guangshan!"
"After all, there is no airtight wall in the world..."
"If Jin Guangyao wants to establish a firm foothold in the Lanling Jin family, he must have Qin Cangye, a solid father-in-law, to help him. How could he be willing not to marry?"
"In terms of being insane and insane, he is truly unparalleled in the world!"
Wei Wuxian whispered to Lan Wangji, "No wonder he told Qin Su in the secret room, 'A Song must die.'"
Others in the Sword Testing Hall thought of Asong. Sect Leader Yao said: "From this point of view, I would venture to guess that his son may not have been murdered by others at all, but by himself."
"How to say?"
Sect Master Yao analyzed: "Children born from close relatives will most likely be demented. Jin Rusong happened to be just a few years old when he died, which was the age when the youngest son was enlightened. When the child is too young, others cannot see any good rules, but once he grows up, If he is older, the fact that he is different from ordinary people will be exposed. Even if there is no doubt about the blood relationship of his parents, if a child with dementia is born, others will inevitably make irresponsible remarks and point fingers at Jin Guangyao, saying that it is because of him There are rumors that such a child would be born with the dirty blood of a prostitute..."
Everyone felt justified and said: "Sect Master Yao is really sharp!"
Sect Leader Yao added: "And the person who poisoned Jin Rusong at that time happened to be the head of the family who opposed him building a watchtower. How could it be such a coincidence?" He sneered: "Anyway, Jin Guangyao doesn't need to keep one He was probably the son of an idiot. He killed Jin Rusong, framed the family head who opposed him, and then in the name of avenging his son, openly and honestly attacked the disobedient family - although ruthless, he killed two birds with one stone. Lianfangzun is such a good trick! "
Suddenly, Wei Wuxian turned to Bicao and said, "Did you meet Qin Su that night at the Jinlintai symposium?"
Bi Cao was startled, and Wei Wuxian said: "That night in Fangfei Palace, Qin Su and Jin Guangyao had a quarrel. She said that she went to see a person, and the person told her something and gave her a letter. This person will never lie to her, is that what you said?"
Bi Cao said: "It's me."
Wei WuXian said, "You have kept this secret for so many years, why did you suddenly decide to tell her? And why do you suddenly want to make it public?"
Bi Cao said: "Because... I have to let the young lady see clearly what kind of person her husband is. Originally, I didn't want to make it public, but the young lady committed suicide inexplicably on the Jinlin Platform. I must expose the true face of this dressed-up beast and give it to the public." My wife and young lady seek justice."
Wei Wuxian smiled and said, "Don't you know? It was precisely because you told your lady that she committed suicide inexplicably."
Bi Cao said: "I..." Sect Master Yao said dissatisfied: "I don't agree with what you said. Is it right to conceal the truth?"
Someone immediately spoke up: "I can't blame others. Alas, Mr. Jin... Qin Su is still too fragile."
Several older female cultivators said, "Qin Su is so pitiful."
"I was envious of her at the beginning. I thought it was her destiny. She was from a good family and married to a good woman. She is the perfect mistress of Jinlin Terrace and her husband is devoted to her. Who knows, tsk tsk."
A lady seemed to be detached and said: "So these things that look beautiful are often riddled with holes behind them. There is nothing to envy at all."
Wei Wuxian thought to himself: "I'm afraid Qin Su chose to commit suicide because he couldn't bear the gossip from others that sounded like sympathy but was actually a pleasure to talk about."
He looked down and suddenly saw an emerald gold ring on Bi Cao's wrist. It was of excellent quality. It was definitely not something that a maid could afford to wear. He smiled and said, "The bracelet is good."
Bi Cao quickly pulled up her sleeves and lowered her head in silence.
Nie Huaisang said blankly: "But...but what are the origins of the two people who sent these two people here today...?"
Sect Leader Yao said: "Why bother with this! No matter who it is, one thing is certain: he is a righteous man and is definitely on our side."
Immediately echoed: "Not bad!"
Wei Wuxian said, "The person who saved Miss Sisi is indeed not a simple person. He has money and leisure. But, a righteous man? This has not yet been decided."
Lan Wangji said: "There are a lot of doubts."
If Wei Wuxian had said this, few people would have paid attention to it, but the person who spoke was Lan Wangji, so everyone immediately restrained their voices. Lan Qiren said: "Where is the doubt?"
Wei WuXian said, "That's a lot. For example, if Jin Guangyao is so ruthless, why did he kill twenty people and leave Sisi alone? Now we have the personal evidence, but what about the physical evidence?"
He kept making different noises, which seemed out of place in the public anger. Some people were already unhappy. Sect Leader Yao said loudly: "This is called the sky net's greatness, sparse but not leaking."
Hearing this, Wei Wuxian smiled slightly and stopped talking.
He knows that no one can listen to his words now, and no one will carefully consider his doubts. If he says a few more words, others might start targeting him again. If it were more than ten years ago, he would not pay attention to others at all, and he would say whatever he wanted, and you would have to listen or not. But now, Wei Wuxian no longer has any interest in being in the limelight.
Then, everyone in the hall began to condemn each other in waves:
"I didn't expect this person to be so ungrateful and crazy!"
The words "ungrateful" and "crazy" have been almost tied to Wei Wuxian for more than ten years. At first glance, he thought he was scolding himself again, and it took him a moment to realize. The scolding people were the same, and the scolding words were still the same, but the target of the scolding was a different person, which was a bit unfamiliar.
Then, another person said: "In the beginning, Jin Guangyao was able to climb up the ladder step by step just by pleasing Chifeng Lord and Zewu Lord. Otherwise, how could he, the son of a prostitute, be where he is today? He actually poisoned Chifeng Lord ! Mr. Zewu is still with him now, I just hope nothing happens!"
At first, they didn't believe that Nie Mingjue's death, the dismemberment of his body, and the siege of corpses in the mass graves were related to Jin Guangyao, but now they all suddenly believed it.
"Not only the sworn brother, but also the biological brother cannot escape the disaster. In the years before Jin Guangshan died, he was busy cleaning up his father's illegitimate children, for fear that someone would come out to compete with him for his position. Mo Xuanyu was pretty good, if not He was driven back because he was crazy, and he might have disappeared for various reasons like the others."
"Jin Zixuan's death must have something to do with him!"
"Who still remembers Xiao Xingchen back then? Mingyue Qingfeng Xiao Xingchen. And the Yueyang Chang family case. In that case, Xue Yang was also saved by Lian Fangzun."
"When Taoist Xiao Xingchen first came out, didn't many families want to invite him to be their guest? The Lanling Jin family also invited him to join, but he was politely declined. The Jin family was very proud at that time, but he was The little Taoist priest refused, feeling that he was losing face, so later the Lanling Jin Sect wanted to protect Xue Yang because of this old enmity. In short, he just wanted to see Xiao Xingchen end miserably."
"Bah! What do they think they are? They want you to look good if you don't join?"
"Alas, what a pity. Back then, I had the honor to witness Taoist Priest Xiao Xingchen's elegance when he was hunting at night. Shuanghua moved the world with one sword."
"Jin Guangyao later cleaned up Xue Yang, so that dog bites dog."
"I heard that when Jin Guangyao was undercover for the Wen family in Qishan, he was not honest at all. He had this idea: If the Sun Shooting Campaign did not go well, he would continue to work for the Wen family and please Wen Ruohan. If the Wen family When he is about to fall, he will fight back and be a hero."
"Wen Ruohan is probably going to be mad at him. Back then, he trained Jin Guangyao as a confidant. Jin Guangyao's current swordsmanship was probably taught to him by Wen Ruohan!"
"What does this mean? I heard that the reason why Chifeng Zun failed in his surprise attack was because he deliberately sent false information!"
"Let me tell you a secret. Didn't the money and materials for the observatory he built come from other families? Everyone contributed. I heard that he would quietly keep...this amount for himself."
"Oh my god... there are so many. It's really shameless. Unfortunately, I thought he really wanted to do something. Our sincerity has fed the dog!"
Wei Wuxian felt slightly funny and thought to himself, "Since it's just a rumor, why rush to believe it? Since it's a secret, how did you know about it?"
These rumors were not spread for the first time. However, when Jin Guangyao gained power in the past, they were well suppressed and no one took them seriously. But tonight, the rumors seemed to have suddenly turned into conclusive facts, becoming the cornerstone of Jin Guangyao's numerous crimes to prove his madness.
"It seems that this Jin killed his father, brother, wife, son, master, friends... and committed incest. It's really terrible!"
"The Lanling Jin family is overbearing and domineering, and Jin Guangyao is even more arbitrary and never listens to the opinions of others. Today's arrogant, extravagant and bullying atmosphere is all caused by Jin Guangyao. Do you really think we will always endure this bad temper? !"
"He saw that the power of each family has been expanding and growing in strength over the years, and he has developed a sense of threat. He is afraid of being overthrown like the Qishan Wen family was overthrown, so he keeps doing nothing and wants to kill us all, right?"
Sect Master Yao sneered: "In that case, we will make his worst fear come true." He slapped the table and said: "Attack Jinlin Tower!"
Amid the applause and cheers from the whole hall, Wei Wuxian thought to himself, "Just before today, this terrifying figure was the Lian Fangzun praised by everyone. In one day, everyone shouted and beat him up."
Suddenly, a person on the side turned his head and said: "Mr. Wei, Jin Guangyao has the Yin Tiger Talisman in his hand. I have to entrust you with this thing."
Wei WuXian said, "Huh?"
He didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to talk to him, and be so enthusiastic, and even use the term "sir" instead of "wei thief" or "wei dog". He was slightly startled. Immediately, another family head also said: "That's right! On this path, no one can surpass the ancestor of Yiling!"
"Now Jin Guangyao has kicked the iron plate, hahahaha..."
Wei Wuxian was speechless for a moment. The last time others flattered him so much was during the Sun Shooting Campaign more than ten years ago. Although someone finally succeeded him in taking the position of Public Enemy of the Hundreds, Wei Wuxian didn't feel much of the joy of suffering, let alone the feeling of being finally accepted by the world. I just couldn't help but wonder in my heart: "Were they like tonight? A group of people gathered in a certain place, held a secret meeting, cursed at the sky, and then decided to suppress mass burials. Already on duty?"
After the meeting, Yunmeng Jiang's banquet hall was just ready. However, after the banquet started, two figures were missing from the table. A family head asked curiously: "Why are Wei... Yiling Patriarch and Hanguang Lord missing?"
Jiang Cheng sat on the chief table and asked the guest next to him: "Where is the person?"
The guest said: "The two of them went to change their clothes after leaving the inner hall. They said they would not join the banquet. They would go out for a walk and come back later."
Jiang Cheng sneered and said, "Still the same, ignorant of etiquette."
Lan Wangji seemed to be scolded by these words, and Lan Qiren looked unhappy. If Lan Wangji could be said to be ignorant of etiquette, then there would be no such thing as etiquette in the world. Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth at Wei Wuxian again. Jiang Cheng on the other end adjusted his tone and said politely: "Everyone, go ahead and have your meal. I'll invite them back later."
Outside Lotus Pier, in front of the dock, Lan Wangji allowed Wei Wuxian to lead him, walking around leisurely without asking where he was going.
There were several food stalls on the pier. Wei Wuxian walked over to take a look and said with a smile, "It's right not to eat with them. Lan Zhan, come here, this cake is delicious. I'll treat you! Please bring two." Bar."
The stall owner smiled happily and wrapped two cakes in oil paper. Wei Wuxian was about to pick them up when he suddenly remembered that he was penniless, so what should he treat them with? Lan Wangji had already taken it on his behalf and paid for it with one hand. Wei Wuxian said, "Oops. I'm sorry, why is it always like this? It seems like every time I want to treat you to something, I fail."
Lan Wangji said: "It doesn't matter."
Wei Wuxian lowered his head and took a bite, saying, "I used to not have to pay for anything to eat at the pier. I could eat whatever I wanted, and then walk away. After a month, the stall owners would naturally go there. Ask Uncle Jiang to report the debt."
Lan Wangji left a small half-moon gap on the round pancake in his hand, and said quietly: "You don't have to pay now."
Wei Wuxian said: "Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
He finished eating in a few seconds, crumpled the oil paper into a pile, tossed it in his hand, looked around, and said: "There are no other stalls. In the past, no matter how late it was, this place was always crowded with stalls, selling all kinds of things." Food. Because there are a lot of people going out for late-night snacks in Lotus Pier. There are also a lot of boats, no worse than your Caiyi Town over there."
He added: "It's much less now. Lan Zhan, you came too late. You didn't catch up with the most fun and lively time here."
Lan Wangji said, "It's not too late."
Wei WuXian smiled and said, "When I was studying in Yunshen Ignorance, I asked you to come to Yunmeng several times to play, but you ignored me. I should have been more arrogant and dragged you here directly. Why do you eat so much? Slow? Not delicious?"
Lan Wangji said: "You can't speak after eating."
He always chews his food slowly, and if he must speak, he must make sure there is absolutely nothing in his mouth. Wei Wuxian said, "Then I won't talk to you anymore, so you can eat. I thought you didn't like it, so I wanted you to give me the rest."
Lan Wangji said to the stall owner: "Please have another one."
Finally, when Wei Wuxian finished the third cake, Lan Wangji was still slowly nibbling on his first one, and Wei Wuxian had already led him farther and farther away from Lotus Pier. Pointing out this and that to him everywhere on the road.
He especially wanted to show Lan Wangji the place where he grew up, played, and played around, tell him about the bad things he had done here, the fights he had fought, and the pheasants he had caught, and then observe Lan Wangji again. Watch the subtle changes in his expression and look forward to his every reaction.
Wei Wuxian said, "Lan Zhan! Look at me, look at this tree."
Lan Wangji also finished his portion of the cake, folded the oil paper into a neat little square, held it in his hand, and looked in the direction Wei Wuxian pointed. It was just an ordinary tree with a straight trunk and spreading branches and leaves. It must have been several decades old. Wei Wuxian walked under the tree, walked around it twice, patted the trunk, and said, "I climbed this tree."
Lan Wangji said, "You climbed every tree on the way here just now."
Wei WuXian said: "This one is different! This is the first tree I climbed after coming to Lotus Pier, and I climbed it in the middle of the night. My senior sister came out to look for me with a lantern, fearing that I would fall and catch me under the tree. But Her thin arms could not catch anything, so she still broke a leg."
Looking at his legs, Lan Wangji said, "Why are you climbing a tree in the middle of the night?"
Wei Wuxian bent down and smiled, "There's no reason. You know, I just like to hang out in the middle of the night. Haha."
