The next day.
A shocking piece of news quickly spread throughout the entire Chixiao Academy.
"Have you heard? Elder Chu Yun from the Medicine Hall has revealed to the Discipline Hall that Ling Fenggu and others poisoned Lu Lan! He also said that Wu Tianming was the mastermind behind it!"
"How is that possible? How could Senior Brother Ling and Senior Brother Wu be that kind of people?"
"I don't know if it's true or not, but I heard that Senior Brother Wu is already at the Discipline Hall... Whether it's true or not, the results will be out soon."
"What are you waiting for? Let's go to the Discipline Hall!"
When the news spread very quickly in the academy, in the Discipline Hall.
Lu Lan and Wu Tianming stood on the left and right sides of the center of the Discipline Hall respectively.
Ling Feng and Gu knelt in front of them.
The three elders of the Discipline Hall sat directly opposite them, responsible for determining the truth of this incident.
Just when one of the elders was about to begin interrogating Ling Feng, Gu and the other two, Peng Gu suddenly rushed in from outside the Discipline Hall.
When he saw Ling Fenggu kneeling on the ground, he rushed over anxiously, but was stopped by the guards nearby.
"Elder Lu! My disciple is innocent! He would never poison someone to death!"
He pointed at Lu Lan and roared, "He is definitely framing my disciple! You should throw him in the dungeon!"
Hearing this, Lu Lan sneered:
"Old man, you slandered others in front of the three discipline elders. Do you also want to go to the dungeon with your apprentice?"
Peng Gu stared at Lu Lan with murderous eyes: "This matter has absolutely nothing to do with my disciple! He couldn't possibly poison someone!"
"Heh, I didn't expect that an old fellow like you would actually trust your apprentice so much... Unfortunately, your apprentice ultimately disappointed you."
Lu Lan turned to look at Wu Tianming and sneered:
"Your good disciple has now become someone else's lackey. He is no longer the Ling Fenggu you used to know."
Hearing this, Wu Tianming, who had been silent from the beginning, raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Lan, and said coldly:
"I said, I have nothing to do with them, and I have no idea what they are going to do."
Wu Tianming was not worried at all that he would be exposed.
Because he knew very well that with the power of the Wu family behind him, if Ling Feng and Gu dared to reveal the relationship between them, the three of them would immediately suffer a catastrophic disaster!
So he didn't think that Ling Feng and Gu had the courage to accuse him of being the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Don't be so hasty to distance yourself from the matter. We'll soon find out if it's you."
Lu Lan chuckled, turned to look at Elder Lu, and bowed: "Now Elder Lu can ask questions to these three people."
Elder Lu nodded and asked directly:
"Ling Feng Gu, is it true that the three of you poisoned Lu Lan to death? You must tell the truth and not lie!"
Ling Feng and Gu hesitated for a moment, then said in unison, "Yes."
"What! How is this possible?!"
Hearing Ling Fenggu's admission, Peng Gu felt as if the world was spinning before his eyes and he almost fell to the ground.
He simply couldn't believe that his proudest disciple would actually do such a thing!
Elder Lu's expression also turned gloomy.
Because Lin Zhu is his apprentice!
Soon, Elder Lu suppressed his emotions and asked again, "Did someone instruct you to poison Lu Lan? If so, was it Wu Tianming behind you?"
Now, Lin Zhu and Lu Youquan didn't dare to say a word and turned to look at Ling Fenggu.
Ling Fenggu began to tremble all over.
He could feel two murderous gazes falling on him from behind, causing him to break out in a cold sweat and tremble all over.
His lips trembled for a long time, and he suddenly remembered the torture Lu Lan inflicted on him last night.
Finally, he hardened his heart and said through gritted teeth:
"Yes! It's Wu Tianming!"
"He was the one who ordered us to poison Lu Lan!"
When Wu Tianming heard Ling Fenggu's accusation in court, his face turned ashen in an instant.
If this wasn't the Discipline Hall, Wu Tianming would have killed Ling Fenggu on the spot!
He suppressed the anger in his heart, his voice was extremely cold:
"Ling Feng Gu! Do you know what you are saying?"
"You'd better tell the truth instead of making false accusations against me."
"Otherwise, I will make you live a life worse than death!"
"Are you threatening him?"
Lu Lan sneered, "It seems that you are the mastermind behind this."
"Shut up!"
Wu Tianming stared at Lu Lan intently: "What on earth did you do! How could you let them frame me like this!"
"Whether it's a false accusation or not, you know it yourself."
Lu Lan sneered, turned to look at Elder Lu, and said:
"Elder Lu, can we make the judgment now?"
Elder Lu frowned, feeling a little conflicted.
Poisoning and killing someone is something that will definitely result in permanent imprisonment in the dungeon.
Ling Feng and Gu were fine as they didn't have any background, so he didn't have to worry too much.
It's not like he only has Lin Zhu as his disciple, so he can just abandon him.
Only Wu Tianming...
He is the young master of the Wu family!
How to deal with him is the most troublesome problem.
After a long time, the three disciplinary elders jointly issued the final ultimatum.
Ling Feng and Gu were stripped of their status as academy disciples and imprisoned in the dungeon forever.
Although Wu Tianming was the mastermind, he was not directly involved in the incident from beginning to end, so he was only imprisoned in the dungeon for seven days as a punishment.
Due to the Wu family's influence, this was the best way they could think of.
Even so, Wu Tianming's face was as black as coal.
He knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion and he couldn't escape it.
He stared at Lu Lan intently and said in a cold voice:
"Lu Lan... I'll remember you. When I get out, you'll be dead for sure!"
"Heh," Lu Lan sneered, "I'll wait."
Soon, Wu Tianming, Ling Feng and Gu were all taken away.
Elder Lu glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice:
"The verdict of this incident will be announced to the entire academy, but all disciples are strictly prohibited from spreading it outside the academy."
"If you violate this rule, you will be punished with 300 strokes of the cane and confinement for a month!"
Once this matter spreads throughout Baitao City, it will surely bring shame to the Wu family.
Once the Wu family gets angry, even their Chixiao Academy will have to retreat.
Seeing Ling Fenggu being taken away, Peng Gu glanced at Lu Lan's back with a vicious look and walked out with heavy steps.
The news that Wu Tianming was in the dungeon spread quickly to every corner of Chixiao Academy like a prairie fire.
Although the entire academy was discussing this matter, no one dared to spread the news due to the order from the Discipline Hall.
However, they all knew that this news could not be hidden from the Wu family.
Once the Wu family learns about this, they will be extremely furious!
By then, Lu Lan will definitely not live long!
