After saying that, Elder Xu turned his gaze and looked directly at Qiao Feng, his eyes filled with a cold and sharp look.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Feng was so flustered that he didn't know what to say.
At this moment, Kang Min's voice rang out:
"Dear uncles and elders!"
"My late husband has passed away, and it is difficult to say for sure who committed this heinous act at this time."
"But my late husband was honest, steady and reliable, and not good with words."
"He has no enemies in the martial arts world, and I really can't understand why anyone would want to take his life?"
At this point, Kang Min paused slightly, then turned her gaze to Qiao Feng and said:
As the saying goes, "Carelessness invites theft!"
"Is it because my late husband possessed something important, and someone was afraid he would leak secrets and ruin everything, so they wanted to kill him to silence him?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Feng's expression darkened, and he slowly turned his head to meet Kang Min's gaze.
Only at this moment did he understand.
Why did Kang Min treat him with disdain when he greeted her and spoke to her earlier?
It turns out that Kang Min actually mistook him for the real culprit who murdered Ma Dayuan!
"Sister-in-law! You...you suspect that I killed Brother Ma?"
Kang Min did not answer Qiao Feng's question. Instead, she glanced at everyone present and said:
"The day before my late husband was murdered."
“A thief once broke into our house and ransacked it, presumably in search of that letter.”
"Fortunately, my late husband hid it very well, which prevented the thief from succeeding."
"And when the thief left, perhaps in such a hurry, he left something behind in my house."
Upon hearing Kang Min's words, everyone present was taken aback.
The fact that Qiao Feng was a Khitan is already incredibly shocking.
According to Kang Min and Elder Xu, Qiao Feng was actually the real culprit who killed Ma Dayuan.
This left the Beggars' Sect disciples in disbelief.
After all, in their eyes, Qiao Feng was a man of great righteousness and chivalry.
How could such an upright and honest man do such a despicable thing?
"Madam Ma, what is this thing you've left behind?"
Bai Shijing squinted at Kang Min and asked this question.
Kang Min turned her gaze toward Elder Xu.
Then, Elder Xu sighed helplessly and took out another item from the burlap bundle.
This is a folding fan!
The fan is painted with a picture of a brave warrior going beyond the Great Wall to fight the enemy.
In addition, there is a poem in the book:
"The north wind blows through Yanmen Pass, and the sandy plains are in disarray, with tumbleweed roots swirling around. I am ashamed to count the number of lives I have captured; I will go straight to Loulan to repay the country's kindness."
"this?"
Upon seeing this, Qiao Feng was utterly shocked.
He was very familiar with this folding fan; what else could it be but his own?
The painting on the fan was drawn by Elder Xu, and the poem was written by his mentor, Wang Jiantong.
On his twenty-fifth birthday, his mentor Wang Jiantong presented him with this folding fan.
Qiao Feng had always cherished this fan and kept it carefully.
What puzzled him was how the fan ended up in Ma Dayuan's house.
And what a coincidence, it happened the day before Ma Dayuan was killed?
Just as Qiao Feng was lost in thought, Elder Xu looked at him and asked in a deep voice:
"Qiao Feng, is this folding fan yours?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Feng regained his composure and nodded, saying:
"The folding fan is mine, that's true, but someone stole it and is deliberately framing me!"
Upon hearing what Qiao Feng said, Quan Guanqing stepped forward and coldly said:
"Qiao Feng, are you still trying to deny it?"
"Let me ask you, are you a Khitan or not?"
"Are those letters and edicts genuine?"
"Is that folding fan left at Deputy Chief Ma's house yours?"
Faced with Quan Guanqing's relentless questioning, Qiao Feng was left speechless.
Although he did not kill Ma Dayuan, all indications suggest that he is suspected of murdering Ma Dayuan, and the suspicion is not small!
Seeing that Qiao Feng did not respond, Quan Guanqing gave a cold smile and said again:
"Everyone saw it!"
"This Qiao Feng was originally a Khitan, and he is very likely the mastermind behind the death of Deputy Chief Ma."
"How can we be led by such a person?"
"We are all heroes who are loyal to our country. Are we willing to be slaves and lackeys of foreign tribes?"
Following Quan Guanqing's words, the members of the Beggars' Clan were all filled with righteous indignation.
There was no longer any respect in his eyes when he looked at Qiao Feng; instead, his eyes were filled with hatred for evil!
Upon hearing this, Qiao Feng's mind raced with thoughts, and he retorted:
"You...you are just jealous and have fabricated all sorts of lies to frame me."
Upon hearing this, Quan Guanqing burst into laughter:
"Ha ha!"
"Fabricating lies?"
"Aren't the facts right in front of us? Aren't the evidence we just presented enough?"
"Qiao Feng!! What else do you have to say, you Khitan dog?"
Qiao Feng was stunned, his heart burning with rage, and he felt like slapping Quan Guanqing to death.
However, the problem is that if we were to take action against Quan Guanqing at this time, wouldn't things become even more complicated?
Just as Qiao Feng was at a loss, a clapping sound suddenly came from the side.
"Clap clap clap..."
"That was absolutely brilliant!"
"I must say, the show you directed and acted in was really quite good!"
Wang Yang clapped his hands as he stepped forward and spoke.
"Um?"
Upon hearing Wang Yang's words, Kang Min, Quan Guanqing, Elder Xu, and the others were taken aback, and a barely perceptible hint of panic flashed in their eyes.
"Boy, who are you?"
"How dare you, a mere child, interfere in the affairs of my Beggars' Sect?"
After a moment, Elder Xu questioned Wang Yang, looking at him with an unfriendly expression.
Wang Yang ignored Elder Xu and chose to disregard him.
Then, he looked at Qiao Feng.
"Vice Chief Qiao, you really don't need to be so sentimental!"
"So what if you are a Khitan?"
"You lived in the Song Dynasty and always acted as a chivalrous hero."
"Previously, when the Song Dynasty was invaded by the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, many martial arts sects within the Song Dynasty did not go to support the fight against the enemy!"
"Instead, they started killing each other!"
"You are so much better than these people."
After hearing Wang Yang's words, Qiao Feng was taken aback, but his sorrow lessened considerably.
At the same time, Quan Guanqing spoke up:
"Wang Yang!!"
"This is an internal matter of my Beggars' Sect, please do not interfere!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yang chuckled, gave Quan Guanqing a cold glance, and replied:
"You think I'll just stay out of it because you tell me not to?"
"I'm in charge of all the injustices in the world!"
Quan Guanqing was taken aback, intimidated by Wang Yang's imposing presence.
Wang Yang has recently become very famous.
In particular, many members of the Beggars' Sect witnessed him easily killing masters such as the Iron-Blooded Marquis, Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami, and Zuo Lengchan from the Ming Dynasty.
They held Wang Yang in high esteem, even regarding him as a great hero.
Quan Guanqing knew that Wang Yang was highly skilled in martial arts, so he dared not use force and could only stop him verbally.
Even so, they were still stunned by Wang Yang's words!
