Chapter 2680 Where is the evidence?
At this moment, a cold voice came from outside the crowd, saying: "Stop it."
Upon hearing this familiar, cold voice, the Jinyiwei who were rushing in the front stopped. Everyone turned around in astonishment and saw the familiar figure standing outside the crowd.
Li is not hurt!
It was Li Bushang, who everyone thought had died in the fire!
He stood not far away with his hands behind his back. Although the firelight made his face and eyes red, his face and eyes were filled with coldness that even the blazing fire could not warm.
As soon as they saw him, they were overjoyed and rushed over, surrounding him in the center.
"My lord! My lord, are you okay?"
"I'm so glad you're okay, sir!"
"Sir, we were all worried that something had happened to you!"
Tian Ye and the others surrounded him and talked incessantly, but Li Bushang showed no sign of being relieved for escaping death. In fact, there was not even a single extra expression on his face. He was still as cold and indifferent as usual.
Those wolf-like eyes were calmer than usual.
Just said lightly: "It's okay."
After saying that, he raised his eyes and looked at the group of people from Bailong City.
They originally thought that he had died in the fire, but when they suddenly saw him appear like this, Murong Qiu Ming and the others were also shocked.
He is not dead?
He is not dead?
Several people were so shocked that they were speechless. When Song Zhiwen saw him, his expression was very complicated, and the hand that was originally holding Xie Jiaojiao loosened.
Xie Jiaojiao immediately broke free from their obstruction and rushed to Li Bushang.
However, when she was still a few steps away from him, she stopped again, her big eyes even showing a little tears, staring straight at Li Bushang.
"Li Bu Shang, you didn't—"
She wanted to say "You are not dead", but she didn't dare to say the word and swallowed it back.
He just laughed again and said, "That's great, you're okay, that's really great."
“…”
Li Bushang glanced at her.
He didn't pour a basin of cold water on her as usual, nor did he give any response. He just glanced at her and turned his gaze to the front. Murong Qiu Ming and the others finally came to their senses at this time.
They looked at each other, and although their expressions were a little complicated, they still walked over immediately.
"Master Li, are you okay?"
"We thought something happened to you too."
"Since everyone is safe and sound, that's great."
Li Bushang looked at them and said, "Thank you for your concern. I'm fine."
“…”
"But maybe the fact that I'm fine may not be what everyone wants to see."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of several people changed again.
The Cheng family members had originally thought he had perished in the flames because of the burning tent, and were stunned. But upon hearing him say this, they were filled with righteous indignation and immediately shouted, "That's right, he killed someone, so he should pay with his life!"
"Shouldn't he die?!"
"Even if God doesn't take him away, we can't let him go so easily!"
The two groups had already been fighting at the camp gate for a while, and some of them were even covered in blood and wounds. Seeing this, the Jinyiwei were unwilling to give in and immediately raised their weapons: "What do you want? We are here, so you can't do anything!"
It seemed that the two sides were about to fight each other again.
At this moment, Li Bushang said calmly, "Stop it."
With just three words, the Jinyiwei naturally listened to him and watched as the swords that had been raised high suddenly stopped in mid-air. When the guards of the Cheng family saw that the other party had stopped, and saw Li Bushang standing there as steady as a rock, they did not dare to act rashly for a while.
People on both sides gripped their swords tightly.
At this time, Song Zhiwen took a step forward.
Although he was a little dizzy and anxious because of the fighting between the two sides and the sudden fire in the tent, when he saw Li Bushang appear and saw his expression, he immediately seemed to have a vague sense of something.
Suddenly calmed down.
He walked to Xie Jiaojiao's side, looked at Li Bushang and said, "Looking at Lord Li, he not only escaped death, but also seemed to be planning to give an explanation for the murder of the Cheng family's patriarch."
Tian Ye and the others immediately said, "Why should we give you an explanation? We didn't kill him!"
"How dare you say that?!"
Murong Qiuming immediately rushed forward and said, "The murder weapon is clearly the sword of your Jinyiwei!"
Li Bushang said calmly, "That knife did belong to the Jinyiwei, and it might have been the murder weapon. But I've said it before, the knife is dead, but the person is alive. Whoever used that knife is the real murderer."
Song Zhiwen's eyes flickered: "So, you know who the murderer is?"
Li Bushang said: "Right now, I don't know."
Upon hearing this, someone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Murong Qiuming immediately said, "Then what else do you have to say?"
Li Bushan looked up at him and said calmly, "However, just now a fire suddenly broke out and burned down the tent I was in. If I hadn't escaped, wouldn't it have been a murder?"
“…”
"Why don't you all care about the truth of this matter?"
“…”
"Both incidents occurred in your White Dragon City camp. Perhaps the truth behind them is related to each other."
Song Zhiwen frowned: "What are you talking about?"
Li Bu Shang said, "I'm saying that someone set a fire and wanted to burn me to death."
“…”
"If you burn me to death, then there's no need to investigate the Cheng family patriarch's murder any further, because a dead person can't defend himself. At that point, I'll be the one bearing the stigma of the murderer, while the real murderer can go unpunished and continue doing whatever he wants."
Song Zhiwen felt a tightness in his heart when he heard this.
He said in a deep voice: "Master Li, you need evidence to say this."
“…”
"We need at least one witness or physical evidence."
“…”
"Otherwise, your claim that someone was trying to murder you is even less believable than the Cheng family's patriarch being murdered."
Li Bushang said calmly: "Since I said it, I naturally have evidence in hand."
When Song Zhiwen heard this, his eyes widened immediately: "Where is the evidence?"
“…”
"Is it human evidence or physical evidence?"
Li Bushang said, "We have both witnesses and evidence. Don't worry, we can deal with them one by one."
After saying that, he raised his hands and clapped them lightly twice.
Immediately, everyone saw behind him, several Jinyiwei walked out from the deep night where the firelight could not reach. When Tian Ye took a closer look, he found that they were the Jinyiwei who had been assigned to protect Li Bushang's tent tonight!
His eyes widened. “You didn’t—”
But before he could finish his words, he saw that the Jinyiwei were still holding a few people in their hands.
As soon as he saw those people, Song Zhiwen's face immediately darkened.
