Chapter 2684 In addition to the two of them, there is another
Song Zhiwen still seemed unable to believe it. He looked at the two of them, then at Xie Jiaojiao who had been standing aside in silence.
Then he said to Li Bushang, "You just said that it wasn't just one person who lied, but two, or even three. So, besides these two, who is the other one?"
“…”
Li Bushang did not answer immediately.
His gaze seemed to fall on Xie Jiaojiao intentionally or unintentionally, but he only glanced at her for a moment before turning to look at Murong Qiuming and Xue Huai'en and saying, "You two, this question is best answered by you two."
Murong Qiuming gritted his teeth and glared at him angrily.
Li Bushang looked at him calmly. Seeing that he didn't speak, he turned to Xue Huai'en: "Master Xue, what do you say?"
Xue Huai'en also said nothing.
Song Zhiwen's heartbeat tightened, and he said in a deep voice, "Who is it?"
There was actually a barely perceptible tremor in his voice, and anyone close to him could feel the shock of this possible "truth" on him.
This blow is really too great.
Regardless of whether everyone agrees to surrender the city or not, or even what their ideas are, they all live in Bailong City. The deceased head of the Cheng family, Cheng Ye, is indeed their elder and even watched them grow up.
He couldn't imagine that the people who killed Cheng Ye would be the ones he spent every day with.
This was even more difficult for him to accept than the murder.
Song Zhiwen clenched his fists, veins bulging on the backs of his pale hands. He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Who is it?!"
This time, the guards of the Cheng family also started making a fuss.
They were also stunned by this possible "truth", but after seeing this, they came to their senses and shouted to hand over all the murderers.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at them with a pale face.
At this moment, Li Bushang said, "It seems that you are unwilling to confess yourselves."
“…”
"Well, let me tell you."
As he spoke, he took a few steps forward and walked in front of Murong Qiuming. At this moment, Murong Qiuming, who was always aggressive towards them, lowered his head for the first time when facing him and avoided his wolf-like eyes.
But Li Bushang kept staring at him.
That feeling of oppression is suffocating.
He said, "If my guess just now is correct, that is, Master Xue killed the Cheng family's Patriarch, then after that, the Cheng family's Patriarch should be just a corpse, unable to do anything."
“…”
"But does anyone still remember what Master Murong said, why he went to see him?"
When everyone heard this, they all frowned.
Song Zhiwen also frowned and tried hard to recall, but his mind was in a mess and he couldn't remember anything.
Li Bushang said calmly, "I guess you all can't remember it, so let me remind you."
“…”
"What he said was that the Patriarch of the Cheng family sent someone to find him and said he wanted to see him, so he went to the Patriarch of the Cheng family's tent."
Upon hearing this, Murong Qiuming immediately said, "That's right, so Li Bushang, all your previous guesses were wrong. You were simply talking nonsense."
Li Bu Shang looked at him coldly and said, "Whether you are talking nonsense or not, I am waiting for you to produce evidence."
"What?"
"Who is that person?"
“…”
Murong Qiuming was about to point at him and curse, but at this moment, his throat choked again. Li Bushang took a step forward, almost standing in front of him, staring into his eyes, and said, "If what you said is correct, after Master Xue and before you that night, there was also this person who delivered the message who should at least meet the head of the Cheng family. Then, Master Murong, please find this person and have him testify for you."
“…”
"Who is he?"
“…”
"If he can come out and testify, he can naturally prove that before Mr. Murong met the Cheng family's Patriarch, the Cheng family's Patriarch was still alive. This also proves that what I just said was nonsense."
“…”
"Please find this person."
Murong Qiuming's eyes were confused.
Seeing that Li Bushan had pressed the issue so far, the Cheng family guards around them all said to Murong Qiuming in a menacing tone, "Master Murong, since you said there's such a person, then quickly find him. Who is he?"
"Who asked you to go see our master?"
"Who is this person who can prove that what you said is true?"
Murong Qiuming couldn't utter a word.
Even though the light was dim, with so many people around holding torches, the flames could clearly illuminate him. His forehead was already covered in cold sweat.
Li Bushang looked at him coldly.
After an unknown amount of time, he slowly said, "Surprisingly, there isn't such a person?"
“…”
"It seems that I overestimated you."
“…”
"If I were to set up such a scheme, I would be careful about every word I said and every person I mentioned. I would make sure it was flawless and no one could find any flaws."
“…”
"It's a shame. You made your words so clear, yet you didn't even prepare or bribe such an important witness in advance."
“…”
"How can you bring me down like this?"
Murong Qiu Ming didn't expect that he had always been the aggressive one in the past. Li Bushang, the commander of the Jinyiwei with a pair of wolf-like eyes, had always been silent and taciturn. Unexpectedly, when he spoke, his words were as sharp as a sword.
At this time, each word was sharper than a knife, stabbing at them.
Murong Qiuming gritted his teeth and said, "That night was so bad, and that person was just talking outside my tent. How would I know who it was?"
"have no idea?"
Li Bushang said calmly, "Well, why not ask the crowd who spread the message that night?"
“…”
"Mr. Murong doesn't remember, but that person should remember it himself."
After saying that, he turned to look at the crowd that was already packed around him.
The Cheng family's guards looked at each other, and someone kept shouting, "Who is it? Come out quickly!"
"Come out and testify!"
"Who on earth was it that went to spread the word that night?"
…
I shouted for a long time, but no one responded.
Li Bushang turned to look at Murong Qiuming again, only to see Xue Huai'en sneer and say, "Brother Murong mentioned this matter that night. Perhaps you Jinyiwei have already killed this man in order to frame him."
“…”
"There are so many people here, no one would notice if one or two were missing."
At this time, Tian Ye and the others were also angry, pointing at the two and saying, "You are just making trouble!"
Li Bushang raised his hand to stop him.
He raised his eyes, looked at Murong Qiuming and Xue Huai'en coldly, and said, "To be honest, there is indeed one person missing here, and no one noticed."
