Jianghu Is Not Solitude - C54
The atmosphere suddenly became stifling, just like the hatred in Murong Minghao’s heart. Even though it was very heavy, he couldn’t find a way to vent it.
He coldly swept his gaze across everyone’s faces, causing their hearts to tremble. Then, he sneered: “What? Is no one going to buy it? ”
When Du Jiangsheng heard this, he immediately shouted, “The buyer has already been killed by you, but the seller is still standing!”
When he said that, Tian Lun’s expression changed. He felt as if someone had stuffed a handful of wheat grains into his back. The itch was simply unbearable!
“I came late, so I don’t know who the seller is. Little brother, can you help me identify him?” Mu Rong Ming Zhao asked Du Jiangsheng.
Du Jiangsheng pointed at Tian Lun without any hesitation and said angrily, “That’s the bastard! Not only did he want to sell your sister, but he also wanted to sell me and another boy.
These words not only angered the Murong brothers, but also made Tian Lun sweat profusely. He smiled bitterly and said, “This matter is not as simple as you say it is. Do you know that your words will cost your life?”
“How can you quibble over such a fact?” Du Jiangsheng coldly asked.
“What’s your name?” Murong Mingde coldly stared at Tian Lun’s face, the anger in his eyes almost melting him down!
Tian Lun laughed dryly and said, “I’m Tian Lun, the shopkeeper of the teahouse!”
When Murong Mingde heard this, he couldn’t help but smile regretfully and said: “What a pity! The teahouse is about to change hands! ”
“What do you mean?” Tian Lun’s pair of pearls had long been opened wide in fear and his body started to tremble uncontrollably.
“Isn’t that obvious? You will soon be dead! ” Murong Mingde held his long sword and walked slowly towards Tian Lun, “You dare to sell my sister? Do you still want to live?”
“No, don’t come over here!” Tian Lun was so scared that his face turned green. He instinctively looked at Fang Zhenyuan and said with a trembling voice: “Chief Escort Fang, say something!”
With just that one sentence, everyone’s attention turned towards Fang Zhenyuan. He smiled awkwardly and said, “Shopkeeper Tian, what do you want me to say? I am here to watch the show, not to fend off the calamity for you! ”
“You, you actually want to stay out of this?” Tian Lun’s eyes were filled with shock, suspicion, anger, and perhaps even regret!
“He has no chance to stay out of this!” Du Jiangsheng coldly smiled, “Because he was the one who started it!”
When these words were spoken, the crowd’s gazes became even stricter, especially the Murong brothers, who had deepened the hatred in Fang Zhenyuan’s eyes. The hatred that shot out from his eyes, other than blood, would be hard to dispel!
Fang Zhenyuan’s heartbeat sped up a lot, but this speed was still not as fast as the speed of his thoughts. He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead, then let out a long sigh and said, “Not bad! “I am the instigator, but I am not an unscrupulous and unscrupulous villain. My original intention was kind!”
Meng Chunlou could not help but smile as she heard this. She said, “Chief Escort Fang, if the seller also did it out of good intentions, then wouldn’t it be cruel for a cat to catch a mouse?”
Fang Zhenyuan forced a laugh and said, “Oh, little Meng, what you say is unfair! You can’t say the mountain is that high just because you see the tip of the iceberg, can you? After all, Fang Zhenyuan was a well-known figure in the martial arts world. How could he not fear the conscience of heaven when it came to doing things? How could I do something so repulsive? ”
“Then why did you bring us three from the Celestial Water Town to Yangzhou? Could it be that tonight, you two sold Murong Yan to the two dead people on the ground? ” Du Jiangsheng asked.
“Damn it!” Fang Zhenyuan was so anxious that he was spinning around in circles, his right hand clenched into a fist as he repeatedly knocked on his left hand, “This matter is not as simple as you think. There’s really a big secret behind this!”
“Then tell me what the truth is. If you don’t make it clear, then I don’t know any Chief Escort!” Murong Mingde sneered.
“Ever since I left Yangzhou, I wanted to return to my home in Ruzhou, but who would have known that when I passed by Immortal Water Town, I would run into Du Jiangsheng. At that time, he was in a coma, and I knew that he was Little Meng’s nephew, so even though I wanted to return home, I still had to save him on behalf of Little Meng, so I decided to send him to Yangzhou to prevent him from worrying. That was my original intention!”
“You’re talking nonsense!” Meng Chunlou frowned, “If you were really so kind, how could Master Peng, the Pingyang Swordsman, pull out his sword against you? He personally told me that you wanted to sell your child! ”
When Fang Zhenyuan heard this, he couldn’t help but be shocked and thought to himself: “Damn it, you are forcing me into a corner!” However, with your cultivation experience, you still won’t be able to trap me! ”
When he thought here, he smiled and said, “Speaking of Old Master Peng, this misunderstanding is even bigger!”
“Another misunderstanding?” Meng Chun Lou rolled her eyes at Fang Zhenyuan and laughed coldly.
“That’s right!” And it’s a huge misunderstanding! ” Fang Zhenyuan swept his gaze across the faces of the crowd, feeling that he had piqued everyone’s appetite, he said, “That night, when I was wandering around town, I saw a man in black sneaking around. He doesn’t seem to be a nice person, so I followed him and wanted to see what he would do. In the end, that guy actually killed the grandfather of this child on the ground, and he even wanted to kill him! ”
“There’s actually such a thing?” So what are you doing? Aren’t you going to go out and save them? ” Murong Mingde hurriedly said.
“That’s right!” Even though my internal injuries had not fully healed yet, I am still unable to witness this tragic event in this world. I shouted loudly and jumped out, scaring that bandit away. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace! ” As Fang Zhenyuan said this, he couldn’t help but let out a long sigh, “Ai! If it wasn’t for the wounds on my body, he wouldn’t have been able to fly to my palm even if he had wings! ”
“And then? What have you done with the child? Then why did Old Master Peng want to kill you? ” Murong Mingde asked with a flushed face.
Fang Zhenyuan let out a long sigh and said, “When I saw that child being so adorable and his loved ones dead, I wanted to take him in as my foster son and bring him back to the Ruzhou to be raised. Who knew that after returning to the Celestial Water Town, I would unintentionally say something that brought about a fatal disaster for myself!”
“What did you say?” Murong Mingde pressed.
“I said, if this kind of child falls into the hands of a trafficker, it would definitely sell for a good price, I was clearly praising that child’s looks, I didn’t expect that old man Peng would actually follow me to my place, he heard that I was going to sell that child to the trafficker, so he pulled out his sword against me without knowing the truth. If it wasn’t for the help of his friends from the Jianghu, I’m afraid that Fang Zhenyuan would have long been the enemy of that child!” Fang Zhenyuan sighed.
“You’re shameless! It’s not like that! ” Du Jiang was so angry that his face turned red. Although he knew Fang Zhenyuan was a bad guy, he couldn’t think of a reason. After all, he had been in a coma for too long, so he didn’t know what had happened.
When Murong Mingde heard this, he couldn’t help but glare at Du Jiangsheng and angrily said, “What does a kid like you know? Chief Escort Fang is saving people, don’t scold them! ”
“I am the victim. Why didn’t you listen to me?” Du Jiangsheng asked.
“I’ve already heard that there was a misunderstanding. Furthermore, you were unconscious at that time, so how do you know what happened?” Murong Mingde asked.
This simple question rendered Du Jiangsheng speechless. He could only glare at Fang Zhenyuan, secretly angered.
Murong Minghao was a very meticulous person, but when he heard Fang Zhenyuan’s explanation, he asked, “Chief Escort Fang, you said that Old Man Peng followed you to your place of residence. With your ability, how could you not have noticed?”
“Sigh!” At that time, I was anxious and anxious to save someone, so I wasn’t on guard against all of these! Furthermore, I have a clear conscience, so why would I be afraid of others tracking me? ” Fang Zhenyuan laughed.
“Then where did you rest?” Murong Minghao asked.
When he asked this, Meng Chunlou became nervous. He thought to himself, “If he lies, he won’t dare to tell me where he lives. I’ll hear his answer first.”
Fang Zhenyuan laughed bitterly before saying, “This place is a bit too shameful! However, since the Mu Rong family’s young master asked, I could only tell him the truth! I was staying in a deserted house in the Celestial Water Town! ”
When Murong Mingde heard this, he immediately sneered and said, “A dignified Chief Escort doesn’t live in an inn, and yet he lives in a deserted house with two kids. Even a fool would be able to guess that you’re doing something shameful!”
When Fang Zhenyuan heard this, his face turned red and he said with a bitter smile: “What the Second Young Master of the Murong Clan said makes sense. It’s just that I don’t live in an inn because I’m short on money and can’t afford to stay in an inn.
“It can’t be? Your Chief Escort has protected a dart all his life, how could he be in such a predicament? “Besides, you have been traveling in the martial arts world for many years. With your face, you only need to open your mouth, do you still fear that no one will lend you the silver?” Murong Mingde asked with a smile.
“I am ashamed! This time, I have been robbed of all my silver and silver bodyguards. How can I ask my friends in the martial arts world if I am in such a shameful situation? “If someone were to ask about it, wouldn’t Fang Zhenyuan lose a lot of face?” Fang Zhenyuan laughed bitterly.
“Hypocritical!” Du Jiangsheng cursed angrily, “Since you are unwilling to mention this matter, why did you mention it now?”
“If I don’t say this, how can I defend myself?” Fang Zhenyuan immediately retorted.
Murong Minghao thought for a moment, then asked: “Chief Escort Fang, when did you meet this little sister? And how did you get her to Yangzhou? ”
“I coincidentally met your sister after saving Du Jiangsheng. At that time, there were a lot of people riding horses here in the Celestial Water Town, and they were posting bounties saying that they wanted to find her. I didn’t think too much about it, but they said that they came to the town to find their enemy, and in the end, they met your sister who was already unconscious in a alley.”
“Nonsense!” He is my sister, and this painting was personally drawn by my third brother, how can it not be? ” Murong Mingde said with a smile.
“Second brother, don’t interrupt, please continue!” Murong Minghao said.
“At that time, my heart was in a mess. On one hand, I believed that she was Murong Yan, and on the other hand, I doubted her identity! After all, the Murong Villa was heavily guarded. Even if experts from the martial arts community wanted to come and go as they wished, it would not be easy, let alone a little girl like her. According to common sense, it was impossible for her to slip out of the manor! Besides, the Immortal Water Town is still a long way from the Murong Villa, so how could she possibly come to this place? ” Fang Zhenyuan said solemnly.
“So what the hell do you think?” Murong Mingde pressed.
“At that time, I was guessing that because she looked so similar to Murong Yan, she must have been hunted down by those people! The reason she avoided those people might be because she knew that she wasn’t Murong Yan! ” Fang Zhen said from afar.
“Bullshit!” She’s already in a coma, so even if she wanted to meet those people, she wouldn’t be able to! ” Murong Mingde shouted in anger.
“Chief Escort Fang, since you can’t confirm her identity, why didn’t you bring her to meet our people?” Murong Minghao asked.
Hearing this question, Meng Chenfu could not help but laugh secretly in his heart, “This question is really good. I believe Fang Zhenyuan will not be able to answer this question!”
Unexpectedly, Fang Zhenyuan let out a faint laugh and said: “To be honest, even though I had this intention before, I felt that it was too risky! What if those people weren’t from Murong Manor, but were sent by the Yin brothers? At that time, not only will I not be able to save her, I might even lose my life! ”
“Bastard!” How could someone from my Murong Villa be so easily disguised? ” Murong Mingde gnashed his teeth in anger, “You old brat, you’re clearly looking for an excuse!”
“Second Young Master, how can we not be cautious when we roam the martial arts world?” “If you really were that naive, I’m afraid that not only would I not be able to operate the Zhen Yuan Escort Office, I’m also afraid that my life would have already been taken by someone!” Fang Zhenyuan laughed coldly.
His words were reasonable, and no one could refute him. Thus, Murong Mingde muttered a few words, and he obediently shut his mouth.
“Chief Escort Fang, even if what you said makes sense, why didn’t you wake me up and ask for an explanation?” Murong Minghao asked.
“At that time, she was unconscious. I suspect that she was poisoned and I wanted to help her circulate her energy to heal her injuries, but I was unable to do so due to the injuries on her body. Furthermore, the abandoned house only has tiles to cover my body, and not a single drop of water is to be found. Even if I want to do something, it would be difficult for me to do it! ” Fang Zhen said from afar.
Murong Minghao pondered for a moment, feeling that what Fang Zhenyuan said was true, he asked, “Then why did you bring her to Yangzhou?”
“Of course it’s to personally come to the Murong Villa to confirm her identity! Otherwise, what would it be like if I brought her along? ” Fang Zhenyuan laughed bitterly.
“Bullshit!” “You’ve already started to sell my sister as though she’s a commodity, what is there to talk about in order to confirm your identity?” Murong Mingde shouted in anger.
Fang Zhenyuan let out a faint laugh and asked, “Second Young Master, was it not my credit that you guys were able to come here?”
“What is it? That person was sent by you? ” Murong Mingde asked coldly.
“That’s right!” It is my arrangements! ” Fang Zhenyuan laughed.
“Didn’t you say you would go in person? Why do you want others to do it for you? ” Murong Minghao asked.
“I have three children. I have to take care of them, don’t I? Furthermore, what if I go to the Murong Villa and you all refuse to admit that you’ve lost your little sister because of face? Then wouldn’t I have come here for nothing? Of course, this is still the best. If you all treat me as a scum that was kidnapped and extorted by others, wouldn’t I be unable to wash up even after jumping into the Yellow River? ” Fang Zhenyuan laughed bitterly.
“Old boy, you really have a lot of playthings in your stomach!” Murong Mingde sneered.
“Since you’ve already informed us, you should look favorably at my younger sister. Why do you dare to sell here?” Murong Minghao asked.
