Chapter 59 Treachery (143/449)

After a while, the crowd of people in the Eagle Tower returned to silence. Zheng Yushan, standing in front of him, raised his hand and clasped his fists:

"Zheng is not worthy of this sword, nor do he want it. He came here today for two things. One is the string of sword spikes obtained by the Cao family's previous dynasty, and the other is the nine heads in the Cao family's parents' room, which are indispensable."

"Wow—"

As soon as this was said, the people from the archway were immediately annoyed, and some cursed directly.

Ning Qingye looked angrily: "There are only nine males in the family of the Cao family, and the senior Cao. The Eagle Tower was indeed for killing people. I don't even want to hand over the sword spikes. I'm really bullying."

Xu Buling also frowned slightly. He thought that killing the Eagle Tower was just for a string of sword spikes, and it was too much to kill the parents' house. It would be a damn thing that the Cao family could agree.

Sure enough, when he heard this, the faces of the Cao family fell down. Cao Quyi still smiled, but he was a little lighter:

"President Zheng, although my Cao family has withdrawn from the world, the foundation of kung fu is still there, and it is impossible for someone to cut it down while standing. I hope you can stop it."

Zheng Yushan snorted lightly:

"It is because your Cao family has withdrawn from the world that I beat Yinglou and did not take the lives of your whole family, but the eldest son of the eldest son must die. Cao Quyi's son Cao Ying betrayed his friends and seeks honor, and defected to the court to become one of the chief officials of the Investigation Department. In the past ten years, you should know how many families were destroyed and how many gangs in Chu were broken back. The Cao family also knows it. There are injustice and debts, and I only let the Cao family pay back these life debts. If you don't know how to do it, I don't mind adding a few more lives to the Yinglou."

Cao Ying was given the national surname by the court, but many people still know about this.

Lin Yusong knew that the Cao family was in the wrong, so he spoke: "Senior Zheng, Cao Ying's actions alone have nothing to do with the Cao family in Junshan. Senior Cao Qujian has driven him out of the family and has also withdrawn from the world. He gave an explanation. You should go to trouble Cao Ying."

Zheng Yushan carried the sword and walked forward a few steps: "I indulged in the condolences and sheltered a ungrateful wolf, killing countless close friends who respected the reputation of the Cao family. Afterwards, I was expelled from the house. I wanted to eliminate the grudges of the past with just saying "Out of the world?"

Lin Yusong said in a deep voice: "Senior Cao has never covered Cao Ying, but he just couldn't clean up the portal and had already cut off his relationship with Cao Ying."

Many people from the world who came to help also spoke out for excuses the Cao family.

Ning Qingye couldn't stand at this time and walked to the nearby and spoke, "Everyone knows about the benevolent and righteous people, but an unfilial son was born. When I was in trouble, Senior Cao risked being questioned by the court to help. On the contrary, you beat Yinglou and do something unjust in the name of benevolence and righteousness. What kind of face do you have to slander the Cao family?"

Ning Qingye wore a hat to cover up his face, and stood in the crowd without any conspicuousness. He was just asking for help and saying justice.

But after seeing this, Chang Shijian took a little step forward and whispered something to Zheng Yushan.

Zheng Yushan looked at Ning Qingye for a few glances and smiled a little:

"Qingye girl, do you still remember me? Your mother Pei Yun took you to live in Peijia Village. I visited the master Peizhai and saw you once."

Hearing the name "Qingye", the archway came back and saw that the famous fairy Ning of Changqing Temple, who was also famous in Chu, also came to help. His morale suddenly rose. Lin Yusong, who was originally a little reluctant to retreat, quickly stood in front of him with his head held high and looked like he was swearing to live and die with the Cao family.

Ning Qingye didn't care about these gazes. When he saw that he was recognized, he responded in a cold voice:

"Senior Zheng is highly respected in Chu, so I naturally remember that the people in the martial arts world are clearly divided into grudges. The master of Cao's hometown helped me when the clerk was compromised. It was a world of difference from Cao Ying, who was with the scattered people. I hope that Senior Zheng can distinguish between black and white and not take revenge on the wrong person."

Zheng Yushan's long sword was stolen behind him: "Qingye, don't be blinded by the Cao family's little etiquette, do you know why your mother died?"

Ning Qingye's face darkened and he held the hilt of the sword: "My mother was killed by the wolf guards, I know clearly, but it has nothing to do with Senior Cao."

Zheng Yushan shook his head and looked at many tourists and Cao's family:

"You are all young, and you thought the Cao family was the Cao family who would rather betrayed back then, and they stood up for it with passion. I wonder what the Cao family did back then.

Take Qingye girl for example, her mother Pei Yun, you may not know her. The chivalrous girl from Chu was originally a lady from Peijiazhai. She went out to travel to the capital.

At that time, the late emperor was still there, and the limelight in the world was not that tight. However, Pei Yun was a girl who was moral and never did anything against her will. Later, she met a scholar and fell in love with each other..."

Ning Qingye's face was slightly dark, and there was a little resentment in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

Xu Buling leaned against the big tree and hugged his arms, making him feel a little confused. Just as he was listening carefully, his shoulder was patted, and Zhongli Jiujiu walked up to him silently, frowned and looked at him:

"This situation is not big, Mr. Xu can't deal with it?"

"The Lord has not arrived yet."

Xu Buling turned his head and looked at it. Zhongli Jiujiu was still dressed up with a fairy spirit, but there were a string of bottles and jars on his waist. He knew at a glance that it was not a good thing. Xu Buling couldn't help but stay away and asked:

"It's coming very quickly, how did you find me?"

Zhongli Jiujiu's true appearance was exposed, and she also covered it up at this time. She raised her hand and pointed to the little sparrow squatting on the branch and dozing:

"Sister, I am very capable. I don't have to do it myself if I have only one hundred people."

Xu Buling looked back and said, "Where are the others?"

"The Nightingale went to the yamen, and Manzhi was sent back, and the other guards were hiding nearby."

Xu Buling felt a little relieved and continued to look at the confrontation outside the archway.

Zheng Yushan talked about Pei Yun’s past when he bought paintings in Beijing to help scholars take the imperial examination, and continued:

"... Later, Pei Yun spent all the money he brought, and was preparing to take a job and earn money in Chang'an. At that time, Cao Ying, the eldest son of the Cao family, was also in Chang'an and had not yet surrendered to the court. He contacted a wave of people from the Jianghu and received a business to escort silver to Fenglingdu, and Pei Yun was also in it...

...It is said that it is a normal escort, but the amount of silver is huge, and there are many suspicions of escorts late at night. However, the reputation of the Cao family in Junshan is still there, with Cao Ying guaranteed it, and Pei Yun and many friends in the world have not questioned it...

...I realized later that it was the official silver. He was stolen from the warehouse by a high-ranking official in the capital, secretly recruiting good people from the world and raiding the house. After Cao Ying learned the news, he did not inform the friends in the capital, but reported to the court and personally escorted the official silver to the joint place. When the officers and soldiers surrounded him, they also attacked the rebel companions. Pei Yun was also injured at that time, and thus became a wanted criminal in the court. Cao Ying was called today and became a confidant..."

Ning Qingye frowned. She had not heard her parents talk about the past. This was the first time she heard it. She was silent for a moment before speaking:

"Cao Ying betrayed his faith and surrendered to the court. Everyone in the world knows that he was expelled from the family. This matter has nothing to do with Senior Cao..."

Zheng Yushan sighed: "If it were just an unfilial son, we would not cause trouble for the Cao family. But after the incident, Cao Qujian refused to give up his son's extraordinary talent and did not clean up the door. Instead, he contacted the matter with his years of prestige and forced himself to suppress the matter. Even the leader of Pei Village had received a letter, persuading your mother Pei Yun not to make a statement. Until the end, when Cao Qujian was not a man inside and outside, he drove him out of the house and retreated to the world...

... And you must be clear about what happened later. The court swept the world with thunder and knew the details of the major families in Chu. Countless people died because of this. The Cao family, the Junshan leader, stood by and watched. The Zhu family in Youzhou, who was a family friend of the Cao family. The old sword saint was framed by villains and died in battle. The whole family killed only males and was still the love that Eunuch Jia asked for. The Cao family still stood by and watched. Afterwards, they secretly sent you to Wudang Mountain. Just such a small favor can make you write off the blood feud in the past?"

Everyone was incredible after hearing this.

Ning Qingye frowned and looked at Cao Quyi next to him in a blink of an eye.

Cao Quyi's face was gloomy, and he did not admit it or deny it.

Cao Ying was unique in his talent and put all the burden of revitalizing the Cao family on Cao Ying. He did something wrong in the capital. It was reasonable for his father to want his prodigal son to turn back and cover up those things and keep his reputation. But in the end, Cao Ying did not turn back, and it was too late to clean up the door.

When the iron eagle was hunting for deer, everyone in the world was in danger. When they were against the court, the whole family had to die. The elder brother Cao Qujian didn't want to take the whole family to die, and he didn't want to fight against the world. He had no choice but to withdraw from the world and choose not to take action.

But these explanations are obviously meaningless. Breach of faith means betrayal. If the Cao family is in trouble, the old sword saint Zhu will definitely come to help him at all costs. In the Zhu family, the Cao family has to stand by and watch to save their family. It may be understandable that the revenge is indeed settled.
