The night was silent.
The next day, just as dawn broke, Tang Shan carried the unconscious Ah Xiang to the martial arts practice field. He casually threw Ah Xiang to the side of the field and then rang the morning bell again.
The disciples of the Jingwu Sect had the habit of listening to the bell and performing martial arts. When they heard the morning bell ring, they arrived one after another. When the disciples saw the gloomy Tang Shan and the miserable Ah Xiang, none of them dared to speak and just stood there quietly.
After a while, all the disciples had arrived, but Tang Shan still had a gloomy expression and did not speak.
After about an hour, the sky was bright. Two people walked in from outside the door. The person in the lead was Chen Zhen, and the bespectacled man behind him was Shen Bao's Chief Editor Wei.
Seeing the two of them arrive, Tang Shan finally straightened his expression. He first greeted Chief Editor Wei and turned to the crowd."Junior Brothers, I told everyone last night that the truth of Master's death will be revealed this morning. So, no matter what everyone hears or sees later, don't be too angry.”
Tang Shan turned to Chang and said,""Chang, go get a bucket of water and wake Xiang up.”
"Ah Zhen, go get Uncle Gen," he said to Seventh Junior Sister.”
"Yes, Eldest Senior Brother."
After Ah Chang and Ah Zhen left, Nong Jinsun finally couldn't hold back his emotions and asked,""Ah Shan, the traitor you mentioned, could it be Ah Xiang?”
"It's this heartless thing," Tang Shan said coldly.”
Nong Jinsun took a deep puff of his cigarette and frowned.""That's impossible. Although Ah Xiang is usually a little sly, he wouldn't do such a treasonous thing, right?”
"That's right, Eldest Senior Brother, where would Ah Xiang have the guts to do that?”
"Yeah, Ah Xiang is usually the most afraid of trouble.”
As soon as Nong Jinsun opened his mouth, a few disciples who were usually close to Ah Xiang spoke up for him.
Tang Shan didn't care about these doubts and said coldly,""You can't judge a person by his appearance. It seems that everyone has been deceived by this dog's disguise.”"Last night, I deliberately told everyone that I already knew who the real murderer was and threatened to catch him in public this morning." Actually, I wasn't sure at that time. The reason why I said that was a plan, a plan to lure the snake out of its hole. If the real murderer was present at the time, he would definitely be very flustered after listening to my words and would try to erase the traces of his crime. At first, I suspected that Uncle Gen was the one who poisoned Master, so I secretly paid attention to his actions. Unexpectedly, not long after everyone went to bed, that dog Ah Xiang came and told the truth. It turned out that he and Uncle Gen poisoned Master. He was afraid that Uncle Gen would expose him, so he wanted to kill him to silence him. He didn't expect to be caught red-handed by me.”
Hearing Tang Shan's words, everyone was shocked and felt a chill.
At this moment, Chang came over with water.
Tang Shan said directly,"Wake this dog up."”
"Oh!" Ah Chang responded and then poured the water on Ah Xiang.
Stimulated by the cold water, the unconscious Ah Xiang gradually regained consciousness.
At the same time, Seventh Junior Sister Ah Zhen also ran out with a terrified expression." Eldest…Eldest Senior Brother…Not good…Gen…Uncle Gen hanged himself…"
Apparently, after the truth was revealed, Uncle Gen could no longer face the public and chose to commit suicide.
Hearing this news, everyone's hearts shook again. Tang Shan closed his eyes and sighed.
"Ah!"
As soon as Ah Xiang woke up, he was greeted by the sharp pain of broken bones in his limbs. He really couldn't bear it, so he screamed at the top of his lungs.
Tang Shan didn't show any mercy. Instead, he stared coldly."Dog, if you know what's good for you, then quickly tell me honestly about how you poisoned Master.”
Ah Xiang was a spineless person. After hearing Tang Shan's words, he immediately said," Alright…I…I'll tell you…I'll explain everything clearly…I only hope that Eldest Senior Brother can give me a quick death…" He took a deep breath and continued,""Not long ago…I lost a lot of money at the casino…I really couldn't pay it back…The casino wanted to cut off one of my hands…At this time, a Japanese man suddenly appeared…Not only did he pay off my gambling debt…He also promised me…as long as I drugged my master…he would give me a large sum of money…and let me go far away…"
After hearing Ah Xiang's confession, everyone except Tang Shan immediately fell into a state of righteous indignation.
"What is it? It was really this dog that killed Master!”
"This traitor actually harbored evil intentions for so long. To think that I usually trusted him so much.”
"This kind of person really deserves to die. Eldest Senior Brother, I suggest that he be executed by a thousand cuts.”
"That's right, kill him!"
As soon as this voice was heard, everyone's voices gradually became unified.
"Kill him!"
"Kill him!"
"Kill him!"
Tang Shan raised his hand to signal, and everyone gradually quieted down.
Then, he turned to Chief Editor Wei and said,"Chief Editor Wei, this is the big news I want to give you. I hope that your company can report the truth about my master being poisoned by the Japanese.”
Chief Editor Wei was a smart person. He naturally understood the difficulties Tang Shan was referring to. He was afraid that the Japanese would find trouble with them after this report was published.
However, due to Tang Shan's strong character, Chief Editor Wei thought for a moment and said firmly,""Master Tang, to be honest, it would be a lie to say that there are no difficulties. However, we 'newspaper people' are the mouthpieces of society. We will never stop reporting the truth because of a small difficulty.”
"Well said!" Tang Shan nodded and praised." Chief Editor Wei, I, Tang Shan, will definitely befriend you. In the future, if you have any problems, you can come to Jingwu Sect to look for me."”
After hearing Tang Shan's words, Chief Editor Wei immediately felt that he had taken a big advantage and quickly said,""Definitely!"
Although Chief Editor Wei was a writer, he more or less knew some of the rules of martial artists. People who practiced martial arts emphasized loyalty and integrity. Their words must be kept and their actions must be resolute. Moreover, Tang Shan was the most popular person among martial artists. The value of getting him to make a promise was undoubtedly immeasurable.
After the two of them exchanged some pleasantries, Chief Editor Wei knew that the Jingwu Sect was going to deal with the traitor. He was not interested in this bloody scene, so he found an excuse to leave. Considering Chen Zhen and Yamada Mitsuko's situation, Tang Shan was afraid that he would feel awkward if he stayed, so he asked him to send Chief Editor Wei off. Chen Zhen naturally had no objections to this.
After the two of them left, Tang Shan looked back at Ah Xiang, who was howling in pain, and turned to Huo Ting 'en.""Tingen, the hatred of killing my father is irreconcilable. I'll leave the murderer to you.”
Huo Ting 'en was stunned at first, then he walked toward Ah Xiang with hatred in his eyes.
Ah Xiang wailed miserably as he begged," Second Senior Brother…I deserve to die…Please give me a quick death…"
Huo Ting 'en had never killed anyone before. Although he hated Ah Xiang, when he saw Ah Xiang's miserable state, he couldn't bear to see him die.
In fact, let alone Huo Ting 'en, even Tang Shan and the rest of the members of the Elite Martial Sect had never killed anyone. Tang Shan had asked Huo Ting 'en to do it because he wanted Huo Ting' en to avenge his father's death, but he also couldn't bring himself to do it.
Killing was a form of disregard for life, and also an invisible moral shackle. No matter which era or world, it bound everyone. Once someone broke this shackle, he would find a reason for himself. Some would kill for justice, some would kill for hatred, and some would kill for the sake of the world…In short, no matter what the reason for killing was, the murderer would find a reason for himself. Only in this way could he comfort himself after killing.
Tang Shan understood these principles. He knew that he wouldn't be able to pass this test, so when he saw Huo Ting 'en's hesitation, he expressed his understanding. However, understanding was one thing, but Ah Xiang, the traitor, would still die in the end, and he must die.
Tang Shan made up his mind. He grabbed Huo Ting 'en's hand and brought it to Ah Xiang's neck. He squeezed it hard, and with a crack, Ah Xiang's neck tilted to the side, and he was no longer breathing.
"I, I killed someone!" Looking at Ah Xiang's death, Huo Ting 'en was stunned, even though he had only killed him indirectly.
As for Tang Shan, he more or less felt something in his heart. That strange feeling was really indescribable. However, on the surface, he still had a calm expression because he was now the sect leader of the Essence Martial Sect. He had to shoulder certain things.
Therefore, Tang Shan had no choice but to endure the strange feeling and comfort Huo Ting 'en.""Ting 'en, you don't have to bear too much because of this. That dog Ah Xiang deserves to die ten thousand times. He killed Master, and you're just avenging your father.”
This was the reason Tang Shan gave Huo Tingen, and it was also the reason he gave himself.
" I understand, Eldest Senior Brother!" Huo Tingen nodded blankly.
The revenge was taken and the truth was revealed. Tang Shan then ordered his junior brothers to bury Ah Xiang and Uncle Gen hastily. Although they had poisoned Huo Yuanjia, he was already dead. There was no need to desecrate their corpses.
Tang Shan finally found some time to check the system. After checking, he found that there were many records in the mission module. Not only did he complete the fourth main mission," Find the real murderer ", he also completed the fifth main mission," Revenge ". In addition, he had also completed three side missions, namely," Victory in Court Trial "," Find Chen Zhen ", and " Kill to Silence ". The two main missions and three side missions gave him 2000 experience points each.
Tang Shan felt more and more satisfied with the system's ability to accept missions. However, at the same time, he had a trace of doubt. Then, he calmed down and asked, System, why did you automatically accept all the missions without telling me?”
The system replied,"This is the default setting. The host can change the setting at will."”
