Chapter 426: Secrets Revealed (150 monthly tickets plus more!)
In front of the central chamber.
As the Snow Girl spoke without any warmth, everyone's attention fell on Tianxuan, looking at this great Qin prince who could easily decide the life and death of anyone present.
"It's very simple. Please look at something!"
The snow girl's cold attitude did not make Tianxuan angry. With a light smile, Tianxuan took out a brocade bag from his arms.
[Is this the evidence that the Giant killed the previous Giant: Six-Fingered Black Knight? ]
Seeing Tianxuan taking out the brocade bag from his arms, Duanmu Rong recalled what Tianxuan had said to her at Jinghu Medical Village a few days ago. Her heart, which was used to seeing birth, aging, sickness and death, suddenly rose to her throat and she stared at the brocade bag in Tianxuan's hand without blinking.
After taking out the brocade bag, Tianxuan did not open it, but threw it back with his backhand, sending out a soft force, causing the brocade bag in his hand to ricochet and fly straight to Gai Nie. Although Gai Nie was seriously injured and even his sword, Yuanhong Sword, was destroyed by Tianxuan, he still subconsciously reached out to grab the brocade bag thrown by Tianxuan.
With a casual grab, the brocade bag fell into Gai Nie's hand, but the force it carried did not cause any harm to Gai Nie.
"Mr. Gai Nie, please show the contents to the Mohists present here."
Tian Xuan's calm and nonchalant words followed, asking Gai Nie to help him.
Brush and pull!
Gai Nie didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Tian Xuan's gourd, so he subconsciously followed Tian Xuan's instructions. The small and exquisite brocade bag was opened, and inside was a yellowed letter paper. After Gai Nie spread it out, his face was filled with melancholy and deep shock. He could hardly believe his eyes.
This was because, on this piece of letter paper, it was clearly written that thirty thousand taels of gold were to be used as a bargaining chip, asking Wei Zhuang to take action and kill the previous giant of the Mohist school: the Six-Fingered Black Knight!
Although the identity of the person who hired the assassin was not recorded on the paper, the characters used were the abolished Yan language. Gai Nie was once the best swordsman beside Zheng Ge, and was deeply trusted by Zheng Ge and had access to some imperial secrets. Even though there was no signature on the paper, Gai Nie could still recognize who wrote it at a glance.
"Everyone, take a look!"
After recognizing who wrote the paper, Gai Nie showed a bitter expression on his face. He picked up the old paper and gestured to the people who had gathered around.
In the dim light, everyone's eyes were on the paper held by Gai Nie. The characters written on it shocked everyone. The most important thing was that everyone was familiar with this handwriting. In an instant, all the Mohist leaders, including Xiaoyaozi, a collaborator of Mohist, could not believe their eyes.
Dao Zhi stared at the paper in Gai Nie's hand for a moment, then suddenly raised his hands and rubbed his eyes to determine whether he was hallucinating or not.
“Everyone, this is unexpected, right?” Tian Xuan enjoyed the shock and disbelief of the Mohists as he wished, and said leisurely, “Although the Six-Fingered Black Knight died under Wei Zhuang’s sword, the one who really wanted the Six-Fingered Black Knight dead was your current leader—Yan Dan!”
"impossible!"
Facing Tianxuan's words, the Mohists who recognized the handwriting on the paper as Yan Dan's own remained silent for a long time, and no one refuted. After a few breaths of silence, Duanmu Rong beside Tianxuan suddenly ran out and ran towards Gai Nie and others, her beautiful face full of despair.
Duan Mu Rong snatched the old paper from Gai Nie's hand, staring at it with burning eyes, her beautiful eyes wide open, scanning every character on it, trying to find evidence of forgery. However, no matter how Duan Mu Rong scanned, she still couldn't find any trace of forgery on the paper!
'The current leader Yan Dan is actually the murderer who killed the previous leader Six-Fingered Black Knight!'
Such a secret that was suddenly revealed was like a merciless divine thunder that exploded above the heads of the Mohists, bringing them unimaginable shock and almost shattering their three views.
Tick-tock! Duanmu Rong joined the Mohist School as a descendant of a medical family. She was attracted by the Mohist School's chivalrous spirit and its sentiment of loving all and not attacking others. However, the paper in her hand clearly told her that the Mohist School was not as upright as she had imagined, and the current leader was a hypocrite who killed his teacher and seized the throne!
In an instant, Duanmu Rong's heart was filled with emotion, and a tear as big as a bucket flowed out and fell on the paper in her palm.
With Duanmu Rong's tear, endless depression brewed among the Mohist people. Their eyes met, and everyone could see more or less sadness and self-mockery in the eyes of others.
"Master Wei Zhuang," Tian Xuan admired the speechless expressions of the Mohists, and suddenly said to Wei Zhuang, "Although I look down on Yan Dan, I have to admit that he is indeed a qualified conspirator. I will use you to eliminate the Six-Fingered Black Knight, so that I can naturally ascend to the position of the leader of the Mohist school."
"In order to secure his position as the great leader, he launched the plan to assassinate Qin Shi Huang and let Jing Ke, who was very popular in the Mohist school, assassinate the First Emperor. Regardless of whether Jing Ke succeeded or not, it was a sure win for Yan Dan!"
Wei Zhuang nodded in agreement: "Not bad."
"If Jing Ke kills your father, no matter who succeeds, the Qin State will be in chaos for a while. In this way, as the initiator of this assassination plan, Yan Dan will gain great prestige both within the Mohist School and in the State of Yan, and firmly sit on the throne of the Crown Prince of Yan and the leader of the Mohist School."
"On the contrary, if Jing Ke had failed to kill your father, and had died meaninglessly in Zhangtai Palace, Yan Dan would have removed the stumbling block that could shake his position as a great man. On the other hand, even if the Qin army destroyed Yan, he could, as the crown prince of Yan, recruit the remaining people of Yan to join the Mohist School, completely control the Mohist School, and turn the Mohist School into a tool for his restoration of his country and revenge!"
Having said that, Wei Zhuang raised his evil eyes slightly and cast a playful look at the several Mohist leaders present.
One's own family knows one's own affairs.
Although the leaders of the Mohist School wanted to refute, they recalled that since Yan Dan became the leader of the Mohist School, the Mohist School had indeed gained many disciples from the State of Yan. As a result, under the influence of these disciples, the slogans against Qin within the Mohist School became louder and louder, almost to the point of a fight to the death.
Not to mention, Xue Nu and Gao Jianli were recruited by Yan Dan and became leaders of the Mohist School by virtue of their advanced martial arts.
There is Yan Dan’s handwritten letter, plus Wei Zhuang as a witness!
The possibility of Yan Dan murdering the former master, the Six-Fingered Black Knight, and seizing the throne has risen to 90%! The last 10% is just the self-esteem that everyone barely maintains!
Tear!
In silence, Gao Jianli suddenly made an incredible move. He snatched Yan Dan's handwritten letter from Duanmu Rong's hand and tore it into pieces, with the debris flying all over the sky.
"Xiao Gao, you!"
"Xiao Gao, what are you doing?"
"Xiao Gao, are you crazy?"
……
Seeing Gao Jianli destroy the evidence of Yan Dan's murder of his master and seizure of the throne, the others were awakened from their silence, exclaimed in surprise, and looked at Gao Jianli with puzzled eyes.
"Everyone," Gao Jianli said with his head held high, "this was just a fabrication by the Qin people. Wei Zhuang was even in cahoots with the Qin people, so how can his words be used as evidence?"
