Chapter 8: It's hard to tell what's true and what's false

"I don't want to frame others by using fake death, even this person is very annoying." Facing one gaze after another, Ma Ju sighed and said, "I'm also forced to do anything!"

"Who forced you?" Quanzhen Wuzi outside the wall took the opportunity to fly into the yard, and Sun Buer asked coldly.

Su Jin looked up at her without saying a word, but she felt a little strange.

I can't say anything wrong, but I always feel that this uncle is not as simple as I imagined.

"It's Zhao Zhijing, Senior Brother Zhao..."

"Impossible!" Before he finished speaking, Zhao Zhijing's master Wang Chu said in a deep voice: "Zhijing is definitely not such a person!"

"At this point, do I still need to lie?" Ma Jucai said seriously: "Because of the first disciple of the three generations of Quanzhen Sect, the relationship between Zhao Zhijing and Yin Zhiping has never been very harmonious. When the head sect and the elders decided to evaluate and elect the eldest disciple of the head sect, this contradiction was completely intensified. That night, Zhao Zhijing found me and gave me a fake death pill, and then everything you know was found."

"All nonsense is talking, how could Zhijing have something like a fake death pill on him? Even if he wants to buy it, he doesn't have the ability!" Wang Chuyi said seriously.

Ma Ju looked at him deeply and said, "I don't know how the fake death pill on him came from. I just told the facts I experienced."

"You!" Wang Chu was furious and stretched out his hand and pointed at the horse. "I don't know who you were instructed to frame Zhijing, but I tell you that right and wrong cannot be reversed with just opening your mouth."

"Okay, Junior Brother Wang, let's take him back to Quanzhen Sect first and confront Zhijing in front of all the disciples." Qiu Chuji knew that Wang Chuyi's words were not only for Ma Jucai to listen to, but also for the rest of them.

If one person is not handled well, it will lead to the disagreement between the two parties.

"Don't hurt my brother, he is innocent." At some point, Ma Xiaomei, who was standing on the threshold of the bedroom, suddenly ran over and knelt on the ground and begged.

"Xiaolan, come back." Aunt Ma was so scared that she almost lost her soul and shouted loudly.

"Don't worry, we are the commanders of Ma Jucai, not his enemies, and will not kill his life." Qiu Chuji said.

"If you have to take my brother away, just take me away." Ma Yulan said firmly.

Su Jin patted Ma Jucai on the shoulder: "You are planning to watch this, let your sister kneel on the ground and plead for you with her life?"

Ma Ju glanced at him in disgust, and actually reached out to pat his shoulder, as if it was stained with dust. Then he solemnly said: "Little sister, you are not helping me, but hurting me!"

"Ah?" Ma Yulan looked at him in confusion.

"Wait for me to come back at home, it will definitely be fine." Ma Ju rubbed her hair, nodded to her second uncle and aunt, and took the initiative to walk out of the yard.

Su Jin and Quanzhen's six sons followed him, saying nothing all the way. When they arrived on Mount Zhongnan, Ma Ju suddenly asked: "I was forced to kill someone and pretend to kill someone. I should not die, right?"

"No, the premise is that you honestly explain and cooperate with us to find out the truth." Qiu Chuji said.

When several people reached the top of Mount Zhongnan and arrived in front of Wanshou Palace, the sky had completely darkened, and bunches of torches began to light up, as if a fire dragon had emerged from the earth.

Several disciples were ordered to ring the bronze bell, and the solemn bells rang out across the entire mountain under the quiet night sky.

Not long after, the lights in Wanshou Palace were bright and bright as daytime. Qiu Chuji stood in front of the statue of the ancestor, facing Ma Jucai and more than 300 disciples who were whispering to each other.

Through this short period of word-of-mouth transmission, everyone generally understood the process of the entire incident, and their eyes looked at Zhao Zhijing suddenly became a little different.

It is undeniable that Zhao Zhijing does have the biggest motivation to do this.

"Zhao Zhijing!" Qiu Chuji called out.

"Disciple is here."

"Ma Jucai pointed out that you asked him to pretend to die and frame Yin Zhiping. Do you have something to say?" Qiu Chuji looked down at Zhao Zhijing with a serious and bitter voice, as if the cold wind suddenly rose.

"False accusation!" Zhao Zhijing clenched his fists and said angrily: "Although my relationship with Junior Brother Yin is not very good, I am not going to do such a dirty thing."

"Do you have any evidence to prove your innocence?" Qiu Chuji said.

Zhao Zhijing turned his eyes to Ma Jucai: "Master, can you let your disciple confront Junior Brother Ma on the spot now?"

Qiu Chuji nodded slightly.

"Junior Brother Ma, you said I asked you to pretend to die and frame Junior Brother Yin, so I asked you, which day, when, where did I find you, and what did you say to you... This is a matter of a few days. Don't tell us that you can't remember it, or that your memory is blurred." Zhao Zhijing asked.

"It was the day when the head sect announced that he had begun to observe all his disciples. When you were ugly, you sneaked into my bamboo house and used my family and gold, silver and treasure to force me to tempt me a fake death pill, which made me deliberately anger Senior Brother Yin, thus laying the groundwork for the frame-up." Ma Jucai said.

"You are lying! I didn't go out at all when it was ugly that day, so how could I threaten you with temptation!" Zhao Zhijing shouted sternly.

"Can anyone prove it for you?" Ma Ju said.

Zhao Zhijing paused slightly and said, "My master can prove it to me because he was in my room at that time and discussed with me all night about the head disciples."

"It seems you who lie and don't write down the script! I won't ask your master, and it's useless to ask, because he will definitely protect you." Ma Jucai said.

Zhao Zhijing took a deep breath and said, "You said I used gold and silver and family to threaten you with my temptation, so how much gold and silver have I given you? Where are the gold and silver now?"

"I gave me five hundred taels of silver, and I spent it all." Ma Jucai suddenly felt a slap in his heart, and he said after thinking for a while.

"Where did you spend it, what did you buy?" Zhao Zhijing said.

Ma Jucai pondered and said, "It's all in the casino, nothing is left."

“As far as I know, you never gambled before.”

"I didn't know how to bet before, but it doesn't mean I can't bet now."

"What is the name of the casino? Where is it? Don't hesitate and answer me immediately."

"this……"

"Answer me immediately!" Zhao Zhijing pressed step by step.

Ma Jucai's back was covered in cold sweat, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I...I forgot the name of the gambling house."

"I'm lying again, I don't believe you can forget the gambling house where you lost 500 taels of silver."

"If you don't believe it's your own business, what's the matter with me?" Ma Jucai said.

"Speak the name of the gambling house." Wang Chuyi said in a deep voice.

Ma Ju was silent for a long time and said, "Chang'an City, flowers bloom and wealthy. If you have the ability, go and ask yourself."

"What's the layout inside?" Zhao Zhijing said.

"What?"

"I'll ask you what the layout looks like."

"this……"

"Tell me now, right now, what the layout looks like."

"I forgot!"

"Haha..." Zhao Zhijing smiled coldly and said to Qiu Chuji: "Master, I have finished asking. I believe everyone has made a statement in their hearts."

Qiu Chuji said: "Ma Jucai, tell the truth, who is behind you? If you continue to lie, I will immediately destroy your martial arts and lock you up in the forbidden area, imprisoning you for the rest of your life!"

"If I say it, it will affect my family." Ma Ju hesitated for a long time and said slowly.

"Don't worry, as long as the real murderer can be found, I will let him stand up and not give him a chance to hurt your family."

Ma Ju finally fell silent, and the hall suddenly fell into a silence like death. All the disciples didn't even dare to say a word of magnanimity.

"It's Uncle Sun Buer." After a long time, Ma Ju raised his arm and pointed at a person who had never thought of anyone. The crowd was in an uproar.

"Rareless!" Sun Buer's face changed and he said coldly: "It actually slandered me. You are so brave!"

"Stop pretending." Ma Jucai said: "Before the head sect announced the election of the head sect's disciples, you found me, gave me a fake death pill, and threatened me to deal with Yin Zhiping with my family. After I did as you said, you ordered the two disciples to use the bag-dropping trick to help me get rid of my body."

"The disciples don't want to question Uncle Sun, but after the incident, it seemed that Uncle Sun's disciple was guarding the mountain gate and stopped Yin Zhiping, who wanted to go down the mountain to find the truth. If Yin Zhiping had not found the head sect, we would probably think that Ma Ju was dead." Zhao Zhijing said.

"Zhao Zhijing, even you are doubting me!" Sun Buer shouted as if he had been betrayed.

"Although I have gotten rid of the suspicion, I still want to find out the truth." Zhao Zhijing spoke with a serious expression.

Sun Buer's chest was irritated and he kept undulating, and he said coldly: "Okay, okay, are you deliberately bullying me while Ma Dongyang is in seclusion?"

Zhao Zhijing knelt on the ground with a bang, kowtowed heavily, "Disciple, don't dare!"

"After all this, what else do you dare not?" Sun Buer stabilized his emotions and said to Qiu Chuji: "It's not me, I have no reason to frame Yin Zhiping."

"As far as I know, Master Ma Yu recently accepted a very talented apprentice named Li Zhining!" It was Zhao Zhijing, and he said something that was pierced by the heart with a respectful expression.

Sun Buer was so angry that he asked Su Jin directly: "Yin Zhiping, do you think I would frame you?"
