As soon as Eve said this, everyone was shocked, even Qining was also shocked.
As we all know, the cause of the Heiyan Cave incident was that Bai Tangling, the magistrate of Danba County, was killed in Heiyan Ridge. However, Eve actually said that Bai Tangling was not dead. This news was shocking and everyone was stunned.
"What did you say?" Langchadulu reacted and stood up suddenly, "You said... You said Bai Tangling is still alive? He is not dead?"
Eve sneered: "There are indeed people who want him to die, but he is still alive and well."
Everyone looked at each other, Qining was also a little confused, but King Damiao had already asked: "Child, what is going on?"
Eve said: "King of Damiao, County Magistrate Bai is a good official. After my brother told him the whole story and wrote a document, County Magistrate Bai took the document and said that he would give it to Governor Wei. Brother has been They were sent to the base of the village and sent people to prepare to send them out of Heiyan Ridge. However, before they left Heiyan Ridge, they were attacked by a group of people. The escort sent out a signal. Brother immediately led people to rescue and rushed to the scene. At that time, Magistrate Bai and the brothers who were escorted by our village were lying on the ground...!"
Everyone is holding their breath.
"There are eleven people in total. We thought that all of them were killed, but Magistrate Bai and a brother who was escorting him escaped death and were only seriously injured." Eve said: "Perhaps we arrived in time, and those gangs made a sneak attack The killer did not dare to stay for a long time, so Magistrate Bai managed to save his life, but his injuries were extremely serious. It took three days and three nights of continuous resuscitation to rescue Magistrate Bai from the gate of hell."
Dandu Gu frowned and said: "Since County Magistrate Bai is still alive, why does the Governor's Office send troops? Can't Magistrate Bai clarify it for you?"
Eve said: "Brother knew that something was fishy, and he also guessed that someone wanted to kill County Magistrate Bai and put the blame on our Heiyan Cave, so he strictly protected Magistrate Bai while he was recovering from his injuries, and also deliberately laid a trap Trap, pretending to be County Magistrate Bai, Brother’s guess was not wrong, after that someone really sneaked into Heiyan Ridge, wanted to kill Magistrate Bai, and fell into the trap...!"
"Can we catch the assassin?" Langchatulu asked hurriedly.
Eve shook her head and said: "Although we caught him, the assassin is a dead man. He found himself in a trap and committed suicide immediately...!"
Qi Ning was also shocked, never expecting that there was such an inside story.
"After the incident, there were rumors outside that Magistrate Bai and his servants were all killed by our Black Rock Cave." Eve said, "Although I knew about it, I didn't care. As long as Magistrate Bai recovers from his injuries, Magistrate Bai will If you testify with your own words, our Heiyan Cave will naturally be innocent."
King Damiao nodded and said: "Yes, County Magistrate Bai is the party involved. If he is alive and personally comes forward to clarify for you Black Rock Cave, the misunderstanding will naturally disappear."
Dandu Gu frowned and said: "Then why has it been a few months since this happened last year? Even the officers and soldiers have surrounded you in Heiyan Ridge, but Bai Tangling has never shown up?" After a pause, he asked again: "Don't you think so? Didn't you send someone to tell Governor Wei the truth?"
"This is what I want to say." Eve said: "After the incident, within one day, there were rumors everywhere that we had killed officials and rebelled. At that time, we were still saving County Magistrate Bai's life. Brother was worried that there would be misunderstandings, so he wrote I wrote a letter and sent people to rush to the Governor's Mansion to report the truth."
King Damiao looked deeply and asked, "Has Governor Wei received the letter?"
"The brother who was sent to deliver the letter has not returned to the village." Eve looked solemn: "Brother is not sure whether Wei Shutong really received the letter, but after the letter was sent, the assassin who assassinated Magistrate Bai sneaked into Heiyan Ridge .”
Dandu Gu said: "Your letter made people know that Bai Tangling is still alive, so they continued to send assassins." He frowned and said: "So, the letter was not sent to Governor Wei."
Langchatulu sneered: "That's not necessarily the case."
King Damiao still looked very calm and asked: "You didn't send any more messengers?"
"We sent out twice, but never came back." Eve said: "Brother knew there was something going on, so he planned to wait until Magistrate Bai recovered from his injury, and then take Magistrate Bai to see Wei Shutong in person, but Magistrate Bai was seriously injured and needed to recuperate for a long time. He could not get out of bed at all. Before Magistrate Bai's injury healed, Wei Shutong's officers and soldiers had already arrived, cordoned off the entire Black Rock Ridge, and sent a message to Brother Brother Explain it yourself.”
"Bayeli didn't go?" Dandugu asked.
Eve shook her head and sneered: "Brother said that this matter is very strange from beginning to end. If I go to see it, I will probably fall into a trap."
"Does Bayeli suspect that Bai Tangling's assassination was related to Wei Shutong?" Langchatulu asked.
King Damiao frowned but did not speak. Eve said: "The truth of the matter is confusing. Brother is not sure whether Wei Shutong is related to this matter, but he knows that he cannot trust them easily. Brother sent someone to tell the other party, let him Governor Wei sent people to the stronghold and saw Magistrate Bai. Everything came to light. However, Wei Shutong never sent anyone to the stronghold. He also said that Heiyan Cave was a rebellion. Only the owner of Heiyan Cave went there in person to explain clearly. There was no government official. People come into the village to listen to the explanation."
King Damiao seemed to understand and said: "So Heiyan Cave and the officers and soldiers are in a stalemate, and neither side is willing to send people first?"
Eve said: "Brother sent people to shoot out letters several times, telling them that Magistrate Bai was not dead. The officers and soldiers got the letters, but Wei Shutong didn't care about it from beginning to end. He just kept sending people to shout for him. Brother comes out of the stronghold."
Qi Ning's mind was also racing at this time. What Eve said in front of King Damiao should not be lies. If all this is true, then the Black Cave incident is completely a conspiracy.
Bai Tangling was assassinated in Heiyanling. The opponent's purpose was of course to frame Heiyandong. Afterwards, Heiyandong sent people to send letters twice, but they never came back. So who got the letters? Was it delivered to Wei Shutong, or was it intercepted by someone else along the way
If Wei Shutong sees the letter, as a feudal official, even if he will not go to Heiyan Cave in person to verify it, he will definitely send someone to Heiyan Cave.
But in fact, Wei Shutong did not have any contact with Heiyan Cave, but sent troops to quickly blockade Heiyan Ridge.
Heiyan Cave shot arrow books several times, which told Bai Tangling that Bai Tangling was still alive, but Wei Shutong's reaction was obviously very strange.
At least the information sent to the capital did not mention that Bai Tangling was seriously injured and not dead. Everyone thought that Bai Tangling had been killed long ago.
If Wei Shutong deliberately concealed it, his purpose was to get rid of Heiyan Cave, but the current situation was obviously illogical.
The purpose of blocking the Black Rock Ridge was to cut off the connection between the Black Rock Ridge and the outside world, and finally destroy the Black Rock Ridge in one fell swoop. However, spring was already here, and the ice and snow had already melted. It was a good time to attack the Black Rock Ridge, but he chose not to move.
Qi Ning frowned slightly, hoping to sort out some clues from the clues he had obtained so far.
"If Bai Tangling is still alive, then the rebellion in Heiyan Cave can certainly be explained clearly." Dan Dugu said: "King Damiao, I can go to see Governor Wei again and communicate with him about this matter."
"Communicate with him?" Langchatulu sneered: "Dandugu, when you go to see him this time, has he mentioned to you that Bai Tangling is not dead?"
Dandu Gu hesitated and shook his head.
Langchatulu sneered and said: "The matter is already very clear. This matter is closely related to the government from beginning to end. Bai Tangling's assassination may be a play by the government."
"Don't say anything without evidence from your mouth." King Damiao looked unhappy.
Langchatulu said: "King Damiao, I know I shouldn't say this, but I have to say it. Wei Shutong knew that Bai Tangling was not dead, but still wanted to besiege Heiyan Ridge. What did he want to do? Heiyan Cave is just One of the seventy-two holes for the Miao people, why did Wei Shutong target one hole for the Miao people?”
"What did you think it would be?" King Damiao said calmly.
Langchatulu said: "They just didn't want us Miao people to live a good life. They set a trap first and found an excuse to use Heiyan Cave to operate. But they didn't expect that Bai Tangling was not dead, otherwise Heiyan Cave wouldn't be able to explain it clearly." He looked towards the direction. Eve said: "This time it was Heiyan Cave Eve who rushed out and brought us the news. Otherwise, no one would know that Bai Tangling was still alive. Everyone thought that Heiyan Cave was attacked by officers and soldiers because of the murder of officials and rebellion. .”
Dandu Gu said in a deep voice: "Wei Shutong has been the governor of Xichuan for many years and has always coexisted peacefully with us. Why would he suddenly change his political strategy for many years and suddenly stir up trouble? He is the governor of Xichuan. Does he want to manage by himself? There is unrest in our land? Langchatulu, what you say makes no sense.”
"The facts are in front of you, you say I'm unreasonable?" Langchatulu sneered: "He knew clearly that Bai Tangling was not dead, but he still wanted to attack Heiyan Ridge. Isn't it a fact? The Han family is very cunning. What is he thinking in his heart? Can you guess? Maybe he has always wanted to get rid of us Miao people. In the past, he just pretended to make us unprepared, and then slowly dealt with us. This time, the attack on Heiyan Ridge may be a test. Look at the Miao people. How will the seventy-two holes react?”
"If he wanted to attack Black Rock Ridge, why didn't he do it?" Dandu Gu also raised his voice.
Langchatulu clenched his fist and said: "I said, he was testing. He was waiting deliberately. If there was no response from the Miao caves, he would swallow the Black Rock Ridge in one gulp. If there was a response, he would definitely see what happened. How many Miaodong will intervene in this matter, if there are too few, he will find excuses to attack one after another."
More than a dozen Miao people present looked at each other. Many felt that what Langchatulu said was not unreasonable, and some even nodded slightly.
"King Damiao, if we wait here, then Wei Shutong will become more and more courageous and will attack Heiyan Ridge soon." Langchatulu said: "We must gather people immediately. Only in this way, Wei Shutong Colleagues are wary and don't dare to act rashly. As long as he doesn't dare to act recklessly, we can take Bai Tangling to argue with him face to face." He smiled and clenched his fists: "Only if he has enough strength, he will negotiate with us. "
