Dandu Gu's face turned cold and he said in a deep voice, "What did you say?"
"Dandu Gu, I heard that you have known these two people for a long time?" Langchatulu clenched the cold blade in his hand, "When you were at the bottom of the mountain, I heard that you were going to take them up the mountain without the instructions of King Damiao?"
Dandu Gu's expression suddenly changed and he said sternly: "Langchadu Lu, what do you mean by this?"
Langchatulu seemed to be a little wary of Dandu Gu. He took two steps back and said loudly: "Don't you understand what I mean? You have to give us an explanation as to the origins of these two people."
At this time, there were more than ten people in the room. When everyone heard what Langchatulu said, they all looked at Dandu Gu.
Dandu Gu clenched his fist and said, "Yes, I met them on the way back, and... they helped me save my life."
"Just admit it." Langchatulu's face was gloomy: "But you said you met them on the road. Only you know whether it is true or false."
Dandu Gu's eyes shot out with anger, and he shouted sternly: "Could it be that... you think the murder of King Damiao had something to do with me, Dandu Gu?"
"Whether it matters or not, only you know for sure." Langchatulu snorted coldly: "They killed the Miao King, and there are all human and material evidences, but you still want to cover them up, what on earth do you want to do?"
"I just don't want you to wrongly accuse a good person." Dandu Gu was trembling with anger. "If you wrongly accuse a good person because of impulse, and let the real murderer go free, how can we treat Dad?"
Langchatulu said loudly: "Of course we can't let go of the real culprit. The real culprit is right in front of us, and you still want to cover it up. Everyone knows whether you have anything to do with the murder of the Miao King."
Although Dandu Gu has a calmer temperament than Langchadu Lu, Langchadu Lu's words obviously mean that the murder of King Damiao was caused by Dandu Gu. Dandu Gu also has a strong temper. How can he hold back and be fierce? He shouted: "Langchatulu, are you saying that my father was killed because of me?"
Seeing Dandu Gu being angry, Langcha Tulu was obviously still a little wary, and said: "Dandugu, you don't have to shout loudly. The King of Miao was killed by these two people. The evidence is conclusive, and you knew them before they went up the mountain. , and you are planning to take them up the mountain, which has to make people suspicious."
"Why should I harm Dad?" Dandu Gu said sharply.
Langchatulu sneered and said: "You still want me to say it?" He raised his neck and said: "Now that we have said it, we might as well make it clear. Dad is old and his health is getting worse every day. , after my father passes away, of course I will inherit the position of King of Miao, but you Dandu Gu have always thought that you are smart and capable, and you even sent people to spread the word in the village, saying that you should inherit the position of King of Miao, yes It's not like this?"
Dandu Gu's face was ashen and he said coldly: "Who will take up the responsibility of the Damiao King is not decided by you and me, but by my father. If my father lets you inherit the position of Damiao King, I, Dandu Gu, will definitely I will fully assist you and will never have other thoughts. The rumors in the village have nothing to do with me."
At this moment, he heard another noise coming from outside. Through the window, Qi Ning saw a group of Miao people suddenly appear and surround the stilted building of Miao King. Then five or six people walked in from the outside. Ning glanced at them and recognized that these people were all Miao people who were meeting in Dazhai today.
There are seventy-two caves in the Miao family in Xichuan, and each cave is divided into several villages. Each cave has a cave master, and each village has a leader.
And each village is composed of many families.
The cave master of Shangshui Cave is the Damiao King, and there are six headmen in the six villages under it. Qining and Eve are now in the main village of Shangshui Cave, so the Damiao King is not only the cave master of the six villages of Shangshui Cave, but also The leader of the main village.
Within this main village, there are Miao families, large and small.
The family of the Miao King is the first family in Shangshui Cave, and it is also the most sacred family in the entire Miao family's 72 caves. Because the Miao family's great shaman is this family, this family has also held the status of the Miao King for generations.
After Eve arrived last night, the Damiao King knew that the matter was of great importance, so he sent people to summon the leaders of each village and the heads of several big families overnight. Because Dandu Gu and Eve had not left yet, it was not known whether the Damiao King would They would change their minds, so the leaders of each village did not leave the main village.
Although the situation on the Damiao King's side was not immediately publicized in the village, it was of great importance, so someone quickly went to notify several leaders. After receiving the news, several leaders rushed over immediately.
Several leaders led people to surround the stilted building first to prevent the real murderer from escaping, and then entered the house. Although the Damiao King's house was quite spacious, it seemed very crowded with more than 20 people at once. The Miao people armed with weapons and bamboo crossbows tightly surrounded Qining and Eve, fearing that they would escape.
When several chiefs entered the house, they saw King Miao lying on a wicker chair. Two of them howled and rushed forward, knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
King Damiao is calm and wise. He has made great contributions to the stability of the Miao family over the years. He is also easy-going, talented and very wise. He has unparalleled prestige in the Miao family and is deeply respected by people. At this time, he saw that King Damiao actually How could everyone not be sad when something unexpected happened.
By the time a few people got up, a leader had already asked sternly: "Where is the murderer?" Seeing Qining and Eve being surrounded, the man pulled out the scimitar he wore at his waist, rushed forward, and shot Eve cut it down with one stroke and shouted sternly: "Kill the murderer and avenge the Miao King."
Eve didn't expect that things would evolve to this point. The other party suddenly slashed at her with a knife, and she was stunned. Qi Ning had already stepped forward, reached out, grabbed the man's wrist, and said sternly: "You want to kill someone and silence them." ?"
The man felt as if his wrist was bound by an iron hoop, unable to move.
Dandu Gu also shouted sharply: "Stop!"
Several leaders had stern expressions. Qining raised his hand, and the leader who drew the sword took a few steps back before standing firm.
A slender leader who was over fifty years old asked with a stern face: "What happened? Why was the King of Miao killed?"
Langchatulu immediately explained the matter roughly, and then pointed the cold blade at Dandu Gu and said: "Several leaders, Dandu Gu has known these two people for a long time. Yesterday, when we went up the mountain, there was no order from the Miao King. He took the decision without permission and almost brought people up the mountain, why was he so eager to let them go up the mountain?"
"Langcha Toulu, you can't talk like this." The lanky-headed man said: "Dandu Gu is an upright person, but he is kind-hearted and has always been filial to King Damiao. You have wronged Dandu Gu like this, and people are dissatisfied."
"But what Langchatulu said is not unreasonable." A leader on the side said slowly: "It was too coincidental. Why did Dandu Gu just come to Xishan and meet them? Who are these two people? Origin? Although it is said that Black Cave Eve brought Black Cave’s token, this does not prove that this woman must be Black Cave Eve.”
Eve sneered: "I'm not Black Cave Eve, who should I be?"
"We will always find out who they are." The man said: "Everyone, the most important thing now is not to interrogate these people. King Damiao was killed. We must first place the body of King Damiao. When everything is done, we will Interrogate carefully." Xiang Qining and Eve said, "Whether you two are the murderers or not, we will investigate in detail. If you are really wronged, we will clear your name."
"How long will it take to wait?" Eve immediately asked: "Do we have to wait here forever?"
The man said: "Of course you can't leave. King Damiao was killed. This matter is much more important than the siege of your Black Rock Cave. I can only force you to stay in the stronghold first, and we will talk about it after the matter is settled."
Langchatulu said: "What about the Dandu bones? These two people are related to him."
Dandu Gu was extremely angry and laughed back: "Langcha Dulu, do you still want to lock me up too?"
"If we don't lock you up, what if you let the murderer escape?" Langchatulu sneered, "I'm afraid you will have to find a chance to escape."
"Headmen, what do you mean?" Dandu Gu glanced at the headmen, "Langchatulu slandered that the murder of the Miao King was related to me, do you think so too?"
Langchatulu said loudly: "You wholeheartedly want to sit on the throne of Damiao King, but my father only wants me to inherit the throne of Damiao King. You have long been dissatisfied. If you do something unscrupulous, it will not be the same." Not surprisingly."
"You...!" Dandu Gu clenched his fist and was about to rush forward.
The lanky-headed man grabbed him and said in a deep voice: "Dandu Gu, the eagle will always be an eagle, and the wolf will always be a wolf. As long as you have a clear conscience, don't be afraid of anything. Let's settle the Damiao King first, and you can go and imprison the wolf." Bi, after the king of Miao is settled, we leaders will get together and figure out the matter carefully. Even if we can't figure it out, there is still a big witch who will always investigate the matter to the bottom of it."
This person is obviously very prestigious in Sheung Shui Cave. Although Dandu Gu looked angry, he hesitated and finally nodded: "I have a clear conscience and I will definitely find out the truth of the matter."
The lanky-headed man saluted Black Cave Eve again, and then said seriously: "Whether you are Black Cave Eve or not, if you are not guilty, we will definitely restore your innocence. I can use the lives of everyone in my family to To ensure this.”
Such a guarantee is already extremely heavy for the Miao family.
Eve knew very well that at this time, the other party was outnumbered, and even if she disagreed, there was nothing she could do. And with the Slender Headed Man’s assurance, she could only say: “The murder of King Damiao has nothing to do with us, and I hope you will find out quickly. The Black Rock Cave is in danger, we cannot stay here for too long, one day at most, I hope you will give me an answer."
Qi Ning also understood at this time that a large group of people from the other side were here. If he took action in front of him, these Miao people would definitely attack him in groups, but he would be fine. Eve would definitely not survive. not talking.
Immediately, someone came over and tied the hands of Qining and Eve, and even Dandu Gu had his hands tied. Then seven or eight people holding scimitars escorted the three of them out of the stilted building and walked westward, passing through. After passing through a forest, we came to the edge of a cliff. There was a narrow path on the edge of the cliff, allowing only one person to pass.
Qi Ning was cautious, but fortunately these people did not act rashly. They walked along the cliff to the end, and there was a small wooden house in front of them. Behind the wooden house, there was a stone wall. Qin Ning glanced at it and saw only the stone wall carved out. There are several cave entrances, which are sealed with iron bars, just like several prison cells.
"This is the Prison Wolf Wall." Dandu Gu glanced at Qining: "It is a place used to detain prisoners. I never thought that one day I would be imprisoned here."
