Toppling a golden mountain and toppling a jade pillar.
The current head of the Bai family, the local tyrant of Xichuan, the leader of the Qinzhou Aristocratic Family Alliance, and a respectable person of high society, Bai Zhenming.
In the most prestigious place in Xichuan, in his own home, in the Bai Family Fortress, he knelt down.
Everyone was shocked and stood up subconsciously. A few people who were close to him immediately reached out to take it. "You can't do that!"
Although they were here for the Bai family, they were all respectable people of Jianghu and had to carefully uphold the rules of Jianghu. The imperial court had a tradition of not humiliating each other, and the Jianghu also had a similar rule.
Bai Zhenming was the head of the Bai family and the leader of the Sword Sage's family. His father was the famous Gold Radiance Sword Sage, and the Bai family was also regarded as a martial arts family. Therefore, they were here for the Huaichuan incident and followed the rules of Jianghu. Therefore, when they saw Bai Zhenming kneel, they could not sit still.
After all, he was the head of a prestigious family. Even if he had made a mistake, they had to preserve his dignity and dignity. This was the rule of Jianghu, a rule for everyone's sake.
However, when they reached out to help him up, Bai Zhenming remained kneeling on the ground. They reached out to pull him up several times, but he did not move at all.
Master Zhi Ying sighed. "Mr. Bai, please get up. Why do you have to do this?
If you have any difficulties, why don't you tell us and let us hear it. "
Sun Lang sat on a chair and propped his chin on his hand. He crossed his legs and looked at Bai Zhenming with a faint smile.
Yang Tiandu's gaze moved back and forth between Sun Lang and Bai Zhenming. He instinctively felt that something was not right.
Sun Lang finally said, "Could there be more to this matter?
Mr. Bai, what danger is the Bai family in that you need our help? "
Bai Zhenming said sorrowfully, "Everyone, please understand … The Bai Family has been in a precarious situation these days. First, there was the Huaichuan Massacre, and then there were the heroes who went up the mountain. Rumors spread everywhere, and my father's reputation is on the verge of collapse. Not to mention the family business and reputation, even his life is at stake. The thousands of lives in the Bai Family are all hanging by a thread, and could be destroyed at any time …"
He spoke in an extremely sorrowful manner, and the listeners could not help but sympathize with him. Yes, such a big family, such a big family business, had fallen to such a state.
However, XiMen Qing, who had a grudge against the Bai Family, said coldly, "Your Bai Family reaped what you sowed. If it weren't for your father's massacre in Huai Chuan, how could your Bai Family have fallen to such a state?"
Bai Zhenming abruptly turned his head and glared at XiMen Qing. His face was filled with rage as he roared, "No!"
The Earth Extinction Saber Master was shocked. He immediately pressed down on the hilt of his saber and glared. "If you are not, then show us the evidence. Now, there are witnesses and material evidence. This senior is one of the people involved. Can you prove it to him?!"
Bai Zhenming glanced at Sun Lang, and a dejected expression appeared on his face as he slumped to the ground, not saying a word.
XiMen Qing sneered. "What? Nothing to say?
You reap what you sow. I advise you not to say anything useless. Hurry up and explain your father's crimes. Or, you can call him out! "
Bai Zhenming sat on the ground and suddenly laughed bitterly. Two lines of tears flowed down from his eyes.
He closed his eyes and said painfully, "My father … can't come out to meet guests anymore.
He has already … gone mad. "
Everyone was shocked. Even XiMen Qing could not help but widen his eyes and exclaim, "What?"
Yang Tiandu was so shocked that he almost flew up. He looked at Sun Lang and was shocked. The Gold Radiance Sword Sage had gone mad?
Could it be that he did it too?
However, he saw that Sun Lang's face also showed a surprised expression. There was a hint of realization in his surprise, as if he had understood something.
Yes, it shouldn't be him. He said before that there was something wrong with this matter. He should have noticed that Bai Yuwei's condition was not right, but he did not know that he had gone mad. So now that he heard it, he understood.
No, wait. Didn't he collude with the Bai Clan?
How could he not know about this? Then why was he surprised? This guy is so good at acting!
In a moment, Hero Yang's mind turned and he quickly understood the matter.
Then, he laughed at himself in his heart.
F * ck, am I possessed? Although this guy is terrifying and can even defeat Bai Yu Wei, how can he make a dignified Sword Saint go crazy … ….
Hero Yang sighed in his heart, but the other side was in an uproar. The remaining twenty or so martial artists were shocked when they heard this.
That was the Gold Radiance Sword Sage, the number one martial artist of the generation who won the War of Heaven's Origin. He was a living legend in the army and was revered by everyone. Even these people who came looking for trouble maintained the greatest respect for him.
How could such an earth-shattering, world-renowned figure … go mad?
XiMen Qing was the first to react. He said loudly, "Don't try to fool us with this!
You say that he's gone mad, and this matter is over?
Then the hundreds of lives can be written off just like that? "
Reverend Zi Mo waved his hand and said, "Benefactor Bai, this matter involves too many things. It's difficult for us to believe your one-sided story … How long ago did Old Master Bai go mad?"
Bai Zhenming's spirit was a little weak, but everyone could understand. Bai Yuwei was the biggest pillar of the Bai family. If this pillar collapsed, it would be equivalent to the collapse of the Bai family.
He was silent for a moment and then said calmly, "Two years ago, after the victory of the war, my father returned home in glory. At that time, he had some mental problems, and his physical condition was not as good as before …"
Everyone looked at each other. XiMen Qing said coldly, "So, what you mean is that your father went mad two years ago, and that's why he couldn't go to Huaichuan to kill people?"
Bai Zhenming looked at him sadly and said sadly, "No, the Huaichuan Massacre was indeed committed by my father."
Sun Lang's expression did not change. He listened attentively and changed to a more comfortable position, as if he was watching a live show.
Hero Yang knew the details, so he was also watching Bai Zhenming's performance. When he heard this, his expression changed slightly. Wow, how could he expose his father's mental illness and admit that he was the murderer?
Didn't you want to shift the blame to the Tensei Province?
If you admit to this, even if you succeed in shifting the blame, your father's reputation will be tarnished. In order to deal with the Tensei Province, you're even willing to throw away your father's reputation?
He was thinking about the "collusion" between Sun Lang and the Bai family. He thought to himself, "Looks like they're going to shift all the blame to the Tensei Province. They're even going to shift the blame to the Tensei Province for Bai Yuwei's mental illness …"
Insidious, insidious indeed.
However, how did Bai Yuwei go mad?
He was the Seven Luminaries Grand Swordmaster, one of the top martial artists in the Empire. Martial artists had a strong will and were extraordinary. Bai Yuwei was a dragon among men. How could he go mad so easily?
After hearing Bai Zhenming's confession, the crowd exploded again. As a loyal supporter of the Bai family, XiMen Qing took on the role of interrogator. He asked, "It's good that you admitted it, but so what?
Are you saying that your father is crazy and has lost his mind? That's why he can't control himself and doesn't need to pay with his life for killing someone? "
Bai Zhenming smiled bitterly. "A life for a life is a matter of course. However, in this world, other than a life for a life, there's also the principle of a son paying for a father's debt."
Master Zhiying immediately said, "Amitabha. Mr. Bai, don't be rash. Even if you take the blame on behalf of your father and pay with your life, it won't solve any problems …"
What the hell, if he forced Bai Yuwei to die here, he wouldn't be able to explain himself even if he had eight mouths.
Unexpectedly, Bai Zhenming forced a smile. "Master, don't worry. I won't put you in an unjust situation. Even if I have to pay with my life, it won't be right now."
Then, he said softly with a sorrowful expression, "Maybe I won't even have the chance to kill myself …"
XiMen Qing said impatiently, "What do you mean?
What are you trying to say? "
Bai Zhenming took a deep breath and tried to speak as calmly as possible. "Today, I'll tell you everything I know. The Huaichuan incident was indeed my father's doing. The men of the Bai Family always keep their promises and will never shirk responsibility or quibble.
However, have you ever thought about it? With my father's status and identity, why would he go to Huaichuan and kill someone for no reason? If my father is crazy, why would he travel thousands of miles to Huaichuan to kill someone? "
Hearing this, Yang Tiandu shouted in his heart, 'It's here!
It's here!
He's going to shift the blame! '
Master Zhiying and the others nodded slowly. Bai Yuwei's motive was the biggest doubt in this case.
Taoist Master Bai said, "Amitabha … Mr. Bai, are you saying that there's more to this than meets the eye?"
Bai Zhenming nodded slowly and said through gritted teeth, "After the Huaichuan incident, the martial world was in turmoil. Heroes from all sects and clans gathered as fast as they could to interrogate the Bai Family about the incident. Rumors were everywhere and chaos was everywhere. The imperial court sat on the fence and Qin Province pretended to be deaf and dumb. Don't you think that everything is going too smoothly?"
Everyone was shocked again.
Bai Zhenming clenched his fists and closed his eyes. He said with difficulty, "All of this is a conspiracy, a conspiracy against the Bai Family.
The Huaichuan incident was caused by my crazy father being manipulated by someone. Then, there were rumors, framing, and framing. The mastermind behind all of this is behind all of this, including the fact that all of you are standing here today. Everything is part of the conspiracy … "
Some of the martial world's heroes who came to the Bai Family Fort were in the know. They were shocked when they heard this. 'Isn't he talking about Tensei Province?
What's the use of this? '
A cold glint flashed across XiMen Qing's eyes. "A conspiracy?
The mastermind?
Who is it?
Don't you dare come up with lies to fool us. "
Bai Zhenming shook his head and said, "Don't all of you have solid evidence for coming to the Bai Family Fort to settle the score?
Without solid evidence, why would I reveal my father's condition to all of you? Why would I admit that my father was the culprit of the Huaichuan Incident?
The disciples of the Bai Family are indomitable and upright. We will admit what we have done. If we are framed, we will not let our enemies off easily even if we die! "
XiMen Qing's expression softened slightly. He said calmly, "Then tell us their names."
"You must be familiar with this person."
Bai Zhenming raised his head. His expression was calm and his eyes were indifferent. It was as if he was a monk who had seen through everything and accepted his fate.
He looked at Sun Lang.
His tone was light and flat.
"It's him."
