Chapter 213 The murderer confesses himself
Seeing Zhao Mingyuan suddenly stand up, the Beggar Clan disciples were naturally not surprised, but everyone who followed later was more surprised.
Madam Ma asked: "I wonder what the surname of this young master is? Could it be that he is also from the Murong family in Gusu?"
Obviously, he had this misunderstanding because he saw Zhao Mingyuan and A'Zhu standing together.
Zhao Mingyuan just replied calmly: "I am Zhao Mingyuan, he is just a nobody in the world. Madam must have never heard of him."
Many people were speechless after hearing his words, and the four elders couldn't help but curl their lips.
Although he is indeed not famous in the world, can someone who can defeat Qiao Feng be considered a nobody?
So who are we? Are we worse than pawns?
Although Madam Ma did not understand Zhao Mingyuan's identity, she had always been astute and had already guessed from the attitude of the surrounding Beggar Clan disciples towards Zhao Mingyuan that he was definitely something special.
Therefore, she naturally did not dare to be rude and dismissed him with the same attitude towards A'Zhu just now. Then she asked, "I wonder if you have any questions, sir?"
Zhao Mingyuan said: "I have some doubts about the truth behind the death of Deputy Gang Leader Ma. I hope Mrs. Ma can clear up your doubts."
Elder Xu listened to Zhao Mingyuan's question, but said in a very unfriendly manner: "What do you mean? Are you interrogating the prisoner? Your Excellency does not have to worry about the affairs of our gang."
Elder Chen on the side said hurriedly: "Although Mr. Zhao is not well-known in the world, his martial arts skills are outstanding. Even compared to 'North Qiao Feng, Nan Murong', he is by no means inferior."
After hearing this, everyone who came late and didn't see Zhao Mingyuan take action was shocked.
Judging from Elder Chen's appearance, he was definitely not exaggerating his praise, but telling the truth. And the attitude of everyone around him clearly acquiesced in this matter.
I didn't expect that this young man with no reputation in the world would actually have such martial arts. It's really unbelievable.
However, no matter whether they believe it or not, no one dares to look down upon it anymore.
If Zhao Mingyuan was asked to stop caring about the Beggar Clan, no one would care.
Then, Zhao Mingyuan pointed out the flaws in Mrs. Ma's words one by one.
"First of all, Qiao Feng didn't know his life experience at all, so how could he kill Deputy Gang Leader Ma?"
This question that A'Zhu asked just now was ignored by Madam Ma, and then she cleverly changed the subject. Now, Zhao Mingyuan asked her directly again, but she could no longer escape easily.
"Secondly, with Qiao Feng's skills, even if he is a thief, how can he leave something behind?"
"Besides, you can tell from Qiao Feng's dressing style that he will never carry this folding fan with him. Even if this folding fan is very important to him, he will only treasure it. In this case, if it is obtained by others,
, it’s not difficult to frame someone and frame them.”
“In the end, it’s time and place.
Where was Qiao Feng when Deputy Gang Leader Ma died?
As the leader of the gang, Qiao Feng's whereabouts are almost transparent in the eyes of the beggar gang.
When Deputy Gang Leader Ma was killed, Qiao Feng was there. I believe everyone can find out after checking.
Let's check and see if he has the opportunity to commit the crime?"
"I would also like to ask everyone from the Beggar Clan to investigate these questions and clarify them for everyone. After all, these questions are related to the death of Deputy Gang Leader Ma. Once these questions are solved, perhaps the identity of the murderer will be revealed!"
Even the disciples of the Beggar Clan who were most concerned about the differences between Hu and Han found these words reasonable. Regardless of whether Qiao Feng was a Khitan or not, the real culprit of Deputy Gang Leader Ma must be found out.
That's all the other questions Zhao Mingyuan mentioned. Although it seems to make some sense, it can only be regarded as inference and there is no solid evidence.
But the last question, Qiao Feng’s whereabouts, is too easy for the Beggar Gang to find out.
Immediately, someone spoke up and said: "When Deputy Gang Leader Ma was killed, Gang Leader Qiao was in the northwest fighting against the masters of Xixia Yipintang. The two places are thousands of miles apart. It is absolutely impossible to kill people in Luoyang."
Many people also responded in agreement.
In fact, Qiao Feng's prestige in the Beggar Clan is extremely high.
However, in the Song Dynasty, the concepts of the distinction between Hu and Han and the distinction between Yi and Di were widely circulated.
Therefore, even Qiao Feng could not get support after his identity as a Khitan was exposed.
However, because of Qiao Feng's personality charm, as long as it does not involve external parties, even today, there are many supporters of him among the Beggar Clan.
Qiao Feng was quite moved when he heard the disciples of the Beggar Clan speaking up to support him. He thought to himself that he was in a state of confusion now. If Mr. Zhao could investigate the case, clear himself of his grievances, and clear his name, it would really be a help to him.
It's a big job for myself.
Hearing many disciples of the Beggar Clan reveal Qiao Feng's whereabouts proved that Ma Dayuan's death was not his fault. Elder Xu, Mrs. Ma and the others finally felt that they were in trouble.
That's right, the evidence they provided was all groundless. It was just based on Qiao Feng's identity. Now that Zhao Mingyuan has presented some solid evidence, they have no way to overturn it.
However, Mrs. Ma was astute and came up with an alternative solution.
Just listen to Mrs. Ma say: "Qiao Feng has been in charge of the Beggar Gang for many years and has one or two die-hard loyalists. It is very possible that he can handle this matter for him. Or maybe he colluded with the Murong family and asked Nan Murong to help.
?”
Zhao Mingyuan smiled slightly when he heard this.
This statement is wonderful! No one can prove that it is true, but there is no way to disprove it and say it is false.
However, this just made it easier for Zhao Mingyuan to say what he said next.
Only Zhao Mingyuan continued to say: "I said before that Deputy Gang Leader Ma may have faked the traces of murder after being charmed by someone. Therefore, the murderer is most likely an acquaintance of his. That's why Deputy Gang Leader Ma was unprepared, so
Hit."
Zhao Mingyuan said while observing the changes in their expressions.
After hearing Zhao Mingyuan's words, Mrs. Ma did not behave abnormally, which was indeed rare.
On the other hand, Bai Shijing lowered his head unconsciously, obviously his mental quality was inferior to Mrs. Ma's.
Of course, it could also be that he has a higher moral bottom line.
In fact, except for colluding with Mrs. Ma, who had to be killed after being discovered by Ma Dayuan. In other respects, Bai Shijing did not seem to have done anything bad.
Of course, this may also have something to do with the fact that he is in charge of the punishment of the Beggar Clan. However, it is also obvious that Mrs. Ma is very harmful to others. If it were not for her lack of good looks, she would be second to Lin Xianer.
Zhao Mingyuan took advantage of the situation and said: "Since Mrs. Ma said, the murderer may be Qiao Feng's diehard loyalist.
Not to mention whether this matter is true or not, but the combination of these two factors shows that the person who did it is probably a member of the Beggar Clan who is very familiar with Deputy Gang Leader Hema.
The Beggar Clan is always well-informed. You can check the members of the Beggar Clan who were in Luoyang when Deputy Gang Leader Ma was in trouble.
Of course, I am talking about someone who is very familiar with Deputy Gang Leader Ma and has the ability to take action.
I dare not say that he is the murderer, but at least he is a possible suspect."
Regarding the matter of the murderer of Deputy Gang Leader Ma, the Beggars Clan did not cover up the matter. The disciple responsible for inquiring about the information quickly reported several names, all of which were senior members of the Beggar Clan who were in Luoyang at the time.
The others were nothing, but the name of one of them was extremely special. After he said it, many Beggar Clan disciples had very strange expressions on their faces.
This person is none other than Bai Shijing, the law enforcement elder of the Beggar Clan.
Everyone present looked at Bai Shijing, but only saw a dull face.
However, Bai Shijing, as the law enforcement elder of the Beggar Clan, has always been serious about words and deeds, so no one noticed anything unusual.
However, everyone in the Beggar Clan knows that Bai Shijing has always been a staunch supporter of Qiao Feng. Even after hearing the rumors about Qiao Feng's life experience, he did not waver. He can be said to be Qiao Feng's die-hard loyalist.
Everyone couldn't help but wonder, is Mrs. Ma's guess true?
Bai Shijing was Qiao Feng's diehard loyalist. In order to keep Qiao Feng's position as gang leader, he concealed the secret of Qiao Feng's life experience, so he actually killed deputy gang leader Ma.
Even Qiao Feng was a little surprised. Of course, he knew that he did not and could not order Bai Shijing to kill people.
However, Bai Shijing's appearance in Luoyang is indeed somewhat conspicuous.
Therefore, Qiao Feng asked: "I wonder what the law enforcement elder was doing in Luoyang at that time? Was he looking for Deputy Gang Leader Ma?"
Before Bai Shijing could answer, Zhao Mingyuan on the side said: "Presumably Elder Bai went to find Deputy Gang Leader Ma. After all, the only important member of the Beggar Clan in Luoyang is Deputy Gang Leader Ma. Didn't Elder Bai go to find Deputy Gang Leader Ma?
Or maybe we can go find Mrs. Ma to eat moon cakes?"
Listening to Zhao Mingyuan's joking words, many members of the Beggar Clan sounded extremely dissatisfied.
Isn't this disrespectful to the widow of Vice Gang Leader Ma?
Unexpectedly, Bai Shijing suddenly turned his head and stared at Zhao Mingyuan closely.
Zhao Mingyuan continued calmly: "I wonder if Elder Bai likes to eat sweet mooncakes or salty mooncakes?"
Bai Shijing didn't answer, just stared at Zhao Mingyuan and asked, "Who are you?"
Zhao Mingyuan said: "Does it matter who I am? If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing!"
Bai Shijing understood that no matter what Zhao Mingyuan's identity was, it really didn't matter anymore.
Zhao Mingyuan's words have already hinted that he knows everything clearly. At least, he already knows what happened between Bai Shijing and Mrs. Ma.
Therefore, Bai Shijing is destined to be ruined no matter what.
In this case, Bai Shijing glanced at Qiao Feng and prepared to tell the truth.
In fact, as an elder of the Beggar Clan, Bai Shijing has always been fair and strict, and he did only do one wrong thing.
It's a pity that one mistake will lead to eternal regret, and it will be irreparable if you look back.
"Yes, I did kill Deputy Gang Leader Ma." Bai Shijing admitted directly.
This statement was even more shocking.
Bai Shijing has been in charge of the Beggar Clan's execution hall for decades. He has always been upright and enforces the law fairly. Although many disciples in the Beggar Clan are afraid of him, they have to admire Bai Shijing's fairness and strict self-discipline.
Although, someone had previously pointed out that he was in Luoyang at the time and was one of the suspects who killed Deputy Gang Leader Ma. Everyone was just confused, and most people didn't really believe that he was the murderer.
Those are just some suspicions, there is no evidence.
Unexpectedly, he admitted it directly like this.
Everyone felt very strange.
