Chapter 79: Evil, something happened to you(1/2)
Shocked, disappointed, unbelievable, this is Zhou Daoyi's expression and mood at this moment.
He listened to Zhou Chun's words, and never expected that Zhou Chun's object of suspicion would be Zhou Zhengkang, the foundation-building seed that was cultivated by the family's focus!
This result left him very shocked and incredible.
He felt very unwilling to see Zhou Chun's suspicion come true.
But he carefully chewed Zhou Chun's words and found that the speculation result, which combined facts and speculation, was very reasonable and could not be completely denied.
For a moment, he was stunned there and had not spoken for a long time.
Zhou Chun observed his words and expressions and knew that it was a fact that he could not accept his suspicion, and was even more worried about what decisions he made that were unfavorable to him.
So after hesitating, he made another suggestion: "Actually, if you want to verify that the younger generation's doubts are true and false without hurting Brother Qi's trust in the family, it is very simple. You just need to ask the Supreme Elder if he has given him honey flower tea recently."
"If the Supreme Elder gave me a lot of honey flower tea to Brother Qi, then Brother Qi would drink honey flower tea alone in the study, it would be a normal thing that could be explained, and it proves that the younger generation is thinking too much."
Zhou Chun’s suggestion is actually very risky.
Because once the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde, whether it is true or false, recognizes this matter and protects Zhou Zhengkang, his suspicion will be untenable.
But Zhou Chun still did this.
The reason is very simple. He must not let Zhou Daoyi feel that he was jealous of Zhou Zhengkang.
Another thing is that he was actually 80% sure to determine that the other party was a traitor through Zhou Zhengkang's previous performance.
Even if the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde returns to protect him and help him escape from danger this time, as long as he increases his surveillance of him in the future, he will not be afraid of not being able to catch the evidence of his collusion with outsiders.
Until this time, even Zhou Chun himself had never thought that Zhou Zhengkang would be the murderer who killed Zhou Jiahui.
After listening to Zhou Chun’s suggestion, Zhou Daoyi also came to his senses and nodded repeatedly and said, “Zhengchun, your suggestion is very good. I will go to the Supreme Elder to verify this matter.”
After saying that, he looked solemnly and said to Zhou Chun with a solemn expression: "In addition, don't tell anyone what you said today except me, even other elders and Supreme Elders can't do it, do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand!"
Zhou Chun felt a sudden heart and immediately responded seriously.
He knew in his heart that it was Zhou Daoyi protecting himself.
Next time, Zhou Chun was sent back to Baozhifeng and waited for news.
After sending Zhou Chun away, Zhou Daoyi also pondered alone in the "Zhongping Hall" for several hours before finally calming down his mind and adjusting himself.
Then he went to the Cave of Zhou Mingde, the Supreme Elder on the top of the pagoda peak.
"The patriarch came to my husband's place today. Is there something wrong with the family?"
In the cave, Zhou Mingde looked at Zhou Daoyi who had no trouble climbing to the Three Treasures Hall and asked him about his purpose.
The Supreme Elder, who is usually devoted to cultivation, only cares about family affairs. He usually only comes to ask him when he encounters things that Zhou Daoyi and others cannot solve, or may not make a decision easily.
So he knew very well that Zhou Daoyi came to see him without asking for instructions in advance, and he must have encountered something.
Faced with his inquiry, Zhou Daoyi nodded first, then shook his head and said, "There is indeed something small in the family, but it's not a problem for you. I'm here to see my uncle today because I want to ask you for some honey tea for guests!"
"Ask honey tea to entertain guests?"
Zhou Mingde was slightly stunned, then looked at Zhou Daoyi carefully and looked at him.
He couldn't help but shook his head and said, "I don't have much honey tea anymore. When I first came to Jingguo, we gave gifts everywhere, but we emptied most of the inventory in my hands. Now I have less than two bottles left in my hands!"
When Zhou Daoyi heard this, he frowned.
"Even uncle, you have no hands?"
Then he nodded and said, "The younger generation should think of a solution from other tribesmen. I remember that boy Zhengkang also got some honey tea from his family before. He is young, so this thing should still be kept in his hands!"
Unexpectedly, when Zhou Mingde heard him, he shook his head and said, "Don't count on Zhengkang. After he drank it once in my place two years ago, he begged me to give him half a bottle. How could I give him so much? In the end, he only gave him two pills to satisfy his cravings!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhou Daoyi's face change suddenly.
He instantly shouted with anger on his face: "It seems that it's him!!"
Such a change also caused Zhou Mingde's expression to change drastically. He looked at him with a serious expression and asked repeatedly: "What is he really? What did you hide?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Daoyi immediately took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone: "Uncle Mingjian, it is not that I was deliberately hiding it just now, but that I really dare not let you know easily before this matter is confirmed!"
"But now everything is clear, and I can only tell you the truth to you, my uncle!"
Then, from the disappearance of Zhou Jiahui, how to find people to the Zhou family, how to investigate traitors, how Zhou Chun deduces and judges that Zhou Zhengkang is the most suspicious through the clue of "Honey Flower Tea".
He directly reported all the clues and suspicions to Zhou Mingde.
Just like when Zhou Daoyi first heard Zhou Chun say that Zhou Zhengkang was a suspect, he had such a big reaction.
When Zhou Mingde heard that his favorite junior was actually a family traitor, he was shocked and incredible.
In particular, he had no intuitive impression of Zhou Chun. It was only because Zhou Chun won the top ten youth group in the five major immortal cultivation families' fighting competitions, as well as the discoverers of Chiyao Iron Ore Vein, that he knew that there was such a good junior among the younger generation of the family.
At this time, he heard that Zhou Daoyi suspected that Zhou Zhengkang was a family traitor based on such speculation and judgment of a junior in his twenties. He felt very absurd and furious.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Just because of a teapot that has been brewed with honey flower tea in Zhengkang's study, I suspect that he betrayed the family and murdered his elders. Don't you think this matter is ridiculous?"
"And the junior you mentioned, how did you know that he was not jealous of Zhengkang's treatment in the family, and that Zhengkang was about to take the foundation-building pill to build the foundation, so he would throw dirty water on Zhengkang like this?"
"Is it reasonable for you to doubt the foundation-building seeds of a family?"
Zhou Mingde glared at Zhou Daoyi with a frightened look on his face, his tone was very fierce.
No wonder he is like this.
After all, as a descendant of his brother, Zhou Zhengkang has been loved by him as his descendant since he was a child, and he also placed high hopes on him.
Now that he heard that Zhou Daoyi had no actual evidence, he suspected that his beloved descendants betrayed the family. How could he not be frightened and angry?
But Zhou Daoyi had been thinking calmly for several hours in the "Zhongping Hall", and at this time, he seemed very calm when facing his expected reaction.
I saw that Zhou Daoyi was not in a hurry to argue with him, but looked at him with a heavy expression and said, "Uncle, please calm down first. I know that you love Zhengkang very much. Over the years, I have paid more attention and support to him than you. You will not disagree with this!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingde opened his mouth and could not refute it.
Twenty years ago, he had just broken through the Purple Mansion and was busy getting familiar with this realm and practicing magic diligently. He really had no time to take care of Zhou Zhengkang, so he could only ask the patriarch Zhou Daoyi, the clan leader, to take care of him.
Later, after the Zhou family took root in Jiufengling, he also knew the importance of the Zhou family today and felt that he had a great responsibility. Therefore, he had been practicing hard and had no time to take special care of Zhou Zhengkang.
In addition, Zhou Zhengkang had grown up at that time, so he just needed to give more treasures and occasionally call them to his side to give them some advice.
At this time when he could not refute his words, Zhou Daoyi also felt certain and continued: "You said we doubt Zhengkang without any evidence, which is obviously wrong."
"Zhengkang happened to have left the family on the day Jiahui left. And Jiahui had just left for a while, and he came to me and said he wanted to go out to relax. This time of relaxation was too coincidental!"
"There is also the time when Zhengchun witnessed him coming out of the Spirit Beast Pavilion before. At that time, wasn't it just a few days since the Qinglian Temple recruited disciples, and you and I had just lifted the confinement order on him?"
"At that time, when I went to the Spirit Beast Pavilion, was this the same thing as the past relaxing?"
"There is also the fragrance of honey tea that Zheng Chun smelled in his study. Uncle, you and I know that drinking tea in the study can only be done by yourself, and that teapot must have just been brewed for less than a day!"
"And this happened to be more than ten days after Jiahui disappeared."
"You have also said that you have never given him much honey tea, and there is only spiritual honey for sale in the Lingbeast Pavilion, and honey tea is not sold directly. So where does this honey tea come from? Can you explain it clearly for him?"
"There is another thing. Since he came back from going out to today, he has asked me how many times he could get the Foundation Building Pill. If I hadn't doubted him before, I wouldn't think too much about this, but now I dare not think too much about what his purpose is!"
It can be clearly seen that every time Zhou Daoyi said something, Zhou Mingde's expression became a little ugly, and his anger also diminished.
After Zhou Daoyi finished explaining all the information, the anger on his face almost disappeared.
Before Zhou Daoyi finished speaking, he quickly continued: "The younger generation thinks that Zhengkang is quite familiar with this child. He has good talent and qualifications, but because of this, he has developed his pride and always believed that his future achievements will definitely be more than the younger generation, and may not even be less than the Purple Mansion Period!"
"It's nothing. If young people are not young and energetic, they won't call them young people. Who is not as tall as they are when they are young? "
"But you also know that the incident where we stopped him from worshiping Qinglian Temple had a great blow to him, and even made him feel that we were blocking his path!"
"Of course, you and I know that after he builds the foundation in the future, he will gradually understand how difficult it is to open up the Purple Mansion later, and how rare it is to be useful to the monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage. He will naturally figure out these things at that time, so he doesn't care much about his naive ideas."
Speaking of this, Zhou Daoyi couldn't help but smile and sighed deeply: "But now it seems that he is really possible to do stupid things that neither you nor I think he can do! There will always be abnormal people doing things that normal people can't do!"
Only Zhou Daoyi himself knew how much sadness and sorrow was filled with in this last sentence.
If there weren't too many clues pointing to Zhou Zhengkang, Zhou Daoyi wouldn't believe that Zhou Zhengkang, as the seed of the family's foundation building, would actually betray the family!
I am afraid that if you tell me this kind of thing, few people in the Zhou family will believe it or dare to believe it.
Because Zhou Zhengkang's conditions are really excellent, with his excellent spiritual talent and excellent background, combined with these two, he is destined to become one of the most powerful people in the Zhou family in the future, and it is even very likely that the word "one" will be removed.
With such good conditions, only if a normal person has a bad mind will he think of betraying his family and leaving his family.
"Although I still find it hard to believe that Zhengkang will do that, but since you have already believed in this matter, I can ask you to verify the authenticity. What are you going to do?"
Zhou Mingde looked at Zhou Daoyi with a complicated face in front of him. After a while of silence, he still made a decision that suited his identity.
He was able to stand up and take the lead and lead the Zhou family monks to Jiufengling to build a foundation. He had no doubt about the loyalty and love of the Zhou family.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Therefore, even if he is hard to believe in the fact that Zhou Zhengkang would betray his family, after Zhou Daoyi, the patriarch who is also trusted and trusted, has expressed his intention to investigate the matter, he will not forcibly stop it for his own personal affair.
However, this kind of investigation and verification must be carried out under his supervision.
Zhou Daoyi also understood this, so he quickly said: "This is very simple. If Zheng Kang is such a stupid and unconscious idiot, we just need to call him over and search him in front of him. At that time, under the gaze of uncle and younger generation, as long as the clues pointed to him are true, he will not be able to show his voice at all!"
"Okay, then do that!"
Zhou Mingde's eyebrows trembled, and he immediately went to the "Zhongping Hall" with Zhou Daoyi, and then watched Zhou Daoyi assigning the big blue parrot "Lanlan" to summon Zhou Zhengkang.
