Chapter 722: Chapter 308 Public Trial_2
Everyone’s gaze was fixed as their expressions shifted uncertainly.
The Qilin Swordsman majestically took his seat, flung his sleeve, and addressed the assassin:
“Your reputation is quite notable, the Resounding Drum has been sounded for your sake.
“Now that everyone who should and shouldn’t be here in Wusheng Hall has arrived, speak your piece clearly in front of everyone.
“Make it clear, and Su, the Chief of the Escort may with a flick of his hand end your life pleasantly upon his happiness.
“If your words are unclear and you recklessly slander… heh, not to mention what methods Su, the Chief of the Escort has, my Wusheng Hall will make your life worse than death.”
The assassin stood there, surveying his surroundings with a slight smile:
“Have I not already spoken what should be said?
“The one who instructed me to assassinate Ding Wugong is none other than the Great Hall Master of Wusheng Hall… Wan Yutang!!”
“Bullshit!”
Although they had already heard this from Li Zhongming and were somewhat prepared, hearing it directly still made some people uncontrollably angry and slam the table.
Others pointed fingers and said:
“You’ve got some nerve! What kind of person do you think our Great Hall Master of Wusheng Hall is?
“How could he tolerate such defamation from you?”
“Defamation?”
The man shook his head gently: “With my impending death certain, I simply seek a quick end, why would I falsely malign others now?”
“A dying man’s words are kind; a dying bird’s call is sad.
“Now that he believes his death is certain, logically, there is indeed no reason for him to slander others.
“However, without evidence, such good words are still insufficient to be trusted.
“Immediately, a person stood up, and he was Duan Qinghen, the Hall Master of the Eighth Hall.
He looked at the assassin and said coldly:
“Alright, since you claim the Great Hall Master directed you.
“Then I ask you, why would the Great Hall Master want to assassinate Ding Wugong?”
“This is naturally because the Great Hall Master did not want this man to misspeak.”
The assassin looked at Ding Wugong: “Perhaps many of you are unaware that aside from the Twelfth Halls, there also exists a Dark Hall in Wusheng Hall.
“This Ding Wugong came from there.
“Within the territory of Wusheng Hall, everyone says Ding Wugong is Wusheng Hall’s dog.
“Specially dealing with some disgraceful matters for Wusheng Hall…
“Though these words are not entirely accurate, they are not entirely defamation either.
“To be precise, Ding Wugong does not handle disgraceful affairs for Wusheng Hall, but for the Great Hall Master!”
“Dark Hall?”
Immediately, faces were unsettled and people whispered among themselves.
The assassin didn’t give them much more time to digest the information.
He continued:
“And this time, the disgraceful affair Ding Wugong did for the Great Hall Master, was against Su, the Chief of the Escort.
“Unexpectedly, before he could complete his task, he was captured by Su, the Chief of the Escort.
“And brought to Wusheng Hall, to confront Ren Xiongfei.
“Ren Xiongfei was completely unaware of it.
“Should a confrontation truly occur, Ding Wugong would undoubtedly be made speechless by Ren Xiongfei.
“The Great Hall Master feared that at that moment, Ding Wugong, in his desperation, might slip and leak the news.
“If Su, the Chief of the Escort learned that the person instructing Ding Wugong to poison Vice Leader Yang was actually him, Wan Yutang…
“Then our Great Hall Master would have no reason to live.
“Therefore, he harbored the intent to kill Ding Wugong.
“Last night, the Fourth Hall Master Wu Yong tragically died in his bedroom.
“Xing Lan heard this news and thought it was the deed of the people from the Tenth Hall.
“Since the matter involved Su, the Chief of the Escort, he naturally went to watch the excitement.
“This was the best opportunity to kill Ding Wugong.
“And from the moment Su, the Chief of the Escort smashed the bedroom door to leaving the residence for the Tenth Hall, there was a gap.
“To immediately disguise as a carpenter and deceive the leading disciple and other carpenters, unless it was an order from the Great Hall Master, who else could easily plant an assassin among them?”
With these words, the assassin finally stopped talking.
However, in the hall, people couldn’t help but look at each other.
If one were to slightly piece together the words of the assassin, it indicated that Wan Yutang controlled the Dark Hall and directed Ding Wugong to harm Su Mo.
Now that Su Mo had arrived in Wusheng Hall, Wan Yutang feared the leaked news, thus sent someone to assassinate Ding Wugong.
If the whole matter was viewed this way, indeed, there seemed to be no issue.
But even at this point, it was still difficult to convince the crowd.
Then the middle-aged man sitting in the second position to the left side of the hall quietly spoke up:
“Complete nonsense.”
“Hmm?”
The assassin looked up at the man:
“Are you Bei Changzhi?”
Bei Changzhi didn’t look at him, but glanced at Su Mo and slightly cupped his hands:
“Su, the Chief of the Escort, this man speaks nonsense, his verbal declarations are completely illogical, please discern the truth.”
“Hmm… North Hall Master, you are courteous.”
Su Mo returned the gesture and then spoke:
“However, I find this man’s words quite coherent and reasonable.
“But, North Hall Master, what make你 es you say otherwise?”
“Su, the Chief of the Escort is the foremost person in Donghuang, unparalleled in both wisdom and martial arts.
“It’s not hard to see that there is yet a key aspect he never mentioned in his words.”
“Hmm? I would like to hear the details.”
“Reason.”
Bei Changzhi stood up, glanced at the assassin, then spoke:
“You keep saying that my Great Hall Master of Wusheng Hall intends to harm Su, the Chief of the Escort.
“But I would ask you one thing, Wusheng Hall dominates one area, steadfastly holding one ground.
“Su, the Chief of the Escort has friends all over, and his chivalrous reputation shakes Donghuang.
