Crossing the Sword

Chapter 111 The Truth (Part )

After listening, Hei Di nodded. He naturally knew that what Ye Shisan said was true. In fact, he knew more than Ye Shisan. After all, he had been grudged with Gonggong, the water god, for a long time. He knew more about the First Snake Clan under Gonggong than some of the First Snake Clan members themselves. So when he heard the symptoms of the wound and asked for confirmation, he was sure that the murderer must be a member of the First Snake Clan without even looking at the body. The accurate judgment brought by this experience is hard to match even if Zhang Tianya is smart.

After listening to Ye Shisan's analysis, he became curious about Ye Shisan. He asked again, "What about the report letter? Although Yaqi has a motive to kill, he has never met you, let alone any grudges. So why would he put the blame on you? This doesn't make sense, right?"

He asked this question because he wanted to stump Ye Shisan, and his question was very reasonable, so no one could find any excuse. But subconsciously, he hoped that Ye Shisan could answer fluently, because he had begun to appreciate Ye Shisan's extraordinary performance. He himself did not realize that he was very conflicted.

Ye Shisan certainly did not disappoint his "expectations" and immediately shook his head and said, "No, he certainly didn't intend to frame me, and the person who framed me was not Yaqi, but someone else."

The Black Emperor asked with interest, "You mean, Yaqi has an accomplice?" He was a little proud in his heart. No matter how smart Ye Shisan is, he still knows too few clues. Now I'm misleading you a little bit, don't you want to go astray?

Ye Shisan's answer surprised him: "In fact, they can't be called accomplices, but the real planners of this bloody case. Yaqi and Susano were just used by her."

Hearing this, Xue Jia's heart tightened. He naturally knew who wrote the letter. But he originally thought that even if Xue Ji was related to the case, she was at most used by someone to write a letter to frame Ye Shisan. How could he have imagined that Xue Ji was actually the planner of the whole bloody case. And Ye Shisan said so, of course he could also produce evidence, so it couldn't be false. Although from a father's perspective, it was difficult for him to accept the fact that Xue Ji was the planner of the conspiracy. However, he had a certain understanding of Ye Shisan and Xue Ji, so he could naturally tell whose words were more credible.

The Black Emperor was secretly shocked. With so few clues, Ye Shisan was able to analyze this. It was terrifying. However, he still asked calmly, "Oh? Who is so powerful that he can play with cunning men like Yaki and Susano?"

"This person is Xue Ji, the daughter of Mr. Xue!" Ye Shisan said shockingly. In front of everyone's astonishment, he continued, "Xue Ji is very smart. She wrote the letter with her left hand, and the letter paper was smoked with stinky tofu, which makes it difficult for people to find any clues through the letter. But she overlooked one thing, which is the flying knife used to deliver the letter. The flying knife has her fragrance left on it, and it is not difficult for people with high cultivation to smell it. In addition, Mr. Xue also has a sachet on his body, which was sewn by Xue Ji for him, and the same fragrance is left on it."

Although Xue Jia cares about his daughter, as a minister, his character will never allow him to lie. When he first knew that Xue Ji was a suspect, he only thought of using his own life to atone for Xue Ji's crime and ask the Black Emperor to spare Xue Ji's life. As for hiding the truth, he never thought about it. Seeing Ye Shisan said this, he sighed and stood up and said: "What Mr. Ye said is true. The sachet is still with me. General Ling has also confirmed that the fragrance is the same as the fragrance on the flying knife."

Hei Di nodded and said, "What I want to ask is still those two words, motivation."

Ye Shisan gave a slightly wry smile and said, "This is the only thing I haven't figured out completely in the whole incident. But I heard from General Ling that Old Xue once told him that Xue Ji was originally a very good and filial girl. But she suddenly changed a few years ago and became what she is now. Moreover, this change is related to Yaqi." He didn't explain it too clearly, but the whole Youdu knew about Xue Ji's reputation.

Heidi turned to Xue Jia and asked, "Mr. Xue, is this true?" Even Heidi respected Xue Jia's character.

Xuejia's face showed pain. Recalling the past, she seemed to have aged a lot. She sighed and said, "It was a few years ago when I was sick. Ji'er was very filial and went to Shuimu Hall to get it for me, but she didn't come back all night. When she came back the next day, she locked herself in the room and cried all day. Since then, she has changed."

When Xuejia said this, almost everyone present thought of what happened to Xueji that night. Men always have the richest associations with such things.

Xue Jia closed her eyes and shook her head, saying painfully: "But no matter how I asked, Ji'er refused to say anything. Afterwards, Yaqi came to Ji'er several times. At first, Ji'er deliberately avoided him, but later, the two of them gradually came into contact more and more. That's why I said that Ji'er's change must be related to Yaqi!"

Seeing Xue Jia about to burst into tears, Ye Shisan couldn't bear to let him continue, so he took over the conversation and said, "I think everyone should have thought of something now. Xue Ji was probably insulted by Yaqi, and then she gradually changed. The cruelest person in her heart should naturally be Yaqi."

"Nonsense!" Zhu Yin said disdainfully, "He hated Yaqi the most. Why did Shaji kill so many people? It seems that Yaqi was not among those people, right?"

Up to now, he was the one who loved to cause trouble the most. However, Yu Qiang, the Sea God who was also a very important figure in the San Miao Kingdom, just listened quietly without saying a word. In the past two days, Ye Shisan had not even heard his voice.

Ye Shisan looked at Zhu Yin with contempt, filtered out his provocative words, and continued his own words: "Xue Ji hates Yaqi so much, but still keeps in touch with him, which means that she must have something in Yaqi's hand. If she wants to get rid of Yaqi's entanglement, she must kill Yaqi, or at least make Yaqi never stand up! But she didn't have that kind of power, so she chose to endure it until she met me. I gave her a piece of jade. The spiritual power of that jade is very strong. If it is refined in the right way, it will definitely be able to be refined into a very powerful magic weapon."

Zhu Yin continued to sneer and said, "With such a fine jade, would you be willing to give it to her? From what I understand, you don't seem to have much interest in her, right?"

Ye Shisan spoke the truth: "But the appearance of that piece of jade, although not ugly, I hate it very much. So I bought it just to study it, and I didn't plan to use it myself. She asked for it, so I naturally had nothing to be reluctant to give it up. But even so, the gap between her and Yaqi is still too big, so she wants to find a helper, and that person is - Susano!"
