Chapter 141 Interrogation of the 2 Elders
The fifth elder lost hope in his eyes, looked at the clan leader dimly and said: "Since this is the case, I will not beg for mercy today. How do you plan to deal with me?"
Chu Qianyu did not reply to him, but looked at the people sitting in the hall, and then said word by word: "I called you here today, including the evidence I just showed you, to give you an explanation of how I dealt with the fifth elder, and also to remind you! If anyone is found to be secretly colluding with the royal family in the future, they will all be sentenced to death!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at the head of the Law Enforcement Hall and said, "As for the Fifth Elder, I still have some questions for him, so I will handle it myself! You immediately announce that the Fifth Elder has violated the clan rules and committed a capital crime. The Fifth Elder's position will be abolished immediately. The Fifth Elder's lineage will go there for training tomorrow, and a new elder will be elected to succeed him after one year!"
"As for the Fifth Elder's subordinates, they will be detained and interrogated by your Law Enforcement Hall personnel for the time being. Once the results are known, just inform Huai Ce of our academy. He will come to inform me."
"Yes, Patriarch, don't worry. We understand." The third elder, the fourth elder, the hall masters, and their subordinates all responded in unison.
Chu Qianyu nodded, and then he lifted his foot from the Fifth Elder's chest, "Huai Ce, have someone bring the Fifth Elder to Fuguang Tower for me."
After saying that, Chu Qianyu left Situ Mansion and headed towards Fuguang Tower. When she arrived there, Leng Qingzhou had already brought the second elder and was waiting there.
"Has the Fifth Elder confessed?" Leng Qingzhou saw someone coming and quickly stood up and asked.
"Well, admit that he was the one who led my family there. That makes sense. The masterminds were the Fourth Elder and the Emperor, and they were being used by someone."
"According to your previous interrogation of the Second Elder, he admitted that he secretly had someone give my parents and siblings drugs that would destroy their internal strength. But the Fifth Elder was not aware of this. Ask him later if he also believed the Fourth Elder's slander and led them to a place not far from Qingchuan Peak to destroy their martial arts."
"Without a powerful clan leader and the support of his descendants, my father's position as clan leader will certainly be lost. Even if I return from my training, my foundation will still be weak. By then, the Second Elder and the Fifth Elder will have the right to succeed the clan leader as they are direct descendants. We already know that the poison I was infected with was given to me by the Fourth Elder who tricked the Second Elder into giving me the poison."
When Chu Qianyu said this, a dark color flashed across her eyes, and then she snorted coldly, "It seems that the Fourth Elder, who is a concubine's son, is the most ambitious one. He openly supports the Second Elder, and secretly instigates the Fifth Elder. The Second Elder thought that he just wanted to make my father and his men lose their fighting power, so he poisoned them, and the Fifth Elder thought the same thing."
"But I never expected that my father and his men had already begun to lose strength when they were heading to Qingchuan Peak. So if they encountered the people ambushing there, they would definitely not be their match."
"So no matter whether the Second Elder or the Fifth Elder takes over in the future, the Fourth Elder will have a way to pull them down. The only one who will benefit in the end is him. Ha! What a good plan, what a good method."
Chu Qianyu had gone through all the information she had learned so far in her mind, and it suddenly dawned on her. It made sense to connect everything together.
Leng Qingzhou listened to her carefully, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "So we just need to guide the Second Elder to say whether it was the Fourth Elder who asked him to poison, and whether it was the Fourth Elder who asked the Fifth Elder to lead people to Qingchuan Peak. This way, we can be sure, right?"
Chu Qianyu nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. Since the Fifth Elder hasn't arrived yet, let's go ask the Second Elder. Once everything is confirmed, I will meet with the Fourth Elder tonight."
"it is good."
Then the two of them walked towards the dark prison in the back mountain.
The second elder was locked up in the innermost part of the dark cell. The place where Chu Qianyu had injured him earlier had almost recovered after these days. However, he was used by Leng Qingzhou to practice Gu, so he looked extremely haggard, as if he had been drained of his vitality.
He didn't react at all when he saw the two of them coming.
Chu Qianyu looked at Leng Qingzhou and asked, "What kind of poison did you put on me?"
Leng Qingzhou said confidently, "I know you want to interrogate him, so I added some other information. And it happens that his will is weak right now, so the effect will definitely be good. Just ask, what he says now is absolutely true! Trust me."
Chu Qianyu was somewhat interested after hearing this and asked, "What are the conditions for this thing? I may have to go to the palace in the next few days, what about you?"
"No, no, no, no. This is still a semi-finished product, sometimes good and sometimes not. I just happened to catch up this time. You should ask him quickly, maybe he will wake up later." Leng Qingzhou waved his hand quickly to reject it.
The willpower required to become the emperor is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people. Moreover, the emperor is extremely cautious. I am afraid that the medicine he has developed now will not be very effective on the emperor. It may even have a counterproductive effect.
Chu Qianyu rolled her eyes at him and said, "I just had high hopes for you. It seems I really overestimated you."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to signal Leng Qingzhou to shut up.
Leng Qingzhou was so angry that he was huffing and puffing. He was really good at getting angry. Humph! It was just a matter of time. He would definitely be able to do it in the future.
Chu Qianyu looked at the second elder and began to ask, "Did someone instigate you to poison the clan leader's lineage? Who gave you the poison?"
The second elder seemed to be controlled by something, his head began to shake uncontrollably, and he said slowly: "It was the fourth elder who let slip that there is a drug on the black market that can make people lose all their internal strength and martial arts. This drug does not cause any feeling at first, and the internal strength also disappears gradually, and it takes a month to completely disappear. I thought at the time that after the clan leader and their lineage lost all their martial arts, they would naturally have no chance of becoming clan leader."
"That's why we arranged for someone to secretly attack them all."
A trace of sadness flashed across Chu Qianyu's eyes, and she closed her eyes to suppress the bitterness in her heart.
He continued to ask: "Did you participate in the tribe leader's trip to Qingchuan Peak?"
The Second Elder shook his head and said, "I don't know. I only found out about this after they went there."
"It seems to be consistent with your guess." Leng Qingzhou said.
"Well, let's go." Chu Qianyu said and turned to walk out.
After leaving the cell, he took a deep breath and said, "Tell him to list all the people involved in this incident."
"Okay, no problem. But how are you going to deal with this?"
Chu Qianyu gritted her teeth, a hint of bloodlust flashed in her eyes, and then she said, "I am not a good person, and I will never be soft-hearted to those who have hurt my family. Although they were instructed by the Second Elder, they did it. There is no excuse for it in my opinion."
"I'll send all of them to you to develop the poison. I hope you can develop the semi-finished product as soon as possible. Although it's not as satisfying as killing my enemies myself, it's still good if it can be of some use to them before they die."
"Okay, don't worry. I will develop it as soon as possible. I think it will be able to help you a lot in the future." Leng Qingzhou patted her shoulder and said.
"Well, why don't you go back first? Mo Yinan will be here later. It will be difficult to explain if he sees you." Chu Qianyu looked at him and said.
Leng Qingzhou was full of enthusiasm just now, and secretly swore in his heart that he would develop that thing for her as soon as possible even if he had to work day and night. But when he heard her say this, he felt as if the blood in his body suddenly froze.
