Chapter 264 Murong Yao Testifies
"Little ailment, where did you hear this from? Do you have any evidence? If not, don't speak carelessly. It's very hurtful to our fellow disciples."
Ji Hanfo tentatively asked how much Fang Duobing knew about this matter.
"There is no concrete evidence, only some speculation, and this was told to me by a friend I've only known for a short time."
Upon hearing Fang Duobing say there was no evidence, the several courtyard owners inside the room visibly relaxed.
"Don't make things up without evidence. From your first day as a criminal investigator, I've told you that investigations require evidence. Without evidence, no matter how reasonable the speculation is, you can't take it seriously," Jiang Baihe admonished.
"And which of your friends is making this up? Name him, and I'll have him brought to Baichuan Academy for questioning. What are his true intentions in saying this?"
"I never thought what she said was true. Everything she said seemed like a fantasy, just empty talk. But after each of her claims was verified, I had no choice but to believe her."
"There really is such a person? What else did he say?"
"Never mind, it's not important. Now is not the time to talk about her. Murong Yao is here. You can ask her whatever you want."
Fang Duobing refused to answer Jiang Baihe's question and changed the subject to Murong Yao.
"That's true. That little illness... I mean, what if, just what if, the truth is really as your friend said? What would you do?"
Ji Hanfo's words were met with disapproval from several other deans, especially Yun Biqiu, whose brows were furrowed and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
"That's naturally to avenge my master. My master isn't here, so as his disciple, I'll do it for him."
"I will not let any of those who participated in poisoning my master go unpunished. I will not ask them to do anything, but simply give them a taste of their own medicine. Each of them will be poisoned with a cup of green tea. Whether they live or die is entirely up to their fate."
"It's just a minor illness, aren't you sure you're doing something like this...?"
"Dean Ji, you agree with me, don't you? Don't worry, as my master's only disciple, I certainly won't let him worry about such a small matter."
“This…you…” Ji Hanfo stammered, unable to speak for a long time.
"Do you all think that as a member of the Four Gazes Sect, poisoning your own sect leader requires you to immediately go to the underworld to plead guilty and simply kill him with a sword to avenge him?"
"I say to all the academy leaders, sometimes living is more painful than dying. Such a wicked person who betrays his own sect and poisons the sect leader should naturally taste the suffering his master endured."
"Alright, Fang Duobing, let's talk about that later. Let's talk about Afei's matter. Murong Yao, you tell us."
Shi Shui interrupted Fang Duobing and looked at Murong Yao beside him.
Murong Yao: Young Master Fang is a person of utmost purity and filial piety, which is truly touching.
Yun Biqiu: I dare not move, I really dare not move.
"Yes, fellow deans, I have met Afei, but I have never seen his true face."
"Have you ever seen his weapon?" Jiang Baihe ignored Fang Duobing and turned to look at Murong Yao.
"He carried a long sword on his back, which he never drew. He was a very arrogant man who said that ordinary people were not worth drawing his sword on."
“No, I remember now, he went out once.” Murong Yao suddenly remembered.
Feeling several burning gazes, Murong Yao continued, "In my memory, it was a horizontal sword, double-edged, with a golden wheel on it. Whenever it was drawn, there would be a whistling sound of metal and stone."
