C28 Dirty water
When the twenty odd people saw black-clothed man quickly escaping from the roof of Redbud Village, they all rushed forward to surround him. However, it was unknown if it was because black-clothed man was an expert at speed or what, but the twenty odd people did not manage to stop him, allowing him to slip through the gaps in the encirclement.
"I can't catch up." Tang Sheng ran over from the back. Seeing the black-clothed man in the distance, he sighed. Today, if the black-clothed man left, he would not be able to catch him again.
His eyes squinted as he smiled and said, "Great Elder Tang, in the future, we will definitely find him again. Just now, when you hit his back, if he appeared in front of us, we would only need to test him."
"According to your conjecture, black-clothed man is Yin Ying. If he was injured tonight, he definitely wouldn't come out so easily. Once he recovers, we won't be able to find any evidence." Tang Sheng turned his head and said.
However, the Patriarch shook his head with a calm expression.
"If he doesn't come out, we'll go find him!"
At the same time, Yin Ying had already leapt out of the Redbud Village's courtyard wall, escaping along the dark corner with worry in his eyes. He did not expect that the Redbud Village had long been prepared, or perhaps the other powers had made appropriate preparations, and it seemed that they could not act rashly in the future.
When Yin Ying returned to the Changyun Village, he immediately checked on his own injuries in his room. After taking Tang Sheng's palm, his back felt extremely painful, and was already covered with bruises.
"Hmph, Tang Sheng, I will return this palm strike to you sooner or later!" Yin Ying clenched his teeth, and looked at his back in the mirror and asked while clenching his fists.
Ka-cha.
Suddenly, a light sound came out from outside the door. Yin Ying was startled, and turned to look in the direction of the door: "Who is it!"
In his heart, Yin Ying was alarmed and uncertain. Could it be that the Patriarch and Tang Sheng had chased them? However, he soon shook his head. Previously, he had already left them behind, so it was impossible for him to catch up to them.
There was no sound coming from outside, Yin Ying opened the door and looked outside, there was no one inside the courtyard, only trees and plants that were bathed in the faint moonlight. However, there was clearly a dead branch that had been broken by someone on the ground. It seemed that the mark of the broken branch was quite new, as if it had just been broken by someone.
Sure enough, someone had been here before. Who was it?
...
When Li Ye sneaked out of the Changyun Village, he let out a breath of relief. Recalling how he accidentally stepped on a dead tree branch and made a sound when he accidentally stepped on it, to be honest, when the sound came out, he himself was shocked.
Fortunately, his reaction was not slow, and he immediately fled. His trip was not wasted, and he found out that black-clothed man was indeed Yin Ying.
Previously in the Redbud Village Palace, Li Ye had already been squatting outside the courtyard walls, waiting for black-clothed man to come out. When the black-clothed man thought that he had gotten rid of the people from the Redbud Village, he did not know that Li Ye had already secretly followed him, and naturally followed him into the Changyun Village, discovering his true identity.
The one who was behind all of this, was the temporary Clan Chief Yin Ying!
On the second day, the weather was clear, the sky blue and cloudless, the blue sky clean. When white rock suddenly spread the news today, he had already discovered the culprit behind the incident and had joined hands with the Tang Jia Fortress to capture him.
After the families heard this, they immediately sent people to the Redbud Village to check if what they heard was true, and all the commoners headed there one after the other.
Under the escort of many people, the Great Clan Elder of Redbud Village and the Great Clan Elder of Tang Jia Fortress walked out side by side, followed by many trained villagers from both families, and in the middle of the villagers, there was a masked black-clothed man, from the looks of it, it seemed as though the black-clothed man was the troublemaker from last night, caught by the patriarch and Tang Sheng on the spot.
"Everyone! Last night, he snuck into my Redbud Village, and was captured by us on the spot, so we will now be handed over to him! " When the clan leader saw the surging crowd, he shouted loudly, he wanted to use these people to spread the news, to create momentum for the upcoming trip to Changyun Village!
According to the Patriarch's thoughts, the people of the Changyun Village would never reject them from outside. That way, they would definitely be able to see Yin Ying, and when the time comes, they would only need to probe Yin Ying's back and find out if the black-clothed man from last night was him.
Take a fake black-clothed man and find it. This was the chief's plan!
"Lord Clan Leader, Redbud Village and Tang Jia Fortress have caught the people who are messing with our Hundred Thousand Mountain Range area. They are requesting for the suspected criminals to be brought in!" A soldier hurriedly ran into the study room and said to the person sitting in the study in silver armor.
"What?" Did they catch you? " Yin Ying's brows twitched, he did not know what the Redbud Village and Tang Jia Fortress were trying to do.
Thinking about it, Yin Ying laughed in his heart, catching a good person by mistake? Alright, I can take this opportunity to convict you of abusing lynchings!
"Bring them to the Changyun Village's Great Assembly Hall, I will wait for them there!" Yin Ying said.
Hearing that, the soldiers below immediately turned and left the study, while Yin Ying also stood up and headed towards the Changyun Village's hall.
Li Ye and Ah Yue were mixed in the crowd of Redbud Village s. Last night, Li Ye himself already knew that black-clothed man was Yin Ying, when he went back, he told the patriarch about this matter, which was why the patriarch brought him here so confidently.
Around them, the commoners who were not afraid of getting into trouble also watched, some of them even mixed in with the crowd trying to impersonate the villagers of Redbud Village and wanted to follow the two families into the Changyun Village to have a look.
Regarding this, even though the Patriarch and Tang Sheng discovered it, they did not stop them. This was because they hoped that through these people's mouths, they could spread news of what happened next.
Not long after, the other two powers, as well as some small powers and the big families of the Changyun Village also sent people here. When they found out that the Redbud Village and the Tang Jia Fortress had caught up to the person causing trouble, some of the Great Clan Elders also brought people to come out to check.
It could already be said that there was a sea of people outside the Changyun Village. After a short while, a soldier walked out from inside the Changyun Village, bringing in the people from the Redbud Village and the people waiting outside.
The group of people entered in a line, not only the people of Redbud Village, but also many other forces and ordinary people.
Inside Changyun Village, a soldier was leading the way, followed by a large crowd behind him. When they walked, they seemed to fill up the entire passageway for the Changyun Village. A group of people majestically headed towards the hall of Changyun Village.
A short while later, a large group of people followed the soldiers into a large courtyard. The courtyard inside was decorated in a grand manner, and glazed tiles covered the high, thick, beamed roof, forming a dome that extended all the way to the main hall.
Li Ye followed the Redbud Village and entered the hall. At the moment, there was a person seated at a high position, it was Yin Ying who was clad in silver armor. He dressed like usual, with only his eyes exposed, and a mask covering his face.
"I heard Patriarch Jing caught the person behind the scenes who caused trouble for the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range?" Yin Ying stood up and slowly walked towards the Patriarch.
Yes, please have a look, Master Yin Ying! The patriarch pulled out a black-clothed man that was tied up with all sorts of things, and at the same time, the Great Clan Elder, Tang Sheng, walked out from behind.
Yin Ying squinted and looked at the patriarch and Tang Sheng in front of him, then glanced at the tied up black-clothed man, "This person's cultivation is so low, is the one behind all this trouble really him?
"The person causing trouble behind this is indeed not him, but someone else." The Patriarch did not deny, and looked straight at Yin Ying as he spoke.
Yin Ying's heart jumped, the patriarch's gaze made him feel uneasy, could it be that they have discovered something? No, it must be a trick.
"Haha …" Yin Ying raised his head and laughed, then turned to look at the people who could not enter the hall, "You said that the one who was causing trouble was not him, and then said that you caught the one who was causing trouble earlier, what exactly is the truth of your words, and what is the falsehood of your words?
Although the Changyun Village Hall was huge, there were too many people who entered. The hall's space was extremely limited, other than the people that the Redbud Village and Great Elder Tang wanted, there were even more people who stayed in the courtyard outside the hall.
Looking at the development of the hall, they started to guess. Seeing the unusual behavior of the Redbud Village, could it be that something special had happened?
At this time, the patriarch pointed at black-clothed man and bellowed: "Tell me, who sent you to our Redbud Village to cause trouble?" From the clan leader's tone, it seemed that someone was directing black-clothed man from behind.
Under the Patriarch's questioning, black-clothed man looked at Yin Ying, who was in front of him, and said hesitantly: "Yes … It was Master Yin Ying who told me to do this. "
BOOM!
The crowd outside the hall suddenly erupted into exclamations of surprise, hearing what black-clothed man said, their hearts were in turmoil, their eyes were filled with shock, all of this was what Yin Ying had sent people to do? Then before this, was the clan leader Xuan Kong also killed by Yin Ying?
Many guesses began to be linked to Yin Ying. As they guessed, everyone felt that the truth was right in front of them.
In the hall, Yin Ying was shocked, he did not expect the black-clothed man in front of him to directly point at him. The more Yin Ying thought about how he went out alone last night and didn't bring anyone along, how could anyone be captured by the Redbud Village? The more he thought about it, the more confused he felt that something was wrong.
Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind as he thought of something. He did not panic in the face of everyone's doubts, and raised his head to sneer at the Patriarch. I, Yin Ying, am doing the right thing. I presume this black-clothed man is disguised by your Redbud Village's people? If you want to splash dirty water on me, Yin Ying, you guys are still far from being able to do it! "
Yin Ying knew that the black-clothed man in front of him was definitely not someone from the Changyun Village s. Even if he was his trusted aide in the Changyun Village s, if he was caught, it was impossible for him to be exposed.
The Patriarch did not expect Yin Ying to be so calm even at this step. Even if he had heard from Li Ye last night that the one who was following him was Yin Ying, as long as Yin Ying did not admit it, he would not be able to convince the people of the surrounding hundred thousand mountains.
