Chapter 72 "The Great Detective" Doflamingo
After receiving the letter, Master Zhiguang did not open it immediately, but instead looked at Qi Ming.
Qi Ming chuckled: "Cause and effect are cyclical, retribution is inevitable. Now that things have come to this, what are you still hesitating for, Master?"
Li Qinglu, being a curious person, couldn't help but ask, "Husband, what's wrong?"
Everyone was very curious.
Qiao Feng was even more exasperated, practically scratching his head in frustration, and said, "Brother Qi, just tell me!"
Master Zhiguang sighed and, under the watchful eyes of everyone, began to explain the Battle of Yanmen Pass.
"...That infant is you, Chief Qiao."
Qiao Feng's eyes widened: "No, impossible! How could I, a dignified Han Chinese, be a Khitan barbarian? My own father is the Three Scholar Trees Elder, not that...that..."
Having said that, he flashed and grabbed Master Zhiguang.
He looked up to the sky, filled with grief and indignation, and said, "If you want to remove me from my position as gang leader, that's fine, but why fabricate this identity for me?"
He then looked at Qi Ming: "Brother Qi, is this the earth-shattering secret you mentioned?"
Qi Ming shook his head: "Chief, don't be impatient. Before we discuss your matter, there's one more thing we need to clarify!"
As he spoke, he turned to Kang Jinlian:
"How did Deputy Gang Leader Ma die?"
Kang Jinlian was terrified, but she cried out, "I...I don't know either."
Bai Shijing and Elder Xu were both panicked.
Quan Guanqing acted decisively, kneeling down with a thud and kowtowing to beg for forgiveness:
"Chief! Deputy Chief Ma was killed by this harlot in collusion with Bai Shijing! Elder Xu also coveted this harlot, which is why he stood up for her and exposed your identity!"
What?!
The crowd erupted in uproar.
Duan Zhengchun was especially bewildered.
His beloved Xiao Kang would murder her husband?
"You're talking nonsense!"
Elder Xu retorted angrily, "What business is it of mine with this woman? I'm over eighty years old!"
Qi Ming laughed heartily, "Elder Bai, at least, was seduced by a slut before he had no choice but to submit! You old lecher, however, have long coveted Madam Ma, taking advantage of her to your heart's content!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Duan, who was standing to the side, his hair standing on end in fury, and then continued:
"Madam Ma, you want to be the gang leader's wife, so you don't care who the gang leader is. That's why you initially tried to seduce Gang Leader Qiao! But our gang leader only likes to play with his brothers and has no interest in you. You turned your love into hatred and now you hate him intensely!"
"And you just happened to find that letter left by Wang Jiantong, the one that reveals Chief Qiao's identity! So you want to force Ma Dayuan to expel Chief Qiao and become the chief yourself!"
"Ma Dayuan refused, so you, along with Bai Shijing and Elder Xu, killed him, isn't that right?"
"But little do you know, Chief Qiao's identity is actually a minor matter! There's a colossal secret behind it, and behind that colossal secret lies an even greater secret, one that even Master Zhiguang might not know!"
"Hehe, I know best! All the clues connect perfectly when they reach me. Once I unravel them, there will be no more secrets in this martial arts world!"
"..."
His speech had everyone on the edge of their seats.
"No, no!"
Bao Butong scoffed, "How can a secret that has nothing to do with my Murong family be considered a huge secret?"
Qi Ming laughed heartily, even bursting into laughter...
Li Qinglu exclaimed, "Husband, hurry up and tell me!"
Others also urged:
"Yes, Brother Qi, hurry up and tell us!"
Stop keeping me in suspense!
"After you said that, I'll admit you're the best in the world!"
"..."
Qi Ming finally finished laughing, and then said to Qiao Feng:
"Chief Qiao, do you want to know who that leader who gathered the gang and mistakenly killed your parents is? Do you want revenge?"
Master Zhiguang lost his balance and sat down, closing his eyes to chant sutras, his forehead covered in sweat.
"The hatred for one's parents is irreconcilable!"
Qiao Feng resolutely declared, "If I am truly a Khitan, and if my parents were indeed murdered by that evil man, no matter who he is, I will avenge them!"
Qi Ming patted him on the shoulder and smiled at Master Zhiguang, Tan Gong and Tan Po, and the others:
"Do you all think that the leader is Abbot Xuanci of Shaolin Temple? That's why you're being so secretive, not wanting to ruin his reputation."
Master Zhiguang exclaimed in surprise, "Judging from your words, is there some hidden story?"
Qi Ming snorted, then couldn't help but laugh:
"Of course there's more to it than meets the eye, and it's incredibly lewd and despicable! No, no, I suddenly can't bear to tell you!"
Azhu cried out, "Brother Qi, if you keep keeping us in suspense like this, you'll get beaten up!"
Qiao Feng, equally anxious, said, "Please enlighten me, Brother Qi! I will never forget your immense kindness!"
Qi Ming nodded: "Alright, I'll tell you! Xuan Ci isn't the ringleader, but he's not a good person either!"
"Among the Four Evils, the most heinous one, Ye Erniang, who steals other people's children to play with and then kills them, is actually his lover, and the two have a child together!"
wow——
Shaolin is the pinnacle of martial arts.
The abbot of Shaolin Temple is also the most renowned person in the martial arts world.
They actually broke the rules, and with a villain like Ye Erniang no less?
Everyone's values have been shattered!
Xiao Zhi scoffed, "This humble monk originally thought Shaolin was a highly respected place, but I never expected it to be a den of iniquity!"
Master Zhiguang exclaimed, "Benefactor, you cannot speak so recklessly without evidence!"
Qi Ming laughed and said, "I once tracked a masked man at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain. That man looked remarkably like Chief Qiao. Is it possible that he was his father?"
Qiao Feng exclaimed in shock, "What? My father isn't dead?"
Master Zhiguang and others also found it hard to believe.
"He's not the only one who didn't die!"
Qi Ming walked towards Wang Yuyan and introduced her with a smile:
"This beauty's uncle-in-law didn't actually die! He was also hiding in Shaoshi Mountain, secretly learning Shaolin martial arts with Qiao Feng's father, and even received guidance from him!"
Bao Butong's eyes widened: "You mean my old master faked his death?"
"Of course I'll fake my death!"
Qi Ming said coldly, "If this ringleader doesn't die, how will we explain it to Abbot Xuanci?"
Then he shouted, "The Murong family are descendants of the Xianbei, and they have always plotted to revive the Yan state! Now that Liao and Song are at peace, there is no opportunity for them to take advantage of this, so what will they do?"
"Of course, it was false intelligence to incite conflict between Liao and Song! It's a pity Qiao Feng's father was too muddle-headed; his greatest enemy was right in front of him, and he even asked him for martial arts advice, yet he didn't know! Haha, isn't that laughable?"
"In revenge, he stole Xuanci's son, driving Ye Erniang mad and harming countless children!"
"But all of this stems from Murong Bo, and Master Xuanbei, barring any unforeseen circumstances, was also killed by this ambitious man!"
Everyone was speechless.
Kumārajīva concluded, "So that Six Meridians Divine Sword..."
Duan Zhengchun gritted his teeth and said, "He was the one who spied on us! You don't need to worry about burning it for him anymore!"
Dan Zheng roared, "The Murong family is plotting something sinister! What are you waiting for, heroes?!"
Qi Ming cautioned, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor. Killing Murong Bo and his son is enough. Don't pursue the others who don't know the full story!"
Li Qinglu said jealously, "You're worried about A'Zhu and don't want her to suffer, aren't you? You stinky husband!"
Azhu blushed.
