Chapter 285: Picking up rape
Two days later, in the Qinghefang meeting hall, all the foundation-building monks in Qinghe County except Huang Sibo, who had just built the foundation of the Huang family, had arrived as promised.
Everyone was sitting together in the hall, with two trembling Qi Refining monks kneeling below.
After a while, Lu Yuanfeng stood up and pointed to the two people below him and said: "Fellow Taoists, I have already investigated the attack on Qinghefang this time. The person who informed the bandit cultivator is here. They had been executed by fellow Daoist Lu himself a few days ago, and these two people were deceived by this person and accidentally leaked my information several times. An important secret in our city."
Looking at the two people below, Song Qingming had no surprise on his face. When Qinghefang sent troops to attack Yingchao Ridge a few years ago and returned without success. I already felt that something was wrong. There might be a traitor inside Qinghefang who was secretly informing these gangsters.
At first, Song Qingming suspected that there might be a problem with Lu Yuanfeng. After all, Hu Maocai had learned from the past that he was greedy for a few spiritual stones. It was extremely likely that one or two of them, who had been stationed in Qinghefang all year round, would be bribed by Yingchao Ridge. possible.
But after the war, Song Qingming heard from Song Qingyu that Hu Maocai's men had performed very bravely in the city defense battle, and even Hu Maocai himself was killed on the spot. Song Qingming immediately changed his view and gave up his hatred of Lu Yuanfeng. doubt.
After this battle, not only Song Qingming, but almost everyone including Lu Yuanfeng began to suspect that there was a traitor in Fangshi. Although everyone had not said it out loud, they basically knew it in their hearts. It's obvious.
The opponent was very well prepared for this battle. Even if they did not take into account the variable Gao Yubai, which caused them to start retreating early, they still robbed many spiritual objects and escaped without sufficient intelligence. It must be difficult to calculate the time just right.
After Lu Yuanfeng’s vigorous investigation, the traitor was quickly found out. This person’s name was Lu Pingjiang. He was an ordinary monk in the Qi refining period of the Lu family. He had been raped by Cheng Yilong many years ago. They were bought over there, and a lot of Qinghefang's secrets have been secretly sold over the years.
Lu Pingjiang, like Song Qingming, was only a four-spirit-root monk and was not valued by his family. After he reached the middle stage of Qi refining, he was sent by the Lu family to Qinghefang to run a shop that purchased spiritual items.
Logically speaking, it would be difficult for Lu Pingjiang, an ordinary monk with little status, to control some of the core secrets in Qinghefang. However, he is very good at making friends. Not only is he popular within the Lu family, but he is also very popular with the Lu family. Lu Yuanfeng's many disciples also have quite good relationships.
This time Yingchao Ridge can successfully attack Qinghefang. It can be said that this person has helped Cheng Yilong and the others a lot.
Without the information leaked by Lu Pingjiang, Cheng Yilong and the others would have been able to send people to infiltrate. Coming in, it was impossible to find the several formation veins of the Fangshi Formation so accurately. If the Mountain Guard Formation had not been attacked and remained intact, even if Lu Yuanfeng was not around, Song Qingyu would have been able to lead everyone until the reinforcements arrived.
The location of the Qinghefang Mountain Protection Formation is generally unknown to the monks who come to Qinghefang. Only the two foundation-building monks guarding Fang City and a few high-ranking members of the law enforcement team know about it. Among the monks in the Song family's law enforcement team, only Thirteenth Uncle Song Changxiong, who serves as the team leader, knows the exact location where these array veins are buried.
However, the Qinghefang Mountain Protection Formation has not been changed for so many years. In addition to the Song family, the Huang, Gao, and Lu families have rotated for so many years. There are also many people who know the location of the array, but compared to the four rotating monks , the ones who know this best are the disciples of Lu Yuanfeng. They are stationed in Fang City all year round, and most of them already know the location of the formation. Because of this, when Song Qingming suspected a traitor, he would first think of something wrong. The place may be Lu Yuanfeng's place. Although Song Qingming's guess was not accurate enough, he was still in the right direction. Among the people who leaked these important secrets to Lu Pingjiang, there was actually a disciple of Lu Yuanfeng, but this guy still didn't know that he had leaked the secrets of the Fangshi Formation. , while he was still kneeling below From time to time he looked up at Lu Yuanfeng pitifully, almost shouting that he was wronged. In the battle to guard Fang City a few days ago, he had been following Hu Maocai to fight the enemy bravely and suffered some injuries. Unexpectedly, he had just been lucky enough to survive. I was caught here for several days.
The reason why Lu Yuanfeng found this person was from the mouth of the Lu Ping River. In addition to him, there was also a late-stage Qi Refining monk of the Lu family who was also implicated. The two of them None of the secrets were leaked intentionally, including the fact that Lu Yuanfeng went to the Huang family to attend Huang Sibo's foundation building ceremony. This was what Lu Pingjiang inadvertently found out from Lu Pingjiang's disciple when he was drinking with him.
These two people said they were wronged, but in fact they were not wronged. They couldn't control their mouths and said everything, which led to the city being breached this time. Even if they didn't do it intentionally and killed so many people, this time Even if they were killed directly, the Lu family and Lu Yuanfeng would not be able to come out to plead for mercy.
“Since it was unintentional, I think it would be better to give them a little punishment and give them a chance to change their ways.”
Lu Xingde couldn't find it easy to plead for mercy, so he winked at Gao Jinhe. As an ally for many years, Gao Jinhe hesitated and finally expressed his love.
Seeing Gao Jinhe next to him suddenly plead for Lu Xingde, not only did Song Qingming not expect it, but even Gao Yubai, who was sitting next to him, showed a hint of surprise on his face.
Before retaking Fangshi, Gao Yubai and Cheng Yilong, the boss of Yingchao Ridge, had a battle. Unfortunately, facing Cheng Yilong whose cultivation had reached the eighth level of foundation building, Gao Yubai's cultivation was still inferior to him. It's a bit much, and in the end there's no way I can keep him. Everyone, after receiving the support from Song Qingming and others, he himself suffered some injuries. For this reason, Gao Yubai still supported the severe punishment of this matter, but now his elders suddenly asked for mercy. Although Gao Yubai was a little unhappy in his heart, But he still held back and didn't speak.
"With so many lives involved in the city, how can we convince the public in the future if we just give some punishment?"
"Fellow Daoist Song is right, my Huang family has lost a lot of money in this battle. Taking away five living lives, this cannot be solved with just one sentence, right? "
Seeing that Song Qingming took the initiative to stand up against the Gao family's statement this time, Huang Shengyue naturally followed suit. This time, the Huang family suffered the most among the four. Their family owned the most shops in Fangshi, so naturally they also He became the one who suffered the most spiritual losses during this turmoil.
"I also agree that we should be severely punished. Not only them, we elders also have some responsibility for failing to discipline them well, and we should be taught a lesson."
