Chapter 285: Rape
Two days later, in the Qinghefang meeting hall, all the foundation-building monks in the entire Qinghe County, except Huang Sibo, who had just laid 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 found out the attack on Qinghefang this time. The person who informed the bandit cultivator was personally killed by fellow Taoist Lu a few days ago. Execution, these two people were deceived by this person and accidentally leaked important secrets in our city several times. "
Looking at the two people below, there was no surprise on Song Qingming's face. When Qinghefang sent troops to attack Yingchao Ridge a few years ago but failed, Song Qingming already felt that something was wrong. There might be a traitor inside Qinghefang. Secretly inform these bandits.
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 very 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. Even Hu Maocai himself was killed on the spot. Song Qingming immediately changed his view and gave up his doubts about Lu Yuanfeng.
After this war, not only Song Qingming, but almost everyone including Lu Yuanfeng had begun to suspect that there was a traitor in Fangshi. Although everyone had not said it out loud, it was basically already known to them.
The opponent was very well prepared for this battle. Even if they did not take into account Gao Yubai's variable, which caused them to start retreating early, they still robbed many spiritual objects and escaped unscathed. Without sufficient intelligence, it would be difficult for them to make time. It's just right.
After a vigorous investigation by Lu Yuanfeng, the traitor was quickly found out. This person's name was Lu Pingjiang. He was an ordinary monk in the Qi Refining Stage of the Lu family. He had been bribed by Cheng Yilong many years ago. 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.
It stands to reason that it would be difficult for an ordinary monk like Lu Pingjiang with little status to control some of the core secrets in Qinghefang, but he is very good at making friends. Not only is he popular within the Lu family, but he also has relationships with many of Lu Yuanfeng's disciples. It's also done quite well.
This time Yingchao Ridge was able to successfully attack Qinghefang. It can be said that this person helped Cheng Yilong and the others a lot.
Without the information leaked by Lu Pingjiang, even if Cheng Yilong and the others could send people to sneak in, they would not be able to find the several formation veins of the Fangshi Formation so accurately. If the Mountain Guard Formation was not attacked and remained intact, even if Lu Yuanfeng Without him, Song Qingyu was able to hold on with everyone until reinforcements arrived.
The monks who come to Qinghefang generally don't know the location of the Qinghefang Mountain Protection Formation. 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. Kneeling below, he still looked up pitifully at Lu Yuanfeng from time to time, 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. Thinking about how lucky he was to survive just a few days ago, he was caught here.
The reason why Lu Yuanfeng found out this person was from Lu Pingjiang's mouth. In addition to him, there was also a late-stage Qi Refining monk of the Lu family who was also implicated. Neither of them actually leaked the secret intentionally, including Lu Yuanfeng. The first time I went to Huang's house to attend Huang Sibo's foundation building ceremony, this was what Lu Pingjiang accidentally found out from him when he was drinking with the disciple Lu Yuanfeng.
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, it was considered a direct killing at this time. It is not easy for them, the Lu family and Lu Yuanfeng to come out and 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 intercede 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 duel. Unfortunately, facing Cheng Yilong whose cultivation had reached the eighth level of foundation building, Gao Yubai's cultivation was still a little behind him. In the end, he still failed. The method can keep them and wait for the support of Song Qingming and others. He himself also suffered some injuries. For this reason, Gao Yubai still supported the severe punishment of this matter in his heart. However, now his elders suddenly asked for mercy. Although Gao Yubai felt in his heart He was a little unhappy, but he still held it in 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 him some punishment?"
"Fellow Daoist Song is right. Our Huang family lost five lives in this battle. This cannot be solved with just one sentence. Don't you think so, Friend Lu?"
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 they should be severely punished. It's not just them. We, the elders, also have some responsibility for failing to discipline them well, and we should also be taught a lesson."
