Chapter 127 Clarification
"Of course...yes."
Xiao Zijin didn't know what Wu You was going to do, and her tone was somewhat uncertain. Why did she take out another card? What was that?
"But I have a record of how Sect Leader Xiao recently spent a lot of money to buy this bluestone chessboard from Chunlu Qiushuang. Would Sect Leader Xiao like to take a look? This chessboard, which has always been sealed in Shan Gu Dao's house, has been leaked out, and Sect Leader Xiao says it has always been sealed away?"
Wu You did it on purpose. Knowing that Shan Gudao's blue stone chessboard was no longer here, he had Chunlu Qiushuang's people secretly inquire about it beforehand, and finally found it in a bookstore in a small alley.
The bluestone chessboard wasn't anything valuable; it was just something that Shan Gudao, the second-in-command of the Sigu Sect, had used. The shopkeeper was an old man who didn't recognize the bluestone chessboard; when he found it, it was already covered in dust.
After Chunlu Qiushuang bought the chessboard, he deliberately spread rumors when Xiao Zijin inquired about its whereabouts. When Xiao Zijin came to buy it, he paid twenty times the price.
"Yes, what happened?"
"Could it be that Sect Leader Xiao has misremembered?"
"How could you possibly be wrong? You were absolutely certain, weren't you?"
"that is......"
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, and Qiao Wanmian also looked in Xiao Zijin's direction.
"I......"
Faced with the suspicious gazes and murmurs of the crowd, Xiao Zijin's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
Xiao Zijin: I knew she was going to cause trouble. I was very careful, but I still couldn't escape. How did that thing end up in her hands?
"What evidence do you have that the bluestone chessboard was bought by Sect Leader Xiao? You're probably just making things up and fabricating a story. If Sect Leader Xiao wanted to buy it, he would naturally send someone else."
He Zhang was somewhat embarrassed and angry. The evidence he presented had been rejected time and time again, and he was getting anxious.
"I've heard this chessboard possesses a special spirit, and it's only sold to those with a destined connection; those without it naturally cannot purchase it. You seem to quite admire the handwriting, wouldn't you like to see if it's Sect Leader Xiao's handwriting?"
Wu You handed the note signed by Xiao Zijin to He Zhang.
Normally, you don't need to sign when you buy things, but since only Xiao Zijin wanted this item, we let him leave his name.
He Zhang wanted to take it, but when he saw Xiao Zijin looking over, he withdrew his outstretched hand.
"Let's put aside the matter of the bluestone chessboard for now. The imperial court's Minghuang Jinyun can't be faked, right? Doesn't that prove that what I said is right? Don't you all agree?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Yes."
“This Minghuang Jinyun is definitely here.”
"This is something that can't be faked."
He Zhang stirred up the emotions of everyone present, hoping to force Wu You to submit in this way.
"Since the matter of the bluestone chessboard is fake, then the matter of Ming Huang Jinyun is naturally not true, and what you said later is naturally fake."
Seeing that the strongman had turned against him, Fang Duobing quickly spoke up to help.
“Look closely, this can’t be faked.”
He Zhang threw the things in his hand at Fang Duobing, and he became quite smug.
Fang Duobing caught it and examined it carefully. After all, his father was the Minister of Revenue of the imperial court, and he knew some things about the court. This Ming Huang Jinyun was indeed from the imperial court; it was genuine.
Fang Duobing held the letter in his hand, unsure how to refute it.
"The item itself is genuine, but whether the situation is as it seems is another matter."
"Who exactly are you, and why do you dare to spout such nonsense at this tea party?"
He Zhang truly hated this person who suddenly appeared and repeatedly ruined his plans.
