Zongwu: Storytelling makes you stronger, and female knights compete to be maids

When Su Chen's next words were heard, the hall erupted in exclamations and commotion again.

Jiang Feng's family murder case!

It was this bloody incident that ended the life of the world's most handsome man, Yulang Jiang Feng, and also ended the glory of the world's number one swordsman, Yan Nantian.

For twenty years, this case has become an indelible mystery in the minds of people in the underworld.

Now, all this is finally expected to come to light.

……

On top of the white jade platform.

Su Chen looked at the popularity value rising continuously, feeling quite satisfied, and said loudly:

"Twenty years ago, Jiang Feng's name resounded throughout the martial arts world."

"Not only does he come from a wealthy family, he's also incredibly handsome and elegant, and he even has a sworn brother who's known as the world's greatest swordsman."

"It can be said that he is the ideal husband that thousands of girls dream of."

"When discussing this tragic case of annihilation, we have to start with the feud between Jiang Feng and Yihua Palace."

"Back then, Jiang Feng was seriously injured during a trip and was rescued by Hua Yuenu, a disciple of Yihua Palace who happened to be away."

"The two fell in love at first sight and fell deeply in love."

"However, Hua Yuenu is the personal maidservant of Yao Yue, the master of Yihua Palace. According to the iron rule of Yihua Palace, women are not allowed to develop romantic feelings with men."

"So Jiang Feng and Hua Yuenu eloped and lived in seclusion in a manor on the outskirts of the city."

"In order to avoid exposing his whereabouts, Jiang Feng only told his whereabouts to a very few close confidants."

"And it was this decision that laid the seeds for the tragedy of the extermination of the entire family in the future."

"The one who massacred Jiang Feng's entire family was none other than the infamous Twelve Constellations."

"But they are just pawns being manipulated, completing bloody tasks for the mastermind behind the scenes."

"The person who manipulated them, the real culprit, is still at large."

"He even has a very high reputation."

"This man is Jiang Biehe, known as the 'Jiangnan Hero'."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall showed shock.

Previously, everyone still had a question in their mind: Why was Yihua Palace involved in this tragic case of annihilation?

Now all the truth is gradually coming to light.

It turns out that Jiang Feng's wife is Hua Yuenu who defected from Yihua Palace.

No sect will easily let go of a disciple who betrays their master, let alone a sect like Yihua Palace that strictly prohibits love between men and women.

What's more, Hua Yuenu was once Yao Yue's personal maid, so it was reasonable for Yao Yue to take action personally.

But no one had expected that

This tragedy happened 20 years ago, and the mastermind behind it was actually the famous "Jiangnan Hero" Jiang Biehe.

You know, although Jiang Biehe's martial arts skills are only second-rate, his reputation as a "chivalrous man" is the best in the world.

He has always been generous and open-minded. Whenever someone from the underworld comes to him for help, he helps them generously and never refuses.

Even in the hall of Zijin Tower at this moment, there are many people who have received Jiang Biehe's favor.

When Su Chen heard that Jiang Biehe was the mastermind behind the Jiang Feng family massacre, the entire hall suddenly became excited:

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Jiang Biehe has always been a benevolent and righteous man, and everyone in the world knows that. How could he do such a thing?"

"Although I'm from the north, I've heard of the Jiangnan hero Jiang Biehe. I never thought he was such a sinister person."

"Ten years ago, I also received a favor from Jiang Biehe. He seems to be upright and honest, not someone who would do something like this."

"Mr. Su has always been known for his divine foresight. What he says is certainly true. It can only be said that human hearts are unpredictable and their inner thoughts are not the same as their outer thoughts."

"Please tell me the details, Mr. Su. I find it hard to believe that Jiang Biehe would do such a heinous act."

"Why did Jiang Biehe want to harm Jiang Feng? Is there some grudge between them?"

Chapter 25: No Way Back

……

On the White Jade Platform,

Su Chen leisurely savored the fragrance of tea and was not surprised by the noise around him.

He didn't speak until the discussion among the crowd gradually died down.

"It seems that everyone is unwilling to believe that Jiang Biehe would do such a thing."

"Everyone knows the Jiangnan hero Jiang Biehe, but how many people truly understand his past?"

"Jiang Biehe's real name is Jiang Qin. Back then, he was just a servant to Jiang Feng."

"But Jiang Feng is a kind person. He has been with Jiang Qin day and night and has long regarded him as a close family member."

"Later, when Jiang Qin came of age, Jiang Feng granted her freedom and a large amount of silver to help her establish herself and start a business in Jiangnan."

“That’s how Jiang Biehe came to be.”

"However, Jiang Feng didn't know that Jiang Biehe appeared to be gentle, respectful and frugal, but in reality he was a complete hypocrite."

"After he established himself in Jiangnan, he secretly orchestrated the 'Escort Silver Theft Case', which led to the complete destruction of the Shuangshi Escort Agency."

"People in the martial arts world only know Jiang Biehe for his generosity, but they don't know that all that gold, silver, and jewelry is stained with the blood of the escorts of the Shuangshi Escort Agency."

"And the worst thing about Jiang Biehe is that he still harbors resentment towards Jiang Feng."

"He considered his service as Jiang Feng's servant a lifelong shame and vowed to kill Jiang Feng to alleviate his hatred."

"After Jiang Feng and Hua Yuenu retired to seclusion, they only shared their whereabouts with a few close relatives and acquaintances in order to avoid the world. One of them was Jiang Biehe."

"Jiang Biehe therefore devised a vicious plan, using this information to lure the twelve zodiac signs, ultimately leading to the tragic annihilation of the Jiang family."

"But he always stayed out of it, and no one ever suspected him."

……

silence!

There was dead silence in the hall.

Su Chen had finished speaking for a long time, but everyone still had not recovered from their shock.

Because the amount of information in these words was so astonishing, my head was buzzing after listening to them.

Jiang Biehe's despicableness far exceeded everyone's cognition.

This is not just a matter of planning a family annihilation, but also betraying the former master and repaying kindness with enmity. Even describing it as "heartless and treacherous" seems an understatement!

In the eyes of everyone, Jiang Feng had done his utmost to be kind and righteous to Jiang Biehe, and was no more loyal and righteous than any other man in ancient times.

Even at the most critical moment of Jiang Feng's life, he still told Jiang Biehe where he was, which shows how much he trusts Jiang Biehe.

However, Jiang Biehe was not grateful at all. Instead, he bore a grudge against Jiang Feng and secretly made trouble for him, which eventually led to the tragic annihilation of Jiang Feng's family.

In an instant, the crowd in the hall was filled with rage, and everyone wanted to tear Jiang Biehe into pieces:

"Oh my god! I never thought that Jiang Biehe, who appears to be a gentleman on the surface, could be so despicable and vicious behind the scenes."

"I've been skeptical for a while now. Where did he get so much wealth? It turns out he's been doing all sorts of evil things behind the scenes. All that money is stained with blood!"

"Back then, the Shuangshi Escort Agency was wiped out due to the loss of their silver. It was Jiang Biehe who was responsible."

"This Jiang Biehe is simply an ungrateful person who can never be tamed. Jiang Feng was so good to him, but he repaid his kindness with resentment!"

"I once sincerely thought of him as a 'hero'. This sinister villain deserves death a hundred times over!"

"Mr. Su's revelation is excellent. Shameless people like Jiang Biehe should be made infamous, so that everyone can vent their anger."

"Bah! Such a despicable villain must be killed by everyone. If he doesn't die, the entire Ming martial arts world will be blamed."

"Damn it! It was because of him, Jiang Biehe, that the First Divine Sword of our Ming Dynasty and Jade Man Jiang Feng both perished."

……

The fifth box on the south side of the third floor.

Ah Fei slammed his palm on the table and roared, "I can't believe there are such shameless people in the world. If I meet him, I will kill him!"

Li Xunhuan picked up the wine jug and took a sip, then looked at Ah Fei's excited expression and shook his head slightly.

If it were twenty years ago, he might have been as indignant as Ah Fei and even taken personal action to eliminate the traitor.

But now he has lost his edge and become a wanderer who goes with the flow.

……

On top of the white jade platform.

Su Chen gently waved his paper fan, and without waiting for everyone to calm down, he continued:

"Jiang Biehe's shamelessness goes far beyond this."

"In order to cling to power, he took the initiative to curry favor with Liu Xi, the governor of the East Factory."

"I heard that Liu Xi had a goddaughter, but he cruelly abandoned his pregnant wife and became Liu Xi's son-in-law."

"Over the years, he has completely become Liu Xi's lackey, secretly assisting in the murder of countless people in the underworld."

"But a villain like him is never truly loyal to anyone."

"Although he became Liu Xi's son-in-law, he was a playboy outside and had an illegitimate daughter."

"The woman brought her daughter to his house to acknowledge her relationship, but he coldly and ruthlessly kicked them both out."

"Later, Liu Xi ordered him to search for the legendary Jianghu treasure - the Liuren Divine Dice. Unexpectedly, he actually found it."

"But he did not hand it in, but hid it secretly."

"This shows that this person is capricious and has ulterior motives."
