Chapter 331
When the three of them stood on the stage, facing the crowd, most people expressed their heartfelt congratulations. Of course, for some people, this was too hard to bear.
I thought this ceremony would be completed with the congratulations of most people, until the elders showed up. Looking at their aggressive approach and the way they stared at Le Zheng, it was obvious that they had no good intentions.
Le Ying hated the three of them so much that her teeth itched, but she could only watch silently.
As soon as Le Zhengfeng arrived, he showed a fake smile and expressed his congratulations to Le Zheng Qiming and the three of them. Le Zheng Qiming felt uncomfortable being looked at by him.
As a result, Le Zhengliang came again, and the more Le Zheng Qiming looked, the more he felt that their eyes were directed at him. This was not a congratulation but a naked intimidation.
Being raised under the name of Banxia, no one knew that he was the son of Lezhengzhi and Baizhi. In terms of fame, he was not as famous as Lezheng Yuhua. Lezheng Qiming found it hard to imagine the reason why they were targeting him.
Until Le Zhengrong came over, compared with the two of them, Le Zhengrong seemed not to disguise well enough. He even spoke as if he was gritting his back teeth, and his congratulations sounded like a curse on him.
Le Zheng Qiming had a feeling that they seemed to know the truth about the child swap. Le Zheng Qiming was not worried about himself. It was easier to protect him than to protect Le Zhengzhi, Bai Zhi and Ban Xia who did it. His heartbeat quickened.
When Yue Zhengrong thought of Yue Zhengmin's miserable condition and Murong Ying's arrogance, he no longer wanted to endure the disguise.
"Everyone is here today, and there is something that needs to be dealt with together."
Yue Zhengfeng has always been relatively calm and collected. He doesn't like the impatient tempers of Yue Zhengrong and Yue Zhengmin, but he is willing to let them complete some tasks that may offend others.
Le Zhengliang's tone was not as serious as his, and he even said jokingly: "Don't be nervous, everyone. Senior brother, don't pour cold water on everyone in such a happy occasion. If you have anything to say, you can talk about it in private."
"Junior brother is a good person. This matter concerns our entire Lezheng clan. Any Lezheng clan member is qualified to witness it." Before Lezheng Liang could refute, Lezheng Rong pointed his finger at Lezheng Qiming and said, "He is the son of the demon clan."
Le Zhengrong's words were like thunder, exploding in the arena. Everyone looked at Le Zheng Qiming in shock, and whispers arose one after another.
The saying that Le Zhengqi was a member of the demon clan was simply nonsense to those who knew the truth.
Le Zhengzhi and Bai Zhi held each other. At this moment, they especially could not appear in the position of parents, otherwise the truth of the child swap would be exposed, and the ones who would suffer would not only be Le Zheng Shuiling, but also everyone who knew the truth about the child swap.
Banxia pointed at Yue Zhengrong excitedly and retorted: "Son of the demon clan? This is simply ridiculous. Qi Ming is my child, you are slandering him."
"Is Qi Ming really your child?"
Banxia couldn't help feeling guilty after being asked this question and considering the whole fuss about recognizing her relatives.
"Qiming is my child. I carried him for ten months and gave birth to him."
Le Zhengrong's counter-question let them know that he knew the truth, at least part of it.
Le Zheng Yuhua and Le Zheng Shuiling also immediately stood up and blocked Le Zheng Qiming. Le Zheng Shuiling even defended him, saying, "Qiming is a brother we grew up with. We know his life story better than anyone else. Even if you are an elder, you should not speak nonsense here and ruin his reputation!"
Le Zhengrong sneered and took out a small transparent bottle from his arms: "This bottle contains the Holy Water of the Heavenly River. Many of you should have heard of it, right? If the blood of the demons is dripped into it, even if it is just a little bit of blood, even if it is also red, it can be clearly seen.
The Tianhe Holy Water has another function, which is to test blood for paternity. Even for a large family like ours, it can accurately test the relationship between father and son or mother and son.
As it happens, this holy water contains a drop of your mother's blood. With just your blood, we can test whether you are Murong Ying's son?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar on the field.
Although he recognized the wrong person, this approach was undoubtedly disadvantageous to them. Le Zhengfang came out as their aunt to deny the matter.
"Elder, please be careful with your words. Please forgive my rudeness. My brother and sister-in-law are dead. They are both from Taoist families and have orthodox Taoist bloodlines. The talk of the demon clan is a serious slander."
Le Zheng Qiming knew that he had recognized the wrong person, so he pretended to be panicked and calmly pulled Le Zheng Shuiling behind him, which was to protect her.
Although Le Zhengfang's words were calm, they were firm and unquestionable, which eased the originally noisy atmosphere a little. However, Le Zhengrong did not seem to be shaken by her words. He had a firm look in his eyes and believed in his words without a doubt.
Le Zheng Qiming pretended to be panicked, but he was actually calm. He also knew that he had to respond calmly now, otherwise if he revealed a flaw, the consequences would be disastrous.
He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound as calm as he pretended. "Elder, I, Le Zheng Qiming, have never done anything to offend the Le Zheng family. You said that I am the son of the demon clan. Do you have any evidence?"
Le Zhengrong smiled coldly and raised the small transparent bottle in his hand: "This is the evidence. As long as your blood drips into this Tianhe Holy Water, everything will be revealed."
Le Zheng Qiming looked at the small bottle, and his heart tightened. He knew that once his blood was tested and found to be unrelated to Murong Ying, they would point the finger at Banxia and start to suspect others. If they wanted to suspect, then let them suspect him. Therefore, he could not just sit there and wait for death, and had to find a way to stop all this.
At this moment, Le Zheng Yuhua stood up and said loudly: "Elder, Qi Ming is our brother who grew up together. We know his character and behavior very well. He is definitely not a member of the demon clan. We are willing to testify for him."
Le Zheng Shui Ling also immediately echoed, "Yes, we all believe Qi Ming. There is absolutely no problem with his background. Please don't believe the rumors and wrongly accuse a good person."
Le Zheng Qiming grabbed her hands tightly and held them behind her back, preventing her from showing her head.
Le Zhengrong sneered, looking at Le Zheng Yuhua and Le Zheng Shuiling, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes: "What do you two kids know? Tianhe Holy Water is a treasure refined by a certain Taoist master using Tianhe water, and he has never missed it. Since you say I am wrong, and you can only rely on oral words without real evidence, you might as well use it to verify the identity and see if this Le Zheng Qiming is the son of the demon clan!"
As he said this, he was about to walk towards Le Zheng Qiming, ready to forcibly take his blood. However, at this moment, a powerful voice suddenly sounded: "Stop!"
Le Zhengfang's figure rushed over. She seemed to understand Le Zheng Qiming's protection of Le Zheng Shuiling, and also understood that Le Zheng Qiming wanted to make the best of a bad situation. She deliberately protected Le Zheng Qiming and wanted to snatch the holy water, but Le Zhengrong easily dodged it.
"My brother, sister-in-law and their children are no longer alive. Even if you are elders, you should not slander them like this. Elders, ask everyone how many people witnessed it."
Le Zhengfeng and Le Zhengliang stood aside without saying a word, but were always observing the reactions of the crowd. It was obvious that Le Zhengqiming and Le Zhengfang's performance had successfully convinced them, and they also knew that they knew the truth.
If even Le Zheng Qiming knew the truth, Murong Ying's return and Le Zhengmin's death would be enough to make them doubt Le Zheng Qiming's motives for concealing his life experience.
Le Zhengqin stood up. He always felt that Le Zhenghe's child was taken away and hidden by Le Zhengzhi, but not in Jimen Pass.
So he didn't care about Le Zheng Qiming's blood dripping into the bottle, and even thought it was a good opportunity for everyone to recognize the truth and stop targeting Le Zheng Qiming.
"No one should make groundless accusations before there is evidence." Le Zhengfeng and his companions thought that Le Zhengqin was going to stand on the opposite side and were about to get angry, but Le Zhengqin said, "In order to calm the matter down, this will be the most direct evidence. Tianhe Holy Water will tell us the answer."
