The Fragrant Wood Swordsman
pkh 12 part 6

"Please calm down and let Twa-suheng talk!" Lian Ci Tojin exclaimed loudly, and this tosu was already excited by Kiang Tojin's decision.

"This decision must be taken by Kun-lun-pai given that someday Siang-bhok-kiam will always cause uproar in the world of kang-ouw, he said, being a scramble that would cost many lives in vain and because the sword that had always been in Kiam-kok-san was rightfully ours, then we must keep it with the promise that we Kun-lun-pai are not greedy for the inheritance of others and will not use the sword to search for the relics of Sin-jiu Kiam-ong!"

This last greeting was a relief to the guests but disappointed the Kun-lun-pai tosu especially Sian Ti Tojin and Lian Ci Tojin.

"Well, yeah, pinto felt it was obvious to the kang-ouw world generally that Kun-lun-pai had strong reasons to keep the Siang-bhok-kiam and now the issue of Cia Keng Hong with Kun-lun-pai was finished. Now we have a cu-wi who wants to sue this young man to make his claim."

Kiang Tojin was clever in his attitude of defending Keng Hong. He did not press or ask Keng Hong for the execution of the decision because he was worried that Keng Hong would outright reject and incite anger on the part of the Kun-lun-pai tosu. Later he will use his influence to force the young man to give up Siang-bhok-kiam properly. Then, by giving the guests the opportunity to make an accusation, then his suitors had no chance to urge Keng Hong.

"Cia Keng Hong raped Hoa-san-pai's student Sim Ciang Bi and then killed him, witnessed by the victim's younger brother who is now present, Sim Lai Sek," coa Kiu Hoa-san-pai. "The heinous sin must be atoned for by the death penalty for this wicked young man!"

"Cia Keng Hong raped two female students of Hoa-san-pai and killed them, but also killed our sute Kok Cin Cu and some of Kong-thong-pai's students. His sin was even greater against us and even though he died ten times he still could not atone for his sin!" kok Sian Cu.

"He also killed many of our disciples from Tiat-ciang-pang. He must be put to death in order to keep our big name trampled on!"

Silence for a moment after the three representatives of the three major parties dropped their accusations and all eyes looked at Keng Hong who was still bowing his face.

"Cia Keng Hong, how are you going to answer these Locianpwe accusations?" Kiang Tojin asked, his voice filled with tremors as his heart was grieved.

He was very worried because if what was accused was really, how heavy the sin of this young man and it was very bad if he or Kun-lun-pai were to protect him. If the kang-ouw figures were to disturb Keng Hong for Sin-jiu Kiam-ong's actions, he would defend Keng Hong. But if what is demanded is all the actions of this young man himself, there is no way he can interfere.

Cia Keng Hong shook his head and replied in a calm but firm voice, "All the charges against me are false slander! I did not rape Sim Ciang Bi the son of Hoa-san-pai's student because the relationship between us was on a voluntary basis, and I did not kill him, even if there were witnesses who dropped false slander. I did not kill Sim Ciang Bi! Regarding the affair with Kong-thong-pai, Kok Cin Cu totiang did not die by my hand. The two female disciples Kong-thong-pai meant were definitely Kiu Bwee Ceng and Tang Swat Si. Just like Sim Ciang Bi Hoa-san-pai's student, the two of them were also very kind to me and the relationship between us was based on liking, no rape at all. The one who killed them and their brothers and sisters with their brothers and sisters with poison is not me. Same with Tiat-ciang-pang. They ganged at me in self-defense, and some of them were killed by secret weapons and not by my hands!"

"Wah-wah-wah, coward! Dare to take no responsibility!" snarled Coa Kiu, one among Hoa-san Siang-sin-kiam was angry. "If you do not claim to have killed all of them, but the proof is that they died, do you want to say that they killed themselves?"

"Keng Hong! Will you deny that my great-grandson died in your arms?" Sim Lai Sek snapped furiously.

"All the villagers saw how many of our disciples the woman you raped and then all of our students' children you poisoned!" also Kok Sian Cu.

Keng Hong glanced to the left and now he saw Sie Biauw Eng who had been awake since then and heard all the trials that tried Keng Hong. He saw how Biauw Eng lowered his face with furrowed brows, the beautiful face looked grieved once.

Fake face, he thought! You are the one who brought all this calamity to me, and you still pretend in a solemn manner to pretend like a grieving person!

Recalling how Sim Ciang Bi twitched with his body still warm in his arms, killed viciously by Biauw Eng, who was, and also remembered how Kiu Bwee Ceng and Tang Swat Si who loved him very much also died by the poison of Biauw Eng, instantly Keng Hong's anger obliterated his strange love for the girl and she became hateful, hateful! Suddenly Keng Hong leapt to the left and grabbed Biauw Eng's body, held him by the girl's arm and dragged him before Kiang Tojin while loudly exclaiming,

"This is the man who killed them all! This is Song-bun Siu-li the daughter of Lam-hai Sin-ni who has a high head and a beautiful face but a heart of the devil! It was he who had killed Sim Ciang Bi in cold blood, also poisoned the disciples of Tiat-kiang-pang with his secret weapon! He did all that out of jealousy, out of envy, because!"
