“Okay.” Although he didn’t know what Zhang Zigu was up to, Luo Chen could clearly tell that Zhang Zigu had come prepared.
Everyone was also very curious as to why Zhang Zigu made that assessment of Zhang Yun right from the start.
Let's see what Zhang Zigu is up to.
------------
Chapter 96 A Premeditated Crime
"Here's what happened."
Zhang Zigu stood tall and imposing, surveying the entire room, and said, "Three days ago, almost everything in my residence was stolen overnight!"
These words immediately drew a chorus of boos, and everyone's gaze involuntarily turned to Zhang Yun on the Heavenly Pride Platform, lost in thought.
A sharp glint suddenly flashed in Zhang Yun's dark eyes.
Zhang Zigu was trying to pin the blame on him.
Zhang Zigu paused for a moment, then continued, "After extensive investigation, I finally identified that shameless thief!"
As he spoke, Zhang Zigu suddenly pointed his finger at Zhang Yun on the stage.
"The thief is none other than Zhang Yun from the Heavenly Pride Platform!"
The entire audience erupted in uproar, and most of the disciples of Yunwu Sect looked at Zhang Yun with disdain.
It should be noted that in the Qin Empire, from the emperor down to ordinary people, theft was a serious crime and one of the most shameful acts.
Zhang Yun appeared to be quite upright on the surface, but unexpectedly he turned out to be a hypocritical thief.
"It's unbelievable that Zhang Yun would do such a despicable thing in secret. He is a disgrace to the sect and has completely disgraced it. He should be nailed to the pillar of shame forever."
"As a disciple of a sect, he has failed to exercise self-discipline and restraint. I suggest that Zhang Yun be sentenced to death!"
A wave of disdain and contempt swept in like a tidal wave, almost all of them supporting Zhang Zigu.
That's understandable.
Zhang Zigu is a veteran prodigy ranked among the top ten on the Prodigy Ranking, and he is deeply respected and loved by many disciples.
In contrast, Zhang Yun, despite displaying great talent, is at best a newly promoted inner disciple.
Within a sect, it's obvious who has the highest prestige.
This is also the main reason why many disciples, before Zhang Zigu could produce any evidence, preferred to believe Zhang Zigu rather than listen to Zhang Yun's explanation.
Zhang Yun frowned, but did not offer any explanation.
Only now did he finally understand.
Zhang Zigu came with ill intentions and was indeed well-prepared.
The so-called apology he sent three days ago was actually part of his plan all along.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Zigu came up with such a despicable trick in order to avoid a fight with him.
"Zhang Zigu, don't make false accusations!" Ye Qianzhi also suddenly stood up and shouted at Zhang Zigu.
Knowing the truth perfectly well, she was furious at Zhang Zigu's false accusations.
"Yes, I also believe Zhang Yun; he is definitely not that kind of person."
Yuan Lingshu also supports Zhang Yun.
Although Zhang Yun is a bit arrogant, given her judgment of people, she believes that Zhang Yun would never do such a thing.
"Zigu, do you have any evidence?" Luo Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.
As the head of a sect, he wouldn't easily accept Zhang Zigu's one-sided story; he would at least need to provide evidence.
“Vice Sect Master, I, Zhang Zigu, will never wrong an innocent person, nor will I let any despicable person go unpunished.”
Zhang Zigu said with righteous indignation, "Therefore, before I present the evidence, I hope that you seniors will keep an eye on Zhang Yun and Ye Qianzhi and make sure they don't leave, lest the evidence be destroyed."
Lu Wuyai first glanced at Zhang Yun with a meaningful look, then his tiger-like eyes fell on Zhang Zigu.
"Zigu, how will you provide the evidence?"
"I would like to ask Peak Master Lu to accompany Zigu to Zhang Yun's residence, and the truth will be revealed." Zhang Zigu bowed to Lu Wuyai, a barely perceptible sneer playing on his lips.
"Alright, I'll go with you. But let me make this clear: if you can't produce any evidence, you'll be falsely accusing a fellow disciple. In that case, even I won't be able to save you."
Lu Wuyai nodded, then his figure flashed and he directly grabbed Zhang Zigu from the fighting arena, stepping through the void at an extremely fast speed, leaving behind afterimages in the void.
"Zhang Yun, do you have anything to say?"
While Lu Wuyai and Zhang Zigu were gathering evidence, Luo Chen looked at Zhang Yun on the Heavenly Pride Platform and asked, hoping that Zhang Yun could say a few words to defend himself and prove his innocence.
After all, he didn't believe Zhang Yun would be that kind of person.
"Vice Sect Master, I've really been tricked this time," Zhang Yun said with a wry smile.
To please Qianzhi, Zhang Yun did not dispose of the things Zhang Zigu had sent.
In other words...
Zhang Zigu will surely bring back a lot of "stolen goods" with him on his way!
In the face of humans who always value evidence, what can he possibly argue?
