After Elder Qi stared at Shen Muzhi for a long time, he suddenly smiled slightly and said, "Boy, otherwise, how about you tell the old man who the murderer is, and the old man is in charge and lets you go?"

I have to say that this is a very tempting condition.

However, Shen Muzhi couldn't admit that he knew who the murderer was, and he couldn't even say those three words after seeing them.

Because, Xu Yi is also involved in the willow kite.

No matter what the purpose of the Sanhe Gate is for the Willow Kite, but it is enough to show the importance of the Willow Kite to the Sanhe Gate if a master of the upper realm does not hesitate to take action in person.

Now, Xu Yi doesn't know where to go, and he may even be suspected of killing the disciple of the Daming Sword Sect, if Shen Muzhi says that the murderer is Xu Yi at this time, he may be able to clear his suspicions, but at the same time, there is also a risk of exposing that he helped Xu Yi snatch the willow kite.

Once exposed, the promise that Elder Qi had just given would probably have to be invalidated immediately.

Perhaps, there will be suspicions that the death of the disciple of the Great Ming Sword Sect was jointly committed by them and Xu Yi.

At that time, Shen Muzhi not only got rid of the suspicion, but was afraid that there would be one more trouble on his body.

Moreover, as to the fact that the murderer is Xu Yi, he is just guessing, and there is no real evidence.

Moreover, the death of the disciple of the Great Ming Sword Sect, the promise given by Elder Qi may not be taken seriously. No matter how respected Elder Qi's status in the Sanhe Sect was, he was only an elder of the Sanhe Sect after all, not an elder of the Great Ming Sword Sect. When the time comes, as soon as the people of the Great Ming Sword Sect come, if they insist on feeling that Shen Muzhi and the others are suspicious and refuse to let them go, will Elder Qi still oppose the Great Ming Sword Sect for them?

Shen Muzhi knew all of this very well in his heart, so as soon as Elder Qi finished saying this, Shen Muzhi immediately replied: "Although the juniors really want to clear the suspicions on the two of us as soon as possible, the juniors really don't know who the murderer is, and they have never seen it, so they really have nothing to say." ”

When Elder Qi heard this, he didn't care, and said with a faint smile: "That being the case, then I can only wronged you to stay in this courtyard for two days first, and wait for the people from the Great Ming Sword Sect to come and take over!" As he spoke, after seeing Shen Muzhi wrinkle slightly, he added: "Of course, if you think of something during this period, you can let people come to me, as long as you can say the answer that can make the old man feel feasible, then the previous promise is still counted!"

"Okay! If the juniors have any ideas, they will definitely come to the seniors as soon as possible. Shen Muzhi nodded in response.

After Elder Qi looked at him and smiled, he summoned Zhang Yuan over again and ordered him to take Shen Muzhi to arrange with Lin Changying.

Shen Muzhi said goodbye, and after leaving the lake with Zhang Yuan, he walked around the pear orchard for a while, and was led to several wooden houses that were connected together.

The simple wooden house is full of traces of time.

Zhang Yuan pointed to a room on the east side with a closed room, and said, "That is the room where your junior sister lives, and you can choose one of the others." ”

Shen Muzhi glanced at the six or seven rooms, which were slightly small, but they were all about the same. Shen Muzhi thought about it for a while, and then chose the room that was separated from Lin Changying.

Zhang Yuan had no opinion, and after nodding in agreement, he warned: "It is estimated that the people from the Great Ming Sword Sect will come over in two days. For the past two days, you'd better be honest when you stay here. You are not allowed to wander around the garden without our permission, and it is better to stay in your room honestly, remember?"

Shen Muzhi was a little unhappy with his tone, and he didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he walked straight to his room.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan was very angry, and snorted angrily: "See how long you can be crazy!" After speaking, he turned around and left.

As soon as Shen Muzhi walked to the door of the room, next door to him, he opened the door, and Lin Changying walked out.

"How is it?" As soon as they met, Lin Changying couldn't wait to ask.

Shen Muzhi was worried that the wall had ears, and replied cautiously: "What else, when I went to save you, I didn't show up at all, that person naturally didn't recognize me!" As he spoke, he groaned slightly, and then deliberately asked: "When you fought with them at that time, did you notice that there were other people next to you?" After speaking, he also winked at Lin Changying twice.

Lin Changying was originally a little strange when she heard Shen Muzhi's question, but then when she saw him winking at her, she suddenly understood. For some reason, looking at his inexplicably cute blinking, a string somewhere in Lin Changying's heart seemed to have been gently brushed by Shen Muzhi's eyelashes, trembling slightly, and making a slight but inexplicably joyful sound.

She was stunned for a while, and then suddenly came back to her senses, her eyes flashed and she didn't dare to look directly at him, with a little joy and shyness that she couldn't even notice, lowered her eyes slightly, and replied softly: "No!" In that low voice, there was a little less coldness in the past, and more a trace of imperceptible gentleness.

Shen Muzhi's mind was around this room at this time, and he didn't notice the subtle changes in Lin Changying's mood at the moment, and after hearing Lin Changying's answer, he immediately pretended to be sad and said, "Then this matter is a little bad." In case they can't find the real murderer, if they insist that we are the murderers, this matter will be a bit difficult to deal with!"

"What should I do then?" Lin Changying raised her eyes slightly, and in her bright eyes, the light like stars seemed to be brighter at this time.

Shen Muzhi pondered for a moment and sighed: "Let's take a step at a time, in the past two days, you can try to contact Elder Yu." ”

Lin Changying nodded: "Okay." ”

......

At this time, in the pavilion by the lake, Elder Qi, who was standing quietly, suddenly opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth hooked, revealing a slight sneer, and muttered in a low voice: "What a cunning boy!"

It seems that if you want to pry something out of this kid's mouth, you have to take some fierce medicine!

While Elder Qi was thinking about it, Zhang Yuan came over.

"Settled down?" After watching Zhang Yuan salute, Elder Qi asked lightly.

Zhang Yuan nodded: "Well, they have all settled down." As he spoke, he raised his head slightly, glanced at Elder Qi's face, and asked tentatively, "What does Elder Qi think the people of the Great Ming Sword Sect will do with these two?"

Elder Qi glanced at him, and after thinking about it for a while, he didn't answer and asked, "You said before that when you found the golden crown in the past, he was in a coma, right?"

When Zhang Yuan heard this, he was slightly apprehensive, and cautiously replied yes.

After hearing this, Elder Qi narrowed his eyes.

When Zhang Yuan saw it, he became more and more worried, did his old man blame him for not going in time?

Just when he was uneasy in his heart, Elder Qi suddenly said again: "That kid said that after he used his sword to repel the golden crown, the golden crown immediately fled. What happened after he fled, he didn't know. If that kid is telling the truth, Yuan Zhen was not killed by him, and Jin Guan was not stunned by him, but someone else, then, since this murderer has the strength to stun Jin Guan in such a short time and kill Yuan Zhen, why not just kill him together?"

Zhang Yuan listened and didn't dare to say more.

In fact, he didn't believe what Shen Muzhi said at all, in his opinion, what Shen Muzhi and Lin Changying said was all quibbles. They killed people!

But he didn't dare to say it. He could see that Elder Qi was inclined to the murderer and not the two of them.

He didn't answer, and after Elder Qi himself pondered for a while, he suddenly asked Zhang Yuan, "Does Yuan Zhen offend anyone else here?"

Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and after coming back to his senses, he quickly thought about it carefully, and then replied: "I don't know about this either." However, I heard from Jinguan that after Yuan Zhen came here, he did a lot of worry-free things. If you want to offend people, there must be. But they are basically ordinary people, even if these people have the heart to retaliate, they don't have the strength to do anything with him, let alone kill him!"

Elder Qi glanced at him and said, "But if Yuan Zhen was in a coma at the time, killing him would be an easy matter!"

Zhang Yuan couldn't help but be startled, and looked at Elder Qi blankly, wanting to refute, but he didn't seem to be able to find the words to refute.

At this time, Elder Qi suddenly asked something again: "Is it certain who did the escape of the spirit before?"

"It should be that Xu Yi! I asked the person from the Great Ming Sword Sect, and he had actually returned to Wushan City five or six days ago!" Zhang Yuan replied.

After hearing this, Elder Qi fell silent.

Zhang Yuan stood respectfully and waited quietly.

After a while, Elder Qi suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "What is the relationship between this Xu Yi and Yuan Zhen?"

Zhang Yuan couldn't help but look slightly different: "Do you think ...... Yuan Zhen may have been killed by Xu Yi?"

Elder Qi didn't say yes or no, but said, "You just have to answer the question." ”

Zhang Yuan had no choice but to accept the strange color on his face, and after thinking about it, he said something: "I heard that in order to lure Xu Yi out of Wushan City, Yuan Zhen faked the news from the door and led him to a Jedi. Xu Yi almost died inside. ”

When Elder Qi heard this, he muttered, "In this way, it is reasonable for Xu Yi to want to kill Yuan Zhen!"

"Do you really think Yuan Zhen was killed by Xu Yi?" Zhang Yuan asked softly after hesitating for a moment.

Elder Qi didn't answer.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan hesitated again and again, but still said: "Even if Yuan Zhen really killed Xu Yi, but this matter, even if we say it, the Great Ming Sword Sect may not be willing to accept it, and it is even very likely that it will bite us back at that time, thinking that we are deliberately biased in favor of the real murderer, so we will put the blame on Xu Yi!

Elder Qi glanced at him and said, "You don't have to worry about these things. For the past two days, you just have to keep an eye on those two people. Don't be harsh on them, and don't make them too comfortable. Also, if they're going to contact someone, just let them do. If they want to see me, just bring them to see me, and you don't have to tell me about it!"
