Chapter 568: Allies
Hearing the monks behind him talking about the Li family's treasury, Liu Yunfeng also said: "It's really strange, the Li family has so many treasures, so what is Master Li doing all day long to make a small amount of silk business?"
Huainanzi smiled, lowered his voice and said: "I have been neighbors with him for decades, and I can often watch who comes and goes in his house, so one thing is clear: these treasures in his house are not his." ”
Ning Xiaoxian's ears moved, and he couldn't help but listen intently: "Those people who often come in and out of his house, I also saw them in another place later, guess where they are?"
She was embarrassed, this Huainanzi still has the potential to tell stories, and she likes to fish people's appetite when she speaks. Liu Yunfeng probably knew his old friend's temper very well, and said very cooperatively: "Where?"
"Heavenly dwelling. ”
I see! Her footsteps paused imperceptibly. After receiving this news, her heart suddenly brightened.
Her opponent snatched the 100,000 catties of spiritual tea that she wanted to sell to the Heavenly Residence from the warehouse of Ning Ji Yao's storehouse, and then left clues along the way, wanting to mislead her to the Li Mansion. It seems that the Heavenly Residence is also well aware of the truth that all eggs cannot be put in the same basket, so this very inconspicuous Li Mansion seems to be an ordinary mortal rich family, but it is actually a secret warehouse where the Heavenly Residence stores treasures.
At the important juncture when Bai Yujing's sale is about to start and all the immortal cultivators gather in Shangdu, if the heavy news of the hidden stream robbing the Heavenly Residence warehouse breaks out, don't say how the Heavenly Residence and the Supervision Bureau will want to deal with her. The pressure of public opinion alone is enough for her to drink a pot beautifully, and no one understands the truth of "human words are terrible" better than her, an outsider in China.
The man was prepared with both hands. Seeing that Li Zhai was always quiet, Ning Xiaoxian was not fooled, so he set a fire and burned seven or eight out of ten of the things in the dark warehouse, and gave false testimony to frame her. Luckily, she knew when she saw the fire that the fire could destroy ordinary evidence, so her enemies wanted to frame her words. It must be tokens, weapons and other things that can withstand high temperatures, so Ling Kuma entered the chamber before the others and stole the evidence first.
When the Superintendent arrived. She was also at the scene like everyone else, so if there was anything hidden at the scene, it would not be used as evidence.
It's just, why is it Li Zhai. Why is this dark warehouse? The stall of the Heavenly Dwelling is too big. Therefore, there will never be only this one hidden warehouse in the entire inner city, why did the other party choose Li Mansion as bait? Not to mention that it is because of the closest relationship, she believes that there must be other hidden warehouses closer to Ning Ji Trading House, but why did the other party risk being caught up and choose Li Zhai alone?
Moreover, the secret of the secret of the secret warehouse set up by the Heavenly Dwelling here, after all, only a very few people know about it. In this way, isn't the identity of the other party already about to be revealed?
Can she be at the mercy of this person and frame him at will? Ning Xiaoxian clenched his fists. He sneered in his heart: "Don't think that you have done it perfectly, I really can't help you?"
The hour has passed. Even the stars in the sky have dimmed.
After bidding farewell to Huainanzi and Liu Yunfeng, she returned to the inn with the hidden guard.
The interrogation of the guard was over. This person was instructed by someone about half a year ago to come to the medicine company to apply for the position of guard, and he didn't have much impression of his top boss, only knowing that the other party was dressed in black when he met him, and he was short in stature, if it wasn't for the generous remuneration he gave every time, he wouldn't want to do this job for a long time.
For this result, Ning Xiaoxian was not surprised. This man was of low strength, and she hadn't planned to dig up any useful information from him. Qi Zai Qi said: "How did the hostess recognize this guy as a traitor at that time?"
"This idiot!" she glanced at the guard who was limp on the ground, "He sneaked into the kitchen while the guy was not paying attention and poisoned the tea, and he probably had a little deer powder on his hands, he was afraid that he would be discovered, so after drinking the spirit tea with everyone, he also went to wash up." ”
Therefore, he thought he was in good hands, but of all the guards, he was the only one who did not have the slightest smell of the young deer. If I don't arrest him, who else can I arrest?"
She covered her mouth with her sleeve, yawned, ignored the others, and slowly walked back to her room, where she slept soundly.
In the early morning of the second day, she drank a bowl of hot bean juice first, and then read the two pieces of information brought back by Qingluan energetically, and the corners of her mouth slowly hooked up a smile and said, "Interesting!"
……
On this afternoon, she welcomed a guest.
This person is of medium stature, and his face has been treated with supernatural powers, and outsiders look like flowers in a fog, and they can't remember his appearance. He entered the guest room, and first laid out the enchantment before unraveling the spell, revealing his true face.
"Steward Wu. She made a cup of tea for the other party.
"Don't dare to be. Steward Wu smiled strongly. He is such a delicate person, but his face today is ugly, even if he has supernatural powers, he looks like he is blue and white and withered, "Elder Ning, what is the matter with me? ”
When Ning Xiaoxian sent someone to invite him, he didn't want to come. There was such a big thing yesterday, and the punishment of the heavenly dwelling has not yet come down, if he breaks another rule, I am afraid that the gods will not be able to save him. But the message brought to him by Ning Xiaoxian touched him with a few words: "Suffering in vain, are you willing?"
He was unwilling, how could he be willing? Finally, he had the hope of promotion, but now he was beaten down, and he had to start from scratch!
"The secret warehouse of the Heavenly Dwelling in the Li Mansion is under your name, right?" The first piece of information that Qingluan got from the record was about the Li Mansion. This hidden warehouse has been built for decades, and it has only been assigned to Steward Wu for management in the past two years. With his rank and level, he didn't have this power originally, but the people above him helped him win it, and sure enough, with the credit of taking care of these few secret warehouses in an orderly manner, Steward Wu was quickly promoted from the third-level steward to the first-level steward, and then jumped up two times in a row, and he was on the same level as Juan Niang.
Steward Wu glanced up at her and didn't speak. Ning Xiaoxian was able to ask someone to come to him and ask him something like that, which showed that she already knew a little about his background.
He acquiesced.
"It was hard last night, right?" Ning Xiaoxian looked at him sympathetically, "I was also at the scene at the time and participated in the firefighting. ”
Steward Wu could only smile bitterly, opened his mouth, and finally sighed. He went to the Supervision Bureau overnight to check his confession, and naturally saw Ning Xiaoxian. However, the Superintendent could not find any useful clues on the scene.
The dark warehouse under his jurisdiction was burned, and the loss exceeded millions of spirit stones, and there were even several lots of Bai Yujing's sale in it! This matter has even shaken the upper echelons of the heavens, and the punishment for him will definitely not be light, can you leave this little life behind, or two words.
Ning Xiaoxian stared at him closely, not letting go of any expression on his face, and then said slowly: "It was Juanniang's subordinates who killed people and set fire to Li Mansion yesterday. ”
Steward Wu raised his head suddenly, two balls of light burst out in his eyes, and he said urgently: "You, what did you say?!"
"I said, it is Juan Niang who wants to ruin your future and life. Only then did she tell him in detail what happened to her last night, including the theft of the spiritual tea, going to Li's house, and fighting the fire.
Steward Wu's face changed again and again when she heard this, sometimes confused, sometimes hideous, and when she took out the Ning Ji token that Master Li was still holding in his hand before he died, his expression was basically calm.
Steward Wu actually believed eighty percent of her words. If this woman does not want to help, she will do nothing, and she will be severely punished by heaven, and if she wants to fall into the ground, she must do so, and she wants to make some kind of agreement with herself, and she is most likely to be reciprocal and mutually beneficial.
Strictly speaking, Juan Niang and Steward Wu did not have any holidays themselves, but after Steward Wu was promoted, he occupied the position of one of Juanniang's henchmen. Moreover, in the elders' seat, Juan Niang and Steward Wu's immediate boss are mortal enemies, which leads to the fact that subordinates have no choice but to fight each other. Manager Wu is reliable and can satisfy his boss, so in the evaluation of the organization, his comments are worthy of heavy responsibility, that is, he intends to focus on training. Seeing that the subordinates of the opponent were about to be reused, Juan Niang naturally had to share her worries for her master and try her best to make some stumbling blocks, so she often embarrassed Steward Wu.
But setting fire to his secret warehouse?
The matter is very serious, even if Steward Wu already believes it in his heart, he still has to ask one more question in his mouth: "Is there any tangible evidence?"
Ning Xiaoxian snapped his fingers, and the hidden guard dragged a person out of another room.
This person had been trembling, and when he saw Ning Xiaoxian and the two of them, he only shrunk into a ball, and he no longer had the dignity of a monk. Two of the hidden guards she brought out this time were from the Thorn Hall and were masters of torture, and those who were tortured by them would not leave any scars on their bodies, but they were on the verge of mental collapse.
She pointed at this person: "This person is the first guy in the Li family's room last night to rush to rummage through Master Li's body." Well, tell me, by whom, what do you want you to say?"
The man said in a low voice: "Yes, it was the first-class deacon Juanniang who asked me to stay near Li's house, and after the fire was extinguished, I rushed to the side of Master Li's corpse, found the token in his hand and the last words on the ground, and then reported it loudly to everyone to know." ”
Ning Xiaoxian smiled and said, "What if Master Li didn't hold the token in his hand?"
His head was lowered: "Then, then take advantage of the chaos to stuff one into his hand." (To be continued......)
