Chapter 18: The Mysterious Man
"Now that Dongfang Min has confessed to stealing the promotion pill, then he will imprison her in the dungeon for three months. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info," said the archdeacon.
"Archdeacon, Amin is still young, can you be lenient." The Great Elder bowed tremblingly, the Law Enforcement Hall dungeon was not a place for jokes.
"Leniency? This is already lenient, we are not looking for the real culprit behind the scenes, you can steal the fun. The Seventh Elder said unceremoniously.
"Old Seven, what do you mean by repeatedly slandering me?"
"What do you mean? You know it in your heart. ā
"I don't know."
"Hey, then I'll sue ......"
"Old Seven! You shut up. Big brother, the seventh is angry, don't be surprised. It's just that Amin's punishment should be considered light, Lao Qi not only lost the promotion pill and the ancient pill book, but he also lost a lot of other pills, what tonic elixir and gathering elixir...... It's too many to count......"
The Great Elder's eyes widened suddenly, and he subconsciously looked back at the outside of the Law Enforcement Hall, as if he was looking for something, and then, turning around, he didn't say anything more.
Dongfang Hao wanted to get up, but was grabbed by Dongfang Xin'er and shook his head slightly.
Seeing that everyone was calm, the archdeacon glanced around and said slowly: "Since there is no opinion, come here, press down." ā
Two guards in black clothes, black pants and black hats walked out from the side of the lobby, and Dongfang Min, who was spread on the ground and talking to himself, went down.
The Law Enforcement Hall, which had not been lively for a long time, was once again quiet.
Xin Yuanzhong.
"Xin'er, why didn't you let me follow the words of the Seventh Elder just now to expose the crimes of the Great Elder?" Dongfang Hao was a little puzzled, everything went according to plan, Dongfang Mu found someone to distribute the pill stolen by Xin'er to his subordinates in the name of the Great Elder, and he intended to arrange for the Seven Elders to break the scene of them taking the pills during the investigation of the case, and then cause the Great Elder and the Seven Elders to pinch each other and expose each other's shortcomings in the Law Enforcement Hall, so that everyone could see their true colors and let the Law Enforcement Hall severely punish them.
"What crime? Steal? That's me; Bullying people, preying on the people? It has nothing to do with theft, how to say? Xin'er pouted.
"However, didn't your original plan be to let the Seventh Elder and the Great Elder expose each other's shortcomings when you were trying Dongfang Min, so that everyone could see their faces clearly and uproot them?"
"I underestimated them. Three things happened today, so my plan had to be terminated: first, Dongfang Min bowed her head and confessed, the original plan was that she would not admit it to death, and the seven elders would lead Changfeng and them to eat the stolen pills in a fit of anger, and then go toe-to-toe with the great elders, exposing each other's shortcomings, so that my plan could be implemented smoothly, however, it should be the medicine I placed in the pill that made her a little crazy and confused, she actually confessed, if there is another quarrel at this time, one party will be at a loss, and it will not be able to defeat both; The second and third elders' city government is beyond my imagination, he has a clear mind, he has interrupted the seven elders many times, he will not be easily fooled, let alone participate in the argument with the great elders, what I want to eradicate is the three elders and the first line, not the seventh elder personally. If you go out at this time to expose the Great Elder, you will arouse his suspicions; Three? ā
"What is three?" Dongfang Hao listened to Xin'er's analysis in an orderly manner, and was anxious to know what the third was.
"This third, friends outside haven't come out to see each other?" Dongfang Xin'er said loudly at the door.
Dongfang Hao, Dongfang Mu, and Dongfang Ning all looked at the door, "Xin'er, where is there anyone outside, are you mistaken?" ā
"Four friends, follow me all the way from the martial arts training ground to my garden, what do you have to do, it is better to show up and give advice." Xin'er ignored Dongfang Hao and continued.
There was a faint sigh outside the house, and the bodies of the three of them tensed instantly, and Dongfang Hao held the Biluo Sword at his waist.
"I was discovered...... the door opened, and four tall and handsome figures appeared.
"Dongfang Bai!" Dongfang Mu rushed over like an arrow and dragged Dongfang Bai out, "What are you doing here, get out of here." ā
Bei Mingchen ignored the changes in front of him, but said to Dongfang Xin'er with a smile on his face: "Xin'er, I am Bei Mingchen, the Xuanyuan Kingdom's Bei Ming's family, these two are Ximen Aotian and Nangong Mo, and it was Dongfang Bai who was taken away by Mu." ā
"You're from your own family?"
"yes, we ......"
Dongfang Xin'er walked to the door of the room around Bei Mingchen, who was talking, and said to the two people who were pulling: "Brother Mu, do you have anything we can't listen to?" ā
The two were still tugging.
"I still told my grandfather that I was reluctant to let him go to my house and didn't want to go to the house, so let Changfeng go for me."
Only the voice of Bei Yingchen was left in the whole courtyard, Dongfang Bai and Dongfang Mu stood in the courtyard and looked at Xin'er, for a while, Dongfang Mu silently walked to the house, Dongfang Bai followed behind and shook a white fan.
"What the hell is going on?" Dongfang Hao, Dongfang Mu, Dongfang Ning and Xin'er sat around the table, and the heirs of the four major families leaned against the wall, if they let the people in Xuanyuan see it, they would definitely drop their jaws, when did these four people have been treated like this, but the four people sitting now don't think it's okay, and the four people standing have no opinion.
Dongfang Mu didn't answer Xin'er, but looked at Dongfang Bai who was leaning against the wall.
"Mu, if you think this matter is dangerous, but you have to do it, I can go with you to protect Xin'er to Xuanyuan." Dongfang Ning is always like a fire.
"And me, I'm going home anyway, and Master won't care about me." Dongfang Hao was in a fog, but how could he be absent when Mu needed it.
"Thank you...... Dongfang Mu looked at Dongfang Ning and Dongfang Hao gratefully, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "It is indeed a dangerous but must be done, Xin'er, only you can help me." ā
"Brother Mu, I said that we are family, I know that you have always had doubts about my plan, but you have always helped me, and you are ready to take responsibility for me, you are like this to me, how can I be ruthless and unjust, just say it, what is the matter."
"Three years ago, I went to my house to practice alone, I was very uncomfortable and lonely, but fortunately, the niece of the head of the family, that is, Abai's cousin Su Yun, has always been by my side, and we fell in love." Dongfang Mu recalled the past, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which disappeared after a short time, "Originally, I would have taken her home this year to meet grandpa, father, and you." Unexpectedly, three months ago, she went to the mountain with a team of people to experience and disappeared. We sent a lot of people, but they didn't find them. Until a month later, she was lying in a coma at the door of the family by herself. Later, she festered from the inside out. ā
"Festering? Isn't that supposed to be a pharmacist, why should you look for Xin'er? Dongfang Hao asked.
Dongfang Mu pursed his lips distressedly before he said: "The best alchemists in Xuanyuan are powerless, half a month later, a mysterious person came to Dongfang Mansion, and he said that only Xin'er could save Su Yun. ā
"Mystery man? What he has done to make you believe in him. Also, if the mysterious person designated me to save Su Yun, why didn't you take me directly to my family, why did you want me to be the first in the family? Xin'er asked.
"The fact that the first clan can return to their home every year is decided early in the morning, not because of this matter; As for why you were the first in the race, it was because I wasn't sure if you could save Yun'er, and if I took you recklessly, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to protect your safety, so I want to give you a worry-free identity. Dongfang Mu was silent for a moment, and then said: "Also, that mysterious person has controlled Yun'er's festering, but if he can't find you within two months, Yun'er will die." ā
"Two months? Then why didn't you come back sooner? ā
"This is also the strange thing about him, he said that he must come back to you after the Nine Stars Alignment." Dongfang Mu replied.
