Chapter 435: Burn Yourself
Zhang Jinchao took out the appearance of a veteran officialdom, his face was calm, his eyes were indifferent, but he said to Wei Qingzhi with just the right amount of respect: "Master Weitang, it is this official who has been an official for more than ten years, and has also been a gentleman of several princes, so he will not admit his mistake."

"Heh-" Li Shangying raised his head, his face was covered with sweat stains, and there was a lot of ash.
The clothes on his body showed signs of being whipped and even torn in some places, and I don't know what kind of torture was used. However, the birthmark on the shoulder, the birthmark that Zhang Jinchao said just now, Meng Shichen saw it.
A semi-circular, black-purple birthmark the size of a copper coin, but not very dark, and should have faded with age to become what it is now.
Meng Shichen's hands clenched in her sleeves unconsciously, and her heart also pounded and accelerated when she saw the birthmark, as if it was beating in her throat, in her forehead, and even on her fingertips.
Moreover, Li Shangying seemed surprised that Zhang Jinchao would say something to hide his identity.
At this time, Meng Shichen only hoped that he would not say anything to refute him, not even a word!
I don't want him to die, this is the only thought left in Meng Shichen's mind. This thought occupied her whole body at this time, monitoring her every movement and every breath, while worrying about whether Li Shangying would show her feet, she was also afraid that Wei Qingzhi would see the clues.
"What Master Zhang said is also reasonable." Wei Qingzhi pondered for a moment and gave such an answer, and then she stared at Li Shangying and said, "Mu Qing, uh, I should call you Li Shangying now." Li Gongzi, what is your intention to deliberately destroy the enchantment rune array? ”
"Intentions?" Li Shangying raised his head in the dazzling light, beads of sweat slid down his cheeks and neck, he swallowed his saliva, and his Adam's apple moved obviously.
After accurately finding Wei Qingzhi's direction, Li Shangying sneered: "I am an outer disciple of the Xuanzhi Sect, and your Guigutang is doing something in Bianjing, so I can't get used to it, so I will destroy it." With such a simple answer, you still take turns to interrogate, are you stupid? ”
No! He was absolutely not telling the truth. Meng Shichen was sure of this, and although this seemed to be a perfect reason, it was actually very bad for the Xuanzhi Sect itself.
The Gongwei of Bianjing is closely related to the imperial court, even if it is a battle in the rivers and lakes, as long as Guigutang folds to the imperial court at this time, they will be sandwiched by the two major forces of the imperial court and the rivers and lakes.
It's not like this to get burned!
Moreover, Li Shangying did not do it on a temporary basis. From the time he asked Meng Shichen where the array was, and finding an excuse to go out with Guo Lingyu, no matter how you look at it, it was all a premeditated act.
"Stupid? This character is now returned to you as it was. Li Gongzi, don't you know that doing so will put your own teacher in a difficult situation? ”
Wei Qingzhi really thought of this, and she said it in a contemptuous voice.
"Xiao Shichen, is this Li Shangying stupid? He didn't do anything to Xuanzhimen at all, could it be that he thought that if he destroyed the enchantment, Guigutang would be looked down upon by the imperial court, and then the imperial court would favor Xuanzhimen? The imperial court will only be afraid of Xuanzhimen, right? ”
Wei Bizhi turned over and whispered to Meng Shichen for analysis. She was nervously watching how Li Shangying would answer, and she didn't pay attention to what Wei Bizhi was saying, but she still nodded in agreement.
The teenager's analysis was affirmed by her, and he couldn't help but smile confidently again.
"The difficult situation is on the premise of being caught by you, if this son is not careless and is caught by you, you will only get the anger and distrust of the court. A Guigutang that is gradually losing the support of the imperial court, will still have the ability to compete with our Xuanzhimen for the first place in the rivers and lakes? ”
Li Shangying closed his eyes in the sun, and his resolute and handsome face gave birth to endless majesty. Even if he was tied to a stake now, it was as if he was sitting on a throne.
Meng Shichen secretly breathed a sigh of relief after listening to his explanation, this explanation was indeed perfect.
Oh, yes! Whether it is a conviction or the investigation and dissatisfaction with Xuanzhimen, it is all on the premise that he is caught, if he is sure that he will not be arrested before doing this, it makes sense.
Sure enough, Wei Qingzhi didn't speak again, and even the elders who were whispering just now were silent.
However, someone pointed the finger at Meng Shichen.
"Mr. Meng, this enchantment is the runic array you set up single-handedly, and you personally taught Guo Lingyu how to set up the array. The old man had also heard Lingyu say that this was a complicated rune array that could be completely fused with the Qimen Dunjia technique. Moreover, the overlapping eyes are staggered, and Lingyu often feels deeply jerky and difficult when he is studying......"
The speaker pauses suddenly, as if to give the listener time to remember the passage in his head.
Meng Shichen also looked at the opposite side with an indifferent face, leaning on it! Isn't it Guo Lingyu's father, Guo Yi? I just remembered her life-saving grace and helped Meng Shichen speak that day, but today she bites back?
It seems that as Yue Yi said, the family has a lot of opinions about her.
Even if it was for money to save him, Meng Shichen regretted it now. This dead old man shouldn't have saved him......
Guo Yi on the opposite side saw that everyone's eyes were attracted, and then said slowly: "With such a complex formation, each formation eye has been accurately destroyed. Mr. Meng, can you explain what this is all about? ”
Scold! Meng Shichen stared at Guo Yi with eyes like an arrow, and the old man really suspected that she deliberately revealed the location of the array to Li Shangying.
Well, in fact she did. But that's all without knowing it! How would she know that when Li Shangying asked about the formation diagram that day, he wanted to destroy the rune array enchantment?
She knew that even if she explained it like this, it would be useless, but she didn't want to add to Li Shangying's guilt, so even if she gritted her teeth with hatred, she didn't open her mouth for the time being.
"What do you mean? Xiao Shichen is not that kind of person! I heard from my sister that she was the one who proposed to arrange the enchantment! Wei Bizhi's young heart couldn't hold his breath and opened his mouth to refute Guo Yi first, and the corner of Meng Shichen's eyes even saw his chest rising and falling because he was too angry.
However, this sentence instantly made Guo Yi speechless.
Meng Shichen hooked his lips and smiled, and glanced at Wei Bizhi with appreciation. Guo Yi said this, is it a slap in the face? If Meng Shichen had the intention to let Li Shangying destroy the enchantment, why did he put forward the idea of setting up the enchantment in the first place?
Just leave it alone, and when Bianjing's problem is serious, the emperor will blame Guigutang for not doing things well.
In that case, the result of Guigutang losing the trust of the imperial court has not changed at all! When Meng Shichen looked at Guo Yi again, the other party was already blushing and couldn't say half a word anymore.
Meng Shichen calmed down, it was time to fight back by himself, don't let others block the gun for him.
