Chapter 25: Excuses
Everything is very secretive, and the gray slave seniors did not find the slightest abnormality in her, no different from before, and even when checking the condition of the ghost plant, she was more attentive than before. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is still relieved, but there are a few regrets and melancholy.
When leaving, although he was already very careful, he was still unintentionally seen, and seeing Zhuo Ning's appearance of avoiding people's eyes and carrying a burden, that person suddenly sketched a bold plan in his heart.
That night, many ghost plants in the medicine field disappeared, spanning the three major medicine fields, and the losses were heavy.
The next day, it was discovered by the supervisor and the medicine slaves that the formation had not been affected at all, which proved that it was done by insiders.
Within a quarter of an hour, the news was passed not only to the gray slave, but also to Li Fan.
The two came to the scene with people.
All the people in the medicine field were gathered and inquired one by one.
This medicine field can be described as the hard work of the gray slave, and it is also highly valued by Li Fan, so seeing the medicine field being trampled on like this, the gray slave's eyes are simply scarlet, if he finds out who it is, he will definitely break him into pieces.
The two stood in the open space of the medicine hall courtyard outside the medicine field, watching several supervisors interrogate one by one.
Random to report forward one by one, nothing abnormal. And it can't be that these medicine slaves can do it, because their jade cards are also handed in, and they can only move in a small area, and they don't have that ability.
So what is even more suspicious is the one who has a higher level of jade.
The gray slave looked at the five of them with a compulsive look and asked one by one, "Where were you all last night?" ”
The five of them answered one by one, and they were all very frank.
The gray slave paced between the five of them, his eyes constantly changing, and he didn't see anything unusual.
One of them suddenly thought of something, and said with some careful guessing: "Senior Gray Slave, among all the people, only Miss Zhuo Ningzhuo is not here, could it be that she did it!" ”
When the other heard this, the corners of his mouth with his head lowered hooked into a shallow smile that was almost invisible.
As soon as this person mentioned it, the first reaction in the gray slave's mind was that it was impossible, and he still had a deep recognition of Zhuo Ning's character.
Even Li Fan, when he heard someone say this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his heart was a little unswerving, and the figure of the person and the eyes that he never concealed flashed in his mind, and he was unwilling to raise the slightest suspicion.
But the gray slave glanced around everyone, and indeed found nothing, and then a trace of speculation rose, and his heart was suddenly shocked, if it was true, it would be a bad thing! He bowed to Li Fan, and then said, "Emperor Li, I have to go to Zhuo Ning's room to have a look!" ”
Li Fan nodded, and then followed behind.
The gray slave did not restrain at all, and hurried to Zhuo Ning's place as fast as possible, and the few people who managed the medicine field also followed behind.
After inspecting Zhuo Ning's room, the things were neatly packed, the person had indeed left, and the book he gave her that time was also taken with him, he could already be sure that Zhuo Ning was going to the Qingluo Desert! Standing in the middle of the room, he stood for a long time, and the look on his face was finally forced to return to calm by himself.
"Senior Grey Slave, what's wrong?" After comprehending what Emperor Li meant, Du Ji asked. The others were also looking at the Grey Slave, waiting for him to answer.
Thinking back to his performance just now, although it was a little extraordinary, but it would still be under control, he knew about it, and he couldn't let Emperor Li know anyway, yes, as long as he didn't say it, no one would know.
"I arranged a trial for Zhuo Ning, which was supposed to set off in five days, because I had to prepare some things for her, I just came to confirm it, but I didn't expect her to go in advance, this trial, the danger is not high or low, but her strength is still a little low, so the danger is inevitably a little greater." The gray slave said with a little deep gaze.
"She was in such a hurry to leave, probably because she wanted to complete the trial I explained to by her own ability. A cultivator can go further, often with strength and luck, and I believe that she will also be able to successfully complete the trial. Then he added a sentence that seemed to comfort himself.
What he said was different from the facts, but the emotions revealed were indeed true, so Rao is Emperor Li also believed it, he mainly didn't think that the gray slave would lie and deceive him, but a little worry quietly rose in his heart.
Oops, the peak turned around, he didn't allow this, Liu Jian's mind fluctuated, he bowed, and said, "But as soon as Miss Zhuo left, this medicine field lost so many ghost plants?" How can you be sure that it has nothing to do with her? Xu is that she did not go to participate in this trial, but absconded with the ghost plant, after all, only Miss Zhuo can enter and exit every medicine field. ”
This is indeed reasonable, and several other people can't help but nod their heads and say yes, especially if the medicine field under their management has lost ghost plants, they agree with it, in order to avoid a certain punishment, they have to find a temporary scapegoat! This missing Miss Zhuo is clearly the best choice.
The gray slave can be so calm now, it is completely relying on suppression, in fact, the worry and guilt in his heart are already as heavy as a mountain, and he can't breathe, listening to Liu Jian pushing the matter on Zhuo Ning's body again, he felt a little angry in his heart, and shouted angrily: "I said that it won't be her, are you questioning my vision?" ”
Before, he vaguely hoped that she could go to the Qingluo Desert, but now that she really went, he found that this heaviness was not something he could bear. After all, if something happens, he will also add fuel to the fire.
Liu Jian's heart trembled, and he replied: "Of course not! The others also did not dare to touch the tiger's whiskers.
Li Fan didn't think that this was done by Zhuo Ning, his breath was released, and Sen Ran's cold gaze swept past these people one by one, and the few people who looked at it were in a cold sweat, and their hearts were broken.
Liu Jian couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, not so daring to look at Emperor Li's gaze.
After a while, Li Fan withdrew the momentum on his body and looked at Du Ji.
Du Ji took a step forward and said ruthlessly: "The medicine field has placed a shadow stone, which will be automatically emptied on the first day of January, and yesterday was not the time to empty it, so now I can see what happened last night, if I am interested, I will take the initiative to stand up, if it is found out, it will not be the same treatment!" But he was very puzzled in his heart, and he didn't know when there was a shadow stone there.
Not only him, but the gray slave was also very puzzled by this, but when he heard that it was Dookie who said it, he really believed it.
Li Fan stood aside, his expression inscrutable, waiting for the man to come out and confess himself. (To be continued.) )
