Chapter 78: Investigation
"Now, some of them are good to eat, do you want to go back to your hometown in Yunzhou to gnaw the bark with your dregs wife, and grab food with wild forest birds and beasts?"
The white-faced man pinched the woman in red, and scolded softly and angrily: "You little goblin who doesn't make people worry! β
"Say, why do you always like to tear down my platform, be careful adults, I make you cry very rhythmically......"
Hearing this, the woman in red "sneered" a few times, and first laughed rhythmically.
At this moment, Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba walked to the office.
The two of them saw that Bai Ti and her concubine called "Chao Chao" were like glue, and they hugged each other inextricably, as if no one was there, and couldn't help coughing a few words.
"Ahem, thank you, Master, Lord Yin of the Mansion specially ordered me to send a message to let you deal with the case submitted by the General's Mansion."
Hachi said with an embarrassed face.
"Ahem, thank you, Master, Lord Yin specially said that Fengtian Mansion is a public place, a private matter...... Let's be a little more restrained......"
As he spoke, Xiao Qi handed over the case file in his hand to Bai Lei.
Bai Lei stretched out his hand to take the case file, waved his hand, and motioned for Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba to step back.
Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba also felt that this scene was very "spicy", and they didn't want to stay longer, so they gave up their hands and turned to leave.
Bai Ti's hand was still on Chaochao's waist.
Chao Chao twisted his body, lowered his brows, straightened his clothes, and was about to get up from Bai Ti's arms.
Bai Lei pressed Chao Chao's movements, and reached out to stroke Chao Chao's white jade-like face, "What are you afraid of, has Fu Yin seen me once a month?" Have you inspected me once? β
"Even if he knew that my behavior was not compliant, he didn't turn a blind eye to ......"
Chao Chao squinted his eyes and covered his mouth, and smiled softly: "This is all thanks to the time when he traveled to Yunzhou...... You stupid blind cat touched a dead mouse and saved his life. β
After speaking, Chao Chao stretched out his hand and pointed to the case file, and asked coquettishly: "What are you going to do next?" β
Bairemo rubbed Chaochao's face, full of tenderness.
"My little heart! Of course I'm going to work......"
"Don't worry, I'll be done with those irrelevant matters soon, and after that, I'll come back and fight you for three hundred rounds!"
Subsequently, the master Bai Lei reluctantly left the court, and took the case file and took people out to investigate.
.
At the same time, in "Yuli Xuan", Guo Zhixi was dressed in a golden veil, with lazy eyebrows, and retired from the subordinates and ate alone.
At this time, the wind curtain moved, and Ji Tiangang made the light power float into the house.
Guo Zhixian put the sweet and sour fish in her mouth, and without raising her eyelids, she opened her lips and said, "You know you're back?" β
The man behind him did not answer.
Guo Zhixian was not annoyed, she continued: "What are you doing standing in the back? Sit down! β
The person behind him didn't answer, but just obediently sat next to Guo Zhixian.
"Since yesterday I was done with that thing, it has quietly disappeared......"
"I thought you left the General's Mansion again!"
Ji Tiangangwu picked a few peanuts from the plate and put them in his mouth, and said casually: "No, I just haven't been to Zhenhao City for a long time, just wandering around." β
"Fortunately, that's all, otherwise today, I would have wasted the creamy peanuts I specially prepared for you."
After hearing Guo Zhi's words, Ji Tiangang couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and looked at Guo Zhixing with a complicated expression.
Guo Zhixun also felt that something was wrong, although it was just a meeting in Pingshui, but she was vaguely familiar with Ji Tiangang, and she couldn't help but want to care about him.
Since the last time he left, she asked Jin Sanjin to investigate his whereabouts, but unfortunately, because the information she provided was too vague, she didn't get anything.
Guo Zhixi has long had doubts about this.
She is not defenseless...... But she ...... Although he knew very little about Ji Tiangang, he was allowed to be so close and handed over many secret matters to him to deal with, this trust from the bottom of his heart...... For no reason.
Is it really, because she's too lonely?
.
In short, she didn't want Ji Tiangang to leave her side so soon.
"Perhaps, I'll need your help lately." As she spoke, Guo Zhixian patted Ji Tiangang on the shoulder.
Ji Tiangang's face was painful, his hand touched his shoulder, and he shrank his body.
Guo Zhixian thought that Ji Tiangang had always been cynical, with a smile on the corner of his mouth...... But since he came back this time, she faintly felt that Ji Tiangang had lost his former vitality, and he had a pale face, looking preoccupied.
His situation made her feel a trace of heartache and uneasiness, which made her ...... I remembered Jin'er.
Seeing Guo Zhixing looking at him worriedly, a trace of warmth flowed through Ji Tiangang's heart.
However, he doesn't want to be a burden to her!
Ji Tiangang held his body and said stubbornly: "You don't have to worry, although Zhou Jinmu ...... Still, I'll help you with anything......"
Guo Zhixing saw that Ji Tiangang's face, which was originally as white as Ning Xue, was haggard for three points, coupled with Fang Cai's retreat as if pulling the wound, she couldn't help but ask worriedly: "I don't want to talk about this problem, you ...... Where exactly have you been lately? β
Ji Tiangang pulled out a miserable white smile, waved his sleeves and waved his hand: "You don't have to be careful...... I left the General's Mansion to go back to the Shengfei Sect to deal with some affairs......"
"Have you forgotten that I am still the left protector of the Holy Fei Sect?"
Guo Zhi's golden eyes dimmed, and he muttered in his mouth: "Shengfei Sect ......"
Strange names, strange places, like the missing, broken, and indescribable ...... in the heart.
"yes...... You are still the left protector of the Shengfei Sect! β
"Is your family also in the Saint Fei Sect?" Guo Zhixian's eyes looked at Ji Tiangang with burning eyes.
Ji Tiangang suddenly felt a sense of cowardice, he held his chin and didn't look over.
Even his voice added a touch of dullness.
"Right...... The position of the Left Protector was passed down to me by my father...... As for my mother...... My mother is also in the Shengfei Sect......"
After hearing this, Guo Zhixi's heart felt a trace of loss that even she hadn't noticed.
She couldn't help but blurt out, "Then you, why did you come to me?" β
"No why, can't you?"
Ji Tiangang replied hurriedly, but he didn't really answer the question, he frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally said helplessly-
"Well, if you have to have an answer, then I can tell you ...... too."
"Because I like it, I do!"
Guo Zhixun knew that Ji Tiangang's appearance and tone were playing tricks on her again, and she had no choice but to let him go: "Okay, I won't pursue it." β
Then, she beckoned to Ji Tiangang again, "I still have one more thing that you need to help me deal with, come over with your ears." β
Ji Tiangang obviously didn't want to have any physical contact with Guo Zhixi, so he rolled up his blue and red sleeves and carefully attached his ear.
"You help me ......"
In the afternoon, the sun was shining, and the master and the men and horses he led entered the general's mansion in a mighty way.
Among them, the most conspicuous person is the person who was subdued and escorted by the officials.
He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a short nose and a small mouth, white and fat, a wide neck and a round face, dressed in a brown-yellow caftan brown, carrying a gray cloth bag, full of copper coins, and looks like a small merchant and a peddler.
The general was extremely concerned about this matter, and although he was still wounded in his heart, he still insisted on personally assisting in the investigation.
At this moment, the general and the people who worshiped the master had all arrived in the council hall.
The general, dressed in a gray-white caftan and brown with his hands on his forehead, looked as if he had aged in his twenties in a matter of hours.
Bai Ti was dressed in a deep Zhuzi robe, holding a folding fan, leaning over and arching his hands, and stating the situation to the general sitting on the top position.
His voice was low and his words were clear.
"After I received the case file submitted by the general, I began to investigate the source of the poison of 'Xuanxuan's life and death'."
"I know the general must have such a question - why did he start the investigation with this medicine."
"I can tell the general about this matter slowly."
"According to the information obtained by Fengtianfu, the poison of 'Xuanxuan Life and Death' is a specialty of the Yijiang Gu Clan, and the output is scarce, and even less flows into Bai Qin."
"So, following this clue, I investigated and secretly visited for four hours......"
"Finally, I found this person."
As he spoke, he pointed at the fat white man who was being controlled with the folding fan in his hand.
The general frowned and blurted out, "Where did this person come from?" β
Bai Lei opened the fan, fanned the wind, and said, "This person was captured by Fengtianfu in the underground trading market of True Hazy Cityβ"
"The Xi people who specialize in selling Gu poisons are called 'Jin Li'."
"As for what makes him specialβ"
"That's itβthe 'Xuanxuan Life and Death Tribulation' in True Hazy City all flowed out of his hands!"
After hearing Bai Ti's words, the white fat man Jin Li still did not change his true colors as a businessman in the crisis, and began to boast to himself: "That's right, our industry is a monopoly industry!" β
"I can guarantee that the 'Xuanxuan Life and Death Tribulation' I got is absolutely regular, and there is absolutely no cutting corners, and the fake one pays ten!"
"If I bought it from someone else, then I can't guarantee it......"
Bai tired and shook his hand, closed his eyes and nodded, and said directly to Jin Li: "As you said, combined with Mrs. Xu, I am sure that I have absorbed the real 'Xuanxuan Life and Death Tribulation'...... There can be such a way of thinking......"
"The poison used by the poisoner is purchased from you!"
Hearing this, the white fat man's face changed, his head was sweating profusely, his eyes dodged, and he said in a rough voice: "This ...... Maybe he has the ability to get it from the tribute channel or from the underworld. β
Bai Lei said with an understanding face: "I can't rule out this possibility!" β
Then, his eyes were cold, and he stared straight at the white fat man Jin Li.
"But, I'm not investigating the gangsters, I'm not investigating the tribute escorts, I'm investigating you!"
"Say it!"
The white fat man Jin Li was stunned and asked, "Say ...... Say what? β
Bai Lei said to him without question: Of course, it is the name and surname of all the guests who have purchased the 'Xuan Xuan Life and Death Tribulation' from you in the near future! β
The white fat man Jin Li waved his hand, glared at his eyes and said: "Although you are an official government, I am also a responsible and conscientious businessman, and I will not leak the information of the guests to you!" β
"Besides, we are just small merchants and hawkers, if we are not regular customers, between merchants and customers, who knows whose name and surname!"
Seeing that what Jin Li said made some sense, he fanned the wind in a hurry, and said to himself: "Oops, I almost forgot that this is not a pharmacy, and it will take a lot of effort to investigate the person who bought the medicine." β
The general sitting on the top of the throne frowned slightly, his expression was solemn, and he didn't say a word.
Bai Ti held his chin in his hand, his eyes kept rolling, and he asked Jin Li tentatively, "That...... If the person who bought medicine with you was standing in front of you, would you recognize him? β
The white fat man Jin Li was rough-spoken, obviously not seeing the hidden trap in this sentence, he smiled and said with a fat face, "Of course!" I'm just a peddler, but my memory is amazing! β
"Don't say it's recent, even if it's a year ago, as long as that person is the person who bought medicine for me, I can definitely recognize it at a glance!"
Bai Lei applauded with satisfaction, bowed slightly at the white fat man, and had a plan in his heart.
