Chapter 497: Reversing Right and Wrong
When Qi Ning heard Wei Shutong say that the Black Lotus Sect Master had killed Xiang Baiying, he was shocked, and he only felt unbelievable. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
He had just rushed back to Chengdu from the Black Rock Cave, and after entering the city, he came to the Thorn History Mansion, and when he left the Black Rock Ridge, Xiang Baiying was still safe and sound, how could he first arrive in Chengdu, but Xiang Baiying had been killed by the Black Lotus Sect Master.
And he knew in his heart that in the Thousand Fog Ridge Misty Flower Valley, the Black Lotus Sect Master and the Bronze General were both defeated, looking at the situation at that time, the Black Lotus Sect Master was not lightly injured, how could he suddenly leave the Thousand Fog Ridge and find the Black Rock Cave to kill Xiang Baiying.
Even if this matter was true, how could Wei Shutong know the news so quickly.
"Hou Ye, Hou Ye!" Seeing Qi Ning's shocked expression, Wei Shutong hurriedly shouted softly: "You..... Are you alright? ”
Qi Ning asked, "Master Wei, where did you hear the news?" Yes, I got the news afterwards? ”
"Master Hou didn't hear any wind at all?" Wei Shutong was a little surprised, "As far as the lower officials know, there was already a lot of uproar at this time, and when he entered the city, didn't the Hou Ye see the beggar gang disciples haunting the streets and alleys frequently?" ”
After Qi Ning entered the city, he came to the Assassin Mansion directly, but he didn't pay attention to the activities of the beggar gang disciples in Chengdu, and asked, "Is it the news you just got?" ”
"No, the lower officials have been aware of this news for two or three days." Wei Shutong said: "It seems that this incident has happened in less than half a month, and Xia Guan has many eyes and ears in Xichuan, so he knew it early." Yes, Captain Xuanyuan of the Shenhou Mansion is now in Chengdu, and he seems to have begun to investigate the matter. ”
Qi Ning heard Wei Shutong say that he had received the news for two or three days, not to mention that it had been half a month since the incident, so he knew that it was pure rumor-mongering, just two days ago, he was also taught martial arts to Baiying, although Xiang Baiying was a brother, but he was alive and well, how could he be killed by the Black Lotus Sect Master.
However, Qi Ning keenly felt that since Xichuan began to rumor that Xiang Baiying died at the hands of the Black Lotus Sect Master, it must not be simple behind this, and he immediately concluded that he had nothing to do with Lu Shanghe and Elder White Tiger.
At this moment, I heard someone outside report: "Report, my lord, Captain Xuanyuan of the Shenhou Mansion asks to see you!" ”
Wei Shutong said with a smile: "Captain Xuanyuan is waiting in Chengdu for Hou Ye to return to Beijing together, but he waited left and right, and never saw Hou Ye come back, he and Hou Ye have been better, it is not good to go first, only let Wenqu Captain Han Tianxiao take a few people back to the capital to resume his life first, and he is still waiting in Chengdu." He asked the subordinate to see Hou Ye coming over, and immediately sent someone to inform him. "Let people go and ask Xuanyuan to come in.
After a while, I saw Xuanyuan stepping forward, and when he walked, the tiger walked with a dragon, quite imposing, and Yan Lingxian, the captain of the broken military academy, and Ximen Zhan Ying followed behind one left and one right.
Wei Shutong had already gotten up, stepped forward and smiled: "Captain Xuanyuan! ”
Xuanyuan Po also arched his hand, turned to Qi Ning and arched his hand: "Master Hou!" ”
Qi Ning also stood up, and before he could speak, Ximen Zhanying couldn't help but say, "Where did you run to?" We've been waiting here for more than ten days, and I think you're just having fun, and you've forgotten to go back to the capital to recover your life. There was a lot of dissatisfaction in his tone.
"How do you know I'm having fun?" Qi Ning knew that Ximen Zhan Ying was in a hurry, and they were stranded in Chengdu for more than ten days, which was indeed a kind of torment for people who were in a hurry, but Yun Qingfeng chuckled: "I'm doing business, so it's delayed." ”
"What's the business with you?" Ximen Zhan Ying said angrily: "I don't know who I went around with ...... people!" Speaking of which, I suddenly felt that I had said a lot of words, and the occasion was really wrong, if I was alone, it would be okay to say a few words of ridicule like this, but Xichuan Thorn Shi and Xuanyuan Poju were both present, so it was better to say less, I always had to give Qi Ning some face, and I turned my face away, quite annoyed.
Qi Ning is not good at arguing with Ximen Zhan Sakura in front of several people, thinking that this big-ass girl is still a little wild in her bones, and she is gentle for less than three minutes.
Xuanyuan Po didn't ask much, just smiled and said, "Has Master Hou's matter been done?" I'm here to tell the Hou Ye that I can't accompany me on the road when I return to Beijing on this trip. ”
"Oh?" Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, thinking that you are waiting in Chengdu, isn't it just to wait for me to return to Beijing together, why did you change your mind at the end, wouldn't it be in vain to wait for so many days, but immediately thought that Xuanyuan Po could not pass, I am afraid that it was related to the matter of the beggar gang, and asked: "Captain Xuanyuan is because of the beggar gang leader?" ”
Sure enough, Xuanyuan broke his head and said: "It is reported that the Black Lotus Sect Leader killed the beggar gang leader Xiang Baiying, this is the top case in the rivers and lakes, and he can only stay and investigate." The little junior sister and the seventh junior brother will accompany Hou Ye to Beijing. The temptation asked, "Does Master Hou know where Swing Yi is now?" ”
"Since he said that he was waiting for me in Chengdu, he would not break his promise, and he should find me." After Qi Ning sat down, he raised his hand and motioned for Xuanyuan Po to sit down as well, and Xuanyuan Po arched his hand and sat down opposite Qi Ning.
Yan Lingxian and Ximen Zhan Ying's status was much lower than that of Qi Ning or even Wei Shutong, so naturally they couldn't sit down, they could only stand behind Xuanyuan Po.
Hearing that Qi Ning was very sure that Swing Yi would keep the contract, Ximen Zhan Ying couldn't help but say, "Do you really think that Swing Yi will keep Cigna?" I'm afraid he's already found a place to hide, and you'll never be able to find him again. ”
"Little junior sister, Hugh is talking nonsense." Xuanyuan Po scolded in a low voice, and then smiled at Qi Ning: "Master Hou, in fact, if Swing Yi is here, I want to ask him a few questions." ”
Qi Ning nodded and said, "I understand, you want to start investigating the case of the Black Lotus Sect Leader killing the Beggar Gang Leader from Qiu Qian Yi's side, Captain Xuanyuan, where did this news come from?" ”
Xuanyuan Po hesitated for a moment before he said: "Master Hou has seen the White Tiger Elder of the Beggar Gang, this person leads the White Tiger Seven Residences Branch in the west, among the four elders of the Beggar Gang, the seniority is the highest, and the entire Beggar Gang, except for the Gang Leader, he should be regarded as the second person." Just a few days ago, the disciples of the Beggar Gang suddenly became active in the streets and alleys, which was very abnormal, and the White Tiger Elder suddenly found his humble position. ”
"He found you?" Qi Ning frowned.
Xuanyuan broke his jaw and said: "Yes, it was from him that I learned the news of the murder of the gang leader. ”
"Did he see it with his own eyes?" Qi Ning sneered in his heart, secretly wanting to escape from death to Baiying, Elder White Tiger and Lu Shanghe were naturally worried about settling accounts with Baiying Qiuhou, so they must have planned more insidious countermeasures.
Xuanyuan broke and said, "Elder White Tiger didn't see the Black Lotus Sect taking the initiative, but he learned the truth from Xiang Gang Leader. After a pause, he said, "Master Hou went to Shadow Crane Villa more than ten days ago?" ”
Qi Ning nodded slightly.
"It is said that Hou Ye went with Xiang Gang Master at that time." Xuanyuan said: "I was entertained by the owner of Shadow Crane Mountain Villa. And as far as the humble knows, before Xiang Gang joined the beggar gang, he was the young owner of Fengjian Villa, and he had eight friendships with Lu Shanghe, and he had a fateful friendship. ”
As soon as Qi Ning heard the word "Lu Shanghe", he felt disgusted for a while, but his expression was calm, and he said with a smile: "There are friendships of eight worships, and I really don't know if the friendship has been fateful." Captain Xuanyuan, why did you mention Shadow Crane Villa? ”
Xuanyuan Po did not answer immediately, but got up, walked to Qi Ning, took a letterhead, and presented it to Qi Ning with both hands, Qi Ning was a little strange, stretched out his hand to take it, and saw that the letterhead had been opened, and only "Brother Righteous Brother Qi" was written outside, and there was no money left, so he took out the letter from inside, glanced at it, and frowned immediately.
"Master Hou, this is the letterhead I got from Lu Shanghe, and I left it for the helper." Xuanyuan Po returned to his seat, "The subordinates knew that Xiang Gang Leader and Lu Shanghe were sworn brothers, so after the incident, they found Lu Shanghe, and Lu Shanghe handed over the letter. The content of the letter, Hou Ye also read it, it is said that Lu Shanghe, Hou Ye and Xiang Gang went to White Horse Mountain to hunt that day, and many people saw it on the way, so there should be no fake. ”
Qi Ning frowned and said, "This is indeed the case!" ”
"In the middle of hunting with the gang leader, he suddenly felt unwell and left White Horse Mountain first." Xuanyuan Po stared at Qi Ning and said, "When you go back from hunting, Xiang Gang Leader has already left and left this letter." ”
Qi Ning naturally knew that this letter was fake, and there was another forged letterhead that day, and Qi Ning also handed it to Xiang Baiying to see, and it was proved that the message was fake, and the note was useless and not kept, but at this time, such a letter suddenly appeared, which naturally contained evil intentions.
"The letter made it very clear that I had an appointment with the helper and wanted to go to the appointment alone." Xuanyuan said: "I didn't make it clear to the gang leader who he was going to, but what happened after that, according to my speculation, the gang leader Xiang should have gone to see the Black Lotus Sect Master." After a pause, he asked, "Master Hou, not only what I said, but there are omissions?" ”
Qi Ning thought to himself that what you said was generally good, but the most fatal joint was not compatible, and he did not immediately refute it.
He knew that the matter was extremely strange and complicated, so he was not in a hurry to speak, he listened to Xuanyuan Po before making plans, and said with a smile: "You go on." ”
"Three days after Xiang Gang Leader left, he suddenly appeared in Xinping Town." Xuanyuan said: "Xinping Town is where the rudder of the beggar gang Kui Wood Wolf is located, at that time, Elder White Tiger was in Xinping Town, and when he saw Xiang Gang Leader, Xiang Gang Leader was already seriously injured and dying. ”
Qi Ning secretly thought that this was not wrong, and did not speak, Xuanyuan Po continued: "According to the evidence of Elder White Tiger and several disciples of the Beggar Gang who were present at the time, Xiang Gang Leader was already powerless to return to heaven at that time, but before he died, he personally told them that it was the Black Lotus Sect Leader who injured him with his evil skills, and he also handed over the Aoki Ring to Elder White Tiger and entrusted him with the future. ”
Qi Ning frowned and said, "In other words, Xiang Gang Leader died in Xinping Town. With a faint smile, he asked, "In that case, of course, the corpse of the Xiang Gang Leader is in the hands of Elder White Tiger, which should be right." There was such a big case on the rivers and lakes, and Captain Xuanyuan was a person from the Shenhou Mansion, so he naturally inquired in person, and he must have seen the corpse of the gang leader. ”
Xuanyuan Po shook his head, his expression was grim, and said, "I didn't see it, because I stole the body of the gang leader. ”
