Chapter 158: Slander
"The Mirror Moon Fruit has been stolen!" Nangong Yun stood up with a snort and lost his voice.
The teacup next to him was knocked over, and he didn't notice it.
The eyes of the audience became more and more weird, only Ye Lingyu and Mo Fei, two outsiders, were confused.
"What the hell is going on?" Ye Lingyu asked Shiyan.
"Mirror Moon Fruit, that is a heavenly treasure sealed in a wind and rain pavilion in Loulan. It is a very important thing for Loulan. Shi Yan said, and there was some anxiety in her tone.
"Mirror Moon Fruit?" Ye Lingyu frowned slightly, he vaguely remembered that he had heard her talk about medicinal herbs with Shi Die before.
The Mirror Moon Fruit is said to be a kind of spiritual fruit born under the clear spring on the night of the full moon. Looking at the water, it is like the bright moon in the sky reflected on the water, so it is named the mirror moon fruit. This kind of fruit can only ripen for thousands of years, only on a full moon night, the spirit fruit exudes moonlight brilliance, that is the time to ripen, but this period is only limited to one night, if you can't pick it that night, when the moon sets, it is the time when the spirit fruit withers. A thousand years of time, only one night of ripening, in this short period of time, to happen to meet and pick such a spirit fruit, you have to have great luck.
And the reason why this spirit fruit is known as a treasure of heaven and earth is because people who take the spirit fruit may be born into a ghost moon spirit body. It is a special physique, and people with this physique, on moonlit nights, can cultivate on their own, even in their sleep, and the speed is far better than ordinary people. Cultivation is difficult, and a physique that allows people to cultivate independently in the moonlight is enough to make all martial artists dream of it.
However, there are some limitations, that is, this ghost moon spirit body can only be possessed by women, so this mirror moon fruit will only be useful if women eat it. Of course, this is only possible to have a special physique, and it is more likely that it will not be able to withstand the erosion of the energy in the spirit fruit and will fall from there.
"I didn't expect Loulan to have a mirror moon fruit. Ye Lingyu opened his mouth and sighed.
This kind of natural treasure is hard to find in the world, and no matter how many people step on the iron shoes, they can't find it, but they don't want to be in this small Loulan City.
They should be glad that the news of this Mirror Moon Fruit did not spread, otherwise, this small Loulan City would probably usher in a catastrophe.
Looking at the restless crowd in the scene, Shiyan said lightly: "A few decades ago, there was a great drought in Loulan, and there was no rain for several years, and countless people died of thirst and hunger. However, on a full moon night, a stream that should have dried up suddenly had a stream flowing, and someone went to investigate, and found that there was a bright moon reflected in the water, and later found that it was a mirror moon fruit. Since the discovery of the Mirror Moon Fruit, Loulan has been in good weather since then, and there has never been a disaster. Therefore, the city lord at that time built a wind and rain pavilion, enshrined the mirror moon fruit in the attic, and opened the pavilion to let people go to worship on the night of the full moon, indicating that the wind and rain of the year were smooth. ”
"In this way, this thing is equivalent to the treasure of the town to your Loulan. Ye Lingyu looked around, and said in his heart that it was no wonder that things were stolen, and these guys were excited. It turned out to be a spiritual sustenance.
However, this thief is really bold enough, he actually dares to do something to Jing Yueguo, if he is discovered, it will not be hated by the whole city. There are tens of thousands of people in this city, and each person can drown the thieves with a single spit.
When such a big event happened, the garden party had to be stopped. The two people who were alchemizing on the stage stopped moving and put away the Dan furnace one after another.
Xia Wuji's face darkened, quieting everyone present, and then said in a loud voice: "Don't panic everyone, wait for me to find out the reason, and organize people to catch the thief." ”
Then he turned to the guard, "When did you lose it?"
"Lord Hui, I was still there when I checked last night, and when I went to check half an hour ago, I found that the Mirror Moon Fruit was gone. ”
"How could it be gone, the jade void treasure box containing the mirror moon fruit has been banned, and outsiders can't steal it at all. And there are still spiritual imprints on the box, chase me according to the imprints, and say that you have to chase things back for me!"
As long as there is a spiritual imprint, it can be sensed within a certain range. This thing is a top priority for the entire Loulan, and it has to be recovered no matter what.
Nangong Yun also echoed beside him: "The Xia City Lord is right, this thing is a heavy treasure of Loulan, and it must not fall into the hands of thieves." ”
Xia Wuji saw that the guard was still grinding beside him, so he shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you go and organize people to find things back." ”
The guard hunched over beside him, hesitated several times, but did not say anything.
"What the hell is going on?" asked Xia Wuji.
"Your Excellency......" the guard hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth one last time, "Actually, we've found something." ”
"Found it?" Xia Wuji looked suspicious, looked around the field, and raised his voice to ask in public, "Where did you find it?"
"The ......"
"If you say you, you just say, what are you hesitating about?"
"Lord Hui, we searched in the direction of the spiritual power imprint, and the last place to find something was ......" The guard looked up at Xia Wuji, and finally set his eyes on Nangong Yun, "It's Nangong family!"
There was a gasp under the uproar, and Nangong Yun was completely dumbfounded.
Shi Yan Shi Die, and even Ye Lingyu and Mo Fei were all stunned.
"You...... Don't talk nonsense. Nangong Yun's fingers trembled, and he pointed at the guard and shouted.
Stealing the mirror moon fruit, that is a felony, and it is to be pointed out by Qianfu. The Nangong family is a famous family, and it is impossible to do such a spurned thing. The stolen Mirror Moon Fruit was found in Nangong's house, whether this matter is true or not, it is something that makes the Nangong family lose face.
Encountering this kind of thing, Nangong Yun suddenly couldn't sit still.
The guard seemed to be in a dilemma, but the struggle in his eyes didn't last long before disappearing, and then said solemnly: "We sent someone to track down the spiritual power imprints left on the Jade Void Treasure Box, and finally tracked them down to Nangong Shidie's house, and found the Mirror Moon Fruit in Nangong Shidie's house!"
In the house of the butterfly......
After that, take out a box from the Qiankun ring, the box looks like jade and not jade, it looks extremely extraordinary, obviously this is the jade void treasure box in their mouths, and the things that can be contained in this kind of box can be imagined how high its value is.
The box opened, and there was a spirit fruit the size of a fist lying quietly, and the whole body of the fruit emitted a soft light, and the brilliance was like moonlight.
In the ring, Shidie was also stunned and covered her mouth with her hand.
Nangong Yun's face was extremely solemn and silent. When he heard that Jing Yueguo was found from the poetry butterfly house, he knew that this was a frame-up. Others may steal the fruit, but Shidie will never do it. Shidie's delicate character steals things, unless the sun comes out in the west.
"It can't be. Xia Wuji's eyes rolled, and he also looked very surprised, "I believe others stealing, but if you want to say that Shidie's niece stole it, then I don't believe it, this must have been framed by someone." ”
Nangong Yun also echoed beside him: "Brother Xia is clear, the little girl steals, this is impossible." ”
There were constant whispers in the crowd, and it was clear that there were many people who didn't believe it. Shidie is the proud daughter of Loulan, how could she do such a thing. I am afraid that someone who is jealous of her beauty has come up with such a rough means of planting.
But at this time, the guard confided another sentence in a sincere panic: "City Lord, except."
In addition to discovering the Mirror Moon Fruit, we also interrogated the soldier guarding the Mirror Moon Fruit, and found these ...... from that soldier."
The guard said as he handed over a stack of letters.
Xia Wuji took the letter suspiciously, opened it in front of everyone, and looked at it one by one, and every time he read it, the expression on his face became more serious.
Seeing the change in his expression, Ye Lingyu knew that something was wrong. Probably because he often walked on the tip of the knife, he could smell some intrigue and danger.
And he always felt that when the guard was talking, his eyes were always a little evasive, as if he was in a weak heart.
Xia Wuji finished reading all the letters, and immediately threw them on the ground.
"Presumptuous!" he yelled, only this time at Butterfly.
That fierce expression even frightened Shi Die to take a step back.
"This ...... What's wrong?" Nangong Yun stepped forward in a panic and stood between the two, for fear that Xia Wuji would be angry at Shidie again.
What the hell is going on, wasn't it okay just now? This kind of thing is obviously not done by Shi Die, what is he yelling at Shi Die?
"Let me ask you, is it or is what is said in this letter?" Xia Wuji's eyes were fierce, staring at Shi Die's eyes.
"Letter, I don't know what letter?" Shidie was a little timid, completely unaware of what was going on.
"You're not forcing me to say it, are you...... Oh, well, then I ask you, is there such a thing as it is said in this letter that you have fornicated with the guards and conspired together to steal?"
This time, the audience was dumbfounded.
not only stole the mirror moon fruit, but also fornicated with the soldiers, which is a shocking secret.
In this city, who doesn't know that Shidie is a subtle woman, and actually said that she did such a shameless thing, is Shidie crazy, or is the city lord crazy?
Nangong Yun was the first to rush forward as if he was crazy, grabbing Xia Wuji's two shoulders: "Brother Xia, you can't talk nonsense, this is a thing that ruins the innocence of people's lives, don't talk nonsense!"
Like him, Xia Wuji stretched out his hand and waved it violently, pushing Nangong Yun aside, and then pointed to the letter on the ground: "Hello daughter's handwriting, you can recognize it yourself." ”
It was so righteous and stern, as if it were a serious matter.
Nangong Yun hurriedly squatted down, picked up those letters, and opened them one by one.
After reading it one after another, the content of the letter was so affectionate and affectionate. This is a letter written by a man and a woman? Together, it is clear that it is a story book written by a literati and writer.
If it weren't for the handwriting that matched Shi Die's handwriting, he would have laughed out loud.
Nangong Yun stumbled back two steps, sat down on the stool, and muttered to himself: "No, it's impossible." ”
Of course, this can't be written by Shidie, obviously someone imitated her handwriting, but in front of so many people, how can he explain it.
"I didn't steal it...... I didn't ......" Shidie's eyes were foggy, and she was about to cry out aggrievedly.
Even if she was framed for stealing heavy treasures, she actually slandered her innocence, saying that she had an affair with the man next to her, how could she bear it. But she was not sociable and did not know how to justify herself.
Xia Wuji gestured to the guard: "Bring that person to me." ”
After a while, I saw a man covered in blood dragged up, with his hands tied behind his back, his hair scattered, his buck teeth and fish eyes, and his face as thin as a mouse, and he looked very ugly.
"Is that him?" Xia Wuji asked.
The guard replied respectfully: "Yes, this is the person who stole the Mirror Moon Fruit with Nangong Shidie!"
