Chapter 469: Purple Jade Wrench
"Sure enough, it's an inner ghost...... Sure enough, it's the inner ghost ......" Beimen Yuan trembled with excitement, "He Quan, take everyone in the Wuji Courtyard for trial for me, even if you kill a thousand by mistake, you have to find out the one who eats inside and out." β
"The head of the North Gate family, it's not so nonsense to find the real culprit. Even if it's a descendant of your own family, it's a human life. β
"Then what should I do? Do you expect Lord Lu? Lord Lu has been investigating for a whole day, first suspecting Wuji, and now Wuji was also killed by the murderer. β
"The head of the North Gate family doesn't like to hear this. Since the head of the North Gate family has such a big grievance, then the official will tell you about the scope of suspicion in this case, I'm afraid you don't like to hear it. β
"My son is dead, what else do you don't like to hear? Lord Lu wants to find out the real culprit to avenge my son, and the old man will directly kowtow to you to apologize. β
"This official's reasoning is reasonable and the evidence is conclusive, the only omission is that this jade cicada is not in the hands of the North Gate Wuji Gongzi, but was given to Gong Xiaoxiao by him to offer flowers to the Buddha.
If this jade cicada has been in the hands of Beimen Wuji, then do you think this official's speculation is reasonable?"
Beimenyuan was speechless for a while. Knowing a son is not as good as a father, the reason why Beimen Yuan believes in Beimen Wuji so much is that he knows that Beimen Wuji is not the kind of ruthless and unrighteous person. But if you really want to say that the jade cicada has always been in the hands of Beimen Wuji, the murderer can indeed only be him.
But now that the jade cicada was obtained by the murderer from Gong Xiaoxiao, naturally Beimen Wuji is innocent.
"Then I'll ask the head of the North Gate family again, the murderer first kidnapped Gong Xiaoxiao, got the jade cicada from Gong Xiaoxiao, and then used the jade cicada to trick Hui Xuan and trick her into suicide after killing Gong Xiaoxiao. As for the modus operandi, this official has already said it before. β
"Lord Lu, Hui Xuan is not a three-year-old child, how can she be so easily deceived?"
"Don't say it, a little girl who grew up in Jingyue Nunnery and has never seen a man is really so easy to deceive.
Of course, the premise is that the murderer knows everything about Beimen Wuji, and he must be familiar with your Beimen family. And Hui Xuan also knows this person, and knows that the relationship between this person and Beimen Wuji is trustworthy.
Then, he first killed the young lady of the Beimen family, then deceived Hui Xuan into martyrdom, and then poisoned Beimen Wuji. Who is it that has such a deep hatred for you?"
Beimen Yuan's eyes flickered, "The Beimen family has been based on martial arts for hundreds of years, and it is naturally impossible to say that there has never been an enemy. But even if you have a feud, you can know everything about Wuji's private affairs...... I can't think of it. β
"The official can't think of it, so the official only has one guess, this person must be close to Beimen Wuji on the surface, but in fact he hates it. The matter of Beimen Wuji and Hui Xuan...... I'm afraid I don't know much, right?"
"Alas-" Beimen Yuan sighed, "Before that, the entire Beimen family was only known to the old man. β
"I don't even know my family, so who can make Beimen Wuji say everything to him......"
"Gong Qiyu!"
In the crowd, a voice sounded, and Lu Sheng turned his head to look at the north gate unintentionally.
"Gong Qiyu, the eldest brother and Gong Qiyu are best friends, the Gong family and the Beimen family are world friends, Gong Qiyu and my eldest brother are the same age, the two have practiced swords together since childhood, and then walked the rivers and lakes together......"
"Unintentionally, Hugh is talking nonsense, how can it be Qiyu? He and Wuji are brothers who have exchanged lives. β
"Dad, I actually found out that Gong Qiyu is a villain a long time ago, every time he comes to our house, he looks at his sister-in-law's eyes wrong. If Lord Lu's speculation is true, then Gong Qiyu is the most suspicious.
And...... Before my sister-in-law's accident, he came to our house twice in three days, but after my sister-in-law's accident, did he show up?"
"This ......" Beimen's unintentional words made Beimenyuan hesitate.
"Having said that, but when I invited Gong Buqi to help, Gong Buqi mentioned that Gong Qiyu was sent by him to the Lingyan Sect to practice half a month ago, and he can only come back after half a year. I don't think it's going to be him......"
"Anyone who is suspicious cannot be ruled out. Why didn't the head of the North Gate family send someone to the Lingyan Sect to verify, if Gong Qiyu had been in the Lingyan Sect for so many days, it would naturally not be him, but if he wasn't there, then it could really be him. β
Lu Sheng turned around and looked at the sun that was about to set, "It's not early, everyone, the official will leave first, and the official will investigate the case tomorrow." Everyone, please remember that the murderer you encountered this time is not an ordinary martial arts person, and you must not be reckless and impulsive, let alone startle the snake. β
Although each other's gunpowder smell was very strong at the beginning, at this moment, everyone's goal is the same and they naturally let go of their prejudices. After this period of calmness, Beimenyuan also recovered from the pain of losing a child.
Although Beimen Wuji was killed by the heartworm when Lu Sheng expressed his suspicion of him, this heartworm had been planted three days ago, and the death of Beimen Wuji really had nothing to do with Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng wants to find out the real murderer, and the head of the North Gate family and the White Spirit Sword Sect have to find the real murderer. The natural alliance was formed.
"Lord Lu or don't live in our village, there are still ...... spare rooms at home"
"No need, I have other things to deal with when I go back to Xuantian Mansion. Spider, Sun You, let's go. β
Back in Jiangling Xuantian Mansion, Lu Sheng and the others did not rest, but ordered the Jiangling Branch to transfer the information of the Gong family.
After looking through the information, Lu Sheng's eyes suddenly flashed, "The Gong family is actually the largest jade merchant in Jiangling Mansion, and almost all the jade shops in Jiangling Mansion are the property of the Gong family?"
"Yes, compared to the martial arts sect, the survival method of the martial arts family is more flexible, they are between the rich and the martial arts, they have a fixed business, and they are involved in the disputes of the rivers and lakes.
However, compared with the martial arts sect, they obeyed the laws of the imperial court more and rarely clashed with the government. Therefore, our embankment of the martial arts family is far less strict than that of the martial arts sect. β
"That's interesting, Gong Xiaoxiao wanted to buy a jade wrench for Beimen Wuji and went to Jiangling City. Nearly seventy percent of the jade shops in Jiangling City belong to the Gong family, and then Gong Xiaoxiao disappeared...... The relationship between the Gong family and the Beimen family is so good, and Gong Xiaoxiao needs to go to Jiangling City in person......"
"In this way, the palace family has every chance to grasp Gong Xiaoxiao's whereabouts?" said the spider on the side.
"Now many suspicious people are gathered on Gong Qiyu, the Gong family...... But even if there is any suspicion, we don't have enough evidence. β
"Didn't you say that the Beimen family would verify that Gong Qiyu was not in the Lingyan Sect?"
"What can we do even if people don't anymore? Jianghu people are adrift all over the world, even if he says that he has run to the ends of the earth, we have nothing to do with him, right?"
"My lord!" At this moment, Sun You suddenly knocked on the door.
"What?"
"There is a message from the brothers under Fang, but it has not been verified. Eight months ago, a vendor from Gangneung Province came back from Anqing Province.
The sun was rising, and suddenly lightning flashed and thunder roared, and ten thousand rays of light rose in the sky. The vendor was so frightened that he hid at the foot of the mountain, thinking that it was Lei Gongdian who had quarreled.
Suddenly, with a whoosh, an object slammed into his head, breaking his head and bleeding. At first, the vendor thought it was a stone, but when he picked it up, he saw that it was a purple jade wrench.
Then, the merchant picked up the purple jade wrench and returned to Jiangling Mansion, and used it as two thousand taels of silver. With 2,000 taels of silver, the merchant bought a shop and a house in Gangneung Province.
Originally, this matter should be very secretive, but it is only because this windfall is too bizarre. It was as if God had sent it to him, and after coming and going, the news spread, and the people were amazed, as if the story had been made up into a story by the storyteller. β
Listening to Sun You's words, Lu Sheng's eyes changed very magically. After Sun You finished speaking, Lu Sheng took a deep breath, "That'...... It was eight months ago, it wouldn't have been the time for me and Li Haoran to fight, right?"
"This ...... In Anqing Province...... Lightning and thunder roared, the earth shook and the mountains shook...... It seems to be. Sun You looked at Lu Sheng suspiciously, "That purple jade wrench won't be ......?"
"Originally, the purple jade wrench was the token of the head of the Haotian Sword Gate, and that day Yan'er and I slashed his body with a sword, but I didn't want Li Haoran's body to be recast into a demon body by the magic sword.
And the purple jade wrench should have shattered under that sword......"
Speaking of this, Lu Sheng's voice paused suddenly, and he quickly stood up, "You, go find the vendor immediately and verify whether this matter is true." β
"Yes, I'll go. β
In the darkness of the night, the silent city of Gangneung fell into a dead silence. Even the latest Qinglou is closed at this time.
After closing, the shopkeeper does not go to sleep directly, but settles the day's operating income and keeps accounts. In this primitive era, a good memory was essential for doing business.
You must know that many door-to-door customers are on credit, in this era of great importance to reputation, credit does not need to be written, and who settles the cash and who is credit, all by staring at the storekeeper's memory.
Guo Dongli is the shopkeeper of the grocery store, and a year ago, he was an inconspicuous street shopkeeper. But in this life, there is one life, two lucks, and three feng shui.
Guo Dongli's life is not good, he was not reincarnated into a rich family, let alone a family of nobles. Born in a hard-working family, he has been drifting for half his life. It took half a lifetime to do it, and the merchant had a stable income.
But when people come to operate at this time, it is really mysterious and mysterious. Guo Dongli never thought that suddenly one day a wealth would come to the door.
That day, the lightning and thunder thundered and the sky cracked, saying that it was a fight between the gods, but Guo Dongli didn't believe it. But whether the gods are fighting or the treasures are born, the benefits fall on his head, and that is true.
He also knows that wealth is not exposed, and if he makes a windfall, he can keep a low profile. But who let this windfall come too strangely? I just said it so casually, and it was known to the whole city in a short time.
They are all too poor and making trouble, and no one asks, and the rich have distant relatives in other places. It's good to be rich, but it's also a lot of trouble.
But fortunately, after more than half a year, this matter has gradually subsided.
In gratitude for the good fortune bestowed by God, Guo Dongli renamed his grocery store Tianyou. If it weren't for the fact that the name was obtained by the dead father and mother, and it was unfilial to change it, Guo Dongli would have changed the name to Tianyou.
The business of the grocery store is getting better and better, and seeing my son grow up day by day, it can be said that he will be a family in five or six years. Guo Dongli whistled happily and hummed a song.
"Bumperβ"
A fierce knock on the door sounded, which frightened Guo Dongli. β
"Who, the shop is closed, come back tomorrow-"
"Xuantian Mansion, open the door!"
