Chapter 68: The Return to the Li Mansion (Part II)
At this time, Luo Qing's uncle Li Yan slowly opened his eyes.
"Yan'er, you're finally awake. The old woman looked at Li Yan with teary eyes and said excitedly.
"Father, mother...," Li Yan shouted softly.
"Ah, Meng'er, you're finally home!" When he saw Luo Qing for the first time, Li Yan shouted, and the outpouring of feelings made Luo feel very real.
"I'm sorry, you recognized the wrong person. Luo Qing's pretended expression was a little unnatural.
"Like, you look a lot like my sister, dare to ask you?" asked Li Yan in a weak voice.
"I'm here to heal you. Luo Qing looked at Li Yan and said, "But later I found out that you are the source of the Yongcheng plague this time, so I have some questions for you." ”
At this time, the two old men and the old housekeeper were on the side, but no one made a sound, just listened to Luo Qing's inquiry.
Li Yan nodded and said, "You can ask, I will tell you everything I know." ”
"Have you come into contact with any strangers in the past two months? I mean practitioners. Luo Qing asked.
"Nope. Li Yan recalled carefully for a moment and said: "Because I have hidden injuries on my body, I usually don't go out and walk around, and occasionally I go out to accompany my wife and daughter to go shopping, and I have never come into contact with any strange cultivators. ”
"Have you eaten anything strange lately in terms of food? I mean before the plague broke out. Luo Qing asked again.
Li Yan shook his head and said, "No, I usually eat normally, and I eat all the food in the house, if there is a problem with the food, then I shouldn't be the only one who gets the plague." ”
"That makes sense. Luo Qing nodded, then turned his head to look at the other people present and asked, "Attached, in the past two months, have any strange things happened?" ”
The two old men both shook their heads, so Luo Qing looked at the old butler.
The old butler pondered for a moment, and suddenly seemed to think of something, so he said: "One night, there was a thief in the house, but then the thief was discovered, and the courtyard searched for a long time, but it was still not found, and nothing was lost in each room afterwards, so it was gone." ”
Hearing this, Luo Qing smiled and said, "The dignified Li Mansion is heavily guarded, and the masters are like clouds, what thief dares to break in at night?"
"Do you suspect that this thief is from the Li Mansion?" At this time, an old master who did not speak finally spoke.
"Do you think that outsiders can understand the environment of the Li Mansion so well? They can get out smoothly under the noses of so many nursing homes, presumably the nursing homes of the Li Mansion are not low!" Luo Qing said.
Suddenly, the old butler had a flash of inspiration, thought of something again, and said, "Cousin... Young Master Qing, on the morning of the second day of the thief incident, the people found that there were a lot of dead rats around the courtyard of the eldest young master. ”
The old housekeeper originally wanted to call Luo Qing's cousin, but when he just shouted 'cousin', he found that Luo Qing was frowning, so he changed his name to Qing Gongzi.
"Dead rats, how are those subordinates cultivating, and what about them now?" Luo Qing asked once.
The old housekeeper said: "This group of subordinates are all ordinary people, and they were all infected with the plague later, and now they are all gone. ”
Hearing this, Luo Qing fell into deep thought.
At this time, Li Yan suddenly spoke: "On the night of the thief, I remember that I seemed to be restrained by some kind of force in the room later, and I didn't know anything after that. ”
At this time, Luo Qing frowned again, and wanted the housekeeper to ask, "What strangers have been in the house recently?"
"Stranger? I don't think so. The old housekeeper shook his head, thought for a moment, and then said again: "If you want to say that there are no living people in the mansion, the eldest grandson of the fifth room has recently accepted a concubine, and he is still a cultivator, and he has fascinated the eldest grandson of the fifth room all day as if he had lost his soul. ”
"Cultivator, how is she cultivating?" asked Luo Qingxiang, the old butler.
"In the late stage of enlightenment, we are approaching the peak of enlightenment. The old housekeeper said: "And a few days after she came to the Li Mansion, there was a burglar incident in the mansion. ”
"It seems that there is something wrong with this woman. Luo Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Where is she?"
"It's... She hasn't reached the sensing realm yet, and she's already gone out of the city with the crowd!" said the butler.
Luo Qing shook his head and said, "If this plague was designed by her, then she must still be in the city." ”
At this moment, someone from outside the door came to report: "Qiqi Old Lord, the City Lord's Mansion has been attacked, and now the flames are soaring, do you need to send someone to support?" ”
"Who dares to be so bold, under such a situation in Yongcheng, and even dare to attack the City Lord's Mansion, you bring a team of people to support. "The old master commanded the people who came.
"It looks like the fish has been hooked, I have to go to the City Lord's Mansion. Luo Qing smiled, then took out a few bottles of pills, and said: "These five bottles of pills are used to treat hidden injuries, take one pill in five days, and you can be cured within a month. ”
After speaking, Luo Qing said goodbye and left.
"Son, are you going now?" asked the old woman.
"I'm going to the City Lord's Mansion, if the prediction is right, the people who attacked the City Lord's Mansion are going to destroy the medicine, and if you take down the attacker, you can find out the real culprit who caused the plague!" Luo Qing said.
"Then where do you come to live in Yongcheng, or do you want to move to live in the house?" said the old woman softly.
"No need, I live in Tianxianglou, that's good, if his condition repeats, you can go to Tianxianglou to find me. After speaking, Luo Qing took a step forward, and the person disappeared, and when he reappeared, he had already arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.
In fact, it was not the City Lord's Mansion that was on fire, but the reserve warehouse of the City Lord's Mansion was on fire, and the firelight illuminated half of the sky, because the manpower was basically sent to build a steam bath, so there were not many garrisons left.
When some forces saw that the City Lord's Mansion was on fire, they also sent people to support, all of them were cultivators, although they were not very powerful, but it was still easy to extinguish the fire, and the fire in the warehouse of the City Lord's Mansion was extinguished in a short time.
But unfortunately, the entire warehouse of medicinal materials was burned, and there was not even a residue left.
When the guards of the City Lord's Mansion appeared, they escorted a person wearing night clothes to Luo Qing, and it was Nan Ming, the son of the City Lord, who led the team.
Nan Ming looked at Luo Qing and said, "Little friend, this is the person who set the fire tonight." ”
Luo Qing tore off the mask of the man in black, and saw the person's face clearly, it turned out to be a woman, and at this time, someone suddenly shouted: "Isn't this woman the concubine He Huan, the grandson of the fifth room of the Li Mansion, two months ago!"
Luo Qing looked at the person who spoke, this was one of the people sent by the Li Mansion to support the City Lord's Mansion.
"Oh, it's her. Luo Qing smiled, looked at the woman, and said, "It seems that my analysis is correct, you do have a problem, what should I call you, is it a cousin or a demon?"
"Hmph... I don't know what you're talking about?" He Huan snorted coldly.
Luo Qing smiled: "I don't know what I'm talking about, but as a cultivator, don't you know that there is something in this world called a storage ring?"
"What do you mean?" He Huan asked.
"My meaning is very simple, so the medicinal materials for curing the plague are all provided by me, such a precious thing, how can I store it in the warehouse, I am not stupid enough to put the space ring without it. Luo Qing looked at He Huan and smiled contemptuously.
"It turned out that it was your ploy to lure me to burn the medicinal herbs. He Huan said with annoyance on his face, but he didn't expect that he would be fooled in the end.
"Tell me, you are not from the Demon Continent, why do you have demonic qi on your body, why did you use demonic qi to evolve the plague and kill so many innocent people?" Luo Qing asked.
"Hahaha... Want to know? I won't tell you. After speaking, He Huan wanted to bite off his tongue.
However, Luo Qing quickly pinched her cheek, so that she could not bite her tongue successfully, Luo Qing smiled: "Why bother, even if you bite off your tongue, I still get what I want from your memory, unless you destroy your brain." ”
At the beginning, Luo Qing wanted to learn from the King of the Eastern Regions the method of checking other people's memories by clicking on other people's heads, but the King of the Eastern Regions told Luo Qing that as long as his mental power was strong enough, he could do it, so there was no need to learn.
The female in front of him, her mental power is very weak, with the strength of Luo Qing's selfless spiritual power, it is effortless to check all her memories, he just wants to listen to this woman explain the matter herself, after all, the Li family has been involved now.
"You liar, I'm not going to tell you anything. He Huan said angrily.
"Oh... Since you don't believe it, then let's try it, but don't cry when you have a splitting headache!" Luo Qing said with a smile, and then invaded He Huan's spiritual sea, and then invaded her memory.
In fact, Luo Qing didn't check her memory, just so that she could confess by herself, so he deliberately stimulated her spiritual sea and gave her a headache.
"Ahh What did you do to me?" He Huan screamed in pain.
"I didn't do anything, I was just looking through your memories, just doing so would be tantamount to digging out your brains, so there is a little pain, you bear with me, I'll look it up for a few more hours. Luo Qing said calmly.
"Ahh It hurts to death, what do you want to know, I said, please don't look at it again, ah..."He Huan shouted again.
"It would have been better sooner!" Luo Qing said, but at this time, he could secretly enjoy in his heart, as long as He Huan could make it clear, then she was just using the Li family.
Luo Qing asked, "What is your relationship with the Li family!"
"I have nothing to do with the Li family, but I saw that the Li family has a lot of power in Yongcheng, so I used my beauty to deceive the eldest grandson of the Li family's fifth room, and finally successfully entered the Li family to cover my identity. He Huan said.
"Did you plant the source of this plague on the eldest son of the Li family?" Luo Qing asked again.
"That's right, the identity of the eldest son of the Li family is not low, but he has hidden injuries, and the source of the plague is heavy on him, first, he is easy to deal with, and he has an identity, and others will not find him casually. He Huan said again.
"Okay, I have one last question. Luo Qing looked at He Huan and asked, "What about your other accomplices?" I believe that such a big thing can't be planned by you alone. ”
"They..." When He Huan said this, his brain suddenly exploded directly, and he died directly on the spot, and everyone present was full of astonishment when he saw it.
"It's the Forbidden Pill, she was taken the Forbidden Pill before her death, maybe even she doesn't know the effect of this Forbidden Pill. Luo Qing looked at Nan Ming and said.
"What is the Forbidden Word Pill?" asked Nan Ming.
Luo Qing said: "The forbidden pill is a kind of pill that some super forces let them take when they send tasks to the people below, and the person who takes this pill will trigger the pill once he says something that involves secrets, and then the pill will directly explode the head of the leaker." ”
This forbidden pill, Luo Qing also found it in Qing Yuan's memory, in fact, many big forces have such pills, especially those forces that walk in the dark night.
"There is still such an elixir in the world, and such a force is too vicious, even his own people will not let go. Nan Ming sighed.
Luo Qing didn't answer Nanming, he just smiled, he didn't expect that the son of the city lord was so old that he would say such a childish thing.
