Chapter 33: The Truth
“...... Be. Qi Jin was ashamed and angry, but he didn't dare to say more.
The head glanced at Li Jiu'er.
"Li Jiu'er, you mentioned stealing books twice, why don't you tell me more about that day now. ”
Li Jiu'er, who was originally confident, felt apprehensive in his heart after seeing Qi Jin being reprimanded in public, and now that he saw that the head of the family personally asked about the events of that day, he felt even more weak but had to step forward.
But as soon as she was about to speak, she saw Deacon Li's face. Li Jiu'er suddenly felt that she couldn't take a step, and she couldn't make up her mind what to do, when a dreamlike voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
"If you hate her, you have to say it, and if you hate her, you will kill her!"
Li Jiu'er seemed to wake up from a dream, she looked around, and everyone's eyes fell on her. So just now, was she hallucinating?
"Yes, sir. In the early morning of that day, as soon as Jiu'er arrived at the Medicine Palace, she saw Senior Sister Fuyi sneakily wandering near the No. C Refining Pharmacy, Jiu'er stopped her at that time to ask clearly, and it happened that Elder Mu passed by and asked first.
But Senior Sister Fuyi insisted that Jiu'er told her to go, Jiu'er couldn't get angry, so she argued with her, thanks to Elder Mu's fiery eyes and saw that there was something wrong with Fuyi, so we followed her to the small room where the fire crystal was refined, where Elder Mu searched for a copy of my father's favorite "Famous Medicine Appreciation Collection". ”
Li Jiu'er said, Elder Mu, who was standing beside the head of the house, looked uneasy, and secretly complained, he knew that Li Jiu'er was so stupid, he shouldn't have been obsessed with accepting Deacon Li's fourth-order elixir.
After listening to Li Jiu'er's words, the head nodded and looked at Fuyi.
"Fuyi, what Li Jiu'er said is true?"
Fu Yi noticed that Li Jiu'er deliberately concealed the part of the Medicine King, she shook her head and told the truth about what happened that morning, when she talked about seeing the Medicine King and helping the Medicine King sort the medicinal materials, the surrounding disciples all let out an exclamation, and even Yi Shu was surprised.
Medicine King, how many disciples of Xuanling Pavilion have not seen the Medicine King himself for many years after entering the Pavilion, and even the head of the sect has to make an appointment in advance if he wants to see the Medicine King, not to mention sorting herbs on the side when the Medicine King is refining medicine.
For a while, some people were envious and some were suspicious.
"Senior Sister Fuyi, you don't want to reverse black and white, when will I let you go to the No. C alchemy room to find me?" As soon as Fuyi finished speaking, Li Jiu'er scolded sharply.
The master's gaze stayed on Fu Yi for a moment, and then he turned to look at Elder Mu.
"Elder Mu, were you there that morning?"
His voice was gentle and his tone was gentle, but he was shocked when he heard it.
"Yes......"
"Tell me what you saw. ”
Elder Mu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, glanced at Deacon Li, and then looked at the master.
That morning, when the old man saw Fuyi, she was walking to the corridor between the No. C alchemy room and the big alchemy room. The old man saw that she was not a pharmacist, so he stopped asking, and said that Li Jiu'er called her, but Li Jiu'er refuted it on the spot, and the two argued, so the old man detained his clothes and prepared to investigate, but found a book engraved with the prohibition of the No. C alchemy room in the small room where the fire crystal was refined. ”
There was an uproar at the scene, what Li Jiu'er said was the same as what Elder Mu said, but there was a big difference in the words of Fu Yi.
"So she made it up when she met the Medicine King?"
"How could the Medicine King go to the No. C Alchemy Room, not to mention the Medicine King's temper, no one in the Xuanling Pavilion knows, if she really disturbed the Medicine King's refining, she would have been thrown out of the Xuanling Pavilion a long time ago. ”
"Hypocrisy!"
"Stupid! Thinking that the Medicine King won't appear on such an occasion, he can just talk about it?"
The head stared at Elder Mu, who looked a little unnatural, and spoke again for a long time.
"That morning, the Medicine King was refining medicine in the No. C Alchemy Room?"
Elder Mu suddenly felt that his mouth was dry and he couldn't speak. He promised Li Jiu'er not to spread the matter, but when the head asked, if he didn't tell the truth, he would go to the medicine king to verify, and he would be the unlucky one.
“...... It's ......"
The scene was suddenly silent.
"So it's true that the clothes are sorting the medicinal herbs for the medicine king?"
"The old man doesn't know, but ...... At that time, the ban on the No. C alchemy room was indeed automatically lifted from the inside, and there were traces of outsiders entering, and the old man sensed it before he went to check. ”
The surrounding disciples looked at each other, could it be that Fu Yi Zhen sorted the medicinal materials for the Medicine King? What a great honor that must be!
"Are you sure you took the book from your clothes?"
Elder Mu was about to cry, how could he answer, if he said that he was sure, the head of the family would definitely treat him for the crime of lax care, then his position of protecting the elders would probably not be guaranteed, if he was not sure, Deacon Li would definitely hate him. He knew that the head of the family would personally inquire about this matter, and he said that he would not dare to take Deacon Li's elixir.
"Judging from the old man's investigation yesterday, the book should have been borrowed by the pharmacist and put there and forgotten, and the old man was going to Deacon Li to check the borrowing record today. ”
Obviously, Elder Mu is lying to help Li Jiu'er, that small room for refining fire crystals is messy and dirty, who would go there to read a book if he has nothing to do?
Jing Xin was so angry that she was about to speak, but Yishu pressed her shoulder again.
The head of the house has spoken.
"Before the whole thing is clarified, I will frame others casually, and I will punish you for half a year, can you accept it?"
Elder Mu raised his sleeves to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
"The old man did something wrong, and the punishment was convinced. "It's only half a year, and Li Jiu'er has been saved, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
Jing Xin glared at Yishu angrily.
"Senior Brother Yishu, why are you stopping me from exposing them?"
Yishu glanced at her lightly, looking like he didn't want to say much.
"Do you think Deacon Li can't find the pharmacist who forgot the book in the small room?"
Jing Xin was stunned, thinking that the Medicine King was obsessed with alchemy and never cared about the affairs of the Medicine Palace, and the other elders also turned a blind eye and only took care of the affairs in their own door, Deacon Li had always covered the sky with one hand in the Medicine Palace, and it was not easy to falsify and distort the facts.
"Li Jiu'er, are you sure you didn't ask Fuyi to go to the No. C alchemy room to look for you early that morning?" the head continued to ask.
"Master, before I saw her in the No. C alchemy room that morning, Jiu'er had never met her alone, nor had he spoken to her. Li Jiu'er replied in the affirmative.
The master's gaze fell back on the quiet girl.
"Fuyi, you took the book?"
"It's not. ”
"You may prove that it was indeed the No. C alchemy room that Li Jiu'er asked you to go to that day. ”
"No, you can't. ”
The crisp sound of the clothes turned round and round in the ears of the master.
Can't you?
Looking at the thin but extremely upright figure of Fuyi, the inexplicable head of the house believed her words, and his intuition told him that Fuyi would not lie. But she couldn't produce evidence, and even if he turned to her, the other disciples would only feel favoritous.
For a while, the head was a little hesitant.
"Boss, Yishu has something to say. Yishu, who had been quiet, suddenly stood up.
