Chapter 160: A Very Black Face
Li Mengzhou said: "The picture of me killing Zhu Zaitian was seen by him, even if there was only a trace of suspicion, it was worth my doing, this is indeed a gamble, but I think I can win the bet." ”
Qingyi said lightly: "You are really crazy." ”
Li Mengzhou scratched his cheek and said with a smile: "People can't live if they don't go crazy, I think it's a very common thing, and I don't think it's done by a madman, I'm just trying to save my life." If someone else thinks something like me, then I'm probably going to watch myself being played to death, and I can't put myself in this situation. ”
Because he misunderstood that Zhu Zaitian was the one who peeped at Chaosi Lane, he made a mistake or killed him.
Now that he suspects that Lu Changge is the real peeping person, it is natural to attack with swift and ruthless means and speed.
But that's a crazy thing in itself.
Zhu Zaitian is the squire of the Xuanzheng Division.
Lu Changge is a true disciple of the Buluo Mountain Gate.
Even Li Mengzhou has to use the entire Xuanzheng Division.
This is something that ordinary people can't even think of, if this is not crazy, what is?
Xuan Zhengsi himself did not deal with the Heavenly Council, and Xu Hexian had also made a move on Li Mengzhou, under the premise that Xu Hexian knew very well that Li Mengzhou and the Heavenly Council had a close relationship, would he really be used by Li Mengzhou, a young man?
The craziest move was to involve Xu Hexian.
It is equivalent to finding another trouble for yourself in something that is already very troublesome, and it may even be a big trouble that will pit yourself to death.
Qingyi found that Li Mengzhou's courage was indeed very big.
Outside the South City Gate, he dared to draw his sword to Zhuge Dan in the threshold of the Five Realms with the cultivation of the three realms, thinking about it like this, whether it was Zhu Zaitian, Lu Changge, or Xu Hexian, it was nothing.
Even if Xu Hexian was the strongest person in the Four Realms, he did not cross the threshold of the Five Realms after all.
And Zhuge Dan is because of the identity of a monk outside the mountain, although the cultivation of the Five Realms does not completely belong to himself, but he is also an invincible existence in the lower grades of the Five Realms.
Compared with the degree of adventure, it was more crazy for Li Mengzhou to dare to draw his sword from Zhuge Dan.
Qing Yi sighed lightly and said seriously: "The head of the courtyard said that no matter what you do in the capital, he will help you wipe your butt in the back, but you don't want to die yourself, and the head of the courtyard is not omnipotent." ”
Li Mengzhou was silent for a moment and said, "I suddenly realized that the head of the courtyard is so good to me, could he be my father?"
Qingyi: "......"
Li Mengzhou then shook his head again and said: "The surname of the head of the courtyard is Jiang, and my surname is Li, it seems unlikely, and he was definitely not as handsome as me when he was young." ”
Qingyi said indifferently: "You really don't have a very clear understanding of yourself, this is a problem that needs to be treated." ”
Li Mengzhou smiled: "The place I know most about myself is this face." ”
Qingyi said: "A very dark face. ”
Li Mengzhou immediately glared at him in annoyance.
Qing Yi ignored Li Mengzhou's murderous gaze, and said flatly: "If you involve Xu Hexian, you must clearly understand what the consequences will be." ”
Li Mengzhou exhaled and said calmly: "So I said that this is a gamble, if I don't do anything, and wait for Lu Changge to expose Zhu Zaitian's death, I can only passively fight back, it will be very troublesome, rather than this, it is better to take the initiative to attack, accompanied by some adventures in the middle, which is also unavoidable." ”
"Hopefully you're right. ”
"Of course I'm right, because I don't want to die, it's someone else who can die. ”
......
In front of the small courtyard in the street of the East City Gate, a group of Xuanzheng Division's armor soldiers had cold faces, and their right hands were on the hilt of the knife at their waists, led by a middle-aged man, in fact, it is not very accurate to say that he is middle-aged, at most he is in his thirties and is close to not confused.
He is thin, he also has a knife hanging from his waist, his long hair is very flowing, and after being attacked by the night rain, he can also see a very smooth feeling, he has a pair of narrow eyes, faintly revealing essence.
"Lord Munan, this is it. ”
A soldier stepped forward and said.
Mu Nan and Zhu Zaitian are the same as Wang Zhong who was killed by Xiao Zhinan outside the city, they are both the servants of the Xuanzheng Division, the difference is that although Zhu Zaitian often follows Xu Hexian's side, among the attendants of the Xuanzheng Division, the strength is only in the inferior, Wang Zhong can be ranked in the top three, and Mu Nan is the strongest person in the cultivation of those waiters under Xu Hexian.
He looked at the small courtyard in front of him, closed his eyes slightly, was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Come in." ”
A group of armor soldiers received the order, directly kicked open the courtyard door, and rushed in, sweeping all the rooms of the entire courtyard as quickly as possible.
In one of the rooms, Lu Changge sat on a stool with a dull face, looking at the soldiers who broke in, as if there was no one in front of him.
Those armorers pulled out their knives and surrounded Lu Changge, Mu Nan came from outside the house, and the armorers who followed him specially prepared handkerchiefs and handed them to Mu Nan's hands, he wiped the rain on his face and hair, threw it back to the armor, and looked at Lu Changge who was sitting on a stool with a simple knife in his hand.
He looked around and saw a rabbit face mask on the table next to him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said: "Zhu Shilang was killed by a knife, and the most fitting one is Pu Dao, it seems that the evidence is conclusive." ”
Lu Changge seemed to wake up in his sleep suddenly, looked at Mu Nan with a look of surprise, threw away the Pu knife in his hand in a panic, and stood up with a red face and a thick neck, "This knife is not mine! Zhu Shilang was not killed by me!"
He finally understood why Gu Shiyan appeared here, and he deliberately carried a Pu knife, which was the knife that Li Mengzhou used to kill Zhu Zaitian.
Under the suppression of Gu Shiyan's realm, Lu Changge's spirit was in a trance, and the sea of qi was in danger of collapsing, and when he woke up, the first thing he heard was what Mu Nan said, and the first person he saw was also Mu Nan.
He knew he was being trapped.
Obviously witnessed the picture of Li Mengzhou killing Zhu Zaitian, this should have been a good game of chess, he regretted that he didn't take action at the first time, and kept thinking about how to kill Li Mengzhou, but the other party took the lead.
Mu Nan took a step forward, patted Lu Changge's shoulder, and said with a smile: "That Pu knife is held in your hand, and it is still stained with some blood, and there are witnesses who confirm that you have appeared in Baihu Lane, and even walked out of Zhu Shilang's house." I originally admired you for being able to sit here so peacefully after killing Zhu Shilang, it turns out that you kid is stupid. ”
Lu Changge said fearfully: "Master Mu, this is all a misunderstanding, someone is framing me! The person who killed Zhu Shilang was Li Mengzhou, not me, he was framing me!"
Mu Nan raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Li Mengzhou, do you mean that the sword cultivator of the Sword Academy of the Imperial Palace, the one who crossed the border and defeated you in the fifth floor?"
Lu Changge's face was silent for a moment, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It's him! I witnessed him kill Zhu Shilang, and he was accidentally noticed by them, but fortunately, I reacted quickly enough and was not caught by them, someone brought this Pu knife over just now, Lord Mu, I was really framed, please be aware of everything!"
Lu Changge was really flustered.
After all, he is a true disciple of the Mountain Gate, even if the thing is not done by him, but once he is taken away by the people of the Xuan Zheng Division, it is undoubtedly a very shameful thing for the Mountain Gate, the most important thing is that he will lose face, if more people know about this matter, his face will really be lost.
Mu Nan continued to smile and said: "Lu Changge, you yourself said that they didn't catch you, since you haven't been caught, then how can Li Mengzhou know about you, and how can he specifically frame you? On the contrary, you were defeated by Li Mengzhou in the fifth floor, and you may hold a grudge, at this moment, framing Li Mengzhou is also a reasonable thing." ”
He didn't care about the difference between 'him' and 'them' in Lu Changge's mouth at all, he just patted Lu Changge's shoulder and said, "Although you are a true disciple who does not fall from the mountain, Zhu Shilang is a court official after all, even if he is not qualified to let you go to the death, but I am afraid you will have to stay in prison for a long time." ”
Lu Changge's eyes widened, staring at Mu Nan, and then he said with a grim face: "Lord Mu, what do you mean by this? How do I think you are deliberately shielding Li Mengzhou, could it be that he has given you any benefits? I am a true disciple who does not fall from the mountain, and he Li Mengzhou is only the inner courtyard of the palace, in terms of identity and status, I am far better than him!"
The smile on Mu Nan's face gradually disappeared, he looked at Lu Changge indifferently, and said: "I'm just talking according to the evidence, as for your suspicions, our Xuanzheng Division will also go to Li Mengzhou for verification, but this can't change the result that you want to go to Xuanzheng Division's prison with me to drink tea." ”
"You can't do this! I was wronged! It was Li Mengzhou who killed Zhu Shilang! You should arrest him!"
Mu Nan ignored the noisy Lu Changge, just patted him lightly on the shoulder again, and a wisp of breath poured into Lu Changge's sea of qi, making his whole body stiff, and his slightly open mouth could no longer make any sound, just looked at Mu Nan in horror.
And Mu Nan smiled at him, then picked up the rabbit face mask on the table, turned around, took the umbrella handed by the armor, and said with a cold face: "Take it away." ”
......
Outside the window, the rain was dripping, and the candles in the room were flickering, reflecting the two figures dancing on the wall.
Li Mengzhou buried his head in pulling the noodles, and the sound of drinking the noodle soup was endless.
Gu Shiyan, who was sitting opposite, frowned slightly, and said: "Lu Changge is indeed the person who peeped outside Chaosi Lane, although his identity is far inferior to the gentlemen who left the palace, but at least in the capital, it is higher than your status, even if he is convicted of killing the Xuanzheng Division's attendant, but there is no guarantee that he can get rid of him, if he does not fall down the mountain and intends to rescue, Xuanzheng Division will have to release him." ”
She didn't have the idea of continuing to eat noodles at the moment, and said seriously: "What do you want to do if you want to increase Lu Changge's crime? Do you want me to kill a few people, and then attribute it all to Lu Changge's head?"
Li Mengzhou drank the last mouthful of noodle soup, wiped his mouth, and said: "Lu Changge has been arrested by the Xuan Zheng Division, you are going to kill people now, isn't that purely looking for trouble, Lu Changge has no ability to escape from the prison of the Xuan Zheng Division, and then run to kill people." This is not to increase his guilt, but to clear his name. ”
Gu Shiyan frowned and said, "Then what are you going to do? Just let Lu Changge stay in prison like this?"
Li Mengzhou shook his head and said: "Xu Hexian is not so easy to deceive, and Lu Changge will also put the charge on my head in order to protect himself, although that is the truth, if you ignore it, in fact, it makes no difference whether Lu Changge goes to prison or not, but he will definitely die." ”
"At the beginning, I also thought that I wanted to blame Lu Changge's death for Yue Shiting and even Taijing, but it is unlikely that it will be implemented, it can be said that it is full of loopholes, and it will make things more troublesome. ”
"I thought that instead of adding charges to Lu Changge, it would be better to kill him directly, and there would be no proof of his death. ”
Gu Shiyan was surprised: "You want to go to the Xuanzheng Division prison to kill Lu Changge?"
It is inevitable to blame Lu Changge's death for Zhu Zaitian's death, this is to let Li Mengzhou clear his suspicion, if he kills Lu Changge directly, then Zhu Zaitian's death still has no way to solve it, but Lu Changge is in the prison of Xuan Zhengsi, and it will indeed be very difficult to kill him again.
Li Mengzhou groped his chin and said, "I revealed to Xu Hexian the evidence that Lu Changge killed Zhu Zaitian in person, even if Xu Hexian arrested Lu Changge soon, I don't think he really believed me, but he still did it." I don't know what Xu Hexian is thinking, but compared to Lu Changge, he must be more suspicious of me. ”
Gu Shiyan said with a serious expression: "Since you know this, why do you want to show up to see Xu Hexian in person?"
Li Mengzhou said: "I'm just gambling, betting that even if Xu Hexian suspects that I killed Zhu Zaitian, he will still arrest Lu Changge." ”
Gu Shiyan said with some confusion: "Could it be that Xu Hexian is an idiot?"
Li Mengzhou smiled: "Don't you always think he's an idiot, but I don't think he's an idiot, I just think that Xu Hexian needs such a murderer to appear, he definitely hopes that it will be me, but he also understands that the timing is not right, even if it is clear that Lu Changge is a pawn that I gave him, he will gladly accept it." ”
Gu Shiyan was confused, and said with some annoyance: "Can you explain the words clearly!"
Li Mengzhou scratched his head speechlessly, and said: "Well, in fact, the matter is very simple, as you said, Zhang Chong, Tang Taijing and even Yue Shiting were killed one after another, basically the Xuan Zheng Division was investigating, Xu Hexian once used Taijing as an excuse to arrest me, although it was unsuccessful, but whether it was to target the head of the Jiang Yuan, or for any other purpose, the murder of these court officials was a trouble that Xu Hexian wanted to get rid of as soon as possible. ”
"In the case that many officials in the capital were killed one after another, Xuan Zhengsi did not make any results, but in the emperor's majesty, Xu Hexian had no way to explain. ”
"When Yue Shiting's incident didn't happen, Xu Hexian was still able to continue to delay time, but he didn't have any extra time now, he had to close Yue Shiting's case, and if he could solve Zhang Chong's and Taijing's cases by the way, it would naturally be better. ”
"Although this is just my assumption, Xu Hexian may also take the opportunity to point the finger at me in order to solve the case quickly, but under the premise that he has failed, he can't act rashly without finding evidence that can completely identify me, otherwise the Heavenly Council will not sit idly by. ”
"On the contrary, the evidence of Lu Changge's appearance in Baihu Lane is conclusive, and it is definitely not just my words, not to mention that I asked you to send Pu Dao and the rabbit face mask to Lu Changge, I believe they were also seized by the people of Xuanzheng Division, compared to pointing the finger at me, the ready-made Lu Changge is obviously more suitable. ”
Gu Shiyan doesn't have a good impression of Xu Hexian itself, and some court officials are too close to solve the case for a long time, and some extreme measures are also very possible, Xu Hexian certainly has a reason to do so.
But this is the capital after all, and it is under the nose of His Majesty the Emperor, if Xu Hexian catches a murderer casually, once something goes wrong, I am afraid that the official position will not be guaranteed.
Li Mengzhou finally said: "It is precisely because all this is just my thoughts, and only he knows what Xu Hexian is thinking, so it is a gamble, but I think Yue Shiting's identity is different, and the court must get an answer as soon as possible, this is the matter of Langya Jingzhao Mansion, and it is also the matter of Xu Hexian." ”
"Although the possibility of Xu Hexian pointing the finger at me exists, and even occupies a lot of weight, I bet that he will be wrong, knowing that he is being used by me, he still has to arrest Lu Changge. ”
Gu Shiyan was silent for a moment and said, "But if you let Lu Changge die in the prison of Xuanzheng Division, wouldn't it give Xu Hexian the opportunity to point the finger at you?"
Li Mengzhou nodded and said, "This is another gamble." ”
He didn't really have a lot of faith.
Lu Changge is bound to be imprisoned by the Xuan Zheng Division, but if he wants to kill Lu Changge in the Xuan Zheng Division's prison, it is undoubtedly a difficult thing to do.
He was just a little curious, and he knew that Lu Changge would take any action after he was arrested by the people of Xuan Zhengsi.
He had a vague anticipation.
......
Do not fall off the mountain gate.
The night rain is invading the mountains.
Some of the beasts that inhabit outside the gate of the mountain are huddled in their respective caves, while some of the beasts run wildly, enjoying the cold wind and night rain.
In hot and dry weather, a sudden cool rain is not only for people, but also for animals, it is also a very beautiful thing.
But the fact that it rained a little heavily was not a good thing.
There are also disciples in the capital who do not fall into the mountain gate, and they are always paying attention to all kinds of news, and the matter of Lu Changge being captured by Mu Nan, the Xuanzheng Division, was transmitted back to the mountain gate as soon as possible.
