Chapter 34: Evidence of Guilt

Shangguan Xiu didn't need any accuracy in Zhou Qian's confession, as long as the officials involved in the confession were big enough and there were enough officials involved, it would be enough.

In his heart, even if all the officials of the Inner History Mansion were pulled out from top to bottom and beheaded, there would be no more than ten people who were unjustly killed.

The two confessions were added together for more than 30 pages, Shangguan Xiu flipped through them page by page, and finally nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Zhou Qian to sign and sign under each page of the confession. When he had it done, he rolled up the confessions and put them in his arms.

Zhou Qian's face turned pale, and he asked in a trembling voice, "I...... I've written everything I know, and you're ...... now Can you let me go......"

Shangguan Xiu smiled, looked at Zhou Qian with deep eyes, and said, "It's time to send you on your way!"

Zhou Qian looked at Shangguan Xiu in horror and said, "You...... As you just said, as long as I do what you say, you ...... You won't be embarrassed for me......"

"It's not hard for you to be tormented, but I didn't promise to let you go. Shangguan Xiu said indifferently.

Zhou Qian had already seen the appearance of all of them, how could Shangguan Xiu let him go?

"You...... You can't be untrustworthy, you can't ...... Can't it......" Zhou Qian was so frightened that he rubbed back on the ground again and again.

Shangguan Xiu didn't pay any attention to Zhou Qian, and said in a deep voice: "Kill him!"

Without waiting for others to speak, Luo Ren preemptively said, "I'll come!"

As he spoke, he rushed behind Zhou Qian, and before the latter could react to what was going on, Luo Ren's arm was stretched forward, strangling Zhou Qian's neck, and then, his arm was strangled back hard, and there was a click, and Zhou Qian's neck bone was strangled by his arm.

Zhou Qian's body trembled violently on the ground a few times, and soon there was no movement, and white saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Shangguan Xiu bent down, lifted Zhou Qian's body, threw it into the water tank, and said, "Dig a pit in the courtyard and bury it along with the water tank." ”

Cao Lei said yes and walked out.

Shangguan Xiu turned his head and asked Yuan Mudao, "Is the carriage handled properly?"

"Yes, Brother Xiu, I lost it in Xicheng, and it is estimated that it has already been picked up by someone now. ”

"Hmm!" Shangguan Xiu nodded.

Luo Ren asked, "Isn't it time for us to prepare for the Capture the Flag Tournament next, we still lack one now." ”

Shangguan Xiu asked, "Is there a suitable candidate?"

Luo Ren thought for a while, looked at Ding Leng and Yuan Mu, and asked, "How is Jia Banxian?"

Ding Leng shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything, Yuan Mu smiled and said, "I think it's okay!" Although Jia Banxian's cultivation is not high, and she is a god, she has a deep understanding of Lingwu and knows the skills of each attribute very well. ”

Shangguan Xiu asked curiously, "Who is Jia Banxian?"

Luo Ren smiled: "He is also a strange person in the Imperial Spirit Martial Academy. Her natal name is Jia Caixuan, when she first entered the academy, her cultivation was the spiritual realm, she stayed in the academy for three years, and now she is a senior student, but her cultivation is still the spiritual realm, this is not the point, the point is, she said that she can be psychic. ”

"Psychic?" Shangguan Xiu raised his eyebrows.

She said that she could see everyone's past and present lives, and could predict the future. ”

"There are still such strange people?" Shangguan Xiu was skeptical.

"It's her own words, and the devil knows if it's true or not. Luo Ren said disapprehantly: "She also said that I was a monkey in my previous life!"

Ding Leng and Yuan Mu burst out laughing.

Shangguan Xiu couldn't help but smile and asked, "Is she willing to team up with us?"

Yuan Mu shook his head and said, "I don't know, if Phantom Tian goes with me, it will be more certain." ”

"Why?" Ding Leng raised his eyebrows and asked puzzled.

Yuan Mu said: "Jia Banxian once said that in the academy, the person she admires the most is you. ”

"Oh?!" It was rare to hear Jia Caixuan praise himself like this, Ding Leng's old face turned red, and the expression on his face was also very strange.

Yuan Mu continued: "She said, although the qualifications of the Illusory Heaven are not good, and the Lingwu is naturally dull, but relying on the wisdom of Heaven to reward diligence and diligence to make up for the clumsiness, the wisdom of the famous saying has broken through the cultivation to the Lingtian Realm, she said that the success of the Illusory Heaven can bring a revelation to many students with deviations in qualifications, the level of the cultivator's cultivation does not depend entirely on the cultivator's own qualifications, even if the qualifications are poor, as long as they are willing to study and practice hard, they can still make extraordinary achievements, she also said......"

Seeing that the smile on Ding Leng's face was getting stiffer and more ugly, Yuan Mu swallowed a large string of words back into his stomach, laughed dryly, and said, "I just relayed Jia Banxian's original words. ”

"Do you think she's praising me?" If Jia Caixuan were standing in front of him now, he would probably not hesitate to put his hands on her small neck.

Sounds like a very interesting person! Shangguan Xiu's mind turned around, and said with a smile: "Lao Ding, you accompany Ah Mu to invite her." ”

Ding Leng had no opinion, he nodded, and said quietly: "Okay, Brother Xiu, I'll go to her with Amu tomorrow, if she dares to say half a word in front of me, I, a naturally dull person, will let her know that people are born stupid, but there are also people who are beaten into stupid by the day after tomorrow!"

His words once again made Shangguan Xiu and the others laugh.

Luo Ren suddenly remembered something, stretched out his arms, took out a few ingots of silver from it, handed them to Shangguan Xiu, and said, "Brother Xiu, return the silver to you." "This silver was used when he and Cao Lei went to Chunxiang Building to act.

Shangguan Xiu waved his hand and said, "You don't have to give it to me, you put it on your body in case you need it." ”

"But it's too much. ”

"It's just the beginning, and I'm sure we'll earn even more money in the future. Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.

"By the way, Brother Xiu, we plan to move in with you, and it will be much easier to do things in the future. ”

Shangguan Xiu thought about it, felt that it was also the same reason, and said: "It just so happens that I am renting a house next door, so I will rent it there tomorrow." ”

"Okay, Brother Xiu. ”

The next day, it coincided with the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In the evening, Qian came to the library to find Shangguanxiu to see the lanterns. Gu Qingling didn't come, not because he didn't want to, but because he was called to his uncle's house for dinner.

It happened to be nothing to do tonight, Shangguan Xiu and Qian Jin went to Heshan Street in Nancheng.

The streets of Shanhe Street are spacious, paved with stone bricks, and there are many shops on both sides, it is very prosperous and lively, and tonight there are special lanterns here, which are big and exquisite, and the colorful colored paper is woven into a variety of different shapes of lanterns, and the candles are lit inside, reflecting the colorful brilliance.

There are many people who come to Heshan Street to enjoy the lanterns, and as far as the eye can see, there are crowds of people, including ordinary people dressed in ordinary clothes, and there are also dignitaries and dignitaries who are gorgeously dressed and surrounded by a group of domestic servants.

Qian Jin's face was full of interest, he looked around, and said while watching: "It's a loss, Qingling went to her uncle's house for dinner, and didn't come with us to enjoy the lanterns, it's a real loss." ”

Shangguan Xiu smiled: "Maybe she is sitting at her uncle's house now admiring the lanterns." ”

Qian Jin nodded and said, "That's right, that's right, the Gu family is so rich, what kind of lanterns haven't you seen?!"

Shangguan Xiu really didn't know much about Gu Qingling's background, so he asked curiously, "Is the Gu family rich?"

Hearing his question, Qian Jin glanced at him strangely and asked, "Brother Xiu, don't you know that Qingling's father is Gu Chunyuan?"

Shangguan Xiu blinked in confusion, as if asking, who is Gu Chunyuan?

Seeing his uncertain expression, Qian Jin sighed helplessly and said, "Brother Xiu, Gu Chunyuan is the number one businessman in Anjun!"

If you want to say that the most powerful businessman in the Wind Country, it is none other than the people of Angun, and if you can become a leading businessman in Angun, it is really a great person.

Qian Jin showed admiration and continued: "The Gu family's Yuanfeng cloth village has opened all over the country, almost monopolizing the cloth village industry, and even the nobles are blushing!"

Of course, Shangguan Xiu knew about Yuanfeng Cloth Village, Yuanfeng Cloth Village had stores for wealthy families, and also stores for ordinary people, and the clothes Shangguan Xiu was wearing now were from Yuanfeng Cloth Village. But he really didn't know that the famous Yuanfeng Buzhuang turned out to be Gu Qingling's family's industry, and he didn't expect Gu Qingling to have such an extraordinary family background.

He said with a shocked face: "It turns out that Qingling is the daughter of the Gu family. ”

Qian Jin asked curiously in a low voice, "Brother Xiu, you are so close to Qingling, how can you not even know her family background?"

The surprise on Shangguan Xiu's face flashed, and he said with a light smile: "I am making friends with her, not with her family background, besides, the family background is someone else's, she is willing to say, of course I am willing to listen, if she doesn't want to mention it, I won't ask." ”

When Qian Jin heard this, he shook his head again and again disapprovingly, and said: "This is not good, so careless, how can you catch up with the Gu family's daughter in the future?"

Shangguan Xiu only smiled and didn't say anything more.

As he was walking forward, Qian Jin pointed to the front and shouted: "There's juggling! Brother Xiu, there's juggling in front!" As he spoke, he urged: "Brother Xiu, go and go, let's go and see juggling!"

He quickened his pace and squeezed through the crowd in front of him.

Shangguan Xiu lacked interest, put his hands behind his back, and walked forward unhurriedly.

As he was walking, he saw that there were Linglong balls selling in the grocery stall on the side, Shangguan Xiu turned around and walked over.

Linglong balls, also known as ghost balls, are made of jade, and some are made of bone or ivory.

Its shape is polished into a ball, the surface is carved out of a hundred holes, and the interior is hollowed out, leaving only a solid ball inside.

There are one-layer, two-layer, three-layer, and even nine-layer Linglong balls.

Shangguan Xiu came to the grocery stall, stood still, looked at the dazzling array of delicate balls placed on it, and picked one up casually.

It is a delicate bone ball, although it is only one layer, but the carving is quite delicate, nine lifelike snakes, connected to each other end to end, and the small ball inside is also carved with snake patterns.

The vendor at the grocery stall smiled: "Guest officer, this exquisite ball only costs twenty yuan." ”

Shangguan Xiu put down the delicate ball in his hand, and he turned his eyes to look at a delicate ball placed in the center of the stall.

This jade delicate ball has several layers, the big ball is covered with a small ball, and there are small balls inside the small ball, which are stacked on top of each other, and it is exquisite.

Shangguan Xiu's eyes lit up, and he was about to reach out to where to go, but on the other side of the stall, a white and slender hand first stretched out and picked up the delicate ball.

He subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw two young men standing on his left, one in green clothes and the other in white.

The young man in Tsing Yi looked like he was twenty-five or sixteen years old, with thick eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a white face and no beard, and a handsome appearance, but he lacked a little masculinity and a little more feminine.

Look at the young man in white, at best, he is ten ** years old, his skin is delicate and fair, like mutton fat, his facial features are exquisite, and he is handsome, especially the pair of beautiful eyes, black and white, big and powerful, with cascading eye waves, and the heroic spirit of the compelling man appears and disappears from time to time.

Seeing him, Shangguan Xiu's heart was shocked, and he was subconsciously surprised: "Your ......"

He didn't say the word 'down' at the end, and immediately swallowed it back into his stomach.

The young man in front of him is indeed somewhat similar to Tang Yu, but the temperament of the two is completely different, Tang Yu is gentle and elegant, while this young man is heroic, and in him, there is an aggressive sharpness.
