Chapter 66: Murder Without Staying

Qi Xuansu returned to the southeast square of Haosheng unhurriedly, and brought a small gift to Zhang Yuelu - Dijing's sugar gourd, a string of wishful money.

Zhang Yuelu couldn't help but be funny when she received this gift, did she treat her as a child?

However, she did not refuse, but still accepted the idea, and then asked, "Is everything in order?" ”

Qi Xuansu said: "Foolproof." ”

Zhang Yuelu didn't say anything more, the two had a fight in this regard, I have to say that Qi Xuansu is a veteran in this regard, if he hadn't taken the initiative to confess later, Zhang Yuelu might not have been able to know the whole truth.

As for whether this matter is right or not, Zhang Yuelu doesn't want to comment.

In terms of rules, it is definitely not right. Judging from the most simple concept of good and evil, there seems to be nothing wrong with it, and the saints have said that they repay virtue with virtue and repay grievances with straightforwardness.

She really wants to be strict about right and wrong regardless of what is at stake, and now she is a bare-pole deputy hall master, not to mention anything to compete for the position of the great master in the future, even the position of the deputy hall master may not be able to sit firmly, and most of them will become the kind of nominal person.

In a position, there is a world of difference between real power and power, and Qi Xuansu has a deep understanding of this.

The next morning, the waves were calm.

Zhang Yuelu went out again, she was always busy. Li Changge went to the palace, it seemed that he was summoned by the emperor, and others could not envy him for such an honor.

Yao Pei was still left behind.

After all, Yao Pei's main responsibility is to find out Qi Xuansu's case, and now that the case has been clarified, she has nothing to do.

Qi Xuansu went to Yao Pei to drink tea and chat, just like in Vientiane Dao Palace.

The biggest difference between Yao Pei and Zhang Yuelu is that she doesn't have too much moral burden, after all, there is no good or evil, and she conspires with Qi Xuansu to do something bad, and she will not hesitate at all, and even many times she is the mastermind, and Qi Xuansu is just an accomplice at best.

Qi Xuansu asked, "When I went out yesterday, you also left the inn. I heard Qingxiao say that you only came back half an hour earlier than me. What did you do? ”

Yao Pei asked rhetorically, "What did you do last night?" ”

Qi Xuansu said calmly: "Revenge is gone." ”

Yao Pei immediately understood, and narrowed his eyes: "Since you are so frank, I might as well make it clear that I went to see someone last night." ”

"Who?" Qi Xuansu asked.

"Qi Niang." Yao Pei said lightly.

Qi Xuansu was surprised: "Qi Niang came to the imperial capital? ”

"What's so strange about this, she is a pseudo-immortal, she flies faster than a flying boat, naturally she can come when she wants, and it is no problem to come and go back on the same day." Yao Pei said disappreciatively.

Qi Xuansu keenly grasped the information revealed in Yao Pei's words: "Where are you going?" Since it is the same day, it means that it is not far from the imperial capital, and it is Zhongzhou? Or Luzhou? Could it be Qizhou? ”

Yao Pei refused to answer.

Qi Xuansu asked again: "Since Qi Niang has come to the imperial capital, why don't you see me?" ”

Yao Pei said: "Qi Niang is very disappointed in you, saying that your son is too old to help her mother, and also said that you have been a little separated from her recently, and you are suspicious of her, she is really blind and raised a white-eyed wolf." The ancients said that if you have a daughter-in-law and forget your mother, it is true, and Zhang Yuelu is to blame. ”

The expression on Qi Xuansu's face froze, this is Qi Niang's tone, Yao Pei can't say such a thing.

Qi Xuansu didn't expect that Qi Niang could see through his various thoughts at a glance.

Yao Pei said again: "Tianyuan, you have to understand one thing, which side of the person are you." To put it mildly, you are a member of our Yao family, not a member of the Zhang family, and you can't forget your roots. To put it more bluntly, you are a disciple of the True Truth, not a disciple of the Righteous One. Don't forget who promoted you and lifted you. Without the Truth Path, would you be where you are today? Without Qi Niang, would Zhang Qingxiao know who you are? ”

Heart-wrenching words.

Qi Xuansu was unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't refute it, so he couldn't help sighing.

Yao Pei said: "You take the initiative to find me, if you think there is something to do, you might as well say it directly." ”

Qi Xuansu sorted out his mood, and then said: "Since it is revenge, it is natural to kill someone." Since the murder is necessary, it is necessary to deal with the aftermath, and I need a witness to prove that I am not present. ”

There is no need to say too thoroughly, Yao Pei naturally understood, and said, "You want to say, we have been together last night." ”

"That's what it means." Qi Xuansu nodded.

Yao Pei asked, "Aren't you afraid that Zhang Qingxiao will be angry?" ”

"Qingxiao knows it's fake." Qi Xuansu replied truthfully.

Yao Pei said noncommittally: "This damages my reputation." ”

"You don't agree?" Qi Xuansu asked tentatively.

Yao Pei shook his head: "You have to add money." ”

Qi Xuansu coughed dryly: "I only have eight hundred Taiping money left." ”

"I don't lack peace money or worry-free money, I just need you to owe me a favor." Yao Pei looked at Qi Xuansu, "I may need your help one day, or maybe it won't be that day." ”

Qi Xuansu sighed: "The free ones are the most expensive. Today's favor may only be worth 800 Taiping money, and in the future, Qi Xuansu's favor may be more than 80,000 Taiping money. ”

"Do you agree, then?" Yao Pei is not urgent, and the initiative is in her hands.

Qi Xuansu said helplessly: "I agree." ”

"Okay." Yao Pei stroked his palms and said, "People can't stand without trust, I believe in your credibility, if there is really that day, you will not let me down." And until that day comes, I'll show my sincerity and I'll take care of the rest. ”

Qi Xuansu was relieved.

Yao Pei and Zhang Yuelu are both very reliable women, and the weight is enough, which can completely clear his suspicions.

In the afternoon, someone came to the door.

It was the people of the 7,000th household of Qingluanwei and the Daolu Division, and one night, plus one morning, was enough for them to discover Yanxiu's death and check it out. In fact, not long after Qi Xuansu left Wutong Garden, Wutong Yuan found Yanxiu who had turned into mud and notified Wen Weng, the owner of the courtyard, as soon as possible.

After several deliberations, Wen Weng decided to let Qingluanwei deal with it, and in the name of the King of Liao, he directly invited a commander to come forward in person.

Qingluanwei 7,000 households are experts in handling cases, and after inspecting the scene, they began to investigate the suspects through the interpersonal relationships of the deceased.

There is no doubt that Qi Xuansu is listed as the number one suspect. Because Qi Xuansu and Yanxiu had a holiday, from the relict mountain city to the imperial capital city, there were deep grievances.

However, Qi Xuansu's identity is special, so Qingluanwei invited Daolu Division to come forward.

After listening to the narration of the officials of the Daolu Division, Qi Xuansu said: "Monk Yanxiu is dead, and it is reasonable for you to suspect me. If I insist on confrontation, I will deepen your suspicions about me. It's just that I can't trust you people from the court, and there is no rule for people from the court to check the people of the Daomen. In this case, I propose a compromise and let the team of five investigate the case. ”

Qingluan Wei is the commander of Tongzhi Yunluo.

She is the only woman among the three hall officials of Qingluanwei, just from the appearance, she looks like she is about thirty years old, and her actual age is not known.

Over the years, she has been in charge of the Nanzhen Fusi, living in a simple house, rarely showing up, in the eyes of outsiders, it is the Tongzhi who holds the seal of the Beizhen Fusi who is more prestigious, but within Qingluanwei, it is this Yun Tongzhi who is even more terrifying. According to reason, Nanzhen Fusi is only responsible for internal cases, but this case is not a Qin case, but there is no need to forcibly divide the north and the south.

Yun Luo said: "Zhang Gaogong should have an overview of the overall situation, and it is not appropriate to be tired. This case does not involve the Quanzhen Dao, and it is not appropriate for Master Yao to handle it. ”

Qi Xuansu said: "I mean to let Li Dai Deputy Hall Master deal with it, he is from Beichen Hall, which is reasonable." It doesn't have anything to do with me, and it won't cover me up, so it makes sense. I wonder what Lord Yun thinks? ”

Yun Luo couldn't help but be stunned, secretly wondering if he had guessed wrong, this case really had nothing to do with Qi Xuansu?

It's just that Yunluo has a close relationship with Qingwei Zhenren, she just wanted Li Changge to deal with the case, even if she was suspicious in her heart, she would not deny Qi Xuansu's proposal, so she nodded and agreed.

Qi Xuansu didn't say anything more: "Then ask Deputy Hall Master Li to come back." ”

It didn't take long for Li Changge to come back, he already knew roughly what had happened, and without nonsense, he motioned for Yun Luo to hand over the file.

Yun Luo's attitude towards Li Changge was not respectful, but he was very polite, and immediately asked people to present the file.

Li Changge invited everyone to speak in the temporary meeting hall of the five-person group, and after everyone was seated, Zhang Yuelu also came back and was invited to attend.

Li Changge sat alone in the main seat, with Zhang Yuelu, Yao Pei, and Han Yongshuang on the left hand, and Daolu Shilangzhong, Yunluo, and Lu on the right. Qi Xuansu and Li Changge sat across from everyone.

In addition, there are a number of attachΓ©s, who sit on the periphery, take notes, or simply observe.

Li Changge didn't care much about this case, he didn't regard Qi Xuansu as a thorn in the flesh, so he just did business, and after reading the file, he asked: "Director Qi, when Monk Yanxiu was killed last night, you were not in the inn, but went to Nancheng, what did you do in Nancheng?" ”

Qi Xuansu coughed lightly: "Hang out." ”

"Just hanging out?" Li Changge continued to ask, "Are there any witnesses?" ”

Qi Xuansu's gaze wandered, and he seemed to be a little weak-hearted.

Yun Luo said: "That is, there are no witnesses?" Things don't happen so coincidentally, do they? Master Qi had an old grudge with Zen Master Yanxiu, and Zen Master Yanxiu died, and as a result, Master Qi just left for a while. ”

Qi Xuansu lowered his head and pretended to be entangled and struggling, but he used too much force and was slightly exaggerated.

After a while, Yao Pei spoke: "There are witnesses." ”

Everyone's eyes were on Yao Pei.

Yao Pei said expressionlessly: "After the case of Chief Qi is over, I want to visit the Imperial Capital City when I have nothing to do, so I asked Chief Qi to be my guide, after all, we are classmates in the palace, and we didn't just know each other today, so I was with Master Qi last night, and I can testify to him." ”

When the words fell, everyone looked at the two of them together, and then peeked at Zhang Yuelu tacitly.

Zhang Yuelu's face was expressionless, and she couldn't see her joy or anger.

Is this the drama of two daughters competing for husbands?

How can Qi Xuansu be virtuous? He is not a big master, he wants to be the wife of the big master.

It's almost the same if it's Li Changge.
