Chapter 12: The Precept Hall interrogation
After returning to the kitchen and working for most of the hour, and having breakfast in the dining hall, Lin Ansheng left the kitchen and went to the library at the outer gate.
This month, eleven new inner disciples and deacons were added to the experience notes, Lin Ansheng stayed for an hour and a half, flipped through four books, saw that the time was almost up, and returned to the sect kitchen to prepare lunch.
When he was about to reach the door of the dining hall, he was blocked by two young men.
One of the horse-faced youths: "You are Lin Ansheng, right?" ”
Lin Ansheng nodded: "It's me, the two senior brothers have something to do with me?" ”
"I'm a disciple of the Discipline Hall, and the elder wants to ask you for questions."
The horse-faced young man took out a red wooden plaque, which was the warrant of the deacon of the Hall of Discipline.
The Discipline Hall is equivalent to the private public hall of the sect, and it is absolutely not a good thing to be called by the Discipline Hall.
Lin Ansheng suddenly became vigilant: "For what?" ”
"You'll know when you go." The horse-faced young man did not smile, and looked like he was doing business.
Lin Ansheng looked at another young man wearing a collared robe: "This senior brother is also a disciple of the Discipline Hall?" ”
"It's none of your business, let's go." The horse-faced young man stretched out his hand and made a urging gesture.
Lin Ansheng thought for a while and said, "Please wait a moment, I have to go and take a leave of absence with the chief manager first." ”
"There's no need for this, let's go now, and if you don't bother with it, don't blame me for being rude."
The young man in the collared robe, who had not made a sound, opened his mouth to make an ultimatum, and stared at Lin Ansheng with warning eyes, as if the latter would make a move if he hesitated at all.
The horse-faced young man frowned and glanced at him, as if he was a little dissatisfied with his attitude, but he didn't say anything, and urged Lin Ansheng again: "Let's go." ”
There was a warrant from the deacon of the Discipline Hall, so Lin Ansheng couldn't help but go, seeing that the patience of the two was almost at the limit, he didn't talk anymore, and nodded silently.
After a stick of incense, Lin Ansheng came to the precept hall, and the majestic main hall was filled with a heavy and oppressive atmosphere.
There were three bodies lying on the ground, covered in white cloth.
On the left stood the person from the Discipline Hall, led by an elder wearing a dark Taoist robe, with an unsmiling face, giving people a sense of solemnity.
In addition, Gu Changning, Shi Yurou, and Qin Qianqian's sisters and brothers were also there, all of them had solemn faces, and there was a sense of indignation in the solemnity.
On the opposite right stood a dozen men and women, all with heavy expressions and awe-inspiring expressions.
Behind them, a young man reclined in a chair, and from his haggard countenance it was not difficult to tell that he was sick, not lightly ill, or rather wounded, not lightly.
This young man was one of the Masson gang who had raised the price with Gu Changning at the auction yesterday.
There were also three people standing farther away, as if they were just watching from the sidelines, but the black and gray official uniforms on their bodies and the single knife they wore on their waists showed their identities as fast catchers.
The local yamen can't control the cultivation sect, and these three people must be from the thirteen divisions who specialize in monitoring the cultivation world of Mozambique.
On the way here, Lin Ansheng thought about it, and the Discipline Hall passed him on to ask him nothing more than three possibilities, first, about the Lin family, second, about the small pot of dishes, and third, about last night's matter.
Seeing the current scene, Lin Ansheng instantly made a judgment, and it was indeed the third most probable.
The young man with a haggard face and a serious injury seemed to be one of Ma Sen's group, that is, a disciple of Xuanzong, the dozen or so men and women, nine times out of ten, were all Xuanzong people, and there were just three corpses on the ground, could it be the three coachmen, it was just a pretense from the four doors, and they were actually Xuanzong's people.
He killed three disciples of Xuanzong, and was found by the people of Xuanzong overnight, and the bones were spliced together.
In just a moment, Lin Ansheng's mind was full of associations, and he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and his heart palpitated.
If this is the case, this "lawsuit" will be very tricky, the cause must be that both sides insist on their own words, but the result is that a few of them are alive and well, and Xuanzong has three deaths...
Subconsciously, he looked at Gu Changning and the others.
Gu Changning took the initiative to avoid his gaze, Qin Feng glared at him angrily, Shi Yurou and Qin Qianqian also looked at him, and on the current occasion, he naturally couldn't speak, but they all shook their heads slightly, obviously hinting at something.
If Gu Changning avoided his gaze, Qin Feng glared at him angrily, and Shi Yurou shook his head, Lin Ansheng could guess a few points.
Gu Changning left the four of them last night and fled for his life, feeling ashamed.
Qin Feng didn't see him after waking up last night, and after listening to Shi Yurou's explanation, it was easy to see him abandon them and get out of danger by himself, in a sense, it was the same nature as Gu Changning.
Shi Yurou was hinting at him, and she didn't say anything about what he kept secret.
Only Qin Qianqian's shaking of the head represents something, and she can't figure it out at all.
However, the different reactions of the four people, especially Shi Yurou's expression, although she was dignified, did not feel apprehensive and anxious, but Lin Ansheng breathed a sigh of relief, it should be that he thought wrong...
"Elder Ji, Lin Ansheng brought it." The horse-faced young man replied to the elder led by him, and then stood on the side of the people in the Discipline Hall.
The young man who handed over the long shirt owed a debt to the middle-aged men led by more than a dozen men and women on the opposite side, nodded his head, and then joined in.
From this, Lin Ansheng also guessed his identity, a disciple of Xuanzong.
"Lin Ansheng." Elder Ji glanced at Lin Ansheng a few times and called out his name.
"The disciple is here." Lin Ansheng hurriedly looked over and bowed in a proper manner.
Elder Ji paused for a moment before he said, "I called you here because I have some things to verify with you, don't be nervous, just have something to say." ”
"Disciple understands."
"Did you go down the mountain to Wuyi with these senior brothers and sisters yesterday?"
"I went to Wuyi yesterday, but not with Senior Brother Gu and them, but with Senior Brother Xu Le early in the morning."
"What are you going to do?"
"The inner gate election is coming soon, and Senior Brother Xu Le wants to refine a strong pill."
"So, you weren't with these senior brothers and sisters yesterday?"
"No, we met in the alchemy pharmacy, Senior Brother Gu and they were going to the auction house, and Senior Brother Xu Le and I went with them..."
Elder Ji asked, Lin Ansheng replied, and recounted the experience of yesterday's whole day.
Gu Changning and the four of them must have been interrogated, because he didn't hide anything, and what was the truth was the truth.
Of course, this truth is superficial, seeing through the fact that the refining pharmacy is shoddy, and the shopkeeper Liu recovers the defective products at the price of one loss of three, this is a hidden secret that only he knows, and he will definitely not confide in.
As for being in distress on the way back to the sect in the carriage, Lin Ansheng was the weakest in the martial arts realm among the several people, and it was natural that he was the first to be stunned, and he didn't know anything about what happened later.
