Chapter 42: Wang Lingxuan's guilt
Wang Wenhao was silent for a moment.
However, Wang Lingxuan said anxiously: "That person was wearing a hat yesterday, and I hurriedly glanced through the black veil, so I was a little impressed." ”
"When my guard questioned me just now, I was watching from the outside, and I felt that his eyes were very similar to the hat man yesterday, so I thought it was him."
After all, she is only a fourteen-year-old girl with almost no social experience, and when she saw Xu Anping under her father's questioning, she always firmly said that she didn't go out last night, and she suddenly believed eight points in her heart.
This made her feel a little guilty.
almost killed an innocent life because of his momentary misunderstanding.
"In other words, just by feeling, you treat my junior brother as a hat fighter, and directly order a siege?"
Luo Tianle said with an ugly face.
Xu Anping's face was also gloomy, but he didn't say anything.
Wang Wenhao, who was on the side, sighed secretly in his heart, feeling helpless about his daughter's simplicity.
But now that he has said this, it is no longer good for him to pretend that Xu Anping is a hat-fighter.
He could only soften his tone and said:
"In addition to these, we also investigated other clues and knew some information about the Hatsman, and these are all consistent with Xu Anping, so we think he is the Hatman."
"For example, the people of the hat should have come to Danfeng City in two or three days, most likely for the first time, and they will be ready to leave soon."
"Also, the people of the hat are relatively young, and their cultivation is in the late stage of the Cultivation Realm, and they live in this area......"
Luo Tianle couldn't help but interrupt him:
"Wait! Patriarch Wang, you said that the cultivation of the Doujia people is the late stage of the cultivation realm? ”
"That's right."
"How so?"
"The hat-bearer focused on asking about the price of the bone forging technique in the black market, but he didn't buy it at first, but after robbing my daughter's money, he turned back and bought it for thirty taels of silver, which shows that he should not have enough money before."
"But in such a shy situation, he is still in a hurry to buy the Bone Forging Exercise, which shows that he has reached the time when he urgently needs this exercise."
"Obviously, his cultivation is in the late stage of the Cultivation Realm, and he is eager to break through the Bone Forging Realm with new exercises."
Hearing Wang Wenhao's seemingly reasonable speculation, Luo Tianle shook his head and said:
"My junior brother is only fifteen years old this year, and he only broke through to the cultivation realm three months ago, and was successfully promoted from a miscellaneous servant to a formal disciple, does the royal patriarch think that my junior brother is so amazing and brilliant, in these three months, he can break through to the late stage of the cultivation realm?"
"Even if he really had such an amazing talent, why would he risk taking the money to go to the black market to buy the Bone Forging Technique? Although my Xuanyue Sect is not a top-level sect, the bone forging exercises in the door, as far as I know, should not be the next one. ”
Wang Wenhao was stunned for a moment, and then fell silent.
In fact, he never really thought that the hat man was Xu Anping, and when he heard Luo Tianle's words, although he was not sure whether it was true or false, he felt that Xu Anping was not suspicious in his heart.
"Since it's just a misunderstanding, then this matter is over, little brother, please don't take what happened just now to heart."
As he spoke, he took out a delicately shaped purse from his arms, took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from it, handed it over, and said with a serious face:
"This is a little bit of my care, and it can be regarded as making up for the fright that my little brother has just received."
Xu Anping hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and took the silver ticket in the other party's hand, and said, "It's a misunderstanding, but I didn't take it to heart." ”
Of course he didn't take it to heart.
After all, he really did what happened last night.
Seeing that the other party no longer pursued it, but gave him a hundred taels of silver in compensation, he felt a little guilty in his heart.
Robbery is not right.
It is even more undesirable to abandon an unconscious young girl in an uninhabited alley in the middle of the night.
Xu Anping secretly blamed himself in his heart, but he did not hesitate to move his hand, and stuffed the money into his arms.
At this time, Wang Lingxuan said apologetically:
"Your name is Xu Anping, right, my name is Wang Lingxuan, I misunderstood you just now, and I almost hurt you, I'm really sorry, in the future, you will be my friend, if you are in trouble, you can come to my house and ask me for help, I will definitely help."
Wang Wenhao patted her on the shoulder and said:
"The hatsman hasn't been found yet, we have to continue to investigate, two little brothers, let's not bother for now, farewell!"
The two quickly left the room.
Along the way, Wang Lingxuan was still guilty and blamed herself: "Xu Anping has only reached the cultivation realm for three months, there is no need to rush to grab money to buy bone forging exercises, not to mention that he is a disciple of the sect, as long as he reaches the late stage of the cultivation realm, he will naturally be able to learn the exercises of the sect, and there is no need to go to the black market to buy them." ”
"So, this time it's really a misunderstanding."
"It's good to stop the precipice, if you kill him on the spur of the moment, it will be a sin."
……
Listening to the footsteps outside the door gradually moving away, Luo Tianle put what had just happened behind him, patted Xu Anping's shoulder, and said casually:
"It's not early, do you want to go out with us for a walk?"
"Okay, let's go shopping."
Xu Anping nodded.
Not long after, the two set off together, just when Zhong Lei, who had been entangled for a long time, returned to the small courtyard, and left the inn together and walked around Danfeng City for a long time.
Regarding the matter of the Wang family, Zhong Lei and the others felt quite guilty in their hearts, but they hid aside when their fellow disciples were in danger, so they could only be regarded as ignorant and were ashamed to mention it.
Luo Tianle knew that the wall had ears, and Danfeng City was not a place to talk.
As a result, the matter of the Wang family was so downplayed, as if everyone didn't take it to heart.
On the other side, the Wang family naturally did not find the so-called hats.
Wang Wenhao was originally going to arrest a random person, claiming that someone had robbed the money of the heirs of the Wang family, and executed him as a target for killing chickens and monkeys, so as to deter others.
But it was opposed by Wang Lingxuan.
The shame and hatred in Wang Lingxuan's heart, after finding out that she had misunderstood Xu Anping and almost killed the other party, was diluted a lot by the apology, and seeing that she couldn't find the real culprit, she naturally didn't want to implicate anyone else.
As a result, the money robbery had to be downplayed and the investigation ended in confusion from the outside world.
……
Following.
The convoy was loaded with goods and slowly left Danfeng City under the escort of Xu Anping and the four of them.
Halfway through.
Luo Tianle said suddenly:
"Deacon Wan, we met several groups of bandits when we came, and on this return trip, I propose to take a new route, I don't know what you think?"
Deacon Wan hesitated:
"If you want to change the route, you need to plan ahead, and you can't change it casually."
"Our total journey took exactly two days, so the two-day itinerary should be as balanced as possible."
"If the first day is too short, the rest of the second day will be long, and you won't be able to get back to Los Angeles before sunset."
"The first day is too long, and you won't be able to get to a town on the first day, so you have to sleep in the wilderness, which is too dangerous."
Luo Tianle insisted: "I suspect that our route information has been leaked, and if we don't change our route, it will only be more dangerous." ”
Hearing this, Deacon Wan was shocked in his heart, and almost thought that what he had done was exposed.
