7. A bunch of nonsense
Hearing Tu Laodao's response, Lin Yue understood that Tu Laodao already knew that he was acting.
After all, apart from him and Xia Lie, Tu Lao Dao was the only one who knew that Su Ziqiu would inevitably die on that day.
But 'Su Ziqiu' is still alive today.
Tu Laodao had already asked him about this matter, but he didn't want to involve Tu Laodao, and he didn't want to expose his hole cards, so he didn't answer.
Therefore, after learning of Xia Lie's disappearance yesterday, Tu Laodao suspected that he had done it.
But Lin Yue knew......
It is impossible for Tu Laodao to harm him.
"Charlie?"
When Lin Yue heard this name, he immediately took the opportunity to play and stared at Dao Chang Tu tremblingly: "Do you want to say that I'm not as good as that madman?" It's just that he hurt me like this, do you still think he did the right thing? Even if Ziqiu really has some scheming, why do you make a decision for me? β
"I'm doing it for your own good."
Tu Daochang's face also turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "I said a long time ago, you can be an ordinary man with peace of mind, and a peaceful life is better than anything else, and such a scheming woman will only harm you." β
Lin Yue didn't say a word, his eyes stared at Dao Chang Tu.
After a while, he suddenly said hatefully: "I know, did you instruct Xia Lie to kill Su Ziqiu?" I'll just say how could Xia Lie make a move on Ziqiu inexplicably, it must be you! β
"What?"
Daoist Tu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Yue with an ugly face, and only after a while did he take a deep breath and said coldly: "Yes, I made it happen, what do you want?" β
Baili Fengzhi raised his eyebrows slightly.
She naturally saw at a glance that this Tu Lao Dao was just angry words.
"It's you."
Lin Yue sneered mockingly, slowly closed his eyes, and muttered, "I hurt Ziqiu......"
Immediately, he suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Tu Lao Dao coldly, and said indifferently: "From now on, you and I have nothing to do with it, and those wines that I gave you ...... It's like I feed the dogs. β
"Vertical looking for death!"
Tu Daochang was furious, suddenly got up, pinched his fingers, and suddenly thunder crossed his eyes, and a terrifying aura spread, and a muffled thunder exploded out of thin air in this prison.
Baili Fengzhi didn't make a move, just hugged his arms and watched expressionlessly, without the slightest hint of worry.
At the same time, the circle of dark golden thin lines wrapped around the surface of Tu Dao's long body suddenly lit up at this moment, and it shrank a small circle in an instant.
"Hmm......"
I only heard Tu Dao snort in a sullen voice, and the terrifying aura emitted disappeared without a trace, and the whole person fell to the chair.
The thunder stopped.
Lin Yue's face turned pale, and he took a step back with palpitations.
Then he raised his hand and pointed at Tu Daochang with some trembling: "Good, good, good!" You want to kill me? You couldn't even afford to buy alcohol at the beginning, or did I buy it for you, and now you want to kill me? β
"Do you think Lao Dao really cares about your bad wine?"
Tu Daochang's expression was indifferent, "If it weren't for the fact that you were as lonely and helpless as Lao Dao's life experience, and Lao Dao was moved to love talent again, how would he care about you?" What's more, Lao Dao passed on a set of Xuanmen breathing methods to you in return, and he no longer owes you. β
For a moment, the atmosphere seemed to drop to freezing.
"Love talent?"
Lin Yue sneered: "You are really hypocritical, isn't it because you were driven down the mountain by the sect and vowed not to use spells again, and you have no money on you, so you can't buy wine?" Now what do you say about the heart of loving talents, I am an ordinary man, I don't even have the qualifications to practice, what do you love? β
He glanced at Dao Chang Tu coldly, then turned to Baili Fengzhi and said, "My lord, it seems that there is nothing more to say." β
Baili Fengzhi's Danfeng eyes under the silver mask narrowed slightly, looked at the two of them back and forth, and then said: "Since you are finished, you can go out first and wait for me in the side room." β
"Yes."
After Lin Yue bowed, he didn't look at Dao Chang Tu, and after the cold iron gate of this prison was opened, he left directly.
With a bang, the cell door closed again.
In the prison, only Baili Fengzhi and Tu Daochang were left, and they suddenly fell completely silent.
Baili Fengzhi didn't speak, just looked at Dao Chang Tu quietly.
And Tu Daochang sat silently at the table, looking at the empty cold teacup on the table without saying a word, with a little gloomy expression and a trace of loneliness in his eyes.
At this moment, he seemed to be a few years older, a little more twilight.
As if he wasn't some Taoist master.
Just an ordinary old man who is lonely and helpless.
And he muttered to himself in his heart: 'You should really let that kid study hard, the old way is called the old drama bone, you are crazy and staring, except for a beautiful face, what do you do'......
"Dao Chang Tu."
In the cold cell, Baili Fengzhi finally spoke: "Just now that Lin Yue said, you were driven down the mountain by the sect and vowed not to use spells?" Is that why you're tied up? β
This kid really wants to use this reason to help me clear my suspicion...... Tu Daochang naturally understood this in his heart.
He was silent for a long time before he sighed: "The old Tao is just a Shenxiao outcast, how can he use the method of the Shenxiao Sect again......"
"Why did you come to this Qingdu?" Baili Fengzhi asked.
Daoist Tu shook his head slowly, and sighed: "I just want to stay away from the sect and away from the strife......"
Baili Fengzhi looked at him and said, "Just now, you pinched the Five Thunder Correct Method, did you really move the murderous intent?" Or do you want to scare him? β
Tu Daochang smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "Naturally, it is to scare that kid, although the old Taoist is no longer a person in the Daomen, but this state of mind is still there, but I didn't expect what he said to be so chilling......
"Sounds reasonable."
Baili Fengzhi bowed his head slightly, looked at Tu Daochang with a little playfulness and suspicion, and said softly: "But why do I think you are acting?" β
"Acting?" Dao Chang Tu looked at her and said with a wry smile: "The Grand Commander thinks so, anyway, there is no difference." β
He knew that although the commander of the 150,000 army guarding the border pass was still young, his vision was still not to be underestimated, and it was not so easy to fool the past.
However, fortunately, he also prepared a powerful enough lie with the words of Lin Yue.
"I can't hide this reason."
Baili Fengzhi squinted at his narrow phoenix eyes and said softly: "Fang Cai Lin Yue said, because you can't use spells, you can't even buy wine, he bought you wine, this is the reason why you are good friends with him?" Doesn't that sound too much like a novel? β
I know that I can't hide it, this kid is still too young...... Tu Daochang muttered to himself.
On the surface, he shook his head and sighed: "It's just that the naΓ―ve kid thinks so, the real reason, the old Taoist has already said." β
"The real reason?"
Baili Feng recalled for a moment and said: "Because his life experience is as lonely as you, you have a heart of love again?" β
"If it's really just a few jugs of wine, how can Lao Dao treat him like a mantle?" Tu Daochang smiled bitterly, "But I didn't expect that after all, I was dizzy and looked at the wrong person......"
"Love talent?"
Baili Fengzhi frowned slightly and looked at him, and said: "He is just a lay disciple of a Taoist Academy, and he also said that he has no cultivation qualifications, do you regard him as the heir of the mantle?" Besides, he doesn't know anything, and his innate Qi is no longer pure at such an age, what kind of love is this? β
"It's just a test."
Tu Daochang sighed, "However, it's really meaningless, he is not qualified to be my heir with such a heart." β
"Test?" Baili Fengzhi said coldly: "Just based on your words, do you think Ben will believe it?" β
What you're waiting for is that you don't believe it...... Daoist Tu was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "My lord, I can tell you a secret about Lin Yue, but there is one condition I hope you can agree to." β
Baili Fengzhi glanced at him and said lightly: "You talk about the conditions first." β
Dao Tu said slowly: "The conditions are very simple, don't let Lin Yue know about this, and don't think about letting him practice." β
"What?"
β¦β¦
With a bang, the cell door opened, and Baili Fengzhi, who was dressed in a battle robe as red as fire, walked out of the cell.
There was still a trace of shock in the Dan Feng's eyes under her silver mask, and then it turned into a suspicious color.
"Your Excellency."
Vice General Chu stood outside the cell door, saw Baili Fengzhi coming out, and immediately closed the cell door again.
"What about Lin Yue?" Baili Fengzhi asked.
"It's in the side room." Vice General Chu immediately said.
Baili Fengzhi bowed his head slightly and said, "Go see him." β
In a few moments, the two of them came to the door of a side room for the jailers to rest, and two armored guards were guarding the door.
In the room, Lin Yue was the only one sitting behind a table at this time, silently in a daze.
"Lin Yue."
Baili Fengzhi's slightly cold voice sounded.
"Your Excellency." Lin Yue stood up, took a step back, and bowed.
Baili Fengzhi glanced at him, sat down behind the table opposite him, and said, "You don't need to stand up, you sit down and stretch out your hand." β
What do you mean? Lin Yue was slightly stunned, but he still sat down and stretched out his left hand.
Baili Fengzhi didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand and put his slender and slender fingertips on his wrist.
Her fingers did not feel as cold as the fingertips of other women, but were a little hot, as if there was a flame flowing in her body.
The next moment, Lin Yue felt a wisp of dark energy carrying a fiery aura gushing out of her fingertips and burrowing into his body.
As if probing for something, he slowly circled around his body.
What is this looking for?
Lin Yue didn't understand it a little, what did Tu Laodao say to Baili Fengzhi in private?
Soon, Baili Fengzhi had already withdrawn his hand and said softly: "Sure enough." β
"What do you mean, sir?" Lin Yue asked.
Baili Fengzhi glanced at him and didn't say anything, just waved his sleeve robe and brushed the palm that Lin Yue put on the table.
In an instant, her fingertips brushed Lin Yue's palm as if flirting, and it was closed in an instant.
Lin Yue felt a trace of pain in his palm, looked down, and saw a slight wound in his palm, in which it could be seen that blood beads were slowly pouring out.
"That's it."
Baili Fengzhi didn't mean to explain at all, but said, "Let's talk about business now." β
"I wonder what the adults want to talk about?" Lin Yue looked at her with some confusion.
"You should know the reason why I came here." Baili Fengzhi said lightly.
"Naturally, it's to find Xia Lie." Lin Yue said slowly.
Baili Fengzhi said indifferently: "Although Tu Lao Dao doesn't admit it, but in the entire Qingdu, only he has such ability, Xia Lie has done something to you, and he attaches great importance to you, and I can only doubt him, so no matter what, he can't escape it." β
She looked at Lin Yue and asked, "With what you know about him, do you think he did it?" β
Lin Yue pondered for a moment and said, "My lord, I want to ask you a question. β
Baili Fengzhi glanced at him and said, "Say." β
"If Xia Lie's disappearance is really because of Tu Lao Dao, but Tu Lao Dao doesn't hand over Xia Lie, what will happen to him?" Lin Yue asked.
Baili Fengzhi frowned slightly, but still said: "Naturally, it is certain to die." β
Lin Yue nodded slightly, suddenly remembered something, and said: "My lord, in fact, this old Tao's cultivation is very high, just because he is unwilling to do it easily because of his oath, if he is dying and struggling, is it possible to escape?" β
"It's impossible."
Baili Fengzhi said indifferently: "What do you want to say?" β
Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and said with his head bowed: "Since the adults have said so, then the grass people will be relieved." β
After speaking, he suddenly stood up and bowed his hand: "My lord, your suspicion is indeed right, Xia Lie's disappearance is definitely the work of this old way, and please let me know and quickly deal with this old way." β
"Huh?"
Baili Fengzhi's eyebrows frowned slightly, Dan Feng's eyes looked at Lin Yue, and asked, "Why are you so sure?" β
"Sir, think about it."
Lin Yue immediately said: "Why did Xia Lie just kill Su Ziqiu when he saw me and Su Ziqiu for the first time?" I have no grievances with Xia Lie, why did he do this? β
He said: "After listening to what the old Taoist said, combined with various clues from the past, the grass people already know it in their hearts and can conclude that it is ...... This matter must have been instructed by the old way. β
Baili Fengzhi didn't speak, just frowned and looked at him.
Lin Yue continued:
"My lord, don't you know, Humble Jing was worried that the grass people would be entangled by that old way, and they would have to support the drunken man in the future, so he talked to the grass people in private.
"But I didn't know that the old Tao was a hermit master, and I was listened to by him, and the old Tao was naturally disgusted, and he also persuaded me to separate from her.
"Tu Laodao's obsession is to be a reclusive ordinary man, who just wants to live a peaceful life and enjoy my filial piety, but if he kills Humble Jing with a spell, even if it is quiet, I will suspect him.
"But if it's by someone else, I don't doubt it, like ...... By the hand of Nacharel.
"Then Xia Lie came to the Taoist Academy to seek health regimen, and Tu Lao Dao also knows a few sets of clever health regimens, Xia Lie has only been here for a few days, and suddenly wants to kill Clumsy Jing for no reason, do you say this is too coincidental?
"This is obviously the old way of killing people with a knife.
"Use the health regimen to induce Xia Lie to kill people, and then get rid of Xia Lie and his guards afterwards, and naturally clean up, and still be able to maintain a peaceful life."
Lin Yue shook his head and sighed: "Moreover, that old Taoist is an outcast of the Dao Sect, I am afraid that he is already guilty, and his murder with a knife, once it is known, it must be a big trouble." β
He concluded: "Therefore, that old Dao will inevitably kill Xia Lie and the guards to extinguish the mouth, this is the motive. β
Vice General Chu listened silently on the side.
At first, he thought it made sense, but the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong.
He remembered that the Lord Commander had told him about the secret of Xia Lieβ
[Once Xia Lie dies, it will inevitably be known to the world]
If there is no such premise, Lin Yue's inference still has some credibility.
But now Xia Lie is obviously not dead.
So, isn't this Lin Yue's reasoning blind?
This Lin Yue obviously didn't know such secrets, and after analyzing it like this, he also analyzed the most likely motive of Tu Lao Dao at present.
How did the inference of conviction become proof of innocence?
Baili Fengzhi's eyes under the silver mask were also a little inexplicable.
She couldn't help but ask, "Do you have empirical evidence for such analysis and speculation?" β
"Evidence?"
Lin Yue was slightly stunned and said, "Don't you think it's very reasonable, my lord?" And only that old way has this ability in Qingdu, so many suspicions, it is almost certain that the old way kills people and kills people. β
He saw that Baili Fengzhi seemed to frown, and immediately said, "If you need evidence, you can also think of a way." β
"Figured out? What can you do? Baili Fengzhi frowned and looked at him.
"The grass people can be used as witnesses for adults, and identify that old Tao as the murderer of Xia Lie."
Lin Yue said earnestly: "If there are not enough witnesses, you can also produce some more evidence." β
Baili Fengzhi said coldly: "You mean, let Ben commit perjury?" β
"My lord, that old man is definitely the murderer of the mouth, but he is too cunning, resulting in insufficient evidence."
Lin Yue lowered his voice: "The grass people know that Xia Lie must have a big background, and you should also want to give an explanation to the above, right?" As long as you can punish the culprit, get things done, and give the adults an account, the means can be flexible, right? β
Baili Fengzhi was silent for a while, and asked, "Didn't you have a good relationship with that old Taoist in the past?" β
Lin Yue said in a deep voice: "That old Taoist was going to kill the grass people just now, and he almost killed the clumsy Jing, even if he is a Taoist master?" How could the grass people be with them again? β
As he spoke, he bowed again: "Please also ask your Excellency to be clear, everything the grass people say is from the bottom of their hearts." β
Baili Fengzhi was silent for a moment again before he said lightly: "You can go." β
"My lord, did you agree?" Lin Yue couldn't help but ask.
"I'll let you go!" Baili Fengzhi's face turned cold.
ββ¦β¦ Be. β
Lin Yue seemed to be frightened, and immediately turned to leave.
But there was a faint smile in his eyes.
The footsteps faded away.
Inside, there was silence.
Baili Fengzhi sat silently behind the table and didn't say a word.
"Your Excellency." Vice General Chu couldn't help but speak: "What Lin Yue just said ......"
Baili Feng was speechless for a long time before he snorted coldly:
"Nonsense!"
