Chapter 68: Cross-examination

He's checking me, he's checking me all the time!

At this moment, Liu Xiaolou's mind was repeating this sentence over and over again, and it was blank in an instant, because when the other party said this sentence, it meant that Xing Dejun's escape had been linked to himself. What he would face next, he couldn't imagine at all.

But the blank space was only for a moment, and he quickly regained his composure—extremely reluctantly, pretending to think, his eyes turned upwards, but in fact he didn't want to look directly at the other person.

"Yes, I did go to Tianmenfang once, and after half a month of retreat, I ran out of dry food and had to buy some food. But it wasn't out of the country, I bought enough food and went back to retreat. ”

"Where did you buy it?"

"Hung Kee Restaurant."

"How long?"

"I asked for a table of noodles and ate it until late."

"With whom?"

"The owner of Hung Kee Restaurant, I used to know him, and then he developed, but whenever I have time, I will occasionally visit."

"Wei Hongqing?"

"Yes."

"What did you talk about?"

"It's what you see and hear after you don't ...... Well, I also told him about refining the array plate in Xia, by the way, the reason why I went to Xingde Mountain in Xia was also guided by him, he said that there is a famous Xingde Jun who is a loose cultivator on Xingde Mountain, who is good at refining the array plate, otherwise where would I know that there is such a number one person? ”

Hou Sheng suddenly stopped asking, staring at Liu Xiaolou with suspicion, Liu Xiaolou had regained his calm at this moment, and looked at each other calmly, his eyes were full of sincerity.

I don't know how long it took, Hou Sheng finally asked the question he wanted to ask the most today: "Where is Xingdejun?" ”

Liu Xiaolou's eyes widened, and he asked incomprehensibly: "Xing Dejun?" Isn't he in Xingdeshan Mountain? ”

Hou Sheng squinted his eyes and said, "Take out all the things in your arms." ”

Liu Xiaolou was puzzled: "What is Deacon Hou doing?" What did you do next? ”

Hou Sheng suddenly made a move, grabbed Liu Xiaolou's shoulder blade, and a true yuan force penetrated, Liu Xiaolou forcibly resisted the idea of counterattacking, and was drilled into by that true yuan force, his whole arm was like ten thousand ants devouring bones, and big drops of sweat on his forehead kept rolling down.

"Where is Xingdejun? If you say it, you will make meritorious contributions, and you will not be investigated for all the previous things, and you will be rewarded heavily. Think about it. ”

As he spoke, he reached out into Liu Xiaolou's arms, took out a few pieces of jerky, more than three taels of silver, and an ordinary nephrite, and saw that there was nothing, so he took off the jade jue he was wearing around his waist and turned it over and over in front of his eyes to check: "This is the array plate?" ”

Liu Xiaolou couldn't stand the pain and snorted: "After going down the mountain...... I haven't seen Xingdejun before, so I really don't know...... Where is he, and he ...... I won't say it together...... Deacon Hou, I can't do it anymore, my arm is going to be abolished...... ......"I was also afraid for a while in my heart, but fortunately, I didn't bring some things with me, otherwise I would have closed today!"

Hou Sheng glared at Liu Xiaolou for a long time, and when he saw that he still didn't spit out, he finally withdrew the true yuan and spread Liu Xiaolou, Liu Xiaolou suddenly collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

"Xingdejun made a mistake and caused a big disaster, even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, the Qingyu Sect will be chased to the bottom, you look back and think about it, if you think of something, tell me immediately - go to Dongting Hubei, there is a lotus root pond that connects the sky, there is a lotus root pavilion by the pool, leave the address under the third stone slab on the left side of the pavilion entrance, no more than three days at the latest, I will go to you."

He shook the array plate in his hand: "This array plate is to commit stolen goods, I will accept it first, when do you remember, when do you go to me, then the natural things will return to the original owner." Remember? ”

He squatted down and patted Liu Xiaolou's cheek: "You must think about it, Xing Dejun can't escape, and after he is taken, if he confesses to you, you will be dead and alive." ”

After Hou Sheng left for a long time, Liu Xiaolou relieved himself, walked out of the headline alley with his support for the wall, carefully recalled everything just now, and kept thinking about it in his heart.

What is certain is that Hou Sheng only doubted himself, and he didn't doubt it deeply, maybe he was just one of the few breakthroughs he thought of, otherwise how could he let himself go like this?

But how did he know that he had been to Hung Kee Restaurant? There were only a few people who had seen themselves in the restaurant that day and could recognize themselves, and the only ones who really knew their intentions were Lu Ergongzi and Steward Zhang, these two had become corpses in the coffin, and it was impossible to confess themselves.

It is impossible for Wei Hongqing to admit himself, so only the shopkeeper and his buddies are left, but these people don't know the truth, so just because he has been to Hongji Restaurant, he can't prove anything.

But in any case, since Hou Sheng was included in the object of suspicion, it was not a way after all, in the eyes of the famous sects, a small loose cultivator like himself was like an ant, once he was targeted by them, it didn't matter whether there was empirical evidence or not.

Thinking all the way, Liu Xiaolou went to the Wuchao River, walked along the river for two miles, he suddenly jumped into the river with a thud, and slowly moved in the water with the aquatic plants under the embankment, and waited until it was completely dark, then he found a hidden place and went ashore, and after making sure that no one was following, he quietly sneaked back to the house in the town.

Hou Sheng shouldn't have known that he had a mansion in Wuchao Town, otherwise as long as he went to the mansion and searched carefully, he would be able to find the Ziji Gate head token and "Thousand Pole Fang" left by Xing Dejun, then it wouldn't be as simple as just asking questions just now.

Entering the house, the big white goose was gnawing on a piece of bacon under the kitchen, and when he saw Liu Xiaolou coming back, he rushed over with his wings fluttering.

Liu Xiaolou held its long neck for a while, seized the time to inspect the house, and found that there were no traces of the furnishings in the room that had been searched, and the most important thing was that he was wrapped and lying in the air of the bed board, and the knotted buckle was not moved, and when he opened it, the token, the array book, the scripture book and the five spirit stones were all there, Liu Xiaolou breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't dare to hold the lamp, so he thought silently in the dark, thinking of the array plate he had spent so much effort to refine, and his heart couldn't help but bleed. For three whole months, how many places I walked, how many materials I collected, how many spirit stones I spent, and the scenes of hard work came to my heart, and the more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became.

After thinking for a long time, he put the package on his back, picked up the big white goose, and returned to Wulong Mountain overnight. Hide the package, settle the big white goose, change clothes, and immediately go down the mountain, straight to Tianmen Shanfang City.

At dawn, he rushed to Fang Market, found a secluded corner and waited, until noon when the crowd on the street gradually rose, then he pressed the hat down, squeezed in the crowd and approached the Hung Kee Restaurant.

When he arrived in front of the restaurant, he was about to sneak in, when someone behind him suddenly said in surprise: "Brother Tai, meet again!" ”

Liu Xiaolou shook his head, slowly turned around and looked, and saw the person clearly.

This person is also wearing a hat and has an obscene figure, it is Yan Sanfei who sold him the Heart Nourishing Pill last winter.
