Chapter 4: Catching the Thief
The bride looked around in horror, and she could smell the fishy smell that went straight to her head, but she couldn't believe it was from her for a while. Seeing the reaction of the guests, Master Li immediately felt greatly embarrassed, turned around suddenly, pointed at the panicked Yuan Rong with one hand, and trembled for a long time without saying a word!
Among the guests, many of them were born dependent on Master Li and were accustomed to slapping horses. Seeing this, four or five people immediately stood up and said loudly with righteous indignation, "For such a grand wedding banquet, there must be thieves who have mixed in, and while everyone is unprepared, they have placed a spell on the bride, so it will be like this!"
As soon as this person spoke, it immediately caused a chorus of echoes.
"That's right, that's it!"
"It must be so!"
"Yes, yes, Miss Yuanrong is a person with a strange fragrance, how can it stink!"
Hearing them say this, Master Li breathed a sigh of relief, put away the displeasure on his face, and said with a face full of grief, "Alas, it seems that Li is still not virtuous enough, which has caused some people to complain." It's just that I'm a dignified seven-foot man, and if I have any grudges, even if I come at me, if I don't say a word, I'm not a man! It's just that the new lady is innocent, alas, ......."
A long sigh contained too many indescribable meanings. Since someone mentioned the spell, the leaders of the Immortal Cultivation Sect couldn't help but say a word. The first to stand up was the head of the three elders of the Imperial Feather Sect, the Thousand-Eyed Elder Ji An.
The Royal Feather faction advocates birds and beasts, and people also look weird. Fang Du was curious, stretching his neck on tiptoe and trying to see the other party's appearance clearly. Through the layers of heads, he saw that the thousand-eyed elder Ji An was thin, one face was more than half longer than that of ordinary people, his chin and forehead were more than half, and the remaining eyebrows, nose, eyes, and mouth were crowded together, like a big rooster with a long chin.
As soon as Ji An spoke, Fang Duan's feeling became even stronger. Ji An's voice was sharp, like a big rooster in the village that got up early in the morning and crowed. "It seems to me that this spell has fallen so delicately that even I have not seen the clue for a moment," said him, "as far as I can see. Senior Brother Cidu, don't you say?"
The one who is called Cidu is a monk who is kind and kind. He is the presiding master of the Golden Dragon Temple, with high morality and respectful status. Although he repeatedly pushed back tonight, he still sat on the main seat of Master Li. At this moment, Cidu lowered his head, pinched the Buddha beads and recited "Amitabha", and said to Ji An, "Senior brother is humble, and I can't tell whether this is a spell or a witchcraft." ”
Hearing the two immortals say this, the guests became even more flustered. Ji An couldn't see them the most like the sky falling, and said to Master Li with a cold snort, "There are many idlers, and they can't help much, so it's better to let them disperse!"
Master Li raised his hand and said to the two bridesmaids, "Help the fourth lady go back first, remember, boil more hot water, and put some fragrant dew and flowers." The thought of sleeping with a stinky woman in his arms, even if he looked like a fairy, made Master Li nauseous.
"Everyone," Master Li turned around and hugged his fist at the guests with a guilty face, "Forgive Li for his inconsiderate hospitality, I will definitely come to your house another day to apologize, and I will ask you to go back tonight." The frightened guests had long wanted to find an opportunity to slip away, and when he said this, they left the banquet in a hurry, eager to tell their friends and relatives what they had seen and heard tonight.
Just as the guests were leaving in an orderly manner, Fang Duan saw a familiar back, yes, it was the thief he met in the warehouse, Mo Xuanji. His heart moved slightly, could it be that the bride of Li Mansion, who was beautiful and moon-like, was killed by Mo Xuanji?
As soon as this thought popped up, Fang Duan suddenly panicked. First, he stepped on a woman's newly embroidered shoes, and then hit a man's shoulder. Even the subordinates here are all wearing silk and satin, and the coarse cloth clothes on Fang Dui's body are particularly eye-catching.
"There are thieves, there are bad people!" the female guest shouted, and the guests who were hurrying home looked back at Fang Dusk. Fang Du was stunned, and after a moment of distraction, he came back to his senses and opened his mouth to defend himself, "No, no, no, I'm not a bad person, I was sent by Sleepless Night to deliver wine to Old Master Li's mansion!"
He has a dark face, and at first glance he looks like a person who has been used to being a coolie after many years of wind and sun. In addition, the bride who once showed him the way had not gone far, and she also stood up to help him testify, "Back to the master, what this person said is indeed the truth." He carried the wine jar into the house through the back door, and he got lost after walking a short distance, and it was the slave maid who pointed him in the direction of the big kitchen, so he looked for it. ”
"Is that really the case?" When Master Li didn't laugh, he had a kind of majesty, and he couldn't raise his head when he pressed it, so he could only say resignedly, "Yes, yes, the little one is coming to Yixi City for the first time today, and the sleepless boss kindly took him in and asked me to do some rough work." ”
"Well, I don't see that you are not like that treacherous person, the back door is over there, go!" Master Li didn't want to talk too much with someone like Fang Duan, and was about to send him away, when someone suddenly shouted in the northwest corner, "Caught, caught the thief who killed Madame!"
Master Li suddenly perked up, and said to Cidu and Ji An, "Please come with me to have a look!" Fang Du watched four or five family members come over with a wry smile on his face, and his heart couldn't help but sink into the ice cave, and said secretly, "Why is it him?"
"Yo, isn't this the eldest son of the Mo family? I remember, you are not on the guest list for tonight's banquet, what, where did the Mo prince come in? Could it be that he sneaked in like the gentleman on the beam?"
The words were said by Master Li, and the crowd suddenly burst into laughter. It is said that the Mo family is a family with a head and a face in Yixi City, and it is really a shame to not want the son of the family to do such an untalented thing. Mo Xuanji threw off the two people behind him nonchalantly, sat down on the steps and said, "Master Li's concubine, how can I not come to congratulate Yihe? I didn't expect that the Li Mansion is so hospitable, I will definitely go back and have a good talk with my father!"
The last sentence obviously carried a threat, how could Master Li be the one who was easily bluffed by him, and said with a sneer at the moment, "Although Mo Gongzi goes to say it, don't take into account Li's face." I haven't thanked Lingzun for sending a congratulatory gift today, so it's better to go back with Master Mo!"
"No, no need!" Mo Xuanji was obviously a little flustered, he stood up and laughed dryly twice, and his heart was weak for a while, "It's not early, Master Li's newlywed, I can't bother, farewell, farewell!"
Mo Xuanji wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, but Master Li didn't order anyone to chase after him, but just said faintly, "You're here for that heirloom compass, right?"
