In a short period of time, Zhong Lirui summed up three reasons to teach the Master Qingli a lesson, and said that the other party was red-faced and speechless, so he could only flick his sleeves fiercely and sighed: "Hey, it's up to you." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"That's for the best. "Zhong Lirui took advantage of this to establish his authority, because the work of pulling out traitors is difficult to carry out without prestige, he wants everyone to know that although he is an outsider, he has more power than you here, and he is more powerful, and he is the object that must be obeyed.

The man on the back of the iron looked at Zhongli with admiration and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"As far as I know, the water sources in the mountains, especially the wells, should be guarded by regular personnel. ”

"That's natural, there are two shifts a day, two people in each class, and a newly admitted official disciple and a Taoist boy are in charge of guarding. ”

"When it was discovered that the well water was poisonous, who was on duty. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent, and no one answered, but all eyes silently converged on a very young disciple who stood very far behind.

Zhong Lirui's eyes were like torches, staring at him and asking, "Is it you?"

"Yes, yes, yes...... It's me. The man was so frightened that he was covered in sweat and stumbled.

"Come here. Zhong Lirui stretched out his hand to greet him.

The other party was frightened, his forehead was covered with sweat, his whole body was soaked, and he walked up step by step, stumbling and saying: "Really, really, and hehe, and me, me, me, no It really has nothing to do with me. ”

Zhong Lirui saw that he was the same age as Shen Fei, his face was immature, he didn't know anything about the world, all his thoughts were on his face, not like he was lying, and asked: "Isn't there two people in each class, and there is also a Taoist boy who is in charge of guarding, where is he?" ”

"When I found out that the water was poisonous, I was afraid that the poisoner would know that the matter would be exposed, so I ran to ventilate and report the news, and immediately tied up the Taoist boy who was responsible for taking care of the water well that day, a total of two people, one was the Taoist who was in charge of the water source at night, and the other was the Taoist who was on duty at the time. ”

"Bring them all. Zhong Li Rui frowned, as an ordinary person in charge of the life of the immortals, it stands to reason that it is unlikely that he will commit a crime, but after the iron-backed master tied them up, there was indeed no one to report to the Demon Sect anymore, could it be that the murderer was in the middle of these two?

I was wondering in my heart, two little Taoist boys had been escorted up, both of them were men, thin, dressed in wide Taoism, timid, looking at themselves with fearful eyes.

Zhong Lirui frowned, untying him, everyone was puzzled, the two Taoist children were panicked, their eyes widened and they looked at the stranger in front of them, but they heard the other party say: "Someone poisoned the well water, do you know." ”

The two Dao boys nodded.

"Is it your poison?"

"No, it's really not me, wronged. Both Dao Tong were frightened and argued loudly, "It's really not me, it's really not me." ”

Zhong Lirui paid attention to every expression on their faces, and asked again, "Who of you two was on duty when you found out that the well water was poisoned?" ”

"It's me. The Dao boy on the left raised his hand weakly, "But I really didn't poison it, please believe me." ”

"What's your name. ”

"Green Boy. ”

"You say you didn't poison yourself, but someone can testify. ”

The green boy lowered his eyebrows and silently glanced at the immortal who had fallen to the ground and was already frightened, Zhong Lirui understood, "You two were together at that time?"

"Yes. ”

"Did you leave in between?"

"We solved the problem nearby, and we didn't know that the well water was poisonous until someone came to arrest us. ”

"Yes, yes yes, yes, please spare me, I really don't know anything. "Immortals are also afraid of death, and the performance of this immortal brother is really unsatisfactory, not even as good as this weak little Taoist boy, but the same caliber and fearful eyes of the two of them really moved Zhong Lirui and made him temporarily weaken his suspicion of the two.

"Again, I ask, have neither of you ever left the well. ”

"Not really. ”

"Has anyone been there?"

"Well...... Nor did it. ”

"Tell me more about the situation at that time, you say it first. Zhong Lirui pointed at Dao Tong, because he really didn't want to listen to that stammer, it was too much of a waste of time. Such a person was also taken up the mountain, completely dishonoring the dignity of the immortals.

The little boy sank, sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "The hour when I and the fairy brother were on duty was from Mao to Shen, and when it was close to the hour, the Taoist boy had come to fetch water, and at noon was the time to eat, and we used the food sent from the canteen, and there was no discomfort; until the shift was changed, suddenly a large group of people surrounded us, saying that someone had poisoned the water and killed a Taoist boy who was cooking, so I was arrested, and the fairy brother was ......." When Dao Tong said this, he was obviously a little dissatisfied, after all, the same class could be poisoned, and he was tied up by five flowers, and the immortal brother had nothing to do, which was too unfair. Between the lines, he is clearly organized, like a master who is unwilling to be subordinate, but he is helpless to be a Taoist child, full of unwillingness.

Zhong Lirui still liked him a little at the beginning, and listening to his tone, he knew that he had a deep backlog of resentment for a long time, and even if he had the ability, he couldn't use it.

Turning his eyes to look at the fairy brother: "Is that so?"

"No, no, no, no, wrong, right, it's just yes, yes, he, That's right, that's what he said. "Listening to the fairy brother can really tire people to death.

"So to speak. Zhong Lirui groaned, "During the time you took over, the kitchen came to fetch water, cooked twice, and when you cooked at noon, there was no major incident, but at night, the cook was poisoned, and then you were immediately arrested." ”

"That's right. Dao Tong replied.

Zhongli looked at the man on the back of the iron, "Will the water that came up from the well in the morning be put together with the original water in the tank?"

The man on the back of the iron had never entered the kitchen, and naturally did not know about it, so he called out the steward in charge, and he answered.

"Tell the little master, it will be separated. In order to ensure the cleanliness of the water source, two water tanks are placed in the whole kitchen, one of which is placed with old water, and the other is placed with new water. ”

"Only two jars of water, what do you usually drink?"

"Tell the little master, all the immortals in Longhu Mountain drink the meltwater of the snow mountain, which is absolutely clean. Our group of Taoist children who are in charge of the living of the immortals actually live in the village next to the dwelling of the immortals, and our village has its own water source. ”

"I see. "It's a small place, it's a strict hierarchy, and even the water you drink is different, no wonder Xiaodao Tong is full of complaints. Zhong Lirui thought to himself, in this way, there are more people who can access the water source, and the suspicion is too big, is it because he has neglected something?

Then he turned to another Taoist boy who was tied up, that is, the person who was on duty in the previous shift, "What is your name and who is on duty with?" ”

"I ...... I'm Mu Tong, I'm ...... I'm with ......" Daotong turned his eyes to look at the crowd, obviously unable to name the person.

The man on the iron back said: "He is on duty with Li Xin, but Li Xin is dead." ”

"Dead?" Zhong Lirui remembered the three corpses lying in the back hall.

"Those who died in battle, their throats were cut by the sword of the demon cultists, and their blood vessels burst and they died in pain. ”

"Trouble carrying the body to the temple. ”

"The person is already dead, why ......" The words behind the man on the iron back were stopped by the tiger of Shushan, and Yun Lie said: "Brother Ironback, just do what he says." ”

"That's good. Yun Lie's reputation was far and wide, and what he said was really good, and the man on the iron back turned his head and instructed Dao Tong: "Draw a few people and carry the corpse over." ”

At this moment, everyone was in danger, afraid that the disaster would have something to do with them, so they took the bodies of the three dead with trepidation, lifted the white cloth, and the disgusting flies crawled around on the exposed wounds.

The elderly deceased must have been an elder on the mountain, looking at his age, his left hand was gone, there was a blood hole in his chest, the fairy sword and the severed hand were next to the corpse, and the palm of the hand was cut off first, and then a sword pierced through the heart, killing him on the spot.

The corpse next to him looked very young, with multiple wounds on his body, each of which was not too deep, the most fatal was the sword wound on his throat, which cut the aorta and the blood spurted out contaminated the upper body of the corpse, making it look bloody and blurry. It should be the one who is in charge of the duty as the man on the iron back said.

Next to him, he was also a young man, but he died very simply, directly cut off by a fairy sword, a huge force, although the intestines flowed all over the ground, but when he died, it was an instant, and there was not much pain.

The battle between immortals and demons has been gone for a long time, and the younger generation has never seen such a miserable scene at all, and they can't stand it with disgust, Mo Junru glanced at the corpse, ran outside again, and vomited endlessly.

Zhong Lirui looked at the corpse from a distance, but he already understood everything: "I think, I already know who the Demon Sect should be. ”

"Just looking at the corpse can deduce the identity of the mole?" everyone was incredulous, and they all felt that Zhong Lirui was bluffing.

But seeing that he explained unhurriedly: "Among the three people, the dead elder should have encountered the siege of many people, and one of them had his palm cut off, and the other person pierced his throat, and died a heroic martyr. The little Taoist priest next to him must have met a strong man with infinite strength, and his strength was very different, and he was cut off by a sword, and he died unjustly. As for the person in the middle, that is, what Uncle Ironback said, the little brother who was in charge of the water source in the last class, his age seems to be about the same age as the deceased around him, and his strength must be almost the same, and the injuries on his body, I counted, there are at least twelve places, except for the one on the neck, each of which is not fatal. It is not difficult to see from the injuries left on the bodies of the other two deceased that the Demon Sect made a move, accurately, quickly and ruthlessly, after killing one person, he immediately pounced on the next person, which was extremely efficient, why would he waste so much effort on a young immortal who was not strong.

It seems to me that they are taking revenge. I think the people of the Demon Sect must have thought that it was this young man, that is, their internal response, who defected to the battle, and designed a trick with the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain to lure the king into the urn and lure them into the net. With this judgment, they naturally became furious, and tortured the man for a long time, even using the extremely painful method of puncturing the aorta and causing him to bleed to death, to punish him for his betrayal. ”

Zhong Lirui's analysis was reasonable, and everyone sighed, not only surprised by the judgment of the main peak envoy, but also secretly sighed: It turned out that the traitor was dead, and he died under the sword of his own people.

But Zhong Lirui's words were only half-said: "However, according to my judgment, he is not the only traitor. ”

"He's not the only one?" As the analysis deepened, everyone became more and more convinced of him, and everyone became endangered.

The man on the iron back was a little displeased, after all, it was not a glorious thing to have a traitor in the mountain, according to Zhongli, there was more than one, this face was really embarrassing.

The bull's eye swept over the crowd and threatened confidently: "There is also a traitor, who is it, won't it also be a dead person?"

"I'm not sure who the mole is. Zhong Li looked at the two little dao boys in front of him with deep snees, "Uncle Ironback, please also send someone to search the residences of these two people to see if you can find anything." ”

"Well, I'll listen to you. ”

The man on the back of the iron immediately ordered people to do it, but Zhongli still felt uneasy, and said again: "Shen Fei, you follow." ”

"Don't worry. During this period of contact, Shen Fei became more and more convinced of Zhong Lirui, listened to his words very much, and immediately followed the immortals of Longhu Mountain to find the residence of the two Taoist children.

Zhongli knew that Shen Fei had a flexible mind and was eclectic, and he would definitely be able to find useful clues if he was sent there, so he was very relieved. The black eyes swept over the bodies of the two Dao boys, and said in a playful tone, "Who is it......"

After about an hour, the men and horses who had gone to search turned back.

Shen Fei took the lead, handed over the two empty soft sacs to Zhong Lirui's hands, and announced loudly: "These two soft sacs were found from under Mu Tong's pillow, and they should be spare, used to hold poison. ”

Seeing such a result, everyone began to talk about it.

"Mu Tong and the dead Li Xin are in the same class, and it is normal to be accomplices. ”

"Poison is used in a soft sac, and it will take time for the soft sac to melt, no wonder it takes so long for the poison to erupt. ”

"It's so hanging, it's good that a Taoist boy died because of the taste, otherwise we would all be more than lucky. ”

"Yes, yes, the people of the Demon Sect are insidious and vicious, we need to be careful in the future. ”

"Especially for these mortals who live in the mountains, you must be more careful, they are most susceptible to being seduced by the evil magic of the Demon Cult. ”

"Hurry up and put him to death, it's disgusting to look at. ”

"Wouldn't it be cheap to be executed, if you want me to say, lock his soul with a soul chasing nail, so that he will never be able to live beyond his life before he can relieve his anger. ”

"yes, yes, that's a good idea. ”

All this, Mu Tong trembled with fright, his face turned pale, and he couldn't speak, just intermittently begged for help: "It's not me, it's really not me, please believe me, please believe me, I don't want to die, I really don't want to die." ”

His voice was very small, only Zhong Lirui could hear it, and only he listened carefully, looked at Mu Tong's eyes, put the two soft sacs in front of his eyes and shook them: "The evidence is right in front of you, do you still want to deny it?"

Mu Tong pleaded, although he was very weak, but he was still defending: "It's really not me, Master Immortal, it's really not me, I don't know there is such a thing at all, I've never seen it, please believe me, it's really not me." ”

"Huh. Zhong Lirui's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he stretched out his arms to signal everyone to be quiet, "Uncle Ironback, please send someone to the water tank and the well to see if you can find anything." ”

The man on the back of the iron was puzzled: "The truth is right in front of you, why do you need to do more." ”

"The truth needs to be supported by sufficient evidence, and the soft bag under his pillow does not mean that it is really his, it may also be that someone deliberately planted it, what I want is evidence, it is conclusive evidence. Only in this way can we really dig out the traitors lurking around us and cut off the connection between the traitors and the Demon Sect. ”

"This ......" was once again blinded by Yun Lie, and the man on the back of the iron had no choice but to do so, "I didn't hear Zhongli's nephew's words, why don't you go quickly, divide me into two groups, one group will go to the cafeteria, and one group will go to the well." ”

Zhong Lirui grabbed Shen Fei's arm and said, "Just a group of people, go to the well first, and then go to the cafeteria." Shen Fei, you follow. ”

The latter nodded and said, "I know what you're looking for, wait for my news." ”

The team set off, Shen Fei followed them and left, leading the way back, only going once, he could master the mountain road as if he was in charge, and his wisdom was unmatched.

When he came back this time, he didn't announce anything to the outside world, but he approached Zhongli's ear and bit the root of his ear to report. Zhong Lirui listened to what he said, strengthened the idea in his heart, and pointed to Mu Tong: "Uncle Shi, set up a wooden stake, tie Mu Tong to it, fix it in the sunniest place and expose it, no water is allowed, no food is allowed, I want to kill chickens and monkeys, so that no one on the mountain dares to betray." ”

"Okay, leave it to me. ”

"It's not me, it's really not me, the immortal lord, it's really not me, please let me go, please let me go. Mu Tong wailed for help, but unfortunately no one would respond to him, because traitors must be tortured by the most vicious means, otherwise the same thing will happen all the time.

Mu Tong was tied up by several people and carried out, Zhongli turned to ask the Iron Backed Master, "Where is his family?"

"It's in the village on the hill, next to the dwelling place of the immortals. ”

"Who else is in the house. ”

"This ......" The man on the iron back looked at the steward beside him, who understood, and continued, "Their grandmother is still alive, and his mother and father are dead at the hands of the Demon Cult. ”

"Send his grandmother down the mountain, and tell her that Mu Tong died under the raid of the Demon Cult. ”

"I see, don't worry. ”

...... (To be continued.) )
