Chapter 988: Retrial Tomorrow
After Ouyang Zhen trotted out of the hall, Qin Xiaotian's heart calmed down a lot, and Liu Erhu smiled faintly, "Sect Master, my senior brother Ouyang doesn't listen to anyone, just listen to you." β
Qin Xiaotian turned his face sideways and smiled slightly, obviously, he felt that Liu Erhu's words were simply nonsense, "I am his master, of course he has to listen to meΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·!"
Then, he laughed roughly, the laughter lingered in the hall, very clearly, Qin Xiaotian's dull mood just now was finally released. In this way, Liu Erhu also felt that the atmosphere was much more harmonious.
With the question in his heart, he said, "Sect Master, what is the big thing that happened, is there really a problem with Ma Liu, the head of the stables?"
Qin Xiaotian sighed, skimmed at Liu Erhu, and said, "Liu Xianzun, I can't judge this matter yet, of course I think he is a little suspicious!"
In the affairs of the sect, it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one person go! This time, Ouyang Zhen was called to find him and have a more in-depth talk and guidance to him to see what kind of attitude he had.
It is indispensable to observe words and looks, if he is really a thief, he will definitely show flaws!
I was about to return the horses to the stables when I came to the hall from the mansion when I met a suspicious person, who do you think the other party was?
Liu Erhu's heart tightened, and he thought for a moment, "What identity? Sect Master, you might as well tell me bluntly." β
"Okay, I'll let you know. "The other party has a great background, it is a disciple of Shouxian Palace Immortal Cultivator, they secretly colluded in the stable, and wanted to use the identity of Ma Liu's head to sell all the horses in the stable, so as to reduce the marching speed of my outer sect.
"And such things!" Liu Erhu looked surprised, as if he was thinking about something.
After waiting for a while, he didn't see Ouyang Zhen come back, and Liu Erhu was already a little anxious. sighed and said, "Hey, it's completely dark, will Ouyang Zhen go to eat first, in my opinion, this matter will be tried again tomorrow!"
It is indeed time to hold the lamp, and unconsciously, the hall is brightly lit, and the disciples are still sticking to their posts, because Qin Xiaotian is here, they don't dare to be lazy easily, and they must wait for Qin Xiaotian to leave the hall before they dare to leave.
"Wait, tomorrow is tomorrow. β
Otherwise, when Ouyang Zhen arrived, the hall was already empty, and he would have to complain again.
Liu Erhu was just persuading Qin Xiaotian, he was the sect master of the outer sect, how could he dare to disobey his words?" "Okay, let's sit here and wait for them to come!"
After waiting for half a burnt incense, Ouyang Zhen was wrapped in the night, followed by a young man, drooping his head, and entered the hall. Under the illumination of the lights, Ouyang Zhen showed a satisfied look on his face, only the young man with his head drooping seemed to feel that the light was too dazzling, and his face was discouraged.
The young man behind Ouyang Zhen was Ma Liu, the chief steward in the stable.
He said from afar, "Hey, why are you still here so late!"
I made up my mind on the way, if you leave the hall, I will imprison this guy Ma Liu, and try him again tomorrow!
"The sect master is waiting for you, why did you come after most of the day. Liu Erhu said with a bit of blame.
"Senior brother, are you still talking to people? It's to find someone, not to get something!"
After finishing speaking, Ouyang Zhen smiled. He is such a person, he has nothing to say, and he is not afraid of offending people. However, when I really talked to Qin Xiaotian, I still knew some etiquette.
Ouyang Zhen's rude response, of course Liu Erhu would not be angry. You can't be angry, why should you be angry with him? Besides, they have been talking like this for so long, and they have never shied away from suspicion.
Then he brought Ma Liu to Qin Xiaotian, he sat upright, cleared his throat, and then asked, "Ma Liu, do you know that it is so late that I still want to find you?"
Ma Liu slowly raised his head at this time, bowed slightly to Qin Xiaotian with both hands, and said, "Disciple Ma Liu doesn't know, please ask the sect master to make it clear." β
"Okay, great, that's what I want from you. Qin Xiaotian high-fived happily.
Let me ask you, you didn't discuss countermeasures with the disciples of the Shou Xiangong in the stables before, you should know about this! You have to explain the ins and outs of this matter to me one by one, and this is the real reason why I called you. You have thought clearly, you can't hide anything from me, otherwise you will be a bully.
Although we are all about the same age, the nature of our work is different, and you can do it yourself.
Qin Xiaotian's words have obviously been picked out, and Ma Liu can't do it if he doesn't say it. After the corners of his mouth twitched, his body couldn't help but shudder, and he tried his best to calm down, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.
At this moment, Ouyang Zhen tore Ma Liu's robe with his hands, shouted, and said, "Damn Ma Liu, hurry up and recruit it, so as not to suffer from skin and flesh!"
Frightened like this, Ma Liu's heart was even more frightened, but he felt that he was very wronged, so he pounced, knelt in front of Qin Xiaotian, and said, "Sect Master, the disciple still doesn't know what you are talking about, I am wronged!"
"Hmph, isn't it contradictory that you're talking?" Since we don't know what we're talking about, why do you say you're wronged, it's just quibbling.
Qin Xiaotian waved his hand and said, "Liu Xianzun, don't worry, let him speak slowly, I'm listening." β
"Let me ask you again, are you secretly colluding with the disciples of that Shou Immortal Palace!" If you violate the rules of the sect, I have to deal with it according to the rules of the sect master!
There are many kinds of torture in the outer sect, so please choose one yourself, so that you can be considered a man and have the courage of a man.
Suddenly, in the hall of the outer sect, although the lights were bright, the atmosphere seemed to be condensed at this moment, quiet and cold, as if it was in the cold winter season.
After a while, Qin Xiaotian still fixed his eyes on Ma Liu, who was kneeling on the ground, and did not leave for a moment. The more silent it was, the more frightened Ma Liu became, as if a sword was on his neck, unable to move.
Ma Liu had already realized in his heart that a disaster was coming! Suddenly, he began to cry and said, "The disciple deserves to die, and I ask the sect master to spare his life." β
The disciple of the Shou Immortal Palace was originally recommended to me by the Immortal Venerable of the Third Cultivation, but I didn't know the identity of the other party, so I fell for him.
He really wants to buy all the horses in the outer sect and use them as mounts for them to attack the outer sect! He has been using me, but this matter has been known to the sect master, and it has not brought any losses to the sect!
"Hmph, if you wait for the loss, it's already too late, you're really a steward, just a good person to take care of the horses. Qin Xiaotian had obviously gradually become angry, and his momentum was a little stronger than before.
We are waiting here with a lamp, just because we are afraid that Ouyang Zhen will bring you and no one will interrogate you, and now you have confessed, and you have to be dealt with according to the rules of the foreign sect.
"Someone is coming, detain Ma Liu first, and try it again tomorrow!"
Immediately, several immortal cultivators rushed up, and in an instant, Ma Liu was tied up and escorted back to prison.
After they left, Qin Xiaotian stood up and said to Liu Erhu and Ouyang Zhen, "It's not too early, everyone should go back separately!"
Tomorrow, I will personally interrogate Ma Liu, and the two of you must come over.
With that, Qin Xiaotian strode out of the hall.
