Chapter 68: The Thief
Mei Jiutong left Zhai Jingyue's room, thinking about what happened today, and she didn't feel sleepy for a while, preparing to visit Le Yiyang again. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
As he passed by the lobby of the Valley Sect, he found that it was brightly lit. Mei Jiutong curiously pushed open the door and found that it was full of people. When they heard the door open, they all looked back. Mei Jiutong hurriedly said: "You don't misunderstand, when I passed by here, I saw that the lights hadn't been turned off late at night, so I came in to take a look." ”
Everyone didn't answer, but they just stood apart on both sides, but they saw Ge Minshan sitting above the lobby, and the one standing next to him was still the big apprentice Yuan Zhenzhen. Ge Minshan saw that the person who came was Mei Jiutong, and asked, "Mei Gongzi hasn't rested yet?" Mei Jiutong replied reverently: "Senior Ge, where can you sleep?" Ge Minshan said: "Also, too many things have happened recently, and no one can rest in peace?"
Mei Jiutong thought that he was talking about Le Yiyang's poisoning, and replied: "Brother Le's poison has not yet been cured, it is really worrying!" Ge Minshan said: "Le Gongzi was injured in my Lonely Valley, and the old man was helpless, I am really ashamed!" Mei Jiutong said: "The old man doesn't have to blame himself, if you hadn't healed Brother Le's luck, he would have been dead now." As long as he still has a breath left, we can think of a way to find an antidote for him. ”
Ge Minshan shook his head helplessly and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Yuan Zhenzhen stepped forward and said, "Master Mei, after the master healed Le Gongzi's injuries today, his body was tired, and he fell asleep when he returned to the room. When he woke up, he found that the martial arts secret he was carrying was missing, and the master was worried about it. ”
Mei Jiutong didn't expect such a major event to happen during the period, and asked with concern: "Senior Ge lives in the Lonely Valley, thinking that the secret of martial arts is an extraordinary thing, and the profound martial arts recorded on it are probably not known to the world." Such a top-secret martial arts stunt, I don't know who stole it?"
Yuan Zhenzhen said: "Master was deeply sleepy at that time, and in a trance, he seemed to be hit by someone in a sleeping hole, and he fell asleep for three hours in a row. I didn't expect there to be such a bold and reckless person in the Lonely Valley, if I found out, I would definitely not let him go!"
Mei Jiutong asked, "Does Miss Yuan have any clues now?" Yuan Zhenzhen said indignantly: "After checking for so long, nothing has been found. Mei Jiu Channel: "It's strange to say, who would do such a thing, could it be a party warrior?" Yuan Zhenzhen heard this and asked: "Mei Gongzi, you mean the person who Tuoba Jiyu." That's not good, Tuoba Jiyu is strong in martial arts, if he gets "Yuanhe Secret Notes", my Central Plains martial arts will suffer. ”
Mei Jiu Channel: ""The Secret of Yuan and Secrets" was unheard of before the next, and I don't know what kind of book it is. ”
Yuan Zhenzhen said: "This is a martial arts secret book handed down from the Yuanhe period of Emperor Xianzong of the Tang Dynasty, which records the excellent martial arts in the world during the Tang Dynasty. "The Secret of Yuanhe" has been hidden in the Lonely Valley for nearly a hundred years, and it has always been kept secret, and if it is obtained by people with bad intentions, it will definitely be a big disaster in the martial arts. Mei Gongzi, how do you know that it was stolen by Tuoba Jiyu's people?"
After Mei Jiutong heard this, she knew that this matter was not trivial, and if she didn't investigate it thoroughly, it would be very harmful, and said, "Miss Yuan, it's just a guess below. After Jingyue and I visited Brother Le during the day, we left Cuixin alone in the room to take care of him. In the evening, when I visited again, Emerald Heart was gone. ”
Yuan Zhenzhen was shocked: "What? Miss Cuixin is gone? Why didn't you say it earlier? Are there traces of a fight in Le Gongzi's room?"
Mei Jiu Channel: "I didn't look closely, Cuixin doesn't know martial arts, and someone can capture her effortlessly." I was so anxious that I didn't know how safe Cui Xin was, so I went outside to look for it. During the day, we seized the white horse of Tuoba Jiyu and went to the stable to check it out. When we got there, we found that two samurai were ready to steal their horses. ”
Yuan Zhenzhen's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly asked, "Miss Cuixin is in their hands?" Mei Jiutong said disappointedly: "Cuixin is not there. After saying that, he told what had happened in the stable, and everyone present was shocked and talked about it at the moment.
After a while, a young man stood up and said, "How can this be true! Are those party members actually unmanned in my lonely valley?" Mei Jiutong fixed his eyes and saw that person was Chen Lingzhi, who was competing with Zhang Yingxian during the day. The others chimed in: "What Senior Brother Chen said makes sense. They must not be spared. ”
Mei Jiutong said angrily: "These warriors have repeatedly taught and tried to hurt people's lives many times, and they are indeed unforgivable. However, as the head of Kaifeng Mansion, he has always adhered to the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty, and he usually does not kill people easily. This time it didn't break that precept after all. ”
The people in the hall look at me, I look at you, with a regretful expression on their faces. Yuan Zhenzhen was also silent, thinking about what would happen next.
At this time, Chen Lingzhi asked: "Master Mei, according to what you say, those two party warriors escaped after all?" Mei Jiutong said with a smile: "I am already alone, wandering in the rivers and lakes, don't call me any more adults and adults." Chen Lingzhi said respectfully: "Master Mei is humble. In that case, I will follow the example of my senior sister and call you Mei Gongzi. ”
Mei Jiutong nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Chen." The sneak attack of those two party warriors failed, and I couldn't bear to hurt their lives, so I could only advise them not to do bad things with Tuoba Jiyu from now on. After the two of them agreed, they left the Valley of Silence via the Tiger Wolf Forest. ”
After hearing this, Chen Lingzhi glanced at Senior Sister Yuan Zhenzhen and Master Ge Minshan, and said loudly: "Wild beasts often appear in the tiger wolf forest, and we disciples rarely go alone, how can those two party warriors swagger away, it is really a strange thing. ”
Mei Jiutong sighed and said slowly: "Those two people are not familiar with each other, how do they know that this forest is the place where tigers are besieged during the day." When Jingyue and I turned back to the building, we suddenly heard two screams from the woods. By the time we arrived, the two had already been swallowed by the tiger. At this, his voice became muffled, and a trace of grief flashed through his heart.
At this time, it was already expected by those Yougu Sect disciples in the hall, and they were not surprised to hear this kind of ending.
Yuan Zhenzhen heard that the two of them had died, and wanted to find out the whereabouts of "Yuan He Secret Notes", and asked: "Mei Gongzi, have you seen any traces of confetti in the place where the two were killed?" Mei Jiu informed what she was referring to, shook her head and said: "Miss Yuan, except for blood and torn clothes, there were no other things carried by the two of them at the scene. ”
Yuan Zhenzhen said to himself: "Could it be that he was swallowed by a tiger? That's better, it's better than falling into the wrong hands." Mei Jiu channel: "I don't dare to make a conclusion about this matter." ”
Ge Minshan next to him coughed. Everyone looked at him, only to hear him say sonorously: "I agree with Mei Gongzi's opinion. Judging from the battle between those two party warriors and Mei Gongzi, their martial arts can only be regarded as inferior, and if they break into the building, someone will definitely find out. Besides, they only came to steal horses, and they didn't know that there were martial arts secrets hidden in the Lonely Valley, so the old man concluded that the person who stole the "Yuanhe Secret Notes" was not them, but someone else!"
Yuan Zhenzhen said in a coquettish voice: "It's really annoying, who did it?" Mei Jiutong straightened her body and wanted to be speechless.
Seeing this, Ge Minshan said in a kind tone: "I heard that Gongzi Mei once served as the chief catcher of Kaifeng Mansion, which is really amazing. Why do you come out to wander the rivers and lakes if you don't do it well? The rivers and lakes are much more sinister than the officialdom!" Mei Jiutong smiled slightly and said: "I am only a shallow learner in the lower ranks, and it is difficult to be qualified for the post of chief catcher, so I resigned and did not do it." ”
Ge Minshan stroked his beard with his hand, and laughed: "Mei Gongzi is a man of temperament, and the old man admires it." What happened in the Valley of Silence today has nothing to do with you. However, the old man and the apprentices racked their brains, and they didn't figure out who did it, so they asked Mei Gongzi for advice?"
Mei Jiutong was stunned for a moment, and thought: "Could it be that Senior Ge suspects that I am doing it?" Seeing this, Ge Minshan was worried that he had misunderstood, so he hurriedly added: "Young Master Mei, don't think too much. The old man meant to ask you to help solve this matter. Mei Jiutong put his mind at ease, stepped forward and said: "Since the old-timers put it forward, you can do your best when you get down." Ge Minshan approvingly: "Okay, wonderful, with the help of Mei Gongzi, you can sit back and relax." ”
Mei Jiutong was originally a public person, and he usually had a lot of experience in investigating cases, so he dared to take over this theft case. He thought for a moment, then looked around the room again, and saw that most of the disciples under Ge Minshan were present, but he didn't find Zhang Yingxian's figure. So he said: "Senior Ge, there is a sentence below, is it not worth talking about?"
Ge Minshan smiled and said, "Mei Gongzi, there is an old man here, you can just say anything you have." Mei Jiutong bowed respectfully and said, "I thought that there was no flaw in this matter, and it must have been done by someone who was familiar with the daily life and rest of his predecessors." ”
Everyone in the hall was taken aback, looked at each other, and acted as if nothing had happened. Chen Lingzhi stood up and said indignantly: "What Mei Gongzi means is that the person who stole the secret of the martial arts is among us. Mei Jiutong replied lightly: "It may not be the person in the house." ”
Ge Minshan saw that everyone in the audience was calm and calm, and he didn't know how to answer, when he suddenly saw that Zhang Yingxian was missing from the room, and asked loudly: "Is Xian'er here?" Yuan Zhenzhen hurriedly said: "Master, I went to call him earlier, and found that he was not in the room. I asked the other juniors and disciples, and they all said that after he left in a rage, he never saw him again. ”
Ge Minshan said angrily: "Why didn't you tell the teacher earlier!" Yuan Zhenzhen said innocently: "This happened too hastily, and the apprentice didn't have time to report it......" Yuan Zhenzhen is usually in charge of the affairs of the Lonely Valley, Ge Minshan trusts her very much, and he has only told him about the treasure in the stone room, this time it must be her negligence, Ge Minshan couldn't bear to continue to reprimand her, and interrupted: "Okay, Zhen'er, this is not your fault." ”
Yuan Zhenzhen also thought in his heart whether this matter was Zhang Yingxian's doing, but he couldn't figure out why he did it. So while sending people to look for his traces, he came over to discuss a solution with the master.
