Chapter 17: Coming Out

Hurrying in the middle of the day, Wei Li and his party came to the outside of Jinyang City before noon. Staying up all night was not a problem at all for this group of people, and everyone was still in good spirits.

Ye Lingwei said to Wei Li: "Jinyang City is located in the west of Jinshui, Fenshui passes through the city, known as the backbone of the world, the north curbs the Huns, and the south looks at the Central Plains. The people here are fierce, and everyone practices martial arts, so the most here are martial arts halls and dart shops. Shi Qianqiu came here three years ago and established Songfeng Zhai to teach people martial arts without charging any fees. For a time, there were many followers, and every time his Songfeng lecture hall started, there were many followers. ”

Wei Li was going down the mountain for the first time after practicing martial arts, and he felt a sense of relief all over his body, and he said in a relaxed tone: "Uncle Shi, you are reminding me that Ji Qiang's predecessor has a motive to kill, right?"

Regarding Wei Li's more and more casual attitude, Ye Lingwei only frowned slightly, and randomly returned to normal: "This operation is related to the reputation of our Jingwu Sect, and there must be no incident of Jingwu Sect disciples killing people because of competing for students." ”

When the other True Qi Realm disciples saw that Wei Li, a Flesh Realm disciple, was so casual with Ye Lingwei, they all thought that he would be reprimanded. Unexpectedly, this usually arrogant and cold senior sister not only did not reprimand, but explained to Wei Li, and her eyes were shocked.

A few people had just entered the city, and Zhou Botong, who had been sleeping all the way, suddenly came to his senses, his eyes looked left and right, and he was full of interest in the snacks on both sides of the market, the clay figures, and the jugglers, and after a while, he disappeared into the crowd.

Wei Weixin sighed secretly, it seems that the door has already judged Ji Qiang's killing of Shi Qianqiu, so he will send Zhou Botong, an unreliable person, over. Xiang Ye Lingwei said, "What should we do?"

Ye Lingwei was not surprised by Zhou Botong's departure, she knew that this Zhou Protector practiced Kongming Boxing, although he loved to play around, but he was empty-minded, and the reason why he avoided it was because he was afraid of embarrassment.

As the leader of the team this time, Ye Lingwei was duty-bound and said, "Let's go to Huijian Villa first and ask Uncle Ji for advice." ”

When the group came to the gate of Huijian Villa, they immediately found that the atmosphere was not right, and the people standing at the gate of the villa were all disciples of Haoran Academy, and it was obvious that this place was controlled by Haoran Academy.

Ye Lingwei and his entourage's faces turned black in an instant, Haoran Academy controlled Huijian Villa before the matter was clarified, this was a naked slap in the face.

When he entered the lobby of the villa, what he saw made Wei Li feel even more stunned, and he secretly screamed badly.

It turned out that there was a person sitting upright on the throne in the hall, his face was not happy or angry, and beside him stood a handsome young man, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and he was dignified and graceful.

The two of them shriveled to the ground, and two little girls of five or six years old were crying softly next to them.

Ye Lingwei said angrily: "What does Uncle Zuo mean by this?"

Wei Li had already heard Ye Lingwei say on the road, Haoran Academy sent it was likely to be Zuo Qiu Ming, known as the "Zuo Spring and Autumn Period", who created his own Spring and Autumn Zuo Clan's sword, a left-handed sword, swordsmanship like a history book, blending the virtual and the real in one move, there are unpredictable opportunities, and the top ten grandmasters ranked second.

Zuo Qiu Ming sat on the main seat, not moving at all, and the young swordsman next to him said: "Senior Sister Ye, the poem says: Vote for me with papaya, and repay it with Qiong Yao." Today, you sent Elder Ji to slaughter the disciples of our hospital, how should I repay him, I hope that my senior sister will teach me. ”

This shows the disadvantage of the Jingwu Sect, and no one can talk to Zuo Qiu Ming on an equal footing.

Ye Lingwei said helplessly: "Your letter only said that you suspected Elder Ji Qiang's actions and invited us to jointly investigate, but our personnel did not arrive, but you detained Elder Ji Qiang first." If Senior Brother Haoran doesn't tell the truth, I will not give up. ”

Meng Haoran said: "Naturally, it will convince the junior sister." Shi Er, tell me what you saw that night. ”

Next to him, a thin man in a green coat and a small hat and dressed as a slave said: "Five days ago, I waited for the master to go to the toilet with Li Zhong, and I left temporarily due to diarrhea in the middle, and when I came back again, I saw a man in black chasing the master with a sword. The villain was so frightened that he didn't dare to come forward, so he hid in a dry well next to him, and didn't dare to climb out until yesterday. Before he died, the old man shouted, "Ji Qiang, you are so poisonous." The voice was remembered clearly. ”

Hearing this, Wei Li's hanging heart was half relieved, at least there was no direct evidence to prove that Ji Qiang had killed someone, and there was still room for maneuver.

At this time, Meng Haoran said again: "Bring up Elder Shi's body." ”

Slowly uncovering the white cloth on Shi Qianqiu's body, Wei Li saw that Shi Qianqiu had a total of three swords on his body, one sword in the chest, one sword in the back, and one sword in the thigh, and the fatal wound was the sword in the front chest, which passed through the chest.

Wei Li could imagine that someone must have stabbed him from behind when he was in the toilet, and Shi Qianqiu rolled forward in a hurry, so the wound of this sword was not deep, but it was very long. Seeing that Shi Qianqiu dodged this sword, the murderer was unforgiving, and took advantage of the victory to cut off his hamstrings, cut off the way to escape, and then killed him with a sword in the chest.

Meng Haoran said angrily: "The three swords in Shi Qianqiu's office have clear wounds, forming a "one" shape, just like a famous calligrapher, and other swordsmanship can never be imitated. ”

Ye Lingwei said, "Since Elder Ji wants to kill people, why does he use his own sword technique, why don't you destroy the corpse after killing Shi Qianqiu?"

Meng Haoran said: "He not only wants to destroy the corpse, but also wants to destroy the Shi family, more than 100 slaves of the Shi family were slaughtered by him, fortunately, I was a guest at the Shi family that day, and he fought two tricks, so he hurriedly escaped." ”

Ye Lingwei said strongly: "It seems inappropriate to judge our Elder Ji to kill people based on the wounds and the testimony of the slaves, right?" In fact, she already recognized in her heart that the murderer was Ji Qiang, because this kind of calligraphy-like "one-word" shaped wound could not be done by other sects, and only by practicing the one-word wisdom sword for more than ten years could there be such kung fu.

Meng Haoran said confidently: "Of course, it is more than that, Elder Ji of your sect has already admitted to killing people. ”

Ye Lingwei was taken aback, looked at Ji Qiang, and Zuo Qiu Ming, who was sitting in the main seat, moved his fingers slightly, pointing to the five leaves of the wind flower, entering Ji Qiang's five big acupoints, and Ji Qiang regained his ability to move.

Wei Li looked at it intently, Ji Qiang had a strange face, with three long wisps of beard, very much like Mr. Teaching. Now he was depressed, unable to justify: "Shi Qianqiu taught people to practice martial arts, but he didn't collect money, I don't know how many people in the city who make a living by teaching people to practice martial arts went bankrupt because of him, why can't I kill him for Jinyang to eliminate a harm?"

Ji Qiang actually admitted this matter in person, how can there be room for maneuver in the matter, Ye Lingwei was stunned for a moment, and then her face was depressed, she had nothing to say, and the other disciples of the Jingwu Sect saw that the main master had admitted it, and it was not good to say anything.

Wei Li's secret path is not good, if he returns to Jingwumen with this result, this mission will definitely be a failure, not to mention the reward, and the punishment will not be able to escape.

Seeing that the others had no fighting spirit, he hurriedly stood up and said: "Duke Zhou is afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang is humble and corporal. There are some things that the eyes see, and the ears hear. Since your faction invited us to investigate together, it is natural that you should also give us time to investigate, and no one from our faction participated in the previous investigation, and we cannot accept the results of the investigation. ”

As soon as Wei Li stood up, he immediately attracted the attention of others, and when he heard Wei Li finish speaking, Zuo Qiu Ming, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at Wei Li and spoke for the first time: "Who are you? Now that the human and physical evidence is conclusive, why are you still arguing here!"

Wei Li suddenly felt like he was being targeted by a fierce tiger, and his left and right shoulders pressed a big mountain, but at this time, he had already ridden the tiger and was unable to get down, and looked at Zuo Qiu Ming and said: "Wei Li, an ordinary disciple of the Xia Jing Martial Sect, since the evidence is conclusive, why are you afraid that we will investigate it again?" I heard that your country still has three divisions to judge the case, and there is a Dali Temple compound, since it is a matter of two factions, I will send a re-investigation, why not?"

Zuo Qiu Ming got up and said, "Good, good, good." I'll give you three days, if you can't find other results after three days, I will go to Jingwumen and ask for justice from the master of Sanfengmen. Haoran, take Ji Qiang, let's go"

As Zuo Qiu Ming left, the disciples of Haoran Academy also left one after another, and the huge Huijian Villa suddenly emptied.

As soon as the people of Haoran Academy left, someone suddenly stood up and said: "Wei Li's nephew, the matter has already been clear, why do you want to make extraneous branches? If you can't find other results, and provoke Zuo Qiu Ming to get into trouble with the Jingwu Sect, who will be responsible?" The other disciples began to complain that Wei Li shouldn't be strong.
