Chapter 72 Absconding in fear of crime
"This can't be done, what is it like?" Ji Qiu pointed his finger on his forehead and urged, "Come quickly, this is the only thing missing."
Ji Linger must have been really angry, sitting at the table and not answering.
Ji Chou knew the real reason for Ji Ling'er's anger and knew how to get rid of the problem, but he really didn't like these people from the Yanjian Sect. In fact, he also had some grudge against Ji Lianyu. The reason was also very simple. Feng Tianlun had tried to
Killing him was such a despicable act of bullying the weak and repaying kindness with hatred. Ji Lianyu actually did not expel him from the school, but temporarily seized his clan membership to see the consequences.
When a woman is angry, nine out of ten women will not speak, and the same is true for Ji Linger.
Ji Ling'er didn't speak, and Ji Chou didn't speak either, but in the end Ji Chou relented. He thought of Ji Ling'er risking his life to save him on the night of the incident, and refused to let go even though he was seriously injured.
Just as he was about to give in, there was a knock on the door, "Ji Chou."
Ji Chou heard that the person knocking on the door was Wang Laoqi, so he didn't answer. Instead, he glanced at Ji Linger first.
Ji Linger tilted her head to the side and did not express her position.
"Come in." Ji Chou responded.
Wang Laoqi pushed open the door and poked his head in. Seeing Ji Linger sitting at the table, he hurriedly gave her an awkward smile.
Ji Ling'er disliked Wang Laoqi very much and did not hide her disgust. Without waiting for a moment, she got up from her seat and walked towards the door.
"Hey, please keep the ointment." Ji Chou hurriedly asked for it.
Ji Linger didn't answer, didn't turn around, and went straight out, angrily.
Wang Laoqi knew that Ji Ling'er left in anger, and also knew that it was because of himself. He looked at Ji Chou guiltily, "This, this..."
"Why are you here?" Ji Chou asked.
"Alas." Wang Laoqi sighed.
Ji Chou said, "Don't worry, I will go with you to see them tomorrow and I will testify for you. Besides, I am the assistant of the breeding house, and I have nothing to do with the poisoning of the horse. If they really want to punish you, then come with me."
The punishment is enough."
"No need," Wang Laoqi shook his head slowly, "Lu Yuanzi came to see me this afternoon."
"Oh? Why did he see you? What did he say?" Ji Chou asked in confusion. Previously, the only people who had asked Wang Laoqi for questioning were Aunt Hu and Tian Xiangzi. One of them was the head of the feeding courtyard and the other was the head of the internal affairs hall.
Lu Yuanzi is the head of the Criminal Law Hall. Logically speaking, this person should not meet Wang Laoqi before being formally held accountable.
Wang Laoqi did not answer immediately, but turned around and walked to the door and closed the door. He turned back, pulled a stool and sat beside Ji Chou's bed, and whispered, "I'm leaving."
"What do you mean?" Ji Chou asked.
Wang Laoqi said in frustration, "We tried our best to remedy the incident on the night of the incident, so they concluded that it was not you and me. They also believed that I said that several poisons were mixed together to take effect, so they concluded that the poisoner was someone else.
others."
"Since they believed that someone else was responsible for the poisoning, why did they chase you away?" Ji Chou was puzzled.
Wang Laoqi said, "Although I am not the one who poisoned me, I have nothing to do with it. There is always negligence and dereliction of duty. They hope that I will leave tonight without saying goodbye, creating the illusion of absconding in fear of crime, so as to paralyze the real poisoner."
, so that they can secretly trace it in the future."
Hearing Wang Laoqi's words, Ji Chou was very surprised. He did not expect that Lu Yuanzi and others would handle the matter in this way. After being stunned, he asked, "Since you are not a poisoner, there is no need to flee in fear of crime.
The person who poisoned me will not understand this, and will definitely become suspicious. Will their arrangement be effective?"
"Yes," Wang Laoqi nodded sadly, "The person who poisoned me didn't know that I had discovered the ashes of Aconitum under the stove long before the accident happened. Before the mount was poisoned, I did feed Andrographis and Andrographis paniculata to the mount of the monks in the alliance.
Honeysuckle, no matter what, I am the most suspect. In order to avoid punishment, I do have a reason to escape, and the murderer will not be suspicious."
Ji Chou didn't expect that things would turn out like this. He had no idea for a moment and just sighed.
Wang Laoqi said, "Only Lu Yuanzi and I know about this matter. Tian Xiangzi and Aunt Hu don't know about it. I met you once and received your protection and care. I can't bear to leave like this, so I came here to say goodbye to you."
.”
Ji Chou was in a low mood and did not answer the call.
Seeing that Ji Chou was in a low mood, Wang Laoqi couldn't bear it, so he changed the subject with a smile, "Miss Ji is really nice to you. She even asked for rejuvenation ointment from Youyun Sect."
Jichou did not answer Wang Laoqi's words, but asked, "When will you leave?"
"After seeing you, I left." Wang Laoqi said.
Ji Chou stood up with his arms, and Wang Laoqi hurriedly reached out to help, "When you were unconscious, Miss Ji helped you feed you a Huang Zhi Rejuvenation Pill. It was not the one you collected yourself, but the one she begged for."
After helping Ji Chou up, Wang Laoqi went to get the chamber pot. When he came back with the chamber pot, Ji Chou was flipping the quilt on the bedside. Wang Laoqi knew where his money was and hurriedly tried to dissuade him, "They gave me a hundred dollars."
Two silver coins are enough for me to live on and live on. You can keep those coins for yourself."
Ji Chou didn't answer, but took the money bag and stuffed it at Wang Laoqi. Wang Laoqi refused, and pushed Ji Chou's injury, causing him to take a breath of cold air.
Seeing this, Wang Laoqi hurriedly helped him lie down and put the money bag back in its place. When he was arranging the bedding, he saw the Five Elements Tray and took it over.
"Do you want to open this Five Elements Pan?" Wang Laoqi looked directly at Ji Chou.
"Can you open it?" Ji Qiu asked back. Wang Laoqi had tried to open this copper plate before, and also used a lot of terms about the five elements, but in the end he failed.
"Okay." Wang Laoqi nodded seriously.
This was not the first time Wang Laoqi was bragging, but he had never had such a solemn expression on his face before. Seeing that he was not joking, Ji Chou hesitated, "What could be inside?"
Wang Laoqi said, "As I said before, what is stored in this Five Elements Plate is neither a spiritual elixir nor a spiritual statue, but the spiritual pet of a certain witch wizard."
"Are you sure?" Ji Chou was dubious.
"OK." Wang Laoqi nodded slowly.
"What is it?" Ji Chou asked.
Wang Laoqi shook his head, "I don't know. Unless you open the Five Elements Tray, no one knows what's inside."
"Could it be a ferocious beast?" Ji Chou asked.
"It is possible," Wang Laoqi said, "this Five Elements Disk can store any spiritual pet, whether it is a huge Kunpeng from the North Ming Dynasty or a termite from the Southern Wilderness as small as a millet."
"Is it dangerous to open it?" Ji Chou was worried.
Wang Laoqi did not answer immediately. He frowned and pondered for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "I don't think so. Based on what you said before about how you got this thing, I feel that a certain witch wizard deliberately let you get it."
"Why did this wizard let me get this thing? Even if I get it, what's the use? I can't open it." Ji Qiuduo was confused.
"I can't understand either." Wang Laoqi shook his head.
The decision of whether to turn it on or not rests with Ji Chou, but the person who makes the decision is the one who bears the consequences. If a ferocious monster is released, it will cause trouble for the Soul-Suppressing Alliance.
"Do you know what the relationship between the Wu clan and the human clan is?" Ji Chou asked.
Wang Laoqi replied casually, "The Wu Clan used to protect the human race in the early years. After tens of thousands of years of twists and turns, too many changes have occurred. Today, the relationship between the Wu Clan and the human race is very cold, and they rarely interact with the human race."
"They have no reason to harm the human race, right?" Ji Chou asked again.
"Probably not," Wang Laoqi shook his head and said, "The Wu Clan is hostile to the Shura Clan and the Night Demon Clan, and has no deep feelings for the human race."
"Oh." Ji Chou nodded slowly.
Seeing that Ji Chou was still hesitant, Wang Laoqi did not urge him, but casually talked about the origin of the Wu Clan, "The Wu Clan has the same origin as the sun and the moon, possesses the five elements, is upright and forthright, and has a clear distinction between love and hate. According to legend, the Wu Clan is both male and female.
With long shawl hair, wizards can be up to ten feet tall, and witches are nearly nine feet tall. They are extremely tall and have very handsome faces. They mainly live in the mountains of Xilongbo in Baili. Later, the ancestral witch Shebishi led some of her tribe to travel around the world.
, and finally settled in Wuxian Kingdom in the South China Sea."
"What is an ancestral witch?" Ji Chou asked curiously.
"The Wu clan has twelve ancestral witches and several great witches. The twelve ancestral witches are Dijiang, Jumang, Liaoshou, Gonggong, Zhurong, Tianwu, Qiangliang, Shebishi, Xuanming, Houtu...
..”
Before Wang Laoqi could finish speaking, Ji Chou interrupted him, "Who are you and why are you so knowledgeable?"
"I've told you a long time ago that I am a master who hides his secrets." Wang Laoqi said with a smile on his face.
Ji Chou looked at Wang Lao Qi with doubtful eyes. He and Wang Lao Qi had not known each other for a long time, and he still couldn't figure out whether this person was bluffing or hiding something secretly. You could say Wang Lao Qi was bluffing, but this person also had some problems.
He has real skills. But if Wang Laoqi hides his secrets, he is also unreliable in many things.
"Okay, it's getting late, and it's time for me to leave," Wang Laoqi said, "Have you ever thought about whether you want to open this Five Elements Tray?"
"What do you think?" Ji Chou couldn't make up his mind.
"I don't care." Wang Laoqi threw the hot potato to Ji Chou again.
"Open it," Ji Chou tilted his head with a wicked smile, "If something really happens, I will say this thing is yours."
Wang Laoqi looked disgusted, "Eh."
"Anyway, you've already taken the blame, so this one's the best." Ji Qiu said with a smile, "Come on, I'm just joking. If something really happens, I'll take the responsibility myself."
"Okay, I also want to see what's inside." Wang Laoqi opened it as soon as he said it, holding it with both hands and twisting it.
Opening the Five Elements Disk was very cumbersome, but Wang Laoqi did not turn it slowly. When the rotation reached the last moment, Wang Laoqi walked to the middle of the room and put the Five Elements Disk on the ground. The reason why he did this was undoubtedly because he was worried about the storage inside.
The spiritual pet is a huge creature.
With a crisp "click", the upper half of the Five Elements Tray began to automatically rotate and retract. Wang Laoqi hurried to the door, preparing to grab it and escape.
"Wang Laoqi, you are so unjust, what should I do if you run away?" Ji Chou shouted from the bed.
The Five Elements Disk retracted very quickly and opened completely in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, it was not a ferocious monster inside, but a very small beetle.
