"Xiao Che! What do you mean by this?" The Great Elder Xiao Li suddenly shouted angrily: "Are you questioning whether the sect leader stole Tongxuan Powder himself and then blamed it on Xiao Lingxi! Xiao Lingxi
The theft of Tongxuan Powder was also caused by you. If you continue to talk nonsense like this, I will be punished together with you and you will not back down!"
"First Elder, don't get excited." Xiao Che shook his head with a smile, looking harmless: "How can I dare to question the sect master? I just asked the doubts in my heart, and I believe that this is also the case.
Many people present were confused, because there were not a few people who knew the sect master's temperament, and they must be very surprised by what the sect master did this time. Of course the sect master is innocent, and it is impossible for him to do such a dirty thing, which is as disgraceful as a pig or a dog.
, so the sect master will definitely give the most perfect explanation, right, sect master."
The people in the Xiao Clan and the big dignitaries in Liuyun City were all secretly watching... They knew that Xiao Che was weak in body and weak in nature, and would get scared even when dealing with outsiders. Now not only was he in full view of the public, but also in a very tense situation.
Talking eloquently, but still remaining calm in the face of the great elder's shouts... This is completely different from the Xiao Che they know.
The words "Pigs and dogs are inferior to each other and are despised by heaven and earth" made Xiao Yunhai's cheeks twitch. He raised his head to look at Xiao Che and said with a faint smile: "First elder, there is no need to be excited. It is normal for Xiao Che to have such questions. I believe it is as he said.
He said that many friends here would also be confused about this. In fact, when I received Tongxuan Powder from Mr. Xiao yesterday, I was indeed prepared to keep it with me. However, Tongxuan Powder is a high-level elixir brought by Xiao Sect.
Medicine is extremely precious. The higher the level of the elixir, the easier it is for its medicinal power to escape. For such a treasure elixir, even if the medicinal power is lost even a little bit, it is a huge loss. If you carry it with you and frequently come into contact with it,
The turbid Qi, even if it is protected by black ebony, is still easy to escape, so I put it in the pharmacy. After all, the pharmacy has stocked various medicinal materials for many years and has a lot of medicinal Qi.
', Where the 'medicine energy' is abundant, the elixir energy is less likely to escape... This is the reason."
"Another reason is that we, the Xiao Clan, have always adhered to strict etiquette and etiquette. I never thought that a 'family thief' would appear, let alone that I would be bold enough to steal the heavy gifts sent by the Xiao Sect... But no matter what the reason is,
After all, an important reason for the theft of Tongxuan Powder is my negligence. I cannot escape the blame for this. If Mr. Xiao wants to punish him, I will have no complaints."
After Xiao Yunhai finished speaking, he sighed heavily.
Xiao Yunhai's explanation was simply flawless. The First Elder immediately shouted loudly again: "Xiao Che! Can you hear me clearly now? The sect master placed Tongxuan Powder in the medicine room precisely because the sect master was thoughtful and thoughtful.
Protect the medicinal power of Tongxuan Powder! Who would have expected that a house thief would appear! What else do you have to say?"
"Oh! That's it!" Xiao Che nodded, seeming to be very satisfied with Xiao Yunhai's explanation: "The sect master is indeed knowledgeable, and he actually knows the existence of such a thing as 'medicine energy'. Then, the second question I want to ask
This question happens to be related to this 'medicinal energy'."
Xiao Che narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a faint smile: "Speaking of 'medicinal energy', our Xiao Clan's pharmacy has been stocking up on various medicinal materials for decades, which is indeed very sufficient. Moreover, due to the sparseness in the pharmacy,
There is the largest number of Aphrodisiac herb, so the taste of the medicinal gas is mainly the sweet smell of Aphrodisiac aphrodisiac."
"The sect owner also knows that the box containing Tongxuan Powder is made of black ebony. The black ebony can protect the potency of the pill from leaking out. The sect owner also knows that the black ebony can protect the potency of the pill.
What is the reason? Well, the principle is actually very simple. Black ebony has a strong ability to adsorb particles. When the diffusion of medicinal power touches the black ebony, it will be firmly absorbed by the black ebony, and it is extremely difficult to spread on the surface.
After inhaling to saturation, the power of the medicine cannot be dissipated even if you want to. I believe that anyone here with a little bit of medical knowledge will know this principle."
Many people present nodded silently.
"Then, if this black ebony box containing Tongxuan Powder has been left in the pharmacy for a period of time, a large amount of the 'medicinal gas' from the pharmacy will inevitably be absorbed into the surface. With the characteristics of black ebony, it will absorb
It is extremely fast, but spreads extremely slowly. After you take it out of the pharmacy, even if you leave it for two or three days, you can still smell the 'medicine smell' when you get close... which is the sweet smell of Shuluo grass.
breath……"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yunhai's expression suddenly changed slightly.
Xiao Che calculated that Xiao Yunhai could not really put Tongxuan Powder in the medicine room, because if Tongxuan Powder was really stolen, he would cry blind... And Xiao Yunhai did not put it in the medicine room.
The Tongxuan powder is placed in the pharmacy. As for Xiao Gu, the Qi in the pharmacy has naturally been passed for a long time. With Xiao Sect's intimidation, how could Xiao Gu dare to say "no".
"I wonder if the sect master dares to bring that box over and let us smell if there is any smell on it?" Xiao Che said with a smile.
"Xiao Che! You are really questioning the sect leader. It is so unreasonable!" Before Xiao Yunhai could speak, Xiao Li was furious again: "In order to protect your little aunt, you actually want to force the question on the sect leader.
It’s simply ridiculous! It’s unreasonable! I, the Xiao Clan, have raised you for nothing for so many years, why don’t you get out!!”
"Haha, Great Elder, there is no need to be excited. Their aunt-nephew relationship has always been very good, so it is understandable that they would try their best to find an excuse. And what he said is very reasonable. Since he wants to know if there is anything wrong with this box, where is it?
Prove it to him. However, this Tongxuan Powder, including the Black Mysterious Ebony Wood, are treasures. How can they be allowed to be touched casually?" After saying that, Xiao Yunhai turned to Xiao Kuangyun and said respectfully: "Then please give it to Mr. Xiao.
As a witness, I think Mr. Xiao can convince the public more than anyone else."
Xiao Che secretly sneered, but his expression remained unchanged, and he nodded slightly: "Of course, if it is Mr. Xiao, of course it is the most trustworthy. I would also like to ask Mr. Xiao to smell the smell on the box to clear my doubts.
"
Xiao Kuangyun and Xiao Yunhai's eyes met, and they were thinking at the same time, how could this idiot Xiao Che know that this was originally directed by them. Xiao Kuangyun picked up the box in his hand, smiled disdainfully, and said lightly: "This question is quite interesting.
Ah. In that case, I will smell it for you."
After saying that, Xiao Kuangyun lifted the box containing Tongxuan Powder, brought it close to his nose, smelled it carefully, then frowned slightly and said: "Although it's not very strong, it does have a sweet and fishy smell.
"
He narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "Elder, please come and have a look, so that no one will doubt that I am colluding with the Xiao Clan Master."
"How could Young Master Xiao tell lies, given his status?" the elder Xiao Li quickly flattered him, and he obediently leaned forward, sniffed hard, and then nodded: "Yes, there is indeed something sweet and fishy.
Taste." He glared angrily and said sternly: "Xiao Che, what else do you have to say? Mr. Xiao and the sect master have given you a huge favor. If you continue to be so messy, I will personally drive you out immediately.
"
"Oh! Great elder, please calm down." Xiao Che waved his hand, and then his face became weird: "Both Mr. Xiao and the great elder actually smelled the sweet smell, this and this... ahem, actually, just now
I accidentally said something wrong... Mr. Xiao has a noble status, and he must be exposed to high-grade elixirs. He must not even look at such common things as Shuluo grass. The sect master and the great elder are dedicated to cultivating.
Xuan, I have no medical knowledge, and I have no time to go to the pharmacy, so you may not know that the taste of Shuluo grass is not sweet, but sweet and bitter. Any of you will know it if you go to the pharmacy now and smell it...
Huh? Young Master Xiao and the First Elder both smelled the fishy smell, which I really can’t understand. I wonder who among you here can help explain it?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed and became extremely exciting. On the other hand, Xiao Kuangyun, Xiao Yunhai, and the Great Elder Xiao Li all turned stiff for a moment... Although it was only for a moment, it was enough for many people.
He could see it clearly. Some of the Xiao Clan disciples who were familiar with the smell of Sphincter Grass and who often went to the apothecary were all stunned...
Many people's hearts began to beat wildly...
They began to smell a different smell...
"Xiao Che! Why don't you shut up, you bastard... Not only are you trying to protect Xiao Lingxi, you actually dare to question the sect master and Mr. Xiao! You are still talking nonsense here. I think you are deliberately playing tricks on us!" Xiao
Li's face was livid, and his eyes showed a fierce look: "Master Xiao, Sect Master, don't listen to his nonsense anymore! The truth about the theft of Tongxuan Powder has been revealed, there is no need to waste any more time. This kid Xiao Che is not only the cause, but also harbors the criminals.
And if you offend the sect master and Mr. Xiao, you should be punished together!!"
Anyone who is not deaf can tell that there is a sense of irritation and irritation in Xiao Li's words. He completely avoided the matter of "smelling the wrong" smell just now, without even a word of explanation.
"Since Elder Xiao doesn't want to talk nonsense, I will stop talking nonsense. The last question I want to ask is this friend of the Xiao Sect named Xiao Jiu. For you, this is an extremely simple question, and I think you will definitely answer it.
Come up. And if your answer comes up, then I will admit that my little aunt stole the Tongxuan Powder. If you want to punish my little aunt, or even punish me, I will never complain again!"
After saying that, before Xiao Yunhai and the others could react, Xiao Che's eyes fell on Xiao Jiu's dead face. His expression was still neither salty nor bland, but his eyes had become extremely sharp, and every word was clanking.
He asked: "Xiao Jiu, you said that Tongxuan San was found under the pillow in my little aunt's room. So, can you tell me whether the bed in my little aunt's room is on the east or west side of the room?
What color are the pillows? Are they placed at the south or north end of the bed?"
Xiao Jiu's face instantly stiffened, and the faces of Xiao Kuangyun, Xiao Yunhai and others also suddenly became extremely ugly.
"If you have been to my little aunt's room and found Tongxuan Powder under her pillow, then these questions must be extremely simple for you... Come, tell me your answer, as long as you say it,
My little aunt and I immediately confessed our guilt without any hesitation. Well, I think you, Mr. Xiao, the sect master, and all the elders must want to resolve this matter immediately and start the business of today, right? Then hurry up and say it,
It's so bad to waste your master's and everyone's time... Tell me? Tell me... hmm? Why don't you tell me? Didn't you obviously go to my little aunt's room? Then why can't you answer such a simple question?
Coming up?"
"You couldn't have... never been to my little aunt's room, right? Then you said that Tongxuan Powder was found under my little aunt's pillow... What's going on? Could it be that you know the legendary ability to steal chickens from thousands of miles away?
