Chapter 65 Discuss overnight, intercept Zhang Ming
"There is no point in surrendering to fight." Jiang Wuji said.
"May I ask who this gentleman is..." Lin Siye looked at Jiang Wuji. Although he didn't recognize Jiang Wuji, he didn't dare to talk nonsense until he knew Jiang Wuji's identity.
Jiang Wuji: "A man in white clothes."
"White clothes?" Lin Siye frowned.
Just when Lin Siye was about to ask more questions, Li Changfeng on the side said: "Do as he said."
Lin Siye bowed quickly, and then scolded the two guards who were still holding Liu Yingxue down: "Are you deaf? Let go quickly!"
The pale-faced Liu Yingxue adjusted her clothes slightly, then quickly saluted Jiang Wuji and said in a low voice: "Thank you, sir."
Perhaps out of fear, Liu Yingxue stood behind Jiang Wuji, very close to her, and there was a faint fragrance in the air.
At this time, that ordinary girl from Fengtiansi arrived.
She took out something similar to a Feng Shui compass, stabbed the poisonous fire insect to death with a dagger, and dripped the dark red blood into the center of the compass.
Immediately afterwards, the copper-colored pointer on the compass began to rotate, and after a few breaths, it calmed down.
"How is it?" Li Changfeng asked.
Zhu Yao pursed her lips and shook her head, "Not here."
Li Changfeng frowned, and then said: "Okay, you can all leave."
When everyone who was already restless heard Li Changfeng's words, they immediately dispersed, including Zhang Ming's bureaucrats, who also hurriedly fled the place.
However, just when Jiang Wuji was about to leave first, Li Changfeng and Liu Yingxue spoke up at the same time.
"wait."
"Young master, please stay."
"Is something wrong?" Jiang Wuji looked at the two of them and asked.
Li Changfeng looked at Liu Yingxue and said with a smile: "You go ahead and say it."
Liu Yingxue nodded slightly, biting her red lips with her teeth, her tall chest rising and falling.
Just when Jiang Wuji frowned, she finally plucked up the courage and said, "Young Master, why don't you stay tonight..."
Just for this?
Jiang Wuji shook his head and said: "The girl and I have never met each other, so let's forget about spending the night."
"Hey~ That's a bad statement. As the saying goes, once is born, twice is familiar. Do you know how many people spend a lot of money, but they are not favored by Miss Yingxue. They all dream of spending the night in Yingxue's pavilion."
Li Changfeng said with a wicked smile: "A spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold, so don't let down other people's good intentions."
"Li Changfeng, do you know very well? This is what master taught you?" Zhu Yao looked at him with a smile, and the smile on the latter's face suddenly stiffened.
Chief Qiu’s body is still here, so you guys start talking to me about this kind of thing?
Glancing at Liu Yingxue who was covering her heart with her hands, Jiang Wuji said, "I accept the girl's kindness."
Spending the night? What kind of night? What if you go crazy in the middle of the night?
No longer caring about Liu Yingxue, Jiang Wuji looked at Li Changfeng and asked: "Master Li, why are you looking for me?"
Li Changfeng glanced at Chief Qiu's body and said with a smile: "Of course we have something to discuss, but it's not convenient here. Why don't you come and sit at my place later?"
"But he can't go." Li Changfeng pointed at Cao Li.
Jiang Wuji frowned.
The reason why I brought Cao Li here at night was because I trusted Cao Li. From the fact that only Cao Li was willing to come out to help him out last night, it can be seen that Cao Li is a trustworthy person.
If the fever relapses and I return to my original world, having Cao Li by my side will be of some use.
If you are alone...
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Wuji agreed.
Even if the fever relapses, there will be a buffering time. If it is not possible, then you can think of a solution.
"Cao Li, you should go back first. If Xiaoyu comes to see me, just say that I am discussing tonight's affairs with Mr. Fengtiansi. There will be no danger." Jiang Wuji said.
Cao Li was a little worried, but he really couldn't speak in front of Fengtian Si, so he gritted his teeth, knelt down in front of Li Changfeng with a bang, and kowtowed several times.
"Please, Mr. Li, please give my lord his innocence!"
Li Changfeng waved his hand, "Okay, let's go, but don't say these words again after you get out."
Not long after Cao Li left, people from the Yamen arrived.
The body of Chief Qiu was taken away by people from the Yamen, and according to Li Changfeng's request, several warriors were left behind to guard Yingxue Xiaoge.
Then Jiang Wuji followed Li Changfeng and Zhu Yao to an inconspicuous inn.
Entering the guest room, Zhu Yao took out a piece of yellow paper with obscure runes on it from her small bag and stuck it on the door.
"This is a talisman drawn by an adult in the department. Whatever happens in this room next, the outside world cannot know." Li Changfeng explained.
Jiang Wuji did not dwell too much on this issue, but asked straight to the point: "So what do you want from me?"
"No hurry, sit down and have a sip of tea first." Li Changfeng said with a smile.
Jiang Wuji: "If you're not thirsty, let's talk first."
"Oh, why are you so rude? You're so annoying!" Zhu Yao, who was only 1.6 meters tall, said angrily, and the bells on her ankles made pleasant crisp sounds as she walked.
Jiang Wuji said expressionlessly: "I just don't like wasting time."
"Oops?" Zhu Yao's eyes widened and she put her hand into her little cloth bag to pull out something.
"Okay, Zhu Yao." Li Changfeng shouted to stop.
An angry Zhu Yao stamped her feet: "What a nuisance!"
Li Changfeng rolled his eyes, then looked at Jiang Wuji and said: "Then I'll make a long story short. Last night we passed what you said back to the department. There is an adult in the department who is interested in you and asked me to take care of you.
you."
Jiang Wuji: "You want me to join Fengtiansi?"
Li Changfeng smiled and said: "Joining Fengtiansi is not that simple."
Jiang Wuji: "That's good."
Li Changfeng: "?"
Zhu Yao: "Oh!"
Jiang Wuji indeed had no intention of joining Fengtiansi, and after what happened these two nights, he had no good impression of Dali at all.
So Jiang Wuji completely ignored the wonderful expressions of the two people and asked: "Let's talk about business."
Li Changfeng put away his shocked expression and nodded: "Okay, let's talk about business. What do you think of tonight's events?"
Too many things happened tonight, which gave Jiang Wuji some indigestion.
After sorting out his thoughts, Jiang Wuji said: "Liu Yingxue invited me to come to Yingxue's Pavilion tonight for a talk."
"She was there last night when I was drunk and talking nonsense. It is not uncommon for a woman to fall in love with a poor and ambitious scholar, but Liu Yingxue is definitely not such a woman. Her motives are still unclear."
"That's why you have to save her tonight." Li Changfeng said.
Jiang Wuji nodded and said, "If Liu Yingxue really knows something, she probably won't survive tonight."
"Don't worry, I have prepared a plan just now. Unless those old immortals from Tiandao Temple take action, no one can hurt Liu Yingxue." Zhu Yao patted her magnanimous chest and said,
"I'm awesome" look.
The old immortal in Tiandao Temple? Is she talking about the fifth-grade Qingxuanzi who left his body, or that Wuwei Zhenren?
Jiang Wuji cupped his hands and said, "I wish you good luck, girl. I admire you."
"Hmph~" Zhu Yao put her hands on her hips.
Looking away, Jiang Wuji briefly recounted what happened to him when he met Chief Qiu in the morning, and then continued: "In my opinion, tonight is a trap."
"The murderer knows that Mr. Qiu is determined to not give up. As long as others go to Yingxue Pavilion, he will definitely go too."
"Whether it's killing someone to silence him or killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, from the moment he walked into Yingxue's Pavilion, he was destined not to survive tonight."
Li Changfeng nodded with satisfaction, "Your analysis is very reasonable. We also know what happened. Zhang Ming is a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Qiu Weiliang died under the poisonous fire tonight. Everyone is terrified, but he is the only one who stands
He came out and said it was God's punishment, and even dared to speak against me."
"I guess he already knew what happened tonight, and what he said was already discussed with the murderer."
Li Changfeng glanced at Jiang Wuji and continued: "This matter must have something to do with the county guard, but everything must be based on evidence, and now we still have to find the murderer first."
"Then I'll wait for your news." Jiang Wuji said.
"No no no."
Li Changfeng shook his head and said, "There is one thing you may not have considered."
"What's the matter?" Jiang Wuji asked.
Li Changfeng: "Do you still remember what I said last night? The purpose of Zhu Yao and I coming to Leping County."
"Finding the source of the plague?"
"Yes."
"How are these two things related?"
Li Changfeng took a sip of tea leisurely, and then said with a smile: "According to the clues collected by the department, the Leping epidemic was deliberately caused by a demon."
"If we want to completely solve this pandemic, we must find the source of the plague!"
"Since it is man-made, the people behind the scenes will naturally find ways to protect themselves."
"Although Fengtiansi does not participate in the affairs of the government, the official of the imperial court died mysteriously. Naturally, we cannot stand by and watch."
"But if I investigate Qiu Weiliang's case now, it will definitely delay the plague..."
Jiang Wuji was surprised and said: "Do you mean Qiu Weiliang's death was to hold you back?!"
"This is a conspiracy, killing two birds with one stone." Li Changfeng said.
Jiang Wuji frowned deeply.
The plague is man-made, and only by finding the source of the plague can it be cured.
Qiu Weiliang died for the sake of 300,000 people...
Li Changfeng's voice sounded again, "If I read correctly, your sister is also suffering from the miasma, right?"
"I can restore Qiu Weiliang's innocence, cure my sister's illness, and restore peace to Leping County! But first, you have to help."
"The county governor can't believe it now, but you can ask people from Tiandao Temple for help." Jiang Wuji said.
"Tiandao Temple? I can't trust people from Tiandao Temple." Li Changfeng said.
Jiang Wuji: "Then why are you looking for me?"
Li Changfeng: "I told you, there is an adult in the department who asked me to take care of you. Although you are not a man of heaven, if you help me investigate the case and find the real culprit, the department will naturally benefit from you."
"what do you want to do?"
"Don't worry, I won't force you to do anything. After all, maybe we will become colleagues in the future?"
Li Changfeng rolled his neck and continued.
"Qiu Weiliang's death was related to the county governor, but no one from the county governor's office showed up tonight."
"Now that people are dead, if the adults in various counties have evil intentions in their hearts, they will definitely leave Lecheng early tomorrow morning."
"How about leaving Zhang Ming to you?"
"Do you want me to intercept Zhang Ming?" Jiang Wuji asked.
Li Changfeng shook his head and said: "Interception is just one of them. I want you to stop Zhang Ming and interrogate him on the spot! If he doesn't tell..."
