After returning to the kitchen and working for most of an hour, and having breakfast in the dining hall, Lin Ansheng left the kitchen and went to the outer library.
This month, eleven new inner disciples and deacons' notes were added. Lin Ansheng stayed there for an hour and a half, flipped through four books, and when the time was almost up, he returned to the Zong's kitchen to prepare lunch.
As we approached the entrance of the dining hall, we were blocked by two young men.
One of the horse-faced young men said: "Are you Lin Ansheng?"
Lin Ansheng nodded: "It's me, do the two senior brothers have something to do with me?"
"I am a disciple of the Discipline Hall, and the elder wants to ask you for questions."
The horse-faced young man took out a red wooden sign, which was the warrant of the deacon of the Discipline Hall.
The Discipline Hall is equivalent to the sect's private court, and being called to the Discipline Hall will never do anything good.
Lin Ansheng suddenly became alert: "For what?"
Behind them, a young man was leaning in a chair. From his haggard expression, it was easy to tell that he was seriously ill, or that he was seriously injured.
Qin Feng didn't see him after she woke up last night. After listening to Shi Yurou's explanation, it was easy for her to think that he had abandoned them and escaped from danger. In a sense, she was of the same nature as Gu Changning.
On the way here, Lin Ansheng thought about it, and there were only three possible questions from the Discipline Hall. The first was about the Lin family, the second was about the small pot dishes, and the third was about what happened last night.
"You'll know when you get there." The horse-faced young man said without a smile and looked businesslike.
"So, you were not with these senior brothers and sisters yesterday?"
However, the different reactions of the four people, especially Shi Yurou's solemn but not uneasy and anxious expression, made Lin Ansheng sigh in relief. He must have thought wrong.
"Elder Ji, Lin Ansheng is here." The horse-faced young man reported back to the elder, and then stood on the side of the people in the Discipline Hall.
Only Qin Qianqian's shaking head means that I have no idea what it means.
"Disciple understands."
The horse-faced young man frowned and glanced at him, seemingly dissatisfied with his attitude, but he didn't say anything and urged Lin Ansheng: "Let's go."
Lin Ansheng thought for a while and said: "Please wait a moment, I have to go and ask for leave from the manager first."
Gu Changning took the initiative to avoid his gaze. Qin Feng glared at him. Shi Yurou and Qin Qianqian also looked at him. In the current situation, they naturally couldn't speak, but they all shook their heads slightly, obviously hinting at something.
.
"Did you go down the mountain to Wuyi with these senior brothers and sisters yesterday?"
On the opposite right side stood about a dozen men and women, all with heavy expressions and stern looks.
The young man with a haggard face and who looked seriously injured was one of Ma Sen's group, that is, a disciple of Xuanzong. The dozen or so men and women were all members of Xuanzong in all likelihood. There were exactly three corpses on the ground.
Could it be that they are the three coachmen, who came out of the four doors just as a pretense, but are actually Xuanzong's people.
"It has nothing to do with you, let's go." The horse-faced young man stretched out his hand and made an urging gesture.
Elder Ji paused for a moment and then said: "I called you here because I have some things to verify with you. Don't be nervous. I just want to talk about it."
Within a moment of burning incense, Lin Ansheng arrived at the Discipline Hall. The majestic main hall was filled with a heavy and depressing atmosphere.
Shi Yurou was hinting to him that she didn't say anything about what he asked to keep secret.
There were three other people standing further away, as if they were just watching from the sidelines, but the black and gray uniforms they wore and the single swords they wore on their waists made their identities as police officers obvious.
"It's not necessary. Let's go now. If you wait any longer, don't blame me for being rude."
"I went to Wuyi yesterday, but not with Senior Brother Gu and the others, but with Senior Brother Xu Le early in the morning."
"What to do?"
In just a moment, Lin Ansheng's mind was filled with a series of associations, and he couldn't help but secretly take a breath of cold air, and his heart was palpitating.
The local government can't control the practice sects. These three people must be from the Thirteenth Department that specializes in monitoring the practice world in Mo country.
From this, Lin Ansheng also guessed his identity, a disciple of Xuanzong.
Gu Changning felt guilty for leaving the four of them behind and running for his life last night.
He killed three Xuanzong disciples, and Xuanzong's people found clues overnight and spliced the bones together. They came to investigate and alarmed the people of the Thirteenth Division.
The young man wearing a long gown bowed to the dozen middle-aged men opposite, headed by men and women, nodded, and then merged into them.
If this is the case, this "lawsuit" will be very difficult to fight. The cause and process must be that both sides insist on their own opinions, but the result is that they are alive and well, while Xuanzong died three people.
Subconsciously, he looked at Gu Changning and the other four.
The young man who had never gnawed on his collared gown opened his mouth to give an ultimatum, and stared at Lin Ansheng with warning eyes, as if the latter would take action if he hesitated even a little bit.
On the left stood the people from the Discipline Hall. The elder headed by him was wearing a dark robe and had a serious face, giving people a solemn feeling.
Seeing the current scene, Lin Ansheng instantly made a judgment, and it turned out to be the third most likely one.
This young man was one of Ma Sen's group who raised prices with Gu Changning at the auction yesterday.
"No, we met at the alchemy. Senior Brother Gu and the others were going to the auction house, so Senior Brother Xu Le and I went with them."
"Lin Ansheng." Elder Ji looked at Lin Ansheng a few times and called his name.
"Disciple is here." Lin Ansheng quickly looked over and bowed politely.
In addition, Gu Changning, Shi Yurou, and Qin Qianqian's sister and brother were also there, all with solemn expressions, and a hint of indignation in their solemnity.
Lin Ansheng looked at another young man wearing a cross-collar gown: "Is this senior brother also a disciple of the Discipline Hall?"
With the order from the deacon of the Discipline Hall, Lin Ansheng couldn't help but go. Seeing that the two people's patience was almost at its limit, they stopped talking and nodded silently.
"The inner sect's general election is coming soon, and senior brother Xu Le wants to refine a powerful pill."
If Gu Changning avoided his gaze, Qin Feng glared at him, and Shi Yurou shook his head, Lin Ansheng could guess.
Three corpses covered with white cloths lay on the ground.
Elder Ji asked a question, and Lin Ansheng answered, recounting the whole day's experience yesterday.
The four of them, Gu Changning, must have been interrogated. Therefore, he did not hide anything and everything was the truth.
Of course, this truth is superficial. After discovering that the refining pharmacy was selling shoddy products, shopkeeper Liu paid three to one to recycle the defective products. This was a secret that only he knew, and he would definitely not reveal it.
As for the danger on the way back to the sect in the carriage, Lin Ansheng was apparently the weakest in martial arts among them, so of course he was knocked unconscious first and had no idea what happened next.
