Chapter 869: Help with a dog
Xiaohong was also angry and her eyes were red in anger. She bit her lip and said, "That's right, you always say you want to find out, but you are suspicious about this for no reason. It's too unreasonable!"
Luo Xiaoyu told Xiaohong not to say anything nonsense. Since she was wronged, then complain to the Taoist priests Qingfeng and Mingyue now.
This time Xiaohong did not object anymore, but nodded.
Luo Xiaoyu pursed her lips tightly, her eyes full of stubbornness and grievance. She pulled Xiaohong's hand and turned around and was about to leave.
Just as I walked a few steps, I suddenly heard a loud sound of footsteps behind me.
When a Taoist priest saw Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong, he immediately shouted loudly: "Stop! Where do you two want to go?"
Luo Xiaoyu met the other party's gaze without fear and said loudly: "We are going to meet Taoist Qingfeng and Mingyue, make the matter clear and give us a clean innocence!"
The Taoist sneered and said, "Just because you want to see two Taoist priests too? Don't be foolish. Before the matter is clear, don't think about going anywhere!"
Xiaohong's body trembled slightly. She approached Luo Xiaoyu uneasy and whispered: "Brother Xiaoyu, what should I do? They seem to not let us go."
Luo Xiaoyu raised his voice and said, "Why do you limit our freedom? We were obviously wronged, but you are here to stop us. Is there any justice here?"
At this moment, Guanglingzi walked in, glanced at the crowd at the scene, and asked, "What happened?"
After understanding the situation, he said seriously: "Although Luo Xiaoyu and the others are suspicious, they should not be rude to them without conclusive evidence."
At the same time, he glared at the Taoist priests fiercely, secretly annoyed, thinking, would they have to make a big deal?
Guanglingzi's words were loud and silent, instantly calming everyone present.
The Taoist priests who were still aggressive just now all lowered their heads slightly under Guang Lingzi's gaze, and did not dare to say more.
Luo Xiaoyu's grievances surged like a tide, her eyes flushed, and she said, "Senior Guanglingzi, Xiaohong and I have been separated from each other, and for some reason they were suddenly detained as such a crime. We just want to find out the real murderer and give us a clean innocence. We hope that our seniors can observe clearly."
After saying that, he bowed deeply to Guanglingzi.
Xiaohong also said, "Senior, we are really wronged."
Guanglingzi nodded with a serious expression, glanced across everyone's faces, and then said loudly: "Since this incident has happened, this sect will definitely investigate it thoroughly. Before this, no one is allowed to speculate at will and make things difficult for Miss Luo and Xiaohong."
After saying that, he looked at the Taoist priests who were the first to attack and said in a more emphasis: "If anyone causes trouble indiscriminately, don't blame me for dealing with it according to the rules!"
Just as everyone was talking, a Taoist boy walked in quickly.
He was wearing a neat Taoist robe, his little face turned slightly red because he was rushing to the road, and fine beads of sweat were hanging on his forehead.
After walking in, he first bowed to Guanglingzi and other elders in a regular manner, then straightened his body and said loudly: "Dear seniors, fellow disciples, Master Qingfeng and Master Mingyue have an order to let everyone gather in the hall after dinner, and Luo Xiaoyu and Miss Xiaohong also went together."
Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong were stunned when they heard their names.
A hint of panic flashed in Xiaohong's eyes, and she subconsciously grabbed Luo Xiaoyu's hand, her voice trembling with a hint of trembling.
"Xiaoyu, what should I do? They suddenly asked us to go to the main hall, will it be..."
Luo Xiaoyu bit her lower lip and comforted her with firm eyes: "Don't panic, Xiaohong. We did nothing wrong, don't be afraid. You will know what they are going to do when you go."
Having said that, he felt a little uneasy, not knowing what would be waiting for them.
The Taoist priests around also stopped arguing, with various complex expressions on their faces, some thoughtful, while others were full of confusion.
Guanglingzi frowned slightly and stepped forward to ask the Taoist boy: "Do you know what the two Taoist priests have been calling everyone?"
The little Taoist boy shook his head and replied respectfully: "Disciple doesn't know. The two Taoist priests only told me to convey the instructions as soon as possible and let everyone gather in the hall on time."
Guanglingzi nodded and waved his hand to let the Taoist boy retreat.
Then, he looked at Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong and said in a calm tone: "Don't worry, two, please go to the hall with everyone first. I believe the two Taoist priests will give you an explanation."
Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong looked at each other, took a deep breath, and nodded.
Then, everyone dispersed and prepared to go to the main hall.
In the hall, the atmosphere was particularly solemn. Taoist Qingfeng stood in front, slowly swept across everyone, and said calmly: "Everyone should find a seat to sit down. Today, we must find the truth. Before that, no one can get up and leave."
When everyone heard this, they all looked for a seat as they said. For a moment, only a slight slutch of clothes was left in the hall, and the occasional low coughing sound remained.
Luo Xiaoyu frowned and couldn't help complaining.
"Master, I am still regarded as the thief who steals things, but I have never done this before. I hope you can open your arms and don't let me waste it here too." His eyes flushed, and he looked aggrieved and unwilling.
Master Qingfeng sighed slightly, with a little helpless look on his face and nodded, "This is also a routine matter. Anyone who is on Kunlun Mountain must come this time. After all, this matter has a great impact. I hope you can understand more. After finding out the truth, you will naturally be cleared."
Luo Xiaoyu bit her lip. Although she was reluctant, she knew that it would be useless to say more at this moment, so she could only hold Xiaohong's hand and find a seat in the corner to sit down.
Xiaohong comforted in a low voice: "Brother Xiaoyu, Taoist priest said that he would find out the truth, so let's wait for a while."
Luo Xiaoyu nodded slightly, but there was still a hint of stubbornness and resentment in his eyes. He stared at the front, hoping that the so-called investigation would be over soon and that he would be fair.
At this time, Taoist Master Mingyue coughed lightly and slowly said, "Let's start, everyone think about it carefully. When the incident happened, did you see any strange people or strange things? Let's tell the truth."
After saying that, he looked at everyone with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to find some clues from their expressions.
Just half an hour ago, Qingfeng and Mingyue were discussing this difficult case in a quiet side hall.
Mingyue frowned slightly, as if she was trapped in memories, and slowly spoke: "When I was alone with the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister told a rather novel story. He said that he used a dog to help when he was a case in a certain place, because the dog's nose was extremely sensitive and could smell traces that were difficult for ordinary people to detect."
When Qingfeng heard this, he couldn't help but look surprised, his eyes were full of surprise, and he said, "Is there such a way? I've never heard of this before."
Mingyue nodded slightly and then said, "Yes, I also felt very novel at the time. Now that our case is in a deadlock, it is difficult to find a clue for a while. Why not follow it and try this method and maybe you can gain something."
Qingfeng stroked his beard with his hand, pondered slightly, and then said for a moment: "Well, you might as well give it a try, but I don't know where to find the right dog. Besides, it's still unclear whether this method works."
Mingyue's eyes were filled with a hint of firmness and said, "No matter how many of them are, we don't have a dog specifically used to determine cases in Kunlun Mountain, but it's still OK to find a few hunting dogs with smart and good sense of smell on weekdays. If we can really find some clues based on this, then the case will be solved."
Qingfeng thought about it and felt that there was some reason, so he replied: "Okay, this matter will be based on what you said. You can arrange it and find those hunting dogs as soon as possible so that we can know the truth behind the case as soon as possible."
After the two agreed on this matter, they summoned everyone to the hall and prepared to investigate the case according to this novel method.
At this moment, everyone gathered in the hall, still having no idea about Qingfeng and Mingyue’s thoughts.
Taoist Master Mingyue looked at the people in the hall, cleared his throat and said, "We plan to use a special method to investigate this case today, and I hope you can cooperate."
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, their hearts full of curiosity and confusion, not knowing what this special method was.
Taoist Master Mingyue stood in front of the hall, and with a serious expression, the Prime Minister mentioned that the dog could help people handle the case, and then stated that they would bring the dog to assist in investigating the case.
As soon as he said this, the entire hall seemed to be in a panic. Everyone looked surprised and their eyes were full of disbelief.
"There is such a way to judge a case, which is unheard of." A young disciple couldn't help but mutter, and while speaking, he stretched his neck curiously, as if he wanted to see if the dog had been led here at this moment.
The Taoist priests next to them also exchanged doubtful eyes with each other and whispered: "Is this... reliable? After all, dogs are just beasts. Can they really help us find clues?"
Luo Xiaoyu was also full of surprise. He frowned and looked at Taoist Qingfeng and Mingyue. He thought to himself that these two Taoist priests were dying and seeking medical treatment, but they didn't have to say much at this moment, so they could only wait and see what to do.
Xiaohong held Luo Xiaoyu's clothes tightly and said timidly: "Brother Xiaoyu, this method looks so novel, and I don't know whether it works."
Everyone's discussions came one after another, buzzing in the hall. Everyone was full of curiosity and doubt about this unprecedented way of investigating the case, and their eyes were focused on Taoist Qingfeng and Mingyue, waiting to see how they would act next.
Seeing this, Master Qingfeng raised his hand and pressed it slightly, signaling everyone to be quiet, and said loudly: "Don't make noise. Although this method is novel, it is not impossible to try it out. I hope everyone will wait patiently for the time being. When the dog comes, everything will be clear."
At this moment, Luo Xiaoyu suddenly stood up and shouted: "Dear Taoist priests, although I don't know whether this method is useful or not, I believe in the Prime Minister! Although I have not been in contact with the Prime Minister for a long time, based on my understanding of him, the Prime Minister must be a person with great wisdom. The method he said must be reasonable. I just hope to use this method to find out the truth quickly so that there will always be those illegal people who are wronged here!"
Luo Xiaoyu said, her eyes were as lightning as she glared back at the Taoist priests who had cast unfriendly eyes to him without fear. Her eyes were full of stubbornness and resentment, as if she was silently protesting to them that she was wronged and would never allow them to be so suspicious and malicious.
Everyone was shocked by Luo Xiaoyu's sudden words and tough attitude. For a moment, the hall became much quieter. Those who were originally muttering in a low voice and doubting Luo Xiaoyu also lowered their heads slightly, avoiding his gaze, and not knowing how to respond.
Taoist Master Qingfeng coughed lightly, breaking the brief silence. He looked at Luo Xiaoyu, nodded slightly and said, "Luo Xiaoyu, sit down first. We can understand your mood. Today, this method is to give everyone justice as soon as possible and find out the truth. Don't be impatient, just wait patiently."
Luo Xiaoyu took a deep breath, bowed to Taoist Qingfeng, and then sat down slowly. However, his clenched fists still showed his unwillingness and anxiety. He really longed to wash away the unjust injustice as soon as possible.
Taoist Qingfeng stood up, waved his hands to everyone, and said calmly: "Everyone is here to wait a moment, I will take the dog here. This dog was specially found from the foot of the mountain. I have been in my room for a while before, so that it can get familiar with our environment first."
After saying that, Master Qingfeng turned around and walked quickly outside the hall.
Everyone was full of curiosity and expectation, staring at the entrance of the hall, and whispering to guess what the dog looked like. Can it really help find out the case?
After a while, a slight sound of bells came, and then Taoist Qingfeng slowly walked into the hall with a dog.
The dog was strong, with smooth fur on his body, his eyes were clever and his nose kept smelling the breath around him. It was led by Master Qingfeng with a rope, but it didn't seem panic, but instead felt calm and steady. It was just that looking around, as if he was eager to start looking for clues.
Everyone's eyes were attracted to each other, and everyone calmed down, looking at the dog intently, wanting to see how it would assist in the investigation of the case next.
According to Mingyue's instructions, Master Qingfeng gently patted the head of the dog beside him, then loosened the rope in his hand and whispered: "Go, go to the crowd and smell everyone's smell."
After saying that, he quickly raised the volume and shouted to everyone: "Don't panic, everyone, this dog is just following our arrangements and will not hurt you. I hope you all can cooperate and keep it quiet."
When everyone heard this, although they were still a little nervous, they all tried to calm down. They stood there and did not dare to move, staring at the dog with their eyes tightly.
I saw the dog first turned around a few times, as if he was distinguishing the direction, and then walked slowly towards the crowd with light steps.
Its nose kept shaking, moving around everyone one by one, sniffing the smell emitted from each person. It looked very focused, as if it was really carrying a major mission, and it had to find some key clues based on its keen sense of smell.
Luo Xiaoyu stood in the crowd, looking at the unprecedented investigation scene, and was nervous and expectant, thinking secretly whether this dog could discover something based on the smell to prove his innocence.
Xiaohong subconsciously hid behind Luo Xiaoyu, sweating in her palms, and she didn't dare to take a breath, for fear of disturbing the busy dog.
After a while, the dog suddenly barked wildly in front of a small Taoist boy, and the scream echoed in the hall, which was particularly harsh.
The little Taoist boy was so scared that he shivered all over and his face turned pale. He subconsciously took a few steps back, widened his eyes and shouted at the dog, "Beast, what are your name?"
At this moment, Taoist Master Qingfeng's face darkened, his eyes sharply looked at the little Taoist boy, and asked seriously: "Wuji, was it something you stole? This dog has always been sensitive. If it reacts like this, it must have smelled something strange from you."
The little Taoist boy, who was called Wuji, was panicked when he heard this and waved his hand and explained: "Master, it's unfair! How could I do that? I don't know why this dog was yelling at me. I'm really innocent!" As he said that, his eyes turned red, his face was full of grievances and anxiety. His eyes looked at Master Qingfeng with prayers, hoping that Master would believe him.
When everyone heard this, they were in an uproar, and their eyes were all turned to the Taoist Tong Wuji. Some showed surprise, while others were whispering in a low voice with suspicion.
Luo Xiaoyu was stunned at first, then a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, thinking that his grievances could finally be cleared up? He looked at the little Taoist Tong Wuji, and was also thinking in his heart whether he did this.
Xiaohong pulled Luo Xiaoyu's sleeve and whispered: "Brother Xiaoyu, it seems that this dog is really capable, but this little Taoist boy doesn't look like a person who can steal things, and I don't know what's going on."
Taoist Master Qingfeng frowned, walked a few steps closer to the Taoist Tong Wuji, and continued, "Wuji, don't argue, let's talk about where you were at the time of the incident and what did you do?"
When Wuji heard this, his face turned red with anxiety and said loudly: "Master, it's ridiculous to use this method to investigate the case in itself! How could he conclude that I was a stealer by just a dog barking at me? Not to mention that I have never done such a thing, even my senior brothers around me think this method is really unreliable."
As he said that, he looked at the senior brothers around him, his eyes full of asking for help.
After hearing Wuji's words, the senior brothers looked at each other for a few times, and nodded and agreed.
