The three deacons from the outer hall were taken into Yangzhou by Wu Sheng and moved into the school building. To show respect, Wu Sheng also vacated his bedroom for Huang Yue, who was leading the team - it was actually the hall where Qingshu lived.
Wu Sheng himself has never lived there.
Wu Sheng focused his main attention on Huang Yue. Although Huang Yue was Jianwu's man, he and Huang Yue had never met. From this point of view, it was still possible to ease the relationship, at least without openly falling out.
He ignored Qing Shu at all and regarded Qing Shu simply as Huang Yue's follower. He laughed off everything Qing Shu said. Any request Qing Shu made, he looked at Huang Yue first and Huang Yue nodded before taking action.
Satisfied. He and Qingshu had publicly broken up. They were enemies. No matter how well they were entertained, they would not appreciate it. There was no need to be respectful.
As for the king's bag, Wu Sheng knew from the last time when he came to Yangzhou with Yan Boqiao to investigate Wei Shumang's case that he hated and feared him, so he paid a private visit at night and threatened him.
, the effect seems to be quite good. When everyone communicates together, this guy rarely speaks and dare not say a single word. He cannot stop himself from speaking ill of himself behind his back. As long as he does not make things difficult when asked in person, this is enough.
Great, it will be much easier to answer questions.
During the formal conversation, Wu Sheng responded like this.
"Demon cultivators appear outside the city, not only in Xinzheng, but also in Yangzhou. I heard that they were also found in Gulong Mountain in Yingdu. When I received the report from the villagers in the mountains, I went to check, but unfortunately I only found some
There were no clues, but the real body of the demon cultivator was not seen. When Sun heard that the demon cultivator had appeared in Yingdu, he specifically discussed the matter with Xue Xingying, and the two parties made an agreement..."
Qingshu interrupted: "Sun Wu, we are asking about Suicheng Academy Fei Longzi and Meng Jin. Don't ramble on."
Wu Sheng ignored him and continued to answer in his own direction: "...We agreed that if another demon cultivator appears, the two sides will immediately communicate with each other to form a linkage between the north and the south. Later, Sui Xingxing also joined in, and then Zhao Xingxing,
Cai Zhongxing, and Wan Zhongxing of Shouchun. We are going to open a big net in Chu State, trap this demon cultivator in the net, and wait for him to show up. Of course, we are not actually sure that the demon cultivators appearing in various places are the same person.
Because we don’t have many clues…”
Qingshu scolded again: "Back to the previous question, you are talking about the two missing people from Suicheng Academy. Are you trying to hide something through the clouds and fog?"
Wu Sheng spread his hands and asked Huang Yue: "Deacon Huang, I wonder if you came to Yangzhou to investigate my illegal activities, or to ask me about my travels? Qingshu's attitude made me at a loss. I didn't know that I had committed a crime.
What's wrong?"
Huang Yue said with a smile: "Deacon Qing is a little impatient. He has good intentions. He wants to find out the whole story as soon as possible so that he can report it to the great ministers and ask Sun Xingxing to bear with him."
Wu Sheng nodded: "Okay, let me continue. In order to better capture the demon cultivators, we have sent capable personnel from several schools to investigate this matter. Here in Yangzhou are the Ying brothers, and over there in Suicheng
Fei Longzi and Meng Jin are gone. By the way, the Ying brothers will report the relevant situation to Deacon Huang in person, and ask Deacon Huang to move to Xiaodongshan when the time comes."
Huang Yue nodded and said, "You really have to ask... Sun Xingxing went on."
Wu Sheng said: "I don't know if it was because I sensed danger. After a period of time, I didn't hear any news about demon cultivators appearing in the cities of Chu State. I thought that the demon cultivators had gone away, but unexpectedly they appeared again.
I came to Xinzheng. I was informed of this news by a letter from my companion. He said that he was going to send someone to check it out, and the person he sent there was Fei Longzi."
Huang Yue asked: "Can I take a look at the letter that comes with me?"
Wu Sheng immediately asked Zhong Liying to go to the inner stall to get it for Huang Yue and others to check. Not only this letter, but also the previous correspondence about setting up a net to capture the demon cultivator was also taken out.
While they were reading the letter, Wu Sheng continued: "I have also heard about what happened at the Xinzheng Mass Graves. I can't tell whether it was Fei Longzi who damaged the Xinzheng Academy or whether it was Fei Longzi who damaged the Xinzheng Academy.
"
Qingshu sneered again and again: "Collusion!"
Wu Sheng shook his head and said: "Qingshu, if you always have this attitude when doing things and fail to uphold the public spirit, you will inevitably fall into even bigger troubles in the future."
Qing Shu said: "You will know who will make a big mistake later. In short, anyone with a discerning eye can see the tricks you use to fool people."
Wu Sheng said calmly: "If you want to frame someone up, you have to weigh how much you have. Sun is based in Yangzhou based on his ability to investigate and solve major cases, not because someone above him is doing anything wrong. In this regard,
, you are too far behind Deacon Huang. Go back and learn about Deacon Huang’s deeds yourself and see why Deacon Huang can serve the public. This is the duty of a human being to work hard. The great followers put you in the outer hall of deacons.
, I’m not here to show off your authority, but to act impartially, don’t forget your duty.”
At that moment, Qingshu threw up his sleeves and walked away. Huang Yue asked Wang Nang to chase the person while he stayed to question Wu Sheng.
Wu Sheng remained calm and continued to analyze: "What happened later evolved into the current situation. Meng Jin was sent to pick up Fei Longzi, but both of them disappeared. To be honest, after Sun heard the news,
I thought it was Peng Xingxing who had done something cruel, haha."
Huang Yue shook his head and said: "Why are you so suspicious? I heard from Peng Xingxing that you went to Xinzheng specifically for Sui Yue's matter and wanted to intercede for Sui Yue?"
Wu Sheng corrected: "It's not about interceding. I thought Suiyue was not at fault in this matter. Even two of his capable disciples disappeared. Regardless of the result, at least they were meritorious. How can we intercede? Sun went to Xinzheng just because he wanted to
To eliminate the misunderstanding between the two parties, we are all members of the academy. If there is a quarrel among ourselves, wouldn't it be a joke for outsiders to laugh at? It is best to persuade Peng Li to put aside his prejudices and work together to handle the case, which will be a great benefit."
"Alas..." He sighed heavily: "Unexpectedly, Peng Xingying doesn't like to share the credit with others, and prefers to enjoy the credit alone, which makes people look down on him. But it's hard to say anything about him. After all, everyone has his own ambitions.
So demanding."
Huang Yue asked: "Let's take a look at Sun Xingxing. Is there any other testimony he can provide? Besides the Ying brothers, who else can testify?"
Wu Sheng said: "This is just a small case of a demon cultivator. Yangzhou has not arranged for more people to participate. Of course, I still hope to complete this investigation as soon as possible and give a solution that everyone is convinced of. Our academy has its own
There is no need to be too internally consumed, and we should seize the time to track down the whereabouts of the two monks from the school - to be honest, I am very, very worried about them, they are both good guys!"
