34The key to solving the case is the second prince
Cheng Wuji pursed his lips and said nothing.
When he was in the same class, Pei Shun persuaded him nicely: "If you tell me, I can spare your life."
Cheng Wuji's eyes flickered twice and he looked at him suspiciously, "Can Senior Brother Pei be the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance?"
Pei Shun pointed at Xiao Yi, "He can."
Cheng Wuji had dealt with Xiao Yi before, so he naturally knew his identity, and immediately stared at him after hearing this.
Xiao Yi was silent for a while, "Okay, the Wulin Alliance can spare your life."
Cheng Wuji still hesitated, "Can you really let me go?"
Xiao Yi said: "The Wulin Alliance can really let you go."
Cheng Wuji hesitated for a while and then said, "Well, even if I don't tell you, you can always find out. It's better to use this to find a way out."
Pei Shun nodded, "Go ahead."
Cheng Wuji sighed, "He said he is His Highness the Second Prince."
The three of them were silent, only Yun Zhi was still concerned about the case.
"So, the second prince gave the Pluto Gu to you?" Yunzhi deliberately took out the Pluto Gu first, wanting to see the man's reaction.
"Yes." Cheng Wuji nodded first, and then looked at her in surprise, as if he had just reacted, "You, what did you say? Pluto Gu? What Pluto Gu? You mean..."
His face turned three points paler to the naked eye, and he stared in disbelief, "The second prince clearly said that it was just an ordinary aphrodisiac Gu. He just wanted to get Junior Sister...how...how could it be the Pluto Gu?"
The Pluto Gu was Ayu's guess, and had not been confirmed before, but Cheng Wuji's reaction now undoubtedly showed that he had indeed poisoned Zheng Ying.
Yun Zhi hurriedly asked: "When did you put the poison on her?"
Cheng Wuji's voice trembled: "When we came back from swimming on the river, when we got off the boat... the second prince said that it would take half an hour for the aphrodisiac to take effect. We planned to stay in the private room of Wei Xian Building..."
Sure enough, everything Xiao Yi guessed was right.
Yun Zhi suppressed his anger and continued to ask: "Then you were blamed on Qingyi Villa. Was it he who taught you?"
Cheng Wuji nodded blankly, "He said that as long as he insists that he is a disciple of Qingyi Villa, no one will doubt me!"
Gamblers really have no brains.
Yun Zhi laughed angrily again, "Young Master Cheng, I'm curious how much the second prince gave you to make you trust him so much?"
"Three, three hundred taels of silver." Cheng Wuji answered with a guilty conscience.
After this experience of purchasing and paying, Yun Zhi almost knew the value of three hundred taels of silver. Hearing this, he couldn't help gritting his teeth, "Just for three hundred taels?"
He endured it again and again, but in the end he couldn't hold it back anymore. He kicked him and began to curse indiscriminately: "Don't you, Lingguo, believe in equality? Don't women also have their own rights? Why do your sect still allow men to buy and sell? Women? What nonsense about equality? Are you deceiving yourself and others?"
Pei Shun's expression changed and he tried to explain: "No..."
Yun Zhi didn't want to hear it at all. She was so angry that her voice began to tremble, "Cheng Wuji, do you know...do you know how much Zheng Ying likes you."
Cheng Wuji nodded with a dejected face, "I know."
This time, even Ayu couldn't help it anymore, "I knew you could still do this!"
Cheng Wuji suddenly shouted: "What can I do? I owe someone money! What can I do! If I don't pay, they will chop off my hands! I, I rely on these hands to practice medicine, I can't Let someone chop off your hands!"
Do some crazy medicine!
Yun Zhi rolled her eyes, she was too lazy to scold him.
Do gamblers have a heart? Impossible.
It's a pity that Zheng Ying really paid by mistake.
Seeing that she was shaking with anger, Xiao Yi raised his hand to pat her shoulder to calm her down. However, as soon as his hand touched her, it was dodged away. He was stunned for a moment, and his eyes quickly turned cold.
Yun Zhi jumped to A Yu's side and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had no interest in getting involved in their triangular drama. Before, she only thought that everyone was a pure friendship, so she was more casual. Now she found that there was an undercurrent surging in it. Naturally, she wanted to To avoid suspicion.
And Ayu began to interrogate people again: "Cheng Wuji, you are the direct disciple of Senior Medical Doctor of Yaowang Valley. Even if you have never seen Pluto Gu, you shouldn't be unable to recognize the Aphrodisiac Gu, right?"
Cheng Wuji insisted: "That's the aphrodisiac Gu. I've seen it before. Then, the Pluto Gu has been extinct for many years. How could it be the Pluto Gu?"
Ah Yu said: "But there is no trace of aphrodisiac Gu in Zheng Ying's body..."
Pei Shun suddenly said: "Pluto Gu is not extinct."
Cheng Wuji was stunned for a moment, his whole body almost pressed to the ground, and he couldn't even speak clearly: "Yes, yes, the descendants of the Gu doctor, the Nangong clan, are still there, they are still there." He paused. After a pause, he continued to murmur: "How could it be Pluto Gu..."
When several people saw this, they couldn't help but sigh. They had all the questions they could ask, so they first sent someone to put him in the government prison, and then sent someone to call other people in Yaowang Valley to come for a hearing.
Although Cheng Wuji did not elaborate, everyone already understood what probably happened to Zheng Ying before her death.
Cheng Wuji, a disciple of Yaowang Valley, was addicted to gambling and owed numerous gambling debts. At this moment, he met the second prince of Ling Kingdom. It happened that the second prince claimed to be in love with Zheng Ying, so Cheng Wuji became addicted to gambling and simply sold his junior sister. Unexpectedly, the aphrodisiac Gu turned into the Pluto Gu, and Zheng Ying lost her life because of it.
But if we want to really solve the case, there is still a very critical issue that has not been solved.
Why did the second prince of Ling Kingdom only want to harm Zheng Ying? Even if the case is likely to involve the Three Kingdoms Court as Xiao Yi speculated, why is it Zheng Ying? Even if you kill Cheng Wuji, you can still blame Qingyi Villa, which will cause chaos in the Wulin Alliance.
What's more, according to Ayu's description, Pluto Gu originated from the Yan Kingdom, so how did the second prince of the Ling Kingdom obtain it?
Yun Zhi thought for a long time and finally came to the conclusion: "It seems that only the second prince can explain all this."
Ayu whispered: "Maybe he can't explain it..."
"Then we have to find him and ask him clearly!" Yun Zhi analyzed very seriously: "If the Pluto Gu was not given by the second prince, he should take the initiative to clear his suspicions! If it wasn't for him , that person who suddenly lost his heart, doesn’t he want to find out the truth more than anyone else? But so far, we have not seen the second prince of Ling Kingdom, which means that it is most likely him. Come on!"
Pei Shun looked unnatural, "Maybe there is a misunderstanding."
"If there is a misunderstanding, let's make it clear!" Yun Zhi said, and then confirmed to them: "The emperor broke the law and the common people are guilty, so the Wulin Alliance can arrest the second prince, right?"
Ayu and Peishun didn't say anything. Xiao Yi replied: "Okay, let alone the prince, the emperor is not incompetent."
How could the Wulin Alliance have such great power?
Yunzhi showed an incredulous expression, "Are you kidding me?"
Xiao Yi's tone did not fluctuate at all, "No, as long as you feel you want to arrest me, you can arrest me."
Yunzhi immediately said: "Then go and capture the second prince first!"
"Don't listen to him, he's just teasing you!" Ayu smiled and explained: "The Wulin Alliance only handles martial arts affairs. Those who have the power to arrest princes and emperors are the criminal prosecutors of various countries."
Yun Zhi said, "What should we do now? Do you know anyone from the Lingguo Criminal Investigation Department?"
Pei Shun sighed softly, "Don't worry, little Zhi'er. I'll let Feihu go check and find out who Daling sent here on the day of the Sword Appreciation Ceremony. Everything now is just what Junior Brother Cheng said, and there are still other things that need to be done." Only human and physical evidence can make the case final.”
Only then did Yun Zhi realize that he was a little anxious.
Of course, she really wanted to end the case immediately so that she and Ayu could start their journey to Yan Kingdom again.
Thinking of this, Yun Zhi suddenly remembered his purpose of coming to Ming'an City to find Xiao Yi. He had been derailed by Lu Yunsheng before and almost forgot about it.
She came to him to borrow "Records of Jianghu in Zhongzhou".
"Well..." Yunzhi said hesitantly, "Now, is there nothing that needs my help for the time being?"
Pei Shun nodded, "My side is gone. Where is Brother Xiao's side?"
"No more." Xiao Yi's voice was deep.
Yun Zhi coughed guiltily, "Then Xiao Yi...can I ask you a favor?"
Xiao Yi was startled for a moment, then stood up straight unconsciously. When he spoke, his voice became clearer, "Okay."
"Maybe..." Pei Shun suddenly interrupted, "I can help you too, and I won't get angry suddenly."
Yun Zhi smiled and said, "Thank you Mr. Pei, but you can't do this much. Only Xiao Yi can help. I'll come back to you next time!"
Thinking that if he told this matter in public, he might not be able to block their inquiries, so he gave Xiao Yi another look and said, "Go out and tell me!"
After saying that, he smiled apologetically at Ayu, turned around and went outside the hall first.
Ayu looked confused.
Xiao Yi's lips curved with pride, and he sighed in a long voice, "Brother Pei, look, there's nothing you can do..." He repeated Yun Zhi's words again and again, "Only, Yes, Xiao Yi, can, help."
Pei Shun rolled his eyes at him and was too lazy to talk to him.
When he walked out briskly, Ayu snorted: "What's there to show off!"
Seeing Xiao Yi come out, Yun Zhi glanced back into the hall. When he saw A Yu's angry face, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Quickly get to the point, "Xiao Yi, can I ask you to borrow a few copies of "Zhongzhou Rivers and Lakes"?"
I would have put it back after I finished speaking, Yunzhi thought.
Xiao Yi did not answer the question. Instead, he followed her gaze and glanced into the hall, frowning: "Lu Yunzhi, did you misunderstand something?"
He rarely called her by her first name like this. Yun Zhi couldn't help but get excited, "Huh?"
Xiao Yi was very direct, "I have no emotional relationship with Ayu. Don't look at me like that in the future, and don't avoid me because of this."
Being exposed in front of the person involved, Yun Zhi wished he could find a crack in the ground to get in, and defended in a low voice: "I've seen you guys tugging at each other..."
Xiao Yi looked at the little girl who suddenly became coquettish in front of him, smiled and explained: "Ayu did pull me just now, but she just reminded me... um... to take care of Brother Pei's feelings. ...I have nothing to do with her."
The words he just said to Cheng Wuji included the entire Medicine King Valley, which was indeed a bit offensive to Pei Shun. It turned out that Ayu was still thinking about Pei Shun.
Yun Zhioh sighed and immediately admitted his mistake, "Okay, that was indeed my misunderstanding. I'm sorry."
The way she lowered her head and spoke softly was like a little kitten, cute and innocent. Xiao Yi couldn't help but raise his hand. Just when he was about to touch her hair, he closed his fingers slightly and pulled them back in time.
He put his hands in his sleeves and coughed lightly, "It doesn't matter, I shouldn't get too close to her."
After a pause, he raised his hand to touch the mask again, his voice a little unnatural, "Also...Brother Pei threw that cup lid, which is actually nothing to praise, and he is a very easy to misunderstand. You'd better not praise him too much."
Yunzhi was stunned for a moment, "Ah? Is it true or false?"
It turns out that Pei Shun's sudden enthusiasm was a misunderstanding?
Men are really good at being sentimental.
Xiao Yi hummed and said in a magnanimous voice, "When have I ever lied to you?"
"Yes." Yun Zhi nodded, but suddenly said suspiciously: "Then I also praised you, wouldn't you misunderstand me?"
Xiao Yi's eyes were firm, "Of course not."
"It's okay, it's okay." Yunzhi breathed a sigh of relief, but then he was a little surprised, "I didn't expect you to be so... normal."
"Normal...?" Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow, "Are you praising me?"
Yun Zhi smiled, "That's right."
After a moment of silence, she brought the topic back, "That "Zhongzhou Rivers and Lakes"..."
Xiao Yi was very happy, "Of course."
Before Yun Zhi could thank him, he heard him change the topic and said: "But... although you and I have agreed not to ask each other's secrets, this "Jiang Hu Lu" belongs to the Wulin Alliance after all, so I still have to Ask me, what do you want to use it for?"
Yun Zhi had no intention of hiding it from him, so he answered truthfully: "Looking for someone."
Xiao Yi said oh, nodded slightly, and did not continue to ask.
Yun Zhi suddenly thought of something, and asked again: "By the way, you have been in the Wulin League since you were a child, have you ever heard of 'A Xuan'? He seems to have won the first place in the Sword Appreciation Competition."
"Axuan..." Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, "Are you talking about Situ Wuxuan? The one on Seven Star Island?"
