This guy Qing Zhe can be considered crazy on his own. Once he is given a chance to perform and a stage to perform, his performance ability is still very strong, otherwise he would not be the leader of that group of mushroom people.
What he said was very clear and easy to understand.
Then some explanations brought people's thoughts directly to his thinking rhythm.
Invisibly, he took control of the discourse, set the pace of discourse, and shifted everyone's attention to him.
"Everyone is more knowledgeable than me. If such similar details are a coincidence once, will it be a coincidence the second time? If the same thing appears twice in a short period of time in different places, then I I have to remind you, is it possible that someone is really behind this matter? And the person behind this matter is probably someone from within our company?"
The picture of Qing Zhe is a poor one.
This time, Lao Ba, who originally didn't want to see him, realized that Qing Zhe was trying to bite Zu Yao's three mushroom men.
It turned out that between Zuyao and Qingzhe, Lao Ba also admired Zuyao and the others more. But Zuyao and these guys have been so close to Aqian recently, as if they are from the Baoshu tribe.
This made Lao Ba very unhappy and felt that these three guys were a little ignorant.
In addition, Qing Zhe's words really helped him clear away the suspicion, so his attitude towards Qing Zhe quickly evolved from initial resistance to appreciation.
"Master Hu, what this guy said makes sense. Judging from the details, the two things are indeed very similar. Although we don't have absolute evidence yet, this can be regarded as a direction of investigation."
As he spoke, Lao Ba encouraged: "Qingzhe, please continue to express your opinion."
Qingzhe was encouraged by Lao Ba, became more energetic, and talked eloquently: "We can use the elimination method. That night in the medicine garden, apart from our two groups of mushroom people, there were only two groups on the mountain led by Lord Liechi. Guard camp. At that time, the guard camp was far away from the wooden house where we lived, so they could obviously rule out suspicion. But last night, Lord Liechi and his personal guards were fighting in the castle, and it was obviously impossible for them to do two things at once. So, what's left? There are only a handful of people who can appear in the Medicine Garden wooden house and this spiritual land at the same time."
When it comes to this matter, I'm afraid everyone knows that Qing Zhe almost names him.
A Qian blinked his eyes, looked at Qing Zhe thoughtfully, and said with a faint smile: "What do you mean? The suspect is on you mushroom people?"
Qing Zhe said hurriedly: "This is just a villain's guess. The specifics will have to be decided by a few big guys."
A Qian smiled lightly and said: "Although I haven't arrived that night, I have heard about you. If I remember correctly, you were more suspected that night, right? And last night, where were you? Is there anyone there? Prove that you have alibi? For the three of them, I can at least prove that they left my tent very late."
Qing Zhe is a smart man. He knows that A Qian's identity is unusual, and he does not dare to quarrel with A Qian.
At that moment, he smiled humbly: "Master Qian, I'm just telling the truth about the situation. The rest depends on the judgment of the bosses. I eat Master Hu's food and receive Master Hu's salary, so I should share the worries for Master Hu."
Seeing that A Qian was deliberately making things difficult for Qing Zhe, Lao Ba quickly said: "Master Qian, let's not act out of emotion. Since Qing Zhe mentioned this direction, I think we should face it seriously instead of dampening his enthusiasm for speaking."
Qian Ye chuckled: "The biggest direction at the moment is actually you, Mr. Ba. Although Mr. Hu endorses you, it doesn't mean that the suspicion on you has been cleared. I know that you want to find some scapegoats now. When dealing with Duo Ye, you can make up any story. But I must say, it’s your business to find someone who takes the blame, but don’t cause trouble for Zu Yao and them.”
Lao Ba himself is a low-income person, so he is the most suspicious. Therefore, he did not speak harshly. Faced with Master Qian's accusation, he couldn't be forceful.
He could only say calmly: "Master Qian, in the final analysis, whether it is Zuyao or Qingzhe, they are all pharmacists hired by Master Hu. We have always treated them equally. I believe Master Qian also wants to find out what is the difference between them." We have the same starting point on who is behind the scenes. As for Qianye suspecting that it is my father who is behind the scenes, I am willing to accept the investigation. The same goes for Qingzhe and Zuyao. Whenever there is any doubt about them, they will all be investigated. Under investigation.”
Without waiting for Master Qian to answer, Jiang Yue smiled faintly: "Master Ba is right, I am willing to accept the investigation. Your Excellency Qingzhe, since you have always wanted to drag me into trouble, then we might as well do it all at once in front of several big bosses. Please explain everything clearly."
Qingzhe's face remained unchanged and he laughed and said: "Brother Zuyao misunderstood. I didn't mean to drag anyone into trouble. I just stated the objective facts to a few big guys. This is not aimed at anyone. I believe that the same situation will happen. , if you, Brother Zuyao, find something wrong, you will still stand up and speak out, right?"
"That's good, then let's start from the beginning and let the big guys make a comprehensive judgment."
"Back when we were in the Adventurer's Guild, we didn't know each other at all. Your Excellency Qingzhe took the liberty to strike up a conversation, and then repeatedly wooed me. Even when I clearly refused, you have been clinging to me like a piece of candy. Is there such a thing? What's going on?"
"Later, Ga Ye from the Purple Rat Clan introduced us to work. You were the one who instigated it, and Ga Ye scolded you. There was almost a conflict, but I was the one who mediated. The atmosphere was tense, but inexplicably you joined Ga Ye's group. Team. You, a team of adventurers who are trying to get something out of the way, suddenly took the initiative to join Ga Ye’s hard work of earning fifteen silver coins a month after having a stalemate with Ga Ye. I just want to ask, what is your motive?”
"When we arrived at Mr. Hu's manor, I said several times that we were not familiar with each other and there was no need to get too close. However, you struck up a conversation with us again and again. I originally considered that we would be together for a long time and did not want to be torn apart. Shameless, I have always been polite to you. But at the manor, I clearly found that you were working every day, but in fact you were not paying attention at all. I dare not say that you must have some conspiracy, but the feeling you gave me was that you You have no intention of working for a long time. You are just perfunctory every day. I believe it is not just me who has discovered this, but everyone in the guard camp and others who have seen you work can probably see this. come out."
"Do you still remember? When Amang had an accident, I asked you specifically. You obviously don't like the job of a pharmacist, why do you have to wrong yourself so much?"
"Later, those lizard people invaded. I don't deny that we had conflicts with the lizard people. They might have come against us. However, the conflict between me and the lizard people was just a verbal conflict and it did not turn into a big conflict at all. Why the lizard people Will people keep biting and refusing to let go?”
"And the lizard people said they were here to cause trouble for us. Why did it happen that it was your people who died twice in a row? Is there such a big hatred between you and the lizard people?"
"Also, you have been saying that Amang was stabbed to death by Xiaoqi, and Xiaoqi stabbed Amang to death because he lost his mind and was controlled by others. But in all this, apart from what you are talking about, you have never heard of it. Confirmed? Is there any bit of evidence?”
"Even after we got on the bus with Mr. Ga, we didn't know where Mr. Ga would introduce us to work, and we had never heard of Mr. Hu's reputation before. We have no grievances or enmities with Mr. Hu. Don't say we don't have such abilities. , Even if we have this ability, why should we have trouble with Mr. Hu, who we have never met before? And we can still predict it before we know that Mr. Ga is going to introduce us to work in Mr. Hu’s manor? "
"Taking a step back, all the above are true. If we want to destroy the elixir, why do we wait until here to do it? In Master Hu's manor, in the dead of night, the guards are only ambushing on the way up the mountain, not in the area of the medicine garden at all. , wouldn’t the opportunity to make a move be better than here?”
"You, on the other hand, were telling me one second that Ga Ye's business is to introduce illegal workers, so we should not be fooled. The next second you will join Ga Ye's team. Your motives really make me shudder."
"At first, I thought you were eyeing the 800 silver coins that I exchanged for the rough stone. You just deliberately wanted to get close to us and take advantage of me. Now it seems that I may have thought too much. Your ambitions and the hidden secrets behind you The motive may be ten times more terrifying than I imagined."
"That's all I'm saying, please let me know."
Isn't it just a bloody mouthful?
Jiang Yue is no worse than Qing Zhe.
Moreover, what he said was even more reasonable and well-founded, with no flaws at all. Apart from concealing what he had done, what he said was entirely based on factual evidence.
Master Hu was silent, Lao Ba was silent, and Master Duo and Master Qian were also lost in thought.
A flash of panic flashed in Qingzhe's eyes, and she began to regret a little in her heart. Why was she so troublesome just now?
He knew that he had underestimated the intelligence of this group of people.
He had been plotting the other party's 800 silver coins and rough stones before, and he was lucky enough to think that maybe the other party was not aware of this at all.
Later, Jiang Yue mocked him in private. He clearly didn't like this job, so why did he wrong himself so much?
At that time, Qingzhe actually thought that this was someone trying to beat him.
Although he was a little timid at the time, he still did not give up after all. Today he felt that the opportunity had come to target Zuyao and the others, so he stood up to testify and tried to knock Zuyao and the others down.
But he never expected that Zu Yao's thoughts were so delicate and his words were so sharp. After some reasonable and evidence-based testimony, he stripped the whole group of them completely, and they looked very suspicious.
The most important thing is that some of the other party's key points are presented in a particularly convincing way.
Ga Ye of the Purple Rat Clan took the initiative to find the three of them, while Qingzhe and the others took the initiative to join Ga Ye.
One is passive and the other is active, there is a big difference between them.
But Zuyao said that before they joined Ga Ye, they had no idea where they were going, and they didn't know Hu Ye at all. Everything was triggered passively.
So what motive did they have to destroy the elixir when they had no grievances and were strangers to each other?
Even if people want to destroy the elixir, why wait until now? It is indeed more convenient to start in Huye Manor.
Several core points are well-founded and convincing.
On the contrary, it was Qing Zhe and his group.
Why was he scolding Ga Ye for introducing an illegal worker one second, and then joining Ga Ye the next? Did you have a plan in advance?
Why do the lizard people cause trouble for Zu Yao and them, and every time they die, it's their Qing Zhe group? Is there something else hidden in it?
Even when working in the medicine garden of the manor, the group of them was really dawdling a bit and did not devote themselves wholeheartedly. Even Lao Ba, the manor steward, had heard about the work attitude problem.
If I have to talk about motives, it is indeed the motives of Qingzhe and his group that are even more unclear.
Master Hu stared at Qingzhe with deep eyes: "Have you heard of my name before?"
Faced with Master Hu's power, Qing Zhe was a little nervous, and shook his head quickly: "Master Hu, no, there is no such thing. We joined Ga Ye's team on a temporary basis."
"Since you said that Mr. Ga was introducing illegal workers, why did you do it on the spur of the moment? Isn't this a contradiction?"
Qing Zhe also felt tremendous pressure when faced with the oppression of the strong.
"Master Hu, I...I confess, at first we did have some thoughts about Zuyao and the others."
"What do you think?" Master Hu asked calmly.
"They revealed their wealth, and we suspect they still have rough stones on them." Qingzhe knew that if he didn't confess, he would be in big trouble if Mr. Hu and the others mistakenly thought they had ambitions for the manor.
In contrast, it is obviously more acceptable to admit to having ambitions for the wealth of fellow mushroom people. The lesser of two evils.
Sangou on the side yelled: "You bitch, you really have bad intentions. I will kill you."
Jiang Yue grabbed Sangou and shouted: "Don't be impulsive. The big guys are the ones who make the decision here. What are you yelling about? Besides, what have we lost? They have done many evil things and there will always be retribution."
Although San Gou was furious, he was actually acting. He glared at Qing Zhe angrily and said, "I will challenge you to a duel later."
Qingzhe is not afraid of Sangou's invitation to a duel, but what he is more afraid of is Master Hu's thunderous wrath.
A hero like Master Hu is inherently suspicious by nature.
Once he opened the box of doubt, it was never so easy to dismiss.
In fact, comparing these two groups of mushroom people, everyone's first impression is actually easy to see.
Qingzhe and his group have been exploiting side projects for a long time, and their insidious and cunning temperament, even if it is well hidden, is not so impeccable.
In contrast, this group of mushroom people in Zuyao are obviously not trying to get away with things.
I also received a lot of feedback on this point when working in the medicine garden.
Even Lao Ba admitted that the working attitudes of the two groups were completely different.
"Where were you last night?" Master Hu asked again.
Qing Zhe said hurriedly: "We are resting at the camp."
Master Hu looked at Jiang Yue again.
Jiang Yue said: "We had a banquet with Master Duo and Master Qian earlier, and then returned to the camp. We stayed in Master Qian's tent for a while, and then went back to our own tent to rest."
Master Hu also knew about the banquet.
