The Xiao family's secret prison was very dark. When Jiang Yu woke up and caught a glimpse of the dim light of the candle, he even felt it was a bit dazzling.
Four or five days have passed since the White Mansion arrived here. The two of them were drugged and locked up in a place. No one else could see them except for their daily meals.
If you can't transport your spiritual energy or move your weapons, you are no different from a useless person.
Jiang Yu was used to a hands-off life and could adapt, but Li Zha couldn't.
"Hey, we're all in this damn place, and you're still able to eat and sleep."
There was a strange smell not far away. Jiang Yu turned his head and saw Li Zha huddled in a corner of the cell. She sat down against the wall with a withered grass in her mouth. Her expression was not clear in the candlelight, only a pair of black eyes. Anger flashed in Liang's eyes.
Jiang Yu closed his eyes and ignored her.
Seeing her desperate look, Li Zha was furious. She slapped the ground, stood up and walked over to Jiang Yu.
Cursing in a low voice: "If you had said a word at that time and it could not have happened, I will never drag the master to come with you. Now it's good. The master has been sealed by these people, and we both have What were you thinking about being locked up for medicine?"
"Hey! Why did you turn over? Turn around and answer me!"
She was so noisy that Jiang Yu turned over and turned to the wall, thinking about the cause and effect in his heart.
Something happened to the Xiao family after the Tide Watching Festival on August 8, which means that the real time of the incident must be before August. The date marked on the booklet is the evidence.
The 'Tai Sui' who shared food, the crazy head of the family, the foolish Erlang Bai, the murdered Bai Xiu, and the goddess who suddenly appeared.
She and Li Zha went to steal Tai Sui, but the woman told them that this was what they were going to get.
This pushed them out to take the blame for discounts and splashed dirty water on them.
One by one, these piles came like a tidal wave and drowned people. I don’t know why.
Jiang Yu was thinking about things and felt that there was something she had overlooked.
A "squeak" from the door stopped Li Zha's noise. She turned around and was blinded by the bright light. She had to cover the light with her hands. Looking through the shadow, there was a person standing there. A long figure.
Jiang Yu listened to the noise and turned around when he saw that Li Zha had made no sound.
The light gradually shrank and disappeared behind the door, revealing the face of the person who came, it was Wang Sanhua.
The man sighed, saw Jiang Yu lying comfortably on the haystack, and walked over quickly.
"Jiang Yu, Li Zha, what's going on with you two? Why is what the Jiang family said different from what you said?"
He asked two people, but it was Jiang Yu who looked at him. Li Zha sneered and didn't answer.
She looked at this and that, and realized that this person was here to see Jiang Yu, so she simply sat aside and listened to them without saying a word.
Jiang Yu propped himself up, yawned, raised his eyelids and looked at him. The tall boy squatted down, with an eager look on his face that didn't seem to be fake.
"You still have the leisure to sleep in this secret prison, but do you know that there has been a turmoil outside? Aunt Jiang Jiaquan is making a fuss about taking Xiaojiu away, saying that the five families have lost their moral virtues, but without Xiaojiu, they have lost Xiao The old man’s clues, Bai Xiu is unconscious again, and my junior uncle and I can’t testify for you, if..."
"If at this juncture, the mastermind behind the scenes makes a slight push and puts the blame on me and Li Zha, we can escape unscathed. But if we do it again, the five families will completely collapse."
Jiang Yu took his words and continued softly: "Master once told me that all the prosperity in the world is for benefit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit. Taoist Master Wang, why do you think the other party is here?"
Wang Sanhua closed her mouth and looked at Jiang Yu with bright eyes.
Jiang Yu continued: "I originally thought that Tai Sui should be used to lead out the mastermind behind the incident, but after being caught, I discovered that this was not the case at all. The mastermind behind the scenes has always been among us. This basin of dirty water , yes or no, it will always fall on us.”
"I was also stupid. I only remembered later that you had stopped me from finding the truth many times. Now that I look back and think about it, maybe you are one of them. I don't know what your purpose is, but I just want to ask you about taking Tai Sui. , is it the other people in the five families you told?"
What?
What she means is that Wang Sanhua is the one who snitched?
The young man was silent for a long time and shook his head: "No, I didn't..."
"Okay." Jiang Yu closed his eyes and waded into the weeds again, "I think you five families are already complicated. It's my fault to wade into this muddy water without permission. It's not my intention to find out about this matter. It falls into your hands. , I also admit it.”
Wang Sanhua stood up: "Jiang Yu, I don't know how you guessed it, but I want to tell you that things are not what you think. It is difficult to tell you what I want to do now, but my intention is not to do evil.
There was a sound of "cut" from the corner of the wall, and Li Zha turned her head. Just now she heard these words clearly and suddenly understood the reason.
She looked up at Wang Sanhua outside and said, "Let me tell you, Jiang Yu and I were so careful when we sneaked into the Bai Mansion. It turned out that someone had snitched on us. A big family is troublesome. There are a lot of twists and turns. If you don't want us to get them, , I just made it clear to myself, I have to push someone out as a scapegoat, and pluck myself out in a high-sounding way."
"Black heart."
Wang Sanhua's expression changed: "No, I didn't."
"okay."
Jiang Yu waved his hand and closed his eyes: "Since you don't want to tell the truth, you are not speculating. I won't tell you anymore. You can go."
"Jiang Yu, I know you are innocent. Don't worry. I will definitely find a way to get you out."
Wang Sanhua's face darkened, and she turned around and walked out: "Don't come to Pingjiang County in the future. They are quite resentful of you. Some people have already identified you as the culprit. If we meet again, they will not let you go."
After that, he strode out of the secret prison.
After the door closed, Jiang Yu opened his eyes and let out a breath.
In Pingjiang County, if she had expected the depth of the water here, she would definitely not stay here for a long time. However, the whereabouts of her master are unknown, and the clues point directly to the Xiao family and Yuling Mansion, and are inextricably related to the conspiracy between the five families. Even the Yin-Yang Mirror, the three personal magic weapons, has been sealed, and it must be in danger of annihilation.
As a disciple, how can you stay out of it?
Not only could she not just run away, she also had to investigate.
Now, the matter has revealed the tip of the iceberg, and we still need to dig into it in detail.
It's a pity that when she and Li Zha lurked to the Bai Mansion, they didn't bring Yin Ban'er who took care of the little fox demon A Ming. Now that Lingqi is sealed, she can't communicate with them through Youxianlu.
I don’t know if they have escaped from the Xiao family now...
This was the time when the Xiao family heard the roar of the crane, and in the hall, two groups of people were confronting each other.
Yin Baner carefully stepped on the eaves, leaned over and carefully opened the tiles, and listened to the argument below with her ears raised.
His body has already been washed by Youxianlu, and the exposed evil spirits have been dissipated. If ordinary practitioners are not careful, they will not be able to discover that there is still an evil spirit here.
Jiang Xianquan, the woman who had captured Jiang Yu earlier, stood in the hall, confronting the Xiao family. She looked murderous and had a very ugly look on her face. She stood alone in the front, tightly protecting the woman who was being supported by a servant behind her. Young man.
Xiao Sanyan led everyone to block the door, blocking her way.
The woman said angrily: "Boy from the Xiao family, are you really not going to let me go?"
Xiao Sanyan, who was standing opposite her, bowed but was very calm.
"Aunt Quan, don't be anxious. Now the old man can't find any trace, and Bai Xiu has lost his soul again. If we can't twist them into a rope, I'm afraid they will be broken by the other party one by one. Instead of being calm, the Jiang family will be in trouble. "
What he said made sense, but it was obvious that Jiang Xianquan was not the type to listen to truth.
She raised her eyebrows and said coldly: "Xiaojiu was seriously injured. He has a special constitution. Now his heart is damaged. Something went wrong in the evening, which caused an old illness. It cannot be recovered except by the cold jade in the basement of the Jiang family. You are blocking it like this because you want it." His life. You met him when you were a child, and we were classmates for a few days. You watched Xiaojiu grow up, how could you be so cruel? "
Xiao Sanyan stood in front of the door without giving in, with a very respectful attitude.
"The Xiao family has a family doctor who can help Xiaojiu alleviate his symptoms. I also ask Aunt Quan to focus on the overall situation and not act rashly at this juncture, as it will play into the hands of others."
Under the stalemate between the two, Xiao Jiu, who was behind Jiang Xianquan, coughed violently.
He was seriously injured by Mr. Xiao a few days ago and his heart was damaged. He was already extremely weak due to the recurrence of his old illness. He was panting like a broken house and choked on drops of blood while breathing.
"Xiaojiu!"
Jiang Xianquan was very worried and turned around to support him.
This is the doll she has seen since she was a child. She knows the shape of the body best. Now it is like a candle in the wind and may be extinguished at any time. How can she not be anxious.
Jiang Qian struggled to open his eyes, "Aunt..."
"Xiao Jiu, don't worry, aunt will take you home." Jiang Xianquan comforted him, but looked at Xiao Sanyan, "Will you get out of the way!"
"Aunt Quan, let the clan doctor come and take a look at Xiaojiu first."
Xiao Sanyan sighed and shook his head: "Shu Qianhe can't get out of the way."
Yin Banner, who was hiding under the eaves, sighed for a while. If the two parties below collapsed due to this, it would be the end.
He originally planned to come here to inquire about the whereabouts of his master Jiang Yu, but unexpectedly he overheard such a dispute. He could not leave, nor could he leave.
"This is great, how can I find someone..."
Yin Ban'er scratched his head, feeling that one of his heads was bigger than the other two, and a voice came from the side to answer his words.
"Don't you have Youxianlu to communicate with her? Why can't you find her yet?"
Yin Ban'er murmured: "I tried it, but there was no response. I think I may have encountered numbness..."
Before he could say the word "feng", he turned his head suddenly and saw a tall figure standing on Uwa.
Just one look at those golden eyes can be unforgettable.
This person is actually Shen Zhaixing, whom I haven’t seen for a long time!
