After Wan Tao was questioned, he went back to accompany Yan Xingxing, while Wu Sheng continued to wait in the school building, accompanied by Zhong Liying as requested by Zhao Shang and Wang Nang.
Zhao Shang and Wang Nang continued to open the questioning mode and asked Jingtai and Qingshu.
They were placed at the back mainly because their injuries were serious, so they were given an extra seven days. But even after seven days, Jingtai's injury was still serious. He seemed to feel a little better, but he didn't feel much better. Sometimes he was in a coma and sometimes he woke up. Sometimes he could sit up and bask in the sun, but sometimes he could only lie in bed and find it difficult to get up.
Wu Sheng said that in order to avoid suspicion, he did not dare to treat them. Cui Ming, his disciple from Yangzhou, came forward and invited the famous alchemists Mo You and Yue Zhong to treat them. Zhao Shang asked the two alchemists about his condition and diagnosis and treatment plan, checked the elixirs and elixirs they gave, and visited him twice in person. He felt that the symptoms were correct, but there was still not much improvement.
This shows how badly the two were injured and how ruthlessly Xue Zhong struck.
But we can’t wait for them three or five months for this investigation, right? Therefore, Zhao Chang and Wang Nang could only come over and ask a few words when Jingtai and Qingshu woke up one day.
"Jing Xingxing, how do you feel? Can you answer the question? If not, you can wait a few more days." Zhao Chang asked with concern.
Jingtai leaned on the bed, opened his eyes and said, "It's a lucky thing that Jing is not dead. Although he is seriously injured, he still has the strength to answer questions. Master Zhao Fu and Master Wang don't have to worry."
Zhao Shang said: "The general situation is that we asked many people a few days ago and almost all of them are correct. In order not to waste time, I would like to ask Jing Xingxing to explain a few doubtful points."
Jingtai took a breath and said feebly: "Jing must tell you everything he knows."
Zhao Sang asked: "Why did Jing Xingxing arrest Wei Shumang and the others?"
Tracing this issue back to its origin is very critical, like hitting a snake in the face with a stick, because so far, Jingtai has only sent a secret letter to Jiang Fengxing, and the secret letter did not mention the reason for the arrest.
Jingtai closed his eyes, not knowing whether he was sleepy or thinking, until Zhao Shang called again: "Jing Xingxing? Jing Xingxing?"
Jingtai then opened his eyes and whispered: "My Shouchun Academy has long suspected these three people."
Zhao Sang asked again: "What do you suspect?"
Jingtai paused for a moment and said: "He is suspected of smuggling longevity pills."
Zhao Sang asked: "Why do you doubt it?"
Jingtai was silent for a long time before answering: "I heard about it."
Zhao Shang and Wang Nang looked at each other and shook their heads secretly. This answer was very vague. If there is no answer after the answer, look at Sun Wu's answer. What things aroused suspicion, how to identify the suspect, how to arrest them, one by one. They are all very clear, specific and convincing.
Jingtai's answer was "rumours". Well, with the school's style of work, "rumors" can also investigate cases, but what we are dealing with now is a case between two schools. To put it bluntly, who is robbing? Gong, this is a very low-level answer. This is a low-level mistake. Comparison makes a judgment.
Wang Nang didn't have a good impression of Sun Wu. He originally came with expectations. Now he was disappointed and wanted to try his best to redeem himself: "Rumors? Jing Xingxing, this matter is very important. You have to think about it."
Jingtai did not answer this.
Zhao Chang shook his head and asked: "Wei Shumang and the other three were arrested by Jing Xingxing on behalf of Jiujiang Academy in Shangyong. How did Jing Xingxing know that his three brothers would pass by Shangyong?"
Jingtai was silent for another moment and said: "It is an inference... from Zhufeng Mountain in the wilderness to the north, Shangyong... it is the key point on the way. Wei Shumang and three people have walked this route many times... I have been walking for many years, and I am old at checking. The case...is not difficult."
Zhao Shang asked: "Sun Wu said that he went to Shouchun that day and came to ask you to hand over someone. You denied it or admitted that this happened?"
Jingtai's tone was difficult: "When Sun Wu came... he came with Sui Yue... he was domineering and had many provocative words... he clearly wanted to rob people, ahem... so he was rejected by me..."
Wang Nang asked: "But he said he only brought two of his disciples with him?"
Jingtai suddenly became angry: "He is talking nonsense! Ahem... he, Suiyue, Wan Tao, etc., along with dozens of monks, are very aggressive..."
Wang Nang clenched his fists: "So, he is lying?"
Jingtai nodded angrily, his face flushed: "He lied!"
Zhao Sang asked: "At that time, Sui Yue, Wan Tao and others entered Shouchun Academy with him?"
Jingtai said: "Wan Tao and dozens of others surrounded my Shouchun Academy, and Sui Yue was waiting outside the city to meet them..."
After saying this, Wang Nang was immediately discouraged. Wu Sheng had made it very clear what Jingtai was talking about from the beginning. Sui Yue was waiting outside the city and Wan Tao was waiting outside the school. As far as Wu Sheng was concerned, there was nothing wrong with him.
But he still didn't give up, and asked with his last hope: "Sun Wu said, when they are ready to say goodbye, you won't let them leave?"
Jingtai suddenly widened his eyes and shouted: "Nonsense! How is it possible? He just leaves when he wants, how can I stop him?"
Wang Nang said: "But he said that the Yuan brothers under your command stopped them. What he actually said was to let them stay?"
Jingtai was so angry that his beard was tangled and his hands were trembling. He pointed to the door and said: "Let him come... let him come and confront him. What Yuan Laosan said is, if you don't want to leave, don't leave, stay! He is pinching Cut off the beginning and end, and create something out of nothing! Go and ask the third eldest son of the Yuan family, and you will know that the eldest and second eldest brother are also there... cough cough cough, they are all present!"
Wang Nang was about to say that the three brothers of the Yuan family were dead, but Zhao Shang stopped him. Jingtai was in such a state that he could no longer be stimulated.
Seeing that he was out of breath and his tone was weak, Zhao Shang stepped forward and felt for his pulse again, and said, "One last question, what do you and Deacon Qing want to do when you come to Yangzhou?"
Jingtai said: "If he comes to Shouchun to rob people, can't I go to Yangzhou?"
Zhao Shang said: "Please let Jing Xingxing explain clearly, what are you doing in Yangzhou?"
Jingtai said: "Robbing people."
"Who are you robbing?"
"Su Qishan and Dong Bozhao."
"Why do you want to rob these two people?"
"Sun Wu can rob Wei Shumang, I'll just retaliate with tooth."
"So, Su and Dong are indeed the principal culprits?"
"In order to rob Wei Shumang, Sun Wu, ahem...forced himself, made a fake case, and fabricated Su and Dong as the main culprits. Qingshu and I robbed him to expose his conspiracy!"
"When did Qing Shu make an appointment with Jing Xingxing to go to Yangzhou together?"
"I didn't make an appointment with him. After leaving Shouchun, we met him on the way. We also decided to come to Yangzhou on the spur of the moment."
Leaving Shouchun's powerful enemy untouched, he ran out of the city to wander, and then met Qingshu by chance. The two of them got together on the roadside, then turned around and went to Yangzhou to rob people?
After hearing this, Wang Nang went from having high expectations at the beginning, to being disappointed, and now to contempt. He secretly thought in his heart that Jingtai is also a guy with a terrible character. He is full of lies. He couldn't help it anymore and said sarcastically: "So , did you pick up the Tiangang Thunder Talisman by accident?"
