At this point in the investigation, it can be said that the case has been solved, and the next thing is a matter of arrest and arrest.
Fei Wuji gritted his teeth and said, "There is a reward of two hundred gold for the capture of Wei Fushen!"
Zhaoyuan said to Xue Zhong and Wu Sheng: "If the son of a minister of Chu is assassinated, can the Academy also arrest him?"
Fei Binzhu, who was in charge of Tingting Temple, knew this very well and said to Zhaoyuan: "Wei Fushen is the key criminal for whom the academy has offered a reward. If I remember correctly, there is a reward of fifty gold."
Xue Zhong corrected: "The reward has been raised. As far as I know, the academy has raised Wei Fushen's reward to a hundred gold. For the academy, it is already a first-class reward."
Fei Wuji said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Xue Zhong said: "Young Master, Wei Fushen's latest reward announcement has not yet arrived in Yingdu. Maybe we will see it in a few days."
Wu Sheng explained: "Wei Fushen offered a reward of a hundred gold because of the incident in Chengyang."
Fei Wuji's eyes narrowed: "Chengyang?"
Wu Sheng said: "Three months ago, the four schools in Jiujiang, Suicheng, Xinzheng, and Shangcai pursued the golden Gu Dawu Shan Xingpu to Chengyang and captured Shan Xingpu. It was Wei Fushen who broke into the prison using underground methods and robbed Shan Xingpu. Let's go. The four men chased them all the way to Huyi Mountain, but finally lost them. It is said that Wei Fushen escaped with a square-inch talisman, which was really difficult. The case aroused great concern in the academy, and was discussed in a special discussion This matter was sent to the outside hall to investigate, and Zheng Jianzi, who was walking in Xinzheng, was punished, and the other three walks were also reprimanded."
Xue Zhongdao: "The reason why his reward has not been announced until now is because the ministers have disputes about whether to include him on the wanted red list. Some ministers proposed to expand the red list to thirty-seven and add Wei Fushen to the red list. , some people objected, believing that his prison robbery was not enough to be listed on the red list."
Wu Sheng said: "Actually, I agree to put him on the red list. Although the robbery in Chengyang is nothing, he was able to escape under the encirclement and suppression from all directions. The method is very clever and extremely difficult to deal with... ..”
Fei Wuji suddenly interrupted: "Why did Wei Fuchen appear in Chengyang? Why did he want to save the great witch?"
Wu Sheng replied: "Why he appeared in Chengyang is unknown for the time being, but the person he wanted to kidnap was the target of Jiujiang Academy. Zhao Shang, who was walking in Jiujiang, chased Cheng Fu with the help of the local Chu army. , confirmed the target and fled to Chengyang. With the assistance of the Chu army, he surrounded Chengyang and captured him. He was soon kidnapped by Wei Fushen..."
Zhaoyuan and Sun Jiezi looked at each other with solemn expressions, but Fei Wuji smiled, nodding his head as he smiled.
Wu Sheng went on to introduce: "...This thief is good at digging tunnels. He has used tunnel warfare to escape the academy's arrest many times. The magic weapon he used is called the Dragon Xiang Iron Claw. It is believed that he pinned Fei Zuoshi on the couch with this weapon and was unable to move. …”
"...He likes to have a false reputation and considers himself a big thief. He will leave his name behind after committing a crime..."
Fei Wuji suddenly asked: "Wei Fushen... a descendant of the Wei family?"
Wu Sheng shook his head: "I don't know, his origin is unknown."
Feibin asked from the side: "How did he bypass Feifu's array?"
Wu Sheng said: "Wei Fuchen was a tomb robber in his early years. He also excavated ancient monks' caves. I don't know what methods he used. To him, most magic circles in the world are as if they are nothing. In fact, it cannot be said that he can bypass the magic circles. If My guess is good, the magic circle in the mansion should have been destroyed."
A customer behind Fei Wuji shouted: "Impossible!"
Fei Bin said: "This is the famous scholar Xuan'an. Fei Mansion's wind and snow entrance array was set up by Xuanshi."
Xuan'an said to himself: "Absolutely impossible! The Fengxue Porch Formation is a middle-grade first-class magic formation. It took Xuan only three years to build it. It is impermeable to wind and rain, and the Porch is like a dragon!"
Wu Sheng smiled and said nothing.
Fei Wuji said: "Go and have a look!"
So everyone turned around and re-entered the tunnel, returned to Fei's Mansion, and headed straight for the mansion's gate - usually the arrays that guarded the mansion's courtyards were all near the gate, and the same was true for the Fengxue Porch Formation.
Arriving at the gate, Xuan'an pointed to the inner eaves, beams, pillars, stone beasts, etc. and shouted, "Aren't these all good?"
Wu Sheng asked: "The magic circle has not been activated in the past two days, right?"
Xuan'an said: "People have been coming and going in the past two days, and the case is being investigated even at night. How to start it?"
Wu Sheng smiled and said: "I don't know if this magic circle is destroyed, you can try to activate it."
Xuan'an greeted another guest, and they each took out a compass, put it together, and activated the magic circle. This is the practice of a large family. The head of the household does not have time to open the magic circle every morning and evening, so he leaves the compass in charge of Nobushige's retainers, but usually two people are in charge at the same time, and the compasses in the hands of two people can be opened together.
A burst of energy came from the two-in-one activation compass, and then...
Puff puff……
In a series of popping sounds, clouds of smoke and dust rose up from the door eaves, beams, pillars, stone beasts and other places where the array plates were installed, and all turned into dust.
A beautiful entrance to the snow-stormed entrance array was destroyed in ashes!
In front of Fei Mansion, the silence reached an extreme level for a moment.
Suddenly, Xuan'an knelt down and bowed to Fei Wuji three times. He turned his wrist and a cold light flashed, and wiped his throat with the long sword in his palm, indicating that he was going to kill himself.
With a "ding" sound, the long sword in Xuan An's palm was knocked away on the spot, but it was Zhao Yuan who took action. It is not easy to commit suicide in front of a great master of the Void Refining Realm.
Although the long sword was shot down, the sword light still swept across his throat, and blood suddenly flowed from Xuan'an's neck. Siwei Fei Bin flicked two fingers in the air to stop the blood flow. This shows how determined Xuan'an was in seeking death.
Fei Wuji said angrily: "I'm going to die if I make a mistake? In the future, if word spreads, others will say that I don't treat my customers well, and Fei's reputation will be damaged. How will you make up for it then?"
Xuan'an's forehead was dripping with sweat, and he cried to the ground: "This is a death penalty!"
Fei Wuji snorted coldly: "Hurry up, make a new magic circle, and atone for your sins!"
Xuan An trembled: "My disciples - obey the order!"
Fei Wuji tossed his sleeves and left, then suddenly turned back: "Bo Pu, come with me!"
Bo Pu followed Fei Wuji tremblingly, turning back three times with each step. He really didn't want to go, but he didn't dare not to go, so he followed with a sad face.
Arriving at Fei Wuji's study, Fei Wuji asked, "Who instigated my son to ask for Yan Luoshan?"
Bo Pu lowered his head and said, "I don't know. I only heard him mention that someone passed by Yanluoshan. When he came back, he told him about the situation in the mountain and made a picture. After he saw it, he became obsessed with Yanluoshan... By the way, there are two beautiful Taoist nuns in the mountain who were also painted, and he liked them very much."
Fei Wuji asked: "Who else has he seen these days?"
Bo Po thought and named several names in succession before Fei Wuji let him go. After leaving the study, I couldn't help wiping my sweat, and secretly thought that I would never dare to enter the Fei Mansion again in the future, and of course there was no need to come again.
When I returned to the front yard, I heard a commotion outside. It was the guards who were searching nearby and caught a suspicious person hiding in a certain mansion.
