After the Chengyang War, the Xuegong investigated Zheng Jianzi from Xinzheng, Cai Zhang from Shangcai, Zhao Chang from Jiujiang, and Sui Yue from Suicheng who were involved in the incident. The final result was that Zheng Jianzi was transferred from Xinzheng to Guzhu in Yan State. , the matter comes to an end.
Yuan Guzhu Xingxing finally returned to the Central Plains from the bitter cold land in the northeast of Yan State and took up the post of Pengcheng of Xu State. Peng Li, the former Pengcheng Xingxing, was transferred to Xinzheng Xingxing.
After Peng Li took office as Xinzheng Xingxing, he spent half a year sorting out the Xinzheng Academy and settling down in his position. Then he encountered his first case after taking office.
There is a demon cultivating cannibalism in a mass grave in the northwest of Xinzheng.
Cases like this are not difficult to deal with. Once you know the location, you can take someone to the mass grave to ambush, and when the demon cultivator shows up, just grab it.
Peng Li did exactly that. He led his nine monks to crouch for three days and finally waited for the demon cultivator to come out.
But just when he was about to close the net and arrest him, someone broke into the mass grave. The frightened demon cultivator immediately ran away, causing Peng Li to fail.
The demon cultivator was good at escaping and was not easy to catch, but the intruder could not escape. He was caught by Peng Li on the spot. After a search, it was found that this person had the badge of Suicheng Academy and was actually one of his own. This person was quite tough-talking. No matter how Peng Li asked, he would not tell him the reason for coming to Xinzheng.
Peng Li immediately asked Sui Yue, and Sui Yue also replied that there was indeed this person. His dharma name was Fei Longzi. He was at the peak of Qi refining and he had always been valued by him. Therefore, he asked Peng Li to return the person so that he could interrogate Fei Longzi and promised to give him the money. Peng Li gave an explanation.
This is also the usual practice for handling cases between schools. Whoever owns the case will take it away, and then give a convincing result.
Therefore, Peng Li happily agreed to Sui Yue's request and asked Suicheng Academy to come and collect the people.
Therefore, Suiyue sent another capable subordinate, Meng Jin, to Xinzheng to lead the people, and he stayed there for ten days.
It took five or six days to go back and forth, but the two monks at the peak of Qi Refining didn't come back after ten days. Where did they go?
Sui Yue personally led a team to search for Xinzheng, and Peng Li also searched for Suicheng. The two sides searched for many days, but still to no avail, and the dispute broke out.
An angry Peng Li sent an official document to Linzi, and the academy quickly responded to both parties, saying that the deacon's outer hall was about to come to investigate, and asked both parties to be prepared.
"That's what happened. I don't know what happened. The chief executive will arrive in Suicheng in two days. Brother Sun, what do you think we should do?" Sui Yue told the people who came specially to see the whole story. Wu Sheng.
Suiyue's troubles are not his own. Wu Sheng can't let anything happen to him during the absence of Yu Da Fengxing and Luo Fengxing. If something happens at this time, it is likely to turn into a big deal. Maybe Wu Sheng's basic skills in Chu State The disk will be pried as a result.
Therefore, it was completely necessary for Wu Sheng to intervene. He asked Suiyue: "I also have an impression of this Feilongzi under brother Suiyue. He doesn't seem to like talking very much?"
Suiyue said: "This man has been with me for almost ten years. He is honest and dull by nature. He should not be a person who associates with evil cultivators. Whenever he travels far away, he will report it to me. I don't know why he went to Xinzheng this time. I really can't think of it." untie."
Wu Sheng asked: "Where is Meng Jin? I'm not familiar with this person."
Suiyue said: "This is the disciple I recruited last year. You haven't seen it before. Speaking of which, he is still my nephew. When he was young, he joined the Xinghe sect of Yue State to learn talismans. After completing his studies, he returned home and joined my sect. His closest relatives, flesh and blood, also no problem."
Wu Sheng asked again: "How did you and Peng Li quarrel?"
Sui Yue shook his head and said: "This person is really impatient. I told him that I was responsible for finding the person, but he refused to listen. Am I not more anxious than him when two of my disciples disappeared? But he suspected that I was covering up the disciples. It is really unreasonable to turn around and write to the academy!"
"Can't find him? No trace at all?"
"It's true that I didn't find it. The Shenzang Seeing Light Talisman is useless. It took too long. It's my fault that I waited so many days in vain and delayed the best time to use the talisman. Brother Sun, you are good at solving crimes. Please think about it. , what happened to them? Why did they disappear for no reason? "
How he solved the case was not clear to others, but Wu Sheng himself knew best. How could he figure it out if he was just thinking about it blindly? For now, let's deal with the deacon's outer hall first.
"Who's coming down to investigate?"
"Huang Yue takes the lead, along with Qing Shu and Wang Nang."
"Jingtai didn't come?"
"Fortunately, he didn't come. Lien Da's behavior is not too biased. If Jingtai comes, this situation will be difficult."
At that time, Shouchun Academy was besieged. Suiyue was outside the city and Wu Sheng was inside. Therefore, Jingtai's hatred for Suiyue was second only to Wu Sheng. This was an obvious feud, so Uncle Lian, the chief minister on duty, excluded Jingtai. .
"Although Jingtai didn't come, you still can't be careless. Huang Yue is the person who shoulders my great devotion and has never dealt with us. Qingshu is not a good person. He especially hates Xue Zhong and me. Even Wang Nang... ....Forget it, there are no good people, they are all terrible!"
"Of course I know. You have said before that you must not report anything to Linzi unless it is absolutely necessary. But we ourselves did not report it, but Peng did. There are so many birdmen in the executive outer hall, and Yu Da is following He and Luo Fengxing went to sea again and have not returned, Jianwu has always been against us, Uncle Lian also favors him, and Ji Xian doesn't help each other. When Da Fengxing comes to discuss matters, the blame will most likely fall on my ass!"
"Don't worry yet. It's just a small case. We can't let a bunch of villains succeed."
"Brother Sun, I don't want to go to the bitter cold land of Yanbei. I don't want to go to Kunlun Ya. There are also the East China Sea and Baiyue Longkou... By the way, have you heard about it? The academy is planning to be in the south of Baiyue. We set up a school in Longkou to deal with the barbaric evil cultivators. You said Jianwu wouldn’t take me to Longkou, right? Brother Sun, this..."
Sui Yue became more and more panicked as he spoke, so Wu Sheng could only comfort him: "Didn't I just say that? We just failed to capture a demon cultivator. As for your two disciples, they might have gotten clues and went after the demon cultivator. Forget it. If you disappear or even get into an accident, it’s just to capture the demon cultivator. This is because you dedicated your life to the academy and died. Not only is it no fault, it’s also a compliment!”
Suiyue said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, they are going to hunt down the demon cultivator. Before Meng Jin went out, I told him to ask and check about the demon cultivator..."
Wu Sheng comforted Sui Yue and began to interrogate the monks in Suicheng Academy, asking about the situation of Meng Jin and Fei Longzi, but after asking all night, he had no clue.
Early the next morning, Zhao Shang from Jiujiang arrived. At noon, Xue Zhong from Ying Du Xing also arrived. At dusk, even Cai Zhang from Shangcai Xing also came - they all reached an agreement during the Chengyang incident. Respond to the parties to the executive outer hall agreement. As for Shouchun Zhongxing Wan Tao, Suiyue did not invite him. Everyone knew that Yangzhou Sun Xingxing could definitely represent Wan Tao's opinions.
So, everyone sat together to discuss what to do. But after many discussions, one problem could not be avoided. Peng Li was the one who made the report. How should he deal with it?
At the end of the discussion, Wu Sheng could only suggest: "Let me go to Xinzheng."
