That night, Wu Sheng accompanied Huang Yue and his entourage to Xiaodongshan. They interviewed the Ying brothers in Xiaodongshanfang City to find out whether they knew about the demon cultivator's appearance and whether they had been assigned to track down the demon cultivator's whereabouts. .
The result of the conversation naturally confirmed Wu Sheng's statement. In fact, Huang Yue and the others had known this result for a long time, because this statement had already been confirmed in Suicheng, Jiujiang, Yingdu, Shangcai and other places.
The answer is already clear. The demon cultivator has existed for a long time, and its whereabouts have been found in various places. However, it is not clear whether the same demon cultivator appears in different places, or different demon cultivators appear in different places.
According to the testimonies of walking around, Fei Longzi and Meng Jin were the operatives deployed by the city to deal with the demon cultivators. Therefore, Fei Longzi’s appearance in Xinzheng is completely reasonable. As for why he and Meng Jin disappeared, this is what the five walking and Xinzheng walking The difference lies between.
Xinzheng Xingxing believes that Suicheng Xingxing is protecting his monks, which is an act to protect his shortcomings, and there is even a bigger hidden secret that needs to be unearthed. However, Wu Zhongxing believes that all the processes are normal. Xinzheng Xingxing is too suspicious. What needs to be done now It's about finding the missing Fei Longzi and Meng Jin, rather than worrying about who is responsible.
That night in Xiaodongshan, the Executor's Outer Hall investigation team was arranged to participate in Fangshi's special activity - bathing. Everyone entered a natural bathing pool surrounded by green trees, with the bright moon hanging above and mist surrounding them. There is also a maid serving tea and wine, and all kinds of fresh fruits, vegetables, delicate fish and meat are all available. If necessary, you can also let the maid massage your tired skin and bones. It is really a fairy-like day.
Bathhouses are distributed on the north side of Xiaodong Mountain. There are more than ten large and small baths. Each one is widely separated from each other and is very hidden. This is to facilitate private conversations among distinguished guests.
Wu Sheng entered the bathtub in the mist of steam and came to the side of the king's bag. With a wet towel on his head, he waded straight into the water and sat down opposite the king's bag.
Wang Nang was enjoying himself with his eyes closed when he noticed someone approaching. He opened his eyes and looked at the other side. He only saw his bare chest in the mist and confirmed that it was a man. Then he looked around for the maidservant, wanting to know what was going on. Thing--didn't we agree that one person has one bath, and no one else can enter?
But I saw the person opposite took off the wet towel from his head, covered his face, and said, "Master Wang, stop looking. It's just you and me."
Wang Nang stiffened and suddenly felt restless.
Just listen to Wu Sheng say: "Master Wang, as the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. You and I are destined. Although we are not friends, Sun still admires Master Wang's Taoism. I wonder, Master Wang, how has your cultivation been recently? Sun has always been We are making progress, Master Wang Dan, please don’t fall down. If you lose to me next time, it will be boring.”
At the mention of fighting, Wang Nang immediately became energetic. Thinking that the person opposite him was his defeated general, he felt a little excited. He straightened his waist and hips and sneered: "Wang will not retreat behind your Sun Xingxing no matter how much he retreats." , don’t worry!”
Wu Sheng smiled and said: "In that case, when Alchemist Wang meets Sun, why is it like a mouse meeting a cat every time?"
Now that the words have been spoken, the king is willing to give up and vent his full grievances: "You, Sun Wu, are a disaster star. Whenever Wang gets involved with you, he will be in bad luck every time! Wang doesn't ask for anything else. As long as you stay away from me, I can burn incense and worship the gods even if there is smoke rising from my ancestors’ graves, and I can make sacrifices to heaven and earth!”
Wu Sheng sighed: "Master Wang, everything has a cause and effect. Looking back, you know best what the reason was in the first place. Today you and I can be honest with each other. If you have some things to say, let's talk openly with Master Wang. Okay?"
Wang Nang snorted and didn't answer, but he didn't leave either. This meant he was ready to listen to what Wu Sheng had to say.
Wu Sheng said: "Sun doesn't want to be friends with Alchemist Wang, but you don't have to be enemies. It's not good to be enemies. Sun doesn't want to be someone else's enemy. I'm afraid that others will seek revenge on me. This is a very dangerous thing, so People have trouble sleeping and eating, just like I treat my enemies, who will never stop fighting. What do you think, Master Wang?"
After waiting for a moment for the king on the other side to digest, Wu Sheng said: "Since Alchemist Wang has not spoken, let's just assume that Alchemist Wang has acquiesced in Sun's point of view, okay? You see, we have been frank with each other. If you have anything to say, Sun will respond. As Yi Shi has said, I would also like to ask Alchemist Wang to give me some reaction to see if we can reach an agreement."
After holding it in for a moment, Wang Nang asked: "What reaction do you want?"
Wu Sheng said: "It has been some time since you came out to investigate, and you have almost gone where you should go. Sun is more curious, what is your attitude? I wonder if Master Wang is willing to turn hostility into friendship with Sun?"
Wang Nang was silent for another moment, and finally said: "The rules of the outer hall are that everyone can report the situation they know to the great minister, and how to deal with it is decided by the great minister. I think, five The statements made by the three-person walkers are consistent, and my judgment is... I tend to trust the five-person walkers."
Wu Sheng didn't even bother to ask what Qing Shu's attitude was. He was more concerned about Huang Yue: "Where is Huang Yue? What's his attitude?"
Wang Nang thought carefully and then replied: "I don't know. In these days, Deacon Huang has never had a clear attitude."
Wu Sheng asked: "Where are you in Xinzheng? How did Peng Li receive you when he was walking in Xinzheng? How much gift money did he give?"
Wang Nang frowned: "This... is a personal matter, I'm afraid it's difficult to answer."
Wu Sheng said: "Master Wang, you should know that this is by no means a personal matter. It will have a major impact on the conclusion of the entire investigation. We have said it tonight, so let us be honest to the end."
Wang Nang sighed and murmured in a low voice: "Two golds, two golds per person, including a piece of gold and a black ginseng pill worth one gold."
This result surprised Wu Sheng. He thought he heard wrongly: "How much?"
Wang Nang said: "Two gold for each person."
Wu Sheng was stunned and asked curiously: "Are you so petty?"
Wang Nang said sarcastically: "We are here to investigate this matter, not to collect money."
Wu Sheng smiled and did not refute him face to face. How much was collected by Suicheng, how much was collected by Jiujiang, how much was collected by Shangcai, and how much was collected by Yingdu. Several schools have divided the work, and the main parties involved are Sui Yue. , the rest of the families followed suit, but even the least interested Shang Cai, Cai Zhang's little intention was more than just two gold.
Wu Sheng was very wealthy and planned to prepare a gift worth ten gold for Huang Yue. Wang Bang was more discerning today, so he would naturally have a share of the gift, but Qing Shu would definitely not be able to get it.
Comparing the two, Wu Sheng felt relieved.
"Very good. It seems that there is no deep-rooted hatred between Alchemist Wang and Sun. You and I can stop being enemies. Alchemist Wang, I am optimistic about you. Your future will be brighter, brighter than Qingshu!" Wu Sheng concluded.
