Chapter 532: Disappearance of Cen Boqing
Mirror was not convinced: "Hey, hey, what did I say wrong?" He was actually lectured by a 17 or 18-year-old kid!
"You just ignored the most powerful force in Lingxu City?"
"Ah?" Mirror asked in surprise, "Which one?"
"God."
"...Ah!" Mirror was embarrassed.
He Lingchuan said calmly: "Bai Ziqi, who was on a business trip, was directly ordered to handle this case. Just look at how hasty the appointment was and how quickly he came. It is known that the Demon Emperor may not have discussed it with all parties and directly issued an order. Otherwise, it would take ten days and half a month to finish. If there is really a struggle between the parties, this time the God has undoubtedly won."
"Is it because of the elixir of immortality?"
"Well, Xiang Yan said that the elixir of immortality is the reverse scale of the God of Heaven, and he has been furious for this matter before." He Lingchuan shrugged, "It doesn't seem strange to happen again."
"We must find out the attitude of the God of Heaven, which is very beneficial to us." He said again, "The gods also want to get to the bottom of the private refining of the immortality medicine, which coincides with ours! As for the rest, we won't see the big or small, maybe it will save us a lot of trouble."
"Once Wu Kai confesses, Cen Boqing will have no excuse." Mirror asked him, "What trouble do we have?"
"Why not?" He Lingchuan sighed, but did not go into details, "But you are right about one thing. If this Bai Dushi takes over the case, the pressure from Lingxu City will mainly be transferred to his shoulders. Ha, he can handle it. This is great news for us."
Thinking of this, he breathed more smoothly.
...
When He Lingchuan returned to the inn, Bai Ziqi was interrogating Wu Kai again.
Because he cooperated with the investigation before, Wu Kai also had a full meal, took two pills, and changed his clothes, and his physical condition improved greatly.
When Bai Ziqi entered the cellar, Wu Kai was holding a large pot of chicken soup and gurgling non-stop.
This is an old hen and crucian carp stewed for an hour or so. The soup is milky white, the meat is tender and the bones are crispy, and there is a strong pepper flavor.
Wu Kai has been on the run for many days and tortured for two days. He is in urgent need of nutrition.
He is willing to risk it. He will die sooner or later anyway, so he might as well eat and drink well now.
"What means did Cen Boqing use to escape from the mansion without being noticed?"
He Lingchuan simply asked: "Last time, how did you rescue Cheng Yu from under my nose?"
Wu Kai put down the soup bowl and wiped his mouth: "The Cen Mansion has a treasure called Xili Cave Heaven, which is only the size of a palm and was bought from Songyang Mansion. It is solidified with mustard seed technique. As long as it is activated by black crystal, living things can be hidden in the cave for half an hour. But the same person cannot hide twice within two hours, otherwise the body will collapse because it cannot withstand the compression of the mustard seed technique."
"Mustard seed technique!" He Lingchuan knew that the dish was spoiled when he heard the three words "Songyang Mansion".
On the way to Xiazhou to take up his post, He Chunhua met Li Qingge by chance. He took out a small courtyard model and threw it on the ground, which became a real house, where people could be taken in to shelter from the wind and rain, eat, sleep and play cards.
She said clearly that this magical power had limited volume and weight for external objects, so it could not be used in logistics marches.
But it was not a problem to take a few people in.
The mustard seed space she used for herself was of course the best, with evergreen trees and no restrictions on living people entering and leaving; and Cen Boqing's Xili Cave Heaven was obviously a reduced version.
He Lingchuan said unhappily: "Why didn't you say it before?"
It seems that Cen Boqing's previous attempts to break through were all to openly repair the plank road, letting Fu Shanyue know that he was still in the mansion and lower his guard; until the crisis really came, the two of them secretly crossed the Chencang Pass.
This Cen guy is not as bad as everyone thinks.
Wu Kai looked innocent: "I didn't know he could use it either."
Bai Ziqi thought further: "Even if he and Cheng Yu hid in Xili Cave Heaven, they had to find someone to take the magic weapon out of the mansion." Otherwise, if the magic weapon was left in the mansion, it would be found by the soldiers sooner or later.
Don't forget, the time limit for collecting people is only half an hour. "Except you, who does Cen Boqing trust the most in the mansion?"
"The groom Lao Chen." Wu Kai thought without hesitation, "His wife had an emergency and almost died. It was the wife who personally asked a famous doctor to help. Lao Chen was grateful and always worked hard for Cen Boqing and his wife. Cen Boqing would always use Lao Chen to drive when he went out."
"Go to Cen's mansion and find this person to search and question him."
Bai Ziqi turned around and gave an order, and a guard turned around and left.
He asked Wu Kai again: "Besides the Xili Cave Heaven, what other strange magical instruments does Cen Boqing have?"
Wu Kai thought for a while: "He wears a red jade ring on the ring finger of his left hand, which can release two wolf puppets. This is made of two tundra wolf kings, with copper skin and iron bones, infinite strength, and no pain. This is a gift from the Tuhun envoy two years ago."
"There is also a rhizome of Linglong Zhenguo. As long as it is buried in the soil and watered with clean water, it can grow into a fruit tree within two quarters of an hour. Each fruit can feed one person. Depending on the fertility of the soil, each tree can produce dozens to two hundred fruits. The fruits can be stored."
Bai Ziqi said: "He has a lot of private goods. This thing is best used when marching or in exile."
Wu Kai said two or three more things in a row, and then said: "He brought out from Lingxu City, probably so much."
He Lingchuan was convinced after hearing this. Cen Boqing is indeed a noble son from Lingxu City. The treasures he casually took out are all high-end. This is only the small amount he brought with him. The bulk of the items left in Lingxu City are actually the ones left.
Bai Ziqi's face was indifferent. With his wide knowledge, he didn't think these were anything special: "No more? Think about it carefully. Are there any secret treasures that are shameful to show?"
Wu Kai thought about it for a long time before shaking his head: "That's all I know."
As soon as he finished speaking, a crescent-shaped amulet around his neck snapped.
Wu Kai felt this, and took out the token given to him by Fushan Yue from his arms. He saw the token glowing red, and his Yuanli did not know when it would activate on its own.
"Cheng Yu has started work." He Lingchuan coughed, "This man is really unyielding and has to kill you."
"It's Cen Boqing who insists on killing his old servant." Bai Ziqi looked at the broken amulet, "This man is very good at spells. You have several magical powers and magic circle protection, and he can still break the amulet. "
He Lingchuan pretended to ask: "Shouldn't they be busy escaping now? How come Cheng Yu still has time to do something?"
"That means Cen Boqing is very confident that we can't find him." Bai Ziqi took a breath, "They may have fled to a place they thought was safe, and Cen Boqing couldn't wait to curse the witness - he didn't even know I was here. , and reviewed Wu Kai."
If the Lingxu City envoy did not come and Wu Kai died at the hands of Fu Shanyue, then no matter how he confessed during his lifetime, the Cen family could deny it - just say that it was a false confession.
Therefore, Cen Boqing is still obsessed with silencing him.
Bai Ziqi glanced at Wu Kai: "Whether this person is dead or alive, it won't hinder the progress of the case."
But Wu Kai was afraid: "Cheng Yu can curse the king of a country to death, but I'm afraid you can't protect me!"
He Lingchuan was secretly amused. Cheng Yu's best achievement, the so-called "curse to kill the king of a country", was actually with the help of the power of the Hundred-faced Nightmare, right? Although he didn't quite know how Bai Mian did it, the power of this monster did remain fresh in his memory.
Cheng Yu alone might not be able to accomplish such a feat.
Bai Ziqi took out a jade-carved Ganoderma lucidum from his arms. It was very finely carved, about the size of a thumb, and exuded a warm white halo.
"This is the heart-cleansing talisman that has been blessed by the gods in the Star Reaching Tower. It can make the wearer immune to all evil." As soon as this thing was taken out, the three people present immediately felt relaxed and happy, and even breathed easily, "Buyi Cheng Yu is just a mere Spells, not to mention.”
Wu Kai swallowed his saliva as he looked at the Heart-dissolving Talisman.
Although he knew that he would die when he returned to Lingxu City, life became precious once the countdown began, and he did not want to die in the limited time.
Besides, the process of being cursed was too painful. He had experienced it before and didn't want to do it again.
"C-can you..."
Bai Ziqi smiled and said: "Your previous confession was not entirely true. If you tell the truth, I will give you the Heart Purification Talisman."
Wu Kai was startled: "I, everything I said is true."
"You said you don't know who is refining the elixir in Qingfu Temple. That's impossible." Bai Ziqi said calmly, "The business Cen Boqing and you are doing is very risky, and they both keep their heads in their belts. How are you doing? Maybe you can’t figure out who your superiors are, so you continue to cooperate with them?”
Wu Kai said: "This has been like this since Master Cen's time. He wouldn't let us interfere, saying that knowing too much would bring disaster."
Bai Ziqi chuckled: "The work you do will not lead to disaster?"
Wu Kai smiled bitterly: "I really don't know."
Bai Ziqi studied his expression carefully, as if to judge the authenticity of his words, and then said: "Then tell me, why did you recruit a evil star like Mai Xuewen to work under you?"
"Ten years ago, I went to Yaoshan to do business and was hit by a flood. Fortunately, Mai Xuewen rescued me. He said that he was also a homeless outlaw and was framed by traitors in the Mang Kingdom. After killing his enemy, he went into exile in Bejia. I’m doing some business overtly and covertly, which makes me a little depressed.”
"I have been traveling with him for more than two months. Seeing that he has good cultivation and a righteous person, I invited him to work in the white sandy Numata Township."
He Lingchuan crossed his arms: "You welcome the tiger in so easily?"
"It's not that fast. I asked him to run serious business in Numata Township, and there was nothing shady about it. After three years of observation, his business profits have increased a lot. I saw that he is indeed capable, and his tone of voice He was worried and gradually felt relieved, so he asked him to take care of the pearl pearl business in Chiyan Kingdom. The group he was responsible for always completed the task the fastest and best, and didn't cause any trouble. Mozi, I became more and more confident about him, so I relaxed my vigilance, and let him know some things..."
Speaking of this, Wu Kai let out a long sigh: "How could I know that this is the disaster star coming to our door?"
It sounded to He Lingchuan that Wu Kai was careful enough. After observing a person for more than three years, I decided to let him get in touch with the core business.
It's a pity that he met the weirdo Mai Xuewen.
