Chapter 49:
The Qifeng Gorge was a road that the Xu Family must pass through to transport goods, and not many people passed through it in the past, this news was extremely unfavorable to the Xu Family.
"Elder Kong, now that the evidence is conclusive, Shi Baojun's mysterious disappearance, the Xu family is the most suspected, please order Elder Kong to take away the relevant people of the Xu family, please ask for Your Majesty's holy judgment."
Xue Chunyu bent down and bowed, the final decision was in the hands of Elder Kong.
"Servant Xue, you spit blood!"
Xu Yilin was so angry that he spewed out a mouthful of blood, all the deacons, righteously indignant, but could not say anything, everyone understood in their hearts that the investigation team needed an excuse, needed a scapegoat, the Xu family was the most suitable.
The Xu family is the most suitable. When Shi Baojun disappears, someone has to take the blame.
Xue Chunyu had a cold smile on his face and did not answer Xu Yilin, waiting for Kong Lao to reply.
"What do you guys think?"
Elder Kong did not answer Xue Chunyu directly and looked towards Bai Qiu and also the three of them, Gao Hao, to hear their opinions.
"Back to Elder Kong, after speculation, although there is no real evidence, this matter is somehow related to the Xu family, the last place where Shi Baojun disappeared was in the Qifeng Gorge, and the Xu family caravan passed by that day, I suggest taking away the guards who were transporting the goods on that day, and escorting them into the Imperial Capital, and then the Ministry of Criminal Affairs will scrutinize the case, this would be more appropriate, and if the Xu family is indeed innocent, it is just a matter of releasing them back."
Chen Lu, who hadn't said anything, opened his mouth, he was a member of the imperial family, neither representing the officialdom, nor the military, nor the Imperial Academy.
"I agree with Lord Chen, Shi Brejun's crossbow arrows have appeared in the Qifeng Gorge, the Xu family has an inextricable involvement, the relevant people, all of them, should be taken away."
Bai Qiu agreed with Chen Lu's approach, and was first detained in the prison, waiting for the Ministry of Justice to thoroughly scrutinize it once before making a decision.
To the Imperial City, the Xu family's life and death, can no longer be controlled by themselves, life and death all depends on their words.
"What does Tutor Gao mean?"
Gao Hao did not take a stance, every year, the Imperial Academy had trainees who left to join the army or return to their place of origin, the soldiers who died, left the academy a few years ago, this time, he was sent here, but it was just a walk in the park.
"I keep silent!"
This was Gao Hao's attitude, neither supporting Xue Chunyu nor the Xu family, staying out of it.
The next attitude of Elder Kong was especially important, as long as he said one word, he could decide the fate of the Xu family, Deacon Lan and the others' breathing stopped, the Xu family had just picked up, and the Arms Workshop was revitalized.
The mineral veins were arranged to guard the mountain array, no longer needing to worry about being attacked, the entire Xu family was developing at a high speed.
"Lord Danbao Pavilion has arrived!"
At this moment, an announcement came from outside, and Dan Bao Pavilion Master Bi Gongyu walked in with large strides, not even having time to announce himself as he crossed into the great hall.
"Mister Bi took the liberty of coming to disturb, please forgive me, Family Master Xu."
Cupping his fists towards Xu Yilin, he then looked over towards Kong Lao, they should not be strangers to each other.
"The late Bi Gongyu greets Elder Kong!"
Bending down and bowing, he then nodded towards the four Xue Chunyu, as a greeting, the Danbao Pavilion had an extremely high status, and Bi Gongyu was the head of a pavilion, it was even more extraordinary.
"What is Bi Gongyu's reason for coming, we are investigating the news of Shi Baojun's disappearance."
Xue Chunyu was a little displeased, Bi Gongyu suddenly came, interrupting their rhythm, just short of Kong Lao's words, the mission of the investigation mission, even if it was a complete success.
Only Liu Wu Xie, a smile surfaced at the corner of his mouth, not feeling any surprise at Bi Gongyu's arrival, looking over towards his father-in-law, giving him a reassuring look, telling him not to worry.
"I've come for the matter of Shi Baojun's disappearance, bringing some useful information that I hope will be helpful to all of you."
Bi Gongyu took out a list of materials from his arms and placed it on the table.
Everyone's gazes, all of them, looked over, and on it were written the names of many spirit medicines.
"As we all know, our Danbao Pavilion is researching a new medicine, Prince Wuxi's talent is outstanding, that day I was not in Canglan City, I discussed the art of alchemy with Grandmaster Huo, ten days ago they had some exchanges, and they researched a new kind of elixir, there are still a few materials missing, and Prince Wuxi is willing to go to the Sunset Mountain Range to collect them."
"This elixir only grows in the Twin Towers Mountain, from Canglan City, a round trip is five or six days, this is the herbs he brought back yesterday, please see."
The matter of Liu Wu Xie's trip to Dan Bao Ge yesterday must not have been hidden from them, it had long been investigated.
Including his whereabouts ten days ago, Liu Wu Xie traveling to Dan Bao Ge and sending the Heavenly Spirit Pill over, all of this information, the investigation group grasped it clearly, every word Bi Gong Yu said was true.
Everyone froze, Danbao Pavilion actually stood up for the Xu family, clarifying that Liu Wu Xie had no connection to this matter.
"Palace Master Bi, do you realize that every word you say is related to the life and death of Shi Baojun."
Xue Chunyu's eyes were cold, in awe of the Danbao Pavilion, but not in fear.
"On the report in your hands, everyone's every move in Canglan City recently should have a detailed record, just look through it, I value Duke Liu's talent, I don't want to be framed by someone, please be careful."
Bi Gongyu's attitude is very tough, out of everyone's expectations, the investigation results will soon be settled, Dan Baoge intervened, in the end, what do you want to do, as he said, valuing Liu Wu Xie talent?
What a joke.
They, the big shots, would care if these little people live or die.
"Even if Shi Baojun has no connection with him, what about the matter of the Qifeng Gorge, the Xu Family's convoy passed by the Qifeng Gorge, and the arrow marks left behind by Shi Baojun were here, dare I say that the Xu Family has no knowledge of it."
Xue Chunyu took a step back and exterminated the Xu Family, leaving one Liu Wu Xie, who could be exterminated by raising his hand and lifting his foot.
Bi Gongyu's main purpose was to preserve Liu WuXi, he hadn't really considered this matter, his brows slightly knitted, he also didn't expect that the Xu family had become the last to take the blame, and looking at this situation, the investigation team's opinions had already reached a unity.
Preserving Liu Wu Xie is equal to preserving the Heavenly Spirit Pill, under the nest, how can there be an egg, losing the Xu family, how can Liu Wu Xie be left alone.
"Canglan City Lord has arrived!"
A lanky silhouette, quickly entered the hall, things were in a flurry of twists and turns, first the Danbao Pavilion Lord appeared, even the City Lord Qi Enshi came, the Xu family was baffled.
In front of the three investigations, up to two hours, at this time the sky has darkened, has come to the lamp time, a full three hours past, the results have not come out.
Outside the Xu family gate, gathered many scouts, a large number of news passed out, everyone is guessing whether the Xu family can get through this hurdle.
"Student pays his respects to Elder Kong, fellow colleagues."
Qi Enshi bent down and bowed, having listened to Elder Kong's lessons back then, addressing him as a student, he could say that he had gotten by, and when he looked at the Danbao Pavilion Master, he revealed a hint of dismay.
"Brother Qi, what are you doing here, could it be that you are also here to investigate the matter of Shi Brejun?"
Xue Chunyu asked suspiciously, the tiny Xu Family had attracted the Danbao Pavilion Master to come to his door to clarify, and Qi Enshi had come again, unable to feel his way.
"I came to prove the Xu Family's innocence, the Xu Family's caravan was attacked by mysterious bandits for days, the Xu Family's Lord found me and asked the City Lord's Office to send in troops and sweep away the bandits. As a City Lord, when something like mountain bandits appear in the territory, of course we cannot just sit back and watch, we sent people to investigate the truth, and according to our investigation, that group of mysterious mountain bandits, long ago, half a month ago, had already left the Sunset Mountain Range."
After Qi Enshi finished speaking, he looked over towards Xu Yilin and winked, signaling him not to speak, this was to absolve the Xu family.
Xu Yilin was confused, when had he ever approached the City Lord's Office.
Xue Chunyu looked dumbfounded!
Bai Qiu's eyes shrank!
Bi Gongyu's eyes lit up!
......
Everyone's expression was different, Qi Enshi actually took the initiative to come forward and prove the Xu family's innocence, the arrow marks left behind by the Qifeng Gorge, that was many days ago, the Xu family caravan, did not encounter bandits, and returned to Canglan City without any problems.
"Brother Qi, do you know what you're talking about!"
Xue Chunyu took a deep breath, the city lord's words still carried a lot of weight, continuing to sanction the Xu family, it was not justifiable in the eyes of the beholder, coupled with the Danbao Pavilion stepping in, it made the investigative team have to reconsider.
"I haven't finished my words yet, according to my investigation, the Wolf Tooth Mercenary Corps left Canglan City a few days ago, and the disappearance of Shi Brejun is inextricably linked to them."
Qi Enshi took out a report with records of the Wolf Tooth Mercenary Corps' various misdeeds.
The hall fell into a silence, the investigation was in a deadlock, the Xu family was completely free from suspicion, according to the report provided by Qi Enshi, the disappearance of Shi Baojun, in all probability, was the work of the Wolf Fang.
Wolf Fang's fifth level of Spirit Cleansing, having the ability to exterminate Shi Baojun, it was reasonable.
"Elder Kong, what do you say?"
Xue Chunyu's face was terribly gloomy as he asked in a low voice towards Elder Kong whether to continue the investigation.
Kong Lao swept his gaze across the crowd, never saying much since the beginning, his body suddenly stood up and bowed with both hands, "Master Xu, much disturbance."
After saying this, he walked towards the outside of the hall, and with these words, the Xu family, as if they were relieved.
Xue Chunyu wanted to say something more, but couldn't get a word out, and shook his hand fiercely, and when he was saying goodbye, his gaze landed on Liu Wu Xie's face, with an expression of looking at a dead person.
"Elder Kong take your time!"
Qi Enshi did not leave the grand hall, remaining in place as the Xu Family's senior management collectively sent Elder Kong off.
In the great hall, only three people remained, Bi Gongyu, Qi Enshi, and Liu Wu Xie.
"Mr. Liu, I won't disturb you, we'll talk when we have the chance."
Bi Gongyu got up, arched his hand, and left alone.
"Sir Liu, you had the things delivered!"
Only the two of them were left in the great hall, Qi Enshi, with a gloomy face, suddenly asked.
"How do you conclude that the things must have been sent by me."
Liu Wu Xie was tantamount to admitting that the things were sent by him to the City Lord's Mansion, he was just curious that Qi En Shi didn't go to his father-in-law and found himself directly.
"Tell me, where is Zhou Hu now?"
Qi Enshi was too lazy to babble with him, with a little use of his brain he could guess that the package was sent by Liu Wu Xie, Xu Yilin had never left Canglan City.
It was even more frightening that the people sent by the Wan Family and the Tian Family had lost contact for several days, and during this time, Liu Wu Xie had stayed in the mountains.
Qi Enshi can be sure that the Wolf's Teeth and the Tian and Wan families, can never come back, planted to the dead, the most appropriate.
The only thing that made Qi Enshi puzzled, so many experts, how did they disappear, did they all die at the hands of Liu Wu Xie? Quickly shook his head, denying his thoughts, there was only one possibility, behind Liu Wu Xie, stood a strong man, secretly protecting him.
From a waste, suddenly rise, without someone secretly pointing, never possible.
On the way here, Qi Enshi had analyzed this countless times and finally came to this conclusion.
"You want to know?" Liu Wu Xie let out a soft laugh, "But who am I to tell you."
