After the Fairy Disappeared - Chapter 538
Cheng Yu shook his head honestly.
Although he asked Hundred Faces Nightmare to deal with He Lingchuan, he didn’t know what the victim looked like.
“The person you wanted to kill but didn’t kill.”
Cheng Yu’s eyes widened suddenly.
Bai Ziqi noticed that he looked at He Lingchuan not only with resentment, but also with surprise.
This subconscious expression can best explain the problem.
He Lingchuan also smiled at Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu swallowed.
Fu Shanyue continued to ask: “Tell me honestly, did Cen Boqing instigate you to do this?”
Cheng Yu’s voice was weak: “Yes.”
His face was as white as a ghost, and he might faint at any time, but his eyes were always on He Lingchuan.
Fu Shanyue clapped his hands: “Okay, okay. Just admit it! Envoy Bai heard it.”
His question was really good, and Bai Ziqi was about to continue asking, when He Lingchuan suddenly said: “Cen Boqing’s wife is coming here.”
“How did you cast the curse… um, what did you say?”
“Cen Boqing’s mother-in-law, Da Sinonong’s eldest daughter, Yao Xingning!” Fu Shanyue pointed to the northeast direction, “She just arrived in Baisha, and rushed into Cen’s residence regardless of Lu Dutong’s men. I guess, then In less than half an hour, she can rush here.”
Cen’s Mansion is still some distance away from the county government, but Fushan is coming, so is Yao Xingning.
Bai Ziqi frowned suddenly: “What a coincidence?”
“Otherwise, why would I come to report in the middle of the night?” Fu Shanyue clicked his tongue twice, “If she rushes into the county government office to find her husband, I’m afraid the surname Cen will not be so easy to plead guilty.”
Time is precious, Bai Ziqi pondered for a while, then turned his head to face Fan Sheng who was standing beside the bed, and said:
“Commander Fan, please lead someone to guard the gate of the county government. During the interrogation, no one is allowed to enter!”
“Anyone” three words, bite the accent.
He Lingchuan clearly saw the reluctance on Fan Sheng’s face, but he still answered “Yes” and strode out.
He was a little curious, what kind of overbearing is the eldest daughter of the chief minister who can make Prince Chiyan and Du Yun a headache, and the deputy commander of Tongxinwei is reluctant?
Bai Ziqi moved forward and said, “Let’s try Cen Boqing first.”
Fu Shanyue readily agreed.
Everyone went to the county jail. He Lingchuan glanced back and saw two guards entering the cubicle and closing the door behind them.
Before the prison door closed, He Lingchuan seemed to hear the sound of rumbling horseshoes coming from the end of the long street.
Just now, he and Fu Shanyue came here in such a hurry.
Bai Ziqi casually placed a barrier to insulate the inside and outside of the room, so as not to cause unnecessary noise to come in later.
Cen Boqing squatted in the prison closest to the window.
Considering his special status, County Magistrate Tian arranged for him a single cell, on the second basement floor, with only one passageway in and out.
There are beds and chairs in the cell, the floor is clean, obviously just cleaned; the water is clean, but he hasn’t touched it.
Cen Boqing sat on the chair with a decadent expression on his face.
The three of them came in, and the head of the cell moved some chairs, and was about to speak, when Fu Shanyue waved him away, leaving only one person to testify.
Compared to Cheng Yu’s tragic situation, Cen Boqing was not injured internally and externally, but his expression was depressed and his eyes were dull.
With all the witnesses and material evidence, and Du Yunshi personally arresting him, he knew that his end was doomed.
Even if his father-in-law Da Sinong intervened to intercede, it would probably be useless.
When he saw Bai Ziqi, he bowed his head: “This has nothing to do with Da Si Nong, and my wife and my wife don’t know anything about it.”
“You’re still a man.” Bai Ziqi sighed, “If I knew today, why bother?”
Fu Shanyue crossed his arms and said: “I think you are so cowardly, and you don’t seem to be in charge. Is there someone instigated by your superiors? Confess! You are not the main culprit, so the crime will be lighter!”
Cen Boqing bowed his head: “Uncle Wu is responsible for collecting and selling pearls. I, I seldom take care of them. If you want to check, you can start from the Qingfu Temple. Uncle Wu’s beads are sold there. I know the temple. They also sell the medicine of elixir.”
“Zhong Sunmou just listened to your introduction and went to Qingfu Temple to buy the elixir?”
Cen Boqing nodded.
“You’ve never seen a medicine refiner, except that Miao Zhu from Qingfu Temple whose surname is Hu?”
“Yes.” Cen Boqing immediately said, “If you catch Hu, you will definitely be able to track it down…”
Bai Ziqi interrupted him: “Just a few days ago, the Qingfu Temple caught fire. The flames were so blazing that they couldn’t be extinguished, and it was burned to ashes within two quarters of an hour. More than a hundred people in the temple did not escape.”
Cen Boqing opened his mouth, and all the blood on his face disappeared.
All, all silenced?
“Coincidentally, it was the second day after Chiyan King wrote to Lingxu.” Bai Ziqi glanced at Fu Shanyue. If his father hadn’t been in a hurry to reveal the case, and he hadn’t done it skillfully, Qingfu Temple should be doing well now, right?
To scare the snake away, alas.
“So, the case is stuck with you.” Bai Ziqi patiently said to Cen Bo, “Do you know what this means?”
Means that all punishment will fall on oneself? Cen Boqing froze for a while, shaking his head so fast that he fell off the ground: “No, no, I’m really not the mastermind, and I haven’t even touched the beads a few times! These affairs are all handled by Uncle Wu, you should interrogate him, interrogate him! There must be something to gain !”
“Oh?” Bai Ziqi guided him, “Uncle Wu has long argued that he also obeys orders.”
“Even if he obeys orders, he doesn’t necessarily only obey my orders!” Cen Boqing said anxiously, “I took over the bead business from my father, and Uncle Wu was in charge at that time; after I took over, also, It’s the same, I don’t need to worry about it at ordinary times! He is the one who handles everything, so what can I know?”
He was afraid that Bai Ziqi would not believe him, so he swore to heaven.
Bai Ziqi fell silent.
At this time, a guard of Fan Sheng came down from above, and whispered something in Bai Ziqi’s ear.
Bai Ziqi frowned slightly: “Understood, fifteen minutes.”
The guard left quickly.
He Lingchuan and Fu Shanyue looked at each other, knowing that it was probably Fan Sheng from outside who came to report.
Bai Ziqi meant to let him hold on for at least another quarter of an hour.
Fu Shanyue continued: “With Cen Bo’s clear nature, he really doesn’t look like the person in charge…”
Cen Boqing nodded his head like pounding garlic.
“…On the other hand, Wu Kai acts cautiously and shrewdly, and is in charge of the overall situation. It seems to use their father and son as a cover to engage in these illegal activities. Mai Xuewen can plot against Wu Kai, so why can’t Wu Kai plot against his own master?” Fu Shanyue Ask Cen Boqing, “How did Wu Kai come to Cen’s residence?”
“My father said that more than 20 years ago, the old housekeeper resigned from illness and returned to his hometown. He recommended Uncle Wu to him, saying that he is capable and reliable in his work.”
Fu Shanyue teased: “It is indeed powerful and reliable, so that you don’t have to worry about anything, and finally die in a daze.”
He Lingchuan asked: “The Cen family went from poverty to prosperity again, after Uncle Wu came?”
Cen Boqing thought about it and nodded.
“That is to say, your father let Uncle Wu take care of this from the very beginning…” He Lingchuan originally wanted to talk about business, “Business. When he first came to Cen’s residence.”
The business of killing Beka monsters and refining elixir with nectar beads.
This is like a big company recruiting newcomers. The newcomers directly control the company’s core secrets on the first day of work, and then start to handle tens of millions of business.
What’s more, the business of hunting monsters and fetching pearls is a high-profit business accompanied by high risks. Father Cen directly entrusts it to a stranger to take charge of it.
Mai Xuewen was kind to Uncle Wu for “saving his life”. Uncle Wu tested him for three years before he dared to recruit him as the core backbone.
“So your father knows very well where Uncle Wu came from.”
Bai Ziqi glanced at He Lingchuan approvingly: “Good analysis.”
In a few words, the suspiciousness was stripped away.
This young man can see the flaws with his eyes. Cen Boqing is a man in his decades, can he be kept in the dark all the time?
“I…” Cen Boqing said, “This is all from the past. Every time I wanted to ask, my father scolded me for talking too much, saying that I didn’t know well. As a result, his death was too sudden, and he still couldn’t solve the mystery for me. ”
“You said that the business of hunting monsters and getting pearls is controlled by Uncle Wu alone.” Bai Ziqi said, “You were very decisive in cursing and killing Uncle Wu yesterday evening. Without him, you would not have done a bad job.”
Cen Boqing looked bewildered: “What evening curse? It wasn’t me!”
Huh?
“Yesterday evening…” Bai Ziqi witnessed Wu Bo’s evil curse with his own eyes, and was saved by Fu Shanyue.
“Cheng Yu said that we only have one chance, and it’s best to use our strength at night.” Cen Boqing shook his head like a wave drum, “We were definitely not the ones who performed the spell last night. Uncle Wu may have other enemies!”
“…” Bai Ziqi was thoughtful, and glanced at Fu Shanyue beside him.
Now that I think about it, the timing of Uncle Wu’s curse last night seems to be too coincidental. The envoy of Lingxu City just found the prince and the more he understood the situation, Wu Kai couldn’t do it anymore, and then he confessed in front of envoy Du Yun.
Bai Ziqi originally wanted to go to the Cen Mansion to find out the situation, but now that it’s all right, he changed it to arresting people directly, and this was the reason for the subsequent series of roundups.
So, who planted the spell on Wu Kai?
Following his gaze, Fu Shanyue looked pensive: “If it’s not Cheng Yu, who else could it be?”
He Lingchuan secretly gave him a thumbs up:
Like, really like.
The magicians under Fu Shanyue also know some spells, not as good as Cheng Yu, but it is not difficult to cast a spell when Wu Kai is trapped.
It was too slow to wait for Cen Boqing and Cheng Yu to act, so they might as well do it themselves.
As long as the timing is chosen well, Wu Kai is not afraid that he will not confess.
He Lingchuan asked Cen Boqing again: “When I caught Wu Kai back, I found that several amulets on him were broken. It seems that he has been under the curse all the time, but Cheng Yu did it last night.” He Lingchuan continued , “After Wu Kai was arrested, he was given a cultivation base. Anyone can curse him.”
Bai Ziqi looked at Cen Boqing: “Why didn’t you let Cheng Yu make a move earlier?”
Cheng Yu made his move earlier, and the witnesses died suddenly. How could they end up like this?
In Bai Ziqi’s view, Cen Boqing’s indecision killed him.
Cen Boqing smiled wryly: “Cheng Yu claims that his soul is too hurt, and leaving the customs early will not help me.”
Everything is a mistake.
Bai Ziqi was also a little emotional, and asked him again: “Wu Uncle Wu also did it to blame Fu Songhua?”
“Yes, he is completely in charge!”
