Chapter 49

Tie Ma Fei Qiao
Qifeng Gorge is the only way for the Xu family to transport goods, and not many people usually pass by. This news is extremely unfavorable to the Xu family.
"Mr. Kong, now the evidence is solid. Shi Pojun mysteriously disappeared, and the Xu family is the most suspected. Please order Mr. Kong to take away the relevant people of the Xu family. Your Majesty, please judge."
Xue Chunyu bent down and bowed, the final decision was in Kong Lao's hands.
"Xue Shilang, you are spitting blood!"
Xu Yilin spat out a mouthful of blood, all the deacons were filled with righteous indignation, but they couldn't speak. Everyone knew in their hearts that the investigation team needed an excuse and a scapegoat, and the Xu family was the most suitable one.
When Shi Pojun disappeared, someone must be blamed.
Xue Chunyu sneered, but did not answer Xu Yilin, waiting for Kong Lao's reply.
"What do you think?"
Kong Lao didn't answer Xue Chunyu directly, but looked at Baiqiu and Gao Hao to listen to their opinions.
"Back to Mr. Kong, after deliberation, although there is no real evidence, this matter has something to do with the Xu family. The place where Shi Pojun disappeared last was in Qifeng Gorge. The Xu family's convoy passed by here again that day. I suggest taking away the guards who delivered the goods that day. It is more appropriate to be imprisoned in the imperial capital and then reviewed by the Ministry of Punishment, if the Xu family is indeed innocent, it will be released."
Chen Lu, who had been silent all this time, spoke up. He is a member of the imperial family, neither representing the government, nor the army, nor the Imperial College.
"I agree with Mr. Chen's statement. Shi Pojun's crossbow and arrows have appeared in Qifeng Gorge. The Xu family has inseparable ties. The relevant people must be taken away."
Baiqiu agreed with Chen Lu's approach, and put him in prison first, and waited for a thorough review by the Ministry of Punishment before making a decision.
When they arrived in the imperial capital, the life and death of the Xu family could no longer be controlled by themselves. Life and death depended on their words.
"What does Instructor Gao mean?"
Gao Hao did not express his position. Every year, Imperial College students leave to join the army, or return to their place of origin. Those soldiers who died left the college a few years ago. Sending him this time is just a process.
"I keep silent!"
This is Gao Hao's attitude, neither supporting Xue Chunyu nor the Xu family, staying out of the matter.
Next, Kong Lao's attitude is particularly important, as long as he says a word, the fate of the Xu family can be decided. Deacon Lan and others almost stopped breathing. The Xu family has just improved, and the weapons workshop has regained its vitality.
The mine veins are set up to guard the mountain, and there is no need to worry about being attacked by others. The entire Xu family is developing at a high speed.
"Pavilion Master Danbao is here!"
At this time, there was a sound of announcement from outside, and Bi Gongyu, the master of Danbao Pavilion, walked in with big strides, and stepped into the hall without even having time to announce.
"Bi took the liberty of coming to disturb me, and please forgive me, Patriarch Xu."
He cupped his fists at Xu Yilin, and then looked at Mr. Kong. They should be no strangers to each other.
"Junior Bi Gongyu has met Mr. Kong!"
He bent down and bowed, and then nodded to Xue Chunyu and the others as a greeting. The Danbao Pavilion has a very high status, and Bi Gongyu is the master of a pavilion, which is even more extraordinary.
"Why did Palace Master Bi come here? We are investigating the news of Shi Pojun's disappearance."
Xue Chunyu was a little displeased. Bi Gongyu's sudden arrival interrupted their rhythm, and only a word from Kong Lao said that the mission of the investigation team was considered a complete success.
Only Liu Wuxie, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, didn't feel any surprise about Bi Gongyu's arrival. He looked at his father-in-law and gave him a reassuring look so that he wouldn't have to worry.
"I came here to bring some useful information about Shi Pojun's disappearance. I hope it will be helpful to everyone."
Bi Gongyu took out a material list from his arms and put it on the table.
Everyone looked at it, and there were many names of elixir written on it.
"As we all know, our Danbao Pavilion is researching new medicines. Mr. Wuxie is very talented. I was not in Canglan City that day, and I was discussing alchemy techniques with Master Huo. Ten days ago, they exchanged ideas and developed a new kind of medicine. A few ingredients, Mr. Wu Xie is willing to go to the Sunset Mountains to collect them."
"This elixir only grows on Shuangta Mountain. Starting from Canglan City, it takes five or six days to go back and forth. This is the medicinal material he brought back yesterday. Please take a look."
The fact that Liu Wuxie went to the Danbao Pavilion yesterday must have been hidden from them, and it had been investigated long ago.
Including the whereabouts ten days ago, Liu Wuxie went to the Danbao Pavilion and sent the Tianling Pill to the past. The investigation team has a clear grasp of this information, and everything Bi Gongyu said is true.
Everyone was stunned, but Dan Baoge stood up for the Xu family and clarified that Liu Wuxie had nothing to do with this matter.
"Master Bi, do you know that every word you say is related to the life and death of Shi Pojun."
Xue Chunyu's eyes turned cold, he was in awe of Danbao Pavilion, but not afraid.
"In the report in your hands, everyone in Canglan City should have detailed records of their recent actions. Just read it. I value Mr. Liu's talent and I don't want to be framed by someone. Please be careful."
Bi Gongyu's attitude was very tough. It was beyond everyone's expectations. The results of the investigation were about to be settled, and Dan Baoge stepped in. What exactly did he intend to do? As he said, he valued Liu Wuxie's talent?
What a joke.
These big men care about the life and death of these little people.
"Even if Shi Pojun has nothing to do with him, what about the Qifeng Gorge? The Xu family's motorcade passed by Qifeng Gorge, and the arrow marks left by Shi Pojun are also here. I dare say that the Xu family has no knowledge of it."
Xue Chunyu took a step back and wiped out the Xu family, leaving only Liu Wuxie, who could be wiped out with a gesture of his hand.
Bi Gongyu's main purpose was to keep Liu Wuxie, so he really hadn't thought about it, his brows were slightly frowned, and he didn't expect that the Xu family would be the last to be blamed, and judging by the situation, the investigation team had already reached a consensus.
Keeping Liu Wuxie is tantamount to keeping the Heavenly Spirit Pill. In a nest full of eggs, how could there be any eggs left? Without the Xu family, how could Liu Wuxie be alone.
"Castle Master Canglan has arrived!"
A burly figure entered the hall quickly, and the incident was full of twists and turns. First, the Lord of the Danbao Pavilion appeared, and even the Lord of the City, Qi Enshi, came. The Xu family was confused.
The previous three investigations took at most two hours. At this time, the sky was already dark and it was time to light the lamps. Three hours had passed, but the results had not yet come out.
Outside the gate of the Xu family, many spies gathered, and a lot of news was passed on. Everyone was guessing whether the Xu family could survive this hurdle.
"Students pay homage to Confucius, colleagues."
Qi Enshi bent down and bowed. He had listened to Mr. Kong's class back then, and it was fair to address his students. When he looked at Pavilion Master Danbao, he showed a little bit of astonishment.
"Brother Qi, what are you doing here, is it also to investigate the matter of Shi Pojun?"
Xue Chunyu asked suspiciously, the little Xu family attracted the owner of Pavilion Danbao to clarify, and Qi Enshi came again, not knowing what to do.
"I came to prove the Xu family's innocence. The Xu family's convoy was attacked by mysterious bandits in the past few days. The head of the Xu family found me and asked the city lord's mansion to send troops to wipe out the bandits. As the city lord, of course, bandits appear in the territory. According to our investigation, those mysterious bandits had left the Sunset Mountains half a month ago."
After Qi Enshi finished speaking, he looked at Xu Yilin, blinked his eyes, and signaled him not to speak, which was to excuse the Xu family.
Xu Yilin was stunned, when did he look for the City Lord's Mansion.
Xue Chunyu looked stupid!
Bai Qiu's eyes narrowed!
Bi Gongyu's eyes lit up!
……
Everyone's expressions are different, but Qi Enshi took the initiative to stand up and prove the innocence of Xu's family. The arrow marks left by Qifeng Gorge were a few days ago. To Canglan City.
"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, and it was unreasonable to continue to sanction the Xu family, and the fact that Danbaoge came forward made the investigation team have to reconsider.
"I haven't finished my words yet. According to my investigation, the Spike Mercenary Group left Canglan City a few days ago, and the disappearance of the Shi Po Army is inextricably linked to them."
Qi Enshi took out a report, which contained records of various crimes committed by the Spike Mercenary Group.
The hall fell into silence, the investigation was deadlocked, and the Xu family was completely free of suspicion. According to the report provided by Qi Enshi, the disappearance of Shi Pojun was most likely caused by Langya.
The fifth level of Langya Xilingling has the ability to kill Shi Pojun, which is reasonable.
"Elder Kong, what do you say?"
Xue Chunyu's face was gloomy and terrible, and he asked Kong Lao in a low voice, whether to continue the investigation.
Kong Lao glanced at the crowd, and from beginning to end, he never said much. Suddenly he stood up and bowed his hands: "Patriarch Xu, I'm sorry to bother you."
After speaking, he walked out of the hall. As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Xu family felt relieved.
Xue Chunyu wanted to say something more, but couldn't say a word, and shook his hands fiercely. When he was parting, his eyes fell on Liu Wuxie's face, with a look of looking dead.
"Mr. Kong, go slowly!"
Qi Enshi did not leave the main hall, but stayed where he was, and the senior members of the Xu family sent Kong Lao away collectively.
In the main hall, there were only three people left, namely Bi Gongyu, Qi Enshi, and Liu Wuxie.
"Young Master Liu, I won't bother you. We'll be chatting if we have a chance."
Bi Gongyu got up, cupped his hands, and left alone.
"Young Master Liu, you sent someone to send you the things!"
There were only the two of them left in the hall, Qi Enshi asked suddenly with a stern face.
"How do you judge that the things must be sent by me."
Liu Wuxie admitted it, the thing is that he sent someone to the City Lord's Mansion, just out of curiosity, Qi Enshi didn't go to find his father-in-law, but directly found himself.
"Tell me, where is Zhou Hu?"
Qi Enshi didn't bother to talk to him, he could guess with a little brainpower that Liu Wuxie sent someone to send the package, and Xu Yilin had never left Canglan City.
It was even more frightening that the people sent by the Wan family and the Tian family lost contact for several days. During this time, Liu Wuxie stayed in the mountains.
Qi Enshi was sure that Langya Hetian and Wan's family would never come back, and it would be most appropriate to plant them on the dead.
The only thing that puzzled Qi Enshi was how did so many masters disappear, did they all die at the hands of Liu Wuxie?He quickly shook his head, denying his own thoughts. There is only one possibility. Behind Liu Wuxie, there is a strong man standing behind him, secretly protecting him.
Suddenly rising from a waste, without anyone secretly pointing out, it is absolutely impossible.
On the way here, Qi Enshi analyzed it countless times, and finally came to this conclusion.
"You want to know?" Liu Wuxie let out a chuckle: "But why should I tell you?"
"Mr. Kong, now the evidence is solid. Shi Pojun mysteriously disappeared, and the Xu family is the most suspected. Please order Mr. Kong to take away the relevant people of the Xu family. Your Majesty, please judge."
Xue Chunyu bent down and bowed, the final decision was in Kong Lao's hands.
