Chapter 115 Just Watching the Fun
"Trial now?"
"Trial now!"
In the distance, a blazing fire burned the morning glow red, and in the near distance was the inky river water.
The Golden Pig changed his usual smiling expression, stared at the traces in the river and said fiercely: "Today, the Liu family suddenly set an ambush to kill me. If Tianma hadn't arrived, I would have died on the bridge. How can I sleep if I don't know who is behind this?!"
After saying that, Golden Pig ignored Manager Yuan's curses and stepped on the man's hands and feet, crushing his cervical vertebrae and radius. Only then did he let out a long sigh of relief.
Tonight, he really thought he was going to die.
Chen Ji stepped on the pebbles and waded slowly to shore: "Master Jinzhu, are you suspicious of me? If I were a spy from the Jing Dynasty, why would I risk my life to catch up with him? If I hadn't delayed him, it wouldn't have been so easy for you to catch him."
"What if the two of you teamed up to act?" Jin Zhu said viciously, "The Liu family set an ambush on the bridge today, and you exchanged masks with someone before going up the bridge. I have reason to suspect that you knew in advance that there was danger on Mudan Bridge."
Chen Ji said calmly, "Sir, the idea of changing the mask was not proposed by me. Moreover, if I was really an accomplice of the Jing Dynasty thieves, or an accomplice of the Liu family, I should have gone to the bridge with you. They want to kill you, not me."
The golden pig was startled.
Yes, if Chen Ji was a thief from Jing Dynasty, it would not be dangerous to go up the bridge.
However, Jin Zhu made up his mind: "I don't trust anyone today! Don't blame me for being suspicious. Anyone who has survived a fatal accident will doubt everyone around them. As I said before, if I am wrong, I will find a way to make it up to you."
After that, he turned to look at Mengji: "Interrogate him, and you'll know what's going on after the interrogation!"
Mengji looked at the mud and dead grass on the beach, fanned her nose with her orchid fingers, and said disdainfully: "Do we have to interrogate now? Can't we find a slightly cleaner place?"
Jin Zhu didn't want to wait any longer. He took off a string of Buddhist coins from his left wrist and handed it over: "Examination!"
Mengji took the Buddhist Tongbao and carefully examined the words engraved on the Buddhist beads before putting it on his wrist. He smiled and said, "Tsk tsk, this price is enough for me to cast a first-class dream. Boss Jinzhu is really generous. It's really lucrative to be in charge of the purse of our Secret Service."
After saying that, he lifted up his clothes and sat cross-legged on the ground. He gently bit his finger, drew a talisman with blood, and then wrapped Manager Yuan's hair with talisman paper and swallowed it into his mouth.
Chen Ji saw the ball of talisman paper slide down Meng Ji's throat like an egg, and then Meng Ji's eyes suddenly rolled up, leaving only the whites of his eyes.
The cursing of Shopkeeper Yuan, who was lying on the ground, suddenly stopped. He looked just like Meng Ji, with only the whites of his eyes left.
The Golden Pig got straight to the point: "What is your position?"
Shopkeeper Yuan's eyes were dull. "I am the new Secretary 'Xin' under the command of Lu Guanwu, the military strategist of Jing Dynasty. I am lurking as the shopkeeper of Bailu Pavilion, in charge of all the affairs of Luocheng."
Jin Zhu asked solemnly, "When did you reconnect with the Liu family? And how did you do it?"
Manager Yuan replied, "The day before yesterday, Zhang Guoer from the Liu family came to visit Bailu Pavilion. She said that someone sneaked into the Liu family mansion and left a note, exposing your identities, and asked Liu Mingxian to verify it directly with me."
Jin Zhu's expression changed. He glanced at Chen Ji and then asked solemnly, "Did the Liu family tell you who put the note there?"
Shopkeeper Yuan calmly replied, "The Liu family doesn't know either."
"The Liu family doesn't know either? The Liu family mansion is heavily guarded, how could someone sneak into it without knowing it?" Jin Zhu asked in astonishment, "Then do you know?"
This time, Shopkeeper Yuan hesitated for a moment: "It should be the Master. Only the Master can be so powerful."
Jin Zhu's expression was stern. Has the head of the Military Intelligence Department arrived in Luo City?
He asked in a serious tone: "Who is the Sizhu? Where is he?"
"I don't know. The identity of the Director is mysterious. Only he can contact me. I can't contact him."
Jin Zhu looked at Manager Yuan, then at Chen Ji. This apprentice from the medical clinic definitely didn't have the ability to sneak into the Liu family...
He suddenly asked, "Since you are in charge of the affairs of Los Angeles, you should know all the spies. Let me ask you, do you know Chen Ji?"
Shopkeeper Yuan frowned slightly: "Who is Chen Ji?"
"It's the guy who just chased you!"
"do not know."
Jin Zhu was unwilling to accept the result: "Isn't he your Jingchao spy?"
"No."
The golden pig was speechless.
I suspect every day that Chen Ji is a spy from Jing Dynasty, but if even Si Cao, who is in charge of all affairs in Luocheng, says that Chen Ji is not, why should I still doubt him?
……
……
Under the shadow of the willow trees by the river, Old Man Yao held the dark clouds in his arms and silently looked at the river bank.
Wu Yun was somewhat puzzled: "Why is Chen Ji desperately chasing after Manager Yuan? They don't seem to have any grudge against each other."
Old Man Yao sneered: "This kid must have set his eyes on the ginseng in the storehouse... Which good person would trick the owner of a medicine shop out and kill him just to get the ginseng in the store?"
But at this moment.
Old Man Yao thought for a moment and said, "Wait, the note he asked you to deliver to the Liu family said, 'The boss is a fake, you can ask the owner of Bailu Pavilion to verify it.' In fact, he only needs to write 'The boss is a fake' to cheat Jinzhu, so why bother to involve the owner of Bailu Pavilion?"
Wuyun said, "I know this!"
"Oh?"
Wu Yun explained, "Chen Ji said that Jin Zhu was suspicious, and he wanted to find a witness who was not a spy from the Jing Dynasty, and the best candidate for this witness was the shopkeeper Yuan from Bailu Pavilion."
Old man Yao was silent.
Yes, is there any witness more convincing than a Cao from the Military Intelligence Department of Jing Dynasty?
Is Chen Ji a spy of Jing Dynasty? Yes.
Does the shopkeeper Yuan of Bailu Pavilion know Chen Ji's identity? He really doesn't know.
No wonder Chen Ji was desperate to follow Shopkeeper Yuan, he was worried that his witness would run away. Old Man Yao smiled and said, "Chen Ji's calculations are indeed sound, but he probably didn't expect how suspicious Jin Zhu could be. Let's wait and see."
……
……
At this time, Jin Zhu put his hands behind his back and paced around Manager Yuan: "How could it not be? Hey, Mengji, is your dream reliable?"
Mengji slowly opened his eyes and sneered, "If you doubt it, then don't invite me. What's the point of inviting me but not trusting me? Even the Minister of Internal Affairs has never doubted me. Are you more powerful than the Minister of Internal Affairs?"
Jin Zhu said irritably, "Never mind, let's continue to examine Chen Ji!"
Meng Ji adjusted his temples and said, "Think carefully. I have interrogated this guy once before, and I have confirmed that he is not a spy of Jing Dynasty. I advise you to control your suspicious nature and stop wasting money."
The Golden Pig took off another string of Buddhist coins from his right wrist and said, "Examine!"
Mengji said in a roundabout way, "You can't make ends meet? You've spent all your family's savings to interrogate a medical apprentice like this?"
Chen Ji frowned and said, "Master Jinzhu, even this Jingchao Sicao said that I am not a spy. You still doubt me? Do you have to pin the crime on me to be satisfied?"
Jinzhu smiled but his face was not: "True gold is not afraid of fire. If you are really okay, cut a strand of your hair and give it to Mengji to prove your innocence."
As he said this, he handed the dagger to Chen Ji.
In the middle of the river, Tianma stood on the bow, staring coldly at the river bank. Chen Ji and Jinzhu stared at each other for a long time, and finally took the dagger and cut off a strand of hair.
Mengji drew the talisman again, wrapped Chenji's hair with talisman paper and swallowed it.
The next moment, Chen Ji felt sleepy.
In a trance, Chen Ji returned to Zhou's study.
With a bang, twenty-six fires in his body began to burn.
Chen Ji remembered that this was how he regained consciousness last time. He could only gamble now, and it would work this time too.
and many more.
Chen Ji suddenly felt a little strange: he did not lose his mind this time.
He remembered that he was Chen Ji, and he also remembered that he was being interrogated. This was clearly not the case last time!
In this dream, a loud voice like a bronze bell pierced through the sky and said, "Are you a spy from the Jing Dynasty?"
Chen Ji replied: “No.”
"Is this the note you sent to the Liu family?"
"No."
"Do you know who sent the note to the Liu family?"
"do not know."
"Did you know that the Liu family would set an ambush tonight?"
"do not know."
The Golden Pig remained silent and asked no more questions.
Chen Ji was extremely surprised. This was too strange. He originally thought that everything was over and he could only gamble his life, but the reality was that he did not have to be bound by this dream at all.
Is it because I have interpreted the dream last time, so I will never be controlled by the dream chicken again?
Or is there something else going on?
But outside the dream, the voice of the Golden Pig suddenly asked: "Do you know who was the one who used firearms to blow me up last time?"
Chen Ji replied: “I don’t know.”
The Golden Pig said, "Well, there is nothing to judge."
It was only at this time that Meng Ji slowly walked into the Zhou Mansion's study and asked with interest, "Boy, what kind of shit luck did you have to win the favor of that master?"
Chen Ji frowned: "Who?"
Meng Ji was stunned: "He is really lucky. He doesn't know anything. How boring."
The dream suddenly dissipated, and the world of Zhou Mansion gradually faded away. Chen Ji heard the sound of Luo River flowing again and saw the flickering flames in the distance.
He subconsciously looked at Mengji, but he saw that the other party did not look at him. He just stood up, dusted himself off, and said slowly: "Okay, I have asked all the questions I need to ask. Can I go back to Kaifeng Mansion? The day after tomorrow, the owner of Yunhai will come to Kaifeng Mansion to set up a stage for a play. It is said that he will perform Dingxishan. I don't want to miss it."
Jin Zhu was silent for a long time: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Meng Ji said disdainfully: "Our Secret Service has never caught a spy of Si Cao's rank. He has obviously received great credit, but why is he still looking so sad? It's boring! Let's go!"
After saying that, he looked at Chen Ji meaningfully, then turned and walked towards the river bank.
In the shadow of a willow tree in the distance, Old Man Yao smiled and touched Wuyun's head: "Now that we're done watching the fun, let's go home."
Wu Yun was stunned for a moment: "Master, are you really just here to watch the fun?"
"if not?"
"I thought you would help him..."
Old Man Yao sneered and said, "Why should I help him? I don't care about his bullshit!"
