Chapter 175: Water Monkey's Confession

Water Monkey recalled for a while and continued to confess: "The Great Elder and I are both greedy for money. When we saw such a generous reward, we agreed without hesitation.

We laid an ambush on the other side of the river from the imperial city in advance. When we saw the arrival of the city lord and his entourage, we sneaked down the river and hid under the city lord's boat.

As soon as the city lord's boat moved, we followed suit.

We followed the boat for a mile in the river, and then started to dig into the bottom of the boat. When we reached the center of the river, the boat dug a big hole.

We dug a hole as big as a washbasin in the bottom of the boat. They used quilts to plug the leak. I dug a bigger hole and even pulled the quilt down into the water.

They were unable to stop the water from rushing into the boat. The water filled the boat in a short time and the boat sank to the bottom of the water. The people in the boat were all landlubbers, and the great elder and I killed them one by one without any effort.

The river flowed very fast, and the corpse was washed away quickly. Killing people in such rapids would not reveal any flaws or leave any traces.

I thought this mission was completed easily, but unexpectedly, a very powerful character appeared out of nowhere. Not only did he escape my sneak attack, but he also started a fight with me.

My kung fu was not as good as his, and he stabbed me in the lower abdomen of my right leg. Fortunately, the great elder came to the rescue and the man died.

The great elder and I took away all the valuable small items in the boat, but we didn't find a lot of gold and silver. The city lord came to take office with his family, so it was impossible not to bring gold and silver. There were two large wooden cabinets in the boat.

The gold and silver are inside.

After I went back, I was focused on the things in the two big cabinets, but my feet were injured and I couldn't get into the water for a while.

Mo Shuiqing repeatedly asked me not to show up in public and to stay hidden. I just spent every day gambling in the Wang family's casino.

It was unlucky as it should be. On the night when the sect leader came to Qi Refining Sect, I felt flustered that night. I was afraid that I would be unlucky and lose money, so I didn't go to the casino.

Baishui Qing ordered me to let go of the arsonist caught by the clan leader. My three other brothers and I sneaked outside to where the arsonist was. Thinking that no one was watching, we quickly used our swords to cut ropes for them.

Unexpectedly, there was an eagle and a python guarding us. As soon as we made a move, the two beasts attacked us. One of my brothers and I were blinded in one eye by the beak, and the other two brothers were bitten off a piece of calf meat by the snake.

.

As a result, Mo Shuiqing's affairs were exposed, forcing him to commit suicide.

I have been gambling in the casino for the past two days, and I have been very unlucky and lost all my money. Before the one million silver was given to me, Mo Shuiqing blew himself up. In addition, no one gave me money, and I was too tight on money.

I had to rush to retrieve the two wooden cabinets from the sunken ship in the river.

Originally, it was not advisable to come because my eye injury was not healed, but when I thought about the possible gold, silver and silver notes in the wooden cabinet, my heart became agitated, so I put on a sealed eye mask and came.

I know that the sect master came prepared, and it was definitely not the soul of the dead city lord who asked you to come, but I don’t know how the sect master calculated this move?

Wei Jie: "You think I have been in Lingjing for three days and don't know anything. In fact, I haven't arrived in Lingjing yet. I heard on the way that the two city lords who died on the way were murdered, but there is no evidence."

, there is no specific murderer, and there is no evidence.

I got the information just before dark today. The two city lords who came to the capital to take office died at the hands of Bai Changqing. This time I confirmed that you are the murderer, so I came here to look for evidence. I didn’t expect you to come and bring me the evidence yourself.

.

Although Mo Shuiqing is dead, you are not dead, and the other murderers are not dead. Now the evidence is overwhelming, and we can close the net. Zhou Yan, Wang Lang, Wang Jiagui... none of them can escape."

Wei Jie pointed his hand, and a ray of wind hit the water monkey's Dantian, turning the water monkey into a crippled one-eyed dragon.

Wei Jie said to Deng Yun: "Brother Deng Yun, this water monkey will be locked up in your house for the time being, and I entrust you to arrange the guard. In case the news is leaked, it will not be conducive to the arrest of other people.

There is another thing that must be done by you personally. I am now repairing a book, and please help me deliver it to the prince in the imperial city as soon as possible. These two cabinets are temporarily sealed in your house, waiting for the prince to deal with it. "

Deng Yun: "Okay, I'm happy to do such a great thing for the people of Linjing City! Just come to my house and write a letter."

Deng Yun picked up the two wooden cabinets, and Wei Jie picked up the water monkey, separated from the second son of the boat, and went to Deng Yun's house.

Deng Yun's family is right by the river. It has several large tile-roofed houses and is a well-to-do family. He has a beautiful young wife, a seven-year-old daughter, and a five-year-old boy. His parents are still alive, so he is a happy family.

People like this are generally unwilling to get into trouble and get involved in disputes. Wei Jie can see from Deng Yun's words and deeds that he is a man with a sense of justice, ability and talent. If he enters

Officialdom is a rare talent.

Wei Jie immediately wrote a letter to the prince, briefly explaining the situation of the city lord Zhou Yan of Lingjing City colluding with the Wang family and the head of the Qi Refining Sect to murder the two city lords who were appointed by the prince to be the city lords of Lingjing City.

He also wrote about the situation of the corrupt officials in Linjing City, the three major aristocratic families, and the Lianqi Sect who colluded to become traitors and preyed on the common people.

Finally, he talked about Deng Yun's achievements, character, talents, and abilities, and praised him a lot. He recommended him to the prince for his own use.

Wei Jie wrote the letter to Deng Yun and asked Deng Yun to leave for the imperial city at dawn and try to arrive there in one day. The matter was urgent, so the sooner the better.

He also ordered the water monkey to be imprisoned so that no news would leak out.

After explaining to Deng Yun, Wei Jie said goodbye to Deng Yun and disappeared into the wilderness of the night.

Wei Jie returned to the Qi Refining Sect. Xiu Ning and Wen Qian were not asleep yet. They were both seizing the time to practice and prepare for a large-scale battle.

Xiuning knew very well that the city lord's palace had 10,000 troops, which was a very powerful armed force.

Zhou Yan will not be willing to fail. Once he discovers that Wei Jie has found out the facts of his crime and caught his fox tail, he will jump over the wall in a desperate struggle, and a big war will be inevitable.

As soon as Wei Jie entered the room, he told Xiuning and Wen Qian about the capture of Water Monkey and the confession of Water Monkey. After listening to it, both of them frowned. No one expected that the Qi Refining Sect would follow the city lord Zhou Yan.

, did such a crazy thing.

Xiuning: "What should we do now?"

Wei Jie: "Don't hesitate, eliminate the dangerous factors one by one from near to far. Now eliminate the internal troubles immediately, then deal with the Wang family, and finally deal with the city lord."

There are 10,000 soldiers in the city lord's palace, so fighting is not a good thing, and the loss will be the loss of the Wei Dynasty."

Wen Qian: "Clean up the internal troubles now?"

Wei Jie: "Start immediately. Arrest the four elders of Mo Shuiqing, including the eldest elder Song Chang, and the three people who indulged in arrogance. They are Mo Shuiqing's cronies and were also involved in the murder. Arrest them immediately.

.

They all participated in the case of pretending to be bandits to rob and kill the city lord. During the war, they will definitely turn against the enemy and help the enemy, and then there will be trouble."

Xiuning and Wen Qian nodded in agreement, stood up and walked out. Wei Jie said: "You two don't need to go, just wait for me to wake up the second elder and take me to take action. After all,

It’s night and it’s difficult for you two to move around.”

The two beauties thought that their husband was right. With a strong man like him, there was nothing that could not be done. However, they just kept their husband awake all night and had to work hard all night.

Wei Jie woke up the second elder, ordered the second elder to wake up the other two elders, and took him to the elder's room to arrest people.

The first person to be arrested was the Great Elder, but unexpectedly he missed the target. This guy was cunning and cunning. Knowing that Wei Jie would do something to him, he hid in his lover's house day and night and never showed up in the sect.

The other three elders who followed Mo Shuiqing closely, and Mo Shuiqing's three henchmen were all arrested. After interrogation overnight, the six people confessed to the murder of the two city lords.

However, the removal of the chief culprit, the Great Elder Song Chang, would be very detrimental to Wei Jie and would expose Wei Jie's action plan in advance.

The next morning, at dawn, the second elder called all the disciples for a meeting. The second elder, Chen Bingxiang, informed the disciples that Bai Shuiqing had colluded with the city lord Zhou Yan and murdered the two city lords who came to the capital to take office on the way.

The second elder then told the disciples: "Six murderers involved in the murder were arrested. The main murderer, Water Monkey, was caught while salvaging the deceased's belongings from the river. Only the other main murderer, Song Chang, was at large. He asked the disciples to keep their eyes open. If they find out, they will

Report."

In fact, these things had been rumored for a long time, and the disciples were all vaguely aware of them. Now that they have been confirmed, they are still shocked.

These people were so audacious that they even dared to murder important officials sent by the imperial court, and they did so over and over again, and they will continue to do so in the future.
