Chapter 28 Why is it you again?

Chapter 28 Why is it you again?

In fact, everyone present here is a big shot in the East Capital. They represent at least one industry or one faction.

These people had heard about the kidnapping of Master Shen Qi through their own channels a long time ago. For example, Zhang Hong had been lingering in Dongdu under the pretext of taking care of his daughter, hoping to gain some benefits for himself or the forces behind him from this incident.

But as long as the father doesn't speak up, you can't investigate openly, and you even have to pretend that you don't know, otherwise who knows if you are in cahoots with the robbers. If you take it so seriously, then you are competitors. Kick him out first in the name of justice.

"My son Qixing is missing. The head shopkeeper of Xijing, Lao Zhang, is still seriously injured and unconscious. None of the four guards of the sixth level of the outer scene survived. I have invited the owner of the teahouse to come and ask him, but he knows nothing. I am at a loss as to what to do."

Four sixth-level guards from the outer scene were definitely a lot for ordinary wealthy people, but for Mr. Shen Qi, it was still a little short.

Zhang Hong thought for a moment and said, "Boss Shen, didn't you send someone to be with your son?"

Everyone nodded. There were few monks, only one in a million. In Dongdu, a place where the world's talents gathered, there were only a thousand monks, and most of them were from outside.

There are even fewer interior scenes. A hundred exterior scenes may not produce one interior scene. For example, Wen Jijiu has been stuck in the exterior scene for more than ten years.

But no matter how few there are, there are some. With the financial resources of the Shen family, I would never believe that they didn't recruit a few insiders.

Boss Shen smiled bitterly: "I dare not hide it from you, the head shopkeeper of Xijing, I just entered the inner scene a few years ago..."

A sound of people gasping for air was heard. Four people from the Sixth Heaven were killed, one from the inner scene was injured, and most of the people present were from the outer scene. You asked us to go, isn't that a gift?

The great monk chanted a Buddhist name: "Does the donor have any other clues?"

Boss Shen nodded: "There is indeed someone who has some relationship with my son, but it should be fine."

"Should? At this time, even if there is a slight suspicion, they should be arrested and questioned. How can you say there should be no problem?" The speaker was a middle-aged man wearing an official uniform and a sword on his waist. This man was the number one detective in Dongdu and also a master of outdoor scenes. He represented the official Dongdu.

Boss Shen looked at Wen Jijiu and said, "Because this person just entered the academy."

The whole place was silent. No one dared to openly question whether the academy was harboring evil people. However, everyone stared at Wen Jijiu, obviously hoping that he could explain something.

Wen Jijiu picked up the tea and took a sip slowly: "Old Shen, don't worry."

Boss Shen sighed and said, "This man once drank tea with my son in the teahouse. According to several witnesses, he first went to Dongdu and then went to Tianxianglou."

Yun Gu was stunned. She didn't expect that she could be related to him.

"Then I stayed at Yuelai Inn. I didn't know why I broke my leg two days ago, but I still went to Xiangjiang Temple to worship Buddha."

Sitting next to the guest monk of the palace was an older monk, the abbot of Xiangjiang Temple. He frowned when he heard this.

Boss Shen ignored their expressions and continued, "The next day, several monks from Xiangjiang Temple went to Yuelai Inn and had a conflict with him. The academy's chief priest Liu took him back to the academy. According to the latest news, this person has been admitted to the academy."

Wen Jijiu paused while holding the teacup: "What's this person's name?"

"Zhao Yushu"

It was obvious that Boss Shen was very suspicious of Zhao Yushu, otherwise he would not have investigated him in such detail. However, since the other party had entered the academy, Boss Shen had to take a roundabout approach and invite Wen Jijiu to come over and tactfully raise his suspicions.

Yun Gu remained calm, but her hands in her sleeves unconsciously clenched a little. Zhang Hong didn't think of anything at first, but then he was stunned. It was obvious that he suspected someone who knew the Tathagata Palm. Wen Jiji continued to drink tea, and the others knew nothing about this name.

The eldest senior brother's eyes turned slightly, taking in everyone's performance. It was really amazing that his future junior brother could be related to Yun Gu. But how did he know Zhang Hong? It seemed that their relationship was a little deeper.

"Zhao Yushu is fine, you guys check other aspects," Wen Jijiu said lightly, which immediately caused a commotion in the room.

Finally, the detective spoke up: "Master Wen, we respect you, but this matter is of great importance. Please give us an explanation."

Wen Jijiu nodded and said: "It's time to give an explanation, otherwise people will say that our academy is overbearing. Boss, you tell me."

The eldest senior brother nodded and said, "Zhao Yushu is my new junior brother, and also my master, the sixth disciple."

With a "poof", all of Zhang Hong's tea sprayed out.

"Sorry, I choked, I choked"

Damn, this mysterious junior brother of mine whose name I don't know is so powerful. He asked me if I could send him to Tianji Pavilion, but now he went in by himself and became the sixth disciple of this old man. Damn, he won't cause a fight between Dabei Temple and the academy in the future, will he?

Yun Gu also remembered what Zhao Yushu said that day. He said that Rulan had a brother who studied in an academy, so no one would say that she was marrying above her station. She thought that she had overestimated the reputation of the academy's disciples, but she didn't expect that the academy he was talking about was actually the disciple of the old man of Tianji Pavilion.

Having an old man's disciple as her brother is not only marrying up, but also marrying down if the prince comes. Rulan is really finding a treasure.

Boss Shen was also stunned, but he had been in the business world for a long time, so his reaction was quick: "Since you are the Pavilion Master's disciple, then there is naturally no problem. Then I hope you will pay more attention to it."

After saying that, he clapped his hands. An energetic old servant came up with a large box in both hands. The eldest brother frowned slightly and became alert for the first time today.

"I know that you all look down on the mundane things of the mortal world, but I have collected a few treasures over the years. It is said that they are all of the highest grade in the Mysterious Rank. Please keep them as a souvenir."

The Heaven and Earth are Xuanhuang, Xuan rank is not that high, but Heaven rank treasures are hard to come by, Earth rank treasures are often held by major sects as sect treasures, and for ordinary cultivators, they may not be able to get one in their lifetime.

The Xuan-level upper-grade items were already the highest-level treasures that ordinary cultivators could obtain through normal means. Academy bosses like Wen Jijiu might not care much about them, but for local representatives of other forces, they were already tempting enough.

Although everyone was tempted, they did not move, because Boss Shen clearly said that this was just a souvenir. Of course, the souvenir was not taken for free. Whoever took it was equivalent to being willing to take the responsibility of rescuing Mr. Shen Qi.

Boss Shen looked at the reactions of the crowd, his eyes slightly cold. These so-called immortals seemed to be out of touch with the world, but in fact, they were the kind of people who would not act without seeing the rabbit, and they were even more ruthless than him in doing business.

Then he coughed twice and said, "If anyone can bring my child back safe and sound, I will give you a small item that I have treasured for a long time. It is not of high grade, but of lower earth grade."

With a crack, someone finally couldn't hold back and in the excitement he couldn't even control his strength and broke the armrest of the chair.

This man is a thin and gloomy scholar with a gloomy face. He coughs from time to time and seems to be dying of illness at any time. He is the right-hand man of the leader of the underground world in Dongdu and is known as the Sick Scholar.

"In that case, from today onwards, all the foxes and rats in Dongdu will do their best to find the whereabouts of Master Shen. As long as someone is in Dongdu, no one can hide."

The sick scholar stood up, walked straight to the box, and took out a jade pendant that exuded a chill. "I'll accept the deposit. You are all important people, so don't blame me for taking it first. As for the earth-level treasures, everyone will rely on their own abilities."

Without waiting for anyone to reply, he leaped out of the window and quickly disappeared into the shadows.

Although everyone knows that the Xuan-level treasure is a deposit, it is still embarrassing for you to say it so bluntly, so you look at me and I look at you, and no one moves.
