The place where Meng Qi saw Cui Xu was not the main hall of the city lord's mansion, nor the study room, but the garden between the inner and outer courtyards.
Cui Xu is a thin middle-aged man. It can be seen that when he was young, he definitely deserved the words "handsome and unrestrained." temperament.
He was accompanied by four people, two of whom Meng Qi had met before, one was the pretty lady Cui Jinxiu who was wearing a red dress, and the other was Fei Zhengqing, the head catcher with a horse face and long beard.
The remaining two are slightly older than Fei Zhengqing. One is a rich old man with gray hair and many wrinkles, but his face is rosy, his back is straight, and he often smiles, which makes people feel friendly and easy-going. Bai, bay red face, broom eyebrows, lush beard and hair.
Seeing such a five-person combination, Meng Qi was a little taken aback. There was Miss Cui, but there was no young city lord Cui Jinhua. Could it be that he was out for something?
"Master Zhending, Cui took the liberty to invite me, please forgive me." Although Cui Xu has always looked stern, as an orthodox master, he has not lost his etiquette.
Meng Qi clasped his hands together, and said bluntly, "Amitabha, the twelve beasts are disasters for the world, and their subordinates have a lot of blood and debts. They are all guilty of serious crimes. I heard that after Shenhou committed a murder in Tianding City, even if the city owner doesn't invite him, the poor monk will commit suicide." Come."
After saying hello, Cui Xu maintained a stern expression, nodded and said: "Master Zhending is compassionate, and Cui thanked you on behalf of the people of Tianding City."
After exchanging pleasantries, Fei Zhengqing took over the topic with a smile: "Master Zhending, I am a visitor from afar, and Fei will introduce you to one or two, next to Fei Zhengqing, Tian is the chief arrester of Tianding City, responsible for arresting Shenhou. This is old Mr. You Tongguang You, the sworn brother of the city lord, nicknamed 'Live God of Wealth'."
He pointed to the old man who had been smiling.
He is You Tongguang Meng Qi met Li calmly, keeping the other person's appearance, figure, clothes, and attire firmly in his heart.
"This is Mr. Mu Shan, the chief executive of the Eighteenth Waterway in the South, and the sworn brother of the city lord. He is known as the third master Mu." Fei Zhengqing introduced the old man with a red face and a vigorous beard.
Mu Shan nodded slightly, looking at Meng Qi with suspicion.
"Fei won't introduce my niece Jinxiu, you must be familiar with her." Fei Zhengqing put away his smile and said sincerely, "Master Zhending, you can create a monkey with a sword, you are definitely a master in the world, this time to arrest him, I also ask for your help."
"Hey." Mu Shan smiled with a touch of contempt, but he didn't make any drastic moves.
"Boss Fei arrests you, just ask questions." Because he now belongs to the most common height, which is similar to Shenhou, Meng Qi is not worried that Fei Zhengqing can judge that he is a "Shenhou" just by looking at his figure.
Fei Zhengqing nodded: "Master, please don't mind Fei's cross-examination. It's a habit for Fei to rely on his crime first."
After getting Meng Qi's affirmative answer, he began to ask: "I don't know where the mage came from, and where did he meet Shenhou?"
"The poor monk came back from the far west and was traveling around the world. When he was sailing on the river, he happened to see Shenhou killing Zhang and his wife" Following Fei Zhengqing's question, Meng Qi described the incident truthfully and falsely. After reading it again, he said that the sword technique he said was outstanding, and he severely injured Shenhou with one move, but Shenhou was burdened with horizontal kung fu and feigned death to escape.
Fei Zhengqing kept asking about the details before and after, but Meng Qi had already thought it over thoroughly, trying to be consistent with what Zhang Zongxian and his wife described, without revealing any contradictions.
"Master Zhending is really a master of swordsmanship. Shenhou's excellent horizontal kung fu and swordsmanship were defeated by your hands. I am ashamed to say that the master Jin Ancheng was easily killed and there were not many traces of fighting at the scene. I'm afraid Fei is not Shenhou's opponent." Fei Zhengqing praised with a smile, but there was still some doubt in his expression.
Even though Shenhou's injuries were not serious due to his kung fu practice, but he was injured in the first half of the night, and he was able to beat himself vigorously in the second half of the night. It's half a step away from opening the secrets of the human body.
And in this way, Zhending who can defeat him head-on is at least a master at this level. Considering his age, this is too scary!
Before Meng Qi could answer, Mu Shan laughed twice without smiling, staring at Meng Qi with sharp eyes like an eagle, and said, "Master Zhending, your story is very good, but this old man doesn't believe it. He is a genius from the sky, but hard work is indispensable!"
"Let the old man weigh you!"
While speaking, he had pulled out the long knife in his waist and rubbed his body. Cui Xu, Fei Zhengqing and You Tongguang didn't stop him, but looked at Meng Qi with burning eyes.
Sitting on a stone benchup.
"Still using the rumors from the outside world. What are they trying to cover up? Or are they afraid of scaring the snake away?" This matter was so confusing that Meng Qi scratched his head a little.
"However, with such a big event happening today, You Tongguang might come home very late, but it gave me a chance." Meng Qi thought to himself.
Because You Tongguang may be a remnant of the Snow God Palace, and may have mastered strange martial arts such as "magic magic", Meng Qi did not go directly to him like he did with Jin Ancheng, but planned to make a detour.
Moreover, Meng Qi wanted to take this opportunity to find a way to complete the side missions.
¡¡¡¡
As night fell, Meng Qi, who had been paying attention to You's house all the time, made sure that You Tongguang had not returned, changed into his night clothes, put on a mask, and sneaked into You Tongguang's study quietly.
There is nothing special in You Tongguang's study, except for a Buddha statue carved from suet white jade, which seems to be priceless.
Meng Qi searched for You Tongguang's nearby bedroom again, but found no clues about the Snow God Palace, so he returned to the study, found a blank piece of paper, and deliberately changed his strokes to imitate the bandit commander Chu Liuxiang and wrote:
"I heard that you have a white jade Buddha statue, which is carved by wonderful hands. It is a superb workmanship, and I am so yearning for it. If I look at it today, I will not deceive me."
"However, it is not the way to be a guest without asking. I leave this letter and tell you sincerely. After six days, when I step on the moon to pick it up, Jun Su Yada will not let me go back and forth in vain."
