Chapter 538 What Inside Information Can I Know?

Cheng Yu shook his head honestly.

Although he asked Baimian Mengyao to deal with He Lingchuan, he actually didn't know what the victim looked like.

"The person you wanted to harm but didn't kill."

Cheng Yu suddenly widened his eyes.

Bai Ziqi noticed that the look he gave He Lingchuan was not only resentful, but also suspicious.

This subconscious expression was the most telling.

He Lingchuan also smiled at Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu swallowed his saliva.

Fu Shanyue continued to ask: "Tell me the truth, was this instigated by Cen Boqing?"

Cheng Yu said weakly: "Yes."

His face was as pale as a ghost, and he might faint at any time, but his eyes were always on He Lingchuan.

Fu Shanyue clapped his hands: "Good, good. Just admit it! Envoy Bai heard it."

His question was indeed well-posed. Just as Bai Ziqi was about to ask the next question, He Lingchuan suddenly said: "Cen Boqing's wife is coming here."

"How did you cast the curse... um, what did you say?"

"Cen Boqing's wife, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Agriculture, Yao Xingning!" Fu Shanyue pointed to the northeast, "She just arrived at Baisha, and rushed directly into the Cen Mansion despite the obstruction of Lu Dutong's men. I estimate that in another half a quarter of an hour, she will be able to rush here."

The Cen Mansion is still some distance away from the county government, but if Fu Shanyue can come, Yao Xingning can certainly come too.

Bai Ziqi frowned immediately: "What a coincidence?"

"Why else would I come to report in the middle of the night?" Fu Shanyue said twice, "If she rushed into the county government office to find her husband, it might not be so easy for Cen to confess her guilt."

Time is precious. Bai Ziqi pondered for a moment, turned his head and said to Fan Sheng who was standing beside the bed:

"Commander Fan, please take people to guard the gate of the county government office. During the interrogation, no one is allowed to enter!"

"Anyone" was emphasized.

He Lingchuan clearly saw the reluctance on Fan Sheng's face, but still said "yes" and strode out.

He was a little curious. What kind of person is the eldest daughter of the Minister of Agriculture who can make Prince Chiyan and Du Yunshi headache and the deputy commander of Tongxinwei unwilling?

Bai Ziqi moved and said, "Let's try Cen Boqing first."

Fu Shanyue agreed readily.

Everyone went to the county jail. He Lingchuan glanced back and saw two guards entering the compartment and closing the door casually.

Before the prison door closed, He Lingchuan seemed to hear the rumbling of horse hooves coming from the end of the long street.

Just now, he and Fu Shanyue also rushed here in such a hurry.

Bai Ziqi casually put up a barrier to soundproof the inside and outside to prevent unnecessary noise from coming in later.

Cen Boqing squatted in the big cell closest to the window.

Considering his special status, County Magistrate Tian arranged a single cell for him on the second floor underground, with only one passage in and out.

There were beds and chairs in the cell, and the floor was clean, obviously just cleaned; the food and water were clean, but he didn't touch them.

Cen Boqing sat on the chair with a decadent look.

The three people came in, and the jailer moved a few chairs. Just as he was about to speak, Fu Shanyue waved his hand and sent him up, leaving only one person to record the confession.

Compared with Cheng Yu's miserable condition, Cen Boqing was unharmed inside and outside, but his expression was depressed and his eyes were dull.

With complete evidence and evidence, and Du Yunshi personally arresting him, he knew that his fate was doomed.

Even if his father-in-law, the Minister of Agriculture, intervened to plead for him, it would probably be useless.

When he saw Bai Ziqi, he bowed his head dejectedly: "These have nothing to do with the Minister of Agriculture, and my wife, my wife, knows nothing about it."

"You are still a man." Bai Ziqi sighed, "If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?"

Fu Shanyue crossed his arms and said: "I see that you look so cowardly, you don't look like the person in charge. Is there someone above who is instructing you? Tell me! You are not the main culprit, so your sentence will be lighter!"

Cen Boqing bowed his head: "Wu Bo is responsible for collecting and selling the beads. I, I rarely manage it. If you want to investigate, start from Qingfu Temple. Wu Bo's beads are sold there. I know that the temple also sells immortality medicine."

"Did Zhongsun Mou go to Qingfu Temple to buy immortality medicine because of your introduction?"

Cen Boqing nodded.

"You have never seen a person who refines medicine, except the temple priest surnamed Hu in Qingfu Temple?"

"Yes." Cen Boqing said immediately, "If you catch the Hu, you will definitely be able to track him down..."

Bai Ziqi interrupted him: "Just a few days ago, Qingfu Temple caught fire. The blazing flames could not be extinguished and burned to ashes within two quarters of an hour. More than a hundred people in the temple did not run out."

Cen Boqing opened his mouth and his face was pale.

All, all were silenced?

"It's a coincidence that it was the day after the King of Chiyan wrote to Lingxu." Bai Ziqi glanced at Fu Shanyue. If his father hadn't been anxious to expose the case, and had no skills in doing it, Qingfu Temple should still be fine now, right?

Alerting the snake, alas.

"So, the case is stuck with you." Bai Ziqi said to Cen Boqing patiently, "Do you know what this means?"

It means that all the punishments will fall on him? Cen Boqing was stunned for a long time, shaking his head almost falling off: "No, no, I'm really not the mastermind, I haven't even touched the beads a few times! These matters are handled by Uncle Wu, you interrogate him, interrogate him! You must get something!"

"Oh?" Bai Ziqi guided him, "Uncle Wu has long argued that he was also following orders."

"Even if he followed orders, he didn't necessarily only follow my orders!" Cen Boqing said anxiously, "I took over the bead business from my father, and Uncle Wu was in charge at that time; after I took over, it was also like this, I didn't need to worry about it at ordinary times! He was in charge of everything, what inside information could I know?"

He was afraid that Bai Ziqi would not believe him, so he swore to heaven.

Bai Ziqi was silent.

At this time, a guard of Fan Sheng came down from above and whispered in Bai Ziqi's ear.

Bai Ziqi frowned slightly: "I know, a quarter of an hour."

The guard left quickly.

He Lingchuan and Fu Shanyue looked at each other and knew that it was probably Fan Sheng outside who came to report the news.

Bai Ziqi meant that he should hold on for at least another quarter of an hour.

Fu Shanyue continued: "Based on Cen Boqing's character, he really doesn't look like the person in charge..."

Cen Boqing nodded like pounding garlic.

"...On the other hand, Wu Kai acts carefully and shrewdly, and is in charge of the overall situation. It seems that he is using them as a cover to engage in these illegal activities. Mai Xuewen can plot against Wu Kai, so why can't Wu Kai plot against his own master?" Fu Shanyue asked Cen Boqing, "How did Wu Kai come to the Cen Mansion?"

"My father said that more than 20 years ago, the old housekeeper resigned due to illness and returned to his hometown, and recommended Wu Bo to him, saying that this person is capable and reliable."

Fu Shanyue teased: "Indeed, he is both capable and reliable, so you don't have to worry about anything, and finally go to death in a muddle."

He Lingchuan asked: "Did the Cen family go from embarrassment to wealth again after Wu Bo came?"

Cen Boqing thought about it and nodded.

"In other words, your father asked Wu Bo to handle this matter from the beginning..." He Lingchuan originally wanted to say business, "business. When he first came to the Cen Mansion."

The business of killing the Beijia monsters and taking the pulp beads to refine the immortality medicine

This is like a new employee in a big company. On the first day of work, the new employee directly controls the company's core secrets and then starts to handle tens of millions of business.

Moreover, the business of hunting monsters and taking pearls is a high-profit business with high risks. Father Cen directly handed it over to a stranger. He couldn't be crazy, right?

Mai Xuewen had "saved" Uncle Wu, and Uncle Wu tested him for three years before he dared to recruit him as a core member.

"So your father knows very well where Uncle Wu came from."

Bai Ziqi looked at He Lingchuan approvingly: "Good analysis."

In a few words, he uncovered the suspicious points.

This young man could see the flaws with just two eyes. Can Cen Boqing, who is in his 40s, be kept in the dark?

"I..." Cen Boqing stammered, "These are all old things. Every time I wanted to ask in detail, my father scolded me for being too talkative and said that I didn't know better. In the end, he died too suddenly and never solved the mystery for me."

"You said that the business of hunting monsters and taking pearls was controlled by Uncle Wu." Bai Ziqi said, "You were very decisive when you cursed Uncle Wu yesterday evening. Without him, you did a good job."

Cen Boqing looked confused: "What evening curse? It wasn't me!"

Huh?

"Yesterday evening..." Bai Ziqi saw Uncle Wu's evil curse take effect with his own eyes, and Fu Shanyue saved his life.

"Cheng Yu said that we only have one chance, and it's best to use our strength at night." Cen Boqing shook his head like a wave drum, "It was definitely not us who cast the spell yesterday evening. Uncle Wu might have another enemy!"

"..." Bai Ziqi seemed to be thinking about something, and his eyes glanced at Fu Shanyue beside him.

Now thinking about it, the timing of Wu Bo being cursed last night seemed too coincidental. Just when the envoy of Lingxu City found Prince Yue to understand the situation, Wu Kai was in trouble, and then he confessed in front of the envoy Du Yun.

Bai Ziqi originally wanted to go to Cen's house to understand the situation, but now he changed to arresting people directly, which led to a series of large-scale roundups.

So, who cast the curse on Wu Kai?

Meeting his gaze, Fu Shanyue was thoughtful: "If it's not Cheng Yu, who else could it be?"

He Lingchuan secretly gave him a thumbs up:

Looks like, really looks like.

Fu Shanyue's magicians also know some spells, and their skills are not as good as Cheng Yu, but it is not difficult to cast a curse when Wu Kai is trapped.

Waiting for Cen Boqing and Cheng Yu to act is too slow, so they just do it themselves.

As long as the timing is good, there is no need to worry that Wu Kai will not confess.

He Lingchuan asked Cen Boqing again: "When I captured Wu Kai, I found that several amulets on him were broken. It seems that he has been cursed, but Cheng Yu, the master, did it last night." He Lingchuan continued, "After Wu Kai was arrested, his cultivation was sealed, so anyone could curse him."

Bai Ziqi looked at Cen Boqing: "Why didn't you let Cheng Yu take action earlier?"

If Cheng Yu had taken action earlier, the witness would have died suddenly, how could they have ended up like this?

In Bai Ziqi's opinion, Cen Boqing's indecision cost him his life.

Cen Boqing smiled bitterly: "Cheng Yu claimed that his soul was too badly injured, and he couldn't help me even if he came out of retreat early."

Everything was a coincidence.

Bai Ziqi also felt a little emotional, and asked him again: "Was it Wu Bo who framed Fu Songhua?"

"Yes, it was completely his own doing!"
