Chapter 500 Man’s calculation is not as good as God’s calculation
After seeing the contents on the mother-child talisman, Bai Qiru was startled, and quickly pulled out the cigarette holder he was holding. He quickly rushed forward, showed the contents on the mother-child talisman to Li Xianghong, and asked anxiously, "Where is Mei You now?"
Li Xianghong looked suspicious, "This person obviously has ulterior motives, and what he said may not be credible."
She knew who sent the message without asking where it came from. She knew, of course, that the other party had picked up the talisman that she had thrown away.
Bai Qiru's voice suddenly became louder, "I can't afford the gamble! Where is Mei You? Ah Hong, help me!"
Li Xianghong, who was sitting upright, tilted her head to look at the letter and was speechless...
Lou Xiu, who was in the city wall, felt very conflicted and uncomfortable facing the paused light spot in the mirror. He wanted to send someone to check and confirm it, but he was worried that they were really intercepted by the city lord's men. Wouldn't the person he sent be walking into a trap?
Is the mastermind behind this really that powerful and able to grasp the city lord's movements?
He turned his head to look at Mei You who was staring at the outside world in front of the open window, pursed his lips, and finally walked to the coffee table in the corner. He took out a small red pill, gently crushed it into powder, sprinkled it into an empty water cup, and then took the kettle to pour two cups of tea.
At the same time, he said, "It's no use waiting here, have a cup of tea, relax, and take it one step at a time."
After saying that, he put down the teapot and took a cup for himself to sip slowly.
Mei You strode over, picked up the poured tea, and did not forget to flatter him, "The captain has a really good attitude. I am ashamed of myself."
After saying that, he raised his head and drank it in one gulp.
It was obvious that he really didn't have the heart to think carefully. After putting down the teacup, he went to the window to look into the distance, muttering, "We should be almost at Zhalan Slope. There will be news soon..."
Lou Xiu continued to sip the tea in front of the coffee table. When Mei You wasn't paying attention, he took away the cup that Mei You had just drunk from and quietly crushed it into powder in his palm.
When I walked to an open window, I stretched out my hand and spread my palm, and the dust was blown away by the gusts of wind.
It can also be said that the evidence has been destroyed.
He just poisoned Mei You's tea.
If the mastermind behind the message was lying, he would give Mei You the antidote before the poison took effect. If Mei You was really captured, there would naturally be no antidote.
The wind blew away the evidence, and he walked back to the coffee table and put down the teacup. Then he took out a talisman and sent out a message for help: Sir, Li Xianghong wants to harm me, please help me!
Regardless of whether what the mastermind said was true or false, the stopping of the white spot in the mirror made him realize that the situation seemed to have gotten out of control and he was afraid that he could not hold on by himself.
Just as he finished sending the message, he suddenly looked back and saw a group of people flying onto the city wall and rushing straight into the ear tower. Among them was Huang Yingying's wife Bai Qiru.
Before Lou Xiu could put away the 'Mother and Child Dharma Plate', the leading City Lord's maid had already kicked open the door, so he could not move rashly.
Before Mei You could react to what was happening, she saw a group of people rushing towards her, "You..."
Before he could finish his words, the city lord's maid took the initiative to attack. It could not be said to be a sneak attack. She directly controlled him. Two other people quickly followed and detained him.
"What are you doing?" Mei You shouted in shock and anger.
The city lord's maid knocked his bamboo hat away, lifted his chin and asked, "Where is Huang Yingying?"
What's going on? Mei You didn't know why these people came to her for Huang Yingying, and glanced at Lou Xiu.
Lou Xiu raised his hand and made a downward gesture, indicating that it was not a big problem and asked him to keep it steady.
Mei You immediately exclaimed: "I don't understand what you are saying?"
Bai Qiru couldn't bear it anymore, so he suddenly attacked, cut in, grabbed Mei You's neck, and said sternly, "Tell me, where is the person?"
Lou Xiu immediately warned, "Bai Qiru, who are you to dare to attack the chief city tax supervisor? Who gave you the courage? Was it the city lord?"
Bai Qiru turned his head and stared at him, his eyes as cold as a knife.
The waitress patted her hands, motioning for her to let go, and then tilted her head to signal the entourage, "Take it away!"
Mei You was taken away on the spot. Before leaving, Lou Xiu gave him a reassuring look.
However, the maids and others in the room did not leave. Lou Xiu asked, "Why? You arrested Mei Shaojian for no reason. Are you going to arrest me too?"
The waitress had already walked to the 'Mother and Child Dharma Plate', staring at the light spot on it, pointing and asking: "Who is this?"
Lou Xiu ignored him, turned around with his hands behind his back, and looked out the window leisurely.
Seeing that there was no response, the waitress turned her head and stared at him, "I am here on behalf of the city lord to question and investigate the case. Is Lou Tixia deliberately not cooperating?"
Seeing her bring out the formal rules, Lou Xiu in front of the window stopped pretending, turned his head and glanced at her, saying indifferently: "I don't know, Mei You asked me to borrow the 'Mother and Child Dharma Plate', saying that she wanted me to watch a good show, I didn't know what the good show was, I was waiting here, and you came and disturbed it."
The waitress asked again, "You won't say you didn't take Lord Xun's belongings, right?" Lou Xiu was secretly shocked when she heard that, not knowing how the other party knew about it, but she said calmly, "I've already said that it was Mei You who wanted to show me a good show and asked me to take Lord Xun's belongings. He said he had a way to lure out the murderer. If we can catch the murderer, what's wrong with cooperating with him?"
Well, seeing that he pushed all the responsibility onto Mei You, the waitress knew that it was useless to ask any more questions. The personnel transferred from outside the city could also be pushed onto Mei You with the same reason as before. She immediately warned: "Everyone present heard what Lou said. If we confront Mei You later, we won't regret it. I hope he has the guts to take the blame for everything."
Lou Xiu said calmly, "Is it not possible for me to answer truthfully? If you want to frame me, go ahead and I will take over. But I want to remind you that my position in Dazhi City is second only to the City Lord. This is an appointment granted by the God Mountain. It is not your turn to mock me. If this Dazhi City really has no place for reason and people can do whatever they want, it doesn't matter. The God Mountain will have its own judgment. I hope you can bear it when the time comes!"
The waitress did not argue with him, but first sent a message to the city lord and reported the situation.
Li Xianghong ordered that Lou Xiu be kept under guard first, and that Mei You should be dealt with after she spoke out.
The other thing is to contact Lord Poyuan who is stationed outside the city and hand over this "Mother-Child Dharma Plate" to the people from the God Mountain for inspection...
At the city gate, Chu Jingtang witnessed the arrival of Bai Qiru and his party, and also witnessed Mei You being captured. He quickly informed Shi Chun of the situation.
After reading the message, Shi Chun in the library realized that things had gone as he had expected, so he felt relieved and immediately replied to ask Chu Jingtang to evacuate.
There is no need to watch at the city gate anymore for fear of accidents, and staying there all the time will easily arouse suspicion.
He continued to work busily in the library, and the only thing he had to wait for now was news of Wu Jinliang's safety.
He estimated that Wu Jinliang's safety should be safe.
He spent so much effort, but even if he did it, Lou Xiu would not cooperate with his plan. He could have expected that they would arrange other people. They made it clear in advance that the transaction would be outside the city. Wasn't it just to give them an opportunity? They would only take out something to make this transaction if they had a chance to counterattack.
Although Fan Wuzhe's delivery method was relatively safe, he used Fan Wuzhe's delivery method to lure Lou Xiu away, to some extent, hoping to add a greater security environment to the transaction.
Lou Xiu's men were lured away, and Li Xianghong's men, who were keeping an eye on Lou Xiu, would naturally be lured away as well.
Li Xianghong's men were used to hold down Lou Xiu's hands in case of any unexpected events.
Even if he could not successfully lure the person away, even if Lou Xiu had the conditions to locate the transaction items and could see through his trick of luring them away, he could still keep close to them and tip off the people, so that Lou Xiu's men would not dare to act rashly towards the place where Fan Wuzhe threw the things.
Under heavy precautions, Wu Jinliang said that he had the ability to escape underground, so he should be able to leave safely.
However, in reality, there are always many unexpected things that some people cannot predict.
The sun was shining brightly. Just as Lao Changtai rode his horse into the city, Wu Jinliang also came out from underground leading Huang Yingying to catch their breath. They breathed in the fresh air and looked at the blue sky and white clouds between the grass leaves, feeling very refreshed.
The speed of traveling underground is not fast enough. In any case, it is definitely not as fast as traveling on the ground. It is quite tiring to cast spells and travel underground all the time. It is also related to the level of cultivation.
In short, I felt stuffy and tired, so I came out to take a breath and relax.
Wu Jinliang was fine after taking off his mask to fan himself. He could save energy and let Huang Yingying carry him while he ran. However, Huang Yingying was panting like an old dog, and her wounds from the beating had not healed yet.
The two people who were sitting on the ground and breathing freely had not yet recovered from their shock when suddenly, a figure fell from the sky and landed just near them.
It was none other than the people who came from the sacred mountain.
Because of Bai Qiru's plea, Li Xianghong took direct action against Lou Xiu. There was nothing to hide, so Shenshan's men were immediately dispatched.
Fan Wuzhe was captured before he reached Zhalanpo.
According to the display of the 'Mother and Child Talisman', the location where Fan Wuzhe threw the things was also found, and the mother and child talisman thrown away by Wu Jinliang was also searched for. Since there was no other things or people who took over, he would naturally not let it go easily.
People were setting up nets everywhere and watching closely. The view from the sky was too good to allow anyone to escape, so a large-scale grid-like search on the ground was launched.
As luck would have it, a search team member vaguely heard some movement nearby, so he jumped over to check, and he really hit the mark and ran into Wu Jinliang and Huang Yingying on the spot.
The two sides stared at each other.
The person who came suddenly opened his voice and shouted, "Someone, here!"
Wu Jinliang's hair stood on end and his scalp went numb because of his shouting, as if he had been electrocuted. He dodged and rushed towards the other party, still holding the iron chain in his hand.
There was no way. There was no time to place any restrictions on Huang Yingying, and I was afraid that Huang Yingying would run away.
The reason why he didn't run away but instead rushed forward and fought hard was because the other party saw his true face, so wouldn't he be killed?
Someone who calls out to others as soon as he meets them probably isn’t very strong, right?
Under the blue sky and white clouds and the shade of green grass, one man was holding a knife in surprise, and another rushed forward pulling a chain. Huang Yingying was pulled into the air with his eyes bulging, his tongue sticking out, and his expression was extremely ecstatic. The chain that suddenly tightened around his neck almost pulled his head off.
