Chapter 20 Inquiry

Both are students, those who come out of Xiyue Academy are naturally superior, politeness is called etiquette, but if they give way in actual actions, they will fall into the prestige of the academy.

Classes are everywhere, and oppression is everywhere, but it doesn't have to be on the lips and on the face to be called oppression. This ubiquitous class itself is the most obvious appearance of the nobles being light-hearted.

Elder Xu has already welcomed the three of them into the room, Tang Jie was not polite, he sat down directly in the upper seat, and said: "We are here this time, and I still want to ask about Lin Lang."

"Just ask the Immortal, the little one and the little girl will know everything." Xu Xi'an pointed to himself, and then pointed to a young girl beside him and replied.

That young girl should be Xu Mujun, she is quite pretty and lovely, but she just keeps her head down and refuses to speak easily.

Tang Jie looked at the other party meaningfully, took a sip of tea, and then said: "I heard that Miss Xu made friends with Lin Lang when she was in Liuyun Academy? This is true."

Xu Mujun nodded his head lightly and replied: "Back to Mr. Tang, that's the case. When I first left home and entered the academy, there was no one to take care of me, and I was quite uncomfortable for a while. It was Lin Lang who appeared in time and helped me. Days After growing up, I developed some feelings for him. I didn't expect... I didn't expect him to be ambitious, but he was actually a secret agent of Tianshen Palace..."

Speaking of this, the girl burst into tears.

Tang Jie said: "To be precise, his father is the secret agent of the Tianshen Palace, but whether he is himself, because he has not been caught, is still unknown."

As soon as he said this, the girl was obviously taken aback: "Young Master Tang, what you mean is that Lin...isn't he from Tianshen Palace?"

"I didn't say whether he is or not, but we need to catch someone to confirm." Tang Jie said indifferently: "By the way, Miss Xu, can I ask where you were when Lin Lang escaped?"

"At that time, I was practicing in my residence."

"Did he come to you before he ran away?"

The girl shook her head.

"Then how long after he left did you go home?"

"Three days later. To tell you the truth, Mr. Tang, although I left in the name of a trial, it was actually just an excuse. After this happened, I was also terrified, lest it would implicate me, so I hurried home."

"You said that not long after that, people from the Moon Cleansing Sect came to look for you?"

"yes."

"how long?"

"About ten days later."

"Since Lin Lang escaped, has he not been in touch with you?"

"No, absolutely not!" The girl said again and again: "The little girl can swear by her heart demon. After this matter comes out, the little girl will definitely not have any contact with that Lin Lang!"

"En?" Tang Jie glanced at the girl upon hearing the sound, and even Wei Tianchong and Shi Meng looked at each other in blank dismay.

Although the heart demon oath is not 100% effective, the psychological importance formed over the years makes most immortal cultivators pay more attention to the heart demon oath.

If what Xu Mujun said was true, wouldn't it mean that Tang Jie's previous guess was completely wrong? The reason why the Xiyue faction left this line may not be because they have already known Lin Lang's whereabouts as Tang Jie said, but it is more likely that they have not confirmed all this themselves.

Tang Jie narrowed his eyes slightly: "Since that's the case, let's talk about what you know."

Xu Mujun then told everything he knew about Lin Lang.

Perhaps for the sake of clearing up the suspicion, Xu Mujun spoke in great detail, including Lin Lang's interests, hobbies, living habits, etc., almost freely revealing, without hiding anything.

After some inquiries, there was no result, Wei Tianchong and Shi Meng were a little disappointed.

Seeing that the night was getting dark, Tang Jie said: "Thank you, Ms. Xu for your answer. I apologize for disturbing the house this time."

"It's okay, it's okay!" Xu Xi'an hurriedly said: "Since the three of you are here, you might as well have a light meal at the house before leaving."

At this time, the Xu Mansion had already prepared a dinner for the three of them.

Tang Jie was also polite, and the three of them sat down for dinner together.

Without the previous cross-examination, the conversation during the meeting seemed much more relaxed and natural. Xu's mansion flattered the guests, and the food served was all good wine and food, and there was no lack of precious spiritual food.

Tang Jie Shimeng is welcome,

Taking the opportunity to gluttonously, while eating, Tang Jie said: "Well, not bad, Xu Mansion is worthy of everyone in Fengyin, there are such delicacies, it's a pity..."

"I don't know what Mr. Tang regrets. If I can do it, I will do my best for you." Xu Xi'an asked.

"It's a pity that there is no red fruit from Yueyang. This thing is the most hangover. It also lacks the white lotus from Linchuan. This thing is the most appetizing, and there is less honey lotus root from Sanjiang. It is the best taste in the world." Tang Jie shook his head and said.

Xu Xi'an was stunned: "Really? Yueyang, Linchuan and Sanjiang are all around Fengyin. They are old and incompetent, and they don't know about it. They will prepare it for the son in another day."

"That's nothing. By the way, I don't know if there is Yusong tea in the house. Drink this tea after meals, it will refresh your mind and have the best effect."

"No." Xu Xi'an felt ashamed.

"Forget it." Tang Jie smiled.

Turning around, he said to Xu Mujun, "By the way, I have something to ask Miss Xu."

"Sir, please speak."

"A few days ago, I met a female nun, and I wanted to make friends with her. I wanted to give her a pair of embroidery to show my heart. I heard that the embroidery workers in Fenglinyuan and Meijianfang are the most outstanding in Yanzhou, but I don't know which one. Even better. Ms. Xu is a lady, so she must be clear about it, and I would like to ask Ms. Xu to give me some pointers."

"This..." Xu Mujun frowned, and said softly, "Fenglinyuan is better after all."

"So that's it, I've been taught." Tang Jie replied with a smile.

After drinking and eating, Tang Jie finally got up and said, "Thank you Miss Xu for your cooperation. It's getting late, so we won't bother you anymore."

He showed that he wanted to leave, and the Xu family breathed a sigh of relief together, and took his daughter's family all the way to the door.

Along the way, Tang Jie asked casually: "By the way, last time Xiyue sent people, I don't know who came?"

Xu Mujun froze for a moment, looked at his father, Xu Xi'an said: "It's Master Chang Yuping of the Xiyue Sect and his two subordinates."

"Chang Yuping?" Tang Jie muttered the name in a low voice. He hadn't joined the Moon Washing Sect after all, and his understanding of the inside of the Moon Washing Sect was still limited. He knew well-known figures such as Yan Changfeng better. Healers and the Moon Washing Sect abound, so he doesn't know much about it.

"Which church is it?" Tang Jie asked.

"Lü Tang." Xu Xi'an replied.

"Lü Tang?" Tang Jie murmured again: "What did Master Chang say after he came?"

"After asking about it, Master Chang checked Xu's house again, and left after confirming that nothing happened. I thought the matter was over, but I didn't expect..."

Xu Xi'an didn't say any more, but the subtext was that you Xiyue Sect have already certified that my Xu family has nothing to do with Lin Lang, so what are you doing here?

"I see." Tang Jie smiled suddenly: "The Xu family must have spent a lot of money on this, right?"

Then Xu Xi'an was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Where is it? Wenxin Kingdom has been blessed by the gods, and the weather is good every year, and the grain is plentiful. The little old man has always admired the gods. The gods have come from afar, all the way For your hard work, the Xu family must prepare some small gifts to express their affection, and if the immortal accepts it, it will be a great honor to the Xu family."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and his servants had delivered several brocade boxes to them.

Tang Jie lifted the lid of the box and took a look. It turned out that there were spiritual coins instead of taels of silver, and there were probably no less than a thousand coins in each box.

Seeing the money, Tang Jie's eyes sank, but Wei Tianchong and Shi Meng were delighted to see it.

One must know that even if Wei Tianchong came from a family, the more Lingqian, the better.

Many things are easy to say, but when the temptation really arises, the vast majority of people are almost powerless in the face of this temptation.

Seeing the three brocade boxes at this moment, Wei Tianchong couldn't help stretching out his hand to take it. Unexpectedly, Tang Jie slapped Wei Tianchong's hand back, and gently patted the three brocade boxes again. Push back the brocade box.

Seeing this scene, Xu Xi'an was shocked: "Young Master Tang, what do you mean?"

Tang Jie said slowly: "Scholar Xiyue was ordered to arrest Lin Lang, and he came here only to find out his whereabouts. As long as the Xu family abides by the law, there is nothing to worry about."

Xu Xi'an laughed back angrily: "According to Mr. Tang, I am guilty of doing this? If you are dissatisfied, you can accuse me, Xu Xi'an, of harboring fugitives!"

"That's not enough." Tang Jie said indifferently: "I just said, we will investigate impartially, and we will never wrong good people casually. The elderly can rest assured."

"Since that's the case, the old man can rest assured."

While talking, everyone has come to the door.

Seeing that he was about to leave, the moment Tang Jie left the house, Tang Jie suddenly said: "Miss Xu has been in school for four years, so she must be at the Linghu level now?"

"Yes, it's the Linghu steps." Xu Mujun replied.

"I heard that the Xu family has only one daughter, you, and all hopes are placed on you."

"Mu-jun is incompetent, met with unkind people, and failed in his studies, but instead caused a lot of trouble for the family." Xu Mujun replied with his head down.

"So, you are the only cultivator in the Xu family now?"

"yes."

"That's weird, why do I remember that the Xu family should have a servant?" Tang Jie said suddenly.

As soon as these words came out, Xu Mujun's body trembled suddenly.

Tang Jie chuckled and strode out the door.

Walk out of the gate of Xu Mansion.

Tang Jie's face quickly sank.

Wei Tianchong saw that his expression was wrong, and asked, "Are you still worried about not being sure? There is no need..."

He still wanted to comfort Tang Jie, but Tang Jie shook his head and said, "Lin Lang is at Xu's house!"

He said this so firmly that both of them were taken aback by him.

Shi Meng said anxiously: "Then Xu Mujun has made a wish, I think she made it so neatly, I don't want it to be false."

Tang Jie asked back: "The question is, what if she wasn't Xu Mujun?"

"Huh?" The two of them froze together.

Wei Tianchong pointed at Tang Jie and said tremblingly, "You...you said that the girl just now...she...wasn't Xu Mujun?"

"Nonsense!" Tang Jie spit on the ground: "It's so fake, if she is Xu Mujun, I will be the real Changfeng!"

Shi Meng asked anxiously: "How do you know she's not Xu Mujun?"
