Chapter 68: The Shocking Thief

Mei Jiutong left Zhai Jingyue's room, thinking about what happened today in her mind, and was not sleepy for a moment, and was ready to visit Le Yiyang again.

When he passed by the Lobby of the Valley Sect, he found that the lights were bright. Mei Jiutong curiously opened the door and found that there were people standing inside. When the people heard the sound of the door opening, they all turned around and looked around. Mei Jiutong hurriedly said, "You guys can't misunderstand me. I passed by here and saw that the lights were not turned off late at night, so I came in and took a look."

Everyone did not answer, but stood there separately, but saw Ge Minshan sitting in the lobby, and the eldest disciple Yuan Zhenzhen standing next to him was still standing. Ge Minshan saw that the person coming was Mei Jiutong, and asked, "Young Master Mei hasn't rest yet?" Mei Jiutong replied devoutly, "Senior Ge, where can I sleep?" Ge Minshan said, "Yes, there have been too many things recently, and no one can rest with peace of mind?"

Mei Jiutong thought he was talking about Le Yiyang's poisoning and replied, "There is no antidote to Brother Le's poison, which is really worrying!" Ge Minshan said, "Young Master Le was injured in my quiet valley, but I was helpless. I am really ashamed!" Mei Jiutong said, "Young Master Le, don't blame yourself. If you hadn't been for Brother Le's luck, he would have been no longer in the world. As long as he still had a breath, we can think of a way to find a medicine for him to get the antidote."

Ge Minshan shook his head helplessly and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Yuan Zhenzhen stepped forward and said, "Mr. Mei, after healing Master Le today, he was exhausted and fell asleep when he returned to the room. When he woke up, he found that the martial arts secret book he carried with him disappeared. Master was worried about this."

Mei Jiutong did not expect such a major event to happen during this period and asked with concern: "Senior Ge lives in a quiet valley. He thinks that the secret martial arts books are definitely not ordinary. The profound martial arts recorded above are probably beyond the world's knowledge. I wonder who stole such a secret martial arts skill?"

Yuan Zhenzhen said: "My master was deeply sleepy at that time. He seemed to be lit into his sleep in a trance. He fell asleep for three hours in a row. Unexpectedly, there was such a bold and reckless person in the Guji Valley. If I found out, I would never let him go!"

Mei Jiutong asked, "Miss Yuan has a clue now?" Yuan Zhenzhen said angrily, "I have been looking for it for so long, but I have found nothing." Mei Jiutong said, "It's strange, who would do such a thing? Is it Dangxiang Warrior?" Yuan Zhenzhen heard this and asked, "Mr. Mei, you are the one who refers to Tuoba Jiyu. That's not good, Tuoba Jiyu is very skilled in martial arts. If he gets the "Yuanhe Secret Book", my Central Plains martial arts world will suffer."

Mei Jiulu: "The Secret Book of Yuanhe was unheard of before, and I don't know what book it is."

Yuan Zhenzhen said: "This is a martial arts secret book passed down from the Yuanhe period of Emperor Xianzong of the Tang Dynasty. It records the excellent martial arts in the world of martial arts in the middle Tang Dynasty. The "Yuanhe Secret Book" was hidden in the quiet valley for nearly a hundred years and has always been secret. If it is obtained by someone with bad intentions, it will definitely be a major disaster in the martial arts world. Mr. Mei, how do you know that it was stolen by Tuoba Jiyu?"

After hearing this, Mei Jiutong knew that this matter was extraordinary. If I didn't find out thoroughly, it would cause great harm. He said, "Miss Yuan, I'm just guessing. After visiting Brother Le and Jingyue during the day, Cui Xin left him alone in the room to take care of him. In the evening, when I visited him again, Cui Xin had lost her trace."

Yuan Zhenzhen was shocked and said, "What? Miss Cuixin is missing? Why didn't you say it earlier? Are there signs of fighting in Mr. Le's room?"

Mei Jiu Pass: "I didn't look closely. Cui Xin didn't understand martial arts skills. The person who came could capture her without any effort. I was anxious and didn't know how safe Cui Xin was, so I went outside to search. During the day, we seized Tuoba Jiyu's white horse, so we went to check it out. When we got there, we really found two warriors of Dangxiang were preparing to steal the horses."

Yuan Zhenzhen's face suddenly changed and he asked hurriedly: "Miss Cuixin is in their hands?" Mei Jiutong said disappointedly: "Cuixin is not there." After saying that, he told the story about what happened in the stable. Everyone present was shocked and discussed it at the moment.

After a while, a young man stood up and said, "It's so outrageous! Do those Dangxiang people think that there is no one in my quiet valley?" Mei Jiutong looked closely and saw that the person was Chen Lingzhi, who was competing with Zhang Yingxian during the day. Everyone else agreed, "What Brother Chen said makes sense. You must not let them go."

Mei Jiutong said with gaze: "These warriors have not changed their teachings and have repeatedly tried to hurt people's lives, but they are indeed unforgivable. However, as the chief of Kaifeng Prefecture, I have always adhered to the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty and would not kill people easily. This time I did not break this precept."

The people in the hall looked at me, and I looked at you, with a regretful expression on their faces. Yuan Zhenzhen didn't say a word, thinking about what would happen next.

At this time, Chen Lingzhi asked, "Mr. Mei, according to what you said, the two warriors of Dangxiang escaped after all?" Mei Jiutong said with a smile: "I am alone and wandering around the world. Don't call me any more masters or no." Chen Lingzhi said respectfully: "Mr. Mei is modest. Since that's the case, I will imitate my senior sister and call you Mr. Mei."

Mei Jiutong nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Chen. Those two Dangxiang warriors failed to attack, and I couldn't bear to hurt their lives. They could only advise them not to do bad things with Tuoba Jiyu from now on. After the two of them agreed, they would leave the Seiji Valley through the Tiger and Wolf Forest."

After listening to this, Chen Lingzhi looked at his senior sister Yuan Zhenzhen and his master Ge Minshan and said loudly: "Wild beasts often appear in the tiger and wolf forest. Usually, we disciples rarely go alone. How could those two Dangxiang warriors go away? It's really strange."

Mei Jiutong sighed and said slowly: "The two of them are not familiar with the place, so they didn't know that this forest was the place where tigers were besieged during the day. When Jingyue and I turned back to the building, we suddenly heard two screams from the woods. When we rushed over, the two of them had already been swallowed by tigers." At this point, his voice became low, and a trace of sadness flashed in his heart.

At this time, they were not surprised to hear this ending as expected by the disciples of the Valley Sect in the hall.

Yuan Zhenzhen heard the two of them die and wanted to find out whereabouts of "Yuanhe Secret Book", and asked: "Mr. Mei, have you seen traces of paper scraps in the place where the two were killed?" Mei Jiutong knew what she was referring to, shook her head and said: "Miss Yuan, there are no other things that the two of them carry except for blood and damaged clothes on the scene."

Yuan Zhenzhen said to himself: "Is it swallowed by a tiger? That's better, it's better than falling into the hands of a bad person." Mei Jiuluo said: "I dare not make a conclusion about this matter."

Ge Minshan next to him coughed. Everyone looked at him and heard him say with a clasp: "I agree with Mr. Mei's opinion. Judging from the fight between the two warriors of Dangxiang and Mr. Mei, their martial arts can only be considered inferior. If they break into the building, someone will definitely find out. Besides, they only came to steal the horse and did not know that there were martial arts secrets hidden in the Secret Valley. Therefore, I concluded that the person who stole the "Yuanhe Secret Book" was not them, but someone else!"

Yuan Zhenzhen said in a sweet voice: "It's so annoying. Who did it?" Mei Jiutong straightened his body and wanted to speak without saying a word.

Seeing this, Ge Minshan said kindly, "I heard that Mr. Mei had been the chief constable of Kaifeng Prefecture, which is really amazing. If you don't have a good official position, why do you come out to travel around the world? The world is much more sinister than the officialdom!" Mei Jiutong smiled slightly and said, "I am not good at learning and it is difficult to be competent for the chief constable position, so I resigned and refused to do it."

Ge Minshan stroked his beard with his hands and laughed: "Mr. Mei is a person with temperament, I admire him. What happened in the Seiji Valley today has nothing to do with you. However, I and my disciples racked my brains and didn't think of who did it. I would like to ask Mr. Mei for advice?"

Mei Jiutong was stunned and thought to himself: "Does Senior Ge suspect it was me?" Seeing this, Ge Minshan was worried that he would misunderstand, so he quickly added: "Mr. Mei, don't think too much. What I mean is to ask you to help solve this matter." Mei Jiutong felt relieved and stepped forward and said: "Since the senior has proposed it, you can do your best to do your best." Ge Minshan praised: "Okay, wonderful, with the help of Mr. Mei, I can rest assured."

Mei Jiutong was originally a public servant and had many experiences in investigating cases, so he dared to take over the theft case. After thinking for a while, he looked around the people in the house and saw that most of the disciples under Ge Minshan were present, but Zhang Yingxian was not found. So he said, "Senior Ge, I have a sentence below, that is not worth talking about or not?"

Ge Minshan smiled and said, "Mr. Mei, I am here, just say whatever you have." Mei Jiutong bowed respectfully and said, "I think that this matter is done without any flaws. It must be done by someone familiar with the daily routines of his predecessors."

Everyone in the hall was surprised and looked at each other, acting as if nothing had happened. Chen Lingzhi stood up and said angrily: "Mr. Mei means that the person who steals the martial arts secret books is among us." Mei Jiutong replied lightly: "It may not be the person in the house."

Ge Minshan saw that everyone in the audience was calm and didn't know what to answer, but suddenly he saw that Zhang Yingxian was missing in the house and asked loudly: "Is Xian'er here?" Yuan Zhenzhen said hurriedly: "Master, I went over and called him in front and found that he was not in the room. He asked other junior brothers again, and they all said that after he left angrily, he had never seen him again."

Ge Minshan said angrily: "Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Yuan Zhenzhen said innocently: "This happened too hasty, and the disciple has not yet reported it..." Yuan Zhenzhen is usually in charge of matters of the big and small Guest Valley. Ge Minshan trusts her very much, and only told him about the treasure hiding in the stone chamber. This time, it must be her negligence. Ge Minshan couldn't bear to continue to scold her and interrupted: "Okay, Zhen'er, it's not your fault."

Yuan Zhenzhen had thought in his mind whether Zhang Yingxian was doing this, but he couldn't understand why he did this. So while sending someone to find his trace, he came over to discuss solutions with his master.
