Chapter 207 The mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind
Zhang Cheng ignored it.
Of course he couldn't just search for her alone.
The Qingying Sword is the treasure of the Zhang family and must be found.
The corners of Mu Xi's mouth curled up slightly, and she raised her eyes to meet Shen Yu's, her face froze.
There is nothing wrong with the woman's expression at first glance, but there is a hint of joking on closer inspection.
Especially those eyes, always give people a feeling of ridicule, which is uncomfortable.
Half an hour later, more than a dozen guards returned without success.
Mu Xi was puzzled.
She obviously spent a lot of money to let someone put it in the yard, how could she find someone in the soul refining level with her cultivation base of the bone refining level?
Shen Yu felt disdainful.
She is indeed low in strength, but she is a soul doctor or a top alchemist, and she is extremely sensitive to smells.
The soul medicines in Zhang's warehouse are all packed in a kind of mahogany box, and this kind of mahogany box has a special smell.
The flowers and plants she raises in the yard are all soul plants that are extremely sensitive to smells. Any special smell mixed with the scent of this flower will emit a peculiar smell.
She has smelled it since she entered the yard.
She has this habit in Muhun Continent.
Do they think she just likes flowers and plants?
She never raises useless things.
Zhang Xinxi stood behind the third lady, staring at Shen Yu in a daze, wondering what she was thinking.
Not long after, another group of people came in, holding several empty mahogany boxes and a token in their hands.
Zhang Cheng strode closer, and the elders also frowned.
"Where is Qingying Sword?"
"Go home, lord, only tokens and these empty boxes."
Zhang Cheng's veins suddenly popped up, and he shouted angrily, "Where did you find it?"
The guard glanced at Zhang Qingsheng who was at the side.
Seeing the appearance of the guard, the third lady immediately panicked.
"In the rockery behind Master Zhang Qingsheng's yard..."
Zhang Qingsheng raised his eyes in shock.
Before Zhang Cheng could speak, the third wife immediately brought Zhang Qingsheng to kneel on the ground.
"Patriarch, please be clear, Qingsheng has never been near the warehouse..."
Mu Xi Youyou, who was at the side, said: "The elders have said that they used secret methods, but the third lady's words are too weak."
The third lady raised her head and gave her a warning look, before leaning over and throwing herself on the ground.
Zhang Cheng's tone was cold, "Where is the Qingying sword? As long as you return the sword, I will forget the past."
Zhang Qingsheng hurriedly said: "Qingsheng doesn't know, Qingsheng was wronged."
The elders stood in the distance with impatient faces.
Zhang Cheng raised his hand and shot out a wave of soul power.
Zhang Qingsheng flew out in an instant, spitting blood.
"Qingsheng—" The third lady hurried over, trying to feed him the elixir, but he knocked it down.
"not me--"
Zhang Cheng was unmoved.
The evidence is here, and all the elders are looking at it. Is it possible for him to admit that the Qingying Sword has disappeared?
"Zhang Qingsheng, tell me, why are these things only in your yard?" the Great Elder said calmly.
The third lady was speechless for a while, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Zhang Xinxi standing in the crowd, her eyes turned lightly, and then flashed fiercely.
Zhang Qingsheng could only say "I don't know" dryly, he didn't offend anyone, and he didn't know why things were in his yard.
He is not the only one who can't figure it out, but also the third wife.
The only person she offended was Yue Xianyun, but Yue Xianyun could even let Zhang Xinxi off, there was no reason to hurt Zhang Qingsheng.
Shen Yu had almost faded out of sight of the group of people, enjoying the farce from behind with a smile on her face.
The most unlikely people are the most likely.
Everyone would think so, and Zhang Cheng was no exception.
Just when they were at an impasse, the third lady stood up suddenly, and knelt down in front of Zhang Cheng with a look of righteousness.
"Patriarch, I can't hide it anymore, and I don't want to say..."
"But they are all my children, I can't give up on Qingsheng... let him take the blame for others..."
Shen Yu clicked her tongue twice in her heart and looked towards the crowd.
Zhang Xinxi stood on the spot expressionlessly, feeling cold all over.
"It's Xinxi. Last night, Xinxi suddenly brought back a large amount of soul medicine. He said he was going to exchange soul stones and then took us away from the Zhang family. How could we leave the Zhang family... Qingsheng naturally didn't want to..."
After speaking, the third lady suddenly got up and ran to Zhang Xinxi to kneel on the ground, holding her wrists with both hands, crying and saying: "Xinxi, mother knows I'm sorry for you, but mother really can't give up Qingsheng for you..."
Zhang Xinxi lowered her head, and the woman in front of her who had lived with her for more than [-] years showed pleading eyes, and her posture was as low as dust.
Zhang Qingsheng got his mother's wink, and said to Zhang Xinxi: "Sister, I... I can't hide it... Originally, I planned to deal with everything..."
Zhang Xinxi suddenly chuckled, his eyes turned red unconsciously, he raised his head slightly and drew out his hand, taking a step back.
When he looked at the mother and son who were loving and filial, there was no trace of emotion in their eyes.
Ever since she was born, she never let her be called mother.
The third lady was stabbed by her gaze, and instinctively wanted to hold her hand, but she avoided it.
Zhang Xinxi took a few steps forward and walked in front of Zhang Cheng, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, respectfully said: "Father, I don't want to plead guilty for my brother."
"My mother has been going to my father frequently recently to wait for an opportunity to steal the token. Zhang Qingsheng used secret methods to steal the soul medicine and Qingying sword, and sold them on the black market in exchange for soul stones."
The third lady raised her head sharply, "Zhang Xinxi, I am your mother, how dare you—"
Zhang Xinxi interrupted her without changing her expression, and continued: "There are hundreds of thousands of soul stones buried under the second peach blossom tree in mother's yard."
The third lady was stunned.
She... she spying on her?
"The big maid next to my mother has also seen their mother and son trading in the black market."
Zhang Cheng winked and signaled the guards to look for the soul stone.
The third lady turned her head to look at the person behind her in disbelief.
I saw a maidservant in apricot-colored coarse cloth dress kneeling forward and said in a trembling voice: "I have indeed seen it, but the third lady threatened the servant's family and asked the master to be the master."
Not long after, a dozen guards were carrying several large boxes of soul stones and a storage bag.
Zhang Cheng glanced at it, and it was densely packed with soul stones.
"What other excuses do you have?"
The Great Elder was in a hurry, and directly threw the third wife and Zhang Qingsheng into the air, and the two of them immediately became embarrassed.
"Zhang Cheng, those who take care of you, you know what Qingying Sword means."
The other elder also snorted coldly, "I hope that next time your juniors won't sell us old things together."
It seemed that the five elders were very angry, and they left with their hands behind their backs, unwilling to take another look.
The third lady seemed to be stupid, Zhang Qingsheng was still shouting for grievances, even scolding Zhang Xinxi together.
The two guards supported the third lady, but she broke free violently, and rushed towards her daughter.
"Why do you want to kill us...why do you want to kill us..."
The guards stood in front of her and dragged her away.
The two punched and kicked the guards along the way, shouting and cursing, which was extremely unpleasant.
Zhang Cheng glanced at him, did not comfort Zhang Xinxi, and left with an indifferent face.
Mu Xi, who was walking behind, was overjoyed. Although she didn't get rid of Yue Xianyun, it was good to get rid of their mother and son.
There are not many good things in the Zhang family, and the family has to be destroyed to relieve their anger.
