I can bless thousands of magical powers.

Chapter 148 Questioning
Two Qi and Blood Pills, five thousand taels of silver!
This generous reward is truly a timely help for Zhang Yuan.

After receiving the silver note, he immediately rushed to the herbal medicine shop in the county town to order the herbs he needed.

The medicinal bath materials that Zhang Yuan had previously purchased in Nanxun Mansion have now been completely consumed.

I haven't taken a medicinal bath for a few days and I feel uncomfortable all over.

As for the effect of practicing "Rock Posture", it can only be said to be better than nothing.

To some extent, Zhang Yuan has developed a habit of relying on medicinal soup.

There is no way. The difference between the progress of cultivation when insisting on soaking in the medicinal soup and when there is no medicinal soup to soak in is like heaven and earth!

Anyway, this paid martial arts technique was chosen by him, so he had to practice it to the third level.

When the owner of the Herbal Medicine Hall saw the list Zhang Yuan handed over, he couldn't help but look embarrassed: "Dear guest, we don't have the three fifty-year-old herbs you want in our store. We need to apply to the head office for transfer."

"That will take some time, is that okay?"

Zhang Yuan nodded: "As soon as possible."

Linhe is a small place after all, and many things cannot be bought here.

Originally, Zhang Yuan wanted to go to Nanxun in person.

But Yue Wuji had just specifically instructed him not to leave Whale Castle before the New Year.

Although he didn't know the reason, Zhang Yuan had to obey.

According to the rules of the pharmacy, he paid a deposit and returned to Whale Castle.

Continue practicing martial arts.

Zhang Yuan originally thought that Wang Chen’s matter was over.

But what he never expected was that only two days later, the Nanxun branch sent people down.

Question him!
"Zhang Yuan, this is Liu Wentao, the deputy head of Nanxun Shangduo Criminal Hall."

Yue Wuji, who personally brought Zhang Yuan to the Punishment Hall, said expressionlessly: "Whatever Hall Master Liu asks, you should answer truthfully. Say whatever you have to say, don't hide anything, and don't exaggerate."

"do you understand?"

Zhang Yuan nodded: "Disciple understands."

He bowed to Liu Wentao, who was sitting on the armchair, and said, "Disciple Zhang Yuan, greetings to Master Liu."

The deputy chief of the Nanxun Shangduo Criminal Hall was about forty years old, thin and with a harsh face. His pair of narrow eyes were half-open and half-closed, giving people the feeling that he was extremely scheming and had unpredictable thoughts.

"No gift."

Liu Wentao said calmly, "Zhang Yuan, do you know why I'm here?"

Zhang Yuan replied calmly: "Disciple knows."

"It's good to know."

Liu Wentao looked at him with cold eyes: "Tell me again how you killed Wang Chen that day."

Zhang Yuan glanced at Yue Wuji who was sitting next to him.

The latter nodded slightly.

According to normal procedures, Yue Wuji, the head of the War Hall, does not need to sit here and listen.

But his presence is undoubtedly a support for Zhang Yuan.

With Yue Wuji in charge.

Then Liu Wentao should forget about using any dirty tricks to deal with Zhang Yuan.

It can be seen that Liu Wentao is a little unhappy.

But the deputy head of the Nanxun Shangduo Xingtang didn't say anything.

So Zhang Yuan repeated what he had said to Yue Wuji a few days ago.

Unlike Yue Wuji.

While Zhang Yuan was talking, Liu Wentao would interrupt him from time to time to ask for details!

If Zhang Yuan made up a lie, it would be easily exposed.

The problem is that Zhang Yuan has lived two lives, and his mind and will are not comparable to those of teenagers of the same age. Moreover, most of what he said was true, and he only concealed the means used to kill Wang Chen.

But this is not the point, so the answer is flawless!
Liu Wentao asked again and again but couldn't get to the bottom of it. With Yue Wuji watching coldly from the side, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He suppressed his temper and listened to Zhang Yuan's story.

He suddenly shouted, "Zhang Yuan, Wang Chen said that you knew the secret of the Autumn Water Sword, so what did you promise him?"

The deputy head of the Nanxun Criminal Hall was a fourth-level cultivator. His shout exploded like thunder in Zhang Yuan's ears, causing the latter's eardrum to ache slightly.

"Deputy Hall Master Liu!"

Before Zhang Yuan could answer, Yue Wuji flew into a rage and slammed the table, saying, "This is clearly a trick by Wang Chen to frame us. Zhang Yuan has explained everything clearly and even handed over Wang Chen's body and weapons."

"If he had something to hide, why would he say it out loud?"

Liu Wentao, who was angrily rebuked by Yue Wuji, instantly turned purple: "Master Yue, I'm asking Zhang Yuan!"

Before he came to the river, he was thinking that this little incense master was just someone he could do whatever he wanted.

I never expected that Yue Wuji would support Zhang Yuan so much.

But Liu Wentao did not dare to turn against Yue Wuji. After all, they were both at the fourth level, and the latter's strength was enough to crush him.

All Liu Wentao relied on was his status as the deputy chief of Shangduoxingtang.

Yue Wuji snorted.

Zhang Yuan replied calmly, "Master Liu, I don't understand what Wang Chen meant by these two words. In order to prove my innocence, I brought his body back intact."

"in addition…"

He said in a deep voice: "Disciple can swear in front of the Dragon God that what I said is true, and disciple has not touched anything on Wang Chen's body, please judge for yourself!"

Liu Wentao was speechless.

In fact, the deputy chief of the Criminal Hall's doubts about Zhang Yuan were groundless.

Moreover, Zhang Yuan had made great contributions, but he was interrogated like a criminal, and the reasons were quite ridiculous.

If this gets out.

Where is the face of the angry whale?

Liu Wentao took a deep look and his expression eased a lot.

"Zhang Yuan, it's not that I'm deliberately trying to make things difficult for you, but Wang Chen's matter is extremely complicated and I won't tolerate any leniency from you."

He said in a deep voice: "I also believe that you are innocent, otherwise the inner hall would not have given you such a high reward, but there are some things that must be clarified. Do you understand?"

"Think about it again, is there anything you missed?"

The deputy chief of the Punishment Hall's tone became much softer and his attitude seemed quite sincere.

But how could Zhang Yuan be fooled by the other party? After thinking for a while, he shook his head and replied: "Disciple has explained everything clearly."

"so be it."

Liu Wentao's face quickly turned cold, and he waved his hand and said, "You can go back."

"The disciple retire."

Zhang Yuan bowed to Yue Wuji and Liu Wentao respectively, then left the execution hall.

Although this hurdle was passed, Zhang Yuan knew very well at this moment that what Wang Chen shouted before he pretended to be dead that day must have been heard by others.

This person must also be from the Linhe branch, and he informed the Nanxun branch.

Zhang Yuan was lucky in that he came back to report on the mission and did not hide what Wang Chen said.

Otherwise it’s totally unclear now!

The question is, what secrets are hidden in Wang Chen that caused such a big fuss in the Nanxun branch.

And who is the informer in the Linhe branch?

Zhang Yuan had a vague feeling that he seemed to be being watched.

The opponent is like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, ready to launch a fatal attack on him at any time!
Whale Castle is no longer absolutely safe.
